Re Birth

Your whole idea about yourself is borrowed - borrowed from those who have no idea of who they are themselves. ~ Osho ♥

Each day I have the opportunity to awaken to a new me. This peace sees me moving towards the person I have always wanted to be instead of the one that thinks I have to be perfect before I can be worthy of the life I truly want.

Psychic Circle

Tonight, due to popular demand our monthly Psychic Development Circle will be working with and learning to read Angel & Oracle cards.

As far-fetched or chaotic as it might seem, the random pattern in which the cards turn up is part of a greater, symbolic pattern or picture, working in conjunction with the creative impulses of the universe. When we open our minds and hearts to infinite possibilities, this somehow starts to make sense.

From 7pm to 9pm Cost is $20.00 All levels are welcome. Psychic ability is the creative application of human intuition. The evenings are designed to assist you to fine tune and tap into your inner voice.

Intelligence

We have noticed that your idea of intelligence and our idea of intelligence have very little to do with one another. For instance, you call yourselves an intelligent species, yet you are dangerously close to make your planet uninhabitable by anything other than asphalt.

You have also managed to place yourselves at the top of the endangered-species list. May we point out that even a virus demonstrates a more astute grasp of its situation than that. The only reason a virus is inclined to trash out its environment is in its well-calculated attempt to maintain its life.

Intelligence is the force of life expressing itself in created form

It exists in all life, regardless of whether it has a brain or not. Through the misuse of your mental processes, you have come to regard intelligence as the part of one-upmanship in acts of spiritual barbarism. You have somehow managed to reduce rationality to mental faculty that enables you to to grab the most the fastest. Meanwhile, true intelligence is an alignment with the matrix of creation and its source. It is an allegiance to light and an embracing of life, not a demonstration of how adept you are at the act of denial.

Forgive

Today, I willingly allow forgiveness of myself, others, situations and places that are holding me back from who I know I am.

I breathe love and life into my dreams and visions, allowing myself to see and feel with love, compassion and understanding.

My clear insight and knowing is reflected in my outer sight and knowing.♥

Thoughts

A belief is a thought we think many times or are told over and over again - when you change your thoughts you change your beliefs.

Today you may like to say to yourself: I am not limited by my past or future thinking. I choose my thoughts with care and mindfulness. I constantly have new insights and new ways of seeing my world. I am willing to change and grow. ♥♥♥

'Calender of Events'

'Calender of Events'

We are the ones we've been waiting for

“To my fellow swimmers:
There is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift,that there are those who will be afraid.
They will try to hold on to the shore,they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly.
Know that the river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore,
push off into the middle of the river,
keep our heads above water.
And I say see who is there with you and celebrate.
At this time in history,
we are to take nothing personally,
least of all ourselves,
for the moment that we do,
our spiritual growth and journey come to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over.
Gather yourselves.
Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for.”
~ The Hopi Native Americans of the American Southwest.

Labyrinths

Your life is a sacred journey. And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation, continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way. You are on the path... exactly where you are meant to be right now... And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of love." ~ Caroline Adams

We are all on the path... exactly where we need to be. The labyrinth is a model of that path.

A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. The labyrinth can be seen as a journey to the centre of your deepest self and back out into the world with a broadened understanding of who you are.


Many great sages have said the self and the universe are one; there is no difference between the inner and the outer and to truly know the self is to know the nature of everything. Know thyself~ Be thyself. Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools.

A labyrinth is an archetype with which we can have a direct experience. We can walk it. It is a metaphor for life's journey. It is a symbol that creates a sacred space and place and takes us out of our ego to "That Which Is Within."

A labyrinth has only one path. It is unicursal. The way in is the way out. There are no blind alleys. The path leads you on a circuitous path to the centre and out again.

Exercise:

Think of a question or concern, clear your mind of conscious thought and use your mouse or finger to 'walk' the labyrinth, or simply meditate on the image. Feel the inherent power in the sacred design and notice how you feel when you emerge from the labyrinth.

"I Can Do It" Hay House Conference - Sydney

Yesterday I attended the Hay House conference “I Can Do it” and enjoyed 3 very different authors sharing they work. I have read many of each author’s titles and decided to do what I tell my clients and students to do when listening to them. “Take whatever resonates with you and throw the rest away – for this work is about moving and connecting you to your own, beautiful, unique truth. Allow the love and energy that moves through my inspiration to illuminate yours.” In doing so I learnt so much more about myself from Caroline Myss, Gregg Braden and Brian Weiss.

I have added my favourite quotes and videos from these teachers for the illumination of your truth.

Gregg Braden
I've met people who tell me that they're taking a break from all relationships or will never be in another one because they find them too painful. The truth is that we're always in a relationship with someone or something. Even if we live on a mountaintop and never see another human, we must still interact with that... mountain and ourselves. In those interactions, we'll be shown the true reflection of our core beliefs. The reason? Our mirrors in the world never stop - they're always working. There's no escape! And the mirrors never lie." Our mirrors in the world never stop - they're always working. There's no escape! And the mirrors never lie." ~ Gregg Braden

Brian Weiss
You are a beautiful, immortal human being, a being of love. - We are not our bodies. We have existed before we came into our physical bodies and will exist after we leave these bodies. And we will go on. ~ Brian Weiss

Carolyn Myss
Do you really want to look back on your life and see how wonderful it could have been had you not been afraid to live it.~Caroline Myss

Crop circles

Like all symbols, sacred sites and sacred geometry, crop circles seem to work on a subtle level awakening, stirring something deep with in us, a remembrance of whom we truly are. Whether they are formed by sound, earth energies, light, winds, humans or aliens when I see and feel them I am reminded that “What the caterpillar sees as the end, we see as a butterfly.” There is so much more we are yet to feel and see, allow yourself to dream…

When a caterpillar, with its limited sight and voracious appetite has gorged itself enough, it will wrap itself up, dissolving all attachments to what it used to be, in order for it to find its highest potential.

Medtation Classes

The theme for Meditation Classes this week is Transforming Fear. Visualise a flow of love into your solar plexus to calm you - love & fear cannot co-exist in the same space as they are different vibrations. Visualise you are safe & will know what to do in any circumstance or situation - this will become your reality. Say this affirmation to yourself: “I trust I am a channel of love and wisdom & my soul/spirit/ higherself will guide me in all times and situations - so I can relax, have fun and live my life.

As you move along your path, seeking your truth and manifesting your dreams, you will from time to time come across an obstacle. You may try to go around it, jump it, ignore it or even climb right over it because you are seeing this obstacle through the filter of past experience which brings up fear. This filter is the sum total of everything you have learnt or been taught consciously or sub consciously and it wants to keep you safe, protecting from any pain you had experienced in the past. This thinking will always bring up fear and fear is an illusion that holds you back, rather than an intuitive message telling you not to do something. In my experience, fear is here to announce you have reached the boundaries of your comfort zone and this is something to be celebrated as your dreams are always beyond your comfort zone!

Acceptance

For some of us, as a child we learnt that when we operated from who we are, we got into trouble, we learned that there is something wrong with us. We don’t want to have that experience again so we try harder and harder to be the person we’re supposed to be. What I am suggesting is “There never was anything wrong with you.” It’s OK to be who you are, okay to have all your feelings. That’s what sentient beings have – feelings. Taken from "The Depression Book- Depression as an opportunity for spiritual growth" by Cheri Huber. Image: Acceptance by Toni Carmine Salerno

Discovery

Today, I am fumbling around in the dark, desperately flaying & grasping for words to appear as my mind struggles with the concept of thinking from the heart.

This often happens when I am integrating new ideas & feelings, trying to force an explanation & make sense of it. All I need do is give myself a break & get out of my own way … So I will meditate, give myself Reiki & allow Albert Einstein to do the talking for me today.

“The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why.”

Your Healing Tree

Here is a small ritual for finding your own personal healing tree. Enter a quiet park or forest that has a variety of trees. Stand quietly amongst the trees and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and bring your focus to your heart.

Open your eyes and feel one particular tree calling you. Move toward it and place your back against the trunk, imagine your consciousness connecting with the tree through your breathing. Feel a connection to all things through the branches as they draw down Father Sky and through the roots as they draw up Mother Earth moving together in the trunk and your heart.
Stay here for as long as you like and give thanks to your tree when finished.

Awakening

I feel my way toward my truth through my questions, experiences and teachers. Each day I move deeper into the knowing and love of myself and the Universe. For awakening is a feeling process - an unfolding of each individuals creative experience to feeling - it is a choice you make in every moment of your life. Enjoy Jim Carrey’s perspective on awakening.

Happy 71st Birthday The Wizard of Oz

It is the 71st Anniversary of the Wizard of Oz today; I loved this as a child and still find it a magical movie. Dorothy moves to OZ on her golden path after moving to this place through chaos. Along her adventure she gains love, wisdom & strength and finds the destination does not hold her answers. Finally, as she asks to go home she realises her answers are within & have always been there. Imagine a rainbow being the bridge between your outer and inner worlds, bringing all parts of you together and realise the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is you.

New Moon

NEW MOON IN LEO AUGUST 10th AUST EST 5.07pm GMT 3.07am
The New Moon gives us the opportunity to go within and sow the seeds of new beginnings. Leo encourages you to bask in the glory of you and the magnificent discovery and expression of your higher/authentic self/essence. Allow your dreams and passions to be illuminated and realise all things are possible – for these feelings, dreams and knowing’s always precede your physical experience. Have faith and trust in you and the unfolding beauty of your life and don’t swap faith for the evidence you think you can see. Open your heart to change and creative risk, be the spark that illuminates and inspires you and others - allow yourself to shine for you and all to see and step courageously into the truth of you.

The Breath of Life

The breath of life, at any given moment inspires and illuminates love, wisdom and creativity - in fact it connects to all that flows within and without this amazing, infinite Universe. When the icy grip of fear stops me dead in my tracks – just when I think I can’t go on – all I need do is focus on my breath, for all I... seek is right under my own nose within the breath and in my heart.

Reflection

We see others through the perception and veil of our own life experiences. So can we ever really know others as they truly are? Next time you hear yourself describing another, listen to what you are saying for it will tell you more about who you are, than who they are.

My Meditation

I have just finished meditating in preparation for tonight’s class. I asked a raven to show me my direction in life. I felt the most magical experience as I flew with the raven and watched it land in Monument Valley located in the US states of Arizona and Utah. This place reminds me of the old westerns (the pioneer spirit), Mars and the Navajo. I am not sure what any of this means however I am sure it will unfold in time and surprise me. Next time you are meditating you may like to ask the raven to show you your direction in life and watch where it lands.

Meditation Class

The theme for meditation classes this week is “Seeking Direction”. Sometimes, we get in our own way and believe the culmination of all others ideas and beliefs that we have taken during our life in order to be loved and accepted. These become obstacles, we feel we are not good enough, which starts the justification and analysing process each time you want to take a new direction in this life. So, when we move out of our own way letting go of anything that limits us, we will be lifted to our higher self that will show you a higher perspective full of ideas and beliefs that resonate with you, where all becomes clear. Trust how you feel – for you know yourself the best.

A Quick Meditation

This is a meditation you can do anywhere at any time, whenever you have a spare few minutes just sit quietly, breath and contemplate on this visualisation. When you practise this technique, you are drawing in the high vibration of the white energy around you and your environment.

This white light is also called Universal life force, prana or chi. It is our life force and is all around us and within us, filled with unconditional love, protection and healing. You may also use this exercise to surround and protect you, your car or any person or anything you like. After you have surrounded yourself, visualize a bubble of light around whatever else you want to.

Repeat this exercise as often as you feel, particularly if you are feeling anxious.

Close your eyes and focus on your breath…………… Breath fully and deeply. Feel your stomach rise and fall…………. Allow yourself to become relaxed and feel your awareness moving from the external world to your internal world…………………………………..

Visualise a bright beautiful star above your head…………………….., out of your star flows the beautiful White Light full of love and healing………………. .……………………………..in your mind’s eye see the light flow through you all the way down to your feet and then see it flowing from the bottom of your feet all the way into the earth……………………. You are now grounded and centred.

Now see the White Light encircling you from head to toe……………….., this is your bubble of light full of love, healing and protection, intend for your bubble to lift you to a higher perspective, feel the joy, beauty and love of all as you connect to your essence……………………………………..

You now feel relaxed and safe……………………balanced and calm……….…

Call all your energies back to this moment ……… to this space………………….

When you feel ready open your eyes and smile!
