GREETINGS
FELLOW BEINGS OF
LIGHT AND MATTERWelcome to the 14th issue.
May, a month to allow new things to happen. For me it is a popular month for birthdays and a favorite time of year. On the prairies it would be not too hot or too cold, the bugs only beginning to breed and leaf buds opening exponentially. Here on the West Coast it remains just as magical. This year I chose to start the month attending my third Jin Shin Jyutsu coarse. My weekend with The Story Teller was very informative and we learned some great new tools. Personally I learned more about my path and my past and how incidents with our parents and their behavior to each other can affect how we are. As children we are very susceptible to their emotions and their behaviors to each other much more subtly and profoundly than many of us realize.
Blessings and Hugs, ♡Petra

From these new strandsforming larger bands

Honey
By Petra
I once was a little cow, if you can imagine that. But for my age I was little. I didn’t have a lot of others my own age either thus leaving me t o f e e l e v e n smaller among all t h o s e o l d e r matrons. I f y o u know anything about cows, you understand how bossy we are. We like to head butt a n d t e s t o u r boundaries with everything and everyone. We have very hard heads and if you are big you have a lot of butt you can push.
One day I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. But for what happened you can say I was in the right place at the right time. I got pushed very hard by a big mother to be. We are all mothers to be as we are jersey milk cows. This day though I became a very injured calf. Technically I was still a
yearling, but only the size of a large calf. My leg was injured to the effect I was unable to stand on it. It was swollen, hot and very painful. Luckily for me my o w n e r s a t M o o n S t r u c k O r g a n i c Cheese Farm called Petra to help. I was in
too much discomfort to fight her and found over the hour that she worked on my leg, the discomfort eased (con’t page 5)

The Body is Designed for MovementBut did you know this is important for the nervous
system. When we move, we define ourselves in space and time. The nerves and impulses are the mechanism
and method. They integrate the physical world (matter)
with the subtler levels such as consciousness and energy
flows (energy).
This integration begins in infancy when the infant begins to explore the world around it, its environment.
When a child is allowed to explore this world without
being chastised or monitored in fear, the child develops
a healthy emotional connection with the world as well
as a strong sense of what it can and cannot do.Why you may ask is this is so important? It is that
with out this sense, it is less than what it can be as an
adult. It is more difficult for the adult self to deal with cont’d on page 5

eased considerably. The swelling and heat went down as well. I over heard her say to my owners that the energy had cleared significantly which will allow for greater healing. I felt a lot better and was soon on my feet again. A couple of years later I was able to have another session. This time we got to dance. I was able to experience the healing art all through my body while some others could only watch. Yeah me...
