rection we go. I was fortunate to have interviews with two wonderful people. Rod Suskin a world renowned astrologer, author and teacher. His life he found to be rather normal (well he would considering he was living it) but I can tell you it is everything but the norm.

She was always compassionate but due to suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome has come to understanding on a deeper level, how important the interactions Time is marching onward and we are already of the total being truly is.

Soft spoken, kind hearted, beautiful inside and out and the cherry on the cake is she is a real Doctor with an untold amount of information to help you.

Once Kaz had finished school she went on to study medicine (western medicine). Throughout her training she would, after the students had prodded and probed, be the one to remain and ask questions of the patients such as how they were feeling within themselves and be more empathetic to their emotional wellbeing. She would get so frustrated that the medical profession was unable to see the overall wellbeing of a person as a whole. Western medicines seem to compartmentalise issues e.g. heart, stomach and liver. They are unable it seems to see the whole persona and overall life effects being the root cause of many illnesses. Kaz graduated from Wits University (Johannesburg South Africa) in 1983, still feeling unhappy as to how doctors were diagnosing and prescribing medication as a ‘’1 pill fits all’’. She worked in South Africa for 2 years then relocated to London UK where she started in the NHS system – she was completely shocked by the poor standard of medicine she encountered there. The physical cost to her was that she became covered in eczema from top to toe due to the stress she was enduring. October 2016
It was here that her husband suggested she go into homeopathy as that would be more in alignment with her thoughts and feelings. This was something she had not even considered before. Kaz contacted the Royal London Homeopathic hospital wanting to find out from them when they were running their next course and what was needed. Amazingly enough they were running a course at that very moment, however told her that it had already started 3 weeks prior and therefore she could not attend. Their story did not deter Kaz and she wanted to know whether they were therefore full. Of course there was still a space left which Kaz insisted she would take and so she did.
problems and had developed cancer. Cutting a long story short, on the back of all the stress she had in her life, in 1996 Kaz developed what is known as CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME.
After her studies Kaz and her husband lived and worked in London and Luxembourg for 5 years and returned to Durban South Africa in 1990. Kaz went back into the medical field working at the Westville hospital and doing locum work for various doctors. Resulting in her burning out completely. She was seeing up to 80 patients a day, had 2 young children and adding to her woes was the challenge of helping her parents move from their farm as her father had heart
she went to see – supposedly THE knowledgeable doctor - had the most amazing ‘’bedside’’ manner by saying to Kaz: ‘’If I had what you have I would take a gun and shoot myself’’. Further, he went on to inform her that at best she would be able to walk to her post box to collect the post or with some luck around her garden, but definitely exercise other walking to her post box or around her garden once, would be out of the question and she would

never work again. With Kaz sitting opposite him she looked him in the eye and said: ‘’I will come back and tell you I beat this” as she did not accept his diagnosis/sentence for the rest of her life. She walked out of his office with her head held She did not want to admit high, but getting into her car that she could have ‘’contracted’’ CFS, which is she burst into tears due to like having the worst case flu the frustration of it all. with memory loss.

She heard about the healing qualities of the SCIO machine being advertised by Beverley Joubert, who is a wildlife photographer for National Geographic and who brought the device into the country. Kaz phoned her and wanted to know if it really would work. Beverley said she needed to come and try. Well, Kaz couldn’t even get off the bed let alone get on a plane to fly to Johannesburg.

A plan was made and she received her sessions. 2 months later Kaz was well enough to open her own medical and homeopathic integrative medicine practice, mainly using her SCIO for diagnosis and treatments. Kaz also practices functional nutrition, functional medicine kinesiology, BHRT, SCENAR, DRIPS FOR VARIOUS ILLNESSES and coaching. Today she leans toward giving more workshops/retreats, speaks on the radio and she definitely does not go out from the point of view that one recipe to heal works for everyone, as we are all unique. After her recovery, a newspaper contacted her for an interview and she was to be featured in the middle-page spread.

re you aware that dreams can be put into astrological charts and interpreted in this way? Rod discovered this much later in life. Unbeknown to him his dreams were preparing him to become a Sangoma (a traditional healer) and to be able to read the tarot cards. During his dreams he had a man (in spirit) who would come through and teach him about the cards. Rod always paid close attention to his dreams.

For the next 12 months Rod would venture into Soweto every Saturday to have his lessons on becoming a Sangoma.

psychology belongs to psychologists. Astrology is a difficult subject matter and one needs to do a 3 year course to become an astrologer, most people who have taken this course online with Rod, at the end feel they have literally only dipped their big toe into the pond.
There is no direct overlap on his part with regards to bringing his Sangoma training into his astrological career. In part one would find the overlap only in the fact that astrology is also concerned with herbs as are the Sangoma traditions. In this way Rod tries as did the European astrologers to anaHow he copes with people lyse the African herbs.

taking after her father. Rod was also interested in the sciences, his father having been a scientist interpreted or chose to see that Rod was interested in the sciences and would eventually grow out of the ‘’weird’’ stuff. Their ‘’interpretation’’ allowed Rod to continue in his ways. Even when he was training to be a Sangoma and he started wearing beads, somehow it just went with the image he had because at that point he had long her down to his bottom, again resulting in no questioning from his parents and their idea was that it was part of the ‘’hippie’’ life style. He never told them what he was doing whilst training as a Sangoma. He does point out though that years before he had told his parents, their job was to support his choices. His father completely understood, not that his mother did not but she was more concerned that he needed to have a ‘’real’’ job. So with his announcement of his relocation to Cape Town and his decision to be an astrologer his father took a very deep breath and answered ‘’as long as you become the best astrologer in South Africa’’. Those words were quite amazing to Rod as his father did not believe October 2016
in astrology. In the 90’s Rod met his husband to be and who is also a Sangoma. It was then that Rod began wearing more beads and admitting that he was a Sangoma. His father uttered very wise words saying ‘’you know you are not even half way through your life and you are so lucky as you speak an African language and understand the culture, you will truly be a new South African’’. Rod says his father was an amazing man. Shortly before he passed away he told Rod that he was so pleased to have been able to live long enough to see all Rods dreams come true. Thanks to his parents he has been able to live his dream, and it’s the greatest gift that they could have given him. Rod would like to pass on to you that which he learnt from his father. No matter what, you must follow your dreams. Don’t question its financial viability, or what people will think. If in your
Aneis de Vida
heart you know what you love and want, then you need to try and find a way in which to do it forgetting the rest. To those who feel they are too old to change direction, Rod says, we are where we are meant to be. We unfold as every other creature on this planet. Firstly, relax and accept as it is not possible to go against your natural path. Secondly you are able to make new choices, as it’s never too late. Astrology says we learn and go through various cycles till the day we die, and that the majority of us will only begin to follow our true paths when we are into our 40’s.
more conscious and in as much he hopes that people are becoming more aware, starting to understand about consciousness/spirituality and the soul. Hopefully, little by little we will begin to treat animals better or so he would like to believe knowing that 60 million animals a day die due to human consumption. He points out there is a tendency and a greater knowing, and it all teaches us a greater levels of consciousness as how to treat all living beings. The pain and suffering we experience here teaches us to detach and in so doing seek a higher understanding and perspective.

“
Love is the essential existential fact. It is our ultimate reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life.” Marianne Williamson, Return to Love
Someone once said that they could never love another man’s child. This may be true as Love is a complex confluence of energies. It is even more complex when we blend families. In my work I get to witness the difficult journeys families go through when they get torn apart by death/tragedy, separate, divorce, re-unite, re-marry and blend with other families. One of the many challenges parents face in a blended family, is learning to love the children that are not their Aneis de Vida
own. Some parents manage to generously open their hearts and love their partner’s children as their own. Others struggle for a combination of complex reasons: their own psychodynamics, the child’s psychodynamics, the nature of the biological parent’s relationships to the child, the dynamics of the relationship the child was born into; own relationship to biological children; the new family structure and sibling relationships etc. It is complex to say the least and a recipe to fit all does not exist.
often love their nonbiological children more than they could have imagined. Love is not secured through biological bonds, but through the bonds of souls.
“We can never know in the beginning, in giving ourselves to a person, to a work, to a marriage or to a cause, exactly what kind of love we are involved with.

introduction to all its many astonishing and different forms, where we are asked continually and against our will, to give in so many different ways, without knowing exactly, or in what way, when or how, the mysterious gift will be returned.” ― David Whyte
If you are a member of a step-family, you know how difficult it can be to integrate all of the new members and adjust to the new boundaries and rules. The following ideas may help you navigate this challenging period of blending:
Have patience. Establishing new families takes time. Just because you love your new partner, it is unrealistic to think that you will automatically love his or her children. It is equally unrealistic to expect that your new partner’s Aneis de Vida
children will instantly love you. It can be difficult to accept that even though you wish to have a relationship with your stepchildren, they may not be ready for a relationship with you. “Love is the means of entry and our guide. Love keeps us on the labyrinthine path. If we can honor love as it presents itself, taking shapes and directions we would never have predicted or desired, then we are on the way toward discovering the lower levels of soul, where meaning and value reveal themselves slowly and paradoxically.” ― Thomas Moore, Care of the Soul Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition: Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness in Everyday Life
Expect to adjust. With proper help and guidance, children can recover from family disruption. All children experience a difficult adjustment period following a divorce or remarriage. It takes time, patience, and perhaps some professional assistance, but most children are able to regain their emotional bearings. It is critical that the adults manage their own emotional recovery in order to help the children adjust without trauma. 27
“We have faith in the potentialities of other, of ourselves, and of mankind because, and only to the degree which, we have experienced the growth of our own potentialities, the reality of growth in ourselves, the strength of our own power of reason and of love.” ― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving
If you are part of a part-time step-family, you may need a longer adjustment period. All relationships take time to grow and develop. When stepchildren see you less often, you have less time to get to know each other. This is why it may take a parttime step-family longer to move through the adjustment process. “When you really love someone, you shine the light of your soul on the beloved. We know from nature that sunlight brings everything to growth. If you look at flowers early on a spring morning, they are all closed. When the light of the sun catches them, they trustingly open out and give themselves to the new light.” ― John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
October 2016
Don’t expect your new family to be like your first family. If you expect that your stepfamily will be just like the family of your first marriage, you are setting yourself up for frustration. Your new family will have its own unique identity and will evolve in its own special way.
“I want the loved person to grow and unfold for his own sake, and in his own ways, and not for the purpose of serving me.” ― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving Expect confusion. Forming a step-family is a confusing time for everyone. Think about how confusing it is for a child to become part of two new families. All of the family members — parents and children — must learn to understand the new structure and learn to navigate the boundaries.

vorce or death. (They may have a new place to live and go to a new school; they may have lost friends in this process.)
28
Children have an especially difficult time resolving their grief when their parents are hostile with one another, when one or both of their parents remarry, and if they have trouble accepting their new stepparents.
“The heart is the inner face of your life. The human journey strives to make this inner face beautiful. It is here that love gathers within you. Love is absolutely vital for a human life. For love alone can awaken what is divine within you. In love, you grow and come home to yourself. When you learn to love and let yourself be loved, you come home to the hearth of your own spirit. You are warm and sheltered.” ― John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
Acknowledge the absent parent. When one of the original parents is absent, the children need a special October 2016
kind of understanding. An absent parent (who has died or who lives elsewhere and doesn’t visit) is part of a child’s past. The child must be allowed to have memories of this parent. The children who have access to both of their parents are those who adjust the best to divorce. They should be allowed to regularly speak with, visit, and write to their non-custodial parent.
they fit in. They are usually able to adjust to having two sets of rules as long as they are not asked to choose which is better.
“What would happen to our lives, our world, if the parent could unconditionally affirm the child, saying in so many words: “You are precious to us; you will always have our love and support; you are here to be who you are; try never to hurt another, but never stop trying to become yourself as fully as you can; when you fall and fail, you are still loved by us and welcomed to us, but you are also here to leave us, and to go onward toward your own destiny without having to worry about pleasing us.” ― James Hollis, Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life: How to Finally, Really Grow Up
“The hunger to belong is at the heart of our nature. Cut off from others, we atrophy and turn in on ourselves. The sense of belonging is the natural balance of our lives. Mostly, we do not need to make an issue of belonging. When we belong, we take it for granted. There is some innocent childlike side to the human heart that is always deeply hurt when we are excluded. Belonging suggests warmth, understanding, and Help the children fit in. Chil- embrace. No one was credren of step-families belong ated for isolation.

come vulnerable to fear and negativity. The sense of belonging keeps you in balance amidst the inner and outer immensities. The ancient and eternal values of human life—truth, unity, goodness, justice, beauty, and love are all statements of true belonging; they are the also the secret intention and dream of human longing.” ― John O'Donohue, Eternal Echoes Be clear about the rules. Ideally, both sets of parents should discuss the family rules and what will happen if rules are broken. When the adults agree on the rules, they should explain them to the children. Most successful step-families have learned that the rules should be decided together in the beginning, and that the biological parent should do the explaining and disciplining. The step-parent may have more involvement after the relationships with the stepchildren have been established. All of this works best when the parents can agree to be flexible and cooperative with one another. This may be difficult immediately following a divorce or remarriage, but it is important to October 2016

plain that when two people are unable to live together anymore, it doesn’t mean they love their children any less. This is especially important for the parent who has moved away, since the children will inevitably feel a sense of rejection. “Love allows understanding to dawn, and understanding is precious. Where you are understood, you are at home. Understanding nourishes belonging. When you really feel understood, you feel free to release yourself into the trust and shelter of the other person's soul.” ― John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom Expect resentment. No matter how good a parent you are, you will never be the biological parent of your stepchildren. It is natural for a stepchild to feel some resentment for you, especially when you are setting limits for their behaviour.
“Love is possible only if two persons communicate with each other from the center of their existence, hence if each one of them experiences himself from the center of his existence. Only in this 'central experience" is human reality, only here is aliveness, only here is the October 2016
basis for love. “Love, experienced thus, is a constant challenge; it is not a resting place, but moving, growing, working together; even when there is harmony or conflict, joy or sadness, is secondary to the fundamental fact that two people experience themselves, rather than by fleeing from themselves. There is only one proof for the presence of love: the depth of the relationship, and the aliveness and strength in each person concerned; this is the fruit by which love is recognized.” ― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving Show the children love.

T
he origins of birthstones, a stone assigned to each month of the year, is said to be an ancient one and traced back to the breastplate of Aaron as described in the book Exodus in the Bible. This was set with 12 gemstones that represented the 12 tribes of Israel. The breastplate was a religious garment, square and the gemstones were mounted on a gold base. These gemstones were set in four rows of three. There has been much debate about the order and the names of these gemstones partly because stones were not named properly and were usually named after city or country of origin.
Sometime during the first and the fifth centuries AD the connection between the 12 gemstones in the breastplate, the 12 signs of the zodiac and the 12 months of the year was made. The idea was that these stones had special powers associated with the corresponding astrological sign and that wearing these stones at the right time would have therapeutic or talismanic benefits.
Aneis de Vida
One translation lists the 12 stones of the Breastplate as follows: Sardius, Topaz and Carbuncle; Emerald, Sapphire and Diamond; Ligure, Agate and Amethyst; Beryl, Onyx and Jasper.
The concept of each person always wearing a gemstone corresponding with their month of birth is a modern idea traced back to 18th century Poland when Jewish gem traders arrived in the region. However, the list of birthstones as we know it was only defined in 1912. The Modern Birthstone List was created by the American National Association of Jewellers, Jewellers of America and officially taken up in 1912. It has remained unchanged since then, with only two recent attempts at changing it, both these involving the gemstone tanzanite. In 2002 the American Gem Trade Association announced that they added tanzanite as a birthstone for December, even though December already had two birthstones. This was accepted but on commercial grounds rather than talismanic ones. In 2006 39
an aspiring tanzanite cartel announced a marketing strategy to make tanzanite a birthstone, but they wanted it to be given at the birth of every child, regardless of the month. Clearly commercialisation of birthstones is complete.
Birthstones are precious or semi-precious gemstones, usually in the form of jewellery, with each gemstone representing a month, date, day of the week or sign of the zodiac, depending on which birthstone chart you refer to. Most commonly in the western world a birthstone represents a month of the calendar.

O
ctober is one of my favourite months of the year. The essence of Spring has fully materialized. The garden is bounding with new growth. The bird’s songs fill the early morning air with a vibrancy that it is not possible to keep one locked in the depths of slumber land. It is profound experience to be an observer of nature’s morning ritual. There is a purposeful energy that vibrates in the air. With the flowers in full bloom, the bee’s humming fills the air with a louder than normal buzz, it truly is a bugs life.
What of our life? Do we experience the brilliance of the season’s changes; The renewal and regeneration that the season offers? Do we feel the purposefulness of what the day has in store? Is this how we truly see our day, our life? Some may say, “It is just another day.” The weight of daily chores, of work and the continual aspects of life that show up, pushing the apparentness of what is. How can we be enthralled with life?

I would also have a repetitive nightmare of children being buried in the driveway at the one ladies house who took care of us during pre-schooling. Guess that’s the place where I learned fear, because how do some people control others? By instilling fear... In later years the dreams would increase until I found a man Aneis de Vida
by the name of Pierre in Fourways, Gauteng South Africa who helped me analyse my dreams over a fouryear period in which I recorded 44 dream journals full of dreams. He had the ability to connect to my higher self whom he said was a shaman and my ancestral guide my granny, “Ouma Saartjie”. They would explain to him what they tried to communicate to me through my dreams. It all being symbolic. During that period I had a greater understanding of what dreams are actually about. It reminded me that they are as ancient as the beginning of time. People always dreamt for a reason and in those times they had dream interpreters who could lay out the symbolic meaning of the dreams. On average I have four dreams a night and can usually remember them upon waking. Some catch my attention and then I know this one I need to take notice of, there’s a profound message in it. Sometimes I already get the meaning of the dream in the dream, and would either be extremely elated and happy or cry for hours in the dream and wake up with a sopping wet pillow and continue crying. Another person that would help me analyse my dreams was my mother 51
and her dragon guide. I would share my dream with them and through a movie type scene her dragon would show her what the message had been about.
I’m not professing that I know it all, I don’t. I’m still learning. So many have either the gift of dreaming or the gift of understanding the symbolism behind the dreams. I’ve been practicing the latter in the preceding years. These are a few of the things my Ouma (Granny) told me:
In 1981 at the age 9 she became Ancestral, my Guardian Angel and I only became aware of it when I was 30. She said that it was her choice to stay with me until I lay my head down for the last time on this earth plane. In 2004 she told me that I am alien to this world. I usually incarnate elsewhere, because I find this a very harsh plane. She explained to me that I choose to incarnate with Emotional Body at its maximum level for me to have an enhance experience. She said that where others go through an experience and to them it feels like a pin prick, to me it feels like an amputation. It’s the degree to which I feel. She assured me that I am much October 2016
loved & supported. She told me about the Blue Energy around me which Reconstructs Energy Field. She said I was destined for so much more. The first two affirmations she gave me was “I am Power” and “I am one with the Divine Infinite Source”. She advised me to find my own path for I couldn’t follow the paths set by others before me. Every now and then I would go through the “dark night of the soul” go through yet another initiation, another shamanic rebirth, another vibrational shift, another graduation and she said from ashes a new person arises with higher purpose. Her words to me were to “teach by example”. She said that I volunteered for portal access, that light being guides from other dimensions wanted to make contact. In 2007 I was
Aneis de Vida
told that I volunteered to be part of the experiment of forerunners to see if we can live in 4/5D in a 3D world. So that brings me to starting this group. Because I continue to dream and so do so many others do and some information is for self and some others can learn from as well. So many time people get visions or messages and don’t know what to do with it. We continue to venture in unknown territory, creating a new world for all to live in. Dreaming it into reality. I learned that spirit communicates with us in 101 different ways, not only in our dreams, but also in our waking hours with visions or clouds, or animals and it is for us to take note. Stop and see the sign for what it is. Divine synchronicity is happening daily. Spirit is communicating with you, are

you listening. Once I sat in a channelling with Michelle Manders and Kuthumi said that we should take note of the signs animals brings us, suggested the book by Ted Andrews - Animals Speak. I got that book and whenever I see an animal come into my space, crosses my path or enter my dreams I would look up the meaning. Or alternatively you can google it as a totem animal. I look forward in sharing my dreams with you and look forward to your dreams/ insights/omens and signs you get.

Oh those sore muscles after exercising or doing more than what your muscles are used to you doing. They are painful and they niggle till the muscles have comprehended that they are able to be more flexible than what they thought.
Coffee
Capsacin
Yes you are reading quite correctly. A cup or two of coffee before you go and do your exercise or walk can assist in blocking out the pain as it blocks out the compound adenosine which causes pain.
The main compound found in any of the spicy peppers. For instance your Cayenne Pepper also contains capsacin and therefore a wonderful ingredient in your food to alleviate muscle ache.
Water Here are 5 natural ways to beat the pain.
Beet Juice Who would have thought this little round vegetable could be used for aching muscles. Beets have natural electrolytes, potassium and sodium. Cut up your beet and juice it for maximum results.

Accounted for all the ups and downs of my circumstances And chartered each value on the graph of my soul’s blueprint. I know my gains and my losses And see that they all cancel each other out Very neatly in organised pigeonholes.

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 series (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.

ratitude:
How is it that this little word and as a feeling is so important? Gratitude, which rhymes with "attitude," comes from the Latin word gratus, which means "thankful, pleasing." With the feeling of gratitude, you're pleased with what someone did for you and also pleased with the results. Unlike indebtedness, you're not anxious about having to pay it back. But it's still great to tell the recipient of your gratitude, how much they mean to you. So where does this little word fit into our lives? Let’s observe at how we create in life. Firstly, always come from a point of Gratitude for your life, and for all the successes and good fortune. Usually you will have a thought of your desires and needs. This thought will be changed into words. The words will be written down, changing the thought into the world of energy. While writing it down, you have an emotion about your ideas or words, in the now. How will this make you Aneis de Vida
feel? With this emotion you create a picture of how you will feel about your wish. This lifts your Energy vibration to become the new me Energy vibration. What you want in your life…..and the experience or gift becomes part of your life.
of a change that you need. You will know what you don’t want and are having a desire or wish for that which you do want. As soon as you think of that change, the Universe – Source Energy creates it in an instant – no time. Time is only part of our moment of now…. Meaning, where do you stand in this process of creation? Are you coming from a state of lack – the past, or believing it will come sometime – the future? Or do you stand in the moment of now, just knowing that you are the creator of your experience, standing in Gratitude for which you know you will and have – received? We can only create when we stand in Gratitude. Nothing comes from the world….. It is all from within and with the Self-standing in the moment of now. From there, every thought of your new dream, must be where you see yourself in the present moment of now. Already having it and having the emotion of Gratitude of how you feel, having received your new gift.
Should you wish for more or change in your life, you must have gratitude in the now moment. As soon as you are angry or have thoughts of regret it brings about more of that which you don’t want. Being in Gratitude, it holds the status quo and brings in the new change you long for. Standing in Gratitude lifts your Energy vibration and brings you into the present moment. This will lift your vibrational Energy and makes it compatible with whatever other vibration or gift you wish for. Your vibration becomes a universal vibration, compatible with any other vibration that you want to link within your life. Focus on the now, Because you are a Creative what are your thoughts at Energy and a Multithis time.

ankbaarheid: oekom is dit so belankrik?
In jou gedagtes kan jy sien wat jy wil hê en hoe jy voel oor wat jy wil hê. Hierdie nuwe gevoel, emosie wat jy het lig jou Energie vibrasie om aan te pas by jou wens of skepping wat jy in jou lewe wil inbring...... as jou skepping en jou eie Energie Vibrasie harmoniseer, vind jy jou skepping, as ‘n realiteit in jou lewe.
Wat is die betekenis van die woord Dankbaar: Dit is om bly te wees oor ‘n positiewe gebeurtenis in jou lewe? "Dit is nie geluk wat ons dankbaar maak nie, dit is dankbaarheid wat ons gelukkig Wanneer jy verandering in jou maak" lewe wil bring, staan in dankbaarSo, hoekom is hierdie woord so heid vir wat jy het en vir wie jy is belangrik in ons daaglikse lewe. in die nou oomblik. Wanneer jy na jou lewe kyk en dit kritiseer of Kom ons kyk eerstens hoe skep met jouself fout vind of berou het ons in ons lewens. oor jou omstandighede, bring dit Eerstens moet jy in dankbaar- meer van dieselfde omstanheid staan vir die voorspo- dighede in jou lewe in. Wanneer jy dus in Dankbaarheid staan vir ed en sukses in jou lewe. Wanneer jy iets wil hê of skep wat jy het, vir jou huidige lewe, in jou lewe begin dit eers bring dit verandering mee. as ‘n gedagte. Jou gedagtes word omskep in woorde. Wanneer jy die woorde neerskryf, anker jy die gedagtes in die Energie Wereld. Terwyl jy dit neer skryf ervaar jy ‘n emosie omtrent hierdie skepping wat jy in jou lewe in bring. Raak bewus van jou emosies, watter emosie ervaar jy met hierdie skepping. Hierdie emosie laat ‘n prent in jou gedagtis vorm van hoe jou skepping lyk. Aneis de Vida
Om net in Dankbaarheid na jou lewe te kyk, bring verandering in
jou lewe. Dit lig jou Energie Vibrasie. Jou Vibrasie word ‘n Universiële Vibrasie wat kan inskakel met enige positiewe wens of begeerte wat jy het. Waarop fokus jy jou gedates? Dink waar aan jy dink. Moet nie jou gedagtes net laat ronddwaal oor onbenullighede nie. Enige iets wat in jou lewe gebeur is ‘n refleksie van waarop jy fokus, die emosie wat jy daaroor het en 70
die beeld wat dit in jou gedagtes vorm is wat jou realiteit word. Daarom sê ek weer: ”Dink waaraan dink jy, waarop fokus jy jou gedates!” Alle negetiwe ervarings in jou lewe is nie noodwendig sleg nie, jy leer daar uit en terselfder tyd wys dit jou ook wat jy eerder wil hê. Jy weet wat jy nie wil hê en jy weet wat jy wil hê. Sodra jy dink aan verandering wat jy wil hê, word jou droom vervul deur die God Energie, “ the Universe Energy, Source Energy” in die oomblik van Now – geen tyd. Dit vind onmiddelik plaas. Jou Energie Vibrasie en die Energie Vibrasie van wat jy wil skep in jou lewe moet nou op die selfde Frekwensie kom. Die enigste werklike tyd waarin ons kan skep is in die oomblik van nou” the moment of now”. So waar staan jy in hierdie oomblik van Skepping? Kom jy van ‘n tekort in jou lewe, die verlede of, ek sal dit nog kry, die toekoms? Staan jy in die oomblik van nou, jy het dit reeds gekry. Die Bybel sê: “ wat jy vra, glo dat jy dit reeds het en dit sal so vir jou wees” Onthou jy is die skepper van jou lewe. Moet nie ander blameer vir wat fout gaan in jou lewe nie. God is nie hier om jou lewe te leef nie, jy moet dit leef, vra God vir hulp en hulp sal jy kry.
Continue Reading on following page: October 2016
Ons kan net skep in ons lewe as ons kom van dankbaarheid. Onthou dat niks kom vanuit die wêreld nie. Alles is reeds vir jou gee. Alles is in jou. Kyk in jou hart dit kom van binne met die gevoel van Dankbaarheid en die Energie Vibrasie dat jy dit reeds het. Sien jouself in die oomblik van NOU as die nuwe jy wie jy werklik is. In Dankbaarheid vir die mooi en die vervuldheid in jou lewe.
Onthou jy is ‘n Skeppende Energie en ‘n Multi-Dimensionele wese.

that, and letting your dreams, wants, wishes, float around like leaves in an autumn breeze, dancing this way and that …. this is not the time to dance, this is the time to really get down and focus, make plans, make lists, grow your ideas and objectives, visualize the final outcome and work backwards making sure you have covered every single element no matter how small.
What do YOU need to do to get the ball rolling? Take that step, and keep the focus, no one can do this but you. You have to take that first brave step, only then does the Universe step in and help align what you need ….. Do not give up hope of achieving that final vision, know the Universe has your back ….. if you truly desire a specific outcome and have asked for assistance…..
Messages from the Master, are channelled conversations with Atenar, a Master Healer, Spirit Guide, my personal Gate Keeper, SoulMate, Best Friend and Advisor

It is time to get out of the rut, think hard on what you really want and focus on that journey, close your mind off to the distractions around you, the technology around you, be tunnel visioned if only for a few hours a day …. this may well be needed to reach your objective.

Hello dear children of the light it is I Michael and it gladdens me so to speak to thee all consciously today. Exciting times lay ahead my dear ones, this is the time of mastery, a time of claiming your ascension into the higher realms of light. The journey of mastery takes much discipline and steadfastness and I would like to give to thee all a meditation to do each and everyday to keep thine light levels at an optimum vibration. Be still and call upon the beings of light that walketh with thee. Ask of them to take thee to the highest realms of light. Once in this inner place of great light, envision before thee a bed of white light. Lay upon this bed and see and feel a golden light flowing through and all around you.

*NEW MOON SPREAD*
*1. THEME FOR THE MONTH* This month you are urged to take a good look at how you behave emotionally. Do you act out or just react to life so that you can please others or just get some sort of response..? Understand how damaging this can be...You are not here to please others or live as they expect you to live. Find the balance between being kind to others and being kinder to yourself. *2. NEW MOON - SEED PLANTED* (1 October)
The only constant in life is change...If you have been feeling like things just dont move fast enough, this could change before you know it. But you have to stay on top of things and keep moving with the flow of change. Movement creates direction and direction gives you stability. So keep moving forward.

Amethyst Moon Dancer )O(
Your inner strength can help you create any reality you choose. And as you learn to master your emotions, this inner strength can be very useful in your progress. Ground your ideas. It is time to prepare and plan, and remove all obstacles in preparation for new adventures to come. Identify weaknesses and turn them into strengths. Realise that you can have the abundance you seek, if you also realise the abundance already within you.

*4. FULL MOON - WHAT MANIFESTS* (16 October)
Resistance to the changes around you is a direct result of a need to control ones destiny. And whether you choose to believe it or not, very little in life can be controlled. Resistance creates more obstacles to deal with, so relent to the change and learn to trust the natural rhythms and flow of life. Go with the flow and allow yourself to be guided into new and wonderful things in your life. *5. WANING MOON - WHAT TO RELESE* There is a saying that states: "To remain silent is also an answer." Often when faced with a difficult situation or question our immediate response is to find an quick answer...Choosing to say nothing can help greatly at this time. Now is the time to listen rather than to speak... Open your awareness to everything in your environment and trust your instincts. Release the need to control every outcome. Some things cannot be forced. They need to just happen. Flow with the change... ~ Amethyst Moon Dancer )O(

October 3 Card Reading 1—10 October There is a puzzle that you are trying to solve—you have all the pieces to put it together and come up with the right answer during this time. For some it will be a time where your attention is being sought. Encountering drama with others and petty quarrels. Keep yourself in a positive mode and your ethics at the highest possible form.
11— 20 October Feel like giving up? Don’t! Look for that silver lining in this situation— there definitely is one. Others at this time may have a wonderful new idea—pursue your idea/dream and don’t let others or difficulties stop you. There could be some communication problems all round at this point in October, make sure how you address situations/people not to cause undue animosity with others.
21— 31 October Procrastinating on that new challenge? Now is the time to get yourself into gear and move on that which you are wanting to do. No better time than the present—believe in yourself enough to get started. If you are looking at furthering your education or doing some form of training in educating yourself further, this is an ideal time to do so. Expect some solid and good advice from an unexpected source.
