Thought of the Week:
Expect the best:
Convert problems into opportunities:
Be dissatisfied with the status quo:
Focus on where you want to go instead of where you’re coming from
and most importantly, decide to be happy,
knowing it is an attitude, a habit gained from daily practice,
and not a result or payoff.

FYI – Creating a Better Place
We have found another amazing talk on TED! This is only about 18 minutes and it is well worth it. It fills you with hope! “The recent generations have been bathed in connecting technology from birth, says futurist Don Tapscott, and as a result the world is transforming into one that is far more open and transparent. In this inspiring talk, he lists the four core principles that show how this open world can be a far better place.” Click here to view.
CREATING A BETTER PLACE IN THE HOME AND AT SCHOOL.
For all of those students about to start study and exams think about this….students enjoy using this music as a study aid, insisting that Silence of Peace quiets the mind and makes it easier to focus, absorb and retain information.
If the children seem to be ‘ruling the house’ people have found that John Levine’s Alphamusic, Silence of Peace is the answer. It has been proven to help calm down babies and to help children sit still at the table and eat their dinner.
“I think it is a real blessing to play this music”, says one man, “After a stressful day when I do play Levine’s Alphamusic, I do feel that the stress becomes more manageable and at home the agitation is reduced and everything seems fine. I encourage everyone to try and see what this music can offer you and your family.”
Alphamusic is available through the Academy.
ALSO, remember you can clear negative thoughts and vibrations in the home by using incense, sprays and SOUND particularly MOZART or VIVALDI.

HEALTH TIP –Creating More Energy
By Julia Griffin 
Monday, July 2nd, 2012
Our bodies need energy just as our spiritual body needs meditation and light.
Every grocery shop is filled with energy drinks, which provide a burst of chemicals and preservatives. Many foods – such as GMO grains or meat – deplete the body.
When our physical body is properly energized, we avoid issues such as allergic reactions, suppressed immune system responses and tiredness. Vitality is necessary to move joyfully through life.
Here are few methods of energizing the body:
1) Stand on magnets and breathe for ten minutes.
Deep breathing calms and energizes the body with prana. Magnets stimulate the bone marrow, red corpuscles and chi (life force) in the body.
2) Visualize perfect health, energy and physical vitality several times each day. Hold the image when you look into the mirror. (Expect to like your image.) Visualize a youthful appearance.
3) Eat organic products whenever possible, particularly dairy and meat.
Conventionally raised cattle, sheep and pigs are bred for obesity genetics. Chemicals are added to their diet to increase appetite. Dairy products contain hormones, which can be harmful. (All of these factors cause weight gain.) Try goat products if you can’t tolerate dairy.
4) Combine foods wisely.
Don’t eat meat, cheese and pasta at the same meal. Add raw foods to meals with high protein.
5) Avoid wheat and corn.
It’s impossible to avoid cross-pollination of big crops. Everything’s contaminated. Limit intake of bread, corn, pasta, etc. Choose rice, quinoa or oats for grains.
6) When you eat well or exercise, compliment yourself.
Notice your strength and peace of mind.
7) Avoid preservatives.
If you can’t pronounce it or don’t know what it is, avoid it. Limit processed food – even organic potato chips or chips. They’re not good for you!
8) Use green drinks to clear cravings.
I like one head of celery hearts, 3 cucumbers and one handful of parsley. The vegetables clean the blood and cucumbers are said to prevent aging.
9) Try a “simple” or single herb to build health.
Dandelion, mullein or alfalfa are examples. (This is not medical or herbal advice. I recommend googling “simples” and “herbs.” Herbs are rich in trace minerals and vitamins.)
10) Grow a tomato or pepper plant.
It’s better than any food in a shop and can fit into landscaping.
11) Cook three or four vegetables several times each week in large batches.
It’s easier to eat them when they’re already prepared.
12) Spend time outdoors every day, noticing the beauty of nature and the loveliness of life.

In and Around The Academy
With Rosemary Butterworth
With so many wonderful courses around these days, it amazes me sometimes that the volume of stress is so high. But then the pressures of life have grown with our workload and cost of living. So what to do about it.
I have written a book and called How to Move Forward and this week I am including the first chapter as the monthly attachment. See if you like it and let it help you notice what thoughts you are having on a daily basis that are stressful. Remember it is our thoughts about our day that create tension in our body and cause adrenalin to be pumped through our veins. It is not the actual situation but resistance to it being that way. So click here if you would like to read more. I have found it a wonderful help to removing stress.

THE CRYSTALLINE LIGHT BODY IS THE NEXT VEHICLE IN OUR EVOLUTIONARY PROGRESS.
In 2007 Kathleen was given the information over an 18 month period about the Crystalline Light body.
NOW IS THE TIME TO BRING IT THROUGH.
Kathleen says “It is my wish to share what has been given to me, with the same love and guidance, to uplift from the heart with understanding makes my heart sing”.
Come along ….
* find out how the Crystalline Body works and where our DNA fits into it.
* the relationship of Mother Earth and us and how we are all connected within this
* how do the elements, the tree of life and flower of life incorporate into the divine template of our being.
Kathleen has been unlocking the gateways around the world for humanity’s and earth’s higher evolution using the knowledge she has been given. At the same time she has been directed on her path to bring in the knowledge of the Crystalline Light Body and beyond.
Kathleen has also been called to do what she calls Tasks that started in 2005. In 2007 this took her overseas to do the same, the 1st of which lead her to Mt Shasta in California, where she connected to a crystal skull that gave her the keys to the 7 Sacred Sites of Mother Earth.
Kathleen Bryant is a Spiritual Intuitive, Medium and a healer of emotions and past lives.
She also has recently started another form of healing called Touch Healing, guided by a Blue Angel. Kathleen has taught Spiritual Psychic Development classes and Meditation on and off for the past 8 years and is a regular guest speaker at the Spiritual Church on the Central Coast of NSW.
