Thought of the Week
Don’t hide your gifts or talents… they have been given to you that you may share them with the world.

F.Y.I.
So many of us cringe at the use of the word ‘sin’. However, the other day we were reading the ‘Keys of Enoch’ by J. J. Hurtak and came across the definition of sin which surprised all of us, so maybe its been people’s interpretation. What do you think?
SIN: ” 1. Anything that prevents the ‘living Light’ of the Infinite Mind from being ‘creatively recycled’ through the body’s vehicle.
2. The Consciousness of having a talent and not using it for the benefit of mankind.”
We love this, for us it was a complete new way of looking at sin.
Also, the prophecy that Australia will be cleansed by the element water seems to be coming true as we approach more rain on the Eastern Seaboard in March. Feel refreshed, feel renewed and rejoice in the cleansing!!!

Health tips – The value of Lentils.
This ancient food is used throughout the Middle East and the Mediterranean as a staple part of the diet. A small amount of lentils can feed an entire family. Lentils are mentioned in the Bible as the food that Jacob sold his birthright to eat.
This food is easy to assimilate, breaking down completely in the body so its nutrients can be easily absorbed. Its nutritional value is very high and should be considered when recuperating from any debilitating disease.

Affirmation – say every day.
Take three deep breaths and relax. Say:
“I am strong in myself. I am complete my Self. The joy and perfection of the universe await discovery within my inner being!”
….Affirmation for Self-Healing, J. Donald Walters (Kriyananda)

In and Around The Academy
from Rosemary Butterworth.
It is the 29th February. Why not make it a Leap Day?! A day to leap into the year and say “Yes, I Am grateful for being alive, I Am grateful that I have a body.”
This is the day you can set the intention to be more conscious of your thoughts and ‘change the radio station’ of your mind. This is the day when you can ‘wake-up’ and begin a new way of being. Change your thoughts and you change your whole life. By not listening to the repetitious thoughts; (remember Dr. Deepak Chopra says that we have about 60,000 thoughts per day and the pity of it is, that we have the same 60,000 thoughts tomorrow); by remembering to breathe consciously and do gratitude each day you change everything.
I have been practicing walking my talk and this is what has manifested. Hay House have accepted my book, How to Move Forward, Mastery of the Mind and in a few months it will be on Hay House’s web site as an E-Book. In the meantime you are welcome to purchase a printed version from the Academy for $35. As it is not on our shopping page you will need to email us for one.
Testimonials:
“Rosemary’s book has in it the best pieces of all the books I have read, but has put it in an easy to read and understandable way.” Karen K.
“I just love the book. I have put post-it notes all around the house which say “what am I thinking now”? It is amazing to find out what thoughts are going through my head.” Ema
“It gives me something I can relate to. It is very easy to read and understand. It has simple practices which I can do.” J.S.
NOTE: Next Monday Night Ann Joel is returning to the Academy but as the Rev. Ann Christine. She has become an Interfaith Minister. Let us give her a wonderful welcome in her new role. Ann has spent 11 years going to John of God, she was the first person to bring back a crystal bed from Abadiania. She is a fabulous energetic healer and will be creating a healing circle next Monday Night. Do come.

Michelle McGrath
Embracing Self Love
Michelle has just completed a 9 year process of creating the Sacred Self self-love range of 33 Alchemical oils and self-love cards.
This started in 2003 when Michelle was meditating and asked herself what she most needed. The answer was self-love. Not really understanding the implication of what this meant, she made a commitment to embrace 100% self-love. What followed was a journey into every part of her that was not in alignment with this goal…and the birthing of a range of vibrational oils that were gifts from and to the most challenging aspects of herself.
Join us to hear about this journey and also to hear about what self-love really means. Self-love – would that change anything? Or everything?
There will also be a self-love meditation and each attendee will receive a FREE sample of self-love oil to take home.
To find out more about the range check out www.sacredself.com.au www.facebook.com/SacredSelf twitter.com/sacredselftips
