Have you in anyway changed your thoughts with regards to these amazing beings that coinhabit our world?
If anything, an even stronger belief that lions (and all wildlife, and all last wild lands) must be protected at all costs. When I was born, some 400,000 lions roamed the African wilds. Today, probably less than 20,000 wild lions exist. This staggering fact is illustrated on the YouTube book trailer of My Lion's Heart - http://youtu.be/ DH_PeSYwmyQ

You brought global awareness to the heinous crime of canned hunting. It has brought a greater awareness globally. Do you feel that that there will be an end to this crime or will it just be come another one of those that people know about but it will fade into ‘’acceptance’’ of not being able to stop it happening?
No, I truly believe it will end. In recent years incredible awareness globally has been created about the horrors of canned lion hunting, and of all trophy hunting. Cecil May 2016
the lion's death, combined with the immense power of the internet, brought home to millions worldwide how abhorrent it is to kill animals for vanity reasons, and for socalled 'sport'. Ten's of international airlines no longer will transport lion 'trophies'. Australia and France have banned the import of lion 'trophies'. The USA have recently imposed regulations that make it very difficult for its trophy hunters to import their trophies. To kill animals for so-called 'sport', 'recreation', is increasingly viewed universally as archaic, and the pastime of psychopaths. On this subject, please see the following Huffington Post article I am quoted in, on the parallels of the psyche of serial killers and trophy hunters The Pastime of Psychopaths Huffington Post
the animals. Therefore we need to become humble and realize that we have so much to learn from this much older life. Back in 2001, I wrote an internationally published spiritual book, To Walk with Lions (presently published as Lessons from Lions) http://www.amazon.co.uk/ Lessons-From-Lions-GarethPatterson-ebook/dp/ B008XJ8JO4 This book deals with the seven principles of spiritual fulfilment that come from the king of animals - the lion, and lessons they can teach us about attaining Selfreliance, Fellowship, Willingness to Care, Affection, Determination, Courage and Loyalty.

In 2000, my colleague, forest guard Wilfred Oraai, encountered and photographed a young bull. In 2001, I embarked on a seven year independent study on the Knysna elephants - and learnt that far from dying out, these amazing elephants had quietly, and without the aid of humankind, had brought themselves back from the brink. You can read about this in my book, The Secret Elephants - http:// www.amazon.com/TheSecret-Elephants-Rediscovery -Southerly/dp/0143528017

hardest kind of writing, in my experience. It can be wonderfully flowing, but it calls on a different part of your brain than non-fiction, and there are parts where it’s like pulling teeth. Non-fiction flows more easily for me. It sounds backwards but fiction writing is almost left brain for me and non-fiction is right brain. Weird, I know. How do you view what is happening in our world today? Would you consider that most of the ‘’heartache and despair’’ is brought about by the human tendency of negative thought patterns?
Gosh, that’s such a big question! I look at what’s happening today from many different angles: Socially and politically what I see is the quiet building up of new and better ways of doing things at the same time that the very media-visible, loud, aggressive, often very frightening “reality” is, in my view, effecover time.

indeed result from our thoughts, positive and otherwise. Some of us wonder how it is that the United States can produce more than a dozen presidential hopefuls most of whom send much of the world into paroxysms of shock. Well that’s exactly what the US created for itself. Look how people responded to George W. Bush – the despair that resulted in much of the population as a result of his presidency was precisely what then multiplied that dynamic 12 times over. Now I could go on and on about this topic all day, but in the end the thing is that we are Aneis de Vida
all responsible for this and the best way for us to attract better is indeed with our own thoughts. It’s smart to be aware of reality and to be mature about what’s right and what’s wrong, but when we get angry about what we see in the world then we just keep recycling that which we’re angry about.
There’ve been points of major learning, some of which of course haven’t been pleasant, and points of particular guidance. The last few years has been especially rapid, especially eye-opening, and especially rewarding, and has been the time of coming into the most alignment with my true self.
How would you describe your own personal evolvement – was it a natural progression or a conscious choice?
What would you wish people to know that could from your perspective bring them out of their negative train of thought?

So how do I know if I’m under psychic attack? This can be quite confusing, as some of us are Empaths, and they symptoms are often the same.
Smudging and burning of herbs
What is an Empath?
Protective crystals
An empath is someone who is extremely sensitive to energy – Empaths can walk into a room and immediately feel and perceived the energy of the occupants of the room. They also have a tendency to act as “sponges”- thus absorbing other people’s energies and emotions – being happy, angry, frustrated, etc. If they do not know how to shield themselves from these energies, it will leave them tired, frustrated and exhausted, especially when they are in a negative environment.
Smudging and Burning of Herbs
What is a Physic attack? When you are under a psychic attack, you can suddenly feel depressed, exhausted, feel threatened, get angry for no reason, have a sudden energy loss and generally just Aneis de Vida
In my experience, if it feels uncomfortable, treat it!
Ways to cleanse & clear energies
Protection mantras Coarse salt & oils Intention
Create your own protection ritual where you call upon the Archangels to keep you safe and protected at all times. This should be done daily. Archangel Micha el is for protection – he is also our avenger. Whenever you feel threatened or fearful, call upon him for help. You will feel his presence. Coarse salt and oils
Smudging is the burning of certain herbs to cleanse and clear energies from your space. This has been done for centuries, and is very effective. White sage is the most commonly used for smudging, being either as a smudging stick or as incense. Others that can be used is sandalwood, dragon’s blood or Imphepho (African sage). If you are sensitive to the smoke of these herbs they 31

She went through a major transformation and got so excited when someone phoned from out of the blue having looked at her CV and asked her to come for a job interview. Telling me that it’s a miracle after so many years of nothing. She told me with a sparkle in her eyes that she even started to receive compliments from strangers and became more conscious and aware of the divine synchronicities that take place in her life. She’s been eating more and needing less medication.
So what actually happened? It was a traumatic event that took place a number of years back that threw her off her path, made her feel bad about herself and she just couldn’t stomach what happened and that uneasy feeling didn’t want to go away in her Solar Plexus centre. The emotions made her feel ill. In the session with me I helped her release all the negative emotions, to claim back her personal power and feel better about herself. She was then vibrating at a higher frequency and attracted opportunities and complements because she was giving off feelings of self-acceptance and self-love, and the outside world being her mirror of what she felt inside was positive, because she shifted to a Aneis de Vida

Shift and transform to inspired and naturally happier reach their highest potentials. and more content. So let me explain to you the relation between your chakras and good health…
Let’s start off by looking into what chakras are. A chakra is an energy centre in the body, that spins in a cone like fashion either counterclockwise when it is giving out energy or clockwise when it is receiving energy or not spinning at all when it is blocked. What you want to try and avoid is a chakra being blocked for extended periods of time, because then your body cannot receive the vital life force energy that is needed to maintain the organs, which it is connected to, for optimum health and wellbeing. The question then is what blocks a chakra? One of the major contributors is stress as well as harbouring negative emotions. This causes physical illness and dis-ease in the body. Your emotions play a major part in your optimal wellbeing. When you hold on to negative emotions it drags you down, you recognise it by feeling heavy and you 36
You have a physical body with subtle bodies around you which are your emotional -, mental- and spiritual bodies. They form part of our Aura or morphogenetic field around us. A chakra spins through your physical and subtle bodies. So when you hold on to negative experiences/emotions/beliefs in your mental body it filters through to your emotional body and then blocks up that area in your physical body. The negative emotions are toxic in your body. It’s important to release and let go of the toxic emotions to improve your own wellbeing.
Please note that you have hundreds of chakras, but today I will talk about the 7 major chakras.
The 1st chakra is your base or root chakra, it is located at the base of your spine. A chakra spins in front of your body as well as at the back of your body. Your base chakra is the one you conMay 2016
nect to Mother Earth with, your grounding cord. It’s your root chakra which holds all issues related to your roots, your upbringing and your family. When we feel grounded, safe and secure, with a sense of belonging then the base chakra would be open and spinning. The negative emotions that block your base chakra are anger and fear. So stress, strain, anger, fear and anxiety blocks the flow of energy to your base chakra.
terectomy. Being financially unsupported is usually the root cause for lower back pains, especially if you have to carry the load/financial burdens all by yourself. Guilt and rejection are the major emotions that causes the sacral chakra to block. Where you tend to feel isolated, alone, depressed and not good enough.
The 3rd chakra is your solar plexus chakra, located 2 inches above your navel. This is your power centre. You’ll either feel powerful or powerless in this centre. When you stand in your power with no judgement, no condemnation and no expectation the chakra is spinning. Completely accepting of yourselves. The emotions that block the solar plexus are shame, being shamed, feeling not enough, having low self-worth, low self -esteem and poor self-image. It shows up in the body either by feeling tightness or a hollow feeling in that area of the body. Symptoms of that chakra not working properly are IBS or digestive problems. Usually because you cannot stomach what has happened to you, inability to make peace.
The 2nd chakra is your sacral chakra, located 2 inches below your navel. This centre governs your emotions, sensuality and sexuality and finances. It’s also your creative centre, because females give birth/ creates life from this centre. When you emotional intelligent and at peace with our own sexuality and financially secure this chakra is spinning and you have a healthy reproductive system. It’s when there was either sexual abuse or where a spouse has made you feel not good enough as a wife or husband with having affairs for instance that you then develop problems in that particular area. In females case it can show up as thrush, bad period pains and heavy The 4th chakra is your heart bleeding, cysts or as severe as having to undergo a hys- chakra, located in the centre of your chest.

one of our most important chakras. It is from this chakra which you should operate from in this Golden Age you are living in. It is a very important chakra to have open and spinning. When it is open and spinning you’ll have empathy and compassion and it’s easy for you to love unconditionally. The emotions that block this chakra are unexpressed grief and sadness, unforgiveness and hopelessness. This chakra is most affected by unexpected death of a loved one be it a family member, pet or someone very close to your heart, or even by them leaving you through divorce, a breakup, being betrayed and so forth. Some experiences are just so painful for some people to experience, and not ever being taught how to release the heartache and pain they tend to close off their heart chakra all together in order not to feel the hurt again, but in so doing also don’t feel love again. Most heart conditions are as a result of this.
The 5th chakra is our throat chakra, located at the base of our neck and it governs communication. When you hear and speak the truth, have the ability to put your feelings into words, say what you mean and mean what we say, your throat chakra May 2016
would be open and spinning. When you get told lies upon lies upon lies, it doesn’t sit well in our throat and we have difficulty swallowing, or get a lump in our throat. Adversely if there is something that you need to say to someone but are afraid to, then you develop an itchy/scratchy feeling in the throat and tend to cough more, because the words sit there and need to be expressed. People pleasers have throat chakra issues. The emotions that block your throat chakra are lies and fear of speaking your truth.
The 6th chakra is our third eye, located on your forehead between your eyes. When your third eye is open and spinning you are more intuitive, creative, and dream a lot. Veils of illusion and depression as well as not trusting yourself, especially your own intuition closes the third eye.
And the 7th chakra is our crown chakra, located on top of your head where you connect to our higher light, and Source/God. Our prayers get sent through our crown chakra to above. This is mostly always open. When things become difficult for us we tend to start closing our chakras from the bottom upwards and this would be the last chakra to close down beAneis de Vida
fore returning ‘home’. In very rare cases have I ever seen this chakra closed, mostly linked to anger towards the Creator for a lousy life or losing a child due to illness and death, a complete loss of faith and trust.

I then help heal the root cause emotions, in order for the client to feel better and have better experiences. Because when it is revealed, understood and released it is healed.
Your body is very wise and tells you when there is a disease.

ave you ever had a life experience where all of the dark moments of your life come together in one single life episode? You are faced with the darkness of the fears that you keep locked up and hidden. That one action/ reaction that transpired in the distant time period of your life becomes the hidden, focal point of your life thereafter. Every chapter in your life carries this fine thread through it. It is like a rolling ball of clay that began it’s descent from the top of the mountain stream. As it gathers momentum, sticks and small stones cling to it. It grows larger and larger as it rolls and tumbles through the river bed. Finally to come to a halt when the original little ball of clay has gotten laden with the weight of all that has now attached to it.
You hide this original darkness in the deepest part of your consciousness. The fear of unleashing the dragon has the potential for destruction on all fronts of your existence. You may not be aware to the extent of how deep you hide this darkness. Maintaining the lock and key becomes a creative process that conditions many life experiences. We justify it by saying this is who I am; this is my lot in life and Aneis de Vida
better to accept it. We throw ourselves into relationships, be it work, marriage, children, friendships, life experiences that on some level may validate your worthiness but in the moments that you are alone with yourself, your deep pain reveals itself. The pain, hurt and utter disappointment of how certain aspects of the way life turned out can leave one petrified and immobilized.
The spiritual intellects will give their patronizing input, this is your karma. The religions will say it is your fault as you have not handed your life over to this higher power that removes all sins. The new agers will answer by saying you are your thoughts and therefore change these thoughts and life will come up smelling like roses, others will say this is your lot, you deserve it. Everyone has something to say, but no true answer is given. The truth is, we do not know why some have it easier than others. Why things happened to some people at an age where they should have been protected. Why have some people so much and others so little.
from the place that we hold our own belief systems, our own life experiences. We can never know a person’s true position in their life journey for they will only reveal what they feel is safe to share. If we could trust that our presence of strength and nonjudgement is what is required. It is from this place that you provide a space for the other to drop their weakness and judgement of themselves, even if it is for a brief moment. It is in this moment when through the darkness, a glimmer of light shines through. This beam of light shines on that part of the beautiful soul that longs to be free, joyous and express the magnificence of who they truly are.
In this moment of realization of what truly lies within, hope ignites the inner flame. The art of the following part of the journey is holding onto the glimmer of light and expanding it. How does one do this when life has not provided the platform of emotional intelligence from the offset? So we turn to the external world for help. Someone, somewhere appears to have it more together than ourselves. It can take us down a As an outsider we believe we multitude of life options.

Once you’ve done this, place your cupcake tray in the fridge for a few hours until the shells and the filling have set. When your tartlets have set, remove your cupcake tray and CAREFULLY, with a knife, loosen the sides of the tartlets so that they can easily be removed for serving. Don’t be too rough or else your crust will fall apart. Caramel: Place all the ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Place in the fridge. Once your tartlets have set and is ready to be served, spoon some caramel on top. These tartlets need to be kept in the fridge and only be taken out to be served immediately.

Everything you need to know about diabetes. Diabetes is a manageable but serious problem with high blood sugar. People who have this condition cannot absorb glucose into their cells and so the glucose remains in the blood until levels get dangerously high. The only way for the body to get rid of the excess glucose is through urine, which is why the urine is sweet.
There are two kinds of diabetes: Type 1:

Anxiety disorders are common and faced by many. It is also one of the biggest contributing factors to mental health issues. There are a few things which you can do to combat your anxiety.
Laugh—laughter releases dopamine which is a chemical in the brain which controls your feelings of pleasure. To laugh reduces the stress hormone cortisol which automatically increases with any form of anxiety. So even if you have to fake a laugh or two, it is better than none.
Take time out and relax. Our lives are generally so stressful, and it has become a norm resulting in us not even taking

henever I am tempted to define something (which is quite often), I am reminded of James Hollis’ words: “The more I try to define psyche, the more I lose touch with the mystical.” As humans we are far too often engaged in the process of dissecting, unpacking, analysing and evaluating concepts, events, people, situations and more or less anything. This in order to gain some understanding and definition of whatever it is that we are dealing with. This is in part because of our desire to further our knowledge-base and consciousness. Yet, it is also because of our deep inherent fear of the unknown that we try to understand everything from a logical, rational and often very linear and one-dimensional viewpoint. All an attempt to eventually exert some form of control over the many things we perceive are beyond our control: i.e.: nature, other people, world events, the future etc. Too often in my therapeutic work with clients over more than a decade, I have encountered a type of ‘freefloating anxiety’, which is rooted in a sense of generally feeling unsafe in this world. To distill the cause of this feeling Aneis de Vida
of being unsafe to one origin would be in contempt of my belief that the soul is complex and multi-dimensional. Many conscious and unconscious reasons feed this sense of being unsafe. It could be due to childhood traumas and adverse experiences. Research into epi-genetics has also pointed to the presence of generational trauma that has been passed on to the children of parents whom themselves have experienced trauma. It is often very difficult to pin-point one particular wound that has left a person feeling unsafe. However, as it is my desire to be of value through my work, I continue to explore the core woundedness eroding the soul of our world. A lot of the times it all leads back to a deep sense of unworthiness, which leads to self-criticism, self-judgment and selfrejection which equals feeling unsafe.
layers of defense around our intuitive abilities, which he says is essentially the way we bridge the mystical with the mundane and open op to safety. He furthermore says that awkwardness, scepticism and embarrassment remove us from contact with the ability to be the love that we have always been looking for. In other words, the true safety and power only love can bring forth within us. As David G. Myer puts it: “Under the surface lies a lot of intelligence, above a lot of delusion.” Could it then be true that the love we turn inward functions as the instrument that tunes us in to our intuitive sense perceptions and true source of power, belonging and ability to be a manifestation of how love moves through the world? Much has been said about self-love and selfcompassion, but it seems to be the one true instrument pointing us to our hidden intuitive blessings.
Could it be possible that regardless of our experiences, that in modern-day life we have forgotten, unlearnt, disconnected from our source energy and our sensitive, intuitive abilities? Matt Khan, author and spiritual teacher (Whatever Arises, Love That: A Love Revolution That Begins with You – www.soundstrue.com) suggests that we have built three 61

is because on some deep level, I feel unsafe and with this lack of safety it causes me to live in a world where I insist on others committing to me far before I have chosen to commit to my life. And in order to reverse this polarity…in order to feel so filled with love so that I can fully commit to any moment, whether anyone else commits that way to me. I must find true safety right now and that safety erupts by accepting the one that feels unsafe, the one that’s afraid to commit as if doing their best might not be good enough, is disjointedly.

I know the value of life. I have seen the folly of investing myself In aimless pursuits. I have seen the damage caused to body and soul By opening the heart up to greed and grandeur. I have seen and I know the value Of standing in one's own truth.

And therefore I live my life only according To my view of the world.
I am not invested in being right or wrong. I give not a brass farthing For the sentiments of the era. I am not blinded by the dazzling rays Of rising stars and honourable mentions. It is all of no consequence to me
Because I live entrenched in my truth And shackled only to the turning seasons of life.

The expansion of the mind can be likened to a flower which is in the process of blooming and exposing itself to the Sun. However, even as the petals continue to open, the centre of the flower is still largely unfolded and bathed in shadows. The idea of a ‘shadow realm‘of the mind therefore symbolically represents those areas of the Jungian collective unconscious which have not yet awakened fully and still embody the principle of primal chaos. These less-evolved areas of the collective unconscious are sometimes called the abyss, the arcane shadow or the astral realm, and correspond to the early stages of human mental development which include one’s more basic instincts and drives. According to those who have experienced this level of mind, it is populated by a host of elemental beings and archetypal personalities which I have chosen to call ‘shadowentities’, and whom are certainly not hospitable. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, including chaotic states of mind or drug usage, the human consciousness can sometimes regress to these levels, which can be quite frightening. As human beings, our present consciousness has evolved to occupy a position on the threshold of this realm, and some more robust individuals are even suited for work there, being able to move around within in the shadows and effect real change in those places where consciousness is trapped or not yet fully unfolded. Here I am referring to those who work tirelessly to reduce crime, violence and mental disorders. This level of mind is usually populated with oppressively negative mental patterns, thoughts and emotions which can take on grotesque archetypal forms (due to one’s symbolic processes of interpretation), as well asprimitive archetypal forms in an early stage of evolution, as well as others which 68

embody the principle of chaos and have chosen to remain on this level. This reminds one of the idea of the ‘underworld’ in mythology, as well as the notions of Hell or Purgotory as described in religious scriptures. Here one may also encounter scattered disembodied images and personality-patterns of some deceased persons still trapped in these deep recesses. And so, when it comes to exploring the collective unconscious during meditation and deep mental processing, this area is best left alone (unless one is called to work on this level).

When we compare ourselves to others, we create insecurity in our lives. Hierarchical structures are placed in almost all areas of life, and we are conditioned to adhere to these systems put in place. But far too often it makes us feel unworthy or less than. It would be wise to not see yourself as less than anyone or anything else at this stage in your life. Energetically we are all equal and are capable of achieving the same as others. Claim your place in society and begin gaining the experience that will take you to where you want to be. Conflicts and disagreements may cause stumbling blocks along the way. The secret is to find the least damaging way to handle these conflicts. When your ideas and opinions are met with resistance and disagreement from others, don’t let it taint your passions by allowing the views of others to negatively affect your progress. Stand back and acknowledge their opinions, but make your decisions based on the way you feel is best. There is no right or wrong way, both paths would have

their own lessons. Conflict and criticism is often a result of others' fear of your success. Remain resolute in your own truth and keep your dreams close, but at the same time be open to adjusting your direction if it makes sense to you to do so...If you are feeling despondent by lack of opportunities before you, simply open your awareness to new paths by releasing your expectations of what you can and cannot do. Put aside your past conditioning that limits your perception of your own abilities and be open to ideas that you never before thought were even possible. You have what it takes inside you to create the life you desire. Don’t let fear stand in your way of achieving your goals. Give voice to your opinions and communicate your ideas with strength and passion. Allow others to become aware of your presence and your right to have what you desire in the world.

There seems to be a need for forgiveness this month. Whatever it is you are wishing for, it will not happen until you have either forgiven yourself or another. Even though you may feel the anger you harbour is justified, ask yourself this: Who is it serving? The answer is relatively easy窶馬either you, the situation or another. Let go of your anger it is only causing toxins in your body. As you let go, so you will also heal and attract your deepest dreams to come true.

DANCING THE THIRD-EYE or BROW CHAKRA ‘Your Inner-Vision Vehicle’
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 I wrote about the Throat Chakra, the energy centre that is the wellspring of our communication capabiliAneis de Vida
ties – both internal and external. This month we will look at dancing with what is often thought of as the mystical, magical chakra – the THIRDEYE chakra – also known as the BROW chakra, located in the centre of your forehead.

allow our imagination to roam free in order to visualize and conceptualize. Expanded imagination accesses higher levels of perception and in this way we gain greater control of our lives by using our imagination. You may know of those people who have sustained debilitating injuries and that through visualizing their injured part working to full capacity, they have recovered…without moving a muscle! So strong is our imagination that much can be achieved through strengthening the ability to visualize how we would like our lives to be.
“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart.
In CHAKRADANCETM the BROW chakra is symbolically Who looks outside, dreams; who represented by ‘light’ and is looks inside, awakes.” a deep indigo in colour. The Sanskrit name for this chakra is ‘Anja’ and it has two meanings: to perceive, and to command. The third eye is the cosmic receiver and sender of multidimensional information that is accessed only when we let go of preconceived ideas and simply 77

At this level we are also able to tap into archetypal energies – releasing deep ancestral memories so that we can heal at a very deep level and let go of the past. In ancient times many shamanic practices incorporated dancing to a mesmerizing and repetitive rhythm until one was transported to the world of imagination…to the unconscious place where all of our past is documented all the way back in time to our original genetic structure or ‘blueprint’. In this ‘magical’ state we tap into our inner wisdom- ‘the wisdom of the ages’- and bring back the solutions.

6. Do I trust my intuitive feelings?
A balanced 3rd Eye chakra allows us to experience more authentic intuition whilst gaining a stronger sense of reality and therefore a command of our situation. When underenergised there is a distinct lack of trust in one’s intuition and we fail to pick up meaningful signs and synchronicities. An over energised thirdeye results in distortion and Paradoxically, in relinquishing delusion, where fantasy beconscious control, we percomes reality and ‘magical’ ceive the reality of the situa- significance is bestowed on tion and gain insight.

If there was any discord when answering the questions perhaps these 5 little tips will help you understand and begin to bring balance to the third-eye chakra. 1. Commit to regular practice of intuition building exercises (meditation, guided visualisation, trance dance, dreamwork) 2. Regularly ask advice from your intuitive self and then be open to the flow of intuition.
3. Recognise the relevance of chance encounters, coincidences and synchronicities. See these as signposts to guide you. 4. Use your imagination to create the life you want. Use visualisation, or create a vision board.
5. Learn to trust your “sixth sense”. When it feels appropriate, use intuition even if it is beyond rational explanation. Would you like to dance into effortless meditation with CHAKRADANCETM?

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!

CHAKRADANCETM is a dynamic form of moving-meditation, 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 on-going 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 Aneis de Vida
After we have danced, we express our experience through mandala art as spontaneously as we created our movements. The mandala both contains our experience and reflects the healing frequencies newly revealed in our energy fields. It is amazing how adept one becomes at this art even if you have never believed you can ‘draw’! Practicing CHAKRA79
