Hello everyone January is done and dusted and here we are into February. A short month, and a month supposedly set aside for love. As beautiful a thought as it is to celebrate Valentines Day, love should not have a special day at all. Surely this is a commodity which needs to be shared continuously far and wide. So as we head on into the month and months to come, try and make a concerted effort to spread love and care to everything around you. Human and animal and our precious planet earth too.
Have a love filled month, spread the goodness and let go of that which you no longer need. Blessings ~Tilanie~
2017 has been rather a strange year so far. On a cosmic level if you have not let go of many of the issues which you held onto thus far, somehow it will keep on coming at you for the next two months and basically force you into action of some sort.
Cover picture sent in by the very talented Anela who has from the inception of ADV been sharing with you her beautiful photographs. Thank you Anela on behalf of ADV and all the readers.
On a personal level it has been and incredibly heart breaking month for me. Yet there was an intense lesson to be learnt. Yes, I wish it were on a different scale or in a different way but I have learnt my lesson. If you are wondering what it was that I had to learn, simply put to put myself first. I have learnt to say no to others, I have had to. And I hope that my lesson will never again repeat itself or need to send me some form of a reminder. I hope that you dear reader have so far had a good start to your new year and that you will Aneis de Vida

After passing on, George Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump are going for a job interview with God. God asks Bush: “What do you believe in”? Bush replies: "I believe in a free economy, a strong America, The American nation and so on ..." God is impressed by Bush and tells him: "Great, come sit in the chair on my right" God goes to Obama and ask: "What do you believe in”? Obama replies: “I believe in democracy, helping the poor, world peace, etc. .... ". God is really impressed by Obama and tells him: 'Well done , come sit in the chair on my left" Finally God asks Trump : “What do you believe in”? Trump replied: "I believe you're sitting in my chair”.

Eventually she made a decision to give it a try, she had nothing to lose but everything to gain and would be able to judge after the first session.
Dawn is a cognitive hypnotherapist. And you are seeing the word hypnotherapist thinking ‘’going into a trance like state’’. Nothing can be further from the truth, well in part as you seem to do very well putting yourself into this state. Cognitive hypnotherapy is very different
Dawn made the appointment and went off to London to see the ‘’wonder’’ therapist. After her first session she was sitting at the airport waiting for her flight back to Scotland and was amazed that she felt things had already begun to change. And she recalls thinking ‘’this is Cognitive hypnotherapy is based on neurosci- weird and how is it even possible’’. That thing ence, using your own brain to change your that had been sitting fair and square on her brain as she puts it. The belief is that at least shoulder whispering in her ear was silent. 90% of our awake time we are in a trans-state. There was no voice for a change. Her thought 90% of our subconscious mind is therefore in at that moment was ‘’mmm is this REALLY this control. For example, if you are thinking of good?’’ By the time, she had her second sessomething that happened to you in your past, it sion she thought to herself ‘’this is the world’s means you are not in the present moment and best kept secret’’ and ‘’why do others not know therefore, no longer in your present conscious that this approach to solving problems is availamind, by definition meaning trans-state. ble to them?’’. When she had finished her third session she decided that this is something she The reason Dawn went into Cognitive Hypnotherapy is that she used to be in the Call Centre felt very passionate about and wanted to help Corporate field, travelling all over the world as- and teach others.

drive. These are trans-state experiences. Dawn points out she does not need to put you in any ‘’state’’ you will do so yourself. Her work is to find the point where the brain switches itself off by thinking that you may get hurt and it is equivalent of changing gears on a car.
We do not need to define ourselves as ill when we have fears or phobias. The preconceived ideas that everyone seems to have may not necessarily be true.
Dawn’s ‘’job’’ is to find your alert point, as each person has a different kind of reality. And from there it is to problem solve your problem, to gently take you back and what was learnt, felt and from there on undo the issue at hand.
Books :
Below are links to the books Dawn has written as well as her various contact details. The book on my personal journey is "Nothing Needs to be the way it's always been" The book that I am trying to take over the world with (and planning on doing talks everywhere) is The Caveman Rules of Survival.
The subconscious mind is not rational, it is based on primitive instincts and emotions. For instance the number one phobia in the UK is of spiders. The UK does not have dangerous spiTalks : ders so logically speaking there is no need for TED talk : https://www.youtube.com/watch? this given phobia at all. v=Dv543zNEvGE A question posed to Dawn: If the subconscious is that ‘’stupid’’ how does this fit into the spiritual evolvement? Website : www.thinkitchangeit.com And she says that everyone has a different spiritual belief, and this does not really matter. The way the subconscious communicates with the body is through the cells. Everyone used to think that the cell nucleus was the brain of the cell, the reality is it is the membrane of the cell where all the ‘’intelligent’’ stuff occurs. The brain sends signals to the cell. The membrane communicates with the centre/nucleus of the cell to tell it what to do. For example. A cold virus – without thinking you can activate defence mechanisms.

Dawns message to the world is ‘’in one way or another we all have issues, but there is hope and we do not need to accept our mess-ups.

Hello.
You are a stranger in these parts and I can see you are lost. It is not easy to venture into the realms the unknown And find something of value there. It is also clear that you are wondering if, in this place, There is any value for yourself And if there is anything you can take home with you To decorate your lounge or your heart.
If the truth be told, This is a place of great complexity. And if I were to teach you all the subtleties, nuances and niceties, Quite frankly you would never get back home, And your life span would be completed before I had hardly started. But, you are here, And I, being a kind and generous host and proud of my lineage, Will give you a few glimpses of the treasures that lie here. And perhaps you, being wise and astute, Will be able to glean from me That which might be of use to your people And maybe also find something of value purely for yourself. The treasures and secrets of my people are not easily given out. Therefore I would implore you Not to make rash decisions, judgments or conclusions Before you have heard the whole story And carefully considered all the elements. With that said, let us begin by moving From the familiar to the unfamiliar: As we walk down the main road here Of this quaint and ancient town, It becomes clear that there are various streets Branching off left and right. You can see they each have a name Aneis de Vida
19
February 2017
And you can also see
That each one has a distinctive character. Now, if we should turn into any of them, You would immediately sense a change in your body In response to the character of the lane. Some will evoke a feeling of anxiety, Some a feeling of strangeness And others a feeling of joy or contentment. Also, you might get a feeling
Of the familiar or the unfamiliar. And, by the time you get to the end of this main road, You will have experienced every single emotion and temperament Present in the human psyche, And you will have assessed for yourself The value of each. Once you have had the overall experience, You will once again want to examine and re-examine these emotions. You will be drawn to feel the layers and depths of each condition, And you will be fascinated to discover How they interact with one another Resulting in, chaos, order, confusion or clarity, Until at last you will finally know for yourself Which attribute has value and which is of no use at all. Only then will you know where you would want to build your own house And who you would choose as neighbors. Inhabitants here, have spent many lifetimes Trying to discover for themselves just that. From where you come, Perhaps you have a similar system, And perhaps, If I show you some of the more prominent characteristics of each road, You will be able to make an educated guess As to where you should build your own house Aneis de Vida
20
February 2017
And who you should choose as neighbours. Let us therefore, take some time now To visit the tea house and catch our breath Before we enter the first road And encounter the busy energetic forces
Which reside there. INTRODUCTION The Chinese Zodiac is a very complicated interplanetary energetic system developed through many dynasties of ancient eastern thought. Primarily embedded in China, it lodges itself in the thought processes of those inhabitants. It is an intrinsic part of their culture and guides their way of life without many of the people even being aware of it.
For Beryl Broekman life really began on 16 March 2012. For it was then that, while doing a thetahealing course, she realized her soul purpose was to be an energy healer. Embracing her new found gift, she developed her own healing modality, Powatheta, and formed her own company in the same name. Rooted firmly in the 'real' world she goes to great lengths to demystify intuition, distance healing and the angelic realm and encourages businesses to embrace this untapped source of wisdom to maximize profits. It was not long before Beryl started writing down the insights from other worlds and her blog serie (www.mysticstoryteller.com) took shape. Beryl has an exceptionally close relationship with the beings of the angelic realm. The ten archangels trusted her to write down their poems which they wanted to express to us and these can be found in her book 'Poetry of the Archangels'. Through her, they also have their own Facebook page -Angel wisdom for modern times (https://www.facebook.com/cosmicguidance/-) where anyone can ask them a question and get an answer specifically for them. Beryl is based in Johannesburg, South Africa. As well as consulting and spending her time writing the mystic storyteller books she develops property, travels to India every year, spends time with family and goes scuba diving. You can find out more about her on the website www.powatheta.com.

As westerners, it is difficult to grasp the true understanding of its value, but even if we can get to know just a few of the basic tenets of the system, we can glean some eastern wisdom which could help us in our daily lives.

Each month, as we explore the energetic significance of each zodiac animal, it is hoped we will also begin to build a bridge in our own minds between the philosophies of East and West contributing to a better global understanding. I hope you will come with me on this exploratory journey this year and enjoy meeting each creature, (rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, horse and pig) and hearing what they have to say about their roles in the years they represent.

I am not broken or cursed. I am a Spiritual Being

n the January issue I gave a very brief and vague outline of myself and what I have experienced in my life’s journey thus far. I am still very young and have many lessons to learn in life and hope to take you all on this journey with me. I hope to assist those of you who may be facing similar lessons or challenges to what I have experienced. During our journey it seems like we have no way of getting the information we so desperately need at that time. I pray these stories will help you on your own journey through this life time. Although I have been spiritual all my life and have explored the variety of ways in which one can express these beliefs, it has been an interesting experience so far. As I was growing up the Catholic Church was the first place where I experienced how a spiritual soul can agree as well as disagree with the same message being brought across by the church. I remember sitting between my parents and feeling a conflict within me with regards to what was being said by the priest, I felt he was right, but only partly right. I felt there was information missing, things we were not being told. Selective education about certain things. As I got older I walked away from my Catholic faith and explored the other options available to me. I still hold many aspects of the Catholic faith close to my heart because it is not all incorrect. There are just certain teachings that I do not agree with. From the Catholic Church I then tried a new age type of Christian church where I was doing rather well and used to teach Sunday school with a friend of mine. Our group was the younger children so classes were mainly just reading stories and drawing pictures. I enjoyed my time with the church till one Sunday evening we were forced to watch a video where we were told about all the things that were inviting evil into our lives and homes. Basically everything was negative and evil according to this video and sadly everyone mindlessly agreed and started to follow these extremely Aneis de Vida
harsh rules and beliefs. I felt within myself that these things were only doorways to evil if you allowed them to be. I was always taught that beliefs, objects and so forth only had the power you gave to them. If you have a wind chime outside your home by your door it will only have the power you give it, some see it as a way to chase away negative beings, some only see it as an ornament that makes beautiful sounds in the wind, then others see it as a doorway to invite evil into your home. What you believe within yourself will be the right path for you. Do not allow others to convince you otherwise. So once again I had to walk away from the Church I was going to as their beliefs did not align with my own. Shortly after leaving the church my father left my mother for another woman and I entered my angry teenager phase because I felt as if my life was upside down and wanted to find something that would really get away from the teachings of the churches and what my parents thought were the right ways to be a human on earth. One evening while searching the internet I came across some Wiccan information that really spoke to me. I was finally reading information I agreed with and felt was in line with my beliefs. I started exploring Wicca and did very basic energy work. I was so happy and felt like I had finally found my path. It was very short lived however. Although my progress was rapid and my learning seemed to come naturally I was begged by a friend to please stop. She pleaded with me to please just stop what I was doing, because she was and still is a dear friend, I gave up Wicca and decided to be agnostic. To not follow any religion or particular belief system. It was during this time that I started experiencing psychic attacks every evening. From feeling like I was being pinned to my bed to feeling as if I was being choked. During the day I would see shadows out the corner of my eye and I
23

would even hear my name being called. I should mention that I have always heard my name being called by a woman’s voice all my life, especially when I am worrying about a situation. However, the voice I was hearing during these psychic attacks was a chilling voice, not the soothing motherly voice I was used to hearing. It was terrifying to experience especially when I was trying to ignore it as best I could. The fear and the attacks lead me to the Baptist church my boyfriend at the time was going to. I spoke about my gifts I’ve had since birth, the psychic attacks and the lucid dreams. I was told I was cursed, which resulted in them praying over me and asking for my gifts to be taken away. It all did go away except for the lucid dreams and the psychic attacks. Again after all this had happened I felt I had to walk away from the church as I resented the fact that my gifts were taken away from me. Once again I went back to being agnostic and I was happy. The psychic attacks stopped after 3 years and I have not been pinned, strangled or called by the chilling voice again. Since I started on my spiritual journey I have been attacked again, however I have not been physically harmed. From 2008 till 2013 I did not focus on myself with regards to my beliefs or what I felt was my journey in this life. I allowed life and our world to consume me. In 2013 after my grandfather passed away from stomach cancer and I had had a nervous breakdown my grandfather started coming to me in my dreams. It only took 3 visits from my grandfather for me to realise what he was doing. During the last dream I vividly remember sitting on the floor and my grandfather was above me, he smiled at me and I remember feeling I might not be seeing him again for a while. This dream came to me the night I had decided to stop ignoring my heart, I knew what I felt inside and I didn’t want to deny it anymore. I was still undecided as to what my first Aneis de Vida
step would be and that is when he came to me. I recall in the dream that I had a box on my lap, it was brown but I know it was a clue as to my first step. I woke up the following morning and started looking into Oracle and Tarot cards as if being guided by some unknown force. I had no idea how to even begin the searches or where to look but I was guided by my grandfather, my angels, spirit guides and the Higher Power (I call the higher power God. But each of us have our own name for the creator). It took me two weeks to get the courage and the money together to go and purchase my very first set of cards. I was still undecided as to whether or not I wanted tarot cards or oracle cards but I had faith that I would make the right choice. When the day finally arrived I think the store owner could just see how completely nervous and out of my element I was. While I stood in front of their cards on display simply just staring at the card decks in front of me not sure what to do, the store owner approached me and asked if she could assist me. Immediately I explained everything to her and she calmly explained everything I needed to know and asked me to show her which decks I felt I wanted to touch. I instantly picked up the Crystal Oracle Cards. They were the very first deck I had noticed. She then explained to me how they could be used and asked if I had any more questions or needed any extra information. I felt so much joy and excitement I thanked her for all her help and bought my cards. I could not put the cards down, I felt like I was holding the answer for my life long struggle with regards to my spirituality. From that day on I have not looked back and not once have I ever regretted my choice to finally accept that I am who I am because I am a spiritual being sent here to help others.
I think my lesson in all this was to learn to be true to myself and what I felt in my heart. To stop listening to other people and trying to fit into their idea of how I should be and just do

rriving at the beach, I noticed a young man touching this little Cape Cormorant. Usually Cormorants quickly move away from humans and will even snap at anyone attempting to touch or catch it. I immediately sensed something was wrong with this little fellow. I sat down close to him and watched him closely. He was sleepy, appeared too thin and weak. I started phoning around asking for any rescue centres to assist. Managed to find one whom was only able to collect him at 5pm, which meant it was up to me to catch and keep him safe.
tree is very beautiful. A tree to me is as beautiful as a cathedral – even more beautiful! I look into a tree and I see the whole cosmos in it. I see the sunshine in the tree. Can you see the sunshine? Yes, because without the sunshine no tree can grow. I can see a cloud in the tree. Can you see? Without a cloud there can be no rain and, therefore no tree. I see the earth in the tree. I see everything in the tree. So the tree is where everything in the cosmos come into, and the cosmos reveals itself to me in a tree. Therefore a tree to me is a cathedral, and I can take refuge in the tree, and I can get nourished by the tree.”
At the point of arranging for a box for him to be kept in, he shook his head, gave a few steps and flew in low just behind the shallow waves. He attempted to catch fish, but after a short while got washed out onto the beach again. I remained close by and kept a watchful eye on him.
I see this when I look at everything in Nature. Everything is in everything, which makes us all connected. Believing this, I then also must believe that Love is all-inclusive. The most sacred form of Love includes everything in that Love, with no exception. This is often so big to comprehend, but I do not believe it is Love when it excludes some other life forms.
What was disturbing was the way in which passers-by treated this little soul. Some were curious and took photographs. Others chased him, allowed their small dogs to chase him and some even tried to put a fishing net over his head as a joke. Very few people appeared concerned. I had a decision to make: intervening in nature is a conflicted choice. Cormorants live in colonies and this lone juvenile was most certainly lost and his survival threatened by this and ignorant humans. So I made the decision to catch him and take him back to George where he will be cared for and released back into the wild. It was confirmed that he is a juvenile and probably got separated from his colony as a result of the strong winds we have had recently. I am so happy to report that he survived the night. He was dehydrated and malnourished. But managed to feed and take down electrolytes. Holding out hope… This whole experience made me contemplate compassion, interconnectedness and love. Thich Nhat Hahn wrote a beautiful piece called ‘The Whole Cosmos in a Tree’: “Look at a tree. A wonderful thing is a tree. A Aneis de Vida
We talk about humanity, which is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as “the quality of being kind to people and animals by making sure that they do not suffer more than is necessary; the quality of being humane.” This concept however is reserved to humans. What word do we use when we see ‘kindness’ being practiced by animals? I am very mindful of the fact here that we often project human qualities onto animals, which is called anthropomorphism. Whether animals are kind or not, I believe they are real and true; they are genuine in their expression, whether we like or not; they are sentient beings, capable of Love. The kind of love I desire humanity to evolve into has a felt quality which is not reserved to the human race. Even the word compassion, in my opinion falls short of the idea of Love I have in mind. When we say that we embody love, we cannot reserve our love and limit it to a few. We cannot say we embody love when we feel compassion and empathy for human suffering, but exclude animals and nature from that. We cannot say we embody love, when our worlds are removed from the animal and natural world. What makes us love and care for those beyond 27

our inner circle? What makes us love nature, beyond the pleasure it gives us? What makes us love strangers beyond what they can mean and do for us? What makes us Love animals, beyond our self-serving needs? What makes us Love Earth, beyond her natural ‘resources’? I believe deeply understanding the interconnectedness of everything and truly appreciating the value of all life and the energy that flows between everything moves us towards that kind of love. Allowing this awareness, which is essentially an ancient truth, to become our living testimony, breeds a reverent humility, a desire for acting in the service of Love and an intuitive discernment in choosing a course in life which is Love. This is what I believe Love asks of us all: To carry the whole cosmos in a drop of Love.

One could count that as a gift too. Yet the greatest gift for him was walking outside to find that the sky was dark red and overcast, typical of a desert sky laden with hope of rain. What Gareth was not expecting was drops of rain to start falling from the heavens. At first, he was unsure that it was truly big heavy drops of rain, but upon realising that it was he stretched out his arms in absolute delight. Very soon he had removed his jacket and his tatty old t-shirt to be able to feel this miracle of life touching his shoulders. Arms once again outstretched he lifted his face to the heavens and said a prayer of thanks. Thank you to his Creator for the wonder of the rain on his face and body, thank you for his life no matter how difficult at this present moment. Many of his inmates must have thought he had gone insane, yet it was not too long when those who had sought shelter began to emerge into the rain as well.
Yet, and here is what makes one think that if you are prepared to use bribery and corruption you may very well find yourself walking free. These are cases that were in the papers for the public to read.
Was this a sign from a mighty power that things are about to change? Could it be that in the not too distant future, Gareth will be set free? Free from the prison which he should not even be in, Aneis de Vida

tion of the law, yet the people involved in these transgressions have walked free. How is this at all possible should be the logical question? Did they by any remote chance have better lawyers? Yes, of course this is a possibility but surely not all of them taking place in 2016. And the conclusion which one can come to, and probably the only logical explanation is that bribery and corruption is one of the key factors in their acquittal. The Kuwaiti judicial system seems to fail a great many innocents but seemingly is acquitting exactly those who need to learn dear lessons in life and yet are walking around as free people. From the point of saying that bribery and corruption is rife in the Kuwaiti system, one has to then say that those who were in the know with regards to Gareth’s case were not prepared to go that route at all. Not that this is in any way or form an acceptance of the role they played in his case. The reason for touching on the bribery and corruption taking place there, is not only to expose Gareth’s unjustified jail sentence but to highlight the plight of many in the jail who are there on absolute minor charges and have years of jail life ahead of them. And yet those who should be behind bars walk free because they are able and willing to pay for their freedom and can do so with the ‘’agreement’’ of the judicial system. Truly can you imagine sitting in prison because you either kissed or were kissed in public by the opposite sex? These are petty crimes in comparison to many of those who have been acquitted of their more serious crimes. Aneis de Vida
Gareth an innocent victim in a country’s jail that seems to care very little for true justice, and sadly Kuwait is not the only country in the world where this is happening but that is still no reason that it is or should be acceptable to anyone. It would be appreciated by those who started the petition to see justice for Gareth, if you were willing to sign the petition started. The link to the petition is: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/ the_office_of_the_amir_of_Kuwait_release_Gar eth_Rutherford_from_Central_Prison/? pv=0&fb_action_ids=10154263919768227&fb_ action_types=avaaz-org%3Asign
Perhaps with more and more exposure of what is happening within the judicial system of Kuwait, and pressure building from the outside, the British government will feel more comfortable to approach the Kuwaiti authorities or that the Kuwaiti authorities notice that the world has suddenly taken a more in-depth interest in what is happening to review Gareth’s case. Either way let us hope and keep faith that Gareth will be able to see his father before he too passes on.

he rise and waning of various religions and religious practices throughout the ages could be a reflection of natural changes and shifts in human consciousness and perception. For instance, with the evolving human ability to form abstract concepts, ideas involving God could have shifted between different levels or groups of archetypal figures and sub-personalities available to inner experience. For example, the earliest religions consisted of the worship of spirits which were said to animate mountains, trees and rivers, and the actions of these spirits were seen as responsible for natural phenomena. Later a series of polytheistic religions emerged, such as that of the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and Aryans. This suggested a movement away from an almost infinite amount of spiritual sub-personalities to a more finite number of gods or deities, which could very well be representations of archetypal personalities existing within the depths of a single universal singularity (a sort of collective mind).
Dr Jimmy Henderson is a cognitive scientist and metaphysician.
It has also been suggested that polytheism occurred at that time in history precisely because the human mind was still unable to conceive of a single being having so many different powers, aspects and attributes as has subsequently been revealed to the world. This would have only have become possible later with the further evolution of language, during which time monotheistic conceptualisations of God became possible.
His books are available on Amazon.com (Jimmy Henderson)
or via his website: www.discoveringyourself.co.za
As a result of the connection between the active role of the mind, differences in culturalhistorical interpretation and linguistic development, no conception of God can ever be viewed as illegitimate, only more or less complete.

Akashic Records
By Johan Swanepoel Aneis de Vida

he Akashic Records, are like a library of every soul’s actions, thoughts and emotions that have taken place on planet Earth and other planetary systems. All events, small or large are permanently recorded in the electromagnetic grid of the planet and cosmos. It is also referred to as the Book of Life. The Akashic Records contain all past, present, and future possibilities through the vibrations of compassion and joy. They are like the DNA of the Universe, containing a collection of everything that has occurred in the past, and they hold a complete set of information regarding possibilities for the future. Every individual soul has its own, unique Akashic Record. The souls of groups, events, organizations, and locations also have a unique Akashic Record.
Records. Every Being in the Universe contributes to and accesses the Akashic Records. Because we are all created by and connected to the energy of LOVE, our Divine birth right includes having access to the divine wisdom and knowledge, contained in the Akashic Records. I know many will say this is not true, for they cannot just download information as they need it…..that is also TRUE, FOR A REASON!
How do we access this information? Firstly, there has to be a question asked. We need to be aware that – the answer cannot come in the same Energy vibration that the question has been asked in.
What does this mean?

5.
Remove all things that do not build you up , things that bring you down are toxic to your body and mind . Others that harm us in any way are responsible for their actions, but YOU are responsible for your re action. Keep it positive. Walk away from the adverts on TV/maga zines, promotions that make you think you need to conform . You were born unique for a reason.
Watch your reactions to situations , find out which past memory button as been pushed and why. Your reaction is more toxic to your body and mind than the action that caused it. Listen to news and views objectively, there are always 2 sides to every story and then there is the truth through YOUR eyes, ears, thoughts and experiences.
6.
Do not spread anything that will cause negativity in your space, goodness can flow much faster if the road ahead is clear .
7.
Take time to be alone, to talk to yourself, and answer yourself, you may just find out how smart you really are.
8.
Sleep when you are tired and eat when you are hungry, your body knows much better than others what you need to be whole. Do not starve yourself of anything at any time, especially friendship, trust, love and alone ness.
9.
Your body and mind need to catch up with your soul .... take time to sieve away all that negativity that attaches itself to you during the day and refresh in a shower of rainbow water in your mind.
10.
Stretch at least 11 times a day, reach up to the sun, stars or moon , to thank them for giving you life, warmth and light
11.
Send love to those that harm you in mind, body and soul, do not let them add pounds of negativity to your life. They are not as important as you think. YOU are the most important person in your life, respect that , and start acting on it.
Remove all people and situations that belittle you, YOU are responsible for others using you as a napkin to wipe their insecurities on, in order to feel better about themselves. Walk away!

*1. Theme For The Month* Very few of us are living to our full potential these days, and new growth cannot take place unless we recognize that spiritual cleansing is equally important as physical cleansing is. Set time aside this month to work through things holding you back in life, and start the cleansing process. There is no right or wrong way to do this, you are urged to trust your gut. All the answers are within you. You know what needs to be done. *2. New Moon - Seed Planted* Stop the we within yourself. The conflict you have with yourself is blocking the flow of energy and creativity in your life. Turn to the absolute power, wisdom and strength of the awesome energy of your being that animates your body, to empower yourself with knowledge. Learn to understand more clearly the concept of soul and open hour awareness to receiving spiritual guidance. Create a sacred space, in which you can take quiet time to connect with your higher Self.

*3. Waxing Moon - What Grows*
Growth is a learning curve, and growth cannot flow when one avoids facing ones fear. Face all challenges head on, and don't be afraid to go deep within to resolve the inner conflict. The more you work on yourself, the easier it will become to maintain inner peace and spiritual balance. *4. Full Moon - What Manifests* Total healing can and will manifest, if you remain persistent in your efforts moving forward. However, if you are feeling overwhelmed by too much needing attention, take things a little slower. Focus on one Aneis de Vida

thing at a time. Prioritize and make adjustments as you progress through this journey of recovery. *5. Waning Moon - What To Release* Release the need to continually please others at the expense of yourself. It is of utmost importance to focus souly on your own spiritual progress. The progress of others is for those individuals to work through themselves. No one can walk another's path, so focus on your own path to make real progress. ~ Amethyst Moon Dancer )O(

ourists visiting South Africa tend to head to Mpumalanga for the Kruger Park experience or to visit the Western Cape with its iconic Table Mountain. Yet few venture into KwaZulu-Natal, a province with breath taking beauty and covering an area of approximately 92,000 km2.
in the Greater St Lucia area, and the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park were declared UNESCO World Heritage sites, so definitely a must see. In this province, you can follow in the footsteps of Zulu kings, and leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi. It is here too that you will be able to see the amazing sardine runs, beautiful dolphins and whales display their fun and warm inviting beaches.
This province comprises of three different geographical areas namely the Lowland region which runs along the Indian Ocean, the central Natal Midlands (an experience not to be missed) with its rolling hills and then the Plateau rising towards the west.
The climate is varied. The coastal areas are subtropical with the inland areas becoming colder. It is common for the Drakensberg area to have heavy snow during winter months. The north coast of Zululand has the warmest climate with the highest humidity.
The western Drakensberg Mountain and the Lebombo Mountain range form a solid wall of granite standing majestically and proudly for all to see. The Tugela river, the largest river in KZN flows across the centre of the province.
KwaZulu-Natal borders the following countries: Mozambique, Swaziland and Lesotho therefore making it easy to access into these neighbouring countries.
Kwazulu-Natal is rich in biodiversity of flora and fauna. The wetland park of iSimangaliso
