Happy New Year

Today I give great blessings for all the amazing experiences and insights of 2010. With grace and gratitude I let go and come to peace with all situations, places and people I have brought into my world. Breathe in 2011... breathe out 2010... open yourself to the wonderful, infinite possibilities of receiving unconditional love.♥

Awareness

Expanding your awareness comes from a realisation that everything is feeling and from the constant asking yourself how things feel. Imagine it as a muscle that has been neglected - as you begin to ask how things feel, it may feel a little stiff as your mind and beliefs try to hold you in old perceptions, however as you practise feeling, it will strengthen.

Seasons Greetings

Seasons Greeting - Thank you for your wonderful support, comments and love in 2010, I will be back next Thursday. Namaste, Denise♥

In this magical time of goodwill, giving and gratitude – we as a collective create an energy that we can use to see all beings as whole, healed and divine. Allow yourself to be open to receiving and sharing and realise The Angels, Light Beings, Masters, Guardians, Christed/Buddhic Beings, Councils of Light are aspects of your higher self, assisting you to feel your grace, love and connection to all.

The Mind alone cannot know what is beyond the Mind, but when the Mind is balanced by the Heart, one can know what is beyond the limitations of the Mind alone. This is how the Higher Heart chakra is opened and one takes the first step into Christ Consciousness.

Summer Solstice/Winter Solstice

Happy Summer Solstice, today is the longest day of year and when the Universal Life Force and the creativity of nature climax. Today - celebrate life, bounty, grace, abundance and all that is given to us from the Sun. Mid Summer is a time to pause so we can view our life from a distance in order to gain a true perspective. The Solar Rays are at their peak, illuminating all things, your emotions, your thoughts and your motives for you to see all and make any adjustments.

For our friends in the Northern Hemisphere,

Happy Winter Solstice and Yule Blessings - As you experience the longest night of the year be reminded that night is a time of dream, vision and a wonderful journey into the depths of oneself, the darkness of unknown possibility. Tonight celebrate the Sun's return in all its power –shining light on all possibilities………

Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse

DECEMBER 21st FULL MOON IN GEMINI AUST EST 7.13pm GMT 8.13am

TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE AUST EST 7.18pm GMT 8.18am.

A full moon brings about completion and celebration, lighting our inner world and illuminating our deepest desires. Let’s celebrate the unison of the twin. Let’s celebrate the unison of the twin aspects of Gemini. We have the opportunity to allow all parts of us to retain their uniqueness while fully accepting these parts – bringing us to a state of oneness… of peace. Here we can celebrate the diversity of Oneness – we are all connected and all part of the same light and love – so lets party and enjoy our abundance as we share in love and joy.

A Total Lunar Eclipse is when the Earth comes directly between the Sun and Moon, and the Moon is completely shadowed, receiving no direct light from the Sun, Lunar Eclipses open a void beyond time and space so you can access and feel your eternal being. The Moon... the Goddess... the silvery liquid light. I draw down this cleansing, clearing, healing light... transforming my whole being. Filled now with Grace, Gratitude and Love for my life and all. I can now start to tell a new story........

Kafka

Be still, sit within your sacred heart and you will feel the mysteries of life float towards you. Today, this quote from Franz Kafka floated towards me - I hope you enjoy.

"It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking, it can do no other, in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet."

Celestial Stuff

As we move towards the Full Moon in Gemini, Lunar Eclipse (Dec 21st) and Summer Solstice,(Dec 22nd) allow your Divine, Love, Power and Wisdom to lift you to a different perspective.

Imagine a small golden light in your heart centre. Feel its warmth and joy. Imagine this as the light of Awareness, a guiding presence that is always with us. Allow yourself to rest within the stillness of your sacred light. Trust your golden light knows you, guides you and is always with you.♥

Look to the stars, not as a way to escape this earth, But for guidance - for a sense of who you are, For the experience of that great Presence of which you are a part,allows your inner Star shine.

Dante

Dantes's words ooze beauty, wisdom and elegance as they embrace me with a sensation of liquid chocolate – pure ecstasy. Enjoy!♥

The love of God unutterable and perfect flows into a pure

soul the way that light rushes into a transparent object.

The more love that it finds, the more it gives itself,

so that, as we grow more clear and open,

the more complete the joy of loving is.

And the more souls who resonate together,

the greater the intensity of their love, for,

mirror-like, each soul reflects the others.

~ Dante Alighieri (1265-1321)

Meditation Class

The theme for meditation classes this week is Transformation. We will be working with the transformative and transmutative Violet Flame. By surrendering all you no longer need to the Violet flame, all that may be holding you away from the truth of you - you set yourself free. Do you really know what this freedom feels like? To be totally free of worry and fear or concern what others may think. Be who you are, for you are wonderful.

Star Borne

Beloved, now is the time to remember. . .

By our seeing the unseen,

By our listening to the fullness of silence,

By our merging with our Angelic presence,

We open ourselves to the Multi-dimensional,...

Frequencies emanating from on high.

Each of us who has touched the stars,

Becomes a lantern which illuminates,

All with starry light……

This is an accelerated path homeward,

Which leads to the newer Octave Of the Greater Reality

Reiki 2

Had a wonderful time teaching Reiki 2 over the weekend. I have taught this many times, however each time is full of wonderment as I connect to deeper parts of myself through the reflection of students. You may like to incorprate the Reiki Principles into your daily meditation practise.

Hope

Whatever trauma you take on - is training you in how to deliver your gift. For when we experience what we don't want - we know what we do want. Allow the heart of you and the Universe to come together in a mysterious, creative process and feel your life unfold in the essence of love.

Combine your personal wisdom together with your intuition to create a magical path.♥

Meditation

"Let each one turn his gaze inward and regard himself with awe and wonder, with mystery and reverence." ~ Henry Miller.

When you meditate things begin to occur on a very deep level of your being - often deeper than you are aware of. If, when you are meditating you feel your thoughts are running you or you can’t seem to focus and relax - know that healing is taking place on some level and you will feel better.

It is not necessary for the... unexpected, extraordinary experiences to be a part of your meditation, this may sometimes occur but if it doesn’t, it isn’t a sign that our practise has been watered down or useless.

So regardless of what you may think, each time you meditate you love and embrace a little more of love self… moving you closer to your centre, your infinite being of wonder, love and beauty.
Namaste, Denise♥

Gaia

Get in touch with Mother Earth for she is a living Cosmic Being. Walk or run barefoot upon grass and feel the energies of the Earth. Go for walks on the beach and feel the wind in your hair and the sun on your face. Be still and get in touch with Nature. Talk to the nature spirits and all the members of the Nature Kingdom. We are all connected. We are all One. Give thanks to Lady Gaia for her generosity and Love.

Last Reiki share evening for the year

Monday night the 6th December is our last Reiki share evening for the year. The Evening is designed to give Reiki Channels an opportunity to practise. If you have never tried a Reiki this is a great place to try it. The Evening will start with a short meditation, followed with group Reiki healings. From 7pm to 8.30pm - $15

NEW MOON IN SAGITTARIUS

NEW MOON IN SAGITTARIUS DECEMBER 6th - AUST EST 3.35am (GMT 5.35pm- 5th)The New Moon always gives you an opportunity to spiral within. This illuminates the parts of you that are hidden, in order to bring healing, balance and a realisation of Oneness.

Sagittarius new moon brings us hope of a different perspective, allowing us to expand. Expansion will occur as we trust the process of life. The wheel of life is constantly moving - embrace change and allow your fun, playful self to discover the adventure of life. Combine your personal wisdom together with your intuition to create a magical result and feel it flow through your body, mind and soul.

Authentic Self

If you are searching for serenity, security, being loved and prosperity, know it already exists, all you have to do is feel and see it and as you do the old illusions fuelled by old beliefs and thought patterns will dissolve and your energy will transcend - moving you towards more of who you are.

Our spiritual journey is the process of becoming authentic. We learn to clean up our act and stop lying outwardly and inwardly. We stop pretending and allow ourselves to speak our truth from our heart as we become better communicators. It's the journey through the superficial and phony to the spiritually mature being. ...There is so much beauty in this process and yet it becomes so easy to fall into a victim status if all does not go to plan.

Image: Power by Toni Carmine Salerno

Surrender

You are a divine manifestation of the mystery – the creative love of all things. Beauty lies in surrender; it is the feminine humility that calls to you from beyond the magical mists of Avalon. Allow the spirit of surrender to whisper to you in visions and dreams, filling your very being with Divine Love, Divine Wisdom and Divine power. Let it bring you to a place of complete stillness and peace where you can feel the transformative power of unconditional love – this is spiritual alchemy at work.

The mind can go in many directions, however on this path, I walk in peace.♥

Image: Alchemy by Toni Carmine Salerno

Know Thyself

Feel into your heart and be truthful about anything holding you back. This is time to trust yourself and check in with how you feel. Sometimes we can jump in feet first, because we think someone or something will make us happy. Know all things happen in your life to move you to your essence, your centre, your soul, your God force. Allow this to be your new perspective on life. It is an opportunity to feel and know all experience’s through love, as you embrace and accept parts of yourself you have not been aware of .

Everything is as one, everything is connected. You can feel this as you watch a bird and imagine it is flying within your soul. When it flaps it wings you feel the wind shift in your heart and when the bird soars feel your heart ascending and expanding to new heights and widths. This is the spirit of flight- free your soul and fly.

I pay attention to my inner feelings and knowings and apply my own uniqueness to everything I feel and do. Om Shanti♥

Meditation

"Meditation allows me to get out of my own way and stop thinking about how something will occur and what I have to do to make it happen. It helps me to let go and just be, leaving space for my life to unfold instead of trying to force something to happen" ~ Denise Jarvie

David Hawkins

With humility comes the willingness to stop trying to control or change other people or life situations or events ostensibly 'for their own good'. To be a committed spiritual seeker, it is necessary to relinquish the desire to be 'right' or of imaginary value to society. In fact, nobody's ego or belief systems are of any value to society at all. The world is neither good nor bad nor defective, nor is it in need of help or modification because its appearance is only a projection of one's own mind. ~ David Hawkins

Check out this video of David Hawkins on The Silence

FULL MOON IN TAURUS

FULL MOON IN TAURUS 22nd NOVEMBER AUST EST 4.26am

A Taurus full moon shines light on our inner world, illuminating the sensual, earthy abundance of creation and gifts we receive from Mother Earth. The polarity of the Scorpio sun intensifies intuitive insight to assist us to feel and see Divine Love, Wisdom and Strength in all creation.

Take a deep breath, listen to your heart connecting to the rhythm of Gaia and honour your temple, your body - for it is the physical manifestation of your Spirit/Soul/Higher Self. Know you have great worth and create beauty in all you do – allow your senses out to play and create beauty, intimacy and deeper connections with your Spirit/Soul/Higher Self.

Inspiration

The Pleiades are part of the constellation of Taurus and Sundays full Moon will fall very close to where the Pleiades, shine in the night sky intensifying light within us.

For many years I have felt the Pleiadians’ as my guides and light beings and I have realised they are a reflection of my inner being. Your angels, guides and light beings reflect your illuminated inner being of love and light to back to you.

Allow yourself to connect to what inspires and illuminates your joy and love – information is just information, it does not matter where it comes from. Take what feels right for you and throw the rest out. Today allow yourself to be open to the creative heart of the Universe - feel liquid light and love expand within you.♥


All things are connected like the blood that unites us. We do not weave the web of life, we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. ~ Chief Seattle

Time Traveller in Charlie Chaplin Movie

Is this a time traveller in 1928? We are multi-dimensional beings and all things happen in this moment, so it seems possible we can be at any place at any time, the problem is allowing our mind to truly believe this. Once we break free of the confines of our beliefs anything is possible – Faith is a knowing, a feeling,... the evidence you can’t see, don’t swap faith for the evidence you think you can see. ♥


How long will you move backward? Come forward; do not stray in unbelief; come dancing to Divine Knowledge. ~ Rumi

Meditation

Right here, Right now you are perfect, you are love and oneness, the trick is to feel and know this. It is time to step onto the path of self-discovery move into your centre, heal all you are aware of at this moment, transforming these wounds into acceptance and peace. Then bring this love and acceptance to your outer world no longer attached to the wounds that pushed your buttons allowing you to be free of the pain. This is an ongoing unfolding of you, each time you become aware of something that needs to heal, go back inside to your centre. Each time becomes easier and you may get to a place where you view this process as a way to love and accept something new about yourself.

Acceptance

Today say the words "I am loved." Place your hands upon the earth, lean your back against a tree or lie upon the earth and look up at the sky. Allow the thought "I am loved" to move gently through your heart, body and mind. Feel love filling you, as your whole body and spirit eases into a state of Oneness. From the depths of your soul a profound love, grace and gratitude honours the relationship you have with Mother Earth and Father Sky - all the elements, light and love surround and flow through you. This amazing love you give and receive nourishes and sustains you. Namaste, Denise♥

Early in life I learned to dream the impossible dream. It made me open to ridicule of course, but I didn't care about that. I believed a strange dream that my old teacher told me. He said that one day we would be able to see into another world and that eventually we'd walk into that world and come back to tell about it.... He suggested esoteric travelers should look for the hidden door. ~ Stuart Wilde.

If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation.~ Krishnamurti.

In the end it all comes down to enthusiasm. Your creativity is basically your expression of God-force. ~ Stuart Wilde.

Think Differently

Challenge the way you think, see yourself and the world by exposing yourself to Krishnamurti’s words through his many books or interviews and feel your whole being transformed into peace and love. He has and is a great inspiration to me – reminding me to spiral inwards, dig deep and find my unique book of instructions for this life. You have all you need within - nobody has the answers for you, however all spiritual teachings will assist in the remembrance of your eternal truth, love and power. Look Within.

Most people look for the sacred in the unusual and the often dramatic, supernatural experience. But the irony is the divine mysteries are found in the ordinary, the mundane and the natural aspects of life - softly whispering to us.

My work is deeply fulfilling - Today I give my best to that which I do, knowing that when this experience is complete, it will lead to even more fulfilling and rewarding experiences. I am grateful for all that I do – for today I am teaching Reiki 1. I have taught this many times each time is different, wonderful and inspiring – thank you to my students, for you give me more than you could possible know. Namaste, Denise♥

11.11

Today is a day of remembrance, gratitude and deep thanks for all that have experienced duality and war for us, so we can find peace. In the past we have thought “if there is peace out there - there will be peace within us”, however what you perceive to be reality is a reflection of your thoughts and beliefs.

It is time to find the peace within, the remembrance of our true self, our radiant light and inspiration to all. As Ghandi said “Be the change you want to see in the world”. Walk through the gateway of 11:11 feel yourself being embraced with love as you transform and heal duality into oneness.

Enjoy this video on 11:11

Meditation

The theme for meditation classes this week is Remembrance. This is the remembrance of who you truly are, moving you to a deeper feeling and understanding of all. It is the conscious effort of reflecting on and listening to your internal feelings and thoughts that connect us to the heart of the universe. As your remembrance expands, your consciousness, your view of the world and your place in it, leads you to the truth of you, the world and the Universe.

Reiki

I thank my wonderful students who attended the first day of Reiki 1 yesterday - for your curiosity and openness inspires my soul. May you be inspired, to truly know you!

Connect with a path that leads you back to you.

Reiki has brought me much joy and happiness, it has loved and supported me on all levels, as I have made many profound changes in my life. Reiki opened me to the possibility that anything is possible, being the key that unlocked divine love, wisdom, creativity and strength from deep within my heart.

NEW MOON IN SCORPIO

NEW MOON IN SCORPIO NOVEMBER 6th - AUST EST 3.15pm - GMT 4.15amThe New Moon always gives you an opportunity to spiral within. This illuminates the parts of you that are hidden, in order to bring healing and balance.

Scorpio encourages us to delve deeper into our innermost fears, darkness and beauty observing and feeling all theses aspects embraced with love and unity. As you embrace duality deep healing will embrace all creation where you will feel peace and acceptance of yourself – out of the ashes the phoenix will rise.

Expanding

Events are multi-dimensional sculptures of living art. Their purpose, form, shape, size, colour and ideas are dynamic - constantly changing as you view this living art from new perspectives, time and space. These events will shift in meaning as you expand your awareness and consciousness and this expansion of you will change your experience of your world.

Today, you may like to say to yourself. “I am in the process of unfolding, fulfilling, positive change. I breathe in the fullness and richness of Life, The Universe. I observe with joy, as life abundantly supports and supplies me with more good than I can imagine. I now express health, happiness, prosperity and peace of mind.”

I love this it remind me to laugh at myself more so.

It is pointless to get your knickers in a twist if a certain person fails to react the way you want. It is best to avoid people and situations that you know drive you crazy. Remember to vote with your feet. If a situation is untenable or unchangeable, walk away. ~ Stuart Wilde

Beltane/Samhain

Happy Beltane to all in the Southern Hemisphere and Happy Samhain (Halloween) to all is the Northern Hemisphere.

This is a time when the veil between all worlds, your multi dimensional selves is at its thinnest and we have the opportunity to embrace and love all parts of our whole, the one.

For me Beltane is the sacred marriage of feminine/masculine the god/goddess within - when we connect and rebirth the truth of self. Samhain is the illumination of shadows, the underworld and death - embrace the fear of the hidden and unknown with love and feel it transform into life.

Both festivals allow a transformation to take place through sacred fire – feel the veil dissolve as you come together with you - merging into liquid gold – spiritual alchemy… feel the divine essence/soul/spirit of you..

Meditation and Divine Guidance

Stilling the mind does not mean there is nothing going on in the mind, it is simply an awareness of all that is within and around you and not attaching to that. When you become attached, feelings of annoyance, frustration, anger and perfectionism may arise.

There are many things in the world that can distract you, holding you apart from yourself. Meditation is a great practise, allowing you the awareness of coming to peace with all of your inner and outer noises. Listen to this music, Temple of Silence by Deuter, one of my favourite pieces, breathe love into all and feel it transform into peace as you move deeper and deeper into the essence of you.

How to find your Infinite Self by Stuart Wilde
Your Mind does not know the way, your Heart has already been there and your Soul has never left it.♥ Welcome Home.♥ ~ From Emmanuel’s book: A manual for living comfortably in the cosmos by Pat Rodegast and Judith Stanton.

Change Is Constant...Allow your life to unfold and suprise you - for all things are possible.You are perfect, you are Love, you are grace, you are enlightened - Right Here, Right Now. Know and feel this and be who you are, for you are wonderful♥ Namaste, Denise

Meditation Class

The theme for meditation classes this week is Your Divine Guidance.

You are always connected to your infinite stream of divine guidance. Still yourself for a moment and allow it to flow to your awareness. Imagine a point of light within your heart centre - see it growing into a golden flame. Feel its beautiful warmth sending waves of relaxation through you. This is your light of Awareness, a guiding presence that is always with you. Allow your being to rest in this place. Trust this light knows you, always revealing your truth and essence to you.

During your day, take a breath and notice the space in the moment before you exhale. As you exhale surrender all tension......♥

Psychic Circle

Tonight, our monthly Psychic Circle will explore Past, Parallel and Future lives.

Kwan Yin

I am meditating with Kwan Yin tonight in preparation to teach Magnified Healing tomorrow, she is a very special Goddess and I would like to share this with you.♥

As the moon rises tonight, imagine Goddess Kwan Yin, the very embodiment of unconditional love, compassionate loving kindness, floating toward you…riding the... waves of the silver ray standing on her lotus chariot.. Her whold body glows of purple hues. You look into each others eyes and she smiles. Tears of happiness filled with the dew of compassion shine like stars from her eyes and you feel her radiance move through you. Allow her peace, love, compassion and strength to fill you up as you become an embodiment of unconditional love and light.

Full Moon

FULL MOON IN ARIES October 23RD AUST EST 12.36pm Here we go again, consecutive Full Moons in Aries. A full moon shines light on our inner world, illuminating our deepest desires and when a full moon occurs twice in a row in the same sign it intensifies the energies. Take a deep breath and step into the life you really,... really want – do what makes you feel alive. This moon gives you the opportunity to strip back all the illusions, the self doubt and fear, when these melt away you are left with your creative essence - no obstacles or boundaries. This moon may give you a little push in the back to “just do it”, take that leap of faith and fly. If you are unsure of your direction, take a deep breath, listen to your heart and hear your soul calling to you with the infinite potential of you.

Who would you be without your story? A few years ago my Mother had an aggressive form of cancer. I was not dealing very well, I was angry and sad for her and felt she was waiting to die for life was too hard for her. An opportunity arose for me to do a Byron Katie workshop with one on her facilitators in Melbourne and ...I realised all that I felt about my Mother was actual what I thought about myself – It was time for me to stop feeling sorry for myself and in doing so the relationship with my Mother shifted it became easier, more authentic and I had the love and energy to love and support her. Mum is still here today and I have moved into a renewed passion for life and her beauty.

The Work of Byron Katie watch this video

The Moon... the Goddess... the silvery liquid light. I draw down this cleansing, clearing, healing light... transforming my whole being. Filled now wih Grace, Gratitude and Love for my life and all. I can now start to tell a new story........

Power

My Power is always present – right here, right now in every moment. The past is over and has no more power over me, I am free in this moment for I know today's thoughts create my future. Today I will choose thoughts that radiate love and grace, grateful for the choices I have.~ Denise Jarvie

We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same. ~ Carlos Castaneda

Take pleasure from your inner reality. Most people are approaching this backwards by saying, "Okay, I want that, & I am not fulfilled until I get that manifestation." The reason for that promise of manifestation out there, to begin with, is that it gives you the reason to play the game in the inner reality. It is your imagination, it is the feeling of Energy flowing through you that is life. ~ Abraham/Esther Hicks

Benoit B. Mandelbrot

I thank Benoit B. Mandelbrot for his gift of expansion. I have studied, but have little understanding of fractals and the Chaos theory – so I moved away from trying to make senses of it all, choosing instead to meditate, feeling into the energy and images.

Now, when I connect with the Mandelbrot set (Image in left top corner) I am filled with wonderment, love, hope and safety … a little strange perhaps. Look at the image, do you notice the resemblance to a heart on its side - round, soft and filled with delights bulging, pulsating, wanting to burst through the resistance and boundaries reminding me that order and chaos are one and the same.

The seemingly chaotic experiences and circumstances I find myself in from time to time are chaotic triggers for creative energy to burst forth, embracing me with love and joy.

Amazing Grace

There are 2 ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is a miracle. ~Albert Einstein

Last night at The Mystical Tree we witnessed Suzannah channelling light beings through her voice. I was moved by each energy that flowed, but one in particular seemed to heal and shift the resistance that holds me apart from me. When a black gospel singer came through singing Amazing Grace all conflict within me melted away to reveal this simply truth – “I am love, we are all love – we are all as one. You are so much more than you think you are; feel into the truth of you.”

Watch this video about the birth of Amazing Grace, may it illuminate your truth.

William Ricketts Sanctuary at Mount Dandenong in Victoria is one of my favorite places to visit. William Ricketts worked for more than fifty years on the transformation of a natural old-growth eucalyptus forest into a unique place of spiritual renewal and quiet reflection. The sanctuary reflects a spirit of place expressed through one man’s dream. http://member.melbpc.org.au/~grjallen/ricketts/rick4b.htm

Here is a video of Williams Ricketts version of Amazing Grace.

Inner Star

Feel your questions of life as creative excitement, an expansion of you and all. This energy and wonderment of life unlocks the door into your divine love, power and wisdom.

Push the door open and behold the light of your essence, shinning brightly from your inner star. Step through the door and emerge as a conscious, multi-dimensional, light being - fully awakened ready to serve on this planet, inspiring others to unlock their star.

Om Mani Padme Hum

Om Mani Padme Hum (The Jewel is in the Lotus) The Lotus flower is a symbol of you, waiting to blossom, it doesn’t matter where you have come from or what you may have experienced or done in your life.

You may feel bogged down, but from the mud of life you will move upward as the lotus does, toward blue, sunny skies and when your lotus opens one petal at a time, your heart will shine for you and all to feel and see.

As you blossom, your treasures, your jewel will release joy, compassion, unconditional love and all your answers.

Listen and watch the youtube video and feel your heart open to you.

Thought you may find this interesting. As with all information, if it resonates take it on if it doesn't, throw it away - Trust yourself. A FRAGMENT OF SOLARA'S OCTOBER 2010 SURF REPORT ~ Taking the Plunge ~

10.10.10.

Let go of any resistance, be the beautiful light being you are and open to the energies of 10.10.10. Anytime today sit for a few moments in meditation and feel the activation of love. Feel it as waves of pulsating and liquid light - embracing you with Universal love, wisdom and strength. Cleansing, clearing, you float ...higher and higher and see yourself from a higher perspective.

Imagine this is who your Higher self, Angels, Guides, Light beings and loved one see… the essence of you and for this moment see yourself through their eyes.

Breathe this into your body, feel yourself being fully grounded - of this world with a new perspective.
Enjoy the adventure.….Namaste, Denise

New Moon in Libra

NEW MOON IN LIBRA OCTOBER 8th AUST EST 5.44am The New Moon always gives you the opportunity to spiral within illuminating the parts of you that are hidden, in order to bring healing and balance. Libra is all about balance - seek counsel within your centre, your essence, define who you are in relation to all things. Once you are aware of anything that is out of balance embrace it with love and feel yourself come to peace with you.

Meditation Classes

Meditation classes this week are working with The Akashic Records. Akashic is a Sanskrit word that means ‘’primary substance’’and the records are a universal filing system which record all thoughts, words, and action, past present and future. This information may translates into images, forms, symbols, imagery, and language that the mind can make sense of.

We can all connect to this wonderful, creative, valuable information to assist one in having a more authentic life. Feel yourself connecting to this place within you. Feel the truth of you, your essence flow over and within you as ripples of remberence and unconditional love bring you to a place infinite wisdom.

Beliefs are personal and collective agreements about perceived reality. These agreements form the guidelines and expectations of your life experience. When you change your thoughts and beliefs you will change your world. As Gandhi said “Be the change you want to see in the world”

My Father

Last night my dreams included my late Father who was trying to turn on my TV with no success. I meditated on arising and asked him what he was trying to communicate. He told me “ Why are you trying to live your life by others rules, you know this has never worked for you and it was often what we disagreed about and you always held firm in your beliefs – to my annoyance. You are your most happiest and creative when you find your own way” Thank you Dad for reminding me and all to be who we are.

Trees

Trees have such amazing personalities and individual characters just check these pictures out.

As a little girl I could feel the roots of all trees intertwining and I would refer to it as “the trees holding hands underground.” The trees may look separate upon the earth but I know they are all connected. This connection gives them strength in storms and an ever flowing stream of wellness and love – what 1 tree experiences, so do the whole. The same goes for us as we are all connected through our hearts – we are all as one.

Meditation

To meditate is to be and a way to enter the flow of all that is. Slip into this stillness with an open heart and mind and feel the honesty of your being. Wonderment, challenges, joy and sorrow make up this wonderful, thought provoking, creative, beautiful world. Meditating is a space of allowing and awareness where you embrace all experiences, what you allow or resist will transcend and transform – moving you to oneness within.

Allow the thought "I am loved" to permeate all parts of you, heart, body and mind - feel it filling you up and surrounding you with waves of love and joy. From the depths of you … love and compassion flow to honour the profound relationship you have with all. Mother Earth thanks you for receiving and giving of love – reminding you, as you nourish, love and heal yourself … you nourish, love and heal, all things on and within Mother Earth and Father Sky. Imagine yourself effortlessly flowing through your day.

Thoughts

Have you ever sat very quietly with closed eyes and watched the movement of your own thinking? Have you watched your mind working?or rather, has your mind watched itself in operation, just to see what your thoughts are, what your feelings are, how you look at the trees, at the flowers, at the birds, at people, how you respond to a suggestion or react to a new idea? Have you ever done this? ~ Krishnamurti

That which you resist stays. ~ David Hawkins

Allow

Today, you don’t have to figure anything out, just allow Universal love and wisdom to rain down upon you, liquid light filled with love, wisdom, strength – cleansing, clearing, healing … waves of love and feel any aches, pains, tension or tightness washing away. Feel your day flow ….. connect with your inner wisdom as... you let go of finding the answers.♥♥♥

You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are! ~ Eckhart Tolle

Jim Stynes

When faced with death the ego just drops its barriers. I needed to live a better life and getting Cancer has led me to a much better life. ~ Jim Stynes.

Meditation Class

The theme for Meditation classes this week is Balance. In your mind’s eye, imagine a Yin & Yang symbol representing two opposing but complimentary forces, something that’s found throughout all of nature. Yin is often symbolized as water or earth, and is considered the receptive, feminine force. Yang is symbolized by fire or wind, and is the creative, masculine force. While opposites, they are not absolutes – nothing can exist without each, and neither is superior to the other. Allow this image to move you to your centre, where you feel at one and peace with your whole being.

Your Truth

Allow your head and heart to meld together as you embrace all parts of you. The marriage of ego and soul creates an expansion and awakening where your resistance to new ways of being and thinking dissolves - unveiling the love and truth of you. ~Denise Jarvie

What if we smashed the mirrors and saw our true face? ~ Elsa Gidlow

Wisdom from Adyashanti

Spiritual people often want unconditional support and understanding from their friends, family, and mates, but all too often seem blind to their own shortcomings when it comes to the amount of unconditional support and understanding that they give to others. I have seen many spiritual people become obsessed with how unspiritual others are and assume an arrogant and superior attitude while completely missing the fact that they themselves are not nearly as spiritually enlightened as they would like to think they are.

Enlightenment can be measured by how compassionately and wisely you interact with others—with all others, not just those who support you in the way that you want. How you interact with those who do not support you shows how enlightened you really are.

As long as you perceive that anyone is holding you back, you have not taken full responsibility for your own liberation. Liberation means that you stand free of making demands on others and life to make you happy. When you discover yourself to be nothing but Freedom, you stop setting up conditions and requirements that need to be satisfied in order for you to be happy.

It is in the absolute surrender of all conditions and requirements that Liberation is discovered to be who and what you are. Then the love and wisdom that flows out of you has a liberating effect on others. The biggest challenge for most spiritual seekers is to surrender their self importance, and see the emptiness of their own personal story. It is your personal story that you need to awaken from in order to be free.

To give up being either ignorant or enlightened is the mark of liberation and allows you to treat others as your Self. What I am describing is the birth of true Love.

Choice

As we move toward the full moon and Ostara on Wednesday – exercise your power of choice. Just for today choose what you put into your mind and what you believe. Choose how you respond to the people and circumstances around you. Become aware of the power of choice, feel your body and mind soften, coming into a state of balance as you see and feel the world through new, empowering perceptions.

Intention

You are what your deep, driving desire is. As you desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny. ~ The Upanishads.

With this in mind imagine a point of light radiating from your heart. This light represents your deep intention, the wisdom of your soul, often beyond the comprehension of your conscious mind. Focus on this place and affirm to yourself – “I am guided by the light of my own soul and I am guided by the light of my own intention.”

Colour

Breathe in white light – breathe out white light and imagine you are sitting under a vibrant rainbow. Allow each colour to flow over and through you: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Breathe the colours in one by one and sit in each colour as long as you need to. Let them all pass through and dissolve away into the light around you. Feel yourself move back into your day with added energy, balance and creativity and know the treasure at the end of the rainbow resides within you.

Meditation Classes

Giving and receiving is the theme for Meditation classes this week.

Your first act as a human being was to breathe in air. Your second act was to breathe out. Your third act was to breathe in again. Inhaling is receiving air and exhaling is giving it back. Once the cycle has started, it never again flows just one way. To breathe in, we must breathe out. To receive, we must be willing to give and to give; we must be willing to receive. When you learn to receive you realise it is not just about you – we are all connected and in this together.

http://www.themysticaltree.com.au/meditation_11.html

Giving and Receiving

When you feel you need to give to others and don’t allow yourself to receive this will keep you separate from who you truly want to be. When you learn to receive you realise we are all connected and everything is not just about you.

Giving and receiving happen in the same moment they are not separate. Once you let receiving into your life you will allow everything you desire to manifest. Find this balance and you will feel your passion for giving, life, creating and receiving.

Awareness

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.

~ Henry Drummond.

What you are looking for is what is looking.

~ St. Francis of Assisi

A Rumi Poem

The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

~ Rumi ~

An Ocean of Peace

Relax, be still… Allow yourself to relax as you float in the ocean of infinite love. Just rest and know you are sustained by this great ocean of strength and of infinite peace. Your Higher self, angels, guides, loved ones and the whole Universe see you as love, as your truth, as the beautiful soul that you are – in this moment, in this place - see your self as they do…. no judgment , just waves of pure unconditional love. Be still. All is well.

Guides and Angels

For a long time I thought I had no angels and guides with me, until one day while I was meditating, a small gentle voice in my head said “We are the colours you see and feel”. Over time the colours evolved into personalities and different energetic vibrations that I learnt to recognise through my intuition and feelings. How do you feel and recognise your angels and guides?

My Favourite Quotes

“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”~ Buddha

All spiritual teachings are only meant to make us retrace our steps to our Original Source. We need not to acquire anything new, only give up false ideas and useless accretions. Instead of doing this, we try to grasp something strange and mysterious because we believe happiness lies elsewhere.
~ From The Essential Teachings of Ramana Maharshi

Be the Change you want to see in the World
~ Mahatma Gandhi

The question of real, lasting, world peace
concerns human beings, so basic human feelings are also it’s roots.
Through inner peace, genuine world peace can be achieved.
In this, the importance of individual responsibility is quite clear;
an atmosphere of peace must first be created within ourselves.
Then gradually extended to include our families, our communities
and ultimately the whole planet.
~ Dalai Lama

"When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you,
But merely opening your hands to receive something better."

"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did."

"How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours."

"The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you."

Meditation Class

The theme for meditation classes this week is The Three Fold Flame.

This flame sits within your heart and is made up of a pink, blue and gold flame. The Pink flame represents divine love; the Gold flame represents divine wisdom and the Blue flame represents divine power.

Breathe into your heart and step into your three fold flame, feel the qualities of each flame as you allow yourself to be transformed into your highest self.

New Moon in Virgo

NEW MOON IN VIRGO 8th SEPTEMBER AUST EST 8.29pm . The New Moon is a time to go within, to feel and work with parts of us that may be hidden. For me it is a black, velvety matrix - a void where all possibilities are one in the heart of creation - the seed of new beginnings.

Virgo's wisdom gives us the opportunity to change, shift and morph into the best physical vehicle for this particular moment in time.

Visualise yourself as an efficiency master connected and listening with an open heart to the Earth, to Gaia the consciousness of the Earth. You will realise creative ways to organise your space, work and home, creating order out of seeming chaos.

Reiki Share

I would like to thank all who came to Reiki share last night. We had a wonderful night of healing for all. I would like to share with you and remind all Reiki channels of The Principles of Reiki. You may like to incorporate these into your daily meditation practise.

Just for today:

Do not anger.

Do not worry.

Honour your parents, teachers and elders.

Earn your living honestly.

Show gratitude to all living things.

Reiki

Tonight is our Monthly Reiki share evening. The Evening is designed to give Reiki Channels an opportunity to practise. If you have never tried a Reiki this is a great place to try it. The Evening will start with a short meditation, followed with group Reiki healings. From 7pm to 8.30pm - $15
http://www.themysticaltree.com.au/reiki_share_12.html

This video is a wonderful reminder that when we let go and allow ourselves to just be, we connect to love. This activates our own natural healing process where we feel the complete wellness of our being. Animals are great teachers – reminding us to feel into life, allowing our lives to unfold instead of trying to control, worry and make things happen.

Father's day

Today on Father’s day we have an opportunity to honour the men who are or have been within our life - whether they raised us, loved us or are being brought up by us.

Let us also honour the divine masculine within - recognise and give thanks to the part of you that guides your decision making and action, nurtures you and supports your goals.

This warm, loving energy filled with courage and strength is the inner presence that allows you to act on your creative thoughts. What is one thing you Father showed or told you, that connected to your inner masculine?
