The aim of this week’s newsletter is to remind us to listen and be whole.

F.Y.I. – Inner Work

Deep Listening for Healing – an Aboriginal Spiritual Practice.

There are two great short videos on this page. Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Bauman talks about Dadirri and its healing powers.  One video is three minutes and the other one 6 minutes.  Both really worth watching.   It reminded me so much of mindfulness, yet practised for hundreds of years by our Aboriginal brothers and sisters.  Click Here

 We Are All One

Can a piece of land have the same rights as a person? Well New Zealand says Yes!  A national park in New Zealand has been given the rights to personhood, it has the same rights and powers as a citizen.  This will affect land rights and conservation around the world. “We believe we come from the land, and the land has its own personality, its own heartbeat, its own health and its own soul.”… Jacinta Ruru University of Otago.

In and Around the Academy

With Rosemary Butterworth

I enjoy bringing you a brief outline of the Monday Night Meeting for our regular attendees who could not make it and also for our country and overseas readers.  We are so fortunate to attract such brilliant speakers such as Godwin Vaz who spoke on Spiritual Leadership last Monday, the 5th September, and who are so willing to pass on their experiences and wisdom which can enrich us all and help us to shift and move forward in our own journey.

As  our level of consciousness expands and our awareness is increased we notice that our leaders whether in politics, schools or organisations may be stuck in old beliefs and ways that are outdated and sometimes we feel powerless to do or say anything about it.  But are we?  Are we the future leaders?  And how can that be?

On Monday Night, we broke up into small groups and when, in the group I was in, one lovely mother said, I just want to be a ‘leader’ to my children, that is all.  Being psychic I looked into her future and saw her speaking to teachers at school, talking at assemblies and meetings, not telling them what they are doing wrong, but gently guiding them from experience and her wisdom.   I shared this with her and she blossomed with the understanding.

A mother once shared with me that her son was acting as a relief teacher at a child minding centre.  He found that at one centre there was a rule that it was forbidden to shout across the room to get a child’s attention. Educators had to walk up to the child and speak quietly to him/her.  They had found that shouting can frighten the children whilst at another centre the teachers shouted, or spoke loudly to be heard above the noise.  He wanted to share his new knowledge with them for he felt it really helped the children.  By doing so he then would be acting as a Spiritual Leader.

Godwin who has been working with overseas governments and large corporations for many years, bringing new understandings to their leadership, spoke in simple, easy-to-understand language.  He spoke for the 4 stages on consciousness to Spiritual Leadership.

Stage 1 Hierarchy.  This is the stage where there is a figure head who is all powerful.  They are powerful and you feel powerless.  They know and you don’t which can leave you feeling valueless.

Stage 2. Entrepreneurial – This is a very fast, boom and crash stage.  Let’s do it now!  Without fully understanding what the consequences are.

Stage 3.  Consensus and Relationship – Peace has been created and the leader wants everyone to be happy and wants harmony and above all wants to be liked by everyone and approved of.  The Leader does not want to create conflict and this creates a stagnation as he/she has no voice to change the status quo.

Then, Godwin said, in Stage 4, there is a void that you will need to leap into, where the Leader has the opportunity to work on himself, admit the blocks, and find a way to clear the obstacles.  Having let go their fear around people not liking them, or their need for approval, they can make the changes necessary and the company/organisation can grow in the Light of the new knowledge and understanding.  There can be a dropping away of those who do not resonate with the ‘new’ changes but that is ok.  It usually means that it opens the way for others to come in who resonate with the new higher frequency.

What Godwin spoke about can be applied at all levels in the community – from family to government.

Thank you Godwin!
