Sage Magazine and Soul Traveller Radio were delighted to see so many inspirational teachers, artists and exhibitors gather together for the global good. As editor I end (and begin anew) with the words of Laurence Carauna “From the trackless ways in the invisible desert, the solitary wanderers are slowly emerging. Their many paths crossing and combining. And, with childlike wonderment, they find themselves sharing the same horizon. The landscape, though invisible, is seen by all – for it is the ancient image-language that allows them, together, to speak - to communicate and to comprehend…” May all Soul Travellers find their authentic voice and share it with reckless abandon…..all love.

Chanting with children by shayne locke & kitzie stern

in this month’s soul traveller radio special we chat with some of kirtan’s favourite artists about mantras for kids.

ISSUE 06

SAGE magazine

”I was born to the sound of my father chanting the Gayatri mantra. Through my childhood I chanted the Gayatri as a bedtime song... It was something normal to me.”

DEVa Premal

This month we chat with some of the most popular artists in Kirtan music and discuss how chanting with children is such a vital element in their lives and the lives of their children. Kitzie Stern from New World Kirtan caught up with Donna DeLory and Vijay Krsna at this year’s Bhakti Fest. Deva Premal shares her thoughts about growing up with the Gayatri Mantra and Sukhdev Jackson from Aykanna talks about how mantra music saved her life and the impact it has now had on her daughter...

Over the last few issues, Sage Magazine and Soul Traveller Radio have delved into the world of bhakti and discovered that the rise of conscious music has been a steady one with no sign of decline. This rise has now been passed onto a new generation. Yoga Journalist, Shannon Sexton, earlier this year in the Huffington Post described the generation as yoga-children...” kids who have learned yoga from their friends, their school teachers, or their yoga-practicing parents. They’re learning how to calm down and find peace through musical meditations such as kirtan and other forms of mantra singing.”

deva premal Discussions with Deva Premal lead us to her own father Wolfgang and the Gayatri Mantra. Deva recently wrote a very personal blog which brought light to her mantra experience. “I was born to the sound of my father chanting the Gayatri Mantra,” she says, “Through my childhood I chanted the Gayatri as a bedtime song... It was something normal to me.

As I grew up we continued to chant the Gayatri Mantra together regularly before I went to sleep. I didn’t really know what I was singing... and why. I just did it because I was told to. It wasn’t Of course the mantra child is not just the product until much later that I came to appreciate these of yoga practices, children learn from all forms of spiritual streams, diligently watching their parents precious times. go about their personal practice, be it meditation, Other spiritual practices my father had me do was singing or devotion. to say the mantra ‘Om’ whenever I put something down on the table, or say ‘Ram’ when I switched So how can we as families do as Ms Sexton on a light. This was to increase my awareness.” describes...”Slow down, connect with each other and enjoy the present moment?” Granted, Deva did not have the “normal” childhood; her family had neither a television or Mantra musicians such as the bestselling duo, comfy couch to sit on. Deva’s desire for a normal Deva Premal & Miten, Donna De Lory, Vijay Krsna of the Kirtaniyas and Sukhdev Jackson of Aykanna lifestyle however was outweighed by her love for devotion. suggest chanting mantras with your children.

”I associated KIRTAN, as a child with joy, with happiness.”

VIJAY KRSNA

At age 9, Deva developed a short lived interest in Christianity only to turn her attention towards her spiritual teacher, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh later known to the world as Osho.

Deva’s childhood mantra singing has come full circle with the latest Mantras For Life album which features a track called “Kumara Mantra (Blessing the Children).”

It was much later when Deva would once again reconnect with the mantra she grew up with, the mantra that shaped her life and led her down a path that we are all so grateful that she decided to tread, because it has helped her become one of the foremost mantra singers in the world along with her partner Miten whom she met at Osho’s ashram..

vijay krsna - the kirtaniyas

“One day I heard the Gayatri Mantra being sung by a friend in England,” she says. “It was a different version to the one I had grown up with, and knowing the text so well, I was touched and excited by what I heard. I felt re-connected. This time I could feel the power of the mantra as never before, the strong effect it had on me and the sacredness of it. We began featuring it in our concerts. At last I had found my song! I had found something that felt like ‘mine.’ I felt at home with it and I watched as it touched people night after night. I began searching out more mantras and before I knew it, I soon had enough for my first album! We recorded it in my mother’s flat--the same one I was born in, where the Gayatri Mantra had been sung to me all those years before.”

Like Deva Premal, Vijay Krsna grew up surrounded by mantras, but for him they came in the form of kirtan, a call-and-response style of mantra practice. The lead singer in The Kirtaniyas alongside his wife Sarasvati, Vijay received his very first order from his beloved Guru “to always be engaged in Kirtan”. He puts his devotion and love for mantras down to chanting as a child. Although Vijay plays the traditional kirtan sound, the band have recently been experimenting with music for the younger audience with The Beat Generation, a mixtape produced as a collaboration with DJ Drez and performing at high energy events like The Color Run Festivals. “From a young age as a child, 5 or 6 years old, I associated the mantra chanting, specifically Kriya Kirtan, high energy kirtan...I associated that, as a child with joy, with happiness.” Vijay grew up in the UK in an ashram environment under the teachings and devotions of the Hare Krishnas.

SAGE magazine

on Vijay completely shaped his life; a dedication that he hopes to instill on everyone who comes to listen to the Kirtaniyas play their fusion of traditional and modern kirtan. “I have seen my parents suffer as a kid with a broken home...but this was a place where everyone was ecstatically jumping and chanting and together it was something quite extraordinary, for some reason it was so captivating. It was enough for me to get with it for the rest of my life.” Chanting is that important to Vijay, he makes all of his albums available as a “name your price” download for anyone.

donna delory If there is one singer that knows the impact that music has on children it is Donna DeLory; who spent her early music career as backup singer to one of pop music’s greatest idols, Madonna and now sees the impact the new pop artists, like Katy Perry, have on her own children. Donna, now an established and well sought after Kirtan artist has begun to see the effects of mantras on her two girls, 11 and 5. “Every weekend we would go to the temple and there would be festivals, famous festivals like The Chariot Festival (Ratha-Yatra, a famous Krishna festival). So I would spend all of my week at school, excited to go to the temple on Sunday to chant with the monks.

“I started them very early on. They have been hanging out with me, listening to mantras, He Ma Durga is their favourite song. They both wanted that song over and over again when they were babies and toddlers.”

In the same way that mantras in music saved the life of Sukhdev, the same mantra practice can help in the growth and development of children surrounded by kirtan.

Here are some links of mantras and positive conscious music to help you start chanting with your children:

SAGE magazine

The visionary artwork of Krystleyez (Krystle Smith) captured both my attention and my heartfelt desire to feel a Divine connection to the Source of All That Just Is. I was intrigued by the sheer vulnerability of her journey as a performance artist and found her written expression of the beautiful intention and gift she contributes to the global sacred space equally as captivating as her visual creations….read her offering with an open heart… “From the trackless ways in the invisible desert, the solitary wanderers are slowly emerging. Their many paths crossing and combining. And, with childlike wonderment, they find themselves sharing the same horizon. The landscape, though invisible, is seen by all – for it is the ancient image -language that allows them, together, to speak to communicate, and comprehend. Even song is added to their speech, as their artworks become the ancient image-poems offering visions of the beginning, middle, and end of all things. This ancient image-language, otherwise forgotten, is now being spoken once more.” ~Laurence Caruana “The First Manifesto of Visionary Art” I believe that artists are the mapmakers of the collective mythos, illuminating the expansive pathways back to our shared Source through visions that nourish and inspire. The role of the “visionary artist” is to reveal the hidden, inner and outer universes of Creation…to make visible both multidimensional and archetypal realms of our waking/dream realities through an emotional language of colour, form, pattern and symbolism. Hermann Hesse once said, “All images are open gates through which the soul may enter when it is ready. Here you and me and everything is all one.” I began live painting at small music venues in 2005, never having seen or heard of such a thing as “live painting” before. Painting while being enraptured by beautiful music and community felt like a natural evolution for the realms of art and performance. Additionally, the notion of calling on immense focus and skill to complete a painting over the course of a few hours, or a weekend, both eluded

ISSUE 06

and intrigued me. While people watching me as I created initially (and to this day) exposes a very vulnerable part of myself, I deeply recognized how improvisational live painting opened up critical doorways of creativity and consciousness for both myself and those around me. In 2007, I started to paint at festivals. I’d usually be “invited” to paint, but once I arrived at the festival site (unless I was painting onstage), I would often find myself wandering around aimlessly in search of where to set up, access electricity, etc. and in the end, I would frequently end up on the side of the stage in the crowd trying my very best not to get trampled. I quickly met many other live painters from around the country and within moments of these divine encounters, we immediately forged deep lasting bonds. A mutual understanding of our path, built upon a shared purpose to spread light and higher consciousness through art was born between us. Yet at the core of our relationships, we also recognized we’d each been facing similar obstacles in sustaining ourselves while generously sharing our visions with the world. Our mission was a challenging one and required us to discover ways to embody our life’s highest purpose while still ensuring we are cared for and supported in the process. Now, festivals such as Rootwire embrace all of their listed artists whether musical or otherwise as equal contributors and fully nurture and support their creative intentions over the duration of the event. Live painting serves as a bridge for the awakening of the creator that resides within us all. It is an invitation to understand art as a process, rather than a product, of self-expression and active dreaming. Ultimately, I foresee a future where there is no longer a need for defining terms such as “live-painter” because the entire manner upon which we gather together will have evolved to support all creative offerings through a true sense of commUnion. Liberated from ego, fear, doubt, and greed…. we have the opportunity to co*create a global renaissance of peace built upon a genuine, loving, cooperative, philanthropic approach to life. By fostering the growth of cultural offerings such as art, workshops, collaborations, installations,

ceremonies, conscious celebrations and sacred spaces in which we can gather… together, we can carry the spirit of global tribal community onward – strengthening the foundation of our lives through a harmonious exchange of inspiration, knowledge, skills, resources and energy. For any successful collaboration, the sharing must be built upon an honoring of each participant’s ability and value even if the technique, style, and skill set employed varies dramatically from our own. Trusting in the unique beauty and integrity of the offering creates a well balanced integration of energies. This is especially important in collaborative painting. The humble acceptance of one another’s flow allows for the manifestation of a space where everyone’s style melds and emerges together in a harmonious dance, winding around and through each other like the strands of DNA. Expanding, refining, evolving our unified Vision through our creativity. When we collaborate effectively, the deeper we allow ourselves to enter into the expanse of potential, without our egos guiding the way, the greater the feeling of resolution and clarity of the work accomplished. When we surrender to the divine flow, we become open channels for universal, creative life-force to emerge through us. The power of collaboration, when harnessed by a

group of loving, conscious individuals is absolutely endless. Our capacity for healing, both on a personal and global scale, can only be measured by our ability and willingness to co*create harmoniously. By working together with enlightened intentions of sharing love, wisdom, creative expressions, healing and resources, we have a unique capacity to develop a culture that can thrive in any environment. Cooperation and collaboration are fundamental to our very existence. This is the most important lesson that has been consistently reinforced on my journey to date. In the words of Terence McKenna, “When we free ourselves, we are not freed into the Void. When we free ourselves, we are freed into the dimension in which art is a responsibility. This is the great turning point.” And so it is. The tides are turning and our heartsongs are resounding with increasing clarity, healing, and celebration as we remember to honor this co*creative essence within us and around us, to embrace our role as responsible creators and explore new ways that we can support each other, our commUnities and our beloved Gaia.

TO BELIEVE OR NOT TO BELIEVE rock journo, scott podmore, takes us on a two year journey into the other side with his latest book ”conversations with mediums”

ISSUE 06

SAGE magazine

A couple of months ago, an email passed through our office that intrigued us. Scott Podmore is a well known journalist for some prominent Australian publications and the author of the book Icons of Australian Music: Jimmy Barnes. Obviously running Soul Traveller Radio, our interest was sparked, given the music connection. What was of more interest was the topic of his new book - Conversations with Mediums. I had the opportunity to catch up with Scott at the Festival of Dreams in Sydney to chat about his new direction. “It is such a cross-section of people who read this book. It is a subject that completely polarises people. There has however been a shift in consciousness with people finding their own truth now...looking for answers. It is a book I started out writing, thinking the subject would be about death and fear, only to realise halfway through that I was actually writing a book about love and faith.”

To listen to the full interview with Scott, tune in to Soul Traveller Radio or listen to it on Soundcloud here. Sage Magazine is proud to present two excerpts from Conversations with Mediums. The first excerpt is with the world reknowned John Edwards and the second is with Terry & Linda Jamison, the psychic twins of New York.

john edward As a child, John Edward was surrounded by wolves. In his bedroom. Down the street. Everywhere. The problem was, no one else saw them. ‘‘It wasn’t like I was The Sixth Sense kid,’’ Edward says of his childhood in Queens, New York. ‘‘I wasn’t seeing dead people walking around back then. The only thing I can say in retrospect was that I had very, very vivid dreams and I was plagued by night terrors as a child. And I always used to see a wolf as a kid. I would see wolves everywhere.’’

I was intriged to know how Scott started his journey with the book and surprised to find out Edward, settling back into his seat opposite, is the person who prompted his two year journey, interviewing over 30 mediums around the world, engaging and obviously comfortable talking was the last to commit to the book - John Edward. about his abilities, to which he has dedicated much of the past 25 years. He seems down to earth. Psychic phenomena and mediums polarise “I originally conducted a 1 hour interview with John Edward for a newspaper article. It was such a the masses. But despite people’s views, Edward great chat, we really connected. But when I asked has an enormous global following. Whether you think those people are vulnerable, gullible or on him to be interviewed for the book he orginally to something most others aren’t, they take him said no. I totally respected that because I knew seriously. The 43-year-old says a lot of what he he had contractual obligations with a publisher; experienced during childhood didn’t make sense however a year later, after kind of stalking him until much later. (laughs), I met up with him for a three hour coffee, after which he agreed to be in the book.” ‘‘As a child I started to recognise I wasn’t as normal as I thought I was. I always had these experiences, For someone that keeps himself so guarded, to but I just didn’t call them anything,’’ he says. ‘‘I have John Edward as the lead story was such an remember very specifically saying to my mother, honour. John also offered him guidance, telling ‘Why didn’t you tell me that I was different?’ And Scott to brace for the flack he may receive after she said, ‘I told you all the time you were special . writing a book of this nature. . . you used to do things, know things, say things, and I just didn’t want to make a big deal about it’.’’ Whilst the view on the book is very polarised, Scott has found that even the hardened skeptic So, what was it that the wolves represented wants to read it. when he was a boy? It turns out to be quite the epiphany. In 1998, Edward’s first book One “A friend of mine said ‘Poddy’ (my nickname), I Last Time was released and he was doing the think all this is frog shit. But I can’t wait to read promotional rounds in the mid-west of the it...just in case it isn’t!”

ISSUE 06

”Through meditation and prayer I can clear my mind, I have no connection to the person I’m reading for and whatever comes through, I react to it” JOHN EDWARD United States when an American Indian shaman approached him. ‘‘He walked over to me at the book signing,’’ he says. ‘‘He looked down next to me, and then at me, and said, ‘Oh, I see in this life you walk with the wolf ’. And I looked at him and I was like, ‘What?’ And he said: ‘The wolf, it’s your animal guide, your totem. Haven’t you ever seen the wolf?’ That guy had no idea what a statement that was for me. It was a huge validation and nobody believed me as a kid that I could see it.’’ As a psychic medium, author and lecturer for more than two decades, many believe Edward has helped thousands with his claims of communicating with those who have crossed over and offering guidance. But for every believer, there’s a non-believer. Edward says the skeptics are vital in these days when there’s a charlatan around every corner.

He also believes there is a ‘‘planetary shift’’ taking place, resulting in a more spiritually aware society. But he says we should be focusing on developing our ‘‘abilities’’ for the purposes of making informed and empowered choices in our own lives—as not all of us can be mediums. With respect to the other mediums, Edward was the most important—for me personally—to be featured in this book project. And it wasn’t easy to get him to agree to it. Understandably, he prefers to do things his own way and is cautious about being included in projects with others. He flies solo for his own peace of mind and integrity and that I respect.  Reluctant at first, it took a lot of pestering after our initial excellent interview for a feature that appeared in Australia’s biggest newspaper, the Herald Sun, before he gave me the green light

SAGE magazine

to include this chapter on him—including a long conversation over coffee in a cafe where we managed to solve the world’s problems! And also find a little time to talk about family life and our children, of similar ages, among other things. John Edward is a “good bloke”, if you will please excuse my Aussie parlance. I take this opportunity to thank him wholeheartedly. Edward gives Conversations With Mediums not only an enormous boost thanks to his high profile, but most importantly for the thoroughly engaging and insightful content within this chapter that takes the book to a whole new level. I appreciate his guidance on what I should expect in the aftermath of producing such a book like this.

THE INTERVIEW . . . SP: Thanks very much for giving me this opportunity to speak with you. JE: No problem, it’s a pleasure. Tell me, how do you discern what is an energy or spirit connection and not your own imagination?

I do believe in reincarnation but I don’t believe we come back that quick. But I do think there’s a process of what happens over there. But what is ‘over there’ like? The only thing I do believe is, conceptually, is to think about the internet. A very grand place with many, many places and many, many different levels. Some very positive and some not so. And we have to be very aware about where we go. You can’t go there with a physical body but you can go there with consciousness. And to access it from this world you need to have some sort of conduit. And that conduit can be a medium or that conduit can be a prayer. It’s your choice. Again, I try to only give people the general broad strokes of understanding of a bigger picture. And I’ve actually had private readings where the information coming through is so profound that I would ask my own questions, like ‘What do you do? What’s it like?’ And they won’t answer me because they don’t want to take up their time lowering their frequencies answering my questions when they want to talk to their daughter. So they have their own agenda of why they’re coming through. Tell me about babies who leave us very early and haven’t formed their human personality— how do they re-present as souls? It’s obviously a sensitive issue and one difficult to comprehend in terms of a baby that hasn’t even spoken yet, let alone shown its parents a personality. Is it a case of a soul coming through briefly for a parent’s life lesson?

If I don’t have any connection with the person I’m sitting with, I actually have a clean slate with which I can simply watch what gets put up on it, whether it be a thoughtful word, a symbol or a feeling. Through meditation and prayer I can clear my mind, I have no connection to the person I’m reading for and whatever comes through, I react to Sure. I also think sometimes they make the choice it. to come in to have the experience of it. Have you ever come into a movie late and missed the first So meditation is the process with which you have 10 minutes? to initiate the connection or can it, in fact, be a random process, like you’re in any situation and Yes, several times. they’re trying to come through? And then maybe when it arrives on TV what do you I think anyone who does this work can constantly do? be bombarded from energy trying to get through and then that acts as the stimulus to get you to I guess I’ll just watch that first portion of it to see pay attention and from that stimulus various what I missed the first time around. things can take place. That’s why its very important through meditation to practice so that Exactly, so why don’t we watch the whole movie you can navigate the real world without having to again? be bombarded by the energies of the living/their dead relatives who might be trying to get your Ummm . . . I suppose we just want to see what we attention if they’re around them. missed? Do you believe in reincarnation?

Right, sometimes when an energy comes in it just wants to see that first 10 minutes of the movie

THE INTERVIEW . . . SP: Hi Terry and Linda, thanks for having me. From my understanding you guys were aware of your gifts at a young age but it took a while before you really started developing those psychic skills. Tell me when it started for you guys? TJ/LJ: We were born with our psychic gifts, and had many experiences as children predicting events. We were in our Twenties when we started predicting careers for our friends and deliberately working to develop our gifts. In what way? Well, working to develop it for hours every day. Starting in our teens, we began to struggle with several chronic, painful illnesses that have persisted for our entire lives. We feel we had to hone our innate psychic abilities just to survive. You obviously are so in tune with each other you obviously feel each other’s pain as much as happiness. And you believe you are actually one soul in two people, is that correct? We are what’s called a bifurcated soul, which means one soul expressed in two bodies. Not many twins are bifurcated, even if they are identical. But you are identical? We are also identical twins, which means one egg that splits into two. A genetic Xerox copy with the same DNA—authentic clones! However, we work ‘like two wings of a bird.’ This is a Buddhist expression which means we work in unity as one being. Tell me how you source your information, the process of how it actually works and is automatic writing the tool you use? Our book Psychic Intelligence addresses this question in great depth and was released in May of 2011. Most of our information is channeled from “One”, the angelic realm that we are a part of. We use the technique of automatic writing or

“channeled writing” to access information fields, a kind of cosmic library known as the Akashic Records. The Akasha contains all thought word and deed historically. The automatic writing process works the same way for both of us. We usually sit side by side on the sofa writing our predictions. We can be in two different places and receive the same information. How do you know that it’s not coming from your own subconscious? Having practiced psychic work for over 20 years, we are experts at discerning whether or not the information is coming from an outside entity or from our own subconscious minds. Early on, we could tell that we were channeling because words and personality come in that we can tell is distinct from ourselves. We sense a particularly charged energy in the channeling process; it is palpable, emotional and physical. Speaking of which, it must have been quite a heavy kind of experience when you channeled the September 11 terrorist attack on the Twin Towers? In our first book Separated at Earth, we describe in detail our legendary 9/11 prediction. As you know, Scott, we are the only psychics in the world who publicly predicted the events of the 9/11 World Trade Center bombing, and the attack on the Pentagon, with proof of this on tape. On George Noory’s Coast To Coast radio show, right? Actually it was on the Art Bell Show, Coast to Coast AM, Premier Radio, November 2, 1999. Can you tell me how that happened? That day, we both focused on predictions for the new millennium, which we were going to share that evening on Art Bell’s show. We were astonished when we compared notes and discovered that we had both written in capital letters “New York City, World Trade Center, terrorist attacks by 2002, federal government buildings also attacked, Bin Laden, United, American . . . 5000 perish”. We do not usually get visions of our prophecies, except in dreams. As artists, we are clairvoyant and this does assist us

THE GOLDEN LIGHT a sage magazine healing special

ISSUE 06

SAGE magazine

rememberance & golden light Our bodies are wonderfully made. Each cell within us has everything we need to withstand the greatest of tribulations, emotionally and physically. They contain deep memories that when activated can bring about a healing change sometimes to levels that are perceived as miraculous, when in actual fact it is the body’s right to be well, healthy and whole. Over the last few years, people have been opening up in such a way that this incredible shift in energy has brought about many healings and activated many on the healing path. Within this feature you will meet people who use different modalities to help the body transform on a deep cellular level. From transference to resonance, astral travel to the laying on of hands, although different at first, have two common elements that seem to be reoccurring. The first is remembrance. Remembrance within our very core of what it was like to have a body that was free from sickness both mental and physical. This activation of cellular memory can result in changes. Whether it is the emotional memories that are returned to us through the action of tapping (EFT) or something as simple as painting, or the physical memories of what the original Adam Kadmon body was capable of, one thing is key to the transformation. Remembering who

we are and that we have the right to be healthy. The second ancient element that is becoming more and more prevalent is the Golden Light, the channelling of the energy to heal. Whether it is the golden light that Osho described in his many meditations, flowing through our body like honey or the golden orbs filled with diamond light as described in Tao traditions, the energy of the golden light can activate and stimulate our cells into the remembrance that is required for the healing process to commence. As Dr Lee Vickers, author of Bodies of Light describes, “Across the WORLD there is a ”shift” happening. You have probably even noticed this shift within yourself. You may have ”felt” there was something more than just skin deep. You can be, do or have your best life. You just have to open up to the light that was always there.” Our first two articles are about two healers that share more things in common than just their names. John Martin is a healer from France that helps us understand who we can become and assists us in healing ourselves. The second is John of God who hails from Brazil and is being used as an instrument of God to activate massive healings within people all over the world. We hope that these articles serve to start your journey on the road towards health and wellness...our true nature and interconnectedness with the world around us.

john martin healer

by shayne locke

An intuitive healer, John Martin knew at a very young age that he was given a gift. People would call him the sponge due to his ability to absorb thoughts, emotions and feelings. With this also came the ability to soak up sadness and sickness. “To be honest, as a child it wasn’t nice to be like this. I was able to absorb but I wasn’t able to release it from me. This resulted in me being constantly sick and laying on my bed for hours, weeks and sometimes months.” John went to see over 300 different healers to help him release the pain he was experiencing. They would help him but all it achieved was renewing the cycle. A woman being beaten by her husband four blocks away or a child being abused next door, John could feel the pain regardless of distance. Thirty years on, a successful property investor and business man, John was on an investment property trip near Lordes when he was prompted to pay a visit. It was this simple act that resulted in his life changing forever. “I went to Lordes and as soon as my feet touched the floor and my head touched the stone, I felt a connection, an energy field from my feet to my head and back again. It lasted 10 to 12 seconds and at that moment I knew something had shifted. In that holy place I started to receive messages from my guides that they were going to reveal my mission to me.” During the night John was awoken by his guides, and told that he had to give everything away and it would take several years before he could commence. John began the process of release, removing everything until there was nothing left except his gift. “It was a complete step of faith however whatever message you receive, if it shines so brightly inside of you then it is truth. If we are shining our light brightly, imagine how it affects others we meet during our daily work. I began following the words they wanted me to say and I have been seeing people coming with pain they have had for years, leaving pain free.” John doesn’t need to touch for the healing to take affect because the healing is within us waiting for us to activate it. Like other light workers on the planet, John describes what is happening as a shift in vibration that is becoming more prominent.

“More and more people are able to express their gifts now. Everybody has the capacity to be a catalyst for change. Everybody is talking about it. It is time for us to believe that everything is possible. There are no limits.” John travels the world, healing people using his gift and techniques such as DNA encoding and reprograming, modifying and repairing cells, karmic links erasure and modification, regression therapy, repairing aura leaks, and realigning auras. During the last few years John has healed and transformed the lives of hundreds of people including artists, filmmakers, athletes, celebrities, researchers and large groups in Europe. Travelling the world, on nothing but faith and relying on his guides, John has been called to help people become who they are supposed to be.

“Your heart is your GPS in your life. It tells you if you go too far left or too far right. It tells you if you are on the right path. Your mind gives you only answers to the simple questions you ask of it. Your mind can tell you where the next bus station is and what the answer to 2 + 3 is. But never ask your mind to answer or make a choice about something that is to be felt in your heart. Your heart must always make those choices.” People who attend John’s workshops feel a vibration, a shift; like a screen that opens up in front of them, helped by John to see who they really are. “I ask them only one question. Do you believe it is possible? We all have the ability to heal ourselves. We just have to believe.” We are blessed to have a new radio show commencing this month on Soul Traveller Radio called Become Who You Are on Monday nights at 7pm hosted by John Martin.

joão de deus - john of god

by tanya allison

John of God had been in my awareness for a very long time – I have heard snippets of information of people sending medical records to his home base in the tiny village of Abadiania in Brazil or undertaking a personal pilgrimage to visit this location along with the thousands of other global citizens seeking healing and a more powerful connection to their spirituality – so it was a very natural ‘yes’ to assist with the sponsorship of his upcoming Australian tour. João Teixeira de Faria is a simple farmer with a profound spiritual gift, he is without a doubt one of the most powerful channeling mediums and healers alive today. João has been working at the Casa de Dom Inacio for over 30 years. There are some thirty three entities he channels at the Casa, so named after one of the entities, St Ignatius de Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. He offers his life’s work completely free of charge. “I do not heal anyone. The one who heals is God, who in his infinite goodness allows the benevolent spirits to use me as a tool, providing healing and consolation to my brothers and sisters. I am truly only an instrument in his divine hands. Having been a gem miner, I have learned that in order for a precious stone to show its true beauty, it must first suffer the process of refinement. Likewise, each child, a rare diamond of creation, must be polished in order to realize their superior destination. Great suffering is generate as a consequence of the world going through great

transformation. In the midst of this, the ability to sustain our lives and strengths must reside in our trust in the supreme being who is God.” John of God walks with the doctrine of Spiritism – introduced by Allan Kardec around 1855, no bells and whistles here, just a deep reverence for Jesus and an open heart working with the spirit of truth and an acceptance of mediumship. Brazil has deep roots in the traditions of shamanism and spiritism, both of which embrace the notion that individuals can—and do— cross the boundaries between this worldly existence and the afterlife. So João is the medium assisted by the Entities….the initial realization of his gift was accompanied by years of persecution, which in no way stopped him from his mission to aid anyone who requested it, which over time saw him help such high-profile politicians as the president of Peru and transformed his status to now virtually a national treasure. The actual healing process is unique to every individual – it is stressed that you must actively participate in your own healing through mind, body and spirit. Josie Ravenwing is one of many who guides groups through the ‘Casa protocol’, she shares “So the best approach is to come to the Casa open to miracles and fast results, and at the same time to be patient, participate fully in your own process, and trust in the healing power of Love – the most powerful medicine that exists and one that permeates the work of the Casa.” Fortunately for many, distance healing is a beautiful option and after reading a huge number of testimonials the results are equally as powerful as being physically present at the Casa….your photograph is scanned by the Entities through John of God and the appropriate herbs and action are than advised, the Entities now co-create with you on your healing journey. One does not specifically have to be ill to receive the benefits of the phenomenon of John of God; the opportunity to be cured of illness, freed of pain, to have more energy, more love in our hearts, a total sense of well-being, good health and to feel that we contribute our gifts to the world is something we all wish for. Gail Thackray (who will be presenting at Conscious Living Festival Perth in October) is a life coach, spiritual educator and author of Gail Thackray’s Spiritual Journeys: Visiting John of God. Gail had a profound experience that completely changed her life direction, “I had asked John of God for help with a business issue that was clouding my life at the time. After going in front of the great sage, I was led to meditate in a nearby chapel room while a short closing prayer was given. As I was sitting there, my mind completely occupied with my business question, I was not at all in a meditative

state. Then all of a sudden, as if out of nowhere, I seemed to be engulfed by a beautiful white light. So strong and beautiful was the accompanying feeling that I instantly burst into tears of joy. This was the most overwhelming feeling I had ever felt in my life, like the feeling of being in love for the first time but a hundred times greater. Then a voice came to me, like a man standing beside me. “But what is your higher purpose?” the voice said. The meaning behind the voice was: why are you worrying about all of this? This feeling, this moment, this is what it is like to be on your life’s purpose. This is what you should strive for. At that moment I said, “I want to share this with others.” The voice came back and said, “So be it!” People who experience John of God will often say it was life changing; not only can the spirits bring balm to physical challenges, they offer healing at a very deep soul level, removing karmic ties, restoring peace and harmony in relationships and connecting people to their life purpose. When questioned about the authenticity of his healings John of God made a point that’s hard to deny. “You can fool the people for one to two years. But you cannot fool people for 45 years.” It is incredibly exciting to be welcoming John of God to Australian shores, an extraordinary opportunity to experience deep healing and personal transformation over three days of prayer and meditation at the event in Sydney. All participants will stand before John of God and the Entities and receive a communication through a translator. John of God is not a speaker. He may be on stage for a brief introduction at some point during the event, but his work is done in silence and a huge space of love is held for everyone to expand and deepen their connection and love for God.

The video below is Part 1 of Dr Wayne Dyer discussing his remote leukemia healing that he experienced with John of God. Part 2 can be viewed here.

GROUNDING

the golden link in your chain of good by laura koniver, MD

ISSUE 06

When I was a kid, mucking through our garden or playing barefoot in a ditch or wading through neighborhood creeks were all my favorite things to do. I had a best friend all throughout childhood, and I remember clearly having so much fun doing the army crawl through a river with her, pretend playing that we were soldiers but then stopping to laugh and smear mud all over our faces and lay in the sun for a quick “spa treatment.” I remember being in high school with her when a sudden downpour after classes let out quickly overflowed the ditches around the soccer fields. We had so much fun running and sliding and literally diving into those ditches, I laughed so hard I peed my pants! Even during some of the saddest moments of my life... those times where I have felt lost and scrambled and not sure what my next step should be... I remember during those times just crying so hard all I could do was flop down on the ground and stare up at the nighttime sky and just wish the entire earth would swallow me whole. What it did instead was much more generous... it held me. It held a space for me, it absorbed my tears and listened to my cries and supported my body and soothed me. When I arose from those moments I knew I could and would survive past this grief. The earth has always been there for me and always will be. As a physician I have since done the research and found out some of the scientific explanations for these comforting, grounding, centering and often joyous experiences with the earth. The earth’s surface is negatively charged, full of free electrons willing and waiting for us. As human beings every single one of us is chock full of free radicals that cause inflammation and damage, causing our bodies to accelerate aging and create disease. The earth is meant to be a docking station for us, a port we can plug into to receive a head-to-toe, inside and out neutralization of this inflammation. The earth and humans are yin and yang -- just like trees provide oxygen and we provide carbon dioxide, the earth provides negative electrons and we provide positive free radicals and together we live in neutral joyous harmony. Only we don’t, not usually, because we are inside. Or in a car. Or on a second or even twenty-second floor of an insulated building.

And even when we are outside, we are wearing shoes that have a layer of rubber that literally cuts us off from this healing anti-inflammatory flow. If we remove the shoes, or better yet sit or lay down on the earth for even a short period of time, things in our bodies begin to heal. • Blood markers of inflammation decrease. • Patients hooked up to imaging studies show decreased inflammation all throughout the body, especially in areas where there was heightened inflammation. • Blood sugar levels stabilize. • Metabolism speeds up naturally. • Pain decreases. • Stress decreases. • Hormones, like the stress hormone cortisol, stabilize. • Sleep patterns improve. As it turns out, most so-called age related changes like arthritis, dementia, heart disease, stroke... is actually related to a lifetime of chronic inflammation. Take away the chronic inflammation by plugging into the earth and what do you get...

healing Earthing is the one constant I touch on in all of my courses and ebooks... from my Skin Happiness skin care book to my Gentle Restart Detox book to my Female Empowerment Health book... even in my Heart Centered Parenting book. Because there just isn’t a single process in our body that can’t be supported better through earthing. It doesn’t matter if we are talking anti-aging for our skin or detoxification or supporting health in our children, if we are talking about natural healing, the earth must be included. It was so much fun to be one of the expert protagonists in the movie The Grounded -- the motion picture that is single handedly bringing Earthing to mainstream America.

SAGE magazine

I was first involved in the filming of this movie because the director saw a very casual, informal video I had created for one of my blog posts on my website about the healing properties of earthing. He wanted to use a snippet in the first film and I was delighted!

bath or shower?

As I became more involved in the expansion of the Earthing movement, I was able and honored to do everything from filming a snippet of my homeschooling experience supporting my children’s understanding of earthing, to running a weight loss study that revealed that simply connecting to the earth allowed the majority of study participants to lose weight effortlessly, to interviewing some of the worlds most unique individuals: those precious few astronauts who have viewed the power of the earth from 220,000 + miles away standing on the moon.

Did we ourselves work with the land, tending to our garden or taking comfort in the shade of a tree, leaning against the trunk for a quick nap?

They both recounted how witnessing the earth from this perspective was totally unforgettable. And what I took from my experience talking with Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14) and Charles Duke (Apollo 16) is that the earth is literally a ball of life floating in an otherwise black space. That the business of the earth is to support life. And support it it does. It provides the food life needs, the water life needs, the air life needs... and now we realize, the anti-aging and health boosting contact we need as well. We’ve been trained to feel like we need to stay indoors and clean and bathed at all times. We wash our clothes and our homes and our bodies and our cars to remove all evidence of living on planet earth from them. There is nothing wrong with being clean, but did we really get dirty enough each day to even warrant that

Did we encourage our children to play in the mud and roll in the sand and join into a game of hide-and-seek barefoot?

Earthing doesn’t have to be hard and it doesn’t have to be time consuming and it doesn’t have to cost any money at all or involve any products. In fact, the earth is the ONE THING I KNOW I can depend on my entire life. It doesn’t matter what the nightly news tells me is wrong with this world or what the FDA is allowing into my food or what the drug companies are saying I need for my illness or what the government is taxing me for. The earth is the one thing that can not be taken away. No matter what my illness or condition, or what food I eat or do not eat or how many hours I have to work in a cubicle or go to school and sit at a desk, the one thing I can do for myself each day is discharge my tension, stress, aging and inflammation by touching the earth. Directly touching the earth is literally the best antiaging secret in the world, and nothing supports healing faster then docking yourself on the ground. No super-vitamin or fruit smoothie or raw diet can touch it, although it indirectly tries by feeding you healthy foods grown from the earth.

ISSUE 06

But you want the real deal? The fast track to optimum health? The quickest most unprocessed way to treat and release disease? Then you want to directly connect with the earth. Don’t believe me? Take 10 minutes over the next 10 days to slowly get familiar with the earth again and you will see -- it only takes 10 simple and sweet days to get into a new habit that will change your life. Let’s start today...

day 1: bare feet

we are simply connecting directly through our feet, whose entire design is soul inspired and sole inspired to make that healing connection effortlessly for you.

Today we are going to spend ten minutes walking around barefoot outside. If you have a yard, you are lucky indeed and it is the perfect place to go. If you need to, find a park or a garden or even just a tiny strip of grass in the middle of a bustling downtown and kick off your shoes.

Want to stay more then twenty minutes? All the better. But for ten minutes today, find the one patch of earth you feel most comforted and safe on and declare this your personal earthing zone.

Did you know that your feet have the most nerve endings per square inch of skin then any other part of your body? And did you know that your feet have the most dense amount of sweat glands then any other body part as well? That is because the foot is naturally evolved to be the perfect conduit for this electron exchange. The moist skin from sweat produced on the bottom of our feet is the ideal conductor to speed the soothing negatively charged electrons up and into our body, healing us from the ground up. And the nerve endings are there to make sure we find this experience pleasurable. Sink those toes into the grass. Run your heels through the sand. Stretch your feet out onto the warm ground, or even the cold ground, or the wet ground. Allow the experience to be what it is and just soak it in. Your assignment for today: Find 10-20 minutes to directly connect with the earth through your feet. Just take your shoes off. And simply stand on Mother Earth. On the grass, on the dirt, on a rock, on the sand. You can keep your clothes on... just take off your shoes and walk or stand on the earth. You can stay as bundled up as you like -- wrapped in a blanket or layered in a thick coat, it’s okay. Today,

Memorize where it is and you will get to know this patch of earth year round, as your own personal fountain of youth.

SAGE magazine

day 2: body Ready for more? I hope you slept better then usual last night... if you did, you can thank the earth and look forward to an even more spectacular session today. Today you may want to bring an old towel or a blanket, because we are going to lay on the earth. Return to your favorite patch of earth, the one you found yesterday, and spread out a blanket. In the sun or the shade, on a small strip of land or in the middle of a huge park, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter. Take whatever makes you feel comfortable... if you are in public and you feel a little silly, bring headphones and put them on (and whether you even turn them on and listen to music or not is totally up to you!) Put on your sunglasses to protect your eyes and go ahead and lay there. Better yet, fall asleep! If you are on your lunch break from work, eat your lunch. If it is in the evening, read a book, cloud watch, or write in your journal. Today get comfortable laying on the earth for those ten minutes (or longer) and feel all the tension in your body, especially any acute inflammation like back

pain, headaches, cramps, muscle tension, etc... just literally melt right into the earth. 10 minutes is all it takes. Want to find out the next 8 tips? In just ten minutes over the next 10 days, you *can* feel better than you do right now! Find more by downloading my FREE Earthing Guide on my website here! And parents, take your children with you! Let them run around barefoot... catch raindrops on their tongue... tell each other stories as you look at the clouds... lay under a blanket with a flashlight and look for constellations and drink hot chocolate... Just connect to the earth and let Mother Earth do the rest. Introduce your children to the most healthy, supportive lifelong habit you could possibly get them into by reading them my childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book on Earthing:

THE GROUnded The Grounded tells the true tale of an Alaskan wildlife filmmaker’s persistent curiosity and quest to test the claims of what appears to be an outrageously simple and “too good to be true” healing concept – physical, bare skin contact with the Earth – which may have been known by civilizations throughout history. New research has started to confirm the unexpected, that the surface of the Earth has healing power, like a gigantic treatment table. He introduces this concept to his fellow townsmen in Haines, Alaska (population 1,700), many of whom suffer from major pain or disabling conditions. Starting with his own pain relief, he witnesses and films a surprising and miraculous healing in the town generated by simply grounding people to the Earth, that is, reconnecting them to the Earth’s healing energy. The news of the town’s response draws the attention of Apollo astronauts who walked on the moon, as well as doctors and scientists. This highly unusual and eye-opening movie will change the way you look at the Earth beneath your feet!

alexis cartwright on transference healing and evolving our adam kadman body

SAGE magazine

5TH DIMENSIONAL HEaling Growing up in Mt Isa, a mining town in Queensland Australia, Alexis Cartwright always felt connected to the earth. The minerals and the crystals of the area helped her open up to her spiritual gifts. Many years later, the same earth connection drove Alexis to commence working with the alchemical properties of nature as she opened up to rediscovering an ancient doorway into a healing world long forgotten. The technology of nature and the technology of the body was one part of the process that lead Alexis through the door to Transference Healing, Mystery Schools and unlocking the Kabbalah secrets of the Adam Kadmon body. We interviewed Alexis for the Festival of Dreams to find out more about the process she has channelled, which she describes as the key to ascension.

transference healing

As a psychic reader I was picking up on imbalances and genetic weaknesses. As I came to understand and work with these imbalances I was able to develop a selfhealing method that supported the changes occurring within and around us. After working with many people, over many years, I was then called to teach the process to others.

mystery schools About ten years ago I was guided to bring through the mystery school, returning the mystery school teachings of past ages back to humanity. There are five levels. The first three have already been brought through and I am bringing through level four now. Each level occurs every second year at different locations around the world; at powerful grid locations, or highenergy vortexes.

During the mystery schools I channel and share I began channelling Transference Healing in 1990, universal information and healing technology related at which time I was a psychic reader. Through these to our changing body and reality. It is information that readings I was able to tune into the energetic needs to be shared to support our enlightenment and patterning of the body, gaining insight into our ascension at this time. This information supports us to ascension journey. I then received guidance to channel reconnect with our divine self-mastery process. and develop frequency-healing procedures that supported healing and ascension. It’s quite exciting. I am on location for about three weeks for each mystery school. It’s constant The whole modality is not just about supporting a meditations, channellings and teachings. They shift person’s self healing process. When I was tuning in I our perception on such a deep and empowering was seeing the technology of the body and the way it level that they have become an important part of the energetically connects to the technology of the global Transference Healing process. grid matrix, which sustains the whole physical and energetic makeup of our earth and universe. I also facilitate mass healing and lightbody activations at various locations around the world. These When I was tuning in I was not only learning about our activations support alchemical change and the own energetic system, (how the body functions on an integration of light, which is a fundamental principle energetic and physical level), but was also chanelling of Transference Healing...in fact the whole process is universal information. Through the technology of built around that principle. the grid, I was getting a much bigger picture of the changes happening within the earth and universe as a During the mass healings I create an energetic space whole. where I can pull in the frequency necessary to support alchemical changes. These frequencies are integrated Transference is about the way our body is into the body and consciousness through guided energetically and alchemically changing in alignment meditation, enabling the lightbody to integrate, and with the changes that are happening within the earth the physical body to shift in vibration. and universe as we transcend or transform from the third to fifth dimensional reality.

ISSUE 06

adam kadmon body The whole technology of Transference Healing is centred on the fact that we are no longer working with an Adam Body (a 3rd dimensional body), but are now working with an Adam Kadmon body, our 5th dimensional body. (editor’s note - an Adam Kadmon body is a Kabbalah term meaning “original man” or “Primordial Man” – Alexis describes this body as our 5th dimensional body or Christbody, our etheric body) The information I share is focused on the changes that are creating ascension; changes that our occurring within our body, and all around us. Everything within Transference Healing, from individual healing sessions and mass healings, to the workshops and mystery schools (which work with higher teachings), is about understanding the changes that are happening within us in relation to the integration of light and the evolution of our Adam Kadmon body. It is also about understanding the technology of nature and what’s happening within our universe to allow that new level of awareness to come through. When you combine all the levels of technology, teachings and energy within Transference Healing, a ’diamond pyramid of light’ is created. Everything contained within it is universal information, not something I control. It is something I was guided to bring through in various levels and layers.

cannot comprehend the full extent of this knowledge because it is vast and divided. My mission is to bring them back to Earth in a unified way, so the mysteries can once again be revealed. This information is now being channelled through so we can absorb the frequency and knowledge that enables evolutionary expansion. Through this universal technology we evolve into our multidimensional self. It’s like a doorway into ascension; what the kabbalah calls the “Jacob’s Ladder”. The teachings enable the ascension process to come through in a pure way which creates healing at the core.

finalising the mystery school When the fifth level of the mystery school has been written, all the teachings within Transference Healing will be templated. Transference Healing has anchored a self-healing and self-empowerment process onto the planet. It is my spiritual mission to provide new procedures that support others to heal themselves. This is why I was drawn to write Beyond Doorways. By sharing universal teachings and fundamental selfhealing procedures I am able to support others to empower and heal themselves. If we all learnt how to shift and raise our vibrations, all the pain and suffering would dissolve - there would be less struggle within the consciousness of humanity. This is my dream.

SELF-HEALING: The Key To Ascension Human beings are not only physical in nature. You are a complex multidimensional being sustained by a geometric, etheric template that regulates your emotional, mental and physical health. Since 2012, when the electromagnetic grid of the planet anchored into the fifth dimension, your body, consciousness and reality have been undergoing rapid transformation. A divinely-orchestrated process of co-creation is enabling you to shift from the third dimensional body to the fifth dimensional Adam Kadmon body and reality. Light and physical mass are uniting, enabling you to manifest your lightbody and Higher Self while in Earthly incarnation. Divine evolutionary expansion occurs not only in consciousness, but also in body. Your physical/etheric body is the vehicle through which you crystallise light; it is vital to your enlightenment and ascension. When you integrate light, release fear, and decode old genetic and past life pain, the biochemical compounds within you undergo alchemical transformation. As this density releases, your DNA and most fundamental subatomic structure undergo a symptomatic clearing process. These lightbody symptoms manifest when you experience a shift of consciousness or alchemical change that is initiated by the decoding of illness, trauma and pain. Healing occurs when you are open to change, not only in your being, but also your reality. This allows a ‘transference shift’ to occur, the process whereby you change from one state of being to another. At each stage of your integration with the lightbody and Merkabah, an energetic death and rebirth is initiated. This process triggers you to release old behavioural patterns from the genetic core of your physical makeup. After it has completed, you are changed forever. You exist within a new reality that is no longer limited by restrictive patterning. Self-healing is the key to your ascension process, your integration with the lightbody, and your evolution into Christbody and Consciousness. Channelled by renowned international healer and teacher, Alexis Cartwright, Transference Healing® is a seventh

dimensional frequency-healing process that assists you to do this. Uniting universal principles and properties, Transference Healing® works with energy, light, elements and matter to create a deep healing response that brings spiritual empowerment. Transference Healing® awakens a universal belief system that works with the many philosophical teachings and healing lineages of our past, present and future. It balances all aspects of self, unites the masculine and feminine principles, and refines your power centre or ego. By assisting you to clear karmic patterning from your cellular memory, it initiates an alchemical healing response that supports you to maintain wellness, overcome personal limitations and integrate with the new world. Because the mind and body are intricately connected on a cellular level, Transference Healing® initiates healing, transformation and change in the mind and emotions, as well as the body. With each healing you undergo a shift in consciousness that supports you to integrate the lightbody, raise your vibration and live a multidimensional reality The universal teachings that are the foundation of Transference Healing® were channelled by Alexis Cartwright from many beings, Masters and frequencies within our universe, as well as from other dimensional realities. The alchemy, technology and knowledge held within it are bestowed by Enoch in alignment with the consciousness of Metatron; all of which is spiritually and energetically delegated by Lord Melchizedek. As Melchizedek proclaimed, “when the Masters unite the World will change”. It is this principle of unity that lies at the core of Transference Healing®’s philosophy toward both personal and global unity, healing, mastership and ascension. For this reason Transference Healing® supports you to develop your own connection to the universal frequencies that are being filtered into our dimension at this time. By providing a template through which you can develop your spiritual gifts and talents, Transference Healing® empowers you to awaken your unique self-healing abilities. Through it you can connect to the hidden mysteries, origins and functions of the body and universe, and integrate with your Higher and Future Self.

The Essence OF COLOUR soul traveller radio chats with rachelle sewell about resonate essences

SAGE magazine

Rachelle Sewell is a Kinesiologist and hypnotherapist who works with lives between lives however it is her own life, or loss of life, that resulted in the direction she now takes. In fact not once but twice. During her second trip to the other side, Rachelle brought back a gift which is now available in the form of Resonate Essences. Before we began the interview, Rachelle advised me that I may find the interview a little difficult to edit. She wasn’t wrong. Editing the interview started me on a path down EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) due to the spirit voices that were very evident. That is however another story for another issue of Sage. The resonate voices and energy are just part of who Rachelle is now, along with recipes to help us heal. During 2004, Rachelle developed Pena Anaphylaxis after the birth of her third child, had a reaction to food she was eating and ended up with complete organ failure. Her first near death experience at age 11 completely changed her life, opening her up to being able to see energy. The second experience at age 33, gave Rachelle the opportunity to communicate with the spirits present.

you understand through working with the Resonate Essence tools. They are tools to shift you from where you are to where you would rather be in relation to your goals in life. As the essences bring you into harmony or resonance with the desired qualities in each pure state, such as Love, Joy & Self Worth, you experience improvements in your everyday life; in your thoughts, feelings, health & well-being, relationships & finances. Like many of the healers we have interviewed for our Sage Magazine Healing Special, Rachelle agrees that the ability to heal yourself is something we all are capable of. “The essences are a tool that you can use with your own inner guidance to help change your state, raise your vibration, and create the life of your dreams.” Visit the Resonate Essences website to find out more http://resonateessences.com and take a listen to the full interview with Rachelle by clicking the soundcloud link on the right.

“As I rose up from my body, they said ‘stop...you have to go back...you haven’t even started on the work you are here to do”. I was then shown the recipes for the colour wheel which makes up our logo.” Each colour has a vibrational state, which an essence has been created for. Rachelle was shown how to make each one with full recipes and locations of where they were to be made. “The essences help people raise the vibration of the planet through raising their own energy levels and help heal stuck emotions. We’ve all heard of how the Law of Attraction works, & we understand that your vibration is the rate at which your cells & molecules are oscillating. This vibration is the sum total of your physical, mental, emotional & spiritual qualities, coming from your thoughts, feelings & actions that lead to the results that show up in your everyday life.” Coupled with the tapping techniques, the use of Resonate Essences has seen so many life changing results that Rachelle and her partner Mel Simmons began to offer special guided groups with global consciousness workshops. “Every soul has a unique purpose which we help

Spiritual depression by jennifer starlight

Depression of all kinds and in varying degrees is now reaching epidemic proportions within all age groups of our society, and even those on a spiritual path are not immune to this disorder. In fact, many people who begin on the path of self-inquiry and wish to consciously reconnect with Spirit will often fall into a malaise when life keeps sending them emotional or life changing ’curve balls’. Unfortunately, many are of the belief that if they connect to Spirit and do all the ’right things’ and consistently try to improve themselves, that this will be enough to protect them from life’s ups and downs, particularly on an emotional level. So a spiritual depression can often begin within a person when there is the realization that life cannot be controlled through applying ’practices’ of any nature, whether it be through the physical, mental or spiritual experience. And so begins the illusion of separation from life, love and Spirit and a belief is created that they are doing something wrong, or are unworthy of the love and peace they have been promised through

various activities or modalities. It has not been helpful either that over the centuries Spirit has been perceived as a state of perfection that is unobtainable to the mere human, which has also created a sense of inadequacy within the human psyche. It is our hopes and expectations of what a spiritual path is going to deliver that need to be reviewed and brought back into alignment with the realities of this dimension and over the years I have been asked countless times ‘What is my souls path?’ and even though we each have amazing gifts with which to serve others, the truest answer I can give is that first and foremost we are each here to experience being a human being. We are already Spirit and the challenges and depths of experience available to us in this human dimension can be both extraordinary and excruciating, however when we can understand that we have been given the gift of 5 senses to experience love with, then we can start to have a different perception of this amazing place called Earth. My guides have often said that it takes a Master

to be able to put themselves into a ‘human suit’ with an emotional body. And to have the ability to experience with such depth and tangibility a tear on our cheek, the sun on our body or the touch of a loved one, makes this dimension one of immense sensations and beauty in which to physically feel love. Having been given the blessed gift to talk directly to a person’s Soul, I have heard over and over again the Soul begging its ‘human extension’ to surrender to its guidance and grace, however the human mind usually has other ideas and will project the very real sensations of fear and apprehension through the physical body to stop a connection to this divine powerhouse within us.

Start to question your thoughts, face them head on and be brutally honest with yourself, asking if the thought is really true? Sense how it makes you feel within yourself and turn the thought around into a positive one. Observe your thoughts and please do not judge them, give yourself compassion and understanding and know thoughts are only real if you make them so. Imagine them to be no more than clouds that cross the vastness of your magnificent consciousness. Another helpful practice is to stand outside and face the Sun and with pure intent direct its golden rays into your third eye center in the middle of your forehead. See your mind fill with golden light and imagine a pearl in the center of your brain also filling with this golden light.  Now consciously take your breath up through your nostrils into what is now a golden pearl just under your crown chakra and witness this ball expand and contract with each breath.

Even if it is inherited and stored genetically within us, or appears as a chemical or hormonal imbalance in it’s nature, the invisible prison of depression is created from the foundation of self judgment and the belief that our thoughts are our reality. In addition the expectations and judgments placed upon us by our families, our society and our own ego’s sets before each Do this for as long as you feel comfortable and repeat of us the huge challenge of maintaining our self worth daily. while trying to be all we can be, or worse, who we are supposed to be within the eyes of others. The pearl in the center of your brain is the Pineal Gland and what my guides refer to as the Gateway to your And the harder we try to live up to these artificial Divine Consciousness and by activating this gland with expectations, the further down into the deep well golden sunlight and conscious breath, it will assist you of disappointment and despair we fall, becoming to reconnect to your own divine intelligence and the disconnected from our soul’s inner guidance, divine pure life force of love. intelligence and intuition. Life becomes joyless and pointless and an unexplainable sense of homesickness and alienation is created, we begin to judge and control our emotions and so through more judgment of the original negative beliefs, which are passed down generation after generation, we continue on an endless cycle of turmoil and anxiety that then controls us. So begin to remind yourself daily of some of the basic truths of your existence; 1. At your core you are pure love, or you could not exist. 2. You chose to have this human experience to assist in your own evolution and that of God’s. 3. You are a unique and precious aspect within the Web of Life. 4. You are a universal blessing within the eyes of Spirit. Here are two simple exercises, which can assist in the positive upliftment of your thoughts and your moods:

THE ART OF HEALING

angela treat lyon how art & e.f.t. saved her life

SAGE magazine

the interjection of inspiration

“i make art because i must... it’s a cellular need....it’s a compulsion, an addiction, a beingness i cannot deny.”

”Simply put: Art is Spirit moving through any particular medium, whether it be stone, music, cooking, dance, speech, or whatever. Create an intention, take action, results follow, fine or not.” It was a blessing to take Sage Magazine readers into the home of artist, Angela Treat Lyon, just outside of Honolulu, on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Oahu. Angela has been a professional artist for 50+ years, receiving numerous awards and international recognition. She’s the author of over 50 books. Her oil paintings and sculptures are in private collections and galleries from China, Japan and the South Pacific to the US, Argentina and many places in Europe.

How would you personally describe your style of art and where do you draw your inspiration?

style I would use words like voluptuous, figurative, powerful, emotive, sensual, female - as in ’of woman,’ rather than ’feminine,’ which to me infers a frilly frou-frou stereotypical image, which my work definitely is not! More words would be touchable, solid, grounded....

inspiration Life itself inspires me. The beauty of the simplicity of a leaf, the softness of a young mother’s eyes as she gazes at her child, hands in any position, the lines of a beautiful yacht, the complexity of the texture of a rock face on a mountain...all of these inspire me.

My work emerges from dreams and images I ’see’ inside my head - they clamor to come out. Perhaps what is most magnetic about Angela and Sometimes I have to just stop everything else and go her artwork, is the beautiful expression of human consciousness. She sees her art as a vehicle to raise a paint or carve or write, because the creation itself is crying so loudly to be manifest. Sometimes I feel like person’s vibratory frequency. a human manifesting tube - images and information TN: Angela, thank you so much for having me in your come through me, and I’m just the tool, letting it all come out of my hands. A divine download tube tool! wonderful home and seeing where the inspiration and magic takes place for your paintings and sculptures. ATL: Thanks for coming all the way out to see me and my work!

no horror!

Long ago, I decided not to do artwork that conveyed horror, war, pain, suffering, etc. There’s enough of that in the world, we don’t need to see any more of that. Moaning and crying all day without cease doesn’t effect change for the better. Don’t get me wrong here - there were times in history that paintings like that were critical. Think of Goya and his gruesome paintings of war - back then, there were no international newspapers, no internet. People had no way of knowing what was happening in other regions around the world. Those art works served to inform. But now, the media shows us a zillion horror images a day, every day. There’s no end of it. It’s mindnumbing. We need to see light at the end of the paintunnel! We need to have inspiration and upliftment interjected into our lives to relieve the brutality and ignorance and pain in front of us, to give us hope that

there’s something better. So I want my work to carry the energy of inspiration, hope, delight, caring, etc. I want people to look at a piece of my artwork and be carried to the feeling of love, for instance, or joy or delight within that piece. Artwork can literally change a person’s vibratory frequency, just as listening to music can. Art is a frequency transmitter and transformer. I take that idea very seriously. What is your definition of human consciousness and how is it reflected in your artwork?

consciousness I think of consciousness as our awareness of our intrinsic nature, which is, to me, an infinite knowingness anchored within this human shell. I believe that it’s up to each of us to expand and refine our consciousness within our lifetimes. When my kids were little, I’d hold them and just feel awestruck at how much energy, how much sheer BE-ingness was centered in their little bodies. It’s a stunning question: how could one small body hold so

How much expression can you infuse into a mask with the slightest details? Pushing the That’s why my work is more about thought and work to its limits. You can feel it when you see a piece emotion.

You’ve said before that you, “Recognized a long time ago that yin and yang can’t live without each other.” Could you unpack that a little for our readers?

yin/yang You see a lot of artwork that is pure decoration - no tension, no opposition - everything is nice-nice, pretty-pretty. That’s fine - there’s certainly a call and a real need for that. But if you want your work - any work, whether painting, carving, writing, acting, speaking or whatever - to be really powerful, it has to have even the slightest intimation of Something Dreaded. This causes a tension within the artwork, a push-pull between life as we’d hope it would be and what we call the dark side. That doesn’t mean it has to have ugliness or dire threats blaring from every corner of it! All it means is that some part of it needs to communicate the possibility of danger. Like a fragile leg on a horse sculpture, a frown on a face within a group of happy faces - there are many ways to interject the thin possibility of death or destruction, but without actually naming it or making it a big deal. This is life! Every day we face death. We don’t think about it at top-of-mind, but it’s there. If you’ve ever been struck down by ill health suddenly or been in a car wreck, you’ve seen how lightning-fast the entire universe can shift for you. Carlos Casteneda’s teacher, Don Juan, had Carlos imagine death sitting on his shoulder. It was to help him be really aware that everything can tank in a flash, and to use that awareness as a guide to stay on the

darkness & depression, begone! The darkest thing in my life was a constant, nagging thinking pattern - thoughts constantly running in the back of my mind like ”I can’t. I’m not good enough. No one appreciates me, life is too painful, let’s get out of here.” You don’t really get the impact of thoughts like that until you go out to try somethig new. All of a sudden, your parents’ or teachers’ voices will pop up - ”who do you think you are? You can’t do that! Money doesn’t grow on trees...” and so on. My head was chock full of those thoughts!

And thoughts of how I would Do the Dirty Deed pills? A gun? Drive over a cliff? It all started when I was in my late teens, and shaded my life every day for 35 years. There’s no more undermining line of thought. It completely sabotaged my ability to enjoy life or feel fulfilled. I didn’t have the tools to get myself out of it until I was over 50 years old, when I found EFT, the Emotional Freedom Techniques. It’s pretty amazing I lasted so long! I look back in wonder and gratitude that my sheer natural desire to live overpowered that death-pattern until I could find the key.

When I learned how to use EFT, it took me six short weeks to completely eliminate all suicidal thinking. All of it. Gone. Never has come back. It was like a miracle. One morning I awoke to find that the dense black cloud over my life completely gone. I was so unfamiliar with the state I was in that it took me an hour to realize I was actually feeling happy!

ASTRAL EMPOWERMENT ”releasing reactivity is salve for your cells...allow the cosmic smile to seep through.” Astral travel isn’t just about getting out of your physical body. It is so, so much more. Out of the corporeal shell, you begin to appreciate your true grandeur. You start to recognise that your place in the universe is far more profound than you ever imagined. You sense this glorious perfection weaving its way through all things, yourself included. And when you return, you bring back a sample of this cosmic awareness with you. In actual effect, you are releasing the facade of what you thought you were, as each brittle piece crumbles, piece by illusory piece. Then you begin to sense it—really sense it.

choice—you are love. Your cells are infused more consciously with the energy of the creative ecstatic urge, the only energy in fact, the energy of the universe. With this knowledge in cell, there is only one way forward, as the “conditionality” of love is finally expired from your field. You see, there is no condition. You and I and all of us—are— love. This realisation is the ultimate one, and one of phenomenal release. With it, your persona, the illusory game of karma (yes, it can be destroyed at any moment) and all that you think is blocking you, is released.

Your body is primarily a vibrational resonator. When you tap into these higher vibrational frequencies that you access in the astral dimensions, you alter your sense of your own molecular makeup. You literally feel your cells interacting with yourself and your environment. You mesh with your existence on a more conscious level. And I’ll tell you what: that ain’t a bad thing!

And so I’ve found that accessing these higher vibrational realms, through astral travel, has infused my earthly being with this truly ecstatic sense. I no longer fear death, as I know I cannot die. Nor do I strive for anything, for all is complete. All exists in perfection. Little by little, the spaces within the solidity of the physical realm open themselves up to me, to reveal a magic that would shadow the utmost of dreams. For we are the dreamer and the dream! This is a remarkable reclamation of power: your power (and in the best possible sense of the word).

Sensing yourself primarily as an energetic being—as a spiritual being— has a profound effect on your behaviour. The arbitrary notion of self-love simply flies out the window, as in: there is no

One of the first masks to fall, is that of reactivity (the primary force behind karma, which is now leaving our planet). You sense an ineffable love for all beings, regardless of their actions. The

murderer is loved instead of punished. As is the “terrorist,” the President or Prime Minister, or the CEO. You may be at odds with their beliefs and their actions, but you’ll love them all the same. You’ll recognise yourself in their eyes. Releasing reactivity is salve for your cells. It allows the cosmic smile to seep through them, unhindered. And you will feel the benefits on a very physical level. Your health will palpably improve as you process energy more efficiently. You’ll feel more…you. And at the same time, you’ll feel more of something else within you. You’re connecting to your higher vibrational self as you release the blocks that don’t serve you any longer. (By the way—they never served you). “An eye for an eye.” This for that. Can you see that this notion of cause and effect, action/reaction, is the very powerhouse of so-called karma that fuels the wheel’s ceaseless and repetitious return into reincarnational form. Can you see that the endless cycle of war and unrest on our planet mirror those very same conditions within us—within our cells. Releasing reactivity is raising the divine hand within your field and proclaiming “STOP!” It is mastery of your energies, ecstatic release, and divine alchemy of the highest order. You, and your body, will be transformed as the universe gains conscious access to your cells. As reactivity falls to the floor, with surprisingly little fanfare, you’ll notice many other structures within you raising an eyebrow, taking a furtive bow, and leaving the stage. The limp notions of morality, honour and duty we’ve been mercilessly raised upon run for blinding cover as a sun so luminous and loving kisses them away. The doctrine of fairness, which implies conditionality in

its most rigid form, instantly vaporises. “You’ve been a good boy/ a good girl—so I’ll give you a hug!” That’s fair! (Collapse.) Conditionality—doesn’t—exist. Can’t you just feel the relief. The body exhaling. Letting go. You see we’ve been raised on a lie. The energy in the astral dimensions— the sense of presence in the astral dimensions—is so enormous, so startlingly all-encompassing, allconsuming, all-hugging, all-loving, that you simply lack for nothing. You know you are all. And it is not a feeling of being a measly insignificant creature in the wake of a vast and uncompromising megalith of space real-estate. The inside-out ness of it all strokes you at your core, caresses at the inside of your heart in such an intimate yet massive, uncompromisingly loving way. Calls to action such as “It’s not enough to have pure thoughts, you have to raise up against evil-doers,” or “passivity sows the seeds of ruin,” are inherently laced with the mistaken morality of condition. While perhaps well-meaning, they fracture the psyche and support the notion that as a species we are somehow spoiled at the core, that we must somehow “fight” to free ourselves from our innate sinful nature. “Goodness”— such an emotionally laden word—must be “won.” This unconscious tussle is forever pummelling your cells, tying you in energetic knots, and attempting to drain you of your divine recognition. This fiction is perpetuated by our mass media and cultural narrative, and is harming us. And if we are harmed, our bodies are harmed. All the secrets to our divine presence

lie in the now. With a simple flick of your consciousness you can become wholly present, empowering your cells to remember their perfection. This is no theory, dogma, or belief system. This is reality. And it gets back to the buzz. When I’m out of my body, I can feel my astral body (or energetic double) firing on a subatomic level. My cells are so stoked that they force my consciousness into an absolute present state of feeling, or being. On a level beyond the perceived logical mind, I can sense the rejuvenation of my physical cells when this occurs. It it all runs hand in hand with the “astral knowing” destroying perceived mental and emotional structures simultaneously. And so to enter the astral state—is to heal. Another structure to lose its foothold in reality, is the concept of annihilation, or death. This denial of our true energetic nature is a co-denial of our spiritual identity. Each time we leave the house, we fear annihilation on a very subtle, yet infectious level. Fear of death, fear of losing our loved ones, fear of losing our jobs, our money, our house. Fear of losing our youth. This perpetual and underlying state of fear, particularly in western culture, distracts us from our true and present state and dislocates us from our vast source of spiritual power. Close your eyes. Feel these subtle fears of “loss” within you, and simply breathe them away. Just like that. Go ahead, take the

risk! In the astral states, I’ve been eye to eye with past lives. I’ve heard the voice of my own higher-awakened self. It’s given me insights, advice, and it even caused me to levitate once—in this 3D reality! Such magic, such wonder, such reality. Anchoring into your spiritual state, is not running anywhere, nor is it escaping. It is not denying reality. Neither is it self-centred navel gazing. I’ve really recognised that over time, with all my astral experiences. In the beginning it was a little difficult staying grounded, because I had no idea what was actually going on. But over time, and occasional astral expulsions, I’ve allowed source energy to inhabit me more consciously, or rather I’ve recognised the true perfection that we are. It’s not a separate concept. And I can never be lonely. I love my own company and bliss that unfolds while just being. I am forever reclaiming myself, loving myself more and more, and that is a mighty powerful and enjoyable process. Letting go of the illusion of self-limitation is like beckoning your spiritual self to come out of the shadowy corner and take up residence more fully, more consciously, within you. It is the earthing of divine magic. It is what we are waiting for. And it is here—now.

CORPORATE WELLNESS ROOMS ADOPT BIOMAT Wellness, health and longevity aren’t just buzzwords in the fitness industry.

Safer than heating pads because there are no harmful electromagnetic waves. BioMat penetrates 80 times deeper than an electric blanket. Many health professionals consider BioMat a viable treatment option for pain as well as other muscular skeletal problems.

The BioMat Mini, a smaller 17” x 33” pad can also be used for short or long periods of time when placed on an office chair. This is a great option for companies that do not have corporate wellness rooms. Easy to implement, corporate wellness rooms and products that can be used at an employees desk are having a tremendous impact on the overall health, wellness and vitality of their employees, and the BioMat is the perfect tie-in for any company’s wellness plan.

LOOKING FOR BORNEO the dayak people of the kalimantan

ISSUE 06

featuring imagery by david metcalf, and text by mark heyward taken from ”looking for borneo”

SAGE magazine

THE SPARK OF AN IDEA Sometimes an idea is like a spark. A tiny spark can start a fire. An idea can grow into something far larger and far more wide-reaching than anticipated. In the words of Australian songwriter, Paul Kelly, ‘From little things big things grow...’ Twenty years ago expatriate Tasmanian, Mark Heyward, decided to cross the remote island of Borneo. With a group of friends he travelled up the rivers and through the jungles of Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo: from the east coast near Samarinda to the city of Pontianak in the west. The story of that trek, which coalesces with Mark’s longer and deeper journey into the complex heart of Indonesia, was published in 2013 under the title Crazy Little Heaven, an Indonesian Journey. Some months later Mark met renowned photographer, David Metcalf, in Jakarta. David was at the national museum launching his book, Indonesia’s Hidden Heritage. There, among the statues and remnants of an older Indonesia and with a glimpse of the national monument beyond, its gold-tipped flame appearing above the rooftops in the coloured dusk sky, David presented a slideshow of photographs from Kalimantan.

ISSUE 06

David’s photographs reveal another Kalimantan. Beyond the images of poverty and environmental destruction, lies a world of ancient forests, pristine rivers, wild creatures, and the diverse and colourful cultures of the indigenous Dayak. The spark of an idea for this book was born. With excerpts from Mark Heyward’s book, Crazy Little Heaven; a cd of original songs inspired by the original book, animation by Ubud artist Khan Wilson and David Metcalf’s original photos brought about Looking For Borneo. Publisher and designer, Clare McAlaney, whose book Bali Soul Journals was featured in Sage Issue 3 committed to publishing this book that will raise awareness of Borneo’s great forests, its amazing creatures and the Dayak cultures within those forests. Income from book sales will go to support important work with communities and children in Kalimantan and Bali. And if you are inspired, share the article, follow the Facebook page and more importantly donate. Borneo, Kalimantan, and the Dayak people need our support now. The plight of Borneo is urgent. Our planet is under threat from many forces. One place where we can make a difference is Borneo.

SAGE magazine

DAYAK VILLAGE LIFE (an excerpt from looking for borneo) Beyond the timber camp and around a wide curve in the river we sight the cliffs. Exposed by the low water level, beneath the dense riverside jungle growth, pure white limestone has been washed and carved by the river into weird shapes, convoluted caves disappearing beneath the forest. On the opposing bank, wide stretches of shoal provide a base for net fishing, gold panning and the gathering of driftwood for cooking fires. As we reach the cliffs themselves, their size becomes even more impressive. Rising sheer from the river, two or three hundred metres up into the tropical sky, they serve to dwarf our tiny craft, a reminder of our vulnerability in this alien land of giant forests and strange creatures. Returning upstream from the gorge, we pass Olivier and Markus following our path in a ces of their own.

Vonie stretches out in the bow of our boat, taking the opportunity for a midafternoon snooze, and I relax, hoping that the unease in my gut will right itself. Still with time to spare we head on past Ujoh Bilang to Long Bagun, a more traditional Bahau Dayak village. The difference between the two villages is immediately evident. Here, despite the obvious poverty, there is a greater sense of civic pride. The central lane way is cobbled and lined with coconut palms and timber cottages fronted with picket fences and the open verandas that allow the communal living characteristic of villages throughout Indonesia. Past a small raised longhouse and a gigi mas clinic where patrons can have their teeth replaced or capped with pure local gold, we meet a young man putting the

finishing touches to a sapeh – a traditional Dayak stringed instrument – he is crafting. With a smile he accepts our invitation to display his talent, picking out a simple melody on the raw instrument. On another veranda, an elderly woman with stretched ears and traditional tattoos sits cross-legged, weaving a mat from dried palm leaf. A pretty little girl with mixed Dayak and Chinese parentage smiles shyly as I walk past. Further on I stop to chat with a group of women winnowing dry green beans on a woven mat spread out in the centre of the street. One woman scuttles off indoors with a giggle, apparently embarrassed by her unusual reddish brown hair which, she says, looks like a tourist’s. Although life proceeds at its own sleepy pace, in these Dayak villages there is little evidence of the idleness observed in mixed communities. Everyone, young and old, has a job to do, and most of this industry takes place in the street or on a veranda, lending a real sense of communal purpose to the village. A group of men may be seen forging parangs – the large bush knives that no Dayak man will be seen without – from scrap iron. One working the hand operated bellows, another holding the tongs and another wielding a mallet. Another pair will be carving an elaborately decorated door for a church or meeting hall, and another the hull of a new ces.

ISSUE 06

An old man may be turning the carcass of a freshly killed bush pig on a makeshift spit, or stirring a huge pot of fatty stew over an open fire. A woman will be sitting on her porch, one foot crooked over the end of a long bamboo pole, waving it slowly backwards and forwards to warn chickens away from the rice or maize she has spread out to dry on a mat on the road. Another group may be squatting under a tree, weaving rattan baskets or painting them with a chocolate brown stain. In Kenyah villages you will always find a woman sitting at a little wooden stool working at the intricate and brightly coloured bead work for which they are known. Kenyah and Kayan men and women carry their babies on their backs in exquisitely crafted baby carriers which offer not only a practical means of caring for the young whilst leaving the hands free for work, but also spiritual protection for the baby. The baby carriers are decorated in beadwork with powerful motifs such as the asoq dragon-dog and curling spirals of colour along with old Dutch and colonial Malaysian coins, the teeth and claws of sun bears, boars and clouded leopards, and cowrie shells traded from the coast. A few treasured beads have reportedly been found to be made of Venetian glass traded along the Silk Road to China in the Middle Ages. Each tribe and each village has its favoured crafts and trades, each its own traditions and each its own unique cycle of activity. Groups of grubby children, their chores complete, will form a circle in the dusty lane for another round of marbles, or the local game they play with picture cards, stacking them on a can, then scattering them over the dirt with a stick thrown from an agreed

distance and scoring according to the way they fall. The girls play catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cradle with riverweed string. And the soccer field and volley ball courts that exist in every Indonesian village are rarely empty, especially in the evenings when, the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work done, young people gather for the sport. Best of all is the game of takraw, still played in the backblocks. Lithe young men form teams for a kind of upside-down volleyball, using only their feet, knees, chests and heads to field a woven rattan ball back and forth across a high net, to the cheers of fans and onlookers.

THE KINGDOM OF Crystal Skulls

the quest of the crystal skull explorers by joshua shapiro & shayne locke

ISSUE 06

SAGE magazine

THE REAL LIFE CRYSTAL SKULL EXPLORERS ”the crystal skulls are here to help humanity create a peaceful and harmonious world - so now that you know, what are you going to do about it?” Early in 1983, this was the message that Joshua Shapiro received upon contact with a photo of his first crystal skull...the kind of inner message that he didn’t realise was going to have a profound effect on the rest of his life. While visiting a local art gallery, Joshua came face-to-face with an ancient amethyst crystal skull later to be known as Ami. That meeting started Joshua (and his partner Katrina Head, who he met in Atlanta in 2009) on a 25 year journey around the world, conducting research (both scientific and paranormal) to understand the true nature of the crystal skulls. ”I have discovered that the crystal skulls hold a living consciousness that resides within them. That is to say, they act as if they are alive, like having an inner dialogue (telepathically or on a feeling level) with a real person. Between the crystal skulls that I have been fortunate enough to meet in person (some considered quite old) and the crystal skulls that we personally have in our care as their guardians (we like to call them our ”kids”), our lives have forever changed, big time!!” Joshua’s research even provided him, in 2008, an opportunity to conduct research in the presence of the famous Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull on behalf of a Syfy Channel documentary. Whilst there is some debate over the age of the famous skull, discovered by Anna Mitchell-Hedges, this crystal skull continues to baffle scientists and researchers, as to how it was constructed and why people have such a powerful spiritual experience in the skull’s presence. ”In the past several years, crystal skulls, made from various types of quartz crystals that are mysteriously shaped in the likeness of our human-bone skulls, have gained a great interest worldwide, even including a periodically new investigation by the major media. These

enigmatic and astonishing objects have mostly been uncovered near ancient ruins in Mexico and Central America but several other skulls have recently been uncovered in other parts of the world. Some of the crystal skulls are believed to be prehistoric artifacts, used by priests and priestesses connected to the legendary civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria. Recently, the crystal skulls have gained more public attention with the release of the last Indiana Jones film in 2008, and many people today either know about crystal skulls or actually have one - usually a newly carved reproduction (although nonetheless still very energetic and beneficial) - in their possession.” Now known as the Crystal Skull Explorers, Joshua and Katrina have been actively investigating the crystal skulls and are convinced that the skulls are very sacred tools which are coming out into the public eye to help humanity create lasting peace in our world. ”Whether ancient, old or newly carved, crystal skulls serve as a catalyst to awaken humanity to their true inner essence as spiritual beings having a momentary adventure in this physical world.” The two explorers have now set their sights upon presenting their life work in a different form by creating two fictional novels, being written with the help of a team of talented individuals. One of these novels is based upon a movie script that has existed for about 10 years which shows a real life scenario how the crystal skulls could bring an ”Age of Total Peace” in our near future. ”We live in a world today with many complex problems and challenges. People are wondering if the prophecies of a ”Golden Age”, a time of peace and harmony can really happen to our Earth under these present conditions? Our goal through these novels and eventually the creation of our movie is to show a possible interpretation of various old Mayan and Native American prophecies which discuss that there could be a special and powerful group of crystal skulls which have been hidden from the public for a long time and possibly scattered all over the world. And that one day in our future, in a time of great need by our world,

these so-called sacred crystal skulls would miraculously come back together, gathering in a location or a place of power and their combined energies would heal our planet.” The sacred skulls referred to by Joshua form part of the Legend of the 13 Crystal Skulls, the focus of ancient Mayan and Native American texts and of course was in a modern way, loosely retold in the movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls (Spielberg style). Legend has it that 13 crystal skulls will be reunited at a pivotal time in history to awaken a new era...

”the time of warning has come to pass and the warriors of the rainbow are now beginning to be born...the vale of tears, the nine hells, is over and it is time to prepare for the 13 heavens... the ancestors are returning, my brothers and sisters, and we do not have long...now is the time that the prophecies will be fulfilled.” Mayan Priest and Shaman, Don Alejandro Cirilo Oxlaj Peres - Day Keeper of the Mayan Calendar The story of the Crystal Skull Explorers doesn’t end with their stories depicting world peace in the future (or sharing these ancient prophecies). In April this year, a post was made on facebook by an anonymous source which stated: - ”WHAT IF every crystal skull guardian in the world focused on sending a healing energy to Mother Earth and all life for five minutes on one special day? Would you join in? And if so, what do you think might happen to our world?” Based on the response from the post, a group of crystal skull guardians from several countries decided to create the Crystal Skull Hearts Council to facilitate this vision, now a special event called Crystal Skull World Day (CSWD 2014) on 22 November. Naturally Joshua and Katrina were very excited when they heard about this new initiative.

”This date was chosen since the month of November (11) and the date (22) are two master numbers. In addition, in numerology, the full date 11-22-2014 adds up to 13, which is a key number linked to the crystal skulls. In particular, there is a powerful prophecy about a group of thirteen original crystal skulls which were gifted to humanity long ago which would be reunited in the near future to act as a catalyst to assist in the return of a Golden Age of Peace to our earth.” Since May this year, the Crystal Skull Hearts Council has been working diligently to get the word out about this unique day of connection. The focus of CSWD 2014 is to invite all crystal skull guardians (which includes indigenous and non-indigenous individuals who have a crystal skull(s), as well as modern-day carvers) to come together at the same time to do a special meditation for only five minutes and then to send to our world a healing energy further amplified by the skulls. Due to the different time zones around the world, there will be three specific times for this connection. The Council is creating a special video for participants to use and view during the meditation which will have music combined with images of crystal skulls, nature and the cosmos. When the video ends, each participant will then take the love energy they have generated in their heart and send it out to the world. ”Can you imagine what might happen if 50,000 people did such a meditation at the same time? What effect this could have on our planet?” So far, there are over four hundred crystal skull guardians that have joined the event’s dedicated Facebook page, Crystal Skull World Family (click here) In addition, the Council was recently joined by an indigenous Mayan Daykeeper who is a crystal skull guardian who then also received the support ofa Mayan Elder in Guatemala. The Mayan Daykeeper, Jose Federico Munoz, has contact with many other indigenous shamans and elders. and has dedicated his life to creating activities that support world peace. Various members of the Crystal Skull Family are organizing public gatherings on CSWD 2014, including one gathering so far in

Australia. If CSWD 2014 sounds exciting to you and you would like to learn more, we recommend you visit the event’s website at: http://www. crystalskullworldday.com. Here you will find information about the event, including the goal of CSWD 2014 and the nature of the Council. Some of the information has been translated into various languages, including Dutch, Portuguese, Hungarian, German, Spanish and Chinese. Other languages will be added soon. Also, suggestions are given about how you can participate and help spread the word about the event, even if you don’t have your own crystal skull. ”When Katrina and I heard about CSWD 2014 we immediately signed up as a co-sponsor and have been promoting this day to our mailing list ever since as well as within our Facebook pages, on our on-line radio show and all of our websites. We truly believe this could be the most important day in modern times linked to the crystal skulls. Particularly, as it brings together for the first time the worldwide family of crystal skull guardians with their personal skulls. Nothing has been attempted like this before. The possibility of the results of this day could forever change our world.”

There is a truth within that can never be denied. There is a truth within called love. Be it the very essence of our soul, our search. Dare we question thou truth? Dare we question thou love?

the tier of eternal grace Imagine...A fantasy wound within the truths of reality, brings forth an ardent depiction of the faerie realm, and the exploits of the faeries themselves.

”I fell into oneness and centre and they started to make themselves known in my life and I knew I had to write this story.”

Beyond the boundary that separates the mundane and earthly planes from the divine lies Eterna Fadas, a place ruled by extraordinary beings, lithe and humanlike in appearance, yet ethereal in their grace and beauty, and sensuous in nature.

And an enchanting world it is. Focusing on Tatiana the Queen of the Faeries and the exploits of the faeries in the world of Eterna Fadas.

The truth is that Tania Elizabeth does believe in fairies. The author of the beautifully written book series, the Tier of Eternal Grace, has had her fair share of this mortal coil and the gift given to her is an insight into the beauty that lies beyond this world. Founder and director of The Tier of Eternal and advocate for the Satrlight Children’s Foundation, Tania has always immersed herself into the Fae World so many times that she is now able to bring her own unique insight. ”I have always had a very innate connection with the Faerie from a very young age. I remember being in my father’s acreage, 56 acres of rain forest, sitting there writing, communicating with the Faerie. As I grew I allowed life to cease all of that, then it came to a point in my life where I knew it was time to reach out and connect again.”

All three books are available from Amazon and Tania’s website. We are priviledged for Tania to share with us an exclusive, from her new photo shoot series of Tatiana. These incredible photographs are just a sample of the world of the faerie that is awaiting you in the Tier of Eternal Grace books. ”We have been brought up in a society where fear and doubt has tainted our ability to create, understand and see magic. We need to trust and believe in the signs they show us...who we are and what our life purpose is. The Tier of Eternal Grace series is available from Tania Elizabeth’s website - Tier of Eternal.

Soul Traveller Radio FEATURED ARTIST EDO & JO The acclaimed Australian kirtan duo are back from a two year recording absence to present two new offerings, Bliss and Chakra Meditation. They are one of the busiest duos on the Kirtan circuit, touring for the last six years around Australia, India and South East Asia. And now they are set to crack into the US bhakti scene with outstanding performances at this year’s Prana Fest and Bhakti Fest. Soul Traveller Radio caught up with the beautiful couple prior to their US trip, following a sold out album launch in Paddington, to discuss the new albums, their musical journey and the launch of their new charity A Sound Life, supported by their fellow artists and friends, Ben Lee, Lisa Mitchell and Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun. Following on from Kirtan Alive, their first album, one of Australia’s best selling kirtan CDs, Bliss and Chakra Meditation was released on August 16. Oozing with devotion, Edo and Jo merge the ancient mantras with a sound we haven’t yet heard before in this genre. This music goes straight to the heart, soothing, uplifting, mesmerizing and electric! Chakra Meditation draws on Sound Yoga (Nada Yoga) the ancient spiritual art and science of inner transformation through sound and tone. In this cd, Edo & Jo share a profound and simple mantra meditation practice they were initiated into by their teacher and living saint, Sakthi Amma. The cd also contains Ya Devi, a delightfully soothing track for deep relaxation and perfect for yoga shavasna. As the Soul Traveller Radio featured artist this month, we have a special gift for Sage Readers - the Bliss Sampler EP featuring 2 new tracks from Bliss and 3 tracks from their first album, Kirtan Alive. Any donations go towards A Sound Life. To listen to the full interview with Edo & Jo from Soul Traveller Radio, click the Soundcloud logo below.

Signs of life understanding spiritual aspects of symbols by peter dean

ISSUE 06

The two symbols in this issue come from very different cultures. Yet, a great similarity exists between them. It shows that certain images have been and are still a worldwide phenomenon. After all, spirituality remains the same wherever people try to enter its fascinating domain. In fact, the first symbol, the Sunwheel, has been used by a variety of nations. In its simplicity it has been a helping agent for many practitioners of the esoteric. The second symbol, the Ashoka Chakra, comes from India, but it could almost be an adaptation of the first one. It shows once again, how these powerful images created and create a connection between all members of humanity.

SAGE magazine

sunwheel symbol The Sunwheel, has been used by a variety of nations. In its simplicity it has been a helping agent for many practitioners of the esoteric.

What does the Sunwheel mean to you? Once you think that you have found what is right for you, you go for it hook, line and sinker. Nothing will stop you, not even the greatest and most difficult obstacles. Just be careful! You are also a bit too much of an idealist. That, combined with your natural enthusiasm, can lead you in the wrong direction. You might follow a path which is not worth your efforts. In other words, weigh up any proposition that comes your way carefully. Fight your impatience and take the time to think before you make decisions.

Some Neolithic carvings of this symbol have been found on rocks at Dowth (meaning Darkness) in the Boyne Valley, County of Meath, in Ireland. They are several circles with rays, obviously depicting the sun or perhaps some other stars. The rocks are placed within a large site of mounds, more than likely tombs. Scientists have established that they were built at approximately 3,200 BCE. This makes them older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Giza.

You are strong and you have the ability to create happiness and positive feelings in the people around you. This is a gift that you should use, not only in private life, but also in your profession. You are a natural communicator, so come out of your shell and enjoy what life offers you.Be careful not to start moving too fast. Sometimes you overtake yourself. It is painful to lose yourself in the rush to get to the finishing line.

Later depictions of the image were found in many European countries. In fact, cultures outside Europe used it as well. The Egyptians, the pre-Columbian Americans and the African Drogon tribe were familiar with the motif.

You are not very good in handling disappointments. They can lead you into feelings of worthlessness, and that is totally against your very nature. Try to steer away from anything which creates pain for you. Especially if the pain is emotional or psychological.

It was often seen as an image of power and supremacy. The circle obviously symbolizes the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disk, while the eight spikes were more than likely portraying the two equinoxes, the two solstices and the four seasons. Since the symbol also looks like a wagon wheel, it conjures up constant movement and the irresistible progression of time.

You can be a bit fickle in your relationships. Until you find a partner who turns out to be your soul mate. Then you will be extremely loyal.

The Sumerians and the Babylonians used the Sun Wheel as a symbol for the goddess Ishtar, a deity representing the planet Venus. While both the Babylonians and the Assyrians depicted the eight-rayed star as an image for Shamash, sun god and god of justice. The Dogons of Mali in Africa use this symbol to describe a heliacal rising. This phenomenon occurs when a star, a planet or a constellation appears in the eastern sky at dawn, only to be swallowed up by the much brighter light when the sun rises. In their case it is the sighting of Sirius, the Dog Star. The Dogons also believe that they originated from the stars.

All in all, you are a very positive personality. A lot of people will find it a pleasure to be around you.

motif was devised during the reign of Emperor Ashoka The Great, who was arguably the most powerful and influential ruler in India. In fact, his empire covered most of the sub-continent, stretching as far as the Iranian border and to Bangladesh on the other side.

Chakra is a Sanskrit word, translating as ‘wheel’, but can also be interpreted as ‘cycle’ or ‘continuing The second symbol, the Ashoka Chakra, comes from process’. The deeper meaning is a depiction of India, but it could almost be an adaptation of the the cycle of time, the changes occurring during its first one.

This in itself has a symbolic meaning. Because the

SAGE magazine

Legends tell us that he could kill a tiger with nothing more than a wooden rod. When he became emperor in 273 BCE, he made many conquests, including the brutal war against Kalinga, a country on the east-coast of India. He later stated that about 110,000 people had been killed during the two-year conflict. Tradition maintains that it was this devastation that made Ashoka come to his senses. He now embraced Buddhism and that is possibly the most important achievement of his reign. Without it, the new religion would not have been promoted in his empire and soon throughout the world. Emperor Ashoka changed his policies. Nonviolence became the rule and even wildlife was protected. He ordered that all religions and politics should be tolerated. He introduced equality for all his subjects, regardless of caste. Elders, teachers and religious men had now to be respected. But, most importantly, he believed in increasing the education of his people. He had universities built and wanted all basic facilities improved. Ashoka left behind not only a legacy as one of the greatest rulers in history but also many buildings, structures and monuments. On many of them the Ashoka Chakra can be found. The motif has twentyfour spokes in a circle, very easily interpreted as a wheel. The twenty-four spokes represent twenty-four virtues. To name just a few (and those which are more relevant to us): love, peacefulness, courage, patience, empathy, truthfulness, justice, gentleness, self-control, mercy and supreme wisdom.

What does ashoka chakra mean to you? Like all of us, you are burdened with the struggles of life, sometimes more, sometimes less. However much you try, you will not escape them. Spend some time sorting out your priorities. Make order in your life. You can get tense very easily and quickly. Keep your temper and your thoughts in control. Life is continuously moving ahead, regardless if you make the best of it or not. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to waste any time. Each moment is precious and should be used in a positive frame of mind. You have the power to work out any shortcoming you might have. Your ability to be persistent is a great asset. You can also use it in your professional life. When others have long given up, you continue doggedly and are rewarded with success. You are extremely interested in bettering yourself all the time. Especially by furthering your mental and spiritual qualities. Study, both formal and by yourself, and the gaining of knowledge are extremely important to you. Be careful with choosing friends or partners. It hurts you too deeply when you have to face a disappointment. Stay aloof and be cautious for enough time to find out whether the other person is really what he or she seems to be. Basically, you have been born under a lucky star. It appears that way, although deep down you know that it is really you who creates your destiny. Keep focused and strong and you will reach the goals that you have set for yourself.

Dolphin Inspirations ride the surf by eva annaluna

As we arrive at the bay this morning we see some cloud cover over the ocean. The sun penetrates through the overcast sky, keeping the air temperature nice and warm. There is some wind and the ocean looks rather choppy with white caps upon it. Not the most inviting sight for a morning swim, but that changes as soon as we see dolphins jumping up out of the ocean, riding the waves with joy. We swim out and dive underneath the waves. The further below the surface, the less the waves affect us. The vision underwater is not as clear as usual, as the rough water stirs up the sediment that looks like thousands of little snowflakes. It feels slightly intimidating to swim out into the ocean today; we prefer to see where we are swimming... and with whom! However, we feel comforted by the high pitched squeaks and sonar clicks that we hear all around us. The dolphins sound wildly enthusiastic today!

After this delightful swim we feel grateful for what the dolphins have showed us today. When the ocean gets rough and the waves are high in our lives; play! We move through many different galactic frequencies that surround the planet at this time. We experience ups and downs in our energy as we adjust to the new vibration of love coming in. We need to channel those high frequency energies to stay in the flow. High surf can make us feel agitated; the energy needs to be directed in a creative flow. We may tense our muscles or hold our breath when we resist stressful situations. Rather surrender and relax as much as we can. Create a piece of art, write in your diary, go for a walk... Play with friends and snuggle with your partner. Use the energy in a playful way, rather then taking life too seriously.

The choppy water, high swell, wind and cloud cover; it doesn’t really help with keeping a clear vision. Sometimes we have to face our fears and move The moment that we almost give up our search, forward courageously and blindfolded, taking a since we can’t see that far under water, three deep dive into the unknown.

The dolphins accelerate, spin around and weave together. Playfully they start awaits us! The dolphins tell us to connect with chasing each other through the bay, and they love it each other and to exchange playful and loving that we are surprised to see them every time as they energies. We can either see the waves as scary and dangerous... or we learn to ride the surf, like race by just a few feet away. Our vision is not that clear, but the dolphins use their sonar echo location the dolphins do. We may not be as trained as they are in their natural habitat, but we practice and we and they know how to navigate precisely through learn. We have compassion for each other, since the murky water. The waves are getting higher and together we form one human pod. Let’s play like the higher and when we surrender to them and relax dolphins... our bodies we are gently rocked back and forth, it starts to be fun. We dive down with the dolphins Surrender to the flow and go... Life is fun! and squeak and laugh as we see them riding the waves. They are such acrobats, no matter the weather or the water conditions, the dolphins have In remembrance of the Hawaiian Elder ’Auntie AKA’, fun either way!

Scientists studying the phenomenon of Braco’s Gaze report that it takes place beyond the level of ‘energy healing’. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience 6 Gazing Sessions each day during the Festival in addition to an outstanding program of Seminars, experiential workshops, psychic Mediumship demonstrations and live music concerts. The 4 day event takes place from October 16-19 at a new venue, the Belmont Park Racecourse which has the capacity to accommodate the huge crowds expected to see Braco.

Finding your SOUL number

your numerology with michelle buchanan

ISSUE 06

SAGE magazine

Are You Listening To Your Soul? becomes an 11/2 or 22/4 Soul Number. In Western numerology, the Soul Number otherwise known as the Soul’s Urge, Soul Desire or Heart’s Desire Number reveals what motivates you Example: and what you need in order to feed your soul. In other words, it reveals what your heart desires and MARY ANN SMITH what your soul urges you to accomplish in this life in order to feel content. 1 7 1 9 Sometimes the hustle and bustle of everyday life can quiet the calling of your soul, and it can be difficult to determine what your soul is longing for. This is why practices such as meditation, yoga, conscious breathing, qigong and quiet alone time are so important. They allow your soul to communicate its needs via your intuition. Even when you’re unable to practice these activities, your soul is constantly making its needs known to you all you have to do is listen.

HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR SOUL NUMBER Step 1: Using the letter-and-numbers chart above match the relevant numbers to the vowels in your ‘full, original birth certificate name (regardless of whether you currently use that name or not).

1 + 7 + 1 + 9 = 18 1 + 8 = 9 Soul Number Now, let’s take a look at the Life Path Number meanings:

Is Y a consonant or a vowel? Some numerologists believe Y is always a vowel and others believe it’s only a vowel when there are no other vowels in the syllable or when the Y is next to (or in between) two consonants, such as in the names Wynn, Yvette and Lucy.

Others consider Y a vowel when it is preceded by another vowel in a syllable and together they provide the vowel sound, such as in the names Step 2: Add the numbers across then add any Tracey, Kaylene and Boyle. As there is no right or double-digit numbers together to get a single-digit wrong answer, you’re going to have to go with your Soul Number - unless they total 11 or 22 which then gut on this one and do whatever feels right for YOU..

Numerology is my passion and I’ve studied it for more than 20 years. Although I was drawn to astrology and metaphysics as a child, it was a numerology reading at the age of 21 that turned my life around. I was so amazed by the accuracy of my ‘numbers’ that it prompted me to begin a 20+ year journey to discover more.

THE SKY VIBE for the soul traveller by marc laurenson

”what exactly are eclipses? a solar eclipse occurs when the moon crosses between the earth and the sun obscuring the suns light for a period of time. a lunar eclipse happens when the earth shadows the moon as it travels” between the moon and the sun.”

the sky vibe for september September opens with curious Mercury buzzing into Libra on the 2nd bringing a sense of calm to the more rational side of the brain. Here the mind wants to create middle ground, find some peace within duality and balance its perception. All this sounds rather tranquil if you are in tune with it, but if you are not this balancing act could get a little angst ridden. Compromise, negotiation and understanding where others are coming from are not human natures best attributes, yet if you want to get through this month peacefully you will need to give them your best shot. Otherwise be prepared for a month of ups and downs. Venus swans into Virgo on the 6th, creating a rather noticeable shift in energy after her time in Leo. Here she becomes less overt and more in tune with her need for self-development. Her attention becomes focused on what she can do. There is also a level of refining her value system and self-worth as well as how she can develop in all areas of relationship. Achieving this will depend totally on getting the ego out of the way and to concentrate on areas of help, service and honing her skills. If she remains self-concerned this could be a worry filled month of intense self-criticism and not feeling good enough, so be very aware of keeping your attention ‘on the job’. The Full Moon on the 9th is at 16 degrees Pisces conjunct Chiron. The shining lunar light now highlights our need to heal by connecting whole heartedly to all of life. This is the healing of a wounded soul, so on this day spend a moment in quite time, meditate and reflect. Release all attachments to things that do not matter, particularly the most painful ones and realise how futile they truly are in the grand scheme of things. The following day Venus makes an appropriate opposition to Neptune in Pisces adding her own flavour to this story. Here we see the Goddess of Love needing to grow through a deeper understanding of her purpose. Her desire to connect personally is now challenged by merging with the whole and her feelings of love now begin to expand. If you are not willing to let go of any needy habits around love and security during this time you may impose upon yourself an even deeper level of emptiness until you do. Simultaneously from the 10th- 13th Mercury manoeuvres its way in to challenge Pluto and Uranus by square and opposition respectively. The messenger of the Gods is now faced by radical change, bringing certain hidden issues up for you to purge. These few days could be powerful with what is said, what you learn or what you find out. It could even be a

major confrontation with your veiled self. However it manifests it will definitely be an interesting conclusion to the Full Moon, Venus/ Neptune lead up. The New Moon on the 24th at 1 degree Libra occurs on the same day as Mars comes in to square Neptune. This may look like an extreme contrast of energies but if you join the dots you can see what this vibration is saying. The Libra New Moon is planting seeds of equilibrium and accordance, wanting to start the Lunar month on a more balanced note. To achieve this we must now work on any insecure needs that want to win. Mars wants a victory, in its less attractive form it is into ‘winners and losers’. Neptune knows no separation, opposition or foe only oneness. Here the New Moon wants to start the month on an equal playing field, letting go of the need to ‘one up’ anybody. The desire to let go of being on top is imperative to beginning the Lunar Month in some form of peace. Always remember the planets won’t make you do anything. The choice is always in your hands. They will provide the wave for you to ride how you surf it is totally up to you.

the sky vibe for october This month I would like to solely concentrate on the Eclipses. We will experience a Total Lunar Eclipse at 8.50pm (AEST) on October 8th and a Partial Solar Eclipse at 7.56am on October 24th (AEST). What exactly are Eclipses? A Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon crosses between the Earth and the Sun obscuring the Suns light for a period of time. A Lunar Eclipse happens when the Earth shadows the Moon as it travels between the Moon and the Sun. Solar Eclipses are always New Moons and Lunar Eclipses are always Full Moons, and because the paths of the Sun, Moon and Earth are coming into parallel alignment an Eclipse always occurs very close to the Lunar Nodes, which are the intersecting points of the Sun and Moons orbital paths. This gives Eclipses a rather dramatic flavour and can often provoke rather eventful change for those affected by them. New Moons offer initiation, new beginnings and rebirth. Full Moons on the other hand illuminate fruition, seeing yourself with utmost clarity and expanding through peak experiences. Coupling this energy with the vibration of the Lunar

Nodes we have the South Node needing to release and heal the past and the North Node beckoning you toward the future. This all sounds extremely powerful and Eclipses often are, yet they are only potent within the playing field they are given, that being the birth chart.

The Solar Eclipse on Oct 24th is at 0 degrees Scorpio and is conjunct Venus newly entering Scorpio as well. Those born in the first 3 days of Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus and Leo will be most affected by this Solar Eclipse.

This Eclipse is North Node opening up brand new territory to be explored and Venus who opposed If you have a planet particularly the Sun or the Moon at the zodiacal degree of the Eclipse, then the year will the Lunar Eclipse is now back in the story this time conjunct the Solar Eclipse.

The Lunar Eclipse on October 8th occurs at 15 degree of Aries, if you were born between the 5th-10th of April, July, October or January you will feel the effect of this eclipse in full strength. This Eclipse is South Node, conjunct Uranus in Aries and opposing Venus in Libra. Pluto in Capricorn also squares it creating an even stronger need for transformation. Here we notice some rather intense changes concerning your freedom and the need for independence. This will be tested mostly in your relationships with others, not just with your significant partners but with anyone who you feel could be stifling you. This will be a big year in taking back power and becoming more fearless. For those affected by this Eclipse you may feel a strong desire to strike out and do your own thing. You could even feel a little more rebellious than usual, which could be a backlash against too much people pleasing and feeling the need to always do what others want just to keep the peace. This could be a huge step with evolving into the person you truly are, but it could mean ruffling a few feathers, especially with those who want you to act a certain way just to please them. There is some important energy with bolstering your self-value here as well, recognising a more authentic sense of security by coming to terms with your uniqueness and not needing to be everybody’s ‘cup of tea’. Played well this Eclipse could be a major turn around with letting go of any pent up anger or passive aggression that you may have been carrying around that has blocked your freedom and true sense of self.

Here we are faced with a year of change concerning these issues and many of our fears may come up to be conquered. This is very much about power, not fear based earthly power but a power that is invincible and impenetrable in the face of intimidation. Any shaky areas concerning our relationships and personal security are now ready for a rebirth and anything that is stopping us from owning our power will come up to be addressed. Here we see how much value we put on the valueless and how much importance we put on the superficial just to keep us ‘looking good’ on the outside. This is a house built on sand and this Eclipse is about a rebuild on rock. Always remember the planets won’t make you do anything. The choice is always in your hands. They will provide the wave for you to ride how you surf it is totally up to you
