Blue Beard Iris - Releases past life gifts in music and the arts.
|
If you play music and there's a small child in the room he or she will begin quite naturally to sing or hum and to joyously move in time, yet as we get older we become more and more inhibited in our movements and how we allow ourselves to voice our feelings until we are only expressing a tiny part of the potential we were born with. Our body is full of blocks - memories of when we said or did something which resulted in disapproval or humiliation. Our body gets stiffer and our voice becomes less vibrant and more restricted in its range. So make this the moment to dance and sing your way back to the full range of expression that you were born with.
Here to help is this month's new blend Soul Gifts which will wake up any past-life talents for soul expression. There's also a workshop on 5 Rhythm dance at Findhorn. I do this type of expressive dance weekly if I can and I highly recommend it - apart from keeping you fit and being a lot of fun, it can bring about deep emotional release. Check for song and dance groups and dance holidays. We're now at the summer solstice so it's time to connect to the Earth and sacred spaces, honouring the seasons cycles. If you're in London you could celebrate the Solstice on Monday 20th June at Alternatives. In this issue there are also funny, heart-warming videos, plus talks and workshops to help you offer your uniqueness to the world in a way that's valuable and valued and a chance to get together on the inner planes via the Crystalline Grid or the outer ones at a Peace Meditation. |

Bach Flower Blends - For Fast Emotional Balancing
When You Just Need a Quick Retuning
 I had a disturbed night a couple of week's ago with an upset stomach and woke up really irritable. Luckily a reader had recently reminded me of the power of choosing a Bach flower blend intuitively, so I chose eight bottles that resonated and started taking a blend of those straight away. One that had resonated particularly strongly was Walnut. Walnut works on the issue of staying true to your own purpose and not getting diverted by other demands on your time. It works on the solar plexus where we hold our sense of self so it was logical that this had manifested as an upset stomach - I was allowing my boundaries to be infringed. Walnut can also help at times of change and instability which can manifest as issues with your teeth - I'm in the middle of major dental work and big changes. The hard casing of walnut shows how well it protects you, keeping boundaries healthy, whilst the inside which resembles the brain, reflects how it restores mental balance. Within a few hours I was back on track. The remedy had showed me the problem; I could see what was taking me off course and dealt with it. These simple remedies can not only help you see the real issue but also change how you feel about it. For example Larch was a vital confidence-boosting part of my blend, otherwise I'd still be finding excuses not to act on what I'd discovered! On days where you don't want to do deep clearing, you just need emotional balance or some feedback on what's bothering you, Bach flowers can do the trick. You can also take them alongside the deeper acting essences to smooth your path.

NEW - Soul Gifts Essence
Developing Past Life Talents

Blackberry - Grounds past life gifts in the present
|
One of the most common problems people suffer with is depression which I think of as 'suppression'. When we're depressed we often have a blocked sacral and throat chakra. The throat is where our creativity, which springs from the sacral area, finds an outlet. Block that energy pathway and you block your joy, your life force and the expression of your purpose, because all of us incarnated in order to create, using our unique gifts.
Our gifts are often awakened through cellular memory, whether ancestral or past life. You may find the first time you pick up a paintbrush, some clay or a violin or that you move to music, you feel a rush of .....Click to read more and order

A Reason, A Season or A Lifetime
Fulfilling Karmic Contracts
 A Reason, A Season or a LifetimeThis lovely slideshow is a great reminder of the higher purpose of relationships. If we're feeling angry or sad about someone in our life it's just judgement - everyone has been invited into our life for us to experience for a reason. Thanks to Miriam Pinkerton for this. Singing From the HeartThis lovely clip from Korea shows how, even when life has dealt you some incredibly difficult cards, you can still aspire to express yourself. Thanks to Richard Jacobs. The Longest Xylophone in the ForestThis wonderfully imaginative Japanese advert for a mobile phone is hypnotic to watch. Some of the proceeds from each phone goes to help the forest.

Learn to Meditate Effortlessly - A Pathway to Peace
 Would you like to experience inner silence, space and calm? That's what TM (Transcendental Meditation) allows you to do. It's so simple, anyone can do it. You arrive for your first session and a few minutes later you're meditating.
The effects of TM are palpable: you can feel your body slowing down, your muscles relax, breathing slows. Best of all, it happens automatically. There's no 'trying' to relax; no clearing the mind. You just sit comfortably, close your eyes, start a simple mental procedure and meditation happens naturally.
Next courses offered by the Meditation Trust charity start:
- Brighton Saturday 13th August
- Bristol Saturday 10th September
Email info@meditationtrust.com or call the Meditation Trust on 01843 841010.
Group Meditation For World Peace in Brighton, Sussex - Saturday 23rd July
You're invited to a free 'big group meditation' for world peace on Sat 23rd July noon-1pm at Brighton's Brighthelm Community Centre. If you practice a silent meditation or would like to sit with us while we practice TM for 20 mins and experience the tranquility you're most welcome. Afterwards there will be a short talk about TM.
'The effect of TM is quite different from visualisation or focused meditation. It gives my nervous system daily rest so I feel much calmer, more connected and more objective. The follow up groups are invaluable for keeping it up' Nikki

Personal Energy Attunements - Your Experiences

Californian Poppy - Awakening Your Psychic Gifts
|
Sometimes it helps to know the monthly trends - what issues many of us are dealing with. Tuning in over the past couple of weeks the most common issues are:
- Past life dynamics showing up as conflict in current life groups such as our family
- Karmic lessons in learning to forgive and let go of the past
- Being able to connect our heart and throat chakras so that we can speak from our heart's truth
- Patterns of over-busyness; feeling there isn't enough time
- Karmic fear needing release
- Ancestral patterns of poverty consciousness
If you recognise any of these you're not alone - in fact you're in tune with what we're all being asked to look at right now. These are all based on the essences which come through to me, so they can all be helped in a natural way.

 Essence of the Month: Sweet William
Remembering the Way - Opening to Authentic Loving Relationships
Each month an essence gets a special mention and this month it's Sweet William. Although I don't normally offer single essences, this means it's available on its own just for that time.
- This essence reawakens ancient knowledge stored in our cellular memory.
- It's especially helpful to awaken us to the next stage of spiritual growth.
- It works on our heart chakra, arousing compassion for ourselves and others, breaking a cycle of self criticism and judgement, particularly where others haven't lived up to our idealised view of the role they should play in our life.
- It enables us to lay aside unhelpful patterns such as withdrawal or anger to find a way to be together that reflects each person's real needs.
- It's a wonderful essence at the beginning of a romantic relationship to clear negative expectations that we may project due to past experience, as well as at the end of a relationship to wipe the slate clean of hurt or old grudges.
- Useful Affirmation: 'I start afresh with new expectations of love and relationships that allows for authentic communication'.

Whole-Systems Healing for the Self and & More: Findhorn, Scotland
7 days starting Saturday 16th July led by Linda Bates & Kate Friendship
What is your next evolutionary step, your unique world-work? What inner resources are available to you - and where is movement most difficult?
In this week we'll combine the new deep-systems healing which has emerged from the systemic and family constellation field with approaches to presence, as advocated in contemporary and ancient spiritual teachings. This will lead you to explore questions which you bring intuitively, through the body and meditative enquiry, investigating where flows of energy are prevented and are blocking change in your life.
Underlying dynamics which keep you from moving into your full potential will be revealed, bringing insight into what holds you back, and helping to free you from illness or addictive habits. This will help you face your choices with a deeper awareness of the whole, seeing clearly how you need to act.
This work can be a powerful channel for whole system healing: you may use it to explore any personal, professional, social or family issues. It will strengthen you as an individual while bringing movement to all the systems - intimate and planetary - of which you're an integral part.
