Papermaking Workshop

I'm about to head off to run my first recycled paper making workshop. In the past weeks I have been preparing both the equipment for the workshop and commenced work on 30 notebooks that International House have ordered as part of their environmental program for this year.

Something that started out as a hobby is now taking me places I never thought. It's an exciting week for me as it will also mark my first foray into songwriting...well I had written the song quite a ways back, but singer/songwriter/performer/author/man with many hats David Christopher has just about finished recording 'The light in me...'


Live Your Truth

The Poor Man's Speech

I'm currently at home in Australia - my first visit in nearly two years. It's been wonderful to see so many loving friends and family since I arrived.

Martin Brofman emailed this link a few days ago and I just read it. It's about an Oscar Winner, who overcome a stammer early in his life and I was happy to read about how he visualised his way out of cancer.

Think about a time you have used visualisation? What were your experiences, thoughts, feelings?

In the past I have used it for many things, or to get 'stuff'. Like a job at the Winter Olympics, during a time in my life when things like this were important to me.

Looking at today and the present moment, my truth regarding visualisation is that it works. I use it daily to ensure I stay open - I keep my heart open to love and acceptance - it often serves as a reminder to live what is true to me and not to do what does not work for me. The practical application of this is to see an open heart filled with white light and by saying the words love and seeing this, open and flowing energy of love.

I'm very pleased to be home in Australia and that I have some healings coming up this week, something I have manifested.

My wish is that we all can experience successful visualisation experiences in line with our beliefs - our truth. If you want to use it at work to imporve your working relationships then do it. If you want to use it to feel happier or better about yourself then jump on board.

First - see it as a tool that works, then apply it, then trust it is happening, getting better and better, moment to moment. Then share your experiences so that we no longer view health and health care as out of reach. That we see it as free.

Our best medicine lay in our mind, our hearts, our being.

Anything can be healed.

E.T - I Love You...

When Elliot had thought E.T had died the last thing he said before walking away was,

"I love you"

E.T then comes back to life.. The two of them are connected in a way that enables them to feel each other's emotions, feelings, thoughts. We also see that plant life is connected as a living breathing organism. None of this is an accident and was all beautifully written by Melissa Mathison and presented by Steven Spielberg.

Why am I writing this? Well the words "I love you" stayed with me - the very moment he came back to life. The expression of love came at a time when the person had passed on. Love is more than an expression, it is something to be felt, to be experienced. Experience it on this plane of existence - in this life time. Express it - yes - certainly do so without fear. Then be open to receiving love from those around you.

The opposite of this way of being would be living in resistance and fear. Ask yourself where in my life am I resisting? Resisting your inner self - your truth. Being someone else to the outside world? There is nothing brave about resistance. We are accustomed to hanging on when we should be letting go. Love is free.

We aren't at all different from anyone else on this earth. Put colour, race, religion all aside. We are physically in this lifetime to find what our truth is and be that person your spirit wishes to be - this is the alternative to the lives we currently lead.

Start now - express love to someone you are currently offering resistance to - offer love and tell them you accept them for who they are.

The heart chakra is all about love and acceptance. Our respiration system is linked to our heart chakra. Every breath is a reminder that love isn't something to chase or seek or find - it's around us, it's within us - with every breath we take.

Enjoy your weekend - Namaste...

Live your truth...

"In loves existence there is no resistance"

"Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it..."

Jalal ad-din Rumi

Ho'oponopono Mantra

I LOVE YOU
I AM SORRY
PLEASE FORGIVE ME
THANKYOU

"Always do what you really want to do, deeply. Do not do what you really do not want to do, deeply. Throughout it all, always be who you really are, and trust your trip. If you have forgotten this basic rule of life, and have gone out of balance, you can be reassured by reminding yourself of your inner truth, that you are here to be happy, and that anything can be healed."

Martin Brofman from Anything Can Be Healed...

The year ahead...Alpha words...

I wouldn't call them resolutions - more of a close your eyes - say the month and take the first words that come to you. I spent about an hour new years eve meditating and then did this exercise for each month and it came about after developing interest in new moon intentions. I thought that i'd look to 'now' to see what in that very moment was going to present itself in the next 12 months.
