Energy Reading for December

Time to slow down and what a relief! Beginning now from an energy point of view things are changing dramatically. No mumbo-jumbo this month.

Life can teach us many things and one of those is that we don't have it all; not in a way where you believe you can control and safe-guard everything around you that matters. Life is always changing and comes across as unpredictable as a result.

December may prove too busy with every day things to find time to meditate but that's the old way. The new way is very simple, you can find peace no matter where you are and you can meditate in the five minutes you have in your car while driving to work. No matter what is happening your mind is powerful enough to meditate and restore peace anytime.

Finally you can clearly see what has been bothering you about a certain someone. This now gives you the opportunity for change. In having said this, the same warnings about negative energy from last month are still effective and it's important to avoid people who are very negative. Sometimes the best thing you can do is nothing.

If you can flow with change freely you will be fine. If you prefer a more relaxed approach you will also be fine and if you accept everything happens for a reason and as it should, you will again be fine so enjoy all that is coming and unfolding. There is no other way!

It's a good time to teach and share spiritual lessons. To raise awareness about self-awareness and spirituality. Perhaps you've been thinking of coming out and telling others about what you do or what you've discovered. It's your time now and in the years to come you will do wonderful things.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Change your mind, change your life

I receive a lot of mail from people who visit the site and have questions about their life. I have created Mailbox as a way I can answer some of your letters in our Newsletter. Some of the letters have been carefully edited with your approval by our E-Newsletter Editor so they can be included in the section.

If you feel that you might need telephone counselling, you can call about anything that might be troubling you. If you feel you or someone you know may be at risk or just need someone to listen, call Lifeline now on 13 11 14.

As I answer each one I hold you in my heart...

Usually I am happy and easy going and I don't complain but there is a woman at work who can anger me just with her presence, she doesn't have to say anything but when she does I get really angry inside. She is everything I'm not, bossy, loud and annoying. What can I do?

It could be past life karma, I cannot be certain and need more information. However, if she annoys you deeply simply leave when you can to avoid becoming more infuriated. You don't have to stay in her company if she makes you feel bad. If you can become the observer, observe the situation. Imagine you are a third person and look at yourself and her when you are together. What advice would you give yourself? What could you do to change how she makes you feel?

At times it seems to me that the more I realize about the awesome nature of spiritual love, the more loneliness I feel in my current human relationships. I long to share my discoveries with others, but who do I turn to?

Every one who has journeyed on the spiritual path knows how you are feeling. You may be living a spiritual life but that doesn't mean people around you are, and that's the sad truth. Individuals on the path often live out different lives to those who aren't, more kind, compassionate, simple and peaceable ones. Your longing will manifest and to ensure you get exactly what you'd like pay attention to the details, for instance, sit down and be really sure about exactly what you wish for, be specific, if you don't want something, say it.

I have read that the best way to deal with a stressful situation is to "go through it" but how do you stop stress producing thoughts?

I don't think, at first, that you can and I think the stress producing thoughts are very important because they can teach you something. Try become the observer in the situation and see yourself when you are having these thoughts. How do you feel? What's happening?

I will send you a follow up email...

Thank you for your letters and will endeavor to add in more. If you feel that you might need telephone counselling, you can call about anything that might be troubling you. If you feel you or someone you know may be at risk or just need someone to listen, call Lifeline now on 13 11 14. Lifeline telephone counsellors are ready to talk and listen no matter how big or how small the problem might seem. They are trained to offer emotional support in times of crisis or when callers may be feeling down.

Christmas Card Poems

Expressing feelings is essential to good relationships and what better time than Christmas to do that!

A poem is an easy way to say "I think you're special." Get your greeting cards out and start writing.

Love

On the eve of Christmas I'll have you near, I'll wrap my arms around you and hold my darling dear.

I'll kiss those lips of wine as you stand underneath the mistletoe.

My heart will follow you everywhere you go.

Merry Christmas My Darling.

Friendship

It's good to have friends. Friends who care, friends who you know will always be there.

When you need them, and never complain when you tell the same story again and again!

I've said it before and I'll say it again

May the Light that shone from the Christmas Star on that night so long ago,

Fall on you this Christmas night and set your face aglow.

May it shine from your eyes. May it rest in your mind. May it burn in your Spirit bright.

May the Peace it spoke to a weary world bring joy to your heart tonight.

Merry Christmas.

There once was an elf named Fred

Whose house was of gingerbread.

Though tasty, these walls

Dissolved in snowfalls

And also made crumbs in Fred's bed.

Merry Christmas!

Health and Lifestyle

Sun Tan

A tan is a sign of skin damage. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight or a solarium increases your risk of skin cancer and ages your skin. People with fair skin are at higher risk than people with darker skin.

Over the past 20 years, campaigns to heighten awareness of skin cancer have resulted in fewer people sunbathing. Commonly used alternatives to sunbathing include fake tanning lotions, tan accelerators and solariums. However, each carries potential risks.

A tanning method that doesn’t use UV radiation is preferable. Remember, you still need to protect yourself from UV radiation when the UV levels are 3 and above when using these alternative tanning methods.

Skin cells in the top layer of skin (the epidermis) produce a pigment called melanin that gives skin its natural colour. When skin is exposed to UV radiation, more melanin is produced, causing the skin to darken. This is what we know as a tan. A tan is a sign that the skin is attempting to protect itself against UV damage. It is not a sign of good health.

Any method that involves exposure of the skin to UV radiation, either through exposure to sunlight or in a solarium, will cause skin damage. The more your skin is exposed to UV radiation from any source, the greater the risk of skin cancer and the more quickly skin will age.

Many people mistakenly believe that having a tan will protect their skin against sunburn and further DNA damage by ultraviolet radiation. However, a tan offers minimal protection (around SPF3). Even without burning, UVB radiation ages the skin through irreparable DNA damage. Repeated doses of UVA radiation also contribute to long-term damage, even when no sunburn occurs.

Australians are exposed to some of the highest levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure in the world. Combined with the fashion for tanned skin, this has led to an epidemic of skin cancer. Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. More than 1,600 Australians die from skin cancer each year.

Recent public awareness campaigns have challenged the perception that tanned skin is more desirable than pale skin. However, the desire for the appearance of tanned skin is still high, especially among younger people. So alternative tanning methods have become even more popular.

Jesus at the Bar!

An Irish man, an Australian man and a Scouser all sat at the bar.

Just as they were all enjoying their beers, the Scouser looks up and says to the others, "Damn, thats Jesus!"

So with that they all buy Jesus a drink. The Irish man buys him a guinness, the Australian buys him a fosters, and the Scouser buys him a bitter.

After Jesus drinks all the beers he goes to shake their hands.

He shakes the Irish man's hand, "Hell Jesus, that bad back I've had all my life has just gone!" He shakes the Australian man's hand, "That Arthritis I've had for 20 years has just disappeared!"

Jesus goes to shake the Scouser's hand, "No thanks, I'm on disability."
