‘Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colours, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.’ (Rainer Maria Rilke)
There are voices calling out to us, I decided to start with a somewhat poetic quote this month, from the Austrian poet and author, Rainer Maria Rilke. I’ve chosen this one in particular, because to me, it from all those expresses the reality of how beautiful the energies of the natural world really are. beings in the All around us, the life force of spring is potently apparent. universe, So how can we make the most of it?

Myth Busters:
foolishness. It’s often in the midst of these doubts that the question arises ‘AM I WASTING MY TIME? Is it worth it?’
B y Cath y Co x , S e ni o r Or i gi n Ps yc hic.
As a reader, these are frankly impossible questions to answer, and for a number of reasons - hence the ‘Myth Buster’ categorization. First of all, no individual, (psychic readers included!) can place a value on what is worthwhile in a relationship for another person. Personal responsibility is something which always plays its part, even if the choices made are internal, emotional choices. A reader can’t, and in my opinion, shouldn’t under any circumstances determine that value. It is up to each of us to determine and take responsibility for where we put our energy, love, and attention.
Am I wasting my time? This is one of those questions, which comes up frequently in psychic readings. You have an intuition about a friendship developing into something more, but can’t see concrete signs of it happening…Your partner wants a ‘break’, or maybe has ended the relationship altogether – but you feel a strong intuition that your relationship will come back together….You’re seeing someone casually, even though your feelings are much stronger than ‘casual’ – but you’re a bit afraid that if you start setting boundaries or asking for more involvement, your lover will cut off altogether. Do any of these scenarios sound familiar? These situations occur all the time in our complex 21st century relationship lives, and they are often accompanied by intense feelings of doubt, fear, even 3
Energy Vs Time More importantly, when a client asks if they’re wasting their time, what they’re really asking is ‘Am I wasting my energy?’ When a relationship is viewed from the perspective of an ‘energy universe’, then a whole other world opens up. I often find that what helps in this kind of situation is to look at what kind of energy you’re investing in the relationship situation. Are you in a relationship where your partner isn’t really engaging or entering into the relationship as fully as you would like? What are YOU putting into the relationship? Patience,
understanding, love….. yes – this is often the case. But I’m afraid there is also often a whole lot of fear, doubt, and a lack of selfworth. A brutally honest look at yourself and your own emotions in the situation can really support you to set some boundaries, and to face the fear of rejection. I’ve seen it happen so often – a client sets a boundary with their inconsistent lover, and even if they back away, or even push those boundaries to start with, that same ‘inconsistent, casual lover’ will often start to act in a less selfish way, even if it takes a little time. The message comes through loud and clear that there are two people in the relationship, and that things are no longer going to just trundle along to suit only one of those two people. I should point out too at this point that it really is a waste of time to simply talk about this with your partner – words are cheap in this kind of situation – the boundary needs to be established with definite actions.
Who or what are you investing in? It can be terribly distressing, frustrating, and also tiring to invest energy in a relationship situation where the other person has cut off. Where there are no outward signs that the relationship will evolve, but you nevertheless have a deep knowing that your connection still exists. In this kind of situation, you often only have your intuition to tell you that there is still something there. In readings, I find that this kind of situation often calls The message comes through loud and clear for an investment in ourselves. It’s not enough to simply tell yourself you’re going to be ‘patient’ – that most demanding that there are two people in the relationship, of virtues! In energy terms, this ‘patience’ often translates and that things are no longer going to just as gritting our teeth, and controlling our desire to trundle along to suit only one of those two communicate with our lover. If you’re in this kind of situation, I’d strongly recommend you turn your people. attention inwards, even if this seems difficult at first. I should point out too at this point that it really is a Re-evaluate what you are really seeking in a relationship – has this changed? How well do you waste of time to simply talk about these issues with really know your loved one NOW? What are their your partner – words are cheap in this kind of needs, really? What are your needs, really?
Timing Vs Time Finally, it is often the case that when a client is asking about ‘time’, they are experiencing their own intuition about that very issue! If
situation – the boundaries need to be established with definite actions.
things don’t seem to be developing in your relationship life in the way you feel intuitively they’re meant to, it may simply be that the timing isn’t quite right. The energies in relationships are so complex, interwoven, multilayered, and above all, alchemical! When nothing seems to be changing in the circumstances of your relationship, it doesn’t mean that nothing is changing in the unseen inner realms – in fact, this is often where the most powerful changes are taking place. In this kind of situation, sit back, take some deep breaths, and focus your attention on the things you can do something practical about. I find that this approach often frees up the situation, dissolves your anxiety, and allows far more creative possibilities to flow in to the situation. If you were baking a casserole, you wouldn’t open the oven every five minutes to make sure it was still cooking. If
you had planted a seed, you wouldn’t dig it up every day to see if it had sprouted! It’s often the same in a relationship which needs to evolve. In this case, if you’re prepared to invest in your own needs, and give the relationship some creative space, you might just find that it evolves and deepens in ways you could not have imagined.

May Tarot S ix O f C oi n s Serendipity! This, for me, is one of the best translations of the essence of the Six of Coins. It represents those times when something, or someone, just spontaneously drops into your life, or even into your lap! There is often joy, and vitality around this card, and a sense that the universe really is a friendly place. It also seems to me that the Six of Coins is a spontaneous manifestation of the magical universe breaking through into our world. It can be an unexpected gift, or something coming to you that you simply had no idea about. Sometimes, it could appear as a block – something you had expected to happen suddenly doesn’t go ahead. Rest assured that if this happens, the magical universe is still very much looking after you. Kind of like a tree falling to block a road, when there is danger up ahead, or when the timing isn’t right for you, sometimes the universe puts something in your way – unexpectedly and in this sort of energy, suddenly. Try not to be frustrated – instead, look into the situation and see if you can find the ways in which the universe might be slowing you down for your
own good. Which ever way it flows, the Six of Coins is a wonderful, spontaneous energy, and a sign of the magical universe at work here in our world.

Control - Why it never works! by Senior Origin Psychic Michelle Walter
Do you feel your life would be happier if you weren’t being constantly blocked by other people’s issues or problems? If your answer is ‘yes’, then you most likely have a control issue of some kind. 6
Being a control freak may be OK for dictators like Colonel Gadaffi, or musical divas like Madonna. Yes - I did put those two names in the same sentence! Indeed, it might have been a very essential asset in enabling them to overcome their opponents, either literally or figuratively. But for those of us not wishing to inflict pain, and hurt of those closest to us, being a controlling person is certainly not something to aspire to. While we may not fit into the extreme examples above, most of us must confront energies of control at some point in our lives, especially when it comes to relationships. As a psychic, it is amazing how often I see people absorbed within the illusion of control. Being lost in the illusion of control doesn’t necessarily mean you are in control of a situation. Most often, people aspiring to control life tend to be in a constant state of frustration, because things just don’t keep working out as they had planned. Do you feel your life would be happier if you weren’t being constantly blocked by other people’s issues or problems? If your answer is ‘yes’, then you most likely have a control issue of some kind. Life never turns out the way we plan For people stuck in control patterns, the idea that life does not turn out to be the way we planned it is like a terrible and frightening truth. It creates insecurity and uncertainty, a feeling of being ‘out of control’. Most people stuck in control patterns spend their life vacillating between feeling happy and in control and being unhappy and out of control. I think dieting is a great example of how control never works. For many of us, there are two simple states of feeling about our bodies - I am happy, slim and eating correctly; I am miserable, overweight and eating badly. Our body becomes like a beast we are trying to control, but which simply won’t obey our mind’s orders. Your mind says ‘eat that healthy piece of celery’, and your body says: ‘Forget the celery - I want chocolate!’ Sometimes the mind wins for a while,
Control freak: (noun, informal). A person who feels an obsessive need to exercise control over themselves and others.
How to break the control cycle... Step One: Realize control never works. The biggest problem is that most people see some point in their life, or in the life of others, when they think control works. ‘Oh look - such and such a celebrity lost all that weight through going on that diet’. Of course we fail to notice that same celebrity a few months later in the ‘look who’s gained weight’ edition of the same magazine. Control is always a quick fix at best, and it will only work for so long.
and we slim down, and at other times, the body wins and we’re looking like one of those cruel ‘celebrities without makeup’ photos! In relationships, we do exactly the same kind of thing. I feel happy when my partner is telling me how much they love me, and when they’re doing all the ‘right’ things. And I am unhappy when they are not doing the ‘right’ things.
Step Two: Stop struggling to ‘get what you want’. Learn to accept what life presents you. We think our misery comes from not getting what we want in life, but most of our misery comes from struggling to control our circumstances. Learn to surrender to life and you will find that other fruits are bound to grow.
When things aren’t going ‘right’, we spend our time trying to control our partner to try to make it ‘right’ again. Of course, ‘right’ just translates as ‘what we want’ at any given time.
Letting go of control is one of the most liberating things you can do. It’s like going on a fun ride at an amusement park or floating down a stream, letting yourself be carried along by the gentle currents. Apart from anything else, it’s good to remember Step Three: Work with others to achieve your goals. Many that there is nothing more boring than a people end up feeling like they are battling against others to controlled life! Change is interesting, achieve happiness. If you believe that the world is a hostile place even if it is, at times, painful. Learn to and that people only look after themselves, then that is the world dance with the spirit of change and the you create for yourself. If you have been badly hurt before, don’t demon of control will disappear. let that poison your relationships with others.

How to make Affirmations work for you N at alie Arki n s Louise L. Hay is a big fan of affirmations and how they can change your life, and so am I. After reading her books, (start with ‘YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE’, ‘HEAL YOUR BODY’ or ‘LOVE YOUR BODY’) I started using affirmations about five years ago, and still use them to this day, because they started to work for me after previously not really working at all. By using a few simple techniques and repetition, I was able to empower the affirmations to work for me.
What you’ll need: Pen Paper Post-it Notes A Mirror
Instructions: ✦Write
down the affirmation with as much detail as possible, so that it suits you. You can also start
simply too, such as “I love and approve of myself”. ✦Always
be sure to return the affirmation to yourself from other people and beings. For example, “I love and approve of myself and the world loves and approves of me.” This means you are receiving your affirmation from your surroundings. ✦Start
saying it to yourself while looking in the mirror (this can be quite difficult, but is an important step!). Stare deeply into your eyes, and connect with higher self, and state the affirmation to yourself, as many times as you can. ✦Keep
repeating the affirmation, out loud or in your head, during the day. It may need to be repeated this often to counteract the previous years (or lifetimes?) or negative or unconscious affirmations you have been telling yourself. ✦
✦Say it with emotion. Feel your

daily life. They become a part of positive mind chatter rather than the endless negative thoughts that drift through. You may not see big changes immediately, everyone is different, but you will see changes in your life in the long term. Enjoying the process is also key, so enjoy saying your affirmations, you are worth it!
‘You cannot overstate your affirmation. 1000 times a day isn’t overdoing it!’ (Louise Hay)
Over time, your affirmations will change to suit your life, but try to make them an integral part of your 8
The Art of Forgiveness Your personal development Feature, by Bede Nicholson.
Alexander Pope said, "To err is human; to forgive, Divine." When it comes to relationships, forgiveness is easier said than done. We all like the idea that we can accept and love our partner for all their faults and failures. But when we are hurt by someone we love, it is very hard to let go of the emotional pain and memories that surround this. 9
When our partner has done something wrong, like have an affair or say something hurtful, there can be a real sense of emotional gratification we gain from emotionally punishing them. They have 'done us wrong' and forgiveness can feel like we are somehow accepting or condoning that behavior. Alternatively, forgiveness can be used as a means to try and somehow bury an issue under the guise of unconditional love. I can't keep count of how many times a client will keep enduring the same destructive behavior, telling me, "I know he treats me badly, but I forgive him because I love him." What is forgiveness? In truth, forgiveness is not about agreeing or accepting destructive behaviors; neither is it a magic wand that simply heals all problems. Forgiveness is really about letting go of our destructive emotional responses to hurt. Resentment, judgment, indignation are all natural initial responses to being hurt by someone else. We aren't saints who can just forgive at a moment's notice. Forgiveness takes time. But when we hold on to our negative emotions, they become like a poison in the relationship, that keeps resurfacing whenever problems happen. Case Study - The Affair Let us take a client of mine. Sally has been in a relationship with Brett for ten years. Brett had been having affairs on and off for the last two years. Sally knows this, but feels that she wants to make the marriage work. She has four children and has a strong sense of family values. She knows she loves Brett, but he seems to be going through a very selfish phase. Brett isn't serious about leaving the relationship, but his affairs are an outlet for escape and emotional gratification. Each time Sally has found out about an affair, she has confronted Brett. He has promised not do it again. Sally forgives him and then he does it again. Sally is now at a point where she is not sure whether she can make it work. Brett tells her that he feels
Forgiveness is the mental and/or spiritual process of ceasing to feel resentment, indignation or anger against another person for a perceived offense, difference or mistake, or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution.
How do you really forgive? Step One: The first step is very simple acknowledgment. Identify your real feelings and emotional response to hurt. Don't rationalize it and try to judge your feelings. Do you feel venomous? Do you feel like hurting him back? Accept these feelings rather than try to bury them.
trapped in the relationship and that Sally doesn't really seem to care about him, that she cares more about the kids. He wants affection but Sally seems unable to give it. Sally admits she is still very angry about his first affair but feels that Brett should be more understanding.
This story is a classic example of how not to forgive. Sally has wanted the marriage to work so she has decided not to kick Brett out, but Step Two: The second step is communication. If you in reality she hadn't really decided to forgive. bottle up your feelings, they invariably end up coming out in As I did more readings with Sally I some other way. If you are feeling hurt, angry or resentful, discovered that Sally had buried a huge your partner will most likely feel this anyway. The belief that amount of anger and resentment towards you can hide your feelings is an illusion. Brett. This anger started even before the affair, and related to Sally feeling that she Step Three: Don't wait for the other party to say they are had to always be the adult in the sorry. Many people only feel they can forgive when the other relationship and Brett behaved like a person admits they are wrong. This often leads to an emotional child. As Sally became increasingly stalemate in the relationship, where each party waits for the other dismissive towards him, Brett looked person to admit their faults. Forgiveness is not conditional on the to another woman who would see him other person's acceptance of their faults. This is because as more of a man. Neither Brett nor forgiveness is about healing yourself. Forgiveness is the ultimate act Sally had the skills to communicate of self-love. You may be also be surprised to discover that once you how they really felt, and of course, truly forgive, this creates a space for the other person to accept the problem just kept getting responsibility. Anger and resentment create defensive blocks in the worse. other person. When a person feels your forgiveness they are more prepared to open up about their feelings. 10
How different this situation could have been if the simple healing art of forgiveness was fully understood. For Sally, forgiveness was really about putting up and shutting up, rather than about learning to heal the hurt she felt about Brett's lack of emotional responsibility. Brett never really forgave Sally for her coldness and inability to deal with the relationship. The art of healing forgiveness is really about understanding that forgiveness is not about absolving other people of their faults, but about you healing your own hurts and anger so you can begin to move forward in your life. Once fully realized, true forgiveness can be one of the most liberating experiences of your relationship.

Be your own Psychic Th e A nc ien t Or a c l e Of The ‘I Ch in g’ . The I Ching is a 3000 year old Chinese form of divination, which uses a sophisticated system of symbols, words and mythical stories to act as a ‘mirror’ for what is occurring for the person having the reading. The title literally means ‘Book of Changes’, but it is referring to a very particular kind of change, where something a bit more out of the ordinary is happening. Essentially, you ask a question, and the oracle guides you in what you can do about your situation, and it will offer you a particularly empowering way to manage whatever ‘change’ is going on in your life. To consult the I ching, you first must have your question quite clear in your mind - perhaps even write it down. Then you build a hexagram - a series of 6 lines. These lines are either solid - yang, or broken, yin. There are different techniques, but one of the simplest is to use
different coloured marbles in a bowl. Place 7 marbles of one colour (these will represent stable yin), 5 of another colour (stable yang), 3 of yet another colour (changing yang) and 1 of a fourth colour (changing yin). While thinking about your question, slowly stir the marbles in the bowl with your eyes closed. When you feel ready, take one marble, and draw a line as follows, according to the colour you draw from the bowl.
Stable Yang Stable Yin
Figure 54 - ‘Marrying the Maiden’ This figure represents a radical change of state, over which you have no control. But it brings you to where you truly belong - where you can fulfill your real destiny and access your hidden potential. It is best that you accept this change, and allow the positive forces of the universe to lead you forwards. Do your best not to impose your will, or to try to control the way things are moving. If you allow yourself to be lead, you can find great happiness and success. ‘This figure represents the spontaneous movement of a being who, by yielding to the overwhelming force of the spirit, fulfills its true destiny. The term was used to describe all relations outside the norms, irregular relationships based on passion, which lead to major changes.’ (Stephen Karcher - Total I Ching)
✴
Changing Yang
✴
Changing Yin
You need to do this six times - returning each marble to the bowl after you have drawn your line. You will end up with a series of 6 lines - your first line is on the bottom. You end up with a hexagram, which you then match with one of 64 possibilities. These are consistent, no matter which edition of the ‘I Ching’ you have. It may seem to be a little complicated at first, but the I Ching is an incredibly powerful and accurate tool. It is as acute and supportive for today’s world as it was in ancient times! # #

Relax... Renew... Regenerate... B y Managin g D ire cto r, R o d N ich olson Our first guests of the season have now enjoyed the experience of the Educere Centre on the Isle of Skye. We have already had very encouraging feedback and we are only just beginning. I hope more and more of you will become our guests on the beautiful Isle of Skye. We have this period of time in our life when we go to school and maybe to university. It is called our education. We ask questions like, "Where were you educated?" "Where did you go to school?" "What was your university?" "What degree did you do?" The answers to these questions are often markers of self regard and according to how we can answer, we feel good about ourself or, sadly, often rather shame faced. What we consider our education has a significant role to play in our outward self esteem in our society. The truth is that it is a pretty shallow way of judging or assessing someone. I have been a teacher all my life - I ended up as principal of a large secondary school. I have taught all kinds of children. I have employed people with all kinds of qualifications. One of the things that I have done in my mind as I have
gone through life is to draw a clear distinction between schooling and education. I have met and taught quite a few men and women who have gone to the highest reaches of our schooling system, getting themselves a doctorate in medicine, science or some other discipline. They have had the top schooling, but have they been educated?
The Educere Centre is about education in the real meaning of the word. How do we draw forth from ourselves our own knowledge of the universe, which lies within us to an infinite capacity. We are all one with the universe and the resources of the universe are part of our being. The information we acquire from schooling is just a little blip, however qualified we become, in comparison to the wisdom and real knowledge that lies within ourselves. When you have this understanding of education, then it is a never ending process in our life and a
wonderful journey into the universe within ourselves. It is a journey that involves our feelings and intuition and our thinking mind has only a part to play. This is why Caladh on the Isle of Skye is such a wonderful place to go in order to deepen our own educational process. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world and above all there is a magic to the land and the sea that resonates with our being and brings forth from within us deep and strong feelings. I have experienced it personally many times. I have been away from Skye and spent time in others countries, but I always look forward to coming back to Skye and feeling the land, the sky and the sea. I love to let the silence and solitude of Skye penetrate into my bones, to relax my body and feel my Oneness with the universe. It is a very healing experience. I hope that some of you will be able to come along and enjoy the experience with me. You are all welcome to share and help me on my educational journey through the universe which is unending, mysterious, enchanting and very enjoyable. I like to believe that my university is the universe.
