Recuperation

If you have indulged during the festive season, and will again indulge with the New Year's celebrations, there are three little things you should know about :)
Berry Radical, In-Liven Probiotic and Deep Green.

Why?

• Berry Radical can help you feel 'new again' after depleting your energy with late nights of food and drinks with friends and family. Hot or cold (a smoothie of this with crushed ice and chopped banana is just bliss for a worn out bod) Berry Radical is marvelous at upping your energy levels quickly.
• In-Liven can assist to re-balance your insides and restore the ability of your digestive system to work properly.
• Deep Green can help your whole body detoxify naturally, and it also builds healthy blood, assists with good joint mobility and generally will make your eyes sparkle and put a spring in your step. (great with an apple and mint drink!)

Follow this link here to purchase from my Miessence website. TODAY IS THE LAST DAY YOU'LL RECEIVE 20% OFF THIS 3 PACK DEAL!!! Plus you'll also become a Lifestyle Member and can get ALL your orders at 20% off forever, plus member specials too.

Happy New Year!

Flying Stars Forecast for December

Hello and Welcome to the end of another year :) Its December already and we're on the roll up to Solstice, and can you feel the 'pull' going on?! Mon Dieu, its strong. We're in Mercury Retro at the mo'...don't bother buying new communique equipment etc...leave that till after the 14th, save yourself a heap o stress. We're heading into a Flying Stars 'Double Up' month in a few days as well ;}, just to make it all the more 'interesting'. Double Up Month's are intensive energy layering, which means you DO need to know where things are so you can avoid the crap and generate the goods :)) Here goes....

(Please take a look at the blogpage 'How to use the Forecast' so you can utilise the information here easily at your property)

Beginning in the East, the Star 5 can become problematic if you have any sort of low level energy here. It will want to 'change' things anyway, so if your front door is here, then please do 'clean up and cleanse' the whole space inside and out. Repair, beautify, calm it all down and place the Sound of Metal there too. Being the East, problems related to Health, Family and Preparations will be mostly affected.
Tip: Sound of Metal in place? Metal representations in Shape and Colour to soothe and soften this energy. Remove Fire representations if possible. Clear it, Clean it, Calm it.

Moving to the NE and the Contemplation sector is just yummy with the double Wisdom, Ideas and Expression Star 1. Its also associated with Danger as some Expression and Ideas can lead to dangerous situations...keep a diplomatic head on your shoulders and avoid evangelical behaviour which is common with unrestrained Star 1 energy ;) Meditate with immediate results this month.
Tip: Use this area for beautiful moments of repose and be rewarded with insights unexpected...Boost with Metal in Shape and Colour and Watery themes in Shape and Colour too. Think spontaneity of design, depth, and a sonic underwater resonance to thought. 

The SE has strong energy from the Authority Star making its presence felt in all of our Abundance related things. Growth, Wealth, our sense of being provided for etc. However, I'm putting a 'however' in here...because Star 6 is Metal energy in a Wood sector...so there is the potential for this to inhibit 'growth strategies'. Its more useful for 'consolidation of abundance', for recognising the worth of things you already own, for appreciating the possessions you already have...that kind of thing. It carries the energy of the King surveying all that they rule ;)
Tip: Add Metal to support the Star 6, yet tempered with a healthy dose of loving in the things you have. Its a good spot to polish your collection of spoons...etc.

Off to the South and the Reputation sector has a double up of Star 2. Do not hold a Christmas feast here. It can promote food problems, especially if there is any low level energy present of any sort. This is because Star 2 is related to the digestive system and accumulation...also, the South is naturally the home of Fire energy which nourishes the Star 2's Earth energy...Can anyone say 'indigestion, acid reflux and heartburn' really fast? Oi.

Tip: Dose with high levels of cleanliness and Metal energy. Use the Golden Gourd or Calabash if this is a  food area in the house or building.

So far we've got Metal being the dominant cure for the East sectors and the South. Happily this changes as we move round the Bagua now :)

The Centre Palace has this Star 7 in residence all year and now its doubled up. Star 7 isn't showing us its very best side at the moment, but generally it can be enhanced with great energy flow, no obstacles and a lot o Watery energy pumped into it. Think 'deep and meaningful' when it comes to Star 7 energy, as it has the capability of being rather shallow and nattery, inviting gossip and sniping ... all very unnecessary, but part of the Star 7 personality. If there is low level energy from broken or unloved things, neglected areas, sharp corners (Sha intrusions) and the like, then you can expect to have a fair bit of awkward speech happening in your building. As our sense of Stability is affected by the Centre Palace, we'll feel quite affected from other people's 'evaluations' of us personally. Keep a reign on how sensitively you react to direct or indirect speech regarding you. Have in mind the 'grain of salt' phrase and breathe deeply. If you sleep in this area and have the unhelpful side of Star 7 manifest it can promote mouth, teeth and gum problems; ulcers, abscesses, 'electric' nerves in teeth, and the like.
Tip: Use Water in Shape and Colour (not running water) and remove any Earthy themes if you can. Add reminders of smooth energy like a statue of a meditating Buddha, a smooth angel figurine or a couple hugging.

To the North and our Vocation is boosted by some healthy Star 3 Ambition layering. We can expect to feel ultra motivated towards what we feel is our Life Purpose. With the Mercury Retro in action till the 14th I'd avoid trying to communicate this sense of 'rah-hah' until closer to Solstice ;) Plot, be brilliant, and scheme until then. Its not the area to hold a work's 'do' for end of year either. This much potential for Conflict and Competition could lead to some severely awkward repartee at work parties...
Tip: Make good on this much enthusiasm energy from the Star 3 by inviting in its most helpful aspects of ambition and tempering or 'beautifying' the Qi with representations of Pale Fire. Blossoms, float candles etc in pale pink, lilac, lavender, peach and apricot...think 'pretty'. Personally, I love seeing managerial males wearing a peach business shirt. It screams confidence ;)

Oh and now to THE places for the celebrations! The NW Progression sector, always adorned with Angels, is the home of the Annual Wealth Star 8, an Angel Star too, and its doubled UP this month. NOICE!!!! Wealth of friends, family and feasting...bring it on :)

Tip: Boost, Enhance and reap the benefits of injecting some gorgeous Fire energy into the space. Easy to do in the season of Sun rays and Stars aplenty! Why not go for something a bit 'different' this year and decorate with Orange or Purple? Sprinkle it with suns and stars and crescent moons to give it that 'pointy and explosive' Fire energy. Avoid the golds and silvers tho' as these are Metal energy and will weaken the Earth Star 8.

The SW has Passionate Star 4 placed to provide our Connections with a mischievous potential...Is it a good spot for a party? well, if your sense of humour is well intact then yes. If not, you'd want to put a heap of the following remedy in place. Star 4 heightens our awareness of True Loves. It can make us feel euphoric about making the right choices and following our heart. It can also lead to disillusionment if you have channelled your energies away from what you feel is your reason for being...
Tip: Use Pale Fire in Shape and Colour as any decoration 'theme'. Reconnect with what you really love to do and indulge yourself in that activity or past time.

The West has the Vigorous Star 9 in residence, paired, to really enhance your Creative thinking for the future. As a Fire energy it will feed on Wood so give it lots of potential for Growth. 'DREAM LARGE' as they say, and plant the ideas saplings for a forest of the future.
Tip: Adorn with woody themes of green leaves and the lusciousness of Nature. It will also like Fire, so it makes the perfect place for a Holly inspired seasonal gathering. With the Vivacious and outgoing Star 9 energy here you can expect to have a brilliant party!

So to recap...please keep quiet the East and South generally...pacify the North and SW with pretty pastel Fire energy...soothe the Centre with Watery themes...BOOST and USE the fabulous Qi of the West and NW, and use the SE and NE for some general passive reflection and insight :)

Wishing everyone high quality Qi Flow for a Beautiful Solstice, a Happy Christmas and a Bright New Year.
Blessings and Sparkles

Time to Reflect

I've had the opportunity to spend a little time in contemplation each day since moving house. I made this time 'appear', gave it to myself, requested its arrival...there are many way to get Time to do what you need to do...

The beauty of contemplation is that unlike a directed meditation, I had no agenda. I was sitting in quietness, or apart from the noise of life, and simply inviting in the messages that needed to arrive...with the Time ;)
"Hello Life, what is it you need to tell me?"

Recently the message coming through had been to do with the journey of the last few years...specifically since a mini-crisis in 2007. I was moved towards Kirtan, meditation with chanting Blessings and the names of Divine Beings  in a group. This repitition and gathering of like Minds and Hearts was truly cathartic and healing. I didn't really know what I was going through at the time, just that it was a blossoming of sorts, and it felt relieving, ... selfish in some ways. 'Reservist' is how I'd describe my mindset of the time. I was sorting and sifting my knowledge, being inspired and dejected at once.

Once through the establishment of this healing I got sick. Very sick, but thankfully I healed quickly too. Then I conceived my third child. Then I went through a healp more confusion and angst, almost apologising to people for my health and fertility! A child is a Blessing, a challenge and the reward all in one go. I ended up having the most empowering birth experience.

Life once again turned into a game of 'can she take this much?', and me, ever stubborn and quietly willful, would rise again and again to the tasks of each hour, each day, week, month until finally another year had passed and I had survived, family intact, mind a little wiser, heart a little fuller.

What I have done is continually 'upgrade' my life by the thoughts and actions I choose to take. The choice of what I consume in both physical and non-physical terms has been radically overhauled in a matter of years. And the outcome?
More Harmony, better Health, a vastly improved appreciation of Wealth and the hunger to grow more and more. I'd say I've actually got ambition now... (!)

So as I move towards 2012, with the knowledge streams flowing towards me that I have intentionally set up, I feel 'prepared'. I feel that this new babe I am to birth in mid-February next year will again provide avenues for me to be challenged to succeed and grow into whoever Jannette is meant to turn out to be. And I trust that will all work out Perfectly too.

Blessings for Beautiful Journeys

MiTour of the Miessence factory

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of gathering with the rest of the Miessence Family (Brisbane) to enjoy a meeting with Narelle Chenery at the Miessence factory in Nerang on the Gold Coast. I took along my 11year old daughter as part of her home-ed 'excursion' set, and well, she was kinda dying to go with me and see where all these marvelous smelling products I get come from. When we pulled up outside the building she remarked that she envisaged that it would be a bigger place. I replied that sometimes its quality not quantity that is important, and we found out that afternoon that this is also a philosophy of Miessence's manufacturing processes. We met up with my wonderful support 'parents' Sarah Lantz and Jason Calender, along with the rest of the gang.

Firstly, it was lovely to meet Narelle who walked around and mingled with the group, introducing herself to new people and enjoying catch ups with others. She's a gem; a natural person, and very easy to speak with. Secondly we were treated to her 'journey' thus far, which began with an early diagnosis of 'pre-cancerous cells', something that prompted a dramatic change in her life and encouraged her towards an organic and natural lifestyle. We were taken through the highs and lows of moving state and beginning a new family, the confrontation of finding that the products she was selling were not as 'natural' as she had been led to believe, starting her own home-based skincare business, organising fabulously successful events only to see her own product not sell, and then the challenges of finding compatibly organic ingredients so that her next venture (aided by Alf Orpen, one of the partners of Miessence) became the world's first Certified Organic Skin Care and Make-up range. A world first! What an achievement, and what an inspirational story too.

On the factory tour we were taken through the two warehouse 'rooms' one with bulk ingredients and packaging etc...a high tech water filtration unit that has only brought one contamination reading back in over 2yrs (all Miessence products containing any water contain water that is super pure!), a cool room for mixing the raw ingredients (all ingredients remain 'raw'...ie: not heated over 40C) and the hand mixing, hand pouring, hand filling and hand labelling tables with their various little contraptions to make all this 'hand work' easier for the 30 staff who are employed. Now that in itself was sort of amazing...only 30 staff to run a worldwide business? How do they manage that?

Well, that was the second 'wow' thing that pipped my interest. Miessence makes its products on a one or two month rota, based on a sales limit that triggers a 'ready to make more stock' alert. Everything is really 'fresh'! So there is no conveyer belt manufacturing here. Its all 'as required' by ordering status. No excessive output = minimal to no waste. The packaging filler is compost friendly (my worm farm loves it actually...), the warehouse uses electric forklifts, so all you smell is the gorgeous ingredients. The place, as far as factories go, was very tidy, clean and had great feng shui if you ask me! :)

My daughter has her video of the tour to go over and make into a project about conscious manufacturing practices and organic business for her annual report. I had a great afternoon and learned a lot about the processes and procedures in place to make a world class product with organic certification, and, I so appreciated meeting this woman with so much determination and vision. Narelle is passionate about the products, the lifestyle it promotes, and her enthusiasm is contagious, vivacious and full of integrity. What a great way to spend a few hours :)

Skin Essentials Range comes in four skin type options. Value Packs contain full size Cleanser, Conditioner and Moisturiser. Save over $15 when you order them as a Value Pack, and during November receive a further 20% discount!!!

If you'd like to know more about the products please feel free to contact me for some samples.

Flying Stars Forecast for November

Shaping up for an interesting November with the 'Beautiful Romance' combination influence present in the Centre of builidings. This influence can stimulate romantic behaviour, but, it also reconnects any human with the Pleasure and Joy of just Being. Noice. The sectors to 'focus on' this month are only three, as the rest have a fair bit of 'conflict and confusion' energy going on in them. You know me now...focus on the positives and hopefully it will outweigh the negative influences. What you put your attention to becomes stronger in your Life Experience, and it is a good good habit to begin to be like a heat seeking missile with your thoughts, and to train yourself to stay 'locked on' to the positive energy, the gratitude and Joy in life,...no matter what it brings.

To get the most out of the Forecast please see the blogpage on 'How to use the Monthly Forecast'... accessible from the navigation bar at the top of the blog. A 'quick tip'... identify what sector your front door / entrance door is and the location of your bedroom...these sectors are most important for you to pay attention to.

So to begin, lets look at the West and the sector of Creativity and Children, and Creation. This month it has a sublime energy combination of the Star 9 (Fire) and Star 1 (Water). A very balanced combination hey? Clarity and Wisdom combine here in the Creative sector to offer real insights and perhaps inspiration too. Grab it while it lasts. Set up a workstation, brainstorming table, cushion on the grass, whatever, and tap into it!
Tip: ENHANCE with Wood, Metal, Fire and Water. How? I'd personally do a combination of elemental balancing using a rug or throw, a table runner and a plant, maybe even a wall hanging done especially for the occasion...Use the Shape and Colour associations of each element and bring it together in a balanced way with all elements being equally displayed.

Jumping across the Bagua, we're in the East with the potential for confusion or sluggish thought. The Annual 5 Star has been here and is now visited during November with the Star 6. 6 is related to the Head and Lungs, and establishes to a large degree our 'sense of purpose', or the ability to make choices. When the 5 Star of Pure Potential combines with it we can experience is a loss of cognition regarding the simplest things. Arrrgh!
Tip: Remedy with the Sound of Metal and then boost with a little more Metal in Shape and Colour. This will weaken and distract the Star 5 and support the Star 6, which is a Metal element.

The NE has a combination which can make us feel we aren't doing 'enough'. As its in the Contemplation sector I'd assume we may see a few 'burnouts' taking place with women especially (as the Star 2 is Mother) who hold roles of importance...be that 'mother' or 'carer' or 'manager'. The energy exchange happening between a 2,1 combo is quite forceful, as the Earth energy 2 wants to 'control' the Water energy 1. This is called having an energy 'propelled into action'. Its like being on a constant 'high alert'. Draining to say the least.
Tip: Remedy and soothe with Water in Shape and Colour and the Sound of Metal via some soothing piano or tribal bell and gong music. Very much a 'soothe the savage beast' kind of music... ;)  Add Rescue Remedy or similar to the drinking water...its gonna help a heap!

Up to the SE and we have the 'Clashing Swords' combination. This can actually manifest physical injury from sharp objects or arguments and fighting if the energy is low level. As this is in the Abundance sector I'd assume we may be in for some 'situations' regarding any projects we are attempting to 'push forward' with authority. Its a time to back off in business or personal conviction and allow your Abundance to be a personal thing. Feel the Joy of Personal Authority and allow it to be your Abundance for November.
Tip: Remedy with Water, and more Water...Dark Blues and Blacks in wavy and irregular forms/patterns/shapes etc.

Across to the South and again, more potential conflict with a combination called 'Fighting Bull Sha'...which means "two big angry energies who are pissed off and agressive"... This time the Wood 3 is seeking to control the Earth 2...and its never pretty. Having it manifest in the Reputation sector can severly skew your Perspective of self and others, and this is where I think most of the aggro will come from.
Tip: REMEDY with a whole heap of things! Rescue Remedy for you and your family first off. Then the elemental treatment of implementing a stack of Metal. This will drain the Earth 2 and also 'cut' the Wood 3. Smooth it all with some visual representations of calm like a wall hanging with the words, 'Peace, Honesty, Trust' or similar. A statue of Kuan Yin or Mother Mary, even someone like Angel Raphael to heal the energy of the sector. Burn soothing scents of Lavender, Chamomile and Rosewood.

To the Centre, and as outlined at the beginning, this energy is quite beautiful. It could assist gatherings too if you are holding any early 'end of year' celebrations. (I'd gravitate towards the Centre, West and NW for any functions or events during November...) The Centre is your sense of Stability which encourages good Health. Find your Love, your Bliss, your Joy this November, and roll in it like a puppy on a ley line :)
Tip: Enhance with Fire and Earth representations. Table settings with rectangular red placemats for example. Or yellow stars on serviettes or tablecloths. These combine both Fire and Earth in Shape and Colour.

The North has a very competitive edge to it with both Wood Stars combining and perhaps competing too. These two can be very helpful as they combine the influences of Ambition with Passion. Firecracker stuff! If entered into with the spirit of mutual benefit, the outcome is great, headed into with personal advancement in mind and it gets yucky. As it is in the Vocational sector, dealings with colleagues will need tact and diplomacy, respect and it is so not the time to 'pull rank' in any way shape or form.
Tip: Remedy with Pale Fire. Think pink, lilac, peach colours etc. Cherry blossom prints, or the contemplation of 'one perfect blossom'. Appreciate people for the skills they have and place attention and tasks towards their strengths.

NW has that gorgeous combo of 8,9... :) Great stuff. Star 8 the Annual Wealth Star naturally generated by the Vivacious Star 9, and all combining in the Progression sector. Oh what a month for some profound Personal Progression... if you can manage a course or two then do take the opportunity. Otherwise, simply open up this direction on your home. INVITE this one in! Symbols of Angels and Higher Beings attract this mentoring/guide energy influence and with such perfect Stars in residence there's only a little elemental enhancing to take care of :)
Tip: ENHANCE with Love and Intention, and the colours and shapes of Earth and Fire.

Lastly, the SW sector of Relationships and Connections gets a visit from the potentially uncomfortable Star 5. For those in relationships, it can breed a sort of discontent, confusion or restlessness...for those looking for someone it can provide opportunity.
Tip: Remedy with The Sound of Metal, and remove any Pale Fire representations put in place for the Annual Star 4.

Its only one month more till the 'end of the year' :) and we may be feeling like Time is indeed just racing along like a speeding train. Take time this month to clear your mind of troubles and obligations, refocus on your Creativity, Progression and what you truly love to do. These things will set you right again.

Blessings for Beautiful Stability, Creativity and Progression in all you do

"All I want for Christmas....

...is some decent non-toxic, useful and ethical produced presents"

Oh how boring hey? but true. I dislike getting 'things', I suppose all of us do really, because they end up being those 'things' that in 2 years or 5 years time we are looking at thinking...'that *thing* has never suited my house/life', and we are filled with anxiety, or guilt, or apathy about the 'thing' being a not suitable thing. The amount of 'throw away consumables' today is just insane. It makes me think that we have really, really, really, lost the understanding of 'value'.

The idea that bulk buys are better than concentrated good quality items, or that getting a larger amount of something that we need means its better is just crazy. That old phrase 'Quality not quantity' springs to mind. Quality Time with our loved ones is vastly better than spending empty days vascillating along in a stream of obligations. Quality products make us feel better just like quality food makes us healthier, quality air makes it easier for us to breathe, and quality of environment gives us a better world to live in.

Quality people! that's what life is about :)

When I am observing and assessing a property as a Feng Shui consultant what I am looking and feeling is the quality of Qi (Chi) in that area, those spaces, and how it changes in response to certain stimuli...ie: family members, light, temperature, time of day etc.. The quality of the energy is the 'key' to understanding if it is beneficial or detrimental.

So what's the quality of modern throw away consumables? LOW! Apart from the toxic plastic construction of much of this throw away 'stuff', the production of it has a 'pollution history', and that lingers on the item or object too. The fact that it is 'cheap' is not 'good'.

If you can't buy high priced gifts consider buying something small and of good quality. Some boutique organic chocolate, or a gorgeous lip balm, or superfood drink mix. Consider giving them a voucher for a pedicure (anyone with mobility challenges is simply going to LOVE you for this), or 30 minute therapeutic treatment (choose a therapy that suits the recipient ie: sports massage or Reiki healing?) or similar. The kind of thing that they may not consider getting for themself. When they look back on the year's 'gifts' that they have received, it may just be yours that they smile about and think..."yeah, I'm gonna really enjoy that massage", and you'll be feeling their gratitude too. There are loads of ethical companies and businesses out there. Choose to give them your custom this year instead of just picking any old thing...

There is true value in good vibes ;) Share some around and they'll come back around.

Tuning into Love 030 - Holistic Therapies WORK! *for* you

A stressful few days have just passed. My father has been hospitalised after weeks of immobility and underwent surgery last night. The evening before he was in Emergency, and my son was battling a night of a particularly severe hayfever attack. Last night as my thoughts were with my Dad having a double operation, my youngest daughter began to purge...all night. So that's two nights of no sleep.

How am I getting through this?

Firstly I know its because I have good support, and that I know when to stop, take a moment to contemplate, and retrieve a semblance of perspective to re-align and move back to a balance point. Without this 'learned behaviour' I don't think I'd have such clarity right now.

The other things are:
Bach Flowers Rescue Remedy (as often as I could, whenever, wherever)
Calm Me Aromatherapy Blend (on the wrists and temple pulse points....bliss)
Deep Green alkaliser and In-Liven superfood probiotic (stress heavily depletes the body of vital nutrients and an appetite too...these have been my 'food' for the last few days)
Meditation
Barefoot walking on the grass
Hugging my children and my partner

There's been moments of overwhelm, the tears have flowed and the Mind has traveled to places that aren't pleasant, but I've come back. I trust that we 'know' when things aren't right, and through all of this turmoil I know that I'm doing all the right things, that I am Divinely Loved and that all I need do is ask for assistance and it is given. So I've asked, and thanked, and loved and adored my Divine guides and helpers and all things are working out Perfectly.

My dear ol' Dad a few months ago with my youngest daughter...trustingly asleep in strong arms :)

My son is responding to all the natural remedy treatments we are currently 'doing', and is blissfully sleeping through his immune system strengthening. He'll take a few days to kick this but I know he'll conquer it. My daughter woke up this morning and was bright as a button, temperature gone, and asking for food. In both cases it did not occur to me they would need a doctor, because I know that the care I am attending them with is exactly the kind of care they would experience under 'medical attention'. The key here is focused attention. Trust and Action together ;) yah?

I'm now looking forward to helping my Dad in recovery and rehabilitation from his operation and the weeks he has spent being immobile. This I too trust will work through in Perfect Timing for him and for us too.

Bright Blessings for Beautiful Awareness

2012 Annual Influences Guide – The Year of the Earth Dragon

It’s that time of the year again when we’re looking towards organising our potentials for the coming year, and next year is no ordinary year, its 2012, momentous and hopefully fortuitous for us as well. The Annual Ruling Influence for 2012 is Star 6. This Influence is associated with Authority, Leadership, Giving, but it is also a bit of a task master, and when considering that in 2013 we will have the Annual Ruling Influence of Star 5 (Pure Potential) then it all makes perfect sense to get ourselves very organised and aligned so that during the year of Pure Potential, we are not flagellating, being blown by winds we cannot harness, and left to the currents of Change, which are always potentially uncomfortable for us humans…

So this year is very much a year of preparing our spaces, in our homes, and our Hearts, Minds and lifestyle choices. As usual it’s not all about what you can add, adjust or put ‘in’, sometimes it’s more about what you can remove, fix and improve that is the key. Items, possessions, behaviours and patterns of life can often become ‘Qi Leaks’ and these need remedying before we begin implementing any Remedy. This year’s AIG is all about Preparation Inspiration!  I want you to find those key Qi Leaks at your property and fix ‘em up! As a helper I’ve posted a file on my website called ‘Key Qi Leaks and How to Fix Them’, available as a free pdf downloadable file. I hope it gives you some ideas and inspiration to prepare your spaces for the highest possible Qi Flow obtainable.

As the Feng Shui New Year begins on January 23^rd 2012, I will be hosting the Annual Influences Guide Presentations during the end of November and early December 2011. This way we will have time to implement any suggested changes to our property, and truly be ‘organised’ for 2012. Dates available for Presentations are:

November – Saturday 19^th and 26^th, Sunday 20^th and 27^th

December – Saturday 3^rd, 10^th and 17^th, Sunday 4^th, 11^th and 18^th

Morning Presentations are available from either 9 or 10am through to 12 or 1pm. Evening Presentations are available between 6pm to 9pm.

Presentations take approximately 3hrs and are held at private residences here on the Gold Coast or in Brisbane. Further gatherings will be considered, please contact me to discuss hosting a Presentation in your area. If you would like to host a Presentation there are a few perks of course :)

1.     Each Host receives a free copy of the AIG 2012

2.     You will have your own property as the ‘practical training’ part of the Presentation, giving personal insights into how to use the Annual Influences on your home. (It’s sort of like a mini-consult all of your own)

3.     I can help get some of the attendees from previous Presentation guests if you are happy to have new friends come along to your home :)

Requirements to host a Presentation:

1.   A room large and comfortable enough for roughly 10 people to sit and enjoy 3hrs of talking and sharing. A dining room table is fine, but whatever space you have that can work like this is great. Outdoor entertaining areas are lovely too, Rumpus rooms, combined lounge and dining areas, etc.
2. You’ll need to find at least 5 other attendees but not more than 8, as this amount of people allows me to answer specific and personal questions about each person’s property on the day.
3. Each attendee needs to purchase at least one copy of the AIG 2012 (still only $50.00 AU) to come along to the gathering.

Guests are invited to bring a plate of something fresh and nutritious to eat as morning tea or supper, as the Presentation is broken up in two parts so that we don’t hit information overload. There is a LOT to cover! :)

Yes, I’ll still offer a quick run-down on the Annual Flying Stars at your property if you can bring along:

• ·        A clean copy of your floorplan and property boundaries with some landscape notes (ie: hill in the North, river to the South…busy road to the left side of the property, stand of trees in such and such a direction…etc)
• ·        Directions marked in (taken using a compass, not the rising and setting sun…)
• ·        Some photos if you have them will be helpful

This year my focus is on going through the preparation for getting great Qi Flow! Yes, we’ll talk about the Annual Influences in depth, go over a bit of basic and advanced Feng Shui theory, answer questions, find solutions etc…but what I do want everyone to take away with them this year is the Preparation Inspiration to ‘fix Qi leaks’ and learn how to identify them, before the necessary ‘tweaking’ and ‘remedies’ are placed. This way each and every one of you will receive the optimum efficiency from your Annual Influences Guide. 

I’ve also revised Modules 1 and 2 and 3 last year, added a little more this year too. They are now packed full of diagrams, charts and more visual examples to help. All three Modules are available now for ordering, along with some Assessment Modules coming in the very near future. I recommend these as great aides to begin or further Feng Shui knowledge and they are also designed to help you become adept at performing your very own Feng Shui Assessments. 

There are a couple of ‘sneak peak’ files loaded up onto the website now so you can take a look. 

If you have a group of friends who are interested in Feng Shui but do not know much about the finer points of theory, or anything to do with Flying Stars Feng Shui, I am also offering a Feng Shui Introduction Presentation of the Module 1 ‘Holistic Feng Shui and Energy Layers’, (which includes a ‘how to’ Bagua your floorplan session) available for purchase from my website www.HolisticTherapyConnections.com for only $35 + pp. The same conditions apply to hosting a Feng Shui Introduction as for an AIG Presentation.

I simply LOVE hosting these events each year and reconnecting with people I enjoy spending time with, talking Feng Shui for a few hours and indulging in my passion for helping others to achieve optimum energy flow. I look forward to seeing you soon or hearing from you regarding hosting a Presentation. The dates usually fill up quickly, so please get in touch asap and book in your day. 

I would love it if you can pass this message onto anyone you feel may be interested in either attending an AIG 2012 presentation, or an Introduction to Feng Shui presentation during November or December this year.

You can order your AIG 2012 online at www.HolisticTherapyConnections.com in the Online Shop section under ‘Manuals’. It’s still only $50 + pp.

Peaceful Blessings
