Why you are worthy to shift into New Dimensions?

With Jude Tasker

In our conscious mind we all have wishes, desires and goals. Unfortunately, our subconscious (SC) mind often has an opposing or sabotaging belief that may prevent us from achieving them.
During her session, Jude will facilitate a process that will engage you with your SC mind and help you achieve what you want or desire.
To really benefit from Jude’s session, she invites you to think of a personal well-being goal that you’d like to work on during the session. For example, you may want to be healthier or get fit, improve personal relationships, have a sense of purpose, feel more financially secure.
Jude Tasker established Breaking the Iceberg after qualifying as a PSYCH-K^® facilitator so she could provide PSYCH-K services to individuals and to workplaces. She uses the process to help people change negative limiting beliefs into positive empowering ones.
PSYCH-K is a straight-forward process that helps change limiting beliefs at the subconscious level allowing you to create and live the life you want. PSYCH-K also:

• reduces stress and releases trauma
• helps discover the messages and beliefs behind disease, illness, allergies and phobias (for example, fear of flying or speaking in front of groups)
• helps deal with grief and loss, and
• helps change any of the negative childhood baggage we may be carrying around that affects our self-esteem, confidence, self-love, acceptance and worthiness – that is often at the very core of issues.

Please bring pen and paper.

CHANNELLED HEALING

With Delphine  Kuiken

Connecting with the Source of your Being – accessing the Higher Dimensions of you

We are here to live in the human dimension. It is what we have chosen to do with purpose. While we are never detached from our Source, we ‘forget’ our attachment to this higher dimension in order to pursue a human life.  From childhood we are taught and conditioned to seek information from outside ourselves; from books, leaders, belief systems. Many of us are aware that there is ‘something else’ greater than us but it is easier for us to accept information and follow processes created by others than to seek within and trust ourselves. So, in our pursuit to find the ‘big answers to life’ we turn to religions and the scholarly and the guidelines they have created.  We readily accept and assume other people have the answers or greater wisdom but we resist accepting or understanding that all the knowledge we seek is within.
We are always connected to our Source/the Higher Dimension. The information we seek is always available to us. We need to trust this and be reminded of ways we have to receive it.
Delphine will introduce you to a couple of simple ways to reconnect to your higher source of information through writing and intuitive connection with the energy body. She will invite you to experience both of these on these evening.
Please bring paper and pen with you so you can participate in this session

During her healing sessions, Delphine connects to her Higher Source and that of the client. Her healing sessions are very powerful providing healing, clairvoyance, higher guidance and clarity for clients. |
“I work with clients to help them heal themselves in connection with the Highest Source of all they are.”
Clients are also given some channelled written information to take with them after the session. Delphine is also a keen teacher for others who are interested in expanding their own intuitive clairvoyance and healing abilities and for this she offers regular and casual small group workshops and channelled meditation sessions.

In and Around the Academy

with Ari Porter  Monday,6th March, 2017

Well I thought we were going to have a problem last night – too much talent and not enough time – but I underestimated the time bending abilities of our divine musicians who were able to display their individual talents as well as support each other while blending a broad mix of cultures and instruments. We started from India, as Ellie opened with a beautiful recitation of  the Maha Mahamrityunjaya Mantra. If you would like to learn the words and meaning here is a link to one version ( though I like Ellie’s more ). Next Paulien took us over the water to a channelled Native American chant and drumming, that got my Indian Guide fired up. Then Marc kicked in with his yidaki / didge accompanied by Pauline and Joe’s toning. Marc is a master of his craft with overtones and pulses that he maintained while Suntara joined with his Earth tones and drum, which he continued by himself. While most people lay to soak up the vibes, it affected me so strongly I had to sit up and move to the message that was being delivered. Suntara then bought us down gently with the flute in preparation for John’s gong bath. It wouldn’t be an AOL sound nite without the blessing of John’s Tibetan gongs and leading us in a heart felt close as we sang together holding hands.

Thankyou so much to the artists that shared their gifts with us, and if you would like to hear more, see

HEALTH TIP – 9 Benefits of Lemon Balm

by Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFM

Lemon balm has earned a reputation for being a potent health-supporting tool. The name ‘lemon balm’ is attributed to its noticeable lemony scent. While the plant’s reputed effect on vigor and longevity have certainly contributed to its popularity, scientific studies have only served to reinforce its reputation. Here are 10 benefits lemon balm users enjoy.

1. Calms the Mind
Lemon balm has been used for centuries as a popular oil in aromatherapy. It is said that the pure, sweet aroma of the oil promotes a feeling of relaxation and calm. Most sweet oils are said to provide the same benefit. Look for a pure lemon balm essential oil if you are thinking about using the herb in your aromatherapy practice. Lemon balm oil is the oil that has been carefully pressed from the flowers of the lemon balm plant.
2. Encourages Restful Sleep
Lemon balm also encourages a more restful sleep, according to some research. Parents of the children in the German study reported their children slept more peacefully throughout the night after supplementation. A placebo-controlled trial found menopausal women suffering with sleep disruptions reported much better sleep after taking a lemon balm/valerian extract compared to those taking the placebo.
3. Makes Skin Look Years Younger
Lemon balm is still frequently featured in many cosmetics for its soothing effect on the skin. The first cosmetic use of lemon balm goes back to the 1300s when the Queen of Hungary used it to erase the years (and reportedly the wrinkles). It’s still recommended for soothing the skin and reducing fine lines.
4. Boosts Alertness
Although lemon balm calms the mind, it certainly doesn’t dull the mind. An Australian study noted improved alertness in participants supplementing with the herb in addition to feelings of calm and an improved, more positive mood.
5. Sharpens Memory and Problem Solving
Studies like the one above have observed improved memory and problem-solving in test subjects regardless of age after taking lemon balm. Young or old, those taking lemon balm show improvements in problem-solving skills and recall.
Though preliminary, patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease have seen improvements based on several recent studies. In one Chinese study eugenol, a powerful antioxidant found in lemon balm, and acupuncture helped test subjects recover memory-related functions.
Another study noted lemon balm suppresses brain chemical acetylcholinesterase which breaks down the brain-signalling chemical acetylcholine which is responsible for memory and thought.  This action helps stimulate and support memory and mood.
6. Powerful Antioxidant
Lemon balm is loaded with antioxidants that keep your cells safe from free radical damage. Studies on eugenol and rosmarinic acid show they support a healthy brain. Other significant antioxidants include ferulic, caffeic acids, and quercetin. Quercetin specifically is known as a powerful compound.
7. Supports the Liver
The liver clears toxins from the body, so keeping it healthy means keeping your entire body healthy. Over time, the process of detoxification can wear down the liver and lead to liver damage. This is especially true if you are eating a diet that is less than ideal. In one trial using animal models, lemon balm proved as effective as a liver drug in protecting the organ from the damaging effects caused by toxins.  It also supports the liver’s production of two of the human body’s natural antioxidants: glutathione and superoxide dismutase.
8. Supports Normal Blood Sugar
Many herbs that support antioxidant levels also help balance blood sugar. Although research is limited on lemon balm’s effect on blood sugar, one study has shown that, when taken consistently, it does promote stable blood sugar and reduces insulin resistance. Based on the research so far, lemon balm appears to have a positive influence on blood sugar.
9. Protects Brain Cells
Beyond the positive effect on memory, thinking, and calmness, research suggests lemon balm protects the physical brain from damage. Eugenol neutralizes free radicals before they can attack brain cells.  Rosmarinic acid, another key compound in lemon balm, has shown promise in the treatment of stroke victims. Research with animal models shows that given shortly after a stroke, lemon balm appears to protect areas of the brain against damage.
One Final Thought
Lemon balm can be taken as a tea or as a supplement. The most potent comes from its extracted form. Whether you choose to take lemon balm as a tea or in a supplement, make sure to check the quality of your source. For the best effect, it should be organic.  Click here to read more.

ULURU/KATA TJUTA

Bridge of Rainbow Light

Sacred Connection Journey

13-18 May 2017

Is your heart calling you to connect deeply with the Earth, the Star Ancestors and the purity of sacred sites? There’s been a deep calling for many of us to be physically present in sacred sites, sharing our energy and reconnecting to truths that are stored within the Earth.

This magical journey is a sacred gathering of only 8 women (including me), where we work with the Star Ancestors to restore unity, connection, wisdom and truth within each of us. We’ll gather with great respect for the sacred sites of Uluru and Kata Tjuta, and attune to the teachings they have to offer us. It is so much more than just a sight-seeing journey. The sacred healing container is already activated and will support you in recalibrating your vibration long before we depart. It’s a hugely transformational experience, that aligns multi-dimensional truths with ancient Earth wisdom. We’ll attune to and activate new codes of Unity Consciousness and re-pattern our energy bodies to carry this out into the world.

If you feel drawn to join us, I’d love to hear from you! There are currently only a few places left, so please be in touch soon. All the details are here:
