Energy Reading for June

June will bring a lot to think about. If there are areas in your life that need your attention, this month's energy will bring these areas to the surface and you will be able to focus on them. It's a good time to make some changes in your life especially if you are unhappy about things and have been very unhappy for some time. June's energy vibration permeates all possibilities towards making positive choices.

Given the current vibration it's a great time to make plans for the future. You can re-think much clearer this month so if there are things you are unsure of, take some time out to re-think those through. Remember, if in doubt simply chuck it out!

The work or study, or even retired environment will be a bit of a muchness in June (there will be good days as well as bad ones) with most days fairing somewhere in the middle. It's a good time to take leave. The Queen's birthday holiday long weekend will be a good chance to relax and sleep in.

Aside from the worldwide concerns about the swine flu, this month's energy vibration will actually have a positive effect on our health even if it seems it may not. You are more likely to make improvements with your health. The potentials are good for using your willpower too.

Financially there isn't a lot happening this month. You might decide to spend a lot of money or spend very little with the middle ground being that you pay for what you need and not much more than that. Maybe a birthday gift or a new pair of jeans for yourself. Living comfortably is our main focus so depending on your lifestyle will depend on how your budget flows this month.

Relationships will have a higher vibe and it's a good time to get friends and family together, even though we are experiencing the first month of our winter season here in Australia. No matter where you are in the world, it's a good time to get people together. Good news for people having a birthday in June.

It's important to have a good healthy balance around who we are. Do our actions mirror our thoughts? Do our surroundings reflect how we feel? Spend a little time with yourself and look deeply at any areas in your life that don't fit harmoniously.

Love and Light to You

Book Review – Divination For Beginners

by Scott Cunningham

Discover the techniques that Work for You

Scott Cunningham practiced magic actively for over twenty years. He was the author of more than fifty books covering both fiction and non-fiction subject matter; sixteen of his titles are published by Llewellyn Publications. Scott's books reflect a broad range of interests within the New Age sphere, where he was very highly regarded. He passed from this life on March 28, 1993, after a long illness.

In his book, Divination For Beginners he teaches the real value of divination is in the planning and prevention. If you like the answers you receive, continue on. If it looks like trouble ahead, adjust your course of action and see how your new plan affects the outcome. In this way you can use divination to fine tune your future and start living the life you've always dreamed of!

"If you are wanting to learn more about divination tools and what these are and how to use them this book is great." - Michael Gillard

The Hidden Meaning of Money

Though anyone with desire and persistence can reap the money they want, it's important to ask whether getting what we want will make us happy. There are two sure ways a soul is lost in the world; one is to lose your heart's true desire and the other is to gain it back. If we look deeper, spiritually aside, happiness isn't dependent on getting what we want. Happiness brings greatness into the life and greatness does wonderful things in anyone's life.

Many people compare happiness with security, so they want money which they also compare to security. However the security money buys in an illusion, an earthly conquer. The physical world, including everything we can buy to secure our future only provides the appearance of security.

Every moment is a gift, we are not guaranteed more than what we have already had and there is no enduring safety in the physical world. Security is in our faith and it is not in what we have, rather than what we believe. Faith we can handle whatever comes our way and the Universe will help us, always. Our belief is our safety, it brings to us the safety we need. Money is an arbitrary figure in the equation. We need to believe all is well, this faith is the most meaningful and most important security and it can't be measured in dollars.

For most of us with every ounce of wealth comes a pound of worry of losing that wealth. The fear behind not having that wealth is very real for that person although it may appear that the person is humble and satisfied. Barriers around self respect and a genuine sense of importance build.

Profound individuals understand that the respect they gain isn't earned or based on anything of importance and so feels shallow and empty. Respect for yourself, which comes from within is the only way to guarantee a genuine, long lasting feeling of importance. Once you truly love yourself, you can flow through your life without setting up barriers.

Abundance is about more and an abstract "better". However, often better is newer, bigger and more expensive. What is really better? There is nothing we can buy that will give us permanent feelings of satisfaction. Think about it; has any possession you've longed for, once gotten, provided lasting joy? Happiness comes when we want what we have, not when we get what we want. Truly experiencing this moment is where happiness begins.

While money is important so is everything else, especially you. If you're not going to be happy being poorer, you're not going to be happy being rich. Finding your purpose and being that will bring more happiness than you ever thought possible. Living a life of integrity simply doing good, even when nobody is watching is being humble and satisfied.

Health and Lifestyle

Healthy Cooking

Healthy cooking is easy and you don't have to give up the things you like to eat. In many cases, your favourite recipes can be modified so they offer a healthier alternative. Non-stick cookware can be used to reduce the need for cooking oil. To keep valuable nutrients, microwave or steam your vegetables instead of boiling them.

It’s a good idea to minimise the hidden fats by choosing lean meats and reduced fat dairy products. Processed foods can also have lots of hidden fats. Dietary fats are best when they come from the unrefined natural fats found in nuts, seeds, fish, soy, olives and avocado. Fat from these foods includes the essential long-chain fatty acids and this fat is accompanied by other good nutrients. If you add fats when cooking, keep them to a minimum and use monounsaturated oils such as olive and canola oil. A little added oil can be a good thing.

Low fat cooking begins when you are shopping. A few tips to help you; choose the low fat version of a food if it exists for instance, milk, cheese, yoghurt, salad dressings and gravy. Choose leaner meat cuts. If unsure, look for the Heart Foundation tick of approval and choose skinless chicken breasts instead of chicken with the skin on.

Here are a few suggestions on healthy cooking methods; steam, bake, grill, braise, boil or microwave your foods. Modify or eliminate recipes that include butter or ask you to deep fry or saute in animal fat. Avoid using oils and butter as lubricants. Use non-stick cookware instead. Don’t add salt to food as it is cooking. Remove chicken skin, which is high in fat. Eat more fresh vegetables and eat more fish, which is high in protein, low in fats and loaded with essential omega-3 fatty acids.

If you need to use oil, try cooking sprays or apply oil with a pastry brush. Cook in liquids (such as stock, wine, lemon juice, fruit juice, vinegar or water) instead of oil. When a recipe calls for cream as a thickener, use low fat yoghurt, low fat soy milk, evaporated skim milk or cornstarch. When browning vegetables, put them in a hot pan then spray with oil, rather than adding the oil first to the pan. This reduces the amount of oil that vegetables (such as mushrooms) can absorb during cooking.

An alternative to browning vegetables by pan-frying is to cook them first in the microwave, then crisp them under the griller for a minute or two. When serving meat and fish, use pesto, salsas, chutneys and vinegars in place of sour creams, butter and creamy sauces. Water soluble vitamins are delicate and easily destroyed during preparation and cooking. Scrub vegetables rather than peel them, as many nutrients are found close to the skin. Microwave or steam vegetables instead of boiling them.

If you like to boil vegetables, use a small amount of water and do not over-boil them. Include more stir-fry recipes in your diet. Stir-fried vegetables are cooked quickly to retain their crunch (and associated nutrients).

Cutting out salt! Salt is a traditional flavour enhancer, but research suggests that a high salt diet could contribute to a range of health problems including high blood pressure. Don’t automatically add salt to your food – taste it first. Add a splash of olive oil or lemon juice close to the end of cooking time or to cooked vegetables – it can enhance flavours in the same way as salt. Choose fresh or frozen vegetables, since canned and pickled vegetables tend to be packaged with salt.

Limit your consumption of salty processed meats such as salami, ham, corned beef, bacon, smoked salmon, frankfurters and chicken loaf. Choose reduced salt bread and breakfast cereals. Breads and cereals are a major source of salt in the diet. Iodised salt is best. A major dietary source of iodine is plant foods. Yet there is emerging evidence that Australian soil may be low in iodine and so plants grown in it are also low in iodine. If you eat fish regularly (at least once a week), the need for iodised salt is reduced.

Avoid salt-laden processed foods, such as flavoured instant pasta or noodles, canned or dehydrated soup mixes, chips and salted nuts. Margarine and butter contain a lot of salt but ‘no added salt’ varieties are available. Most cheeses are very high in salt so limit your intake or choose lower salt varieties. Reduce your use of soy sauce, tomato sauce and processed sauces and condiments (for example mayonnaise and salad dressings) because they contain high levels of salt and use herbs, spices, vinegar or lemon juice to add extra zing to your recipe and reduce the need for salt.

Culinary herbs are leafy plants that add flavour and colour to all types of meals. They are also rich in health-protective phyto-oestrogens (plant compounds that have some similar effects to the female hormone, oestrogen). In many cases, herbs can replace the flavour of salt and oil.

Last Rites

The priest was preparing a man for his long day's journey into night.

Whispering firmly, the priest said, "Denounce the devil! Let him know how little you think of his evil!"

The dying man said nothing so the priest repeated his order.

Still the dying man said nothing.

The priest asked, "Why do you refuse to denounce the devil and his evil?"

The dying man said, "Until I know where I'm heading, I don't think I ought to aggravate anybody."
