THOUGHTS OF THE WEEK
Never take someone for granted, hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones.

FYI
We are so pleased to see the Community Garden networks getting stronger and stronger. Remember in our enewsletter on 29th August we mentioned Pam Warhurst and the great program she co founded – Incredible Edibles – see www.ted.com/talks/pam_warhurst_how_we_can_eat_our_landscapes.html. The aim is to spread edible landscapes throughout their community which has influenced the world community. Then on 12th September we spoke about Circles of Learning who run programs for Children, Parents and Seniors. Their aim is to empower people to improve health and relationships through the creation of community gardens. For more information email info@circlesoflearning.org.au. On Monday we arrived at St Johns Uniting Church for our regular gathering and around the entire church was a garden full of fruit and vegetables! How wonderful!!

More copies of Robbie Hotz’s book – Secrets of Aboriginal Healing, Journey to the Heart – have arrived! The book is a Nautilus Silver Medal Winner and ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year Finalist. Marilyn McGuire, founder of Nautilus Book Awards says “A must read for anyone who wants to gain freedom from disease and other challenging circumstances.” We highly recommend it too!

Here is an amazing video, the powerpoint image on the wall was a static (still, non-moving) image… however when filmed, it came to life displaying its ‘multi-dimensional’ pulsating energy from the Heart of our Galaxy, through our Heart into the Heart of Mother Earth. Click here.

HEALTH TIP – A New Lavender Essence
by Solara Zwaneveld
This essence was made with a Moonstone crystal to enhance the healing qualities
Properties:
Cushioning life’s bumps & blows,
Calm and Peace
The Lavender flower essence is for those times in life when you may be feeling battered and blown about by life’s tumultuous happenings. It was prepared during a full Blue moon on 1st September, being also the first day of Spring in this southern hemisphere. It was prepared in partnership with my physical Soul sister bringing an added aspect of love and strength.
This essence has the ability to bring balance and calming for the mind and emotions of varying moods that can be experienced during tumultuous times – as well as those that may lie hidden beneath the flowering beauty of the self. It brings calm and clarity when experiencing scatteredness during difficult times.
The flowers have the appearance as if being able to cushion and absorb the difficult blows that life brings, and these are the very aspects that are offered within the Lavender’s essence. Sometimes when moods such as fear, anger, guilt or deep hurt are held totally within, they can cause destruction, disharmony, imbalance and problems with your health and well-being. There is a need to bring them to the surface to be dealt with and let go of allowing for forgiveness and healing of body, mind and spirit to take place.
The Lavender essence offers peace, calm, well-being and refreshing sleep.
SUPPLIED AS A STOCK CONCENTRATE (dosage = 3 drops twice a day) For more detail go to www.flowersforhealing.com/Lavender.html

In and Around The Academy
With Rosemary Butterworth.
I was awoken early one morning this week (as angels are inclined to do) and Archangel Metatron told me to pass on this thought. “When you are down and the world seems a dark and troublesome place, imagine you are in a tunnel. Instead of focusing on the dark around you , focus on the Light at the end – remember there is always a Light at the end of every tunnel. Take a step towards the Light and watch it grow.”
It has also come into my awareness this week that it is important to set our boundaries and state everyday that we only want beings of a Divine nature and ones that are for our highest good in our homes and spaces. Please remember!

“Improving your Communication Skills – Resolving Conflicts & Difficulty with People”
Dr Gary Wohlman
* Dr Gary will demonstrate how to encode in our muscle memory renewed pathways of clear communication, full self-expression and harmonious relationships with self and others.
* Everyone present will come away with an ability to put these principles into immediate action to transform difficulties and conflicts with people in similar ways that they have witnessed this evening.
* Dr Gary explains how he has seen continued difficulty and conflict occur between people as a result of their not having a physical experience (in their body) of what to do differently with regards to their use of the spoken word so it can be expressed in concert with their voice, breath, posture and
movement patterns.
* He will show us how to shift these conditions through a scenario-based approach, emphasising that once there are physical shifts that can be observed and experienced in various sensations and locations in the body, a new corresponding self-talk and mental attitude can reinforce the newly desired condition, so fresh patterns can take hold.
* An example will be given of a situation illustrating conflict and difficulty with people using Dr Gary’s “Double Extreme” technique. From this, shifts often emerge in the areas of improving communication and presentation skills that resolve conflicts and build fresh rapport in relationships.
This will be followed by a Question & Answer period.
Dr. Gary Wohlman is founder and director of Amber Phoenix Pty/Ltd. He is an innovative, international presentation coach who travels the world training CEOs, managing directors, senior managers and executive committees of leading organisations, as well as professional speakers and entrepreneurs in a wide range of industries. His streamlined approach to facilitating personal and corporate communication breakthroughs combines over 40 years of performance-based leadership training, team-building and platform skills. Known for his refreshing, outrageously playful and sensitive audience-participatory style, Dr Gary has an extraordinary ability in creating a safe and supportive atmosphere through which participants easily awaken their authenticity.

WHAT’S ON
Ian Crane from the UK doing a tour of Australia and New Zealand.
October 27th – December 8th
Ian is very much a protagonist for the coming New age for humanity. He spoke in Sydney last year and he is back by popular demand. As far as promoting the kind of awareness needed to navigate through these times….Ian really nails it!
Primarily Ian focuses his attention and research on the geopolitical arena but has a deep personal interest in folklore, mythology and the cosmological belief systems of ancient and indigenous cultures. In fact, it is Ian’s research and understanding of these systems and beliefs which provides him with a unique insight into the unfolding global drama providing the catalyst for humanity’s evolution into a new plane of existence (Homo Luminous?).
To find out more about Ian go to www.ianrcrane.com and to see his tour flyer click here.
