From the Editor... This month we seem to be focusing on relationships in this issue... there are a few columns in this issue that talk about the different types of relationships we all have in our lives and what they mean to us and what we learn from them. This time of year is one where we start to make Christmas and New Years plans and start to think about spending a lot of time with family and friends, and then we also think about the conflict and the stress that comes with that. I myself find that family and friends all exist in your life to reflect parts of yourself for you to learn from. This month has really been teaching me a lot! I have a lot of people that I see regularly in my life and I am always observing them and by learning more about them, I learn more about myself by seeing them as a reflection of me. Every flaw, everything that annoys you, to everything that is positive about them and brings you joy, are all reflections of you, for you to learn from. The more you can look at people and accept them for who they are, and learn as much as you can from everyone you have a relationship with, the more you can learn about yourself and know who you are, and come to accept yourself. Also in this issue is an interview with the child prodigy, Akiane. I find her an amazing person; the art she creates is like nothing else I have ever seen. I contacted Akiane, and had the privilege of interviewing her. It was a joy to read the wisdom in her answers. I hope you enjoy what Akiane has to say as much as I did. We have an in house numerologist and psychic that are available to give readings, so if you are wondering about the relationships in your life, you can contact our resident psychic Pat Lankshear, or if you would like a Astrology reading, you can contact our Astrologist Andrea. To get in touch with Pat or Andrea, email your name, contact details, and your birth date or your question, to intolightmagazine@gmail.com. We will then feature your reading or question in the following issue of the magazine. Have a wonderful November, and remember to learn from the people around you; do not judge, but accept everyone for who they are, it will bring you peace, and will be instrumental in you enjoying the company of your family and friends in the Christmas season. Kind Regards

Interview

The World of Akiane Child Prodigy By Amanda Jeffs

Akiane Kramarik is an internationally recognised prodigy, considered the youngest binary prodigy of both realist art and poetry in recorded history. Featured in almost 50 international TV shows and documentaries. A best selling author of two books, 'Akiane, her life, her art, her poetry' and 'My dream is bigger than I - Memories of tomorrow'. Original masterpieces have been selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars making Akiane the most successful living visual art child prodigy in the world. Inducted into the Richest Kids-Entrepreneuers of America, Kids Hall of Fame and World Council for Gifted and Talented Children. I had the privilege of interviewing this amazing visionary and child prodigy. I see you are In Europe at the moment - do you travel a lot? Does that get pretty hectic? After a grueling and intensive trip around the whole Europe I'm back in quiet Lithuania. For the past nine months all my weeks were spent seeing new places literally every day, I have gotten many unique inspirations through my travels but often it does get pretty hectic. But overall, traveling is still my favorite activity and priority because it pushes me to know and do things I couldn't have ever done at home. In other words, it is the fastest way to understand the world and to mature. Are the other members of your family inspired creatively or spiritually? How do they handle your gift? Well, every person in the world is gifted in their own way. My brothers have their strengths, my parents have theirs, one likes to cook and counsel, another Is a pro web designer, and another dictated over 40 books and published his first book at 6 years of age of art and quantum philosophy. From the beginning they have supported me in every situation. No matter what happens to our family it is never broken, we are Inseparable and supportive, no matter what.

Have you counted how many pieces of art have you painted In total over the years? Not counting pencil work, maybe it has be around 250 art pieces including pastels and acrylic and oil paintings. What do you experience or feel or see when you are painting? Every day is a new experience. every day I feel different. Every day I see differently. I even feel every single brush stroke and bristles of my brush feel differently as they work with me and the canvas. My goal every day Is to try to create another world In a painting which people can stop and observe and walk into it and feel it. What sort of music do you like to listen to when you are painting? I am a big fan of contemporary jazz and cinematographic music, of course, I have that urge sometimes to listen to a dance and upbeat music as well, but actually most of my hours of painting I listen to BBC radio and ''The Strand'' and Lithuanian and Russian economic/political and entertainment radio programs as well. I see your comment beside the pyramid image that you don't fully understand what they mean, have you drawn other things you don't fully understand? Sometimes there are things that are meant just for the artist, and no one else to know and understand, sometimes an artist can't reveal some things what they really mean.

I read that you are homeschooled and that you paint most days of the week... how do you juggle your school work around painting?

Does all the art you paint always have a story or a meaning? Or do you sometimes just get the beautiful imagery?

Some days are challenging, of course, but somehow I just manage to balance most things, maybe its because I begin my days waking up at 4:00 am.

It comes mostly to me through the process of the painting, because I begin to understand and feel the presence and the essence of the painting when I'm going Into the details. Therefore, many times it's all in the plain sight and sometimes I would only understand it only after the work is done.

Do you consider yourself just a normal person, or has this gift made you change In any ways? The question is: "what is a normal person"? I do know I feel normal. I walk, I breathe, but at the same time through my years of experimentation and working In the art world it made me more cautious and it made me stronger mentally. I realize there are things that are not meant to be spoken but interpreted through other forms of expressions. To us, the world and the universe Is a phenomena, to the universe and the world we are and we make that phenomena possible. In other words, we are all different and there is no such thing as normal, because we are all special. Do you have any particular favorite pieces of your art? My favorite is always the last one that I complete.

<< < > >>

Are there certain times or places you get Inspiration to sketch or paint than other times? Or do you make it a routine to just sketch and paint all the time either way? Inspiration is like a dessert you have on a rare occasion, you can't have it all the time, but we want it all the time. I have my routine every day in the morning but I am not so concerned about waiting for inspiration because I know it would come to me when I least expect it. Where does your inspiration come from, and how do you get your inspiration?

When I was four years old, even though my family was indifferent to spirituality or religion, suddenly I started experiencing vivid impressions about invisible realms and a great desire to express them through art utilizing whatever medium was found on hand: candles, fruits, vegetables, charcoal or pencils. Afterwards my family started realizing there was a message that I was trying to express and therefore they began understanding it and supporting me In every way. Do you know who you are really? No, I am not trying to know; it would be too much stress to worry about it. But even If I did know, it would be hidden in my paintings or in my poetry secretly. Would you say you understand life and the universe at a greater level due to your inspiration? I'm still learning like everyone else, but I do know my life experiences and multidimensional experience’s taught me how to appreciate the ever changing life here and to love It. Is there one dream, inspired moment or painting that sticks with you above all others? It was an experience, a very vivid experiences- a scene where I had to choose my family and place to be born In. Before I was born... Do you have guides or do you speak to god, or both? Both. All. Everyone, that I feel connected to and comfortable with. What do you believe in? The link to divinity can appear as a rope or a chain depending on where you stand. It is separate from us but at the same time it is connected to us. The invisible gluons, neurons and energy waves always have their own divine mind working simultaneously. It is not only connection to one place or one segment of a truth—it is connecting everyone to the whole divinity. The truth to all the knowledge is available to all of us, but sometimes the journey appears to be like a mystery. I believe that no matter where you search for the sacred, the answer points always to us..

I don't wait for inspiration, inspiration always waits for me.

If there was one thought you wanted to share with people around the globe right now what would it be?

Could you tell us about the spiritual transformation that happened when you were 4years old?

The harmony of arts will heal and bring everyone closer together …

The connection we create together to realise who we are. By Kusum Prana New Year Festival 2012 is hosted by Prana Eco Retreat; a 100 acre retreat at Ohui, on the Coromandel Peninsula, North Island, New Zealand. The location is a magnificent setting of land, bush and beach that sees the first rays of sun on the Earth’s new year. Prana New Year Festival 2012 is held on sacred land. When the Maori arrived more than 1000 years ago they named it Ohui. A rough translation is: O; in answer to a call: Hui; to gather. Since 1993 healers, artists, facilitators, musicians, dancers, and families have been gathering here to celebrate and have added the word Prana; a word that means ‘life breath’; the subtle connection we humans have with everything in nature, everything within ourselves, and everything with the beyond. The connection we create together to realise who we are.

Managers, ZionHill, Matiu te Huki, Mundi, Paddy Free, Caitlin and Sika... to name just a few! According to the metaphysical scientists who will be sharing their research and understanding at this year’s festival there are thoughts behind everything we do. When those thoughts connect with heart there becomes an energy force quite literally pulsing out into the ecosphere and heading out into the stratosphere with messages for others. As they say, there are the seen and unseen worlds. Awareness of both is important for balance.

This 19th festival year, from 30 December 2011 to 3 January 2012, is overflowing with enlightening workshops, music and artistic expression. A gorgeous array of upbeat and inspirational presenters offer more than 100 workshops spanning Dance, Body Wellbeing, Transformation, Music, The Secrets of the Land, Yoga, Buddhafield, Kids Zone, and Art & Crafts.

The combination of Pranaland energies and positive intentions put into the 4 day new year celebrations is lifting the vibe to what festival goers describe as the ‘everyday’ becoming profound, the ‘everyone’ becoming special, the ‘everyplace’ becoming one of a kind.

Complementing this is a comprehensive music line up including Mamaku Project: "Metamorphosis", The

By all accounts this is a multi dimensional unique event! To find out more go to www.prana.co.nz

Prana New Year Festival 2012 Workshop Program. Prana New Year Festival 2012 is less than 2 months away! Each year the Prana Festival Team opens their ears, their hearts, and their whole beings world wide to bring you a varied and inspiring schedule of workshops. This year is no exception and we've hand-picked an eclectic mix of quality teachers, speakers and artists - all leaders in their respective fields. We know that great workshops are made not by just having great facilitators, but by creating an atmosphere where you can relax and let go. Here are some of the confirmed Workshop Presenters...

JONATHON ACORN Jonathon Acorn has been a Clown all of his life but only became professional in NZ in 1974. (professional meaning that he has made a living out of it).

Kusum

Life is short (so is Jonathon) and a smile is such a universal trait . To smile is to say so much in this world of angst. The Clown is a masseuse of the Soul.

The early days included some great jam sessions for me; they inspired me to play my finest fiddle anchored by totally on-it drummers and crazy keyboard players, lifted higher by flute players...one heart... one breath... one cranking hot music vibe that took off unto itself until there was nothing more to say and we became silent witnesses of a phenomenon that was as wordless as it was joyous. From 1993 onward I connected to the land and the people and would visit as often as I could. Between visits I qualified as a Kinesiologist, ran a private natural therapies practice, raised children, wrote, and bought a house. Then ten years ago I was serendipitously asked to help in the office. Friends contributed and we became organised. The festival is now run as sustainably as possible keeping ecological balance in our minds; with 1,500 co-creators answering the call to gather for New Year’s at Prana!

<< < > >>

The Eternal Clown This is a workshop to celebrate all of those embarrassing moments in your life that you hold most sacred and secret. Its not for the weak hearted! Clowns have to be strong. Whether you are wanting to perform professionally or just rejoice in your 'Clown Element', this workshop will change your outlook on you. So whatever your reason for taking part in this workshop understand this ... you will laugh (lots) you will cry (some...perhaps) and you will definitely GROW!!!!!!HAPPIER!

How past life experiences can shape the events of today…

By Terry Kellior Your first reaction to this article may be “I don’t believe in past lives – so this subject isn’t even worth consideration”. For those in this ‘camp’ all I can say is, if you allow what you ‘believe’ or ‘disbelieve’ to shape your openness to information, then you are severely limiting your growth opportunities. Beliefs are just opinions formed through many factors; often they are inherited from our parents, friends and communities. Unless you have fully investigated the evidence, both pros and cons to support a belief or disbelief, then your opinion is based on ignorance or limited knowledge. Not that this has stopped people strongly promoting their opinions in the past, but it is time for all of us to examine our core ‘beliefs’ or ‘disbeliefs’ and see if they really support the observed facts and more importantly are they mind expanding or contracting. We live in a world that is very divisive and at crisis point. The only way forward for us as a species is to open our minds to new possibilities that are more expansive and creative. While I have many ‘stories’ to tell about past life experiences I will briefly describe a client, Jane [not her real name], who had a problem with balance of a very specific nature. She was also open to the idea of exploring past lives. Her issue was that when she walked a narrow trail through the sand dunes to the beach with her children, she became terrified of falling over and had to get her children to hold her hands to maintain balance. Once she was at the beach she was fine. This was completely out of character for her and she was a strong confident person in all other aspects. One of the ways hypnotherapists use to relieve fears is to regress the person to the causative incident and have them release the associated emotional impact or conditioning. The person’s subconscious/ superconscious mind is quite capable of taking your focus to the causative incident when you are in a very relaxed mind state – and that is all hypnosis is. When Jane was suitably relaxed we simply asked her subconscious to go back to the causative incident and she immediately went to a period around 1850

when she was a 19 year old girl riding her horse in a hunt. She explained that her name was Elizabeth Montague and pointed to where her mansion home was on a hill. When asked if she had any fears of height or balance she replied “none”. When asked if she had ever fallen off her horse she said “when I was six but it doesn’t bother me”. At this point the therapist may scratch their head and wonder where to go from here – obviously this was not the causative incident. However the subconscious/super conscious has its own agenda – so I simply asked again to go back to the very first incident related to the issue of balance and fear of falling. This time Jane went back to a time in the 1700’s when she was a he escaping from a village which was being raided, somewhere in Germany. While she/he was on a narrow sandy mountain trail she/he was accidently pushed off the trail to her/his death. Now that Jane was aware of the causative incident we could simply ask the subconscious to release any associated negative conditioning or ‘programs’ and instill the confidence of the 1850 personality of Elizabeth. Now you may think that the subconscious mind is a very clever story teller, which conjures up an interesting story when asked. However the story is always unique and specific to the client and more importantly helps lead them to a more aware and empowered state of mind. In Jane’s case she found that she could now run freely along the narrow sandy track through the sand dunes with no concern. Why was the later personality of Elizabeth not afraid of losing her balance on a horse and why did her subconscious/superconscious take us back to that life? Unfortunately we didn’t explore those questions, but life is full of mysteries waiting to be investigated and our own past lives are the greatest mysteries of all.

Can I prove it to you? By Aaron Wigg

No effort is required. There are no separate individuals. There is only one. There is only God, the Divine, and the Whole. The many appearances and differentiations of life are one. Hydrogen can’t be separate from water (H2O), and neither can a drop of water in the sea be separate from the sea. There is only the one whole. Which means that everything you see, touch, taste, smell, feel, think and experience, is also the one and is just a matter of perspective. An aspect of the whole can be focused on and singled out, but it doesn’t mean that it is separate from the Whole. Let’s say I throw a dice, and it lands on the ground. Without looking at it, which side is facing up? All possibilities exist simultaneously don’t they? It’s not until you look, that there is one definite outcome. In that instant, all possibilities collapsed into one. Through the act of observation, multiple or infinite possibilities collapse into a single outcome. This means that when you make an observation, the infinite possibilities of what could be observed collapses into a singular outcome, i.e. “separation”. But there is no separation, it’s just focused upon appearance. An object of experience. Therefore, as a separate entity, you don’t exist. There is the collapsing of the unlimited into the limited and this has somehow been mistaken for being the only truth. The naturalness of the varying appearances always being in union with the whole, just like a drop of water being in union with a puddle, mysteriously goes unrecognised. Just like waiting in line at the Post Shop, and after being there for a little while you see someone standing in line in front of you that you know. You realise that this person had been there the whole time, but you have only just noticed them now. As if by magic, they suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and yet mysteriously they must have always been there. “You don’t exist” can be difficult to hear. It’s quite possible that thoughts of justification, projection or

victimisation pop up; and with them intense feelings of fear, anger or self-pity. But please let me attempt to prove it to you, and if it isn’t to your satisfaction, you can totally disregard it. Deal? You observe changing appearances, right? You observe the change in weather, change in diet, change in body weight, change in age, change in experiences, change in emotions and change in thoughts. Would you agree? So if you observe these changing appearances, I would assume it would mean that you are there before the appearances and after the appearances. Right? To observe or be aware of differing thoughts, it would mean that you are there to see the thought arrive, and there to see the thought go. I am going to suggest that you are therefore not your thoughts, nor any changing appearance. Do you agree with this suggestion base on the information at hand? You cannot be the changing appearances you observe. You could say then that you are changeless. Would you agree? After all if you did change, you wouldn’t be able to observe change. Right?

“All things come out of the one and the one out of all things.” Heraclitus

Would you agree with me if I said, the changing appearances we observe are physical in nature? Would you also agree if I said that the nature of life and physical form is change? If your answer is yes, does this mean that you therefore, if only intellectually see that you are nonphysical, i.e. without form? So what do you reckon? Have I proven it? Ok, you do exist, but not as a form or appearance. Aaron Wigg 01/10/2011 www.back2truth.com http://www.meetup.com/The-Infinite-Creators-Club/

Interview

Wise Cicada is keeping the delicate balance, of mind, body and spirit all under one roof. Interview by Noeline Levinson

I so enjoy going to Wise Cicada, that when I was asked to pop along there to chat to Leanne and Babak I was delighted... Leanne Morris has been running Goodey’s book store for the past 5 years now. It was originally started by Frank Goodey around 70 to 80 years ago. Goodey’s, for those of you who don’t know, is a book store with a difference, it specialises in mind, body and spirit books. It also has an array of beautiful gifts, from crystals to note books, and more. Goodey’s also hosts a number of talks and workshops throughout the year. While chatting with Leanne it became clear to me that the purpose of this fantastic store is to create an information hub for people. She is very keen on having created a space for people to be comfortable and feel part of the community. She moved Goodey’s to Wise Cicada a few years ago for a number of reasons, not least of all being, she herself wanted to be part of a community. The shop is very much like a co-op, they are all there for each other, to support each other and overcome all the hurdles together. As we all know, today the internet is grabbing a big chunk of business away from the traditional book shops. Goodey’s makes it mark by giving people the personal touch. Leanne goes the extra mile for her customers and searches for books they are looking for. She gives each person attention and makes the book buying experience an personable one. All in all this is something I strongly recommend. Book buying for the soul! There are a number of practitioners who work from Wise Cicada. I was able to catch up with Ann Curtis who is a reflexologist and an intuitive healer and a Munay-Ki coach. Munay-Ki means, be as thou art, or I love you. As I had never heard of a Munay-Ki coach, I asked Ann to explain what this was. I am not sure I can do the explanation justice, however, from what I understood; it comes from Peru, from the Qero people

who have carried 30,000 years of shamanic tradition. It opens up our luminous energy field. The rights are given for free, and the coaching and the workshops are about gifting the rights onto others. It seems that the aim of this coaching is about reaching ones full potential, through opening up all the healing centres of the body. Also working out of Wise Cicada is Inga von Benzon, who is a Bowen therapist as well as a Naturopath. Then there is also a massage therapist, Louise Taylor and a Tarot and palm reader, Cynthia. I chat more in depth with Inga about the work she does. Inga is originally from Germany and been in New Zealand since 1988. She qualified as a naturopath in 2003 and in Bowen therapy in 2005. She loves working with people, and being able to help people to help themselves. She mostly enjoys educating people how to look after themselves. Her favorite area of working is with the mind body connection. She is always looking to find out what makes people tick. Everything comes from this mental connection with the body. Opening the mind can lead to healing. Finding the trigger that actually is the manifesting the disease and working with the subconscious mind. She says: ‘It is all about balance, mind, body and spirit”. The Bowen technique is working with the holistic level and the testing is bioenergetics which compasses the emotional and physical body. It is greatly satisfying working with the other practitioners at wise cicada. We are all on the same wave length and we can support one another. It just makes it more fun.

headaches, frozen shoulder, RSI. Allergies, heavy metal poisoning, digestive problems like IBS, and diverticulitis, asthma and other respiratory problems, auto immune diseases and much more. Inga has a website www.holistichealthclinic.co.nz and she works from Wise Cicada and from Bucklands Beach. She is contactable 09 533 3583 and mobile is 021 540 544. Babak Sarfarazi runs the restaurant and health shop. He says his shop is a ‘piece of heaven’. It opened it’s doors in December 2008 and is going from strength to strength. It is centrally placed in Newmarket and offers a wide range of health products as well as sporting a vegetarian restaurant. The food is balanced, and so delicious. They are so careful with the quality of each item. Mostly the food is organic where possible. Yes you will pay a bit more for this fantastic food, but the nutrition and balance is the best. We chatted about the fact that all the health foods seem to be so costly but Babak made a very valid point, ‘to eat healthily was much cheaper than being ill’. The shop offers a place for friends to meet, to enjoy a meal and to purchase all sorts of wonderful products. This store all in all, offers one the full package, where the mind, body and spirit can all be fed and nurtured in this relaxed and friendly environment.

email Peter kakareki@hotmail.com Now as numbers are limited. Babak’s vision for the future is to get the store to become more financially stable in order to offer more to the community and charities that they support. His dream is to be of service to others, and to work with a team whose aim it is to enlighten others. From what I have experienced and can see he is certainly making headway with this. www.wisecicada.co.nz www.goodeys.co.nz

Wise Cicada is hosting the ‘Vegan society’ who are Celebrating world vegan day. They are having a buffet dinner with music and dancing. It will be held on the Tuesday 1st November 7pm to 11pm, $25 per person. To purchase a ticket call Peter Cooper 021 988 432 or Inga and Ryan

Inga can treat people who suffer with hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovaries, injuries or accidents, like sport injuries, neck, back and shoulder pain, and

A Message from the Spartians By Helen Barnes

In this issue I want to share a channelling I received from the Spartians. They visited me and as I had not encountered them before I enquired as to where they are from and they said Spartia which is in a galaxy a long way from us. Here is what they wish me to share..... The Spartians informed me that they are a green species, not as we understand green, rather a very light translucent green – bright in intensity and that their bodies are barely physical as we understand it. They say that their energy source is the universal life force that they create through their ability to recycle thought patterns of a high frequency. The say that they transmit neuro-electrons in thought waves into a data transmission unit which is a gigantic crystal apparently and this unit then amplifies and transmits these energy frequencies into the ether as their life force energy which is then recycled as they absorb these frequencies and recycle them in a continuous cycle of neuro-electronic thought waves. They say that the vocabulary that we have available to us for words that accurately describe this process is extremely limited due to the density of our earthly vibrations. They say that more light workers are being prepared to work with these highly evolved realities as we prepare for our ascension and that there will be more and more unknown realities revealed to us as the frequencies increase on our beloved planet. They say that energy is the source of everything on Spartia just as it is on earth however because their reality and atmosphere is lighter it is invisible to us (as is much of the oneness from which we come and are part of. They say that we used to think that we needed big rooms to store computer technologies and now we understand the power of the micro-chip (which is crystal) and so we are actually working with crystalline energy more than we realise and we are already aware of the amplification properties and abilities of these living cells. They are however saying that many on earth still think largely in solid form and this is the transcendence of limiting thought that needs to take place at this time. This is why structure is beginning to break down and the natural disasters are proof that what we most need to cherish on earth is not that which is outside of ourselves (external things) but that

which is inside of ourselves.

energy system of their reality – everything, absolutely everything depends on this. And we are to do the same! The Spartians, and one in particular who is called Umbatha (pronounced om bar ta) wants us to understand that as humans we have a great ability to judge and blame everyone else and that this actually blocks our ability to evolve and ascend. He is saying that we seem to think that it is someone else’s responsibility to do this or that and yet when we all take responsibility for ourselves as individuals, we will make huge progress. And this responsibility is to start with our thoughts. He is encouraging us all to take a daily inventory of our thoughts and see how much chaos we are creating by emitting low frequency vibrations. He says to start with our own lives. If we experience lots of negative

much more powerful than the energy of illusion (the shadow). He says that one loving thought will transcend a multitude of negative thoughts. The challenge for us he says is to emit enough loving thoughts. This is where the inventory comes in. He says on average humans emit 80% negative thoughts and consequently low vibrations. Fortunately because those ‘of the light’ both incarnate and in the divine realms who are helping us are capable of emitting such intense high frequency transmissions of love and light, the ratio is not equal to a traditional 80/20 and more like a 20/80. He tells us that we are sitting right on the tipping point and it is shifting but for this shift to take place, we need to experience a break down in the structure of human existence as we have known it in order to embrace the new paradigm. He wants to make it clear that the illusion, dark,

The ascension of our species and planet requires us to transcend the dense physical realm to move into a higher frequency light spectrum reality where energy is understood in a wholly different way. We are the source of all that we are and therefore our destiny lies in our hands and at our feet. Our thoughts are the most important factor in determining our future and when we realise the power of these thoughts we will begin to take responsibility for each and every one of them. They are repeating the destiny of mother earth and her inhabitants (us) lies firmly in the hands of every person incarnated on our beloved planet now. There is certainly assistance from the divine realms – a huge amount of it; however, because the essential element of this experience of earth was the Law of Evolution and the key to us choosing our own destiny, free will, we are now discovering exactly what this means. The earth changes that are taking place are the result of our continued conflict – our internal battle if you like between dark and light. All aspects of existence are from the light – all. Some are presenting as dark or shadow aspects so that we may choose the light (love). Every time we put our thoughts (energy) into the dark or shadow side, we are perpetuating the cycle and recycle of this energy on our planet. And every time we project out thoughts (energy) as light, the love consciousness, we are perpetuating the cycle and recycle of this energy on our planet. The Spartians are saying that if they were to emit low frequency emotions such as we do (our shadow thoughts and manifestations) they would be in a state of complete and utter chaos. Integral to their existence is the energy of God’s light and love which they radiate and perpetuate in cycles for the entire

<< < > >>

circumstances on a personal level, then imagine what this is doing on a planetary level. These negative emotions that are emitted as low vibrations are not just affecting us individually; rather they are extrapolating out into the mass consciousness and affecting all of humanity. What he is saying is that one little thought about us such as I am unhappy or angry or lacking is enough to perpetuate our collective belief of such a reality. He is saying that we underestimate how much effect one little negative thought has on the whole of existence on planet earth. However, he is also saying that when we choose to have loving thoughts such as I am happy, contented and abundant we perpetuate the collective belief of this reality and that the energy of love is so

shadow are all words for the fear consciousness that exists on planet earth and that the fear has become ‘endemic’ here and that this is what each individual and the collective is in the process of transcending. The collective will shift once enough individuals have transcended living in fear to live in the light – to be in alignment with God’s light and love, to be that light and love. He reminds us that we are all sparks of God, living a human existence in many cases in a state of sleeping consciousness. Our essence is love.

The Death of ‘Spiritual Competitiveness’ By Heather Reiss ©Ascension Explorers 2011

The recent Solar and Lunar energy shifts have created yet again another opportunity to truly release that which becomes stirred up during these times. How are you coping and rebalancing during these times of ongoing change? There is no reason to be buffeted around from the balance of who you are. Yet, if you are being thrown off centre then what a wonderful opportunity to see what is being brought up for release, integration and some good old fashioned Loving. If you are new to all of this then maybe you can be comforted by the fact that you are not alone. We are here to assist each other. Aren’t we?? Which brings up an interesting discussion about Spiritual elitism and separation within spiritual, new age, personal empowerment education groups & communities. I have spoken to several people recently about this and there is an agreement that the illusive separation between groups & people who are on the same path is in fact present. That may sound like a contradiction for we all know there is no such thing as separation, technically metaphysically speaking, but how often do we truly release those old time lines and separating beliefs so that we live in the truth of heart community? The time for spiritual competitiveness is over. If we are all here for the journey of ongoing enlightenment for self and mankind then it is time we actually started to show that in all we do, say, think, and are. We may not agree with each other and have differing ways of presenting our truths and services, but now is the time to allow the spiritual community common bonds to be acknowledged to create the link from group to group, community to community, network to network, country to country. Together we are potent beyond belief! You all know that, you have felt the power in the oneness of co creation. Have you not? The time for spiritual voice and connection based on integrity is here. Yes it was always here; but now in these quantum shifts the exposure of anything that is lacking integrity is becoming more noticeable. This does not just refer to our faulty monetary systems; corrupt corporates and Governments this refers to us, all of us. Are you ready to leave behind any outmoded beliefs and imprints that prevent you from opening up further to others who are on this same journey yet may have modalities and teachings that differ from yours? This can be a challenging one. I myself have made a decision to more clearly feel and see the ‘commonalities’, which connect us in heart. Sometimes these commonalities are few seemingly, but once a connection has been made with genuine intent it is

surprising how many of us are actually saying or presenting the same thing albeit through different expressive ways. It is this variation of difference that brings colour to our journeys.

Soul Haven – A Self Catering Retreat Do you fancy waking up to the sound of birds singing? Want to sit on the deck and look out over rolling hills and peaceful countryside? Self Catering Retreats are now available at Helen’s home, Soul Haven. Set amongst some of the most beautiful rural farmland in the Kaipara District, this is the ideal location to escape city life, retreat for some relaxation or recuperation or write that book you have always wanted to write. Whether it’s a few nights, a week or more, there is no better way to relax your mind, calm your spirit and soothe your soul. For more information, contact Helen on helen@kolmysteries.com .

There is no point in parroting, ‘ah but we are all one’, then in the action ignoring a call of good intent from others and creating energetic blocks to authentic heart connections. How many of us are really expanding our heart energy to encompass more of others and ourselves? The heart cavity energy is enormous and in recent guided meditation with Cifehtr, a group of us were encouraged to expand further and further into the compassionate heart. This created an awareness that was of course different for each of us but the knowing of how massive this potential is was almost daunting. Yet as we stretched and moved further in and out of that experience the intensity of the feelings of openness was revealed in the most beautiful of ways. For myself I felt as if my heart cavity could never be filled it was a bottomless well of giving and receiving and felt magnificently infinite (no human words can describe this experience of course).

A Radical Forgiveness Session is a powerful healing process that enables us to shift old hurts, resentments and wounds making way for much love and peace in our lives. It is a transformational process and is particularly beneficial for anyone who….

Dear friends of this community, the awakened community, lets go beyond ‘dogma’, ‘politeness’, feigned ‘oneness’ and ‘illusive separation’ and come to know of the soul essence of ourselves and each other. This allows access to the well of authentic heart. It is here that the truth is always spoken. New Zealand stands ready to lead the way in integrity based heart community. That starts with us.

Whereas ordinary forgiveness supports the theory that in forgiving another, you are letting them off the hook and in some way compromising, Radical Forgiveness involves a total release, through a shift in perception that allows us to see the perfection in the situation from a spiritual point of view.

The Healing Power of Relationships By Shari Rhodes

Intimate relationships provide the opportunity for deep growth and learning. They serve as a mirror of the deeper issues and feelings within us. Growth is accelerated in relationships because they highlight those hidden aspects of ourselves that we are unable to see on our own. The perfect partner isn’t the one we are looking for, but the one we are with right now. Our partner is a reflection of ourselves. Intimate relationships are scripted or predestined to present at a certain time to work through specific life lessons. Many of us have a unique life script or “soul Contract” involving a predestined choreography to be played out with a partner to uncover emotional blockages that inhibit full self-love, understanding and acceptance. There are three possibilities of the prescripted path. Some people are meant to walk alone and work through their lessons independently. Some are destined to have a life partner or series of significant mates, but choose to avoid intimacy or commitment in order to not experience the confrontational emotional material that relationships often bring up. And for many of us, the partner is placed is the front position to reflect and uncover the emotional terrain (the pain, anger, fear, rage, jealously, passion, resentment, defenses, etc) that serve to keep us from embracing our full true self. These “blind spots” are often reflected in what bothers us most about our partners. Sometimes he or she will push at the wall protecting old hurts, the internal places where we feel grief, shame, anger, vulnerability, fear and fragility. At times, we deny our feelings and push against our partner with arguments and conflict to keep that wall in place. Other times, the wall will crack open and we feel unhinged and exposed and want to shut down and hide again. Relationships are a repetitive process of opening and closing, challenging us to feel more fully the whole range of emotions and their corresponding issues and traumas. It sometimes becomes a power struggle between defenses when the vulnerable places have become hit and recognized, placed in full view. It is easy to externalize blame and project all sorts of “crimes and misdemeanors” onto our

partner”. We get angry that the rubbish wasn’t put out, the bills haven’t been paid, we don’t get enough support with the housework or the kids, and she/he doesn’t listen, isn’t emotionally available or doesn’t understand. It becomes all too comfortable to externalize blame outside ourselves and make the other person wrong for not giving us what we want. We want to feel safe and defend against what hurts and doesn’t always want to be seen. We may storm and rage, focus on anything but that which confronts and threatens the fragilities and hurts of the vulnerable inner child who has been hurt in the past. We fight against opening when we don’t trust or feel safe. Relationships can push at us to challenge our sense of ourselves, comfort zones and the protective image of who we think we are. Relationships hit again and again at those contracting walls of self-preservation. However in the protection, we close off and are often left feeling dejected, frustrated and unsatisfied. By objectifying the issue and not looking back at our own relational patterns and behaviors, we lose the opportunity to gain self-awareness about why we shut down. Staying hidden behind our defenses and walls, we stay closed to the deeper connection.

that let us down. For example, if our parents were emotionally unavailable, shut down, critical, abusive, and alcoholic or simply not there, we can internalize that we are unworthy of love and emotional support. We believe we can’t rely on others for support. We may shut down a part of ourselves. We may not feel safe sharing our innermost vulnerability and authentic selves with another. Some of us may feel the need to protect that fragile inner child and try to be strong and independent. Many may not feel safe disclosing the deepest parts of themselves from the old hurts growing up. However traumas are not forgotten, but rather stored in some other place lying dormant until the next emotional trigger causes all the associated feelings to resurface. Often the conclusions we make as children, in response to how our parents treated us, are what we later create in our relationships as adults. By becoming aware of our emotional issues and the unmet needs as a child, we can gain insight about the blind spots (areas where we don’t feel safe to show and express ourselves) and where we are still stuck not receiving the nourishment we want. It is hard to see within ourselves where those blocked areas of development are. If there is a particular trauma from the past such as physical, emotional or sexual abuse, often we get stuck at the time of the occurrence of the trauma which is referred to as a “Frozen Need”. What manifest is a re-creation and re-triggering of the

same emotional response of the wounded child as the adult in the adult relationship. For instance from a past with an alcoholic father who left the child at eight, she may re-create repeat dynamics with emotionally unavailable men dealing with addiction who cant make a commitment. Until the trauma is released and cleared from the body, the old traumas will resurface again and again in relationship. If the issue is not dealt with in one relationship, the same issue will present in the next and continue to repeat itself until resolved. Models for relationships and abusive scenarios are carried down through the family lineage. We learn old behavioral patterns that have been repeating themselves through generations. It is quite common for patterns of discipline or abuse to be repeated down the geological line. The abused child then becomes the abusive parent, the alcoholic father becomes the alcoholic son or our parents were shut down so the children become shut down and on it goes. The cycle continues. We observe our parents style of relating and model their behavior as our own also carrying the values down the line. However we have the opportunity with self- awareness to change those patterns and instilled family dynamics, thus breaking the cycle of learned behavior. We can discover healthier ways of relating. It is important to recognize our partner’s behavior and the feelings that come up. We can learn about ourselves from the reflection.

Many of us carry unintegrated emotional traumas that are stored on a cellular and physical level. We learn about relationship and what we think we are entitled to by modeling what we learned as children growing up. For some of us, growing up was a delight, a series of fond memories filled with encouragement and fun. With the validation and nurture of healthy and high functioning parents, they have been able to build self-esteem and thereby create nurturing relationships that don’t push so hard at the inner wounds. These types of relationships tend to flow easier, are emotionally lighter, have clearer communication and don’t require as much conflict to resolve issues. However for many of us, our childhoods were not so clear cut or easy. Many of us had to face some kind of difficulty or disappointment

<< < > >>

Unless we choose to take responsibility for our choices and what manifest on our life screen, we will remain stuck in old repetitive patterns and not grow. We can only heal the past through honest selfreflection by taking full responsibility for the creation of the interactive dynamics that have been set up. By being willing to face ourselves squarely in the mirror, owning our own creations, we can then look at our behavior and make another choice. We don’t have to accept the reflection of our old wounded selves or limited relationships that don’t nourish all of who we are. Some people recognize that the relationship isn’t working, but choose to over stay because they are afraid of being alone, losing the financial or emotional security of their partner being there or they don’t have the resources, knowledge or confidence to feel they can make it on their own. Many don’t believe there is anything else or better. The relationship, even if it’s abusive, is all they know and they don’t know how to move on. Many people get stuck and don’t know a way through. However reaching out for the right support such as talking to a counselor, clergy or friend, it is possible to make a stand and choose to let go of the past and re-create anew. We can move past the old patterns and not allow relationships in that no longer serve our highest growth. We can make healthier choices and perhaps say no the next time an abusive or nonsupportive potential mate comes along. By being conscious of our patterns and learning to love ourselves more fully, we can choose higher functioning relationship that fills more of our needs. We block the fullness of intimacy by not feeling deserving or worthy of having the whole lot. Some of us fear that if we were really seen in our secret vulnerable place that maybe he/she won’t love me, or think we are intelligent, sexy or good enough. We all have fears, blocks and resistances and push against claiming life’s full abundance. Many men and women deal with self-esteem and body image issue and don’t feel attractive, sexy or safe opening fully sexually. Many people shut down their natural instinctive sexual responses for fear of being rejected, making too much noice or not being good enough to be fully loved up just as they are. Many don’t feel safe opening. They may not trust and manifest blockages in their bodies to shut down. However it is everyone’s birthright to feel fully loved. Intimacy provides the opportunity to go deeper into ourselves and share our vulnerability and secrets with another, to let go and allow the spontaneous outpouring of ourselves. We don’t give ourselves permission let our passions out and experience ecstasy. Many of us learn values from our families, teachers,

culture, media and religion that it is not ok to claim our voice and make noise, that it is taboo, wrong, selfish, dirty, not adult or dangerous to loose control and have our authentic selves be fully seen by another. Many of us shy away, sabotage the relationship, put on weight, yell at our partners and create all kinds of reasons why it’s not ok to let it all out, open, spark, and come out to play. It is a risk and takes great courage to be naked, not only in body, but with all of our emotions, to share ourselves, our anger, agony, joy, passion, sadness, laugher and to let our true voice out. It takes trust to make sound and express the bestial, wilder and decadent parts of ourselves, to be fully touched, witnessed and seen. It can be frightening to open our skin in front of another and allow ourselves to be held with no image, protection or defense. However this is a vital part of life to be able to open and share fully and authentically with another, to be present, naked and open in the moment giving our beloved permission to see and reflect back the mirror of our true selves, to witness the unseen aspects of our inner selves. It’s about exposing raw emotion and being ok. Ways to enhance intimacy in partnership include tantra sexuality, massage, yoga, meditation, creativity, couples and personal counseling, workshops, nature walks, traveling, going out on dates, self help books for couples, holding each other, quality time and open communication. Making the choice to share your innermost secrets and feelings with your partner can deepen the connection and heal of hurts that have stayed locked inside for too long.

than the goal itself. The challenge is accepting this and learning to be ok with the hard stuff, recognizing that too is part of the process of learning more about ourselves. Challenging circumstances push and pull at us and can throw us off-centre, but by choosing to become conscious and stand back as a witness to what’s happening rather than losing ourselves in the drama, we can gain greater perspective and clarity as to how to move through. The truth is - life isn’t perfect. Relationships aren’t perfect. We are not perfect. Couples need to communicate and work together to ride the turbulent waves of life. It is our birthright to celebrate our magnificent selves and fully express all of who we are in our relationships. Healing is about integrating all aspects of ourselves and allowing full expression. Many of us feel more comfortable showing certain parts of ourselves like our strong self-sufficient and independent side over vulnerability and emotion. However it’s important to allow the spontaneous flow of expression naturally with no barriers or control, trusting all parts of ourselves and celebrating all of who we are. It’s about forgiving ourselves for our experiences or choices in the past recognizing that we are human. Life is only a game, a series of experiences for our growth

and learning. There are no mistakes. It’s ok to forgive ourselves. We are all doing the best we can. At the end of the day, it’s about putting the past stories down and living our life as fully as we can, letting go of the self-beat up. It’s about seeing the beautiful soul that we are, loving ourselves and recognizing that we are deeply loved and loveable just as we are and that is enough.

Even though the romantic fantasy picture of finding the “white knight in shining armor” and having the perfect relationship sounds wonderful, the reality of relationships is that they can be hard work. Though they have many wonderful bits, often they involve moving from one challenge to the next and working through points of tension and conflict. Life challenges present where there is unexpected redundancy and the mortgage has to be paid, a child or partner gets ill or disabled, there’s a death in the family, the car breaks down, hormones change, an accident happens, the unexpected crisis occurs and stress is triggered. Life can be unpredictable and precarious at best. We never know what is going to happen around the bend. These life challenges can create havoc in relationship placing even more stress on holding the intimate connection together. Yet somehow we must go on. It is not easy. Sometimes we are pushed to our limits. However as difficult as life challenges can be sometimes, circumstances provide the opportunity of deepening spiritually and discovering our own internal strength, tenacity and courage.

Your Calling

By Melissa Bult

We all have a calling in life and it is part of our life purpose to find and follow your calling. When I say to find your calling, it is not somewhere ‘out there’ it is inside of you and to find it you must first go within. Many people feel they have been searching forever to find their calling, to know what they are meant to do and find that holy grail of happiness that comes with it. I think part of the problem is that we tend to over complicate things and so we make it much harder than it needs to be. To start with, following your calling means being yourself. Knowing who you are and letting that shine through because you came into this life with the right talents, personality and background to contribute to your calling. We can also attach too many ideas to what our calling might be and go about trying to box it into a ‘career’. Sometimes our calling and our careers will align and sometimes they won’t. In my experience the more you follow your calling the more you attract opportunities to follow it further and create the chance to make a career out of it. When you follow your calling it lights you up and you know you are doing exactly what you are meant to be doing. There is a sense of joy and naturalness involved. A calling is not something that requires fame, fortune, fancy labels, world altering contributions or ego satisfaction. Sometimes these will come as part of the package but they are not the ways to measure whether you are following a true calling or not. We all have something to say, something to share, something to offer the world, otherwise we would not

be here. Each of us has a stage or a platform with which to share our message and it doesn’t matter what kind of stage it is, as long as we go about being ourselves. Your stage might be with your family or friends, your community or the whole world. It might be your calling to be a parent, a loving family member, a trusted friend, a student, a teacher, a great listener, someone that lights up a room, someone that creates laughter, a fun person, a networker, the person who always extends a hand or a hug when needed or a volunteer. There are endless possibilities.

The Enemy Within By Henare O’Brien

“I had the unease growing inside me. It crept up on me as i grew older and appeared as depression, anxiety, violence and a host of internal conflicts that played out in an external way” I was sitting on a beach at 26 believing that life was great. Externally I was getting paid to play a sport. I had many friends and more money than I could spend. My bank account was filling up and I had a house and car given for use as a motivational speaker and sports facilitator in schools. I was traveling around the country and was partying on the weekends. Life to me seemed perfect. I knew my life was amazing but as I sat on the beach alone I started to feel a familiar heat in my chest. It first appeared at 19 when I had driven home from Auckland. I had held mental concentration, when driving back to Hawkes Bay, for 6 hours and at the end of the journey I sat. In that still space an invisible weight appeared on my chest. It felt like I had 20Kg’s strapped to me and I couldn’t get it off. For the next three days I couldn’t stay still. I tossed and turned in my bed and felt the need to be away from myself. The impossible task of getting away stayed as this internal weight sat on and within me. I remember thinking that I wouldn’t want my worst enemy to have this. After the third day I slowly started to lose faith in myself. My saving grace was the feeling dissipated on the third day. In my youthful speed I moved on quickly. I didn’t know that this was an internal signal that all wasn’t well. Holding concentration, for me, was always moving. I was always on the go. I could never sit still and was known for my movement. I justified it as being an active person. The key was when I did stop externally internally I was still moving. I had always kept up with the internal dialogue moving at pace in my head. I never consciously heard it but it was moving at speed, daily telling me quietly what to do, where to go and who to be. When I stopped externally at 19 I didn’t understand that the internal dialogue was still on. I couldn’t understand at the time because I relied on what I could see smell taste and hear. What I could feel was unreliable unless it was external pleasure

or physical pain. The weight and heat on my chest was an unexplainable phenomenon. I didn’t have the knowledge to understand it. I was young and didn’t care to know. My worst enemy was the internal conflict that I was having. I commonly exploded with verbal anger and expletives after holding it all in. I had become my own worst enemy and the external enemies I could see weren’t the ones hurting from the inside. I was six foot two; tall, strong, athletic and well-liked by others. This was my perception of myself but on the inside I felt insecure and afraid. My internal dialogue always confirmed the negative and rubbished any positive comments. When someone would tell me I was a great at basketball I would lower my guard and say “No, I just train a lot”. Inside I didn’t believe anything that anyone told me unless it was tied into my worth and inside I felt worthless. I may have heard 10 positives comments and responded to the one negative. I was constantly looking out for confirmation of my worth tied into the opinions and actions of others. I had other esteem and would be in a constant state of reaction. If the weather wasn’t fine I would feel down, when someone looked at me with a smirk I would make it mean I wasn’t good enough. This was all going on in the background of my mind and if someone had told me this was happening I would have thought they were crazy.

Relying on my 5 senses had got me a degree, women, money, hard body and a fearsome reputation in the world and I trusted what I could see or what could be explained. As the years went by I started experiencing this heat and confusion more and more. The more I relied on alcohol, women, money, sport and other external accomplishments and pleasures the more the chest heat and weight came back. In my late 20’s I had to leave parties as I lost my ability to breathe and found myself bend over in the winters air trying to draw in more oxygen. With the frequency of this events and my growing age fear stared creeping in. Or, more accurately, fear started surfacing in my everyday life. I would guard myself with harsh words spoken or held in emotions to make others suffer but inside I was suffering and what was inside came out through increased tension, headaches, migraines, sickness and violence. It started as a realization that something wasn’t working. I would walk around during the day with a tough exterior and quickness of tongue and at nights would sprint from my bed to the bathroom with the hairs sticking up on the back of my neck in fear. The dark secretly terrified me and racing back to the covers of my bed represented safety. I couldn’t explain it but the feelings of loneliness and fear of not being loved crept in. I constantly measured

myself on the appreciation and love of others. I could hear inside “do they love me?” It repeated many times over each day and I would externally look for that love through the things I had known. They loved me for my sport then I was cut from the team for fighting. My friends love me for the women but when I entered into a relationship they didn’t want to hang out as much. They loved me for my speed of body and mind but when I stopped I had little to say. The conversations stayed at sex, sports and the shitty weather. My love for myself was nonexistent and I didn’t even know. It was the heat and weight that I could feel and this was the signal of pain. I didn’t like it and it became the love of being loved that grew as discontent inside. I had to find my own love because without it I didn’t know who I was. The journey had begun and I was up for a life without the fear. I sat on that beach and in the alone still quiet space heard inside “I have nothing”. I slowly realized that if I didn’t have the women, cars, house, and love of others I didn’t know who I was. It was like being hit by a lightning bolt. I had relied on everything outside myself to find and know myself but if they all disappeared then who was I? A big part me would go when they left too. Over the years I had money problems, women left, and family squabbles which confirmed the internal dialogue of aloneness. I started to notice that slow music irritated

“There is no way to Happiness, Happiness is the way” Tao

The crazy was there and as the years rolled on as my reactions to my internal worth and thoughts grew to be external anger and frustration with simple things. I would lose my keys and the house would stand still in anticipation of my explosive outbursts. I just didn’t know. It was out of my vision. It was intangible so I couldn’t trust it. I wasn’t aware of the internal. I only became aware with the physical manifestation of it as intense pain, fear or loneliness. On reflection this was a sign of the internal conflict I was experiencing.

<< < > >>

me and if people weren’t moving at my pace or didn’t have the same influence or status, I had made up as a perception in my head, I wouldn’t be around them. I was at the effect of everything and the internal signals were showing me this through internal discontent. I couldn’t get away from me, like I could for the external things, because it was inside me. At 26 I realized that all I knew and believed to be me maybe wasn’t working. Depression, anxiety, and the outbursts of violence were all internally and externally growing more frequent and I couldn’t look away anymore. All the pleasures were keeping me safe inside my comfort zone. I thought I was constantly doing new things but I was doing old habits in different ways again and again and again. In this moment I felt vulnerable and alone. This was the start. These were the parts to heal in me. I didn’t know where to start but I had started by finally stopping. It was the quiet space that gave me the time to see what I thought had been working but hadn’t. I started writing down everything that I thought and noticed the difference with where I intended to be and the inner conflict. I went to counseling. I started reading. I opened up to people that had an idea of who they were. I started applying techniques learnt in books and courses. This was over a 5 year period. I started at a pace I could handle. It was scary to look at my life and be truly honest at where I was at. I started taking my basketball skills practice and applying that training to the inner training I required. I applied the 10,000 mastery concept. I bounced a basketball over a million times in my life and had a high degree of skill. I choose to apply this 10,000 times mastery to the inner growth practicing daily affirmations; being real with myself; seeing where I was at and looking at addictions and old habits with understanding rather than judgment. I practiced when I was alone and with friends. I talked about things and wrote down what was really happening inside. I questioned old habits and patterns. I went easy on myself when I slipped and started changing my internal dialogue. I went through different phases of anger, internal physical pain, intense fear and realized that through it all I was ok. It was the projection of my mind that said “you won’t be ok” and I sat with it. At times it felt like someone was holding a gun to my head but it wasn’t real or true. It was in my head. Today, nearly 10 years later, I have continued to work on areas that don’t serve me. At times I slip and I

get up and move on. Now, I work with life instead of resisting it. I have changed from the inside out and have created some wonderful things in my life. I have created community projects which connect communities. I speak to groups about the inner path to healing. I have, and continue to, motivate others into action by facilitating growth in themselves. I formed a group where people could come and be inspired about who they are. I have recently come back from Europe traveling with teachers who have influenced the world with their insights. I am traveling to the USA to meet with an expert trainer to create a transformational facilitation business and I am finishing a book on the in-depth processes that I found to heal myself. It is a great detailed book on moving through addictions, hate, self-loathing, fear and moving towards love. In my heart I continue to heal and grow. I have a wonderful marriage and two beautiful children and they are my greatest teachers. They show me that I still have work to do. I hold, kiss, love them and I slip up less often. I express anger when it comes up and show my children how to let go and not hold any thoughts, feelings and frustrations in. We are meant to express in a way that doesn’t hurt ourselves and others. It needs to come out and I model that to people I come into contact with. I model love and now see that I am love. I have found it is greater to speak about what I know and have experienced. I have had depression, anxiety. I have had bulimia and sex addictions. I have been violent. I have been abusive. I have worked through and continue to work through parts of myself that show up. I grow towards continued integrity and full self-expression. I know my children will have their own journey and they have helped me get better on mine. My wife still pushes some buttons inside me that activate old habits and now I realize that she and my children are my greatest gifts for I get to grow by them being here. I have changed the context in fighting them to listening to them, most of the time, and what they show me is what I work on inside. I know you are doing the best you can with what you know. Open up a little each day to knowing something new. You can do it…believe in you. You are never alone. You are life’s greatest gift and you have everything inside you that you need for this journey. You are getting to know who you are and the true potential you have. I know you and I love you.

Does Anything Happen By Accident? By Marcus Taylor

This is the story of my journey of self healing... Fourteen years ago I sustained catastrophic injuries to my spine from a diving accident that left me a quadriplegic. To see me now, walking and functioning like anyone else, is nothing short of miraculous. This is the story of how I overcame that calamity over a period of time, including two years intensive work with Abraham being attuned to vibration and frequency for healing. Up until the accident, my life as a designer/artist was set for growth and success. The trauma of the accident totally destroyed all my plans. My spine was severely damaged with multiple fractures, including one vertebra that was completely split open and extensive nerve damage. I spent horrific time in traction, unable even to speak. My life had suddenly shifted from the sublime to the ridiculous. Little did I know that the real work was only beginning. It has taken all the determination and effort I used to build my career and more to survive and recover from this ordeal. However the experience of what occurred immediately after the impact was spectacular in itself. The last thing I remember was a sound like smashing cymbals and my life did indeed ‘flash before my eyes.’ From my unconscious state, I could see myself leaving my body. Unable to resist, I floated gently and contentedly, totally entranced by the tunnel of light that was engulfing me. I thought to myself 'Heaven awaits, such bliss!' Suddenly I was awakened by a voice that commanded me in no uncertain terms – 'Get back in your body! Get back in your body NOW!' The voice was issuing me an ultimatum and I had to make the critical choice between life and death. The whole experience was totally surreal. It was like having to swim against the tide, the pull towards heaven was so strong. It felt like a jet plane coming in to land and having to thrust into reverse to halt that forward momentum. The energy it took to turn back

and re-enter my body required an enormous force of will. Over the ensuing years I have discovered many therapies including kinesiology and acupuncture, all of which have worked to varying degrees. The accident was the catalyst, however, that was necessary to make me love myself – because that love was what it took for me to heal. Nothing else would have worked at that point. This is my story of self-healing and I want to now share what I have learned in order to help others. They say nothing happens by accident. With these life-changing discoveries came an ambitious dream – to establish a healing practice to pass on what I have learned. Through my extensive research, I came across the work of Dr Hulda Clark, a Canadian biophysicist who specialised in cell physiology. It was her applied theories that were also the turning point in my recovery. Her book* 'The Cure For All Diseases' describes her electronic technique for scanning the human body which subsequently led her to the causes of many diseases and potential treatment regimes. She puts these conclusions to the reader with documented case histories and practical modalities.

is inherently connected with the mind and emotions. This means it is necessary not only to heal the physical body but also the mental, emotional and spiritual bodies – which everyone has. The healing cut straight to the source of my disharmony and lifted the layers of action/reaction that caused me to manifest the original event. In this process we focus on the energetic level and consciously release the energy, sending it back into light. The physiological conflict is often immediately released and resolved. The illusion of time and space dissolves in a deeper state of consciousness, and a great healing occurs in which Divine forces are activated and speed up the healing process tenfold. This was the most profound discovery in my entire journey of Self-Healing. I began an unrelenting two year intensive with Abraham. It has not been an easy process. The purpose was not only to attain a state of well-being, but also to prepare me to become an Energetic Healer as well. The extent of my personal preparation, the process and depth of purification, is

unique to this modality of Energy Healing. I have now reached a degree of happiness and satisfaction in my life which I have never experienced before. I feel now that my purpose in life is to facilitate positive change to the lives of people who come to me for healing, to help bring them back into a state of positivity. This Revolutionary Style of Healing will bring to those who come to it an even greater understanding of the healing process, the purpose of life and the untapped potential we all hold within. Ultimately its purpose is to assist us to fully be our self and to understand what it truly is to be a human being. If people can be brought to this knowledge of themselves, they will then be able to understand each other. This, of course, will have wider repercussions in the community and will bring about understanding between communities of the world – of paramount importance if our planet and we are to survive. www.marcusart.com.au

“As far as we can discern, the whole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.” Carl Jung

After six years of research into both conventional and alternative treatments, the quality of my life had deteriorated to such an extent that I needed, once again, to make that conscious decision to live and move forward. My life had become a daily battle with excruciating pain which pushed me to a mental breakdown. Much prayer and meditation for direction followed and I was soon to meet a new friend who introduced me to an Energetic Healer. The effects were immediate. The healing I received from the hands of the Energetic Healer literally rebuilt my spine – extraordinary and unbelievable as that may sound. The human body

Cosmo the puppy’s beautiful message

Clairvoyant; Transformation Facilitator; Teacher

By Faye Rogers, Animal Communicator

What human parents can learn from their children... Little puppy Cosmo had badly injured his neck and was undergoing veterinary treatment. Cosmo’s family asked if I could communicate with Cosmo to see how he was doing and if he had any messages for his family. Cosmo shared messages on his well-being, both emotional and physical, with beautiful messages for his family and then went on to share his insights on what he felt human parents could learn from their children……. Part of Cosmo’s message is below... Enjoy. Cosmo’s beautiful message: “I am joy, I am greatly enjoying myself. I am not letting one opportunity go by. I am grabbing every opportunity that comes my way. I live with passion and joy – this is such an important message that people can learn from animals. I would like this opportunity to share insights on human families. People have children – who is the teacher? Is it the adult or is it the child? Maybe a bit of both. A parent is actually learning from the child - do think on this……… parents learn from their children, they learn about themselves, they learn about loving another, and they learn strength. The child teaches the parent to dig deeper. Parents give guidance and support to the child and the child learns from the parent. Some children in time will become parents - life goes full circle doesn’t it! Parents - you deal with a child maybe how your parents dealt with you, and you realise this isn’t right, it is a habit and when you realise there is a better way you break that cycle as it allows the child their own creativity of self. A child learns how to grab attention, how to manipulate situations to their own well-being, and this is survival isn’t it! One mustn’t see children as manipulative but see that as a species you humans have survival etched on yourself and this is the same for a puppy. Don’t I know how to command what I

“Change your thoughts and follow a new path”

need – well some of the time ‘mustn’t spoil the puppy too much’. I am really spoilt and I deserve it so why not children? Why not let your children be as spoilt as I am!

You humans do not spoil yourself enough – you adults limit yourself due to upbringing and that is because you are bought up with feelings of not deserving, or if you want something you might be told that is selfish. Parents you have to explore with your children, explore situations. When parents cannot provide they should be saying something practical and logical like “We cannot get this today but we will aim to get it soon” that’s what all parents should do but you see they don’t because of their own upbringing.

our Soul has messages that it wants you to hear. Issues and questions about relationships, family, finances, career and your life path can benefit from the input from the other side and help to give clarity. Let me connect you with their messages and the wisdom of their insight. Because we have lots of different things going on in our heads, their advice can help ease your burden and redefine your path. They know what you need to hear.

I bring my many years of experience with co-ordinating, implementing Transformation Workshops

This is the difference between myself and a human because I know my neck is damaged I haven’t limited myself have I – sure I have taken some precautions, know when to sleep, know when to rest, know that I have done enough and hopefully I become better but I do not limit the quality of my life and that is the difference. I do not put up barriers and say because I have been injured that I must be sad, that I must be greatly troubled, that I must be worried about my fate – no I haven’t ever done this and I feel this is an important message that I do carry due to I carry energy of opportunity on myself.”

and facilitating events and projects to the ‘Life Patterns’ workshops. Including tools like chakra and energy work, these workshops are designed to help you understand your patterns and the blocks they have formed, to remove what no longer serves you and elevate you to live the life you were born to live. We are often unable to unearth and remove these blocks without help, but once we do we take off in ways that opens the world for us. Look forward to gaining more clarity in identifying your patterns, so you can move on from them with confidence. Workshops are small and private, where you can be seen, heard and acknowledged in safety.

The Domino Effect Rubix Alignment with Karen Wills

“The hip bones connected to the thigh bone” “The thigh bones connected to the knee bone” “The knee bones connected to the shin bone”… And so it is the domino effect of moving parts. How can we keep our bones healthy, solid and strong? Let’s take a moment to appreciate our solid foundation. Bone nutrition is usually un-thought of by many. The forgotten metacarpals (The finger bones) are the hardest workers of all the bones. Seriously stop for a moment to reflect on their job. How often do you stop to massage your hands? Try it by rubbing oil in for awhile. You’ll love it, and they deserve it. Where would we be without our metacarpals? (Peanut oil is wonderful for removing aches and pains. Of course do not attempt this if you are allergic to peanuts!). Multivitamins are lacking in our diet, even though they are readily available. It is hard to find a suitable vitamin that our body can easily absorb. Sadly many synthetic vitamins are merely passed through with little absorption. If our diets are lacking in the nutrition and water our organs need they will steel them from our unappreciated bones and cartilage, raping them of their nutritional value the organs need to survive. Exercise is a wonderful way to contribute to healthy bones. As I have been working with the human skeleton for years now, I often hear about the aches, pains and strains in all ages from 4 months up to 89years. From sore feet, knees, hips, spine, neck, jaw, fingers, wrists, elbows, locked shoulders. From headaches to tennis elbow to carpal tunnel to having trouble to conceive a baby. The list just goes on. Would you believe that all of this can be the result of just two very important and miss-understood bones: Our Hips.

Our hips are ball joints and as moving parts dislodge slightly which I call this going out. This creates jamming nerves and blood vessels and so it is the domino effect of disarranged moving parts begins. Jamming the nerves and blood vessels that feed our legs, knees and feet create achy hips, knees and even pins and needles in our feet. With your hips not seated in the correct position we end up with uneven length limbs and thus creating our top part of our Skeleton to go out of alignment. Once the bones and muscular body cell memory are adjusted the hips can hold into place and the body can have a new lease of life. And so it is the domino effect of healthy corrected moving parts. I do Rubix Alignment, which corrects this alignment by pushing and pulling your bones into place gently, no cracking!. I recommend a course of 4 visits. I have received a 72 year old lady’s feedback to me from her 4 visits: she can now get out of bed and stretch again, after many years of not being able too, makes this not work, but pleasure.

“Maintaining a complicated life is a great way to avoid changing it.” Elaine St. James << < > >>

Being an Effective Parent Isn’t a Matter of Luck By Lisa Gibson

Parenthood need not be a difficult and demanding experience that brings problems and anxiety. In a survey by parent trainer Dr. Harold Minden he found that 69% of the satisfied parents said they would enrol in a parent training course, but only 37% of frustrated and negative parents said they would do so. It appeared they did not recognise the need for assistance in parenting. Those parents typically think that how kids turn out is a matter of luck. Many of them rely on the same method of raising children and dealing with problems in their families that were used by their parents even though they know these methods don’t work. I am a parent trainer with the NZ Peace Foundation and we know without a doubt that parents who take training and learn how to create democratic, nonauthoritarian relationships with both their spouses and their children will build happy marriages and create a new species of children. Here are some of the characteristics of this new species:

Orange Calcite - the Gift of Transformation By Debbie Gillespie from BodyMind Balance

There are few life events which could compare to becoming a parent in terms of both challenges and possibilities for great joy and life-satisfaction… Raising children in the 21st Century is completely different to 50 years ago. We live in an increasingly democratic society in which traditional methods of child rearing are seen by society as being “out of step”. Physical punishment of children is illegal in many countries and parents are raising their children without resorting to the violent methods that their own parents and grandparents used routinely. Parents are now re-inventing what it means to “parent” without any guidance from their own memories or from their family.

Soul Heart Crystal Essence

•

They treat their friends the way they have been treated at home-they are good listeners, good counsellors, good at expressing themselves, good at solving problems and good at resolving conflicts with others.

Orange Calcite is part of the Calcite family renowned for their gentle but powerful work. Orange Calcite is a gorgeous sunny orange stone that has an association with the sacral chakra – the chakra that is associated to relationships, emotions, passion, creativity and flow. The Soul Heart Crystal Essence of Orange Calcite gifts change and is a stone of transformation as it helps us shed the old and open the way to the new especially energetically.

•

They are mature for their age, fun-loving and playful.

It also shifts energy around and moves stagnant energy that may be holding us back. It moves the bits of us that are stuck. This gem is particularly helpful when making resolutions, changes and vows as it helps your energy structures allow the new way of being.

•

They have less need to be dependant on other people-yet they make friends easily

Orange Calcite Soul Heart Essence can be used when:

•

They have a high degree of self-acceptanceaccepting the way they are, yet this somehow frees them to change and improve themselves.

•

They are very sensitive to all forms of unfairness they see in the world.

•

They are more individualistic and less afraid of what other people will say.

• Wanting to anchor in energetically new resolutions, changes or vows • Feeling stuck, either emotionally or physically • Wanting to shed the old • Wanting to balance the sacral chakra • Going through change and transformation

•

They get their own needs met yet are sensitive to all forms of unfairness they see in the world

Raising children who develop these characteristics takes time and commitment. There’s no quick way to do it. Parents who take the time to understand and then put what they learn into practice are richly rewarded, usually far beyond their hopes and expectations.

BEYOND OUR BELIEFS is presence, knowingness & freedom By Tony Minervino

We live in very exciting and tumultuous times. Never in our history has everything we believe about ourselves, our world and the very nature of reality been called into question, and the questions are as haunting as they are intriguing: Who are we really? Where are we from? Why are we here? Where are we going? What’s our true purpose? What’s going on? What’s this all about anyway? What is the meaning of life? Are any of these questions familiar? Are you often curious? Are you sometimes perplexed? Are you sometimes terrified? And, where do we go for answers? Religions keep giving us the same simplistic answers, based on stories that just don’t stand up to reason and scholarly research. Many of us have doubts about those traditional answers that are beyond the range of human experience, based on assumptions that cannot be verified – we are literally asked just to believe, have faith. Science keeps changing the answers before we’re even comfortable with the last bunch of answers. Besides, most of their theories about our reality are based on the assumption that this is the only place in the universe where there is life. Think about it for a moment. We live on a planet that is, by our best guess, about 4.5 billion years old, and we don’t know a whole lot about what’s really been going on before about 6000 years ago. In fact, our knowledge of even the past 2000 years is pretty shaky. We’ve been fed this story about cave men and progress and evolution, which is all based on an assumption. Isn’t it possible that all of life here, including us, was brought here by beings so advanced that we have mistaken them for gods – or even God? Since the portion of the universe we’ve been able

to study with our advanced technology is, by best guess, about 14-16 billion years old, isn’t it likely that life began somewhere else, before it began here? If this is the case, the theory that life was actually brought here by more advanced beings actually holds up better to reason than the official story that many of us have bought into. This certainly explains why Chinese people look Chinese, and Europeans look European and Africans look African and so on. This is a much more plausible story than the one we were given in primary school – you know, because we grew up in different countries we look different. As an 8-year-old in 3rd grade, I offered the explanation that we looked different because we were from different planets with different suns and very different environments. It didn’t go over very well, but it still made sense to me, at least as a theory. And, I have some experiences to back it up. Perhaps the most courageous and productive step we can make towards beginning to get some useful answers to these haunting and vital questions is to decide to put aside everything we have ever been told about the way things are, to decide to validate our own knowingness, to base everything we know on our own experience, and base all our theories on our own intuition – this is the path of mastery. Knowledge does not come from books, lectures, or stories – that’s called information. Knowledge comes only from experience. We’ve been taught that knowledge is power, but knowledge is not power – knowingness is power. Knowledge is based on past experience, the

<< < > >>

perception of which is also influenced by our beliefs, and is only useful to the degree that something is happening in the present that is similar to something we’ve experienced in the past, about which we’ve gained some understanding. To the degree that what is happening now is different, our knowledge is useless. When we are fully present and aware, we have knowingness. We are truly present to everything around us and we inherently know how to dance with it – this is the dance of life. Beliefs are not knowledge. They are not based on experience. Developmental psychologists claim a person learns 84% of everything they will ever know before the age of two. I don’t know how accurate this figure is, but it is very likely that we install the majority of our beliefs at a very young age. And where do we get these beliefs? From everyone around us who is bigger, stronger, and more capable of surviving than we are. And where did they get their beliefs about ‘the way it is?’ From the bigger, stronger people that were around them. We can see how this can eventuate in concepts of reality being passed along from one generation to another, perpetuating a distorted, clouded view of what is, of what’s possible. There is no such thing as ‘the way it is.’ There is only how we perceive it to be – perceptions based on beliefs. Not experience, not knowledge – beliefs.

We are one. The illusion that we are separate and not an integral part of a seamless whole living being is just that – an illusion. And, as long as we persist in experiencing this illusion we will have sickness, disease, war, famine, ignorance, corruption, confrontation, questions and no real answers. No doubt there is advantage in transforming our so-called negative, limiting beliefs to positive, empowering beliefs. But, as long as we operate out of beliefs, we will perceive everything and everyone around us through the filter of those beliefs – this precludes being present; this precludes knowingness; this precludes certainty; this precludes healing and wholeness; this precludes answering those haunting and intriguing questions. As long as we have any judgment that there is any place better than ‘here’ or any time better than ‘now’, we are locked into the frequency of third density, and third density is fear based. Beyond beliefs is presence – knowingness – freedom. Is it time to be free? The Healing Business is an empowering transformational and healing experience created by Dr Tony Minervino D.C., Doctor of Chiropractic, B.S., Psychology, Cert. Neuro-Linguistics.

We do not even truly perceive what is around us. We only perceive the reality in which we are in the center. We are only always perceiving who we are being, reflected back to us from everything and everyone around us. In fact, there is no-one in our reality except us. Everything and everyone that we perceive is an aspect of ourselves that we are ready to experience. We are only, always exploring and experiencing ourselves. That’s a very good reason to be nice to one another, and treat everything and everyone with love and respect.

All beliefs anchor us in the past, because it is at some time in the past that they were installed. Consequently, as long as we are operating out of our beliefs, we are referencing the past and not present in the now. Beliefs preclude knowingness. Beliefs separate us from healing and wholeness, from love, and from everything and everyone around us.

Introducing the Global GOoDness Project By Biljana Knaap

Congratulations, we did it! We are leaving the 5th dimensional life. The critical mass for our human race consciousness shift has been reached. Here we are living the dream, awaiting the 11:11:11 synchronicity threshold opening, which will further realign the mass consciousness with the ‘ripple’ effect. Now the game has evolved. Now is the time to firmly ‘hold on’ to the new paradigms and introduce the protocols for a new way of life - from health and wellness, to nutrition, relationships, abundance, economy, politics & science. In the next 18 months we will witness incredible a ‘visible’ appearance of the changes and we are all need to be strong and healthy in the body, pure in the heart, decisive in the mind and constantly fully consciously aligned with the divine self. No more wavering, procrastinating or doubting. All is good; actually it is GREAT! However in this time be careful with your thoughts as they manifest instantly. It is the time for the heart to learn and the mind to unlearn. Here is some further guidance as to how and what is next; where the light work and light workers go from here. It is my pleasure and privilege to share with you the abundant guidance and directions given by the divine intelligence, sharpening our ‘tools’ and initiating new projects. We are past the times of awakening and quickening and now the integration is occurring. We have all served diligently by initiating waking up and the awakening times, assisting with the ascension process and symptoms during quickening. It is time now to step into the leadership roles in the integration times. Recently I came across these beautiful words by AYI JWEI ARMAH: Remember this: Against all that destruction,

Some yet remained among us Unforgetful of origins, Dreaming secret dreams, Seeing secret visions, Hearing secret voices Of our purpose. It made me proud and happy beyond measure to be one of these light workers. I remember from early childhood the ‘knowledge’ that I carried within and how strange the outer world appeared. I was able to see auras and send light balls to people that looked ‘dark’ until they looked like a Christmas tree! I ‘knew’ somehow what was coming next, surprising my family members often and had that very clear ‘voice’ that was talking in ‘my head’ giving me loving and wise instructions. However I often felt very strong and emotional reaction to the outer world, which appeared to be full of horrible and unacceptable events. There were lots of tears and frustration over the state of this place (planet earth). I remember clearly one day when I was around 12 years old I was reading a book about the second World War where some truly horrible events were described, and I felt this wave of sadness, anger & frustration coming over me. I threw the book and screamed in the empty room “how can God allow any of this”? And I started sobbing uncontrollably. Then the most magical thing happened - I felt this ‘energy’ coming over me that can only be described as pure love. I was enveloped in the comforting cloud of softness, gentleness amazing wellbeing and I was told that all was well. I often call this moment ‘my own mini enlightenment’. The next moment I was crying different tears, ones of Joy. Yelling in the empty room

<< < > >>

“you are here, you exist!” If somebody saw this 12 year old in such a state they would have thought that I had ‘lost it’, but I knew I had actually ‘found it’! That was my full conscious knowing and experience of God. My mission since has been to help everyone find it and live it. I have changed since that moment, I saw everything differently, became aware of my life purpose, actively alive, all doors started opening and I am following that guidance ever since. And now we are starting to live it collectively! My path involved appreciation for modern science and esoterics from the past. I have completed a University degree in Medical Science - (Department of Pharmacy), a full Diploma in Naturopathy and Medical Herbalism, specialized in Vibrational Medicine, become a Reiki Master, TFT and Facial Kinetics Practitioner. However the most exciting part was opening to channel the higher intelligence - I call this ‘super science’. I was taught the new technologies and superior ways of restoring and maintaining health. All 36 products created by Natures Science are the transformative tools. The Modules taught by the Academy for Superior Living are all designed by this Celestial Super Science Consciousness. They contain transformational Bio-information, so when you are using Natures Science Skin Products, Female Hygiene, Detox, Superfoods and so on, you get the vibrational properties broadcasted to the energy system as well as the obvious benefit from the product. Natures Science holds a Patent of Nanotechnology and is introducing our Ascension Energy First Aid Kit: • Nano Cup - a magnetic and nanotechnology cup that helps you make your own incredibly ‘programmed’ water in only 5 minutes for extreme health benefits. • Body Box - the nanotechnology unit, which creates your own personal ‘bubble’ of harmonious energies, providing protection from environmental hazards. So while we are sitting in front of the computer immersed in the strange fields, your body feels as if it is in the forest. Body box brings the forest to you! • Superfood - is a super supplement designed to ‘put back in’ all that stress takes out of our bodies. It provides cellular nutrition and superior slow release sugars that keep the energy in the body high and steady throughout the day. Where ordinary sugars are

like a fire that burns the house down, superfood is like a fire in the fireplace, which keeps the house warm all day. The Academy for Superior Living runs group healing sessions every second Wednesday, bringing all of this advanced teachings and techniques where they belong - and that is in our everyday lives. Just like Spiritual “Takeaways”! The vibrational techniques, voice modulation techniques & reprogramming templates are made available to everyone who opens up. People get reprogrammed immediately in any area of life: physical health, relationships, money situations, career changes and so on. Some of the testimonials: • I felt like something was extending my spine, I felt a few inches taller... • My neck stopped hurting... • My knee pain was gone... • After a lifetime of suffering in unhappy relationships I have released some old programs & now I am planning my dream wedding... • A week after healing the old attachments with my

<< < > >>

family, my parents and brother contacted me after 10 years of silence!... • I have never felt this Joyful in my life!... Also available through the Academy are individual sessions as well as seminars such as: -1. Money matters -1. How to use your mind as your best friend instead of your worst enemy -1. Becoming a superwoman -1. Self help skills -1. Creating super life All of the seminars are currently available for booking, and will be available online soon. The latest ‘smash tool’ on offer is the Global GOoDness Project. It is an ultimate way of using the human mind and consciousness to create the desired manifestations globally. When a large group of people focuses their intent towards a certain outcome, we start to ‘move mountains’. After publishing the books such as the ‘secret’, ‘law of attraction’ and so on, lots of people achieved positive outcomes by using their minds as a divine ‘vibrational tool’. Some others are still stuck. The success of this creativity is dependent on two factors that are often neglected; to be efficient, the mind needs to be clear from previous programs and needs to achieve alpha, theta or delta state of consciousness and brain waves. If you have been thinking how to achieve this so that you can manifest effectively all the time, here is the answer! We have been offered the Celestial help, as we are not alone in the universe. Our highly evolved brothers are offering help to ‘amplify’ our signal, ‘burn out’ our old cellular memory instantly and lift us in higher consciousness with our permission. Easy to do! This project has been active since mid 2010, when the big scare was brought by the authorities banning the herbs and supplements in Europe. When many people started sending emails and information labeled ‘this is horrible’ or ‘this is outrageous’, the Guides had a very firm message for us:

(Channeled by Biljana Knaap 2010) “Stop contributing to that reality with your thoughts, words, emails as fear based thinking reinforce that scenario. If you want to change ‘the reality’, you must think, speak and believe in the desired outcome. We will amplify the signal of your thought form between 7.33pm and 7.46pm. In those 13 minute every day just focus on having and enjoying all of your herbs and natural supplements” So with it, myself and a group of participants thought this felt so fantastic, and now the Guides are helping us to apply the principals of Global GOoDness to all areas of life. Now everyone who wants to participate will be sent a template of thought forms and intent about the changes towards higher life: Health, Wealth, a New Stable Economy, a New Political System, New Science, a Happy Earth, Stable Weather Patterns, Graceful Earth Changes and so on. So we can create collectively the new life using our God given ‘tools’: Mind, Will, Peaceful Emotion and Divine Intent. This is beyond powerful! All Templates, Amplifications, Links and Registrations to Global GOoDness Project are free. If you wish to participate, please register by emailing: biljana@naturesscience. co.nz or biljanaknaap@xtra.co.nz and you will be sent the initial info pack immediately. If you are interested in any other service or product, please indicate by email and we will send you information. Alternatively visit www.naturesscience. co.nz. For those services or products with charges, please note the following: According to the new principals of abundance, we have incorporated the new template in place. So whenever you are paying us please do so joyfully. Paying is a statement to the Universe “I have, I receive” and “when I pay, it comes multiplied back to me”. We are moving away from the old paradigm of fear, ego based consciousness that ‘paying is losing’ which is followed by a negative feeling. We have attuned all of our accounts and receiving pathways that your money is blessed, is serving us joyfully and multiplies for all. This is a new abundance consciousness, please choose to be part of it - it is 5th dimensional life after all!

Shamanism - Just what do Shaman Believe By David de Warenne

In Australian indigenous tradition it is known as the ‘Dreamtime’. Many shamanic traditions believe that this invisible reality is divided into three separate worlds...known as...the lower world, the middle world and the upper world. Each world has distinct qualities, including gateways or entrances and recognisible landscapes.

Last month we investigated the use of the Shamanic drum and how it carries the Shaman into non ordinary reality…. In this month’s article we will explore just what Shaman believe in, including the cosmology of the shaman, and who the Spirit helpers that are their allies. So to begin, just what is it that shamans believe?

The lower world is a world with a landscape that is very earthy. It is filled with mountains, deserts, rivers and forests and traditionally a shaman ‘journeyed’ to the lower world by means of entering an opening within the earth like a cave, a hollow tree trunk, travelling down through the roots of a tree, down through the centre of a volcano, or through a body of water such as a lake, a river or waterfall. Usually there is some kind of transitional phase once the shaman has entered the opening such as a tunnel.

Maybe it’s best to first discuss the helping spirits that shaman believe in. We all know and feel that there are other unseen helpers that assist us throughout our lives, all religions and spiritual paths hold this universal concept as truth. Within Shamanism we hold the idea that there are two types of spirit helpers that compassionately look upon our human dramas and provide guidance, help and healing if only we ask.

It is here in our exploration that I would like to share the fact that many children’s stories are in fact shamanic journeys in disguise. One doesn’t have to search far before we discover that the story of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ describes a lower world journey completely, along with all of the weird characters found there, power animals and the archetypes of the unconscious mind, not to mention regular mention of plant helpers such as hallucinogenic mushrooms!

Because of the spiritual law of free will, we always have to ask first. We would be literally overwhelmed if we knew just how much support awaited us from within the unseen realms. These two distinct types of spiritual allies that wish to assist us come as Power animals and Spirit helpers in Human form. When we are born the spirit of at least one power animal offers itself to assist us throughout our life. They are guardian Spirits that provide protection, strength and healing, not to mention guidance when we seem lost. They also share with us the skills and attributes that they have, for example....an eagle has the ability to be far seeing....they have the gift of seeing the big picture in life...where a mouse has the ability to see up close, and has the gift of being able to take the baby steps that one needs to take to accomplish a goal or any dream. I’m naturally an eagle / hawk energy. I have huge vision and can see the big picture so easy. I have keen visual awareness and nothing often escapes my sight. But it was so frustrating for me to never be able to accomplish my goals in the past. I could easily see where I was going, and see the end destination, but I had to ask for further assistance of a power animal which came in the form of mouse and its equivalents,

to assist me in taking those baby steps that eventually make up the big picture that I always saw in my visions. No power animal is any more powerful than another; all are one and so all are equal in their gifts that they bring and share. Power animals are usually associated with the unseen reality that is called the lower world. The other types of spirits that Shaman believes in are spirit helpers in human form. These might come to us as Religious figures such as Jesus, Buddha or ascended masters such as Lord Sanada, Lady Nada, St Germain or Quan Yin. They come also as those of the higher Angelic realms. They also manifest as cultural Gods and Goddesses such as Isis and Osiris, or come as inspirational world figures and leaders like Mother Teresa and Ghandi. They may even present themselves in the form of our own ancestors. These spirit helpers and teachers are usually associated with unseen reality that is commonly called the upper world. We will look closer at these spirit helpers in next month’s issue when we will explore the shamanic ‘journey’. What about the unseen worlds of the shaman? According to the Shamanic view of the universe, there is an invisible reality beyond the physical world that is accessible through the means of the ‘Shamanic journey’, and although they don’t separate this invisible reality from that of the three dimensional world, they in fact view them as two halves of the same whole. In Celtic shamanism these non-ordinary realities are collectively known as the ‘Other World’.

<< < > >>

The lower world is associated with power animals, the Devic realms, Mother Earth, the past, those who have gone on before us, and the subconscious / unconscious minds. The Upper World by contrast is very ethereal in its make-up. The light seems to be very bright, or from pastel shades to darkness for some visitors. Upon exploring one might find themselves in crystal cities or just sense they are within the clouds somewhere. To journey to the upper world the shaman usually sees them in a particular place in nature such as climbing a tree, rising on the wisps of smoke from a fire or a volcano, flying up on a birds wings or just feeling the sensation of rising to the upper world. Sometimes a whirlwind might take us there. The Wizard of Oz reminds us of upper world journeys within children’s stories, as does Jack and the beanstalk and Peter Pan. Upon journeying, one seems to pass through some kind of transition layer like passing through the clouds until the shaman arrives at the upper world. In the upper world one would usually met with higher spiritual helpers, religious figures, ascended masters and higher beings of light. The upper world is associated with the probable and possible futures

and our highest possible calling individually and collectively. It is the place where all of our dreams are held. This brings us now to the middle world. This is the world where you and I are now sitting within our three dimensional bodies, but also of the invisible aspects of this three dimensional reality also. It is said that only ten percent of spirit is made manifest. That being, you and I in our physical bodies, and the rocks, trees, birds etc. that we see. But the remaining percentage of what we see physically also exists around us but at a different frequency of existence...here but unseen. When we journey through the middle world we go to commune with these higher and unseen aspects of spirit and nature within this world. We might also go to connect with a place that we have never visited before and to do distant healing, or to help a ‘lost soul’ pass over. Traditionally the shaman used this journey to find lost or stolen items. J.R.R. Tolkien’s, ‘Lord of the Rings’ describes this middle world and some of its unseen characters very descriptively within his adventurous and epic stories. We are all multi - dimensional beings and actually have our existence within all three worlds, connected by the matrix of life via our chakras and energetic systems. Our subconscious and unconscious minds connect us to the lower world and can be found within the lower chakras, and the upper world is where our higher selves and ‘I AM presence’ resides, remembering that all is source energy, ourselves included, and we are connected there by our upper chakra, the middle world is where our conscious minds and personalities function, and we are anchored into all three worlds from our hearts. We are gloriously all part of the oneness and gloriously all Source!

Living in the Now

By Craig Lankshear Universal Healer for Soul Destiny Foundation

These are tools to assist you in the preparation for your body to live in the now. This process is a unique journey of focus, self observation and self nurturing as we gently clear the cellular memory, and past suppressed negative and positive emotions, beliefs and addictions from our bodies. The process starts by making a conscious decision to clear ourselves of the past and quietly allowing the body at all levels, to release past memories. This process can be assisted with crystals or Dreamlits (magnetic crystal bracelets), which enhance your sleep and give you a quality dream space, at the same time, assisting the healing and clearing of our body. Colloidal silver and gold are also an excellent tool in raising our bodies vibration, together with eating a healthy diet rich in fruit, salads and vegetables. Along with this, eat chicken and fish, and go with your intuition as to when and how often to eat red meat. This will depend upon varying body types and the amount of physical activity you do in your life. The goal is to assist the body to achieve a slightly alkaline state. Coffee, alcohol and red meat are all acid forming foods in the body and slow down the process of disharmony energy from our bodies. Ideally, get yourself an alkaline/acid food chart. Crystal pyramids are also a very powerful tool to assist your body to realign to a higher frequency. But it is important you seek advice on this. We at Soul Destiny run self development classes, incorporating these tools and teaching people about them at more advanced levels. For further information phone + 64 9 521 7009 or visit our website: www.souldestiny.co.nz or email us on: souldestinyfoundation@gmail.com

from your body you may have the odd symptoms like headache, flu, stomach upsets etc, as the higher frequency replaces the old blocked energies. Also it is not uncommon for a few bad dreams or nightmares to take place as the subconscious mind releases these past stored experiences, memories and fears. You will find the Dreamlits (magnetic crystal bracelets), exceptionally good at assisting with the clearance of these bad dreams and other physical ailments. They are also beneficial in assisting with better sleep patterns. These are also available at Soul Destiny. Both the Dreamlits and crystal pyramids have been used by Soul Destiny Foundation members for over 2 years and have been used by many people in both New Zealand and Australia, and they are all benefitting from the higher vibration and better quality of life. These therapies were used by the ancient Lemurians and Atlanteans to create a better culture and a way of living in harmony together. This process takes a determination to want a better life for oneself and for ones family. And it requires the patience, love and understanding of yourself and those around you. It is therefore prudent in learning the process of living in the now, to only take one day at a time.

Craig is a “Universal Healer” and teacher with 30 years experience and he is currently practicing at Soul Destiny Foundation. www.souldestinyfoundation.com

From my experience so far, you are likely to experience flashes of anger, or past association or memories or some events as they are released. Also as pockets of lower vibration energy is released

Bullying under the microscope By Darren Wallace

Bullying has far reaching effects on children and adults alike. And these days, social media has added another dimension to it. Many girls are participating in violence more than ever. Recently New Zealand’s Ombudsmen had to be called into Hutt Valley High School to make a detailed report on bullying it found that extreme violence, torture and sexual abuse had occurred at the High school (source. 1). There has also been other high profile cases in the media over recent times. This is not just a New Zealand problem - it’s an issue throughout the western world and even probably the whole globe. Deep analysis and changes in legislation won’t be a solution there needs to be changes at ground level.

Constant suicidal thoughts, not been able to stand my own ground, depression, anorexia and frequently taking alcohol and drugs to kill the pain this was my life. Leaving school I thought it was all over. I drifted through different jobs and I went to work in an engineering factory. Some of the men kept wetting me regularly and I ended up fighting a guy that was ten years older than me in the middle of the factory after being punched in the side of the face by a guy in full view of the factory manager.

It can occur because of religious or racial differences, disabilities, poverty and many other reasons. Self esteem, confidence and respect are affected by it. It originates from the natural laws of survival of the fittest, herd mentality and the desire to fit in. At its heart it’s troubles, both within the bully and the bullied. I could complicate things now but I will attempt to keep the explanation as simple as I can whilst going into some depth on the topic. Instead of calling for just change at a larger level I’m calling for change within the family and the individual adult or child.

I had full blown pneumonia and had a near death experience that radically changed my life. I also spent three months off work on the sickness benefit. I was offered an opportunity to live by forces beyond me. You could call them angels or guides, other people would call it the higher self. I didn’t realise I had a choice on whether I wanted to be here. I said ‘I’m ready to go’ and I felt an incredible sense of peace; I accepted my own death totally. I was asked whether I wanted to be here when I said yes. I was told, “You have to be prepared to do anything to change your life”. This experience was the greatest gift that I’ve ever been given. I was suddenly eating well, exercising, acting, singing and dancing, not smoking and drinking less. A total rearrangement happened throughout my being, for years after that I told no one it fueled my wish to get more and more honest.

A Personal view

Letting go of the negative effects

I went to see the new remake of the movie Karate Kid recently, and when it came to the scene where a new boy in a new country gets beaten up by a mob of boys, I had tears streaming down my face. It struck a cord with me, because when I was 15 years old I got beaten unconscious and woke up in hospital. I had been bullied since I was a child. The bullying happened because I was dyslexic and I had mental illness and alcoholism in my family . To be fair to my family they really made an effort. Scouts and school were hell for me, and fighting became a regular thing for me in my teenage years; I was at times also a bully as well.

Some gifts can come badly wrapped. In my own life I have found that meditation, dancing and constant committed personal growth has been my path. I have experienced growth through body centered and experiential therapies. Just using my gut instinct and doing what I needed to do stretched into healing for myself and my whole family. I took help for dyslexia and also bitter medicines, some were hard core group sessions, one encounter weekend I did I was in between two women. One was soft and one was harsh. The harsh woman attacked me and I found myself in tears. I felt like a toothpaste tube. After that I found myself with stronger boundaries and

more confidence. I used softer approaches and did toastmasters; and undertook massage tuition, Outward Bound and more. Some therapies aren’t for everyone; you will know inside yourself what you need. They can break down the hard shell that separates us from ourselves .Some times people aren’t ready. But know that our insides tell us when we are. Growth has seasons, and things learnt need to be put into practice; so looking after ourselves with diet, exercise and rest is important. All through this healing I had mentors and people that were there to help me because I was open and growing in trust. Some suggestions to assisting children who are dealing with this is finding something they‘re good at, and get them to focus on that. Also channel their imagination and teach them observation skills. Marital arts people know when trouble is coming and avoid or respond to it. I learnt that my sensitivity is a gift or a liability it can aid in the development of empathy, understanding and compassion .A person needs to be balanced in spirit, mind and body.

When I see injustice I can choose to stand up if I want too. I no longer feel alone or isolated. The self consciousness and self obsession has been replaced with self focus and strength. The difference is self obsession and self consciousness locks you in, self focus and inner strength frees you up. I’m more whole now, I’m no longer afraid of my insides, feelings and thoughts. I’ve created space in my being and I full it with music, positive thoughts, friends and beautiful aloneness. At this time in history the world needs universal love we can all let go of whatever blocks us, beyond our families is community. (Source 1 NZ Herald)

Men can also have a soft and a strong side. Human beings can be alone or with others, and can deal with each others difficulties together or alone it doesn’t matter. We ‘re social animals, and our thoughts and actions have an effect on others. Just because a certain race or kind of people have treated us badly doesn’t mean we should look on all people as been like that. Forgiveness means moving on from the past and not denying it happened. Sometimes pushing at a difficulty works, however at other moments letting go shifts a block and opens our intuition. To see something as a life lesson may take time because so much grit can attach itself to issues, and they may have been deep in the subconscious or the body for along time. Acknowledge any trauma and allow it to come out, life can be lived more fully then. A bright end note “Faith moves mountains but bring your shovel” I guess after examining this topic I hope I have imparted some experience and helpful information. Well something amazing happened. I got better as the years went on and did a lot of healing. Last year the bullying got bad in my work place, there was back stabbing and gossip between both men and women. I was also facing family and relationship issues at the time as well. So I confronted six people as well as the boss and I felt my own strength and stood my ground. There were no more problems after that, and not long after that the company was sold, and I was moved into the department next door. I treat these people next door with respect and I’ve completely moved on from that period in my life.

Art of Health Tip of the Month with Kim Knight

Smoking or emotional smokescreen? Ever seen a kangaroo with a cigarette in its mouth? If you stop and think about it, human beings are the only animals that smoke! So why do we and why is it so difficult to quit? An intake of tobacco or alcohol in the body creates a rise in toxicity levels in the blood and accumulation of contaminants in the liver, which then has to work to eliminate the toxins. While the liver is doing this, we can feel pretty tired and grumpy (to put it mildly), as the liver borrows energy from other physiological functions. Hence we can find it hard to move, think or digest when we are detoxifying, but most noticeably we ‘feel like ****’. So what do most people do when they start to feel the effects of detoxification? ‘Hair of the dog’ and pull out another cigarette - anything to avoid going through the symptoms of detoxification. We continue to smoke in order to avoid the stressful symptoms of detoxification which start as soon as we stop smoking! Whilst the detoxifying process makes it difficult to stop smoking, the psychological need to smoke, which is linked to the mental and emotional aspects of the smoker, is the real reason why the addiction to smoking is so widespread. ... And often, apart from the social ‘looking cool’ reasons, why we started smoking in the first place.

Smoking is an emotional smokescreen – it brings warmth to the chest, where our heart and ‘hurts’ are located, and allows us to feel emotionally good. The act of smoking often means we are carrying emotional suffering. Smoking masks emotional charges keeping them submerged in smoke and the emotionally numb person inhales deep smoke so as not to be bothered by unwanted feelings. So if you’d really like to stop smoking, ask yourself ‘what is the picture behind the smoke’? We need to address the reasons why you took up the habit in the first place in order to fully detoxify.

Healing Horses

By Jeanne Northwood, Energy Works Throughout most of Man’s history, horses have been there; working for us and with us, helping us in our travels and development, teaching us, and loving us. We owe so much to the noble horse! Today, the horse seems somewhat redundant compared to earlier times of work and battle. However, the horse is also perhaps more abundant in our lives now than ever before; perhaps more for play than for work. We also have much more access to the pleasures of our horse companions. We enjoy their company, for pleasure, for learning, and often for competition and performance, to see who the best is!

creatures. We understand now that we can have a true, close relationship with our horse; that they are sentient! The too can feel, they too can hurt, be stressed, have joy and personality, have sadness and pain, have fun and play times, and they too can have their own agenda of ‘issues’. And Love! They too can love so unconditionally. Something that we could all learn from them I am sure! Our horses are also able to assist us with our healing journeys as well, as they are sentient beings. They are able to offer unconditional love and patience to the disabled, to our children; to ourselves; to other animals! They are sensitive to our emotional state, to our energy & that energy around them. They can take on our emotions too! They can even have their own agendas in this lifetime to address as well. Changes in our horse’s physical or emotional behaviour can indicate the possibility of an imbalance in their emotional needs. They too can store stress/ emotional traumas within their cellular memory, as we do.

To learn from them, to talk with them, and to know them, to play with them, and just to’ be’ with them; to do this with heart, we have to be in their World as well, not just in ours. They can bring out qualities in us that may not surface under normal circumstances. They can help us to learn more about ourselves, thus allowing us to also learn more about their World, and the World of life beyond that as well. They are our Teachers. They are our Healers too! They do not need words to heal us; they do not need arms to wrap around us. They just need to be ‘horse’. If we can accept that they are ‘horse’ and not try and change them to be like us; to think like us, then we will be so rich in knowing, and sharing, our lives with the horse!

Energy Healing can assist to bring our beloved horses back into alignment and balance within, clearing the way for new pathways, allowing them to regain their freedom within.

“Eye Patterns”

By Eileen Darwin, Creative Director, Communications Plus Ltd

what is happening when someone’s eyes go different places to what one might expect from reading the above. What a pattern might look like and mean: Visual construct – Vc Auditory construct – Ac Kinesthetic - K

See issue #2 for “NLP Representational Systems – “The Basics” Reminder – NLP Representational Systems are based on your 5 senses – Visual “V”, Auditory “A”, Kinesthetic “K”, Olfactory “O” and Gustatory “G” – and are central to how your brain works. ALL your life experiences are stored as pictures, sounds, feelings, smells and tastes. Rules of Representation Systems: 1. Everybody uses all rep systems in their brain processing – and that includes eye pattern movements, no-one just uses one direction.

(Ad) • Defocusing the eyes and staring straight ahead, looking into the distance also shows visualization 1 and sometimes unspecified language (Ad) use. When you look at someone else: (See Diagram) Their right eye Their left eye: * Normally-wired” or “cross-wired” ! some people are ‘cross-wired’ and that means: • Either all the above is on the opposite side than pictured

Visual remembered – Vr

If you’re in sales / negotiating – you can make a sale much easier, by knowing how the buyer processes their world, and how they would prefer to be sold to:

Auditory remembered – Ar Auditory digital – Ad Let’s imagine we are talking with a colleague or a friend, and we ask them “What did you do on your holiday?” 1 Notice where their eyes go while they are considering an answer. Remember to watch straight away 1 it all happens in a split second, so if you’re not looking, you may miss it! Do they look up, sideways, or down? If down, as it left or right? Perhaps their eyes went UP, then DOWN LEFT (theirs). That might mean they were making a ‘picture’ of where they went, then they went looking for ‘words’ to describe the picture. They may then respond “look, we had a fabulous place up north, you should see those lovely sandy beaches – had a great time watching out for dolphins 1 “ (starts off with V words, then notice the other words are all Ad)

2. Each person has a ‘preferred rep system’.

• One of the following - Visual; Auditory; or Kinesthetic/Auditory digital are opposite

In NLP _ eyes and their movement patterns are called “Eye Accessing Cues” - commonly, for a “normally wired” person* the following applies 1

• It takes a skilled NLP trained person to notice the patterns, and know whether a person is “cross wired”

• Visualizing something from our past experience, our eyes tend to move up to our left (Vr)

Tracking the movements takes practice, and please know that even though people have a ‘preferred’ V, A, K or Ad, they use all of them, depending on the context they’re in, and the question asked. For instance, if someone is asked a ‘visual’ question “What color is your car” 1 their eyes are most likely to go UP LEFT (Vr) and make a picture in their head of the car, and it’s color – then give you a response “red”. The same principle applies for ‘auditory’ or ‘feeling’ types of questions.

Perhaps their eyes went SIDEWAYS to their left, then DOWN to their right. That might mean they were ‘hearing’ the sounds of where they went, then they went into their ‘feelings’ before telling you what the holiday was like for them. They may then respond, “tell you what, it was terrific – listened to wonderful music some days, and boy, did it feel great to relax, wind down, just hang out with the kids 1 “ (starts off with A words, then swaps to K)

NLP Practitioners practice “eye accessing cues” many times in order to know someone’s patterns – it is a highly skilled art, and well worth the time to become successful at it. They also learn to interpret

If you’re a parent – you can learn to communicate more easily with your children:

• When constructing a picture from words, or trying to imagine things we have never seen, our eyes move up to our right (Vc) • The eyes move across to our left for remembered sounds (Ar), and across to our right for constructed sounds (Ac) • When accessing feelings, our eyes will typically go down to our right (K) • When talking to ourselves, or recalling data type information, our eyes will usually go down to our left

<< < > >>

(theirs) head down, and appearing to not be paying attention – in fact, they’re processing the manager’s words by ‘feeling’ what that means for them, and they will respond (slowly) once they ‘feel’ their answer. They may then say: “Well, it feels to me as if 1” An unaware manager might retort with “I don’t care about feelings 1 I want your opinion/thoughts about the situation!” Be aware – the eyes give clues, and allow people their choice of words.

How is this useful for you?

• The ‘visual’ (fast talking) parent often says to an ‘auditory’ child “look at me when I’m talking to you” 1 the ‘auditory’ child will have eyes that move sideways (towards their ears), which is how they ‘hear’ what the parent is saying. Looking while listening may be distracting to the concentration of an auditory processor.

• Finding out what eye patterns the ‘buyer’ has is vital to a quick and effective sale. People have a LEAD system, a PRIMARY system and a REFERENCE system. • If they are, for example: o a ‘visual lead’ (eyes go up first, in response to a question about stored information); o ‘visual primary’ (what main types of words they are using at that time – are they predominately V, A, K or Ad); o and ‘kinesthetic reference’ (if eyes go down right – this may mean they’re making a decision about whether something is true/correct for them, or not) • So 1 if you can track the pattern, and speak back to them in the same sequence – you may find your sales will increase! If you’re a partner – imagine how much better life would be if you understand how you each like being responded to: • One partner may be ‘auditory’ and the other ‘kinesthetic’ 1 this can cause upset when the auditory person is using words like “talk, listen, hear” and is upright with a strong stance, might even be standing sideways to the other person, looking straight ahead, with their eyes heading sideways towards the direction of their ears 1 the kinesthetic person uses words like “feel, uncomfortable, and is probably more prone to emotion” and they are looking down, head bowed, body slumped, and may end up in tears!

If you’re a manager – you can check out the different styles of your staff:

• Here the auditory processor needs to be ‘listened’ to 1 and the kinesthetic processor needs to be ‘touched’ (even gently on the arm would do) and their expression of emotion considered, rather than dismissed as unimportant.

• The ‘auditory digital’ manager will say to a staff member “what’s the story here?” 1 and the ‘kinesthetic’ responder might be looking down right

“We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dream. Wandering by lone sea breakers, and sitting by desolate streams. World losers and world forsakers, for whom the pale moon gleams, yet we are movers and the shakers of the world forever it seems.” ~ Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy ~

I create journals for those of us who are the dreamers, the world forsakers, the movers and shakers. Journals to inspire you to write, to dream, to have the desire to be who you are destined to be. These journals have been carefully handcrafted with love and intended as a keepsake or a special gift for someone. These journals have 84 hand dyed pages, in the colours of the rainbow with hand dyed pockets to keep those memories tucked away safely. The stone on the cover is colour matched to the cover and is a precious stone, with Chakra clearing properties. The journal measures 19cm x 13cm. The cover material can be the colour of your choice, so just let me know what your prefer. The journals I create come in many different styles and sizes. All handmade; I can collaborate with you to create a one off journal especially for you or someone special.

Reinventing yourself By Mel Abbott of Empower Therapies

This month, I am reflecting on how people can reinvent themselves. If you’re not enjoying the “you” that you currently are, there are so many ways to create a new “you”. Your first step is to start thinking “what do I want instead of what I’ve got?” This does NOT mean “I don’t want…” because if you think about that, it doesn’t get you want you want. If you entered a bar and the barman asked you “what do you want?” and you replied “Definitely not a beer. I hate beer”, the barman is still unable to help you. So start out by asking yourself “What DO I want to feel?” and “What DO I want to do.” Start visioning the things that you would like to be able to do. What would your life be like? Another useful thing that I do is to make a “focus board” each year. It’s a colour cardboard sheet that I make a collage on, with cut-outs from magazines, pictures, inspirational words et cetera that build up a picture of what I want to achieve that year. I put it on my bedroom wall and every time I pass it, I am subconsciously being reminded to achieve it. I have been amazed how much impact my focus board has had on creating change in my life. Sometimes, knowing what you want is still not enough. That’s when it’s a good idea to get some extra help. There are many techniques out there for you to choose from. The two techniques that I use are Neuro-Linguistic Programming (a fast and gentle technique that allows your subconscious mind to resolve underlying issues, usually in just 2 to 5 sessions) and The Lightning Process (a 3 day course about the science of mind-body interaction that teaches you how to rebalance your whole emotional and physical health system). I had a really beautiful experience last week – a Lightning Process client showed me a letter that she sent to her parents a week after the course. She feels so reinvented that she felt a need to introduce them to their new daughter. She has asked me to share this story to give others hope of how much change is possible… “Dear Mum and Dad, Hello, my name is *. I know we have not met before

but let me introduce you to your daughter. I am a really lovable, energetic and happy young woman who takes pride in my successes. I smile a lot and really love the small things in life. I especially love dancing, playing sport, travelling and socialising. I have some wonderful friends and I really enjoy their company. I create time each day to do something that I love. Every morning I wake up thankful for yesterday and grateful for today. I once knew a girl, who I believe you may have known also. She did a lot of tiredness, anxiety and tears. I did not like her very much and did not enjoy her company. Therefore I have chosen to no longer associate with this girl. I realise she was a reasonably large part of your life but I would appreciate if you could also do the same. I understand this may be hard for you at first but it would make me very happy if you could do this for me. I guarantee you will not miss her! This girl once owned a teddy which was very dear to her; she held it close when she did exhausted, hopeless and lonely. She no longer needs teddy and neither do I. Please place him in my room (not on my bed) and when you see him, smile and think of me and all the exciting things I am doing.

An extract from A Year with Spirit When it comes to manifesting, firstly, you need to understand it is not your human mind that has the power to manifest – it is your higher consciousness. The first step towards manifesting is to raise yourself into your higher consciousness; all the rays help you to achieve this. When you wish to manifest: VISUALIZE ORANGE LIGHT AROUND YOUR BODY – this will separate you from the Thought Plane – then PALE BLUE LIGHT around that – this will help you connect with your soul’s blueprint. Now picture what you wish to manifest – hold this thought as long as you can then let it go. The next day look at your picture again – and this time SURROUND IT IN LIGHT GREEN. If the green stays light, Spirit will be processing your request. If it is a murky green, karma will be standing in your way. Take a positive approach and work on cleansing your karma so that your desires CAN MANIFEST. Colour and light has always guided humanity. I hope when you read these messages they will guide and inspire you. Read more http://www.lalesha.com/year_with_spirit.php

Life is wonderful and exciting. I cannot wait for tomorrow. There is so much I have planned. I hope you are both well and enjoying life as much as me. I am really looking forward to meeting you!” There is a lot of information on my site www. empowertherapies.co.nz, including YouTube videos of me on The Breakfast Show, holding seminars and working with clients, a free download information booklet and lots of info pages for different physical and emotional health issues. So have a browse and see what answers you find. You are also very welcome to contact me to discuss how you might be able to reinvent yourself.

Through Cancer with Love How ThetaHealing™ Can Help by Nancy Cate, Master ThetaHealer®

Confronting a serious disease such as cancer means you get to choose from a bewildering array of potential healing choices. ThetaHealing™ fits into the mind/body therapies and has much to offer because it can happily work in conjunction with both conventional and alternative remedies. I frequently work with clients taking chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and drugs; as well as those using fresh juices, fasting, nutritional supplements, cleanses and meditational approaches. Most clients navigate a middle road based on personal choice to achieve wellbeing – something I whole-heartedly respect. In ThetaHealing™ we believe that illness can arise in the body from toxins or heavy metals; genetic factors; traumas; and also feelings, memories and emotions that are either unrecognized or unexpressed. Any of these alone or in combination can overload our bodies and lead to major illnesses. Often the body encases toxins within a tumour to keep the toxins from being spread within the body. When I encounter cancer in my clients I’ve found the best way to bring healing is to love the cancer and to avoid intuitively sending it fear or stress. As a ThetaHealer® I always go into the body with love, which is the best healing energy to help us overcome any obstacles. Hidden beliefs can foster illnesses like cancer, or our conditions can serve us in some surprising ways. Unexpected benefits can be as simple as ‘when I’m sick I get love and attention’ or ‘when I’m sick it brings my family together’ or ‘now I’m sick I can finally rest’. None of these would be conscious choices but they can be cleared and changed with love. Clients can be taught how to feel loved, know their family will hold together when they are healthy; and how to rest without needing to have cancer. Some clients need to know they can find their purpose again, to heal and carry on with life. Frequently ThetaHealing™ belief work is all that is needed to allow the body to return to health.

has recurred. This last issue can be extremely discouraging and be accompanied by thoughts of ‘I’m not sure I can fight this a second time’ plus fears of again needing lots of support from loved ones. ThetaHealing™ has a fabulous ‘Healing for the Broken Soul’ that gives clients back their ability to rebuild and rejuvenate themselves. As a ThetaHealer® I know that ‘The Energy That Moves In All Things’ can heal us and I’m trained to use my theta brainwaves to intuitively witness unconditional love healing all levels of my client. In one recent case of bowel cancer I ‘saw’ the tumour shrink and completely vanished. This was later validated by my client’s oncologist. Once a client is on the road to recovery we usually spend a session working on the next steps in their life. What will they do once the round of treatments, supplements and special diets has finished? It’s essential to be able to envision resuming a healthy, joyful and satisfying life. Nancy Cate is a ThetaHealing™ Master & Certificate of Science; and also the ThetaHealing™ Representative for NZ. She’s available for personal healings and speaking engagements; teaching the full curriculum of ThetaHealing™ classes at Knowledge Tree School of ThetaHealing™, Browns Bay, Auckland, tel: 09 479 5706, nancy@knowledgetree. co.nz, or visit www.knowledgetree.co.nz

‘To be or not to be’ that is the question? But what is the answer? Genetic Brain Dominance Profiling! Most of us struggle with communication; we don’t say what we mean and we don’t mean what we say. We often think back and wish we could have said this or that. Done things differently and behaved in different ways. I, myself, always wanted to be a laid back person, someone who just went with the flow and could handle any problem with ease and grace. Turns out that this is not who I am. I am just not wired like that. Once I had my Brain Profile done I could really relate to how I behaved and how I reacted in certain circumstances. I began to respect myself and have more compassion towards myself. The Brain Profile gives us a map of how we function under stress, and how we function day to day. It assists us to understand ourselves and our loved ones better. I highly recommend each and every person to attend a Brain Profile. It takes just over an hour and you will emerge from this time, enlightened and equipped to deal better with the hurdles that face us on a daily basis. Book now and you will receive a $20 discount off the normal price. Offer only lasts till the end of November 2011. Once you have had one yourself you may want to purchase profile vouchers as gifts for Christmas. This is a great gift that keeps on giving for years to come. Book now with Noeline on 09 522 8584 or 021 052 8980, offices in Remuera/Meadowbank. Check out her website www.brainfocus.co.nz

Severely sick clients have often exhausted their abilities to positively influence their health because some treatments can be debilitating; the fight has been going on for too long or the disease

‘The Benevolent Universe’ Artists Statement by Christine Wykes

“What quantum calculations show is that we and our universe live and breathe in what amounts to a sea of motion – a quantum sea of light.” (L. McTaggart, The Field: 2003).

This series of works sprang from my interest in outer space with its dynamic power, size, colour and light. I named this series ‘The Benevolent Universe’ because following surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and while in my ‘worst hell’, there was a realization of something infinitely precious at my core: perfect peace; a peace ‘that passed all understanding’. I realised that the power that sustains the manifest world is intelligent, alive, whole, completely unified, full, and present, here and now. Having recently begun working in neon I discovered that I prefer to hide the light behind wood, boards, mirrors or metals, thereby creating a ‘halo effect’ that gently, although vibrantly, illuminates the work. These artworks, to me, are therapeutic and healing. They cast a coloured glow, particularly in the fading light and something stirs within, a quiet joy, leaving me centred and peaceful. Chris is an artist currently working with mixed media, including neon light. She is writing a book of poems with an old friend from her University of Waikato days in the 1970’s and is continuing to paint. Chris has also been writing a trilogy about her life and search for truth, which ultimately outlines the journey from separation to wholeness. The chapter ‘I’ll See You in Heaven’ published in the October issue of the Into Light magazine was extracted from Volume 2 of her trilogy. In her mid-twenties, after several ‘unusual’ experiences of a transcendent nature, she became a seeker after truth or God. She says, “I gave up seeking in 2002 out of sheer frustration, twenty-seven years later. The decision to quit the search filled me with fear. Who was I, if I gave it up? I’d identified as a seeker for so long that I didn't know who I would be if I stopped searching. I knew I wasn’t finding ‘it’ with my intellect. The ‘seeker’ was my ego and the fear felt was the ego seeing its own death as immanent: Not a total annihilation, but suddenly the ego was in the back seat rather than the driver’s seat of my life, allowing a wisdom deeper than the thinking mind to emerge.” However, none of this meant that life did not have any more challenges in store. Following a diagnosis of advanced and invasive breast cancer in October 2003 (Breast Cancer Awareness month), Chris underwent a right breast mastectomy, chemotherapy and five weeks of daily radiotherapy. A year ago (November 2010), Chris discovered her breast cancer had metastasized when her right lung filled up with fluid. The fluid was drained monthly for three months before she undertook a pleurodesis at Auckland Hospital, whereby the lining

was sealed to halt the fluid build up. Following the operation, Chris was seriously ill, but she pulled through. Since then the cancer has continued to spread. Chris feels she is facing the biggest challenge of her life. She says, “Medically, there is no hope for me. I want to heal. I don’t think it’s my time yet, so if I’m going to make it something needs to happen soon, as I’m really down to the wire. I’ve read remarkable stories of healing, such as Dr Marin Brofman who healed himself when he had only two months to live approximately thirty-five years ago and Petrea King, who also healed herself when she had three months to live, about twenty-six years ago. Recently, I watched Anita Moorjani discuss her 2006 Near Death Experience on YouTube. She did die of her cancer and yet while on the ‘other-side’, she made a decision to return and knew her cancer would ‘melt’ away. It did. Anita spoke about how she realized that at her core she is pure unconditional love and that is the truth of every one of us.” Chris went on to say, “Years ago now, while still in recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, my body hurt a lot and I closed my eyes and loved it from my head to my toes. Some nights I sent love to various people before I fell asleep. Then I had a dream whereby I realized that it wasn’t necessary to send love because that was a separated person thinking they could do something of themselves. What was required was relaxing into the love that I am.” Chris doesn’t know how the next phase of her life will unfold. She is listening to her intuition, her innerguidance and following that to the best of her ability.

'Dream Keepers', NZ presents -

Your Mind with Richard Gray

Continuing last month’s discussion... Continuing the subject of internal voice dialogue from last month, ‘other voices in the head’ most often start at puberty, or the years just following. However, they have been known to start in middle aged adults who have been living under extreme pressure, and come via a breakdown. Increasingly children are said to be experiencing bi-polar and SZ conditions too. However, I can’t really comment on this as I have no personal experience of children fitting this description. In such cases it may not be trauma at all, but unguided spiritual experiences, or a delayed reaction that didn’t result in DID. Many young people are reaching puberty much earlier too, so this may be another factor. So where do the voices come from? I think it would be a rare person who does not experience their own voice in their head as they think and mull over things in their mind. What I have noticed very frequently when getting to the core of someone’s seemingly external voice experience is that the words of the voices often bear a strong relationship to significant experiences or people in their lives – most usually the traumatic or difficult ones, but again not always; they may be related to a significant life changing experience, one that has the person in a state of unawareness with respect to the dialogue going on in their head at the time and becomes lodged in the subconscious memory without conscious recall. For example, people who come to an SZ diagnosis later in life often have quite comfortable voice hearing experiences, and this would seem to relate to the fact that they are more fully established or grounded in who they are – they have grown

past the turbulence of growing up and maturing, and the voices and visions they experience are most often supportive and helpful. They could possibly be described as an internal dialogue with their higher self-mind. The external ‘from without’ influence is when the trauma involves an abuser – the abuse is often recorded unconsciously and the subject rarely remembers the words or even voice as being that of the abuser. Funnily, people who have been slowly abused over a period of time in a more subtle way can have similar voice hearing experiences later on, often starting after some other traumatic experience such as an accident or death of a loved one. Negative voices may also become lodged in the subconscious mind if a person is semi/ unconscious for any reason - such as just having had an accident - and hears others speaking negatively with fear surrounding what has just happened. These voices can triggger again when the person later experiences similar emotions or surroundings as those just before the accident. Again, they have no conscious recollection. It is interesting to reflect that humans have a great inclination for hanging on to negative experiences whereas the pleasant ones are accepted and let go. To get to the core of voices that occur as a result of traumatic experiences is like looking at DID triggers. They are our way of separating the experience from the immediate conscious self so that we can continue to function more or less normally. The major difference is that DID separates the different aspects, natures or personalities of the person (which we all have) into those parts that are best suited to deal with each situation, whereas SZ

<< < > >>

experiences start later in life, and as a result a person is more integrated, less vulnerable, and so separates the experiences/ voices in a less extreme way; as being them and other than them. When we look at how people coming to this situation later in life generally have more positive experiences, it is reasonable to expect that as teenagers mature they too start to become less bothered by the voices, especially once over 30. Sadly professionals seem unable see this (being educated into functioning solely out of their lower human minds), and keep their subjects tied to their drugs and dependent lifestyle. The big problem for a voice hearer is when these other-worldly responses take over their everyday lives; and whether they do or not has a lot to do with a number of factors including how severe and how many experiences a person is copying with, their personality in respect to how easily they may become affected by external events, and whether they were treated unkindly or harshly by others when growing up – as said, it is frequently the more sensitive ones who are more readily effected; those with kind hearts and concern for others. The sad thing is, when such a person becomes heavily tranquillised they can lose much of this empathy just like a drunken person can. They become embroiled in what is going on with themselves. Unfortunately, this is the view that most other people see. . See next month’s issue for the next part of Richard’s journey.

Letting Go By Trish Stewart

As we travel through life we have many experiences, these are put on our path so we can learn. When taking on board things that do not serve your highest good or that you no longer require you make life difficult for yourself and create great pain. When you recognise that these are not having a positive influence and it comes time to letting go, you are at a loss and the reason why you are at a loss is because you have spent a lot of time, effort and energy in creating this painful experience. Let’s look at relationships; it seems to be the key that people function on. The relationship you have with your parents, brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, the people you work with, the people in your neighbourhood, as you look around you, you will see that you have created the world that fits with your beliefs, it is like writing a script for a play. You work out how you think the world should operate based on the beliefs that you have, your thoughts, dreams, visions, perhaps a book you have read or a movie you have seen, you put a lot of effort and energy into creating these emotions and behaviours so the people around you will behave accordingly. You bring people into your life and expect certain behaviour from them, with long term relationships, particular intimate ones whether it is a close friend or a partner, lover, husband or wife you work hard to create what you desire, and then you put that desire upon them so they will make you happy. You may decide how they have to behave and what they have to say, forgetting that when you are doing that you are taking away their power and making the issue about you. You also disempower yourself because you are not taking responsibility and ownership for your life, your expectation is that the people you have drawn to you will meet your demands and needs and therefore all will be well. Because you have put so much effort and energy into creating this when it doesn’t work you have a sense of loss because your creation has fallen apart. It is the fact that our creation didn’t work that creates the pain it is not that the person has moved on; it is all that emotion you have put into it, where will you put that emotion if the person or thing has gone? This often leads to the ruminating of “Where did I go wrong?” “What

happened, I tried so hard to make it work?” You may have noticed that when some relationships finish the person has to go out and find another companion straight away, they are filling the void and they have to have someone to give their emotion to. Emotion is the key: you are born from desire and in your being you have two desires, the first one is to avoid pain this is based on fear, the second desire is to experience pleasure this is based on pure love. Because you spend so much time avoiding pain you forget what pleasure is and what true love is. You are the creator of everything that you have in your world; you are the creator of your life. If there are things that you have around you that no longer work for you, if you are looking for change, it is time to alter how you create. When you alter how you create you shift your vibration, in this new vibration and with this understanding it becomes easy to let go because you know you are letting go of the patterns and rhythms that control you. These patterns and rhythm’s you have created govern your behaviour and therefore the behaviour of the people around you. Letting go is based on all the emotions that you have accumulated, hoarded and stored, obviously you want to keep the ones that mean a lot to you that have created positive pleasure moments that help you to feel loved and have created happiness, all these are good. Letting go can create pain but in that space you bring in the love that you desire you bring in the peace and the calm. We are in a very exciting time now; because we have so many old world beliefs and patterns around us, we have gone from the age of Pisces to the age of Aquarius and with that shift we want to move from all the old controls the old domination we want to move into the new and the bright. It is time for us to go back to being at one with ourselves and with the people around us. There is no need for us to hold onto everything the universe is full of abundance and will always supply us with whatever it is we need. As

<< < > >>

long as we focus on what we wish to achieve and with good intent with our arms opened wide and ready to receive it will come. Often it does not come because we have crossed our arms over our chests and not allowed it in. With focusing on the good you have no time for the fear and therefore it is not created. As you step forward and go further into your life you will gain momentum and ease, there are many changes coming and while at first this may not look good for you, while you think they are negative and painful they are necessary these are times for going forward, time for you to learn and release. Remember letting go is just removing what doesn’t work and replacing it with what does, if you replace it with pleasure, love and positive intention you will go forward and you will bring people to you who match your vibration and those people will bring in others who match their vibration and so the world will slowly change, it is expediential. There is no need for pain, there is no need to dive into

the background of your life and look for things that are wrong. It is time to look at what has gone right, what has worked for you and use that as the new foundation of your new world. It is so simple, people complicate things so often. Unfortunately people don’t think that they are allowed to have love, so many have been hurt and ideas of love are associated with pain and not pure pleasure. You have conditions and expectations that stem from the stories you have fed yourself to justify how the world is treating you. It is time to take of the filters and blinkers and say yes to a life of pure love, you deserve this and in allowing yourself to receive and enjoy an enchanted and forever love you are allowing others the same gift. Discard the weight of living and embrace the joy of life.

Healing with Humour Patch Adams Tour Russia November 2004 By Pat Armitstead

Send in the Clowns... The song ‘Send in the Clown’s is a curious combination of humour and sadness. A perfect title then to open on a journey by clowns into poverty and loneliness. Imagine 36 people from all over the world landing in Russia, in clown persona, to join Patch Adams on his 2004 Healing with Humor Tour. On a mission to visit hospitals and orphanages in Moscow and then St Petersburg, Patch Adams aim was for each clown to find and spend his clown self, make Russian friends, and experience firsthand the disparity between rich and poor. The troupe was lead through over 30 facilities bringing them face to face with abject poverty, loneliness and helplessness. Why Russia? Patch visits many countries now with a troupe of clowns in tow. Twenty years ago Patch was chosen to be part of a peace mission to Russia. He joined 70 other Americans from all walks of life and it was at that time he opted to travel as a clown. He fashioned his own clown passport and set out to amuse and bemuse everyone who crossed his path, including the 69 others in the delegation. It was on this tour that he discovered the plight of Russia’s orphans and made a personal commitment to return and take action. This year was his 20th anniversary of November in Russia. Russian orphans now number close to one million. In a country of one hundred and forty million people that’s a large percentage. Why are there so many? There is no single answer to that question. Factors such as poverty and alcoholism figure highly as causative agents. Poor education and limited job opportunities mean the orphans, on release at age 16, are reduced to a life of crime and prostitution. Pregnancies occur and the infants they bear are handed over to the orphanages from which they came. Sex education is non existent and contraception while available is rarely used. Jan Thatcher Adams, MD, Minnesota has been on a number of tours with Patch. She says “Some things about winter in Russian cities don't change-- the endless gray days, the harsh, fume-filled air, the dingy buildings and Stalinist era block architecture. Life is hard here, and getting harder. Democracy and capitalism have meant, for the average person, an unprecedented poverty in the midst of stores jammed with western goods. Violence has shifted from state-sponsored to Russian mafia and routine criminal activity. The average life span for the Russian male is 56 years--in St. Petersburg, it's 51 years. One

Russian friend tells me that Americans, because they are so fortunate and spend their lives in the pursuit of material wealth, have lost track of their souls. We Russians are married to death. We know how to stay with our souls.” So how in the face of such lack can the essence of clowning be administered? Only in the guise of the hospital clown can this persona be evidenced. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, a clown is "a familiar comic character of pantomime and circus, known by his (sic) distinctive makeup and costume, ludicrous antics, and buffoonery, whose purpose is to induce hearty laughter. The clown, unlike the traditional fool or court jester, usually performs a set routine characterized by broad, graphic humour, absurd situations, and vigorous physical action". Unlike the circus clown, hospital clowns do not necessarily have a practiced routine or perform elaborate tricks. All wear costume and make up but the emphasis is on being in the moment and responsive to the person being encountered. The idea is to bring laughter and joy to the bedside of the sick or into the lives of the poor, thereby boosting morale and the immune system to enhance wellness. The hospital clowns on this tour used song, musical instruments, balloons, stamps, tattoos, good humour, and the notion of having fun and being silly to pave the way to a personal or small group encounter that delighted. A story of paradox and synchronicity; of stark poverty and excessive wealth unfolded as the tour began. Two to three facilities a day were visited. All buildings were in poor condition and some had dirt floors in some areas. Interestingly every facility had a hat check area! There was no soap. There was no toilet paper or hand towel. There were light bulbs only in key areas. Children ate soup they called Borsch; to us it looked remarkably like water with 3 carrot sticks and a sliver of spinach. In some facilities the care-givers were kind compassionate and committed to their roles. In many the caregivers demonstrated mans inhumanity to man over and over, ruling with a severe countenance and controlling authority. One facility allowed us only one hour (We usually had two) saying the children had to have their injections! It was as the children were starting to really enjoy the clowning experience that they were denied further contact.

<< < > >>

At Sergiev Posad, the deaf dumb and blind school we saw great love and compassion. Poor though the facility was the children wanted for nothing in the way of developmental material and a caring environment. Most equipment had been made or sourced by the caregivers and was astounding in its ingenuity and creativity. Children were clean, dressed in worn but carefully pressed clothes. 36 clowns and 10 children painted a mural with rainbows, castles and butterflies. A child with autism, who was also deaf, hummed to me for 45 minutes as she examined my left ear and we both experienced moments of joy and connection as we filled the gaps created in the humming sequence. (See photo of this experience accompanying story) At one institution for the intellectually challenged we came face to face with stark post war conditions. Rolled barbed wire fences surrounded the building that no-one inside ever left. All 200 “inmates” were sedated with the same foul smelling drug. They were awake only 5 hours a day. This was the first year Patch had been allowed to visit this facility. Half of those we saw wore crude, torn and tattered straightjackets. Though denied access I feigned ignorance and insisted on helping with the meal. I fed and gave children fluids in one area and as I did the caregiver threw scraps of food and bread into the mouth of a boy who was straight-jacketed. As he opened his mouth to catch the bread I found myself dumbstruck with the inhumanity of this moment. When I looked into the eyes of this boy, aged about 14, I knew he was aware and my heart cried out for his plight. (Photos were not allowed in this facility.) A further facility for orphan teenagers, many with Downs Syndrome was well prepared for our visit. The lounge had been decorated, balloons were everywhere, and music was playing. The doctor played the piano accordion and they formed a welcome “guard of honor”, made all the more poignant by their old fashioned clothes and loving smiles. No words were needed here. Music and laughter was the shared experience. I almost lost Thomas here as a resident made off with him down the long corridors back to her room! We were arrested twice; once for clowning on Red Square, a public place, and again in the underground for taking photos. We were on our way to the Moscow circus and were spending an hour doing some public clowning on the entrance to Red Square, when the alert ran out that the KGB were about to have us removed and to leave the square immediately. Most escaped into a nearby mall, however Patch and ten others were taken away. They were held for 90 minutes, and then released. In both instances sums of money changed hands and release was quick. Our hotel rooms were another example of paradox. In Moscow we stayed in a pretty second rate hotel, with bare furnishings and few creature comforts. The bathrooms were abysmal and the room temperature was impossible to stabilize. An overnight train to St Petersburg was worth the loss of sleep to enjoy the experience. On arrival at the hotel in St Petersburg, there we were astounded by the giant chandeliers and the palatial surrounds. This hotel was grand by comparison, in stark contrast to the previous hotel in Moscow, and another example of the constant paradox we were exposed to. In hindsight I think a deliberate ploy to

<< < > >>

silly. My experiences at a 12 week practical philosophy class gave me meditations and exercises to use to center after an emotional experience. Combining these skills allowed me to find and spend my clown self every day without being depleted physically or emotionally. In hindsight, Cirque de Solei we were not but clown we did! Patch’s mission was achieved. We found and spent our clown selves. We experienced the disparity between rich and poor. We made Russian friends. One was Maria Elyseeva, who has founded an Arts Rehabilitation Centre called Marias Children. Marias plea to all of us at the auction of children’s art was:”We are not afraid to dream, and our dreams sometimes come true. Friends help us. People who believe in us. Then the miracle begins. To the bed of the incurable child comes the black pony….the boy without fingers creates music….Chechen children put on clown costumes… the walls of the orphanages are covered with rainbows… butterflies take you away on their wings to a magical world where there is no pain and tears. Where every child has someone who loves him. You can help …” And help we did. In partnership with an Australian clown Gaby Browarcyzyk I purchased a wall mural called “World of Harry Potter” which will tour Australasia in 2005-2006 and be a vehicle to tell the world of “Maria’s children” and help with raising funds for her work. The auction of art this year was opened by Patch and sold approximately $42,000 worth of orphan art. The orphans in Maria’s care are fine examples of how humour and art can heal. heighten our experience. We were warned about the water but old habits die hard. Almost everybody forgot to use bottled water for everything, including teeth cleaning. Even opening your mouth in the shower is risky. Sounds an exaggeration perhaps but almost every clown rued the day they forgot and suffered 48 hours of terrible stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting in some instances. Giardia is rampant and many in the past have had the lingering effects of repeated episodes. Even lettuce leaves need to be viewed with suspicion, as some facilities may have used tap water to wash vegetables. We used $360 worth of bottled water a day between us. How did we clown in the face of this? I take pleasure in saying it was easy. A few had tricks, could juggle or do some magic however this was the least of our performance. We sang our way to the steps of every facility. Once inside our task was to make immediate connections. It was about mirroring, exchanging banter, touching, kissing, holding hands, sending love, playing together, observing, listening and absolutely responding to the moment. With Improv acting training, 4 days clown school and 12 weeks of practical philosophy I was well equipped. While many of us may never pursue or achieve a life in the performing arts, we can all lead lives enhanced by the performing arts. Improv acting proved invaluable; no other art form can take you into the moment and support you to be there for indefinite periods. I failed clown school on purpose…but I did learn to loosen up practice just being

The Medical Director ay the Turner Orthopoedic hospital, which was the last facility we visited, said this, “There is a very interesting tendency in the 17 years Patch has been coming to our hospital. Every year the visit is brighter and better. As always time flies too quickly. There is only one negative moment; tonight the children will not sleep too well! We love you all very much and always wait for your return. “ I have never felt so vital or alive in my life. For 16 days solid I was “in the moment” and connecting with others at a soul level. We laughed and cried together in mute understanding. Language was not a barrier as we laid open our hearts. I spoke only 3 words in Russian. Hello goodbye and thank you! Hello is privyet, goodbye is dos vodanyah, and pacibo is thank you. I needed no other words to communicate. The fact that humour influences both business and life is doubly fixed in my mind. We spent $360,000 to get there. A further $36,000 on giveaways, $72,000 on training and preparation, and $21,000 on incidentals such as phone calls, email and sundry items. The idea of service does not just belong to the health sector or charity. The “clowns” came from all walks of life and came together for the sake of humanity.
