SEPTEMBER 2010

The pace of change gathers momentum and we are all feeling it now. Have any of you noticed how we are meeting up with people we have not seen for many a year? I, myself, have recently linked up with old friends from 20 and even 30 years ago. It is as if there is a 're-wind' happening. You know how they have always said that as one is about to die, ones whole life flashes before one. Maybe now as we are all going through spiritual death and re-birth, this phenomenon is occuring. It has certainly had me going back over old things, looking at what I have learned from those connections and experiences, expressing gratitude for the good times and the fun we have had together, forgiving when the situation warranted it and altogether distilling the wisdom gleaned from the past. Many of my friends tell me that they are also linking up with people they have not seen for ages.So this is something that is current for the time we are in.

One particular encounter, with an ex-inlaw, just showed me how far I have travelled on my journey of growth and spiritual development. It is like when you are climbing a mountain, you sometimes feel that you are not really getting anywhere, then you look back down and think' Wow!, haven't I come a long way' !! Everyone we have ever met on our journey, has been our teacher one way or another. I thank them all.

I am off to Berlin to a Convention this weekend, then its Copenhagen for work Sept 22nd for 10 days, then here all of October before Hong Kong and New Zealand in November. I am quite excited as I just love travel. I have also been invited to work in Cairo in January, and we are planning the last week of that month. I have never seen the pyramids, so can now do so in the company of a local and not on a package tour. Amazing how we get looked after when we turn our lives over to Source !!

Take a look at your life now. be objective. Where are you in relation to where you would like to be ?? Who in your life do you feel supports you and who is draining you ? What changes do you need to make ?Is your job honouring the god/godess that you are ? Is your home right for you ? Is it time to move on ? What are your dreams and which are the unrealised ones ? What can you do about it ? Remember that you are the one who is responsible for your own happiness, no one else is.

Taking responsibility and not appropriating blame is the mark of someone who is reaching spiritual maturity.

If you would like any help in taking a good hard look at your life, what the probable opportunities coming up for you are, what you need to weed out and what direction would be the optimum choice for you, remember that I could help you with a reading. We could connect with your guides and angels and get an overview of what is going on for you and how you can best optimise your future opportunities. A SPIRITUAL STOCKTAKE, so to speak !! If the situation warranted, we could do some healing of the past using a combination of Reiki and Theta healing. We would need at least an hour for all this so call me and we can arrange something. 01225 425117. This can be done with overseas clients too on the phone but the healing would be done at a distance. (+44 1225 425117 email me first if you like ).

My genuine desire, and mission I feel, is to be of help wherever I can.

I am now on FACEBOOK too.

WHITE CROW / RAVEN

All this week, I have had the pleasure of hosting a couple of delightful Danish friends and showing them around this magical part of England : Avebury, Glastonbury, Stonehenge, numerous White Horses and, of course, crop circles.

At Avebury, last Sunday 25th July, I saw a WHITE CROW. Maybe it was a raven, I am not sure. But it was with the rest of the flock and made a noise like its black fellows, so it wasn't a pigeon or a dove. It certainly shook my belief system ! All week I have been thinking about it and I have written to a Druid to ask if he has any insight on what it means. I have not heard back yet.

I emailed a Native American Shaman/Wisdom Teacher friend of mine called Wolf Storm. His reply. "2012 is Almost here; the Great Goddess and God, of the Fireflies (Our Milky Way Galaxy) will be Speaking Directly to the very Center of our Being. The Humans will Re - Learn of the Laws that Govern Spirituality. And they will be Re - United with the Laws of the People. This is a very Auspicious Time.The Laws Must Now Communicate: Spiritual / Physical. We do not know how this will take place; yet, it will happen.You are a Witch. As a Witch (Wisse, Wit, Wise One / Witch) -- you will Speak to the People of the Marriage of the Understanding of the Laws / White Crow / Black Crow (Spiritual / Physical). You were and are Watching the Prelude of the Dance of the Crows; only a true Witch is shown these Ways, and then given the Answer to the Circles of the Dance and Its Signs.Only you asked."

We sat under the trees at Avebury and meditated. As we did, I felt that the White Crow's message was THAT NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. Sometimes we need to shift our limited thinking of how things 'should' be : think outside the box and expect the unexpected.We are so stuck in set beliefs that we do not open our minds to the non-linear and the 'otherness' with which we are surrounded.Our focus is on such a narrow band of reality, that we miss the greater REALITY all about us. Existence is multi-dimensional and altogether quite glorious. If we open our eyes and expect the unexpected , we will be rewarded with all kinds of insights and magic.

I felt very honoured indeed to have seen this rare and wonderful Being.

Showing my friends around reminded me of what a magical part of England I live in; surrounded on every side by the magic of the land. Bath herself, is such an important Sacred Place. And drive in any direction and Energy spots are all around. No wonder we are also surrounded by crop circles. We visited a few of the latter and it was pure magic.

Life is really quite, quite wonderful!!

 

MAY 2010

Spring is here ! New life, new energy. Just being in nature has such an uplifting effect on mind, body and soul at this special time. Nature is our great teacher and just observing and just being is quite educational. I am reminded of the Shakespearian words 'books in the running brooks, sermons in stone and good in everything'.

Nature has her wild side too , as we saw from the Icelandic volcano. I got stuck in Denmark for an extra week. The first few days I was quite worried as there was no indication when planes would fly again or if they ever would fly again !! As soon as I got a rebooking, I just sat back and enjoyed it. To me it was a big lesson in ACCEPTANCE.

God grant me the SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change

The COURAGE to change the things I can

And the WISDOM to know the difference

On my Book of The Month section this month I have reviewed a DVD that I highly recommend. Click on Book of The Month. I promise you will be amazed if you watch this DVD. Maybe get a few friends together and view it over a cup of tea and cake. And then share your views on it with one another. That is what I have done with the friend who owns the DVD. I must now get my own copy.

 

ANGELIC PREDICTIONS FOR 2010

Click on the angel find what YOUR angel has to say for you..................

By no means do I purport to be an Astrologer. What I have done is to sit down and 'tune in' to the Over-lighting Angel of each of the astrological signs. Each sign has its own Angel. This angel overlooks and takes care of all who are born under that particular sign.

MY NEW BOOK.

 

On 27th February, my new book hit the shelves here and in the U.S.A. It has a rather naughty title but is actually very spiritual. It is called 'THE SECRET POWER OF THE 'F'WORD'

This book came about through an actual experience that I had about a year and a half ago.I have always believed that as Children of God/Source we were meant to have lives of happiness, joy and abundance. I wanted my life to be the best, because deep down somewhere, I knew that it was what we were meant to have.

So, I went on all the workshops and courses, had the therapies, 'cleared my blocks', read the self-help books, listened to the C.D's, made the affirmations, but though there was some improvement, I really wasn't getting to where I felt I should be (Where we all should be). One morning I woke up as I faced yet another challenge and thought to myself, 'what course can I go on, or what book can I read which will help me to achieve success'? Then something in me said 'F'- It' and in that defining moment, I let everything go, got out of my own way, let Something Else take charge of it all and ...........Wow! My life changed in the most miraculous ways from there on in.

I told a few friends of my Defining Moment and the result of it and they said 'Anne, you should write a book about it'......I have ! Somehow, I also feel that I had Divine or Angelic help to write the book because there are some deep insights in it which I feel could not have come just from me.

The gist of the book is about ego and Higher Self, how we mainly operate from ego and it screws up our lives, when we can identify that higher dimension of our own Being, our Higher Self, and surrender to that, then the miracles happen...........effortlessly.

The book is not a long wordy one, as that would defy the effortlessness which the book extolls. It is humorous, as only the ego takes itself so seriously.And there is a chapter on The M.O.F.I.A.....Are you one? You'll have to read the book to see!

You can order it NOW from Amazon or from the publishers www.o-books.net

I hope you enjoy it, but more than that, I hope the ideas presented in it, change your life as they have mine !!

The following are some excerpts from the book........

THE SECRET POWER OF THE 'F'-WORD

Chapter One.
THE DEFINING MOMENT

For over twenty years I 'worked on myself '. Great stuff! I made some progress, sure, but still I felt that there was something I was missing. I just wasn't quite getting 'it'.
I am one of those people who believes in being the best; having the best. I don't believe in half measures. Deep inside me I have always believed that we humans were meant to have a good life. I was sure that our creator hadn't intended all the misery we experience here on Earth and I thought that if only I could remove the layers of self imposed or society imposed negativity, then life would be Heaven on Earth.
I was sure that there was some secret; some recipe for success. I felt close to it many times but felt that there was something cloaking it; hiding it from me. That something was, I thought, my programming; the layers of negativity I had accrued in my life so far. Get that off and Bingo! I'd be there. As I work with people and love to help them, I thought if I could crack it, then I could pass on my knowledge to others and we'd all be in clover. But I wasn't really getting anywhere much, just going 'round and 'round in circles.

The dog chasing its tail.

I have had myself hypnotised, re-birthed, psychoanalysed and regressed to past lives. I have had holographic repatterning, bio-dynamics and the human design programme. I've been on the Chi machine, the Q.X.C.I (Quantum Xxroid Consciousness Interface) machine, not to mention having my astrological chart scrutinised and my tarot cards read. I have drifted into altered states of consciousness in floatation tanks and had Deep tissue massage, Thai massage, Shiatsu, Reflexology, Indian head massage, Aromatherapy and lots of other body work the names of which treatments I have long forgotten.

No one could ever accuse me of not doing some dedicated work on myself! I have done the usual thing of looking at my childhood and my relationship with my parents. I learned to love 'my Inner Child'. I have 'got in touch with my anger' and belted the living daylights out of pillows to release my sub-conscious and hidden blocks and frustrations. I have had one-on-one counselling and cried many bitter tears. For many years I put the blame for all my inadequacies fair and square on my mother's shoulders, until one helpful therapist sorted me out on that score.

Every now and again, someone would tell me of some wonderful new theory, new therapy, new discovery or the latest and greatest transformational tool and off I would go again to spend my heard earned money on yet another 'fix'. I won't say that all these things didn't help. They did. They were hugely helpful. Each new method helped to remove another layer and to embed in my mind my earnestness about getting myself sorted out, but I felt there was still a missing link. I have been on endless workshops to remove my 'shadow side'. I have been pummelled and poked and detoxed on every level by a variety of dedicated and well meaning therapists.

Getting in touch with my Inner Child was interesting. I wrote endless letters of forgiveness to my mother, my father, my ex-husband and even myself. I did rituals of burning these letters in the garden. God knows what the neighbours made of it all as I lit yet another fire! Therapists told me to scream out my pent up anger and frustration and 'to unblock my throat chakra'! The primal screaming presented a bit of a problem: where can you go and scream away all your frustrations in a built up area, without someone calling the police?

Oh Boy! How I grovelled and gnashed my teeth while re-experiencing all my old pain. How daft can one be? Surely it was enough to have suffered it once without visiting it all again? But no, these therapies insisted that I really 'get in touch' with the pain. "Get it out", the therapists said; "don't keep it all bottled up inside". "Feel the pain". I laugh now when I remember the times I rolled around on the therapist's floor or on the carpet in my living room churning up all those old real or imaginary hurts. Was I mad or what?

Mad I probably was. Surely it is insane to put oneself through pain again and again. Wouldn't once be enough? Why go back and revisit and experience it all again?

Dreaming the impossible dream?

And what was I hoping to achieve at the end of it all? The perfect relationship? The ideal career? Loads of money? Yes: All of these. The School of 'You can have it all' promised me all those things: all that was in the way was my 'blocks'. Talk about making me feel even more guilty and inadequate. Here I was trying all this and getting nowhere…. Not good for the self worth! But, to give me my due, I kept on trying. 'Keep on keeping on' became my motto. One day I would find the therapy or the workshop or the book that would turn the key and then, Hey Presto! There would be the golden future of love, prosperity and abundance.

Through those years I have filled many journals with my pain and my thoughts and have written my hopes and my goals. I have kept endless dream journals. I have looked at myself in the mirror and said my affirmations out loud and stuck up 'post it' notes all over the house to remind me of my goals and my affirmations. (All good stuff really, but not enough). I listened to subliminal tapes as I drifted off to sleep and even made self hypnosis tapes for myself with my voice speaking to me. No one could ever accuse me of not trying. But I was TRYING TOO HARD. And maybe my pattern of struggle started with the school reports which said 'could do better, not trying hard enough'. I couldn't get away from EFFORT. The idea of effortlessness hadn't entered my awareness.

Every now and again, I would hear from friends of a new workshop and they would enthuse about the fabulous results so-and-so had achieved from all this and off I would go again with my hard-earned cash in my fist. Oh, yes, all those workshop leaders and motivational speakers were genuine and well meaning people. And, for a while, I would gain some ground until life and I slipped back into old patterns once again. There is no doubt whatsoever that I did make some great strides in those years, but I didn't somehow find myself getting to where I wanted to be..

Which was where?
A life of Abundance, Love, Good Health and Peace, that's where. Because deep down I believe that that is our birthright!

Then, last year, as I was on yet another programme of some kind, going round in circles once again and getting more and more frustrated with myself, I woke up one morning and said……..
The good old Anglo-Saxon expletive……….the 'F' word!

In that 'F' it' moment, I decided to give up working on myself and let things be. It was a 'handing over' moment; a second where I decided to get out of the driving seat. The thought hit me that my ego working on my ego was like a dog chasing its tail.
It was a long awaited moment of realisation; a milestone in my life.
But the best was yet to come, as from that one moment; that flash of awakening, my life has changed in the most wonderful positive ways. In fact, all the things I was desperately striving for have now arrived with ease and joy. Effortlessness has replaced effort.

I don't really think that the years of 'working on myself 'are wasted, they have given me a great understanding of myself and others. And maybe the groundwork was established through all of that for my 'F' it' moment! But most of that hard work was really not doing the trick. And I now realise that the bulk of that hard graft was not necessary. It was joyless and punitive.
Looking back to that moment last year, it was a defining moment.

You might not like the vocabulary of that 'F' it' moment, but it is an attitude rather than a word. And, hey, these days that word is less objectionable than it used to be. In Ireland they say 'feck' but somehow it doesn't have the same punch to it. The F- word has a certain 'Pow' to it. Remember it's only a word, a sound. Even with words fashions change. There was a huge outcry when George Bernard Shaw used the word 'bloody' in Pygmalion and there was shock and horror when Rhett Butler uttered the word 'damn' in 'Gone with the Wind' Thankfully, the 'F' word still has a touch of unacceptability about it, if it hadn't, we wouldn't get the same emotional release from using it, nor would it have quite the impact. There is something so-o-o-o satisfying in saying 'F' it' to mark a shift in attitude or to release some pent up frustration. It is the context in which it is used that is important. And my context was a real letting go; a mega surrender. I got out of my ego and surrendered to something greater than myself. So, what is that 'something'? Actually it's me, but not me.

And then the book goes on to explain the principles of the duality of our nature…………ego and Higher Self.

Aha!

As we realise the truth of our being, all falsehood falls away; all limitation dissolves. If we could truly get the message of who and what we really are our lives would become perfect. If, as it is said, that we are sparks of the Divine or fragments of Source, made in the image and likeness of our Creator, how could we ever be sick, poor, sad or lonely? It would not be possible. If I am Source/God being me and you are Source/God being you, then the truth of who we really are is perfection. The reality of Source/ God is perfection. Source cannot be sick, poor or limited in any way, it is impossible. There is no need to strive. No need for all that effort. The Higher Self takes very good care of us. So, the trick is to remember who we are and to operate ONLY from that reality.

We have been so programmed for millennia that we find it difficult to make that shift of perception; the ego has held sway for so long. But we can 'get it' in the twinkling of an eye when we call the ego's bluff.

That's the 'F' word moment: the moment of surrender and realisation.
"Let go and let God". Surrender. Over-ride the ego, shrug your shoulders and say 'F' it'
Chapter three
Is about living in the solution and not in the problem
Chapter Four.
Break the silly rules (not all the rules only the silly ones and friends have sent me lots of what they consider silly rules )
Chapter five
Keeping it simple
'F-it' in personal relationships.
'F-it' in the workplace.
'F-it' in money matters
'F-it' in health.
And the super simple 'F-it' diet !!!! It works.
Chapter six.
Laughter and fun.
Chapter seven.
THE MOFIA……………..you'll have to buy the book to find out! And see if you are one.
Chapter eight.
Paradigm shift.

It's not a long book as a long tome would defeat the whole object of effortlessness, which this book is all about……success without effort. It has worked for me and I know it can work for you too.
ENJOY!
