As we age, time takes on a completely different feel and function in our lives. For some, they may feel time is running out and look back at missed opportunities. For others, time is an open space to be filled with new adventures with lots of scope for personal growth.

Society applies benchmarks upon us, milestones if you will, that we must meet at a certain point in our lives; however, the human life span is changing, and the benchmarks are no longer in step with society and lifestyle.

As I move towards my 60th year, I see a whole lifetime ahead of me still to be lived and filled with new possibilities. While upon reflection, my grandfather was all too eager to retire with no plan or focus, he had worked very hard in his life, and his reward was to switch off.

How has October been for you? Did you find time slipping away with not enough time to get things done? Are you feeling a change in the meaning of time within your lifestyle?

Whatever you are feeling about time, benchmarks or age?

Tomorrow is always another day; live it to the fullest and give thanks that a new dawn will arise and you get to start all over again.

It has come in the form of new or altered perspectives on my childhood and what was actually happening in my younger years. Like many people, I had shaped my memories to fulfil a narrative that I could cope with, something that felt good or manageable. However as I unpack my memories, I find that the reality was a very different story and this has brought such a wonderful opportunity to heal it has been quite exciting and relief.

As an adult and mother seeing things through a child’s eye has been a revelation and allowed myself to start  the forgiveness process as well and changing personal beliefs. As always with Theta, it is a mind blowing experience and one I am looking forward to continue when I take my new certificate course later this year. 

In talking to my clients in February many had similar experiences, changes to what they thought was reality and shaping into fact, new behaviors’ and beliefs as an adult. We are always peeling the layers of conscious thought, feelings and behaviours to become the best version of our selves. 

All to fast February has passed and March is here, what has February been for you? Did you find old memories pop up for healing ? 

March is looking like a month of decision making, which if we change our beliefs we should find decision making easier as we continue on our path of self realization. 

I am looking forward to reaching out in my Q&A session this month and help you onto a path of new understandings.  

As always, many thanks for your feedback and updates on how life is treating you.

Blessings to you all

This minor kitchen miracle got me thinking about other aspects of my life, mainly my work. I have looked at the ingredients – what makes up my work, is it right? I am using the right method to promote my work? Is my voice filled with passion about what I offer? 

Taking a long look at what I am offering, how I am offering it and what  the benefits are to my clients and customers has given me great insight, there is no overnight success but constant tweaks to the recipe. As I keep my work fresh, using the best tools I have to hand, I feel sure success will be just ahead of me.

Before we get to deep into 2021, is it time to look at your ingredients in your life? This can cover all aspects of your life – Love, health, wealth and career, the 4 pillars that sustain us. Do you need to shake up your recipe for success in any area or all areas in your life to achieve success? Or is it as simple as trying a new method but achieving better results like myself and my bread?

This year our new normal is upon us, Covid19 is here for the long run. It my be time to make some changes to help you towards success and as they say a change is as good as a rest! 

I do hope you all find the recipe for success in all your 4 pillars, I for one am going to relish my new bread making skills.  

Love and light to you all

The post Tarot of the week – Angel Francesca appeared first on Opus Soul Community.

So, if you really want to change the year ahead, if you want to create something new, you really have to think about the words you’re using, the thoughts that you’re putting out there, and what it is in your heart of hearts you want to achieve. What is it that you want to bring into this new year that is going to support you and nourish you and make you feel better about yourself, about those around you, and about the world in which you’re living?

It’s really easy to sit and look at other people or look at adverts or television or Facebook, any of these medias and go “I’d love that, I’d love that” but do you really? Do you really, really love that, or is it just a whim? Is it a fantasy? As you start to think about and take time to link into what it is that you want to achieve this year, really go into your heartspace, because it’s through pure desire and clear intent the heart gets what the heart wants. And I want you to think about that phrase. I want you to look at what is it that would make you feel nurtured and nourished? Think about the desire you have and where that desire belongs. So, when setting out your new year’s resolutions, setting out your intention for this year, be really sure of what it is you’re asking for.

In our life now, in our modern life, my partner and I, we create memories at Christmas time. We have access to shops 365 days a year. You can buy your t-shirts and your shorts and your underpants and your funky ties any time of the year, any time of the year. But in creating something memorable at Christmas, to me anyway, makes Christmas feel special. Now that could be volunteering in the soup kitchen, it could be spending time in a sacred space. The last couple of years, our Christmas presents t each other have been very simple in that we save up and we buy a concert ticket and that is our memory. We will always remember going to that concert. We will always remember seeing that beautiful performance. We will always have it. That’s not something that can be taken away or thrown away, discarded, or simply something that we grow out of.

So, I want you to really think about what is important to you. Is it the giving of a gift? Is it the creating of a memory? What is it that, at Christmas time, really symbolizes or reflects who you are? And it could be that by making a really simply change, you can impact your life quite differently, or create memories that will be everlasting, much longer than something that’d you’d buy and place under a tree.

The post Merchandise v Memories appeared first on Opus Soul Community.

Our lives in the digital age have become condensed and manipulated to such and extent we are constantly seeking approval, acting out and giving over to much of ourselves to others. In an age of instant satisfaction, we have forgotten how to switch off and just breath! 

I for one can get caught up in reacting to demands being made upon me and I have to consciously switch off and set boundaries to ensure I have some time that is private and of value to me. 

In talking to my clients, it seems many have been really pushed to the extreme end of the wedge so to speak. They are feeling overwhelmed, blindsided and in some cases just plain exhausted. This has left them feeling powerless and out of balance within may aspects of their life. Personally I feel that giving yourself permission to switch off has to be a conscious act, not something to be put off but added to your day/evening/week or weekend. 

How do you get balance back you may ask? Set out some perimeters for your recharge time, schedule it into your mobile device even as a reminder. Your recharge practice could be a short meditation, sitting in the car for 5mins before heading into the office these are all small steps that can bring balance into your life. 

We as humans can’t run 100% for 100% of the time, we need time to decompress and reflect. When we give ourselves time to decompress we gain new insights into our situations and can find the space we need expand our energy into new ways of being. 

Life balance is a personal thing, there is no right of wrong, just be sure you find some time for yourself each day – is it time to put yourself first? 

Enjoy the rest of November and I will see you in December.   

Blessings to you all

The post Live Balance – What is that? appeared first on Opus Soul Community.

Following on from my journey with my Reiki students, there was an interesting question asked about our past and how to explain the past without coming across as a victim. It is a fact that for some, being a victim to circumstances is a badge of honor – something to they talk about constantly, however this has a limiting effect on our lives and can become a stigma over time. 

I have been mulling over the question posed and the answer I came to was – Re-frame the events into something more positive in their life. Instead of an event happening in their life, they can change it to – “due to this event, I have become……..”, this was perceived as more powerful and healing for this student. 

I for one, have Re-framed many events in my life, what does this actually mean? For myself it is taking an event and using words that describe the event in a more positive/advantageous light in my life. This is not to deny the event but rather talk about it in my own terms and who I became due to the event. Every difficult situation will always have a positive and negative process in your life, choose the positive if possible. 

One of the exercises I ask my student to do in the Mindful Manifestation retreat is to write a story about themselves. It is short – 2 paragraphs to be completed within 30mins. In the story you have access to every resource you need, there are no limits. This is a hugely powerful exercise and for some students it puts a completely different feel/emotion to past events. Seeing their life in a different light completely changes their perspective – This is Reframing! 

As we move through another eventful year with global, domestic and personal events taking their toll, think about how to reframe some of the issues that have impacted you – what words can you use to better describe what has happened and the new positive you.  

As always we are constantly becoming the very best version of ourselves and this exercise will help you towards that goal. 

Until the next time. Blessings to you all

The post Reframe appeared first on Opus Soul Community.

The key thing to remember is that Ascension is our Soul growth and in order for our Soul to grow we will be faced with many challenges from this life and past lifetimes. These challenges appear so we may learn our life lesson and to assure our Soul growth! However it does feel like we are on a perpetual merry-go-round, the same challenges just different people!

So how do we stop the cycle, get off the merry-go-round? We stop looking outside of ourselves and start to look within.

We must stop blaming the universe for our miss fortunes but thank the universe for sending the challenge along, adjust our attitude and intension around the challenge and therefore break the cycle.

For my self, I have been faced with my old nemesis of Fear/ Faith. Time and again I have in the past dived into fear based beliefs, drama and self torture, only to find my fears have been unfounded and things work out for the better. June has certainly been a month that I could have slipped into old habits, however I made the conscious choice to look for that silver lining – that ray of hope and the month seemed to end on a high note. 

When the world is in chaos, and there seems to be doon and gloom all around, finding faith that things will be okay, can be a challenge. It is also at times like these when there is so much global turmoil is the time to stop, breath and bring your focus back to self. The world is not to blame for what you are feeling only you! 

Now more than any, is a great time to really stop and open yourself up to change how you react to events and thus learn your lesson. Once you have overcome your challenge there will always be a new one but what have you learned from the past will help you push through the new lesson quickly and with less emotional upset. 

July seems to have started on a completely different footing, it feels lighter and flowing, long may it last. 

The post Life Lessons, what are we missing appeared first on Opus Soul Community.

Dreaming is our mind defragging – breaking down, thoughts/words/feelings/events in such a way that we are constantly processing what is happening in our life at any given time. The key is not to attach to strongly to the more frightening images/event we see in our dreams, rather take time to really feel what is happening with what is going on in your body -check your feelings! Are they due to the dream or is that what you are actually feeling at the moment. 

For myself I have been approached by several clients who are struggling with their dreams at the moment, and I appreciate that. I too struggle with some of the images I see in my dream state. For myself, when I become aware of my dreams on a conscious level it really take note of who/what is happening in my dreams. I then look at what is the meaning of the events, like many people it can be confusing trying to digest what is going on, but if I really look at location/people and events I tend to break it down. 

Many of the dreams I become aware of are working on healing the past, connecting to old friends and family members and healing the past – the funniest dreams I get of this type usually involve me in a bathroom/shower room where I am literally letting go or washing/cleansing away all the old feelings. I find these funny as sometime the toilet is full to the brim! not a pleasant sight but ohhhh so good for the soul. 

With the dark nights descending our sleep time feels longer giving us plenty of time to explore/heal and ascend to new spiritual awareness.  
Until the next time, Love and light to you all

The post Dream state – what does it mean? appeared first on Opus Soul Community.

We all have a sixth sense but are you aware of it and what is it? Here are some key indicators that may help enlighten you as an initiative.

1. Thought’s pop into your mind from nowhere.
2. You feel that chill at the back of your neck when entering a room or meeting someone.
3. You pick up on other people’s emotions.
4. You predict outcomes to situations before the result is known.
5. You have an affinity to nature.

If some of these traits feel familiar, then you may find that your intuitive self is active, and you are more connected to your spiritual helpers than you think.  We all have what is know as a sixth sense but for some of us it is more developed than we think.

In fact, you may be using your intuitive gift so naturally that you may not be aware of how intuitive you really are. The key thing to remember is that all your skills are natural and belong to you, use them in such a way that supports you everyday life and experiences, so you get the best outcomes for any given situation.

For myself, although I knew I was intuitively gifted at a young age, it was not until I was in my 30’s that I really appreciate and become more aware of how much I used my gifts on daily basis.

Things you can do to help develop your skills are quite simple, here is an example of what you can do.

• First thing in the morning before you start your day – Ask the universe “what will be the topic of the day”. As you proceed through your day, you may find the topic suddenly appear that you were given in the morning.
• Trust your fist instinct – go with the flow rather than second guess yourself.
• When meeting someone, feel how they are then asking how they are – if this matches you are connected to them.
• Start an initiative diary, write down events/thoughts and feelings about your day, then several weeks later look back and see what has occurred that confirms your intuition.

We have several sense that work as a collective – here they are –

• To develop your intuitive skills first look at how you perceive information.
• Clairsentience – feeling
• Clairvoyance – Seeing
• Clairaudience – hearing
• Claircognizance – Knowing

Once you start to recognize your gifts you can develop the skill that is the strongest one for you, in doing so you will then open up the others which in turn will strengthen your overall initiative skills.

The post Are you intuitive? appeared first on Opus Soul Community.

Gosh, as we move into March there seem to be no reduction in the constant bombardment of media struggles, including NZ and globally. For many of my clients this has left them feeling scattered, low or no energy. Some clients have been impacted on a deeper level – either helpless or enraged! Our emotional barometer is swinging from highs to lows, and finding that balance is becoming difficult as we become immersed in the external distractions. 

I know for myself it is easy to get drawn into other people’s drama in fact being part of something can give us a sense of purpose and resolve, however we have to come back to self, what do I stand for? What is important for me? If we don’t we become scattered and find life overwhelming. However staying balanced is easier said than done, this I know.

When we are moved by passion that belongs to us we feel invigorated, moved, empowered. However when we are joining in or being pulled into other peoples beliefs we can feel trapped, helpless and lost. How do we get back on track?

Firstly you must check your emotional responses, really feel into yourself and see what is happening within.  I recently had a conversation in which an old pattern turned up and just sat with it, I took my time to feel the emotion and upon reflection I realized the emotions was not my own but the other persons, this has been a pattern over the past few months – it is called “empathic sympathy” – feeling and putting myself into what a person is feeling. 

It is easy to get lost in times of great change/struggle, however we must take care not to ‘give” ourselves away. 

One of the methods I use to help bring me back to myself is – the Path to Release, something I teach in my Reiki 2 classes. We can heal ourselves by using this simple technique. I have included a picture of the process in this months newsletter. 

It is so important to keep your energy as clean and fresh as possible, this will allow you to cope with any personal changes you may be facing at the moment. 

Lets fill our bodies with light!

As a young woman, I knew a lovely lady called Liz who was highly intuitive, on my visits to her home she would often say to me – “let me read your vibration” and this fascinated me, I was keen to understand what she meant – and so began my journey into energy work at the early age of 13. We all have a vibration or frequency that can be felt by anyone we come into contact with, in fact people around you who are intuitive will pick up on any slight change in your vibration.

So what is the human vibration or frequency? For my friend Liz, she would tap into the persons auric field, feeling her way around the different layers and hone in on the persons emotions and thoughts. Our energy systems are –

• Aura
• Charka 
• Meridian

All of these systems work in partnership within our body to support our Physical/Emotional/Mental/Spiritual bodies, how do we maintain a positive charge within our energy levels and can we increase our vibration or frequency?

I feel the first question you to need to ask is “what am I attracting in my life now?, is it positive or negative?” When you take a look at what is occurring right now in your life this is a great indicator of what your vibration is. You can change your diet, meditate everyday, read copious amounts of self help books, but if you don’t stop to actually see what is happening in your life, your efforts may be misdirected. I have many clients who talk about being in repeating patterns in their lives, this does come down to their vibrations. To create change they must change their thoughts and emotions. If they have not changed any aspect of their life then they will stay in that loop emitting the same vibration, hence receiving the same outcomes. 

I have been very open about my beliefs around FEAR this year, it has been one of my biggest vibrational shifts – letting go of the vibration of fear has brought in trust and the change to my personals and business circumstances has been immense. 

So, here is the deal – stop and really look at what you are putting out into the universe regarding your thoughts/emotions/spiritual energy! Are you betraying yourself by emitting a false perspective of yourself? Are you being true to you? It is only when we stop searching outside ourselves to be saved or supported can you save and support yourself – this shift in consciousness will have a huge positive shift in your vibration and the things you attract.

The post Frequency and Vibration appeared first on Opus Soul Community.

July was a special month, the class was in full gear, lots of changes taking place and for myself I confided to the class that I realise the emotion of fear had become a habit/norm emotional response for me. I found myself reflecting back on my life and noticed that fear had driven me to succeed, strive for the best and push through uncomfortable situations. So much so, it felt that without fear I may not succeed, as strange as that may sound. 

Phewwwwww – this was a huge revaluation for myself and a habit I had sustained for decades – BUT no more. I have a huge tool box of emotional skills that can help me navigate through life’s ups and downs, it is time to use them. As I dig deep into my emotional tool box, I explained this to my students and from now I am no longer living my life in fear, it is too exhausting, complicated and just useless!!! 

I have decided to surrender to the universe and allowing space around me so that things/ events/ happenings can come into my life to support whatever is going on – Boy July has been a revaluation on so many levels for myself and my students. Huge and wonderful changes for us all. 

So a life without fear  – what does that feel like? For me, I have more energy, I feel lighter, happy, less stressed and have a better understanding of how to succeed in life in a more positive way. I know there is the saying – “when the going gets tough, the tough get going” I can relate to that – but now without fear, I have had some amazing signs, coincidences, happenings that have made me laugh at how the universe, when we allow, it really does let us know we re being supported and manifestations are happening all the time that are beyond our understanding. 

What emotional tool is your go to is it panic/anxiety/worry/ humor?  Whatever your emotional habits are, is it time to let them go and create more positive ones? 

Look out Fearless life – I am on my way! 

LOVE – and many blessings
Phyllis

The post Old Habit are like old friends appeared first on Opus Soul Community.

We live in an era of fast paced lives, “being busy” is the buzz word, everyone is busy but is that a good thing? 
In my Buddhists classes this month, Kelsang Luma has been talking about Karma – huge topic and I do love working through the layers of Karma and seeing this from all different aspects. 

One of the opponents to creating bad/negative Karma is – Patiently excepting, that is to say when things are not going your way, just allow the process don’t push against the tide. All of your frustrations. negative thoughts, feelings are creating negative karma for you –  as they say “what goes around – comes around” Being more relaxed around situations will help reduce the negative impact on you emotionally and mentally. 

With June being a long month, this has given me plenty of time to sit back and take stock of what I am pushing and why. Do I really need to spend so much energy pushing for results that would happen anyway? Do I constantly need to check up on things when I know they will fall into place when they are meant to? 

I realize I waste a huge amount of time and energy when I really need to just sit back and be patient with life in general. June has been a really good month for just allowing things to fall into place and allowing things  just flow. 

If you struggle with your thoughts, feelings and habits, join the growing number of students who are using the Souls Journey course to help find mental and emotional balance within their body through their chakra system with the added bonus of releasing Karma.

The post Patience is a virtue appeared first on Opus Soul Community.

Time as you get older does seem to speed up, we find that days are shorter, months pass by quickly and already we are midyear asking ourselves “how did we get here?” I must giggle at myself, as a young child, like many children, time seemed too slow, days dragging by at school with no holidays in sight, then come our summer holidays – time speeded up! and we were back at school again!! 

I know with the new 5th Dimensional frequencies; we are as a planet vibrating at a faster speed. The Schumann resonance has shown a marked increase in the planetary shifts, recognized as the heartbeat of the Earth, the Schumann resonance are electromagnetic waves in Earth’s lower ionosphere. They have seen a marked increase of vibrations in which we are all affected by. Even the Currey lines, these are the topographical grids sitting around 2/3ft above the Earth’s surface, these are changing as the Earth’s crust shifts and changes underfoot due to changing seismic conditions. All of which does impact our energy fields considerably. 

Or is it that in our manifestation we are on some level already in the future we are planning? There is a school of thought that we live in a parallel universe that emulates all our actions and thoughts, are we living on some level feeling and experiencing events before they happen in our reality? As they say, “As above – so below” We have since 2012 been manifesting in every aspect of our lives, so is now the time of instant manifestation? For many of you I have taught over the past decade or more, you have been focused on creating your future through a variety of tools, teachings and techniques, are you feeling that time between your Thought and Result has vanished? Are you manifesting now, seeing the results of your thoughts in an instant? 

Time is relative as they say, and as such we must ensure we make time for ourselves and ensure we give time to ourselves to rest and regenerate on many levels. Make time your friend and embrace the speed at which we are manifesting. 

If you are ready to consciously manifest in your life, join our online course – Mindful manifestation.

The post Warp speed and 5th dimensional time appeared first on Opus Soul Community.

When we think about the thousands of decisions we make on a day-to-day basis, it becomes clear that we are always using our free will. However, it is when we are influenced by others that we surrender our free will, and that can bring about both positive and negative outcomes.

The key to free will is that we must be aware of our choices and take full responsibility for any outcome, regardless of the effect. We can not point the finger or blame others for poor results simply because we used our free will and followed their advice.

This boils down to the fact you are acting in free will at all times – the outcome is up to you.

What is Destiny? Destiny is a predetermined course of events that determines a person’s future. These events are unavoidable, planned on some level to shape or change your future in a way that can be life-changing.

As a spiritual teacher, I am often challenged on this; mainly by people who see the wrong in the world and want to know why it’s happening, or people who have personally experienced great pain or sorrow which they feel is unjust or unwanted.

We are here to learn and develop into the best version of who we can be; that includes the good, bad, and ugly parts of our life experience.

Some people are told they are destined for great things, so what is it that others see in that person? Is it their courage, strength, determination… or is it a feeling? We will never know, but what I see is that some events are so great in a person’s life that these events simply shift them onto a new path of great healing and influence.

For myself destiny can be seen in patterns in my life; from colleagues talking about New Zealand, parents who were emigrating to New Zealand, to finally moving to New Zealand as a family. Not through our parents, or suggestions from my colleagues, but from an ‘inner feeling’ if you will.

So, Free Will Vs Destiny:

They work hand in hand – events that will inevitably come into your life are Destined, however we use our free will to make the best of the situation we find ourselves in at any given time.

If you are destined to be a great singer, you have the free will to find the right support to help you achieve this. You are in charge, you make the decisions which help or hinder your progress towards your destiny!

The hard work is done –
now it is time to reap the rewards

We have arrived into a new age and what a journey it has been. 2012 started of the 5th dimensional energy,  the process of becoming more aware of our journey, our soul and finding our purpose. We developed and listened to our intuitive self and have been guided by this new awareness. For many of you, life will have changed quite significantly from that time, so in reflection, who have you become and are you ready for the Dawning of The New Age?

The age of Pisces over, it was the age of connecting to the Christ consciousness, connecting to our own inner voice that helped us recognize controlling and destructive aspects within our self. With these new insights we were propelled onto a path of healing. I for one look back and see so much has changed in my life. 

So what’s waiting for us now? Having worked on our fears, dug deep into our healing journey and reset our conscious mind, we can expect a “Vortex of creation”,  energy that is constantly by our side. Our minds are liberated and we can or should be able to manifest quicker through our new mental freedoms. 

I have been told that Freedom will be the key word for 2021 – freedom to create the world you want to live in, freedom to build on your new found mental agility – from the song, “This is the age of Aquarius”, “Now our minds are liberated” really resonates with me. If nothing else – Covid19 has taught us that Freedom is precocious, it is not a given. You have to put the work in to really see the benefits of freedom in many aspects of your life.

Covid19 is bringing forth to my mind,  the new Space Age – we are now in the Space Age, moving from the Digital Age. We have learned to stay in our bubbles, communicate at a distance, started commercial business in space, all skills needed for the new younger generation to build upon for living or working in Space. 

I am not sure what 2021 will bring but I am sure that all the foundations I have been building from 2012 are steady, they will hold my new energy solid and form the founding principles for what comes next in my life.

This year we are working with the energy of the Ox, starting from the 3rd February. An animal of great strength, stamina and steadfastness. All our hard work will pay off this year, if we recognize our mind limitations and let them go.  For me this will be my “overthinking” – not an easy task but I am open to liberating my mind from the dramas of my own making.

Now is the time to recognize your self as a whole person – Body, Mind and Spirit and work with every aspect of yourself so you can move into the Vortex of Creation. Just remember, we can create both positive and negative so be mindful!

Welcome to the Age of Aquarius everyone

Love and light to you all

The post The age of aquarius appeared first on Opus Soul Community.

I have been so aware of the complete stillness of February, a quiet energy that feels like a marshmallow, soft  and comforting. In contrast to last years energy of fear, anxiety, chaos. I am finding I am really appreciating the stillness around. 

Why is it quiet?
On a global scale, the world seems to have found some order, this applies to the dealing with Covid19 and he new vaccines, long awaited government changes, all of these things have brought about a sense of global relief. We, as a global community still have a long way to go but the light is at the end of the tunnel. Although there are still pockets of unrest in the world, as global spectators we see these events from afar and this can create a sense of stillness for those of us who are no directly involved.

For myself, having completed a year of dedicated work, now I have arrived at my destination, February felt like being in a rest stop, looking and reflecting on what had been achieved. The goal now is to see if the plan I have been working on, will indeed pay off! In this time of stillness I am diving deep into myself so I can start to formulate what’s next! There is always a ‘what’s next”, life is a constant evolution and change, endings do create a new beginning. However sometimes it is good to just sit quietly and enjoy the success of seeing a plan come together.

Part of my reflection is how my journey started, this takes me back to my crystal gift shop in Largs. On a cold and rainy day, no customers only seagulls  to keep me company. I sat in my shop I put the thought out  – ‘what is my life purpose?” The psychic development course was born on that day and several years later more course were added to my collection, The Phoenix Light Foundation manifested and is now my online academy. It is through reflection we can appreciate the journey we have been on and the successes along the way. It also gives us time to tweak and improve on our decision making. 

Now that your are in 2021, what are you planning for the rest of the year? Can you use the successes of the past and replicate them in the future?

With the uncertainty of Covid19 we are being reminded of being flexible and adaptable, are you able to accommodate change and adapt to the changing restrictions? If not, come back to yourself and just breath, take a moment of stillness so you are in reflection mode rather than reaction mode, this way you are more likely to have positive outcomes.

March can be a long and dreary month, changing of seasons, shorter nights down here in NZ, but it can also be a time of joy. Take time to really participate in the last of the summer wine, walks by the sea, strolling in the park and and the last few BBQ’s before the winter is upon us. We will have plenty of time to hibernate come winter.

Until the next time, Love and light to you all

Love it a word we link to many things in our life, from our work, clothes, cars, jewellery etc but what does it mean? Do we simply have a fond memory attached to these objects or do we truly LOVE that thing? When we say “I love you” what is it we are saying to each other? I know my love for Mike is very different from first love, we have grown up together and our love story will continue to grow as we move along our life path together. The many changes in our lives has also shaped our love, I can honestly say we are not the couple we were in the Scotland compared to who we are now in New Zealand.

Love is a word we hand out daily but do we mean it? Ask yourself the question and who or what are you in love with? 

I have become a Schitts Creek addict – I LOVE that show!!! So what do I love? I love the characters, the soul lessons and messages of personal growth, I love watching the evolution of each Rose family member. There is a very special moment when Jonny Rose finally realizes what Love is in his life and it is not what he thinks it is! When confronted by his past – he realizes it is his present that is important and the past has no meaning for him now.  He sees with open eyes who he is surrounded by and the unconditional love he has been given. That is a precious love! 

I know that the love I have in my family is precious and we say I love you to each other many times during the weeks/months/years. I am also aware then when we say it, it comes from the heart and not just a throwaway comment. So, listen out for your words of love, what are you loving in your life and does it deserve your love? 

Included in this newsletter from the episode of Schitts Creek in which Jonny finally realizes he is loved, the song I talk about in my vlog. Enjoy and if you can sit an watch the lyrics as they appear I hope you will recognize your Precious Love. 

LOVE – and many blessings
Phyllis

What has come to light from that night is Soul, what is it? Can we heal it? Can we change it? So many good questions that have been running around my head, making me look at my own choices in my life and what my Soul journey has been about so far.

To be honest, I was not spiritual until my 30’s, what I mean by that is, I had not taken into account what was happening around me, who, what and when events took place for my growth. I was like most people taking things as they came without questioning WHY!

I will always remember my Reiki Master Teacher telling me – “You chose your family, get over it Phil”. To my credit, having first rejected this comment I then spent the rest of the day delving into my WHY. Who had I become due to every event in my life and the outcomes. All of this stored and recorded on my Akashic Records.

The Akashic Records is a compendium of all human events, thoughts, words, emotions, and intent ever to have occurred in your past, present, or future. This is not Karma, but an imprint of your non physical world energetically. 

As we develop and grow in enlightenment, we can upon refection see how our beliefs in the past may not be what we believe now, so we can change our thoughts – Change your thoughts = Change your life. 
This is Akashic healing, as we become more enlightened and refocus our thoughts, words, emotions and intent, we are rectifying our past miss-understandings, our past miss-deeds etc. The more you heal the past the more you are creating your future, this is also has a positive impact on your Akashic Records.

Take time to reflect on your journey and who you have become and your WHY

As we see the finish line of 2020 in our sights, at this time of the year feel  quite scattered,  stretcher and really empty.  We are looking at the festive season which can looks formidable. 

This year in particular we have faced many challenges, with imposed isolations, change of government, and changes within our personal situations. It has been a huge year so far and still a few weeks to go!!!

In March I pulled back from giving personal sessions, it was at the end of last year feeling I was “spreading myself too thin” – my energy was just not there to support all I wanted to achieve, so something had to give. 

In the proceeding months I have found that in pulling back my energy, time and resources, I have achieved so much!!! It feel fantastic, so fantastic,  I was hyper talking to Nathan, who just sat quietly while I prattled on about my excitement and the new changes just ahead for me.

As you look around your life, are you really focused on your direction or feeling stretched? Moving into a new year always signals change, we set our minds to what we want to achieve and create a plan. However Why wait??

If you can make changes now, then do so, being self reliant will help you focus and move towards your goals without waiting. As both myself and Nathan know, we are great Procrastinators lol

We can distract ourselves quite happily with mundane, meaningless tasks to avoid change. However this only delays the task at hand, which could signal missing opportunities in your life. I know for myself, making that shift in March has created so many openings for my own personal growth, realigning my energy and focus. 

No-one can make these decision for you, only you. 

Who knows what 2021 will bring, it is a 5 year – a year of freedom, change, unpredictability and is connected to our 5 human senses. Take note of your vibrational body now, start to tune into YOU. 

If you need to change things then now is the time to start so you are ready for the new year and what it will bring. 
Good luck!

What is our Aura and what is its purpose?

Our Aura is an energetic layer around our body which alerts our senses to what is going on around us every moment of the day. The Aura holds all our thoughts, feelings, and emotions as we move about our day, but it can also store other people’s thoughts, feelings and emotions.

In Native American culture, this type of external energy from other people was called Rust – when taking to a sweat lodge they would use this meditation time plus extreme heat to remove the Rust from their own energy fields.

The Aura’s main function it to alert us of what is happening around us via our clair senses, these senses trigger an alert in us to be on our guard, open to love and friendship and when we feel fully supported.

Colour in the Aura

As you can see from my photo the Aura is filled with many colours, the full spectrum of the rainbow. In looking at the colours of the Aura you can detect what is going on with that person at any given time, but it does take time to develop the skills to read the aura.

In looking at my photo above, I have a real mix of energy floating around below is a review of my colours –

• Green/green = compassion/teaching/intuitive healer/strong link to spirit
• Orange = creativity/mothering/nurturing
• Red/orange = charisma/creative expression/confidence

However, this photo is of that moment, each day our Aura changes with what is happening around us at any given time.

Aura clearing

It is important to maintain a healthy clean and clear Aura so you can always be in balance with what is going on around you.  There are some simple techniques you develop as part of your daily mediations practice.

Golden breath – sit quietly and close your eyes, focus on your breath. Become aware of each breath as it moves in and out of your nose, allow your mind to drift off and then bring it back to the motion of your breath. The more you bring your attention back to your nose the deeper your meditation and less distracted by external thoughts.

Once you are completely relaxed, visualise your breath as a golden light. With every breath you take, imagine/see/feel your aura filling up with golden light. As you move deeper into a relaxed state, visualize your aura extending outward in a halo of golden light.

You can do this for 5 or 10mins each day, it will remove any unwanted energy in your aura and build up a bubble of protective light.

• Birthstone for March
• Lucky talisman at sea
• Helps overcome judgmentalism.
• Sharpens the intellect and mind.
• Wonderful at alleviating sore throats

March’s birthstone was also thought to enhance the happiness of marriages. The best gems combine high clarity with limpid transparency and blue to slightly greenish blue hues. Like many beryls, aquamarine forms large crystals suitable for sizable fashioned gems and carvings.

Aquamarine’s name comes from the Latin for seawater, and it was said to calm waves and keep sailors safe at sea. It has a soft energy that brings about a inner calmness and alleviates stress within the body.

Fifth dimensional energy

With its clarity and soft blue hughes, it is a wonderful amplifier of high spiritual energy especially 5^th dimensional energy. This new vibration of the Aquarian age allows us through meditation and contemplation to connect to highly evolved spiritual beings or guides.

Bringing clarity to the mind during meditation, you may find yourself exploring worlds of great spiritual expansion and personal evolution. It is known as the ascension crystal that does bring clarity to the mind.

Meditation with Aquamarine

For the best results during meditation, sit quietly and fix your gaze on your Aquamarine, when taking in a breath, imagine you are breathing in the soft blue energy filling your body with the gems gentle soft energy. When you feel relaxed close your eyes and allow your mind to be lifted into the universal energy to connect with your 5^th dimensional guides and helpers.

Sit quietly to receive and perceive any guidance or spiritual insights. Once you feel the connection is waning, allow your mind to gently descend back into your physical body. Ground yourself completely by taking deep breaths and become of your body and feel completely connected to your waking mind.

December is here at last and the Christmas rush is on! Mega sales, pounding the pavement to find that perfect gift or hours online cruising websites for that must have item. 

Christmas time can bring up all sorts of emotional and mental feelings, the rush of waiting in line with other busy shoppers or the frustration of waiting in line with other shoppers!  We are driven by advertising, pushing us towards the latest great sale – bargains to be had. This fills us with all sorts of “Feel Good hormones”, it is hard to ignore that adrenaline rush. It is all to easy to get caught up in the hormone thrill of it all. Are you in FOMO mode? – Fear of missing out.

Many years ago, back in my early 20s, Mike and I were completely broke at Christmas. Baked beans on toast was the meal of the day and I thought how lucky we were. That year there where no gifts or cards for family or friends and to be fair I have never looked back. We did not move back into the Christmas rush of spending money on gifts that were neither wanted of appreciated. JOMO -Joy of missing out.

Who are you?? FOMO or JOMO?
Do you get caught up in the festive frenzy or sit back and relax? This year more than ever, the view we have of our world has changed, we are prioritizing different things, I think here in NZ we are more appreciative of the simple things and freedoms which other countries are not experiencing. 

I feel it is important to give yourself permission to relax over the festive season, stick to your budget and work on keeping things simple. You will still have a great time but none of the stress.

On a personal note
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support over what has been a very unusual year. My newsletter is coming up for its 20th year! What a mile stone, sharing my thoughts and inspirations has invoked the most fantastic feedback from you, I truly do enjoy your emails letting me know what is happening in your life and how my newsletter sometimes pops into your email box with just the right message.

Have an amazing Christmas and New year period where ever you are located in the world and plan for 2021 and the new era we are moving into.
