Hi, I’m Mandy. I am part of the Cheeky Angels Team and the “normal one!” I am a wife and Mother to 2 boys, aged 18 & 6. I lead a very hectic life and have somehow obtained the nickname of the Energizer Bunny! I can’t think why…. I run my own business as a self employed hairdresser, am a tutor teaching Mediumship and Psychic development alongside doing public demonstrations. I am a working Spiritual Medium & Psychic as well as a Pet Psychic and Animal Communicator. I am the other owner of the ‘Mediumship Messages and Training Centre’ group on Facebook alongside Stella and we share the same beliefs & values in helping & nurturing others to grow. We all have a very good friendship between us but with different areas of expertise and I am really looking forward to combining all areas together to form a unique magazine with real people, real stories and we tell it as it is with no airs and graces. With us, what you see is what you get.

Hi, I’m Stella, I am the Aussie part of the team. I am a Wife and a Mum to my own three children (adults!), and adopted Mum to hundreds. I love to look after people and to make other people feel happy in their lives. I work as a Tarot Reader, in a few different places. I work from a shop, a theme park, online, in person and have worked at many Psychic Fairs. This is my passion along with healing; I am a Reiki Master and Teacher. I am one of the owners of the ‘Mediumship Messages and Training Centre’ on Facebook where it is our mission to help as many people as we possibly can to develop their gifts at their own pace and in a comfortable and safe environment. I am admin on a lot of Spiritual Pages and have met some truly wonderful people over the years. I cannot remember a time when I did not read the Tarot, but I did once upon a time, have a ‘proper job’ as a cook and before that a secretary. I had a rather nasty car accident which left me disabled in as much as that I cannot hold down a ‘proper’ job anymore with set work hours. But what I do now suits me very well. I am an optimist and I love to learn and to share, so Cheeky Angels Magazine is a chance for me to cover all of my passions in one place.
I’m the baby of the group and I considered myself normal until, I met the crazy two above about three years ago and my life hasn’t exactly been the same since!!! I live in Portsmouth, Hampshire, UK with my partner. I work full time in Sales Support, so it’s an experience fitting what I love to do the magazine in at the same time!!! I love to research my family history and go to Zumba, Pilates & Slimming World (yes i do love it!)... oh and my favourite band is Boney M......!!! Now you know I am not normal! I am loving being part of this and bringing you all knowledge, other peoples views and a bit of laughter..

JOANNE MURRAY Psychic Medium & Tarot Reader y short term memory is shocking, but my long term memory always amazes me as I remember things and timings 10 years ago! Ask me what happened 10 minutes ago and I will struggle. We all have good and bad memories which have shaped who we are today. They make us stronger, understand what & who we like and don't like. We have learnt from the past but sometimes we think we have but we actually haven't, which is why things repeat themselves. Only when you have learnt the lesson and acknowledge it does it stop repeating itself. Living in the past is not healthy, you need to live for now... the decisions you made then have paved the way for now. You made the right decision for then, which now you have learnt may not be the way you would have done it now. How many times do you say that hindsight is a wonderful thing? We all look back and see how good or bad things were then, we all miss loved ones that have past away but you are where you are for a reason. You may not know what that reason is for months or years but it will suddenly all fit into place. The same with people - they come in and out of your lives. Some we are meant to meet for life and others are just there for a short time... some we will remember and others sadly we won't. We are all guilty of looking back and saying if only it was the same now as it was then but if it was would you still be as happy? Life is about choices and the choices you make consciously or subconsciously - yes the Universe listens to us but there is always free will, and that is where you make the choices. If I look at myself a year or so ago - I was almost 3 stone heavier and in a job that was going no where. I couldn't see a way out and to be perfectly honest with you I was getting depressed and fed up. I had had about 30 interviews but the same old story I was either over qualified or just not as good as the one that got the job offer! So, what happened? I made a choice,,,, to lose weight and be serious about it this time. Looking back I realise that all the other times I have just played at it and was cheating myself that one more glass of wine or bar of chocolate would not hurt! I blamed everything else but me! I now know that it was my choice to have that glass of wine - no one was forcing it down me! Then I was made redundant (3 times in 4 years), deep down we knew it was going to happen but it was still a shock - a relief to get out but where was the income going to come from? Actually, the Universe did me a favour as I ended up doing temping work which made me remember the skills I lost. Within 2 months I had a permanent job.... not the one I wanted but it taught me valuable lessons and acknowledge lessons from the past! So.. now I have lost almost three stone, went for a job interview the other week (first one) and got the job! Closer to home, increase in salary and a job I love! You have to go through these hurdles to realise what they are there for. As you can see it has taken a few years to get to where I want to be but had I not made a conscious choice to change my life around I dread to think what I would be up to! By remembering what has happened in the past, helped me to acknowledge the lessons so that I could break the cycle. You can do that too... don't live in the past live for now. Hold your
M
memories close to you but don't let them over take your life! I do feel that this also happens when people are looking for a reading from Mediums. I've seen it happen in so many groups that I am in. It can be an obsession for some people to hear something from a certain person and when they don't it upsets them even more. Spirits don't just pop up - well they do but sometimes you may not be ready even though you think you are. It might not be the right Medium for you - don't forget as they were in life they are still choosy! I have read for a couple of people lately that have waited over 4 years to hear from a loved one. We all want to remember our times with loved ones in Spirit but as long as you remember that even if they don't come through at a time you want them to they will still be around you. When they do come through they may want to give you a message I knew from an early age that I or provide you with evidence/memories of had an ability to talk to, hear something completely different. We as and feel spirits but, like many, life Mediums can only pass through what we are took over! given at that time..... I think we just get swept up in the joy that they have come through to My mother has always believed us. Stay with me - the memory part is coming in me and nudged me in the up!! right direction and I do have to I remember the first time I went for a thank her otherwise I would not reading with a Medium. The first thing he said be doing what I love to do. I to me was that I didn't need to be there! Well, have to thank my guides as well actually I did as I didn't realize that I really was for their patience and support. a Medium myself - I had an inkling but at that time didn't really understand it all! When I look When my g reat g randmother back on that time I now understand what he died in the mid 1990’s, I was was saying as I knew exactly who was around having conversations with her me as I was talking to them anyway. I think I and knew that this was not just just needed someone to say..... this is normal! part of the grieving process. I What is normal? There is no such thing as even kept seeing my guide, a normal - what is normal for one person isn't Rabbi, in my bathroom and he necessarily normal for another. There is no was very real!! T his was when I rule to say it isn't and I think we tend to forget decided to listen to what my that! Well there used to be with Witchcraft guides were telling me, back in the days but not now! Yes I know there although I didn’t really are jokes and we all joke about not being understand at the time. normal or I'm normal it's everyone else that isn't but seriously.... what is normal? I think it It was a chance reading by a is normal to speak to dead people but some good friend and Medium who people don't - is it because they just don't told me that I wasn’t going mad understand. Is it the people that actually don't and I indeed had a ‘gift’ which I speak to dead people are not normal? It's needed to start to nurture and interesting to turn the table around sometimes share. and play the Hangman tarot card! Anyway, let's get back to memories! so as I I am also Reiki 1 attunded, and was saying... (I have always warned you I have have a passion for crystals & a tendency to go off track!)... my first pendulums.. experience with a Medium! It was interesting and looking back it it spurred me on to where I Www.psychic-zone.webs.com am today and I know the people I have in my life I was guided to and blessed to have them as family. I don't have many friends in my life I learnt that lesson - but those that I do, I hold very dear to me. From that first Medium reading (only about 5 years ago), I then went on to research more and more, met Mandy & Stella (via Peter Wake at Psychic World thank you Peter!!!) and the rest is history! I would urge any of you that have just Daylight started out on your journeys to save all I must wait for the sunrise the readings and feedback you do - I I must think of a new life still look back on those very first ones, and whenever you get a bit of a And I musn't give in moment where you feel as if you are When the dawn comes not progressing, just go and look back Tonight will be a memory and you will see just how far you have too come!

IAN DOHERTY Spiritualist Medium & Aura Expert
hen writing on the topic of mediumship and psychic discernment it is an important factor that a person’s thoughts and feelings have an equal balance. This is where the logical processes inherent within the brain meet with the emotional self and are to certain extents at loggerheads as the rational can outweigh the subliminal and vice versa as the congruency of thought is fettered by beliefs. There is therefore a need to investigate both sides of the coin and thus achieve a more balanced outcome as to what a person is discerning. It is I feel fair to say that we each at times need to hear from a loved one or see within an image a reflection of a loved one, to know that “they” are around, that they love us still, as this indeed warms the heart and instills hope, especially amid the darkness of despair. The question that needs to be asked however is this: do we follow blindly either through an emotional need or through the lack of knowledge of what we perceive, or do we seek a balance and seek further understanding? This is where balance is needed for ignorance breeds the fraudulent medium, not with any intent to do so but through a lack of understanding, ignorance of the law for example is not a defense. Mediumship and psychic abilities both utilise the brain, hence the term mental mediumship, as such an understanding of how the brain works, particularly when discerning images is an important point to note. We have all at one time or another seen the shape of a dog or dinosaur in the clouds as they pass over us, or seeing images in patterned fabrics and stains upon the wall. What is occurring here is termed Pareidolia linked to the term apophenia - whereby the brain tries to make sense of the seemingly random patterns, in the image we are viewing, a stain on a wall for example, we instead see faces and figures, with each person seeing similar or more often than not, a totally different visage; that in itself suggests randomness. The topic of orbs brings much consternation and too involves Pareidolia and apophenia as people report seeing the images of people within the orbs themselves. Science has played a key role in refuting orbs that are caught on camera as being in anyway linked to psychic phenomenon, and more so as a result of the camera. Notably orbs were not a topic of discussion before the advent of the digital camera; neither do they appear on the old 35mm format films. Another sensitive topic is that of feathers, and again borne largely from the need to feel we are not alone. In many native beliefs, feathers are thought to be the connection between humans and the spirit world. Perhaps they’re sacred because they come from birds—and birds, in some cultures, are considered to be messengers between Heaven and Earth.
W
Many cultures have a belief between a connection between us and the spirit world, birds especially due to their ability of flight were considered to be closer to the Gods and thus messengers from our family in spirit. The largely Christian belief in Angels having wings made of feathers helps to reinforce this belief. The logical needs to be addressed here, for there are millions of birds that fly our skies and thus it is logical to assume that whether feathers are dropped through pluming or natural loss. Feathers are designed to be very light and hollow; the finer parts of the feather linked together to best catch the air and provide lift. Would it not therefore be fair to state that regardless of where a feather was dropped, it could be carried for miles in any direction from whence it was dropped? As such we could be walking along and thinking of a loved one, our hearts either full with sorrow or lifted with joy at memories we once shared, and then we come across a feather, and through our emotional need we want so much to belief it was from them. Your heart would undoubtedly say yes, what of the logical self however? For through reasoned thought the mathematical probabilities alone would heavily favour the chances of finding a feather outdoors as mere randomness. That being said, when sat indoors, windows and doors shut to the outside and discounting eiderdowns and feather filled cushions, should a feather appear suddenly at your feet, seemingly out of thin air, the logical mind has to accept that no matter how improbable the cause communication by way of an apport (the transference of an object from one location to another) has taken place. This brief document has been written with the intent, not to change belief, more so to question our belief, through both logic and emotions – in the words of Albert Einstein, “ ”.

f one thing came up more than any other over the last few years is people asking about what their true path is. Also, many seem to have re-occurring cycles in their lives, almost the same things happening over and over again. I have delved deeply into a new cycle of learning, and have taken on board working out who I am and why I am here, it’s not an easy task, but……by looking at yourself and learning from your past you can make the future the way it should be. We all have a past and many of us will learn by our mistakes, some more so than others, but the danger here it holding onto unnecessary clutter or past memories that limit our progression and future, you may all of heard of the saying “Once bitten twice shy” taken quite literally. If you helped an wild animal in pain and it bit you, the next time you encounter a similar event you would think twice about helping, because you remember what happened on the last occasion, that is a logical reaction, but some are not as clear cut. For instance, you may have had a bad relationship, and it ended badly the person in this example may have had dark hair and had the star sign of Leo. The next relationship you have is with a fair haired person but when they tell you they are Leo you shy away and limit your own possible happiness, again because of a past experiences. This kind of reaction has no logic and will limit you until you shed this unnecessary connection from the past. If we are to continually learn and grow, there are two necessary conditions: gratitude and detachment. The gratitude is being thankful for whatever is in your life, good and bad, for it is there as a teacher. Some situations feel like a punishment and make you question why they're happening to you. What did you do to deserve this in your life? It's not so much about deserving it, but rather to recognize patterns that are continually repeated. Once you learn the lesson inherent in the situations, these patterns will cease to exist. The detachment is there to remove the emotional attachment you feel for the person or situation and to be able to more objectively view the situation. This does not mean you no longer care
I
for the person, just look at your relationship almost as an outsider. In this way, you are more likely to see the lesson than if you are reacting emotionally. These are not easy lessons to learn, and they require much practice. It may take a while, but the effort is extremely worthwhile. Different aspects and experiences converge to create an overall picture of who you are and what your place is in the world. Once you find yourself in the proper context, life no longer feels like a struggle. Not to say that no more struggles will occur. Conflict is inevitable, both internally and externally. It is our reactions to these struggles that define us as a person. By understanding ourselves, we can increase trust in the decisions we make and the paths we choose to follow. Each of us must find their own way of connecting to the Universe. I encourage you to read about a variety of spiritual paths and journeys and see what feels right to you. It may be that the combination of several will create what you seek. By virtue of the fact that you are seeking an answer to this type of question indicates that you have already begun your spiritual journey and, in fact, have always been on a spiritual quest. Setbacks will occur periodically, no matter how far down the path you may find yourself. They are put in your way to teach lessons and gain knowledge about yourself and to test your strength and resolve. You may choose to view setbacks as unnerving scenarios that are depressing and anxiety provoking, or as exciting opportunities to overcome adversity and be a much stronger person as a result. It is up to you which path you follow. As a final thought : If you are given two boxes and asked to choose either one, which should you pick? They are both the same size and colour and look identical……. So you pick one….. You open the box and find it contains some money. Do you think wow that’s great and go off happy or ………. Do you wonder what was in the other box?
PETER WAKE Tarot Reader
I first picked up a pack of Tarot cards back in 1978 but after trying to use them gave it up as a bad job, it wasn’t until 1981 that the interest sparked again and this time it was the cards that I saw being used that intrigued me, I bought some and since then have used the same deck of cards for nearly every reading (yes I still use them, dog eared and worn but cherished and loved). I learnt the cards the correct way and have since done hundreds of readings, online, by email, face to face and in groups of up to 11 people, but over the last 10 years I have been using a more intuitive approach and very rarely use the traditional meanings for the cards, giving a more in depth reading and insights which would otherwise been passed by. I’m not a great one for titles but ‘Psychic Clairvoyant’ probably describes what I do ‘Psychic’ because most intuitive readings are just that ….psychic and ‘Clairvoyant’ which actually means ‘to see’ because that’s how i get a lot of my insights, with visions. I went on to train in mediumship and have worked as a Medium and done everything from working on platform to investigations. Have also trained as Reiki healer and I now teach t arot as well as psychic development workshops. http://www.psychicvisions.org

In Being You & Centered in today's demanding times.
beneath you will reconnect you so you can feel yourself back in your own energy to continue your day with clarity and clearer mind feeling more focused and energised .
You time is very important no matter how busy or jam packed your daily routine is, by finding that quiet part of your day whether it is grabbing that cup of coffee and spending some time gathering your thoughts and preparing for the day ahead or a relaxing drink in the evening to then enjoy time to unwind with some much needed down time, to feel recharged and uplifted. Remember your boundaries and know what you can comfortably take on, especially in demanding situations. If you find yourself constantly being the giver then we can feel drained and tired if some around us take. Balance and be open to receive. Allow simple things even favours between family and friends to be a two way street and be aware of your own personal boundary - know when to take a healthy step back to then receive.
Parenting comes with many many different roles, which usually involve time spent on more practical matters but it's great to find some fun time where we can enjoy the lighter side to parenting. Happy Mum's make happy families and children thrive off happiness & positivity. Also it's great how we can almost experience it like a form of regression and to reconnect with our true selves and shed any worry or tension we may have. Find time for some play time!
Don't carry too much, share the load, delegate! It's all too easy to isolate or remote ourselves and to be on a mission, but when we do this we find it hard to let and allow others in. Perhaps even finding ourselves push help away? Focusing on keeping things simple does help to reprogramme us and to lighten our burdens to cause an Whether your working on psychic/spiritual development or energy shift and reach a healthy balance, feeling lighter just needing to "un plug" and spend 10-15 mins quality time and making things more manageable. When you feel things are a struggle monitor if you are allowing others in to breath, relax, clear and ease the mind. I find morning a or causing this to be blocked. good time, but routine depending you may prefer to meditate at the end of your day. Mediation is the perfect way to unwind and if developing the perfect way to build and create the right space and environment to link and Affirmations are a fantastic way to allow key positive connect with spirit. words to be easily digested in our consciousness and in a way sink into and trough us on many levels helping to make shifts and movement to occur.

Focusing on say, How valuable communication is and to book in the the words "I am confident" for example, will help you feel opportunity to spend time with good friends to chat and confident.

If feeling insecure "trust " would be a fabulous affirmation. A word written on a post it note, placing them experiencing and to compare notes, giving and receiving around the home is a fun and positive way to be on the helpful insight and advice. road to positive thinking. Again, this can be a drain to try and please others this can occur in any area whether your a parent or in the work place to run and seek approval this if not returned can be draining. Pull your energy in and prioritise and do what feels right and good for you.
If your working on your psychic development or enjoying a little dabble in this field the major key is trust, trusting not only what you receive but trusting yourself. Keeping a journal is a wonderful tool for logging your daily activities, to development, it shows you how you progress, and an excellent way to record your experiences and thoughts, Always feeling rushed off your feet and never sit down? writing how you feel, your current situations, can put you in Running on a flat battery, feel spaced ? Spend a moment to the zone, in a way, stepping out of your own way to sit in the garden or any nature spot and have your feet suddenly see solutions. So whether enjoying your spiritual firmly on the ground visualise your connection to you and path of development or just needing somewhere to poor the Earth, immerse in nature, absorb the energy, visualise out your heart, keeping a journal is a fantastic way to roots from your feet moving swiftly through the earth achieve this and aiding you in trusting your thoughts and going deeper. Really connect with the environment around what is given to you. you. Stuck in an office? Then even feet feeling the ground

It looked at me funny and walked back inside saying I was was nice to be a member of a page where I was not being ‘freaking her out’ so i just went back inside and left it at that. judged and called crazy. At this stage I took it upon me to tell The next day I saw the people who lived in that house and just my family (mum, dad and sisters and mother–in–law) about had a general conversation with them to which i bought this what my ability is. At first they were not so accepting but when child up who was stood at the window. They told me then they they realised that this is what I have chosen to do then they didn’t have any young children! There has been many an have stood by me and realised that my heart is set on doing occasion like the above in my life and all through it but there is this and helping others. too many to share I would go on forever on that! I then realised meditation was key and I knew I had to go I ‘'woke up’’ 7 months ago. I originally joined a group on down this route to learn how to relax my mind. At first I really Facebook through my personal page to see if I could get a struggled on how to block out my active part of my brain to message from a lost loved one, so I posted the picture and allow it to quieten to connect to the sub-conscious. It was then waited. It took rather a long while as this group was a very I took it upon me to meet my guides. This was the first thing I large so I expected to wait but in the mean time i joined in with wanted to progress on. I wanted to meet who was guiding me the chat on the page and made myself acquainted with some and build a relationship. What triggered this off is a gentleman people on there as I knew it would make it more likely for me drawing one of my guides for me.. this was my ‘’healing guide’’ to get a reading if I ‘joined in.’ One night I logged on there and called Imbotu who was an African tribesman healer in his last saw a picture. I got all these feelings off this picture I could not carnation, but the main reason i wanted to meet my guides, explain so I spoke to some people on this page who knew what my main guide, was due to a circumstance I came under where the whole ‘mediumship’ thing was about. Before then I had my ‘guide’ was drawn for me who was not my guide. This, with only seen spirit and sensed them around me nothing like what I the help of Mandy I delivered the message to the right person

and it was the first time I got a spirit to get drawn in to me to deliver a message. It was then Stella told me a lot of information about my guide which I was gobsmacked by so this gave me the overall drive to meet her! So I looked up ways to meet my guides. I know this is a place where a lot of people struggle and I did struggle. It took me the best of 6 weeks to find a guided meditation (as at the time i couldn’t queiten my mind on my own as this was still new to me) and eventually I found one. Marie, as I now know her, only gave me her name the first time I connected to her and showed me some colours during meditation but never showed herself to me. I knew once I had got this information it was a massive step for me and I was intrigued to find out more. So I meditated 3 or 4 times a week to do so. I personally was opening up a lot more and then realised my clairs were coming more apparent. I knew I had clairsentient and clairvoyant but now clairaudient was coming into realisation for me. Now this at first really confused me as I could hear as what I can only describe as ‘voices in my head’ and didn’t dare tell many people about it as if they didn’t think i was weird. I had to look up more into this and ask questions to make it a known realisation to myself what I was actually experiencing. It was only when I realised it was ‘normal’ in mediumship I opened up that side to people. My clairs started getting stronger and also I started to realise I was an empath. When I figured this out it explained a lot about my life, why I would cry at little things, why I had to turn the channel off things on tv such as the news etc., why I would go in to a supermarket and feel overwhelmed and come out in a bad mood! All things I had experienced all my life but never had the answer as to why! Now I knew. I suppose I can say more and more I began to realise that this is my life’s path and that mediumship is what I am born to do! Over the next month or so I began to try and build a relationship with my main guide otherwise known as a ‘ as well as practicing on my readings. I could tell they were getting stronger and I could feel more. I can feel how a person passed sometimes, for instance for me if some one has passed over with a heart attack the feeling I feel is that my heart hurts and beats really fast! Quite scary when I first experienced it! During this time I would like to share with you one particular spirit who came to me who has left a massive imprint in my progression and I still feel to this day. If I didn’t have the help of Mandy and Joanne, I would of quite possibly blocked myself off. One day I was scrolling through pictures on one of the groups I was on and came across a picture of a gentleman. Automatically I felt sad emotions around him but it came to light that this gentleman had took his own life. I started off feeling ok so I went to continue with the reading - little did I know more was to come! I was confused on how to word the information I had been given off this particular spirit so I went to Joanne for some help. I asked her how to word what I had got knowing it was a sensitive subject and had to be worded in a empathetic way. I inboxed Joanne and then all of a sudden I was overcome with emotion and I physically started crying. I broke down in tears which is more a way to describe and didn’t know what was happening. This gentleman had given me a fair bit of information but I couldn’t calm myself down to get any more. With the help of Mandy and Joanne I realised how and why I felt the way I did. I had a spirit who had come to me who took his own life. The emotions were explained to me why I felt like I did and it was explained that if I was not ready to ask my guide not to let any more through at this time till I was ready, and my guide had abided by this. As mentioned this is a very particular thing that has stood out in my development so far and I feel that if many people knew the emotions they would go through when a spirit comes to them of this kind for the first time to be prepared. As it is emotional. Continuing in this time to meet my gatekeeper. I was given some information about her off of Stella, this made me even more determined to meet her! I tried for weeks to connect with her but nothing was happening. I began to think i was doing something wrong, I was trying guided meditations and none of them seemed to be working. One night I was actually in the bath and began to relax and i just closed my eyes. As I usually do in the bath as its my ‘me time’ and then I saw a beautiful green/blue colour! With this I felt a feeling of love, I asked her
her name and she told me ‘Marie’. It took me around 6 weeks to get even a name from me starting to meditate.. about nearly 2 weeks after I had received some information about her off Stella. I was shocked and it all began to feel so much more real for me. I then took it upon me to find out the calling sign of her, so again I would meditate and ask her to show me her calling sign. This turned out to be a cobweb feeling on the lower half of my face that is like (the only way I can describe it) a running itch. She had and still does have a habit of coming to me when I am just going to bed! I continued to practice my readings allowing for help when given and i was led to ‘Angel cards’ so I purchased ‘ When I received them I cleansed them and transferred my energy into them following the book of what I was meant to do and started practicing with them. At first I used the book to help with the guidance but then after a couple readings it felt like i was being told what to write for each individual person for each card that was pulled! I still do them on the side now. I started to believe that my development was growing quickly. When I was just getting used to one thing spirit would change it and introduce another. One morning I woke up and all day Marie kept saying to me ‘ Now I had never heard of this so I had to seek some advice on it and why she kept saying it to me, I was told to grab a pen and paper. That night I did. I am left handed so instinctively held the pen in my left hand and nothing was happening. I changed hands to my right hand – I cannot whatsoever write with my right hand. I relaxed and asked Marie where she was from felt my hand moving, writing something, I continued to let it go till my hand stopped and looked. It spelt out the word ‘ ’ - a word I have never heard of before so I put a line through it as I thought it was not right. Then something came over me to google the word I had written, so i did. I must state here I already knew Marie was from a small village east of Paris. It turned out when I googled this word ‘ is a small village east of Paris! I was gobsmacked to say the least! I knew this was a new stage for me and i was so happy to have reached another level in my development. During this time my Clairaudient was getting stronger and I could begin to ‘hear’ a lot better and messages I felt were clearer to pass on. People had said to me that spirit pay you back for all the good doing that you do.. I never believed this till it happened to me! I would love to share this story, it is personal to me but it is something I want to share because it really does show that spirit do love you and will give back. One night during meditation, Marie came forward and was just saying the odd word to me, I had been thinking about my angel baby Grace quite a bit at that time. I asked Marie if she was ok. All of a sudden a little girl stepped towards me clear as day! Lovely dark hair big dark eyes it was amazing. I asked Marie if this was Grace to which she replied yes! I almost automatically got the soft colour yellow and felt a warm sensation on my cheek, it was Grace holding me. I could feel tears rolling down my cheek with happiness, never in my wildest dreams did I think I would meet my little girl who was wrongly taken from me almost 7 years ago! But here she was there holding me, a feeling I cannot begin to explain. She was with me for what felt like forever but was only a few minutes and then before she went back to the light she said 8 words I will treasure for the rest of my life: ‘ hen I came up from meditation I sat and cried for a couple minutes as I couldn’t believe what had happened, I even questioned if it was real. I turned to Mandy for advice and she informed me it was real and this is spirit giving back to me. Since then I feel Grace around me a lot, I see the colour soft yellow, and I know she plays with my children, it was like this has opened my eyes to her presence. So this shows that practice and persistance does pay off. Thank you for taking your time to read this and there will be more of my development in the next issue. LOVE AND LIGHT

If you have read all of our Editions so far you will now understand The Fool, The Magician, The High Priestess and now the Empress… Stella and Jo take you through their interpretations of each Tarot card to help you interpret the wonderful world of Tarot!!! They would love to hear your interpretations too… so talk to us!
All is right with the world!!! This is the mother of all the Tarot Cards! Hands up if you can relate to this card maybe your own mother (hand up) or someone who has been a mothering influence in your life.... I do relate to The Empress but I'm not quite sure that I could ever say that I have a lot of the characteristics of her - well perhaps but I don't think anyone would ever describe me as 'mumsy'! They may call me Mum but only due to the amount of nagging that I do - Stella and Mandy - you can put your hands down!!!! As you know there are so many different depictions, albeit a lot of them are similar as they are based on the Rider Waite, of the Empress it always depends on which Tarot Deck you are reading from. However, it does not shy away from the fact that The Empress just flows with loving feminine energy. She is a home maker, emotional and in touch with nature. Look at the crown she has on her head - the 12 stars represent the 12 star signs which represents again that The Empress understands the circle of life. If the Empress is present in a reading, again depending on the question and position, she means various things. Personally I don't read cards upside down - that is my preference - doesn't mean if you do it's wrong! It could be a pregnancy (although the Rider Waite decks do not show her as pregnant) - it doesn't necessarily mean a baby - it could mean a puppy! In all seriousness (I'm not sure I can do serious!) it could mean a new job, a new journey - a new birth of something in your life. Interestingly enough The Empress is number 3. In numerology 3 represents growth, but again highlights the circle of life that The Empress protects... birth, life, death; beginning, middle and end and of course past, present, future. According to The Rule of Three in Wicca it states that whatever energy a person puts out into the world, be it positive or negative, will be returned to that person three times. If you look at the Empress look how content she is feeling... but look closely.. does she look like she wants to get up off her seat? I feel as if she wants to get up and dance and celebrate life! She is in a good place at this particular moment and wants to soak the Universal rays up. There's almost a sense of 'hippiness' with her! Don't you feel as if you just want to dance with her and soak up the warm energy that the card holds. If you look at where we have come, the Fool naively sets out on a course, the magician gives him the tools, the High Priestess tells him to trust his instincts and the Empress actually provides the start of what is going to happen - the birth! If this reading was about you as a person (and it relates to both men and women!!!) it would say that you are a 'mumsy' person - people are drawn to you to ask your advice. How do you feel she would give it to you... I feel as if she would be the sympathetic person that would
do it gently... certainly not like me! Nevertheless they come to you because they trust your opinion and know that what is said would always be kept private. It would also symbolise that you work in a caring profession nursing, doctor, carer, volunteer, advocacy work, healing work. It also would say that you do best with nature meditation in the open air would be powerful. Family holidays are important to you as are family gatherings. I don't feel that the Empress would get stressed though you would take it all in your stride - not me again! Perhaps the negative side to the card (if there is one) is that there is a tendency to be smothered - maybe you feel smothered too much or you are doing it to others.... If you look at The Empress, most of the images depict her sitting in a corn field. This links her with Demeter, who is the Greek Goddess of the harvest (Her Grandmother was Gaia, the personification of Earth). Interesting Demeter is often depicted very similarly to The Empress often crowned and holding sheaf's of wheat and and a torch. Demeter also presided also over the sanctity of marriage, the sacred law, and the cycle of life and death just like the Empress does as I mentioned previously. Demeter's virgin daughter Persephone (Zeus - the father of the Gods - & Poseidon were her fathers) was abducted to the underworld by Hades (Demeter's brother). Demeter was stricken with grief but did not stop searching for her. She laid a curse on the world to stop the seasons and as a consequence living things started to die. Zeus sent Hermes (Messenger to the Gods) to the underworld to bring Persephone back. Hades agreed to release her, but had already given her a pomegranate (again, linked closely to The Empress as her dress is decorated in pomegranate) which she ate claim and therefore laid claim on her. Therefore, it was decreed that Persephone would spend four months each year in the underworld. During these months Demeter grieves her daughters absence, and withdraws her gifts from the world, creating winter. Her return brought the spring.
Jo The Empress is a woman who knows her own power. She uses her intuition wisely and knows that it is a good thing to share her knowledge with others. She is a figure of wisdom and compassion and often embodies the elements of ‘Mother’ when she appears in a spread. She is going through her life with all of her needs currently being met and the opportunity to enjoy the abundance that surrounds her. This abundance could mean wealth, love or beautiful time spent with friends and family. She is a very attractive figure and you may find that others find you attractive at the time she appears in the spread. The Empress is the one that others come to for advice and is

often surrounded by people who look up to her and seek to be taken under her umbrella of care. In the deck of cards that I use, the Empress is represented by a pregnant woman, and her appearance can herald a time of fertility, in all areas of your life. If you do not want to have children at this time, it is a good idea to take precautions to prevent it, because of this abundant fertility. If you are ready to build a different kind of baby, perhaps a personal business venture or hobby, then now is an excellent time to do that, and to trust your intuition when doing so. It will be a time when listening to your inner guidance will open more doors for you and lead to further abundance in your life. She can also represent your relationship with your own Mother, and it may be time to reflect on how you interact with her. Are you being fair to her and acknowledging all that she does for you and others, and listening to her advice to you. Her years of experience do count for a lot, and listening to her words of wisdom could help you in your own life. The Empress represents a time when life is good, and ideas are plenty. There is however a danger in getting so caught up in the good things that you can easily forget to put something back into the kitty for use later. So she is a reminder to think of the future and to use some of today’s abundance to set you up for possible leaner days in the future. Remember to put something back, and to not squander all that you currently have, life may not always be this rewarding for you and you will need something to fall back on, should your luck turn for the worse. The Empress represents the cycles that we go though, from good times to bad times, just like the crops in the field, when they yield a good harvest all is well, but it is important to put some of the seeds back for next planting season or we will be very badly off when it comes to harvest time again. Enjoy the good times in life, but do not forget that nothing lasts forever, good or bad, the cycles change and we have to be ready for every eventuality, using our intuition and wisdom to ‘Mother’ ourselves a little, as well as those around us.

he first card I have chosen for Cheeky Angel readers is Hamaliel, the Angel of the sign of Virgo and says: Give thanks for I bring from heaven the bright light of infinite love which I shower upon you. I will enhance your relationships and my energy will smooth your life path, allowing you to experience relaxation, tranquility, balance and harmony. Hamaliel enhances interactive skills at home and work; in all day-to-day relationships and helps to develop a natural ability to meet people who are beneficial to your life and will help to develop maturity and wisdom. With intelligence and patience, you must plan your day to spend moments with the angels who will bring guidance, intuition, beauty and kindness into your life. Hamaliel provides further words of support: Let me come to your aid over the course of the coming month. There is much to be done by those, like yourself, who are filled with the desire to help others. I am here to nurture you, to nudge you to make contact with people of the past who have love in their heart, and also to help you make new friends who will carry kindness forward. In the synergy of love, as you assist them, they will aid your evolution on the Path of Light. Hamaliel has been described as the Angel of action and of disciplined commitment as these values lead to a productive life. This Angel helps us to complete tasks, develop relationships and increase our vitality and joy of life. To bring Hamaliel closer to you, write a poem, draw a picture or just call the name of this angel, 'Ham - al - i - el' I call to you to come to me. I give thanks for all the wonderful people that I have in my life. My harvest is very great." Make a list of all the many blessings that you have in you life; your health, family and friends, home, education, work, community and society, the trees, the creatures of the skies, earth and seas. Hamamiel, as Angel of the Harvest has particular attributions, including the colours of the harvest; rich golden browns, russet reds and bright yellows. Hamamiel gives guidance on nutritional matters as it bestows a sense of proportion on all we do, so we do not do anything to excess. Ask Hamamiel to give information

on what our body requires by performing this exercise: Hold a pendulum over a list of vitamins and minerals and ask for advice as to which might be required. This Angel can also help you to choose the correct time to sort out problems. Many issues do not go away if left unattended and will cause anxiety. If you are excessive about details, ask this angel to help you get a perspective on the situation – the big picture is the one to look for. The second card is the ‘Guardian Angel of Service’ brings divine grace to all who give their lives to the service of helping others. It holds a dove of peace and helps to make this planet a happier and easier place to live. It looks after and blesses all those who give service to friends, family, neighbours, community or who do charitable work of whatever kind. It offers energy inspiration, contacts and resources to our world. Those who give to others are richly blessed by this Angel and if you pray to this Angel, you will be supported. Service towards the welfare of others is the most effective way to participate in life and has the highest authority of all the Angels. The third is Torquaret, the Angel of Autumn and says “In a silver drift of frost-rimmed leaves I come, swirling and eddying in the autumn wind that can blow away your past. In my season there is great beauty of colour and form, but this is also a time for personal reckoning”. Throughout the harvest season, we review whether our spring and summer plantings have born fruitfulness. What you wisely planted in spring, if correctly nurtured, will have brought success. This is the season, when we take stock and build, it is a time of consolidation. We cleanse the disappointments of the past, sweeping them away like the autumn leaves. Prune out that which is of no use, make a bonfire of any sadness or patterns that are not productive. This is the time of reaping and also for planning for winter, a time of rest and recharging and preparation for planting next spring. Let this angel support your efforts.

e all have the ability to connect with our Angels and/or spirit, however it seems that the guidance we receive is sometimes forgotten as quickly as it is given. Automatic writing or journaling is great way to keep your memory of the guidance you received. It is also a great way to go back and reflect on what information was shared with you from the Angels and/or spirit. When we receive guidance it is important to remember the essence of the message, may it be a short message or a long message. The essence of the message is the most important part as it guides us on the issues we are facing. It doesn’t always give us direct instructions on how to live our lives it gives us a gentle nudge in the direction we need to follow. The first step in automatic writing/journaling is meditation. We must be in a meditative state to hear the guidance of our Angels and/or spirit. My instructions for meditating are as follows: Keep a pen and a journal close by. Relax. Place your feet flat on the floor. Close your eyes. Take in 4 deep breaths: Repeat the following in your mind: Inhale light and love. Exhale stress and tension. Feel the support of the chair you are sitting on. Feel the floor with your feet. Feel your feet on the floor. Feel the support of the floor. Know that you are always supported. Once you are grounded you can cross your legs or move to a position that feels comfortable to you. Continue to breathe.
W
When thoughts appear: 1. Drop it in a leaf and watch it float down a river 2. Place it in a cloud, watch it disperse and drift away 3. Name it as a thought and bring your mind back to your breath. Continue to breathe. Feel the support of the universe, knowing you are fully taken care of and provided for. Ask the question you seek the answer to; wait for the answer. Once you receive your answer, bring your awareness back to the room by clinching your fists. Then pick up your pen and start to write. Just write down all that comes to your mind. If nothing is coming to your mind in the form of words, write down a description of what you experienced in your meditation. Keep all your writings in one journal and make that your sacred journal that you can refer back to time and time again when you need to remember the guidance that was given to you. Automatic writing or journaling has so many benefits to offer, you never know what you are going to receive from your Angels or Spirit so it’s always a great idea to keep a memoir of your guidance. I have received poems, predictions and inspirational guidance on some

important life events. Also, it’s a great idea to track the outcome of when you followed the guidance or your angels or spirit to when you decided not to follow your guidance. You can then see what decisions you have made and how it’s effected your life and the outcomes of the decisions. Every meditation is a journey to your higher self, so why not capture your memories. Just like any physical journey we embark on we take pictures to savour the memories so why not journal the memories of our spiritual journey’s. You never know what your Angels have in store for you, you may be writing a book or a series of poems that you aren’t even aware you are writing. Happy journaling!

business has grown slowly and steadily so that I still maintain a personal connection to each bottle that is made and can continue to put the energy and focus on each one so that they keep their magick. Holistic health care has changed over the years that I have been involved in it. Acceptance and use of alternate healing in Australia is huge. Many more people are asking questions and taking control of their health and wellbeing. It's great to be a part of it.
I asked Karmina how she started her journey into alternate healing with plants. My family has always grown flowering plants, even when things were tough on the farm there were always flowers about, so the appreciation for looking after plants has been there since an early age. One of the first houses I rented as a young adult had a beautiful herb garden established. I was hooked! I had to find out what they all were and what you could use them for. From that point on I always had a herb garden where ever I lived even if it was just a few pots. My love for plants has just expanded through my studies as I learnt different ways of using them and as I learned to connect with them myself, I realised what patient and gentle healers they are. I have been making vibrational essences for about 20 years, these include crystal, elemental, angelic and flower essences. Over that time they have evolved as my connection to the elemental kingdom has grown stronger and the information clearer. I asked Karmina about how she incorporates all of the different healing modalities that she is using. Even this seems to be something she has considered as she has gained knowledge and experience in all of the different aspects. I find that the Flower Essences and Healing Mists work beautifully on their own; they are a gentle healing modality in themselves. However, when I use them with kinesiology we get a deeper more personal healing on many levels, as kinesiology helps to fine tune the exact Mist or Essence and the best place for each person to use it. It makes it a really individual treatment. I like to work in a personal way with each mist or essence, so they are all handmade, bottled, labeled, and delivered by me. So Elemental Mists as a
I use and love Karmina’s flower essences and have been working closely with her over the last year to develop a range of my own vibrational mists, with her expertise and knowledge at the core of the product. As I only have knowledge of how the process has worked with this product, I was interested to find out what is the general path from go to was when making a new essence or mist. Each essence is different and the journey is always full of wonder, sometimes a particular flower catches my eye and I have to spend some time with it in meditation, learning about the way that they want to interact with us for healing. Sometimes I will have a particular issue that needs to be solved and once I start to meditate on that, a particular flower will come to mind and the process starts that way. Sometimes the process only takes a few weeks, sometimes I need to observe the plant over a few seasons to see the changes and really understand it growing process before I can make and essence. Most of the plants that I use come from my own yard. One of my philosophies is that all we need for our healing will be easily within reach, so I look to my garden first. I also work with and observe the plants over a season as this deepens my understanding of how they adapt to changing seasons and gives me new inspiration as to how I can use them. Sometimes a particular flower will come into my awareness from someone else's place and that can lead to a wild adventure where a co-creative mist is developed with myself and the other person. The Stellar Moon Mists are a great example of this kind of journey. Which part of the plant is used to get the essence? The essence can be any part of the plant and will have a different vibration from a flower essence. I have made some essences with seeds, leaves and stems and they are very different as the parts of the plant used have very different purposes in the plant. Why flower essences? Flower essences and mists have a special affinity with the emotional body. We all know how we feel when someone gives a bunch of flowers; instantly our emotional body is affected our spirit is lifted. As humans we go to great lengths to grow, transport and bring flowers into our homes and lives, to give, as heartfelt gifts to those we love or those we feel need comfort.

Flowers invoke strong emotions, and produce strong vibrational change in the emotional body. This is the area they work through to produce changes in our other energy fields, whether mental or physical. I would love to see a sharing of philosophies on health. There are great parts in every healing tradition. I would love people to be able to choose their treatment options from an informed position and be able to use the options from any modality that really resonated with them for their unique healing. So many of my treatments are about helping my clients deal with stress: helping them to cope with an overload on the nervous system. Sometimes we cannot change the stress but we can support the body to work through it. It always makes me think about the pressures we put on ourselves to perform, conform, change form, ride out the storm, reform, and transform. In my ideal world we would all just have to BE. Because we are all pretty awesome just the way we are. Until then, flower essences can help bring some gentle healing to these coping mechanisms.
STELLA WARE
Psychic Tarot Reader, Reiki Healer and Teacher.
I have been reading the Tarot for the major part of my adult life, at least the last 23 years or so, and I am happiest when I am reading for a client, when I can see that I have in some small or large way helped them to cope with their perceived problems. My journey in this life is to be of assistance to others and to help them grow & learn, this in turn allows me to help myself in the same way. I am lucky to have some amazing Guides of my own, both in the Spirit world and here on Earth. With the wisdom of others & the ability to filter out the things I need and the things that do not serve me, I have seen big progress in my Spiritual journey and have gained acceptance of the things in my life that have been sent to try me. My other passion is healing. I am a Usui Reiki Master but also have studied, and been attuned to many other healing modalities. When healing, I think it is important to work on every part of the problem, the ethereal, the physical and the emotional; all play a part in manifesting disease in the body. With the use of the Reiki energy this is achieved. With Tarot and Reiki, I feel I have wonderful tools to assist and ease the burdens of others. I am excited to be part of this magazine, because it is a platform for many wonderful points of view and also for learning and sharing.

he Guarani (pronounced Gau ra nee) Indians who live deep in the Amazon jungle of central Brazil have used this ancient (over 6,000 years old) energy based Shamanic Healing technique for generations. For those of you who have watched the movie 'The Mission', these are the tribe that featured among the movie. They are one of the oldest cultures still in existence in the world today. The Guarani people's spiritual attitude has been influenced greatly through learning from their environment. Ama Deus (pronounced Amma day uss) healing is a way of life for these people. They believe that spirit and forces outside the spirit cause imbalances. It is rooted in their belief system that there is no illness! If the outside force or unwanted energy is removed, than balance may be restored! Ama Deus is a powerful, energy-based natural healing technique. This system combine's the love of the divine with ancient multidimensional symbols. These ancient symbols act as a vehicle for this shamanic vibrational energy. Although similar to Reiki, as it balances out energy centres, Ama Deus is used for much more specialised actions when healing. As with Reiki and other energy healing modalities, Ama Deus can be sent over long distances. It can also be used with other methods of healing. Ama Deus can be used in many different ways, some of which are listed below:
T
YHealing for oneself and others Y Distance healing YEmotional & Physical healing YHealing for emergency situations YHealing for animals, birds and plants YHelping departed souls in their transition to the spirit world YPurification of food, water, medicines etc. YGaining insight and wisdom through dreams YSealing the aura YImproving mental clarity YDispelling negative energy YHelping babies make a smooth transition into the world and ground into their physical body YReceiving spiritual information during your dreams YRecollection of past lives/journeying in the Akashic Records YSupporting world leaders in making decisions that could affect the entire Earth YHealing the Earth
YExorcism The healing system was first brought to the West by Alberto Aguas, a third-generation Brazilian healer. His family lived among the Guarani people for generations. They provided the Guarani people with medical care as required and a mutual respect developed between the tribal shamans and the doctors. Through time the shamans began to share their system of healing. It was by this trusting relationship that this technique was passed on to Alberto Aguas. The Guarani people gave Alberto Aguas their blessing to pass on the knowledge of this magnificent Healing System. As the Guarani people have no form of written language, and Portuguese is the main language spoken in Brazil, Alberto Aguas decided to name the technique of healing 'Ama Deus' - meaning 'I love God' in Portuguese. There has been many references throughout the history books of different cultures working with the 'Light or love of the Universe'. In recent years there has been renewed interest in these energy-based healing techniques, as the practices and ancient knowledge of many of our indigenous people have become known to the rest of the world. "In everything I do, I try to bring healing to it." - Alberto Aguas Linzi - Marie Vairy is the founder of 'The Whispering of Spirits' page -www.facebook.com/The.Whispering.of.Spirits and website www. http://thewhisperingofspirits.yolasite.com/ offering readings, healing and Ama Deus training. She is a psychic medium with empathic abilities and a trained Ama Deus Shamanic healing master. She is an admin at 'Cheeky Angels Mediumship' and 'Mediumship & Training Centre' on facebook. "It has only been in the past few years that my spiritual journey has manifested. However looking back on my childhood there has been several occasions when unexplainable occurrences have occurred! I've had a tremendous learning curve these past few years and I know that my spiritual journey has only just begun. I have had some amazing inspirational mentors/teachers on my path already, who without I wouldn't be the person I am today!"

n the last edition I shared with you part of my journey with the Angels and Integrated Energy therapy (IET), so the theme of ‘Memories’ for this issue is spookily spot on – synchronicity or what? All I can say is, thank you Angels. For our bodies and energy fields hold the memories of everything that has ever happened to us, whether they were good or bad, joyful or traumatic. It never ceased to amaze me just how many of us are carrying so much trauma from childhood within us, and often these cellular memories have been brought through and also experienced in previous life times. You could say that life leaves it’s footprints on us, and how can those of us who are being prepared for ascension, actually ascend if we are carrying within us, the negative emotions, memories and baggage for this and so many other lifetimes? The results are like a damn blocking the free flow of the river, it becomes blocked and stagnant; just as our flow of life force energy becomes blocked or restricted. The result has the potential to result in illness and disease of a physical and/or mental nature, for the mind and the emotions do speak through the body. So what happened for me after experiencing a few sessions of IET, as I described to you last time? Well, I knew that I had to train in this amazing therapy, for I knew that mine will always be the path of service and I have a strong desire to help others. To cut a very long story short, I put out a call to the Angels, asking that if I was meant to train in this therapy, that the money would come to me with ease, and that I’d find a Master Instructor willing to train me. And yes, the Angels did help me! That Christmas, I was given the exact amount of money I needed to pay for the three day course (and it wasn’t cheap!), and the sister of the practitioner I’d had sessions with, offered to travel over from Ireland to train myself and a friend. The course was duly booked and organised and I was very excited to have the opportunity to be attuned to the energy and vibrations of my beloved Angels; and I put in for some leave from work so that I could attend. The day of the basic training arrived, I recall standing outside on this cold February morning whilst I let my dog out to attend to the calls of nature; and I felt quite nervous, yet I couldn’t quite get to grips with why. I stood there, pondering, examining those feeling as
I
they arose within me. After all, I had already been attuned to Reiki level two, and I couldn’t imagine the attunements would be that different. So what was the root cause of my anxiety? Then what I can only describe as my ‘knowing’ swept through my energy field, accompanied by a deep shiver, and I clearly heard the words “It’s because your soul knows that it will change your life so much.” And with that, a fluffy, white Angel feather drifted down into my field of vision, and landed at my feet. If that wasn’t a further confirmation that I was heading in the right direction, then I don’t know what was! The three day course was incredible; to spend that time devoted to working with the powerful angelic presences was so wonderful, that neither of us wanted the three days to end. Just to spend three days totally immersed in those energies…… Because there were only the two of us training, the Master Instructor said that she’d ensure that the both of us received a treatment from her, as a session with a Master Instructor (MI) is more powerful than that of a practitioner, as MI’s are attuned yet again to a higher vibration to enable them to attune and empower their students. My turn came on the final day, Advanced Training. Just to set the scene, the training was held in a room above a local pub, it was a very cold February day so of course, all the doors and windows were kept tight shut. I duly got comfortable on the couch, covered with a snug blanket as the MI got to work. I have always responded well to any form of healing, often going very deep as my body and soul accepted and welcomed the healing energies. On this occasion, I went so deep that my friend had been concerned that I was unconscious! When I ‘came back’ I felt quite spaced out and sat up slowly, swinging my legs over the edge of the therapy couch. Looking down, to the amazement of all of us, there on the floor right by the couch, was a large white, fluffy angel feather! Not only had they been present and channelled their healing energies through the MI, but they’d left me another sign that I was following their guidance and heading in the right direction; both on a personal level and a professional level. And what happened next? That dear reader, is a tale for another occasion. Many blessing to you all, and enjoy your connection and journey with the Angels.

Oracle Card Reader, Energy Healer & Tutor
Mantra: I feel Location: Belly Button area Sense: Taste Colour: Orange Crystal: amber & red jasper Spiritual connection: sexuality, relationships, creativity Physical connection: uterus, ovaries, large intestine Number: two Day: Tuesday Sweet fruits: melons, mangos, strawberries, passion fruit, oranges, coconut, etc. Honey Nuts: almonds, walnuts, etc. Spices: cinnamon, vanilla, carob, sweet paprika, sesame seeds, caraway seeds
Healing questions to ask after you do the warm up meditation, sit in a comfortable place and simply ask these questions to raise the energy. Don’t push for an answer, just ask and feed the energy of the question so that the shift and clearing can take place, it doesn’t need to be conscious or controlled just allow the question raise the vibration and hold the space for a shift to take place. Go to the questions that most relate to the parts of the base chakra you want help with. YWhat do I need to shift in order to create more fulfilling relationship? YWhat will it take to have better movements in my intestines? YWhat will it take to do to be more creative? YWhat will it take for my sexuality to be more in tune with my life? Enjoy this awareness and know that every message is a badge of empowerment.
I have always been intuitive and guided into all sorts of ‘lucky’ situations. I often find myself in the perfect place at the perfect time and all by ‘coincidence’. These coincidences I now see as sign posts in my life that I followed, they usually showed up as knowing’s or gut feelings (I now know that’s energy awareness). Through these things happening i believe it strengthened my awareness of energy. I have trained as a Rising Star, Access Consciousness Bars and Rahanni Practitioner. I teach natural Healing and Prema Birthing (a rebirth technique) classes. The classes I run take a natural form but always include important practical steps. Each participant not only learns about healing others but learns about who they are as a person. My angle is that s elf-awareness is the key to wellness and so everything I approach from one on one session’s to classes bares this in mind. Sessions can be done in person or distantly either way the benefits are as effective. Children also benefit from sessions as children now are so aware of energy the benefits are often surprisingly strong. All information can be found on: www.silewalsh.com

Greyfriars Kirk I’m going to stay in Scotland with our Sacred Sites tour… there may be a theme coming on for future Editions! I’m sure that many of you have heard the heartwarming story of Greyfriars Bobby. Greyfriars Bobby was a Skye Terrier who became known in 19th-century Edinburgh for spending 14 years guarding the grave of his owner John Gray until he died himself on 14 January 1872. There are a few variations to the story as well as a few, should we say, discussions into who the actual John Gray (Auld Jock) was, but the most famous of them is that Bobby was owned by John Gray, who worked for the Edinburgh City Police as a night watchman. His beat was in an area that included the Upper Cowgate, the Grassmarket, Greyfriars Kirkyard, Candlemaker Row, the grounds of Heriot’s Hospital and the Cattle Market. As a night watchman he needed to have watch dog and he chose Bobby who was only 6 months old. And from that day forward Bobby followed John Gray everywhere, they were inseparable. John Gray died of Tuberculosis in 1857. He was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard, the graveyard surrounding Greyfriars Kirk in the Old Town of Edinburgh. Bobby then became known locally, spending the rest of his life sitting on his master's grave. On the first night of the burial the gates were locked but in the morning Bobby was found lying on the grave. Unfortunately, the curator could not allow this as there was an order on the Kirk gates not permitting dogs. It happened again the second night…. Knowing that Bobby would not be moved the curator took pity on Bobby and looked after him as did the majority of the people in the area. Greyfriars Tolbooth and Highland Kirk is an important Kirk as it was the first Church built in Edinburgh after the Reformation. It was named after the Franscian Friary that had been built nearby almost 200 years earlier (the monks were known as the "Grey Friars" because of the colour of their habits). As there was no more burial spaces left in the area Mary Queen of Scots gave permission to the council to use the grounds around Greyfriars Kirk as burial grounds. It has seen its fair share of bloodshed as it became home to a barracks for Cromwell's forces and in 1679, around 1,200 Covenanters were imprisoned in Greyfriars Kirkyard following the defeat of the militant Covenanters at Bothwell Brig. In the 18th century, part of this field was amalgamated into the churchyard as vaulted tombs the area became known as the "Covenanters' Prison". The Covenanters were Scottish Presbyterians who signed the National Covenant in 1638 to confirm their opposition to the interference by the Stuart Kings in the affairs of the Church of Scotland. The Battle of Bothwell Bridge, or Bothwell Brig, took place on 22 June 1679. It was fought between government troops and militant Presbyterian Covenanters, and signalled the end of their brief rebellion. The battle took place at the bridge over the River Clyde in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire near Bothwell in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The prisoners were taken to Edinburgh and held on land beside Greyfriars Kirkyard, an area now known as the Covenanters' Prison. Many remained there for several months, until the last of them were transported to the colonies in November. All those who had taken part on the Covenanter side of the battle were declared rebels and traitors, and the repression during this period has become known as "the Killing Time" in Covenanter histories.[2] A
core of hard-line rebels remained in arms, and became known as the Cameronians after Richard Cameron their leader. Cameron was killed in a skirmish atAirds Moss the next year, but his followers were eventually pardoned on the accession of King William III in 1689. They spent more than four months there, awaiting trial. They had no shelter, and were given a daily food allowance of just 4oz of bread. Conditions were so inhumane that the Covenanters’ Prison is often described as the world’s first concentration camp. In the 18th century, the original tower exploded when gunpowder stored there caught fire. In the 19th century a minister of Greyfriars led a movement to reform worship, introducing the first post-Reformation stained glass windows and one of the first organs in a Presbyterian Church in Scotland. With all this history it is difficult not to see the potential for hauntings! The Greyfriars Kirkyard is famously haunted. One such haunt is attributed to the restless spirit of the infamous 'Bluidy' George Mackenzie buried there in 1691. The 'Mackenzie Poltergeist' is said to cause bruising, bites and cuts on those who come into contact with it and many visitors have reported feeling strange sensations. Visitors who take a ghost tour, which has access to the Covenanters' Prison, have reportedly emerged with injuries which they had no recollection of sustaining. Even more interestingly, a number of deaths have taken place in the Kirkyard itself. We come back to the Convenanters - In 1667, Mackenzie became Lord Advocate, and conducted the persecuting policy of King Charles II against the Scottish Covenanters. You can imagine how he earned the nickname ‘Bluidy Mackenzie.’ After his death, in 1691, he was buried in mausoleum close by the Covenanters’ Prison. In Edinburgh Picturesque Notes (1897), Stevenson, writing of Mackenzie says: “When a man’s soul is certainly in hell, his body will scarce lie quiet in a tomb however costly; some time or other the door must open, and the reprobate come forth in the abhorred garments of the grave.” He goes on to recount how “fool-hardy urchins” considered it: “a high piece of prowess to knock at the Lord Advocate’s mausoleum and challenge him to appear.‘Bluidy Mackingie, come oot if ye dar’!” In recent times, Greyfriars has been the site of a number of alleged hauntings. Visitors to the Covenanters’ Prison have reported a variety of ghostly phenomena including hot and cold spots, strange smells, spooky apparitions, disembodied voices and feelings of extreme unease. There have even been claims of cratches, burns, bruises and even broken bones. Most of the attacks take place in and around the ‘Black Mausoleum,’ situated halfway down the Covenanters’ Prison, on the left-hand side. These extraordinary occurrences began in 1999 shortly after a homeless man entered and desecrated Mackenzie’s tomb. This has led some people to suppose that the malevolent spirit haunting the nearby prison is in fact the Lord Advocate’s ghost, awoken untimely from its guilty slumbers. Hence its popular name, the Mackenzie Poltergeist. Written by Joanne Murray

Location, Location, Location is a well used phrase and it is now one which links to the world of retreats and holistic holidays. Owners are now more open to establishing retreats in places which offer a variety of rewards and some unique features attributed to the particular area and country, and maybe even in locations you have never considered before. This issue we look at locations for holistic and spiritual retreat. Not only are retreats about well-being, development and spiritual balance, but also fabulous locations with everything on offer from cultural and lifestyle experiences, and these have become vastly innovative and retreats . Ranging from facilities complimented by the natural surroundings to amazing sumptuous spas in exotic places combining cultures, nature and geographical areas with holistic treatments.
Deep in the heart of jungles, mountains and temples, unspoilt worlds and natural lifestyles are just part of what places like Bali, Thailand, Indonesia and the surrounding islands can offer. Spiritual journeys which are unique and rewarding intertwined with countries, where the people and culture are as much of the experience as the rest and relaxation time. Lay down on white sand beaches, bathe in healing waters, and venture into landscapes filled with off the beaten track paths, plants and exotic wildlife, a unique time can be expected when you embrace the colours of Asia.
Spain, Portugal and Italy are all catching onto the benefits of holistic holidays and you can expect the benefits of choosing sunshine filled places, combined with the best in relaxation, healing and development amid olive and orange
tree orchards and the beautiful sunshine climate. Take a rejuvenating time in a converted Italian villa, surrounded by soothing Tuscan scenery. Portugal's amazing coastline offers a surfing paradise and many retreats balance a learning or activities agenda with development ,rest and restoration. Cycling in the Alps, hiking or walking in mountains or water ventures by lakes, coastlines or countryside show the diversity of a retreat offered on a European adventure.
Costa Rica, Brazil, and other South American countries are becoming ideal retreat locations for many different reasons. The unique undiscovered, sometimes isolated, venues offer peace, relaxation in the most natural environments. Meditation, self discovery and healing retreats thrive in this atmosphere linked to spiritual and ancient cultures and beliefs. Sacred in their' landscapes, the “worlds' that time forgot “can be experienced and many retreat owners have realised that the combination of old and new never worked better than in the heart of nature in a South American rainforest or under the influences of a wonder of the world at Machu Picchu in Peru. Whether you are looking for a retreat in the heart of nature's paradise, a Caribbean getaway with glorious idyllic white sand beaches, or a more traditional styled experience with infinity pools or natural spring bathing, the “Retreat World” is expanding, where Eat,ing Praying and Loving could lead you anywhere you want to go. www.lightstaysretreats.com where in depth profiles give you an inner vision of beautiful stays in beautiful places can open up your world and help you decide where you are going on your next adventure....

e all can probably recall the in our memories the secret awkward first kiss stolen in the playground, or the times spent with friends dancing in the rain, where the sky was the limit and the fun and smiles brought with it a treasured memory. But what about if memories actually prevent us from walking into the future. Getting hold of them and making sure they are balanced is a huge task in our lives and it isn't the easiest. Some negative memories can leave us with scars leading to fears, avoidance, or to taint our judgement in the future. Relationships can suffer with trust issues, we can sometimes fear a negative happening again, and closing these down sometimes makes us feel we will not go down the same path. The real way forward is to use and gain control over our memory recall so it is in balance with our present life whether it is in relationships, careers or life generally. Some memories of course are harder to control and box away than others and if you have been hurt or suffered a bereavement it can be difficult to just turn the page, so allowing yourself healing time is one of the best ways of walking into the future. Allowing ourselves to settle in our thoughts, so we can move on and by learning acceptance we eventually focus on the better memories instead of the negative ones. When we reflect or recall a memory we very often remember the feelings associated with the memory, if we have been hurt by someone, our tearful times or the blank explanations we may have received, lead us to be still in transition and without the necessary closure, so we are left wanting and hurting. Running from a memory is also not a way of dealing with it , and it is important to take steps to help ourselves in a healing process to prevent our past continuing to hurt us in the present. Here are some of the life soul vision Bestest Balance Tips to help you to gain an equal balance in keeping a memory as well as being able to place it away from the present and future life.
W
Try to find the opposite in every possible memory of negativity – even if it is as simple as a lesson learnt Learn to have some discipline over a negative situation, don't spend hours dwelling on it, change a pattern or time when you know you will be on your own Learn and share with a trusted friends or friends, trust around you is a good safe feeling and can make you reassured that the situation is now something that is shared Detach in the early days from the emotional pain of a negative memory – you cannot erase it but you can focus your thoughts on something away from it- sometimes meditation, hypnosis or other mind stimuli can help in this Write down or record some of your thoughts, keep a memory box and feel that you have a special place , that you can put away so that it doesn't rule your life, and as you grow stronger learn to accept the elements of expression and acceptance.
the right place. While we cannot change the past, it is not always about erasing it, we need to understand and learn acceptance within ourselves. We are so often led to think these days that 'all memories are in the past' and empowering and self belief quotes are about the “Here and Now”, “The Present is the Important Time”, and “You Cannot Change What has Happened”, but it is equally important to remember, that the experience and relevance of memories also make us the people we are. If you need relationship guidance or insight into your life, Life Soul Vision offers guidance with a spiritual twist for our modern world, sometimes even the best need a little help along the way www.lifesoulvision.com “Life Soul Vision~Your Guidance to a more Balanced Life
Can forgetting help us remember? A new study in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology suggests that older brains may be cluttered with too much unnecessary information. Certain activities, such as playing an instrument or learning a new language, may help clean out some of the unwanted memories.

ll of us have memories. Some good and some bad. The number of memories is infinite as we each have our own personal collection of the moments in our lives that hold special meaning. Some of us remember what flavor of ice cream we had at our eighth birthday party while others just remember the presents or who attended. Individual memory is highly selective and driven by the events and emotions that created them. A definition of the word, memory, denotes that it is a collection of past events. We call them up when visiting family and friends or when repeating some past event in the present moment. Our own memories are there to guide us, to comfort us, or to remind us to stay away. There s another set of memories that go much deeper than a collection from a present lifetime. Those memories have to do with the lessons and skills we ve brought in from previous lifetimes. Wrapped in Karma, these memories hold soul significance and are internal guidance systems to help us maximize each lifetime of learning. Very often these soul memories get tied up with our present emotions. We struggle to either break free of them and do the opposite of them, or we settle back into them because they bring a source of comfort. Since the Moon is the keeper of emotion it is logical that an interesting astrological point called the Lunar North Node points to it s exact opposite of the Lunar South Node to highlight the memories and emotions of past lives. Their existence creates a driving force of collective importance that propels groups of people to their highest learning, highest good, and to the achievement of their highest purpose. The Lunar South Node is your soul s file of past life memories. The Lunar Nodes move approximately every eighteen months so those born close
A
to your own birthdate have the same past lifetime collective information and the same general goals to achieve in this lifetime. It s why groups of people of the same approximate age seem to have the same generational interests and challenges. Moving from what was to what is now is the path that each group, or soul group, must face. At the moment, we re seeing the work of the Scorpio North Node (the destination or goal) at work in our global fabric as the lessons of self reliance, appreciation without ownership, the merging of powers, and acceptance of support coming from many sources are being infused into the human repertoire . We re leaving behind the memories of the Taurus South Node that governs the overbearing need for luxury and sensual stimulation, reluctance to change, and an over dependence on the status quo. This energetic movement or world lesson began on August 30, 2012 and will last through February 18, 2014. The previous groups with the Scorpio/Taurus Lunar axis are those born from July 11, 1975 through January 7, 1977 and February 2, 1994 through July 31, 1995. If your birthdate falls within those dates then you are on call now to leave the memories of the South Node in Taurus behind and merge with the ideas of the Scorpio North Node. Nothing is ever stagnant for long in the Cosmos. On February 19, 2014, the Lunar Nodes will move again and this time they are going into Libra (yes, they re moving backward) where the gifts of win/win situations, tact and diplomacy, and giving for the sake of giving are highlighted. The trick will be to leave behind the collective memories of Aries and the resistance to compromise, selfishness, and war like tendencies. The wheel in the sky will keep on turning and the peace we re all seeking has a chance to reign! What fabulous memories that will make!
I first became interested in Astrology as a teen. It fascinated me that there was this ancient body of knowledge and belief system that had survived the ages. Even after I completed my University education and worked as an educator by profession I knew that one day I would be help and coaching others using Astrology. In the 1990’s my own counseling astrologer said I was ready to learn the art of constructing and reading charts. It opened a fabulous new world for me. I’ve never looked back. I’ve always been attracted to the various disciplines of metaphysics and have recently completed the Master’s Level of study from the Seasons in Avalon Witch School. I love working with stones, herbs, the elements, the Twelve Universal Laws, and other things to enrich my own life and those of my clients. My clients love the added information and take delight in knowing something that is a little different from their daily routines. When working with a client, I give personal astrological advice and we often complete a session with an oracle card reading or a mini lesson on using herbs and spices to make incense or using crystals to enhance their awareness and interaction with the Universe. My goal is to create awareness and to teach others about their own path and how to best work within their own heart’s knowledge and desires. I am the creator of the Facebook page, North of the Moon. Here I write daily notes on the Cosmic energy patterns. Since the moon is ever changing, I love to write about it and how her energies are affecting the day. With the rise in vibrations that many are experiencing I feel knowing about this feminine energy really helps to understand the underpinnings of the day. I go beyond the standard by delving into the daily psychology of the moon and planetary energies, transits and aspects. Anyone interested in a fun and personalized session can contact me on my Facebook page or 45moons@comcast.net

Numerology is the science of numbers which is a simple accurate method of understanding others and us. Each person is born with certain abilities, talents and tendencies - the Date Of Birth will reveal the details. When used in conjunction with clairvoyance, psychic and other gifts it is a valuable tool enabling us to give assistance to those who seek help. People who understand the vibrational power of numbers will also understand their own strengths and weaknesses and those of others, and how best to take advantage of circumstances that will occur in their lives. Numerology will help reveal the life path of a soul from the cradle to mature adulthood.

CHRIS WOLF DEATON
Paranormal Investigator
Whenever you tell somebody that you are a Paranormal Investigator you will generally hear one of two things, either, “WOW really? I find that really fascinating “, or alternatively, “What ghosts you mean? No such thing, I’ve never seen one “. Thirteen years ago as an initiate to paranormal research I would have welcomed the first response and regretted the second. When you’re new to such fields of research you tend to be very open to possibilities, sometimes too open, in my own case I was quite naive and rarely questioned what I was told by my peers. With time and experience you learn to trust your instincts and to question everything, be meticulous and thorough in your approach to investigating. I am a big believer in knowledge that is not shared is knowledge wasted, through my articles I am hoping that I can help to dispel myths, educate those who wish to have a better understanding of the spirit world and how it can affect the living, and share my previous experiences and investigations. Like many people my first interest in the spirit world was awakened as a young boy. I spent much of my time growing up at my grandparents. Their home was the typical miners property a three bedroomed home with a fireplace in all but the one room, no central heating in those days and winter would always let you know it had arrived by how close to the fireplace you would sit. There had always been stories that I had overheard, stories relating to strange occurrences at night in the house, visits from deceased family, objects moved seemingly by unseen hands. Perhaps it was these stories that made me bury my head under the covers at night, for fear of seeing something so frightening I would never sleep again. This kind of irrational fear of the unknown is often what drives many people towards becoming investigators. Fear itself is far from irrational, it is after all part of everybody’s basic survival mechanism, without it we would just rush into dangerous situations without thought of consequence. But to be afraid of something that you cannot understand is where the irrationality comes in. Although I never had any
W
paranormal experiences at my grans, the stories always had a resounding effect on me and how I perceived the darkness. So many years later the opportunity arose to become involved with a paranormal research team, I had to apply as if applying for a job, there was an interview held and I was accepted into the group. This was a major event in my life and it was to start me on a new path of learning and self-discovery. There are different attitudes when it comes to investigating, some believe that only scientific methods should be employed, others psychic and mediumistic, I personally believe that the two work perfectly well together and in many cases are corroborative. If you have ever been involved with any paranormal research groups you may well have encountered the dark side, by that I do not mean demons and dark energies, oh no, I speak of something far worse, that being ego’s. Many a group have disbanded because of certain individuals allowing their ego to get in the way. My advice is to only get involved if your interest lies within finding truth and helping others, if it is to become popular in certain circles or to use it as a social activity, then maybe try X Factor or Britain’s got talent instead. Over the years through spirit communication it became apparent that many spirits suffered with issues just as they would have done in life, I decided to equip myself with the skills needed to help and so I studied counselling for three years and also volunteered with Samaritans. It is important to understand that although a spirit has no physical body they still have the same emotional qualities and understandings that they did when they were alive, and as such you treat them no differently, communication is key and good communication is essential to finding answers. I hope that you will find something of interest in my words and that my experiences will help to answer some of your own questions. Until then be safe and be the best you can be.
Since a very young age I have been keenly interested in all things Paranormal, whether it is hauntings, ghosts, cryptozoology or UFO’s. About 14 years ago I was given the opportunity to join a paranormal l research group, the point of which was to investigate claims of spirit activity and psychic disturbances. Over the years I have worked with and helped to establish several research groups, I am currently freelance and specialise in helping people who require help and counselling due to spirit activity disturbing their lives. I live in the Sheffield area where I work as photographer and part time youth worker. Contact: 07729326300 Facebook: Chris Wolf Deaton Dark wolf Photography

o the quickened heartbeat and the rush to answer the mobile is long since past and your relationship status has become a little dust covered. It happens to all of us that the excitement of the early days of romance in a partnership become a little distant and we reach a more settled time but still crave the whizz bang of those early days. Do not allow the time to settle in between stages of events in a relationship, every moment of our lives is far too important, so making the time together with our special someone deserves the little extra thoughtfulness on both parts to keep the flame glowing and its not unnatural to feel that it may have been somewhat dimmed as time rolls on. Making sure your relationship stays the distance and on track is easier said than done, as always it is about the balance. Both of you need to ensure your own lives are as important and that your own needs are being as fulfilled as they were when you first met, after all the girl who wildly let all her inhibitions go when she was the “dancing queen” on the dance floor, was the person who your partner was first attracted to. Here are some of the life soul vision Bestest Balance Tips to keep your relationship in harmony, -although there are a great many more, these are ways to keep the smiles and the buzz going and maintain what should be your very most special and happiest important times in your life shared with your partner.
S
3. Compromise- in a relationship try to meet half way or even go to the football match, or watch the latest sci fi film or rom-com that your partner may be well into. Both of you will appreciate each other more by showing you sometimes can bend the rules a bit and do something just simply because you want to please them. 4. Spend a little time where you swap roles or tasks, it is easy to misunderstand the other person if you dont walk in their shoes. So by experiencing some of the things that are necessities gives us a better insight into how the other one feels. Sharing the experience always leads to greater understanding. 5. Respect each other. Without this fundamental foundation, a relationship has no boundaries. To respect one another by allowing them their views, their funny little ways or their individual likes and dislikes, even their way out dreams. Understanding them in their own life, helps to bring you to a closer point where they become your best friend as much as your partner for a long time ahead. All relationships are built in steps, and can be adjusted along the way, growing and learning from the other one is as important as sharing and caring. Hopefully you will see immediate effects in balancing the closeness between you to see into the future and know that the happy ever after ending can actually exist. If you need relationship guidance or insight into your life, Life Soul Vision offers guidance with a spiritual twist for our modern world, sometimes even the best need a little help along the way www.lifesoulvision.com
“Life Soul Vision~Your Guidance to a more Balanced Life 1. Dont let the every day things make your relationship an “everyday” one, sprinkle the little surprises, suggest the odd days out doing something different, even feeding the ducks or going to see a film,complete with popcorn and milkshakes. The fun side of a relationship is so important to keep ordinary run of life in an equal position to the giggle time. 2. Talk and communicate , and not just by text, internet or notes left hurriedly as you fly out the door. This new era of techno talking can lead to a silent gap in a relationship and so easily begin to create a distance where you dont really listen to what the other one is saying.

DAVID BROWN & LYNETTE AVIS
Co-Authors ur lives are an act of creation- by putting inspired thought into action we create a life of beauty, adventure and growth. That spark of inspiration needs to be nurtured not ignored. That requires trust in oneself, a belief that our voice has a right to be heard, our vision seen and our presence felt to enhance the lives of others and the world at large. Watch our lives blossom and grow as we turn this nurtured spark into a flame that transforms us into a greater and wiser version of our selves and we create a sense of meaning and purpose to our lives.
O
Before we can build a fire we need an initial spark to ignite it. By bringing two stones together and allowing them to interact in a single moment we can create a spark. That tiny spark may then be taken to make a much large fire. You are energy and anything that inspires you is energy also. By bringing both yourself and inspiration together there becomes an energy clash. Life itself brought the energy of you and the energy of the inspiration together to create the clash. Once we have a clash of energy we have a spark to work with. Once an artist saw a painting that gave him further inspiration to create a three dimensional piece called a mobile. Mondrian was the artist of the painting and Calder was the artist of the three dimensional piece. Hey presto we had the very first mobile and an artistic genius. We have many musical geniuses also and once a musician called Brahms heard a piece of music by Schumann that inspired him to create Variations on a Theme by Schumann. Always there is the spark that takes the mind and creative juices forward. For that initial spark to be created it requires openness for that spontaneous moment to occur. The mind with all its rigid training may well stifle the creation of the spark by the power of its preconceptions. Innovative thought cannot burgeon in such a restrictive and controlled environment. We must be open, and freely search for possibilities of spontaneous inspiration.
From the spark, fuel and air are required if it is to become a flame. The fuel is within each person, each person is the fuel and the air is the means by which the world is viewed. So, if you are an artist you are visual and if you are a musician you are auditory and these are the primary filters by which you will view the world. Of course we all have many filters and use them all in varying degrees but we do lean towards one or the other more depending on whether we are a seeing person a hearing person or a physical person. When you are inspired, your reaction is to express that inspiration by creating through your personal predisposition and strength. This is the vehicle by which the spark becomes a flame. With each individual event of creation the fire is fuelled. An intense momentum occurs. If left too long between these inspirational events, the single flame weakens and may even die. But if inspiration is sought out continually, that spontaneous moment of inspiration will happen more and more frequently. The flame will grow stronger and the development of the fire will become an inevitable furnace of inspirational creativity. The Flame will be nourished and will grow. So what of you, the fuel? Whatever was fuelled by this process was there to teach you. It was there to help you grow as a unique individual. This growth will take you further; it will be the catalyst for your next creation. The process can only transform you. You can only grow from it. A life is created by work and effort as is skill itself and any work of art. All three require effort. The reward to you for effort is refinement, greater skill, more alive and you becoming more alight to life.

y mother, Telia Curtis Kiteley,died on May 12, 2006 at age 82. Her death was caused by vascular dementia Vascular dementia is a decline in thinking skills caused by conditions that block or reduce blood flow to the brain, depriving brain cells of vital oxygen and nutrients. Memory loss is often a component of vascular dementia. For my mother, memory loss was a major symptom. The doctors caring for my mother in Phoenix, Arizona, told my sister and me that her condition was irreversible, would get worse and worse, and would kill her, probably within a few years. Our family was small. It consisted of my mother, my father Charles, and my sister Rise, as well as a one or two dogs (depending on the years in question). We lived in Asia and Europe for much of my childhood. My father travelled a lot, so my mother was our primary caretaker. My sister and I both had a very close relationship with our mother and remained devoted to her until her death. She died in my sister’s arms after being tenderly cared for by my sister for several years. My mother had always expressed fear and horror about the prospect of being placed in a nursing home and begged us to not let that happen. Thanks to Rise’s devotion and willingness to assume the responsibilities of caretaking, our mother lived her final years in dignity in her daughter’s home. Dementia and Alzheimer’s seem to be increasingly common conditions among the elderly in Western nations. They have a devastating impact on the family members and friends of those who experience these age-related diseases and require levels of care—and sometimes restriction—that are hard for family members to provide in a private residence. I didn’t realize how hard it would be to “lose” my mother to vascular dementia. The woman who was living in my sister’s spare bedroom looked like my mother, and spoke with her voice, but during those final couple of years she didn’t recognize my sister or me. She had no memories of our lives together. When memory dies, so does identity to a significant extent, and so does awareness of the web of relationships we are typically embedded within. Without a mutual awareness of a relationship and a mutual memory of a relationship’s history, it can be very difficult to maintain a sense of relationship. Even though the relationship between a child and its mother is one of the most primal, powerful, and enduring ones we experience in our lives, when your mother no longer knows you, that bond can seem threatened, weak, even destroyed. I mourned the death of my mother for years before she actually died and ended her physical incarnation. Many of my tears were cried before her passing. I felt like my mother was gone, even though her body continued to function; to breathe, eat and excrete. During my last visits with my mother in Phoenix, I shared the guest bedroom—and a queen-sized bed—with her. We had pleasant times together. We watched a lot of television. I gave her a manicure and pedicure and brushed her beautiful, long, pure white hair. I would chat with her. Her ability to speak coherently was impaired, so our conversations were both a bit
M
awkward and one-sided. I also read to her from books and magazines I had brought with me. One of the things I did with the conscious intent of helping my mother prepare for her death was to sing her songs that spoke about death as a joyful release. I sang “Swing Low Sweet Chariot, Coming for to Carry Me Home;” and “I’ll Fly Away.” I also sang “I am a poor wayfaring stranger, awandering through this world of woe; but there’s no sickness, no toil, no danger, in that bright land to which I go.” The last day of my last visit with my mother was notable because, as I was packing up and getting ready to be driven to the airport by my sister, she uttered a coherent sentence! She said: “I wish you didn’t have to go.” I should mention at this point that my mother, sister and I are all sensitives, with above average levels of psychic perception. The day my mother started to die (it turned out to be a three-day process), I had a meltdown, or nervous breakdown of sorts. I didn’t find out that I mother had started her death transition until many hours later, that evening, but with the benefit of hindsight, it was clear that I sensed the exact time it started and plunged into wild grief and uncontrollable sobbing. It took me hours to calm down. I initially blamed this uncharacteristic and dramatic psychological meltdown on some minor incident relating to another family member. That night, or maybe the next night, my two dogs went berserk in the kitchen, barking their heads off. My then husband Johnny and I finally discovered what the problem was. A bird had found its way into a ventilation pipe, and torn it in an effort to get out. We put the dogs outside and carefully released the bird and placed it on the ledge of the kitchen window, and got the window raised up. The bird did not fly away right away, but lingered on the ledge. With loving encouragement, we were finally able to get the bird to fly away. No bird had ever come into our house before; and no bird ever came into it again. I was so uplifted by the bird’s visit. I knew it was my mother coming to say goodbye to me on her way to another life in anther dimension. I realized that her spirit had not forgotten me, and that I was precious and important to her. What a blessing that was. The third and final day of my mother’s death transition also had an element of “paranormal phenomena.” It was early morning and I had decided to do a vigorous washing of the kitchen floor, down on my hands and knees with a pail of soapy water and a sponge. While washing the floor, I sang: “I’ll Fly Away….” Twenty minutes later my sister called to tell me that our mother died peacefully in her arms exactly at the time I started singing “I’ll Fly Away.” I now believe that our relationships with loved ones do not end with death--or with memory loss. This realization was immensely comforting to me. After completing her “passing over,” my mother continued to communicate with me in spirit –from spirit--in a variety of ways and situations, and for this I am and will always be deeply grateful.

here is an illuminated dimension on earth where people live... in an infinite reality, where highly sentient, acoustic men and women are always ecstatic and live in immense sensual pleasure. Women live as flowers in full bloom and men, as Bee’s intoxicated by their fragrant nectar. From a very young age, they encounter beliefs, attitudes and behaviours of peace, fulfilment and blissful awareness of their luminous ways. Every man and woman embodies the sensations of love, joy and sensuality. Their world is much more feminine, rich with resources and pleasure for peaceful co-existence. The present moment is pure LOVE. They live in timelessness, where miracles occur naturally and effortlessly. The women are the great healers, the mystics, the shamans, the ones that the community looks to for remedies of any ailment. She is alive with magic, occult wisdom and abilities to cure all disease. Through dance and song, she can bring the rain and the sun and the animals to assist her therapeutic work. She lives by the signs and symbols of nature, observing the elements like a wild animal, exalting the enchanting Goddess of love that breathes her in every moment. Alchemists, Angels, Avatars, Wizard, Witches, Nymphs, Fairies, Gods and Goddesses live as one, harmoniously together. There exists a sheer fabric of feminine energy, a permeable radiance that surrounds them. It is known as The Womb of Creation. From this Womb is where all of reality happens. It is clean, free, pure and radiant. It is a mixture of infinite alchemical elements, sound, water and glowing ether. All of those with a pure heart and diamond mind can reach even beyond the Womb of Creation to encounter other dimensions and worlds of existence. Being embraced, held and rocked by the Womb causes them enlightened rapture. This fabric is the nutrition and spark for the creation of new babies, for plants emerging from the soil, for hearts to expand and glow. Women have more access to the womb because they are organically intrinsic. Intertwining in the womb fabric of each Goddess is the ultra intelligent Womb of Creation. There each woman holds the universal wisdom of creation and access to the constant tone of compassion, empathy and true wealth. Enchanting, luminous, sensual, The Womb of Creation, holds every woman in an embrace of oneness, supporting their every liquid, flowing and graceful movement. It is Heaven on Earth.

TIARNIE
Facilitator of love, light, joy, transformation and abundant creation just LOVE LOVE LOVE Universal synchronicity SO much… I have an unwavering trust in the Universe and not once have I been let down.. On August the 9th I flew to Germany, from Australia, to go and see my dad, who was very unwell in an Oncology clinic in Hallwangen, however by the time I got there he had sadly passed just hours before I arrived at his bedside. As you can imagine I was stricken with shock, deep sadness and immediate grief. When it was time to come home after a transformational, life altering and courageous week in Europe I found out that this article topic, synchronistically and amazingly, was based around “Memories of loved ones”.. Yes, that’s right; the universe is incredible isn’t it? So my article begins as raw and as vulnerable as it gets, straight from my heart and soul right into this edition… My Dad was my only parent, long story short, we were all each other really had. I was his only child as well, so our connection was quite beautiful and I must say very unconditional. I have an abundance of memories of my Dad and this article comes in divine time as I can share a little with you and relate now to any of you who has lost someone extremely close. Right now as I write this article I am still grieving and have come to see that I have expected way too much of myself. It’s been nearly 4 weeks since Dad passed and getting back into the day to day routine is different from what I expected. I am lovingly and gratefully doing the “normal” things, school run, lunches, cleaning, cooking, back to the gym but the hugest realisation for me is this. Everyone stays the same, nothing has changed for anyone else around me, normality and routine just goes on yet for me life couldn’t be more different… I am transformed by this experience and the powerful truth that life does just go on. I remember only good times with my Dad, his smile, those bright blue eyes, our unspoken love and bond that seemed and still is unbreaka ble. The
I
stories that Dad told were his strong point, his booming and passionate voice echoed as he engaged in sharing things that he loved, his view and yes, his unique opinions. He loved good food and would always get me to taste new things of which I usually loved just as much as he did. He would always say “I know you’ll love it Tiarnie” and he was right. I loved listening to Dad’s stories even though his view on the world was so very different from mine; however that’s where our acceptance and unconditional love for one another took over. My Dad was an unusual soul and sadly never really seemed to find too much joy here on the Earth plane. He had a lot of regret, guilt and sadness hence three years ago his diagnosis with terminal Cancer appeared. In this moment our lives changed. Dad and I had some amazing, inspiring and revealing conversations during these past three years and I must say my Dad finally got to know and experience me for exactly who I am, this makes me feel whole and satisfied. Although my Dad has left this world physically I must say our connection, the signs he sends and the love I feel for him and from him is stronger than ever. Now he is a soul and connecting with me all the time in ways I could not have imagined, this truly gives me deep peace. He is happy now; free of pain, free of the burden that he felt so strongly from having the weight of the world on his shoulders. He is free and soaring and although tears are always present, deep sadness is here and I miss him incredibly there is something of a paradox within this situation. My Dad is just his soul now, just pure love and I have this very special connection and relationship with him that I didn’t get to experience when he was in his physical body. The duality of this is complex I know but my heart is connected and at one with his and this is the divine truth, but I must say his huge hugs are what I will miss the most. So of course I could continue to share so I will just leave you with this; As long as we keep talking about our loved ones that have physically left the Earth plane, as long as we keep telling their story, their life’s experience, as long as we keep digging deep from our hearts to share, share, share, they remain alive. Their story stays alive with us. We are leaving them a legacy by crying for them, missing them, honouring them, laughing at the fun times and continuing to hold them close. I dedicate this article to my dad, David.. I miss you Dad, I know you are with me, Thankyou, I love you…. Many blessings of light Tiarnie xxx

s we move through and experience life we gather a store of memories both positive and negative which we draw upon to tell the story of us. Then there are those times when we feel and know that there is a memory being triggered though cannot recall the experience! We are reborn into the life we are currently living, the majority of the time with total amnesia of all the previous lives we have lived. Even with the understanding that we have soul contracts which are determined, agreed and signed in advance to reincarnating on the earth plane at specific times, into certain families, countries and in the physical vehicle that is for our greatest learning.....it is all forgotten! Also lost is the knowledge that we come from a soul family, of whom we are related by soul purposes, not by the linear thinking we adhere to in our 3D form. Well, all until we stumble across someone, a place or situation that feels extremely familiar, with such a strong sense of knowing that has no logical or practical reasoning nor can be explained. We then go in search of validation of what seems so real and tangible, all to no avail....maybe not in this lifetime anyway! When a new acquaintance says to you or you say to them, “haven’t I met you before, do I know you, where do I know you from?” it is not just a pick up line and if it is it is a very lame one......it is a case of instant recognition. There is a soul to soul remembrance of the other that can be immediately felt and acknowledged along with the possibility of a physically and chemical reaction. When it is a person of the opposite sex, or the same sex depending on your preference.....we can be struck with the notion of this person being our soul mate. Often accompanying this is urgency and a powerful motivating force to have as much contact with that person as possible. There is a belief that we have only one soul mate that is the other half of ourselves and we need them to complete us and make us happy! We seek in fear for The One, forever wondering and questioning if the relationship we are in is it or whether we are good enough or are ever going to attain the perfect connection and relationship with our Soul Mate. What Gobbly Gonk I say!!! I am not trying to shatter or tarnish anyone’s illusions surrounding soul mates, this is my theory and it may not resonate with everyone. I believe that in each life journey we have many soul connections and memories for the pure purpose of awakening us to aspects of ourselves, learning and
A
growth. Many people come into our lives as sign posts, as a guide from our extended soul family to move us into the pre scripted direction of our soul path, as we also do the same for others. Now let us go a little deeper and bring love into the equation....when we have such a substantially strong sensation and recollection of another, we can fall in love with the memory of who they are at a soul level and not the actual reality of which that person is on the physical level in this lifetime. We can often hang onto relationships that are not healthy for anyone, for way too long, just waiting for them to become what we ‘know and feel’ they can be, as we attach and focus on their essence and their potential, not what they are here for or presenting this lifetime. When we tap into the past life memories with another, we can struggle to differentiate what is real and what is not, testing and trying our faith, trust and belief in ourselves, our intuition and others. During our evolution back to source, each time on this side of the veil, we have a whole new and different set of lessons, values, ideas, beliefs and situations to conquer through many and varied circumstances, with a multitude of personal interactions. For me, I see most of the associations and relationships we have especially the intimate ones, as a soul mate connection, as we are magnetised towards each other for the allotted time and sequence that is required for us to achieve a greater understand of our true authentic selves, our place in the world and our souls ascension. So on the next occasion of this occurrence, go beneath the surface level and ask.....what memories or sensations am I experiencing, what signs or signals do I have to determine whether these are pertaining to this lifetime or previous ones, be honest with yourself about the true reality of the relationship that is happening, what may be the intention and wisdom attributed to the union this time around, is it to get me on track, are they mirroring attributes that I am unaware of and vice versa and what is the profound significance of the friendship or relationship on all levels. Although most of all enjoy the mysteries of life, the wonderful opportunities and the magical exploration that is presented to us when we encounter Soul Connection Memories! <3 Love, Light N Huggz <3

here am I going? What’s the destination? How do I get there? How long will it take? What’s the best way? Where is the map?!... I have been thinking.… Life is like one big road trip! (not a box of chocolates! :-) The road to YOU is a unique journey.. Sometimes we may share roads, cars or directions, but we are the only ones who can take our journey. In life, the destination, or where we end up, is not as important as the journey.
W
scenic route! Remember: the story of the hare and tortoise....
Sometimes we turn onto a new road, we travel down it quite a way...and then realise we are heading in the wrong direction, so we ‘hook a U-ey”, ( turn around) and get off that road as fast as possible!....Maybe you have taken a speedy u-turn out of a relationship, a job, or a course you were taking? The u-turn is a sign you have learnt a lesson, realised a truth or maybe you were not concentrating on where you were going. Dont worry, the u-turn is a The roads you take, is the life you handy manoeuvre. Once you have make. u-turned out of the situation, make While you won’t need directions, here sure you integrate the lesson and are some of my travel tips for your consult your’ personal GPS’ again for road trip: the new directions. Remember: check for oncoming traffic. We all have our own in built GPS system to help us find our way on our road trip. Its your soul. Your intuition. Your higher self. It knows the way. You can trust it (unlike the actual real GPS systems). You have a real guidance system and you need to consult it and depend on it to show you the way. When we don’t listen to our own GPS system, we get lost or end up on the wrong road. All you need for your journey is already within you. Remember: Make sure your GPS is fully charged for your journey (nb. Meditating charges it). Where you have been is not as important as where you are going... Do you spend too much time looking in your rear view mirror? Why? You are not going that way!... Keep your eyes focused on the road ahead. Imagine if you drove your car while you were constantly looking in your rear view mirror.... You would crash. So don’t look at your life this way. The past should not be stared at. Do some fleeting looks backwards to see where you have come from, what’s behind you, and how you have grown. Remember: Objects in the mirrors seem larger than they are.
Ever get the feeling you are stuck on the round-about of life? Do you seem to go in circles? Are you making the same mistakes again and again? If you find yourself stuck on the round a bout, check your mirrors, check your blind spots, merge lanes, consult your GPS and exit safely! Remember: it is only a mistake the first time. The next time its a choice. It is important to look after your vehicle by servicing it, it is an investment that protects your greatest asset - YOU. Nurture yourself. Take care of yourself, your mind, body and spirit.. Book yourself in for a service – maybe a massage, a spiritual healing, therapy or something that calls to your soul....You don’t want to risk a breakdown (Especially if your on that highway). Self care will take you further along your journey, more miles will be travelled. Remember: Putting ‘premium fuel’ into your vehicle increases mileage. Most importantly, have fun and honour your journey!! You are a great driver, you are safe and you are in control. Don’t worry about the destination. You will get there. It doesn’t matter when... It doesn’t matter if you get lost on the way... Just enjoy the ride! One last thing - You are never alone on your journey.... Your angels, guides and spiritual friends love a good road trip!
Are you speeding? The world is a fast paced place these days, and too many people have the pedal to the metal. Its not a race. When we are on the highway, we speed along, without stopping for red lights, we fly past exits, we keep our eyes straight ahead and our hands on the wheel Happy travelling,... Love to you all, and just keep going without thought. Seona xx Do you feel you need to slow down? Take an exit....get off the highway if you can, slow down and take the

NATASHA WINSOR he Butterfly Effect is the theory that a small change in one place can have a very large impact in another place at a later date. The name comes from the theory that a hurricane's formation is contingent on whether or not a distant butterfly had flapped its wings several weeks earlier. So bearing this in mind, could it be possible that our actions have an effect somewhere else, or on someone else? Even if we go about our lives in a simple way thinking that we aren't making a difference, in fact its quite the opposite. Everything we do has a knock on effect. Everything we say can make an impact. Sometimes just making a simple yet obvious comment is enough to make someone think differently. A block in the road taking us off in a different direction. For example, did you know that Hitler applied for art school but was turned down? How different would our world be if Hitler had gone to art school instead ? Perfect examples of this are Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and Hitler â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all for very different reasons of course. Each of these people were young children once and lived their lives as normal people. Until a sequence of events occurred enabling them to make a huge impact on the world. If one single person can make such a difference, can you imagine what a group of like minded people are capable of? Every small action has a re-action, sometimes good and sometimes bad but what is important is to ensure that everything we do comes from the heart. Don't underestimate your capabilities. It is only your mind that will limit you so think big and be brave. We've all had an experience where things have gone wrong and we don't understand why but then later on, even years later, it all makes sense. We realise in hind sight that we were forced down a different path which took us somewhere we would have never ended up otherwise. One of those, if I hadn't of spoken to that person they would have told me about that place, scenarios. My brother had one of these experiences which is a great example of the butterfly effect. He was at university and needed to find a summer placement for work experience so he sent his CV out to several companies. A couple of months later he still had not been successful in finding a placement and was feeling despondent as successfully finding a job after university would be dependent on whether he had any experience or not. One afternoon, someone from a large company was doing a lecture that he wanted to go to, and as his friend was at a loo se end he decided to join him. The next day, his friend was at a coffee shop and saw the man that had done the lecture the day before. He went over to introdu ce
T
himself and explained that he had been at the lecture the day before and that my brother had actually applied for a placement at the company but they did not have any vacancies. The man very kindly said to tell my brother to email over his CV and he would have a look at it. Later that week he phoned my brother and after a long conversation said that he would like to invite him in for an interview. As a matter of fact, he was actually the Chief Executive of the company! He said that my brother should be grateful to his friend for being bold enough to approach him as that how you get somewhere in business these days. My brother was then offered a summer placement and when he finished university he was accepted onto their graduate programme and offered a permanent job. So in a nutshell, if his friend hadn't gone with him to the lecture, he wouldn't have recognised and spoken to the CEO in the coffee shop and my brother wouldn't have got the summer placement or ended up being employed by the company. So my advice is to trust the process. Even is things don't make sense at first, all will become clear. Everything happens for a reason. We are all put on this earth to learn, grow and experience many different things such as love and compassion. When you try to swim against the current you just get more tired and don't end up going anywhere so go with the flow and trust that God, the angels, the universe are watching over you and that there is a master plan in place. We all come preprogrammed with the ability to connect to the purest energy, love. If we learn to harness this energy and use it in everything we do, it spills over into everything and everyone we come into contact with. By strengthening the connection with our higher self and God, we will be able to clearly see and feel our life's purpose. By developing our connection, we can begin to speak the truth and show compassion to others. Our inner voice will encourage good intentions and ensure that our actions no matter how big or small aim to make the world a better place. The following paragraph was written by Marianne Williamson and was part of a speech made by Nelson Mandela. It beautifully explains the importance of every individual and is a wonderful reminder that we should not underestimate our own capabilities: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't deserve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so ...that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson

Holistic Therapist & Reiki Master
I am a Holistic Therapist and Reiki Master specialising in a romatherapy massage, Reiki treatments and courses as well as Angel g uidance readings. Originally from Zimbabwe, I moved to the UK ten years ago in search of something new and to gain some life experience. I come from a very Spiritual family and I have communicated with Angels and Spirits since I was four years old. I started doing Angel readings for friends and family at the age of fourteen and after years of growth & learning, I now do distance and face to face readings for people all over the world with the help of my Guardian Angel, Archangel Michael. In order to continue helping others, I studied holistic therapies in my spare time to increase my knowledge and Spiritual awareness. After working in a very stressful, corporate environment, I decided to leave my job to follow my heart and start practising holistic therapies full time. My main aim in life is to make a positive difference in the world by helping others to find inner peace through relaxation and guidance from the Angels. We all spend too much time worrying and I believe that sometimes all we need to do is stop, ask the Universe for help and then trust its guidance. I love to share my experiences with others and I am always fascinated to hear their stories too, as this is how we all learn and grow. www.angelicwhispers.net
