FYI – We’ve Got Time

Embrace Your Limitations!

Wow!  Aren’t Ted Talks fantastic?!  Here is another one that we recommend you listen to, because by listening to this it can help you embrace what you think is wrong in your life.  Phil Hansen: Embrace the shake – it is only about 10 minutes long and is inspiring.  His art is just as incredible as his creative mind.

In art school, Phil Hansen developed an unruly tremor in his hand that kept him from creating the pointillist drawings he loved. Hansen was devastated, floating without a sense of purpose. Until a neurologist made a simple suggestion: embrace this limitation … and transcend it. 

So he learned to let go of outcomes, failures and imperfections.  We encourage you to listen to what he learnt and see how you can transform yourself and your world.  Change your life!

Energetic Clearing Process

In Ken Page’s (www.kenpage.com) May newsletter he made available an energetic clearing process that we thought we would pass on to all of you.  Here is the introduction and then click through to the full article.

What if we were to tell you there was a place where you were alone, 3, 4, 5 or more times a day, in complete privacy, where you basically have nothing else to do but just be?

 Impossible? No, not really. This place is of course, the bathroom! While this might even seem laughable to some of you, think a moment. If we said you would have to stop your busy schedule even just two times a day to change your life and even if we could give you provable results, how many of us would really follow through?

 This is why we are suggesting you simply begin the following clearing technique the very next time you go to the bathroom. In that moment of privacy, whether you are sitting or standing, do the following….

A fabulous opportunity !

If you are interested in having a cultural experience like you have never had before this might be for you.

“Nellie Patterson is planning to be at Yulara in August, she invites you to come and camp with her and share culture.

The camp site at Yulara belongs to the Indigenous Land Corporation and is managed by Voyages. If you would like to come and be on this land you will need to provide everything for yourselves, from transport to sleeping gear, food, water and cooking gear. There will be an opportunity to coordinate transport, equipment and food so that resources can be pooled. Note that this is not an organised activity, if you wish to camp with Mrs Patterson you do so under your own arrangements and at your own risk.

It is expected that a donation of $700 will be made by each Visitor to the Elders for the opportunity to spend time with them on Country, getting to know them and learning about their culture. This money will be used by them to cover their transport costs and other living expenses while there, so please bring it with you in cash and give it directly to Mrs Patterson. The Elders will also have art works for sale and will be creating additional pieces during camp.

The Date will be 19th – 23rd August, 2013, so to allow time for resource coordination please register your interest by 1st July, by sending an email to gubbisuz1@hotmail.com with your name, contact phone numbers, home address and email address. If you have any queries please call Robyn Law on 0414 905 444 or Suzanne Thompson on 0488 955 935.”

Thought of the Day

Physical illnesses may be cured by medicines.  No medicine, however, can induce that state of boundless energy which comes when every cell in the body cooperates with the mind willingly, joyfully, in all that it seeks to do.

Such radiant well-being comes after the mind has been cleared of everyshadow of unwillingness, of fear, and of doubt; when one has learned to say yes to life; and when one has learned to love. .….. J. Donald Walters.

Begin by practising to be kind in thought, word and deed.

In and Around the Academy

With Rosemary Butterworth

A client came to me because she felt terrible after attending a weekend workshop.  She said it hadn’t worked for her and was wishing she had not attended.   When I put her on the table I saw all this movement of ‘dust’.  It was as if she had had thoughts that had been buried in her subconscious disturbed and they were now flying around her.  This was the ‘dust’ that I was seeing and feeling and these thoughts were making my client feel unsafe, little and scared.

BUT NOTHING HAD GONE WRONG!  This ‘dust’ needed to be disturbed.  It was thoughts that had been buried in the subconscious and that been pried loose like weeds in a garden and then the weeds could be turned into mulch and used as fertiliser or dried and turned into dust and blown away.

The energy coming onto the planet now is very strong and will pry loose what we are attached to and trying to hang on to.   Susan Jeffers, author of ‘Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway’,  says: ” I ask my subconscious mind to consult my higher self to find the solution for me.”  Then let it go.  The best time to do it is before bed.

So it is very important to:

1.  Know that nothing is going wrong with your life.  A good thing to say, (particularly if you have been made redundant) ‘if not this, then what?’

2.  Embrace your fear – do gratitude with a whole heart.

3.  Love life.

AFFIRMATION – say throughout the day…

“My body cells obey my will.  They dance with divine vitality!  I AM well! I AM strong! I AM a flowing river of boundless power and energy.”

HEALTH –The Ancient Art of “Oil Pulling”

 This is a really neat way of using oils – I heard about it a couple of weeks ago, and have been doing it ever since. It is based on an ancient Ayurvedic technique for detoxing and rejuvenating the body. Traditionally, virgin sesame oil was used….however many people today choose organic virgin raw coconut oil instead (just sit it in warm water till it liquefies, or let it liquefy in your mouth). I’ve been told that the reason coconut oil is often used is because of its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and enzymatic properties…..so it kills the bad bugs and leaves behind the good probiotics.

 What I love is that you can add essential oils into the coconut oil before putting it in your mouth, for added health benefits. I add 2 drops of Oregano into it (and no, it’s not hot in the mouth…..there’s enough coconut oil to well and truly dilute its heat). Having said that – I make sure my coconut oil is liquid first, then put the Oregano in it, then I put it into my mouth. I have other oily friends who are doing this with Thieves oil, or Purification oil….but I also wonder at the benefits of using an emotional oil in the mix, something like Tangerine, or Believe, or Joy, if you wanted to uplift your day.

 The whole idea is to use the coconut + essential oil mix like a mouthwash….swirl it around in your mouth, pull the oil between your teeth, wash it over your gums and around your tongue…..just don’t gargle with it, because of the toxins its carrying (and don’t swallow it). Ideally put a tablespoon of the coconut or sesame oil in your mouth, and swish it around like a mouthwash for 20 minutes. If that’s too much for you, start with a teaspoon and build up….or start with 5 minutes and build up to 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, simply spit the oil into a bin (not down the sink, as it can clog the drain). Finish by rinsing your mouth out with clean water a few times, then drink a glass of water and enjoy your day!!! And although this can be done at any time of day, it’s best to do it first up in the morning, before eating or drinking.

The process draws congestion and mucus from the body (from your throat and sinuses). It also attracts bacteria, toxins and parasites from your mouth and lymph system. Thanks to our saliva, all these things bind with the oil, ready to be disposed of. Another advantage of oil pulling is that I’m told it helps to re-mineralise teeth and strengthen gums through the act of thoroughly cleansing the area. I’m looking forward to finding out what my dentist notices on my next appointment!!!!

ERIC PEARL RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA NOVEMBER 2013

NEW BOOK: SOLOMON SPEAKS ON RECONNECTING YOUR LIFE by Dr Eric Pearl and Frederick Ponzlov

 Those insights came courtesy of Solomon, an extra-dimensional intelligence that speaks through Frederick Ponzlov. Click on the link to read the extract of the book.

 Eric Pearl will returning to Sydney this November presenting seminars in Reconnective Healing.
