FYI – Exciting News…. for the world.

Robbie Holz (author of Secrets of Aboriginal Healing) writes….

“I’m so pumped and actually in tears. I just received notice I am a 2012 Nautilus Silver Award Winner for my book in the Health and Wellness category.  This is one of the most prestigious book awards.  I’ll be going to New York City the first week of June to accept the award.

I’m also still a finalist in the Foreward Review Book Award in the Mind/Body/Spirit Section out of over 900 publishers and 1200 entries.  The winners for that will be announced in CA the end of June. So keep your fingers crossed for that.

There’s still 3 more book awards out there yet that will be announced in the next few months, so the ride may get even more exciting.

Through these awards, my book will be promoted at the NY Book Expo, London Book Expo and American Librarian Expo.  So now we will be promoting the book on a third continent (Rosemary/The Southern Cross Academy of Light  has Australian distribution.)
Hands move from up in the air in an arm-extended Whee position to a prayer pose of deep gratitude and humility in getting this healing book in many, many hands across the globe.
Thanks for joining me on this exciting journey and the part you played. ”
Love,
Robbie

Health Tip – Caffeine has the power to signal what is, for some, fat storage.

Caffeine acts on your adrenal glands by stimulating the production of adrenalin.  When adrenalin is released, your blood sugar elevates to provide more energy, your blood pressure and pulse rate rise to provide more oxygen to your muscles, your pupils dilate to see more in less light, your immune function stops firing, blood is diverted away from digestion and reproductive functions are down-regulated away from digestion and reproductive functions.

So consider your caffeine habits and get honest with yourself about how it affects you.  Does it dull your appetite and so subconsciously you grab a coffee instead of eating?  Does it make your heart race, give you the shakes, or loosen your bowels?  Does it elevate your blood pressure?  Or does it nourish your soul with no ill effect whatsoever.  You know yourself better than anyone.  Act on what you know is true for you.

So many of us run on adrenalin.  Moment to moment, day to day, it’s like a light switch has gone one, and it hasn’t entirely switched off for a really long time.  Sometimes it is the pace at which we live our lives.  Part of the challenge, however, is that once your body perceives that the stress has become long-term, your dominant stress hormone begins to change. Cortisol is your long-term stress hormone.

……Read all the about the effects to the body of Cortisol in Accidentally Overweight…….by Dr. Libby Weaver….and much more.  $24.99 plus $10 postage.

In and Around The Academy

from Rosemary Butterworth.

Monday night was a inspiring, wonderful night.  39 people turned up to spread the Light throughout Sydney and the world and  we all loved Rachelle Sewell’s Resonate Essences.

John and I went to the Affinity Network’s function, Wisdom of the Elders’ what a wonderful night it was.  It began with a gonging segment (4 people gonging) followed by the wonderful music of Vicki Hansen and Ron Ragel of Affinity Network.  Vicki had chosen a delightful 15 minute film called Love, about an Experiment/competition performed in Stanford University where about a half a dozen people ranging from 10 to 75 years old were invited to go into an MRI and focus on loving to see  whose brain registered the highest response.  The 75 year old won with the 10 year old coming 2nd!!!  We had an interval of half an hour and were invited to have a hot cup of Chai and a scrumptous piece of home made cake or brownie.  Yum.  I was honoured and included with the Elders and had the privilege of sitting beside a loving Moari Elder who I would love to speak at the Academy one night.

Watch out for the next function they have.  We will let you know as soon as we have a date. It is to be held again at the Chapel By the Sea.

A lady this week, said to me:  “Rosemary, the Academy has a flame, people come and light their flame from it and go home with it and spread the Light.”
That is what we do!   So come when you can, light your candle and together we spread the Light.  We are a Community of Light.

NLP for the Soul

With Christine Bannigan

Christine will chat with you about some of her interesting spiritual experiences.
She will also take you through a channelled process for finding more freedom.

Christine has been practicing NLP for twelve years, and has been instrumental in helping many people release entrenched patterns of fear, depression and resignation.  Along the way, Christine has also healed herself of cancer and written two books – ‘Contract to Live’ and ‘The Blossoming Heart’ both of which are available through The Academy (academyoflight.net.au/products-page/books/ ).

Her work can be poignant and direct, awakening clients to the subconscious limiting imprints defining their lives. Conversely, it may be so subtle that the person is not immediately aware of the lock that has been broken, that is until they start to experience an unexplained sense of freedom.  Either way, the transformational energies hone in on the deepest layers of being, unravelling embedded beliefs and behaviours that have kept us in an emotional gridlock far too long.

Christine encourages you to “be yourself, not your programs,” and through her private coaching sessions, channelling, workshops and books, she supports you to embrace your divine potential.

“Enlightened Children, Enlightened Families“
with Nathan Star

Tonight Nathan will…
– explore the topic of children as the enlightened beings in our lives who are here to impart great wisdom with us.
– provide some practical advice for parenting sensitive children
– reconnect with your own inner child to see the world through innocent and loving eyes

As many of us will be the next generation’s teachers and guides, it is important that the topic of children be explored. We are all forever children of the Light experiencing a physical lifetime.

Sometimes we  do not realise how sensitive and tuned in children are to the metaphysical and spiritual world. By the time children reach 8 or 9 years old, they have already forgotten about this special connection. Many of us have been taught to dismiss these things as unnatural or just part of the imagination, however everyone is born this way with access to a greater source of wisdom and these wonderful gifts.Nathan Star is a Clairvoyant Healer, Primary School Teacher and a self-publishing author. Nathan conducts Clairvoyant Healing sessions and workshops for children and adults of all ages and is passionate about empowering them to live in harmony with themselves and the world through a healthy mind, body, and spirit. www.nathanstar.com

Guided Imagery and Music

With Louise Terry-Clark (RMT)

Want someone to talk to? Enjoy music?
Louise Terry-Clark has 10 years experience as a registered therapist and is now offering a beautiful method of discovering the inner self, via Guided Imagery and Music (GIM).
The Bonny method of Guided Imagery and Music is a music-oriented exploration of consciousness. It offers persons the opportunity to integrate spiritual, emotional, mental and physical aspects of well-being as well as awaken to a greater transcendent identification. Specifically sequenced music programs are used to stimulate a dynamic unfolding of inner experiences. A dialogue between therapist (guide) and client (traveller) enhances this rich experience.
Guided Imagery and Music can support self discovery, spiritual development, trauma, grief and loss, relationships, post cancer support and much more.
As Louise is in her final year of Post Graduate study (Guided Imagery and Music) 90 minute sessions are offered at a reduced cost of $30. First session is offered free of charge, so those interested can trial this method.
