Oracle Card by Oriel Lux

CRYSTALS This beautiful card shows crystals encircling a mountain in the distance. The crystals draw our eyes and attention to it: it is the thing we focus on. In much the same way this card encourages us to use crystals to help us focus on the issues, questions, or clarifications we may have or want in our lives right now. Sitting quietly and using a crystal to connect, we can bring these areas into a much closer focus and so see them with greater clarity. Often noise (whether internal or external) is distracting, making it challenging to see things clearly. Nature has generously provided us with tools to help! By connecting with our crystals, we connect with the energy of nature, and it is this energy that helps us to focus, not the crystals per se.

Soul Verse Poem by Sue Penney

MOTIVATIONAL The quality of your life you’ll find Is all tied up within your mind If you dwell on thoughts of woe Then downwards will your spirit go Instead look up and see the sky Open up your eyes, here’s why There’s so much to be grateful for So show that gloom and doom the door Emotion is but momentary Your feelings now not long will be If you feel down it will not last Just remember all things pass So if you’re searching for a way To make a start, get through your day Make a tiny step you’ll see How much better you can be Ask for help, don’t be afraid This way great friendships are made Start small, and celebrate each day Each achievement in a simple way And soon you will look back impressed At just how far you have progressed From the smallest step you start To make the change and thrill your heart

Ritual - Spring/Summer Planting Intentions Spring and the beginning of Summer is the perfect time for this ritual as it is both physical and symbolic. You can sow real seeds along with the seeds of ideas or desires at the same time:

You will need: A packet of seeds (something you would like to grow, you could go as far as looking into the different symbolism of the correspondences of what you want to grow as a goal with the seeds of the plants. For example, a sunflower represents loyalty, love and longevity - this would be a great seed to plant if you are looking to attract a new romantic partner) A seed tray Some fine seed compost A watering can with a fine head so that you do not wash the seeds away A tealight candle in a fireproof bowl. A sage stick or your preferred way of cleansing your space, such as with a drum or bell

This ritual is best worked on the new moon or during the waxing moon up to the full moon.

The clear intention of what you want to achieve is written down on a piece of paper. 1. Cleanse your working area, whether this is outside or inside by smudging. 2. Ground & Centre yourself, stand up tall with your feet planted firmly on the ground and imagine you have golden roots growing down from your legs and feet, deep into the soil and tying themselves strongly around a large crystal at the centre of the earth. 3. Take 3 deep long and slow breaths. 4. Call on the power of the Universe to be with you as you complete your ritual. 5. Holding the intentions in your hand, read them out aloud. Make sure that they are written as if they have already been achieved. For example, I am in a wonderful relationship with my ideal partner and am completely fulfilled and happy. 6. Fill your seed tray with a little soil, light the candle and then you can burn the words in the fireproof bowl. 7. Add the ashes of the intention to the soil and mix in, adding more soil if required. 8. Plant your seeds and say the words: As these seeds do start to grow Take my dreams and make them so Each time I do tend and care Listen angels hear my prayer 9. Envision your Intentions Being Delivered to You.

Crystal Insights May Rose Quartz has been used since ancient times for promoting beauty, right up to the present day where now you can purchase rose quartz face massaging rollers as part of your beauty regime. Rose quartz is known as the stone of unconditional love or love stone and is very good for healing issues with the physical heart and the heart chakra, such as heartbreak or heartache and loss. It emanates the feminine energies of love, calm, peace and serenity and is good to have in your house to bring about harmonious interactions with the people in your household. Rose quartz ultimately helps you to give and receive love unconditionally and strongly assists anyone with the healing of past traumas and childhood abuse, making it an important crystal to work with when going through any kind of cognitive therapy, to help calm and balance your emotions as they arise and help bring you to a place of self-forgiveness, acceptance, and self-love above all else. The channelled message I got from Rose Quartz is… “Softly, softly I come to thee with my healing divine feminine energies, to soothe, hear and witness you from any trauma’s life has put you through, for healing of the heart and mind is what I can impart and any emotional imbalances that unsettle your faculties, I come to gently bring you love and fill the gaps left untouched, for I will help to empower you to rise and love the real you, softly, softly I will come, allow me in so mote this healing to be done” Goddesses/Gods/Angels: Rhiannon, Astarte, Venus, and Kerridwin Gods: Angus óg, The Horned God, Ariel, Genial, Haniel

June Golden Tigers Eye contains crocidolite fibres, a type of asbestos, however, it is firmly fixed into the quartz when tumbled so can be handled safely - not if in its rough form. The energies of the tiger’s eye are not recommended to be worn for a long length of time as a pendent, due to the intense nature of its energies. Golden Tigers Eye has a strong steady, positive hot, male energy. It reflects away any negative energy, protecting the person or wearer of it. Golden Tigers Eye also disperses blockages and any negative patterns in the person. It soothes the solar plexus to support people with nervous disorders or depression by releasing negative thought patterns that are locked in the body, replacing them with confidence and self-belief. It can be used for drawing in the energies of abundance, positivity, and good energy. This is a very good stone for connecting to the energies of Sun Gods or to have with you when doing any divination work. The channelled message I got from Golden Tigers Eye is… "Strong is my energies to support you with the limits imposed by you or your lineage. If you are ready to journey through and break the patterns no good for you then I will give you all the courage and strength you need to reinvent yourself while keeping you safe til you truly believe in yourself again”. Goddesses/Gods/Angels: Sun Gods, Lugh, Ra, Persephone, Sekhmet, Bast, Angle Verchiel, Ananchel, Risnuch.

Pagan celebrations Beltain - May Day We now find ourselves at the season of Beltain, the Celtic Spring Cross-Quarter Fire Festival. The celebrations begin at moonrise on Beltain Eve (30th of April) whereby the sacred union between the young Horned God now at his peak of manhood, and the Goddess full of life-giving fertility meet, go into the woods and lie together amongst the wildflowers and trees intimately entwined together till dawn co-creating new life. They then emerge from the woods on the morning of Beltain (1st of May) as the Queen and King of May, announcing the celebrations for the “Merry Month of May” and the combining of the feminine and masculine energies of abundance, fertility and the birth of the summer and autumnal fruits to come. For now, the days are getting longer, and the sunshine is getting warmer. The air becomes thickly filled with the sweet scent of flowers that are blooming. Nature comes alive, the animals and birds begin to mate and make their homes and the cycle of life continues to spin. Though this is a festival celebrating sacred union, intimacy, and love with another, for me it is also about finding, healing and celebrating myself too, as if I cannot know, love and accept myself for who I am then how can I expect anyone else to? Beltain was and still is a popular time for couples to take their vows and commitments to one another in handfasting ceremonies (Pagan weddings). I am available for Handfasting and other rites of passage ceremonies.

Litha- Summer Solstice The Summer Solstice is known as Litha, Midsummer or the longest day. Summer Solstice 2022 in Northern Hemisphere will be at 10:13 on Tuesday, 21 June, when Mother Earths' north pole tilts close to the Sun God (also known in folklore as the Oak King) who now reaches his highest point in the sky in all his golden healing glory and in so doing makes it the day of the year with the most daylight or “Longest day”. Many people will gather in ritual again at the beautiful and magical stone circles around the country as our ancestors once did on the evening before the solstice, to greet, honour and celebrate the Sun God for all he does for us, such as warming our earth, bones and bodies, helping our crops to grow for a bountiful harvest and bringing the daylight to us every day. Still one of the most popular sights to go to is Stonehenge as the ropes that keep you at a distance from the ancient stones are taken down and Druids and pilgrims alike are welcomed without charge and to be close to the stones on this and winter solstice evening to see the rising sun. I have been lucky enough to go and physically touch the stones and deeply connect, however it does get extremely packed with people who have different ways of celebrating, it can get quite lively and noisy.

You could visit other stone circles Avebury: Stone Circles and Henge in Marlborough, Wiltshire Castlerigg: Stone Circle in the Lake District National Park is thought to be one of the earliest circles dating back to 3000BC during the Neolithic period. Boscawen-Un Stone Circle in St Buryan, Cornwall Beaghmore: Stone Circles in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland The 12 Apostles: In Scotland near Dumfries. The largest stone circle in mainland Scotland.

HO'OPONOPONO "I love you, I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you"

The wonderful Ho'oponopono mantra helps with mental cleansing. It is known to set things right through prayer. As you chant it over and over again, you go through a cleansing process: Discussion - Confession Repentance - Mutual Surrender - Forgiveness Dr Ihaleakala Hew Len used this ancient Ho'oponopono mantra to help patients in a criminally insane Hawaii State Hospital with great results. The patients were 'mentally ill criminals'. The clinic was derelict and patients were threatening and often fighting. Due to the extremely harsh conditions, the staff turnover rate was high. Dr Hew Len arrived at the clinic as a clinical psychologist. He didn't see any of the patients face-to-face. Slowly but surely things began to change. Shackles were removed from extremely violent patients, medical drugs significantly reduced, and there was a waiting list of staff eager to work with him. Within the 4 years of Dr Hew Len's appointment, patients were released after making a full recovery and hence the clinic was closed down. What Dr Hew Len did was as he perused each patient's files, he would feel something within himself, maybe a pain or emotion, then he would use Ho'oponopono to heal himself. When you repeat this mantra you are engaging with the enormous power of the Cosmos to support you saying sorry for whatever is going on inside of you and asking for forgiveness transforming the energies, changing the conscious level back to the original one of love Give it a go, spend some time every day chanting the four sentences to yourself, see the changes happen from within.

"I love you, I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you"

Choose a monthly Archangel Carol Coggan

What a glorious 2022! How is your year going? early in the year, we focused on our vision and in March/April we considered an Archangel each month. March and April are very much months of new growth and spring cleaning. What do the months of May and June mean to you? If you have a think about all the months of the year, there will be a significant event, feeling or attitude that you link specifically with the month. Like April for me, was my birthday and Easter, so lots of celebrations, joy and happiness. This goes alongside the new spring growth that is happening in nature; the seasons affect us all.

Just as we paused in May and for me it was to pause and look at the cherry tree, so we can pause in June, as we are still moving forward in the direction of our dream. June 21 is the longest day. Although every day is 24 hours long, the longest day seems to give us so much more time. It enables us to reflect on how we are using our time. Are we full spectrum in terms of work, rest and play? Do you do anything special on the longest day? do you mark it in any way? I always like to be on the coast to watch the sunset really late in the sky. This enables me to pause rather than to be “full of busyness”. I am going to ask Archangel Metatron to help me in June. You may have heard of Metatron‘s cube, he uses “sacred geometry“, his healing cube to purify the energy of your body, mind and emotions. You can call upon him to help clear you at any time. His aura is deep pink and dark green. He also helps you align, and helps you ground. If you work with highly sensitive children who are possibly misunderstood because of their spiritual gifts, ask Archangel Metatron. Using his sacred geometry, Archangel Metatron works with the energies of the universe and can bend time and space. I ask him for help throughout the year, and in June when we have longer days and seem to have more time, I ask him to bend it. He will help you get done all you need to get done/busy without the feeling of being overwhelmed. He will help you arrive on time for appointments, without speeding. You will often see all the traffic lights operate in your favour.

Have a think about these two months, May and June for you. Seasonally it is the start of the summer months, and we often hear of “flaming June“. We also have another equinox in June, the 21st, the longest day. May for me is the start of summer, the cherry blossom all emerging along with the other flowers. Have you ever stood under a cherry tree, with the pink/white blossom and looked up through the tree to a clear blue sky. It’s a wonderful experience and one I was introduced to by a partially sighted relative. It is the time to just stop, pause, and appreciate colour and nature. You can then “zoom out“ to the bigger picture, the tree in its setting and continue with life. We are now ready to be active, and take big steps in the direction of our dream/vision. We are clear on where we are going, we have benefited from the new growth of spring, and now we are acting and manifesting all that we wish and dream. I am going to ask Archangel Gabriel to assist me this month to manifest my vision. Her aura is copper and she helps us in communication, but she also helps us with motivation, so as I move through May appreciating the beauty, I have Archangel Gabriel helping me with motivation, moving forward in those steps I want to take.

We always have our Angels and Guardian Angels with us, and we can call upon the Archangels at any time. You may feel that you have different priorities in these months and may call on alternative Archangels. The message is that they are there for you, but you have to ask, and then you will receive Angelic guidance for your highest good and always with love.

Channelling from the Goddess of Light Amerissis You are held and you are loved in unconditional truth by all the angelic and masterful realms as you are gifted this understanding of your true sovereignty, your soul sovereignty.

We are assisting in the awakening of the collective dream state, to bring humanity back to a more neutral and simplistic way of existence. I, Amerissis, are championing the collective healer light to embrace the neutrality and to help others to garner an understanding of the paradoxical nature in which we all live.

I am, I am, I am light. You are, you are, you are light.

No light can exist without dark, and no dark can exist without light, it is the same form of the same frequency, yet it exists in two different bands of vibration. To hold a neutral and fairer world, we must try to eliminate any programming we have endured and move away to a more quantum understanding of ourselves.

Collectively the earth is moving into 5D consciousness and that will take courage, as apathy is the greatest enemy to growth and to a firmer richer understanding of our place within the structure of the celestial world. Know, you are held within a sphere of deep protection, whilst the children of earth transit into a newer light. The event horizon of our mutual growth is interdependent on the fact that we are one, and that we are all an aspect of each other.

You all hold the true elixir of truth light within the soul, yet our world is trying to enforce a one size fits all algorithm that is now showing itself as outmoded and outdated.

I, Amerissis, hold great dignity and honour for the struggle of humanity at this time, but remembering our past and our lost gifts will help us all transit into the new era with a profound understanding of not only who we are, but what we are, and what we owe to each other, will hold a much deeper significance going forward.

Much light and hope exist for us all, and as we move into the galactic centre, we can truly harness the strong arcane frequency band that Gaia is moving through. All eons of time and the procession of the equinoxes bring forth huge change, these changes are upon us now, we can either recoil into fear or arise into this newer bolder energy.

Conduit closing.

I, Amerissis, have been assigned to assist with these powerful changes and to help distil this light into a practical way for us all to coexist in a gentler kinder and nonjudgemental way. Our world is one of infinite beauty, it is the teaching planet, and it is the envy of the universe. For allowing these great teachings, we must be ready to receive this new hermetic knowledge and allow the constrictions of the 3-dimensional mind to truly expand. Human to Humane, echo vibrations of the past to surface for great teachings that facilitate huge energetic shifts to bring us all a bit closer to the alignment of love and compassion.

Kathy has only ever been found via word of mouth, and her waiting list is over a year long. Kathy is an accomplished Aura Medium, Clairvoyant, Meditation Tutor - she specialises in Past Life Regression through shamanic healing and practices Metatronic Healing.

Leading with Love Rehumanising the Workplace As we emerge from the pandemic, many have begun to raise deep questions about their working life. People are seeking meaningful work where they are valued and respected rather than treated as a cog in a machine. Increasing numbers of people are seeking greater work-life balance and are realising that their levels of wellbeing are significantly affected by the working environment. They want managers and leaders who are approachable and trustworthy and who can act as mentors and coaches in the workplace. This book presents original research based on leaders who were nominated by their people for leading with love. It shows that leading with love is something that is practised by leaders who are more emotionally, morally, and spiritually mature. Leading with love is a sign of psychological maturity, whilst leading with fear is a sign of hindered emotional and spiritual development. Fusing the research with ancient spiritual wisdom, as well as the latest findings in developmental and transpersonal psychology, the book presents a simple framework to help leaders develop their psychological maturity and offers practices that will enable them to lead with love.

Reiki Seichem Symbols by Tammy, Akasha Spiritual Healing

Zonar symbol

Zonar is a beautiful symbol. The 3 concentric infinity symbols represent healing of past lives, karmic and inter-dimensional issues. Our cells carry trauma and painful memories from past lives which we now face in our current life. Zonar is used to release all the traumatic events at a cellular level. This symbol also has the power to heal and recalibrate DNA sequences. Zonar brings the memories to the conscious level before releasing them. It helps to get rid of addictions, break repeating patterns and eliminate toxic relations from our life. This symbol is also good for healing inner child issues as it helps release feelings of shame and unworthiness from the subconscious mind. Healing affirmation ‘’I am ready to release all that no longer serves me and heal for my highest good’’

'Forest Giant Troll' photo by John Sjovik

The sun was setting when I switched off the computer and turned off the lights in my office. The train station was only a twenty-minute walk away and I decided to take a small detour through a park on my way to the town centre. A woman was pushing a pram with a child happily looking around at the trees, at birds and people. An elderly man walked slowly on the gravel path, supporting himself on a well worn walking stick. A jogger passed me, quite oblivious to anything except for the music in his headphones and the rhythmic pounding of his feet on the ground.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS

There was a group of people in front of the City Hall, with placards, manifesting some cause. People hurried by, paying no attention to anything other than getting away from the cold January wind. Cafes were filling up and I saw two men enter the local pub. A mother and child left a small grocery shop with bags in their hands. A man stopped to light a cigarette. It was the 20th of January 2000 and everything looked as usual, like any other day in the town. However, it was far from a usual day, because my father had died in the early hours of the morning. My sister had called me just before lunch to give me the sad news. I had a business meeting in the afternoon and my visitors were on their way. So I pushed through, had my lunch, had the business meeting, took some notes and left the office. I was now standing in a market square in the heart of the town, in front of the old market hall. My vision was blurred because of tears in my eyes and I felt slightly dizzy. My father was dead. Everything in the town looked as usual. How could that be?

by John Sjovik, Shaman Healer 24

Death is a monumental, singular event. Many people choose to not even mention its existence. It is surrounded by taboos. It is the elephant in the room. Yet it is common knowledge to all of us. Most people have been touched by death in one way or another. It is remarkable, I think, that people are so reluctant to talk about such a natural phenomenon. People happily share news about births but seldom talk about deaths. One day all of us will rendezvous with it. It seems that beginnings are valued more than endings. Why is that? Is there more value in beginning something, than bringing it to a final conclusion? In my work in the corporate world, I have participated in many projects. Everybody wants to join the launch of a new project, attend the kick-off meeting and draw up plans. When the day comes to close the project, I have often found myself sitting in a small conference room with the project manager, the controller, the chief engineer and nobody else. In Shamanism, there is the concept of “the good death”. It is a celebration of a life lived with all its uniqueness, strivings and beauty. To ensure that the physical conclusion of a lifetime is as respectful and as free from anxiety and anguish as possible. To assist the soul to transition from this world to the great beyond, to the great mystery of the light on the other side of the bridge. We should celebrate that a soul has enjoyed the unique experience of having had a body and been able to sing, dance and love; having been able to take part fully in the experience of life on planet Earth, to participate, to contribute, to just be.

Some years ago, I passed by the National Theatre in Oslo, Norway. I happened to see a pigeon lying on the ground next to the building. It looked as if it was sleeping, peacefully and undisturbed. I thought that it must have died just a moment ago. The sight of the dead little pigeon in the centre of the big city moved me and I wanted to do something for it. So I walked up to it and stood near it. I held my hands towards it in a blessing. In my mind, I read a prayer for the safe passage of the pigeon’s soul to the next world. I invited my helping spirits to assist in that work. Then I visualized an angel folding its wings around the soul of the pigeon and carrying it up and away into the light. After a brief moment, the light faded away and the work was done. On the ground remained the body of the pigeon but its soul had transitioned beyond the veil. I said my thanks to my helping spirits and I continued walking to the bus station. As I was waiting for my bus, all of a sudden I noticed a tiny feather from a pigeon coming into view just in from of my face. It fell softly, quivered for a moment in mid air and was taken away by the wind. I had tears in my eyes and quietly said “you’re welcome”.

In the beginning of this year, the monk Thich Nhat Hanh passed away. He wrote: “I have never been born, And I have never died” This is a good reminder of the eternal nature of your soul, which is you. Birth and death are common to all living beings on the planet; be it human beings, animals or plants. They are part of the great mystery of the Cosmos and really beyond complete comprehension. A friend of mine has a young daughter, around 5 years old. She is preoccupied with trying to understand the big questions in life, such as Life and Death. Some time ago, she said to her father that she had come to the conclusion that when you are no longer alive, you are dead. So it follows that you are either alive or dead. It then follows that if she is dead when she is no longer alive, she must have been dead before she was born and became alive. So a person is dead, then alive, then dead, then alive and so on. By her own logic, she had discovered reincarnation. Children are amazing. Keep in mind that the concept of death is not only about physical death. In indigenous societies Rites Of Passage is an important life transition. Death & rebirth rituals, for example in puberty rites, the childhood identity dies and the child is reborn as an adult. In psychology, there is the concept of the death of the ego. In religion, there is the concept of being “born again” in the spirit, into a new belief.

I am reminded of a poem by Peter Handke and these words: “Wie kann es sein, das ich, der ich bin, Bevor ich wurde, nicht war, Und dass einmal ich, der ich bin, Nicht mehr der ich bin, sein werde” “How can it be that I, who I am Did not exist before I came to be, And that, someday, I, who I am Will no longer be, who I am”

As often is the case, questions seem to be more enlightening than answers. Who are you? Who were you before you became you? Who will you be, when you are no longer you? Are those proper questions? Or maybe “you” is not really relevant? Here is an exercise for you, with the help of a friend, a patient friend. Invite your friend over for a nice cup of tea and sandwiches. Then start the exercise by having him/her ask you this question: “Who are you?” The question should be put to you again and again and again. Force yourself to give quick answers. When you have moved beyond obvious answers such as your name, or “I am a person” or “I am my parent’s child”, you will have to abandon your ego and conscious mind and start digging into your subconscious and unconscious levels. After a while, with the continued effort of your friend to keep asking “Who are you?” and the eventual breakdown of your own resistance, something remarkable will slowly begin to happen. There will be an alchemical transmutation and you will hear yourself give answers of an esoteric nature, such as “I am light that dances with darkness” or “I am a memory that travels beyond the stars”. By the pure exhaustion of this exercise, you will move beyond the physical and come nearer to the spiritual, esoteric quality of life. A mirror's image is all I need To show the truth of who I am I hold the frame towards the sky The starry heavens can never lie A face appears, it is not me As I'd been taught that I'd appear The truth is there for all to see You need to dare the imagery Turn the corner to see the you And find the self that's really true

Do not fear death. It is as natural as birth. Both are portals between the physical and spiritual worlds. One cannot be without the other. Just like light and darkness. If we run away from darkness, we will never see the light. In the West, we need to find a new approach to Death. With the present situation, I feel that we no longer know how to live, because we have forgotten how to die.

For reading matter, there is a lot written on the subject. Here I will only mention one short text. It is an anthology of different Shamanic perspectives on how to aid a deceased person’s soul to move on to the next realm. It is called “Shaman Pathways, Deathwalking – Helping Them Cross The Bridge”, edited by Laura Perry. (Text copyright: Laura Perry 2017. Published by Moon Books 2018)

THE MIGHTY RIVER AND THE GRANDMOTHERS In the coming editions of Alchemical Voice we will cover the following chapters of the full story for our present times from tens of thousands of years ago PART 1: WALKING PART 2: THE MIGHTY RIVER PART 3: “THE GODS ARE PLAYING WITH US” PART 4: OUR MEDICINE MAN SPEAKS PART 5: THE EAGLE CALLS PART 6: “FOR THE SAKES OF OUR CHILDREN’S CHILDREN’S CHILDREN” PART 7: THE STICKS FOR THE GRANDMOTHERS PART 8: GOGOGAMA SPEAKS

PART 1: WALKING

These stories originated in a past life experience

A few hundred of us have been walking in our small kinship groups slowly and steadily along the coast. We forage on what shellfish we can find when the ocean is welcoming and abundant. At night, we walk a little inland and try to find some caves or good forest to hide in, posting sentries to listen out for the sabre-toothed lions. The rising sun leads us back to the seashore in the mornings. Sometimes the children go and splash in the waves and we tell them to be careful of the water goblins. Our ancestral lands have been flooded because our old leader did not make the right animal sacrifices to the gods of the seas. He was killed in the incoming waves. The waves left the land tasting of salt and most of the plants damaged. Many of the animals that we liked to catch fled to safer areas. Our new leader explained that this was a sign from the sea gods that we must leave our ancestral lands that had become dirty. We must follow the guidance of the seashore to new lands where the sun will turn to our left when rising out of his sea instead of turning to our right. Many of us thought that he was crazy to imagine such a thing as the Sun God taking a different path on his daily journey. But he was strong. His dancing and chanting to the spirits enabled us to find an old mammoth. It gave us meat for 5 days and nights. So we celebrated and thanked him and the spirits who protect us. And we agreed to follow his plan. By now we have walked through two rainy seasons and, to our amazement, we have begun to notice that the Sun God is traveling neither to the left nor to the right but coming straight over our heads. This makes the days very hot and we have to find shelter under the strange trees when the sun is right above us. Our leader, Kwekwe, quietly glows with confidence and that inspires us all even though many are becoming tired of the constant travel and walking. But then we reach a barrier which tests even Kwekwe.

PART 2: THE MIGHTY RIVER We come to a mighty river. It is a broad estuary and we cannot even see forests or mountains on the other side. There are many small islands and shallow streams as we approach it. A couple of the young strong warriors stride ahead with Kwekwe going from island to little island to look for a crossing point, but the main river flows too deep and powerfully. We decide to make camp and rest and stay until after the next rainy season when perhaps the river will be slower and shallower. The older women and men are very glad of the opportunity to rest and make our makeshift shelters on the little islands. Between us, we occupy about 20 islands, each with a kinship group of 15 – 30 men, women and children. The hunters soon come back with animals for food. I join them over the next weeks and, in time, three wildebeest hides make enough shelter for me, my wife and my three kids when we sleep huddled together in the arms of the night watched by the Moon Goddess. A group of elders reserve one island in the midst of the others as the meeting place. It is the only island with a glee-glee tree. And there are plentiful scrum-scrum bushes. Only our medicine man, Oo-oowarawara, lives there. Some of the younger adults are scared of him, especially when he covers his face and body with mud and makes strange noises. Some older women mock him as he has never shown any interest in them. The older men smile and tell the young ones: “Oh, he’s harmless and sometimes he does speak with the voice of our ancestor spirits. He really knows what herbs heal a cut. And he is the best snake-catcher in our tribe.” Every evening before dusk a group of elders gathers to chew glee-glee leaves. Some join the medicine man in banging sticks and making animal noises to call in the spirits and ask for their welcome to this land and for guidance on how to live, forage and hunt here. Tonight, I have gathered with them. I am not yet a full elder but am welcomed when spirit calls me. Kwekwe is already there. He always takes part in our ceremonies, but he often leaves the talking and leaf-chewing to the older men and women. He can get impatient, especially when they talk at length about the old days. Kwekwe is always looking to the future. Some call him a “time spirit”.

Do you know what a "time spirit" is? Will the narrator’s people find a way to overcome the challenge of the River God? Read "Part 3: The gods are playing with us" and "Part 4: Our Medicine Man Speaks" in July/August edition.

The Healing Power of Plants

Ayahuasca a spiritually medicinal plant

by Meryl McArthur Crystal Cave, Winchester For thousands of years, Indigenous people have made extensive use of the materials contained in the Rainforest to meet their health needs. Forest dwellers in Southeast Asia, for example, use around 6,500 different plants to treat their ills. Shamans were the first medical specialists in indigenous communities and their traditional methods are known to be effective in treating both physical and psychological ailments. The World Health Organisation estimates that 80 per cent of the people in developing countries still rely on traditional medicine for their primary health care needs. Without money, access to, or faith in modern facilities, Indigenous people depend on Shamans, herbal healers, and rainforest plants for their survival. Shamans also play a crucial role in helping scientists to discover the potential of plants. As one scientist said, “Each time a medicine man dies, it is as if a library has been burned down”. There is much yet to be learned from local Shamans, yet their individual and cultural survival is seriously threatened by modern loggers, miners, multinational corporations, and landless farmers invading and decimating the Rain Forest.

The widespread destruction of tropical rainforest ecosystems and the consequent extinction of numerous plant and animal species is happening before we know even the most basic facts about what we are losing.

Covering only 6 per cent of the Earth’s surface tropical rain forests contain at least half of all species The abundant botanical resources of tropical forests have already provided tangible medical advances, yet only 1 per cent of the known plant and animal species have been thoroughly examined for their medicinal potentials. Approximately 7,000 medical compounds prescribed by Western doctors are derived from plants. For example, Madagascar’s rosy periwinkle (left) provides two important anti-tumour agents. Quinine is an aid in the cure of malaria, it is an alkaloid from the bark of the cinchona tree found in Latin America. Below is a photo of dried chinchona tree bark.

Fortunately, in the last couple of decades, there has been a renewed interest in herbal remedies, and more people are recognising the many benefits of using them to treat themselves and their families. When used with common sense, herbal remedies are a safe and effective form of home help. If we can treat colds, flu, or minor injuries in the early stages we can often prevent the development of something more serious and avoid using conventional drugs and their risk of side effects. I have grown my own herbs for many years and used them to help cure and prevent many ailments in my family and with my clients. Chamomile, lavender, rosemary, peppermint are just a few of the medicinal plants I grow. Whether made into balms or teas or added to food they make a wonderful way of healing and preventing everyday ailments. 31

Thyme Tea Thyme is excellent for treating chest infections and coughs. 25g fresh Thyme 1 pint boiling water Honey Mix all the above ingredients. Allow to infuse for 5-10 mins.

Basil Water Basil relieves nausea and is known to have mild antiseptic properties. 1 large sprig of Basil 1/2 pint of boiling water Fresh orange juice Mix all ingredients together and stir well.

IS WHEAT THE FOOD THAT MAKES US ILL? Martin Lewis, Kinesiologist

Epigenetic factors in health and healing However, it is true that we do inherit traits from our family line, on an energetic level, and these inherited traits can and do indeed cause energy imbalances in the body, which may cause dis-ease to manifest.

What we eat and what we are exposed to in our environment (and that includes how we treat ourselves and are treated by others) directly affects our DNA and its expression. These ‘epigenetic factors' create, and are influenced by the presence or absence of key nutrients in the diet, as well as exposures to chemicals, pathogens, emotional and energetic stress and other environmental influences.

Emotional distress and subsequent nutritional deficiencies of minerals and vitamins in the womb, or early in life, may also ‘trigger' the faulty expression or folding patterns of genes, which might otherwise have avoided epigenetic activation.

Despite common misconceptions, so-called ‘genetic’ diseases, are exceedingly rare. The ‘holy grail’ of biology has now been well and truly usurped by the new paradigm that states that epigenetic factors (literally: ‘beyond the control of the gene’) are primary in determining how DNA is interpreted, translated and expressed as illness and disease in the body. It is probable that only 1% of all dis-ease can be labelled as ‘true genetic inheritance’. Hence it is no longer accurate to say that our genes ‘cause’ dis-ease.

The implications of these findings are rather remarkable, in that epigenetic and not genetic factors are primary in determining disease outcome. In general, it is inaccurate to blame our DNA for causing disease. Rather, it appears to have more to do with what we choose to expose our DNA to, our diet being a significant factor.

WHEAT - THE FOOD THAT 'GENETICALLY MODIFIES’ US?

Within the scope of this new perspective, even classical monogenic dis-eases like cystic fibrosis (CF) can be reversed. In CF many of the adverse changes that result from the defective expression has been shown to undergo partial or full correction (in the rodent model) when exposed to the phytochemicals found in turmeric, cayenne pepper, and soya.

In western civilisation, wheat is the most common grain in most people's diets. Not only does it have addictive qualities (it literally ‘satisfies and fulfils us’), but it also promotes weight gain, and can cause ‘wheat intolerance’.

An example of ‘wheat intolerance’ would be the relatively common condition labelled ‘IBS’. If we view this problem not as an unhealthy response to a healthy food, but as a healthy response to an unhealthy food, the classic symptoms like pain, bloating and diarrhoea may make more sense. Diarrhoea is one way that your body chooses to reduce the duration of exposure to a toxin or pathogen, and that ‘villous atrophy’ (that is the reduction of the villi in the small intestine) can be the body’s way of preventing the poisonous lectin in wheat, WGA - (wheat germ agglutinin) entering into the bloodstream. Of the four sources of gluten, WGA is the most problematic.

This correlation would fly in the face of global beliefs and assumptions about the inherent benefits of wheat consumption. So………..when it comes to health, we need to take a closer look at the labels on food products that we buy and consume, and certainly, we need to study what is on the end of our forks.

Other foods that contain varying proportions of agglutinin are: rye, barley, triticale (a hybrid of wheat and rye), seitan (often used as a meat substitute) and wheat varieties and derivatives, such as spelt, durum, couscous, semolina, farina, bulgur, wheat bran, wheat starch, and wheat germ. It is, therefore, possible that the set of symptoms that we label ‘IBS’ actually represent an extreme reaction to wheat, a reaction that we all share in varying degrees. Within this view IBS could be seen as a protective (and therefore a healthy) response due to the exposure to an inappropriate substance, that could potentially create genetic issues later on. Allergist David Freed has suggested that gluten can cause auto-immune system processes to occur in the glomerulus of the kidneys, in effect indicating that wheat consumption may lead to kidney damage in susceptible individuals. A study from the Mario Negri Institute in Milan published in 2007 looked at bread consumption and the risk of kidney cancer. They found that those who consumed the most bread had a 94% higher risk of developing kidney cancer compared to those who consumed the least bread. Given the inherently toxic effect that wheat germ agglutinin may have on kidney function, it is possible that (in certain pre-disposed individuals) the body, in its innate intelligence, makes an executive decision: either to continue allowing damage to the kidneys (or possibly other organs) until kidney failure and rapid death result, or launch an auto-immune attack on the villi to prevent the absorption of the offending substance which results in a prolonged, though relatively malnourished life. In effect, this action can be viewed as the body’s ‘survival strategy'. This may also be why the formation of mucous following exposure to certain highly allergenic or potentially toxic foods occurs. The mucous coats the offending substance, preventing its absorption and facilitating safe elimination via the gastrointestinal tract.

MARTIN LEWIS www.appliedmetaphysics.co.uk

Loss of kidney function may only be the ‘tip of the iceberg’ when it comes to the possible adverse effects that wheat lectin can generate in the body. If kidney cancer is a likely possibility, then other cancers may be linked to overconsumption of wheat as well!

'POWER VS FORCE' BY DR DAVID R HAWKINS by Julie de Vere Hunt

After many years of study, Dr Hawkins found that kinesiology, the study of muscle testing, revealed an amazing discovery. It provided a ‘wormhole’ between two universes – the physical world and the world of mind and spirit. It was an interface between dimensions. As a psychiatrist and spiritual seeker, he was particularly interested in the study of consciousness. He established a few core principles:Power is always manifested with grace. Grace is associated with modesty & humility. Love is more powerful than hatred; truth sets us free; forgiveness liberates both sides; unconditional love heals; courage empowers; and the essence of Divinity is peace. He found that levels of consciousness (energy fields) could be calibrated according to their measurable effect. With each rise in the level of consciousness, the ‘frequency/vibration’ of energy increases because higher consciousness radiates a beneficial effect on the whole world, verifiable in the human muscle response, which stays strong in the presence of love and truth. In contrast ‘false’ or negative energy fields induce a weak muscle response. He determined that human experience can be labelled on a scale from 1 – 1000 – a map of consciousness. At the low end of the scale are Guilt (30), Fear (100), Anger (150). Humans at these levels feel victimized and trapped by the effect of forces in the physical universe. All levels below 200 are described as “Force”, and are associated with a weak kinesiologicalresponse. All levels above 200 are described as “Power” and elicit a strong kinesiological response. Power is always manifested with grace. Grace is associated with humility. Higher on the scale are Courage (200), Willingness (310), Reason (400) & Love (500). Humans at these levels recognize that they are the source of their own lives. Most of the world’s great scientists (Newton, Freud) calibrate at 499, the highest level of intellect. Carl Jung calibrated at 540; he coined the term ‘collective unconsciousness’, a concept that transcends reason.

At the highest end of the scale (6001000) are qualities that transcend duality - ‘Enlightenment’ . The great prophets of human history – Jesus, Krishna and Buddha all calibrate on this scale at 1000. Their oral teachings all calibrated near 1000. Unfortunately, their message was recorded by followers lower on the scale; this explains the Holy Wars and the vengeful God from the Old Testament.

In Christian teachings, by the 2nd century the level of truth had dropped to 930 but by the 6th century it was at 540. The current King James version of the New Testament calibrates at 640. The recorded teachings of Buddha calibrate the highest ranging from 850 to 960.

I asked my kinesiologist, Martin Lewis, to test the overall truth of my books ‘Mary Magdalene’s Legacy’ and ‘Mary Magdalene’s Final Legacy’ – they both scored +700. According to Hawkins, in 2006 there were only three people on the planet who calibrated over 700. As at February 2022, there are currently 24 people alive today with a consciousness over 700. So despite the apparent chaos around us, we are spiritually evolving.. The gnostic gospels (Pistis Sophia) refer to ‘perfect souls’; a perfect soul can be defined as someone with a consciousness +700. According to the gnostic gospels, when we reach 360 perfect souls, humanity will ascend to the 5th dimension. My subconscious tells me this will happen within my lifetime…Alleluja! In the meantime, I leave you with a message from Dr Hawkins, “Be kind and forgiving to everything and everyone, including yourself, at all times, without exception”.

Kundalini is a term to describe the ultimate life force. It's a component of the spiritual awakening process. Through Kundalini yoga, you work to awaken and release that energy to bring you to your higher self. It is a self-will practice where you generate energy to align yourself to your potential. The kundalini energy sits at the base of your spine. This force and energy can be powerful to make things in your life flourish. Kundalini yoga works to ignite and release that energy by channelling it upwards through the chakras in the process of spiritual oneness and clarity. It is a rewarding practice that demands discipline and focus, which also makes it the perfect practice if you want to develop your meditation and spiritual practice.

A kundalini class is typically composed of three components; an opening chant that allows you to bring focus and tune in to your body and self. This is then followed by a kriya, ‘’an action’’. Practising a kriya initiates a sequence of physical and mental changes that can affect the body, mind, and spirit simultaneously. A kriya is a series of postures, breath, and sound that works toward a specific outcome. Specific bandhas (body locks) and mudras (hand gestures) are also applied during Kundalini yoga which heightens and deepens the experience. The class is then concluded by a closing meditation. It is encouraged in Kundalini yoga to wear white clothing. The colour white is considered to be cleansing, expanding the aura and guarding against negative energy. You may choose to wear a head covering as it is said to protect and contain the energy of the crown chakra. Because of the variety of practices included in a Kundalini class, particularly those that draw more upon the subtle body, this form of yoga can be practised by anyone no matter their age or physical fitness level.

Is Kundalini yoga practice for me? If you want to develop self-growth, increase your spiritual awareness or initiate a meditation practice then YES. It’s also a great way to develop your own meditation practice if you find you need to add a bit more structure or to utilise more breathing techniques.

The Awakening It is clear that with the Great Awakening there also comes greater conflict, disease and unrest. Battles and wars over land, cruelness to each other and in the name of justice and faith have marked our histories’ and mark them still. Can it be any other way? Must we forever despair for a time when it might be different; when the energies all balance, the clouds clear and we all finally recognise that we are all merely visitors here? We do not own this planet! To know this is to recognise that the world is not a place of hierarchies; where one group has more ‘rights’ than another – one species superior to another. When we can see that we are all one – connected through time, space and galaxies to every being, every animal, plant, tree and cell, we will then see that notion of ‘ownership’ is fruitless. It is this simple yet profound truth that will free us free us from the worries, fears and cares that preoccupy us and drag us down. This single, simple truth – is the Great Universal Truth: we are one, and that is all.
