FROM THE EDITORS

www.innerself.com.au

with Gerry Crow

OK … here we all are, the season for giving and receiving is upon once again.

So, what’s it like this time of year for you? Are you happy to be celebrating or do you question its relevance or significance these days?

It’s actually the perfect time to relax and deepen in a fuller appreciation for what is real and true by listening to all that’s being offered.

In his beautiful book “Seven Thousand Ways to Listen” Mark Nepo offers just this, the infinite ways we can allow the world to touch us and move through us by listening with all our being.

“Deep listening,” Nepo says, “is a form of gifted receiving.”

And isn’t this so? We usually feel at our lightest, we feel the most inspired, aligned and attuned when we are at one with That which whispers through our hearts. When we listen in this way everything makes sense and feels perfect just as it is. This could also be called the “Gift of Presence”, and whenever it presents itself in our lives we always feel blessed and grateful.

As we go about our Christmas and New Year’s celebrating, we could take this as another opportunity to dive a little deeper in the company of loved ones around us.

Instead of simply gifting presents we could offer our own presence, making ourselves more available to all our family and friends. Surely this is what these gatherings are really all about.

And, there’s also that after effect that happens when all the celebrating ends. Here lies another opportunity to deepen. Instead of getting caught in the collective dullness hangover, wondering what all the fuss was about, we can simply sit with what is and allow the call to our next cycle of growth to meet us in our listening.

And, it’s good to remember that it’s all a gift of giving and receiving, every single breath we take is a gift.

Remembering this gives us the willing heart to move forward no matter how life appears or presents itself.

In conclusion, here’s Nepo again:

“Let the gifts stitch or cut the web Let what needs to come together or break apart Come together or break apart.

Let the miracles, even the ones we don’t want or see, unfold.”

Much love, Leo Drioli & Enza Vita

There are many ongoing crises in the world right now, including environmental and financial crises. How can you deal with these in a good way?

"Every crisis is a blessing in disguise. It is an invitation to wake up. I don’t know how far the crisis has to go before we truly wake up. Archeological finds make it clear that earlier civilizations rose and fell again.

Naturally, that may happen to our civilization too. We won’t survive if we stay in the level of thoughts. The thoughts are what caused the problems we are encountering at the moment. It is important to seek out stillness and make contact with who you truly are. It is the yin-aspect that helps us to wake up spiritually and to accept the present moment completely. From that star ting point the steps you wish to take follow spontaneously; de yang-energy."

"The good news is that we all have the power to wake up. However, each of us will do it in his own tempo. The one tempo is not better than the other, therefore, it is pointless to judge another. Eckhar t’s process took one night, but for most of us it will be a gradual process."

But, I think it would be wonderful to have an awakening in one night.

"Look at the flower on this table. Even if I don’t know whether it is real or fake (she laughs). That flower will bloom in its own time. You cannot say to it: ‘Bloom, bloom, bloom!' The idea that you have to awaken quickly is again a creation of the intellect, a thought form. If you identify with that, you are not awakened."

Many people are experiencing awakening and yet you hear so little about it in the mainstream media.

An Interview with Kim Eng

BY MARIT VAN DER MEULEN

Who is the woman who stands next to Eckhart Tolle?

Spirituality month started with a lecture from the best-selling author Eckhart Tolle, known for his books ‘The Power of Now’ and ‘A New Earth’, among other things. He visited the Netherlands with his partner Kim Eng who held a workshop ‘Presence through movement’ while she was here. Who is the woman who stands next to Eckhart and what can we expect to hear from her in future?

Kim Eng enters the lounge suite of the Ambassador Hotel, I feel the pure presence she emanates. All the questions I had planned to ask were immediately forgotten. I stutter, turn bright red, and cannot think of anything better than "Can you help me to do this interview in presence?" to say. We take a deep breath together and I begin to calm down. The challenge for me, literally, is to let go of expectations; to create a calm, selfassured impression, for instance.

How did your spiritual journey begin?

"I was married at that time, and attended the Christian Church with my husband looking for answers. I was extremely unhappy and fell into a depression. That led to my decision to leave my husband and the Church. That’s when I set out on my spiritual journey, mostly through reading many books on spirituality.

However, as with the Bible, I tried to understand it all on an intellectual level. Until I read the book, I Am That by Nisargadatta Maharaj. From the first paragraph, I had the feeling that ‘I had found it’. The funny thing is that I don’t exactly remember any more what was in it, but the feeling it gave me, I remember as if it was only yesterday. I made contact with the dimension behind the words."

Later I went to India to continue my jour-

ney of discovery. I became partially paralyzed by an illness. That forced me to look for answers within myself. From then on, my journey in God began. Before that, it was more a journey to God. Still, the books were helpful: words can help point you in the right direction. But, they are still thought patterns, they are not reality. The true answers lie within yourself."

Are you present in the moment all day long?

"Even for me it is still a journey and practice.

I notice however that I have grown and become more mature. We, as people, have the tendency to lose ourselves in the outside world. You identify with the world of form and see it as your master. That’s why it is important to look for moments of silence and make contact with our essence, the divine energy. We are actually all spiritual beings on the inside. When we go out into the world, the challenge is to remain in contact with that."

How do you and your partner Eckhart deal with all the media attention and the fact that people have a tendency to put public figures on a pedestal?

"Eckhart and I spend a lot of time alone so that we stay in contact with ourselves. We are not the kind of people that continuously want company. If you put a famous person on a pedestal, you don’t realize who you truly are on the inside. Everything you look for in that famous person can be found inside yourself."

"Eckhar t and I notice that there is a lot changing right now. We see that Eckhart’s books are becoming popular with a broad readership, while a few years ago, people outside of spiritual circles did not relate to them. We simply have the tendency to ignore information or reject it if we are not ready to receive it."

With your workshop 'Presence through movement', you use the body to make contact with the space behind the bodily form. How does this work exactly?

"With the body, or objects such as a table or chair, we notice the form. However, if you look through a microscope, you see that these are not solid forms. Still you can use the illusion of a form, such as a door opening, to make contact with the space behind it. Energy is meant to flow freely around the body, but certain convictions can cause blockages in the body. The energy then becomes more solid in form, like glue. This is the energy of the pain body. Dissolving this energy through yoga or Qi Qong alone is not enough to solve the problem. Working on awareness, how certain thought patterns create obstacles, is just as important. This helps prevent the problems from reoccurring."

Kim suggested we round off the interview with an exercise for complete presence.

Then I tell her that the interview was very special for me, not because of the words, but because of the underlying connection.

"I have the feeling that you will carry out your interviews in this way more often from now," she says. I tell her about my premonition.

That she will be seen a lot in the media in the coming years. "I don’t know how things will go," Kim says modestly. Then she tells me she plans to give fewer workshops and make time to write a book. In conclusion, she embraces me warmly and I know for certain: we are going to hear a lot more from this woman!

awakening one community at a time . . .

Interview with Mystic Andrew Harvey

BY FELICIA M. TOMASKO Andrew Harvey is the author of over 30 books and the coauthor of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. Harvey sees spirituality and mysticism along with a call to action and activation as the solution for the current crisis we are facing in the world today.

Felicia M. Tomasko: People describe you as a mystic. How would you define what a mystic is and the role of a mystic in the modern world?

Andrew Har vey: A mystic is someone who has a direct connection with the divine, beyond dogma, beyond religion, beyond concept. I believe everybody is a closet mystic, because when you wake up to your own inner divinity, you wake up to the inner divinity of everybody and of every sentient being.

So I know that within every human being there is a spark of the divine consciousness and this is the universal testimony of all the mystical traditions.

The Upanishads say the Atman, the individual soul, is Brahman, the eternal spirit, so the individual soul is one with the eternal consciousness. In Christianity, the soul is referred to as a favillidei day, which is the spark of God. And when I was working with a group of Tibetans on the book I co-wrote with them, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, we used to chant in between trying to get minutiae of Tibetan philosophy right, “My Buddha nature is as good as the Buddha’s Buddha nature.”

This testimony that at the core of everyone lies the divine consciousness waiting to be experienced is crucial for the future.

We’ve created an increasingly violent, desolate, meaningless, desperate world out of our mistaken belief that we are separate beings. This terrible belief – that is profoundly untrue – is the root of growing devastation that we see everywhere. The healing of this devastation can only come from two linked things: our universal mystical awakening to the innate divinity of human consciousness, and a wholly new kind of sacred action born from that consciousness.

FMT: How did this lack of consciousness begin?

AH: For divine consciousness to incarnate itself, it had to lose itself. The individual being who was created to lose itself in divine consciousness was also shrouded by the ego or what we call the false self in Sufism.

In Sufism it is said that we are separated from our deep self by 72,000 veils of illusion. In order to incarnate, the divine travels through those 72,000 veils, which are, of course, different aspects of itself. In order to experience our innate divinity, we have to go on a tremendous journey through those veils, which we can do through grace and deep spiritual work. This game of hide and seek with itself seems to be at the core of the divine’s plan for the universe. And it’s a very dangerous – and exciting – plan.

Because if we do not wake up to this innate divinity, we will destroy what the divine has seeded in us for the transformation of ourselves and our world.

FMT: It’s gambling with the highest stakes.

The divine is betting everything.

AH: Yes, the divine is betting everything out of supreme love. Supreme love creates all of the world, yet it cannot command beings to love it back; it wants to be loved for its own sake.

In creating and inseminating the human race with divine consciousness, the divine took an enormous risk of being abandoned, rejected, forgotten and humiliated. History has shown that humanity has to a large ex-

tent, abandoned, rejected and humiliated the divine.

This abandonment and rejection of the divine does not exhaust divine love nor the operations of divine grace. Let us look at the parable of the prodigal son. The prodigal son abandons his world and his generous father, to go off in a fit of independent pique and destroys his life, or comes close, in an orgy of selfish greed and addiction. In the despair that follows, he remembers his father and goes back. The reunion with the father after the depths of shattering is more intense, illumined, tender and humble. I see the whole of humanity going through this story right now.

There will be those that will die in the pit of addiction. There will be those who see that a desacrilized world and life are utterly doomed; they will then undertake the journey back to origin, back to the divine, and be inflamed by passion to act in very wise ways to save the planet.

FMT: What about people who feel the divine has forsaken and betrayed them?

AH: That is a complete illusion. The divine cannot forsake anyone because the divine is living as a spark within everyone. When you wake up and see the divine light, you see that the whole universe is radiating from that light. All matter is frozen light and all beings, good and evil, are pillowcases stuffed with light.

The idea of being abandoned by God is just that: It is an idea, a concept born out of a very incomplete knowledge of the divine.

It can only be healed by radical knowledge of gnosis, of mystical illumination. When you take the path to that illumination, you realize that it is not God who is abandoning you. By retreating into your ego, into your self-concern, into the agendas of your illusory fantasies about life, you are abandoning God. God is always here. God is always available. God is always extending infinite love.

Rumi says this with characteristic brilliance:

The wine of divine Grace is limitless.

All limits come only from the fault of the cup.

White light stretches from horizon to horizon.

How much it fills your room depends on the windows.

Grant a great dignity my friend, to the cup of your life.

Eternal life has designed it to hold eternal wine.

Rumi is making clear what all the mystics of all the traditions discover: divine grace is always flowing. And as Ramakrishna said, “The winds of grace may be always flowing, but we forget to hoist our sails.”

FMT: Since the stakes are so high, the divine

4

awakening one community at a time . . . is asking for its heart to be broken.

AH: I think the hear t of the divine has been broken again and again since the beginning of time.

To undertake the adventure of incarnation is to invite radical and terrifying heartbreak. Anyone who comes into contact with the Mother side of God has come into contact with what Jewish, Christian and Sufi mystics call the heartbreak of God at our forgetfulness of the divine, our maltreatment of the sacred, our brutality towards each other – at our insane cruelty.

FMT: How can someone open the door to their closet mystic?

AH: There are three essential ways to open the door to the closet mystic: A discipline of meditation which enables you to experience the divine sun of consciousness behind the passing clouds of thought.

A discipline of prayer which enables you to experience the rapture of being able to commune with the force that your deepest self is in touch with.

And a discipline of ser vice in which you express what you learn from meditation and prayer in real work of love in the world.

Those three disciplines of meditation, prayer and service, done with great humility and faith, are invitations for divine grace to take away “the me.” Over time, the innate divine nature is revealed; when it is revealed, everything is changed and a wholly divine nature of consciousness, power, generosity and passion are installed in the human being.

Andrew Harvey is Founder Director of the Institute of Sacred Activism, an international organization focused on inviting concerned people to take up the challenge of our contemporary global crises by becoming inspired, effective, and practical agents of institutional and systemic change, in order to create peace and sustainability. The largescale practice of Sacred Activism can become an essential force for preserving and healing the planet and its inhabitants.

SimpleMEDITATION WITH LINDA CLAIR

WITH PETER FENNER, PHD Non-sectarian meditation teacher and author of the book, ‘What Do You Want?’

Leader in the adaption and transmission of Asian nondual wisdom worldwide

Beyond Enlightenment

Question: What did you experience at the moment of enlightenment?

Linda: It wasn’t just a moment.

It was just the culmination of years of practice. What happened was so amazing at the time but now I hardly remember it. That’s what’s so amazing about this state. You let go of everything, even that point which people find incredibly fascinating.

For me, as I’ve said, as it was happening – I’ve said it a lot of times before – it was like a fairy tale come true. That was the feeling.

It was like, ‘How can this really be happening?’ I remember as a child sometimes there would be fairy tales or things like Santa Claus and the Easter bunny and sometimes I’d pretend they were true for a while and then suddenly I’d realise, ‘Ah, it’s not really true.’ This was the other way around. It was like the fairy tale was true.

What I saw as reality became incredibly unreal. What I thought was unreal became real and much more tangible than anything in this worldly existence. It was like the Absolute just became real, tangible even though I couldn’t touch it, taste it or feel it. And, there was no question about it. There was no question in me, ‘Is this it?’ It was just completely obvious. And then all my questions went. All my pain went.

And I was in pain up until that point.

It took a few days. It happened over a few days. It wasn’t just click, that’s it. It just happened over a few days, really softly. There were no explosions, and bright lights. You like to think that there are. It was so simple and so ordinary, it was shocking.

There was such beauty and such

simplicity, such gratitude, such love. . . but it wasn’t projective at all. It was just incredibly soft and incredibly ordinary and incredibly natural as if everything in the universe just clicked into place. All my life made complete sense, everything that had happened, all the seemingly bad bits and good bits and why I did this and why I did that. There was no question about that anymore.

I finished the retreat and went home, got up the next day and had breakfast.

Question: Did you continue to meditate after you were enlightened?

Some people say that once you are enlightened, it’s over; it’s the end . . .

Linda: It’s never over – it never ends. After realisation, I saw that there was still residual past in me, and meditating and teaching accentuated that. I felt it. It would highlight anything that was there, and it gave me this desire to be even more pure. I didn’t feel completely honest sometimes sitting up there when there was still some impurity there, and I would express it at times. I just wanted to be completely pure – not for me, but for ‘this’. Before that, I was meditating for me. I wanted to feel OK. I thought I wanted something for me. And then when it happens you realise you haven’t been doing it for you. It’s for ‘this’- for humanity. So, after realisation the intention behind wanting to become more pure changes. But then you get to a point where you just have to accept, ‘I’m human’, and with that there is an even deeper realisation, an even deeper acceptance of everything.

Complete Fulfillment (Dzogchen)

There is no need to reject or appropriate anything, or to refute or establish any position, because reality is unbiased. This is Complete Fulfillment – the optimum peak of all spiritual perspectives. - Longchenpa

So, this was a deeper stage of enlightenment, and it took 7 years for me to get to this stage. You have to come to terms with the absolute and the relative. And, that’s a huge thing. Then there’s a much deeper sense of ease, acceptance and union.

Question: Is this union with something else?

Linda: There’s nothing else.

That’s what I realised. There’s nothing else. There’s just union.

So, I’ve got no idea who I am and that’s fine. I accept that. I’m not thinking who I am; there’s no selfconsciousness; there’s nothing happening, in a way, but there is. It’s impossible to describe, really . . .

Linda Clair is a non-sectarian teacher and author of the book, ‘What Do You Want?’ She holds meditation sessions and retreats in Melbourne, Adelaide, Canada and the USA. She is currently also working on her second book.

The Complete Fulfillment tradition differs from other spiritual approaches because it doesn’t provide a path. We don’t traverse any territory with this approach. Nor do we arrive at some spiritual destination.

In this tradition there is nothing to gain or lose, because the experience transcends the need to avoid suffering, or achieve liberation.

Nothing contradicts or threatens this experience, since everything that we have ever thought, done, or experienced is an expression of a state of complete fulfillment. In the Complete Fulfillment tradition reactive emotions and burdensome thoughts release themselves. In contrast to most other spiritual approaches, “we do not contrive or condition (our mind) by suppressing (experiences), or applying remedies, but rather let (the mind) rest naturally in whatever (condition we find it).” The contemporary Complete Fulfillment master, Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, explains this process more fully. He writes: When we speak of the path of self-liberation, there is neither a concept of renunciation, because if it is always my energy manifesting, then it can manifest in many different ways: nor is there a concept of transformation, because the principle here is that I find myself in a state of pure presence, of contemplation. If I find myself for an instant in a state of contemplation, then from that point of view, wrath and compassion are one and the same.

Good and evil are one and same. In that condition there is nothing to do; one liberates oneself, because one finds oneself in one’s own dimension of energy without escaping and without renouncing anything. This is the principle of self-liberation.

Self-liberation, or the spontaneous release of reactive emotions, occurs as a natural consequence of identifying with awareness-as-such.

When our awareness ceases to be conditioned by the act of compulsively or intentionally engaging and disengaging with different sensations, then thoughts and feelings float through our awareness like clouds in the sky. Emotions dissolve like snow falling on the warm water of our panoramic awareness.

SPONTANEOUSLY LIBERATING OUR SUFFERING

The ability to spontaneously liberate constricting emotions and compulsive thoughts occurs because we neither grasp onto, nor suppress any arising thought, feeling, or perception. As Longchenpa writes, “We don’t discard (some experiences) and cultivate (others). (Whether our experiences) are dynamic or stable we should let them go wherever they want to go.”

“When the mind is in a diffusing or dynamic state we aren’t discouraged, and when it is calm and stable we desist from wanting (it to continue in that state).”

Consequently, we don’t judge

awakening one community at a time . . .

some experiences to be sublime and others profane. We don’t make more out of our experience than what is immediately given. We don’t enhance or accentuate our experience, but nor do we trivialize it, or devalue it. Basically, we don’t intervene, or meddle in our experience, in any way at all. Our experience is natural, unaffected, unmanipulated, and free from contrivance. This practice is called “leaving what appears just as it is.”

DISCERNING NONAPPRAISAL

In the Complete Fulfillment there is no deliberate attentiveness because this conditions our experience. Nor is there a need to refute, or establish any truths or theses, because the experience isn’t influenced by our beliefs. In this way we remain in a free state of discerning non-appraisal. In this tradition it isn’t necessary to remove thoughts or emotions in order to achieve freedom. What is required is that we are no longer conditioned by thoughts and emotions. As Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche writes: One’s passions only grow powerful because one is ignorant of the state of pure presence, and so consequently one follows after one’s passions. But when one finds oneself in the state of the pure presence of the passions, one is not dominated by them nor does one have to suppress them because they are like the ornaments of one’s primordial state. Thus one’s passions are self- liberated into their own condition whenever they arise.

When bare awareness has been activated, thoughts and emotions are no longer a conditioning agent.

Even though we may engage in thinking and be subject to emotional responses, thoughts and emotions no longer cause or condition our present and future mental states.

Thoughts and feelings arise, but are freed in the sense that they are merely a presence or happening occurring within the real dimension of our being (dharmata).

In this tradition the only discipline is to stay in a natural and unfabricated state of bare aware- ness.

The single commitment on this path is to be aware, knowing both that we cannot do this, and that awareness itself is not an existing thing. Even so, the earlier paths come into play because the cultivation and maintenance of this awareness is achieved by avoiding the opposing states of drowsiness and elation. Behaviorally this means that practitioners avoid actions and environments which stimulate depression, boredom, lethargy, excitement, agitation, etc. However, once we are in that state there is nothing that we can do to enhance it, or destroy it. Furthermore, we see that all the effort we have applied to gain this experience has neither contributed to, nor detracted from, it’s occurrence, since it is the primordial and unconditioned nature of being as such.

Adapted from the introduction to the book, Longchenpa and Peter Fenner, The Natural Freedom of Being: a contemporary commentary on a traditional Complete Fulfillment (Dzogchen) text.

Awakening to what is always naturally present Q & A with Enza Vita, author of “Always Already Free” Q: My teacher’s advice is to keep the attention as much as possible on consciousness by asking yourself, every time you are distracted, “What am I giving my attention to?”

ENZA: Yes, mindfulness to one’s power of attention is a type of meditation practice which helps cut the involvement of the mind but this attention is itself a phenomenon or movement that arises in awareness and is seen by awareness.

What is it that is aware of attention? What is aware of its presence or absence? There is something

behind and before the attention that is even simpler, more subtle, and existing without effort. What is that?

This is where you must do away with answers—intellectual, mental, or verbal. Here only direct realization will do.

Ever ything that we can perceive—you, me, world, problems, and solutions—is all before the awareness that we are. It is a witnessing of the screen of consciousness and all that flows through the screen of consciousness. But who and what is the witness itself?

These are the questions that you

need to ask yourself. The words are pointing to something. What are they pointing to?

The point is not to find an answer.

If you find an answer, throw it away.

Any answer you find is useless.

Q: Can a teacher or guru help me to realize my true nature? And how would I go about choosing one?

ENZA: There is only one teacher and that is presence. My suggestion is that you stay with that one.

The true guru is a manifestation of your true nature, as it ex-

ists internally and appears to exist externally. The true guru is actually you made manifest, not as you think you are but the real you, presence/ awareness itself. Since who you truly are is the totality of being, you are capable of generating many forms, both human and non-human, to bring the focus of the illusionary seeker back to itself. “Guru” is really another word for awareness.

In regard to the human teacher, be guided, first of all, by love. Follow your heart and see where it takes you. If one day you meet someone in whose company you find you can be yourself, and if you feel clear, peaceful, happy, and your mind becomes calm for no apparent reason, you may like to keep his or her company from time to time.

Jean Klein, a well-known speaker and author on the subject of nonduality, said, “You will know a true teacher because you will feel yourself, in your autonomy, in his or her presence.”

With the true teacher you are free to be yourself rather than bound by rules and agendas. The true teacher doesn’t take the identity and role of the teacher seriously and has no need for his/her students to feel complete.

The greatness of a teacher is not in psychic powers, lineages, or credentials, in the numbers of followers or eloquence or intellect or charisma. Greatness is the extent to which the vehicle has been taken over by the realization and has ceased grasping.

When you meet such a teacher, there is actually nobody there. Apart from thoughts and concepts of a separate self, there is nobody there

in either of you. In reality there is no difference between you and the guru, as there is no difference between the space in this cup and the space in that cup. The cup cannot limit the all-pervasive space.

Ultimately, there are no teachers or teachings because there aren’t any students. There is only ever unconditional presence—Oneness meeting Itself as That.

It brings us to a deep awareness of what it truly means to study and realize the self and our intrinsic true nature as that which is already perfect, whole and complete. A book certainly worthy of your time and attention.

TheENNEAGRAM

WITH DAMIAN AMAMOO

WITH SAHAJA

The Enneagram of True Insight This series of articles is an offering to those on a path of serious self inquiry. It introduces something we could call a ‘tool’, but which actually depicts what you are already very familiar with, whether consciously or subconsciously. Enneagrams when described in very simple terms, are a collection of nine pointed symbols.

They represent experienced reality from the perspective of nine different flavours of egoic identity, and the corresponding vir tues, ideas and flavour of your true nature that are experienced with self realisation as ego is transcended. As an experience, this could be described as the shift from living the subjective experience of the egoic knot, to that of the objective reality of true nature/presence. These enneagrams introduce supportive, discriminating insight that can be a fundamental asset to complement self inquiry.

They have the capacity to assist us in clearly identifying who we are not, and hence with vigilance, we can be aware of when we are moving away from living as presence, and back into an egoic, survival focused human ‘animal’. When used in this way they can assist deepening self realisation and conscious living. They can also show us the living potential when we are no longer misidentifying with a separate egoic self, and assist us in recognising our opening into the beauty of experiencing our objective wholeness.

Much of personal human suffering and that caused by our actions directed toward other people and the environment, is the direct result of living from the egoic knot, and lack of realisation of our true nature. While we are caught in the egoic knot we go forth from an independent, personal and self-centred

world. We don’t even appreciate that somebody else can experience the world in a very different way that could be entirely foreign from our own experience and viewpoint. The enneagram of character fixation can give us insight into the nine ways in which people experience reality, and assist us in distinguishing when we are caught up in our own personal identity. For some this is suffering, for others the suffering is masked. Once we are aware that we are caught up in a mechanism of a ‘personal self’, we have the choice whether we are going to be run by it, or to live from presence. This is a paradigm shift in living.

Let’s look a little closer. At some point in our manifest experience, there is an arising of an egoic self that perceives itself to be a separate identity and body. In it’s quest for survival, imitation of presence, compensation for what is felt to be lost, and search for happiness, it goes forth in the world being run by a combined set of instinctive, primal, animal drives and character fixations. Life is lived trying to control ‘my’ world, stay safe, get love and find fulfilment. The ego in service to our DNA, would also have us believe that the animal drives of self preservation, social constructs and sexual reproduction, are essential priorities that we must consciously, or subconsciously, obey to be happy and fulfilled. These are the building blocks of egoic experience, and each of us has a unique mixture of elements of the nine fixations and three animal drives, but there will be one fixation and drive which is the primary way which dictates how we respond, react, and experience the world.

Per sonality can be a flavour

resulting from our par ticular upbringing, genetic inheritance, and life circumstances. Personality can be changed, whilst the character fixations are what make up the core bedrock, or foundation, of our egoic experience. Character is where our core difficulties and painful issues are crystallised. Unless we are willing to meet these core issues they will continue to show up in our lives with fresh circumstances and continually invite us to a deeper discovery. Changing personality can bring relative improvements, whilst investigating character can bring transformation and transcendence.

Over the next three editions we’ll explore the nine types of egoic knot in their associated groupings of mental (fear points), physical (anger points) and emotional (image points/neediness).

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

- Oscar Wilde

Hi there dreamers! In the last article we looked at the differences between the lower and upper Astral planes. In this article we will look at communication on the Astral Plane and how it differs from communication in our normal physical world.

We will also look at some of the technologies that can be employed by others to facilitate their Astral communication, and we’ll go as far as even putting forward some suggestions for your Astral etiquette!

Probably the biggest difference between communication on the Astral plane and the physical world is that 98% of people who communicate with you on the Astral plane whilst dreaming will not remember anything about the exchange in the morning. Some people may have a vague impression that they spoke with someone but most often they will not remember what exactly was said or felt during the exchange.

Some of you will then question ‘what is the point of Astral communication if it’s not fully remembered?’ and to this we will say that Astral communication is a positive framework for expression because it: • provides a legitimate way for people to reach each other regardless of distance • allows the psyche freedom by expressing denied or not acted on feelings during the day • allows for unique emotionally significant interactions with others • permits a much wider range of interactions than normal physical communication • provides oppor tunities for communication with people beyond our present timeline Let’s look at these four dot points one by one in more detail.

Astral communication - A legitimate way for people to reach each other regardless of distance

It’s possible to Astrally ‘dial up’ and interact with people that you have never met before, people you would like to meet and also people that you know quite well. How does this happen? Well you will remember from previous articles, that everyone has their own individual pitch or frequency of vibration that is unique just to them. This provides a signature or number if you like, that can be dialled up by others who wish to communicate with them Astrally, even over large geographical distances.

However, I am glossing over a quite intricate, delicate and advanced filtering process that goes on as many subtle processes are involved that allow us to have some control over who we interact with.

Including mechanisms for you to drop, or block a connection should you feel motivated to do so by an act of your will.

Now lets look at the second dot point.

Astral communication - as and outlet

for expressing denied emotions

I may as well ‘out it’ right here by saying that billions of people use Astral communication as way of acting out denied sexual feelings and impulses with others. This activity can range from harmless fantasy type of interactions between consenting individuals to situations where people feel violated, interfered or ‘slimed’ by another person.

One of the most common questions people worry about is “should I feel guilty about liaisons on the Astral plane? Is it equivalent to cheating on my partner?” And the simple answer is feeling guilty about what happens is the worse thing you can do because the Astral framework is designed to help people assuage and release guilt from their psyche, not to create new guilt.

But equally, a note of caution to those who think the Astral plane is a free ticket for debauched intentions or a misuse of sexual power over others. They would do well to keep in mind that we are all our karmically accountable for our actions on the Astral plane. And the karmic consequences will accrue regardless of whether we or the other people involved can remember what happened or not.

So in summary, yes play and stay but be aware and show some level of etiquette and care as well.

Now on to the third dot point; Astral communication - allows for unique emotionally significant interactions with others

One of the most common reasons for Astral communication between people has to do with psychologically preparing /organising future activity.

Your psyche generally does not like to experience shocks, and so the Astral provides a way of lining up, filtering and choosing people, events and situations that we want make real - before we meet them.

For example, we commonly send out our Astral body like a type of indestructible reconnaissance worker to survey the personality or person we are considering meeting or meeting the next day perhaps. Usually we are looking for information about their intentions, what makes them tick and what kind of person they really are. The information we find is usually fed back to us at the sub or below conscious level and approximates to a gut feeling we have about the person we are going to meet.

Unless of course we are dreaming consciously or lucidly which means on waking we will have a direct memory of the information that was obtained.

Now on to the fourth dot point; Astral communication - permits a much wider range of interactions than normal physical communication

Now this may seem a little farfetched for some of you, but for those of you who love plants or

animals and are interested in being able to receive occasional impressions from these wonderful kingdoms of beings, then developing your Astral skills can open you up to a new world of wonder and friendship.

The best thing about this is you are getting feedback that enables you to live more harmoniously.

If you are interested in finding out more about this type of Astral interaction I encourage you to seek me out on email or the phone for more details.

Now to the fifth dot point Astral communication communication with people beyond our present timeline.

There are many devices available in the Astral that allow for all sorts of amazing connections to take place.

Some devices allow for an active type of remote viewing as if you were looking through an incredibly long pipe. Other devices can actually take you to the place you want to view and suspend you in a type of cleary gel / water like substance whilst you are looking down onto the real scene.

Some of the most amazing devices are used by high-powered professionals such as politicians and large company CEO’s who have huge numbers of request for astral communication from others.

These devices can be like a ‘car body’ of light that you are allowed to step into and ride with them for 2-3 precious seconds to get your mental point across to them.

Or alternatively, another one that may be used is like an astral recording device where they give you a question about a given issue and then record your overall emotional thought response over the next 2-3 seconds, at which time the device wraps the package and sends it back to the enquiring person instantaneously.

In the next article we will begin to look at the Mental body, how it differs from the Astral body and how it relates to our dreaming experience.

Happy Dreaming!

MONEYMindset WITH DR ANDREW POWELL

Chiropractor & Kinesiologist

Create The Channel For Wealth To Flow To You

Recently I was asked the question, “Andrew, if I had 1 million dollars in cash sitting here right now, what could you exchange me for it?”

What a great question. What would your answer be? I’ve since asked quite a few people that same question and most of them are totally stumped by it. They’ve never even considered it. After a few umms and ahhs most people come up with some form of exchanging their time for it, generally in the way they are used to working at their job. For example, trading their skills as an accountant, or a massage therapist, or a (fill in the blank). The problem with that is, depending on your hourly rate, for most people it’s going to be a long time before you get your hands on that million.

For example, at $50 an hour it’s going to take you 20,000 hours to get there. That’s a long time! Yet often these are the same people who are diligently attempting to “manifest” their millions. They’re meditating on abundance. They’re visualising money flowing to them.

They’re affirming how magnetic they are to money. They’re clearing their limiting beliefs and all their sabotaging money programming. They’re

doing all these wonderful things (all of which I totally support by the way), but they haven’t created the channel for all that abundance to flow to them!

It’s a little bit like expecting to win the lottery, even though you never buy a lottery ticket. It just doesn’t generally work that way, no matter how positive or spiritual you are. You have to create the channel.

We live in a truly abundant universe, which is just waiting to deliver us our dreams and desires, but it will never value us one bit more than we value ourselves. It works like this- we pray, meditate or set our intention “Universe, please give me $1 million”. The universe says “OK, no problem, just show me how I can deliver it to you.”

This is where many people come unstuck. If your only channel to receive that money is through your job, you’re likely going to be waiting (and working) a long time. Sure occasionally miracles do happen… we can have a long lost rich uncle pass away and leave us his fortune, or find a hidden pile of cash out of nowhere, but those things aren’t everyday occurrences. They’re called one in a million chances for

a reason.

So what could you do to create more channels for the universe to provide your millions? What gift, talent, service, skill, product or idea do you have to offer? Are you great with computers? Do you have a talent for organising closets and decluttering homes? Do you have a great eye for colour, or fashion, or make up?

Are you a fantastic parent? Do your friends all come to you for relationship advice? Are you a green thumb who can make anything grow?

Believe it or not, all of those things have created financial freedom for someone. All of them have become channels for the universe to provide millions. These days the world is so connected that whatever you have to offer, I guarantee someone out there is looking for exactly that and is happy to pay handsomely for it. You just have to find a way to connect with them.

What if you could offer people your complete system for achieving XYZ (whatever your unique passion is) for $1000? Now you only need to find 1000 people to connect with. What about if you could offer someone a year of 1-on-1 mentoring with you in your specific area of inspiration for $10,000? Then you only need to find 100 people… now you’re really creating a great channel for the universe to deliver your million bucks.

Do you see how this works? The more ways you provide for abundance to start showing up in your life, the easier (and faster) it gets for the universe to deliver what you want. But if you just keep doing the same old thing year in and year out, plodding along and wishing the universe would hurry up and manifest

Or Pushing It Away?

awakening one community at a time . . . your riches, you’re probably going to be waiting a long time.

Many people will read this and simply shrug it off, saying things like “that’s alright for you Andrew, but it doesn’t really apply to me. I don’t have anything valuable to offer.”

And my answer to that? BS!!!

There are teenage girls making money sharing their makeup tips online. I know a lady who is passionate about essential oils and now runs aromatherapy tours, taking people to France to see where lavender comes from and visiting other exotic locations around the world.

I’ve even heard of a lady who loved dancing so much she began taking people on tango tours! The only limit is your imagination.

I’ve worked on this topic with thousands of people in my programs and I’m yet to find anyone who didn’t have something valuable and unique inside of them. You do have something worth sharing with the world… I’m completely certain of it. Some of us just have to dig a bit deeper than others to uncover what that is. But it’s there, I guarantee it and the sooner you start finding it, the sooner you start creating your channel, the sooner you will achieve your financial freedom.

By setting our intentions, we allow the vibration of these energy fields to magnify our aspirations.

Learn to trust and allow, to let go of expectations and invite your heart to guide you into the unknown with joy and passion.’

Minds Ease with Julia Chai

Not Happy with the Story of your Life? Change it Instantly… You Have Free Will.

Let me show you how. I have the technique to give you access to your subconscious. Hypnosis can take you safely into trance to identify the underlying program your subconscious mind is currently running.

Use NLP to lift embedded patterning that no longer serves you. In this way you can remove emotional baggage from the past and begin a new chapter.

My clients have used this process to successfully identify and release

underlying triggers for anxiety, depression, messed up relationships, endometriosis, chronic fatigue, eczema and fibromyalgia. For each of them the story of what led them into this state was different. For some it was an incident in childhood, some as teenagers, some from past lives.

Whenever it happened does not matter. What matters is to heal the cause, so you can be free again.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate” Carl Gustav Jung Minds Ease Hypnotherapy & NLP services to release toxic thought patterns, habits, dis-ease programs and addictions from your life.

Do you sit and wonder what the New Year has i n s t o r e fo r you, or do you already have an inkling of what awaits?

Do you know your life’s purpose?

Some people are fortunate and find their life’s purpose early, for others it comes much later. For years, I thought that my life’s purpose was my career as a primary school teacher. Then, I “discovered” the healing power of Reiki. I became a practitioner. In 2000, I heard about The Jour ney™ which wor ks on cellular healing. The Journey work resonated very powerfully. I became a Journey Practitioner.

In 2013, a chance encounter led me to a writers’ retreat. I explored the possibility of completing a story I’d begun over twenty years ago.

In October, 2014, “Stargazer” was published. The writing of “Stargazer” was a profound experience for me. So much of what I had learned in those twenty years found itself written into the story.

Is “Stargazer” part of my life’s purpose? I believe it is. Perhaps as we grow emotionally and spiritually, we encounter more than one life’s purpose. May you all have the courage to find and embrace your life’s purpose in the New Year!

In The Light of Truth -The Grail Message by ABD-RU-SHIN

The author writes: I am addressing ear nest seekers only. They must be able and willing to examine this matter objectively! Religious fanatics and irresponsible enthusiasts my hold aloof, for they are detrimental to the truth. As for the malevolent and non-objective, they shall find their sentence in the very words.

The message will strike only those who still carry within them a spark of truth, and the yearning to be true human beings. To all such it will become the shining light and staff. It will lead them unswervingly out of all the chaos of the presentday confusion. The following word does not bring a new religion, but is intended as the torch to help all serious readers find the right path, which leads them to the longed-for height. Only he who bestirs himself can advance spiritually. The fool who uses extraneous aids for this, in the form of the ready-made opinions of others, walks his path only as if on crutches, while ignoring his own healthy limbs.

But the moment he boldly uses all the abilities which lie dormant within him awaiting his call, to help in his ascent, he is employing the talent entrusted to him in accordance with his Creator's will, and will easily overcome all obstacles that seek to divert him. - Abd-Ru-Shin

Heart Mala Sacred Jewellery

Hear t Mala Sacred Jeweller y showcases an exquisite collection of Mala Pr ayer Beads, Sacr ed Geometr y and Yoga Jewellery which harness the power of ancient knowledge and healing gemstones. Created by the Byron Bay designer Haidee Turner for the modern yogi and for those who love the healing gifts of sacred geometry and the magic of crystal medicine.

Mala Prayer Beads have been used by mystics in the Vedic, Hindu and Buddhist traditions since the dawn of time. Worn as sacred “power tools” for enlightenment and to assist in awakening the soul to the divine truth of existence by assisting in the practice of meditation, yoga, chanting and prayer. Heart Malas have the auspicious number of 108 beads of Rudraksha and healing gemstones which contain universal energies to facilitate healing.

Each bead represents one mantra, prayer or your own personal affirmation, to be repeated 108 times until the guru bead is reached which validates the end of one round in the prayer cycle.

Each Hear t Mala prayer bead necklaces embodies specific healing and metaphysical properties. Recognizing the magical and symbiotic connection that exists between human beings and the mineral kingdom can greatly enrich our lives. Sacred Jewellery can be used for spiritual practice, healing, to enhance peace of mind, assist in creating a more focused yoga routine or for the pure joy of wearing a necklace of beauty. At Heart Mala, we believe, by simply wearing sacred jewellery, you are setting an intention to align with joy, healing & love.

Where to from Here?

What is spirit? Soul? Wisdom?

Love? Friendship? What is a spirit

guide? Where do we go when we die? These are some of the topics delivered by Josef in the recently published “Where to from Here?”

Josef Boschitschek was a highly evolved medium who underwent many initiations. During his lifetime Josef used his knowledge, his wisdom, to help many people deal with problems in their lives. Using the Spiritualist Church as a platform, he discussed a wide range of topics chosen by members of the audience after a passage from the Bible was read.

Josef used these readings from the Bible as starting points for considering how life in this world works: how to look at and understand what really happens, not what we are told to believe. What is the right way to live? This is the essential theme of these ‘talks’. Eighty three lectures were delivered and recorded over a period of eight years (1976 – 1983). These lectures or ‘talks’ have been compiled in chronological order in this book. Each subject is treated with clarity, while succinctly and powerfully challenging the reader to reflect and focus on his/her own experiences.

In publishing these ‘talks ’or lectures it is hoped that the greater awareness promoted in them will assist the individual soul’s journey.

Hence the title of this book: “Where to from Here?”

To purchase copies of “Where to from Here?” please contact Jacek Piesiewicz. E: jpiesiew@bigpond. net.au M: 0420 657 401 Also available as an ebook and can be downloaded from the website wheretofromherethebook.com.

Ajna Light

Amazing Entr ainment device that accelerates mental, emotional and spiritual growth and wellbeing via cutting edge Light Self Therapy (LST) technology.

One session can bring about deep and lasting degrees of awakening, insight and self-healing. Ajna Light is an innovative and highly effective device which easily and rapidly brings the user into a deeply relaxed, meditative state. The Ajna Light works through brainwave entrainment using very powerful flickering light. The light sequences take you through a series of brainwave states to open up and activate the pineal gland. This type of Light Self Therapy (LST) causes the pineal

gland to produce DMT, providing intense meditative inner visionary experiences.

People who are under stress, no matter how busy their mind is analyzing and worrying about things they cannot control, still respond physiologically to the brainwave entrainment. Within ten minutes most people release the stress in their body, even if they remain actively thinking during the entire light session. The body knows how to respond to the light patterns and automatically relax.

Ajna Light is a spiritual tool which accelerates the learning of meditation with no effor t by the user. It magnifies the inner experience of prayer and yoga by creating direct personal interaction with guides and higher consciousness. These effects occur because the Ajna Light activates the pineal gland, which is the third eye or Ajna Chakra.

Ajna Light is now available in Australia.

Dry Heated H2O Massage Therapy

An introduction to the benefits of dry heated H2O Massage Therapy Massage therapy provides relief to people from all walks of life such as athletes, over stressed executives, home gardeners just to name a few. The physical benefits can include stretching connective tissue, loosen tight muscles to increase flexibility, speed recovery from injury and illness and strengthen the immune system by improving blood circulation and lymph in your lymphatic system which helps your body fight infection. The stimulated release of endorphins (your body’s natural painkiller) into the brain and nervous system reduces your feelings of pain and discomfort without the use of unnatural drugs. Mentally it can reduce stress and promote better sleep by relaxing tense muscles and calming the nervous system. When this happens your blood pressure lowers your hear t rate settles and your breathing becomes deeper and more rhythmic priming you for better sleep.

A Gift of Crystal An Act of Good

It’s been said that gifting a crystal is akin to offering a healing. Ancient and modern cultures alike believe that crystals emit cer tain vibrations, and that by keeping one close or meditating in their presence can help balance and heal one’s body, mind and spirit. Consider: science informs us that all matter is merely energy condensed to a vibration – and at an atomic level, crystals consist of highly symmetrical lattice-like formations which resonate at their own unique frequency. Interestingly, when light strikes a crystal, it not only captures, refracts and reinterprets that light, but its energetic state undergoes a quantifiable change. With regular proximity to such crystalline beauty, harmonic perfection and purity of light that our own bodies and brains imperceptibly pick up on these emis-

These unique and very original 3 dimensional light sculptures have been the passion of Richard, the Artisan for some time. Lamps are carved from Camphor Laurel. They have a fine smooth curved wood back, which is the key to showing off the colours inside without any glare.

These beautiful pieces have come to us to be set free… They are truly amazing pieces of timber with tremendous character.

The shimmers and highlights in this wood are really incredible. The designs are a perfect silhouette against the painted sunrise background.

Kuvings Silent Juicer or Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer

Kuvings Whole Slow Juicing has become the new revolution in juicing for good health.

Why is that?

Drinking cold press is the quickest way to absorb 65% of the nutrients into your body within 15 minutes, and with today’s most popular super fruits and vegetables, such as pomegranate, papaya and kale they can boost immunity and energy, and assist in healing. The best way to reduce exposure to preservatives and other synthetic additives is to consume as many fresh and natural foods as possible.

Juicing makes this easy, tasty and enjoyable for everyone to take the first step to a healthier lifestyle.

Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, said, “Let your food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food.”

The next impor tant decision is choosing the right juicer! Not everyone understands the difference between a cold press and a centrifugal juicer. But once you taste the difference and then feel the difference there is no going back.

Kuvings provides a choice of two models, the Kuvings Silent Juicer where you cut up the fruit and vegetables for $499 and the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer where you can put the whole fruit and vegetable for $599.

The Kuvings Cold Press Juicer preserves the nutrients, enzymes, taste and smells by squeezing and pressing the fruit and vegetables rather than grinding and chewing like a traditional centrifugal juicer.

The gentle motion of the auger does not damage the enzymes therefore retaining full nutritional value. There is no heat or friction, no oxidisation which creates layer separation. This is the true difference between a cold press juicer and a centrifugal juicer.

The Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer preserves the nutrients found in fresh produce while yielding the most juice and flavour. Juicing is a wonderful way to incorporate a variety of nourishing fruits and vegetables into your diet. It does not take a lot of time and the results of making your own homemade juice is delicious for you and your family!

The other wonderful thing about the Kuvings is, it not only makes juices but it makes nut milks, frozen desserts, sorbets, ice cream, gelato, smoothies, sauces, baby food and nut butters with the optional accessories available.

View all our recipe videos on www.kuvings.net.au/juice-recipes Did you know, when you drink a smoothie you retain 17% of the nutrients and it takes 3 hours to digest. Kuvings allows you to choose to have a smoothie or a cold press juice.

The Kuvings accessories include a smoothie and frozen dessert maker set for $69.

Juicing can be a delicious way to youthful vitality with either the Kuvings Silent Juicer or Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer www.kuvings.net.au Ph: 02 9798 0586

Experience OBE’s… Deeply relax… Be Meditated!

Easy, fast and effective transformational & healing tool!

Amazing Entrainment device that accelerates mental, emotional and spiritual growth and wellbeing via cutting edge Light Self Therapy (LST) technology. One session can bring about deep and lasting degrees of awakening, insight and self-healing.

• Accesses profound meditative states usually only available through long and arduous periods of deep meditation.

• Light frequencies very quickly relax the user’s body, even if their mind is busy • Rapidly centres and clears the mind when the user lets go of control • Completely safe - altered states of consciousness stop when session ends • Opens up intuition with practice in a rapid, easy, and relaxed way Ajna Light is an innovative and highly effective device which easily and rapidly brings the user into a deeply relaxed, meditative state. The Ajna Light works through brainwave entrainment using very powerful flickering light. The light sequences take you through a series of brainwave states to open up and activate the pineal gland. This type of Light Self Therapy (LST) causes the pineal gland to produce DMT, providing intense meditative inner visionary experiences.

People who are under stress, no matter how busy their mind is analyzing and worrying about things they cannot control, still respond physiologically to the brainwave entrainment. Within ten minutes most people release the stress in their body, even if they remain actively thinking during the entire light session. The body knows how to respond to the light patterns and automatically relax.

Ajna Light is a spiritual tool which accelerates the learning of meditation with no effort by the user. It magnifies the inner experience of prayer and yoga by creating direct personal interaction with guides and higher consciousness. These effects occur because the Ajna Light activates the pineal gland, which is the third eye or Ajna Chakra.

Guy Harriman is the inventor of the revolutionary Ajna Light. He worked as a chip designer for 23 years, including 4 years with Steve Jobs at NeXT, and 6 years at Cisco Systems, the fastest growing company in Silicon Valley in the 1990s.

Guy was the first yoga teacher at Cisco, and taught yoga in California for 15 years. Guy moved to Chiang Mai full time in 2008, where he built a Healing Centre and there created the Ajna Light in one year, starting in October 2013. He did all the hardware and software design. By October 2014 over 800 people had been on the light. The Ajna Light is being studied at CMU under Dr. Christopher Fisher, a leading Buddhist scholar and doctor of Medicine. Many people have tried it and given valuable feedback, some of which you can see in the YouTube video: Google Ajna Light YouTube.

Testimonial “From the first time being under the Ajna Light, I felt a huge shift in my mental, spiritual and emotional being. The overall experience with the light is relaxing and soothing, yet it is very sensually stimulating! After several encounters, I began to notice a light-hearted, euphoric feeling that seemed to last for days, even into my dreams at night. It assisted me greatly in uncovering subconscious emotional issues, physical trauma, and stress from my past. There was also a significant decrease in my physical pain after using Ajna Light. Even weeks after using this device, I can still feel the effects. This tool is an incredible breakthrough! It embodies great healing effects and the power to help humans in countless ways.”

– Crystal Scarlett, California, USA. “Before experiencing Ajna Light, I had done a number of sessions with Lucia Light and had found this Light Self Therapy (LST) extremely powerful and illuminating. Each session’s effect was quite lasting, often feeling like I’d just come out of a 10 day meditation intensive. What I like about Ajna Light is that the unit is compact and easily transportable, and the cost is very affordable” – Leo Drioli, Adelaide SA.

Ajna Light is now available in Australia.

1 MA Take action to keep up the momentum.

2 3 MB Be practical but not stubborn and adjust to make the most of opportunities.

4 5 MC The best information is that whish is shared.

6 …Full Moon C The Full Moon this month brings news and information which may be surprising, unexpected or upsetting. Although the initial reactions may be negative, it provides a full picture of what is going on. A time to take stock of what has been revealed and to take steps to manage it.

7 8 MD Nurture what is important in order to ensure that you benefit from the results.

9 10 ME Take pride in successes and accept well-earned acknowledgement.

11 12 13 MF Dot the i’s and cross the t’s to minimise misunderstanding and confusion.

14 ƒ 3rd Quarter Moon F The results of recent actions start to bear some fruit and the important thing is to constantly monitor the information so you can adjust actions accordingly. There may be some frustration but small gains are better than none at all.

15 MG A balanced outlook is admirable but not at the expense of your opinion.

16 17 18 MH Overreaction to situations may place you at a disadvantage.

19 20 MI Take a broad view of the situation you will see things not presently apparent.

21 22 Sun enters J MJ ] New Moon J Conservative, Responsible and Practical are traits of a Capricorn The New Moon in Capricorn heralds the beginnings of a period where powerful associations can be developed for mutual benefit. The most important foundation for this is one of mutual respect rather than one-upmanship as this will only erode trust that is necessary in order to achieve success in joint endeavours.

23 24 MK Be objective and think outside the square.

25 26 ML Heed intuition as it brings a different perspective.

27 28 MA Things will be moving quickly so be prepared to act.

3 4 MD An emotional connection dominates now actions.

5 … Full Moon D The first Full Moon of the year is always a surprise as it brings with it the outcome of endeavours over the holiday period; some not so edifying as others.

7 8 9 M F Criticism can be constructive providing alternatives are explored.

4 … Full Moon E The Full Moon in Leo brings perspective and light to the matters at hand. What did not seem possible several weeks ago is now achievable providing you continue to look for alterative options even if tried and true methods are more appealing. This is a test of adaptability and ingenuity. Alternatively, unexpected results may force you to consider other options.

5 MF Be careful that overt criticism does not undermine what has been achieved to date.

6 7 8 MG Having good relations is important but not at the expense of one’s self-worth.

9 10 MH Passion and intensity can colour perspective so try and remain objective.

11 12 ƒ 3rd Quarter Moon H Decisions taken recently generate a lot of activity which has to be managed. There may be stresses as several balls may have to be juggled so be careful that overreactions or emotional outbursts do not add to it. You are better off just walking away to cool off before attempting anything as it will only undermine what you have so far achieved.

13 MI Enthusiasm and energy abound but do not get ahead of yourself.

14 15 MJ Be prepared to set an example with actions as this maintains credibility.

16 17 MK All options are a possibility even if they seem far-fetched.

18 19 ] New Moon K Sun enters L The New Moon in Aquarius turns over a new cycle so use this time to initiate a new project or activity. A lack of clarity may be a hindrance so instead of fretting that you do not know what to do, use the time to tie up loose ends.

Sensitive, Compassionate and Artistic are Piscean traits.

20 21 MA Make the initiative and lead the way in finishing what has been left undone.

22 23 MB Focus on the present and refrain from worrying about what may be.

24 25 MC Avoid procrastinating as you may lose any advantage gained.

26 ‡ 1st Quarter Moon C The air of uncertainty continues but for some it may also bring inspiration. Use the time to experiment with new ideas or concepts, and see where they fit into your life. The challenge now is to give these ideas some form and make them real.

27 MD Do not let emotional ties dictate your actions or responses.

Live Life... Aware

Lunar phases occur as a result of the relationship between the Sun and the Moon. This cyclic relationship produces the lunar cycle and everyone is born at a particular point in this cycle.

A birth can be labelled as a “first quarter” “full moon” or “balsamic”.

The lunar phase a person is born in refers to the relationship between the person’s Sun (the sense of self) with their Moon (their emotional expression and security). Therefore, the lunar phase that a person is born in can reflect how that person deals with life - the nature of the energy and their attitude to life and how they deal with it. The lunation cycle is a visible symbol of our place in the larger cycle of life. Without a calendar, we cannot accurately pinpoint our day of birth, however, we can easily

discern our “Moon” birthday simply by looking at the phase of the Moon.

Every month, each and every one of us resonates to that aspect of the Sun-Moon relationship that is imprinted in our psyches. This describes the basic capacity of the person to relate to life generally.

In order to find the lunation phase you are born under, you can consult an almanac for the year and find out what the Moon phase nearest to when you were born.

Dane Rudhyar, a famous astrologer developed the theory of phases and used it to develop the eight lunation types of personality which we will be discussed in a series of short articles over the coming issues.

A NEW MOON occurs when the Moon is less than 45 degrees ahead of the Sun. For a period of three and a half days every month, there is a New Moon and all births during this period will have a New Moon in their chart.

She is co- principal of ASTRO MUNDI, which offers astrological education for the beginner and the professional. Mari is a Council Member of the Astrological Guild of Educators International and is a founding member of the Forum of Professional Astrologers.

CHRISTMAS Does not have to be Miserable?

Do you dread Christmas?

Is it because of the expense, the forced family get-togethers or the sumptuous foods that pile on the kilos?

Many people tell me of their “none too happy” experiences at this time of the year.

The most common is dealing with family members. Those people whom they would not choose to be their friends. Know the type?

The controllers, the negatives, the “keep up with the Neighbour” types.

How can we prepare to enjoy this time of the year instead of dread it?

Firstly, who are you being to YOU? Whatever fault you are finding in others, there lies some of it in you. Conversely, whatever beauty you find in others, there lies some of it in you. So the first person (and only person!) to change is YOU. What do you do best? Where are you most skilled and talented? How do you receive (gifts, compliments, time) from others? Look for the magic and wonderment that makes up you and you will start to see that in your family members as well. It’s all just a choice.

Next – wor k out what really presses your buttons with the ‘Family Christmas Gathering’. Do the grandchildren drive you nuts? Solutions: have an area set aside just for them; hire a bouncy castle; put breakables out of sight; keep the sugar and soft drinks to a mini-

mum; remove all clutter from the entertaining area. Does eldest sister K____ always have to have her own way? Solution: acknowledge how good she is at doing xyz. Ask her if that is what she wants to do or is there something else? Use ‘I’ statements: I know we usually do ‘ABC’.

This year, because it is at my house, I’m going to do Something Different.

I’d love you to help me with This Part as I know how good you are at it. View everyone as a contribution rather than a contradiction.

Next - share the food. Find out what each person enjoys preparing and delegate. That way everyone has something of what they like and no-one is left out. This also shares the cost with everyone. Develop an awareness around expensive nibblies that contain many artificial chemicals and compliment them with healthier, delicious alternatives.

Cost – presents seem to be the biggest worry for many people.

How much to spend? What to buy?

Solution: Have everyone bring a present at a nominated value and place on the Present Table under the Christmas tree. Everyone who chooses to par ticipate is given a number. The numbers all go into a Santa Hat. The host draws the first number. That person chooses a wrapped gift from the table and picks the next number out of the hat and so on. Various House Rules can be announced at the beginning re

swapping presents. This is so much fun and reduces worry around cost and what to buy for whom.

Prepare your body for Christmas.

Between now and the 24th December, can you take more care than usual of your body? Avoid those cakes, chocolates, fatty cocktail foods. Drink plenty of filtered water (TWO litres per day), despite the alcohol intake. Keep up your exercise regime. Avoid putting off what you usually do for exercise because of the late nights/celebratory parties.

And talking of late nights –make up for them by going to bed earlier the next night. Be kind: to yourself, to the children, to the office staff, to the checkout operator, to the retail salesperson. Did you know each time you smile, you release endorphins or the happy hormones? Your body just loves it.

De-stress with whole food and liquid nutrition. The stress of the Festive Season can impact on our health and enjoyment very quickly.

Keeping to simple eating and having juices every day keeps the body alkaline at the cellular level. There are many natural juices available if you don’t want to juice your own.

One of the best nutritional supplements to keep the body in balance is aloe vera and sea veggies. This combination provides ultra trace minerals not available in our soil and is alkalising. Stress chews up our minerals and can show up as irritability, muscle cramps, lack lustre hair or palpitations, to name a few symptoms. These experiences can come on very suddenly. A powdered or liquid multi mineral supplement that includes a balance of calcium and magnesium will calm the nervous system and help relieve these symptoms. If your hand shakes when you are writing out your Christmas cards, this is a sure sign you are over-stressed.

Listen to your body so that it CAN enjoy Christmas as well as the rest of summer. Heed your body’s messages. Do something different rather than push on. Smile within as well as outwardly. “Just for me.

Just for fun. Don’t tell anyone.” Make conscious choices that will work for you and be a contribution to others.

It is now January. So...you managed to enjoy Christmas more than usual. Congratulations! What’s next?

What other possibilities are there for the rest of summer? As the New Year dawns, our bodies are asking for change....in shape, direction, experiencing new things. What can YOU create this year...for you, for the world? Be in the question and allow for the expansion of more space to create differently this year with peace and joy and a whole heap of FUN. Mavis practices at an integrative centre, with two of her daughters, empowering individuals to create, generate and expand wellness in their lives. As she reversed her chronic fatigue illness in the 1980’s, she and her team now use this experience to expertly coach others towards a life of healthy living and healthy aging.

How To Recover Faster From Your Workout

BY TOM CHO We all love a good workout. It’s invigorating, refreshing and gives you a sense of achievement that lifts your mood. But exercise takes a toll on your body and you get that burning feeling in your muscles that’s unpleasant for most. You may think it’s due to lactic acid but science shows that’s actually not the case. I’ll show you the real reason and how you can recover faster.

The Lactic Acid Myth

Lactic acid is released into the muscles when normal energy stores have been used up. It causes the burning feeling you get when you’re pushing your body for that last rep.

Small amounts of lactic acid act as a temporary source of energy which helps to prevent fatigue while still exercising.

Often muscle soreness and stiffness is experienced a day after a hard workout. This is called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and it’s actually caused by inflammation from microscopic tears in your muscle fibres.

Inflammation you say? You may be thinking anti-inflammatory medication may be the answer then. Over the counter drugs such as ibuprofen have not been shown to reduce muscle damage or soreness and have been linked to intestinal leakage and systemic inflammation. It also wipes out good bacteria in your gut and compromises your immune system so it’s best to stay away.

Sports Drinks, Friend or Foe?

We all know it’s important to stay hydrated but what about spor ts drinks? Do they help recovery?

Sports drinks claim to replace fluids and electrolytes lost during heavy perspiration while exercising. Some

Healing & Reconnection WITH ANTHONY CRAIG

Founder of Spectra Healing & Spectra Activating Consciousness certified Hypnotherapist and Social Worker.

Healing for the Future

For many people 2014 has been a year of turbulence, distractions, health issues, stresses and often exhaustion. It has certainly been a year that has brought many changes not only on personal levels but within societies, governments and indeed the whole planet.- wars, disease, climate change, economic change, terrorism, and the list goes on. Never have people been more unsettled about what the future brings. Many have moved to a reactive mode, often saying it is all beyond our control. But is it?

It is thoughts that shape our journey here on this planet. Duality exists here for a reason. To make our lives more interesting, to give us an opportunity to create a purpose in life and to offer hope through choice.

We must challenge our thoughts, look at the big picture and not get caught up in the shorter term. This universe has been around far longer than any of us and is constantly in a state of flux and growth. Science and spirituality are coming back together again with more recent research and discoveries. In fact they were never apart. Science and spirituality have always underpinned each other. It is just the constructs and beliefs of, relatively speaking, a small number of people that created the divide some few hundred

years ago. Their thoughts had an ongoing impact on the rest of the world because people just accepted them by becoming reactive and then those thoughts became the norm reinforced by most people. People became mundane.

Unfortunately it is in the interests of those who crave power and its accessory, money, to keep control of people’s thoughts through limited dissemination of information , creation of sickness and its drugs, modified foods, instilling fear etc so that their thoughts become the majority and so the dominant ones.

As we awaken we begin to see and remember the big picture that underlies all. We can begin to recognise the grand design, our divine blueprint and our connections to greater worlds.

We can choose to remain mundane and be controlled and manipulated for the thoughts of a few.

Remember the phrase “divide and conquer” We see it happening all around us on a daily level. Let us think past that and think of a way to remove ourselves from the tentacles of short term dramas and come back to the purpose of the grand design.

With the advent of the internet we are able to get a wider source of information about most things and we can begin to see just how controlled

the information we receive through newspapers and radio/television really is. As we spend more time connecting with ourselves, nature and the environment, and the vastness of the universe our eyes also begin to open more and more.

Questions begin to surface and we can begin to make more informed choices. Individual thoughts do influence outcomes. Even just recognition of how we are “dumbed down” through television news and programs and the chemicals in the food and water we consume is a start. Recognition allows us to choose to take action. We can begin to become pro-active instead of re-active. Challenge and recognise the messages in tv programming and political statements, lessen the amount of chemicals we consume in food and water and more.

Every thought you change has a greater effect on the big picture.

For example: Do you choose war or peace? What thoughts do you really put out there? Do you subscribe to the concept of induced fear or not.

Relatively speaking many ideas and events considered to be of major importance to us here now are very, very insignificant hiccups in the life of the universe. We can choose to make this journey easier.

Bring ourselves back to some of the basic principles of spirituality.

Take ourselves out of the controlled rut of everyday life. Begin to think for ourselves. Come back to the true concepts of love, hope, and faith.

Be the director of our own movie instead of a bit player in others.

We need to bring healing and balance into our lives so that our new thoughts can bring healing and balance back to the rest of the planet. We need to change our habits, remove the barriers, break down

awakening one community at a time . . .

the artificial fences, end the difference, extend compassion and love our neighbours as we (supposedly) love ourselves.

How can we speed up this process? Look at the foods we eat, challenge the information presented to us and begin to take care of ourselves through meditation, exercise and healing. Using and experiencing the newer forms of healing such as Spectra Healing using light, sound, information, love and ideal mental state allows us to connect to the perfection that is us allowing for appropriate healing on all levels, physical, mental, spiritual and emotional. Healing is not just for the physically sick but allows us to better ourselves to offer hope for the future.

A JOURNEY TO ROSEBUD INDIAN RESERVATION

BY MATTHEW GREENWOOD A lot of people ask me how my connection with the Lakota People came about. Back in 1998 I was seeing a practitioner relating to moving on from a difficult relationship. On my last visit she asked me what I wanted to do with my life from here. My first thought was “Go to America”. She then asked me with a deeper look “Where in America?”.

With a little hesitation, because I couldn’t see how I could get there at the time I said “either Pine Ridge or Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota”. With a smile from ear to ear she sat back in her chair and laughed and proceeded to tell me her Grandfather is full blood Oglala Sioux and lives on Pine Ridge. After receiving many details of all the reservations in that area of the States, I really felt like I began my journey to going home. I quickly discovered in no subtle way the Universe was telling me that this was part of my journey to connect with the Lakota people.

The driving force for my journey as a practitioner was my ability to see and hear higher spiritual beings or spirit guides around myself and around other people. The predominant guides I saw around myself, and particularly practitioners who would be drawn to me for help, were Native American and mostly of the Sioux Nation. It was as if I was meeting old friends again after a long journey away.

My eventual journey to South Dakota came with many bells and whistles, so to speak. After connecting with the chief elder on Rosebud Indian Reservation, and many discussions on the phone, my beginnings in this life as a traditional furniture maker and teacher helped open up a teaching position as a woodworker on Sinte Gleske College on the Reservation in August of 2001. Combining that and living with a traditional family, my journey to South Dakota had its feet planted firmly in the earth. My stay on the

Reservation seemed to help bring much of my life together that I never really fully understood. Being so accepted and welcomed by the Lakota people I met helped to make many friendships that still are very strong to this day.

Something I didn’t expect to learn, which was reinforced with every conversation I had with the Lakota People was the way they think and feel every word they say!

They are not people of waste! Unlike the way many westerners communicate. Sometimes it feels like we fill up time with too many words and not the ones that we really mean.

This taught me a lot about listening and also how to be more honest and clear with every word I would say. Most people’s lives revolve around material possessions. That’s not to say material possessions are wrong, it’s about what importance you put upon them. To the Lakota People, who have fought for over 300 years to just be left in peace and to live their lives in a manner that suits them best, the one thing they hold strong when many other things are fragile is knowing who they are, knowing their traditions and their culture and being proud of that. This is something many westerners have lost or maybe never really had. The Lakota People have a lot to teach us if we are willing to listen.

Matthew runs trips to Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota, USA every August taking small groups to experience a little of what he has learnt living, eating and breathing with the Lakota People, meeting elders, doing ceremonies and seeing sacred sites for 2 weeks.

He is also a shamanic healer and counselor running workshops and talks here in Adelaide, Perth and interstate and can be contacted on 0410 658 797.

Each year the annual flying stars change their position in a building and should be taken into account with furniture placement etc. If you have a Feng Shui Consultation, it should be updated each Chinese New Year., so as to avoid misfortune, sickness and obstacles.

It is unwise to be sitting in a water star 2, (the illness star). I have seen dramatic changes in a person’s health because they were unaware of the stars that they were sitting in. One man spent his days sitting in the 2 star was feeling lethargic, lack of enthusiasm and depression, of course because he used to spend a lot of time sitting in this unfavourable space it was a catch 22, he didn’t have the energy to do anything to help himself. He ended up in hospital for 7 weeks and a care facility for six months, his health having deteriorated dramatically over 3 years.

There is another area of the home as well that should be treated with respect. It changes each year and that is the position that the GRAND DUKE or Tai Sui sits. He doesn’t like to be disturbed and if one digs, renovates or generally upsets that area, they could have unfavourable misfortunes, during that year.

Finding Love in All the Right Places

BY GERALDINE TEGGELOVE Today’s Note to Self® ~Remember today, that love blossoms all around us when we lovingly nourish our own hearts with gentleness, honesty and Truth~ Finding that wonderful par tner to share our life with can be quite tricky. People say it is so much harder these days compared to days gone by when young or old were dreaming of finding the perfect man/woman with whom to share their journey. Well, I guess there will be lots of people who may say I don’t know what I am talking about, but I would have to disagree!

Yes, the world around us is in a constant state of change, but there are some immutable Laws which

have been in existence since the beginning of time, and which never falter. When we live in harmony with these laws, we can be assured that our desires will become our physical reality. So rather than looking for love in all the wrong places, as the saying goes, how do we look for love in all the right places and find that beautiful soul who is also looking for us?

Manifesting love is the same as manifesting anything else we want in our lives! Regardless of who you are, or where your pathway may have taken you up until this point in time, finding love in all the right places is really a journey of self discovery, which takes enormous courage,

19

www.innerself.com.au persistence, and a total trust in the process of manifestation. If we are not prepared to do this, then we will continue to find love in all the wrong places and be left wondering why.

Writing out a complete description of the man/woman you would love to attract into your life is the very first step. Now I am sure a number of you have already done this many times over, but it is still not bringing you the results you are looking for. Am I right? Well, I need you to bear with me please, and little secrets will unfold assisting you to finally achieve success.

The next step is to go through this description and highlight the ‘MUST HAVES’ - the things that are non-negotiable. Describing how this person is going to look, etc. is very important, but of even greater impor tance are those traits that will keep your relationship going long after the honeymoon period is over. These are the values that give passion and purpose to all that you do, and are the driving force behind every area of your life. This may take quite some time, but by including your top seven values, you will be assured that you are attracting your perfect partner.

The third step in this process is where the rubber meets the road!

This is a step that takes enormous contemplation, and is the one that is most often left out of the equation!

It is time to ask a question or two of yourself, and be brutally honest whilst answering - If I am looking for someone with particular personality traits and values, then what would this person be looking for in me? Am I prepared to offer all of this in return? Simply put, you can’t expect to attract your perfect partner without actually living what you are seeking to attract. The harsh reality is that we attract that which we vibrate to the world!

The love that lasts a lifetime is truly a magical love – its creation begins in the heart of the one searching for this beautiful love. You have the opportunity to create this love in your life every moment of every day! As you think love, speak words of love and feel love, you are literally performing feats of magic.

You are designing a pattern of vibration that captures the hearts of all that is, has been, and ever will be.

Your life will now be in alignment with the ever expanding flow of love! The love that forms mystical mountains, etches a course for meandering rivers, and paints the most glorious colours of a sunset across the horizon. Just imagine what it will do for you!

The final step is setting the intention for this person to become a physical reality in your life, knowing without one single doubt that it will happen, and expecting them to appear in the most magical and unexpected ways! This is where many people come unstuck and lose belief in the process of manifestation. They become frustrated with the time it may be taking, and settle for so much less than they desire or deserve. If you have completed the all important inside work, it is time to get excited! Your perfect partner is on his/her way!

ConsciousMUSIC

WITH HEATHER FRAHN

Multi-award winning and acclaimed singer-songwriter, sound designer, and qualified sound therapy practitioner.

Healthy Benefits of Therapeutic Sound Sound vibration is energy, resonance, and frequency. Human ears can detect vibrations composed of frequencies between 20hz and 20,000hz when transmitted through some kind of medium, solid, liquid, or gas. When the human ear picks up these sounds, they spiral into the cochlea and transmit via electrical pulses into the brain and central nervous system. Because the brain and central nervous system is so connected to our wellbeing, in this way, sound can have a powerful effect on our levels of being, which are physical, mental, emotional and spiritual/energetic.

The brain processes sound in amazing and complex ways. It has several brainwave states, and even though there may be more than one brainwave state operating at one time, there will be an overall frequency that dominates. Listening to and experiencing sounds that are long and floating, harmoniously chorded, and simple (not too much melody), can have a very relaxing and therapeutic affect on our levels of being. Usually these types of sounds are associated with therapeutic instruments like qual-

ity Himalayan singing bowls, crystal singing bowls, Chinese gongs, droning resonating stringed instruments, and also vocal chanting. Rhythm and drumming can also induce altered states of consciousness like that of a trance that shamans would practice. Therapeutic instruments when played by professional sound therapists can help induce altered states of consciousness, such as the beneficial Alpha 8-12hz, and Theta 3-7hz brainwave states.

These are associated physically with deep relaxation, reduced heart rate, normalization of blood pressure, and better function of the endocrine and nervous systems; non physically Alpha and Theta link to enhancing intuition, creativity, meditation, contemplation, and intelligence.

According to the Vedic system, and other ancient spiritual traditions, human beings are more than just physical, they are also energy beings. Our subtle energy system (aura), energy centers (chakras), and shushumna (energetic spine) all play a part in our physical health and wellbeing. It is said that our seven subtle energy bodies link into our different levels of being

simultaneously, from the 1st etheric layer through to the 7th causal layer. Looking at humans from this perspective, it makes sense why vibrational energy medicine from therapeutic sound can work with these aspects within us.

The ancient Indian metaphysical system of Nāda yoga divides music into internal music, anahata, and external music, ahata. The practice of listening mindfully to continuous external therapeutic sound can give rise to hearing one’s own “inner silence”. The embodiment and expansion of this inner silence can lead to self awareness, awakening, and deeper unity with both sound and silence, and the outer and inner cosmos. Matter is ultimately sound and resonance. Quantum physics shows us that existing in every ‘thing’ we see, as being ‘form’, including us, is actually countless tiny energetic atoms spinning in space.

We are sound!

Next time you have the opportunity to play a drum, sing in a choir, chant prayers and mantras, or listen to a beautiful Himalayan singing bowl, know the potential is there for inducing beneficial altered states of consciousness, resulting in our body-mind relaxation, helping elevate our consciousness, and put simply, help us to feel fantastic!

Resolving Indecision and Dilemmas

The Journey into Higher Consciousness

David Lane

BY DAVID LANE The bulk of the population tend to take the easiest path through life because it requires less effort and seems to be less risky and therefore; feels safer. Another primary pursuit is happiness along with the avoidance of unhappiness. There are no surprises there! There is nothing wrong with these choices, however; there is a higher challenge but it tends to take us out of our comfor t zone. This is the journey into higher consciousness which requires a lot more effort; both mentally and physically. The rewards are huge and they far outstrip the effort.

Happiness can be a by-product of higher consciousness, however; it is often stimulated by external experiences and forces such as friendship, relationships, shopping sprees, holidays, money, material possessions etc. Higher consciousness creates an inner peace that is a more permanent state of being whereas happiness experienced by outside stimulation is subject to being controlled or manipulated by the same outside experiences and forces. For instance; if any of the examples mentioned above were to be removed then it is highly likely that the associated happiness would too.

This same situation would not affect inner peace because this state of being is not affected by outside forces. The by product of this higher state is incredibly empowering because it creates states of inner calm and power that do not alter with what is happening on the surface.

I have known wealthy people who displayed a high level of happiness, confidence and power that attracted a cer tain amount of respect and sometimes, envy, from others. They also projected a image of calm and inner peace. I have also known some of these people to lose their wealth.

They still tried to hold on to the level of happiness that attracted the respect, however; something was missing. The energy that they projected told a different story – a story of failure, emotional pain and negativity. Thus the original projection of happiness, confidence and power was replaced with an opposite energy which was extremely negative ( providing you had the ability to see through the mask!). There is no balance in that kind of happiness and there are many examples of those who were once happily riding very high and then taking their own life when they fell. If they truly had calm and inner peace then it would have been reflected in their ability to handle the stressful situation a lot more positively.

The journey into higher consciousness is an arduous step by step process that requires commitment and discipline. It cannot be achieved overnight because it requires a process of; acquiring knowledge and information - processing and assimilation - applying the new understanding to life (road testing it) - reflection – gaining wisdom and a higher awareness from the experience –changing any old belief systems that are superseded

BY RACHELLE TERRY, MEDICAL INTUITIVE

by the new understanding. Self honesty is a major ingredient in this process if higher consciousness is to be gained. There are no shortcuts to this process if you want to gain the most out of the experience.

Sometimes we get inspirational moments that project us forward into a higher state of awareness.

These can come in many forms such as miracles, visions, powerful dreams, being inspired by the feats by others. They are often pivotal moments that create positive jumps in our spiritual journey. They can be very inspiring, however; we still have to do the walking to get to the end of our individual path - nobody can do the walking for us. Thus; the journey into higher consciousness is mostly a challenging step by step process that includes commitment, discipline and patience. Sometimes this journey gets injected with experiences that motivate or inspire us to keep walking. We can always be absolutely certain that we are not walking alone and that every step we take is getting us closer to enlightenment.

David reminds us of the true and fundamental principal that the world we experience is a direct reflection of our beliefs of our self, and to understand the world we see we can only start by looking within. This book grounds me, so I keep to read again and again.

given away your power to someone else, try this exercise: Quieten your mind, take some slow, deep breaths and ask (internally): “Who or what in my past has made me doubt my decisions?” reflect on this.

When you are ready, state: “I allow the part of me that knows the best choices to make to inform the rest of me in every thought, word and action”.

2. We need to clear our polluting thoughts and emotions: My clients often ask, “What should I do?” (sadly, this is not a good question to ask if your aim is to reclaim your power.)

Rather than jump in and make their decision for them (as you know, I’m bad enough with shampoo), I watch their energy field as they talk about each option and give feedback on the changes. That way, they can become clear on whether there are motivated by fear, limiting belief patterns, obligation etc.

“When you talk about buying this business, a frozen, white energy blocks you in your heart. It brings up fears of overwhelm and issues around support. On the other hand, when you talk about working for the family business, a constricted energy pattern appears across your throat and hear t energy centres, making you feel trapped and blocking your creative expression.”

You can try this yourself: 1. Sit quietly and become aware of different sensations in your body.

Standing in the aisle of a supermarket, realising an eternity has passed – the kids have grown up and left home, the ice caps have melted…

“Hmm…which to choose? I do want ‘radiant shine’. Maybe I need ‘smooth and silky’. Then if I choose the ‘smooth and silky’ hair shampoo, will I be sacrificing a ‘radiant shine’?” The airbrushed models smile smugly from their labels. I’m sure the enigma code was cracked in less time than this.

Haven’t we all been there? No? Oh it’s just me. Well this is awkward!

Indecision and dilemmas drain our energy and keep us stuck. I can see indecision issues in my client’s energy field - a blurry fog around the head and a split through the middle of the body. In some cases the colours in our energy field colours even fade or fragment, due to self-doubt and lack of confidence.

Now just supposing we are faced with a decision that is more important than hair shampoo. I know.

That’s what I thought. “What could possibly be more impor tant than hair shampoo?” Then how on Earth do we know when we are making the best choice? That is, the choice our soul is prompting us to make and not just the result of our minds becoming distracted by shiny things?

1. We need to reclaim our power If indecision is something that you struggle with frequently, it may be a good idea to explore it.

Loss of confidence in our decisions can come from loss of personal power. If you feel you have

2. Visualise each option and notice what changes when you do this.

Though this will not indicate a black/white answer, it will help you to become more aware of what emotions or fears are influencing your decision (there are rarely only one!).

3. We need to sleep on it Before you go to sleep, set the intention: “Tonight, in the dreamstate, I will solve my (insert: issue/ dilemma/question) and find the best solutions which will provide the most optimal outcome for myself and all involved.

When I taught this to a client, she went to sleep asking for answers about whether to stay or move house. That night in her dream, she received a letter. In bold, red text it read: “IT’S TIME TO GO: SARAH!” Her genius (and funny), subconscious mind drew upon inspiration from a reality TV show, to convey in a creative way, that it was not in her best interests to stay. She soon realised that her landlord was someone she needed to move well away from, in a “back away slowly and avoid eye contact,” type scenario.

• Repeat the technique three nights in a row and see what comes to you. You may wish to record your dreams, checking for signs and insights.

• Use this sensibly and of course, don’t do anything that may be risky or unsafe.

The guidance may come to you in your dreams but it may also arrive when you are not expecting it - you may find the answers coming to you doing the dishes, on a walk, in the bath, or even washing your hair with your fabulous, new shampoo!

Best of luck and let me know how you go!

Is your Insomnia just Psychic Connection?

December-February 2014/15 The first week of this quarter begins with the full moon rising in Gemini at 15 degrees on December 6th Sydney time 11.26pm.

The Full Moon in Gemini will initiate the light-hear ted, celebration season and bring for th the oppor tunity for you to explore mindful vision, the essence to acknowledge your duality within and the flow to balance your energy between your mind and intuition. Whether your gifts are clairvoyance, clairaudient or clairsensient, the Full Moon in Gemini can connect your mind and intuition and in doing so deepen the ways of communication and enhance your psychic ability on all levels. As well there is a Venus-Jupiter trine creating possibilities for passionate rendezvous’ under the light of the moon, dining or picnicking by the ocean or delightful outings to art galleries and grand social gatherings with family and friends.

The Sun moves into Capricorn on the 22nd of December, and the New Moon invisibly takes her place beside the Sun, two very important cycles beginning and coming together to harmonise the energies of the Summer Solstice.

Summer Solstice is the season of fruition, manifestation, joy and celebration, a time to reel in your hopes, dreams and wishes. Plus a time to look back congratulate yourself for making it through the year, as it’s been a tough year for most of us, acknowledge your accomplishments and once you have assimilated the past and arrive into the present, you can then confidently open to your future.

Formidable Saturn enters Sagittarius, on the 24th December 2014. This two and half year journey will insist that the individual’s secrets revealed and the collective shadows exposed, during Saturn’s time in Scorpio, must now be brought to justice and the actual truth upheld. As the transit progresses we will be asked to discard our old structures to allow the building of new ones.

If we choose not to change, life lessons will expand and we will incur the consequences.

However once the understanding of right action connects we then have a choice on which road to travel or course to take, bringing justice and truth into all our endeavours within the collective.

Sagittarius’ planetary ruler is Jupiter. Jupiter relates to oppor tunity, growth and expansion –as it is the biggest planet. It also has influence

over ideals, higher learning, religion, churches, governments and laws. Ideals will be challenged and changed, religion, churches and governments will be demanded to evolve, and hope and faith individually and collectively will be restored. For this to happen thoroughly, this cycle of Saturn will hold those responsible for the current political and religious scandals and stipulate that new laws and boundaries must be put into place.

When Saturn in Sagittarius transits your natal chart your reality of the house matters concerned will be redefined. If you ignore the responsibility that accompanies your transit it will be challenging and difficult in that area of your life. However if you allow the lessons in and take up the necessary responsibility you will move forward into the changes and the outcome will be, you mastering your destiny.

The Cancer Full Moon rises 15 degrees on the 5th January at 3.54pm (Sydney time).

With Pluto and Uranus closely aspected to this Full Moon, the impact emotionally on home and family matters, is a very strong one. Therefore be attentive to what family or close friends are reflecting to you. To improve your life and wellbeing, make the changes necessary be it behaviour patterns, diet choices or new career goals that align with your intentions called to mind at the New Moon in Capricorn and the Summer Solstice.

Venus begins her journey through Aquarius on the 3rd January and stays until 27th January. As well Mercury transits into Aquarius from the 5th January to March 13th, plus the messenger (Mercury) goes retrograde January 21st to February 11th As we know the Aquarius people often display unconventional behaviour and thinking.

They speak out and express themselves in unique and unusual ways. You might find yourself delighting in weird and wacky ideas and creativity at this time. Enjoy! You may be attending original art exhibitions or cultural awareness meetings where you find yourself thinking outside your usual parameters and having intellectual debates with family friends and work mates.

The magnificent Full Moon in Leo ascends on the 4th of February accompanied by Jupiter and a trine from Uranus. These expanding and electrifying energies will bring a boost in your creative juices, will offer grand

awakening one community at a time . . .

oppor tunity and suppor t any personal, emotional revolution that is needed to realise your full potential. Watch for novel inspirational thought and keen awareness in order to break through unnecessary boundaries. Be prepared. Be sure to ground as this fire moon has the ability to transform your belief in yourself, advance your abilities and embrace the ‘newness’ into unknown territories.

Venus and Mars take the reins into Aries and mark a very fiery time indeed. Creativity, passion and romance are certainly on the agenda. If single, you may not find your life partner at this time, however a fun-loving, whirlwind romance might simply be what the doctor ordered, or the naturopath for that matter. If you are in relationship and it’s got to be a bit mundane, really... utilize this energy to spice things up, who knows you may go where you have never been before!

Venus and Mars in Aries offer the fuel for action. At this time you quite possibly won’t want to be procrastinating as this is a great time to complete projects that have been on the back burner since the holidays.

Conflict and completion are also possible in this climate, however if you relate in a direct, open, and honest way, resentment will be a thing of the past. You will find spats and quarrels will be over before they start!

Are you waking up in the middle of the night? Does it happen on a semiregular basis?

You might think it’s simply insomnia. But ask yourself a few more questions. Are you wide awake when this happens, rather than tired and confused. Were you sleeping soundly beforehand? Do you find that you fall back to sleep again before dawn, and in the morning you aren’t wrecked even though you had a broken night’s sleep?

If that sounds like you, then I don’t think this waking up issue is insomnia. Instead, I diagnose this as a psychic connection issue. If you’re reading this, in fact I’m sure it’s a connection issue. And I know just what to do about it.

For many years (and sometimes even now I am affected by this!) I woke up at around 2am. It was especially prevalent while I was going through Spiritual Awakening – that whole process of becoming actively more psychically and spiritually connected.

At first it drove me crazy. I’d wake from a deep sleep, lie in bed uselessly, eyes wide open and fully alert, and by around 4am I’d drift back off to sleep again.

It was my Guides who finally explained to me what was going on…

Somewhere between 2am and 4am, when we’ve had some sleep and are rested and relaxed, is the easiest time for spiritual Guides and other energetic BEings to connect with us psychically.

At 2am we are free of mental clutter. At 2am there is much less ‘noise’ from other people’s thoughts, from electromagnetic energy or from life in general. It’s a little like driving your car down an empty freeway in the middle of the night – it’s a safe, fast trip, with no interruptions.

When Guides are first attempting to connect with us energetically it’s always easier for them to do this in the early hours. After the connection is made, and we become practiced at it, we’ll find that we are no longer woken up, and that psychic or spiritual knowing and energy become a natural part of our waking hours.

So, what can YOU do if you wake at 2am?

Here are some suggestions based on my own experience, and on the advice of my Guides: • Drink some water – hydration always enhances connection • When you wake in the middle of the night, ask to be ‘connected’, and then lie back and relax. Be aware of any images, names, impressions, ideas or information that comes to you. You may also find that after inviting connection, you are suddenly sleepy again, and return to the sleep state. (you’ll still be connecting, although it will no longer be a conscious act).

• Write. Many people find that their best ideas come to them in the

middle of the night like this – it’s a form of channelling. These ideas may be aligned to your talents and skills, they may be creative ideas, or it could just be information that’s relevant to your life right now. You can keep a pen and paper beside the bed, or get up and go sit at a table – but do use pen and paper rather than a keyboard. The blue light from computer screens can negatively impact the psychic connection experience.

• Move into meditation for a while. You can do this in bed, or get up and sit somewhere quiet where you are warm and comfor table.

Once again, be open to any messages, images or impressions you might receive.

• Do some simple hands-on healing for yourself by channelling energy through your hands and into your body.

• Think of an area in your life where you are seeking direction, and ask to be given clarity about this thing. Relax and be open to whatever insights you might receive.

Back in your normal life, adopt some spiritual practices, such as a regular meditation time, or time in spiritual reflection. Yoga, tai chi, exercise and other forms of moving meditation are also good for stilling the mind and inviting spiritual connection. So are creative hobbies, and hanging out with like-minded people.

There is an increase in consciousness right now, and enhanced opportunities for conscious connection. So if you find yourself waking up in the middle of the night for no obvious reason, maybe it’s the Universe, tapping you on the shoulder, and reminding you that it’s time.

You’re here for a reason! Trust in Divine Timing, and in your own ability to connect. Who knows what wonderful energies and ideas you might bring forth Much love to you.

We all have our own journeys to follow and we all have our own lives to lead, but together we can always share our love or help someone else in need.

Now the messages are loud and clear and I am able to communicate with empathy, honesty and most importantly from love.

I believe in the process and delivering of messages, my job is not to alter your destiny; it is to offer guidance and support. I now work on radio C91.3, at Mind Body Spirit, doing platform shows, parties and private readings.

I am blessed to have this gift and be able to offer clarity, closure and connecting with loved ones.

Are we there yet? We all struggle to reach some particular goal, often with great impatience. How do we know when we have arrived? How do we know if this is for the fulfilment of our dreams? Do we not then just set another goal?

I am Metatron, You have been born into this lifetime to help break the cycle of fear and chaos. You will each do your part whether it is difficult or easy, whether it is small or large.There is no need to worry what these tasks are.

If you follow your heart, you do what is required. Your Soul will guide you through your heart. This is how you achieve happiness and fulfilment. This is how you help humanity to evolve.
