ince the last edition we have held a number of Expos all of which were hugely successful & some were first time events that will be put onto our upcoming calendar for 2014.

Speaking of Expos I ventured up to Bundaberg recently with my good friend John Sutton (aka John the Waxman) to help him at a new event. The people hadn’t seen anything like the reading/paintings that he did & it was a very positive weekend. It was a fun time meeting lots of new people many of whom want to be a part of our future events being held next year.

2014 is going to be a year of expansion

for White Light Expos with many different areas on our radar; we’ll be popping up everywhere.

There are big plans for the White Light Magazine with many different writers & advertisers from all over the world showing a lot of interest in being part of the family. I feel 2014 is going to be big on both The White Light brands.

There have been a few changes within the magazine as Gena Alston has moved on from doing the Questions & Answers & the lovely Gaia has come on board to take her place.

I would like to thank S’Roya for stepping in & putting together my last issue it was very much appreciated. Bianca feels that little Natalie is old enough now to allow her to step back into the role & I believe that she has done a fabulous job with this edition.

I’d also like to mention that Braydon turned 5 & Gabby has just turned 8 since last we talked aswell as Bianca turning 30 and her older sister Elise turned 40 with a Gala Hollywood themed joint party!

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

How to have happy relationships always

by Kean Buckley.

M

any women have expressed to me that their partners are in a different place to them spiritually. Some will say “he’s not very spiritual.” Often they feel they experience only a little of the potential connection, love or respect they desire. I for one have often not acknowledged my wives’ contribution, as it is different to mine (we are in a more traditional relationship where Kathleen mainly looks after our four daughters and the house and I bring in most of the income). All too often relationships suffer, even fail, due to each missing the others’ contribution those eroding each others’ self-worth. This further negates a heartfelt, deep, spiritual, connection or understanding for the other. Of course it’s painful to anyone when a potentially great relationship turns sour. So how do we make our relationship work when it seems impossible?

Looking at my own life (a good start) my mother Jillie Collings, was a famous psychic and astrologer in London in the 70’s and 80’s. She was on TV, radio and wrote for three magazines - Cosmopolitan, Woman and Woman’s Own - in the days when there were few publications. She parted from my more religious father when I was 6 and ½ due to irreconcilable differences. These were the tough days for any individuals with gifts remember the Victorian age had only just passed! Many new agers were considered weird at least, or a witch at worst.

My parents tried to be friends but things soured when dad dated an actress in 1970. As my parents have barely said a civil word in 40 years since, I assume this is where I learned to be find ways for my clients to love in impossible situations.

My mother then met Ben a successful businessman, who soon became my step father. Like any couple they have been to

6

www.whitelightmagazine.com.au

their edge many times but have never given up (the number one key to success) and are still happily today. One example of their commitment is where Ben decided to do something that my dad did not- he decided to learn about mum’s world rather than condemn it. He studied astrology which mum greatly appreciated. Of course not all us would do this right? However we can all see the obvious success that comes from this lesson. By moving into our partner’s world genuinely and keenly without expecting the opposite we create love, understanding compassion and respect – the cornerstones of a successful relationship. So how do we make continue to make our relationship successful? Well let us first see how not to.

Working on the theme above, I have seen many people try to fit into their partner’s world in the hope that they will reciprocate. Some people truly believe that they are ‘more spiritual’ or simply more connected than their partner. They might be but does this create success? Others simply don’t accept the others’ world view and judge the other perspective unworthy or unspiritual. This is normally a deal breaker. Having said that all of these are roads are roads to relationship failurelet’s take a look at them one at a time.

Firstly when we try to fit into someone else’s world in the hope they’ll fit into ours – we are playing a game that will surely back fire on us. If we notice that this game has ‘conditions apply’ we will feel the energy we put and the obvious intent to get something back. No one likes conditional love – yet most of us have no idea how much we give conditionally – we might as well say ‘conditions apply.’ In order to make any relationship Spring Edition 2013

work we need to genuinely immerse ourselves in what we love doing and consider what they love doing equally. If you get this concept right you won’t lose yourself in their world and will always be happy in yours. This is a fundamental balance in life and is part of how natural love works. I know because I see my wife do it every day! Unconditional love is rare, natural and infectious! Others may copy you – and they don’t know why it just feels good.

The couples I see at Spiritual Expos who have this quality show total acceptance as they walk the talk. Love will lead men to wear tutus for those they love! Love is the greatest energy and the most intoxicating teacher. When it’s truly given ‘in its true essence’ it will always be returned. It is natural flow. Now if you understand this you have it. Love given naturally is its own return. It is an act of being given and received at once. Hence those that truly love do not suffer.

Secondly believing ‘you are spiritual’ when your partner is not, is the greatest recipe for relationship disaster. Everyone is spiritual, no matter what level of vibration they are at, whether they are asleep, stirring or fully awake. I understand that sometimes awake people don’t stay with asleep partners! But there is never a need to lord it over the other. All pastimes can be spiritual (even football) and we can enjoy them as spiritual beings and alchemists of love.

A spiritual master will enjoy themselves doing significantly more pastimes than one who lingers in negative judgment.

Of course some things our partner enjoys can be a deal breaker for almost everyone. For instance he drinks to medicate his blocked emotion and watches sports channels 24/7 whilst you meditate in nature love retreats and crystal essences. But what if you go for 24 hours of FOX SORTS and try a few beers, there might just be something you get for yourself?

By immersing yourself in his world, it could lead to love understanding and compassion. It might even be more spiritual than you first though! If you are genuine in this, he may see that he needs to cut down without you even needing to point this out. All I know is acceptance works and resistance does not. If I give total unconditional acceptance – I am happy – and from here it might just be returned. Acceptance is the greatest key to unblocking any resistance in relationship. I feel good when I do my best to make my relationship successful. When I reject Kathleen’s Spring Edition 2013

world of yoga, quilting and love for talking about the children’s day - whilst I am locked into making money or writing something spiritual – I miss the point. The quickest way to the relationship rubbish tip is non-acceptance.

OK so how do we live in a conscious relationship within a holistic, spiritual, loving life? Answer, we be all these things first! More specifically we give all the things we want to receive unconditionally and don’t wait for them first. If we want love and acceptance – we give it! This is how to be conscious, spiritual and loving. We all know how to be nice.

It is a habit that becomes a pattern that becomes our evolution. Sure I’m setting the bar high what do you want... less? We all know what it’s like when love sours. We become experts at blame and at pointing out what the other has done to make us unhappy (rather like 2-3 year olds).

The world is already short on maturity.

Being yourself is a 24/7 practice until we reclaim our natural state once again forever. That state is unconditional love.

I’m in!! A wise friend taught me the following two mantras that work in every relationship and they also take blame the most crippling disease out of any relationship.

1) 2)

I am fully responsible for everything I feel.

NB. Do not blame your partner for your happiness of your depression.

I am totally accountable for everything I do.

IE It’s up to me!

Within these two rules you will succeed in any relationship from here on. I promise!

How To Winter-Proof Your Family With DōTERRA® Essential Oils

Are your winters usually filled with runny noses, coughs and sore throats?

contain no artificial ingredients and are tested to be free of contaminants such as pesticides or other chemical residues.

Prevention is the key!

We believe that wellness is a function of simple daily healthcare routines, which form the basis of a healthy lifestyle. With a balanced diet, adequate exercise, quality rest, managed stress and a reduced toxic load, our immune system is strengthened and therefore better able to ward off bacteria and viruses.

If you answered ‘yes’, Q. then read on!

With some simple, practical protocols using ‘nature’s medicine chest’ in the form of pure essential oils, you can bring added health and harmony into your household and workplace ‘one drop at a time’.

Here are some of the top reasons why we get sick: • Not washing hands • Not getting enough sleep • Working too much • Not drinking enough fluids • Not cleaning things well • Cleaning too much • Too much Stress • Poor Diet • Not enough exercise • Exposure to Germs and Toxins

What Is dōTERRA® In the spring of 2008, a group of healthcare and business professionals who shared profound personal experiences of the life-enhancing benefits of essential oils came together with a common vision of bringing a new standard of therapeutic-grade essential oils to the world. dōTERRA® (meaning "Gift of the Earth") essential oils represent the safest, purest essential oils available in the world today. Each of dōTERRA®'s CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essentials oils is carefully extracted by a global network of skilled growers, distillers and chemists ensuring a consistently powerful user experience. They are 100% pure aromatic extracts and

Wellness Is A Holistic Process

Eat Right: This will vary from person to person, so seek advice to personalize a plan for you and remember that quality supplements are an ideal companion to your diet.

The dōTERRA® range of supplements act as ‘tools’ to support your body functions and give you added energy to carry out regular exercise.

A critical aspect of your diet is to hydrate adequately.

Consider adding ‘dietary use’ essential oils to taste, if you find drinking water to be unpalatable. Lemon, Wild Orange, Grapefruit and Peppermint oils will sass it up, provide a therapeutic effect and keep you well hydrated.

Exercise: Strap on the shoes, grab the dog, partner, kids and go for a 30 min walk – how simple is that!!! This cost effective exercise gets the heart pumping, immune system boosted and tones those legs.

Rest: Mind chatter is infuriating and leads to poor sleep patterns. Apply Lavender oil to your feet and temples and on the rest of the family to ensure a peaceful night. Develop a bedtime routine to prepare the body for the next 8 hours.

Ban watching the late night news and try a hot drink [not coffee] or bath to get you settled.

Spring Edition 2013

guard against pathogens. Consider oils and blends containing Wild Orange, Lemon, Clove and Cinnamon.

4. Rub the dōTERRA® Protective blend onto the soles of your (and your family’s) feet morning and night. This can be a great bonding experience for you and your children, and it will bolster all immune systems!

Managing Stress: Stress increases cortisol levels, weakens the immune system and leaves you more susceptible to colds and the flu, as well as more serious health problems like heart disease and diabetes. Find a stress reliever that works for you such as exercise to increase endorphins, meditation or a hot relaxing bath. Apply or diffuse the dōTERRA Grounding Blend and/or Calming Blend or Frankincense, Spruce, Rosewood, Lavender, Ylang Ylang and Sandalwood essential oils. These go to work in minutes to reduce your anxiety and leave you in a better state to cope with the challenges that are stressing you.

5. Spritz your family’s bed sheets with a mist of essential oils before bedtime. 10 drops of dōTERRA® Protective Blend or another essential oil (e.g. lavender) with a ¼ cup of water in a spray bottle – shake well.

6. Avoid contact with those who are sick. Stay at home when you are sick and you will recover quicker!

7. Put one drop of dōTERRA® lemon oil into every 250ml of water you and your family drink. Over time this will greatly strengthen the immune system.

8. Clean your home by using the dōTERRA® Protective and Cleansing blends or lemon oil in a spray bottle. This ensures pathogen free surfaces.

Reduce the toxic load: Increased consumption / absorption / exposure to chemicals simply makes you more toxic, compromises body function and creates constant stress.

Over time, your immune system is unable to protect you adequately. Watch what you eat, drink, breathe in and put on your skin.

Colds and Flu Prevention Protocol:

1. Wash your hands often with the dōTERRA® Protective Foaming Hand wash, especially after coughing, sneezing or wiping your nose.

2. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Discard the tissue immediately and wash your hands.

3. Diffuse oils daily in your home or at work to boost the immune system and Spring Edition 2013

9. Be ‘aware’ and if symptoms strike you or your family, immediately begin the Prevention Protocols listed here and see a professional, if your symptoms worsen.

10.De-stress your home environment. Ensure your home is a safe haven of gratitude and love by practicing kind words and positive thoughts.

These are just some of the synergistic activities you can engage in to ‘Winter-proof’ your homes and families and work places.

All reference to essential oils is solely based on the dōTERRA® range.

GOING WITHIN

D

The world outside me It can be so frightening Ahh but as I dwell inside me I find my place of peace & serenity And as I open my eyes again I know It will be as without as within

eep inside each of us is a place of perfect stillness, a place of perfect peace.

Are you taking time to find that place within? The discipline of sitting still and remembering who you are, remembering the essence that you are, is not sought by many.

Many live in a world of busyness – busy lives, noisy lives.

Watching the news you are bombarded by images, voices, noises and rolling scripts across the across the bottom of the screen, scrambling your mind, filling your mind.

"Going within" Triptych - Acrylic on canvas - Sold Francie Griffin ~ Intuitive & Spirit Guide Artist Personal guide drawings can be channeled in a personal sitting or by photo.

Please contact Francie on 0402 856 473 or email to francie@intuitiveart.com.au Namaste

Is it any wonder there is little peace in this world. Even in “meditation” many are still filling their mind with images, visions, chatter and are searching still for something outside of themselves.

What you seek to make yourself whole, to bring you serenity & peace and true acceptance of who you are is that quiet, still spark of life inside of you that is you. Be still and allow life to come to you.

Simply sit, feel that spark inside of you, breathe into it, smile into it, and allow it to grow, filling your body, filling your aura & radiating out to all you meet and to the world that you reside in. See the mirror reflection of this light and love return to you.

Go within and you will find yourself. Go within and you will find your home. Go within and no matter where in this world you are you will be home. Go within and no matter what happens in your world you will be peace.

T he Ma gic and Myster y of Spring

by Mar ye-Ann Azzarello

T A

he wheel of the year turns and with the celebration of Imbolc we know that we are once more approaching spring – the magical time of renewal.

t Imbolc the first signs of that renewal make themselves seen and felt. In cold country the first hints of small green foliage are showing through the snow and in tropical climates, even without the more dramatic appearance of new growth in the snow new growth is apparent and the feel of spring is with us.

W

ith the focus on winter’s end everyone is getting busy - cleaning, planting, making plans for the warm weather. Amid all this activity it’s easy to miss the mystery at the heart of spring.

W

e must slow down and take a step back and allow ourselves to feel that mystery. The new energy is bursting forth, after being prepared during the quiet time of winter when we reflected on the inner truths.

A

good place to start is to consider the inner truths in your own life. Are changes taking place? New job, new home, relocating to a new area? And don’t forget the smaller and less dramatic things that represent change – getting a new computer for smoother internet access, deciding to meet a good friend once a week for a coffee and a catch up. All change represents a shift in our focus and our direction,

O

n 13 August we celebrated a festival of Hecate, the Crone Goddess in the Greek Pantheon. She is a Goddess of change and a good energy to access when change is happening in your life.

H

ecate is the Goddess of the Crossroads, she whom you meet at the junction of decision when change is in the air and you aren’t sure which direction to take. Hecate is a triple goddess shown with three faces – looking ahead and to each side. But she is not looking back. I realized when considering this that there is a difference between goings back because we fear what is ahead and going back with the understanding that things have changed and ‘then’ is not ‘now’. If we recognize that, there will be no difficulty is returning to some situation we have left, because we are knowingly going back to what is new in that situation and embracing the new.

T

he difficulty arises when we are running away from the present and expecting the past to be as it was before. Nothing stays the same.

Once we acknowledge that we can move forward with confidence into whatever the future holds for us.

A

s spring unfolds sit in meditation with Hecate at the crossroads and ask for help in choosing the right direction for now. And remember that there will always be more decisions to make – everything changes and nothing is forever. When decisions loom for you go to the crossroads and meet the wise crone Goddess.

She will always be there and will always help you.

Every time.

An Interview with

How many years have you been offering personal readings for people?

Over the past 19 years I have been providing personal readings for people.

The readings that I have provided have been both in person and phone readings, readings live on air on radio and also readings via email and letters sent into magazines.

Why do people consult you?

I provide two types of readings – Mediumship readings which are for people that want to connect with their passed loved ones and have confirmation that they still exist and are still around them. I also do psychic predictive readings which are for people who want to find answers to life’s most important questions about their love life, family, career, finances and health.

What is the feedback like?

One of the things I do is give people a cd recording of the reading, because when people come to see me they can be emotional or grieving. Often I get phone calls or emails from clients saying that they have relistened to their cd and they are so happy that the information has come true they have met the person described or that they could not believe the specific personal information that has come through in the mediumship reading that only their loved one in spirit would know.

What satisfaction do you get out of your career?

Being a psychic medium is not only my career it is my life path, because I have been born this way. I get great satisfaction from helping people especially people who have lost loved ones. As a mother of three

14

2012 Australian Psychic of the Year-Qld

kids it can be hard to balance my busy work life and family but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Are there any pitfalls or downside to communicating with those who have passed?

The downside to communication with passed loved ones is that it can be incredibly physically draining if I do it too much. It takes a lot of physical energy to be a medium to channel passed loved ones. I have to make sure that I keep a healthy balance and do not do too many readings in the one day or week. Also it is very emotional dealing with grief and loss on a daily basis, it makes you really appreciate your loved ones who are living and around you.

What are the ways people can become more in touch with the spirit world?

The first thing to do to become more in touch with the spirit world is to start paying attention to what you are feeling in your body and sensing psychically. Does something feel right to you or does it feel wrong? IF it doesn’t feel right you need to trust that feeling and see why you felt that way or see if you need to look further into the situation.

The second thing to do is to listen to your own inner voice, your own thought voice.

Your spirit guides will actually sound like your own thought voice and it can sometimes be difficult to tell if it is your own thoughts or your spirit guides telling you things. The way to know if it is you or your guides is by asking them specific questions either out loud or by writing it down.

The information you hear will sometimes be things about people or situations that you have had no prior knowledge of

www.whitelightmagazine.com.au

before, this is called a confirmation. It is to help you to prove to yourself that you are not nuts and that you are hearing them.

The third thing is very important you need to make sure that you are not mucking around with the spirit world as in playing a game with things that you do not know about. The spirit world is real and you need to be very careful when working with it. Always surround yourself in a bubble of white light and ask for psychic protection so that you don’t become drained and to make sure you are only working with positive spirits of the light.

Tell us about our spirit guides?

Everyone has their own spirit guides; some people just are not aware that they exist or are not open to their guides. Most people usually have approximately five spirit guides, but this number can vary as some guides come and go at different times in your life. Each guide has a specific purpose to help you with, for example, a learning and study guide, a guide for life changes, a creative guide for artists, and so on. Your main spirit guide (or master guide as they are sometimes called) stays with you from birth to your passing. You make an agreement with this main guide before you are born and decide that you will work together in this life and map out what you would like to achieve and work through. You may have known your main guide in a previous life as they may have been your mother, brother, sister or friend.

Does everyone have the potential to be more psychic?

Each person is born with their own intuition which means they all have the ability to connect psychically. It is just that some people do not know how to or they Spring Edition 2013

are not aware that they can learn more about their own psychic ability and intuition.

There is no quick way to become confident in your psychic ability, it takes many years and many confirmations to get to a place in your mind or spiritual self that you know you can trust that it is indeed spirit not you. Yes there are people who are naturally gifted psychics and mediums who take to their spiritual gifts very easily, but even these people and I am one of them, have to take years to understand who and what they are working with and how to distinguish between different spirits and signs.

Just as most of us are born with the ability to learn to crawl, then walk and then run as we grow up, everyone is born with their own sixth sense or intuition. Some people will learn as they grow how to run faster than others, through practice, determination, the correct diet and exercise and, yes, having

the right genetic make-up helps as well. Not everyone who wants to be a professional runner will always make the Olympics, but many will do well at a state, local level or even just run for enjoyment.

collective Ascension - a leap in consciousness to a more evolved, cooperative and compassionate experience.

Dr. Schotte established La Vie de la Rose as a way to support individuals during these challenging and changing times. She has created the FIRST and ONLY integrated Nature-based healing system dedicated to Accelerated Spiritual Growth™. This system includes The Ascension Oracle, containing 30 gorgeous cards featuring photos of the energetically evolved flowers from the gardens of La Vie de la Rose and an accompanying 128-page book providing unprecedented guidance on how to accelerate the evolution of consciousness.

It also includes The Ascension Oracle Solutions, 30 individual dramsize flower essences corresponding to the cards in The Ascension Oracle. These flower essences-oral tinctures holding the energetic signature of each flower-energetically activate the patterns of consciousness articulated in The Ascension Oracle and support their integration over time.

“Our flowers activate specific aspects of higher consciousness and assist in achieving authentic resolution of past experiences," says Dr. Schotte. "They are lovingly grown in an organically maintained, sacred garden in an historic, urban setting. They are harvested at the height of their potency then crafted into a solution, a flower essence that contains their energetic imprint and healing pattern.

This solution is stabilized with brandy or vinegar. When you ingest a flower essence (on or under the tongue) or work with the flowers in the deck, you activate these new patterns of consciousness and catalyze profound shifts in your life. Our flowers and products are unique. There is nothing else like them on the planet. They will accelerate your spiritual growth, quickening your journey to selfrealization."

While each of the tools--The Ascension Oracle and The Ascension Oracle Solutions--can be used separately, the 30 cards and flower essences are a powerful, synergistic system that, when used together, provide maximal acceleration of and support for your spiritual growth.

Spring Edition 2013

To use this system, shuffle the cards face-down and select one, allowing your Higher Self or guiding Source to direct you to the correct card in response to your intentions, prayers or greatest need. Once you've selected a card, turn it over and discover which flower your Soul has chosen as appropriate for your immediate healing. Then turn to the book for guidance from the Oracle. The name Oracle was chosen because, much like the oracles of ancient history, this deck provides enlightened direction when consulted. The Ascension Oracle allows you to have the experience of consulting this sage wisdom anytime.

Then notice the corresponding number highlighted on the first page for that flower in the guidebook. This number will direct you to a specific corresponding flower essence in The Ascension Oracle Solutions. Take one drop of this flower essence and read the information in the guidebook. Continue to take one drop daily to activate transformation.

Together, The Ascension Oracle--named 2012 "Editor's Pick for Best Oracle Deck" by Kindred Spirit Magazine--and The Ascension Oracle Solutions--winner of the prestigious 2012Coalition of Visionary Resources Award for "Transformational Product of the Year" the International New Age Trade Show-support you in shifting from experiences of disempowerment, lack, limitation, pain, struggle and suffering to ones of empowerment, harmony, joy, love, peace and purpose.

"With this self-healing system, you will accomplish miracles in your life. Ongoing use of the system will support you in accelerating your spiritual growth. You will achieve the evolution of consciousness in one lifetime ordinarily experienced in many," says Dr. Schotte.

"Whether you give this as a gift to yourself or to others at a time of appreciation, celebration and love (holidays, Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, for example), you are opening the door to living on a higher plane of existence and experiencing a more fulfilling life now."

The stunningly illustrated Ascension Oracle cards and book are available for US$44.00 and the full set of The Ascension Oracle Solutions is priced at US$125.00. Selected essences can be purchased individually at $12/bottle for half-ounce or $29 per 2ounce bottle. There are also eight flower essence sets available.

After The Chaos

By Jane O’Connor-Chapman

Y

ou know when theres massive energetic shifts and changes occurring left right and centre when your entire world and perspective takes a massive shift to a completely different side. Mine is becoming rather more literal just now as I move hemisphere’s in 14 sleeps. I have resided in Australia for the past 15 beautiful years, watched my children grow into adults, become a Nanna and traveled this magically sunburnt land, exploring ancient rain forests, climbing mountains, falling in love with all things Aussie and becoming one myself.

‘Tis now time for massive change. I left the UK at the age of 28 and am now returning at the age of 43.

Wiser?....hopefully, more culturally enriched?..... definitely. I am excited to be returning to my homeland as a tourist. Being here for so many moons has given me a new perspective on my life. I am not even concerned about the freezing cold weather over there as I have been bathed in 15 years of sunshine and blue skies. Distances over there will be nothing compared to the distances I have travelled over here.

You can drive from the top to the bottom of the UK in 12 hours, keep on going and you’ll be in Europe before you know it. I am going to go castle crazy, having already mapped out where I want to go.

There are ancient yew trees, stone circles and castles a plenty.

18

One thing that I have learned for sure is that life can be weird and wonderful, upsetting yet exciting, scary and at times completely hilarious, magnificent and magical.

Massive changes are at times chaotic, so much to do, so much to organise. I have sold everything I own and now have 3 suitcases full of clothing, tarot cards and crystals. I find this exhilerating. It has awakened the inner gypsy spirit in me. I urge you all to allow the essence of excitement to flow into your own life. This will help create a state of joy for you to reside within. It is in a state of joy that you make the most transforming life changes and connections with other people, send the most powerful energies of healing, lift people's spirits and are your most naturally creative. Excitement assists you in breaking into new dimensions of joy. As you move into the higher dimensions with your conscious mind, the dense energy of the negative emotional plane falls away from your energy field. When you reside within a state of joy you give joy to others by direct transmission, without conscious awareness of what is happening. You are simply being your truest self, delighting in the sheer adventure of life.

Bear in mind though that nothing nor no one can bring you peace but yourself. It

www.whitelightmagazine.com.au

has to be a choice made by you. Then you have to action that peace. You make it real. How do you make it real?

You stand up for yourself, you make all decisions for your own best interest. You speak your own truth. Focus your thoughts on calming your mind. Focus on stilling the chaotic thoughts. Actively work on changing your thinking. You are your own worst enemy and critic. You can choose to be your own best friend and cheerleader. Moving is one of the most freeing of all things, it allows you to reinvent your life from the moment you arrive at your newest destination.

In the midst of all of this, my husband has been through a nervous breakdown during the past 3 months. He's been my love since 1994 and I love him dearly.

Mental illness is profoundly devastating, it infiltrates your life and changes everything. I lost my father to suicide 9 years ago so I never treat it lightly. I know that our move to the UK will lift his spirits and renew his joy of living once more. Has it been tough? Yes, most definitely, but we survived and are surviving. Taking it moment by moment.

Rejoicing in the calm days, ploughing our way through the chaotic ones.

It's those rough to ride out days that we all encounter now and then that make those lovely days feel even more special. I am truly grateful for life, love Spring Edition 2013

Cometh The Calm ‌ and the universe. Today is one of those delightfully good days, he is smiling, I am too. We are going to drive up to Mount Tamborine this morning, go hug some trees and have a pint or two at the Irish pub up there. As soon it will be 16,000 miles away from us.

My husband and I talk about this a lot, how you feel about yourself, how you treat yourself, what you think about yourself is far more important than wasting precious energy on worrying about what other folks think about you. Cultivate self love, create peace within yourself and you won't give a flying fig about anyone elses perceptions of you but your own.

Work on self acceptance. Believe me it will change your life for the better.

The only person who can tell you that you cannot do something is you and you do not have to listen. Heal from past hurts if you want to. Keep on suffering from past hurts if you want to. The choice is yours. Flick your mind to the past and pull out positive happy memories that uplift your spirit.

Don't dwell inside past pain. You can make each present moment happier and more fulfilling by making a conscious decision to move forward in your life. Take a big deep breath in and begin to live.

things. They can hurt, induce fear, intensify negativity, end relationships, crush hopes and destroy dreams....they can also assist in healing, nurturing, build up confidence, lift up deflated spirits, magnify love, intensify self worth, induce calm and offer solice. I actively choose to find the positive in everything. My words help heal. My words reduce feelings of self loathing and assist in elevating folks to a more uplifted refreshed level of understanding. My words are bathed in the energy of love.

The next time that you hear from me I shall be over in the northern hemisphere. I cannot wait to sit down on the plane and smile.

Blessings to you and many thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings.

Jane O’Connor-Chapman

I firmly believe that we are all God, Oneness, the universe., Great Spirit...there is no separation, no hierarchy, only that which is human born. We are all the same. Prejudice and hate are human made. Think about it if you dare. L O V E is the universally projected energy that we all share and all have in common. Gay, straight, black, white, mint, lemon, whatever.

I choose to channel love.

SKEPTIC TURNED HEALER

M

y spiritual journey began with being in need of healing myself; I tried every medical an alternative therapy available to me. My guidance lead me to a spiritual healer (I was Skeptical).Who performed Psychic Surgery to torn muscles in my back. How was this possible? The doctors were amazed at how my torn muscles had healed as they felt the internal scarring.

If only I could prove this?

This lead me to Reiki one and two (skeptical again) How was I going to heal anyone? So I completed the course, what an unbelievable experience. I also meet an individual who changed my life further with learning about the power of stories and thoughts and the energy they hold. He released pain and some fears that were holding my life in neutral. This left me in a state of over whelming love energy. Through this energy I found my path and what I love. So I used my Reiki for some time for myself. I then joined current meditation (which is practiced at the Casa in Brazil) (John of God). We practiced it in New Zealand with permission from John of God. In these healing meditations, I received magical gifts of energy and hundreds of healing techniques. In which I suddenly acquired so I decided to do my first healing to a person who wasn’t a healer. She had a torn foot after a fall while being heavily pregnant. The doctor said it would take some time to heal of course. I performed a psychic surgery and the torn foot was healed. They also realigned bones in her legs from old injuries and proceeded to heal baby.

Some people have seen full spirit beings working though me and the equipment they use to use when they were here on our vibrational plane. Some healings are of complete poetic words and others are of a beautiful unique dance; a mix of martial arts an energy work dance, along with a range of fascinating ancient healing techniques. I’m also able to do healings just using my eyes. I’ am also being shown how to use different parts of the brain for healings. I’m receiving a taste tester in all medical and nonmedical practices (from Spirit world beings).

So far my list consists of Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Acupuncture, Acupressure, Healing and Realigning bones, (Chiropractic work), Podiatry Work, Healing torn or damaged muscles, through Psychic Surgery, Releasing fears/past-lives, Emotional Healing, Relationship Healing, Energy Clearing, Distant Healings/Surgeries, Colour Therapy, Visualizing Techniques and Therapy, Imagination Healings, Symbol Healings, Poetic Healings, Animal Physical and Emotional Healings, Paw Therapy, House Clearings and Passing over Spirit’s.

There are many other types of Healing and Energy Work I do. I mostly offer work with Spirit Healing, Psychic Surgery, Energy Work and Ancient Healing Techniques.

In physical healings Saint Mathew is working with me I also have a team of spirit world Doctors and Surgeons working with me. My being present and open to all possibilities is key, so all I do is provide an energetic space for which you heal in; and I allow Spirit World Doctors an Surgeon’s from the divine realm working within the light to work through an with me; using my body as they desire.

I’m completely limitless in this energetic space that my. Spirit harbors. If this is the beginning there is no imagination to how far I will proceed; as I ’am heading for the ultimate experience. As the universe is an infinite space so too is any humans potential. As we create our experience; life is to be enjoyed.

They also helped prepare her body for labor and clear energies that were no longer serving any purpose in her present life. I then sent a distant healing to a man who had a bad back all of his life.

This was healed over night. (I’ve healed many people with spinal problems) Through a distant healing I also healed a ladies lifelong knee problem. By using symbols I calmed a hypoactive puppy so I could do a combined healing to the puppy and an older dog. After 10mins they now spend a lot of time caring for each other. I did a 15minute distant healing to a kitten who was extremely nervous Charlene Marie Hiestand around people. That night she did something incredible - she found her owners room and slept on her pillow beside her; she is friendly with all people now. Just using my eyes I cleared an elderly ladies throat in moments. I have helped people on heavy pain medications (decide for themselves) to come completely off their medication after just one healing.

Through podiatry work I realigned rebalanced and changed a person’s entire standing and walking Offering: Energy work, position to normal.

Spiritual Miracles

My psychic abilities continue to expand at a vast rate.

I’m able to feel peoples pain (in my body) even without their presence. I can read peoples pain from their life from photo’s and where they need help I also do this with distant healings. I also communicate any messages of guidance that comes through for you.

Jo’s Homoeopathy

Hi from Jo and welcome back to the wonderful world of Homoeopathy. Today I would like to share with you Cell Salts or Biochemistry.

Biochemistry – the ‘chemistry of life’, is derived from the Greek word ‘Bios’ meaning the course of life and Chemistry meaning the knowledge of the elements and the laws concerning their combination and behavior. Biochemistry is an ancient science with writings found in early Sanskrit.

Today’s biochemistry was founded in the 19th century by Dr Schuessler a physicist, chemist and medical doctor. Around the same time the discovery that man was made up of millions of cells consisting of water, organic and inorganic substances. In health the cells obtain what they need from food through the blood stream. But during disease the cells find it difficult to metabolize inorganic minerals. Cell salts, or tissue salts as they are sometimes known can be extremely helpful at these times.

They are homoeopathically prepared ensuring easy assimilation with a quick return to health. The human body is principally made up of 12 mineral salts and Dr Schuessler has covered them all.

The salts are not drugs but cell food and have no harmful side effects. They provide the body with minerals which may be

deficient causing many disease situations. Good first aid treatment and safe and effective on children. Cell salts should be dissolved on the tongue so they are absorbed via the mouth and throat.

eÉuçÇ VÉÄÄ|Çá cÜxáxÇàáM Instant Enlightenment

amazing power of the Cosmic Soul and the purpose of life and awakening.

Let’s break these 3 questions down a bit more.

The spiritual journey always begins with 4 basic questions: Who am I? Why am I here?

What do I want?

How do I get there?

When we question these 4 things the soul gets it first glimpse and opportunity to finally break through and begin to shine. The soul becomes excited with joy that we have finally begun to awaken and ask the right questions in life rather than remaining locked in the background, sitting and waiting so patiently for the moment to arise after lifetimes of seeking. Most often on the journey of awakening we experience very deep feelings that the mind interprets as sadness and loss. We often experience deep heart break and shattering moments which brings us to our knees in sobbing tears and a sense of surrender and humility. Once again, the mind interprets this as something going wrong or a belief of failure or exhaustion. The good news is, next time you have one of these heartaches, instead of interpreting it as helplessness or grief, change your belief into “This is my soul crying tears of celebration because this is a moment of letting go of old patterns and beliefs and transforming into my Truth as a universal conscious being”.

You could also translate it as the Ego screaming in the fear and pain of its own death because it soon will have NO control over you! The part of you that has separated from its True Nature (Soul) IS your Ego. When you begin to awaken you finally realise that who you have been trained to think you are isn’t who you really are and it isn’t bringing you the joy and peace that each and every being desires for. Who you are is Pure BEing, a pure free soul whose essence is Only Love and Infinite Peace.

When the mind starts to ask these questions about itself and life, the soul takes a deep breath of excitement and relief. This is felt physically within ones own being when that mysteries sense of inquisitiveness , touch of excitement and energy is felt as the driving impulse to reach out and seek more understanding about the ‘self’ that no longer accepts the its past definitions, identifications and limitations that it once believed itself to be. The impulse to find out the truth of who we are comes from the inherent desire of every being wanting a life that is free from struggles and suffering into a life that flows from the true sense of freedom, liberation, peace, harmony, happiness and love. The impulse is also the driving force and passion that keeps us soldiering on the many pathways to finally get there! This driving passion to ‘know’ is fuelled by the excitement and celebration of the awesome and

24

www.whitelightmagazine.com.au

Who am I? We believe that we are a body and mind that is controlled by our thoughts, emotions, physicality and spiritual beliefs. This is taught to us by our family, community, cultural, biological, religious and psychological conditioning from over countless years, generations and lifetimes of time and history. Our thoughts tell stories of who and what ‘others’ should be, shouldn’t be, can or can’t do. When we believe these thoughts we instantly go into analysing, comparing and judging life which causes us to suffer. The Soul is neither the mind nor the thoughts that arise within the mind. Our Soul is the empty, silent, free and purest state of consciousness. The Soul is a part of the first expression of creation therefore it is the highest and most subtle vibrational form of spirit. It is only the thoughts of the mind (Ego) that interprets, defines and identifies ALL forms of existence and constantly argues with the simple Truth of ‘what is”.

Our thoughts turn into emotions and then our emotions send us on a merry-go-round of feelings of love, sadness, joy, fear, happiness, guilt, up and down everyday, day in and day out. Everyone, even those who we ‘say’ don’t experience down emotions because they ‘pretend’ to be someone special and proclaim that they are always filled with love and light – are not speaking their truth. The reason this is, is because it is impossible for humans not to feel pain and emotions.

These are part of the human condition of survival. Thoughts, Feelings and emotions are warnings and signs of safety. The feeling of love is the sense of safety, nurturing and security whereas feeling of fear are warnings and signs for attack and need for security away from harm. The nature state of all human existence is for safety and survival as a species. Therefore, all thoughts and emotions are OK! The issue of freedom and peace is not about changing or making our thoughts “pure” and only having feelings of “love and light”: It is about the attachment and fixation we have by holding onto thoughts and emotions. All form, time, objects, physicality, thoughts and emotions belong to the Human Condition Only which is also called the “Illusion”. ALL of these things are temporary expressions of consciousness in form; they come and go, live and die but never remain permanently. And here lies the problem...we, as humans are always seeking permanency in a world that can never ever give it to us. We chase for permanent love, peace and happiness but we are looking for it in the wrong place. The only place where permanent love, bliss and happiness exists is with the original state of consciousness itself! And in order to receive that eternal essence of freedom is to “Wake up” from the world of the illusion. And that’s where we begin to understand: Spring Edition 2013

Why am I here?

You are here to awaken from the beliefs of who you think you are to the Truth of who you Really are. You have heard it before...you are not your Body or Mind...you are Spirit/ Soul having a human experience. You are here as consciousness (Pure Being Spirit/Soul) becoming conscious of itself. And all of life is a reflection to show you who it is, that you are NOT. Pure Being is NOT thoughts, Pure Being is NOT emotions, Pure Being is NOT a name or an image. Pure Being (The essence of Soul) is empty, transparent, absolute no-thing-ness...who’s first expression of energy is formed as light and love.

We awaken first to knowing (theories and learning) , then to experiencing (through modalities and techniques) and then BEing the pure essence of Soul by diving into the silent depths of consciousness and letting go of the safety of thoughts an concepts, into the safety of the Absolute Ground of Being. When we achieve this, we are complete, fulfilled, liberated and ONE with all of the purpose of existence and the divine plan. Here, we live life to its fullest. Here we taste, feel and breathe every part of life that IS the same play of consciousness as we are...and there is no separation. Here, we no longer seek, because we have found the Truth and we are enlightened (which means lighted up from the heaviness of the play of the human condition).

How do I get there?

STOP! Stop doing all the things you are ‘doing’ and sit with your Soul who’s essence is silent consciousness. How? By sitting and being still. You will only awaken from the illusion when you let go of ALL of your attachment to it. You MUST take the entire story about who you think you are, from your past conditioning and totally discard it. When you do this you will find that what is left...is who you are.

You must let go of all thoughts, beliefs concepts, images and hopes about who you think you are and what life is about and enter into the perfect stillness, perfect emptiness and perfect silence of your Soul.

When you experience this core of stillness and you awaken to the ground of your own Being you will finally be able to let go of the ‘things’ of life that have kept you comfortable and safe and dive deeper beyond the insecurity that is the mind where you will fall into the abyss of the True safety of the ocean of universal Love.

The more you let go...the better you will feel. To awaken, you must let go of all the concepts and ideas of yourself as a human being of form and abide in primordial consciousness.

What do I want?

When I ask this question to my students the answer is always peace, happiness or eternal love. Why? Because this is the true nature and qualities of the Pure Being. Every human being wants peace, happiness and eternal love, which means everyone wants to reconnect to their Soul. Human beings seek the soul’s qualities (unconsciously) everyday of their life. And that seeking comes in SO many forms. It is desired by the millionaire, the writer, the homeless, the businessman, the parent, the nurse, the drug addict, the lover, the musician, the politician, the sportsman, the gambler, the model, the spiritual seeker and the list goes on...the whole of humanity is on the quest to awaken and no one is left out.

Everyone is searching for the ultimate feeling of happiness, everyone is doing whatever they can just to get a glimpse or a moments rush of ecstatic bliss. Awakening occurs for everyone not just those on the ‘spiritual’ path.

It is experienced through moments of beauty, innocence, love and joy...through looking into the eyes of a new born child or the moments of awe as we look out upon the ocean or mountains. It is experienced through the senses of the body everyday through sound, movement, sight, touch and taste. It is experienced for a moment or two...but eventually it fades away and once again we are off doing whatever we can to get the moment of ‘bliss’ back again. We continue to learn techniques, theories and modalities in a never-ending seeking of ‘getting there”. We will dance more, sing more, eat more or even take the ‘drug’ one more time, just to get it back again. Spiritual seeking, just like anything in life creates trauma on the nervous system of the body because we have moments of highs and then losses. We get a ‘taste’ of love and light and then when that leaves the body interprets it an end...a little death. Therefore, because we are constantly experiencing little deaths we are also in a state of constant ‘spiritual crises’.

Awakening requires us to ‘die the death of the ego...before we die” – in order to be free to experience the gift of life...as it is.

How do I do this?

By entering into deep states of meditation you will discover the infinite depth of your true self – it is in this state that thoughts will move into the background and eventually disappear. When awareness of thought disappears, so too do the objects of time, physicality and the world.

When all these things disappear, what remains is your true self – your pure being.

You will realize that this part of the ‘self’ is always here, beneath the movement of life, it is the deepest foundation of your own being, eternal, timeless and formless. By falling out of relationship with all things that arise in consciousness].you are eternally free and awake.

Big Love Robyn

eyond Fear and Doubt. There is an expanding gap in the Australian peoples understanding of the collective unconscious and our intimate connection with the natural psychic environment. In the west, because of established routines, we have tended to avoid any serious recognition of psychic shamanic traditions. This is an unfortunate situation because all spiritual cultures and traditions around the world have grown out of a natural shamanic foundation that recognised and valued the 'morethan-human' psychic environment.

Psychic reverence, healing and intuition are not subjects that many of us caught up in the daily push and shove of westernised society take a lot time to consider seriously.

Yet, as human beings, we are by nature, all born as psychic creations. A little time spent in the consideration of healing and exercising your psychic connection with the natural environment can be regarded as a key element in manifesting your spiritual desires.

Healthy babies are born with their psychic senses intact and functional. To a more or less degree we all make use of our psychic senses in the fight for survival during the first seven years of life. Stories of psychic sensory perception abound in legend or myth and almost everyone has at least one personal experience with intuitive psychic sensory perception they can recall.

In most developed industrialised nations the leading schools of thought and teaching regard psychic sensory perception as additional to the normal needs of healthy human behaviour. As such, psychic senses are classed as an 'extra' sensory perception, not required, and therefore not exercised. This way of teaching is definitely not the case for shamanic cultures from every country around the world however. The traditions of shamanic cultures value their psychic connection with the more-than-human environment very highly. More than just simply retaining the natural 'newborn' psychic connection, shamanic cultures have evolved through teaching and training to regard the psychic, spiritual, physical and emotional needs of the human experience as being a wholistic vision with its foundations grounded in the more-than-human environment.

'The purpose of human life in shamanic consciousness is to be a natural part of all there is'.

When psychic damage and separation has occurred, or Spring Edition 2013

continues to occur, due to a lack of spiritual recognition, the gap widens and psychic healing is a required element that cannot be overlooked or ignored. Respected metaphysical research indicates that the mystic traditions of shamanic cultures worldwide share many areas of common interest, wisdom and understanding.

We need only open our hearts and minds to discover the common ground that will help advance the process of psychic healing and awaken our natural shamanic consciousness.

The sense of self that emerges when we immerse ourselves in the ecological context of being presents individual thinkers with a tangible framework of relatedness to the natural world. This framework is impossible to see and must be experienced to truly understand its powerful influence.

Shamanic researcher C.G. Jung viewed human interdependency in relationship with the whole as foundational and introduced the world to the term synchronicity. "Jung used the word 'synchronicity' to characterize the significance of the simultaneity of events that could not be causally linked" (Shamdasani, 2010). According to science everything relates to everything else through cause and effect. We can find many examples of this in our daily life.

Jung's proposition with synchronicity is that even seemingly random events are in fact inter-connected with your life and can be recognised to hold significant meaning. Example: You think fondly of a loved one and at that moment the phone rings, you answer, surprised - maybe! It is the loved one you were just thinking of. Mere coincidence? Or purposeful synchronicity? Shamanic consciousness removes fears and doubts about the unseeable and helps you experience the wholistic truth of what it means to "be completely alive" in a more-than-human spiritual universe.

Spiritually Shifting from ‘Poverty Consciousness’ to ‘Prosperity Consciousness’

by Dr Dion Klein

ave you ever noticed that many spiritual and wellness practitioners (e.g., massage therapists, psychics, and lightworkers, etc.) seem to struggle with their finances?

Usually one of the common responses when asked ‘How is business?’ is “It’s okay though I wish I had more clients.” The response is not one of enthusiasm; it usually sounds like a desperate plea for help!

Practitioners who are in the business of assisting others to live at their fullest potential in the various areas of wellness should not be struggling financially; and yet many are. Why? Are you one of these people? Have you reflected on what might be the issue as to why you are not attracting the business and money you want and need?

In a previous article in White Light Magazine, I highlighted three key blockages than can inhibit practitioners and healers in delivering their own services to the fullest potential: Money, Mindset and Marketing. In this article I want to focus on money and mindset collectively as I believe they go hand-in-hand as one’s attraction of money is usually a reflection of one’s current state of mind (i.e., mindset) about money.

Many spiritual healers and health practitioners live in a ‘povertyconsciousness’ believing that their service is a gift from spirit; therefore, they should not charge or charge very little money. The effect is that they struggle to make ends, sometimes on a daily basis.

The four laws of wealth as identified by Phil Laut (1988) in his bestselling book “Money is My Friend” are The Law of Earning, The Law of Spending, The Law of Saving and The Law of Investing. The first law, the Law of EARNING, states that “Human wealth is created by the human mind ... [hence] thought is the causative factor that creates wealth. “ Laut continued to highlight that the application of this law involves pleasurably creating sufficient income. Two words are of importance in that statement – ‘pleasurably’ and ‘sufficient’. It is not supposed to be ‘hard’ creating income in a field of work that you enjoy! If you are not enjoying what you do, then change what you are doing. You have a choice. The second word – sufficient – I believe should be ‘abundant’. Sufficient means adequate for the purpose or enough. One of my mentors said she and her husband were operating their business at ‘enough’, struggling week to week.

Once they shifted their mindset to ‘more than enough’ – an energy of abundance – their personal and business lives changed. Do you have ‘just enough’ each week to pay the bills? Are you operating in survival, sufficient or abundant mode?

‘prosperity-consciousness’! You owe it to yourself, your clients, and the Divine Intelligence. Having a prosperity consciousness enables you to function easily and effortlessly in this material world.

I love this statement in Laut’s book, “If [and when] you are experiencing pleasure, freedom and abundance in your life, then you are expressing your true spiritual nature. The more spiritual you are, the more you deserve prosperity.” How many of you promote that you are spiritual yet live in a ‘poverty-consciousness’? Do you believe that people who live in a ‘prosperity-consciousness’ cannot be as spiritual as you (which sounds like ego to me)? This perspective and questions may challenge you – possibly even stir up a little anger inside of you. If so, GOOD! Reflect on it as the statement and questions have obviously triggered something you need to look at.

So how can you shift from ‘poverty consciousness’ to ‘prosperity consciousness’? Firstly, become aware and then acknowledge that you have more thoughts and energy based on lack (fear) versus abundance. Become more conscious about your thoughts.

You are not the victim of circumstances. Your level of consciousness creates your circumstances, or at least sets the climate in which they happen (Butterworth, 1988). Change your life by altering your thoughts (the second step). This action alone will put you in a position to change things. Third, look at your actions in daily life and evaluate if they are supporting a ‘poverty consciousness’ or ‘prosperity consciousness’. Actions can include the people you associate with (friends, business colleagues, etc.) and your personal and business marketing efforts.

From personal experience, by implementing these three steps and by committing to make positive changes of thought and actions daily around wealth, your life will shift into a ‘prosperity consciousness’.

Dr Dion Klein has over 30 years international experience in the health and wellness industry as a practitioner, entrepreneur, writer, speaker, educator and marketing consultant. He is the Founder and CEO of The Wellness Academy, which specialises in training, mentoring and coaching practitioners in the wellness industry. He also is the founder of The WISE Academy, a Registered Training Organisation that delivers qualifications in business, sales & marketing, sport, recreation, and fitness.

One’s external world is a reflection of one’s inner world. I am sure at some point in your learnings you have heard a similar statement from the ‘mindset’ and ‘Law of Attraction’ gurus. So let’s put this statement into perspective relating to your bank account: Does your current financial bank account subconsciously reflect your inner beliefs about money? Does the material outcome (e.g., bank balance, net worth, etc.) reflect poverty or prosperity?

If you answer to these questions make you feel slightly uncomfortable or if it is reflecting poverty, my suggestion is that you shift your mindset to one of prosperity. Some of you may need permission to do that so I will give it to you. You NOW have permission to shift from a ‘poverty-consciousness’ to a

KAWENA - Winner of 2013 Australian Psychics Hall of Fame shares her secrets to High Energy, Good Health and Enthusiasm for Life at the Young Age of 84

o matter how simple or basic our everyday life is at the moment, we need to realize what Magnificent potential is locked deep inside each and every one of us. As I follow my journey I notice that we, the everyday persons, are fast becoming curious about who and what we are. It seems the mysteries of life are starting to unravel as we delve into the wonderful knowledge and information that is spreading incredibly fast across the planet. For a while we were so busy (and some still are) racing through life as if there were no tomorrows and we distanced ourselves from nature. But the natural energy seems to be drawing us back again and the search is truly on as we recognise the need to be still at least part of the day to bring some sanity back into our lives.

Then we become more aware of the colours – sounds – energy and vitality of nature, of seeing – hearing – feeling and smelling all thing natural with a much more awakened consciousness. This awareness helps us slow down and literally smell the roses. Then we do become as one with Mother Earth. I have found that breathing is absolutely the most important thing we’ll ever do in life, and our whole existence depends on it.

Everything we say – think or do all depends on our breathing abilities.

Knowing this it makes sense that if we do quality breathing and supply our body with more oxygen, we will achieve a much better quality of life and our health will improve dramatically especially the immune system.

We need to know that the more oxygen we supply the body with the greater our energy levels become.

During my 84 years of experience on the planet I have learnt that the key to our Soul journey while we are here is the power of the breath.

IT IS THE KEY TO: • Our Mental Energy • Our Physical Energy • Our Soul Energy I do believe that the more quality of breath we give ourselves the more positive our Soul’s journey and all other aspects of our lives.

Psychics and healers especially find that the more focus they give the breath the clearer is the intuitive flow. And the healthier the physical becomes so as to support this wonderful Spiritual journey that most of us are wanting. I began MYSELF – healing journey at about 45 years of age and now I have better health – vitality and passion than even then. My energy is incredible and I still love doing my work. Especially Clairaudient – Clairvoyant readings. Like other psychics it’s always a joy to see my clients leave happier than when they came.

NOW - It’s time to get to know YOUR body. Our bodies are incredible beings. They are the most wonderful structures on the planet. Think of the lungs and the amazing job they do keeping us alive. Think of the heart ticking away 24/7 and don’t forget the digestion and the elimination system working non-stop on our behalf. We are even constructed specially to connect and heal ourselves and others. So be a friend to your body not an enemy and always remember you are the co-creator of an incredible walking talking miracle. We also need to know our body is not stupid. It listens by feel and sensing. It is an extremely clever human machine, highly organised by the creator.

By providing our bodies with more oxygen we are giving it the greatest healing tool on the planet. Every cell, muscle, ligament, tendon, nerve end and every other part of the body especially the wheels of energy called the Chakras, react to extra oxygen.

BELLY BREATHING Learn while laying down or sitting comfortably straight. Gently draw the breath through the nose filling the lungs up and pushing the tummy out.

Hold the breath to the count of four, and then push the air out through the lips squeezing in the tummy muscles slowly. Gently but firmly keep squeezing cleansing out all stale air. We now have a new fresh supply of oxygen and instant calm energy flow. The body can become so full of life, your energy improves, health improves and confidence returns. And isn’t that great? Quality breathing plus a happy outlook can make your life so exciting.

Try it – it’s FREE! At least try it every day for one month. You will be surprised. Stay with it for two months and your friends will see a huge difference, and by then you will have created a whole new habit and your body mind and spirit will be so happy. I do admit that in the early days I found the discipline of deep breathing quite daunting, but after a while I just couldn’t do without my breathing exercises. At least do these exercises three times a day (every day) for six to ten times each. More if you feel the need. If you have a medical condition I do advise you check with your doctor first.

- The Dance of Birth – Trusting the Feminine

aw, wild, passionate, intuitive and sensual – are these the images that come to mind when you think of birth? How about bright lights, strangers, interruptions, lack of privacy, disempowerment and interventions?

If you had a choice which would you prefer?

Do we have a choice? Have we as a society moved too far away from allowing women to be in and guided by their feminine flowing essence? Do we understand how important it is for the health and well-being of mother and baby to feel safe and mostly unobserved during this primal dance of life? We have to understand that when we shift our focus to women-centred birthing (as we must), that we have to trust women. Creating separation and isolation as we do in most mainstream hospital birth settings these days is the height of disrespect to the feminine. Women are community based beings, drawing strength and power from being surrounded by supportive friends and loving family in a comfortable and nurturing environment.

Traditionally, for thousands of years women have literally danced their way through birth, either in large groups of community sisters or in more intimate groups of family and loved ones. Women, who have birthed - mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, all understand on some level that childbirth is a rite of passage, the ultimate feminine initiation, one that takes us on a journey of a lifetime, a journey into the unknown, into the underworld. Women have danced in circles, surrounding the birthing mother, moving their bodies in ways that had been passed down through the ages, encouraging birthing women to move & sway with them when the time felt right, allowing them the freedom to open up, to express, to vocalise and to dance their own private birth dance.

Birth is a dance of movement and sound, unique to each woman and each baby, in every birth. Swaying, rocking, circling, squatting, breathing & spiralling through contractions and expansions. Moving the baby down, dancing the baby out, using vibrations through vocalisation and sound, finding the birth rhythm, the birth frequency. Transitioning into labour land and drifting into the trance of birth is an ancient, natural process and a right every woman should have!

Childbirth is a hero's journey. A journey of Initiation and SelfEmpowerment. In general, childbirth doesn't seem to be acknowledged or respected as the life changing experience that it is anymore. In our culture, we seem to have nearly lost the essence of what birthing is about, the journey that it entails, the transformation that takes place, the strength and surrender it requires on all levels, not just the physical.

Pregnancy is usually when a woman begins preparing for her childbirth experience, both consciously and unconsciously, by reading books, asking questions, listening to stories and actively acquiring knowledge for the journey ahead. It is also a time to go deep within and connect with ourselves and our baby. To explore

fears around labour and childbirth, to gain as much information as possible on the intensity of childbirth, how to cope with pain, what interventions may happen, hospital birth, home birth, midwives, doula’s, dietary requirements, exercise programs and so much more. Some of us get caught up in the notion that there may be a perfect recipe for a perfect birth. What we can forget is that childbirth is the ultimate feminine mystery, unpredictable, changeable and that no-one can be 100% prepared for the unknown.

This is the time to explore as many of the scenarios and options that are available to you as possible, so that you can do what needs to be done in the moment, no matter how your birth unfolds.

Childbirth preparation can be an holistic endeavor, encompassing body, mind and spirit as you bring together the tools you may need during this rite of passage. Experiencing different forms of movement through yoga, dance and gentle exercise help to strengthen, tone and open the body for birth. Having close friends to share with, strong support networks and allowing time to be nurtured through massage, meditation and other loving practices is essential for a woman’s (and her family’s) overall well-being before, during and after the birth.

Having loving connection throughout labour can be one of the most effective ways for a woman to birth more easily and positively. Quite recently, men have been encouraged to support their partners during labour and when done in loving service, partner support can play a vital role to the physical and emotional wellbeing of Mother and Baby. There is a saying that “what gets the baby in, gets the baby out”. This refers to the fact that Birth and Sex are closely and intimately entwined. Both experiences benefit from soft lighting and privacy, they stimulate the release of similar hormones and most importantly, sensual connection in love making activates the very essence that allows a woman to be open, soft, surrendered and receptive in her body during sex and during birth.

Having someone there to be supportive and solid, a guardian of the birthing space, providing a safe and comfortable place for their woman to birth, is one of the greatest contributions a father/partner can provide. To continue this protection, love and support during the post natal period is a gift for both mother and baby, building trust and grace to help ease in the transition for the whole family.

And yet, when it comes down to it, a woman must birth on her own.

As she passes each gate on her journey into the underworld, as she drops another veil and sheds another piece of herself that she no longer requires, as she surrenders her body, her heart and her soul to the unknown, she reclaims her feminine essence, her power, her authentic wild nature. For those women that give themselves permission to reach this place, to dwell in this place, regardless of what it may look like on the outside, the birthing journey will be one of empowerment and awe. Awe at their Spring Edition 2013

resourcefulness, persistence, strength, beauty and ability to create and nurture life. To birth another living being from their bodies, through the intensity, through the doubt and through the fears. Amazement of what the feminine can endure, encompass and embrace when she is allowed to just be and to just do what needs to be done in the moment.

The ability to trust the feminine, her innate body knowledge and intuition, without explanations or justifications, is lacking from the current masculine driven society of doing, achieving and controlling. Allowing time to rest, flow intuitively and be fully present in the moment, are feminine attributes many overlook as unnecessary, or label as laziness. Giving ourselves permission to just be women, with all that entails, can be a difficult task these days. However, more than any other time, I would encourage you to take the opportunity that birth brings to you, to find new ways of being, to delve deeply into yourself and into your body. Reclaim your sensual feminine nature so that when the time comes for you and your baby to dance into this life together, you have already acknowledged and awakened the body memory of natural birthing movement and sound that dwell deep within you, just waiting for recognition and release!

So yes, we do have a choice. It is up to each one of us to search out alternative ways of gaining information and knowledge leading up to birth. Not just theoretical knowledge but deepseated body wisdom that gives each woman permission to reclaim their births and their baby’s for the well-being of all!

There are a growing number of childbirth providers, including midwives, doulas and doctors who are already supporting women in holistic childbirth choices. More birthing suites are opening up in hospitals and home births are back on the agenda in Australia. So explore, experience and discover what resonates for you, ask for what you need, speak your truth and be prepared to surrender your mind completely when the time comes.

Feng Shui

- Moving Home Check List -

Moving home is one of the top stressful time of your life together with grieving, divorce and losing one’s job.

You get out of our comfort zone, of routines, of habits. Moving house can be daunting so I prepared a Feng Shui check list to make your move as smooth as possible.

Before the Move First thing is first. You must be prepared to move. Look through all your draws]how much have you accumulated since your last move? Out of all of that, what is ACTUALLY necessary and/or useful?

tenants or owners.

Your new Place You choose your new place from its first impression, ideally because you fell in love with it, you felt welcome you liked the location too. In other words, you feel that this new environment with the room shapes, windows and views suits your life today.

Sometimes this new place has smaller rooms and your furniture won’t fit. Don’t cramp them; instead organise a garage sale, put them on EBay, Gumtree or other appropriate websites where sell bulky items and pieces that won’t fit. A new home often demands more changes that we initially thought.

Empty, sell or remove every non-essential item that has been collected over time. This will help with your move exponentially.

You will have fewer boxes to move and everything will be easier to find when unpacking. The phrase: “less is more” comes to mind. The less you have to move, the more time you will spend enjoying your new home once you finish moving in. Ideally, moving house should only take one full day; any longer means that you might be dealing with more belongings than necessary.

You know that you are soon to move and don’t know where yet.

Prepare a list with the 10 major points that you wish to find in your next home for example: -Size: a studio, 1 BDR unit, 4 BDR home, share accommodation, etc.

-Ads-ons: shed, garage, carport, car park etc.

- Site: preferred suburb or area -Specifications: modern, clean, tastefully furnished or unfurnished -Environment: close to shops, schools, airport, etc.

-Neighbours: quiet, young, old, like-minded people etc.

-Rental: length of your lease (6, 12 months or other) -Purchase: bracket of the amount you are ready to invest -Payments: weekly rental or weekly mortgage repayment -Other details: other specific points that are important to you A new home is a new start in your life, a new you!

This change is your chance to improve your life!

Your previous Place A clear cut with your previous (actual) home is important. You de-cluttered and have chosen the items that you still wish to surround yourself in your new place. This is the best timing to get rid of undesired objects, faced old paintings and broken items to be able to start anew.

Be in gratitude for all that home brought to you, a comfortable place to spend time, to grow wiser and happier (hopefully) through all the ups and downs in life. Wish her lovely new

Energy Clearing Ritual In an ideal world, clean, wash and cleanse the energies of all belongings you are about to move to your new place. Once everything is about to be loaded in the removalist truck, clear with your favourite ritual.

For example: protect yourself then smoke with white sage or incense. Alternatively, play Jaroslav Kovaricek FENG SHUI ACOUSTIC CD especially composed to clear and harmonise space. This CD is available for purchase on my website www.fengshuisteps.com under the page “Books & Products”.

With the music CD, it is easy, fast and nobody would question what you are doing.

In your new place, before anything gets unloaded, clear the energies of the previous tenants or owners as explained here above.

The Move The first room to prepare is your bedroom; after a good day of physical and emotional changes, making your bed with fresh linen will get you a good night sleep.

Happy Feng Shui Move!

Sending Love, Blessings and Faerie Kisses to you all xo

T

o allow oneself vulnerable is to be left exposed, to be open to a spell of failure, an attack.

Whether it be an attack from another, or an attack of oneself.

We all have aspects of our life we deem broken, that we should not be allowed to explore or feel good about.

We keep elements of ourselves shackled in chains out of fear that if we were to unlock those things, we would assume to have failed or possibly, we simply consider ourselves unworthy.

As faeries, it is preferred to remain in a state of purified bliss and Elysium valor. Though, just as humans, they too, are dealt the emotional banter in which may bring one down to a level they feel they need not be within. A strong and passionate faerie by the name of Corozon, was one such faerie who allowed herself vulnerable and in doing so was then led down a path she had thought to keep locked, creating a protective barricade around herself.

For until then, she had feared the loss of control and the pain that she had come to believe it would bring.

Allowing oneself vulnerable to a situation is to understand that you do not always have complete control. To

34

loose oneself in the exploration of the deep emotion, to let down your guard, as uncertain or terrifying as it may be, may in turn be what saves you. Like all lessons in life, it is through the terror and possible sorrow, in which we allow ourselves to grow and take one step closer towards our higher selves.

And as they say, in loosing oneself, we often find oneself.

Appreciate those feelings, and explore those elements within, without having to hold up the cage that you had once set in place .

Yes. . . Love is scary . . . fears are terrifying . . . doubts are unnerving.

Each of our emotions being granted, though each of our emotions being a choice, and a chance to recognize something about ourselves that we may have either never known had even existed, or one in which we had remained apprehensive about for far too long.

Make today your day. Allow it to emerge into the unknown. Break down the barriers. Fear, feel, love, explore . . . just don’t make the mistake of living the rest of your days being only a fraction of the divine and desirable

Food for Thought

have always been fascinated and in awe of artists who are able to ‘see’ and draw personal spirit guides. These are the animals and other celestial helpers who walk with us as we journey through this life on earth. People become excited when they receive their channelled drawing comprising of images of their personal guides - their power or totem animals - and extra information, which assists them in delving deeper into the understanding of their own spirit and accepting they are supported in their journeys.

This is particularly valuable as we seek to know more about ourselves and our place on the planet, however, would it not be incredible to see the spirit guide of an emu peering over someone’s shoulder? Or perhaps a platypus circling a person’s feet? Or maybe a dingo leading someone through his or her life’s mission?

Or a kangaroo holding the promise of a person’s potential in life?

Even the sure-footedness and strength the wombat embodies would be a welcome energy in the navigation of life...

While we all love the history of American Indian animal totems and energies, Australian animals also have a powerful influence on us as they are the creatures of our land and personify the energy we all are anchored to. Surely they walk with us as we walk this land?

For them to be incorporated in personal spirit guide drawings would be a giant step toward unity and a wonderful acceptance that Australia has a rich spiritual essence worthy of being depicted.

What of the ancestors of this land? Indigenous Australians have such an ancient history and connection, not just to the land, but also the creatures from the animal kingdom. The nobility and wisdom they exemplify, as well as their teachings need to be celebrated and honoured so we can better appreciate our unique country and the even more exceptional creatures that roam its grounds.

Like their American Indian counterparts, each Australian animal tells a story from its essence. However, why is it that we seem to prefer a wolf as a power animal, rather than a dingo? Perhaps the fear instilled in us by this creature is not great enough; more likely, we do not fully understand the significance.

We seek the teachings and ancient wisdoms of numerous indigenous civilisations of other lands, we proudly display the artifacts significant in the ceremonies of other cultures, and we flock to speakers who travel from afar to remind us of the ‘old ways’ about how we need to reconnect with the land. Overseas, people travel for miles to hear Indigenous Australians speak, perform and share knowledge of their culture. They are highly sought after and greatly respected and admired, just as we here in Australia respect and admire the indigenous cultures that visit us. Is this because we are seeking a connection to an indigenous richness and tradition where we do not have to experience the shame, guilt or embarrassment of what has transpired throughout history?

Spring Edition 2013

We can connect to Indigenous American culture without having to feel the pain of what they have lived through. We can listen to their ancient knowledge without the guilt of what may have been nearly extinguished through the progress of civilisation. We can accept the words and reminders, as long as we do not have to relive the horror of displacement that has been thrust upon them over time.

It makes complete sense why we are more comfortable with having a Native American animal or spirit as our guide.

How incredibly powerful would it be to honour the strength of this land and be proud enough to show people your guide is an Indigenous Australian animal? If American Indians can be our guides and show up in non-indigenous people’s energy fields, then why can’t the essence of the Aboriginal be present with us as well?

The impact and wonderful success of the Bach Flower remedies created in England by Dr. Edward Bach received global acceptance. However, the flowers the energy was being extracted from were grown in English soil and therefore carried the vibration of that land in the Northern Hemisphere. Dr. Ian White found that in our vast country with the conditions we live under, the bush flowers resonated with our energies. So he researched, studied and delivered a healing modality to honour the Australian culture, which resonates with our environment.

Australia is a young nation with the oldest civilisation. Let us honour the wisdom that has breathed, walked and worked this land through acknowledging the lessons the animals have brought and taught to the ancestors. We need to recognise the absolute wisdom and ancient knowledge the animals of our land can share with us and teach us. We should be able to call on the power of each one to walk with us as we move through the transitions of life. Let us allow the spirits of the ancestors of this land to show up as our guides, to honour us with their innate wisdoms, and to walk beside us, guiding our path in this country that we love. Let us embrace the presence of their spirit merging with ours, with pride and a glowing badge of honour and respect. We have to own our past so we can fashion a wonderful and productive future.

Welcome the wisdom of the Australian animals, the essence of the indigenous ancestors. Let our land’s history and wisdom be desired by other countries and our animal kingdom, with its unique and special form of communication, allow people in distant lands to yearn for a possum on their shoulder, a Bilby at their feet or an osprey above their heads. It is time for our ancient Australian spirit guides to materialise in our lives.

Confit - This is a preparation for meat to preserve it for long periods of time when fresh meat would be scarce. The meat is first salted to remove moisture. It is then cooked at the lowest of simmers, submerged in fat, until the meat is buttery tender. After the meat is cooled, it is stored in crocks and covered with the fat to prevent exposure to air. The whole crock is stored to help age the meat. During this ageing period the meat develops a new flavour, completely different from its original state.

When ready to eat, the meat is fried in a skillet or grilled until the skin is crisp and the meat is warmed through. Duck confit was once served with potatoes fried in the same duck fat as the confit. This practice is less popular now, but good companions to the confit are lentils or bitter green salads to balance the richness of the meat.

Fatty meats such as duck, goose, and pork work best in confit. Confit is an indispensable component in cassoulet.

Q

uestions & Answers

Hello beautiful souls, I am Gaia. I will be your new regular Psychic in the White Light Magazine and am ready to answer your questions using my psychic, empathic and channelling abilities. I have 17 years experience in the metaphysical, healing and psychic industry, and look forward to combining this knowledge and channelling higher guidance especially for you when you need it.

I would like to thank the amazing Gena, for her beautiful psychic service here in the White Light and wish her the very best of luck on her new journey in England.

Dear Gaia, A past psychic told me of future illness for me. She was right with everything else. Was she right about that too?

Thanks, Suzie

When I tune into your energy, I’m drawn first to your lungs - the seat of sorrow and joy. The message I get is that it’s so important for you to learn to get off your chest what you need to speak about. You keep a lot on the inside.

Learn to nurture yourself as easily as you do for others. You have a beautiful guardian angel. This lady I feel passed away either just before or just after your own birth. I get the name Abbigail.

Although it’s nice to have readings Suzie, we must live for today and not work towards a destiny mentioned by someone else. We create our own future now more than ever before, because we are more conscious and aware of how our thoughts and feelings attract back to us what we focus on. In regards to your question, I see you live a long and healthy life. Namaste.

Dear Gaia, Can you see us having a baby this year?

Christy

Hi Christy. When I tune in to your energy, I see you picking yourself up and dusting yourself. As I am shown this, I see a lot of pink energy around you. This is a two-fold message – you have so much love to give and share, and there is so much love and support around you. I pick up the energy of a sister and I feel there is a difficulty that needs to be sorted out. I get the message she feels ‘overshadowed’ in some way.

This is an important relationship to work on.

I feel there are physical/health challenges around falling pregnant, but feel that there is at least one little soul that is there for you. I wish you very well.

Spring Edition 2013

Dear Gaia I’m really not happy. I want to lose weight but just don’t seem able to keep it off. Can you shed any light on this for me please?

Thankyou so much, Lauren

Positive change sits close. Losing weight for you is not only about diet & exercise but also your inner journey. Allowing yourself to be you can be challenging especially when it’s hard to look deeper inside and let yourself shine. When I look into your being, I see talent, abilities and beauty. I feel you are too hard on yourself and often just want to run away. Relationship issues come up this year but I just feel it more outside stresses that get between you and your partner. I see this relationship has good potential to work well, but you do need to look at what makes you really happy for a change. When you find that you’ll move forward & move on. Be gentle on yourself beautiful one. You will move forward by the end of this year. Guides say your mission is to discover your inner talents and express yourself outwardly.

Hello Gaia, I’d just like to know if you see Steve and I getting together?

Thanks heaps Nicole

Hi Nicole.

There is so much confusion here it’s hard to get deeper down into true feelings. There are other people’s opinions floating around and that only adds to the confusion. So please be aware not to get caught up with other people’s opinions about what should and shouldn’t be. You are a very bright girl and I see a strong future in the healing industry. In regards to Steve, I feel that that he does love you and can see the 2 of you together – a move will come for him first and then a good change for you both. It’s quite a long path together which is nice. A balanced approach is what is needed. I wish you both well.

Hi Gaia, I’m nearly a qualified chef and I’m wondering can you see if I will become sous chef where I work at the moment please?

Karen

I get a verbal ‘yes’, but feel you are second guessing yourself. I get an image of you feeling ‘burned’ before by this employer and for some reason I get the message that there is someone around you who allows the workplace to get really messy – Is that the head chef? It seems the two of you work very differently and this may be why you are second guessing this position. Trust in your feelings. I feel you actually have a long journey in this career and further in the future I see you overseeing 3 small restaurants in close proximity to each other.

The Spring in Our Step In the northern hemisphere, where our pagan roots lie, winter is the end of the year. In the farming communities of our ancestors the harvest had been gathered, the fields were lying fallow and no more work could be done till spring’s thaw, so this was the end of the year’s tasks and a time to rest and recuperate.

What is a Pagan?

Earth based spirituality.

Reverance for the Earth.

Seeing Spirit in many forms including both Male & Female Deities

In many ways this is an appropriate way to view this season, regardless of what the calendar says; we may be in the middle of the year, but the mood of winter is that of an end. Not a permanent ending however, as time is not linear, but more like a spiral and each ending is but the start of a new beginning. In the winter the seed of inspiration is planted ready to germinate at the first hint of spring.

As the colder days keep us indoors more, there’s no need to feel guilty for being a little slothful, this is just nature’s way of giving us time to think about what we want to achieve once the weather warms up and we get going again. As long as we’re busy running around doing things we don’t have time to consider the big picture, but when we stop for a bit we can take stock and see if we’re still on target. Are you working towards the future you want to achieve for yourself, or are you just running in a rut that’s become comfortable through familiarity? Now in the winter is the time to look within and consider what you want to do with your life and assess whether or not you’re heading in the right direction.

Making a list of what you want to achieve in the next year, the next five years and even the next ten years, is a good way to clarify your aims. Once you have your goals in mind you can then work out what you need to do to help you realize them. You may find that you are already on track, or you might decide that some changes would make a big difference to your health or happiness. Either way, it’s the contemplation now that will set you on the right path for the future.

Blessed be, Morganna.

The Magic of Numerology

T

he study of Numerology can take us on a never ending journey of self discovery. As is often seen in all Spiritual Practice, there is an inner life and an outer life.

The balance between the two becomes the journey in any lifetime.

Awareness of the possible challenges and major life lessons present at the time of our birth assists us greatly in maintaining that delicate balance.

The simple principles of Numerology reveal the significant areas where that delicate balance is most likely to challenge us. Therefore it is extremely useful to more fully know and understand any outer life experience from an inner perspective. Some may say what’s the purpose of knowing all this stuff? The answer is if the lesson is not learned, the experience is repeated, perhaps not in the next 9 year cycle, but the one after.

46

The Peaks and Challenges is the area of Numerology which clarifies the inner and outer life more fully. The Peaks become the outer life experience.

Much like a mountain; each peak provides the potential to learn, grow and remember the steps in between.

The Challenges become the inner or the Soul’s journey. This inner journey of the Soul overlays the outer life experience, whether we are aware of it or not.

More importantly the Challenges show us our Past Life residues and what’s required for completion. www.whitelightmagazine.com.au

Spring 2013 Edition September, October & November 2013

Presented by Rhondda Doherty

September

The inner and outer expression for September is 6, 7, with the balance being 13/4. September is always a month of unexpected change particularly in the areas relating to family matters, creative thought, physical work and achievement of material goals. On an inner level home and family matters are always in the back of our mind. We may be called upon to be more creative or diplomatic or compromising in our approach to all these areas in order to balance the demands of the outer with the inner. Being more mindful of the time and or physical energy required to fulfil those material goals at the expense of a more harmonious and nurturing family life.

October

Always brings more stability and possibilities for new beginnings following the challenges of September. October’s inner and outer expressions are 8, 7, with the balance being 15/6. Here the opportunities arise for us to use our inner wisdom, emotional maturity, remembering our past experiences in all our interactions, all levels of communication where tact and diplomacy are necessary particularly in the areas where physical and material achievement impact on home and family matters.

November

Interestingly enough the number combinations for November are the same as September, except that the inner is 7 and the outer is a 6. In this case the 7 is more Soul related in terms of what the Soul really wants or needs from the outer material world and how driven it has been to achieve only on that level. Often the Soul has been calling but the physical is not listening, therefore health and wellbeing can become overloaded. The 6 indicates that the drive to achieve has been to provide for all the needs and or demands of home and family. The balance then comes through not over doing or overworking on any level.
