Just for you Mandy. Start of a new year means the start of a new journey. And we all wonder where it will take us. Mandy and i have been busy doing our yearly plan and so far it is looking good as we booked into several fairs around the southwest and Geralton as well as Fremantle, so we are looking forward to meeting lots of new people and will be taking our Aura photography machine with us.Back in the circle and Vita and her guides are working hard already at progressing us along. The first Tuesday we were back together Spirit came to us to just wish us well and to let us know that they will be taking us even further on our search in the metaphysical. This week i decided to use the Indian drum instead of hands on healing. So everyone positioned themselves ready for meditation and their own journey and the drumming began. This lasted for about 20 mins and as i looked around the room Vita's guides were ready and waiting and Mandy's spirit eyes were open and she was completely relaxed.Once the meditation had been completed we waited patiently for Vita's guides to come through and the whole time you could see the energies being built up around her. There were many who wished to show their presence that evening so it was more than interesting and as they left the energy field around Vita you could see it happening in front of your eyes. brilliant is all i can say. Once Vita came out of trance and was talking to us we could still a very dominant energy around her that was not in a hurry to leave. I asked her to go back down and her reply was i cant close my eyes it is almost like they are stuck in this position. I replied you can channel with your eyes open so just go with it. In a few seconds she was down again and the spirit with her continued to share information with us which is now on tape waiting for me to scribe onto the computer. Once the channelling had finished the spirit energy was quite happy to go on its way. The experience was completely different for Vita and once again spirit are showing us her capabilities and they seem to be unlimited. This week someone else in the circle will take the turn of doing the healing with the drum and i will get to experience the wonders of meditation. My husband bought me an ipod for Xmas which has been great as i have meditations on it and am now able to relax at night time and just enjoy the journey. Sometimes as a teacher we often forget to do the simple little things for ourselves as we are constantly searching to learn more to share with our students. But this year i am going to spend more time in the meditative state....................
Tuesday was great in circle with the Mandy doing the drumming this week and once again the energies were high. Vita went into a trance and soon a gentleman named Edward came through and this appeared to be a struggle and we could not at first make out what he was saying as the words were mumbled. We listened carefully as he explained who he was and to say that he had experienced a stroke in his physical life and that is why the channel was having trouble with speaking as she was impaired the same as what he had been. This was explained to us that it was for Edward to feel what it is like to come and speak through the channel an experience for him as well as her. He would not stay in this state as he repeated it was a learning lesson. He had been passed for a long time. Although he stepped back he stayed to experience the energies until circle finished. We were also shown how to differentiate between the positive and negative energies that come to us and how to move them on if they came at a later date to the channelling. Vita then sat with many faces coming in and her body glows with light. She held her hand up to us and all we could see was light coming from it to us. An amazing experience and words cannot explain what we see fully as it is something that you have to see for yourself. The evening was ended with chanting which we find beautiful. We feel that spirit is lifting the energies to a higher level and taking Vita down to a level where we in the circle we experience new and exciting things...........
You know the more i go out teaching classes with Mandy whether it is development or healing i notice through listening to others when i ask questions about previous courses people have completed that there is a lot of information missing and they are not asking a lot of questions. You know that you do not have to take everything that is given to you for granted and that we as teachers know everything. You need to ask questions time and time again to get different points of view so that it then expands your learning as well as those that are teaching. Teachers need to be challenged as well.
We as a group are going to do a few church services this year and that is always good for us as it makes us work with others and not just ourselves all the time. I will be doing the philosophy at the services and that in itself challenges me as i don't really like talking in front of a crowd whether it is one person or twenty people. As i stand there in the front of the service and talk i never know whether it sounds like it makes sense as i do get nervous and i always trust that spirit will put the words in my mouth at the right time and place. I prefer to talk about experiences that are personal as that way i hopefully cant make mistakes. The talk usually goes for about 15mins but always seems forever. I always remember a medium i was friends with explaining to me that you should never write your philosophy down but to ask spirit to give you a word and take it from there. I did this on my very first time and the word that was given to me was challenges. I thought ok what i am going to say about that. I stood up and all of a sudden the words flowed about the greatest challenge i had taken was to be a part of this life and then went on to explain my life and how things had changed over the years and what i had gone through in my life and marriage and work etc. and how i handled them. After the service a lady came up to me to say that she had led a similar life and it gave her hope. I sometimes think and it is only my thought, that when we see people up on stage or at a service doing mediumship that life has been good to us as we don't always talk about the hard tasks that come along, being from the old school that you don't talk about what is privately happening in your home or children or work etc. But by sharing our stories we are able to help others who may be too shy to come forward and hopefully put hope and inspiration into their lives..............
Well it was our turn to do the church this week and we were all nervous. Don't know if this is where we are supposed to be as a group but hey we will give it a burl.The girls did well with messages and i did the philosophy which makes me so nervous and i get tight in the chest. Mandy was feeling sick and ended up with a migraine, Gloria was struggling with her own stuff and Vita she just got up and did it.
I talked about the journey and as i say many times people need to learn as much as they can as it is in their journey, but in saying that i went and saw a psychic who was on stage near where i live and have to say was very disappointed as in an hour and a half only gave 4 messages and they took such a long time and i seriously think this is because she was tuned in enough and the vibrations were not high enough.
But i learn something every time that will hopefully make me better at what i wish to achieve in my own development.
There is also huge fires in our eastern coast and it would be great if people would sent their healing as Melbourne has had lots of small towns burnt out many people have lost their lives. listening to the radio people are saying why has God done this to us but what they need to understand is that man did this not God. One lady was saying how can i go to church and pray when things like this happen. What this person does not realise is that we need to pray to help with the healing of such a tragedy as it will like the twin towers and many other acts of disasters is that it takes many days, months and for some years to heal from events like this. So please, please don't lose faith instead strengthen your faith so that healing takes place.
Wow is all i can say. This week i made an Indian drum and i felt different the whole time we were doing the workshop. You know that the teacher comes when the student is ready and how true is this. I have been wanting to do this for years and a couple of times it was to be set to do and plans went astray with lack of communications. Mandy and I met Glen and decided that we would like for him to share the experience of making the drum. There were 3 of us doing the course on Wednesday and it took most of the day. We were cleansed and taken through the most wonderful journey in meditation and don't know what it is about the drum but it makes things really come alive for me. I now know why making your drum is so much better than purchasing one as you really become apart of it and you get your own rhythm as you do the strings and bring it all together. I seemed to be in the silence most of the day only speaking (which is unusual for me) when i needed to know something. I became one with what i was doing and this gave me a sense of calm almost like i was complete and doing the tightening of the string (that is what i called it ) it came natural after the first couple of goes and as i say then things just flowed as i went around the drum about three times tightening and stretching. The rain was coming down on the day so we were able to leave the skins out on the grass so they could become one with Mother Earth. I am so pleased to be able to have completed this and am looking forward to doing the drum journey now as i feel it will take me to a new level and know that i will enjoy sharing my drum/music with others and hopefully they will get the same benefits and enjoyment as me. Mandy i will be taking our drums to geraldton next week when we go to do a psychic fair..........................
My meditation through this experience was seeing and Indian village with many of the tribe there. An Indian on a horse was just amusing himself and enjoying the time with his horse, elders of the tribe were sitting around the fire and discussing life and enjoying the moment and i could actually see the smoke as if it was real rising up from out of the flames, the women were at the waters edge washing the clothes whilst the children were splashing freely in the water. As this was taking place the water running towards me was actually giving me a message which i thought wow it just gets better. Also just before starting the meditation i could see an aboriginal standing next to glen and then in came a dingo which i thought was strange seeing this was about Indians but maybe it is the two coming together as one and that we are all the same and believe in the same things and at the end of day it is what we learn and become apart of and that day we were apart of Mother Earth and everything that we have received from her from generation to generation. Will be interesting to see what the others feel and see when they do their workshop on Saturday...........
Went to Geraldton to do a psychic fair at the weekend and that is always interesting as you meet many people and many psychics of all different calibre. I love going to Geraldton as the retreat we stay at is so relaxing and the owners are really loving people who give from the heart. They always make us feel welcomed and we always have a good laugh which is good for the soul of course and laugh we did.
Mandy and i had our Tibetan order come the day before so that made Mandy jump through hoops as she gets so excited when deliveries of goods come our way. We sold a few of our products (books, soaps, candles, oils, Tibetan singing bowls and bells), and of course our aura machines and we do readings and sometimes just interpret ions with the many pages that print out. That was interesting as i had a gentleman come for the aura/chakra report and i don't know if i was tired or just struggling but it seemed that every time i interpreted for him the answer was no that is not me, his wife then came over and when i said a couple of things she agreed that it was what he was like. So the lesson here i feel was for me and not to take it all on board as i do lose my confidence from time to time, but i know that this will happen not only now but also in the future when i do readings or report and this is for me personally to learn from, also keeps the ego in check. Mandy got to do a couple of readings on the mediums/psychics there and did very well and they were very pleased with their readings. We also enjoyed the evenings as we took our drums and did some work with them and used the singing bowls and how great were they. In the evenings when we were not tired we sat under the night sky, played our drums and played games and making shadows with our hands and oh how we laughed as it was so much fun. We sometimes forget the simple things in life are the most pleasurable. Watching the readers at work allows me to learn from them.
Monday night at circle we had some new people come along to learn to develop and that was great as i am finding that the energies are just great and they are a nice lot of people who love to laugh. We were doing healing and when one of the ladies got up to give me healing the others could see a spirit lady sitting in the chair next to me so that made them all excited but also a lesson for them, Tuesday night circle we decided that we would do a regression on Gloria and as i am taking her down noticed that Vita was relaxing to easily, so had to get Mandy to watch her and as i preparing Gloria and asking her do certain things, Vita was also doing them. We kept and eye on Vita until the regression was finished and allowed Vita's guides to come through and that was enlightening and then a gentleman by the name of Mark came in. He had passed from a heart attack at the age of 50 and was very jolly and overweight. He made us laugh as we asked questions and he answered. Once he had left and gone back into the light a little boy came through and told us his name was Johnny and he had come with his grandmother and told us how he played in the spirit world and that he had just popped in to see what we were about. No wonder we love this work as it is always interesting. Mark had said before he left us that we he loved to play and that we would know he had been around us and the next day when i woke up i could not find one of my earrings and could not remember being aware that i had it taken from my ear. I looked everywhere in the bedroom and then went to the healing room where circle was held and low and behold there where Vita had been sitting was my earring. Was it Marc or just a coincidence?.......
Mandy and i did a fair in Rockingham on a Sunday and it was a very busy day for us as the people came from opening time till closing and so for us we learnt lots from those that came. We had also done a church service a couple of days before that and Gloria fell ill so it was Mandy, Vita and myself. We were very nervous and i did the prayers and the philosophy and then after some tempting Vita stood up and gave proof of survival to a couple of people and then i decided i should be upstanding and have my turn. I had a lady who came through and she certainly had a lot to say for herself and her family and they finally got the answer that they had been waiting for. Next it was Mandy's turn and she was a bit worried as she went to one person with proof of survival but the message came through via this person to lady next to her. We always feel that we don't have anything in the way of messages when we are doing the service but spirit never let us down thank goodness. One lady came up and thanked us for the philosophy as it really resonated with her and then others thanked us for bringing through good proof of those who had passed over. So all in all it turned out to be a good night but it was really the people who attended the service as they were so friendly and the energy warm and inviting. We are going back there later in the year and we are looking forward to it.
Last Tuesday we did our drum journey with Glen and it was a great night with the meditation journey and the naming of our drum and our totems came through nice and clear. We were given a chant to use so Mandy and i are going to put it to good use this week when she comes to capel as we have a stall at the capel fest on Sunday. Vita's guide came and gave us a short message on the drumming and Glen was so impressed that he asked if he could experience the channeling one Tuesday night for the full session. We have welcomed him back to share and learn what we have to offer.
Since we have been getting busy Robert is starting to take us more seriously and knows now that we after all these years have something to share with those willing to learn. People are opening up more down here and have quite a few coming to the circle on a Monday night and also on the Tuesday morning. There does not seem to be many out there teaching at the moment or if they are they are in hiding. Kylie's circle is going well which is good nice to see younger ones teaching and there seems to be a few males out there who are not frightened to step out and join us ladies.
Poor Robert is not well at the moment he has had some serious health issues over the last 12 months. Does not help when the other night he went to cook some sausages and instead of using the can of oil spray he accidentally used the fly spray so there went the sausages in the bin. Made for a good laugh though....................
Mandy i just spent three days experiencing the Fairbridge Festival in Pinjarra and it was a great weekend. We had a stall there selling our wares and just experiencing a different atmosphere. We had our stall next to a really nice guy who was selling colourful pants and across from us was the happy herb shop and the fairy shop and they were very busy doing henna tattoos and hair as they were definitely in touch with themselves and the universe and they just had that dread lock look and the clothes that went with it so for me it was a real eye opener and wished i was 30 years younger as i loved the look. Mandy thought she would like dreadies but that would cause a shock amongst family and Friends they would have thought she had lost her marbles (mind). It was a real family weekend as there were lots of bands playing at different venues all over the fair, lots of food stalls from different cultures and many different stalls selling their wares. Fairbridge farm was in the early days a home for migrant children from England during the war, so the housing there is very historic. I remember going there when i was younger (a lot younger) as my ex in laws lived there. This weekend was defiantly about kids as they were all busking in the streets the best way they knew how and making all sorts of things at the workshops that were held for them and then at night time they would get together with some of the adults and play instruments made from recyclable items so it was a good sound and a nice way to end the day. There was also a guy who was on stilts who had a dog ( a guy in a costume) who would go round peeing on everyone whilst his owner played the bag pipes. I think Mandy and would like to be gypsies as we would enjoy the carefree lifestyle. But at the moment we have lots to do and accomplish in a short period of time and i don't know why we do that to ourselves as it does put the pressure on. Tomorrow for me it is unpacking the car and when Mandy comes on Thursday we have to wash all the dust of everything as my god i think i dusted our stall more times in three days than i have my house in twelve months. Must go to bed now as am a bit knackered and i have to be organised as i have an exchange student coming from Japan at the weekend and am looking forward to meeting her and sharing our house and family with her.
