Dirty Dozen/H Post

By

The Huffington Post recently reported findings on the top 12 most pesticide-laden fruits and vegetables.  How dismaying it is to read that apples are #1 on the list for pesticides. So much for “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”! The obvious solution would be to eat only organic produce, but the financial burden of doing so is prohibitive. Plus organic choices are sometimes just not available.

While we eat organically as much as possible, exposure to pesticides and environmental toxins is inevitable and that is why we should give our bodies an extra boost by detoxing occasionally. A detox regimen helps rejuvenate and energize and also facilitates weight loss if you feel you need to shed some pounds.

I have created a mini detox booklet that will give you a nice lift on all areas of life – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. The program will begin to bring things into balance. I prefer a gentle approach to cleansing rather than an aggressive one that may lead to health problems.

You can receive a copy of the helpful booklet by donating to Universal Oneness United Faith Canada  (UOUFC), a charity that I am active in as a volunteer grief facilitator. UOUFC welcomes people of all faiths, and those with no faith to participate in special events that honour the beliefs of each individual. We seek to share wisdom, create harmony, enhance understanding and foster love, which is the universal oneness of all life.
Offered once a month, our free grief support group is designed to help heal the wounds of folks who may have experienced a significant loss. We offer support and education on dealing with grief and effectively working through the painful process. We offer empathy, education, and support. Your donation is deeply appreciated by the many lives we help!

Grief Support Groups for 2013 in Toronto

By

Offered once a month, our grief support group is designed to help  heal the wounds of folks who may have experienced a significant loss.

We offer empathy, education, and support.

This event is open to all who have had any significant loss. This could include:

  • Bankruptcy
  • Divorce and all other break ups
  • Loss of health
  • Loss of a job
  • A death of a loved one
  • Loss of dreams how we thought our life was going to evolve
  • Loss of a pet
  • And any other loss you may personally have experienced

Grief is a natural reaction to significant loss, and can manifest itself in a bewildering cluster of  emotions. These emotions can be uncomfortable for the person experiencing them and also disconcerting to others witnessing the emotions. Therefore, we often suppress grief and put on a “brave face” but this can promote internal conflict and  lead to break downs in physical and emotional health. This can be avoided by working with a therapist or a grief support group.

Also be aware that losses happen in our life and we keep on going without taking time to properly heal. So no matter how long ago was your loss you are welcome to join us.

What we will cover:

  • We will look at a healthy response to grief
  • Understanding the many faces of loss
  • Becoming aware of the five phases of grief
  • Steps to help move through the five phases
  • How to move out of the crisis mode

427 Bloor  Street  West  at Spadina, Toronto

Have you ever woken up happy and motivated only to be suddenly  hit with a cloud of doom that makes you feel depressed, anxious, and hopeless?

Our grief support group is designed to help support and heal the wounds of folks who may have experienced a significant loss. Remember loss not only stems from a death but also from the loss of dreams, a job, health, money, having children and many more events. Also be aware that losses happen in our life and we keep on going, and not taking time to heal the loss. So no matter how long ago was your loss, you are welcome to join us.

Grief is a natural reaction, often manifesting itself in a bewildering cluster of ordinary human emotions in response to any significant loss. Grief in our society is tends to be suppressed which can often  lead to breakdowns in physical and emotional health. This can be avoided by working with a therapist or a grief support group to help heal the losses from the past.

Grieving people need: empathy, to be with somebody who understands their pain, community support, and education that grief is a healthy response to loss.

If you know someone who is suffering from grief, please pass along information about our grief group. Thank you for helping our community heal.

What we will cover:

·         We will look at a healthy response to grief

·         Understanding the many faces of loss

·         Becoming aware of the five phases of grief

·         Steps to help cope through each phase of grief

·         How to move out of the crisis mode

An Introduction to the Grief Journey

We will look at the five phases of grieving. We will incorporate holistic approaches like Bach remedies, aromatherapy, acupressure, meditation and homeopathy to help cope during this difficult transitional period.

 

Tuesday June 12, 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm

Identifying and Dealing with Grief Triggers

How often were you feeling fine and out of the blue, you burst into a grief explosion? This workshop will help you understand the triggers that will bring up the sense of loss. Once you begin to understand the triggers you will be able to alter the response and the behavior that often follows. Learn how to transform the triggers to a positive behavior. We will also look at the role of journaling to process uncomfortable emotions.

Triggers:

Have you ever woken up happy and motivated, only to be hit by a sudden sense of doom? A cloud hangs over your head, and you feel down, depressed, anxious, and hopeless.

When it comes to processing grief  and loss, many factors can be a trigger for you to burst into tears or blow up like a volcano.

This evening will deal with how to learn to identify triggers and diffuse them.

A trigger is something in the present that resonates with something similar from the past and it may happen faster than a nanosecond. The event in the present has the potential to bring up all of your feelings from the past. You can learn to change your response to this trigger.

We will look at  journaling to help process your feelings of loss. Journaling is a great tool to process emotions but most folks do not know how to get started. This workshop will give you all the tools to start journaling and start clearing negative events when you go home.

The evening will conclude with a guided meditation to heal loss and bring in peace.

We look forward to assisting one and all in their healing journey.

Rev. Alexandra Gellman
