the lunar eclipse of monday...28th August

well..although not visible from the UK, the energies were ever present. It was and is until the new moon a very significant lunar experience. I was inspired to carry out a lunar ritual, which involved releasing lots of things that are not serving me and things that I have been personally working on. I immediately felt much lighter and brighter. I think I shall repeat the ritual over the next 2 weeks until the new moon.

This is a time to reclaim our own truth and stand back in the power of who we really are. If there are things that you are putting off because of fear (it is amazing how we fear our power and our true spirit) then this is the time to start to take those steps. Slow steps will soon become big shifts. Expect magic and joy and that is what you will get.

I am soon to send out my newsletter with a channelling in it and a very amazing offer, so if you want to sign up visit my web address (http://www.heavenlyspaces.co.uk/) you can sign up to receive it.

I wish for each of you a magical experience in this opening which is most superb.

Sending you lunar love and cosmic kisses,

connecting to peace

Staying with peace

This is a meditation that I have been inspired to write. Since returning from my awesome holiday I have been inundated with stories from people who have been struggling again. This year has been such a year of contrast so far, struggle followed by great opportunity. I feel that much of this cycle of duality will be completed in the main soon after 9-9-07. I feel it started with vigour after, 8-8-07 again. I am looking forward to my channelling later this month as I have not sat for a while and there is some much to tell. I can feel it!

In the mean time if you have been feeling the strain after the transformation and growth, my gift to you as inspired by the heavens is this meditation for self peace. Watch as it changes your outer world too...remember the outer world is a reflection of your inner world.

Allow yourself to sit quietly with the phones off. Close your eyes and sit and just listen to your breathing. When thoughts come to distract you, just let them go and return back to your breathing once more. It may feel hard at first, especially if you have so many thoughts floating within your energy field. They are still there but for now you are connecting beyond your mundane world and into a world of peace and a world of bliss.

Just allow yourself to connect deeper and deeper to your own breathing. This is your gateway to a much brighter life.

Feel and sense where you breath is going. Observe it, is it slow, is it calm or is it fast and shallow? What ever it is, make it even more relaxed, even more peaceful. Do not hold your breath as this causes more stress in your physical system, just make each breath you take in more profound. Allow it to reach the toes through to your head and hands. Allow your mind to continue being quiet, dismiss thoughts with your out breath. It may feel like a game of tennis but with practice you will establish your connection with the universal energy of peace. Each of us can access it, we, each of us hold the key.

Start when you are ready to send peace out to your body deliberately. Do this by directing your breath. Start from the toes and work your way up. Spend as long or as little on this. Let yourself feel the relaxation and the peace resonating through your whole physical and energetic system. Your emotions are being calmed as the WHOLE of you is calm and at peace.

It is in this state that you have access to clarity and it is in this state that you are the most effective. Not when you are full up with thoughts and emotions. It is when you are still and when you appear empty that you are actually truly connected.

Invite the energy of peace to stay with you and know that for the rest of the say each breath you take will continue to keep this connection for you. The more you repeat this exercise the more you will change your natural state of being. By becoming a being of peace, you are become a warrior of the light.

When you are ready open your eyes and go about your day, with peace within you and around you.

Till the next time folks, enjoy this meditation. Sometimes it is good to focus on ourselves and re-group and reactivate those skills that we sometimes take for granted. Knowing is not enough, when our actions are not supporting us. Do it today and connect to universal peace!!!

Much love,

the holiday post

Well, hello again....I cannot believe that it has almost been one month since I last posted. My plans of sharing posts throughout my holiday were not to be realised. There were and are Internet connections in Kenya...even in the Maasai Mara (can you believe that?) but they were slow and very unreliable. I am back though, having had what feels like a month off. The holiday although great, felt like it was a detraction from what I have been working on. It was really strange, almost like a blip. I was removed from my path for the few weeks and now I am back on it. It is hard to describe but, I was not so connected whilst away. The big family wedding was a strange experience, something that I found hard to connect to at times. Families often create the most interesting experiences and for me question my ability to hold light at all times. At times it was very hard, people slip back into old roles, old wounds are opened up, and from the older ones these wounds are now surfacing in the younger ones. It seems that people are still struggling to move away from ancestral karma and finding the light to stand in their own truth.

Would I do it again? Unlikely to. Once you have moved away from a way of living to be taken back to it, is just not congruent with the new you. All too often spiritual seekers or teachers are expected to be perfect beings. It is as if, any storm is able to be sailed through. Without defining perfect, which is of course subjective, this is such a flawed way of thinking.

Firstly why would you, unless you were a danger or thrill seeker put yourself in a storm of anykind, this is not the act of self love. Secondly, the strive for perfection is what stops people from moving forward, nurturing their gifts or even changing their life. It is like we need everything to be in the image of our mind, our logic rather than the natural state. I was asked while away, surely to teach some of the things I do, I need to have found inner peace..? My answer was no! I teach this at all workshops I run, all things we seek are on a continuum, and to use the illusion of not having found them as a reason to not move towards them, or as a reason to not work with a particular teacher is a red herring. As I teach , I am learning too. This notion of perfect, or having already achieved perfection is interesting. Surely it is what we are seeking to be, to live in a divine way, even if at one level it is achieved it is always the next level that we are seeking this so called perfection. (Think of the onion, we get to one layer (level) and then there is something else for us to peel, a never ending process!) If it is like that, then we will always be imperfect in someones eyes. There will always be someone who wants to judge you and say that you are not good enough, you are not who you say you are. If this is something you experience, I say smile, and simply disagree without emotion. For no-one can know you as you know yourself. If you want to get to know yourself better then find some workshop, therapist, book etc. that helps you to connect to you much deeper. (check out some of the offerings at http://www.heavenlyspaces.co.uk/ , especially the Conscious Creator email programme)

From a spiritual perspective things are much more complicated as you will know and probably have experienced. Often what we think we are seeing in someone is not what is the truth, as we are choosing to experience something in a certain way. During my recent holiday I found that more often than not, people were playing out karmic patterns in order to clear things and close certain chapters. To the many people involved in these dramaramas and situations it felt like they were so important and earthly behaviours of pride and injustice kicked in. None of it was important, yet it was. Spiritual living is complex and simple. There is no right or wrong, there is no good or bad, things simply are the way that they are.

What have I learnt...? Well, to always follow my instinct and intuition. Is this something that you do..? I am sure you know when you haven't as things are not smooth. My intuition and instinctual feeling had been to not go on this trip, but I went against it. Okay, the trip was not good and nor was it bad, but it was something that was not part of my spiritual path. Being brave and being able to stand up for your own spiritual knowing is something that I will work on over the next few months...I will share exercises and meditations through this blog and my newsletters (click on http://www.heavenlyspaces.co.uk/ to sign up for the free newsletter).

It is really good to be back and being back on a path of service....if you have things to share about this post, or want to describe your own experiences then feel free to comment. The way we learn is through sharing...You, each of you is part of my family. Being born into a family is a limiting deal as each of us is connected, this moves us beyond and into the realms of brotherhood. So if you feel disconnected or saddened by what you see going on in your earthly family, look outside of it and see that there are so many of us that are also connected to you. Sometimes we just need to see the bigger picture!!!!

Until the next time take much care,

Love
