Learn to Overcome ALL Negative Energies! (Free)
As some of you know from the energy-images that used to be around me, I and people who took those images seriously started experiencing heavy negative energies that brought crazy people around us, and ruined our health, as well!
SOLUTION:
After 20 years of research and visiting 24 spiritual Masters around the world and practising all kinds of cures and rituals, finally a spiritual grandmaster recently taught me the solutions, so that I too share it with you to protect us all. On my page (it’s a free website) You Can Learn To Be Free From ALL negative Energies & Their Causes, Forever!Whatever you do, if you saw or heard of those negative energy-images, don’t take them as real, or by obeying negative energies, you will surrender to them which will cause you endless life barriers, incurable diseases, and the energy-images around you to gather desperate crazy people around you, and harm your health as well, as it had happened for me!
Obviously, knowing the energy images were harmful energy, any smart person by now knows, what people who have known me for life know, that opposite to what the energies tried to show, - I deal with respectful people Only. Also that I have always been monogamous heterosexual; and since 2004 I have been a celibate monk. Period!
On my website, please read ‘Defeat All Negative Energies’ Page, and When You Like It, Share It With Your Family And Friends, Too, To Teach Them How To Be Protected Against ALL Negative Energies and Their Causes. You can see my free website at: sites.google.com/view/blessings77 or click on 'Visit Website,' to your right, under my name.

Background:
I strongly believe we really need to talk about YOU, not me, because it is you, your passion for the game, your desire to work and learn, and your determination to reach your goals that will shape our path! Let's keep that for our first meeting, and here please allow me to introduce myself: My name is Joy, a dentist, chess author, international chess player and instructor, certified by World Chess Federation "FIDE", and the owner/director of The King’s Gambit Chess Academy Inc., located in Montreal, where students of all ages and skills from all 10 provinces and 3 territories of Canada, China / Hong Kong, USA, Mexico, Australia, and Iceland study, practice, and enjoy chess! I have vast experience of 39 years playing chess since childhood, and 28 years teaching it. Having passed this long road helps me deal with players of all ages, levels, and potential.Methodology:
Chess is the most beautiful game in the world, a magical combination of the logic of science, the beauty of art and the charm of history! We will explore this magical world from all angles, by studying the science of chess (openings - middle games - final games - tactics - strategy - positional pressure...etc.) in a very academic way, enjoying the art and absolute beauty where the entertainment and the fun are, and telling historical facts and amazing stories about great champions - some of those stories were told to me by the living legends themselves - while analyzing the games related to those tales, to draw inspiration from the legends of the ancient royal game, from Philidor to Carlsen! All of this will be in interactive lessons designed to suit each trainee's style, strengths, abilities and even personality. The tools will be the most modern, high-end, and advanced chess software, databases, and platforms in the world.CV:
1- Owner/Director of The King’s Gambit Chess Academy Inc. since February 2021. Academy students managed to win several tournaments in Canada and the United States.2- The personal trainer of the 2023 Canadian Junior Chess Champion
3- Online chess instructor and consultant since June 2020, at two of Canada's most reputable learning institutes.
4- Online personal trainer for players from all around Canada, China / Hong Kong, USA, Mexico, Australia, and Iceland since my arrival to Canada in mid-2019.
5- Author of several chess articles, some of which were recently published in the official magazine of the Quebec Chess Federation.
6- An international chess trainer certified by the World Chess Federation (FIDE) since April 2016.
7- Shared 3rd place in the World Amateur Chess Championship - Romania 2013 (I was advised to participate in the tournament by Super GM Peter Leko, based on his belief that I was a serious contender for the title).
8- Sole 2nd place in the Blitz section of the World Amateur Chess Championship - Romania 2013.
9- Shared 2nd place in UAE Grand Prix 2011 behind IM Fouad Al Taher but ahead of GM Sergey Kayumov among others. I was among only 12 finalists who qualified out of hundreds of participants after 9 months of preliminary stages.
10- 4th place in Ramadan Blitz Tournament 2010 Ahead of 4 GMs, 5 IMs, 2 FMs, 1 WFM and many international rated players.
11- Trainer of U14-U12-U10-U8 players in Abu Dhabi Chess Club 2010-2011. My players made considerable progress within the first 4 months.
12- The reigning Correspondence Chess champion of my country of origin.

These Miraculous Herbal Cures Must Be Used ONLY Under Supervision of A Registered Physician:
* Aloe Vera concentrate / extract Keeps the entire body system pure, removes chances of cancer, & is known to kill advanced cancer within 2-3 months. It removes many ailments as it purifies the body systems whose blockages cause most illnesses.
Dosage:
For cancer/disease prevention, mix 1/2 cap-full of the concentrate, in 1/2 cup of water & drink after dinner. For those who want to kill cancer, Under Supervision of Your Physician, use the same amount also after breakfast.
MOST IMPORTANT: This product is Aloe Vera Concentrate, not Aloe Vera juice. In North America many people in natural medicine field know it as the 'cancer eraser.' As far as I know, Aloe Vera Concentrate is produced only by Herbalife (with agents/sellers in every country).
* We can never replace Aloe Vera concentrate with Aloe Vera juice. They have VERY DIFFERENT effects.
* Refrigerate after opening the bottle.
....................ENZYME THERAPY
To keep all organs in healthy shape, young human bodies naturally produce waste-removers (called systemic enzymes) that amongst other functions dissolve dead cells so that they can be removed by the blood flow. In most people today, the production of these enzymes stops sometime between the age 30 and 50. That is when our bodies start to get the illnesses, chronic or extreme pains we would have never gotten when younger. Systemic Enzyme Therapy is a new allopathic medical treatment that started in Europe and Is Now Spreading Across the globe, curing many ailments & chronic pains, just by purifying the body from dead stuck cells.
THESE ENZYMES WE CAN FIND:
BROMELAIN & SERRAPEPTASE ARE THE TWO MAIN ENZYMES THAT HELP MANY, and you can buy them from most vitamin stores. In Some Cases people's health returns much faster when using MORINGA LEAF POWDER (also found at vitamin stores on & offline), FRESH GINGER or TURMERIC.
MORINGA: use a coffee spoon in a glass of cool or lukewarm water. Do this twice daily. Try and choose the best time to take this, - after eating or on empty stomach.
FRESH GINGER: Freshness is the key. Dry or powdered ginger (even after its soaked in water) does not work. Daily, grate 1 inch of (the average ginger root) fresh ginger. Save it in a tiny plastic container with least exposure to air (you can add water to reduce oxygen exposure). Have 1/3 of it with 1/2 to 1 cup of water, after each meal.
ADD TURMERIC TO THE GINGER: Many find much greater effects, when they use ginger (as described above) with the same amount (1 inch of length) of fresh turmeric (often found at natural food stores).BALANCE YOUR GINGER. Some people believe ginger produces too much heat in their body, if you are one of them, you can neutralize that extra heat by eating a bit of something cooling like water melon, cucumber, apricot, peach, … (for this purpose, avoid the food with high vitamin C, for that kills the enzymes in ginger).

REGISTER HERE: https://edensgate.ca/landing/trauma-to-transformation-free-workshop
Everything you need to transform your life is already within.
Ever since you were born, you've been constructing a version of yourself that has simultaneously been trying to keep you safe while keeping you trapped. Every trauma (whether big or small) at every age and stage of your life has triggered the development of specific limiting beliefs which serve only to keep you repeating the same patterns, over and over again, out of fear. Over time, they have come to form a large part of your identity, your ego, and it's this which - time and time again - resists the change and transformation you both desire and deserve.
But there is a way to beat the ego and beat the trauma at their own game, and that's by recognizing what they can do to propel you forward. You see, the clues to your own healing, transformation, and personal and spiritual development rest in the traumas themselves, specifically, when they happened to you (your age), and all of the limiting beliefs and behaviours that they sparked and which prevent you from moving forward in whatever direction you desire to go. We will introduce you to Life Cycling, which is our unique transformational modality that blends spirituality, personal development, and mind-body exercises to help people overcome life's biggest obstacle - themselves.
In this workshop, you will learn how to do a rigorous personal inventory of the past AND present, engineer both your healing and personal development through powerful spiritual practices, and set a course that will lead you to not just change, but complete transformation, based on what it is you want to achieve.
WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?
In short, anyone who wants to...- LET GO of a bad habit
- replace being STUCK with being FREE
- stop spiraling DOWN and start spiraling UP
- STOP breaking promises to themselves
- make LASTING, TRANSFORMATIVE change (the kind that makes everyone wonder, "what the heck happened to them?")
- give themself a life they DESERVE (your very best life)
- replace FEAR with unmatched SELF-LOVE and CONFIDENCEWHAT DO YOU GET?
- Course workbook and all materials provided
- Free gift
- Refreshments
- Support and connection with a small group (only 10 participants per session)
- ANYTIME support following the workshop
- Access to private Facebook group
- Reduced, lifetime rates for group & one-on-one coaching and future workshop/course offeringsWHEN AND WHERE IS THE WORKSHOP?
We will be running TWO in-person sessions at the Sooke Community Hall conference room (2037 Shields Rd, Sooke, BC) at the following dates/times:- Saturday, March 9, 2024 (10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.) - NOW FULL
- Saturday, March 23, 2024 (10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.) - Filling up FASTThere will only be space for ten participants in each session.

NOTICE to PUBLIC
Learn to Protect Yourself Against Negative Energy and Black Magic! (Free read)As some of you know from the curse-images that used to be around me, I and people who took those curse-images seriously were under attack by sorcerers whose curses block all aspects of one’s life by displaying to the world, the exact opposite of who people are, to get them opposed or attacked by the desperate people!
SOLUTION:
A spiritual grandmaster recently taught me the solutions, so that I too share it with you to protect us all. On my page You Too Can Learn To Be Free From All negative energies & all black magic, Forever!Whatever you do, if you saw or heard of those curse-negative images around me, don’t take them as real, or by falling for the sorcerers’ trick, you will surrender to their curses that will give you endless life barriers, incurable diseases, and the curse-images around you to make the desperate people of the world oppose or attack you!

Have you been feeling not quite in flow lately...?
Perhaps this is time for you to dance and reclaim your spark and sparkle...?
2024 is YOUR year to spark your inner OOMPH and FREEDOM through the chakra system and be:
Grounded.
Sensuous.
Invigorated.
Heartful.
Expressive.
Receptive.
Guided.
If any of the above feel like they are blocked to you right now, see them come to life in nine weeks. You literally can see the progression and how this ripples into all aspects of your life.
So what is Chakradance?
It is a...
Fusion of dance, mandala art, meditation and vibrationally attuned music that will heal and reveal for you whatever you seek.
Modality based on Jungian Psychology (see chakradance.com for more of its essence)
Embodied practice that has you work with each of your energy centers through movement.
Deep dive into your sacred spirituality and your inner wisdom.
Gentle movement tool to help you unblock aspects of yourself and gives you permission to heal and find greater happiness in your life.
The FREEDOM Program Is 9-Weeks:
Wednesday evenings 5:30pm - 6:30pm, January 24th through March 20th at the First Unitarian Church on West Saanich Road. The Sanctuary Room is our sacred space to dance!
Some Key Aspects:
We are two certified Chakradance Facilitators and friends: Gillian Scadeng and Maureen Nowicki
No dance experience necessary. We just ask that you are over 18.
We supply all materials. Just bring a cushion for your comfort and enjoyment. If you need a chair we can supply this for you.
Chakradance curious? Discover your spark again for only $20.00 for the Introductory Workshop on Jan. 24th. We will briefly move through each of the 7 chakras in the Intro Workshop.
Early bird pricing is now available to dance the entire nine-week series.
Follow this link to pre-register:
https://buytickets.at/theconsciousvessel/1064895We look forward to meeting you. This is going to be a wonderful 2024 for you to reclaim your sparkle, your OOMPH, your sacred destiny.

Join us at St Mary’s for a unique blend of exceptional jazz rooted in the context of meditation and prayer. This evening's music will be provided by The Maria Manna Trio. 1701 Elgin Road, Oak Bay.
Evolving out of two ancient services of prayer as the sun is setting—vespers and compline—the service of Evensong is an opportunity to put the events of the past day into perspective, to ground one’s body, mind and spirit in preparation for the restorative night of sleep. Whether you are a seasoned jazz lover or a newcomer to the genre, you will be sure to enjoy this unique and moving experience. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this inspiring and intimate celebration of faith and music. All are welcome!
A collection will be taken in support of this ongoing series.

She has performed with several legendary artists, including Tommy Banks, David Foster, Alfie Zappacosta, and Paul Horn. She is the producer and performer of "Ladies of Jazz, Blues, and Gospel.

She has received several awards for her volunteer performances at numerous charity events, including the Governor General's Caring Canadian Award and the Sovereign's Medal.

If you’ve tried getting into running and ended up with injuries or a lack of motivation to keep going we have a free run group starting Saturday Jan 27 that will take you from not running at all to running 10K in time for the Times Colonist 10K on April 28, 2024
This is a non-competitive, inclusive, supportive group. All are welcome. If you have friends or family also interested, bring them along! All paces are welcome. We will make sure no one is left behind.
We’ll meet 3X a week. Locations will move around Victoria but for the first few weeks we’ll likely meet at Esquimalt Gorge Park off Tillicum. You don’t need to make all three runs in person, we’ll email the plan before each run so you can make it up on your own if that works better for you. Group runs will be Monday at 6pm, Thursday at 6pm (will be Wednesday at 6pm starting April) and Saturday at 8am. Initial runs are pretty short and will get longer as we progress. Practices will
run up until the Times Colonist 10K.For anyone that is already a runner that perhaps is fine running on their own during the week but wants some company for longer runs on the weekend to prep for a half marathon we will also have a group aiming for either the Oak Bay Half or North Olympic.
As mentioned, this group is completely free, you have nothing to lose! If you’d like to join or have questions just respond this post. This is a great way to kick off 2024!

Learn to Protect Yourself Against Negative Energy and Black Magic! (Free read)As some of you know from the strong curse-images that used to be around me for years, I and people who took those images seriously, were under attack by powerful Satanist sorcerers; - till a spiritual master recently taught me how to be protected, so that I too would share his knowledge with you to protect us all against the Satanists, black magicians and even negative energies. Here on my site, you too can learn to become Free from all negative energies and all black magic, forever! BEWARE that since I had no protection against their attacks for about two decades, the attacks' results altered some of my minor nerve functions and so sometimes the damaged nerves project a much weaker version of those curse-images. We are using Sister Shivani 's method, and somatic healing work to heal those nerves and finish the weak images as well. Whatever You Do, For Your Safety, Don’t Fall In The Trap Of Those Strong or Weak Curse-Images That The Satanists Had Put Around Me, For By Following The Sorcerers' Curse You Surrender Your Will To Their Trick And Fall Under Their Control!
