“My mother was only 44 when she died suddenly leaving behind my father and

three teenage daughters. I was the youngest and for many years felt very alone. No one we knew had been through the same experience. We struggled with how we should remember someone so immensely important to us.

I was only 13 when my mother died and I still remember the plastic container that held her ashes for so many months. It was unsightly and unrefined – everything she wasn’t.

12 years later, post ceramic studies, my beauti-ful grandfather died. My Nan was saddened that his ashes were contained in such an ugly box. I thought ‘I can create something so she would always have a beautiful vessel for her beloved.’ I created the very first porcelain Ashkeeper for my dear grandfather. My Nan still has his ashes and when she dies, she wants them to be scattered together – eternal love.

The Ashkeeper concept came about because I wanted to create an urn or vessel that instead brings life to the sadness of death and encourag-es us to cherish positive memories forever. Talk-ing about death helps to ease the pain of loss.

sign to the public that perhaps you need to be more gentle around the family.

Last year I participated in Deathwalker Training with Zenith Virago. We learned a whole spectrum of death; what to expect and how to journey with the dying – from illness to sudden death to ceremony and loss. I find it incredibly fascinating and I’m ready to discover more.

I don’t believe death is the end. My Nan’s grandmother used to say to her “We will all meet again, in a more beautiful place.”

you can find Ashley Fiona’s jewellery at Gnostic Rocks. See more at www.ashleyfiona.com

The Ashkeepers are high fired porcelain and are intentionally spherical as the sphere is a familiar, immediately relatable form and is connected to the cycle of life: birth, death and rebirth.

The surface designs are handpainted and inspired by mandalas. The intricate pattern evolves organically as I hand paint directly on the surface of the Ashkeeper. Creating such per-sonal and meaningful pieces is a very meditative process where each one is unique.

An outcome of my own personal healing, an Ashkeeper is designed to do just that. The Ashkeepers are my souls purpose – it’s my heart work. They are artworks to be interacted with. once inverted, the lid creates a special candle holder for times of remembrance. An important note is that the Ashkeepers don’t have to con-tain ashes – I don’t have any of my mother’s ashes. I use mine for keepsakes that I hold ten-derly when I want to feel a deeper connection.

We need to talk about death, it’s the one thing we are all destined to experience. I honestly believe ‘you’ve got to feel it to heal it.’ We’ve forgotten our traditional death customs. Families no longer wear black when they’ve experienced a recent death. There’s no outward

Besides the intensity of childbirth, parenting a child is quite possibly the hardest job

you can choose to do. It requires awareness, patience, compassion, understanding, and an equal serving of firm but fair.

Sometimes we forget all these things when we are disconnected from our bodies and our breath. The effect of this is a disconnection from our child’s needs in that moment.

Through yoga, we realise that we always have choice to react in anger or respond with patience. And this isn’t always easy. But the best lessons in life are often the most challenging ones.

We can practice breath awareness when we are stressed to bring us back to centre and back to each moment. Being an observer to our breath, our body and our mind’s chatter, can help us to remain present for moments at a time. When we notice our behaviour before

ORGAnICS

The question I ask is why wouldn’t you choose organic? Some people say to me

‘why would you pay that much for organic food? It doesn’t taste any better, it doesn’t look any better, and there is no evidence that it is better for your health…’

Firstly it does taste better – it might not be sparkly clean but I know it’s natural and not human enhanced. As for the expensive part I believe there is no price on good health, as ‘good health is our most important asset’.

Lastly, there might not be a double-blind- placebo controlled trial done on the risks versus the non-risks of eating organic but for me its ev-ident alone with cancer rates going from 1 in 11 to now being 1 in 2 (Latest Australian statistics). This increase was within around 9 years – that’s a dramatic jump! Also within my own clinical experience the amount of endocrine imbalanc-es and toxicities that people are presenting with is all the evidence I need.

Now I know it’s not just about the food – it’s about the water, our environment and other factors. But I also know that prevention is always better than trying to treat a disease whether that is cancer, metabolic issues, auto-immune, cardiovascular and any other disease.

WHY CHOOSE ORGANIC?

Most of our food is fertilized, chemically sprayed with herbicides, fungicides and pesti-cides to protect them from weeds, pests and fungus.

organic food means avoiding that chemical residue left on foods. It means we are eating less toxins and more how nature intended.

It also means we are supporting work-ers and farm neighbors by reducing their exposure to potentially harmful concentrated chemicals, less fossil fuel converted into ferti-lizers, means healthier soils and more sustain-able crops and a more ethical way of living.

Did you know that one non organic apple has around 55 chemical residues found on it, we know that 1 to 8 of those chemicals are known or probable carcinogens and 12 are known hormone disruptors. These may be the possible reasons why eating non-organic food could cause severe health issues. The human body is made from organic vitamins and min-erals NoT from synthetic chemicals.

Xenoestrogens, one of the more troubling types of endocrine disruptors, mimic estrogen and attach to the body’s estrogen-receptor sites, in both women and men. These xenoes-trogens interfere with hormonal signalling and are believed to cause an increased risk of breast, prostate, and reproductive cancers; reduced fertility; early puberty in children; menstrual irregularities; endometriosis; and other disorders.

While healthy levels of estrogen in the body are key in supporting a number of normal physiological functions, an excessive amount of estrogen (specifically, high levels of “bad” estrogen) lead to hormonal imbalances with detrimental effects on reproductive health.

Where are Xenoestrogens found? In many of the chemical pesticides, herbicides and fungicides used on our food. For these reasons alone I would urge you to choose organic.

New on the CornerFounders of Constant Craving Cakes Julie and Russell have bought Gnostic Mini Mana and are busy creating their new shop on the Corner.

“We have supplied Gnostic Mana Café with cakes for many years – we share the same business and personal ethics,” says Julie. “We like to create jobs and teach our staff to achieve their best while they are with us and aspire to do more when they move on to further their careers.

Russell had the idea of opening a small takea-way to sell cakes and pies. We had been looking at different areas of the Central Coast when we received a call from Biddy asking if we were in-terested in buying Gnostic Mini Mana. I jokingly tell people Biddy asked us if we wanted to buy the Mini and we said “yeah, sure.” It was a little more complicated than that, but basically that’s what happened.

We’ve always loved this little shop. The orig-inal Simpson’s bakery was an iconic Woy Woy

landmark. People still have memories of buying their family birthday cakes there. It is one of the few shops that has its original front window and door, so we have chosen to go with a retro theme which celebrates the immediate area and architecture of the building.

The shop is being repainted with our new logo ‘Coffee Pie & Cake’. We are keeping Gnostic Coffee – Caleb is to be congratulated for his hard work in developing such a quality bean. We have introduced our pies and cakes which people are enjoying. I’m very excited to be developing new products which is one of my favourite things to do.”

Frida Be MeMore than likely you have seen her well-

browed face before. Frida Kahlo has become a Guevera-esque poster child for Mexico and feminism. Her face adorns many a product in the oh-so-addictively bright Mexican homewares department... but do you know her story?

I was a catholic school girl when I discovered her. Up to that point my mind had been sheltered by a culturally monotone hometown. Frida Kahlo de Riveras’ story struck me like a bolt of light-ning. I poured over a reproduction of her diary, resplendent with swirled writing in an unfamiliar tongue, alternating scrawled faces and angels and a name repeated..... Diego, Diego, Diego.... Who was this woman?

At that time my life had started to unfurl into increasingly queer, artistic, political, socialist cir-cles and Frida ticked all the boxes. Traditional yet revolutionary, feminine and strong, expressive yet tortured, political though delicate.

Learning about the life of Frida Kahlo was an introduction into suffering, self expression, love and art. My angst-y teenaged self revelled in the complexities and tragedy of her story but also in the rich culture of her birth country. There was WAR

Kahlo was born into the world during the violent Revolución Mexicana of 1910.There was PAIN

During her life Kahlo suffered a great many surgeries to remedy both her childhood polio and the near fatal accident she had at age 18 which broke, fractured and pierced her young body into infertility and disfigurement.There was CULTURE

Alive at a great time of change and influence, Kahlo moved in influential circles of art and pol-itics and was known for her proud and voracious love of her country’s tradition and history. There was SEX

Kahlo married post revolutionary artist, Diego Rivera. Their love affair of 25 years was passion-ate, tumultuous and dotted by affairs with men and women.There was ART

In a response to her bed-bound time Kahlo began to paint what she knew best, herself. Her

style was unique to the time in its raw honesty and Diego was once quoted as saying “(her work) exalted the feminine qualities of endurance of truth, reality, cruelty, and suffering. Never before had a woman put such agonized poetry on can-vas as Frida did at this time.”

My young self devoured the raw honesty of the story and painting upon painting of a woman hurt, scorned, thinking, feeling, exposed. To “know thyself” is the greatest maximum one can hold and Kahlo was on the hunt.

To this day I still hold Frida both as a woman and as an artist in high, but somewhat now, more considered regard. Knowledge of her life held and guided me through my blossoming and awkward years and has inspired not only a disregard for convention but also for that of excessive brow grooming.

Emily hangs out at Gnostic Village Wear and often impersonates Frida badly.

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me, too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.” – Frida Kahlo

PERSPECTIVE

aspects, including the ego, the soul and the physical body.

When any one of these is out of balance we quickly see poor results in our daily life.

If the physical body is out of balance we see addictions and illness as the result.

The ego can make us self centred and aggressive in an attempt to dominate our environment.

A healthy ego will give us pride in our ap-pearance and performance, yet an unhealthy one will allow jealousy and vanity.

In order for our soul to move forward and maximise the physical experience called life, we should recognise and control any negative influences of the ego.

Recognising this in others as well means we can live life in response to situations rather than in emotional based reaction.

The ego can have a major influence over our emotions but once we recognise this we can choose to remain calm and balanced.

GLM 12

PERSPECTIVE

These words are subjective, and that means they are open to interpretation by the

individual. We all see things differently. Because our life experiences influence the

way we look at the world each day, we are bound to see things from different angles.

In most cases we view our own behaviour as normal and everyone else’s is a variation on that. It gets really hard at times to understand some people’s point of view, certainly their behaviour – even their ethics.

We tend to deceive ourselves by thinking that we understand certain people, we feel that because they have a familiar point of view to ours they are right, yet this just means their experiences have been similar to ours. Maybe they grew up in a society with a similar code of ethical behaviour, or their family followed the same principles. We can’t ever completely understand the motivations of others. Gnostics understand that all – absolutely ALL– conflict comes from misunderstanding.

It certainly makes life easier if we mix with people who have values like ours. We know what to expect from them and we also know what we can get away with. However, real spiritual growth comes when we dare to step outside our own ethics, morals and principles and try understanding a completely different culture.

An easy, less disturbing way to do this is to read about civilisations from the past. Try to really get a feeling for their behaviour and understand what motivated them – why they accepted the things that they did. Then see them as your own ancestors, imagine how the changes that came with time had an influence on them and eventually you end up in the 21st century in your own life. You might be able to see that the threads of influence through time change what is acceptable behaviour.

Things that we once thought of as absurd or ridiculous now seem not so far left field when we see the influences that happened along the way to lead us to our current understanding. And remember we will be judged by others for our limited views also.

Everyone is doing the best they can at all times, given the limitations they have that are caused by fears, doubts and lack of under-standing.

When we accept the things that influence other peoples’ ethics, morals and principles we can live without conflict. And when we realise that ours are based on opinions we might even be prepared to let them change with time.

Ego vs Soul It is often hard to define exactly what the ego

is and whether it is good or bad?It seems the ego contributes to our person-

ality and gives us the drive and motivation to achieve and exist in the physical world.

The soul on its own would not recognise the requirements of the body and it is the ego that helps us sense danger and compete for limited resources.

However without control the ego can run amuck and become so self driven that it domi-nates your life experience.

In order to remain fully balanced we should recognise that we are a combination of many

WHAT DO YOU REALLY GnOSIS?

Gnosis is the experience of knowing. The word comes from ancient Greece, where to have gnosis about anything meant you had to have personal experience. Forget what the tab-

loids tell you – in ancient Greece it was the tablets. And the things the guy at the Parthenon told you were just his ideas. you don’t know any of it because you haven’t witnessed it. So switch on your own watcher and explore your life, being aware of your own experience. Ask yourself the question “What do I really know?” you may be surprised how many of the things that motivate your behaviour are based on opinions rather than gnosis. – MH

Your name and title, and mission in life? Tom Ledder, owner & Creator of Selenite Sword Maker LLC. My mission in life is to produce the most powerful transformative energy tools to assist light workers with their work no matter what their modality may be. The wonderful thing about the Selenite swords of light is they make the unseen light and energy become seen and felt on a tangible level.The Spiritual belief you follow?I believe we are light, sound and vibration. I believe in a Higher source, and that we can connect to our true nature with meditation. What lead you to this belief system? My belief system, grown by many years of TM meditation, is based on the concept that each of us is made of light and energy. This is our fundamental nature.

I began to study crystals in 2003 and got very interested in Lemurian crystals which eventually led me to discover the great power and won-derful properties of Selenite. As I worked with creating the first swords of light I realised that Selenite crystal had immense capability to clear any type of energetic issues, open chakras, clear meridians and even bring in higher beings of Light, Angels, Archangels and Ascended Masters.Can you share a little about the Crystal Selenite Swords? The Selenite swords of light that I make have been evolving over the years, and have become more potent with each version of the sword of light. As I travel around the world training people on how to use these tools of light I have the opportunity to pick up the powerful ener-

gies of sacred sites in Japan, Australia Canada and South America, primarily Peru. The current swords of light that I am making are called Peruvian sun swords as they bring in the pow-erful energy of light and energy. Some Swords work powerfully with the earth and Gaia. Some swords work with the cosmos others are good at clearing particular blocks within our nervous system.The personal benefits you have gained from your beliefs? As I worked with the Selenite and started to make the Selenite swords of light what I gained from this was the opportunity as an occupation to be continually working with energy with light. I use the swords of light every day on my own personal energy fields, that being; the physical body, the subtle bodies, the chakras, the meridians and the quantum field around our bodies. In addition the swords of light assist in conditioning not only your energy field but your home and land that you work with. What challenges you with your beliefs in the modern world? one challenge is a lack of education about our energetic bodies, subtle bodies, chakras, and that what we think and say is energy and has an affect on ourselves and the planet. My feeling is that in assisting the light workers in every coun-

try that I go to, I am contributing to an increase in the light quotient of the planet. The concept I believe is that as we raise the overall frequency of our own individual cells then we can transfer some of that into the general population and we can become more powerful and are trans-formational healers. The Selenite swords of light that I make is they will assist any individual to be clear have a higher frequency and be more powerful in whatever their healing modality or personal program for evolution may be.What practice do you have in daily life? My daily practice is to do a sitting meditation going into the light, experiencing the subtle or levels of thought and working with the Selenite swords to enhance my energy and frequency. This practice has allowed me to see the power that the Selenite swords of light have on hu-manity. I have also found that working with the swords of light to clear energies in my house and the land around my house has produced a pow-erful conditioning of the space where the field of all possibilities is more active and available.

What is your personal belief on the purpose of this life? All of us are here for a reason. I feel my purpose is to make the Selenite swords of light and to train the light workers of this planet how to use them. In order to make large transformational changes in society we as light workers need to be more powerful, more effective and clear in our own energies. So my objective and goal

is to help transform the planet by getting the Selenite swords of light into hands of the light worker’s that can make a difference.

What spiritual leaders inspire you and how has that influenced your life. I have had the opportunity to work with several powerful spiritual leaders in the last 35 years.

In 2003 I met a spiritual teacher/guru named Sai Maa and studied with her for six years. She became interested in the swords I had made and implemented them in her personal healing ses-sions that were done at all of her programs. This provided an opportunity for the swords of light that I was making to move around the world.

I will be coming to Australia for my third tour in September. I will be conducting workshops in the Sunshine coast, Sydney area, Blue Moun-tains and then on to the conscious life expo and then a final workshop in the Sunshine Coast of Australia. My feeling is that the light workers in Australia will assist in tackling the big issues in the world and help raise the vibrational light frequency of the planet. With all the perceived problems in the world today the answers lie in bringing more light into the planet, clearing the negative energy of the people and the land so that we can live in a world that is filled with light and beings pursuing their highest purpose.

Learn more about Tom Ledder and the Crystal Swords of Light at www.seleniteswords.com. There will be a 2 hour Introductory session with Tom and the Selenite swords at the Gnostic Forest on Wednesday 7th october at 10 am.

LOVEBUSMelissa and Bruce have turned their passion for Kombis into a boutique hire business on the Central Coast. “Bruce does most of the restoration work him-self and I handle the promotion, bookings and driving,” says Melissa. “We have 3 Kombis – Lilly, Lucy and Lois – all finished in the same orange and white colour scheme so they photograph beautifully when paired together.

We also have Lotty joining our fleet in 2016 after her restoration is completed. She is a 1967 Split Windscreen and will be another all white beauty. So now Kombi Lucy will finally have an identical twin sister! We found that no other company has white Kombis on offer for weddings.

People just love these vans – it seems like everyone has a Kombi story!”

Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art and science of ensuring harmony within our

living environment.It comes down to work with the Life force

or Chi energy. Not against it.To be in flow with Mother Nature is a wonder-

ful gift and it is there for each of us.From building the freeways, to building our

homes right down to the veggie garden in the back yard.

There are many schools of Feng Shui.Form school is the most common. It is placing

different cures in each section of the building.It is working with the elements to get the

energy moving to better our lives.Feng Shui helps us with wealth, relationships,

creativity, helpful people, our careers, knowledge and family and Health.

Some people think it is complicated to use Feng Shui. For example if you need water, you don’t have to paint the wall or place a water fountain. It can be as simple as hanging a blue ribbon in that area.

The bottom line of Feng Shui is to be happy in your surrounds.

Here are a few Feng Shui tips to get you started:u Don’t place a mirror opposite your front door,

it will send the good things straight back outu Have a small boat or picture of a boat in the

entry to your home, the boat faces into the house as it brings you and your family the harvest of life

u Don’t wear shoes in the house. We have been out walking in other’s footsteps all day and don’t want to bring their problems in to the home

Feng Shui for the Southern Hemisphere

u If you are looking for work, place an open fan above the inside of the front door. It opens you up to more opportunities

u The money Frog sits inside the front door and faces into the home or work place

u If your front door and back door are in line with each other, you will need to hang a chime inside the back door. or everything will just rush through your life.Remember that these suggestions are only a

part of Feng Shui.More Feng Shui cures can be found in my

book, Problem Solved, which is available at Gnostic Forest.

Being. To know who you are, what makes you happy and what you wish to create is your life’s biggest calling and no one else can do it for you.

you might have to hang with yourself for a while.

Chill out. Live it up! Be Still. Carpe Diem. yoLo. opportunity knocks.

Blah blah blah…The noise of fulfilment often drowns out the

still small voice inside. Most, if not all, of my deepest growth has

happened by following someone else’s advice/ideas/assumptions and trying to work my way out of inauthentic interactions and situations thusly created.

We are often so busy trying to work out what the other guy is doing that we are failing to turn within and act upon our own inherent knowing. That knowing of what is good and right for us. Authenticity has a way of weeding out those who do not love and respect you and replacing

oNe DAy a student worked up the courage to ask the Zen master, “What is it like to be enlightened?”

Without acknowledging or rejecting the seeker’s question, the master remained silent.

After some time, the teacher spoke: “I eat when I’m hungry. I sleep when I’m tired.”

The student asked, “Well, isn’t that what everyone does?”

The master, surprised, responded with a hint of a smile on his lips. “oh, you think so? When others eat, they think of thousands of things and their minds endlessly run from one thing to another. When others sleep, they dream of thousands of things and their minds create endless fantasies and dramas.”

The master closed the eyes, paused for a time, and then continued. “When I eat, I just eat. When I sleep, I just sleep. . . It’s far too simple, I know.”

Gnostic Yogini Kimberley Griffiths demonstrating Cobra Pose

This modern life style we live is affecting our wellness! The self obsession with electronic

devices and the need to continually check social media status is adversely affecting the biome-chanics of movement and physical posture is deteriorating.

Have you noticed the way people sit, stand or even walk? Chin on the chest, shoulders forward and upper back rounded as they look down at their smart phone – A devolution in posture is taking place! The spine is not meant to be straight, natural spinal curves provide strength, balance and act as shock absorbers for the body. Modern lifestyle patterns are exaggerating the spinal curves beyond their natural range, even-tually leading to injury, poor biomechanics and restricted movement patterns.

yoga postures, particularly back bends are a great antidote to the modern western seden-tary lifestyle. Bhujangasana or the cobra pose is a safe and effective prone back bend that will restore postural balance in the body. This pose increases the range of motion and strengthens the spine, opens the chest and shoulders, in-creases circulation through the lungs and abdo-men and energises the legs. The cobra pose has a positive effect of emotional health and allows the subtle energy to flow without restriction.

If you feel that you lack the mobility to prac-tice in a general yoga class or if you’re recovering from an injury or illness you can still benefit from yoga practice through our “Sit your way to health” seated yoga class. All the benefits of yoga while you’re safely sitting in a chair!

We are a product of an abundant and prolific universe and made of the same stardust

that came from the Big bang and driven by the same expansive, exuberant, life force to experi-ence and express Being. Interestingly abundance includes eVeRyTHING, from the most wonderful to the most depraved and ugly.

If as the Bhagavad Gita states, “A man is made by his beliefs, as he believes, so he is,” we are responsible for what we create. This is the roots of The Law of Attraction. As human beings we are conscious, energetic beings with the ability to co create with universal forces. We are an expression of universal energy and create thoughts and ex-pectations from our inner experience. This gives us the power to create our reality.

If we are pessimistic, this is what we project into an abundant world and this is what we find, even though joy and positivity are also present. We don’t see anything else but the negative.

Conversely, if we are optimistic and feel worthy, this is what we create.

Abundance itself is not the problem. Look at nature and its ability to sprout and adapt to new conditions and continuously multiply. If we ac-cept that abundance is already present, it simply comes down to what we are ready to accept into our lives.

Gratitude is a gratefulness for ‘what is’ and a deep heart felt ‘thank you’ for even the simple things we have in our lives. This starts with life itself and everyday things like a soothing drink, hot shower, the majesty of the Moon on a still night, or a warm smile.

The goals that have not yet manifested in your life will form more easily if you have gratitude for them, as if they are already present. If you have this attitude you have faith that your expectation is already forming. In this way Gratitude and Abundance have a symbiotic relationship.

TRAVEL: THE nETHERLAnDS

‘I ’ve never done this before, but I like you,’ she said, handing me her number. It was a

Saturday afternoon in the middle of european summer, and we had just gotten off a train from Amsterdam. Now we were sitting on the bus, letting it take us even further from that human jungle gym, bicycle infested craziness. Having spent seven hours of that day crammed into a tiny hatchback with four non-english speaking Frenchies, I was just giddy with relief that so many Dutch people spoke fluent english!

We’d had a while to wait for our bus, so this woman and I had started chatting. She’d just gotten back from a wedding in the city, and told me how the church was packed with young people. ‘I have some time free on Monday, call me and I can show you some things...’

Turning up at my accommodation, I discov-ered that my host had planned a spontaneous trip to Germany, and I now had the whole place to myself. I spent the first day wandering the small city by myself, revelling in the space. But I kept that card with her number on it... Why not say ‘yes’? on the second morning, I rang her. ‘Hi, it’s Gabriella... The girl from the bus.’ I said. ‘oh! I was hoping you’d call!’ said she ‘Shall I come and pick you up?’ ‘yes.’ And I gave her my address.

About thirty minutes later, I was picked up by this spritely seventy-year-old who was fluent not only in english and Dutch, but also Spanish from her years of missionary work in South America. With this skill up her sleeve, she started a church for Amsterdam’s influx of Spanish speaking prostitutes, and somewhere in there also spent years working in prisons running music and drama programs for inmates. She took me to see a real, working traditional Dutch windmill, the famous finger of land that separates the ‘salt water’ from the ‘sweet, and the Dutch seaside. She insisted on buying me lunch and we talked about everything from the human need for connection, to sustainable

energy, to why Dutchies are so obsessed with salty licorice!

And neither of us had done that before. I’d certainly never discovered a second grandmoth-er on a bus, and she’d never offered to show a random girl with an Aussie twang around.

It felt a little kooky, but we both said ‘yes’ to it, and we were glad we did. It was a sweet, comfortable connection born out of mutual openness. And, for those few hours, I stopped feeling like a stranger in a foreign land, and I just felt at home. Home in humanity, home in the knowing and experience that I am cared about and looked out for, wherever I am. And, on that day, Love sent me that reminder in the form of a trilingual, septuagenarian Dutch lady who was willing to follow her inner ‘yes’ and invite me in to her world. Amen.

RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW

There is nothing you have to do, no-where you need to be. Life right now is providing you with the perfect tools to experience and

express the divine which lives within. Many look at what lies before them as obstacles and roadblocks to their happiness and therefore are forever trying to escape the present moment, with the belief that somewhere over my obstacles and on the other side of these roadblocks my happiness resides. What rests before you right now is the key to your happiness, life is presenting you with exactly what you need to experience and express who you truly are. once you begin to live your life from this place of no resistance and see all moments placed before you, for you. your life will change instantly.you’ll begin to see life as the most precious gift of all. It’s as though an orchestra is playing with you, for you, it’s a truly magical experience and is our natural state of being. your story will tell you that you’re a victim that life is unfair and that life’s against you. This is your story, beneath the story is your orchestra, ready to play with you for you, right now. your orchestra plays the most beautiful of songs, melodies that flow in sync with life, rhythms and harmonies full of Joy, Happiness, Wisdom, Compassion, Truth, Love and light. This my friends is who you truly are, you are those beautiful rhythms with the stunning harmonies it’s just you’ve forgot. your true sound has been lost in the jungle of your story, dominated by the past and the future, lost in the midst of the obstacles and roadblocks. Go forward now into life seeing all as an opportunity to play your grandest song yet, to Be and express who you truly are. I invite you now to step into life and let the essence of the divine flow through and around you, right here, right now.

Planetary Influencesfor September, OCTOBER & nOVEMBER 2015

SeptemberSeptember can bring one of two things...you may feel there is no clear pathway ahead of you, someone may be totally confusing you with deception, you’re disillusioned, you are tired and your ego is being challenged. Bide your time and whatever you do “don’t point your finger”!Relationships are important at this time...either through commitment or finishing it...business discussions and signing business contracts are important, your self confidence is strong and you take on your new goals with enthusiasm. Feeling optimistic just be careful NoT to go overboard as you have an opportunity to consolidate and increase your good fortune with gusto.

Tensions arise between the practicalities of life and your dreams, struggling with how to fix it. Asking for professional help can help you to heal any past issues giving you the guidance to resolve these emotions with a clear mind and insight. Shouldering old responsibilities and taking away any restless feelings can help you to get your projects off the ground with patience and optimism, leaving your topsy turvy world behind you.
