Tuning into Love - 022 'It's certainly OK to freak out now and again...'

...especially if you are able to take perspective of the situation by recognising your behaviour as 'freaking out'.

It's not as if this world we live in doesn't give us ample opportunities to be completely shocked, amazed, dazed and confused at any moment during a day or a week or a month. By the end of the year we may truthfully and justifiably be asking "Has the whole world gone insane?", to which will come the hearty reply, "Yes!-we-are-all-utterly-mad!!"

Losing control can sometimes be cathartic. It can establish a connection to behavioural patterns from our parents, guardians or other authority figures from our childhood, and help us acknowledge a 'learned response' that may or may not be beneficial. Consider how the loss of control made you feel. Did it encourage an energy flow that felt like 'release' or 'aggression'? If it was the latter then of course its time to identify another way of handling stressful situations, or avoiding them altogether....

If it was a 'release' that you received then perhaps observe whether you are 'holding on too tight' to the control of a situation. Maybe there is a need for you to be able to loosen your grip, take a step back and survey what's going on, instead of trying to negotiate every single twist and turn of action taking place.

"I tune into Love by letting go and trusting the flow of my Life"
"I consent to letting others live their own lives"
"I always send Love out into the world and receive it back"

Take the time to apologise or explain yourself if you need to. Don't carry around any guilt about exploding emotionally,...we are all living in times of trial, but also, don't expect other people to put up with repeated displays of excessive emotional tides. Its just not fair to you or them.  
Tune in to the Love that surrounds you. 
Find the connections that bring you back to the best person you are, and then give 'em a big hug. You deserve it ;)

Ample quantities of Rescue Remedy also help immensely...

Cleanse, Clear and Revitalise!

If you are out and about socialising, or providing your own home as a setting for celebrations this holiday season, you are going to need a few quick ways of replenishing your physical and energetic body.

Cleansing the body of Impurities quickly can be done with a quick juice drink made from Cucumber, Celery, Watermelon and Ginger. I love this because its very very FRESH and zingy tasting! Plus, the Cucumber and Watermelon will help the ol' kidneys out a bit which may be getting a bit of a workout if you're drinking alcohol or sugary, colour laden soft drinks too.

Revitalising your energy is as easy as using fresh Mint, Basil and Parsley. These beautiful herbs are high in Vitamin C which will encourage a healthy immune system, and they are also stimulating, so may help you if you've been driving a long way, in company of many people, or working hard being 'the host with the most'. I personally grab a handful of each of these herbs, rip them up and brew them into a strong herbal infusion with 2 cups of boiling water. Strained into a small shot glass or Chinese teacup, left to cool just a bit and sipped slowly, this brew can clear brainfog, and relieve any stress headaches brought on by noise or activity.

Clear your energy in a flash using Lemon or Lime and Water! If you need to 'get clear' quickly, take a half slice of fresh lemon or lime and bite the flesh out of it, knocking back a glass of water straight after. Then put a tiny amount of rock salt on your hand and lick it off. Repeat the whole thing at least three times and you will find you feel extremely refreshed and very awake. Lemon is very stimulating and Lime is used to relieve headaches too. Natural Salt can replenish minerals that are being lost through sweat and digestion.

The key thing in all of these is the hydration of the body. Giving the body back the water that it is using up to detoxify itself, will help you maintain a better level of energy...all round.

Happy Celebrating everyone :)

Tuning into Love 021 - 'The view from up here'

At times life can bring us some enormous challenges. At times, we can feel completely overwhelmed with obligation, commitments and responsibilities. And at times our Perspective is the thing that is ultimately challenged. Through all of these things we can remember that those times are but 'episodes' in our normal life...and that drama and trauma, sadness and grief are fleeting occurrences.

You know when someone says 'I fell into Depression' or 'I feel really down'? They are literally describing their Energy Signature and what their aura, or energetic vibration, is going through. Personal energy sinks when we are faced with problems and obstacles, difficult situations or people, its just what happens. The actual event or person or place is dragging on our energy, and it weighs us down, below our normal 'vantage point' of contemplation and examination of any situation. When we are 'down' we can never see the whole picture, we become enclosed in the drama or sadness of the occurrence taking place.

When we exhibit recovery a person may say 'I feel on top of the world now!' or 'I feel like a weight has been lifted from me'. The sensation can be one of immense relief and sometimes a physical 'lightening' or floating feeling comes over us. It's Happiness, Peace, Gratitude...all of those things wrapped up and woven into a vibration that is what Life is meant to be. The solution to unhappiness in any form is gaining the best vantage point for your personal perspective. Training your Mind to accept the truth of a situation, instead of the panic story it can sometimes tell you, can be one of the most empowering experiences you can achieve in human form!

Imagine walking down a long hallway in darkness, and then finding the light switch. You look back at all the perceived obstacles you thought were there, all the fears of tripping over something in the dark, or being attacked by some invisible assailant, only to see the way was all clear anyway, and you didn't have anything to fear in the first place. Perception is Everything ;)

I know from personal experience that when we are 'in a ditch' we don't see right. The clarity of our thoughts is skewed, our Heart is bruised, our Mind panics. I spent episodes of Life not so much in a 'hole', but more like I spent years mining through solid rock, not seeing that the tunnel I was creating was not a solution, it wasn't a 'way out' of the mess I was in; it was forward in some respects, but it wasn't easy, it wasn't pleasant, and it didn't make me happy...it just exhausted me more and more as I dug further and further under the mountain. Getting out of it took a decision that my previous choices were incorrect. I had to backtrack and find where I'd taken a wrong turn,.... and then it appeared. The Way Out. And it was upwards. Back on the surface the view cleared, a way appeared, I continued climbing up, up, up. I have a clear vision of me climbing trees and viewing the world as if I was perched high above the goings on below me. Confident that the view from here was the real deal.
.
Solstice is a time of reflection and also a time of planning. Its a 'pivot point' for our planet, and we can use it's Energy Signature to gain better perspective on any of our perceived current challenges.

"I tune into Love with contemplation on Gratitude"
"I know that only Happiness is enduring"
"I am strong, loved, and protected always"

Beautiful Solstice Blessings of Lightness and Clarity for all who are feeling a little overwhelmed at this time of year. Time passes forward for us in this dimension,and we can rely on it to fade pain into the Past, bring in new energy, new hope, new Life and new connections to Love in many forms.

Light and Peace
Jannette :)

Feeling the heat?

Are you feeling the heat and humidity at this time of year? Pressured for Time?

Preparations for celebrations can leave us footsore and energy depleted, so I've made up a natural and organic solution in the form of a cooling foot scrub using Certified Organic Ingredients!

This little jar of fantasticness is the newest product in the range of Safe Space Solutions from HolisticTherapyConnections.com.

Spearmint & Vanilla Scrub us made using Oatmeal, Salt, Virgin Coconut Oil and of course, Spearmint Essential Oil with Vanilla Oleoresin in a Gem Essence.

'A cooling and softening blend of nourishing oatmeal and coconut oil to relieve tired and sore feet, or to refresh your energy anytime.

Spearmint Essential Oil is refreshing and stimulating, used to promote blood flow and cool the skin. Vanilla is soothing and calming, working well with the Oatmeal and Coconut Oil to nourish and rejuvenate the skin. The Salt is to help draw out toxins and purify energy working in tandem with the Gem Essence of Citrine on Elestial Quartz with Black Tourmaline. Black Tourmaline is used to ground energy and absorb negativity; Citrine transmutes negativity and Elestial Quartz amplifies high quality vibrational energy promoting feelings of calm and wellness.

(Ingredients: *Oatmeal, Salt, *Virgin cold-pressed Coconut Oil, *Spearmint Essential Oil and Vanilla Oleoresin in Gem Essence of Citrine on Elestial Quartz with Black Tourmaline.

Certified Organic Ingredients*)

Directions: Wet your feet and lower legs in a tub of tepid water and rub a small amount (approx. a half teaspoon) onto each foot. Work the blend up the calf in long, downward strokes, massaging the lower leg towards the foot. With fingertips, make small circular motions around the ankle and foot. Using your knuckles on the sole of the foot in firm circular motions stimulates energy flow and releases toxins. Repeat on the other leg and foot. Rinse off with tepid water and pat dry.'

Its only $12.50 for a 60ml jar, which is approximately 6 or more applications per jar... :)

Another cooling helper is the new Midsummer Room & Body Mist also in the Safe Space Solutions range. All mists have been reduced from $24.95 to the new price of only $17.50 each! Cool hey? :)

Packaged in this glorious green bottle, Midsummer would make a lovely gift too.

Tuning into Love - 020 'Listening to the Light'

One of the most amazing things I've read in the last 5 years was a paper published about the human brain, and how light is created from the tiny electrical charges that come from minute hairs (cilia) in the canals of our brains. 'Mindblowing' stuff for sure. The paper was called 'The Divine Light of Consciousness' and apart from a heap of heavy bioscience references that went way beyond my attention, it described the rush of brain fluid through these canals that moved the cilia and created an electrical charge, which is Light.  The paper went on to discuss that as Light carries with it a frequency, these movements of cilia could in actuality be messages in a language only the brain understands. The question of the whole paper seemed to be whether we could equate these light frequencies to messages from the God Mind. I loved it.

I loved it because I often find myself with a certain phrase or word running through my Mind for a set of time. Could be days, or hours, could be a whole month or more; and I smile at the correlation it usually has to world events or momentous events in my own life. (I've really got to start recording this more directly when it occurs...) Could this be a set of Divine Messages sent to guide or reassure me in this Life? I like to think so.

"I tune into and accept Divine Love's assistance"
"I know I am deeply cared for"

This last month has been all about 'propulsion'. Specifically the words 'hydraulic' and 'pneumatic'. Water and Air, very elemental. I love the idea that things are being moved with that dramatic force associated with hydraulics and pneumatics, where the ability of humans is enhanced by the simple use of these available resources. That soft 'shhhhhh' of air or 'whooosh' of water and the immense weight it can help us lift and move. Feel it too? :)

Tuning into Love - 019 'Shine like a Diamond'

It only takes one bout of 'the lurgy' to make me appreciate my general good to great health all the more. This last week I've nursed my three babies through a nasty set of high temperatures, snuffles, coughs, chills and the rest, till finally on the weekend I went down with the same thing. Perfect Timing of course, as my partner was home and could take care of them and me. (he was so pleased to go back to work on Monday, I can tell you)

We are all on the mend now, thanks to a weaving of therapies like Homeopathy (thanks to my beautiful friend Butterfly), Crystal Therapy (Oh how I LOVE and appreciate Black Tourmaline and Clear Quartz), Aromatherapy (Yay for Eucalyptus, Cedarwood and Lavender mixes!), Hydration Therapy, Massage (Sinus massage and Lymph massage help incredibly well), Yogic Breathing exercises, heaps of nutritious superfood smoothies, the blessing of having Holy Basil growing plentifully and mixing it with pure, natural honey, and finally, the 'lifesaver', Sea Salt.

When a body is depleted of nutrients because its run down, exhausted or over stressed, it is open to infections, and this can lead to ill-health. Restoring this nutrient balance is essential for a quick and full recovery. I had been able to just click into gear with all of the therapies I've mentioned but strangely, I'd not given myself the Sea Salt. Come to the 2nd day of being 'ill', and I'd just had enough. (I do not know HOW I got through adolescence let alone childhood with the relentless barrage of sickness I experienced almost on a monthly basis)

Another dose of Rescue Remedy and more water, and while it calmed me I wanted to be 'well'. I was lying there and suddenly I noticed that the thing MOST annoying me was my 'lack of connection', my mojo was running low! I felt 'unaware'. My consciousness seemed drastically impaired and as I drifted off into a daydream I had a vision of blue crystalline structures, washing into my Mind. 'Sploooshy' waves of 'ahhhhh'. Then, 'ping!', I remembered the salt.

Over the next few hours each time I had my Holy Basil leaves and honey I also gave myself a pinch of ground up Celtic Sea Salt. Its got the highest content of minerals of all the sea salts. Within two hours I'd got a huge turnaround. This was about 3 or 4 doses of salt, taken with the other things and lots of water too...got to have water to help the body assimilate it all. I sat down to meditate/rest/re-align and had a beautiful vision of my body radiating Light from a myriad of pinpoints. As if all the Meridian junctions were lighting up!

''I tune into Love by nourishing my Self''
''I access infinite Solutions with Perfect Ease''


Our Inner Light of Knowledge is a powerful teacher. It stores all that information we have accummulated and  waits for you to connect in and access it. Crystals are used in computers to store just a fraction of what the  Mind can retain, so imagine how many 'crystals' there are inside you now! Shine like a Diamond? More like 'Blaze like the Sun'! :)) ''Flame ON!!'' :))

Tuning into Love - 018 'The Inclusion of Angels'

Some years ago I began to come out of a phase of denying myself assistance. I had been through a period of life where the negative effects of 'trying to do it all myself' were extremely evident, and I began to see that there was a heap of help out there for me to access.

One of the forms this help came in was the choice to include Angels back into my life.

My upbringing in a strict religious family had left me somewhat 'bruised' when it came to the more spiritual beings that lend us their energy. I'd been really happy communing with plants, flowers, trees (oh I love talking to TREES!), rocks, gems and the like, but then the leap I had to make with opening up to Celestial help seemed enormous. Shouldn't have been obviously, but for me, where I was 'then', it was.

During an exercise at my Holistic Feng Shui course, we were asked to simply step back and 'read' a person's energy field,...just to see if anything came up, popped in to say hello or reveal itself. I call this 'pinging' now...my special term for when the unseen is sending messages ;] The session was a revelation for me. I saw Angels. I saw ANGELS. Their Light was bright, their shape distinct and their message very, very clear. They were there, I could see them, and from now on they were going to converse.

So since then I've noticed lots of 'angelic energy' enter my life. My next daughter was named Angelina, completely not planned, but there you go... ;} I had angels come in via presents, books, pictures, people, you name it. One beautiful thing happened, ... I 'met' a good friend over the internet who is in my 'circle' of friends, and she is an Angel Intuitive. The peaceful and nourishing friendship has been an absolute life saver at times over the last three years, with life taking unexpected turns. Challenge,Solution, Growth, Progression, Expansion.

The first Christmas card of the season...we have to make do with these instead of snowflakes... ;]

This one is from my beautiful healing friend Butterfly Tara of ChaiBliss.com

Think about inviting in more angelic energy into your life and see what happens. They seem to be THE agents of Synchronicity, knowing what we need when we need it, assisting with the emergencies we perceive and popping in to say hello just when we didn't expect it. They bring with them great energy, so I'm never bothered by the spontaneous company :))

''I am worthy of being assisted, loved and appreciated''
''I tune into Love by inviting assistance in all areas of my Life''

Organising Time and Space

Ah the eternal task...and yet the galaxy we live in seems to have this all sorted out. Everything moving in its unique and purposeful sequence; orbit, spin, revolution and expansion, contraction and implosion....just like our own lives and goings on, but on a huge and magnificent scale.

How to make sense of it all? The ancient Chinese people mapped energy influences in Time and Space, and recorded their findings. These were then passed on, and down the ages commentary was added, theory developed, practical application as well. This is known as Feng Shui...a way of saying 'making sense of Time and Space'. Wouldn't it be good if the basics and more heavy theory could be collated and combined with some modern aspects of energy maintenance from other cultural traditions, so that it would be contemporary, but also give the respect required to this ancient and wondrous study?

The Annual Influences Guide is something I've been doing for five years now, and its development has been client driven, with the inclusion of a 14month calender in this issue for the first time. This way you can have a quick 'at-a-glance' reference to any potential areas to keep quiet, and the other ones to enhance, and most importantly when these influences are most potent.

Energy moves through the spaces we inhabit, and correctly maintaining our spaces gives us organisation, peace, health, great Chi flow, and hopefully success in our endeavours because they won't be hampered by low level energy emanating from disorganisation and the confusion that it can bring. We know we can't make the best choices and decisions if our information is being hampered by confusion and clutter.

Similarly, energy moves through Time and just like the seasons have different energy, so do whole periods of time. They exhibit and 'Energy Signature'. Flying Stars Feng Shui maps these energy periods which are based on the time keeper of our galaxy...the Earth's orbit around our Sun.

If you'd like to join me for the second of three presentation dates in Queensland all you have to do is order the Annual Influences Guide and Calendar 2011 from my website, and book in fast as the gatherings are kept small.

Gatherings are kept small so that I (that's me on the left near the Bagua diagram) can sit down with each attendee and offer insight using their floorplan and the Annual Influences. This personal attention is also a way of connecting and providing a space for specific questions to be answered. Other attendees can observe each assessment to help further  knowledge of Flying Stars interpretation....

You can always email me with a question or query if you can't make one of the presentation dates. Using the AIG 2011 on your own is easy as it contains LOTS of explanations, and you can always use this blog as a reference for other aspects of Feng Shui and Energy Signatures. You can order the AIG 2011 online at my website here.

Many Blessings

PS: if you've ordered the guide but not sent through payment, I have only two printed copies left now. It will be about a fortnight before I can get anymore professional copies printed out...you can only book a place at one of the free presentations after your payment has been made. Sorry...they are just filling up fast and it is 'first in best dressed'.

Second Presentation date is 30th January at Redcliffe, North of Brisbane.
Third Presentation date is 6th February at Labrador, on the Gold Coast.
Address details are given closer to the presentation date as these are private residences.

Forecast for December 2010 - Flying Stars Feng Shui

So you want to know where the best spot is for a Holiday Season gathering/celebration? Choose the Centre, SE or East area of your property or building to gain the best support for happy events. Most of the other sectors have something going on that could cause an upset of some kind.

For example:
The NW Progression or Travel and Helpful People sector has the Monthly Star 2 visiting and being nourished by the Annual Star 9. This is the Earth element receiving energy from the Fire element and can lead to indigestion, heartburn, and possibly food poisoning if there is any low level energy around.
Tip: Use representations of Metal to drain the Earth energy.

Whereas.... holding a gathering in the SE Abundance/Wealth and Growth sector has that gentle energy of 'having it all' along with the combination of 9,7, which is The Angel of Vivacity and Vigour teaming up with the energy of Speech. This is a really social energy combination.
Tip:  Support with Fire and Wood representations...Red and Green...how appropriate :))

Please don't enter into contracts or obligatory 'agreements' of any kind this month if you have an office or front door/entrance door or if you are sleeping in the South. 5, 3 can mean that all forms of contracts, competition etc..have the potential to carry unfortunate outcomes.
Tip: If you have to sign something, take your time to read, read, read and check up on anything that sends out a warning message. Be civil, be diplomatic, be patient.Use The Sound of Metal and Metal in Shape and Colour.

7,5 in the SW Connections/Relationships area can mean problems for the teeth and mouth, so again, not a great area for a celebratory dinner...it can also indicate issues with low level speech, so there could be major misunderstandings, sarcastic or derogatory speech potentials.
Tip: Cure with The Sound of Metal and Water in Shape and Colour only. No running water.

The NW Contemplation/Knowledge and Self Cultivation sector is visited by the Star 4 Passions energy, which may make it difficult to keep your Mind from wandering towards all the things you'd really rather be doing. It will be difficult for you if this is your office, especially if your work is not your true passion. If it is, well, you may feel like you're on a wave. Annual Star 2 is here so it is the area you should have set up the Salt Water Cure for this year. It will help to keep the energy here at a good high level. Low level energy with a 2,4 combination may manifest as injuries to the elbows and hips, a kind of 'clutzville' episode that leaves you feeling dreadfully unco-ordinated.
Tip: Remedy with the Salt Water Cure and clear away any low level energy sources like broken objects etc. Perform repairs and maintenance with some Space Clearing here to enhance the best possibilities of this combination.

The North has this somewhat tricky combination of 6, 4 which can lead to problems with Authority being undermined and morale issues within workplace teams. Not a great spot for the office party...
Tip: Remedy with Fire and Water representations.

West has this excellent energy for business, the entrepreneurial skill and ambitious nature sitting in the Creation/Creativity and Children sector. Great for anyone working over the holiday season or conjuring up the most fabulous plans for 2011. Not so good for the family home where this combination of 3,1 can bring a little conflict, arguing, fighting etc usually with one party desperate to make their point the most important point to express. It becomes a battle of 'who will have the last word'. Ugh!
Tip: Improve with Pale Fire representations.

6,8 in the East is an excellent spot for a gathering, especially a family one as this IS the Family and Health/Preparation sector. 6 is Authority and Leadership being supported by The Angel of Wealth and Happiness....says it all...
Tip: Enhance with representations of Earth and Fire. A bowl of gemstones in Fire and Earth colours works well.

Finally, the Stability sector of the Centre enjoys the combination of two Angel numbers; The Star 1 Angel of Sheng Chi (high level energy) and The Star 8 Angel of Wealth and Happiness. These two get together to provide a lively exchange of ideas within a group. It can be a very satisfying social occasion with Star 1 and 8 showing off their very best manifestations.
Tip: Enhance with representations of Earth and Metal. Yellows, Browns, Squares and Cubic shapes, with Gold, Silver, White, Irridescents and Globular, Rounded and Curved shapes. Mix and match the two shape and colour options and have a go at mixing your elementals and see what you can come up with ;)

Have a Beautiful Holiday Season and enjoy time with those you love, and remember to send Light and Love to those who need it. By expanding our Light it shines so much brighter everywhere.

Love Grows

Many Blessings

Tuning into Love - 018 'Blood so thick with Magic, it congeals...'

Ooooh, spooky title ;} but seriously,....you know that feeling at Full Moon? That awareness that every cell is pumped full to the brim and without letting that energy course through you it can make you feel kind of sleepy and sated...like a plum pie full of brandy, bloated with richness, sticky and congealing in its own sweet juices.

'Moon-rise in Winter' by Charlotte Tibbs

I think of the millions of people all over the planet, who at Full Moon lift their eyes upward and marvel at this luminous beauty in the sky,...just connecting into that wondrous feeling is exquisite. I need no cauldron :), no ritual fire (however, that is a good way of honouring our place here in the galaxy) to express my love for being here to witness this beautiful display each and every month. Whatever is happening in my life, whatever disaster I'm made aware of, or whatever gorgeous thing I've been told,...it can all be washed in with the fabric of existence each month with a little designed moon-gazing therapy.

"I tune into Love with quiet moments to honour the passage of Time"
"I tune into Love by connecting to the galaxy above me"

Love is often our feeling of wonder, of connection. It can be the romantic stirrings of things unknown, or the heartfelt joy in understanding there are magnificent forces at work to keep life on this planet available to us, and that can bring current struggles or woes into immediate clarification of perspective. Correct Perspective completely rocks... :)

Tuning into Love - 017 'Waking to Birdsong'

Mornings should be beautiful, and the other day I woke up just after dawn and felt 'awake' and 'here', and then I heard what had woken me up...the call of birds outside. The gentle piping of birds greeting each other and greeting the new day, it just filled me with gratitude for living in a spot of the world where I couldn't hear the roar of engines, but I was witnessing this beautiful chorus of natural sounds.

Later on that day I had another visit from bird friends in the courtyard. A cheeky and lusty Wagtail wren was showing off his shiny black tail feathers and whippling and warbling away to a little brown wren nearby...she was pretty impressed too I could tell. Well who couldn't be really... They jumped and twittered around each other, him shaking his tail feathers at her in a "hey baby, look at my SHINY black feathaaaahs.." kind of way. So cute to witness this, and then they flitted off together, him shouting out his 'chit chit chitter' delight at having looked so marvelous that he had a groupie following him now ;]

http://www.juliusbergh.com/cocky/ww.html

Ah Love....aint it grand.


"I tune into Love through the wonders of the natural world around me"
"I tune into Love by noticing Beauty all around me" 


'Tuning into Love' is being a wonderful expression of what I find in my life that makes me stop and glow from my heart. Love is the highest vibrational energy, and I hope I am inspiring you to take moments in your own lives to just 'notice' what you love, even the tiniest things :) Tuning into the vibration of Love can ease stress, lower your blood pressure, improve your outlook and even relieve pain. Give it a go next time you find yourself a quiet moment, ... or a noisy one :) maybe it will be more valuable that way ;)

Love and Blessings

Tuning into Love - 016 'Communing with Plants'

I've been so busy lately doing lots of things for the Annual Influences Guide 2011, working with another writer to prepare his manuscript, formatting and editing...all this communication to and from the ethers, and other people, with thoughts and feelings and words too, written and spoken...that to be honest, I'd felt a little 'spent'. It reminded me of how I'm getting through all of this, and its simply be reconnecting to Nature each day. One of my favourite and I feel 'most special' ways of connecting with Nature is to commune with the plants...any plant will do, I'm not terribly fussy at all.

In a recent email to one of my sisters I wrote to her about how I find certain plants communicate differently, and she wrote back excitedly saying "How long have you known how to do this with plants!?" and me thinking (yes, naive, of course) 'Doesn't everybody do this?'. So yes. I know that plants communicate differently.

Angelina Petal singing to the plants along the pathway...she often stops for 'no apparent reason' to talk to a plant or a flower. Somehow I think she knows how to talk to plants too...and probably receive the messages back as well! :)

Some are very 'vocal', that is they like sound waves, and appreciate us speaking out loud to them (tomatoes, beans, sweetpeas, Banksia, etc). Some are more Scorpionic and appreciate the sweet soft shadowy feeling of telepathic speaking...softly again of course.(Holy Basil, Lettuce, Bamboo, Wattle and Eucalyptus) Others need a quick-step kind of 'here are my thoughts NOW' telepathy (very 'efficient' plants these ones, like Rosemary...she just likes you to tell her what it is you need...and of course Thyme, like a devout secretary, just taking the notes and getting you what you need...). Some are tactile, and appreciate the physical connection so they can bring physical/emotional/mental/spiritual aspects as an 'all in one package' of message (Oak, Grasses, Cherry, Ghost Gum, Clover). Some special plants just want Heart energy, they want to know your feelings, but just by you feeling them yourself; they'll pick up and decipher your vibration and return what you need, or mirror you if the vibration is 'high'. Rose is like this and Geranium too...however Geranium is vastly 'brighter' in personality, where as Rose is like a brain surgeon, very precise and delicate.

This may explain a few things:
I've always loved Ivy (or most vines actually) because of its ability to be both soft and caressing (like the tendrils it grows to hook onto just about any surface) and conversely because its strong and vigorous, like the growth spurts it has, its endurance in seemingly 'harsh' circumstances where it is probably the most beautiful thing growing. Its also a great 'thinker' plant. The curly tendrils remind me of Thoughts, quietly and softly finding their way through the myriad of nerve endings, delivering information here and there...The 'mass' of plant that grows like Memory, the conglomerate recollection of 'life so far', and all that it holds, and has potential for. The slightest breeze can set the whole thing shivering and responding.

This connection reminds me that there are messages and information available to me in many forms, and to not lose sight of the vast array of solutions just waiting to be discovered. All I have to do is communicate.

"I tune into Love through connections to Nature"
"I tune into Love by honouring my abilities"

If you could tell me what your favourite plant is, what would you say you 'get' from having that plant around you or being near it? Other than the visual appreciation of it or its aroma...what is its Energy Signature? HOW does it make you FEEL? :)

Love and Blessings

Forecast for November 2010

There are some 'very interesting things' happening energetically this November, as the Star 8 helps out in two areas to calm and harmonize both the Star 2 and 5, that may help us enjoy a majority 'respite' from these potentially problematic influences. (see the bottom of the page for information about the upcoming release of the AIG 2011)

Centre - 8,2 can bring a calm and receptive vibe to buildings where the centre areas are open and spacious. Centre represents our own Stability in Life and our sense of Groundedness. This combination can indicate helpful situations if you are involved in a property purchase or renovation. (Wealth influence with Accumulation influence both associated with Earth) Star 2 is the Mother persona and an Earth element, just like Star 8 which is also the Angel of Wealth and Happiness....so its a good combination for Mother Earth.
Tip: Place a symbolic representation of Mother Earth, or place an earth coloured rug (or other soft furnishing item) in this area.

SW - 5,8 helps to calm the problematic 5 Star that may have been bringing unwanted change or confusion into our Communications this year. It is the Relationships area of the Bagua, so its a welcome relief for anyone who has been sleeping in the SW or who has a busy doorway in the SW.
Tip: A sweetly chiming clock, or soft, pleasant piano music in this area this month will still help to soothe the Star 5 but invite in the beautiful Star 8 energy.

West - The Creative West gets a boost of Passionate Inspiration from the 1,4 influences! Star 1 invites Ideas, Expression and Wisdom while Star 4 works on bringing your Passions to the surface, be they Romantic or Academic.
Tip: Use a floatbowl filled with pale fire coloured candles or flowers, or both.

NW - 9,3 is the kind of influence that can bring intensive Clarity to any situations that surround Commerce. Star 9 is the Future Wealth Star, and associated with Clarity and Beauty, while Star 3 is the Competitive influence. The great thing about this combo is that they energetically match as Star 9's Fire is 'fed' by the Star 3 Wood. Nice...
Tip: Use up this Star 3 influence (most probably arriving as ambitious thoughts, plans etc) by having a pad and pen in the NW Progression area to write down immediately those grand ideas that pop in throughout the month!

North - 4,7 comes to activate that expression of Passion via speech. You may find yourself clapping on about all the things you love so much, and if it happily involves your work or Vocation, then this may be a good thing. Naturally, the Metal energy of Star 7 will dominate or 'attack' the Wood energy of Star 4, so be aware of 'too much talk' wasting time and energy that could be directed beneficially.
Remedy: Use Water in Shape and Colour to distract the Metal Star 7 (as it naturally wants to nourish Water and will be weakened with this elemental balancing), and also use beautiful symbolism of your true Passions to align with the highest vibration of Star 4.

South - 3,6 and here is the same kind of combination with a Metal energy (Star 6) dominating a Wood energy (Star 3). It indicates Competition controlled by Authority, and as it is manifesting in the Reputation/Perception sector it can mean a month where it is best to be observant, diplomatic and obedient towards those in 'higher places'. As Star 3 is also associated with all things contractual it is a good idea to re-check paperwork that is being submitted to an Authority figures or units. Railing against Authority this month will possibly wreck the way someone perceives you, and so your perception of the situation must be balanced and crystal clear.
Tip: Wear or carry some Clear Quartz this month especially if your office or house front door is in the South. Keep any ambitious plans in the planning stage and don't implement anything too competitive this month. You'd just be sailing into the wind, so conserve energy, and move when the influences favour success...

SE - 7,1 is an influence traditionally known as 'Animal Bites' :)) The association is with Star 1's Danger aspect, and that Star 7 is related to the Teeth and Mouth...therefore 'dangerous teeth' which is in most cases animal bites or stings. I've had a fair few funny observations with this particular influence so do be careful ;) It can't be underestimated that this is manifesting in the SE Growth/Wealth and Abundance area. Be Alert regarding scams that may drain your time, energy and money.On a flipside, Star 1 is of course the Wisdom and Ideas influence teaming up with the Star 7's chatty energy. Its a great combination for divination, oracle cards, metaphysical conversations of all sorts and generally that 'bubble' of unexpected wisdom popping into a conversation...usually involving a young child.
Tip: Allow conversations to 'run', and remain calm when you feel uncomfortable about any particular subject topic. Call in Angelic help (Star 1 is The Angel of Sheng Chi after all) and be open to hearing Wisdom from an unexpected source.

East - 9,6 combination will bring in some Beauty to Family and Health issues this month. A breakthrough regarding a health condition? Some Clarity about a contentious situation in the family? This is the area of Preparation and this year we've been hosting the Authority and Leadership Star 6 here. With the visiting Star 9 offering some beautiful 'future thought' energy this month it is an opportunity to align the sector's energy of 'starting' and preparing.
Tip: 'Begin Anew' might be a good thought path to hold, or the affirmation 'I begin a new path of life with Clear intentions' throughout the month.

NE - 5,2 may see the Contemplation sector being distracted by conflicting thoughts or pesky arguments. Keep this area très quiet this month. Find another place to meditate (I'd pick the Centre) and if problems arise with a course or a subject you're studying, see if you can back off and reschedule with immense grace. Don't be difficult with your Self either. This sector is all about our 'inner knowing' so there may be a tendency to second guess or doubt you intuition... take a step back, stop and rest and review.
Remedy: Lots of Metal representation. Sound, Shape and Colour. Piano, Metal Wind Chimes, Chiming Clock, Gongs, Bells on doorknobs, Rounded - Curved - Globular - Fecund objects in Gold, Silver, White, Pearlescence and Iridescence. (Dragon Wings and Mother of Pearl) Remove objects that are overtly Fire, and limit the use of this area if at all possible.

Beautiful Blessings for November

Tuning into Love - 015 'Making Space'

I often sit and wonder how I got to be a mother of three. I often sit and wonder how I got these five seconds free to sit and wonder about how I got to be a mother of three!....and yet within it all is the beauty of finding a 'space' to enjoy a moment of 'wonder'.

The work I do as a Holistic Therapist brings with it a broad spectrum of experiences, and I meet a wide range of people too which is I feel a big reason for why I continue to do what I do. My work involves helping people get what they 'want' out of life. Maybe its been a pregnancy, maybe a romance, or just to have more time and less worries, but it has all been about 'making spaces' for that energy. The invitation has to be sent out there with the integrity of intention that you'll be available and provide a space for that energy to arrive and visit and become part of your life. Without that intention your 'wanting' just sits inside you, as a unfulfilled desire, and the wanting may manifest other things that you didn't expect, ie: wanting to be 'rich and successful' without assigning the time to complete tasks will just end in exhaustion and overwhelm.

But how does 'making spaces' work? Below is a very brief summary of some of the suggestions I've made that have brought successful outcomes for clients (and me too):

• When desiring a pregnancy focus on the new life you will produce, the love you will show to, and share with, the child, and the involvement of your circle of friends and family with that energy of the child to be. Make a space in your schedules to dedicate to the new life you wish to include in your own. This symbolic gesture will have profound effect on how you view your life...as sometimes we are so busy 'getting ready to be parents' that we lose sight of the most important thing our children will want...our time.We work, save, work, pay off debts, work, socialise, work. And then we wonder why we won't conceive? or why a pregnancy fails to take...Even if you have experienced the heartache of that loss you can mend and repair the energy surrounding you and your partner. Spend time doing the kinds of things you feel a child would enjoy. Gardening, walking, playing, talking, reading, singing, dancing, daydreaming...all the stuff you really want to do yourself ;)

• When desiring romance, fill your heart with Love for someone. Imagine the contentment of intimate comfort with a person you trust, and feel the affection for that person grow and bloom within you. Do not request it to be reciprocated yet, just enjoy the beauty of 'feeling love' for someone. Again, make a space in your schedule for the energy of the relationship to be invited in. Give yourself a list of things you would love to do with a friend. Dinner, movies, walks in the park or on the beach, adventure weekends ! who knows where it may lead...

• When desiring a calmer Mind and a reduction in the overwhelm of Life, focus upon the tasks you can do in the next few hours. Nothing more. Make space for one task to be given your full attention...this could just mean you get the washing up done, but it does not matter what the task is, as long as you give it the space in your life and give it your full attention. Imagine yourself walking a stairway and each step represents both a task completed and the attainment of progression towards the goal. And then of course follow through on this by shoving everything else aside and completing one thing. The relief will be a revelation. I feel that physically 'making space' helps enormously with 'work and success' wants. Have a look around at all that you possess right now and figure out just how much you 'have' that you don't even use or want...it put a whole new perspective on feeling 'without' something.

Life is Space and Time, and everything occurs in Perfect Timing and occurs perfectly within the right space to manifest.

"I tune into Love by creating a space for it to sit with me"
"I invite Love into my home, my life and my heart"

Using Botanical Sources for Vitamins and Minerals - Part 2

Modern lifestyles need more nutrients to help modern humans cope with the demands on their energy. What we consume is the key to gaining long term good health, overcoming short term illness and coping with everyday stresses we encounter. Most people will have at one time or another reached for a 'multi-vitamin' to do these things for them, or to assist in overall good health, or because a blood test revealed they were 'low' in a certain vitamin or mineral. Taking in vitamins and minerals as tablets may be beneficial, but there are other parameters to consider.

For example:
Why is your blood testing 'low' in any particular vitamin or mineral? What kind of health issues show up as depleted Iron, Magnesium, Zinc etc...?
What has your recent health 'history' got to tell you about the strength of your immune system?
Are you conscious about what you eat? or do you consume mindlessly?
Are you eating raw food often enough to gain the best possible quality of vitamins or minerals?
What is in your multi-vitamin broad spectrum supplement? Do they contain a colour, or flavour, or preservative?
Where have these minerals and vitamins come from? Are they sourced from animal byproducts?

When you consume nutrients as food you gain so much more because the 'whole food' contains a broad spectrum of constituents, like oils, acids and fibre, that assist you in absorbing those very nutrients. This is how the human body is 'set up' to receive nutrients,...its why our digestive systems are so complex and marvelous.

Getting the best quality food means getting the most nutrient dense food, which is organically grown without pesticides and herbicides, but also with soils that have been cultivated using organic nourishment. I often raise my eyebrows at that constant mainstream 'whine' that certified organic produce costs more,... because it will actually end up saving you money due to the nutrient density of the foods. Vitamin and mineral supplements can be an expensive alternative to just buying good quality food in the first place....and botanical sources are by far the cheapest way to get your nutrients in a way that your body finds easy to absorb and use.

There is one particular mineral that you can consume to help your overall health and have noticeable improvement in just a week or so, and that is Zinc. Zinc is like a 'building block' for cells, and imperative for good cell health, meaning that without it the whole building (our body) falls down. Its found in a variety of foods already covered in Part 1, but here's a list of Zinc rich foods you can eat in your everyday diet.
Pumpkin seed and flesh
Spinach and silverbeet
Asparagus
Peas
Brussel Sprouts
Seeds - Chia, Sunflower and Poppy
Seed and Nut paste - Tahini, ABC spread (almond, brazil and cashew)
Dried fruits - Figs, Currants and Bananas
Fresh fruits - Avocado, Apricots, Dates
Winter fruits - Blackberries and Blueberries
Oats (raw)

The absorption of Zinc can open up a pathway to good health because it assists absorption of other minerals and vitamins. Because it is a key to good cell health it enables the cell to firstly obtain good nutrients, expel waste, and know what to do with the other nutrients in your digestive system. Smart little blighters your cells aren't they? :)

Part 3 will conclude with beneficial oils, acids and probiotics from botanical sources. :)
Blessings

7,3 combinations and being unco-ordinated...generally

In the monthly Flying Stars Forecast for October you will have noticed that the South has a 7,3 combination of influences, which is usually related to the 'loss' of something. 7 is associated with 'loss' and is called the 'Robbery' influence in traditional FS text.

Sometimes a 7 Star influence means people misplace things for the month (one of my sisters did this a few years ago when she had a 7 Monthly Star at her front door, but didn't really 'lose' anything permanently, it was just annoying for her) and the 3 Star influence means they may find that chatter increases with a competitive edge to it...
I get a little 'edgy' when I see a 7 Star in combo with a 3 or a 2, as these are generally unhelpful influences in tandem with the destructive aspect of the 7. When we have a 7,3 the 7 is Metal and wants to 'dominate' the 3 Wood influence. Literally 7 is a potentially destructive energy that if unfavourably activated can 'cut down' Ambitious energy, which is associated with Wood. 3 is also a commerce energy, so it likes to accumulate success in Growth. This is where a lot of the 'loss' interpretation comes from. 7 is called 'Pleasure and Destruction' and 3 is called 'Conflict and Competition'...so you have really 'bolshy' influences.
The 2,7 combo sees the 7 influence being 'nourished' by the Earth influence of the 2. 2 is associated with the gut (Stomach, Abdomen, Spleen) and we now know that there is a 'secondary brain' in the gut which we use to interpret what we consume. 2 is called 'The Sickness Star' because it can manifest ill-health as a message. With this kind of masochistic edge, I dislike having 'sickness and destruction' together...most people would.

7 is associated with the Mouth, Teeth, Thorax and Chest, so its all to do with speech and the production of speech and 'consumption' of information.

'Talking his way out of it...' by

Frits Ahlefeldt 

3 is associated with the Lower Legs, Feet, Throat, Neck and Liver, which is to do with the 'fire' of communication and more importantly the direction of information.

What's happened to me this month is I've got a 'double whammy' of the 7,3 from the South and the 7,2 from the SE combinations due to the Form of the block of units I live in, and the Position of my house as the middle unit. I've had a compulsion to talk, chat, speak, ramble, blabber....etc...so much more than usual...so I've been channeling it into blogging (in case you hadn't noticed) to 'use it up'. However, I've also been having a running problem with injuries to my mouth and feet! One small scar heals only to be replaced the very next day with some bump or bash (kicked a stick out of the way at the park and punctured my skin on the top of my toe)...and then the icing on the cake was a dog nipping my leg yesterday! Yes, right outside in the South sector, right where the 7,3 is doubled up, and the dog ran into the area from the SE...where the 2,7 is for October. I've also got that pesky and uncomfortable Star 5 in an open area to the SW...When something like that happens I go take a look at the floorplan again and have a look at Flying Stars for the month ;)

Basic layout of the block of units showing the Position of my house in the middle of the block...

I can put this down to a few things. One, the 'Water Metal' representation I usually have out here has been moved, and, Two, we've had to store the bins here for a couple of reasons, and...we are due to have them cleaned out thoroughly...so they aren't all sparkly and nice right now. Three, well, my bedroom is in the SE and South, so I'm sleeping on it. Makes you think of that advert from years ago for a dishwashing liquid where the actor playing a Manicurist raves to her client that "you're soaking in it!". Also, we haven't been using the garage door in the SW all year until last week, when the weather got warmer and we started to open it up for airflow. I feel the energy of movement and Human Chi has attracted Star 5 into the house.
My job for tomorrow is...tah-dah!...cleaning bins and putting the Water Metal representation back in place :)

I hope you have a better set of chores on the cards than I do ;)
Many Blessings

Turning that frown upside down...

Have you ever experienced phases where you just can't seem to 'feel good about yourself'? It can feel like your 'looks' have left you. While this can be related physically to hormonal fluctuations, stress, over-work, or ill-health, it sometimes doesn't seem to have a direct reason for manifesting. We may just 'feel ugly', and that's depressing...

Depression, sadness, despondency, Melancholy, etc; all add to the downward droop of our facial muscles, increasing wrinkles, lines and sagging, so its important to feel good again to look good again. A few very simple remedies and techniques will lift your mood and improve the appearance of your face, which will help you enjoy more positive reactions and interactions with the world.

Herbal Remedies for Happiness and Calm

• Make a tea of dried St John's Wort (Hypericum) 3 times a day to alleviate and remove depressive feelings.
• Make a tea (infusion) of Chamomile flowers 3 times a day to induce calm and contented feelings. It also helps you to deal or cope with stressful situations of all kinds.
• Chew 3 or 4 Fennel seeds 3 times a day to increase feelings of courage and bravery. This is also a wonderful digestive system smoother and toner.

Flower Essences for Happiness and Calm

'Crab Apple' from The Encyclopedia of Bach Flower Therapy, Mechtild Scheffer.

• Rescue Remedy is a 5 flower essence mix (similar to Emergency Essence) to restore Balance and Harmony in all situations where the energetic and physical, emotional and spiritual 'body' may be put under any kind of stress. Take 4 to 7 drops as often as you like in a cup of water and sip slowly until Balance is restored.
• Take a course dosage of Crab Apple essence 3 times a day for approximately 2 weeks to release unwanted and unbeneficial Energy Signatures.
• Take a course dosage of Gorse essence 3 times a day for approximately 2 weeks to restore thought patterns that provide Hope and Encouragement.

Simple Meditation Techniques for Restoration and Calm

• Place your palms onto your diaphragm and breathe deeply and slowly for 11 breaths, gathering the energy of the Solar Plexus into your hands. After this, place your palms lightly onto your face so that your fingertips are on your forehead and your little fingers (pinkies) are lightly against the sides of your nose. Breathe again deeply and gently for 11 breaths. This calms internal Chi Flow and restores energy to your facial muscles. It can be a beautifully nourishing exercise to do anytime.
• Use the Reiki 'hands on face' position and administer your Reiki self healing for as long as you want :)
• Do Perineum exercises to re-balance Chi Flow in the body and the internal muscles of the 'core body'. Your Perineum is the strap of muscle between the genitals and the anus, and is directly connected to the core muscles all the way to your throat and tongue. Simply tightening the Perineum for a count of 7, 3 times will bring instant awareness back to the head and strength to the body.

Foods for Restoration and Happiness

• Pomegranate juice or raw fruit is excellent for blood health and is highly antioxidant and high in Vitamin C, which is good for skin complexion and is an immune system supporter too.
• Lime juice in a cup of warm water in the morning (before other food or drink) can lift the mood and help to detoxify the Liver. It will also make the Kidneys work efficiently and thus help to restore your Adrenal gland health. This in turn establishes a more controlled emotional outlook and psychological health improves.

Avoiding foods with processed sugar or flour will help your consciousness develop a more 'connected' aspect, and with this connection comes a lot of positive energy flow.

Blessings for Beautiful Health
