The New Healing Paradigm If We Really Believed... By Tony Minervo

If we really believed that nothing could go wrong, there would be no such thing as disease. There would only be the experience of moving from one level of integration and function to the next higher level, from the present level of consciousness and awareness to the next higher, more expanded level. No matter how perfectly the structure in our life is presently serving us, it cannot support the next higher level. The present organization of our bodies and our world must change if we are to move to another level. There’s no getting around this necessity. If we are in the frequency of trust and certainty, knowing with no doubt that all is always as it should be, that everything is perfect, exactly the way it is, then we experience the exhilaration and excitement that always accompanies change. Our bodies and everything in our reality shifts and reorganizes to accommodate the demands of the new state of being that we are entering into. Some things will drop out and new things will be added to create a new us, and a new reality – this is how transition happens. And, the results are always perfect, a perfect reflection of the frequency in which it occurs, a perfect reflection of our consciousness. Everything in our reality is now at a higher level of integration and function, a more expanded expression of perfection. Some of the elements that made up our reality are no longer present, but not missed. New things and new people show up and contribute to the feeling of newness, the feeling of excitement that is now our present life experience. We come out of this sometimes discombobulating, but always exciting, experience to realize that we are now better – in fact everything and everyone is better. It was perfect before, but now it’s better – even the world scene appears to be improving – it makes more sense – there is more reason to be optimistic about the future, whatever that will be, and we are not really concerned about what that will be. It is only when we move into fear and interpret the changes negatively that we begin to resist the changes. All pain, all disease, and all conditions are caused by resistance, and resistance is caused by fear. As soon as we move into fear, our frequency drops below the level of excitement, below the frequency that supports life. Movement is a primary characteristic of life, and movement is caused by excitement. The capacity of a living thing to respond to stimuli is called excitability and is essential to life. If a living thing cannot respond, it dies. All things that persist below the frequency of excitement die because they cannot respond to the stimuli that move life forward. We might say they are afraid to move.

6

And, without movement, there is no life. Change is a necessary part of life and when change is upon us, there’s no stopping it. But, there is the power to alter the quality of the change that takes place – we can alter the results. When we choose fear – and it is a choice – the change that is taking place is now occurring in a frequency that does not support life and cannot support expansion. In this frequency it is not possible to move to a higher level of integration and function. The only option then, to conserve life force and the capacity to survive, is to contract – become smaller. So, in the context of a universe that is expanding, getting bigger, we are contracting and getting smaller. In these circumstances the reorganization of the structure that makes up our reality, including our bodies, results in a level of integration that can only support a lower level of function, a diminished capacity to respond to stimuli, a diminished capacity for life. In this state, we experience being more and more out of touch with everything and everyone around us – we feel that the universe and life itself does not support us. In fact, it is we who have chosen to be unsupportable. We have chosen to doubt the perfection of all things. We have decided not to trust life. We have chosen the path of fear. What follows are physical and emotional pain, disease, conditions, depression and ultimately death. Fear never leads to a happy ending – how can it? We can, however, wake up to the realisation that we have choice. Of course! Did we not choose to doubt that everything is always perfect? Did we not choose to not trust life? Did we not choose the path of fear? We always have choice and we always choose. Whatever we experience is always a result of our choices. We can turn this whole situation around. We can choose life, love, peace, freedom, certainty and all those good feelings – we can choose to trust that we, everything and everyone is perfect, and that life always prompts us towards the next more expansive level of experience, because that is just what life does, that’s just what life is.

<< < > >>

We are infinite, eternal beings – what could really go wrong? If we clearly examine our lives, we will all come to the conclusion that everything we ever judged as good led to something we judged as bad, and that eventually led to something else we judged as good. The fact is that our whole life experience has eventuated in our being who we are today – and who, among us, is not smarter, wiser, more capable and happier, more in touch with life than we were at any time in the past. We are more loving, caring, compassionate than we ever were before. We are even reading this article – we were not even interested in reading stuff like this in the past. We can all look back and see how we might have more effectively and appropriately responded to certain events in the past. However, we would not have this increased understanding and wisdom if we had made even the smallest decision differently – we wouldn’t even be the same person we are today. Our past, just like our present, is perfect – it got us here. And, our present experience will get us where we’re going – wherever that is. We don’t need to worry about that either – it will be perfect. There is no external circumstance or event that can cause us to feel less than excited if we choose excitement no matter what – if we choose to trust life – if we choose to trust our own perfection. Of course we’ll get better, but that doesn’t mean we’re not perfect now. We’ll never reach ‘perfected’ because this experience called life never ends – it just changes expression and form. And, there is nothing that can come up in our lives that we will not respond to more effectively if we are confident in our capacity to dance with life and enjoy the music. Happy dancing.

A Journey into Shamanism

The Path of Direct Revelation By David de Warenne

When I first ventured forth into the realm of Shamanism I really didn’t understand nor expect the beauty and power that would unfold for me along my journey... Brought up within a traditional spiritual upbringing of church life, Shamanism initially seemed a little mysterious and even somewhat scary to me, but that was all to soon change as something deep within me called me into a world of wonder and profound spiritual experiences. I suppose it was a certain kind of courage that made me heed to that call, even amongst the unrational, but very real fears that surfaced within me as I thought about the consequences that awaited me for ‘dabbling’ with spirits and the like! My unconscious journey into Shamanism began, and I say unconscious, because now I can clearly see in retrospect that I have always been on this journey, one day in Pathfinders book store in Auckland City. A book jumped out and nearly hit me square between the eyes....That book was called ‘The Vision’ by Tom Brown Jr and spoke of his adventures and subsequent training by a Lipun Apache Elder and Wisdom keeper by the name of Stalking Wolf. I had been searching for something to fill some empty longing within my spiritual and personal life and as I turned the pages of that first book, I somehow recognised that the words were talking to me personally, describing my very core essence and my hearts calling and purpose in this world. I drunk those words like a man who had just walked through the desert, and then sought book after book, drinking it all in as I went...following the footsteps of my teachers words, putting into practice what they spoke to me about, then taking those written teachings out and into the wilderness and honing my skills of awareness until the time came when further personal teachings came to me in the form of weekend workshops and intensive initiate training modules that I am now honored to say that I facilitate myself. That first book was nearly 20 years ago now and fears fell

10

away along my journey leaving only naked truth, beauty and real sense of spiritual union. But all of these years later with so many workshops, books and articles written about Shamanism there are still so many misconceptions about what it really is. Shamanism is the path of direct revelation - which means that you are the authority for your own spiritual beliefs and experiences. I really liked this concept, maybe because of my own dislike for authority figures, Heck! I even got kicked out of Sunday school! I was far too much of a young free thinker I suppose. I quickly discovered that I needed no one to intercede for me to connect with the divine, for Great Spirit, the Creator had ordained this simple truth of connection with all of us, through all of us, to all things of creation, from the very beginning of time itself. I learned that I didn’t need to give my power away to anybody, Priest, Guru or any other medium to make that connection, that I had the birthright and the natural abilities to do this by myself, as everybody naturally has, and as I learned through passionate discipline how to hone my own shamanic skills, I discovered that anybody could easily communicate with, and ‘hear’ the voice of Spirit, Source or God, with all but just a little practice, and the recognition that one had indeed actually done so!

‘Unity’ and ‘Gaia’ principles and within Shamanism this is beautifully illustrated as the spiders web. The web is the oneness, showing us that all is indeed connected by invisible threads, and the spider is the Shaman...the weaver of the web, the one who knows and understands this truth.

amazing that when I ask this question of people during the workshops that I facilitate, they all seem to know the answer already pertaining to what happens to ones power if they should ever boast about it...the answer of course being...they lose it!

The word Shaman comes from the Evenki peoples, a Tungusic tribe in Siberia, and literally means ‘one who knows’ or one who can see in the dark’, and is often defined as a person who becomes an intermediary between the chaotic human world and the spiritual worlds, where helping spirits look upon the human drama with empathic compassion.

Shamanism is a very profound, yet beautiful and powerful way to live ones life, and offers its practitioners a vehicle for authentic personal empowerment and spiritual unfolding.

It is interesting to note that Shamanism throughout the entire world has a similar core structures and beliefs. In the majority of indigenous and Shamanic cultures, the universe is looked upon as being made up of two distinct realities, the world of things seen, and the world of things unseen, and a Shaman makes no distinction between the two, they are two halves of a whole. The Shaman is the visionary , who being male or female in gender, learns how to enter into this ‘non ordinary’ world of hidden things, as compared to our ‘ordinary’ world, and once there they can encounter archetypal forces and super - personalities that we might call Spirits, Ancestors or even Angels, Gods and Goddesses. Within a trance like state of altered consciousness, which traditionary was facilitated by monotonous percussion sounds such as those made by drumming or rattling, the Shaman then ‘journeys’ to these unseen worlds, which of course are simultaneously present around us at this very moment, and retrieves information and healing energies, which they then return with to ordinary reality. It is here that this spiritual knowledge and healing essence is then imparted to the client or to the community.

In up and coming articles, we will be exploring the cosmology of the Shaman and Shamanic beliefs, The role of the Shamanic drum and altered states of awareness, Intention, Soul retrieval and Shamanic healing, and a Shamanic perspective of the shift of the ages, 2012. David de Warenne is a Shamanic Practitioner, Sound Healer, Visionary, Author and Teacher..... and also tutors these modalities both within New Zealand and interntionally. For further information regarding Shamanism, Shamanic workshops and healing... Please go to www.dream-keepers.com or email divineessence@xtra.co.nz

They acted as Sage, Healer, Pyshco Therapist, Counsellor, Physician and Story teller.

Shamanism is the most ancient form of spiritual practice and means of expanding consciousness known to humankind. Anthropologists differ in their opinions about its age, but many claim it to be from Paeoleolithic origins and aged somewhere between 25,000 to 50,000 years old. It is the mother of all religions, but of itself is not a religion. Shamanism is a way of life, a way of understanding that all things, within heaven and earth are connected, all is ‘the oneness’ and is one. Science describes this as the

Even a genuine shaman would never admit to being a shaman, this would be a sign of boasting. Authentic Shaman are humbly minded about their vocation. It is

<< < > >>

So in essence, a Shaman is the one who indeed can ‘see in the dark.

Traditionally Shaman worked within the tribal community and were responsible for seeking information such as when the herds would migrate through the district, where the food and water sources could be found and where the best seasonal campsites would be located, not to mention for healing work upon individuals and towards the overall balance and harmony of the tribe or clan as a whole.

Currently there has been a worldwide renaissance in Shamanism, maybe because now is the time that we have to re inherit this truth for ourselves and for the Earth, and whilst it isn’t true to say that just because one attends a shamanic workshop that one is a Shaman...far from it...one would more aptly say that they are following a shamanic path..these teachings seem vital to the overall renewal of ourselves and the planet.

But what really is Shamanism?

It provides the initiate with the ‘keys to the universe’ and in so doing, whilst many others are stumbling around in a lost like trance within the ‘land of the living dead’, as the old Apache Elder, ‘Stalking Wolf’ called it...the Shaman can navigate the oceans of life with guidance, clarity and with life focus.

Ascension Explorers are part of a community that is showing the Light through many doorways. Ascension Explorers: Since Nov 2009 Heather & Lou have been of service in NZ. They bring with Heart Consciousness, the healing modality that they have been shown, ‘The Continuation’, as well as many other ‘facets’ of their expertise. Lou is the clear semi-conscious channel of the pair while Heather grounds the energy and creates the space. Lou’s awareness of energies communicating clearly with her began as a young child while Heather was also experienced her own knowing as a child of energies interacting with her albeit in a different manner. Together they make a complimentary team and are bringing through and grounding higher energies for the purpose of offering assistance to those who are seeking further knowing on their path of ascension. Heather & Lou decided to follow their hearts and passion back in 2009 and travelled halfway across the world to Europe, UK, and Kauai (USA) where they continued to work with the Ascended Masters, Adamus™(NZ), Kuthumi and Quan Yin. Then the large dynamic energy of The Council of Many came to join them on their journey. As they began to settle in Kauai and were welcomed by the community as those that belonged, and their workshops and channelling nights were established; they were asked to relinquish this life and return back to NZ, to start again. Questioning this request, as well they should have, they agreed to return.

attending. Sacred Site tours through out NZ are also part of their service. Their ‘real’ down to earth approach has kept the balance they need as they venture into the ‘New Template’ that offers a refreshing and experiential way of being in the NOW moment. This has included the introduction of Gaia via channel and of Cifehthr, the oversoul energy of Adamus™(NZ). The expansion needed for this move into oversoul awareness has been great as Heather and Lou and those that they work with continue to leave what does not serve and embrace that which does serve in these days of great shift & change as we move more fully into heart consciousness.

For more Channelled communications and events visit their website portal. www.AscensionExplorers.com ascensionexplorers@gmail.com

Here in NZ, they have created a place where you can attend workshops (or Lifeshops as they choose to call them) and Retreats covering Self Mastery, Conscious Living, The Continuation training, and all that these encompass, including abundance manifestation, self healing and more; offered in a warm, safe and welcoming environment on land that has been specially prepared for the ascension journey of those

Gaia Speaks to Christchurch & New Zealand June 15 completed 2011

Namaste. I am Kuthumi but only just for a while I will be here. If you listen carefully you will hear the laughter and you will hear the footprints and the footfalls of that which is your mother for she is drawing close to speak with you. But I would say that as you begin to prepare your hearts and prepare your energy for that which you will hear tonight, dear ones, that you set aside... you set aside your preconceived ideas and the little doubts and the little fears and the large doubts and the large fears that have plagued you. Put them aside. Put them in a suitcase. Kick it under the chair for tonight. Throw it behind you. You do not need it. Tonight is not a night where we sit and we ponder the why’s and wherefore’s of the doom and gloom. Tonight is a night of celebration. Tonight is a night dear ones, dear humans, dear hearts.... that you are not silly humans. Indeed you are wise beyond that which is the creative force that you perceive yourselves to be. It is a time where you join your higher conscious beings; your higher selves are becoming more integrated within yourself. And then you’re able to hear that which the mother speaks. But I feel her pull now upon my coat tails. I shall leave you and perhaps return. She is impatient to speak to you as you can see. I will come forth and speak a little later. This I promise, for I am Kuthumi. Au revoir. Greetings children. Come close now the fire before you is warm. The hearth that we have built together is warm. There is drink and there is food. So come close. Come close children. It is not a time to fear me. It is not a time to doubt me. It is not a time to think of all that has occurred in a negative energy. It is time to draw close. Let us talk this night. Let us be equal...who we are and the energy of who we are. For we are creative beings, I am she who has birthed you all. I am she who has taken you from my very womb and created you with the very elements that are within my own being. The minerals. The water. The components. All that is 'me' beats and flows within your very cells. You are my children. So it would not make sense if you were to go and apply the logic of humanity that I would come to harm you. It has never been my intention to bring harm. It has always been my intention to bring you to the place of awareness. The place where you are brought to the brink of your own shelves, (Lou saw a wall of earth with levels like shelves) of your own place of creation. To look within the very abyss of who you are and to step back in the wonderment that you are not going to fall into the abyss but you are going to create for yourself the being that you are; the creational space that is you, that it is your right to live in. But mother why do you shake? Why do you rumble?

14

Why do you roll? Because dear children, this is my heart. This is where the skin of my heart or where the tubes of my heart have been blocked. I cannot breathe for that which has been placed upon me. I cannot take in that which is my energy, that which is in the flow of the fluidity of the universal energy. Because somewhere along your journey your forefathers.... (many of you who sit here have lived before), forgot to communicate. Forgot the ways of the ancients.... of listening to my voice. And yet many of those that believe that they are wise and believe that they are educated (and I use that word dear hearts, my children, in a very loose terminology).. for they are no more educated in the ways of the earth than they are educated in the ways of man. They do not look upon the trees and they do not look upon the grasses and they do not look upon my animals and my wildlife and my birds and my insects. They do not see how they build and how they create within themselves equality and the equilibrium of the ecosystem that is my very breath. Within the fluidity that is within the land that you live upon, is the energy of fluidity. I must move, and you, are given, dear hearts, by that which is my creation that which is my moving, yes an opportunity to work with me. An opportunity to work within the very diameter and geometrical structure of the creation that is known as the creational spiral of this earth, of the planet, and bring about that which is the new way. To bring about, with me, that newness... that way of life that is within each one of you, in the deepest part of your memories.

constant shaking. You’ll see patterns breaking. Your nerves are frayed. Dear hearts, it is not that I continually do this to create this for you but it is also for you to move into that which is yourself, a balance of nature. To connect more... to feel within yourself the knowledge and the truth, that you are truly part of my elemental state. Many of you have seen the elementals dance around and then suddenly disappear before I tremble and I shake. Is this not warning enough for you to prepare a sense of balance? Perhaps I ask too much of you, for you are human. Are you? Or are you more? My great friends that are both within the angelic realms, the ascended realms and the outer realms, assure me that you are more than just human. That you have within yourselves, a higher connection to that which is the true central place. The connection not only to Source, but the connection to your balance of ‘truality’, the balance of that which is your divinity, the balance of that which is your true nature. Children, what I say to you tonight is not, shall we say, going to make you feel “oh everything’s okay” because I will not stop the shakes and they will come within the very frequencies that you have monitored and you have measured. They will be up and down. But know this... unless one has already contracted with me to transition over, I will take no lives. Yes that is my word. If one does decide to transition, to move, just as my orchards, my trees, decide at the end of their life, whether they are just newly planted or they have lived a long and fruitful life... it is time for them to withdraw their roots from the ground; so it is that you have the right and the choice to do this yourselves. It is their choice. But I have none in agreement with me for the next period of your linearity. But this again

may change at any moment you understand this, for you are creatures of change, you are creatures of your own creation. Dear hearts, dear children, beloved, beloved humans, children of my womb. Just as you would not deliberately go about and cause harm to that which is your blood, that which is your birthing...neither do I. But, just as you will, when those who do not listen to you...you will go and you will move certain areas and certain things within your own sphere, to suit that which is the benefit for your highest good. So do I. For I am within myself, a unique and living being, I am not just a globe that you live on. I am not just rock and water and grass and sea. I Am Gaia. I Am THE MOTHER and I will breathe and I will live and I will change and I will fluctuate. I will allow myself to transcend and to move into that which is my energy shift of growth and expansion towards my journey within this ascension walk and likewise dear ones. My children of my children, I ask that you would join me in this walk, in this journey. For we are not so dissimilar we are not so strange to each other upon this walk. Many of you have been experiencing at this time of my expansion, expansions of your own. You have been experiencing much release. You have been shedding your outer crust and become soft within yourself. You almost do not recognise who you are. And so it is, you do not recognise who I am, because I Am Gaia. I Am MOTHER and yet, I am gentle. I am the one that rocks you, even when you cannot feel it.

Come children, lean in a little closer. Lean in. Hear the truth of what it is that your mother says. But do not be lulled into a sense of security, a sense of falseness, that because I speak and you hear... that everything will be okay. Because until you begin to enunciate and to bring in that which is the fulfilment of that which is your creational time, I will continue with my movement and I will continue to bring down that which is already broken, that which is being rebuilt where it must not be rebuilt. I will require it to be removed. Am I harsh? I am strict. Am I harsh? I am loving and I love you enough to warn you through many ways, to speak to you yet again, through many ways. To speak to you, yet again, through many ways to tell you that.... Now is not the time to use the construct of old; the template of old; to rebirth this place. This is the time of birth pains for you.... and yes.... you feel a little out of balance and out of body. A little frustrated. A little (how may one put this?) annoyed with me because of the constant moving,

Teen Suicide Prevention Depression CAN Be Cured! By Jacqui Oliver

We get depressed and overwhelmed when we think too much... We get engulfed in thoughts about our pain and our problems... There is too much happening in our minds and in our bodies... always thinking... thinking... thinking... Part 1 - Suicidal Thoughts: The Thinking Slide to Suicide The more you think about your pain and problems, the bigger they will seem to be. This is because the lower mind remembers all the pain and problems from your past; and then looks to the future, and imagines where those painful problems (and more pain) may occur there. Back and forth your mind goes – past to future, past to future. Imagining the worst… Imagining that no-one understands you… imagining that you are too broken to be fixed. The more time you spend in your mind, the more disconnected and alone you will feel. In truth, it is your mind’s crazy imaginings which are keeping you depressed. How many times do you worry about what someone else is thinking about you? You get stuck thinking about past conversations, then you begin imagining future pain-filled conversations with those people. The more you think, the worse your imagined scenarios become, until you have completely overwhelmed yourself.

You think everyone else has it all together - everyone else SEEMS to be happy. At least, they’re obviously not as bad off as you are. Your constant thinking and analyzing makes you feel worse and worse. It seems like you just can’t get yourself away from those crazy imaginings and suicidal thoughts. You have become so used to shutting down those uncomfortable feelings, that you are constantly stuck in the judgments of your mind – about what you are stopping yourself from feeling. You analyze WHY you aren’t good enough, why you don’t fit it, why you don’t feel worthy. You begin to imagine that no-one likes you, no-one understands you; and no-one will even notice if you are gone… it just feels so sad; and so hard to be me.. NOBODY gets me. Nobody understands how I feel… I don’t want to be here anymore… I feel so alone… On and on your mind tells you how unworthy you are – until those depressive thoughts obsessively fill your mind.

Your mind’s crazy imaginings keep you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed; and alone – and stuck in thoughts of never being good enough.

The more you focus on how bad it is, the worse it seems to get. It seems like the whole world is conspiring to make you feel miserable. You begin expecting to feel bad; and resist kind and well-intended comments by anyone, insisting to stay in your mind’s story of how separate and alone you are…

You’ve tried so hard for so long to be (and feel) something that you are not. All those uncomfortable-feeling sensations seem overwhelming. So you keep stopping yourself from feeling them.

Your mind has concocted all of these crazy imaginings. It is your lower mind which is addicted to pain and problems – because that is its job. The job of your lower mind (the part you consciously think with) is to look

16

<< < > >>

for pain and problems. What happened in the past, what’s going to happen in the future - your mind will focus on all that went wrong; and imagine all that is going to go wrong. Pain and problems, that’s all that part of your mind knows. Everything that you stop yourself from feeling prevents you from feeling whole. When you suppress an emotion or a sensation in your body, you automatically start thinking (and analyzing) why you think you are feeling that way. This will always lead you to some pretty depressing and judgmental thoughts - about yourself, about others; and how empty and alone you think you feel. Teenagers often feel overwhelmed when their bodies open up sensually – they don’t know how to manage this intense energy their body is feeling. Then there are all those emotions – which left unmanaged, make teens feel repressed, depressed… disconnected AND alone. Then they get older; and all those repressed emotions are still there; making them feel disconnected in their relationships. Emotional and sensual overwhelm occurs when you shut down the sensational feelings in your body. Some sensations are really uncomfortable; and so you stop yourself from feeling them. As soon as you stop yourself from feeling, you immediately start thinking again (usually about why you think you are feeling them).

But nothing else gives you lasting satisfaction. Nothing makes you feel more connected, than feeling every emotion, every sensation - with your sensational self. When you are thinking, you are resisting feeling alive, feeling connected, feeling joyful and feeling free – these are all feelings, which can only be felt. Thinking prevents you from feeling. Peace can only be FELT. Jacqui Olliver is a Relations Strategist, Healer, Author & Motivator Speaker. Everything Jacqui teaches, is gained through insights from her own life experiences. In her new book: Doing This ONE Thing Will Change Your Life Forever! You will learn how to manage your resistant sensual and emotional overwhelm so you can STOP feeling confused, upset and lonely and START feeling healed, whole and completely empowered within minutes.

Sensational Self Development with Jacqui Oliver Do You Judge It to be Someone Elses' Stuff? How many times do you feel yourself resisting what someone is saying? You tell yourself that it is THEIR stuff, but are you really convinced this is true? Your biggest danger on the path to truth is self-deception. We sometimes become quite smug - as if we know it all. This can be a dangerous self-deception - a danger to our continued growth (it actually makes us go backwards) and a danger to connecting meaningfully with others. When we judge someone else as being 'less than' or 'not on the path' or 'totally unaware' or 'just plain stupid' or... (how else do YOU fill in that blank?) we often miss out on our own opportunity to grow in that moment. REMEMBER THIS: no-one and nothing can make you feel anything. If you feel resistant to what someone is saying to you, then it is YOUR feelings of resistance – which you need to clear. What this means is that part of it IS your stuff - so you need to face yourself and feel ALL of those resistant feelings. STOP your mind's reaction and your mind's judgments. To do this, simply SELF FOCUS and FEEL all those sensations of the resistance you feel, in your own body. Remember to KISS - keep it sensationally simple! Just because someone else has triggered your resistance doesn't make it their stuff. Focus on your own feelings, the sensations YOUR body is feeling. When you have cleared your OWN feelings of resistance, then you will see with clarity what is their stuff; and what is your own.

Every resistant feeling, has a gift you will receive at the end of the feeling of the resistance. The truest gift is Presence. If you truly want to grow yourself, you need to feel your way into the gift. From a state of presence you clearly see all the answers to your questions. You see what belongs to you. Then with that newfound clarity; you can accept, allow and release the blocks you have just found in yourself and others. This is when true compassion grows within you. Taking self-responsibility by selffocusing means that with every resistant reaction you have; you accept it, allow it and release it. Accept that resistance is yours regardless of what another person is saying, if you are triggered by the comment, it is your 'stuff' that you need to face... Allow the associated feelings - feel all those intense sensations in your body. Release the WHY from your mind - remember that your mind is addicted to pain and problems - and judges everyone and everything. If you stop the feeling of YOUR resistance, you will immediately be in your mind and judgments. When you self-focus on feeling the sensations of your resistance, you eliminate the need to judge others. Jacqui Olliver is a QBE (qualified by experience) Relations Strategist, Healer, Author and Speaker.

Then you become needy of an external feeling fix - someone, or something, to make you feel better.

The Power of One By Wayne Morgan

One area I have been studying for the past five years is called the Power of One. I have come to understand that the Power of One is the first part in our Journey to Love. In essence it works when, and if, you learn who you are. You will then look at things in a different light. This will take you to a better understanding of what a soul mate really means. In this part of the process you will start to face yourself in the reflection of what your soul mate puts on you. If one of you has not yet started to face and work on accepting these issues within yourself, you will not be able to accept it when your soul mate does. You must first learn to love internally. This is why most relationships fail in our environment. Most of us go into the relationship with lust. This is because we are looking for love externally but what we get is lust. If the journey to love was this simple we would have all achieved it by now. My own personal journey has taken me though these processes. The closer I have got to understanding myself the better my external relationships have become. At this stage of my progress I can say with a little certainty that it is difficult to find yourself and you need to continually look. I now understand the art of binding or melding the Power of One. I have attempted to create the Power of One now on three occasions. Each time it has brought more lessons and with each attempt I have got a better understanding of myself. I am now currently with a partner who has joined this journey and so far we have passed both stage 1 - The Meld (Which is about joining our energy together), and stage 2 - The Reflection (Which is about facing each other and saying thank you for showing me my blocks). We are now working on stage 3 - Letting Go of personal conditioning which is mostly from the past. The other three relationships got stuck at stage 2. There are 7 stages that I know of in this process.

18

I currently run workshops helping people to understand the process of The Power of One. In addition to the power of one, I also talk about unconditional love. So what is the meaning of unconditional love? We hear these words used a lot, but what do they really mean? And can we really achieve a state of being that is unconditional? I don’t believe that this is possible at this time as it would take a large number of us to achieve this. Any one individual saying that they are “unconditional love” just tells me they are a very needy individual. If someone really did achieve this state of consciousness, I think humanity as a whole would see this person as our saviour. The main challenge we have is to face our own demons and if or when enough of us do, then you will get a group of The Power of Ones standing together without Judgement, Neediness, Jealousy, and Fear. So remember, don’t follow others, and find your own uniqueness.

Come along to one of my workshops or classes and learn about yourself and how to meld with a soul mate so you too can start the Journey of Love. For more info go to www.souldestiny.co.nz

Switching off the Female 'Guilt Hormone' By Debbie Gillespie from BodyMind Balance

When did you last feel guilty? Like most women it was probably earlier today or at the very least, sometime yesterday. It is my observation that guilt is the predominant domain of women, particularly mothers. Women appear to have a ‘guilt hormone’ that really kicks in with the arrival of children. Around this time it increases exponentially (a bit like testosterone does in teenage boys) and then you feel guilty about anything and everything – I’m not good enough, I don’t exercise enough, my house isn’t clean enough, I should have done this, this and this, or perhaps you feel guilty that you work too much, or not enough, that you are not giving your children, partner, parents or friends enough attention, or you should be coping better, and so the list goes on. Guilt is an imbalance of the Sacral Chakra. This chakra or energy centre is situated 1-2 inches below the navel and can be thought of as our feeling centre. It is associated with relationships, expression, selfacceptance and how we feel about ourselves, relates to our sexuality and sensuality as well as our personal boundaries. When this energy centre is deficient, we can feel burdened by guilt. This then impacts on our relationships, our self-worth and our levels of joy and vitality. Guilt is a destructive emotion that builds upon itself – it keeps energy trapped and removes the joy from your life. You cannot have joy alongside guilt and vice versa so the more guilt you have, the less joy you have. You need to tip the scales in favour of joy, and let go of the guilt. So how do you do this and bring more joy into your life? While writing this, my son asked me

20

what I was doing, and when I said writing about bringing more joy into our lives, he responded with the wisdom that the innocence of youth has – that’s easy, have more birthday parties! While seemingly an innocent throw away comment, his words did in fact contain a jewel of truth - the best antidote to guilt is to bring more joy and laughter into our lives. And even more encouraging is that guilt can provide us with an opportunity to tip the balance. We simply need to ask ourselves ‘What is it that I am feeling guilty about? And the answer will then give us the action we need to take to tip the scales. For instance say you are feeling guilty about not spending enough time with your parents, the desired action or result would be more time or contact with your parents. Your options might be to schedule into your diary or schedule regular contact with them, enlist the assistance of family via a roster to have someone regularly touch base with them or continue with the level of contact you have with them but with the added action of affirming that you are doing the best that you can at the moment. Remembering that guilt is a nonserving emotion that erodes our selfesteem, sometimes the best antidote is to affirm that we are doing the best that we can. When we move from guilt by either changing the situation or to give ourselves a break affirming that what we are doing is good enough, we are changing the energy and allowing it to flow so it no longer stays

<< < > >>

trapped. And non-trapped energy is flowing energy. What does joy do? It flows. In and around. How else can we bring more joyful flow into our lives? If we look again at the sacral chakra, we noted earlier that this chakra has an impact on and is affected by our sense of self-worth. So why not celebrate who you are? There’s nobody else like you on the planet, so revel in and appreciate your uniqueness. Make a list of all your unique qualities, strengths and your areas of expertise. This promotes self-worth and self-esteem and brings energy into the sacral chakra. Increasing the energy into a chakra will begin to rebalance a deficiency – so promoting and increasing your selfworth will reduce guilt. Another tipping of the balance in favour of joy. Laughter is synonymous with joy so creating more laughter in your life automatically brings more joy into it. Some simple tips to help you get more joy – indulge in the things that bring a smile to your face – it could be watching and listening to your children or grandchildren, it could be being in nature, it might be the creation of something that comes from your soul or spending time laughing and connecting with friends and loved ones. Another approach could be to include some orange in your life as this is the colour associated with the sacral chakra. You could buy some orange flowers – gerberas are always great, wear some orange, paint a picture of something orange (accessing the expressive quality of the sacral

chakra as well) or paint some furniture orange. What about painting your front door? What a statement of inviting joy and happiness in! A slightly more subtle approach might be to place a plant with orange flowers at the door or perhaps paint the letterbox instead.

Soul Heart Crystal Essence Carnelian – the Gift of Joy

The colour associated with happiness and joy is yellow. Think of the sun, summertime and daisies. Adding yellow to your home is also a great way of bringing joy and sweetness into your life. So in summary to switch off your Guilt Hormone: • Give yourself a break and improve your self-worth and esteem by affirming I am doing the best that I can at the moment and that is good enough • Celebration and joy are two parts of the same coin. Celebrate that you are here in the world now in all your beauty and gorgeousness • Bring more laughter and joy into your life by indulging in the things that bring a smile to your face • Invite the colours of orange and yellow into your life Guilt is an empty emotion and it erodes joy. Promoting flow into the sacral chakra by increasing your sense of self worth, laughing and thinking orange tips the scales on the side of joy. Let go of the guilt, allow joy to flow in and enjoy your life!

Self Responsibility and Co-creation By Helen Barnes

Sacred Soul Immersion Journeys facilitated by Helen Barnes Egypt 11.11.11

As divine beings we are creator beings and therefore we co-create all of our life’s experiences. After all we set up the divine blueprint and arrange the contracts for our earthly experience before we incarnate, so it makes perfectly good sense that we continue to be responsible for all that happens to us.

What better place to experience the powerful energies of 11.11.11 than in the Kings Chamber of the Great Pyramid of Cheops? Staying at Helen’s house at the Pyramids offers a wonderful opportunity to experience the ‘real’ Egypt. Having lived in Egypt for several years, Helen is able to bring you Egypt in a unique and transformational way. There are 2 group departures that will overlap creating the opportunity for a private visitation to the Kings Chamber on 11.11.11.

Divine Woman Return to Avalon

The problem is we often get into a limited mindset that outside influences are responsible for what happens in our lives and this leads to blame and denial of self responsibility. To be responsible for self requires us to see that every manifestation is a direct result of our thoughts and beliefs and to accept that we are what we create. As long as we blame others we remain the victim of outside influences and we effectively abdicate the responsibility for our experiences. Yet we all have within us the divine power to co-create, but to do this we must first own that we have co-created all our experiences to heal, learn and grow as an integral part of our healing journey. Once we have accepted that we have co-created our human experiences we can set about co-creating a different reality for ourselves. The first step to self responsibility is to take note of every time you blame someone else for something that is happening. Listen to your words. You may hear yourself, for example, saying ‘he makes me feel guilty’ or ‘she takes away my power’. You may also say things like ‘if only things were different, I could do….’. These words create limitation as by blaming someone or something outside of yourself you are blocking yourself before you have even started. When you hear yourself saying words like these it is good to write them down and take time to review them quietly. If you are feeling that someone makes you feel guilty, you have in fact triggered your own feelings of guilt within. In other words you are projecting the energy of guilt and it is being reflected back to you. It is very likely that early conditioning has led you to a belief that you are a bad person and that everything is your fault. It is from this belief which is stored in your cellular memory that you feel guilty. When you own the fact that no-one makes you feel guilty, but rather

15 to 26 June 2012 Glastonbury, England The Divine Woman – Return to Avalon Sacred Soul Immersion Journey is a sacred pilgrimage to Avalon. Centered around Glastonbury, where the veil is thin, you will enter a new phase of spiritual awareness. Ancient memories will be reborn and as your memory returns, your vibration will rise to the fullest potential to know yourself as Divine Woman. Archangel Michael and Mother Mary will be ever present on this journey. We will visit many sacred sites where once Temples stood, often represented today by churches dedicated to Michael and Mary.

that guilt is an emotion within you, you can then make the choice to heal that part of yourself that feels guilt. Being self responsible requires us not only to actively heal all that no longer serves us, it also requires us to project the love consciousness to co-create the life of our dreams. We can co-create health, wealth, happiness and anything else we desire. First we must know that ‘what we sow, so we reap’. It can be helpful to take an inventory of what we are projecting. Are our thoughts largely positive or negative ones? Does our dialogue reflect what we want to create in our lives? It can be quite surprising when we realise that our negative experiences are a direct reflection of our negative thought projections. Negative self talk is also an inhibiting behaviour. Many people are unaware of how often they put themselves down – often done in the guise of humour. Negative self talk is often a symptom of low self esteem and feelings of inadequacy. I trust by now you are realising just how important self responsibility is to your journey of spiritual awakening. You cannot heal anything that you do not take full responsibility for and you cannot fully manifest your potential as a self realised being of light unless you first take ownership of your power as the co-creator of your reality. And so it is!

Relationships & why we have them By Trish Stewart

On the surface many people think they have relationships so that the people they are with can make them happy. When you are born, you have a relationship with your mother; she has given birth to you. It is her job to nurture you, feed you and to take care of you. You have the father, it is his job to protect and provide. You start to form in your mind a relationship and how you must behave with your father and mother and therefore male and female. You learn how to form relationships and what you must do for your survival. But relationships go deeper than that; past when you are conceived by the male and female in this lifetime, further back to when you were created from Source, to create your soul. And if you go back that far, you will realise that your main purpose is to improve the relationship you have with yourself, every lifetime that you have and every person that comes into your realm is there to teach you an aspect of who you are. To show you a way to make changes if you choose to, or to show you how you can remain the same. To do this you must understand who you are. Without change, nothing changes. No one comes into the world to make you right or wrong, they come to show you who you are and help you recognise your truth. Unfortunately as we go through life we take on board everyone else's opinions, beliefs and ideals, we mimic others behaviours to see if we are comfortable with them, as a child we will mimic the adults because we know no other way.

24

We learn that if we do not behave in certain ways we do not fit in. As we go through life we take on board other ways of being, we build ourselves, we grow and we become adults and as we become adults we fill ourselves up with the other beings ways we have been in touch with, we become fragmented. As babies we are ourselves, because we haven’t taken on too many personality traits and thoughts of others. As adults we are multifaceted, we have many personalities even though we think we are ourselves, we are not, we are our friends, our neighbours, our work colleagues, we are members of our family, we are our parents, brothers and sisters, aunties, uncles and cousins. Everyone that we meet has an impact on us and everyone leaves us with a residue of themselves. Unfortunately we keep separating ourselves from everyone else because we feel in separation we will find out who we really are. In separation we become lost and disconnected. Relationships are about us finding ourselves again, connecting with those who vibrate to our inner self, we have them not to make other people better, not to make ourselves right or wrong we have them so we can grow. Our inner vibration is the expression of the Beliefs we have. Every Belief like anything else that happens in our lives has a vibration to it Everything is energy and therefore

<< < > >>

it stands to reason that just as our thoughts have feelings that transmit as energy so do our Beliefs. Every relationship we have is an experience to help us understand who we are. There is no right or wrong, good or bad there just is and in “isness” you are being who you are. You have free will and you can change who you are with just a thought, you can choose to be kind, you can choose to be sad, you can choose to be positive or negative. You can choose to see the good in all or the bad; your life is your choice. Control issues come in when we aren’t happy in ourselves and we want others to make us happy. So we set rules in place and boundaries and we want people to fit in with the labels we give them so we know our world is safe and will go the way we want it to. In putting barriers up and controls on people we then control ourselves and we stop our own growth as well as other peoples, we stop learning, developing, we close down we become empty, we become lost and we become separated. For many of us it is time to unravel all the personalities we have taken on board from others and find out who we are. To do this we must go within so we can recognise our truth and purpose, while on the outside it could appear that our purpose is to learn compassion, love, to be with children, to help save the forest or the whales. Deep down the purpose everyone has is to be

true to themselves, because in truth we have respect, honor, love and integrity, from there we bring about a positive joy and abundance, it may sound idealistic, but there is no harm in thinking this way. When you are created the spiritual form comes through and connects with the human body our energy points are designed to connect the spiritual and the physical together. If you understand the energy points you will see what areas in your life you need to work on. Each of the 7 Major energy points is designed to work with a different phase of your life. There are other energy points and you can work on those as the time comes. The biggest question anyone must ask themselves is are they comfortable with life the way it is and do they wish to remain as they are or are they ready to explore other ways of being, knowing that to explore other ways the change must come from them. A surface outside change will not bring change from within; the change must come from within. It is a big ask; because as you change from within the world around you will change, people you thought as friends could move on, your family may not understand you, and often times it can become lonely. If you have been desirous of change with your life and have sat and daydreamed of a better way, then the Universe will hear your call and go into action to bring about what you ask. It may not happen the way you want but change will take place.

Emotional Rescue Skincare harnessing the therapeutic benefits of New Zealand flower and plant essences into a unique body lotion range to care for mind and body. We all generate stress but if you don’t dispose of it properly, it will pile up and overtake your life. Stress is often caused by outside circumstances that we assume we cannot control; we assume we just have to deal with it, right? NO! Stress is caused by our reaction to circumstances. Our thoughts create the stress. When we feel stressed, our mind is going go around and round like the hamster on a wheel thinking of all the bad things that might happen.

Transformation By Deborah Joy

“Transformation is another word for LIFE”

In all our faces at the moment, with planetary activity, social and political changes are occurring all over the world.... The dictionary definition of Transformation is:- the act or an instance of transforming, the state of being transformed, marked change as in appearance or character usually for the better, a qualitative change... these explanations fail to give me a deeper understanding and appreciation of the process of transformation, so I started to think of the word in syllables. Trans: across, on the other side of, beyond, through, change, transfer Form: shape or structure of an object, body or outward appearance Formation: the act or process of forming something or of taking form, something formed, manner or style in which something is formed, structure, specified arrangement

These definitions give a wider scope of possibilities; to go beyond form, to change the structure of, and to re-form in a different space.... now that opens it yourself up to immense potential. It is my experience and my belief that transformation is another word for LIFE! A life lived is a Life of transformation – its science that our cells transform periodically, and yes there are different time frames for different cells. Our life is in stages; baby, child, teenager, partner, carer, and grandparent. Of course, we’re all different and our individual stages will be that – individual and yet the theme remains true for us all. So what? Well, what would it be like to enhance this natural energetic process that’s happening already, regardless, to get in the flow, to

actively participate in your own transformation? I know personally, in the early stages of my Life, I felt like I was merely a leaf being blown hither and yon by the wind, with little or no control over anything...until finally I was running out of people, things, places, situations and experiences to blame and I took a look in the mirror. So began an amazing process of transformation, like the chrysalis becoming the butterfly and beyond only with consciousness attached, with an understanding that I get to choose my form and structure, and my space. When I realised this and began to focus on who I am, and where I am supposed to be, my whole life became an on-going transformative adventure.

BIOGRAPHY FOR DEBORAH JOY I am a force of Nature – as are we All. My passion/mission is to empower people to realise the force of Nature that is them. Through the unraveling of dysfunction, abuse, addiction and depression, I have come to know that Healing is possible and comes from deep within. Becoming a successful hairdresser, tutor and salon owner, I decided to devote myself full-time to raising my children. My second child experienced a variety of symptoms for which conventional medicine had few answers; thus began an in-depth journey through nutrition, organics, ten years of natural vision improvement, yoga, herbs, homeopathy and The Journey by Brandon Bays. I have done much work and study around parenting, self-improvement and creativity. Seven years ago I became a certified Journey Practitioner. I spent a year running Support Groups for women survivors of sexual abuse, and at present I am in my last year of a 4 year Diploma course in Homeopathy. I have studied metaphysics, through The Aetherius Society and am trained in Spiritual Healing, yoga breathing and pendulum dowsing. I am also a practitioner in the Science of Prayer. My prayer is to give Service and empower people to discover their authentic self and thereby their innate potential, so they may be their own Force of Nature, so they may best live their life, thus creating Healing on all levels of existence.

Have a Little Faith

By Melissa Bult

One of the common dictionary meanings for faith is confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another’s ability. There are several other meanings including religious concepts... Faith is an aspect of consciousness – you cannot, not have faith. It is where you place your faith that makes a difference. We either have faith in the things of this world or we have faith in something bigger than this world.

It is also important to have faith in yourself. When you can see yourself as the soul or from a higher perspective and recognise your connection to all things you can drop your vision of yourself as merely a human being.

It is easy to have faith when things are going well in our life but can be much harder when we face difficulties. The wonder of why ‘bad’ things happen to ‘good’ people or what you did to deserve this or that is one that has been analysed many times, often without an answer.

A higher vision of your-self encourages more faith in your intuition, wisdom and ability to move through any challenges that present themselves. You remember that you are in the world but not of it and your perception changes.

Sometimes there are no answers to many of the questions of our lives and we may never find meaning as to why something did or did not happen. Faith means being able to let go and let God and trust in the process rather than attempting to figure it all out because you will be forever searching. The universe is as complicated as it is simple. We may believe we have all the answers one day only to find ourselves confused the next. This is why Eastern religions insist that you keep an empty mind so that you might flow with the process and be able to learn and re-learn as necessary. If we invest all our faith in the things of this world such as work, money, image and even relationships we will find that our faith is often tested, because the things of this world are never certain and continually change. This is not to say that you cannot have faith in people or things but it is wise to place your faith in a higher cosmic understanding so you will naturally have faith that the things of this world and in your life are in perfect Divine order.

Living Thoughts By Gina Ravenswood

Our planet is going through a transition from past Piscean principles to new Aquarian ideals. People are suffering as the old energy breaks down and the new frequency tries to anchor. This is a difficult time for all of us; however we don’t have to do it alone. Help is available from millions of Spirit Guides from higher dimensions, as they stand ready to work with us towards a better future. Never has there been a time in the history of this planet where progress depends on awakening communication between all the dimensions. Gina Ravenswood channels the Spirit Guide Lalesha, one of the new Aquarian guides for these times. Lalesha believes spirituality should not be complicated: it should be simple and make sense.

TRUTH Truth heralds the beginning of a new age As she shines brightly on the dark beach of Loneliness and despair that yesterday’s hide. Exposing happenings as it resolves the day, Through uptight arrangements And pseudo-charmed pretentions, Truth wins over the charade.

A Year with Spirit, compiled from channelled messages, is a new approach to connecting with guidance (spirit). It shows you how to journey through the months with love. Gently teaching you how to remove your KARMA so that you can achieve your true DESTINY. It explains the difference between your SOUL and your BLUEPRINT so that you can fulfil what you are here for, and gives guidance on how to connect with the SPIRIT GUIDES and ANGELS that initiated your first life on this planet.

This world is dying, as another is being born.

It helps you understand and develop your different PSYCHIC ABILITIES, and explains telepathic communication and what your ASTRAL BODY is. Clear knowledge on how to connect with your HIGHER SELF, is scattered throughout the book. Removing pain from your EMOTIONAL BODY is also included.

Within all that is good, truth stands as the flame That burns towards warmth in society. Believers are the actors that know their lines. The audience are the aspirants that will change.

Finishing by explaining how to become a MASTER and tune in to your PSYCHIC GRID for the year ahead, as well as understanding on how to remove stress and confusion so that you can clearly receive guidance.

While outside is the setting To a more perfect day Where truth can settle: It’s her turn to play.

For those who wish to be part of this new time of integration, if you blend with these higher frequencies by working with light you will resonate with the NEW SOUND THAT ECHOES FROM THE BAND OF COLOUR & LIGHT SURROUNDING THIS PLANET.

To want truth is to breathe through the Endowment that this world creates, Through its wars and classifications of False pride and embitterment.

“The sword of truth when active becomes the Flame of LOVE.”

“Spirituality is real – it is Light. It is what you began as: it is what you will end up as.”

Transform your life with ThetaHealing by Nancy Cate

Ever wondered how to really change your life? To be free of past trauma or current resentments; to be recovered from illness, disease and pain; and have the freedom to enjoy abundance and confidence, knowing you’re living your dream. You have the key to achieving these things because we each have within us a phenomenal tool for self development – our theta brainwaves. It’s just that up until now they’ve been unrecognised and just waiting to be fully utilised in our quest for change. One simple way of doing this is with ThetaHealing™. What is ThetaHealing™? ThetaHealing™ is an energy healing modality founded by Vianna Stibal after she facilitated her own spontaneous healing from cancer. Her technique combines our theta brainwaves, natural intuition and focused mind, to connect to the energy that entwines in everything and create beautiful healings. How does ThetaHealing™ work? Theta waves are really deep brainwaves that can be measured by science. With their client’s permission the ThetaHealer® quickly accesses their own theta waves, to tap into the universal energy that creates everything. The healer then asks this universal energy for changes, and watches as harmony is restored. ThetaHealing™ is known for its belief work Most of us are unaware of the hidden subconscious beliefs that drive us. Our conscious mind heads in one direction to reach our goals, but our deeper thoughts can take us in the opposite direction, halting our progress. For instance, we complain that we’re not loved, when in reality we don’t know how to be loved; or we sabotage our attempts to be loved in order to keep ourselves safe from hurt. No amount of positive thinking slapped on top makes a lasting difference, no wonder we get frustrated!

dig deep; finding and clearing old beliefs; restoring our well being; so we can continue life with fresh insights, joy and inspiration. How does ThetaHealing™ feel?

Clients feel great! Many feel instant relief from their physical pain or symptoms; others feel happy, relaxed and light hearted. Some say a weight has been lifted off them or that they feel younger! Many are so impressed they want to learn how to do this for themselves and there are great classes available. What can ThetaHealing™ help? ThetaHealing™ can release past and present pain; heal relationships, physical conditions and stress; help bring us our abundance and soul mates; or build self esteem and confidence so we can find our life purpose. ThetaHealing™ will help you discover and eliminate what’s holding you back - then you’re firmly on your own path to transforming your life.

Look out for future ThetaHealing™ columns on healing specific topics. Nancy Cate is a ThetaHealing™ Master & Certificate of Science; and also the ThetaHealing™ Representative for NZ.

Illnesses can be caused by environmental or genetic influences; we can also become sick because some emotions and feelings go unrecognised until they surface as physical discomfort or disease. Our powerful minds can hold onto old negative beliefs past their use by date; what worked once can eventually trap us. Whatever the issue, each ThetaHealing™ session, whether personally or at a distance, is individually tailored to gently

The Power of the Mind By Mel Abbott of Empower Therapies

There is a growing understanding and enthusiasm for people reclaiming their own power over their emotions, their actions and their habits through using the Power of their mind. But even more than that, we are now realising that we can also have a huge effect on our physical symptoms through harnessing that same mind power. Perhaps this is where Science and Spirituality start to meet... Scientists have proven that the mind is extraordinarily powerful over the body. The Placebo Effect is already well known and the revelations of Psychoneuroimmunology are catching on too, but lately, there have been some fascinating studies about Pain. For example, a recent study found that people’s perception of pain corresponded more closely to whether they thought they were receiving painkillers than whether they were actually receiving them - (Click here for further information on this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ health-12480310) For example Hospitals in the US are helping burns victims reduce their pain experience by playing virtual reality computer games (Click here for further information on this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ health-12297569) and a study found that looking at the photo of a loved one reduced pain as much as using Cocaine (Click here for further information on this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ article-1360227/Looking-photo-loved-reducespain-44.html) Is this not what the Spiritualists have believed/known for generations? Understanding illness as a reaction to emotional states and traumas is not new to us. But using meditation to resolve pain or using emotional trauma resolution to resolve illness are still not widely offered techniques in hospitals. It is my belief that there will be a bigger movement towards such practises in the future. Already,

36

Doctors are referring patients to Psychologists and are suggesting that Chronic Pain sufferers might do well to learn meditation techniques. How long will it be before emotional trauma resolution becomes the treatment of choice for Cancer? Quite a while probably. But in the meantime, I have been impressed with the increased interest from Doctors and from government Health Providers in techniques such as The Lightning Process – a three day course that is based on the science of mind-body interaction which teaches people powerful techniques to transform their physical illness symptoms by using their mind. It certainly worked for me. It resolved my 11 year long struggle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in just over a week through using this technique and have now assisted my own clients to completely remove symptoms of Lupus, Vertigo, Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Food Intolerances, Fibromyalgia…. Throughout Western Society, there is a general belief that resolving life’s issues will be a long, slow and painful task. But does it need to be? My own recovery from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome took place in just over a week through using The Lightning Process and I have seen many clients for NLP Therapy Sessions who have made enormous changes from just 1-5 sessions. I saw a lady last week for an NLP Therapy Session for Depression. She had been so low that she spent

<< < > >>

all her time in bed or playing computer games, she did no cleaning, her house was very messy and she no longer answered her telephone. Three days after her appointment, she sent me this email, which she has said she would love me to share with others, to offer hope that change is not just possible, but is fast and easy. “I know I’m booked in in 6 days time, but I had to write to say thank you before then. In the last 2 days, it has been like I am living a different life. The TV has gone off mostly, even the car radio hasn’t been on, I’ve only been on the computer for emails, & I’ve been in bed for about 8 1/2 hrs each night, including reading. My Daughter had a shock this morning when she got up, as I was making French Toast & poured her a glass of fresh lemonade I’d made last night - her only comment was “What time is it?”, thinking she’d woken up at midday by mistake. On a normal morning, I would have crawled out of bed to put on yesterday’s clothes & drive her to school, all in about 3 minutes. I have achieved so much in the last couple of days, I can’t sit still for long - I may end up billing you for all the cups of tea & coffee I keep finding cold as I’ve forgotten them! Thanks again & I’m really looking forward to coming in next week & telling you about the adventures I’ll have had between now & then.” She has since reported that her daughter said five days later “I’ve always wanted a proper mum, just like my friend has. Now I’ve got one”. If we help people to resolve the underlying reason for why they are experiencing feelings or symptoms, it is my experience that the feelings/ symptoms can vanish very quickly. For example, I saw a lady for Alcoholism last week. We removed the Inner Conflict that she was experiencing and she said her desire to drink had simply gone. She has now enjoyed just the odd glass of wine with dinner instead of drinking 1-2 bottles every day. I love hearing my clients say to me “Thank you! You gave me my life back!” - Those same words that I said to my own Trainer three years ago.

Relationships & Soulmates in the Aquarian Age By Patricia Lankshear

Holding onto anger is like holding a hot coal and expecting the other person to get burnt.

How can I find my Soul mate? If I had a Dollar for every time I have been asked this question I would be a wealthy woman. Everybody wants to have a happy and fulfilled life and that usually means a great partnership. Well, we now live in the much waited for Age of Aquarius and what does this mean in regard to relationships? Well, first of all most of the souls on Planet Earth at this time of transition are old souls i.e. they have experienced many life times and have interrelated with countless other souls in the cast of characters we call the wheel of life or rebirth. There is no ONE soul mate, but just many souls we have unfinished business with. This means that to focus on finding THE ONE is a fruitless exercise. The first step to finding a soul mate of course is to face ourselves fully and begin to understand who we are. It is then and only then that we will resonate correctly and the law of attraction can be seen. Of course when we do attract another soul along the journey of life and the vibration is harmonious there is no guarantee of happy ever after. That is for the story books. The purpose of a Soul Mate is often to be their mirror as they are ours, and the growth continues. When you think about it, we are constantly changing our own vibration moment by moment, day by day. To stay in harmony with ourselves is hard enough. When a partner is involved, whether it be our lover, child, parent or friend we must make an effort to understand. Start with yourself then all else falls into place.

us to be very individual and clear, knowing who we are and what we want, and being passionate about it. Then and only then, do we get to understand the interconnectedness and unity that is now. So an Aquarian relationship is very often intensely loving and active then all of a sudden the people involved are quite detached from one another and just doing their own thing. To create a great love I would suggest get to know yourself, fill your life with everything you have ever wanted to do and focus on the best outcome for you personally then forget it and just live.

PATRICIA LANKSHEAR has been a Clairvoyant and Life Path Educator for 35 years. She was one of the founders of Crystal Image Healing and Education Centre in the Bay Of Plenty in the late eighties. She now runs development groups and one on one counseling sessions for Soul Destiny Foundation. You can contact her on 09 521 7009 or 021 102 6597

Aquarian age relationships tend to be very different from Piscean age relationships. The Piscean age was a very sentimental and romantic time for any love, and very idealistic. The Aquarian age requires

Animal Communication By Faye Rogers

Animal Communication is a great gift; the ability to communicate with other living beings - insects, reptiles, birds, frogs, fish and mammals to receive their messages of love, encouragement and wisdom. They give insights into our planet, into higher consciousness and how we are evolving. As an Animal Communicator I have a deep connection with all animals but also a deep connection with trees, with the stones, with the landscape, with Mother Earth, Father Sky, Grandfather Sun and Grandmother Moon. People need to have more understanding of nature and how nature is supporting us. As I walked around Hagley Park and the Avon River recently, the trees spoke to me and shared their stress and I sent them healing. The beautiful trees were suffering due to the Earth changes they have experienced but the trees also shared their memories of people fleeing Christchurch after the earthquake on February 22nd and how they were grounding the people as they were fleeing. We are receiving energy support from ‘others' if only we would care to look, to feel, to sense more, to have more understanding and this speaks true for our animal companions that we share our daily lives with and the support they give to us – UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. Many family pets are supporting their families in whatever way they can, some animals are here to teach us lessons, to encourage us forward, to open up our energy so that we spiritually evolve but are also bringing us beauty, fun and love into our lives. Generally animals are highly spiritual beings, however not all animals wish to become so highly evolved, and this is the same for humans. Some very spiritual animals have trouble living in the physical dimension just as highly spiritual people do; they may have trouble handling energy and this can affect them physically or mentally, and to live on the physical plane can be very stressful for them. To animals everything is energy; every thought, every movement, every memory; all of nature is energy to an animal. Most of us have forgotten that everything is energy, and that this was part of our ancestral roots, and therefore it is part of our hidden cellular DNA. Many of us are experiencing this awakening within us; memories that

40

we have bought forward are now awakening. Ancient man had knowledge that didn’t need words, unspoken inherited knowledge. Ancient man would have had understanding of the changing seasons, what the land was sharing, what the winds were sharing, what the clouds were sharing, what the trees were sharing and what the animals were speaking and this ensured ancient man’s survival of species and this is the same for animals. Animals haven’t lost their natural ability – migratory birds are traveling their same flight paths that their ancestors traveled, the whales and dolphins travel the great ocean paths, horses if they weren’t fenced in would have their routes to travel to source the minerals they need for their body. Many species have very specific roles here in helping maintain this planet energetically but this is the same for the minerals and plants that reside here and some humans are doing the same. Due to the great energy changes that are happening to Mother Earth, the animals are adjusting their own energy, preparing their bodies and living in the now and trusting is part of living in the now of being in harmony with self. They have great awareness of the Earth changes that are happening and that alone is an important message of living in the now. This is where we humans are heading towards; living in the now, trusting, and having unconditional love. These three things alone will raise our own vibration as part of our own spiritual evolvement.

Animal Communication and Energy Healing TO BRING AWARENESS & HARMONY As an Animal Communicator I am able to connect with animals and receive messages from them for their families. Animals have much wisdom, joy & humor that they love sharing with their families. The majority of my work is working distance; I will record a written transcript of your animal’s messages on situations in their own lives or if practical I can visit in person. I have communicated with animals worldwide. Occasionally I have Workshops. I have been interviewed on Close Up TV Show, Radio Shows, Newspapers, Magazines and also published writer on Animal Communication & Energy Healing. I will be having regular guest appearances on Spirit Talk Live an online spiritual show. Please visit my website for more information. www.animalcommunication-newzealand. com

The Formula for Change By Jane Kennedy

Change whether large or small is something all of us experience many times in our life. In my role as a transformational coach and personal trainer I encounter people who are in different stages of change every day. And over the years I have come to understand that there is in fact a formula for change. A formula we can apply in all areas of our life be it change in relationships, change in habits, change in career, change in work-life balance etc. The formula for change goes like this: D x V + FS > R Dissatisfaction x Vision (of new) + First steps > Resistance (to change) Put into plain English, your level of dissatisfaction with where you are currently multiplied by the vision you have of where you want to be plus the first steps required to move towards it must be greater than your resistance to change. You can work through your own example following these guidelines. Chose something you want to change and have been procrastinating about or simply not managed to change. Get a pen and paper and start writing. 1. Build your dissatisfaction levels: a. What specifically are you dissatisfied with now/ today? Be really specific and honest with your answers. b. How do you feel about that? Physically, emotionally, spiritually. c. Why is that important to you? Focus on you, not others this is all about you. d. How will it be in 1 year or 5 years from now if there is no change? 2. Create your vision: a. What is your ideal vision of the ‘new’ you or the new career or the new relationship whatever it is you want to change.

c. What would you be doing differently? d. Visualise the new you, situation, relationship, etc and really build up that picture in your mind, write if down describe it, put it in a colour picture. Do whatever you need to do to really get a strong clear vision. 3. First Steps: a. What can you do right NOW to move towards you vision? Make a list of even just small things you can do today, tomorrow, next week that will move you towards your new vision. 4. Define your Resistance: a. What are all the excuses you have been coming up with so far for not changing – be honest! b. Who have you been blaming for you not making the change? c. What are you in denial about? d. What are the barriers to making the change and are they real or perceived? e. What beliefs are holding you back? You can work through this process on your own and it is also really useful if you have a mentor or coach, someone who will not judge you or bring their own personal bias and opinions into the process to help you work through the change formula.

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. – Maria Robinson

If you’d like to know more you can contact me directly on janekennedy@xtra.co.nz.

b. How will you feel, look, be.

BodyMind Balance

Quick Fixes

Restoring balance to mind, body & soul

By Claire Turnbull from Mission Nutrition

What about the quick fixes? A few weeks ago I was speaking at a conference in Taupo about work life balance and about what you need to do to make sure that you wake up every morning feeling alert, refreshed and ready to give the day your best – rather than unwillingly crawling out of bed dreading the day ahead! When it came to talking about energy levels, I talked about the increasing use of coffee, energy drinks, sugary foods and stimulants that people use these days – and the irony that really they feed the cycle of tiredness and fatigue. The truth is, with the current pace of life with work, relationships and financial pressures it is easy for us to go for the quick fix – and boy, there are so many!!! Energy drinks, energy shots and even energy boosting chewing gum!! People (especially children!!) STEP AWAY… I know these energy boosting drinks and enjoying endless cups of coffee may seem to help initially, but in the long term they can become part of a vicious cycle. Your body can absolutely cope with some caffeine and a few coffees or teas a day will do you no harm at all, but when you come to rely on them to function, the story changes. So, onto my solutions – no, they aren’t glamorous and don’t come in a nice green shiny bottle, and I won’t charge you for them, but with everyone I have worked with, these things DO make a difference to their energy levels. • Don’t ignore genuine hunger! Isn’t it funny that you can feel super hungry sometimes, but if you are really busy and ignore it, the feeling goes away?! This is your body being forced to take over when you didn’t feed it when it needed fuel!! For so many people I see, this can make them feel tired and also means that you aren’t eating regularly enough and when you do eat, you might end up over doing it – NOT helpful! If you constantly miss lunch because you get busy or have lunch time meetings, have a snack or half your lunch at 11.30 and the rest of your lunch after your meeting rather than missing this all together!

44

• Get outside for at least 20 or 30mins each day! Your eyes need to be exposed to sunlight to help you produce the happy hormone ‘serotonin’ – if you don’t do this, it is no wonder you are needing to reach for that extra coffee or sugar hit at 3pm! NO sunglasses on for this one, so in summer, make sure it’s earlier in the morning or late afternoon so you don’t get all the glare or hurt your eyes!! • Drink enough to make sure you are peeing plenty of pale pee – dark wee = dehydrated = unhelpful for energy levels. At this time of year, get into the herbal and green teas – hydration, antioxidants and warmth! • Sleep – even if you can drink a coffee before bed and still sleep through the night, it doesn’t mean the QUALITY of your sleep with be good and you are likely to wake up and not feel rested. Stick to caffeine earlier in the day and less of it! Same goes for alcohol – it might appear to help you get to sleep, but may mean – poor quality sleep! So team, DON’T opt for the band-aid solution when it comes to managing your energy levels – in the long run, it will only make you feel worse! Help yourself, from the inside out!

Life in the “Aquarian Age” 2000 and beyond By Craig Lankshear Universal Healer for Soul Destiny Foundation

Most of you may be aware the pace of life has sped up. The vibration rate on Earth and in the Universe has moved from 8-9 cycles per second in the 1980’s, now the vibration is approximately 12-14 cycles per second. In order for our bodies to keep up with the higher vibration, many subtle adjustments are happening, for example we are mostly eating lighter diets or food, technology is moving rapidly and we have global business and systems. It is so important for our mind to learn to live in the moment of now as this together with a more alkaline body will assist us greatly to be in tune with the new frequency and therefore less stress and body aches and pains. (The only reality that exists is the ‘now’ or the ‘present’) Simplicity is a key for the future as by living in simplicity, we clear clutter of the past, which helps eliminate confusion. This in turn will assist INTUITION and aspects of “Soul, Mind and Body” to work together. This can mainly be achieved when we are consciously aware of stilling our mind which often spins out of control. It works mainly with the left hemisphere of our brain and reduces our ability to attain a greater level of Peace, Love and Harmony. Tips for adjusting to the higher vibration:

On the Couch Your Mind with Richard Gray

Since I am new to readers on this circuit, I feel it pertinent to give a brief synopsis of myself. But before this, I should introduce the subject I’d like to discuss with you. And that is mental health, in its’ various forms and guises, including the relationships between what are perceived as mental health issues, concerns and illness, And life’s struggles, traumas, spirituality, options and choices. But first, who am I and what wisdom have I possibly been granted to talk about such a subject? Well, wisdom comes through experience; experience of knowledge, for knowledge in itself rarely brings wisdom. It is taking that knowledge and experiencing what it is, and what it means, that may bring wisdom. As a preschooler I experienced spirit in my bedroom at night, and my (soul’s) final moments (in another person) on a sinking ship in a convoy during WW2. Growing up I’d sometimes get knowledge when people were about to die. They were usually members of my wider family group, but not always. At times I saw clear visions around these events some months ahead. After a while, I’d had enough and asked for this to go – which it did, along with any other spiritual gifts I may have had, although some intuition stayed! A severe burnout in my 40s, weathered without drugs but with much support from a Marae healing night, Christian, Buddhist, Theosophical, yoga and meditation practices, plus walking for hours and much more, saw me experience both trauma and spiritual reawakening in a very clear and sharp way. It was one of the most rigorously difficult and yet enlightening processes I could have chosen to broaden my being; a process that would not have happened had I taken prescribed or social drugs to help me cope. In 2001 I gave up professional engineering and ‘transferred’ to being a mental health support worker. I’d been around various forms of mental health all my life, and with my

48

experiences was drawn to this work. Much later I did a National Certificate in Mental Health, when they’d just started teaching a more holistic model, but I find my most useful knowledge comes from the above mentioned spiritual teachings, and my life’s experiences. After the core of the burnout had dissipated, 10 months or so later, I started venturing out again, and after a while began meeting souls in people I had known (‘I’ being my higher self or soul) in previous lives here on earth; we’ll speak more of this later, but in the mean time for simplicity they will just be referred to as past lives. I have brought up these three subjects; trauma, spirit world in the broader sense and past lives for good reason, for these are all things that relate to people who are often referred to as being mentally ill, or mentally unwell. We will start with trauma, as it is something almost all people can relate to, or at least understand that it exists; we will first look at the more extreme situations, and then work to fill in the gap. Let’s start at the beginning. A prolonged difficult or extreme trauma in a child’s early years can lead to what was known as multiple personality disorder – now called dissociative identity disorder (DID). What identifies a person as having this is, in the extreme, a person who has obvious seemingly different identities presiding in them, or in their psyche or behavior, but it may also be quite subtle in its presentation.

<< < > >>

"Trying to understand is like straining to see through muddy water. Be still and allow the mud to settle"

However, this sort of behavior is very rare but is commonly thought of by the public as a person who is labelled schizophrenic. Schizophrenia (SZ) and DID are notably different, but people with SZ can have wider ranges of behaviours that lie further outside what is called the norm, or middle path, that the majority of people oscillate about. But before continuing on, I’d like to bring up the matter of labels here. It is sad that people who have these wider experiences are labelled as though they are their ‘condition’. Rarely do we give people with physical conditions such labels. We may say someone has heart disease, cancer or whatever, but we don’t label them as such as we do by calling someone a schizophrenic, or saying they are bi-polar. This sort of labeling tends to keep them stigmatized and thus not so valued as human beings, and yet if ‘we’ took the time to understand and know them, and help them know themselves, we as a society would be much richer in heart and soul, for many are truly spiritual beings who have a lot to offer. It is far more real to say they have schizophrenia or bi-polar, as it is only a part of who they are, not the whole person. See next month’s issue for the next part of Richard’s journey.

Neuro Linguistic Programming By Eileen Darwin, Creative Director, Communications Plus Ltd

Join us at our seminars, skillshops or training events soon… The RAINMAKER Seminar 25-27 Aug With Wyatt Woodsmall, Ph.D.

Mirror or Match? … It’s all up to you! Behaviour can be mirrored … or matched, for example …

Building rapport on a deep level is a special gift you can give another person.

You will learn how to:  Break through to a new level of sales success  Sell the largest accounts in your market  Build career-long relationships  Change the way you look at your company, your customers and yourself  Generate the selling secrets of the ultra successful  How to turn huge obstacles into immense profits  Be considered the most valuable asset your customer has

• Watch: the way people … stand, sit; use their hands; tilt their head; blink their eyes; make facial expressions; breathe

Finally… Mirroring and Matching is a powerful way to build trust and connection with others …

FOR: Salespeople looking for an edge, Sales Managers leading teams and company owners seeking greater profits!

• Listen to their: voice tones; pace of speaking; phrases / words they use

• You can practise building rapport by watching Presenters / Interviewees on television – sit/ stand in front of the TV, and copy the peoples’ movements, hand gestures, the way they sit/ stand, both by matching and mirroring.

Rapport has been described as what “feels comfortable, on the same wavelength and being on the same page with someone” … in other words, rapport happens when you are “in-sync” with another person.

• Feel their energy style; how their body moves; warmth or attention they provide … To “mirror” someone, observe their behaviour / gestures, etc - then do the same as if you were looking in a mirror: (facing them) their right foot out – equals – your left foot out; their left hand on hip – equals – your right hand on hip … and so on. To “match” someone, observe their behaviour/ gestures, etc – then do the same as them: (facing them) their right foot out – equals – your right foot out; their left hand on hip – equals – your left hand on hip … and so on. Important: follow these simple guidelines … • To “match and mirror” others is not the same as ‘mimicking’ them, if you do this you will only succeed in annoying people – and from our definition above that’s is the opposite of “rapport” • The aim is to do these behaviours in subtle ways the other person is not aware of. • Have an outcome to “be with” the person in the best way possible for each of you • The rapport you seek will only work when you are respectful of the other person

• Ask a friend, or NLP Practitioner to practise with you. • Add to your own range of “movement, behaviour, gestures, etc and ‘purposefully’ build rapport where it will benefit you and others – especially when you’ve just been introduced to someone. • You can even copy words Presenters use – do they speak using visual, auditory or kinesthetic style – like “I see; or I hear; or I feel” also change your speed of speech to match theirs – are they quick, or are they slow, etc – they cant hear you, so a good way to practise until you become more at ease with rapport building skills. Next time … NLP “EYE PATTERNS” What do peoples’ eye movements mean, and how can learning this be useful for you?

eileen@commplus.co.nz www.commplus.co.nz

Communications Plus Ltd’s NLP programmes teach refined distinctions of “how to” create rapport … with integrity.

What would you like to know? Questions with Wayne Morgan

Wayne is a personal and relationship counsellor. He has helped, and continues to help many people make a difference in their own world. Wayne will be answering your questions on relationships with your loved ones. Wayne has been studying Metaphysics for the past 20 years. He comes from a long line of clairvoyants dating back to the early 1100's. He was born with gifts which his elders helped him to develop over the years. In 1990 he studied metaphysics and then travelled to England and Europe to pursue his spiritual growth. Since being back in NZ he was guided to help create Soul Destiny Foundation (SDF) and as a founder has since been doing research on the different frequencies that we now find ourselves living in. The main areas he started to focus on were the difference between the generations (Indigo, Crystal and Rainbow Children). Wayne has been a solo father for approximately 7 years, so has had the lessons first hand from his children. Wayne being an indigo child himself, raising crystal and rainbow children has resulted in experiencing his own teaching methods. Starting with the Indigos, Wayne looked at their behaviour and the reasons they are so different to their parents. One of the first things his research showed was that indigos responded very quickly to

a positive environment. If you can get indigos to stop gossiping and then get them to work on their negative mind chatter ('Stinky Thinking', Wayne calls it), their environment will change very quickly. He started to do this with a small group of indigos and found it worked extremely well. Then other problems started to show up (funny that). Some of these problems resulted from these people not being used to feeling positive, so you can imagine the fun that started! A few members of the first group joined him on his quest to bring more positivity to us all. From that humble beginning we have formed a strong foundation of like-minded people, and it continues to grow in many areas. Wayne now does a lot of work with Crystal Children aged between 15 and 30, as he has lots of enjoyment helping young people to understand themselves. To submit your questions please email intolightmagazine@gmail.com and Wayne will personally answer your question and we will feature it in a future issue of Into Light Magazine.

My partner and I have been together for fifteen years. For the past two years or so, we have had difficulty communicating with each other and don’t seem to be on the same page. Do you have any solutions that would help improve understanding between us and help us reconnect? Sally Smith Hi Sally this is a very common issue between couples that have been together for more than 10 years. It is quite a complex issue, the main reason for it is you and your partner have forgotten to focus on the small things. I can give you some points that will start the process to change this. Firstly you need to make time for yourselves at least 2 hours every week. Somewhere quite where you can just sit together holding hands with your eyes closed. While you are sitting in your quietness visualise yourselves walking into a green door together (The green is heart energy). This exercise will adjust the energy between you and your partner so that you will then become on the same page again just like when you began your relationship.

The first 20 family's from Christchurch to email or ring will win a FREE dreamlit for each child from 3yrs to 18yrs in their home. dreamlits@gmail.com 09 521 7009 Testimonial I received 3 Dreamlits. One each for my 2 children & myself. My biggest concern before receiving these was my 10 year old son. Since the earthquakes he had been suffering from what could only be described as night 'terrors', not just nightmares. He would wake with a deep, throat curdling scream, then run to my room traumatised. Since the 2nd earthquake on February 22nd he had also re-gressed to bedwetting again. Not all the time, but alot. This would leave him further traumatised. My daughter, wouldn't leave my bed & often woke crying. Feeling like she was trapped. When I did manage to sleep, I would wake tired & was no longer dreaming. I was gifted the dreamlits by a wonderful group of people. My son was told that the energy from the special stones were magical & could take away bad dreams. He never takes them off. He wears them to school because he swears they help him feel brave. When he first got them, he only wore them at night & we knew the nights he forgot to put them on or when they rolled off, because he would wake with a start. Now to save forgetting, he just doesn't take them off. He has wet the bed once since receiving them & that is because, I believe, he slept 12 hours. ? Which is not like him. He was hyperactive. My daughter is back in her own bed & snoring again. She has 'boring' dreams now, which is how she likes them. I have the deepest sleeps when I wear my dreamlits. I dream again. I wear mine all the time because they are pretty & help with the 'butterflies' I have had in my stomach, from living in an 'aftershock ridden' city. I was told that it is probably a placebo effect that is helping my family but I beg to differ. Especially when you consider on the nights that they rolled off my sons skinny arm, in his sleep, he woke terrified. He went to sleep with them on. Thank you for the lovely Dreamlits. Sweet dreams to you all from this less stressed Christchurch family. Kim

She has presented over 11,000 hours of keynotes, workshops, seminars and lectures reaching an astounding 55,000 people throughout Australasia.

She is featured in 2 other books called Land of the Long White Cloud by Chris Dodds and Woman 2 Woman Amanda Ellis and June McCabe. Alongside the development of her positive psychology based programs Pat has developed her Good Grief program. A post traumatic recovery and grieving program, it was developed almost 5 years ago. Pat worked with 4 Jungian Psychotherapists for 12 months where they met monthly and shared their personal journeys using storytelling. They cast (using plaster of paris bandage) each others body parts, relative to what was present and causing grief or angst in their lives at the time. Then, using their knowledge of myths, legends, fairytales and symbolism they made meaningful art of the cast piece. This process enabled the past trauma to be released and put to rest in the art. From here Pat was able to integrate her background in health, the positive psychology principles, her skill with the plaster application process and expanding knowledge of

sacred geometry. The program is conducted in a high trust environment and encompasses the use of storytelling and the acknowledgement of the grief and loss experienced; ceremony that brings reverence to that which has passed and honours the path forward; aspects of the work of Elizabeth Keble Ross to complete unfinished business ; the application of the Virtues Project companioning or listening process; the intuitive work of Clarissa Pinkola Estes restoring soul based culture ; Jungian principles including identifying archetypes and persona ; Positive Psychology principles applied to language and developing optimism; The casting process which is guided, leading to identifying stored emotions.

As a mixed media artist and in her Good Grief programs she combines her skills as a dressmaker, milliner, make up artist, scriptwriter, producer, director to create experiences, . canvases and installations that depict the evolution of “self”. She worked for 12 months with 4 Jungian psychotherapists exploring myths, casting body parts and making meaning of life events, exploring legends fairytales and symbolism and now pools all this intellectual and creative capital into her work with people in grief and trauma.

The casting work is inspired by the work of Christiane Corbat whose art can be seen on http://www. christianecorbat.com . She used body-casting sculpture as a way to transform the perspective of illness, personal crisis or fear. This work has involved creating empowering portraits of people with devastating illness

The casting art is depicted here and on her blog. http://parmitstead.blogspot.com/ Pat has produced 10 documentaries and freelanced for news and 60 minutes. She also has her own radio program ” Radio Improv Joy in the moment” on www.planetaudio.org.nz/rdioimprov

Pat’s program explores grieving in context with its role and relationship to health and wellbeing and supports people to find meaning and fulfill their potential as a result of loss, be that through illness, bereavement, divorce, redundancy or restructuring in the workplace. We grieve for that which we have loved and the processes utilized honor that love and facilitate the achievement of equanimity and joyful empowerment. Pat says during this experience participants will be nurtured in a high trust environment and share through storytelling their grief and loss, thereby experiencing intimate communion and the degree to which we are interconnected. I lead people to find or make meaning of their loss in a positive way, by exposing them to myths, legends, fairytales and symbolism to open creative expression. We then cast and work co-creatively to make a sculpture that absorbs, reflects and honours their loss. This is a profound place of intimacy and works directly with the emotional body and the nature of pain from the mind body perspective . I think sadness is love announced and this is a wondrous place to begin to heal.

Our Beautiful New Children By Lynley Frame

My passion is children; my working life has been learning how we can make a kinder world for the new children in our world. Much of that life has been in the nursing world trying to see through their eyes. Learning how to make the things we do to these children in the best of their interests easier for them, for example listening to them and their needs, as they are very different to us adult people. We used to hold them down and keep their families away from them. This has now changed dramatically and I was part of that change in England. It is now time to meet these children and understand what they need from us all. Plus to learn what they have come here to teach us all. Just look into their eyes and feel these beautiful souls. Meet them on their level of consciousness if you can. Or at least try. These children are coming in with greater knowledge than we know. My passion has now taken me into Starship Hospital as a Volunteer Grandmother cuddling babies and playing with children. These parents are at their childs bedside 24/7 with absolutely no normality in their life. They lend me their child and I am able to connect with these beautiful souls who are here to teach us all, and sadly, many of them are just here to teach us for a very short time. This passion has also taken my Reiki teaching to children. I have been blessed to be able to take Reiki into the Child Cancer Foundation teaching both parents and children the peaceful Reiki way of a daily self-treatment. I have also been able to share all this knowledge and share my home and garden with so many children over the last 18 months. Some of the children call my home Heaven. To me it is just number 77. The children blow me away. When they are together they experience each other and so often are able to see and feel the energy fields of flowers, plants, trees,

56

“These Ancient Children coming in now are bringing wisdom and knowledge we need to hear and listen to�

crystals and also each other. It gives them a safe place to experience these energies together. We use a talking stick so they can share experiences with each other and they do that with respect and honour for their classmates. And this has been with children as young as four and a half. Obviously there is much play as their attention span is quite short and they also need to graze all day. Teenagers learn together at another level of curiosity. There is an acceptance of who they truly are and a maturity well beyond my expectation. Again we explore this within a safe environment where they explore their world. Each younger person teaches me something, and they get to experience the gentle and powerful beings that they are. I do believe we need to play with these children having fun as we learn to live together with respect and honour of the knowledge we each bring into our New World. Not forgetting that these Ancient Children coming in now are bringing the knowledge we need to hear and listen to if we are to evolve to higher expanded level of being. I can hear you saying What about the difficult kids? These are the children looking for their family. We need to look at whether we are providing that family for them. Open your hearts and de-clutter your stuff and lift your vibration.

Fighting Fit for Winter

A naturopathic guide to surviving the flu season By Lani Lopez Naturopath BHsc, Adv Dip Nat. Many people confuse a cold with a flu. It may be possible to soldier on with a cold, but you can’t fight your way through the flu, it lays you out for days if not weeks and this year’s seasonal flu, as it is every year, is a nasty and debilitating virus. The big question is; can I keep the flu at bay? Yes you can! You can start right away too. We can all take some powerful and simple steps immediately, to fortify your body against the common cold and flu.

If you have to have sugar, have fruit or hot drinks with Manuka honey, ginger and lemon to sooth sore throats, chests and sweetly warm you up.

Start with a healthy perspective. Stop thinking illness and focus on activating your immune system. This advice applies if you are well (and want to stay that way) or if you already feel run down with cold or flu.

Attack the aches. Pop a hot water bottle on your chest, back, stomach or wherever you need that heat and comfort. Wrap in a towel so it’s not too hot, just like grandma used too. She really did know best!

Here’s the do’s and don’ts to boost your immune system and fight-off colds or flu.

Keep it clean. If you are sick or those around you are, wipe germs away to stop bugs spreading. Keep hands and surfaces clean. Wash hands regularly. Got the sniffles? Use tissues or a hanky and dispose of them quickly. Wash hands after sneezing or coughing.

Flu Season Do’s Fight stress. Stress impairs immunity. Stop, breathe and relax. Do this often every day. A few minutes relaxing your breathing, lowering your heart rate and easing tension out of the body is a powerful restorative. Ease the Load. When you’re run down take steps immediately to stop life’s pressure if you can. Put on hold all the activities and obligations you can and ask for support from those close with what really must be done Rest. I don’t recommend exercising if someone has a cold or flu. In rare circumstances the virus can damage the heart. Extra stress on the body reduces its capacity to heal itself when you should be resting. Eat for immunity. Feed your immune system, and keep it at optimum by filling up on vegetables, soups, fruits, lean meats and good carbohydrates rice and pasta.

58

Reduce alcohol and caffeine.

Supplements that help you ward off the flu and cold or help you fight it. Olive leaf extract formulas and complex supplements like OLE-Up work wonders. Take the directed dose for maintenance or the higher dose if you have a cold or flu. I rate these as the number one supplements and herbal extracts to kill bacteria and viruses and you can take them with prescribed medicine. Congestion specialised remedies are great when you have a cold or flu (ask your health store or chemist). Inhale Friars balsam, lavender, eucalyptus oil or menthol based rubs are wonderful steam inhalants to help clear chest, sore throats and sinuses. Massage essential oils like these into chest, back and feet for

<< < > >>

congestion relief. Flu Season Don’ts Soldiering on. If you are sick, to get better, you need to stop and rest. Don’t share your sickness; don’t go work or any group activity. Junk food. Your immune system needs nutrition; don’t sabotage it with junk. Avoid refined sugar; too much simple refined sugar can lower the ability of immune system white blood cells to kill viruses. Smoking, every addicted smoker I know is constantly waiting for the impetus to quit. Getting sick with the cold or flu is the perfect prompt. Lastly a note on antibiotics. If you have a virus they won’t work but if you have a bacterial infection such as strep throat, or infectious pneumonia and bronchitis take the full course. Don’t stop half way. That way you can make superbugs that are resistant to antibiotics. After a set of antibiotics take acidophilus supplements to renew your beneficial bacteria. These are part of your immune system and fight bad bugs.

Does life these days feel more complicated, frustrating and harder to digest than other years gone by? Our body, health and mental state are struggling. I could swear someone or something has taken our world and speed it up, clocks, watches and all and now we’re running through our days and nights wondering where this year has gone... My name is Karen Wills. I bring you a unique modality called “Rubix Alignment”. I will find the organs not functioning properly in your body ie. Liver, panaceas, gore bladder, ovary etc, then perform spiritual surgery on each individual area. Next with the skeletal body the hips are put in their correct position and the rest of the vertebra are adjusted by pushing and pulling, No Cracking! If the hips are not in the correct place nerves and blood vessels may become trapped which can result in sore knees, feet (pins and needles), back, neck, headaches, locked shoulders, and after many years could result in hip replacements, etc. Our hips are the foundation of our skeleton. Just like a house the foundation must be strong and in the correct place to support the rest of the structure. Having your back adjusted without the hips being corrected is a recipe for your back to simply return to the way it was. With regards to our organs most of us could do with drinking more water to hydrate. We have three main detoxing systems, our liver/kidneys, lungs, and sweat glands. If your liver/kidneys are not functioning properly this could result in acid stomach, reflux (especially in babies), all sorts of skin conditions like eczema, acne, unexplained rashes and so on. It is important for us to have a balanced diet of food and

60

liquid to suit our individual needs. If a young womens body becomes dehydrated the first organ to be affected is an ovary which can cause pain, irregular bleeding or difficulties in becoming pregnant.

The Into Light Forum is a place for teachers and students alike to come together to share information and to help us all adjust to the new energies of the Aquarian age. This forum is for people of all backgrounds and beliefs to share and discuss insights to promote holistic spiritual experiences and encourage open discussions on such topics as: Astrology, Healing, Numerology and spiritual growth as well as clairvoyant mediums giving messages from beyond. Meadowbank Community Hall, 29 St Johns Road, Meadowbank Tuesday Evenings from 7.00pm - 9.30pm Payment is by way of donation on entry.

We are our own cannibal. Our body eats itself from the inside because the blood must be at all times PH (acid/alkaline) balanced. If our diet provides an insufficient supply of vitamins and minerals or we are under stress (thus releasing another type of acid) our blood will rob our organs and joints of all the goodness until, slowly, after time, we are feeling achey and unwell, but we know we are not sick. If you are tired of your body not being able to keep up with you, give me a call. I recommend around 4 sessions to be adequate for most people. You shouldn’t have to keep on and on laying out unnecessary time and money to give yourselves a better quality of life.

Music – its effect on body, mind and spirit By Noeline Levinson

“I am music, most ancient of the arts. I am more than ancient; I am eternal. Even before life began upon this earth, I was here---in the winds and the waves. When the first trees and flowers and grasses appeared, I was among them. And when humanity came, I at once became the most delicate, most subtle and most powerful medium for the expressions of emotions. In all ages, I have inspired people with hope, kindled their love, given a voice to their joys, cheered them on to valorous deeds, and soothed them in times of despair…. Through my influence, humanity has been uplifted sweetened and refined….. I speak to all in a language that all can feel….. I am the food of love…… I am comfort for the lonely… I am a necessary luxury to all.’’ (Anonymous) M. Weisberger, in his article, “Music Research at the turn of the Millenium (Vol.1V, Issue 2, Fall 1997) informs us that Music Medicine is a field that has developed at an accelerated pace into an active and comprehensive discipline. A professional organization –The International Society for music in Medicine supports research and enquiry, bringing together researchers from around the world in major conferences. Music Medicine emphasizes music as a most serious subject for deepest study in human behavior and human health. It has significant effects on the nervous system, particularly the brain and interactions between the brain and the body. Nietzsche who was intensely interested in the relationship of art and especially music, to physiology and body function, spoke of the ‘tonic’ effect of music- its power of arousing the nervous system in a general way especially in states of physiological and psychological depression. He spoke of its dynamic powers. We would now speak of its ‘propulsive’ powers-its ability to elicit, to drive and to regulate movement. In words which Alfred Tomatis would echo many years down the line Nietzsche writes,” One listens to music with one’s muscles” Time now to turn to Tomatis, the Einstein of sound as he has been called. Oliver Sacks was able to make temporary changes to his patient’s symptoms using music. However, dramatic as these transformations had been, the problem is that their duration was only temporary. How can we make these changes stick? How can we affect alterations in the neural networks and pathways that will enable the patient to function normally? Tomatis has broken through many, many barriers because he is able to get results that nobody else could get.

62

Tomatis has created a whole new knowledge base on the critical use and application of music and frequency upon body and mind. He is creating a Copernican revolution in terms of music sound and mind. It was he who first drew our attention to the crucial function of the ear as the generator of energy to the brain. The ear has the potential to transform auditory stimuli it receives into neural energy and to pass it on to the cortex. This is the basis of his auditory training method.

noise. The only sound which comes and goes at irregular intervals is the voice of the mother, and it is this voice which provides nourishment to her baby’s brain and which establishes an important emotional bond between mother and baby. This is the beginning of ‘paying attention’ the active art of listening, where so many of our children have difficulty. Our pregnancy programme with its emphasis on music and singing encourages the stimulation and enrichment of the mother’s voice in its vital role. The ear is central to development not only because of it’s direct link to the brain but also from within the ear runs the 10th cranial nerve called the vagus nerve which travels to every organ in the body. Hence every cell of the body is receiving the music. We use the music of Mozart ‘gated’ and ‘filtered’ in order to stimulate the muscles of the inner ear. Giving those muscles a real workout. Why is this important? Well the whole body is governed by the energy that is released along the neural pathways that run from the ear directly to all areas of the brain. The vestibular system which is located in the inner ear directs all our gross and fine motor activity. Our sense of balance and orientation, our ability to maintain a vertical posture, our ability to control all muscular activity throughout our bodies relies on a well functioning vestibular system. The cochlea is stimulated by high frequency sounds and energies the neo cortex, assisting with maturation, integration, memory retention, and much more. Although music can precipitate one into all kinds of mental states let us be reminded of how precious a commodity it

is. Whether we are enraptured and transported, whether we irresistibly join the dance, whether we listen engrossed or in ecstasy, music exerts its power over us. I don’t believe that ‘just listening’ to music is a passive process. I do believe that we are actively engaged in ‘going with the music, the rhythm, the melody, the memories, the associations. These engage both mind and body. This is music opening up our hearts through our ears and helping us to find and feel love. Because it is love which is the lubricant we require to facilitate optimum brain and body function. ‘’If music be the food of love, play on’’ Although in the Tomatis method it seems that we are only stimulating the brain we are in fact making connections in the being as a whole. This is the cybernetic loop that Tomatis describes as existing between the ear and the brain and the body. Therapy is the process whereby we learn to give room to our thoughts and feelings instead of stifling them or dramatizing them in emotional outbursts of rage or sadness or making the body the stage on which is enacted the inner drama of entangled and un-avowed emotions.

For more detail on the Tomatis sound therapy please visit the website www.family-focus.co.nz Phone: 09 522 8584 and 021 052 8980

What makes the contribution of Dr. Alfred Tomatis so valuable is that not only has he provided us with an extraordinary concept of the nature of auditory function and its intimate relationship to brain function, but best of all he has also provided us with a tool to enhance the ear and therefore the whole of our physical mental and spiritual functionality. There exists today a growing body of research into the neurological and psychological effects of resonance and frequencies on the human body. I picture the brain as a giant sponge willing to absorb whatever it is fed by all our senses. The crucial question we have to ask is: How does this brain of ours organize and regulate all the information it receives? This is a highly complex field of study, with much fascinating and illuminating work being carried on all over the world. Tomatis has contributed a special understanding of this process, involving both music as sound and the ear. This organ which is the gateway to the brain is the first to be fully developed at 4 and half months in utero, and is the first pathway to brain development. The fetus is hearing the maternal heart, her respiration, as well as her intestinal gurgling and this comprises a constant background

Getting to the cause of your symptoms Regain health by working with your body intelligence By Kim Knight, accredited Mickel Therapist Mickel Therapy is a revolutionary body-mind therapy created specifically for a variety of ‘energy disorders’. Dr Mickel, a medical doctor in the UK, developed an interest in CFS/ME and Fibromyalgia whilst working as a GP. Frustrated by conventional attempts to treat the conditions he trained and worked as an Eriksonian Therapist, and then went on to develop the treatment now known as Mickel Therapy. Following its success in the UK, bringing it to nationwide attention, Mickel Therapy is now being practiced in various countries around the globe, and the first practitioners were trained in New Zealand in 2006. Mickel Therapy is an holistic treatment for the bodymind rather than a form of psychotherapy. It is a structured dialogue designed to reach the cause of the symptoms and then give clients the tools to change the underlying cause of the symptoms so that the body no longer needs to create them. It requires no medication, dietary change or use of supplements. Although originally created specifically for the conditions of ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis), CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), FMA (Fybromyalgia) and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), it has also been discovered to be effective for many other conditions, including stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia. “Mickel Therapy works by listening to and interpreting symptoms rather than by trying to eradicate them” Dr David Mickel Symptoms are intelligent communication. Mickel Therapy focuses primarily on the nature of the body intelligence, (as opposed to the ‘head’ intelligence), and teaches clients how the body uses symptoms to communicate to the head intelligence. Because the body cannot communicate using words, it uses body sensations instead - often experienced as physical symptoms (“illness”) – in order to communicate its needs to us. It is essential that people begin to understand that symptoms are never

64

the cause - only the effect - of an illness. They are a message from the body to say something needs to be listened to, looked at and, most importantly, acted upon. In Dr Mickel’s words, “Mickel Therapy works by listening to and interpreting symptoms rather than by trying to eradicate them”. Mickel Therapy assumes that the body is supremely intelligent, always truthful, and that this intelligence seeks to protect the individual from unhealthy interactions with the environment. Symptoms are therefore offering an intelligent, helpful and necessary solution to imbalances that have been detected by the body. By interpreting and translating the message behind symptoms, Mickel Therapy coaches clients in allowing the body to stop sending them. Whatever the presenting condition or symptoms, the actual message that the body is trying to send through to the mind is usually the same - it is just manifesting in a different way according to each individual (e.g. for some people chronic fatigue, others irritable bowel, others anxiety, or a mixture of several). Initially client and therapist work on interpreting and translating the message that has been masquerading behind the symptoms, so that the client can at last hear what the body has been trying to communicate to them. Then the therapist instructs the client in the use of specific ‘tools’ which they use when symptoms arise, so that the body can see that it no longer needs to send symptoms. “My physical fatigue symptoms completely disappeared early on. My anxiety has reduced immensely. Emotionally, I can now allow myself to feel a range of emotions (even without knowing a specific reason behind them). Apart from the obvious lack of fatigue symptoms giving me physical energy, I am able to talk more frankly and express my thoughts

<< < > >>

more rather than being afraid of what people think of me.” Client feedback after treatment. Mickel Therapy and ‘Hypothalamitis’. The basic idea behind Mickel Therapy and the conditions of CFS, ME and FMA is that symptoms are created by a dysfunctional Hypothalamus gland, which then produces its physical effects through the Nervous, Endocrine and Immune systems. This is described by Dr Mickel as the state of ‘Hypothalamitis’ which translates as ‘inflammatory condition of the Hypothalamus’. Client and therapist then start to translate the unconscious message that triggers the Hypothalamus to produce the symptoms. The process of Mickel Therapy is designed to give the client the resources necessary to understand the body intelligence and therefore to stop the return of symptoms in the future. Is Mickel Therapy a form of psychotherapy? No. Mickel Therapy is a body-mind healing process. Unlike psychotherapy where the emphasis may be on addressing behavioral problems and investigating thoughts in order to treat the mind, in Mickel Therapy the focus is on addressing symptoms as solutions. This makes sense since CFS/ME and FMA are physical illnesses and not psychological. And in contrast to many forms of physical therapy, the Mickel therapist does not try to remove symptoms through massage, diet or drugs which merely ‘shoot’ the messenger. The key to the Mickel Therapy is working with physical symptoms in order to clear the messages that are linked to them, and teaching clients how to work with their innate body intelligence to the degree that it is then allowed to stop sending symptoms. Your body never lies – your body is your friend.

Animals have hearts too! By Jeanne Northwood - Energy Works

This is not the physical heart that I am referring too. I am meaning the emotional heart, the compassionate heart, the loving heart................ We share so much with our animals; good times and not so good times, adventure, and even our secrets. What don’t we share with them? Not all animals will share our homes. Some will be put out on the street to fend for themselves, no longer wanted or “just do not suit our lifestyle anymore”. Some will be abused, some will be just left. Some will be commercially kept, or mass produced for money. Some that do share our homes will not be loved, or well cared for. But they will all share their hearts with us regardless of our selfish attitude! That is because an animal’s heart gives pure love, with no strings attached! With my work at Energy Works, I have met many animals along the way. I have met stressed animals, fretting too much about others in their lives instead of themselves, horses that have been abused in the name of ‘breaking them in’, or handling, that carry permanent emotional, and sometimes, physical scars, animals who need help to heal due to their interaction with us, and also animals who just have their own agenda! And I have also met animals that want peace for themselves, or their loved ones, before they cross over to go ‘home’. So who has the heart? Animals that love us, share their lives with us, are also able to link mentally and emotionally with us as well. That is how they communicate naturally in their everyday world. We are the different ones! We need to make noises and actions to communicate. So it is easy for them to pick up our worries, our stresses, and our issues just by linking their heart to ours.

someone, who has had cancer, or a debilitating health issue, only to find that in a year or two, Felix or Fido suddenly develops the same, or similar physical issue. Just a coincidence? I think not. Ask yourself, do they have an emotional issue, or are you noticing changes in their behaviour? Is your animal stressed? Are you? Is it their stress or yours? So what can we do about this? We can remember that they have hearts! We can offer our animals healing when they need it – when we think that they may be out of balance, when they have illness, injury, or behavioural issues – just for starters. We can take the time to try and understand them better, and how their lives are intimately linked with our own. We can give them respect, and we can give them OUR HEART – OUR LOVE - unconditionally.

And, like people, these issues, if not cleared and addressed, can then change into physical issues, such as behavioural changes, illness, and injuries. How often do we know of someone, or heard of

Should You Use Organic Skin Care Products? By Organic Emi – a World Organic Consultant

Its been proven that around 60 per cent of the products we use on our skin are absorbed deep into the system. Understanding how the skin functions reveals concerns about the possible long term effects caused by the combination of chemicals used in many skin and body care products, often termed ‘the chemical cocktail effect’. The alarming fact is these chemicals are largely cheaper synthetic imitations of the natural extracts, and are used as preservatives and colourings mainly to keep cost down and profits up! So when choosing your skin care give it nice, organic plant extracts and oils rather than harsh synthetic chemicals. You’d drink a delicious fruit smoothie but we’re guessing not a glass of bleach! So why treat your skin any differently? Organic skin care products are made from certified organic ingredients that will have been grown without coming into contact with dangerous pesticides. Chemicals used in mainstream skin care products can commonly cause reactions like spots, rashes or skin irritation! Natural products are much less likely to adversely affect sensitive skin, so you can smooth on those beauty products happily.

Are free from GMO ingredients, nano particles, DEA and carbomers Are free from parabens, minerals, silicons, SLS and PEG (polyethylenglycol) Prices of our skincare range from $29 to $71.50 Your health and happiness matters to us.

Astrology Readings with Andrea

GILLIAN 25 October 1967.

!@ # $ % & * ( )

Another great chart, a teacher in an institution, ?? a very intelligent person.

Below are the most common aspects in a natal chart which may be referred to on these pages: Trine: 360degrees, a flowing easy aspect. Can be one, two or three legged. Square: 90 degrees, is about tension. Opposition: 180 degrees, is about obstacles you usually know of to deal with. Sextile: 60 degrees, is about opportunities to take and use in a positive way for advancement. Let’s look deeper into what is influencing earth’s present day happenings… It is most unusual that the planets Pluto, (Which usually takes about 14 years to travel through one sign) and Neptune, (Which takes about 12-13 years to travel through one sign), and Uranus, (Which takes about 7 years to travel through one sign) are all moving into new signs at the same time. Pluto: (About annihilation and others money) Surgery has not long moved into the sign of Capricorn. Capricorn stands for government, leaders, bones and skin, steadfastness and planning and drug lords just to name a few. To demonstrate the influence of this sign, look at the falls in government and the wars and land changes around the world over the last 5 or so years. Take old Yugoslavia for instance, those changes seem irrevocable just as Pluto acts. Just look at banks, countries and people having the most horrendous financial problems. I am expecting though, positive breakthroughs in bone surgery procedures. Uranus: (About eruption, disruption, and sudden and unexpected chaos) It has moved to the sign of Aries, which is about action, forging ahead, and fire. Uranus hasn’t been in Aries for about 87 years. Now, I mentioned squares are for tension and this year Pluto and Uranus are forming just that, a square, which means mighty tension between two warlords. If

70

abcdefghijkl

these two influential planets were for instance, Sextile, our countries and leaders may be working hard at producing solutions instead of fighting each other for the top pecking order. Neptune: After doing its circuit it has returned to its domicile Pisces. Neptune is about spirituality, religion, water, germs, disease, lies, deceit, alcohol and drugs. So during this phase we would ask ourselves, are some people hiding behind religion? Are people putting up lies and illusions about money? Pluto: (About exposure) Pluto is good for gouging all these buried issues up front for all to see, so be aware of this during this time. Saturn: (About hard labor, planning, stoppages, landslides, and pestilence) As Saturn has been in this cycle during our last 18 months, we throw this into the mix and because Pluto and Uranus are ‘Square’, voila, we have more wars, landslides, floods, famine, as well as chaos in the financial areas. Mars: (About aggression) During the second week of August 2011 is forming another square to this configuration and you will be reading this issue well after that, something to ponder from that week maybe ?. Some of you historians might like to check dates of the industrial revolution in Great Britain, and the potato famine in Ireland as they seem to link up to the heavy planets. Sorry for the gloominess of the planets, however these are the world happenings at the moment. I would be the first to write another version and yell from the rooftops when things line up more positively.

<< < > >>

Top of your chart is full of sextiles and trines, many opportunites during your life and seen as a very successful busy energetic person. The lower part of your chart shows a deep family sadness which affects your health in some way. This will raise it,s head in 2012. You also have deep psychic ability if you desire to use this. The best progression ( advanced astrology ) happening for your is creating relationship-partnership opportunities and or head of a company. This is around you for another 2 years. I have yet to see this progression fail. The odds of this progression is 360 to 1. I am estatic for you. Over the last 6 months there has been thoughts of “ where to from here”. Don,t worry about this, the year will pan out for you. Lots of work to do next year.

MICHELLE June 11th 1971.. Some of those heavy emotions will lift soon and for approximatley another six weeks you will be sorting out family and values issues. During the next two years, Neptune of illusion-deception is causing tension in your thinking and health areas. Sometimes the Bach flower remedy clematis aids this, the remedy helps ground you during the dreaminess and uncertainness.

These transits look like they will sort out what you need and don,t need in your life as in 2013, the career propositions are abundant and will last over three years of building up the career areas and reputaion in the mysticical and anything to do with liquids.

Transits for you thus..

This doesn’t mean to go and drink the world dry ... Best time for you to get going re travelling, publishing and or education is September 8 th - 18 th 2011.

Wonderful opportunities with new friends , planning and maybe romance, abound 5th-15th October, and old friends and new friends around you end Oct, and beginning Nov 2011. Very much

ROBYN 27 th Feb 1993.

so, all of June and July 2012.This is a 28 year cycle so make the most of these dates please.

Pluto is trine your moon giving you emotional confidence and psychic development all of 2012 and 2013. What you farewelled thru Jan and Feb this year will appear 17 th Sept this month for finalization. The doubt which might upset you re decisions will be the following month , 13th - 21st October. Your will be well on the way to career setup Nov 5th -15th 2011, and this will promote May 2012, all of June 2012, all July 2012. Very good with that Pluto trine Moon during these times.

ROCHELLE 4 JANUARY 1973. Rochelle, your birth date is not exact enough for angle astrology i.e.the exact time gives the angle and cusp degrees which we use for some predictions.. I have had clients born at your same hospital. They are approachable to people seeking their birth data. I do however have plenty of Saturn

The process of evolution takes place alike on individual, planetary and on cosmic levels. The evolutionary journey that we are taking is very important in the scheme of the planet but it is nevertheless a transitional phase between the animal and spiritual worlds. The focus of my presentation will be on the evolutionary journey from an individual perspective with the intention to provide a clear context of the process so that you might be inspired to fully align yourself with the impulse to birth and engage in life from a space of deeping wisdom and surrender. To bring the topic to life I will draw on examples from my personal experiences, insights and images I was gifted through my intuitive art, my work experiences as a conflict resolution therapist and energetic healer and my theoretical understanding of the consciousness sciences. I will trace the process through the main stages of individuation, integration, transformation and sanctification. Each stage comes with it’s own challenges and opportunities for growth.
