BOOKS FLAVOURS OF MELBOURNE By Jonette George
Dear Aura, A very close friend of mine passed away late last year and before she died she told me she would send me a message at some stage. I have not had that as yet, but at times have felt she has been nearby. A few nights ago I had a dream which she appeared in but she had a different hairdo, looked much younger, very fit and healthy. Her words to me where ‘I am back’ and as she gave me a hug asked ‘Why did you let the birds die?’ I have wondered ever since what she meant by this. We were very close and I miss her wisdom and guidance greatly. Jan, Tasmania

I hear much laughter when tuning into you and your friend and that laughter has resonated throughout lifetimes, both past and future. Between lives we spend time reviewing what we have learned and plan how we can help each other to continue to grow in future incarnations. Many occasions in this between time you have sat somewhere over a cuppa talking about the roles you have played, and will play, in each other’s lives and the support you have given each other, whether as friend, sister, mother, cousin or acquaintance. Her appearance in your dream and the cryptic question has set you on a course of purposeful contemplation and once again she is there helping you to grow, prompting you in this case to seek answers about the mysteries of existence; is there something other than what we can see with our eyes and what happens when we leave this place? With regard to the specifics of the dream, what do birds represent to you? What is the first thing that comes to mind? Do they represent freedom, lightness of being, your holy spirit - only you can truly say, as dreams utilise your vocabulary. Perhaps something has gone from your life or something is missing. Whatever your answer, I would never doubt that her guidance will always be there for you, in a dream or in the steam gently rising off a cuppa. Her presence is definitely with you. Blessings Aura

Feng Shui Tips By Janeen Hanson Being the year of the Celestial Water Dragon means we are all infused with the ultimate energy of success and happiness this. As the curtain begins to draw on the first half of 2012, we can assess how far we have come, yet still have ample time to implement and achieve exactly what we set out to do. This month the energy circulating focuses on family (including friendships). In today’s world many families are blended together by various arrangements and circumstances. Remember all families are unique, often complex, and challenging at times in life. June gives us the perfect energy to break old, negative patterns and replace them with empowering, foundation-building strength, love and light. Focusing on what should be at the core of any family - love. This type of love should feel real, kind, unconditional and supportive. All families have their historical differences but consider, if there are bad feelings between you and another, is it personally justified or have you inherited a family grudge, split or divide? And is it time to let go? Harboring negative energy simply slows your journey and progress in life, so use this month to release, or start to release any family feuds that do not serve you. Everyone wishes to be valued, so ask yourself; 'Am I making my friends and family feel special, valued, loved and deeply cared about? Bring in all your own unique magic
and sparkle to everyone who crosses your path - start from a space of giving and be delighted by how much you will ultimately receive. For businesses, family applies to customers, clients and staff, so consider where your energy is best applied to get the most out of those around you and surround yourself with quality connections. One note of caution, there is a dense cloud fueling your ego this month and you may also find negative energy in your leadership skills, so be aware you do not play a blame game, or try to lead others to side with you. Start from a space of being personally accountable for everything you have created in your life and apply yourself rigorously to making this life your best one yet! Wishing all Insight readers loving, caring, quality connections with family, friends and professional relationships.
