THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Fill your brain with giant dreams so if it has no space for petty pursuits.
…………..Robin Sharman,

FYI –
The work of Byron Katie is a way of identifying and questioning the thoughts that cause all the anger fear depression addiction and violence in the world. Time Magazine calls her a spiritual innovator for the new millenium.
In this YouTube you will see the way she works – setting us free from our thoughts allowing us to see with new eyes. The Youtube is titled “My son refuses to see me” www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhecptnD5OQ&feature=youtu.be

Click on “Worm Busters”. A 4 minute documentary of the fundraiser we had to raise money to purchase worming tablets for the children of Guatemala.
It also takes you to Guatemala sharing with you this on going project that is run by Viktor Moasyr. Teacher, friend and great humanitarian.
We can make a difference…
All I can say is these people are truly magical and they need our help. Please let me know what you think of the documentary. So if you feel life is unfair to you,take a look at these people who are severely disadvantaged, discriminated against, and prosecuted in their own country yet they are the most loving beings. They still smile.
The opportunities we have they can only dream about.
Any donations will be greatly appreciated and know that every cent goes towards these projects. PAYPAL
DREAM THE DREAM……

Health – DNA can change???
DNA is exciting stuff! Let me tell you of an experiment carried out by the Institute of Heartmath in Boulder Creek, California. The researchers monitored and measured the effects of emotions on human placenta DNA, the most pristine form of DNA there is. The experiment discovered that the DNA actually changed shape according to the researchers’ feelings. (There were 28 of them). For example, when the researchers felt gratitude love and joy the DNA responded by relaxing its strands, unwinding them to become longer. And when the researchers felt fear, anger, frustration and stress, the DNA shortened and tightened up, in turn switching off many DNA codes. So if you ever felt ‘shut-down’ by your negative emotions, this is why. Such ‘shut-downs’ were quickly reversed, however, when the researchers felt feelings of love, gratitude and joy again.
But the experiment didn’t stop there. The institute later performed a follow-up experiment with HIV positive patients. They discovered that feelings of love, joy, gratitude and appreciation increased immune resistance by 300,000 times. It seems clear from this that if you keep feelings of joy, love and gratitude in your heart and life, you are less likely to let viruses, flu or bacteria break through your immune system and get you down.

In and Around the Academy
With Rosemary Butterworth
It is all about where you want to be – in the upward spiral or downward spiral. I watched the video above of Byron Katie – My Son Refuses to see me and loved her ability to help the woman see her situation totally differently. Often the situation doesn’t need ‘fixing’, all it takes is for us to leave our thoughts behind and see with new eyes.
When meditating and asking what was the Academy’s work this year, I was given the word, ‘transition’. The dictionary gives it as ‘the process or period of changing from one state or condition to another.”
Up to the end of 2012 we have been gathering information, just like the caterpillar. The pupa stage is living and digesting what we have learnt from the information. This obviously changes our DNA taking, keeping and supporting us into a multidimensional state or rather connects to us our multidimensional bodies which means we can fly free as the butterfly. We are no longer earthbound but can fly from flower to flower, pollinating as we go. Spreading love, joy and peace.
So assess everything you are using, don’t assume the tools of the past are right for you now.
Sometimes we simply need to get our energy higher – to tune into different thoughts. Mark Anthony will be at the Academy meeting on Monday night, leading the meditation, clearing our chakras, and empowering us with downloads of Abundance and Creativity.
Come and be the butterfly. This is the work of the Academy.

MARK ANTHONY – THETA HEALING
“FROM SCARCITY TO ABUNDANCE – How to do it!”
Come along and discover…
* The wonderful benefits of the world famous healing modality ThetaHealing

* Have the opportunity to expand your mind and regain your empowerment so that you are able to recognize all the opportunities you have available to you and begin to feel a deep sense of personal worth, security and the true belief that there is plenty for everybody especially YOU
“The scarcity mentality can be overwhelming and debilitating. From Mark’s experience working with many clients he has found that the scarcity mentality is the major cause or source of everyone’s pain, struggle and suffering in life. The scarcity mentality can be overwhelming and can relate to all areas of our life from a lack of money, love, health, career and work opportunities. Much of our society is built on a scarcity mentality and in many cases people are so deeply conditioned and programmed with the scarcity mentality they are hardly aware of it and it is just a way of life. “
(*Downloading is a powerful Thetahealing technique in which the theta brainwave is used to instill positive feelings, beliefs and understandings directly to the subconscious mind and cellular level.)
Mark is a successful businessman, was diagnosed with a severe bone infection. He found high doses of prescribed medication ineffective. However with ThetaHealing™, he experienced instant remission. Mark now teaches ThetaHealing™ and is continually inspired by the positive results and transformations achieved by his students. His passion is to empower people to create the life they choose to live. He dedicates his time enriching lives with this amazing technique. Mark is the Australian Representative for ThetaHealing™ . www.thetahealing.net.au or mark@thetahealing.net.au

Community Announcements
Lilo is searching a new home for her dog Jazzy, (age 7/ Kelpie-kettle) 
The owner of our current residence is coming back on short notice and we have to move to a flat (with a no pet policy). So our family is looking for a loving home for Jazzy. She is a lovely, clever well trained and child friendly dog. Jazzy enjoys playing, fetching balls, swimming and loves every opportunity to go to the dog park to interact off leash with others. Her energetic spirit has remained and she makes a beautiful friend and companion. Jazzy requires no grooming, except a wash every now and again.
Walking on the leash is her weakest point – she needs a strong, firm hand if another dog is in sight. (we adopted Jazzy from the pound when she was 18mts old and it breaks my heart to let her go) – so finding a great home is imperative for me. Are you the one? Or do you know a dedicated friend/family who is looking for a new friend?
