Energy Reading for January

The Year of Creativity

Thank you to every one who participated in our Light Work Task 09. You have helped make the world a better place! If you've been following my energy readings over the years, I hope it has helped you with making plans and important decisions. I'm grateful for your presence in my life. If this is the first time you're joining me; Welcome, I'm glad to share this time with you and I hope you enjoy the newsletters.

Preview into the Year.... It's a month of Creativity and the entire cycle (or year) revolves around Creativity too. This year will be filled with wonderful opportunities towards success and improvement but not through arduous work, rather by "just doing it." This is great news for friends and family relationships as this year will provide abundant opportunities for relationships to deepen. The possibility of meeting new friends and making new relationships is also great, some of you may acquire this through changing jobs or positions at work. Radical career changes are also quite possible. The most wonderful changes will happen at the work and relationships levels. For some of you health will be an important issue and making changes regarding your health even more important.

It's a slow start to the year, feels like an old friend has come to stay. There will be plenty to do and some good news may come sometime around the second week of the month. The energy is still very much a karmic one - it's important to work through things that you need too and remember your life is the result of how you view the world and yourself.

If you are "consciously" working on your Spiritual Self your month will be a good one indeed! Situations and circumstances are set to take place this month which support our views and opinions and our choices and decisions we've made. As I just said, it will be a wonderful month for those of you deeply on your journey and one you will fondly look back upon the next few weeks!

Money travels around us abundantly, but the energy is karmic so unless you have some important lesson to learn through the experience of loans and debts then it is wise to wait just a little while longer. It's wise to save as much as you can for that much needed purchase in March.

It's a good time to try a detox diet especially after the Christmas and New Year's celebrations, but before you skip reading this paragraph don't let "detox diet" put you off. You don't have to go nuts! Just for 2 or 3 weeks (or until February) eat more wholefoods, drink filtered water and herbal tea. It will help your body clear away toxins and give the organs a breather, especially the liver and the digestive system. If you prefer to follow a detox plan that's ok too.

If you tend to worry, or if people often refer to you as someone who worries then January could turn out to be your best friend because this month's energy makes it easy for you to relax and worry less and simply focus on yourself. If you haven't had a deep tissue massage in a while or visited the chiropractor, schedule in some time to do that. January will make it easy for you to pay attention to all those things you often tend to ignore and help you make new long-term adjustments that will benefit you.

Three important things to think about this month, trust the process of life – especially yours and be willing to release old patterns and just go with the flow.... even if you don't do all these things straight away, try to start with one and do another one when you feel like you want to.

Take care and have fun!

Community Help

Mailbox

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...

My father has had cancer for two years. Neither of us talk about dying. When a nurse asked him about dying, he said he was afraid he wouldn't go to heaven. I would like to help in some way, but I'm also afraid to talk to him about it and I don't really know what I would say.

Simply say what you feel and don't worry about how it comes out.

I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ. Are you a Christian? Do you teach based on the Bible that tells us Jesus was the son of God? Do you believe in the kingdom to come?

No, I'm not a Christian and I don't teach based on the bible. I am not familiar with the kingdom to come, but this doesn't mean that I do not acknowledge Christianity. Any belief (or religion) that brings love and peace to someone has my vote! The kingdom to come sounds wonderful and it would be great if it was a kingdom that would bring light and healing to the world. Help us all so we can live in awareness. This is what we really need right now.

What is meditation and is there some "best" method for its practice?

Meditation is interpreted different and can be seen as a time to be still, to pray or spend time with your thoughts. You may be surprised to learn that many people struggle with meditating. The problem with meditation is "being quiet." If you can quiet the mind and simply sit with yourself you will meditate. If it helps to sit and focus on a candle and create a peaceful space then do that. As it gets easier you can meditate anywhere anytime. I will send you practical tips on what I've just said.

Thank you for your letters. 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.

Affinity with Jesus Christ

Today there are people all around the world who claim to be Jesus reincarnated. Others say they have been given special messages and claim they can communicate with Jesus, but before you discard all this as nonsense let me shine light on this.

One day a gentleman came to see me, he wanted to discuss trauma he had been experiencing. He told me he knew Jesus Christ in a past-life. He shared with me the hardships of living a life being so loving and accepting of others. He said, it was impossible to do that back then and it's still impossible today. He believed he had been suffering for several lifetimes and with each one after the crucifixion he'd feel like taking his own life from time to time.

It was extraordinary to sit with this man, look into his eyes and observe his deepest emotions as he talked of his soul's journey. It made me deeply examine my own journey. His confessions were very real and I felt as though I knew this man from somewhere in time.

During the time of when Jesus was known, the great majority of people were struggling in life and things like love and hope were looked upon with long faces. People simply didn't trust in love and hope, sure they had families and created love, but it was hard to live in love or even kindness and understanding especially of an unconditional nature and the same is said today. However, today there are more of us willing to try.

We look at Jesus Christ as an amazing man, an angel, a light, a loving being with magical healing ability or was it all really that magical. Around the world we move closer towards natural healing and in recent times, energy healing. In Jesus's time, what he was able to do was magical because he was doing it alone without the support of others. He chose to help, to love and make a difference when there was little or no hope.

Energy healers around the world help aid the sick and dying, quite often prolonging life greatly. Is it hope, is it love, are they indeed Jesus Christ, or are they simply willing enough to try. Modern medicine is not to be discarded and with modern medicine wonderful things can be achieved, but self awareness and the ability to heal oneself (and or others) without modern medicine is love and light working together.

We are surrounded by energy, also referred to or better known as an aura. The energy that Reiki Masters use to heal the body can directly enter through the aura. An individual in a lot of pain can draw in the same healing energy to the point of pain and reduce the pain and begin healing immediately. The same can be used for emotional problems. The energy is so versatile given the right method you can use the energy to do check ups on yourself.

Our aura radiates from our soul. It is the part of us that doesn't die. Our bodies age until they die, our minds and hearts die too. In a typical life our minds serve us more problems than not and the call of awakening is getting passed the mind, or better known as earth mind, so that we can connect with ourselves wholly and also connect with energy effectively.

Many many people have an affinity with Jesus Christ and they called him, our savior. He was able to move passed every day hassles and get right down to the nitty-gritty of doing good. He was less concerned about how much trade he had and more worried about us. We all share an affinity with Jesus. Every time you help someone out, or feel the pain of another, cry when you see them crying, you are resounding with Jesus.

It may be too difficult to be love and light when you are surrounded by many who aren't but don't lose hope! If that's what you really want to do than do that but be sensible about it and recognise just because you are on a spiritual journey it doesn't mean that others are. If you choose love over other emotions and I'm not talking about pretty things or relationships, kissing and hugging, I'm referring to loving kindness, compassion and understanding, you will change your life in wonderful ways and you will help heal the world. It may be too difficult to love one another unconditionally, but someday we will.

Health and Lifestyle

Flights Costing The Earth

The issue of air travel and it's environmental impact is hard to ignore. The transport mode that has become the fastest growing greenhouse contributor is domestic aviation, with an overall growth of 76% between 1990 and 2005, in Australia. However, global aviation is also growing at a rate of 6% per annum worldwide.

There is an intrinsic difficulty with jet engine technology. Jets emit not only carbon dioxide but also large amounts of nitrous oxide, a powerful greenhouse forming gas that has a three-fold greater impact on our environment than carbon dioxide.

Many remote and pristine natural locations, which are now marketed as viable eco-tourism holiday options, have become increasingly accessible – mainly by plane. When booking your flight you may come across an option that enables you to "offset" your greenhouse gas emissions from your flight. These are called "carbon offsets" and they are currently the only real option (other than cancelling your flight) for negating your environmental impact from flying.

A one-way flight between Sydney and Melbourne emits 0.107 tonnes of CO2, which currently costs $1.02 to offset and double this for the return. The Australian Government in particular has urged that COP15 set a carbon dioxide reduction target for the aviation industry and that it joins a global emissions trading scheme as a result.

The Australian Department of Climate Change does provide a list of projects accredited as being Greenhouse FriendlyTM. Look at the carbon offsets projects that underpin the scheme being offered and determine what they will use your money for. These are tree-planting schemes, landfill gas projects and electricity reduction projects.

Remember, in the time it takes for aircraft to become more efficient and reduce it's carbon emissions it is definitely worth offsetting your flying miles. It will still take many years before enough tree mature and offset the gases impact to our environment.

Carbon offsets claim to make flying more environmentally friendly but this will take time. The most effective way to reduce your flying impact is to lessen the amount of international travel you do and concentrate on domestic tourism options. Their emissions are much lower and help stop flights costing the earth.

When the only option is to fly, especially internationally and your travel agent or airline does not offer a carbon offset scheme or you are unhappy contributing to the types of projects your preferred airline or travel agent uses, it might be worth checking out popular carbon offset companies to see what projects they fund in comparison. Try Qantas, Jetstar as well as Virgin Blue.

The Vase

A very tight man was looking for a gift for a girlfriend.

Everything was too expensive, except for a broken glass vase which he could purchase for almost nothing.

He asked the store to send it, hoping his friend would think it had been broken in transit.

In due time, the man received an acknowledgement from his friend.

"Thanks for the vase," it read. "It was so thoughtful of you to wrap each piece separately.
