The aim of this week’s newsletter is to remind you to be mindful
F.Y.I.
Enlightenment Stories
Just what we constantly need – inspiration and this video has it. It is so inspiring to hear enlightened people talk of their moment when they ‘died’ or realised that they weren’t their self-talk or their compulsive thoughts. That was only the voice of their personality and had nothing to do with the immense being that they and we are. Although it is over half an hour long you can watch it in segments i.e choose to watch one person at a time. There are five people to choose from: Ekhart Tolle, Adyashanti, Mooji, Rupert Spira and Sadhguru. This video is a must for everyone.

What You Practice Grows Stronger
How do we change? In this pioneering talk, Dr. Shauna Shapiro draws on modern neuroscience and ancient wisdom to demonstrate how mindfulness can help us make positive changes in our brains and our lives. She is a scientist and from her own experience she found out how mindfulness helped her after she had a spinal operation. Research shows that our mind wanders 47% of the time that is almost half our life we aren’t present enough to enjoy it. Dr Shapiro shares simple but effective practices in mindfulness that has helped her transform her life. A valuable 13 minutes. Click Here to watch.
Happy Easter from The Academy
I searched the internet to find a meditation for you that fills you with hope and joy (not chocolates). Sounds of music that can bring with it New Light and faith that you too, can ascend to Christ consciousness. I hope you enjoy what I have found. 5 minutes long. It is indeed a very beautiful verson of Hallelujah. (No preference given just because her name is Rosemary) Click Here to view.

We wish you happy holidays and hope to see you on the 1st May 2017 for our wonderful Sound Night.
Monday 1st May 2017
SOUND EVENING
JOHN BUTTERWORTH, ADRIAN ANTEROS, JEWELS WAKEMAN, PAULIEN GORT, ELLIE FRANCIS and JOE VANDERMEER
Come along, lay down to enjoy these sounds and bliss out….
Music is a wonderful way to shift your energy and raise your vibrations for the days ahead. So do take advantage of our Sound evenings when your mind gets a rest from all that ‘busy-ness’ and constant chatter. While resting and letting the sound swirl over you and through you, bring in conscious energy, i.e. Light from the Universe, ask your Higher Self what colour out of the White Light you need the most and allow the cells of your body to absorb it and let the Light go to the area of your body that needs it the most. (I brought in red and stopped a cold in its tracks…Rosemary)
Featured Guest Artist – Adrian Anteros on Didgeridoo
Tonight you will be bathed with the extraordinary sounds of Didgeridoo (Adrian Anteros), Crystal Bowls (Jewels Wakeman and Paulien Gort), Gongs, Tibetan Bowls, Bells and Chimes (John Butterworth) plus the voices of Jo Vandermeer, Ellie Francis, Jewels Wakeman plus Paulien Gort who will also be playing her Monochord again.
By surrendering, with a quiet mind, to the sound of the giant gongs, bowls, didgeridoo and other musical instruments, the natural intelligence of our body can entrain back to a state of wellbeing. It is then up to you to maintain that state by modifying what you think and consume.
Everything in creation has its own natural rate of vibration which can be accelerated or decreased by other sources of vibration by the scientific law of sympathetic resonance or entrainment.
Bring a rug/blanket and pillow to lie down or sit as you allow your body to be immersed in these wonderful therapeutic and consciousness-expanding sound waves
The cells of our bodies tune into these beautiful sounds and release toxins embedded thought patterns that no longer serve us and the result is that we feel rested relaxed, CLEANSED and REJEVENATED.
Just as a piano tuner is called in to tune up a Steinway to keep it playing in tune with creation so our bodies need to be ”tuned up” so that each organ of our body knows it is supported and loved, knows it’s place in the scheme of things and is in oneness with all creation.
Join us in the GRAND HALL at Mosman tonight!

Ocha Sheehan – Connecting to Earth Energies
As a prelim to the main event, Rosemary gave us our weekly reminder about the importance of turning off the thoughts and being present. Have you noticed how everything is becoming smaller, lighter, faster and more accessible ? The smartphone in your pocket has more computing power than that big, clunky computer tower that used to sit under your desk, Well, we have some similar adaptation with our mindful practice.
The standard meditation is 20-30min. But some people missed out because they couldn’t find a chunk of time that large. So years ago, Rosemary broke it down into 3 x 3min sessions a day that were easier to include. Still some people missed out because of when to schedule those 3min sessions. So now thanks to Terri, we have The Expresso 5 second reminder linked to when you have just finished going to the bathroom. Just take a deep breath and while exhaling count 5-4-3-2-1. Now feel your feet on the floor and be connected to the Earth. Do this at least 5 times a day and it will become a habit. A conscious habit or a habit to be conscious. It will really help you. My personal affirmation to complete is “The Mind is Still, I am Present and Connected”.
Which leads in nicely to the main event , Ocha’s “Connecting to Earth Energies”.
Ocha started by relating a story about a tribe in Colombia, who had shunned interacting with the outside world. They had no need, because their priests spent a lot of time underground, connecting with the rest of world through the Earth Mother.
Our lower chakras ( base & sacral ) hold the memories of previous incarnations and also connect us to the Earth Mother. By connecting and releasing to the Earth Mother we can assist our Soul on it journey. Through this connection we can also act as a conduit to allow light to flow from the higher realms to the Earth Mother. My personal metaphor is that it is like a stream that cleanses as it flows. So we are doing service for ourselves and the Earth Mother when we allow this to happen, through conscious connection meditation. Ocha then led us through a meditation. It was an incredible half hour meditation in which Ocha channeled the Language of Light. Some of us afterwards explained how we felt strong sensations of energy running through our body while she channeled.
Ocha will be running a series of workshops , so if you would like to learn more of her work :

Thought Of The Week …

HEALTH TIP
Bringing Postive Energy into your Home
In these challenging economic times, now more than ever our home is required to provide a feeling of serenity and comfort as a retreat from the distractions and turmoil of the outside world.
Would you like to remove the old energy from your home and restore your home with new energy?
“If we consider the ancient stories of how Earth was created with a Word, what power do you think exists in this form of communication? How important are your words and what do you create with them”? Energy does not die, it just changes form. In the same respect, words do not die. Picture your home. Once you have the image of your home in mind, think about what conversations (words) occurred in your home in the past year. The energy in words have a sticky substance to them. They attach themselves to people, places and things, especially in homes, which hold energy as we spend so much time indoors.
All of these words are stuck on the walls of your home, like wallpaper and each of them have energy in them reflecting off of your walls. Ask yourself, what kind of energy has been created in my home”?
This article gives you steps to Bring Positive energy into your home for example:
* Create a cleansing ritual using white sage to smudge and purify each room.
* Ring a Tibetan Bell daily to cleanse and clear the energy in the home.
* Paint the walls in a room(a different colour) where you would like to completely change the energy, plus play uplifting music and as you paint.
