S

ince my second stint in hospital in 9 months for kidney infection I have rethought 2014 as far as White Light Expos & decided to give myself some TLC instead & not organise as many this year.

So at this stage I’ve only got one booked for the Gold Coast & that’s at the Currumbin RSL Club on Sunday 29th June 2014.

Instead I will be an exhibitor at many Expos on the Gold Coast, Brisbane & the Sunshine Coast.

I had the pleasure of being in Sydney recently for my mothers 91st birthday which seemed to be an eating fest, but it was very yummy.

She needs a walker now but she’s as sharp as a tack.

Plans are slowly falling into shape for the big trip to Chicago at the beginning of August. Karen Eby is doing a sterling job of putting it all together & there are a lot of Aussie exhibitors going over.

My gorgeous lil grand daughter Gabby is doing exceptionally well at school & has been winning Study Ladder Awards quite regularly & the youngest, Natalie starts Kindy, they are growing up so fast.

Until next time, Go with Love & Light...

“from little things, big things grow”

assage Schools of Queensland was established on the beautiful Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. Founded in 1988 by Lena Crawford who realized there was a need and a market to establish a training centre for people who were interested in becoming a professional massage therapist.

offering specialized niche industry based training in massage and body sciences, they are a nationally accredited registered training organization, renowned for their high academic standards, excellence in teaching and professionalism.

From humble beginnings in a one room office space with a few anatomy posters on the wall, Lena began her dream of teaching professional massage to a handful of eager students.

Slowly over the years as the massage industry took off and became more popular, the school grew and grew, attracting more and more people to the profession, eventually becoming large enough to move to a new premises in Burleigh Heads, a famous surfing mecca in Australia, and employing other massage professionals to help her develop and train students in the various subjects and courses that were available at the school to learn what it means to be a professional massage therapist.

In 1996 Lena’s daughter Rhona McKay joined the business and also with the support of Lena’s husband Kerry, this entrepreneurial and hard working family have over the years built Massage Schools of Queensland to be a well respected and reputable registered training organization, delivering quality massage qualification courses to both domestic and international students.

Merry Meet and welcome to the realm of Runes…an ancient system of Magik and Divination, runes come to us from the Northern Teutonic peoples.

It is believed the earliest runic symbols were gifted to the shamans of the Bronze Age and therefore it is fitting that the word, rune, stems from the German word, raunen which means “to whisper”.

These runic symbols were later developed into a sacred code of symbols merged with a Northern Italic alphabet that gives us the ‘glyphs’ with which we are familiar today.

Such a combination has allowed the runes to simultaneously bring Magik, logic and insight together.

Although each rune , like most tools of Divination, has a set of associations or ‘fields of meaning’, there still is a fluidity to their interpretationas, intuition, still has a part to play.

Within the following issues I will take you on a runic journey to explore each glyph and its particular field of meaning, Magikal apllications and associated Dieties.

Until then I have listed the first of the 3 Aethir and their general meanings followed by Rune Magik/Ritual for the current Seasons Brightest Blessings, RavenSpell x

RUNE MAGIK/RITUALS

As March welcomes new beginnings with Ostara in the North and to the South we celebrate Mabon I have chosen runes to craft for each.

Ostara: new beginnings. Rune: Kenaz; Beacon, light, power to create/transform

You will need: dried sage, a fire proof bowl, lavender oil, a black, white and yellow candle, a lighter and 6 small pieces of paper to write and draw on, a pen. (if you have Tarot you may include the Fool card on your Altar)

Preparation: cleanse yourself and your sacred space, meditate on that which you wish to let go of and that which you wish to invite. When you are ready write the ‘let go’ item/s on a piece of paper and do the same with the ‘invite’. On the remaining four pieces draw the Kenaz glyph < .

Put the sage in the bowl and set on your Altar, position the four Kenaz glyphs to the points of North, South, East and West circling the bowl. Place your candles as thus when facing your Altar…black to the left, white to the right and the yellow above and centred behind the bowl.

Light the candles, black first, yellow next and then white.

Taking up the paper of which you wish to let go take a moment to contemplate on this… and then set it to the flame of the yellow

candle and place in the bowl and as you allow three drops of lavender to fall on the ash SAYING: As Ostara’s Light casts the dark from my life I let go of all past strife NOW hold up the paper with your invite SAYING: As all that was is laid to rest in the now and future I invest Then contemplate on all that you wish to invite visualising the positive effects evolving. Set the paper to the flame of the yellow candle and place in the bowl as you again take up the lavender allowing three drops to fall upon the ash begin SAYING: Ostara’s Light has banished the old in me new beginning She does unfold My Lord and Lady this is my plea Bless these changes that stir in me As I have spoken SO IT MOTE BE Mabon: giving thanks for the second Harvest.

The Autumn Equinox, the year shifts from Light to Dark and so the focus moves from the masculine to the feminine (god to goddess) and from external work to a time of reflection. The lord has given seed to the Lady.

You will need: to acknowledge the Mother and her Autumn mantel so we will have a white and an orange or brown candle (small). Fruits and flowers of the Season: apples, grapes, wine, apple or grape juice, leaves and a bowl of some Earth. A drawing of the Rune FEHU, and if you have Tarot you may place the Empress upon your table or Altar.

This is a thanksgiving ritual that may also assist with bringing abundance or continued abundance into your life.

Prepare your sacred self and space, create an Altar decorated with the bounty of the SEASON. Place your Earth and coloured candle to the Left side as you are facing your Altar, the wine or juice and the grapes to the right and the white candle in the centre.

Light the coloured candle and reflect upon what you have achieved and harvested in the past year.

Light the white candle in gratitude for all that you have received SAY:

In gratitude today I pray to you my Lady for all my Blessings you’ve sent my way

Set the drawing of the FEHU to the flame of the white candle and place in the bowl of Earth.

Take up the chalice or glass of juice or wine and take a sip.

SAY: Thank you Lord for bounty and seed we thank you for your sacrificial Deed

Pour the remaining juice or wine into the bowl of Earth and allow the candles to burn down safely; if this is not possible snuff them out never blow out your candles.

Take the bowl of Earth, juice and paper ash and in gratitude offer them in libation to the Earth.

t is I Mikael shining forth upon you the cosmic heart of humanity. I hold the sword of truth and illumination to light your way.

For too long I have been held in the image of the strong masculine slayer of the dragon, protector of humanity. The strong he-man of the angels!

Ah yes I am the protector of humanity. I do use my sword of light to cut away the cords that bind you and the demons of your mind when you call to me.

My dear ones this is only half the story, only half of whom I am for I too embody the sacred feminine as indeed do all beings of light and love. Within each of you is the masculine and the feminine.

It is time to stop the oscillating of the pendulum and return to center. In your center is the sacred marriage of the masculine and the feminine.

in your power, your light and your love.

Carry both the light of my sword and the love my heart in your hand.

I am Mikael in love light and humility.

Close your eyes now and drop into the core of your being, down… …….., down…………., down……….. until you feel you are a tiny seed of creation. From the consciousness of this seed call forth your feminine and masculine aspects of yourself………………… …….Watch how they appear to you………………Watch now as they merge together and show you the magnificence of yourself… ………when you are totally merged with the totality of who you are……………..

Acknowledge the wholeness of who you are and feel yourself begin to expand and become the magnificence of your being…… …….Open your eyes and know you are complete, whole and perfect.

Embrace the world and your life from this whole hearted embracement.

Long Shadows

by Mar ye-Ann Azzarello

T

he wheel of the year continues to turn and as the early mornings and the nights get cooler we can feel the approach of autumn even as the afternoon sun is still hot. As we watch the days wane we notice too that the shadows are growing longer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the days grow shorter and the night arrives earlier.

More is changing than the temperature of the air. As we watch the physical manifestations around us that indicate change we can begin to feel the shift in the energies. The vibrancy of summer with the rampant growth in both the vegetable and the animal kingdoms is being replaced by a quieter energy. In the midst of summer we are very aware of the excitement and intensity of growing things, just as we are aware of things moving toward the quiet of dormancy in winter. The transition seasons of spring and autumn are more subtle but nonetheless represent a very real shift in the feeling of the energy around us.

Take a few moments to relax and allow yourself to

connect with those energies. As you do so you will realize that you are responding differently to your environment than you did when the energies and feel of summer were still around us. What do you notice?

How do you feel? This autumnal energy that is leading us toward the quiet of winter is preparing us to make the major shift from rampant, fecund growth to dormant, silent rest This is the time to look back at what you did during those summer months when everything was bursting with the energy of life. Look at any projects you worked on over the summer and evaluate where you are with them. Are you where you wished to be at this time? If not give some thought to how you can change that. Perhaps you may decide to make a shift in your intended goal. Goals are not carved in stone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are meant to be changed as time goes on.

If you feel that you do need to make some changes but you are reluctant to do so, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unusual.

When we set a goal we have an expectation of

meeting it and we invest time and energy into it.

When something happens that requires us to reevaluate we will often feel cheated. After all, we set that goal with the best of intentions and we worked on it with the best of our abilities. So why is it not happening?

There are many reasons for this. The same reasons why a spell might not work as we planned.

This doesn’t mean that we were wrong when we set the intention and did the work. It just means that circumstances have changed and what we wished as an outcome is no longer appropriate.

Fighting against this, agonizing over it, being angry and frustrated, are all normal reactions but they are reactions that we must move through and get past, because it is now time to take another step forward in life and focusing on the past is not going to help – either how we feel or what we finally do.

One lesson in all this is stated very well by Shakti Gawain – ‘hold your goals lightly.’ Be willing even as you set a goal to make changes as they are needed. Don’t be invested in the specific outcome – be invested in things coming together in the right way at the right time.

As you work with this you will find your outlook

shifting. You will realize that you are no longer rigid in your thinking. That you are swimming with life’s current easily and with a conscious understanding of what is happening around you.

So welcome these days of the long shadows – that first clear indicator that the season is changing and summer is retreating to give way to autumn.

Realize that this marks a time of change in many things, including in our thoughts and expectations.

Train yourself to understand that to change your mind is a good thing when all indications show us that a shift needs to be made.

Once we accept this need for periodic change life becomes easier all around. Things move more easily and flow more freely. So try this simple exercise. Allow change to happen, welcome it and rejoice in it and know that you are moving with the energy of the Universe toward a beautiful outcome – which may be an outcome that you had never considered. Be partial to the surprises – life is full of them and we ought to enjoy them.

Cover Story

M

Roosy Spirit

y Spiritual Journey began at a very young age when I lived in my own world. I used to have conversations with relatives passed over. They visit me in my dreams and often I can speak to them even when I am not asleep. I was fascinated with the mystical world and felt very drawn to it from as far back as I can remember.

As a young girl I used to visit my grandparents every year. Lying on the terrace at nights, where all the cousins who were visiting, slept pretty much in communal harmony, chattering away until the wee hours of the night, I distinctly remember looking up at the sky studded with stars and feeling the fascination at the universe and all its mysteries. I also remember being able to always smell jasmine flowers long into the night, even if a jasmine bush wasn’t in sight!

There was a distant paternal aunt of mine who used to be revered because she would get into these trances where all the relatives would suddenly go hushed in awe as she would spin around the room and fall in exhaustion with her tall dark hair around her and then say meaningful things to some people present in the room. I remember some relatives nodding at what she had to say to them and then they would fold their hands in silent supplication. Others would weep because she had struck a poignant nerve about someone who had passed over. I asked my grandmother once what was happening and she shushed me saying she gets the Goddess in her sometimes. This phenomena was very much like trance platformship except that her audience was usually other relatives who would wait with bated breath till her next episode.

My maternal grandfather was also very interested in astrology, palmistry and all things mystical. I still remember his library of books vividly and was always in awe how he loved to know more about all these things. He loved reading about crystals as well and often experimented with them. He made me read Cheiro’s Handbook of Palmistry. I also remember reading one of his favourite books called “She” and then later read Ayesha, the Return of She , which is a gothic-fantasy novel by the popular Victorian author H. Rider Haggard, published in 1905, as a sequel to his far more popular and well known novel, She. Who would have imagined at that time that I would call Australia home many years later and be living in the state of Victoria!!! Was that a mere coincidence I wonder? My grandfather also talked to me about birth and rebirth as well as Karma. My own uncle is said to have been reborn in my grandfather’s family 5 times already and still has 2 more lifetimes to complete. This is as per a 14

soothsayer who had appeared, literally out of nowhere and announced this fact. He even asked my grandmother to look at the giveaway marks on my uncle’s ears, which have apparently been coming down his many lifetimes. When my grandmother checked, these marks were there when my uncle was very little by the way. My great grandmother also used to have visions, much like I do now.

I hail from a very Spiritual Sikh family. My parents are direct descendants of the 1st Guru namely Guru Nanak from my mum’s side and the 3rd Guru, Guru Amardas from my father’s side. I feel very humbled to be coming from such a holy lineage. My paternal grandfather was the president of a renowned large temple called Goindwal Sahib in Punjab, for many years before he died. Every time my parents took us children there for few nights, I used to love helping out in the communal kitchen where many people from all walks of life were fed free lunch and dinner.

When I was 11 years of age, I used to use a divination tool that had its origins in Japanese and Chinese cultures and was given to me by my grandmother. So since the age of eleven, I started doing mini readings for friends and family. I also developed my own way of doing readings using leftover candle wax. On looking back I wonder how I had known that I could use that as a tool for doing readings. But knowing what I know now, I was being guided by Spirit and also using the inner knowing which is a big part of what I use today when I work with Spirit during client sessions.

In my later years I developed different skills within the Spiritual, Metaphysical and New Age sphere including working with my Spirit guides, Tarot, Numerology, Mediumship, Angel cards, Oracle cards and Energy Healing.

I moved to Australia almost 17 years ago from India. The moment I stepped off the plane and laid my first foot on Australian soil, I remember feeling I was home! In fact I naturally felt more drawn to this side of life, as in working in the Psychic industry after I moved to Australia. Maybe I had a past life here amongst my other past lives that I can now remember.

I reside in South East Melbourne, in Rowville. I absolutely love being able to help others. That has always been my passion since I was very little. I love my work and have come across some really gorgeous people who are my clients within Australia and overseas.

Some of the people I look up to are Guru Nanak, Buddha, Kwan Yin – the Goddess of Compassion, Joan of Arc, ( who is a fellow

Autumn Edition 2014

Capricorn like me ) Mother Teresa, and poets like Khalil Gibran, ( who is also a fellow Capricorn like me ), Omar Khayyám, Kabir and Pablo Neruda to name a few. Interestingly both Joan of Arc and Khalil Gibran were born on 6th of January.

I have an interest in writing poetry as well and have written many poems while growing up. One day I would like to publish my poems. I used to resonate with pain, whether others or my own, and when the feelings used to get overwhelming, I remember taking a sheet of paper and the words used to just come through. I didn’t have to “try” to write my poems when the feeling hit, each poem simply spilled on the page.

Since the last 3 years or so I have been associated with PsychicTV OZ as well, on the screen as well as behind the scenes at times. It’s been a wonderful journey so far. I fly up to Sydney as often as I can, which is probably not often enough, but having my own clients in Melbourne for readings, energy healing and guided meditation sessions, keeps me very busy.

I’ve been doing phone readings as well as face to face private consults for almost 15 years now, where for the first many years of doing so, my practice grew simply via word of mouth. I was managing a telecommunications service bureau as well for many years in Melbourne and that used to leave me less time to work with my clairvoyant abilities. So quite often, readings were limited to the weekends. But since 2009 I have been doing this work full time professionally now. On looking back I feel Chiron had a big part to play forcing me on this path where I am now, as a psychic medium clairvoyant tarot reader and healer. In fact a lot of the 3rd eye opening has happened as an organic progression. It’s not something I have done courses for.

I was told while I was growing up that one should never buy a set of tarot cards and one must be gifted a set. This kept me from buying my own tarot cards for many years. But the more I thought about it, the more it simply did not resonate with me. So one day I decided to browse a few stores and opted to purchase a set that I felt most drawn to. Well, in my mind I was gifting the set to myself! In doing this I was using my own choice as well as intuition and I am so happy I went with my gut. My intuition has always been very switched on.

I remember almost 15 or 16 years ago, I was at a local supermarket in Melbourne, doing grocery shopping at night. I had only 2 shopping bags but decided to use a supermarket trolley. While going out towards the car park, I passed a liquor shop and the tube light above my head buzzed. I looked up and heard this voice say to me, “leave the trolley here…now!” I shrugged to myself and ignored that thinking nah! can’t be happening. As soon as I passed another tube light on my way out, the same thing happened again. This time the buzzing was even louder and the voice came through again. I paused and thought, should I leave the trolley here? But totally ignoring both messages I carried on saying to myself, probably just me being silly or imagining things. What harm can come if I just keep moving with this trolley? I found my car in the car park and kept both bags inside the car, pushed the trolley into the parking bay and drove off. Little did I realize at that time that I had left my black leather wallet in the trolley!!

I only found my wallet missing in the morning next day and backtracked in my mind where I could have left it. I then remembered those 2 warnings, which I had royally ignored. If I had paid heed to the warnings from Spirit, I would have left the trolley at the

supermarket, and not missed picking up my wallet in the lit area. But because it was so dark outside, and my wallet was black, I did not see it in the trolley and left it there. Spirit must have known that will happen.

I lost all the rent money that I was carrying in cash that night as I had planned to hand the month’s rent the next morning to the real estate agent in that shopping centre. Perhaps I started to work with Spirit more closely after that incident.

I feel that we come into this life with some set points that are preordained by our destiny. The readings are a fantastic way to see what our choices are to get from point A to point B and to get clarity along with a sense of direction.

I have clients internationally as well as in Australia. I use a mix of tarot, mediumship, numerology, counselling and work with my sprit guides.

I am caring, compassionate, and non-judgmental. Even though I do use the tarot, it’s not the only divinity I use while doing my readings.

The cards speak to me, either through their pictures or symbolism.

Sometimes linked cards may join to create a new situation that I may see for people I read for. I work with Spirit and at times the messages I get are very lucid, other times cryptic messages can come through as well which the client and I have to work through or “unscramble.”

I pick up on certain vibrations, energy and or aura’s when speaking with a client whether face to face or on the phone. I am clairvoyant, clairsentient (feeling, gut feeling) and claircognizant (knowing) and an empath. All the clair’s usually come alive when I am in session. Quite often I can pick up on past lives as well.

One way that I am probably different to other mediums is that I do not “call” anyone who has passed over whilst performing readings for clients. I made an unspoken pact with Spirit that when I am in session, I am an open channel and any positive spirit who wants to come through for the client I am reading for, can do so. And that’s how it happens most of the time. It feels so amazing to be able to be a channel for messages or any information they wish to give for their loved ones.

I have appreciative and happy clients who have received guidance & insight from my Spirit Guides. I ensure that my client’s discussions are always kept completely confidential. I’m a professional member of the international psychic association. I love taking part in some of the Psychic Expo’s. It’s always lovely to work alongside other talented friends in this industry and bump into old friends as well as make new connections.

I read from the heart! I read from the soul! Each reading is unique. I channel directly from Spirit. I never know what’s going to pan out, who or what’s going to come through, till I am in session with a client. Book a reading with me today and let’s see what comes up from Spirit for you.

I provide face to face private consults for people who are able to come and see me. For those who are not able to see me personally, I provide Phone/Skype readings and E-Mail readings. Energy healing and guided meditation are some of the other services provided by me.

I also do chakra balancing and alignment. I run workshops for psychic development in Australia and overseas as well as organize psychic parties.

I love the work that I do. It gives me such great satisfaction to be able to help others.

Making Peace with

I

By Jane O’Connor-Chapman

hope that you are enjoying this shiny new year and that being kinder and more loving towards yourself was part of your new resolution.

The work that I do as a spiritual healer involves assisting people with finding methods to help them become more loving towards themselves...more accepting and non-judgemental.

Change occurs firstly with our thoughts, choosing to lighten up with the incessant inner critical chatter and actively replace those negative words with more beneficial positive life enhancing words is where we first begin. Being in the natural flow of life, away from the worries, the self created woes, is a beautiful space to reside within. It is achievable for each and every one of us. So right here, right now in this very moment as you read these words I ask you to have a think about loving, liking and embracing who you are right now...not tomorrow, not when the beds are made....not in a few weeks when you have lost weight...right here and NOW.

Be accepting of the beautiful human being that you are in this breath. Your mind will fight you as you think of all the things that you do not like about yourself....the thing to do here is to flick each one of those negative inner dialogue remarks around into things that you DO like about yourself and your life. For every negative thought that pops up give yourself the gift of two positive thoughts....carry on with this for the next few days and I promise you that you will feel lighter and less burdened than ever before. Another wonderful thing to treat yourself to is an aura cleanse...

(although there are exceptions to this). Our auras can also harbour the energies of unwanted thought forms (such as negative self-images and negative self-talk) and unprocessed emotions. Any of these foreign energies can make our energy field less balanced, and can cause blockages to the natural flow of energy in our field.

When our auras are harbouring unwanted energies, we may feel tired, down, unbalanced, depressed, out of wack, anxious, "not quite ourselves," or even ill. I myself feel unwanted negative energy as muscle twitches and a sharp stabbing pain in my shoulder. The good news is that we can clear our energy through various aura cleansing techniques.

Aura cleansing will make us feel more vibrant, clearer, happier, and far more balanced in thoughts and attitude towards our own lives.

There are many aura cleansing techniques. Here are just a few of the ones I use myself: 1.

If I sense negative energy I immediately take a deep breath in and hold this for a count of four. On the exhale, the out breath I say to myself ‘negativity is not welcome here… .only love’.

2.

I go outside and embrace nature. Sitting next to a tree in my garden or in the local park and being within the trees

Aura cleansing can help you stay well and feel more alive, more clear-headed, and more emotionally stable and balanced. Our auras, or energy fields, interact constantly with the energy of others. It's not uncommon for us to take on some of the energy of other folks. For example, have you ever been in a great mood, then spent time with someone sour and negative, only to find that your good mood has disappeared and you feel drained? If so, you have most likely taken on some of the energy of this negative person. Usually it does not serve us well to absorb others' energies into our own auras 18

Yourself Right Now.... own healing aura is wonderfully refreshing. If I am near the ocean, I run into the waves or just stand there in the ocean with my jeans rolled up, open up my arms and thank the ocean for healing my aura.

If you can't get out of the city, get a pot plant on your desk and in times of stress stick your finger into the dirt. It sounds crazy but believe me, before I became aware of my psychic ability I worked in brokerage services in a highly demanding stressful job and intuitively did this many times. Try it, it really helps you disconnect from the negativity around you. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to give thanks to the plant though.

3 Smudge yourself with a sage stick or incense stick.

Waft the smudge or incense stick around your body from head to toe, allowing the smoke to purify you.

4 Crystals are great aura purifiers. Crystals that I use are Chiastolite, Black Quartz, Rainbow Obsidian, Black Tourmaline and the highly vibrational stibnite (take care when handling stibnite, its toxic). Being deeply psychic I also wear a labradorite pendant at all times as this is a powerful psychic protection stone.

You can carry a crystal with you in your pocket or in the left side of your bra next to your heart, or wear it around your neck, or keep one at an altar or at the side of your bed or under your pillow, as your aura radiates in all directions round you.

If you're feeling the need for something more powerful, lie down and place the crystal on your brow, between your eyebrows and a little above. Relax, breathing deeply and comfortably, and imagine a white, purifying light emerging from the crystal and surrounding your body in universal loving white light. Giving thanks to the crystal and the universe afterwards.

I cleanse my crystals by placing them outside on a cloth every full moon.

5 Imagine your body completely filled with white light.

Visualize the white light purifying and restoring your body, and displacing any negative or foreign energy. Imagine slowly breathing in golden light, and exhaling darkness. Give yourself time to enjoy this feeling.

Expand the light beyond your body, as many times as necessary until it extends a foot or two beyond your body--or where-ever feels intuitively right. Visualize or feel it purifying and restoring your field, and displacing any negative or foreign energy, pushing it out into the universe, where it will be neutralized and reabsorbed into the cosmic field. Give yourself time to enjoy this feeling.

Try some of the above and you'll feel heaps more relaxed, peaceful, clearer headed, hopeful and positive about your life.

If your own efforts don't seem to be working for you, you may want to contact an experienced energy healer such as myself.

Sometimes we all need a little help!

Blessings, Jane

Creating a Personal Brand Identity to Gain Clients

T

he wellness and alternative medicine industry has grown substantially over the years, with global estimates to reach approximately $115 billion by 2015 (Reportlinker.com).

Products and services range from herbal and nature-based ‘medicines’, acupuncture, homeopathy, massage, meditation, and hypnotherapy – to name a few. The overall industry is continuously expanding with new products and therapies entering the marketplace on a daily basis. It is challenging for the general public (as well as this professional) to keep abreast of ‘what’s new’.

I recently attending the Health & Harmony Expo on the Gold Coast, Australia and found that many exhibitors were not promoting their services in an optimally professional and eye-catching manner. Of the 100+ exhibitors, there were only a few ‘brands’ that caught my 5-seconds of attention to the point that I stopped to find out more about their services.

Most healers and health professionals are sole practitioners, trading time for money, and dependant on a client base in a competitive market for on-going income. So the question arises, “How will YOUR services stand out from the others?” Every one of us is a brand; the challenge is how to make your brand be top of mind when people think of your industry or specialty area either locally, nationally or internationally – depending on where you want to be known.

Most everyone has heard of the term ‘Unique Selling Proposition’ or USP which is defined as the real or perceived benefit of a good or service that differentiates itself from the competitors (Businessdictionary.com). The USP usually has been related to marketing and positioning one’s business. There is also the PBI or Personal Brand Identity which is incredibly important to sole practitioners. PBI is about who you are and what you want to be known for. Comprising your PBI can include your physical look and attire, your ‘energy’, your sound, your behaviour, your assets (including skills, experience and passions), and your ‘brand statement’ or ‘brand mantra’.

by Dr Dion Klein

personal trainer who currently smokes? Or a healer who promotes unconditional love yet makes racist remarks? Also be careful what you promote on Facebook and other social media platforms; some professionals have regretted posting information that has proven detrimental to their career.

What story or other assets do you have that makes you stand apart from your competition (and we all have competition)? Consumers choose individuals for their services based on many factors: qualifications, industry experience, relatedness (e.g., mum to mum), testimonials from others, to name a few. Decide what asset(s) make you different and make sure your consumers know it!

Lastly, your ‘brand statement’ or ‘brand mantra’ is a brief, simple, and memorable statement describing who you are and what you have to offer. The content can be based on emotional appeal, your target audience, and what service you offer people. You can also use it as your ‘pitch’ at networking functions.

Personal branding must become a key focus in your marketing strategy especially with the increased focus of the internet and social media platforms. By embracing and implementing the suggestions given in this article, you will surely be on your way to having a powerful PBI.

‘Dr Dion’

As we are all mainly working in the ‘energy’ space and are familiar with sound and vibration, I am not going to take the time to go into these areas and would like to concentrate on the other four.

Firstly, your physical look and attire. Looks may not be everything but many people do judge on the first impression. One of the best investments I did a year ago was to hire an image consultant to find out my colours and season (I am a ‘Summer’) and then get professional photos taken. Are you wearing suitable colours that make you shine or does what you wear make you look washed out and unwell? A picture says a thousand words … what do others think your photo saying about you?

“Actions speak louder than words.” What actions do you perform that can be perceived to be incongruent with your marketing message and your PBI? For example, how many of you know a 20

Autumn Edition 2014

A wander through the beautiful Shambhala Gardens is one of the highlights of any visit to Crystal Castle. The wonderful story of how these magnificent gardens came to be inspired us to share this with all of our White Light readers. Enjoy the history, we did.

By the year 2000, more and more people were coming to visit the Crystal Castle. Wanting to offer people something more, Castle owners Naren and Sono King decided to open up the grounds, giving access to the amazing hinterland views, and to create a display within the gardens that would provide their visitors with a deeper and more profound experience.

‘We had the idea to put statues in the garden and we wanted to bring in some symbology from the eastern spiritual traditions,’ explained Naren. ‘As a family we had visited the extraordinary ancient Buddhist temples at Borobudur in Java and we were struck by the deep sense of spiritual presence that we felt there. The idea for our gardens was conceived.’

In 2004 Naren and Sono went to Bali searching for statues, but although they scoured the island they found nothing of the stature that they were imagining. Finally they heard about a master carver in Java and this was where they found what they were looking for. Rather than the average garden statues they had been seeing in Bali, here were extraordinary works of art that would normally only be found in a temple.

Getting the statues back to Mullumbimby was quite an extraordinary journey. It took 30 Javanese men, equipped with 100 pieces of wood and two little red car jacks, a massive 30 non-stop hours to get the Blessing Buddha crated up and into the shipping container. Once there he filled the entire container with only 2 centimetres to spare on either side of his knees. The reverse procedure at Brisbane docks took precisely two minutes!

Naren recalls, ‘I was granted special permission to attend the unloading but I arrived at the docks ten minutes late. There in the middle of a huge warehouse I found the Buddha, already disembarked, with five blackcoated customs officials gazing at him in complete silence. He also caused quite a stir with motorists when he travelled on the back of a truck down the highway to Mullumbimby!’

But the Kings were struggling with where to put Ganesh. ‘We had designs mapped out on the back of envelopes and we had a place for everything other than the destroyer of obstacles himself,’ remembers Sono. ‘Toby, who was six years old at the time, came over and pointed at the centre of the welcome circle at the entrance to the walk. “Put him there,” he said. And that’s where he is – a highly appropriate place for a deity to whom people traditionally make offerings when about to embark upon a journey!’

The work on the ground finally began in 2005. Local landscaper Keith O’Brien was given the role of creating the Buddha Walk and over the following years the vision, section by section, took magnificent shape.

The result is a truly unique experience – a gentle half-kilometre walk offering spectacular views of Byron’s hinterland, taking you through glorious gardens, across terraced lawns and down a magical bamboo staircase. Huge monolithic crystals line the path: fuchsite, sodalite and aventurine, the spectacular amethyst geode pair that forms the gateway, and giant rose quartz and clear quartz crystals from Brazil weighing between half and one tonne each. Along the walk there are many shady spots in which to sit and reflect on the amazing handcarved deities, to read their stories and, if you wish, to contemplate the aspects of existence that they represent and the ways that these manifest in your life.

‘The Shambhala Gardens has become a place of ceremony and celebration, a place of marriage and a place of farewell, a place of peaceful contemplation and a place to play music and party. And the vision is for more and more things to happen there,’ said Naren.

Sono, in summing up her experience, adds, ‘Over the years since the walk was created it has been amazing to feel the energy of the Castle deepen. Maybe it’s the power of the statues or the collective presence created by people slowing down and being with nature – either way, the shift is tangible and it is a privilege to be witness to it.’

Once back at the Crystal Castle the statues in the four containers had quite a wait before they were installed in the gardens. The entire budget destined for the Buddha Walk had been spent on buying the statues and getting them home and it took Naren and Sono another year and a half to raise enough money to complete the project.

There was plenty of design work to be done however. The amphitheatre was originally the site of a leaky dam and it seemed to make sense to terrace it and create a space where people could gather. With that central element decided, the rest of the walk fell into place around it. www.whitelightmagazine.com.au

CREATE YOUR REALITY

he consciousness of Earth and all its inhabitants is constantly changing, and last October saw a shift which effectively has taken off our ‘trainer wheels’.

Now anything is possible, there are no limits. What we think is what we create and what we create affects every Being here on our beautiful planet.

Previously, we had a ‘buffer’ to help us stay on track - a limit to the possibilities - and this helped us to a certain extent, however what this tapestry of support didn’t fully allow us was full freedom of choice. On Earth we have the ability to make choices in everything we do, everything we feel, everything we say and everything we think. These choices define our lives and the lives of those around us.

With the removal of the tapestry now anything is possible and what we create is what will affect all.

This is an exciting and wonderful time. Think about how you want to create your world, how do you want your days to be, who’s in your world with you, what are you doing, where are you living? Anything is possible so take the time to think about this and start consciously creating. We have the power to be whatever we choose, it’s all about choice and action. Everyone can create, we just need to empower ourselves to step out and make the choices, knowing you have the ability and the power to change your world. We are not leaves floating on the breeze at the whim of the elements; nothing and nobody can make our choices for us unless we allow them to...and even that was a choice to allow it. Everything comes back to a choice we made.

So think about your choices and change those that aren’t what you want for yourself. Taking responsibility for your life is very important. As mentioned, you make every choice for your life, even giving away to another the ability to make a choice started as your choice.

The ability to make wise choices usually relates to how you are feeling at the time. Your level of consciousness at any one moment directly and substantially affects your day and your life. If you are feeling fearful, angry, frustrated or sad your daily life will reflect that. Conversely, if you are feeling happy, full of love or excited this will be reflected in how your day goes and what you bring in. Our vibration – the

22

frequency our energy field vibrates at - goes out into the ‘atmosphere’ or ‘consciousness’ along with every other thing on this planet. Those sensitive can palpably feel the effect on the global consciousness when events happen such as the sadness from Diana’s death, the fear from 9/11 or the joy when the Berlin Wall came down. At a festival you can feel the excitement; in busy city streets you can feel the stress. We feel what we and others around us put out there, as we are all connected energetically.

There has been interesting studies done on our levels of consciousness and how it affects our world. Dr David Hawkins in “Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants in Human Behaviour” calibrated emotions and put them into a sliding scale showing the effect of different emotions on the consciousness. It makes very interesting reading. A key comment coming from his studies is that one person who’s living on the level of Willingness (the gateway to the higher emotions) or Acceptance (taking responsibility) negates the energies of 90,000 people who are below the level of Courage. And when it rises to the level of Reason (Statesmen, Nobel Prize winners) one person negates 400,000 who are below Courage! There is a substantial effect on the planet and all its inhabitants when we increase our level of consciousness.

Here are some tools to assist you (and your level of consciousness) in your daily life.

• Start your day with a request to the Universe: “Please help me be a better person today” and see where that leads you.

• Do your daily energetic hygiene as you would your physical hygiene: o Cleanse your energy field. Two simple and effective methods that can be used anytime, anywhere are: - Filling yourself with White Light - see the bright white light inside your heart centre and ‘grow’ it out so it encompasses your whole Being. Feel how it lifts you. Repeat throughout the day.

- Use the Violet Flame to cleanse you – see a violet flame flowing throughout your body cleansing

every aspect as it moves around and through you.

Don’t forget your auric field. o Cut any energetic connections to others – it doesn’t matter who to or why, just intend to see any cords, strings, attachments of any kind in your mind’s eye and ‘cut’ them however you want to. Fill yourself with pure White Light afterwards.

Do Affirmations. Keep them positive and start • with “I am...” Affirmations are very powerful and a great tool. Do them with feeling i.e. come from your heart when talking to yourself, not your head space. This takes it into every cell in your body and creates you.

• Watch your thoughts. Remember that your thoughts create your world so by keeping them positive, and by not going into negative emotions, you will make a better life for yourself. You have total control of your thoughts, nobody tells you what you think, they are solely your own choice.

• Stay grounded and present. Being grounded and present allows you to enjoy so much more of your life. To create you need to be in the ‘now’, not tomorrow or yesterday.

• Focus. Focus is like a laser beam....when you give intense focus to something you create it quickly and easily.

If your thoughts are scattered across a few different things then the energy is less to each of them and therefore less effective. Focus on one thing at a time.

• Mindfulness. Take time in your day for a few minutes of downtime. It may be whilst you are in the bathroom or having a coffee break. Still your mind, give it a much needed break, take some slow deep breathes and you will feel rejuvenated. Consider others and respect their opinions, even if they differ from yours. If you can’t love someone for whom they are, then at least honour their soul. They are on their path too, learning as they go, just like you.

Gratitude. Feeling gratitude has been proven to • substantially increase wellbeing. It is also a lovely energy to put out there.

came here to do, the only limitations to it is your belief patterns and maybe timing. We are powerful and can do anything!

Remove Limitations. Look inside, find what • patterns or emotions limit you and remove them. A simple tool is to visualise the limitation or emotion on a piece of paper, then place that paper in a ‘basket’ to be taken away up into the sky, or see a flame destroy it. You can physically burn it on a piece of paper too...whatever works for you.

Remember we are like an onion...we have many levels, so as you remove and clear one layer there may be more that pops up. Don’t give it any emotion – for that energises it – just do the work clearing things away that aren’t for our highest good. Remember when clearing anything to always have the intent that it happens with ease and grace and for your highest good.

And finally....be kind to yourself. Self love is • extremely important. Know that you are perfect. You may have a few things to work on, but we all do and that is what being a human in all about. We are perfect Works in Progress!

It looks a lot of work, however I can assure you it’s not, and as it becomes part of your everyday life it becomes easier and just happens. It’s simple, effective and one of the best ways to improve your life and wellbeing. In our busy world we make excuses for not doing things that make our lives better. We’ll spend hours per week on exercise but forget that our inner self is far more important than the physical.

Our physical body can only be as healthy as our inner self, not the other way around, so take time to create a better world for yourself...and others. It’s all about making the choice to be a better YOU. Sharni Ra’harni is an intuitive Personal and Business Consultant.

Further information can be found at www.SharniRaharni.com.au or email Sharni@SharniRaharni.com.au.

Visualise your world. Visualisation is a very • powerful tool. ‘See’ yourself in the world you want to create....doing, being, receiving, feeling and living it. Great athletes visualise themselves running every step of a race, and winning, prior to physically running it, as it tells the body what is possible and thus creates it to be so.

Believe you can. Self belief is important. Know • that you have all you need already in you to do what you

Sacred Feng Shui

D

uring my last Feng Shui visit to FNQ in November, I went inland and visited my dear friend Kuku Yalanji Elder CJ Fisher in China Camp.

My new little tent, self inflated mattress and pillow were safely stuck in the bottom of my backpack, I added enough food for the duration of my stay. I was wondering how I was going to handle carrying 17 kilos on my with my frozen shoulder and walk 32 kilometres on the Creb track. I caught the local coach in Mossman and got kindly dropped off on the track turnoff just after Wujal Wujal. I felt very lucky when I heard that morning that someone was going to China Camp and could pick me up on the way. I started walking and connecting with the Ancestors – “Yalada” – I thanked them to welcome me again. I praised and honoured their beautiful country. Even thought the wet season had started, deep inside my heart and Soul, I knew Spirit was going to look after me. A white Toyota picked me on the way and I arrived in no time. What a blessing, thank you!

Each time I visit that place, I learn so much about the Land, about Culture, about our differences, about compassion, about myself too. It is a journey.

Sunday morning CJ and I headed for our walk north of the Roaring Meg falls. We greeted a couple of visitors on the car park and headed off further. We walked and stopped in a few places and swam safely in the river where permitted. We were relaxed, we were connected, we were One with the place and with the whole Universe.

While dipping in a calm water spot, a gorgeous turquoise blue and shiny black damsel fly gently landed on CJ’s forearm.

It turned and looked at him in the eyes. It stayed there. After a minute, CJ looked at me and said “This never happened to me

26

- Story of the blue Damselfly -

before” - he was in awe. The fly flew off and landed again a few seconds later, at the same spot. It is only when I approached him that it flew away. That was an omen. Which omen?

I went to my special place, my favourite rock in the area and sat down. I connected with it and suddenly I felt a shake under my bum - you know like when you have your mobile phone on buzzer in your pocket. I jumped and took my camera out of my front pocket and I laughed thinking, I don’t even have my phone with me and my camera wouldn’t buzz! “My” rock was connecting, I love this! Was this another omen?

On our way back to the car park, three men greeted us with the sad news that a lady had slipped from the Meg Falls a few hours before. Could we be of any help?

The police officer arrived and we offered him assistance in the search. It is a Women sacred site after all; we all had to be careful and respectful. I asked him what colour the lady was wearing...

“Turquoise blue top and denim shorts” said the officer. I said to Colin – “Exactly the colour of the damsel fly that landed a few hours ago on your forearm.” We were speechless. Damsel in distress...

This is a very sad loss indeed. The body of the lady was found a couple of days later by the professional divers at the bottom of the fall. The signs and warnings on site mention to be careful and stay safe. The Roaring Meg now counts over a dozen of deaths, mainly men who are trespassing and disrespect the Sacredness of this Women’s site.

Australia carries aboriginal energy; many of us are white or new Australians. To integrate fully in this country, please learn about the aboriginal culture and knowledge from the Traditional Owners.

Autumn Edition 2014

A Journey with my Master Respect is essential. Understand our differences and adapt accordingly. We are the new comers, sometimes some are still intruders – many don’t realise this. A few years ago, I passed my exam and became an Australian citizen. I failed the question about cricket; questions were only related to the history of the country since white men came. I was very sad to see absolutely no question in regards to aboriginal history and culture.

I share this very personal story with you to emphasize the importance of Respect.

Sacred Feng Shui is about connecting with the Land, the Elements and the Ancestors. Life is worth investing in sacred knowledge.

Through The Eyes of a Faerie Is fate predetermined? Or is fate forever changing?

“Do we allow the thoughts of our minds determine our outcomes, or do we allow the circumstances that play about us to provide us with reason to give in, give up or walk a path less desired than the one we had always believed our lives would take?”

Friends, family, the next door neighbour’s cat. All plays a part does it not? Our past – is it our present, does it cast a shadow of either good or bad upon our future impending? All that is and all that is to come, is only what you presume it to be.

Yes, our pasts make up part of who we are today. Though they need not be all of who we are, if we so choose. Just as each person who crosses your path, could in fact change your outcomes to which you are to step within next. At any given moment, in any given day, the fate in which you call your own is determined within every thought process you attain . . . whether that be your own thought or another’s.

Ceearne; a faerie of green and violet hair; petite in size, and eyes of vivacious pure purple, is a faerie of much wisdom and great foresight. I, myself, have come to love her dearly.

Although her sight and memory held is vast, she very rarely speaks of the future’s in which she is often shown, for it is her

belief and understanding that fate was a funny thing and that there was no certainty to anything that come to pass.

That there was no such thing as the perfect path, that there was no such thing as one path. She said that we each chose our destined paths within each choice we make, from as insignificant as what we plan on having for breakfast. Therefore, fate, as so many label it, changes all the time. The only predetermined course that would ever be made, was the one in which you choose in that very moment. If you hold true to that choice within every waking morning and every eyes of sleep, than it would be. Unfortunately, it can take only one simple silly doubt or fear to override every possible positive outcome.

So to answer the question in which led . . . Is fate predetermined? Or is fate forever changing? I believe the answer is both.

Our fate is preordained to a degree.

Though remember, you are the master . . . you hold the key to each door, you hold the pieces to each puzzled flooring. If you come to a fork in the road, do you step right, or do you step left . . . do you choose hurt and hate, or do you choose the bigger and better choice of you. And remind yourself, in any and every circumstance, there is always light to be found in the dark . . . you just need to trust and look in the right direction.

Falafel - A Middle Eastern specialty consisting of small, deep-fried croquettes or balls made of highly spiced, ground chickpeas. They are generally tucked inside pita bread, sandwich style, but can also be served as appetisers. A yogurt or tahini-based sauce is often served with falafel.

Fenugreek - A very hard seed grown in the Middle East, which is used as a spice. Its dominant flavour and aroma is recognisable in commercial curry powders.

Fettuccine - Flat narrow pasta noodles less than wide and a bit thicker than tagliatelle.

Ficelle - The French word for string.

This is a term used in cooking to describe foods that have been tied to a string and cooked in a broth. This was a practice in villages when a communal pot was used to cook food. The string was used in order to allow the owners to identify and recover their piece of meat. This is generally applied to tough cuts of meat that require long periods of cooking. Yet, some restaurants are using the term to describe a more tender cut of meat that is poached in a rich broth. Beef filet and duck breasts are two good choices for this type of preparation.

Financier - A small cake or cookie that is made with ground nuts and whipped

by Steve Duncan

egg whites. These are soft like sponge cake, and have a rich flavour of nuts.

Fines Herbes - A mixture of chopped fresh herbs consisting of tarragon, parsley, chervil and chives. Dried herbs may also be used, but their delicacy is lost.

Five Spice Powder - A dry spice mix used in Chinese cooking consisting of cinnamon, star anise, pepper, clove, and fennel.

Flan - This is a term that may be used to describe two different preparations.

The first use of this word is describes an open top tart that is filled with pastry cream and topped with fruit. Flan is used in Spanish and Mexican cooking to describe an egg custard that is baked in a large shallow dish, and flavoured with caramel. The dish is inverted when served and the excess caramel is used as a sauce for the flan. The flan may be flavoured with orange, anise, cinnamon, or liqueur.

Fleuron - A small crescent shaped pastry made of puff dough that is used to garnish fish dishes and soups.

Florentine - This is used to describe foods that are cooked in the style of Florence. The word is most commonly associated with dishes containing spinach and sometimes a cream sauce.

Steak cooked ala Florentine is a large T-bone steak, rubbed with olive oil and garlic, grilled and served with fresh lemon on the side.

Flour - This is the finely ground grain of wheat, corn, rice, oat, rye, or barley.

Unless specified, this term refers to wheat flour. Flour is milled from a variety of wheats containing different amounts of protein. The different levels of protein give each flour unique qualities. All-purpose flour is the most commonly used, especially by the domestic market. This flour is milled from both hard and soft wheats, giving it the strength needed in bread baking, but leaving it tender enough for cakes and pastries. Bread flour has a higher protein content so that it may withstand the constant expansion of the cell walls during proofing and baking. Cake flour is milled from soft wheat, thus containing a very low protein content and preventing the development of gluten. Pastry flour is of relatively low protein content, containing just enough to help stabilise the products during leavening. Whole wheat flours are milled from the whole kernel, thus giving it a higher fibre content and a substantial protein content. Semolina is milled from hard durum wheat, being used mainly for commercial baking and pasta production.

Focaccio - An Italian flatbread made with pizza or bread dough, that can be baked plain or topped with onions, zucchini, eggplant, cheese, or whatever you choose.

Foie Gras - This literally means goose liver, but the term is used to describe the fattened liver of both duck and geese. The birds are force fed a rich

mixture to help expedite this process.

These livers are praised for their delicate flavour and rich, buttery texture. The largest production of commercial foie gras is done in France and Israel.

Foie gras is prepared in a vast number of ways, though one should remember to keep these as simple as possible to avoid masking the flavour of this treasure.

Fondant - This is an icing made of sugar syrup and glucose, which is cooked to a specific temperature and then kneaded to a smooth, soft paste. This paste can then be coloured or flavoured and used as an icing for cakes and petit fours.

Fondue - There are several different types of fondue, the most notable of which is cheese fondue. This is a Swiss specialty in which cheese is melted with wine, eggs, and seasonings and served with bread and fresh vegetables.

Fondue Bourguignonne is a pot of hot oil into which the diners will cook strips of meat and dip them into an array of sauces on the table. Similar to this is fondue Chinois where the hot oil is replaced by a rich chicken or meat broth. The meat, and fish too, are then cooked in this stock and dipped in sauces. The Japanese have a dish called shabu shabu, which is similar to this type of fondue. Named for the swishing sound that the meat makes in the broth, this dish is also served with vegetables and noodles in to be eaten along with the meat. A chocolate fondue is a chocolate bath, flavoured with liqueur and eaten with bread and fruit, like fresh berries. These are all dishes eaten as much for their social qualities as their culinary grandeur.

Fonduta - An Italian style fondue made

of Fontina cheese and served over toast or polenta. Exceptional with truffles.

Frangipane - A pastry cream made of butter, eggs, flour, and finely ground almonds or macaroons. Modern versions will use a combination of cornstarch and flour. The nuts must be very finely ground for this to be successful. This type of raw cream is baked in the pastry shell or crepe.

Frangipane is also the name for a type

may consist of vegetables, meat, fish, shellfish, or fruit. The food may be dipped in the batter or mixed with the batter and dropped into the hot fat to form little balls. Japanese tempura fried foods are a type of fritter, though this term is not applied to it.

Fritto Misto - An Italian mixed fried platter, similar to the Japanese tempura platter. A mixture of vegetables, meat, and fish are dipped in a light batter and quickly deep fried to prevent a saturation of grease into the food.

Fruit Pectin - A substance found naturally in fruits such as apples, quince, and all citrus fruits. Pectins ability to gel liquids makes it a key ingredient in jelly and jam making. You can purchase pectin in powder or liquid form, or use high pectin fruits in the recipe.

Fugu Japanese for swellfish; globefish; blowfish; balloonfish; puffer. Fugu is caught in winter only, and it is eaten as chiri-nabe (hotpot) or fugu-sushi (raw fugu, sliced paper-thin). Only licensed fugu chefs are allowed to prepare this fish in Japan, since it contains a deadly poison.

of panada used in making force meats.

Fricassee - A stew prepared without the initial browning of the meat. Though chicken is the most common form of this type of stew, fish, vegetables, and other meats are prepared in this manner.

Frittata - An Italian open-faced omelet.

Fritter - Food that has been dipped in batter and deep fried or sautĂŠed. These

Fumet - An aromatic broth made for use in soups and sauces. The flavour of a fumet is usually concentrated on one item, though multiple ingredients may be used. The stock is then reduced to concentrate this flavour. Fish and vegetable broths are more commonly called fumets, but meat may also be used.

Fusilli - Spiral shaped pasta. Some versions are shaped like a spring. Other versions are shaped like a twisted spiral.

Q

uestions & Answers

One of the biggest blessings for our soul’s growth and life purpose is that we live in a world of polar opposites. Highs and lows, abundance and lack, lost and found, with many more and lots of variables in between. But when we feel lack or lost, sick or sad, we may ask the Universe… Why is this so? How is this a blessing? The blessing is that opposites can guide our lives and soul purposes to experience what we want, often through the experience of what we do not want, and the willingness to change that. In a world of opposites, we have the choice to experience ourselves at either end of a scale, or somewhere in between. If the soul wants to experience ‘finding itself’ in this life, it may first create the illusion of being ‘lost’. If it wants freedom, it may experience slavery. But we are not enslaved by this phenomenon.

Rather, we can be freed by it, if we choose. Through experiencing what we do not want in our lives, we can then know what we do want. We can make our choices accordingly, set our focus to what we desire and move forward from one polar opposite to the next. So next time you feel unhappy with where you are, lost or sad, please remember to look at which end of the scale you are on, what would be the opposite feeling that you would prefer to experience, and then change your focus to giving yourself that energy. On Earth, we can change where we sit on the scale of polar opposites. What a Blessing!

Love & Light Gaia Will I have another baby this year and will I deliver naturally?

Chook W

I see money matters are a priority for you in the first half of this year. I feel you saving for a larger purchase and am told there is some unexpected money coming your way, which will help. There is certainly another child for you but I feel a discussion with your partner is needed, as he may have a slightly different focus. I am shown Early next year and get a yes to natural delivery.

Will my heart recover from the loss of my best friend?

Melinda F

You have sturdy feet on this Earth. The loss of your mate was untimely, and so, this is hard to accept. Trevor has gained much understanding of why he was 'called home'.

He says, "Do not be afraid to move forward" I hear the name Linny or Melly - an unusual nickname. He says you normally have the warmest (hottest) heart. At any time you can visualize him and you sitting by a campfire Autumn Edition 2014

having a chat. In time your heart will heal, especially when you warm your heart with the knowledge that he is safe and well and most certainly at peace and do you know a Tod? I just heard that name.

Does my ex-husband regret leaving and will I meet someone new romantically this year please? Lorraine W

It's so true that sometimes you don't know what you've got till it's gone. I'm told for you to watch your focus, or change focus from your past partner's direction into the new. He has major walls up to prevent you from seeing what he's doing in his life now. When you change your focus, and release him fully, you will be very happy again. I'm told you will have 2 men to choose from.

I’m worried about my eldest son, will he be alright?

Mandy E

I feel how drained and tired you feel. Michael is such a strong soul, but can be stubborn and fixated at times. This makes helping him

difficult & saps your energy. This is what's called a 'control drama' and a lot of folks work with these until they can find a higher/better source of energy. I feel this is not done on purpose, and sometimes when we take a step back, because we've taken an energy source away from them, often the reaction is one of anger. That will pass quickly. If you can do that, you will see how quickly he learns and moves through this difficult phase. He is a good young man.

Your son has a lot to learn in this life, and will be around for a long time. But he needs to learn which of his old ways or experiences are no longer working and perhaps look at discovering some new tactics.

I’m in the midst of a career change to holistic healing for planet & people. Will I be successful in this transformation and fulfill my life’s purpose?

Mark B

You are one strong being! I see you in meditation pose. Very centred. As I look around you I see there is still need for balance within your transition. By that I feel guides meant balancing of spiritual work, and the physical world i.e. finances/work.

You are clairaudient (among other things). I hear the following words: "People skills", “get in with the right people” and “you will move far and wide”. I get a beautiful sense of being humble. Keep up the good work.

2018 is the time I'm given you a destiny year for you.

Will Daniel and I have a relationship?

Tanya S

You are such a sensitive soul! You can sniff out BS a mile away. Enjoy the moments with this one! Take note of any past hurts, fears or worries that are surfacing. They do so because they are still needing some TLC or releasing. Sometimes this is what friendships do - bring out old hurts to be healed. I feel that is primarily the journey with this guy, but that can develop further. I also get another D name for you, such as Darren or Derrick. If this is not someone from your past, this may well be someone for your future. Either way, I do not see you alone, and I get the year 2017 as a particularly special year relationship wise for you. I even feel marriage.

Are things going to get better for us this year like, money and are there more children?

Alicia D

You've had to make some hard decisions in the past 18 months. I'm drawn to your kidneys, which are the seat of fear (according to Chinese medicine). The opposite of fear is Love. You can actively transform fears around money etc into gratitude and love for the little things in life, and what you have right now. I feel you are tired of waiting. I actually just heard the pitter patter of small feet, but feel it is a puppy, not another child just yet. This year there is still much to do to get ahead, but I feel it won't be as challenging as the last. Just remember to actively use the power of gratitude and love and this year will fly by

into an even better one next year. Onwards and upwards.

Will family issues improve this year please?

Amy K

A family discussion will set matters straight.

One male needs to come down off his high horse a bit and you will see that this year. I feel you will all be a lot 'wiser' at the end of this year. So much emotion held on the inside of you. Holding it in gives you headaches. Learn ways to release pent up emotions. This year you will see a couple reunite, there is news of a new baby and I'm shown a lovely Christmas. An older man in spirit, who always sat at the head of any table (even at his work), is overseeing family matters and helping where he can. I hear the name Uncle Joe/Joseph.

I don’t have a question I can think of but what can you see for me?

Loree H

Straight away I have itchy palms. You may need to let go of a plan that involves quite a bit of money - for the time being anyway. I try to look elsewhere but keep being drawn back to your hands. Hands relate to what we are doing physically, especially with work. As soon as I say that my feet hurt.

Feet relate to 'where we stand in life'. I feel you may need to take a deeper look at your work, and how you feel about it. Perhaps you are feeling a little taken for granted at the moment. Do not worry though, this is a year of action and movement for you and I feel that next year it will be easier for you to save up for a trip away.

Autumn in Queensland

W

hen the word ‘autumn’ is mentioned one immediately thinks of trees full of colourful leaves in all the shades of crimson and orange and people bundled into warm clothes, while winds whip the scarves about their necks. In Queensland though, the reality is quite different. Here we are more likely to be still suffering the effects of a summer which does not want to relinquish its hold. It can be difficult to get into the spirit of the season under these conditions. So how does one go about invoking the spirit of autumn in hot weather?

What is a Pagan?

Earth based spirituality.

Reverance for the Earth.

Seeing Spirit in many forms including both Male & Female Deities

From a pagan perspective autumn is all about the harvest – both actual and metaphysical – so decorating your sacred space in autumn colours is a good beginning. A small bundle of wheat or one of those tiny golden nugget pumpkins laid upon your altar can act as a reminder of the harvest you have reaped this year – and we all have a harvest of one sort or another. We may have achieved success with a project or learned a new skill, or we may have had a breakthrough in understanding of some sort.

Sometimes our harvest is as simple as the love we receive from a friend. But all these things only come to us if we first plant the seeds and continue to nurture them throughout the year, so the harvest is your reward.

Although metaphorically we plant in the spring and harvest in the autumn, in reality we may reap our harvest at any time of year, it’s just that autumn is the time set aside to reflect on what we have achieved.

When we are surrounded by the symbols of the harvest we are reminded to take stock of our lives and see where we have gained a desirable yield and where there is need of a little work if we are to reap what we desire. This is the time to celebrate the good harvest and resolve to work on the problem areas.

Even in a year filled with weeds there will always be some crop worthy of gratitude if only we look for it. So light your candles, look at all that’s good in your life and give thanks.

Blessed be, Morganna.

The Magic of Language Autumn 2014 Edition March, April & May 2014

Presented by Rhondda Doherty

T

he journey of language as a creative consequence continues in this Autumn Edition.

If we get the concept that the Soul is continuously communicating with the Body then included in the minds understanding of the Soul / Mind and Body connection is how each individual interprets the language.

To clarify what I mean here in terms of language the spoken word, although important, is not the only messenger the Soul uses..

Consider also the significance of the written word, the thought, what is seen through the physical eyes or heard with the physical ears or felt through the skin, or known intuitively through feelings. All carry a resonance, a frequency and therefore form part of the language of the Soul.

To me the Soul is the knowing of all that is, all that was and all that is to come for it is the piece of God that holds all the answers to any question we would ever ask. Therefore it understands the language we use on

an individual level to create our reality. I know I keep saying this, but how well do we know ourselves and the mediums we use, in any given moment, that has an impact on our physical environment.

The very nature of the season of Autumn is one of slowly winding down from the constant activity of Spring and Summer. It is a time of conserving ones energies in preparation for Winters hibernation. A time of shedding all that has reached it’s zenith and now begins to slowly decline. The Sun has already reached it’s zenith and so begins it’s northward journey.

How well do we know this? For the transition of the Sun is just as important as the seasons of the Earth or the phases of the Moon in terms of the impact it has upon the body.

My question here is how in tune are we, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, to the rhythm of the Earth, to the Sun and to the Planets. All hold the keys to the language of the Soul, or the source of all life as we know it. Yes the trees change colour, indicative of Northern Hemisphere Winters, but our country is

intrinsically evergreen. My point here is without other outside influences how would be know it was Autumn?

What would happen if we were in tune with the changing of the Seasons? Would we shed the excess as do the trees, would we conserve our energy or would we continue to keep up the fast pace in order to maintain our creation? If we choose the latter its no surprise to note how many people get flattened energetically and physically through illness or accident or work stress or relationship issues simply because they were not listening to the language of the Soul, through the Earth and all her messengers.

Why wait till Spiring to have a clean out of excess

physical, toxic ways of being, or thinking or doing, when Autumn and Winter simply cannot carry all that physical weight into a time of preparation for renewal. Why wait till your body gets fed up trying to get your attention through seemingly random outer physical events, when the time to start listening to your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s language is now.

2014 is a year of knowing your Soul, the resources you used to get you to this point in your individual evolution, where you wish to go next and what you no longer need in order to get you there! Use the Autumn season as a doorway into knowing your Soul and how it speaks to you!

How do things just Materialise out of thin air???

C

an things just turn up when lost? Materialise over night? I say yes as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened to me twice now. The first time was a few years ago, I was staying with a friend in Perth. I went to bed, took off my earrings placed them on the bedside table. I awoke to find one missing. My friend and I swept the room clean; it was nowhere to be found. The next morning I was woken, to what sounded like rustling under my bed. I thought she had mice! Turned on the bed side light and there were two earrings sitting there. We were amazed .And of course no one believed us, when we told them. I was so excited because I had always believed it could happen.

At the time I was just starting to do readings for friends, so I took it as some sort of message.

Well it has just happened again, only a much bigger article. Firstly I will set the scene. My husband passed away. It was 4 months later. I had gone to Wales to stay with a friend for a month. Had a few days there and we flew to Germany, as I was taking my Husbands ashes home. Packed a smaller bag ,and in my handbag had packed my puzzle books ,and a small word check machine, my husband had bought me many years ago ,I never go anywhere without it and my puzzle books .I remember using it at the airport just before we got on the plane . Got to Hamburg in the Hotel ,went to get it out , It was missing ,I was very upset , As Hans had bought it for me ,also you cannot buy them now . Not like mine, it was much bigger. So after our stay went back to Wales, unpacked my bag, had put all my clothes on the bed opposite me. I woke around 3 am, got up to go to the toilet, looked across, and there was my little machine sitting on top of my clothes. I was dumb struck ,but not really ,I just said thanks Hans ,as he must have done it ,and I feel it was his way of letting me know he was with me . So will keep my eyes open to see what he does next. Believe it or not, it did happen.
