Beginnings 

After giving a presentation at the Ottawa Society of Dowsers, we had to be out of 

the building by 9 PM and participants had more questions.  In the parking lot 

while other conversations were also taking place, an older woman told me about 

diagnosed facial myalgia on one side of her face that caused her pain for years.  

She and I decided to explore using bio-computer muscle-testing.  At the end of 

five minutes she said her pain was gone. 

This encouraged me as a facilitator back in 1998 to invite people to gather in 

circle and freely share their talents in a give-and-receive manner.  The purpose

was for us to contribute to each other’s wellness and by doing so enhance our 

collective well-being.  In 2008 we moved to larger facilities at the Ottawa Citizen 

Building. In 2009 Spiritual Frontiers Canada graciously agreed to co-sponsor 

monthly gatherings at no financial cost to participants.   

“Wellness” and “Well-being” 

A fellow filled with passion for the truth phoned me in May 2009. A straight 

shooter, he summarily challenged my use of the word of “Wellness” telling me in 

no uncertain terms that the word does not exist in the dictionary.  And to use that 

in a business name like “Wellness and Transformation” did nothing for 

credibility….  I thanked him for sharing and he hung up.  The beauty of that 

moment is that for clarity through objective sources (I hope you are curious too), 

I went on to online dictionaries and this is what I found for “Wellness” and “Well- 

being:” 

wellness - a healthy state of wellbeing free from disease…. (Source: 

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/wellness) 

wellness 

the quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively sought 

goal <wellness clinics> <lifestyles that promote wellness> (Source: 

http://dev.m-w.com/dictionary/wellness) 

well-being - a contented state of being happy and healthy and 

prosperous; "the town was finally on the upbeat after our recent 

troubles" (Source: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/well-being) 

well-being 

Date:1582 

: the state of being happy, healthy, or prosperous : welfare 

(Source: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/well-being) 

My interpretation is that “Well-being” is an end-state and holds the bigger 

picture of what we are asking for, while “Wellness” encompasses strategies for 

restoring and maintaining good health. 

“Balance” 

Depending on the events in our lives, at any moment we can go into imbalance 

AND go back into what people call “equilibrium.”    It’s as simple as being thirsty 

and then drinking clean, fresh, spring water.  Our bodies and our minds tell us so.   

“Balancing” 

Final 10.04.21

The root of “economics” is the prudent management of resources and to me it has 

special significance for our health (wellness) and well-being, an often overlooked 

aspect seemingly taken for granted especially in the workplace and in 

negotiations for conflict transformation.   

We all have “surpluses” and “deficits” in our body/mind resources of energy and 

health.  We can transform these energetic resources. We can choose to exchange 

information and energetic surpluses to fill our deficits, whether it be hands-on 

and hands-free healing modalities, or compassionate active listening.  We can do 

this alone, and with others.  And we can further enhance new aspects of our 

strengths. 

Where “wellness” is reaching optimal health, the essence of well-being is about 

“balancing” our needs.  On one hand we have basic needs of space, temperature, 

air, water, food, shelter.  Beyond that we have relationship needs simplified by 

Vern Redekop into six deep-rooted human identity needs:  Meaning, Action, 

Recognition, Connection, Security and Sense of Self.  Balancing for ultimate 

“equilibrium” for individuals as well as nations means, in even simpler terms, we 

need to remember love AND universal peace…in short, co-creating heaven on 

earth. 

Time to Balance 

Balancing may have instant results, and may take longer duration.  In the life we 

live in, the duration depends…on a lot of variables.   

When thirsty, drink.  When hungry, eat. When tired, sleep.  When unwell, we 

seek answers.  All these take various amounts of time.    

It depends…. after extraction a part of an extracted splinter was left under my 

skin in my index finger.  I had sustained discomfort for as long as it was there.  

The finger quickly and fully healed itself after the last bit was removed.   The 

healing took three days, more time than the moment it took for me get the 

splinter removed, yet less time that the period of discomfort (a week) with the 

remaining bit in my finger.  So it depends on the variables, such as detoxifying 

capacity of the subject, and the intention of the person doing the task.  When we 

are ready… 

Expanding Consciousness 

Living a theory may not be the easiest thing to do…like in the BIG scheme of 

things, good and bad moments shall pass. Like a pendulum going back and forth 

between polarities, there is in one aspect a net balance whereby good and bad 

cancell each other out.  While in transition, another aspect is when we arrive at 

the balance midpoint between polarities, it is very easy for us to remember 

“Universal Oneness” when everything is precious, is of equal value and is 

irrelevant, all at the same time.   

Participating in Community 

o Are you in situations that you have not yet been able to resolve by 

yourself?    

o Despite various degrees of skepticism in small or large measure, are you 

open to the possibility that another person might be the one to gently 

accelerate your re-balancing?  As simply as through compassionate 

listening? 

o Have you taken a workshop or course and could use some practice with 

your new skills and/or would like to practise listening with empathy? 

o Are you a facilitator in training and looking to complete case studies? 

o Are you a professional who wishes to expand your practice through word 

of mouth testimonials? 

 Sharing and Receiving in Circle 

 In an opening circle we explain how the Exchange is based on honouring other 

individuals’ gifts and situations, on interacting with other participants as equals 

in a life-enhancing positive manner, and realizing that any balancing process or 

tool can work for many at their matching frequency level.  Miracles are never 

guaranteed.  We do acknowledge they may happen, and welcome when they 

happen (shift happens!)   

 For clarity and understanding, we ask participants and guests to state their offer 

and request two times.  We then mingle and match with others for one on one, 

one to many, and many to one balance exchanges.  We often have two or more 

exchanges in an evening. 

 We also announce the upcoming events of the next two months, hosted by 

Spiritual Frontiers Canada (SFC). 

At the Energy Balance Exchange evenings, we save time, money and feel good. 

Exchanges are simple AND profound at a personal level. Be prepared for an 

evening of universal peace, healing and …good surprises.

 How long do the benefits last? 

 Explore what works for you.  A few answers I have heard, which each have 

some truth in them are: 

o It lasts as long as it lasts (for example, a meal lasts until you get 

hungry again.  And lasting balancing may be dependent on 

sustained good nutrition to maintain equilibrium. Body and 

blood chemistry balance is very important to stay in balance.) 

o It is permanent for the aspect you have addressed. For example, 

fear of swimming in a pool might be balanced out, yet when 

changing the aspect like swimming in a murky river where one 

received an initial trauma, another balance might be required.
