The Magic of Honey ©
Throughout the centuries the bee has been revered for its regenerative properties and those of the elixir of life, which it brings forth, honey. The mere smell, feel and sight of the heady drop incites feelings of flow and sensuality, exciting our energy with the electrical charge of sweetness.
If we look at the exquisite bee itself we can see and therefore acknowledge what a contained symbol it is for the coming together of light and dark into one all-knowing symbol of enlightenment. The bee is a blend of black and gold, the masculine and feminine, solar and lunar, positive and negative polarities which work together unified for the source without any questioning or obstruction.
Within the hive there is a queen, who is the life force from which all other bees extend. There are the drones that accompany and fertilise the queen and then the mass of workers who pull together to benefit the whole unit. Much like an analogy for the way life unfolds in the universe, which is also a hierarchical structure. There is the source, which creates all, and its creations realising that they are individual expressions of the one thus work together in harmony and with purpose.
The structure of the hive, the sacred geometry, which is recognised in the hexagonal six sided honeycomb layers, represents the number of harmony and balance, the number six. And what a symbol of harmony and balance is the busy bee always on purpose without carrying the burden that comes from begrudging it's position in the chain of life.
Bees are also essential to pollinate flowers and ensure their survival and re-growth. Likewise it is from the flowers that bees collect nectar, which is later churned over in their stomachs, aided by properties in the bee's saliva to produce the golden liquid we know as honey. The production of honey by bees is pure Alchemy in process. The colour gold is likewise the colour of the sun and also the colour, which builds and nurtures our "solar" plexus the centre of self-will and determination in our physical bodies.
Thus, honey is one of the most potent sources of energy renewal for our subtle and physical bodies. Science has taught us that honey is nature's superior antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral, antifungal agent and also pure source of antioxidants. When honey comes into contact with human skin it strongly attracts water or moisture thus drying out wounds efficiently and naturally. Hydrogen peroxide is also produced when honey comes into contact with our skin creating an antiseptic environment for cuts or irritations.
Honey is particularly efficient in keeping infection out of serious burns of the skin and thus has been used as a burns treatment for centuries, with science only recently catching up with this natural cure all. It makes a wonderful exfoliant mask for the face and hands, in fact any part of the body that enjoys soothing. Who hasn't reached for spoonfuls of honey to soothe a red, sore throat and everyone knows a spoonful of honey will help any medicine go down.
And technicalities aside, let's face it; nothing quite enlivens and creates a tingling of the senses and thus cellular vibrations of our being than the taste of honey on the tip of the tongue. It truly outshines even chocolate as a joy bringer and energy enhancing agent.
Let us also remember that bees create honey for their own nourishment. That we can be a part in sharing in their bounty is a true gift of the bees to us. This brings us to the importance of supporting your local beekeepers that employ traditional methods of honey extraction. Large commercial companies today poison and kill bees once their bounty has been delivered. When something is made with love we can taste and feel the difference. So for the sake of a few extra cents please choose your honey from local sources of which there are so many on the market all around the globe.
Honey is a sacred, divine elixir created with love by the true alchemists of nature. It is the great preserver of life, with honey even being found in ancient Egyptian tombs that is still edible after thousands of years. What other natural food source can we say that about?
Next time you are in the garden and go to shoo a bee away from you, fearful of its sting, please reconsider and instead welcome the bee's presence in your life. When there are bees in your garden then you are encouraging the natural flow of life in your immediate surroundings. Plant and encourage flowers rich in nectar that bee's just love, not to mention birds also.
Developing a deep appreciation for nature's energy revitaliser, honey will enrich your life in bountiful ways and also ensure you are nourishing the body with a food source which is created in total order and adherence to universal flow.

Sacred Adornment ©
From the dawn of time, since we discovered our connection to the immortal divinities in our midst, humans have emulated the gods and goddesses through the power of adornment and scent. Nothing quite arouses our senses of smell, sight, touch, feeling and hearing as the application of oils, perfumes, clothing, jewellery and face painting. When we engage in these acts we are carrying out a very ancient ritual that brings us closer to our own divine selves.
It was said that the aroma of perfume always preceded the arrival of a divine being. The smell of jasmine or myrrh, sandalwood or patchouli invokes a hidden mystery and envelops our energy field in a fine veil of protection from any lower energy in our midst. It actually feels sublime, we are elevated and we use the word “sensual” when we adorn our skin with natural perfumed oils just like the gods and goddesses of old.
Modern day synthetic perfumes actually deplete our field and deaden our senses. There are slick campaign ads and fancy packaging to entice sales, but if the ingredients listed on the packaging are numbers and names that sound like a chemistry lesson then this is not a natural substance for your skin. Our skin is a living-breathing organ and likes to be fed with natural, easily absorbed non-toxic ingredients. Perfumes made from natural plant substances brighten our field and can shift our emotional levels in an instant.
It is so simple to make your own natural perfume oils for adornment in daily life and sacred ritual. A refreshing spray can be made from distilled water with a few drops of essential oils, crystals or herbs added. Carried around in a purse or kept on a desk or near your bed, spray it around your field often for a tingling quick energy brightener. Body lotions and oil can be made from natural organic bases like almond oil or grape seed oil, adding essential oils for a delicious treat for your skin and emotions.
When applying oils, perfumes and lotions, really absorb into the moment just like a divine being. Take the time to lovingly caress your skin and see yourself absorbing the quality of the oil or perfume you are wearing. Applying oils and perfumes is a sacred act to bring one closer with the soul. It has nothing to do with vanity, but everything to do with reverence.
The ancient Egyptians were among the first civilisations to take the act of adornment to levels of excellence. One only has to look at the thousands of relief’s left behind to know that cleanliness was next to godliness for these people. A famous symbol of the Egyptians is The Wedjat or The Eye of Horus. It is a black outline around the eye, the markings of a hawk eye.
We’ve all heard the expression “hawk eye” to describe someone who has keen eyesight and doesn’t miss a thing. To the Egyptians the sight they were speaking of was inner sight. The ability to see through the mundane into the real depths of one’s soul from which all the answers of the universe can be brought forth.
Thus, you will see thick black kohl used around the eyes on all Egyptian divinities, kings, queens and everyday people, male and female alike. This was an act to bring divine sight to ones eyes through the sacred, careful application of the outline of the hawk eye.
Next time you apply eyeliner or eye make-up keep this in mind. I have always enjoyed outlining my eyes, taking special attention to enjoy the experience and sink into the depths of my soul as I do this. When applying eye makeup in this way you truly heighten the power of your eye to see beyond the obvious and increase and your magnetic quality of attraction to others.
Similarly the application of lip colour and outlining the lips has much to do with the power of our words and speech. You may be familiar with the Egyptian Ankh symbol and relief’s of Goddess Isis & Hathor taking the Ankh and applying it to the lips of the pharaohs. This act passed on the kiss of life and the power of the word.
With this in mind, carefully apply your lip adornment, visualising your words being full of strength and truth as you speak them. These rituals when practiced really do work and allow us to feel an instinctual connection between the physical and spiritual.
In India the bindi is applied between the eyebrows to enhance the inner sight through the third eye. Today we can draw on our own bindi patterns or purchase beautiful designs to wear on our third eyes (the Ajna chakra) and affirm that we seek higher truths in life and to show our respect for the body mind connection.
Everyone knows that when you spend your time preparing for an event or night out and indulge yourself in a warm shower, saturated in oils and perfumes and then slowly dress and adorn your hair, face and skin you can’t help but feel lifted and ethereal. We can all bring a little of this special sacredness into our everyday routine.
Just one small act of sacred adornment everyday will heighten your connection to the divine and bring you into present moment awareness. You will exude an air of other worldliness and inner knowing and be an inspiration to all those whom you come into contact with.
Use your creative, divine spark and establish your own ancient rituals for today in a highly personal way through sacred adornment. Let your imagination soar as you walk in the footsteps of Queen Cleopatra or King Tutankhamen and use reverence for the body as the doorway to reverence for the divine.

Being Yourself ©
It occurs to me on a somewhat constant basis these days that those people in society who truly are being themselves are the ones who are ridiculed and put down. But why? Why do some of us find the need to shoot down the stars as they rise? Is it because these people are afraid of the dark? I wonder how many people who are afraid of the dark are also the ones living in fear of truly being themselves?
So we've all heard of the shadow self and the dark side that is part of us, but what does this really mean and how can we get it once and for all, that held within the dark of our core is the answer to who we really are?
Let's begin by going back to your childhood. Who were you intrinsically as a young child? What were your gifts, skills and talents? The ones that were just there from the very beginning. What were you good at? Did you sing, play, dance, write, speak out, ponder everything, make up plays and stories, run amok, sit quietly, love the company of animals? Take a moment now and remember whom you were when you first came into this present physical existence.
Really get back to your childhood self and feel sh/he on for size. Let these feelings well over and sink into you and write down some key points as you go. As you do this you may also want to put on a piece of music that makes you feel good. Music that you really resonate with. That awakens your heart, inspires you to feel and move, and could be called your signature song or piece. Notice what thoughts and feelings arise.
It's important not to judge yourself for what music you love during this process, because denying this is denying your soul urge. When we use sound and music to help us connect with the universal life force we can activate immediate shifts in our molecular structure, further allowing our true selves to emerge.
Now that you have the feeling and memories back of what your innate gifts and talents are, ask yourself "How am I fully utilising this energy, right now, today in my life? Are you a lover of the country, quaint cottages, gardening and home cooked meals yet are now living in a concrete apartment block never visiting nature settings and grabbing take ways on the way home every evening? Which side do you think is the dark one?
This comparison of childhood with today will be an enlightening experience for many people. So often we yearn for meaning and purpose in our life when it really is simple to figure out. Just live out your innate qualities that you brought in with you as a child.
Our dark side is always, the part of us we are denying. There is nothing sinister or scary about it. Too often when people move onto a spiritual path they believe they must give up and deny their past experiences and be only light and fluffy and full of artificial goodness. The principles of Reiki very much support us in not judging ourselves first and foremost. When we are trying to be something we are not we feel bad, unauthentic and then ultimately lash out at others because we are really angry with ourselves.
We call it the dark because it literally is the part of us we do not want to see. There are many reasons why we close our eyes to who we are. Perhaps you were yelled out or made fun of by your peers or family when you were just being yourself as a child, teenager or adult. The message you took on was "It is wrong or bad to be myself".
I remember when I took my first reiki course. Suddenly my whole world turned upside down, as for the first time since I was a young girl I could let down my guard and feel safe to be me. Revealing parts of myself I had hidden away for many years. There was no judgement in the reiki process of opening the heart and in this trusting group environment I began to remember my innate gifts and began to bring them out again into my adult life.
Group healing really can help us embrace ourselves faster than personal work can at times. For we see we are not the only ones afraid of shining our light and through the power of group encouragement and unconditional love we can begin to reshape ourselves back to the former glory of our childhoods.
There are some very practical steps you can take right now to bring home the dark horse that is you.
* Start to make some noise. Whether that be humming, singing, talking gibberish, or speaking out aloud. Sound releases emotional blockages and also is the doorway to belief in ourselves.
* Dress the way you want to. Don't worry about what other people think. What other people think of you is none of your business!
* Listen to music that makes you feel good, not the music that you think others expect you to listen to.
* Have an opinion. Begin to express your own thoughts and speak up when you disagree with statements being made.
* Take that class you have been longing to get involved in. Enrol today!
* Bring colour into your life. Colour up your home, garden, food, clothes, hair and office.
* Surround yourself in things that express who you are. If you love dolls/toys/games then go get one that expresses the essence of you.
* Allow yourself to play and have fun. Be silly and revel in it.
Coming into your own really is up to YOU. The skills and compassion that the essence of reiki teaches really can assist in healing the wounded child in all of us. But ultimately you must choose to step into your power and this means accepting that which you are denying.
The dark holds our hidden treasures and the promise of surprise and uncertainty. It teaches us to trust in our soul to lead us through life. So next time you find yourself out under the velvety blanket of darkness imagine the universal energy force buoying you up and whispering in your ear "We love you just the way you are".

What Time is it? ©
Have you ever noticed how lately time seems to be speeding up? There just isn’t enough time in the day to get everything done that we’re “supposed” to be doing. There are deadlines, timelines, time frames, crunch time, due by dates, expiry dates, use by dates, appointment times, start dates, finish dates, not enough hours in the day etc. etc. and well, you get the picture, we are pushed for time!
We are told time is speeding up because we are getting older and have more responsibilities in our life than we did when we were kids. However, the myth of time running out is one of the greatest inventions ever concocted to keep us all in a continual loop of striving for the future whilst lamenting over the past.
Firstly we need to understand that time does not run in a straight line or linear fashion as we are all led to believe. This idea slipped into mainstream western culture and consciousness over the past three hundred years thanks to Mr Newton’s theories (the guy who supposedly had the apple fall on his head) about time being an absolute physical reality. Under this guise we are only ever in the present moment unable to ever go back to the past or step into the future.
However, Quantum Physics and The String Theory are now squashing Newton’s ideas proposing that past, present and future, all exist right now. That in each moment is the full potential of past, present and future possibilities. In fact our subconscious mind already understands this reality. That’s why just by going into your thoughts you can change the past and future by thinking about them differently.
On top of linear time or calendar time we also have clock time to contend with. The two seem to walk hand in hand supporting one another beautifully, for as every second passes on our watches and wall clocks, we seemingly “watch” ourselves lose the past and never catch up with the future.
Now what do you think this kind of reality does to us? It keeps us on constant watch, promoting a high state of anxiety, flooding our systems with adrenalin as we constantly strive to “be on time”. It also suppresses us from feeling our feelings, as there just isn’t enough time to take “time” out and let our feelings just be felt.
When we suppress our feelings they tend to get pushed up from the heart and into our heads where we intellectualise them, turning feelings into “emotional states”. It’s important to know that our feelings are physical indicators to internal or external influences. For example, it’s a really hot day outside and you “feel” sweaty or dehydrated. Now you may like the heat, so the emotion you express (feeling + thought) is one of happiness. Or you make really be turned off by heat and so you feel depressed, you have attached a negative thought to the feeling.
So you see emotions are just feelings with thoughts added. If we can let the feeling out before it turns into an emotion we are healthier people with less stress and more energy available at call. Healthy people think for themself and cannot be ruled and regulated by the clock. The illusion of time passing us by keeps us in a constant state of panic so we don’t stop to feel our feelings and instead think too much about what we feel, thus depriving our own innate body and soul wisdom from running the show.
The ancients knew time from a very different perspective than we do today. They understood that “nature” is the true indicator of the cycles of life. One only has to watch the seasons pass outside our very own backdoors to appreciate that there is a cycle of planting, growing, blooming and withering that every living thing follows. And guess what, we are living things too!
We also naturally follow cycles of preparation, growth, coming into our own and then letting go, to again begin anew. In fact this is the divine cycle of evolution that each of us work with everyday, whether we realise it or not. So why not realise it and step out of the control of linear based time restrictions.
Appreciate and go find out for yourself that the concept of “time” is actually a cyclical thing. Everything moves in circles and spirals in this universe. We are constantly going up and around the circle. The circle and spiral are symbols found in every ancient culture, every plant, rock, animal and star system. We used to be far more in tune with the natural cycles than society has today let itself become. In fact look at your very own fingertips right now and see stamped there into every single digit, the circular, spiral pattern of life!
OK, so by now you are probably asking “How can I let go of time when it seems to control nearly every aspect of my life? The steps really are easy; all that is required from you is a bit of effort to form some new habits.
Take off your wristwatch. There really is no need to wear a watch. Most mobile phones have the time on them and you will see wall clocks everywhere and on your PC. Or ask someone for the time, a great way to meet new people.
Get out into nature everyday. Start getting your feet and hands in the natural world. Learn to play with the elements of water, earth, fire and air.
Push outside of your comfort zone and be late for once. You’ll find it really wasn’t the end of the world and no one probably minded after all.
Catch how often everyday you refer to the word “time”. Make a pact to drop references to time and see how less uptight your body feels.
Read more. It really does feed your senses to learn for yourself rather than being fed everything you believe in via the air and television waves.
And lastly as more and more people are empowered today to think for themselves we really are lifting the vibration of this planet faster than at any other age in history. Time as we know it is disintegrating and as this happens life appears to be sped up. Very soon we will be free of time frames forever. So bring it on now by being a time free person in this fresh, evolving world.

The Power of Sound, Colour, The Soul and The Feminine Creative Force ©
From the second we are physically born we begin to emanate sound. The sound of our birth is the sound of our coming forth into this world. We literally herald ourselves in. The primal voice is innate power personified.
As children we generally have no problem in speaking up. In fact we crave being heard. We want the world to know who we are and to interact with us. We yell, scream, laugh, cry, sing and talk to invisible friends. We know who we are and are happy with whom we are. Making sounds is a natural as breathing for us. How we look on the outside is of no importance to us. Knowing who we are on the inside, we are completely trusting in our learning, growing and preparing.
Then the impact of the physical world hits us. It’s almost as if at a certain age those around us want us step out of our own creative power and become entrapped like so many adults into a world of work, outside responsibility and constant striving.
Our link to spirit diminishes, but sound is the one key, which is always with us and can bring us back home to ourselves in an instant.
Think of all those times in life when music soothed you or uplifted you. A certain song helped you get through a painful relationship breakdown; another song helped you celebrate an important milestone. Remember how the resonances of these pieces moved through your soul to your very bones. They became a part of you. And they allowed you to express your emotions, releasing tension from the body and mind, freeing you to melt into the moment.
Sound or vibration is literally the substance of which we are made and the essence of every-thing in this universe. Our science has known for a very long time that we live in a vibrational reality. Where right down to the sub-atomic level of being we find only movement creating patterns of sound and colour.
Each of us is a walking, talking, swirling symphony generating our own music and tone, constantly changing and adding to the verse of the “uni-verse”.
In my workshops and personal sessions I invoke and encourage the appreciation of sound and colour waves to release emotional states and literally let off steam. I also place emphasis on integrating the left and right brain hemispheres, by including a balanced perspective of the logical and creative through speech, meditation and personal feeling and insight.
If you can imagine our bodies being like pressure cookers that hold in steam (thoughts and emotion) until the contents are nearly falling apart. Then one day the lid flips off and all the pent up thought and emotion of sometimes years, comes out in one foul swoop. We are shocked at where it all came from, as are those around us.
Now we can avoid huge spurts of emotional release by letting ourselves make sounds and use colour in everyday life as the thoughts or emotions arise. I enjoy teaching people how to re-capture their childlike appreciation for sound, humming, moving and bringing the creative feminine essence back into strong flow.
You ARE the conductor of your life. You decide what you create and how you action that out in the world. We really can move quickly on projects and through emotional states when we learn how to re-create sounds just like we innately did as children when we remembered our true soul state.
It is by Knowing Your Soul Is You that we can come back into balance and alignment with the reason of why we chose to be in this third dimension at this point in time on earth. Each of us has a reason and life path to unfold as we master the emotions of fear in accomplishing our goals.
Nothing alleviates fear as easily and quickly as sound. Whether that is your voice (talking) or moving your body or listening to music or playing an instrument, you are getting creative. Tapping into the feminine flow of nature, and truly aligning with your soul.

When
You Are Ready So
Is The World ©
Recently
someone was telling me about a fantastic new approach they
had to working with children that would involve educating
parents about energy and the universal laws governing us
all. To which I replied “Wonderful! The world needs
something like this out in the mainstream. When are you going
to launch it?” And the person responded “This
city and the world aren't ready for my work yet. I'll have
to wait until everyone is more enlightened”.
At the time I remember thinking that this person had a wonderful
idea that was bound to work and they were already working in
the field to some extent, so why wouldn't they take it further?
When the light bulb went off and I remember thinking there
is really something in this moment. Is it really the world
which isn't ready for our ideas and plans, or is it ourselves
who are not ready by not truly believing in our abilities and
insights with a commitment to action in our lives?
All too often in life we are quick to dismiss wonderful ideas
and revelations that come to us by making excuses for how
they won't work or how we will not be able to survive if
we take
such a risk and go out on a limb. We create ifs, buts and
maybes and further enhance our self-sabotage by telling our
friends
and family of our ideas believing they will tell us we are
crazy for hatching up such concoctions that will never work.
These comments from friends and associates further move us
to inaction and falsely “prove” that our ideas
were of no worth.
Does this situation sound all too familiar? Has there been
one time or more in your life when you came up with an innovative
idea for a better life for yourself and others only to be shot
down in flames shortly afterwards? Well, this situation can
be avoided very easily and it all depends on how much courage
and love you can muster to really bring a difference to the
world and ultimately to yourself.
Who am I? What do I want? Am I doing and being what I have
come here to do and be? So many questions perhaps ponder the
mind of people who have made the decision to awaken from their
spiritual slumber and truly step up to the plate of life.
To “Know Thyself” is an ancient creed which is
timeless and pertinent to the awakened soul. When we know
who we are then we can ultimately know who everyone else
is too
and finally come to see we are all one, all part of the same
universal source.
When we are downloaded and flooded with ideas which are coming
from the universe and therefore also from within, our spirit,
our true self which is directly part of the source, we know
we are what is called “connected”. It's like
plugging an appliance's electrical cord into a socket and
turning the
on switch, where our body is the applicance, the cord our
spirit and the plug is the conductor of the universal source.
Instantly
we are hit with a flow that buzzes right through us and is
direct, real and natural. Now, when we block the on switch
or forget to even plug ourselves in by getting caught up
in the unreality of the material world we become unenergised,
lethargic, tired, inactive and demotivated.
So part of believing in yourself and then ultimately your connection
to the universe is to ensure you are switched on every day.
See your body, spirit, all matter as part of everything in
the universe all coming from one electrically charged source
which is also you. We are everything, the microcosm and macrocosm,
so it is only natural we should be picking up on signals from
source on a constant basis.
Now when you truly understand this you can TRUST! Trust what
you are a part of; trust you are the universe, a receiver and
mini expression for the natural flow of life in all its beauty
and flavour. Knowing this, your ideas when connected to source
energy cannot be anything but divinely inspired and therefore
guaranteed to be worthy and required.
Fear often times holds us in a state of inaction. Yet the
paradox of fear is that the only way to dissipate it is to
move though
it one step at a time. To feel connected and therefore “empowered” with
energy you must action your greatest fears and thereby realise
they are powerless blockages of universal source. A tree
does not fear to grow as it will, wondering if its leaves
will block
the view of another flower, or become agitated when a bird
decides to nest in it's branches. The tree allows all to
be and gets on with its task of growing and moving.
We are no different than a tree. We are source energy also,
like everything in nature, the universe, so let's simplify
the task here on earth and move with the natural flow. Try
it on if only for a day or a week then a month, a year, your
entire lifetime. It can't hurt anymore than the pain of being
stuck in inaction and lethargy. In fact it may just be the
key to really be living your true purpose of being.
Trust that you are an expression of the universe and therefore
you are valid and natural and so are your ideas and inspiration.
Please act now without delay! Shine your universal light for
all to see and feel thus showing all the way to shining our
own part of the universal expression.
Goethe brilliantly summed up what this article is about with
the below words to live by.
“ Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw
back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative
(and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance
of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the
moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves
too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise
have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents
and meetings and material assistance, which no person could
have dreamed would have come their way.
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, magic and power in it. Begin
it now!”

The Power Of Secrecy ©
Imagine this scene… It’s your birthday and you are just about
to blow out the candles on your cake. Someone says "Don’t forget
to make a wish”. You close your eyes, make a wish and
blow out the candles. You hear “Did you make a wish?” “Yes” you
say. “Don’t tell anyone or it won’t come
true” comes back the reply.
Does this sound familiar? Most of us have been witness to this scenario
or have had it happen to us over the years of our life. How many of us
have kept those wishes without telling others what we wished for?
How many wishes came to pass? Now, have you ever stopped to consider the
profound insight and the honouring ritual that is provided in making a
wish and then keeping it tight?
Here’s another scenario. You’ve decided to perhaps give up
smoking or go on a diet or go on an overseas holiday or look for a new
job or that you’re ready for a new relationship or to change your
hair colour and style or to move house. You know the drill.
You are all revved up and committed to bringing newness into your life.
Now the first thing you do is go and tell your friends, family,
workmates or any one who will listen all of your plans and how great the
outcome is going to be. You tell them all the reasons why you are now ready,
how much better things are going to be for you. You say this all with such
excitement, determination and enthusiasm.
Sound familiar? Now
how many of those plans that you told everyone, ever
did come to full fruition? Really look back over
your life and consider all the times you spent your
precious energy telling everyone what was going to
happen rather than channelling that energy into creating
the changes in your life.
You see the greatest secret to manifesting anything in your life is exactly
that…
Keep your plans and dreams SECRET
Imagine a seed that contains within it the code, the vision to become an
exotic flower. Now this seed rests in the darkness patiently holding firmly
to its vision of how it will grow and what it will become in full bloom
right through to withering and renewing yet again.
The seed never questions whether or not it will become a flower
and never boasts about it either. It stays quietly dedicated to
its goal in the absolute knowing that it will succeed. A seed
starts out its existence in the ground which is dark, quiet and protected.
Just like your dreams begin in the dark of your imagination. They
require time to be felt and tried on for size in your imagination
before they are ready to sprout out into the light of day.
Now the seed doesn’t poke its head out of the soil every
five minutes and proclaim to all the other plants around it that it will
soon be an amazing flower with brilliant colours never seen before. Imagine
if it did. The other plants and flowers may begin to doubt their own
worth and not want this amazing new flower on display next to them.
They may decide that this will threaten their survival and then
plot to shoot down the growth of this new magnificent flower.
It is the same with us. For example, if you have plans to start a new business
that is unique and hasn’t been done before, by telling other people
of your plans before you have had the time to germinate the idea in
your mind is akin to self-sabotage and is setting yourself
up to fail. Wait until you have really felt what it will be like to be
living life in your new business. How does it smell, taste, move, sound,
feel? Really imagine you are living it and then set about
putting practical steps in place to realise this goal or aim.
Keep this vision secure within yourself and share only
if you must with the absolute minimum of people whilst the idea is in its
infancy. Perhaps your partner/true friend whom you know has your best interests
at heart.
When you tell many people of your ideas before you have built up the energy
around you of living this new idea you will bring up other’s fears
and doubts about why they themselves are not living the life of their dreams.
You will become a button pusher for humanity and unless you are extremely
strong willed you will absorb their reflected fears and doubts back
onto yourself. This could thereby cripple your new visions into withering
up and dying before they ever come to light.
This is how many of our new wants and
wishes never come to pass, because we self-sabotage
ourselves by telling everyone what we want before
we have had a chance to try on the change for size.
Basically it is our ego that feels it necessary to tell every
one of our new ideas and plans. Other people DO NOT NEED to know what you
plan. They really don’t. It is the ego which NEEDS to blurt out upcoming
attractions to make itself feel good. The ego or personality is not YOU,
not the true YOU. It is your outer shell. The place where ideas and imagination
spring from is the seat of the soul, your true essence your spiritual self.
Now when you align your outer self with your inner self by keeping
ideas tight the energy that builds up becomes like a pressure
cooker and within minimal time will shoot through so that you are 100%
in alignment between what you desire, what you project, what you attract
and what you are.
Easy isn’t it ! In
summary embody the following for realising the life
of your dreams:
• Meditate regularly to quiet mind chatter and paint clear inner pictures
of how you wish to express the real you in the outer world
• Draw, write down your ideas from the imagination of how they will
look and become in the outer world
• Keep this all to yourself!!!
• Try on your new ideas - feel them, taste them, smell them, listen to
them. Really use your imagination on all levels, do this every
day.
• Start to put practical steps into motion to realise these visions
• Be receptive to attracting new people and situations into your life which
are in alignment with your new visions
• Keep this all to yourself!!!
• Resist the temptation to tell others of your plans no matter how tempting
• Keep the faith of your visions, update them regularly if they require
tweaking
• Go about your business in the absolute knowledge that your ideas and
visions are being whipped up in the cosmic kitchen
• This will enable you to LET GO of the outcome
• Don’t sweat the small stuff. Sometimes the universe sends us even
better, far more creative results when we are not pedantic
on the finer details
• Watch your life transform and others of your energy frequency being magnetically
drawn to you
• Give humble thanks to your trusting connection with spirit
• Well done!
The world needs each of us to step up to the spiritual plate and
become the leader for each by leading by example. You have
the power within you right now to lead and shine your light. Do
so with the wisdom of your true self and watch your world and ours transform.

Our Feline
Sound Healers ©
From the
dawn of our known beginnings the cat has been revered
for its agility, grace, independent spirit, fierce hunting
skills and heightened awareness. We have revered the cat
for its
feminine sensuality, uncontained elegance and the sense
of self love and appreciation that it shows us. There is
also
the familiar rumbling purr of a contented cat, or is
it
more than mere contentedness that stimulates a cat to purr?
What
if purring serves a valuable sonic purpose and the beautiful
cat is actually much more than a sensitive companion?
What if the cat is actually an ancient sound healer strategically
placed in our very midst's?
At some point in our lives we may be given the privilege
of the close contact with a feline, domesticated or otherwise.
I say privilege because make no mistake, a cat chooses
you
to be with and not the other way around. Whether you are
given a cat, or one turns up on your doorstep or you
make a carefully
planned expedition to the local pet shop or cattery it
is the cat that has drawn you to it with its incredibly
perceptive
ability to seek out frequencies which are in harmony with
it's talents as a healer.
We all emit an energy frequency on waves of sound and light
that are picked up by like waves and either accepted or
dismissed. This is what is meant by being “In Tune” or “In
Sync” with someone or something. When we emit the frequency
of desire for self love and healing in our lives the cat
will pick up on this frequency and be drawn to us like a
magnet.
We've all seen cases where a cat will be drawn to perhaps
the one person in a room who says “I don't like cats!” The
cat will not leave this persons side, much to their dismay.
This is the very person who can benefit from the cats healing
sonic waves emitted when they have found a deep sound wave
match. The cat will spend time brushing up alongside this
person and purring as it does so letting off a vibration
of tranquility
and peace that will serve to balance the energy frequency
of the person who is subconsciously seeking more love and
acceptance
in their life.
How many times has it been said that “If a cat likes
you, you must be OK?” This is because you cannot pull
the wool over a cat's eyes. They penetrate deep into the
soul and see us for who we really are. Even the most hardened
person's
outer shell is no match for a feline's intuitive sense. They
instinctively know when someone or something needs their
special brand of vibrational healing.
Just being in the radius of a cat's purring range gives
us a very freeing and melodic feeling. We've all seen how
a
cat loves wandering through open cupboards and behind musty
furnishings
or squeezing into tight places. When your cat does this
give them the utmost thanks as they are “hard at work” shifting
and clearing the energy frequency of your home to bring it
into harmony. Allow them to get on with their work instead
of scolding them for being in these places. This is part
of their job. They love cleaning up stale energy and transmuting
it into a higher vibe with their sonic sweeping purr waves.
In fact I call it the “Sonic Sweep” every time
my cat goes about cleaning up pockets of stuck energy. Speak
to your cat with great appreciation just as you would any other
who selflessly goes about making your environment a healthier
place to live in. If a cat's purr could be seen visually it
would look like the waves on a ship's sonar, sweeping it's
available radius with a very fine vibration that virtually
disintegrates any molecules of a lower vibration. It is the
same process of “entrainment” that dolphins,
those great sound healers of the oceans use with their sonar.
Entrainment occurs when we synchronise our vibrational
rate (or rhythms) up with a like vibration or something
vibrating
higher than us. For example when you are lying close to
someone and you notice how you both start to breathe in
time with one
another. The out breath and in breath are taken simultaneously
by both people. This synchronicity allows us to build rapport
and trust and transfer and accept each others energy in
a positive way.
Thus, after we have been playing with a cat for even a
short time we walk away feeling lighter and more joyful
because
of the energy transference. The cat meanwhile has transmuted
any
lower vibration we have given off through its sonic sweep
mechanism of the purr. The cat is constantly cleaning its
energy 24/7
through the vibration of purring and “shaking off” energy.
Shaking off energy allows the cat not to “take on our
stuff”. You will notice how a cat will instantly, briskly
shake itself after being patted or held or coming into contact
with another animal. This shaking off instantly disperses
any vibrations not to its liking, breaking them up before
they
can be absorbed by the cats own energy field, or aura.
Now dogs also do a great job at shaking off energy however
they tend to “take on” a lot more of the human
condition because they are not physically equipped with the
purring mechanism and higher sensitivity that the cat has.
It would take a lot of “unnatural” living i.e.
kept constantly indoors in a negative, stuck environment
devoid of any changes for a cat to take on the physical grievances
of its human companions.
A healthy cat is one that is allowed free reign in its
immediate environment and has outdoor time everyday. Just
as we need
to spend time in nature to re-charge our batteries so does
a cat. So ensure they are able to feel the ground beneath
their paws and the wind in their whiskers and are fed a
healthy diet
with lots of visual stimulation every day.
It is not a sign of weakness or loss of masculinity to
adore having a cat in your home, work or leisure environment.
It
is an act of power to accept one of these great healers
into your personal energy sphere. Your sensitivity and
physical
and energetic health and that of your space will lift immensely
when you let one of these precious helpers into your life.
Just as the ancient Egyptians built temples to honour this
sacred creature so can we say thank you every time a cat
chooses us to be near. Know that this leisurely beauty
that appears
to be adoring itself and you is actually one of the most
instinctive hardest working energy transmuters on this
planet. Selflessly
giving back to humans like a reflection in a mirror the
self love we crave for ourselves in this earthly playground
of ups
and downs.

The Crystal City ©
Imagine a city nestled in
between a large protected coast line of clear abundant
waters and an array of rolling hillside. Within 10 kilometers
of the city is the ocean on one side and the country and
natural bush land on the other. The surrounding hills are
full of white rock crystal, iron ore and bluestone right
down through to the plains of the city. Where the ocean
meets the shore more clear crystal quartz dances alongside
the ocean's edge on white sandy beaches.
The entire city rests on a gridline line of clear crystal
quartz, the planets greatest “natural” amplifier
of energy transmissions. At night the city lights dazzle
and twinkle like stars under a blanket of darkness. At dawn
the sun resplendently rises in the east over the hilltops,
melting into the ocean in the west at dusk.
The people of this city are presented with a lush, easy going,
cosmopolitan lifestyle and have been drawn here from all
corners of the earth, creating a melting pot of ideas and
cultures. This city is eclectic and artistic producing souls
who have made vast impacts on the world stage.
This glorious location description for a city sounds and
feels quite idealic and blissful and indeed it is, if this
is what you believe. However, if you feel otherwise, then
this is exactly what this city will deliver to you. For you
see this city is built on a bed of crystalline energy. This
crystalline energy will amplify any and all inner thoughts
whether they be positive or negative. This city is my hometown
and it is “Adelaide” in South Australia.
I have lived in Adelaide for most of my life only spending
short stints away living and traveling overseas. Despite
the fact that technically this city has everything a person
could want all affordable and within easy reach, there has
always been an uneasy edge to living here that so many others
share and this edge continues to draw people here in ever
increasing numbers whether they realise it or not.
I've had the conversation with so many of my fellow “Adelaidians” over
the years of “What is it about Adelaide that seems
to just bring up people's stuff more than any other place?”.
I know people that have been born in places like India, Iran,
Israel and England who have ended up in Adelaide drawn here
by work or relationships and then finding themselves seemingly “stuck” here
with so many of their shadow issues or parts being exposed
and amplified ten fold.
For so long I have sort out a reason for this magnetic pull
of Adelaide and why so many people bag this city extensively,
looking for a way out. It was only recently that it “clicked” with
me what is geographically and metaphysically going on here,
whilst I was at a local gem and mineral fair in the Adelaide
hills.
I've have been aware for years of the rich mineral deposits
throughout the Adelaide region, particularly white crystal
quartz. I also have known that an ancient fault line runs
through this state and that the Flinders Ranges host point “44” (the
number of angelic hosts) on the world energy grid, in alignment
with Uluru the “heart” chakra of the planet.
This is actually a very “spiritual” place energetically
speaking, so why do so many people feel uncomfortable with
their lives whilst living here?
Adelaide is the kind of place that helps you to “wake
up”. This is the power of crystal quartz. The quartz
structure of Adelaide amplifies all thought and the energy
field permeating and surrounding all matter and all dimensions.
So if you come here feeling like it is a nice place to lay
low and hide (yet internally wishing you could do the exact
opposite) then your internal thought pattern will be amplified
here on maximum charge. Your spiritual self will be illuminated
here through the power of the crystal energy drawing it out
of you. Now what you do with that information is crucial
in determining how much you enjoy living here or feel like
running away.
A well known Sydney Healer (who is originally from Adelaide)
once said to me that she thought Adelaide was a place where
you either move away from or go to die. At the time I thought
her words quite perplexing but maybe on a deeper level she
is right. If you can surrender your ego (die) and let your
soul self find its way in Adelaide (where one's demons are
brought up very easily) then you can sustain yourself anywhere
in the galaxy. It's like if you can pass your stint in Adelaide
with flying colours then you can do it anywhere. What a testing
ground it is.
I see Adelaide as a draw card for souls wanting to clear
through centuries of karma in their current lifetimes. The
challenge here is realising this and working with the fears
which will come out of you to be transmuted and replaced
with a passion for growing and learning through fun and patience.
Adelaide is a mecca for personal healing.
We don't have a huge city where your every waking moment
can be taken up with activities to get preoccupied with the
doing side of life. So many people have commented on what
a “big country town” this is. That is wonderful!
You do get the opportunity to look at your life here and
what direction it is taking and what is its true meaning
that you may not be privy to in other faster paced cities.
I've always said you can run away from the place or situation
but you can never run away from yourself. So I have stuck
with Adelaide even though it has been very hard at times
looking at those parts of myself that I have judged as negative
or lack lustre. But if I had run away I wouldn't have had
the opportunity to grow and become wise anywhere else as
fully I have here and I truly believe that.
There is wonderful opportunity amongst the growing number
of people who are waking up form their spiritual slumber
to honour their true selves and move through life with ease
and joy using Adelaide as their base. With the amplification
properties of the crystals we live on we can send out untold
positive vibrations to the planet and endless universes surrounding
us.
It is my desire that you see Adelaide for the wonderful healing
piece of earth that it is and with this knowledge dissolve
your blocks and challenges and project out your true self
in shining display to the world. Ask the earth to help you
by spending time outdoors, at the ocean or surrounding hillsides
and really feel the crystal energy cleaning your field and
allowing you to gain you spiritual strength and vision in
this ancient land. I feel honoured and lucky to have chosen
Adelaide as my birthplace and current home and I thank it
for the endless gifts of insight that it presents to me and
all my fellow travelers.

Finding
Our Soul Families ©
Have you ever met a complete stranger and yet as soon as you look upon
one another or hear each other’s voice or catch each other’s
smile you instantly feel comfortable and enlivened all at once? It’s
like starting up a conversation that was once paused between you and can
now begin again. Not a beat is missed. It’s like you’ve known
each other for hundreds of years, like you have known each other forever.
“Where do I know you from”, you might ask? As both of you search
for a time and place when you may have met in this lifetime something deep within
you says, “I have always known you and how glad I am to have found you
again”.
This scenario is being played out with increasing occurrence upon the earth
at this time. As more and more people awaken from their spiritual slumber
and acknowledge their divine origins we are being drawn back together.
These are soul group members who started
out as fledglings of energy in pure spirit and who are grouped together
with like vibrations of sounds, shapes and colours.
Lifetime after lifetime we have incarnated together, perhaps never physically
meeting, perhaps incarnating at different times in earth years. Swapping
roles as son, mother, brother, uncle, best friend, boss, unrequited love
et al. And on it goes for our souls’ continued growth and levels
of expansion.
In my practice as a Sound & Colour Healer I see an increasing number
of people who are feeling alienated by their biological families. With
more and more people being drawn to seeking out new friends and partners
to fill a soul urge.
This invariably sets up within them a feeling of guilt at having feelings
of greater connection to people who they may have known for only a short
time compared to the families they were born into.
How many times have your heard a relative say ”Be nice to your mother
(or father) etc., they’re the only one you’ve got”! But
ah, this is where an illusion is bought into. You see on the level
of spirit you never only have one mother or father here on earth. In fact
you yourself will play or have played this role countless lifetimes before
or to come.
You may swap roles with your current family and become the mother or father
in the next life to your current parents. The point is that we choose
the family we are born into to teach us the lessons that our soul
wants for its highest development and expansion. We choose what
roles we will play in these family units.
But your biological family may not be your
soul family. In fact they may come from other
soul groups who work in conjunction with you to teach
hard lessons and to give each other some grit to run
up against in polishing the pearl that is you and that
is them.
A great number of souls incarnating on earth at this time are waking up
in large numbers and as they do so are raising the vibration of the entire
planet. This in turn has a domino effect, sending out ripples of vibrating
sound waves (similar to dolphin’s sonar) that attracts like resonating
patterns to one another.
We feel an urge, a compulsion to seek out people in our life who we are
in tune with, who are like minded, and who resonate with us. And indeed
this is what is needed on earth at this time. A coming together of soul
groups, our true spiritual family to uplift, push, encourage and support
one another during this time of rapid change upon the planet.
The Law of Attraction compels like energy together. This is a universal
truth. This is what is meant by like attracting like. If you can
imagine blobs of mercury that have been separated pulling themselves back
together to become whole again. Together they are stronger, more resilient.
In consciously seeking out those in your soul group, you will likewise
strengthen your energy and by coming together raise each other’s
rate of vibration so you can work through life issues and challenges with
greater ease and conviction.
Some of you may feel an urge to change your first or last name, or revert
to a different spelling or pronunciation of your name. The letters that
make up your name are your personal signature and carry
very distinct energies. By changing your name you will
attract different people and situations into your life that will be more
in alignment with your soul’s urge as you develop. Changing one’s
name as an adult is a very powerful act that sets in motion a whole new
set of possibilities of attraction.
Where or how do you find your soul group? By becoming authentic to
yourself, by knowing who you are, by not being afraid to exude and convey
who you are in all situations. Seek out those hobbies, careers, sports,
interests or groups you have secretly been yearning to join. Find your
soul family by setting up the mental intention to do so and they have to
come to you, this is the law.
You will know your soul family, as these relationships are based on mutual
respect. These relationships will not tolerate dishonesty. You
will relish cultivating open communication, you can drop all defense and
simply be yourself with utmost trust. You can share your dreams and plans
without jealousy or competition. You will work together through hardship
and joy to support and encourage one another in your life’s tasks.
You will strive to love without conditions and honour each other’s
level of soul development. You will work on these commitments daily,
no matter how hard your ego may object and you will know that in so doing
you are living a fulfilling, meaningful life.
Your soul family and greater harmony awaits
you now. It is your choice, your intention
that will seek them out. If you feel compelled to do
so, excellent, do so without delay. Enriching your
life with soul group relationships can only make all
your other relationships more meaningful, accepted
and understood.
I wish you well on your travels!
