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!!!

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.

Blessings for Easy Solutions to End-of-Year Celebrations !
