amazing as well. However, for now she shares what she does in her spare time for those in homes. More of these facilities should be opening up to this kind of work. It will bring joy to those who most need it. Bea Potgieter’s contribution this month is something which will specifically talk to women—it is beautiful and written from the heart. A new contributor is Ash, and you will need to read her article ‘’Are you Living Life Close to the Marrow Lately?’‘ - another wow.
Dear readers,
Fiona van Rensburg continues where she left off and adds part two to her series of chapters she shares here with you.
We are halfway through 2016. I am shocked—yes shocked, somewhere I seem to have lost some time . Ok not really but I made a nice hash of things in May. I had my diary open on another week which is not unusual working in advance. As I am working on Life Coaching sessions with a colleague and we were trying to sort certain dates out. I managed to confuse the poor man greatly with regards to the days and dates—what fun it was to eventually realise that I had made a right mess of things. Yes it was fun to see his utter relief that it was I that was going a bit insane and not himself.
Tasty recipes—and of course all vegans will rejoice and be in their element, don’t forget to give feedback as to how you enjoyed these amazing dishes.
I deplore any act of violence as there is no need for it in modern society. And with that this month’s interview with Hayley Rautenbach lies very close to my heart. What an amazing women and I am incredibly blessed to count her amongst my friends. She has the most amazing spirit and thank goodness the presence of mind to push through the hardships of life. Through it all she still shines like a very bright morning star.
The travel section this month is not a real travel article in the same sense of the word. Travelling to Nepal was in one of the previous issues. This is an article to showcase a festival held in Nepal which has thankfully been stopped but it proves how humans are ‘’locked-in to’’ belief systems and rituals that somehow have no true baring on life itself or that which they celebrate. The June issue is filled with wonderful articles. Hope you enjoy each and everyone of them. And if you fall under the star sign of Gemini— do read what Beryl Broekman has to say—all I will say is—spot on.
Blessings,
Tilanie
Lisa Laughlin, another amazing women, well what can I say I am just extremely lucky to also know her. Some day I will get round to convincing her to do an interview for the magazine on her life—believe me it is pretty Aneis de Vida

A friend told the blond man: "Christmas is on a Friday this year." The blond man then said, "Let's hope it's not the 13th."
Two blond men find three grenades, and they decide to take them to a police station. One asked: "What if one explodes before we get there?" The other says: "We'll lie and say we only found two."
A woman phoned her blonde neighbour man and said: "Close your curtains the next time you & your wife are having sex. The whole street was watching and laughing at you yesterday." To which the blonde man replied: "Well the joke's on all of you because I wasn't even at home yesterday."
A blonde man is in the bathroom and his wife shouts: "Did you find the shampoo?" He answers, "Yes, but I'm not sure what to do.... it's for dry hair, and I've just wet mine."

Hayley Rautenbach, animal communicator and healer was left traumatised but through the horror came beauty. Those who have not been through the horror that Hayley experienced just over a year ago, will be able to understand the emotions that have brought her through. Nor will they be able to comprehend what it took to pull through. There will of course be those die hard believers that will comment saying ‘’oh she looked for it’’. I can only say on a personal note that I hope and pray you are never confronted with this ever, because only then will you have to retract those words, only then will you understand what an ancient rhetorical statement it is. Men and women but more so women have to live with this fear, and then being confronted face the true horror of listening and grappling with old dated ways of thinking. Let me firstly tell you about Hayley. Her passion lies with the animals. And roughly 15 years ago she had a profoundly humbling experience with connecting with spirit and the animal kingdom. Her path of healing has been going on and off for the past 10 years. Having started out with wanting to heal animals, she found that with the aniAneis de Vida

heart. Connecting via a spirit level that is as Hayley terms ‘’WOW’’ – he just gets her completely. And not in her wildest dreams did she think a relationship could be all that hers has transpired to be. So coming full circle – from horror to beauty.
By no means does this mean she is over all that happened, but it has brought her a new way of looking at her life, her relationships and most of all a learning curve for her very own journey in delving into the spirit world.

with him. These words may come out clumsy, but I don’t know how else to express it. It was my choice, and the hardest choice I have ever made in my life. It didn’t make it easier for me as the one making the decision, it was gut wrenchingly hard. But it was something I knew I had to do. A year and half now down the line, I still feel the repercussions of my actions and decisions and I realise this will take time to heal.
support facilitators offer only a short term strategy for healing in counselling and guidance. But as I said, trauma from disease, illness, relationships and abuse, more often than not, take a long time to heal. I know this as I am far from healed
Healing from trauma Divorce, illness, abuse…….these very real and prolific experiences can leave one hollow, angry, depressed, anxious, uncertain, lost, to name a few. More and more people experience a trauma/life changing experience either first hand or through a loved one.

On a brighter side, I can say I am only now really discovering who I am because of the traumas, as these experiences have stripped away the bull and pretence from who I was, and I want and need to SEE and KNOW how things really are. I don’t believe anything just because I read it, or heard about or studied, I need to know the truth for me. What resonates, I keep, what doesn’t, I discard. I can say honestly so much of the ‘New Age’ spiritual talk and teachings which I have immersed myself for the last decade, I have discarded as they don’t resonate with me at all.

The aim is to help unlock the memories and emotions for those who suffer from—Dementia and Alzheimers. Lisa Laughlin being one of the volunteers says she knew about the organisation for a long time and it was something she always wanted to do but due to other commitments did not have the time back then to devote to this cause. Things changed and she was able to apply and become one of the team. Lisa herself loves the elderly and what they are still able to give . She says ‘’we often forget with our busy lives that they too once had a career, a family and a social life.

worth. Pregnancy and birthing are very powerful processes of Nature, but because it is a ‘natural part of being a women’ it is often taken for granted, devalued as an important process by some, thus mothers-to-be often feel alone and lost in the whole process. The whole process of giving birth is so powerful and it evokes such a wide array of emotions such as anxiety, fear, anticipation, joy etc. that it is a very significant event in the development of a woman’s identity.
A
colleague and I recently talked about a planned series of workshops for parents, when she asked me what I believe the sole (soul) intent of these workshops should be. I replied that I do not believe that our job is to teach people how to parent, but rather lovingly remind them of the beautiful truth that their child (ren) are the unique manifestations of how Divine Love moves through the world and that their task is to witness this, hold a space for unfolding and Love them into becoming and being. This is what I believe the soul of parenting is intended to be. This is however what we strive for, but as a mother myself, I know how difficult a task this Aneis de Vida
is. My own psychology, my own imperfect humanness are often way off the course of this soulful intent. There is no doubt that women or lets refer to it as the feminine have been devalued in many cultures over the world. Subtle and not so subtle messages about being women have infiltrated the psyches of women for most part of our history as humankind. These messages have influenced how women view themselves and their experiences. The empowerment of women have become an important psychological process in our time as an attempt to change the undermining and eroding influences of culture on women’s self-esteem and sense of 23
Somewhere in the whole process of pregnancy, giving birth and plunging into motherhood, women often lose a sense of self and their needs often get treated as ‘insignificant’, ‘unimportant’ and secondary to the baby’s in the ‘bigger scheme of things’. I often see women in my practice who has an intense need to process and integrate the whole experience as that need are often treated with intolerance and impatience by others in their lives. Not enough focus is given to the psychological aspects of pregnancy, birthing and motherhood during prenatal care. Women are often overwhelmed by the pressure to find the “right way” of birthing and the “right way” of mothering. This detracts from allowing themselves the freedom to experience their June 2016
pregnancy, birthing and motherhood as a unique and valid experience not comparable to another’s experience. Because the experience of being a mother is so dynamic, there is just no way women can adequately prepare for the role. We as humans have become very good at predicting all the potential variables and working out a management plan for these variables. It often works against us instead of for us, as it is a fear-driven process: The fear of something going wrong. This undermines a woman’s internal sense of real power, her trust in her own capacity to deal with a situation and overall sense of worth. The truth is we cannot control most of the variables we as mothers face during the child -raising years and less so when they start moving into adulthood. We cannot predict how we are going to handle the process (first-time mothers) and whether the circumstances are going to be as predicted and whether the child is going to ‘collaborate’ in our plan. A ‘parenting plan’ that is too rigid, inflexible and unrealistic only leads to feelings of disappointment, guilt and a loss of experience when it didn’t go as planned. It often removes the sense of empowerment. A woman’s emotional resiliAneis de Vida
ence, acceptance of herself, open-ness, flexibility and acceptance of the unknown, unforeseen circumstances that she may experience as a mother will predict how she experiences undesirable outcomes in parenting. It is not as much an incident that traumatizes people, but how we experience it (I am still me and I am ok, my sense of security hasn’t disintegrated) and how they are able to integrate the events as part of their unfolding life. The best way to prepare psychologically for motherhood even if it doesn’t go as one would desire it, is to trust oneself, the process and one’s capacity to deal with whatever the outcome. To let go and flow with Nature and one’s one natural processes is about being in the moment of the experience. To not have preconceived ideas as to how one should deal with the process or what an ideal process looks like. It is often the discrepancy between our expectation and the reality that causes us much pain and disappointment. To process the psychological aspects surrounding motherhood/ parenthood and to validate one’s own experience for what it is, staying in touch with ones’ feelings and connected to one’s core are as much psychological preparation for mothering that can 24
be done. On 28 April 2004 at 18:20 my son Marcel was born. Little did I know what an adventure in parenthood he introduced me to as he took his first breath of life. Today is the celebration of his 11-year long journey on Earth. In this moment I want to celebrate the gift of life that he is and thank him for the teacher he is in my life. Parker J. Palmer wrote about the day his grand-daughter was born:
“When my first grandchild was born, I saw something in her that I had missed in my own children some twentyfive years earlier, when I was too young and self-absorbed to see anyone, including myself, very well. What I saw was clear and simple: my granddaughter arrived on earth as this kind of person, rather than that, or that, or that. In my granddaughter I actually observed something I could once take only on faith: we are born with a seed of selfhood that contains the spiritual DNA of our uniqueness – an encoded birthright knowledge of who we are, why we are here, and how we are related to others. We may abandon that knowledge as the years go by, but it never abandons us." May I remain soulful of his spirJune 2016
itual DNA. Today I want to thank my child for coming into this world and blessing it with his beauty, his heart, his energy, his whole being. He touches people’s lives deeply without even knowing it. His sunny nature lights up a room when he enters. His generosity of spirit embraces many souls. Yet, he is human, a pilgrim on the journey of life in a world filled with brokenness and so he stumbles at times. It breaks my heart and I often feel powerless to defend him against the unconscious, mean and vindictive acts of sad, lost and scared people. With every year of his life unfolding, I reluctantly accepted that my task was never to shield him, but build his inner core and resilience so that he could withstand the storms of life. Every day I need to accept that my parenting of him, this incredible young being has no template, no handbook and is fraught with mistakes…a humbling process indeed. I accept that my task in his life is creating the space for his unfolding, to create experiences in which he can discover his soultruths, to protect where he is in danger, but to let go when he needs to explore and exercise his freedom of choice. We make many sacrifices to create such a space for our children and I do not regret any of it for one second. Marcel came as himself, Aneis de Vida
he is not an extension of anyone, his task is not to fulfill anyone’s desires or needs, his task is not to live up to anyone’s expectations and his task is not to take responsibility for anyone’s journey. His task is simply to BECOME. To create a space for his BECOMING is my privilege and honour.
colour my world with bright, bold colours and you bless me with the gift of witnessing your BECOMING. Once you said I am the Angel of your life. I am no Angel my son, a flawed human that I am, but as your mom I make it my task to LOVE you into BECOMING. Thank you for letting me.

Let’s take a step back and take a higher vantage point.

How do we do to go about attaining mastery of our emotions? To start off with is by taking personal responsibility in whatever happened in our lives, as our soul planned it and we played a role in cocreating it for ourselves. By surrendering any misperception about this, for everything is not always as it seems. By

it with these other negative emotions. Like living the past over and over again. If you live in the now, you realise that now is actually all you have, it is a beautiful day, you are loved by the cat lying on your lap, you have food to eat, you are connected to God and the Angels and being loved and blessed from above, now is a synchronistic event that by having followed your intuitive hunches you find yourself in the right place at the right time. Now you should not worry. Now is the time to be happy. Do you get it? Live in the now not in the past and not in the future. Drop all mistaken thinking. Choose your thoughts with care. Ask yourself when a thought enters your mind, do I want more thereof or less? If it is something that you want more of, then keep entertaining those thoughts, if it is something you want less of, then say “cancel, clear delete that thought” before it builds a momentum of its own, because we tend to magnetically attract more of it. Keep it positive.
it is then replaced with love and peace in our hearts, minds and spirit. I was recently reminded of Jesus’ words to God “Oh Father please forgive them for they don’t know what they have done” which I can relate to. I have forgiven all people in my past that have hurt my feelings by their lies, deceit, ego personalities, jealousy, personal betrayals, betraying my trust, bad mouthing me, abused me, cheated on me and so on. In a way I felt sorry for them afterwards, for when you become conscious you become more and more aware “what you sew you will reap”, the law of Karma. In none of the events did I ever think I want to get back at them, or want to make them pay or get revenge. My guides reminded me all I need to remember is who I am. It’s on them for what they have done. I just need to keep my slate clean. The truth always comes out and as they say. The truth will set you free, it does.
Sometimes we are unaware if a person is acting out old karma or creating new Karma. We cannot ask Spirit please The best way to handle it is to help me to be happy when personally become aware of we choose to hold on to un- your own thoughts, words, forgiveness, sorrow and vicdeeds and actions. It’s to do timhood. It’s a two way street onto others as you would and we need to meet Spirit want done unto yourself. Do half way. When we surrender not create a vicious cycle of and release and truly let go, harsh behaviours. Aneis de Vida

Some people interfere in other’s free will and end up creating more karma. Spirit once said that our responsibility is to respond when asked. We are not necessarily to interfere in anthers matters, only if they ask for help. My guides also reminded me that if you cannot say something good about a person then keep quiet. They always tend to find out what was said. Or one day you’ll be in the same position and someone badmouths you. It just shows a weak character when you put people down. In some relationships the one party will want to break the other party’s spirit and selfesteem, and in doing so they feel elevated, better than. There is no better than lesser than consciousness. It’s all an illusion. We need to find the inner strength to lift ourselves up and rise within ourselves without having to step on someone to elevate ourselves. That shows true character and builds respect and sets an example. We tend to lie to ourselves and believe our own stories. What I came to realise is it’s not the way you look, it is all in the way you look. Not on the outside but on the inside. So imagine that your emotions are like having reading glasses on. If you look through glasses of sadness, June 2016
you’ll see sadness all around you, when you put the TV or radio on and when you read the newspaper and magazines, sadness is wherever you look. Oppositely If you look through glasses of love, you see the leaves are in the shape of love, feel the love your pets share with you, see people acting in a loving way towards one another, love, love, love. Which glasses are you wearing? What are you seeing when you look outside, because the world is our mirror and only reflects aspects within ourselves.
especially if there has been a confrontation or argument? The easiest way to know is if there is a chemical reaction or outburst. If the other person gets angry at you and flip their lid, they have the issue. Listen to the words they say as it is indicative of what they feel on the inside (it applies to them). If you remain cool calm and collected, then walk away, it’s not your issue leave it with them. People get answers in hind sight or with repeatedly going through similar experiences. If you are the one that got hot under the collar and was shaking with anger, know it is
with or accepted about yourself. Interactions with people teach us so much about ourselves. Your responsibility is to raise your vibrations, different emotions operate at different frequency levels. Lower emotions like anger and unforgiveness are heavier emotions to ecstasy and joy which are higher and lighter emotions. At times after I assisted my clients to release their negative emotions they comment on how much lighter they feel. Like a weight being lifted from their shoulders. We don’t always realise how heavy these negative emotions weigh, until it is released. Releasing those emotions we gravitate back to love and light. Which is our natural core state of being. It is a state that we love to be in if we allow ourselves, we just tend to fall in the trap of getting hooked into the other emotions that get triggered and then temporarily forget the natural state of ourselves.
So when you are interacting with people, how do you know what is your stuff to deal with and what is theirs, Aneis de Vida
All you need to do is surrender, release and let go, and you back to feeling love and peace that is found all around you as a mirror of it being in you if you choose to become aware of it. This can your issue, sit and reflect on it sometimes be challenging if and ask yourself what is it re- you have to forgive without flecting back at you.

apologising for inappropriate behaviour or finding closure without being able to speak to another person. But it can be done, it takes some work. You know it is all resolved when there are no more emotions attached to a person or an event when it crosses your mind. But while you get upset thinking or talking about it, it hasn’t fully been release or let go of. Then you have to do it again, and again and again. At times you may have to write letters to the person expressing exactly how you are feeling. That way the emotions flows out of your body through the arm and hand onto the paper. It’s vital that you don’t send the letter to that person but to burn it. It’s your issues, and you need to let go of them.

Something I teach my clients to help change their lives is each morning when you wake up say “I ask the lower mind and the lower ego to step aside, I choose to connect to my higher self, I choose to act, react, express and experience only from my higher self.

rystals come in all shapes and sizes. In their natural form many crystals are rough, with sharp or jagged edges. Some have natural facets and points, others are rounded and smooth. Some crystals stand alone, others form in clusters. Some crystals form in layers, others form in bubbles. Some shapes occur naturally, some are cut into shape by artificial means. Polishing alters a crystal’s appearance but does not affect its properties. Each crystal shape has a specific use in healing. Knowing how to use each shape opens up the magic of working with crystals.

As loathe as we are to admit this, pain does play an important role in our lives. Without it, we wouldn't be able to sense an injury, and we'd be in danger of harming ourselves even further. Pain is a defence mechanism that alerts us to an injury, thus allowing us to protect our bodies and not damage them any further. Anyone who has accidently put their hand on a hot stove or stubs their toe knows all too well about this response; the instinct to pull away is as overwhelming as it is quick. The pain reflex is a necessary aspect of our physical and emotional wellbeing.
lead to a breakdown in communication between ourselves and how we see our body. This breakdown in communication is what triggers the disconnection process where we fail to listen to our body’s signals.
Are the short gain benefits worth the long term physical challenges one is faced with when pushing the body continuously beyond its limits? Depending on what the individual’s motivation is, I would imagine that we would all answer this question quite differently. Yet a body that has been continuously pushed beyond its limits will ultimately experience a breakdown. We have all heard or even Regardless of whom we are experienced the phrase, “No or what our motivations are, pain, No gain.” In my opinion, that would be a potential
7 day weeks, 18 hour days. We are living in the moment wanting to achieve the best outcome. If asked that question by an observer, the response would be, “I will deal with it later.” “Later” arrives and we find practitioners rooms full of people who now require their mind and body to be repaired. It is at this point, in my observation, which I have recognized that people truly are not aware of how the body works. Simple strategies of what you take out, you must put back. For example if your body has a high expenditure of energy are you replacing it with the correct and adequate amounts of water, minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, enzymes and phytonutrients. Knowing your limit and listening to your bodies signals so that you can avoid injury would be the most selfserving approach. What happens when you have not taken that approach and find yourself in a physical crisis?

Ingredients: 30 ml Melted coconut oil 2 Bananas 2 Teaspoons sesame seeds 1 Can coconut cream (left in the fridge overnight) Maple syrup Method: - Heat up the coconut oil in a pan - Slice your bananas in half, length wise - Add the bananas to the heated oil and fry both sides until they become crisp and golden but not burnt (you can bake them as well if you’re not in favour of frying. Just make sure you start off on a low heat and once the bananas are starting to cook through, turn up the heat to grill until golden and crispy)
- While you wait for your bananas to cook, take your coconut cream out of the fridge. The coconut water and the coconut cream should be separated, leaving you with a non-runny cream. Put this cream in a bowl with a teeny bit of maple syrup and whisk until creamy (but not runny). - Once your bananas are cooked, you can serve them with the coconut cream. Serve immediately as the heat from the bananas will liquefy the cream. - Before serving, sprinkle over the sesame seeds and drizzle over a small amount of maple syrup

The symptom of this type of sprain is pain when waking up and taking your first few steps in the morning. Pain is felt in the arch of the foot, the toes and more commonly in the heel area, and it radiates down the inside of the sole of your foot. Does this sound like something you experience regularly?

I can’t think straight Most of the time I am confused And cannot work out the patterns in my own mind. It’s always difficult to pinpoint the exact location of myself And even more difficult to stay with this sensation
When I find it.
So you can imagine I am all over the place.

And the vagaries of circumstances
With my flighty nature,
Are more comfortable and comforting to me To engage too seriously in affairs of the heart. Than a steady job with a steady income.
I would leave a trail of broken hearts behind me
You cannot count on me in a tight corner.
Which can never be repaired.
I do not have the capacity to solidly back anyone.
Forgive me then,
It is not because I don't care.
If I remain only on the surface of things.
It’s just that I know my limitations.
It is safer for us all.
I am not capable of seeing anything through But should you care for a cup of tea, for myself Or a tipple of wine, Let alone anyone else. Look for me on the fringes of life, And I can spend a good few hours with you I am sorry if I let you down and disappoint you. I fear this will always be the case.
Sharing many different perspectives on life Without ever getting to the heart of the matter.
I am not made of sterner stuff And I am always tempted By the green grass on the other side.
But this does not mean I do not love. I am capable of the deepest love affairs Of anyone on the planet. Once I have touched your heart You will never recover from the experience Of knowing such a profound emotion. Once you are loved by me, No other love will seem to have any substance.
[Gemini cannot be expected to be a loyal, reliable companion. This star sign has the unique ability to see everybody's point of view and as such can never take sides. This skill is to be admired and respected. And in the future can help us pave the way to a more stable and coherent world. The price for this is, what seems on the surface, a lack of ethics and integrity. But if we can grasp the immense value of the upside and come down from our own high moral ground, we will see that the benefits of these individuals, in the greater scheme of things, far outweighs the downside.]

O
ur inner being is a source of knowledge and power which we can approach daily in an attempt to answer many important questions on the meaning of life, on who and what we are, our ethics and morality, our world with its natural laws and socalled supernatural events and the existence of a higher spiritual reality and God. How we access this knowledge has been for many centuries the subject matter of science, psychology, philosophy, Theology and mysticism. I believe that these are ultimately all different approaches or paths to the same source of knowledge and revelation that is available to us deep within the levels of our own consciousness.

In this regard, we can make use of advanced techniques such as meditation. One such exercise, a visualisation called the “Oracle”, has proved to be extremely powerful. This particular technique was used extensively as a basis to my book "In Search of the Oracle" (2002) and is presented here. The technique is quite advanced and is recommended for those who have already performed inner work. This is first an exercise in imagery and visualisation in which you use a very light meditative state to form a mental picture of an "oracle". This should be an old man or woman who symbolises to you, “God ", "wisdom ", "inner guidance" or merely a wise person whom you can trust and respect. A suitable simple imaginary context is also required for this visualisation, such as seeing yourself slowly climbing a mountain to visit this oracle who is seated in a cave, or on a rock on top of this mountain. This exercise can be accompanied by suitable soft, background music. 69

After you have entered a meditative state, visualise yourselves initially standing facing the mountain and slowly beginning the climb towards the top. As you continue with the climb, note any vegetation, trees, flowers or rocks which spontaneously appear along the way. These images are placed there by your subconscious mind, and indicate that you have attained its cooperation during this exercise.

If you have been feeling as if things have been stuck, you are not alone. But things could change in an instant! So be prepared for some drastic changes to take place. It will be ill advised to revisits any changes. The only constant in life is change! So welcome the change, and work with it to transform your life. Sometimes change can feel terribly destructive, but perhaps you have missed the bigger picture. "Sometimes good things have to fall apart, so better things can fall together" (author unknown). Look at the events changing in your life...And learn from these events...And clear out all which is no longer necessary in your life. Be brave facing the changes, because sometimes we find ourselves alone in the decisions we make for ourselves. Do not look back and get stuck in the passed, keep moving forward and be content that everything changes for our own good. Take pride in your uniqueness and love yourself enough to stand firm the decisions you make for yourself going forward in the new month!!

There are those of you who are clinging to old resentments be that regarding friends or loved ones. This is a month of letting go of those emotions and feelings. As you let go, so too you will be opening up yourself to rapidly attracting that which is to your highest good, and the meeting of all your desires and dreams. It is perhaps a good reminder that certain situations often are presented to us where we need to be used as a healer for someone else. When you let go trust that you were the healer and teacher and visa versa in this given situation. It is also ok to acknowledge that you need not always be in control of any given situation. Letting life flow is easier, but that does not mean you should not at try your best always. 75

DANCING THE CROWN CHAKRA ‘Meet your Monkey-Mind’
CHAKRADANCETM ™ is a moving meditation practice that with regular practice brings about a deeper personal awareness and it also balances the chakras that are our ‘software programmes’ that both regulate and record our lives. Becoming more aware of these dynamic energy centres enables us to create more conscious lives. In CHAKRADANCETM we listen to music specifically composed to resonate with each chakra to lead us into an altered state of consciousness. In a safe and sacred space we respond to the music with spontaneous movements that release muscle memory and we then observe the images, thoughts, symbols and stories that come up, without judgment or analysis. Last month, we explored the Dance of the Third-Eye or Brow Chakra, the energy centre that resonates with accessing and using your intuition. This month Aneis de Vida
we will look at dancing with the CROWN chakra – located at the top of your head the gateway to your spirituality, portal to conscious knowledge and to one-ness.

“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” ~G.K. Chesterton
The Crown Chakra is our gateway to Spirituality, our Universal Identity and connected to Knowledge of Self” ~ JRW
In CHAKRADANCETM the CROWN chakra is symbolically represented by ‘thought’ and is violet and white in colour. The Sanskrit name for this chakra is ‘Sahasrara’ and it means thousand-fold. This is derived from the ancient Indian tradition of the lotus blossom believed to rest on top of the head and represents wholeness, infinity and en77
The dance of the CROWN chakra is in essence a devotional dance. The seventh chakra converts Cosmic Energy into personal consciousness, which occurs as awareness, thoughts, ideas, interpretation, understanding, information, beliefs, intelligence, intention and attention. When we are not aware of our chakras, they operate on a subconscious level. If a person has no concept of anything beyond the material, the crown chakra remains inactive – but not closed, as this energy centre is your spiritual ‘umbilical chord’. When we start to question ‘who’ we are, what our purpose is, and begin to develop our divine June 2016
nature, the crown chakra becomes active and our spiritual mind will start to develop and become ‘wise’. Wisdom is what we get when we combine knowledge and applied experience. Wisdom does not jump to conclusions – it is the consistent adding of data and makes new combinations of old data and the ‘a-ha’ moment is realised. We have more knowledge than we are consciously aware of stored in the realms of the super-conscious mind and we access this when we genuinely want to learn.

excess anxiety and stress and may become addicted to substances, material goods and co-dependent relationships. On the other hand, if we habitually seek out altered states of consciousness, we could lose connection with daily life, relationships and indeed our sanity, whilst being in complete denial. It here in the overenergised crown chakra that we meet the antithesis of rational thought – this is the domain of the ‘monkey-mind’ – where we are constantly distracted by inner ‘chattering’; shattering our peace and disturbing our thought processes.

In CHAKRADANCETM we create unique movements and dance into pure awareness; we connect to our core and to Source. It is an amazing opportunity to engage with our most essential function as a Spiritual Being Intentional Creation. In aligning ourselves to Supreme Consciousness we silence the chattering over-busy mind and instead, bask in the concept of the divine. When we align with the order of the Universe and with its grace, beauty and goodness, we align with the Divine Within and feel joy, universal love and interconnectedness.

CHAKRADANCETM is a dynamic form of movingmeditation, developed and perfected by Australian Natalie Southgate and is primarily concerned with reconnecting to our true essence and hearing what it has to say. Offering similar benefits to yoga in terms of the chakras, CHAKRADANCETM increases your awareness of the connection between your body and soul and leaves you with a feeling of inner peace and serenity. The aim in CHAKRADANCETM is to form an ongoing relationship between our unconscious and consciousness so we can reach our fullest potential via the 7 main chakras, which govern the health of specific body parts and organs. Each chakra influences a different aspect of your lives: belonging; pleasure; self; compassion; integrity; intuition and rationality. June 2016
CHAKRADANCETM draws on a fusion of philosophies and musical styles, focusing solely on personal experience, and balancing individual chakras –energy centres that are the gateways to integrating mind, body and spirit. Through spontaneously created movements we are able to free up our natural energy flows and harmonise our chakras, thereby strengthening our state of health and wellbeing. Participants are taken on a dynamic dance through their own energy centres. No dance experience or prior knowledge of the chakras is necessary. With a scarf tied over the eyes in order to access our inner world more effectively and guided by music resonating to each of the seven chakras, participants are taken on a spiritual dance journey. With practice and appropriate application, these experiences can then be integrated into our everyday lives. Participants leave the humdrum world behind – surrendering to the music and dancing from the inside out – ultimately freeing our natural energy flows and feeling more alive!
