THOUGHT OF THE WEEK.
“There are four questions of value in life….
What is sacred?
Of what is the spirit made?
What is worth living for, &
What is worth dying for?
The answer to each is the same…….Only Love!”
….Johnny Depp..(www.YourAwakenedSelf.com)..

FYI – Happenings…
This information has just come to us from UFO Research NSW. You might be interested to see PANE ANDOV – 2012 EXPECTED MEGA EVENT this weekend.
Pane Andov was born in Macedonia and worked as a computer specialist there before embarking on his main focus. He published a magazine called “Sixth Sense” to increase public awareness of UFOs, ancient civilizations, ET influences over humanity, top secret projects, hidden agendas of the Elite, Remote Viewing and much more. At age 7, he started exploring the top secrets of Yoga and Buddhism and felt he already knew most of this knowledge. He meditated for 6 hours a day and discovered his inner potential. His practices focused on astral projection, which enabled him to connect with ET civilizations and he still receives information from them today. He has presented at the Nexus Conference and often speaks publicly. His website is worth exploring: www.paneandov.com.
Details: Saturday 1st September 2012 1 – 5 pm At the SMSA Mitchell Theatre, 280 Pitt Street, Sydney. Cost: $20 (including refreshments)

We just LOVE TED!!! Here is another brilliant talk, this one by Pam Warhurst: How we can eat our landscapes. The talk is under 15 minutes and is a must see!
What should a community do with its unused land? Plant food, of course. With energy and humor, Pam Warhurst tells at the TEDSalon the story of how she and a growing team of volunteers came together to turn plots of unused land into communal vegetable gardens, and to change the narrative of food in their community. The movement is now spreading throughout the World. Can it work in your neighborhood?
“There’s so many people that don’t really recognize a vegetable unless it’s in a bit of plastic with an instruction packet on the top.” (Pam Warhurst)

Once in a ‘blue moon’ will actually occur on Friday evening, with its first appearance in two years. According to modern folk lore a ‘blue moon’ is the second full moon in a calendar month. The phrase “Once in a blue moon…” came from the fact that it was a rare event.

Over the last year we have been letting you know about a wonderful project to create a community Labyrinth in Centennial Park in Sydney. We were thrilled to hear that they have so far raised 60% of the half a million dollars needed to build it!
If you would like to join them at 11am on Sunday 23rd Sept in Centennial Park, where they will walk a labyrinth painted on the grass. It will be at the site of the proposed sandstone labyrinth.
If you would like to find out more about the project, other events, or how to help them complete the funding needed go to www.sydneylabyrinth.org

HEALTH TIP – Gloriosa Lily assisting major change.
Introducing the Gloriosa Lily Flower Essence for assisting major life changes – new beginnings
Properties
* Emerging from grief through the loss of a loved one or a part of inner self
* New beginnings
Gloriosa Lily is beneficial in times of major life changes, to assist with the pain of letting go part of the inner self. This could be likened to a bridging between two worlds. Whilst still having one foot in your familiar world (or way of being) the other is about to embark into an unfamiliar new world. Gloriosa Lily assists in the transition of letting go the strings attached to the past, where there may be much pain and heartache in the letting go process.
I was shown that this is likened to the time a chrysalis spends within a cocoon before it emerges as a butterfly or moth. It is a time for nurturing oneself with love. You will have the opportunity to emerge as the true beautiful Being that you are born to be.
Gloriosa Lily works with the Heart, Solar Plexus and Base chakras. It strengthens the Immune system and brings balance to the liver where anger and resentment are held, and with the kidneys where fear is held.

In and Around The Academy
With Rosemary Butterworth.
The 1st International Alphamusic Symposium was held last weekend. It was a wonderful event and the best news is that it was filmed and I am sure that John Levine will send us snippets of the film so that we can show you. I always use John Levine’s music in my healing room. Perhaps my favourites are Silence of Love and Silence of Heart. As people lie there and listen, I watch the stress leave their body. What I heard on the weekend was that the body heals itself when the mind is in Alpha frequency. (Right brain). Stress is a major cause of illness. Hayden Keys from Sydney Naturopathy presented a power-point presentation of graphs taken from his clients that measured their coritsol levels – all of which were abnormal – most from stress.
The secret is to operate (as we were designed to do) from the parasympathetic nervous system – which is virtually impossible to do while we are stressed and operating from a Beta frequency. (Left brain).
When people arrive on Monday Night at the Academy – the energy is like a caucophony of sound – it is very discordant but as I begin the meditation and I ask people to feel their feet on the floor, feel their body on the chair etc. and listen to all sounds in the room, especially John Levine’s music, they let their thoughts go, and standing there with my eyes closed, it is like everyone has gone home. It has become so still and silent, everyone is listening and that is all there is; just listening. Everyone has become One. Everyone has switched to Alpha frequency – a place where not only the body can heal – but a place where the mind can rest and you are able to connect to your Higher Self, your angels and guidance and receive clear intuitive messages.
At the Symposium, I asked people to write down a question such as ‘What is my purpose?’ etc. before the meditation and at the end, before their minds got busy, I asked them to write down the answer. Many brought through an inspiration message for themselves.
John Levine has given us a tremendous gift. He has brought through sounds that will take us out of stress. When we sit at a computer hour after hour and our body is producing adrenalin to keep going – it is wonderful to know that we only have to put on a CD and listen to it and our body will return to a state of peace and rest and therefore maintain good health.
John’s CD’s are available through the Academy website.

EMBRACING CHANGE
Deborah Shepherd
Embracing Change – the new skill of the 21st century and how you can make it work for you
“Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely” – Karen Kaiser Clark
We have all heard that the only constant in life is change, and it will happen to us whether we want it or not. The rate of change is becoming more rapid and frequent than ever before, so how we embrace it really is becoming a critical survival skill in our world today.
Change can come to us in many ways – a significant event, a feeling of being “stuck” or a desire to want more, no matter how it turns up, when it does you have no way of preventing it however, you do have a choice on either being the force behind it or to resist it, become the roadblock and experience the pressure that goes with it.
Stepping out of the familiar and especially when it is connected to our financial security can present our own sets of fears, yet it is when we allow our inner wisdom to guide us that we truly move towards the change that is right for us.
About Deborah Shepherd: Deborah continues to walk this path, after leaving her well-paid executive role a few years ago she now runs the ReAwaken centre and in particular the “Free to be Me ” program that assists others that are experiencing change, supporting them as they face into their fears and providing practical solutions to enable them to feel empowered rather than overpowered by change.

3 Ketes (Baskets) of Knowledge
Ehetere Watson
We all carry Ketes, containing gifts from the universe seeded through our lineage and we must ensure our Ketes are balanced.
Ehetere will explain how to access those baskets.
* Sometimes they contain knowledge both positive and challenging to be examined and balanced with compassion and unconditional love.
* Sometimes they contain knowledge and skills from the Past, to be shared and balanced with the experience of the Now to co-create the Future.
* Our challenge is to learn from the contents of the baskets as we walk our journey – through the lessons of love, vision, giving, sharing and joy.
* Right now the ancestors are telling us to awaken and walk our path knowing that all we ever need to know is within and the world awaits our service as we approach the Shift of Ages, so long prophesied.
Ehetere is Ngatikahungunu Heretaunga Ki Wairarapa, a much loved Maori Elder and Healer who weaves into her Mahi (work) of MiriMiri and Romiromi, ancient healing massage, elements of nature and colours from the land and the ocean. She is a member of the Sydney group of Rainbow Healers, Wahine Maoriora and past President of Maori NOW (Network of Women).
Ehetere carries the three Ketes (baskets) of Knowledge which support her work to bring harmony and balance to the Earth and all who walk upon it.
