September arrives, I notice wild flowers by the side of the roads, the fresh, crisp air and everything looks and feels alive. Have you ever taken a moment out to gaze into a spring flower? It feels like bliss in that moment; there is simplicity yet everything feels complete and there is a richness and depth of experience beyond words.

It’s that time of the year when we come out of winter hibernation and ‘step up’ those plans for the latter part of the year with a little spring effervescence!! The general consensus from our contributors this month is it’s the perfect time for fresh starts and new beginnings. It’s also a popular time of the year for detoxing and clearing on all levels.

But before you rush out and Feng Shui your home or get over zealous with your long list of ‘to dos’…. remember to take time out to stop and smell the roses! By the time

Another experience for me this month which was beyond words, was interviewing the phenomenal Pete Murray!!!! Such an amazing artist but so down to earth and great to hear that after taking three and half years off to ‘cruise’, he is back with a brand new album and a whole new vibe!!

(See page 4&5).

Breathe in spring and enjoy the new edition!!!

He blew us away with a string of number one albums and captivated us with his distinctive ‘cruisey’ vocals, signature acoustic sound and deep, reflective lyrics.

But even though Pete’s a mega star and has sold over a million albums, he is a humble man who takes success in his stride. I was fortunate to speak with Pete on the ‘eve’ of the release of his new album ‘Blue Sky Blue’…. In fact, I spoke with him while he was on the road (driving his Combie around Byron Bay) and found out why he has a bit of a spring in his step…..

After a three and half year hiatus, Pete has come back with a jaw dropping debut single ‘Always a winner’ and it’s a real shift from his earlier style of music…he’s clearly reinvented himself but his music still comes from a place of honesty. This time he has gone for an upbeat, electric sound…and even managed to sneak a few Bruce Lee moves into his new film clip… so we see a different side of him but it still sounds like the Pete we all know and love!

“The time off was great! I’ve had a lot of down time and a lot of surfing time for the last few years. Just surfing and spending time with my boys was great and I spent 18 months writing the album. I wanted to make it positive and powerful and something that people can connect with,” he says.

Pete believes the album is reflective of being in a different place in his life. He has had time to process his divorce and spend time with his two boys, Charlie (7) and Pedro (4). “I’m enjoying life not being so hectic.

I’m in a good head space and I want that to come out in the songs. ‘Always a winner’ is reflective of the album; it’s all electric and it was a definite decision to move away from the laid back acoustic songs and do something different.”

Pete has written the album with ease and grace. He says there wasn’t any pressure to get the album out in a hurry and the songs came to him at their own time and pace.

With the world of technology he was able to do some of the production of the album in Los Angeles via the internet.

“Trying to stay at a high level of motivation is hard but I’ve always been a driven person.

I have a five album deal with Sony and this is something I can do for the rest of my life. But you need to constantly change your goals to keep your motivation up.

That pushes you- if you don’t change your goals and you’re not achieving, then your motivation drops off.”

Taking time out and finding balance in life is also a priority for Pete. Getting in the ocean is a ritual and some of his favourite places to surf in the world are at Byron Bay in particular Wategos beach. (He also previously lived in Eureka in the Byron Bay Hinterlands where he wrote his third album). Pete prefers to live by the water in Byron these days and feels he has a blessed life. “A lot of artists move out here to Byron.

I really struggle going to the city. I get out

of there as fast as I can. Byron Bay is an amazing place and one of the healthiest places to be, the food is healthy, organic and fresh. Everyone loves their lifestyleit’s all about being outdoors and being healthy and having a good time. They aren’t trying to get a high paid job and live in mansions. It’s really about a coastal lifestyle and that’s what attracts me to it.”

For someone who didn’t aspire to be a singer/songwriter he’s achieved some amazing things. As a young man Pete attended St Joseph’s Nudgee College in Brisbane and was interested in pursuing a career in rugby but a knee injury got in the way of this path and he studied natural medicine instead. Eventually he realised that he had musical talent and liked the idea of travelling and meeting new people rather than being restricted to working in a clinic. The rest of course is history….

“I’ve never done things for money. The lifestyle comes first and you’ve got to be happy. Even when I played rugby it was all about sport for me, when I did natural medicine I thought that would be a good job and I could also work with sporting injuries etc. I wasn’t looking at being a billionaire. There are a lot of rich people in the world who aren’t happy. They seem to want more and more. I’m happy with very few things. It’s a good way to be.”

So what helps keep Pete grounded and what has helped him deal with fame?

“I’ve had a good upbringing. I grew up in a country town, I have great friends and family. I had some stress later in life and when you’re a bit older you can handle success better. A lot of people find their egos get ahead of them and then they can get themselves in trouble. When I was young Mum and Dad sat me down and talked to me about bragging. They said if you have to brag then you have to tell people you’re good so you must not really feel good about yourself,” he says.

Talking to Pete is like listening to his music- he’s real, genuine and talks freely about his feelings and views on life. “I feel a bit nervous about the new albumbecause it’s a change. It’s something I’ve

done differently.” He says you have to believe in yourself and sometimes it’s hard but you have to keep putting your work out there and do what feels right.

“Once you try and please other people

you run into trouble. I push myself to keep the change going musically and work on keeping myself happy. Whatever I feel is the right thing at the time for me… that will be what I do.”

Traditionally in Australia, September is the time to spring clean your home. It’s time to freshen everything up, spend time revitalising and re-energising after the slower, reflective, hibernating energy of winter.

With the essence of spring – growth, blossoming and renewed activity - it is also a perfect time to spring clean our minds. Why not begin the ‘rebirthing’ season with an invigoration of our most powerful manifesting tool. Here are five ways to get you started.

1. Open Up The Windows Have you been looking through the dirty glass of old patterns? Habitual perceptions give you the same view every time. Open up the window and allow the fresh perspective to shed light on what patterns are holding you back.

2. Clean Out the Cupboards What beliefs are hiding at the back of the cupboard, taking up space and collecting dust? Are they ‘hand me downs’ from your parents, from a teacher, from your religious persuasion? Discard your outdated, disused beliefs and replace the space with new ones that are practical and authentic to you.

3. Dust and Polish When was the last time you took your values off the shelf and gave them a spit and polish? Our values are what guide us, our signposts, our indicators of alignment. Are your old values still important enough to you to be ‘displayed’?

Show your top values with confidence and integrity.

4. Declutter You can’t function properly when you are residing in clutter. It constricts your movement, confuses your options, drains your energy. What noise and busyness is clogging up your mental space? What needs

to be cleared away so that you have room to breathe? Give your mind clear space to create the life you want.

5. Mirror Mirror When you look in the mirror is it covered with negative (re) marks? Do you see a distorted image? Is it clean enough to be able to see your true beauty? What disparaging self-talk is generated in your mind when you gaze at your life reflected? Wipe away those thoughts that don’t support your ability to shine.

With the spring clean complete, your mind will have renewed vigour to support you in fresh growth and vibrant creation.

Pad Thai Serves 1 Our chefs love Pad Thai as much as everyone, but it always turns into a gluey mess when cooked in large quantities. These instructions are for cooking Pad Thai for a single serve.

If you are cooking for more than one, prepare all the ingredients then stir fry each serve separately.

The Spirit House restaurant, designed as an open pavilion surrounded by individual garden courtyards grouped around a tranquil lake, opened in 1995.

Drawing on the flavours of Asia, and utilising the range of quality fresh produce available from local growers, the menu fuses the herbs, spices, exotic ingredients and techniques of the east with traditional western cuisine. At night the Spirit House turns into a magic wonderland as hundreds of fairly lights, candles and bamboo flares reflect in the pond.

And with hands-on, interactive classes everyday featuring exciting Asian recipes, the Spirit House cooking school has become a Mecca for food lovers.

Should only take a few minutes a serve if you have everything ready in advance.

The best known of all the Thai noodle dishes, a vendor can whip up a single plate of Pad Thai in a few minutes. The following recipe is traditional market-style, which means it has no meat or seafood. These can be added at your discretion.

Ingredients: 60g dried thin rice noodles 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 golden shallot, peeled and sliced 1 egg, lightly whisked 1 tablespoon light palm sugar 1 tablespoon tamarind water 2 tablespoons fish sauce 50g firm bean curd, cut into 1cm cubes 1 tablespoon dried shrimp, rinsed

Sandy Forster’s

Business with Soul tip: Why not use a simple but powerful strategy that evokes the Law of Attraction to build your business? Years ago when starting a new venture I affirmed “I am now a debt free millionaire.” However, when I said it my mind screamed “Liar, liar, pants on fire. You are so NOT a millionaire, who are you kidding, you’re broke.” To attract something into your life, you have to believe it. So I eased myself into that affirmation by adding “I am now ready to accept that I am now in the process of becoming a debt free millionaire,” now that I could believe.

As I consistently repeated my affirmation for weeks I began to drop the additional words and affirm “I am now a debt free millionaire,” and this time I believed it. A short time later I had the best month ever, making over $46,000 - which was more than I’d made in the last 3 years combined.

Don’t underestimate the power behind a simple affirmation and use them to boost your business today!

Spice Up Your Life!

Celery Seeds Each spring, we feel the need to have a good clean out either at home, at work or simply getting our bodies in shape ready for summer.

By Vicki Taylor Celery seeds help the removal of toxins from our bodies. They are an effective blood purifier and promote the cleansing of uric acid crystals from the joints. This is great for people who suffer from arthritis and gout as it relieves pain. There are lots of health benefits this powerful spice brings... here are just a few ways this spice may assist:

• Aids digestion • High in calcium - good for mending bones • Helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure • Muscle spasm relaxer • Natural diuretic The seeds have rather a strong bitter taste if eaten by themselves. Use in chutneys & pickles, potato salads, dressings and soups. They can be baked into breads but my favourite is crushing the seeds up with salt and mixing in with one of my favourite tipples, the Bloody Mary. (Don’t forget the celery stick!) Enjoy! www.redhotchillipepper.com.au

Cath Manuel is a local lady with an ‘organic green thumb’ who’s passionate about helping people develop a more sustainable life! Not only does she help people transform their gardens and lives (helping them save money long term), she adds her feminine touch at the grass roots level.

“I feel the need to share my knowledge with anyone who wants to make the change to a greener life but needs help doing so. I‘d like people to feel that by making these changes they are not only improving their life and health (and their family’s), they are also helping our planet too,” says Cath.

Cath is a mother of two, as well as a sustainable property consultant, horticulturist and permaculture designer. “I get this great feeling of satisfaction when I can grow, harvest, cook and serve the one’s I love some delicious new concoction or one of our old favourite dishes and I really feel this from my heart. Maybe it’s a girl thing or being a mum, but I do get the warm fuzzies when I serve up a great meal or some jars of preserves that I know I’ve put all the hard work into producing. This is what I want everyone to feel,” she says.

Thinking of making a tree change? Cath offers small acreage or semi-rural sustainable property evaluations for anyone looking at purchasing a property with the view to establishing a permaculture or self- sufficient system on their property. “I can assist clients by helping them understand what their needs are, what systems they would like to establish and then offering my evaluation of a property’s potential. Once clients have found their perfect place to be, then I can also assist them in establishing their sustainable systems and provide ongoing support.”

By growing your own food, you not only transform your backyard, you are doing your bit for the community. This can be achieved by making a few changes like composting, reducing waste and limiting or removing the use of chemicals on yourselves and around your home. Taking these small steps will have a positive impact and before you know it, you’ll be incorporating these and other principles into everyday life with ease and grace.

Not only does Cath work with businesses and schools, she also runs cutting edge ‘Sustainable Organic Workshops’ in a fun and interactive setting. These informative workshops are held regularly at Cath’s property on the Sunshine Coast and she also travels to people’s homes to conduct them. “I wanted to share my knowledge for growing organic food with everyone and host them at my home. Recently I held a workshop at home on ‘Growing Bananas in your

Backyard’. It was a wonderful morning and I think everyone gained more knowledge on growing bananas and realised how easy they are to grow. We shared a beautiful morning tea after the workshop and one participant said “It was a relaxed and personal approach to learning”. This is how it should be; a nice group of people learning skills to benefit their life.”

So now with spring upon us it’s a perfect time to think about your wish list and starting a kitchen garden, a compost bin or making some plans to live a little lighter on this earth.

It’s such an easy transition to make, yet so rewarding. “I’m already thinking about what we’ll eat this summer, like salads, food on the barbie and my home made sweet chilli sauce, so I’ll need to get everything planted now!!” she laughs.

Gone are the days when you sat down to a dinner of meat and three veg. Having a dinner party these days involves checking if the guests are vegetarian, gluten free, lactose intolerant or purely into raw food. While this is a reflection of people making more conscious choices about what they put into their mouths, it also reflects the increasing number of people finding that they are unable to digest their food.

More and more people are finding themselves intolerant of foods they have always eaten or reacting unfavourable to certain foods. In seeking relief from digestive imbalances, the focus is usually on removing the offending item from the diet. When faced with allergies and digestive problems naturopaths will often recommend a diet free of dairy, wheat and sugar.

This will generally improve the situation but it doesn’t get to the root cause of the problem.

Drugs, both prescriptive and recreational, excessive intake of alcohol, poor diet, restrictive diets and intense periods of stress can all deplete the body and create imbalances in the digestive system. Following periods of physical or toxic stress, food which you may have previously enjoyed can cause

discomfort and reactions in the body. The food has not changed but the machinery for digesting and metabolising it has.

Ayurveda understands the vital importance of the digestive system in the processing of food and drink into all the parts of our physiology. From our varied and sometimes chaotic diet, bones, blood, tissues, cells and organ systems are created. The body tries to extract all the nutrients and goodness from what we consume to make fuel for our mind and body. How much we can absorb and utilise is dependent on the overall function of our digestive system. Through pulse diagnosis the state of the digestive system can be felt as well as the person’s unique constitutional type.

When the liver is blocked with the effects of improperly digested substances or overloaded by processing pills and toxins, even a healthy, organic diet won’t be properly metabolised. If the digestive fire is weak and the channels of the body are coated with impurities, losing weight will be difficult even if the overall food intake is less. Similarly cholesterol can remain high, despite reducing fatty foods, if stress levels are high.

Maharishi Ayurveda takes an holistic look at all the aspects of digestion and all the

factors that influence how we process our food. When, how, where and why are just as important as what we eat. Understanding of the doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha are also necessary for determining the most appropriate diet for each individual.

When balanced, a fiery Pitta can enjoy harder to digest foods including salads and some raw vegetables, while an airy Vata predominant person would feel overloaded and bloated from such a diet, preferring soupy, cooked foods. Earthy Kapha natured people are more prone to congestion and dullness if they eat lots of dairy products while Vata and Pitta types are balanced by moderate amounts of milk, ghee and soft cheeses.

If you feel tired after eating, experience bloating, reflux or constipation, have a poor appetite, find it hard to lose or gain weight, lack energy (despite sleeping well) or have developed an allergy or intolerance, it is worth paying attention not only to what you eat but how well you are digesting your food.

Spring is a fantastic time for growth, expansion and upliftment. The sun is out, the flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing and new shoots and buds spring forth with the fresh promise of ‘newness’; new activity, new creations and new beginnings.

And so it is a perfect time within us to really shift up the emotional scale to those expansive, expressive, joyful, blissful powerful, radiating emotional energies. In fact this is our true nature yet you have to allow yourself to shift within to that uplifting vibration, in which you can fully perceive, attract and create more blissful experiences that reflect that. And you can do that consciously rather than just stumble across that occasionally, or by chance(or just at this time of the year!).

So how do you consciously shift your emotions?

Notice where you are on the emotional scale at the present moment. Are you at the bottom (powerlessness, fear, despair), or a little further up at anger, blame, disappointment or frustration?

Are you in the positive range of emotions such as contentment, or even further up

WAX PACK 1/2 leg, underarm, bikini & eyebrow wax

the scale at optimism, enthusiasm and passion? Or are you right at the top with joy/ empowerment, love and freedom?

Wherever you are, set your intention towards feeling the emotion that is higher up from where you are. Ask yourself what is a better ‘feelingthought’ that you can have right now either about the dominant subject in your life or just switch over to the best ‘feeling-thought’ you can have about anything in your life.

For example, if you are feeling doubt about something in your life and you’d like to move up a few notches to contentment ask yourself: ‘What am I content about right now?’ Feel your answer, luxuriate in it. Let yourself feel the contentment that life brings you through a particular aspect of your experiences.

Once you’re fruitfully feeling contentment and radiating it out, let’s go for the gold at the top. What can you feel joy and bliss about right now?

Ask, let it go and let the answer flow in. Let it soak through every cell, let it infiltrate every breath, let the joy and

bliss live here now within you.

If you’d like hands-on emotional support in moving up the emotional scale from any stuck emotions into the abundance of your joy, bliss and love, a session with Izabella may be just what you need.

What is Oil Pulling?

By Jenni Madison

I discovered coconut oil during my own healing journey while living in Thailand in 2009. During my initial research I actually wondered if it were truly possible that coconut products, in particular coconut oil could be so incredibly healthy, versatile and positively effective in so many ways.

I then experienced the benefits for myself and realised that I was questioning the power of Mother Nature. When thinking about it in this way I decided that yes, She does have the power to heal, nourish and nurture us to better health and natural beauty.

One of my most interesting discoveries in the use of coconut oil as a natural body medicine was the ancient Ayurvedic health tradition known as oil pulling. Oil pulling as we know it today, was introduced by Dr. F. Karach, MD. Dr. Karach claimed that oil pulling could help a variety of illnesses ranging from heart disease and digestive troubles to hormonal disorders. He said it helped him recover from a chronic blood disorder and arthritis, which at times was so painful he was bed ridden. He used the method in his medical practice with great success.

Our mouths are the home to billions of

bacteria, viruses, fungi and other parasites and their toxins. It is these types of germs and their toxic waste products that cause gum disease, tooth decay and contribute to other potentially serious health problems.

By expelling these harmful substances from our bodies, our health is greatly improved and we have more energy.

Sunflower and sesame seed oils have been commonly used for oil pulling. I prefer to use coconut oil because of its many additional health benefits.

According to Dr Bruce Fife, the antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties of coconut oil make it effective in brightening teeth, healing gums, preventing bad breath, quenching inflammation, and healing oral infections. It is also known to improve digestion because of its detoxifying effects on the body.

WHAT TO DO: Oil pulling is best done first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

Simply put a tablespoon of coconut oil inside your mouth and swish it around for 10-15 minutes. As you swish the fat enzymes in the oil literally ‘pull’ the toxins, bacteria and other debris out from the body’s cells, blood and gut, simultaneously cleaning the surface

of your teeth. When finished discard the oil and wash your mouth. Try not to swallow the oil because it is loaded with bacteria, toxins, pus, and mucous.

If you use a mild flavored coconut oil it is quite pleasant in the mouth. If required this can be done more than once a day and is best done before meals on an empty stomach.

A HANDY TIP: Some people say “15 minutes that’s a long time!” Here’s what I do, while swishing I get on with other things (have a shower, iron my clothes etc).

The world is now re-discovering the wonderful health and beauty benefits of coconut oil. It seems to have re-emerged as the miracle healing oil. I now refer to it as Mother Nature’s magic.

Enjoy with radiant health and beauty!

and yet those old ways keep showing up.

Why was that? What sabotaged you, took you off track? Your goals were healthy, they made sense, right? So what kept undermining you and holding you to your old standards?

Wring out the old and bring in the new! By Kevin Billett Kevin Billett is the co-founder and CEO of The Journey Seminars and pioneer of The Visionary Leadership Programmes.

The answer is simple, though often misunderstood: your old programming was the main offender.

The start of a new season is a good time to take stock of our quality of life, of our accomplishments and our ongoing goals.

For example, just take a moment to cast your mind back over bygone years and check out what happened to the New Years’ resolutions you made. You know the ones: the diet and get fit plans; the financial and career goals; the step up, step out, de-stress and have more fun plans; the live life more fully goals that we’ve all had at some time or other.

Think of it like this: your personal computer has an operating system – a version of Windows, or OSX if you own a Mac – and from time to time the software manufacturer issues an upgrade, a better, more advanced operating system. So you buy the new CD-ROM and insert it in the drive. What happens next is interesting: the new system seeks out the old software and uninstalls the components that are no longer needed. It removes the old, clunky programming, strips out the inefficient and superseded components.

If you’re like most people, you seemed determined at first; you may have gone gung-ho with your new action plans through January and into February.

Only then does it begin to install the new – hopefully more efficient, smarter, speedier – new software.

Then you probably hit some speed bumps, wobbled a bit in your resolve, got distracted or gave up, so that by March or April you were pretty much back to square one, back to your old ways. And now here it is, time for spring, time for a sloughing off of winter and time for new growth,

It’s a lesson we could all learn from. When we want to change our old, conditioned patterns of behavior in life, we first need to uninstall the old programming – then

any new programming becomes much more effective.

But our normal practice is to simply ignore our old clunky software and repeatedly try to overwrite it with new programming. It’s an inefficient way to work.

So, what types of old programming are we talking about here? It varies, and the most important ones are our old beliefs, rules, vows or promises, and values. Let’s use old beliefs as an example. Since early childhood each of us is conditioned with the limiting or negative beliefs of others.

Even when they have the best of intentions, our parents, teachers, authority figures repeatedly instill in us what ‘we can’t’, ‘must not’ or ‘should not’ do, be or become and what we are not capable of. It is often programming that is simply handed on from generation to generation with little basis in truth – it’s just a “given” – and it can relate to restriction of culture, education or qualification, socio-economic background, gender, race, and so on. And our own experiences seem to add weight to these negative beliefs, when each time we try something new and fail we have an already installed “reason” for that lack of success.

Set yourself free from the burden of dieting and weight issues with Jane Caulfield, Journey Practitioner and Mindful Eating therapist and facilitator, who lost 40kgs through Mindful Eating.

Eventually the habitual beliefs become ingrained; modern research shows they ‘stick’ unconsciously with us at a deep level of awareness.

Then, as we get older and, hopefully, wiser we move on from our old negativities – we educate and train ourselves, we work hard, we gain in ability and experience – and we may no longer consciously believe our old beliefs.

We may have loads of new, more supportive and wholesome beliefs that more accurately reflect our reasonable expectations based on our proven abilities and our actual circumstances. If we have taken the advice of the modern personal growth movement, we have probably also practised positive affirmations and visualisations to confirm and reinforce our real potential with “I can”, “I will”, “I am able, competent, confident, talented”, and so forth.

Yet what have we actually achieved?

What we’ve done is simply to add more conditioning to the old. We’ve mixed it in, we’ve overwritten old programming with new. And the trouble with that is that the old junk is still clogging up our hard drives. The end result is a mess of conflict, overload, inefficiency and

eventually, possible crashing.

So this spring try something different.

Before making your new resolutions, simply stop, be still for a while in a quiet space and inquire deeply within: if there was old limiting programming in there, what might that be? Write out all the old beliefs, the childhood or later stuff that could hold you back – even if you don’t believe the old beliefs any more.

Be ruthlessly honest with yourself.

Then notice where this old stuff came from: whose is it really? Who passed it on to you? For each negativity, imagine packaging it up and handing it back to its originator, and then cutting any unhealthy energetic ties you might have with that person.

Wring out some of that old conditioning, free up some internal space, then ring in the new by opening freshly and writing down your plans and goals for the coming 12 months – they will be more effortlessly achievable this way. See you at the gym!

There is an innate wisdom within each of us that can relate to what the body is communicating.

We can interpret the underlying meaning and understand why the body creates a disease or illness and then know how we can assist the mind/body/spirit to optimal health on all levels.

There are many factors involved with having great health including: the weather, seasons, planets and more. Each of these elements affect our organs, muscles, endocrines and bones. Each body part has a precise emotion and meaning and is an indicator of what is happening subconsciously in the body. One such area that affects our health is the seasons. Being in the season of spring is the opportunity to manifest what you want in life and create optimum health.

Spring Thyroid- devotion to self – act on those plans you made in winter Bladder- you are in control and bring your yearnings to fruition Small Intestine - assimilate all the new ideas so they will

integrate over time Kidney -What can you relate to? How will you cope with this new ‘stuff ’?

Spring is the time for nurturing. According to the Book of Enoch Calendar, it is the time to ‘birth’ new ideas and commence a fresh way of living and doing things. The body parts affected in spring can be utilised to enhance your life and learn so much more about yourself.

According to MEDICAL INTUITION, the thyroid is about inner devotion and communication with self. The activity we do for ourselves will affect our metabolism.

An example of this is having a goal to lose weight in winter.

So you make plans to go to a weight loss program, exercise and drink water – which are things which will help to lose weight. It is the ‘doing’ or activity and making plans that are considered ‘devotion to self ’. This is also ‘communication’ as you are doing what you intended by listening to yourself and your body relates to this to give you optimum health. To aid this example, your bladder which is about your ‘yearnings’,

will help you.

If you stray from your goal, the bladder may indicate you are not in control of your life such as becoming incontinent or you may take regular visits to the toilet. Added to this the kidney (organ which is connected with our relationships) will help you ‘cope’ with this new way of being.

Creating Moments of Bliss In these fast-paced times, many of us are trapped in the ‘busyness’ of everyday life, working our bodies and minds to overdrive and stress, the 21st century disease. Yet there is something so simple we can do on a daily basis to relax and create moments of bliss.

We can enjoy a cup of tea!

Vietnamese Monk Thich Nhat Hahn once told Oprah, “Suppose you are drinking a cup of tea. When you hold your cup, you may like to breathe in, to bring your mind back to your body, and you become fully present.

And when you are truly there, something else is also there - life, represented by the cup of tea. In that moment you are real, and the cup of tea is real. You are not lost in the past, in the future, in your projects, in your worries. You are free from all of these afflictions. And in that state of being free, you enjoy your tea. That is the moment of happiness, and of peace.”

Research shows that tea derived from camellia sinensis has cancer fighting properties. Polyphenols in tea help protect the body’s cells from damaging free radicals, prevent blood clotting, lower cholesterol levels, neutralise enzymes involved with tumour growth and stimulate the immune system. Tea contains theanine (an amino acid unique to tea), vitamins, minerals, and methylxanthines - that fight against

mutagenic agents, delay aging, fight high blood pressure, fight viral and bacterial infection and improve the functioning of the digestive and excretory systems.

Interestingly, tea contains fluoride for strong teeth, virtually no calories, and half the amount of caffeine found in an equivalent sized cup of coffee.

Townsville Mumpreneur Melissa Sloane is passionate about the relaxation and health benefits of tea. “I had a dream 15 years ago about opening a tea shop but I ignored it and continued with my busy life. Since then I’ve experienced illness, marital breakdown and burnout. Through all of this, tea has helped me relax and de-stress. So when the same dream resurfaced in November last year, I knew I had to act.” Melissa opened rusTic Teas early this year with an online store

where she retails tea Australia-wide.

Customers can order personalised blends which they get to name. Melissa also stocks teas suitable for kids and teens.

A great way to discover the health benefits of tea is to host a rusTic tea party, private function, bridal tea, baby shower, business meeting or High Tea. In the coming months a rusTic Teas Boutique Tea Cellar will open in Townsville. Melissa says this will be a sanctuary for people to enjoy rusTic Teas in a relaxing space where they can escape from the pressures of the world.

Spring! The birds are chirping, the garden grows that little bit faster and the morning chill is drawn from the air. But, ‘OH NO!’ It’s almost bikini and board short weather. I know what you’re thinking…… “I need an exercise to do list, to tone up the body, and I need it fast”, “I hope my gym membership is still active”, “I wonder if Jenni next door wants to walk this spring?”

Yes! It’s time to get cracking. After 10 years of being a trainer in the health and fitness industry, I believe I’ve seen it all. The rapid detox diets, the shake away your fat diets, just to name a few. But, in my opinion this is how you do it. Yes! It takes a bit of a plan.

Yes! It takes a little time and effort.

This is how you crack that whip and kick that body into shape. The approach to a health and fitness goal should be realistic, well defined, but with the ability to be massaged around for flexibility. Flexibility means a plan B for those times the kids don’t wish to barter or you run out of time for the gym visit. I believe everyone’s ultimate goal when undertaking a training regime is to be functionally fit and achieve the “I look good result”. This means training regularly, eating replenishing foods and

using a variety of training approaches.

I believe variety is the key to spice up your training enthusiasm this spring.

Progressions in training are progressions of the same exercise, from a basic movement, to the more advanced. Mix it up this spring and as your commitment grows, so does your fitness level and skill level; you will soon be able to complete harder, more complex exercises. I also believe for numerous reasons many people shy away from the benefits of weight training.

Responses like, “weight training makes me feel bulky” are often heard. Weight training is a metabolic accelerator and if you want to get your body in shape and feeling strong, this is a must. NO EXCUSES! You can even use your own body weight to do push-ups, squats or lunges, just to name a few. This will have you looking great even in the comfort of your own home. Follow up your weight training with a short bout of high intensity interval training (HIIT).

This is done at intervals of 1 minute hard followed by 1 minute of recovery for a duration of 16-30 minutes.

We aren’t finished yet. I also believe

Get the head’s up and experience the eco-organic difference!

mobility work is essential and more so if you’re making a comeback from your winter hibernation. What’s mobility work?

This is the new hip way of saying flexibility or stretching. It’s a more detailed way of stretching, performing specific stretching poses (like yoga) combined with training aids, such as foam rollers, that get the body limbered up ready for exercise, whilst also aiding recovery.

But, all of the above is pointless if you don’t look at adequate nutrition to replenish and support the body. In short, take advantage of the salad and BBQ weather and you can’t go wrong. Apply the changes gradually and realistically and I wish you the greatest success.

Throughout August Ryan O’Neal did his own personal ‘30 days 30 changes challenge’.

He has done this to set an example and help his current personal training client base.

The next “30 Days 30 Changes” program starts 14th September in Caloundra.

Maria Waldock (Dip.App.Sc. - Pathology) Founder of My Life Blood I www.mylifeblood.com.au P: 0421 210 136 I E: info@mylifeblood.com.au

By Maria Waldock Writing this article, it’s a beautiful winter’s day. Warm, clear, with a fresh breeze. The sort of breeze reminding me to let go, with ease, things that are no longer needed and opening up to the new things that life brings.

How appropriate as we head into spring?

A favorite song comes on the radio – “These Little Wonders” by Rob Thomas – “Let it go, let it roll right off your shoulder, don’t you know, the hardest part is over, let it in, let your clarity define you in the end”... I feel those words can act as a reminder for anyone, in any situation, to let it go and move forward.

Every circumstance in life presents us with opportunities to move. Even within the midst of chaos lives the seeds of creativity. Do you ever find yourself waiting or yearning for an opportunity? It may be challenging to see them, but they are always there.

Three years ago, I received an opportunity for change - an opportunity to stop, rest and reflect on all areas of my life. Two integral areas were my health and my business which culminated in the birth of ‘My Life Blood’, a business which puts me in touch with the health of the human body every day. Change

involves movement and action; movement of thoughts from one perspective to others and movement of the body in a focused, dynamic way.

Change can not occur without action. I can have positive thoughts about many and varied things but those thoughts will bring no change unless I put them into action in my life.

My passion is sharing information on the incredible healing potential of the human body. ‘My Life Blood’ gives people an opportunity to understand and visually see the unending movement and inner potential we all have within. What can be achieved through accessing this potential is phenomenal.

I often see the light in someone’s eyes when they get that Ahh-Hah moment, when they gain clarity on what is happening in their body and why they feel the way they do. It gives people an opportunity to understand their own health status and know there is always potential for positive change present within every cell of their body.

The techniques I use to visually assess blood

are unique. Your blood is a clear mirror of your internal health which creates external symptoms.

Viewing the condition of your blood brings understanding and direction on your body’s needs. Embracing your health journey can bring unlimited positive change.

Allergies and intolerances can not only make life difficult socially but can also wreak havoc with your health.

Itchy eyes, runny noses and sneezing? Feeling tired and bloated after eating? Do you have headaches or just can’t shake that cold?

There is a staggering increase in the number of people becoming more allergic or intolerant to foods and the environment recently, with Australia having among the highest prevalence of allergic disorders in the developed world. In fact, allergic diseases have more than doubled in western countries in the last 25 years.

Nevertheless, having an allergy or intolerance doesn’t have to ruin your life. Understanding and treating the underlying causes and contributing factors concurrently with treating symptoms are important to longterm management.

A genetic predisposition to allergies plays a role in developing symptoms. However, not all family members develop issues and there are numerous triggers which can precipitate allergic reactions or intolerances in anybody.

Viral infections can impair the immune system so that allergies are more likely to

develop in the future.

Intestinal integrity and healthy gut flora are vital to immunity. ‘Gastro bugs’, alcohol, soft drinks, preservatives and pesticides in foods are just a few examples of how we compromise gut health. With a damaged gut wall, we have a reduced ability to produce certain immunoglobulins (or antibodies) which prevent allergic responses. Food molecules pass through the gut wall triggering allergies or intolerances so that sinus, eczema and asthmatic symptoms can actually be the result of food intolerance, not environmental allergies.

Nutritional deficiencies caused by stress, malabsorption or a poor diet can also reduce our ability to fight viruses and allergens, and detoxify from environmental pollutants.

Fortunately, with accurate diagnosis and treatment regime, many allergic symptoms and food intolerances can be reduced or eliminated with natural therapies such as herbal medicine, homeopathics, acupuncture, nutrition and Bicom bioresonance therapy.

CASE STUDY: A 55 year old lady presented with fatigue and sinus congestion which began when living in Asia 6 years ago. She was also suffering from digestive bloating,

slight eczema around her scalp line and ears and experiencing insomnia. Her asthma and hayfever were seasonal. A mosquito virus, sinus infection and gluten intolerance were causing her fatigue, digestive problems and insomnia. After three weeks treatment with herbs and acupuncture to support her immune and digestive systems, combined with Bicom bioresonance therapy to neutralise the effect of the viruses and gluten sensitivity, her fatigue, digestive symptoms and sleep had improved. A further three weeks resulted in reduced eczema and she experienced minimal hayfever and asthmatic symptoms when people around her were suffering.

Yolanda Falivene is a Naturopath consulting at Noosaville. With over 22 years experience, Yolanda has a special interest in treating allergies and intolerances.

By Gabrielle - Holistic Change Crystals hold the full colour of the light spectrum and are one of the oldest tools on earth used by the ancient ones of Atlantis & Leumaria for healing and Shamanic work.

What is crystal healing?

Crystal healing is the process of using crystals to bring our energy fields back into balance. This occurs through absorption and redistribution of frequencies into our energy centres. Crystals have the ability to enhance and generate the flow of energy throughout our physical and subtle bodies, giving back the remembrance of perfect health at a cellular level. This amplified energy helps shift and eliminate any blockages that may currently be restricting the natural flow of energy within and around us. If an organ in our body or a thought pattern in our mind is out of balance, crystals can clear away any such disharmony.

How does crystal healing work?

Crystal healing, like colour healing, is based on the law of resonance which works through what is known as ‘harmonic’ or ‘sympathetic’ reverberation. Put simply this means matching the vibration of the crystal with that of our body’s subtle energy systems.

Such resonance is most easily demonstrated using two guitars. When both are in tune and placed close together, the plucking of a string on one guitar will cause the same string on the other to vibrate. It resonates in harmony with

the energy of the source, which in this case is the other guitar. This same principle applies with the use of crystals and the human body.

Depending on the emotion, ailment or issue we choose to work on, we simply select the crystals that have the energy and the vibrations for that specific purpose.

This is why the choice of crystals to be used is so crucial, because each has the ability to change our entire being into a different rhythm. By selecting the right crystal/s, the stronger vibration then coerces the weaker one into a more appropriate health pattern. Any negative energy is then pushed to the outer limits of our aura for purification, thus restoring balance on all our levels.

Can anyone learn how to use crystals?

While there’s a lot of mystique surrounding crystals, the fact is anyone of any age can easily

- that is love in its truest form.”

Changing a life-long habit can be difficult at first but Dzogchen Rinpoche offers reassurance that it is possible.

Relationships can often end in heartbreak because people are too focused on their own happiness, says one of the most senior Tibetan Buddhist Lamas alive today.

His Eminence the 7th Dzogchen Rinpoche, whose education was personally supervised by the Dalai Lama, warns that the very thing we seek, ‘true love’, escapes us because we put our own happiness before others.

Dzogchen Rinpoche explains: “Buddhism teaches that all suffering comes by thinking only of ourselves.”

“Often we enter into a relationship because we hope someone else will make us happy, but this motivation will only lead to more suffering.”

“However, if we put our partners, friends and family first in our thoughts and actions, our relationships will bring genuine fulfilment

“We can start by having a relationship with ourselves. Dedicate some time to slow down and contemplate whether the way we operate our relationships actually works.

Often it doesn’t.”

“When we base our relationships on desire and attachment we are surprised when our feelings change and don’t bring the results we had hoped for. This doesn’t mean that something is wrong – it is the nature of emotions.”

Rinpoche adds: “By accepting the everchanging conditions of life, we realise that our feelings are impermanent and the perfection we are looking for doesn’t actually exist.”

“With this understanding we are more prepared and can accept our experiences as they arise without becoming shocked. This flexibility will help nurture our relationships and reduce suffering.”

Dzogchen Rinpoche starts his worldwide teaching tour this spring with a public

talk in London, UK on April 22. After that the tour travels across the rest of the UK, France, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Australia and then back to India.

Rinpoche arrives in Australia on September 7 with a public talk in Torquay, Victoria before moving on to towns and cities across Queensland, New South Wales, Northern Territory and South Australia.

The tour will consist of public talks, empowerments and teachings and residential retreats in every state.

Throughout the tour Rinpoche will explain that when we practice the four immeasurables of loving kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity we can experience the long-lasting peace of unconditional love.

Dzogchen Rinpoche, one of the highest Lamas in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, is the authentic Dzogchen lineage holder and head of Dzogchen Monastery in South India with more than 280 branch monasteries in Asia mainly in Tibet, India, Nepal and Bhutan and in the West.

Ascension – The Path to Evolution

By Kate Grainger & Sandra Meehan to open, anchor and activate your 36 chakras, petals and chambers. The twelve bodies, build your antakarana bridge. You will also learn about the 24 Dimension of reality and how to balance you karma and increase your DNA stranding.

The teachings are of the Mahatma and the teachings of the Melchizedek brotherhood.

We work with any or all ascended Masters and Archangels and teach you how to protect yourself against negativity and also how to ground yourself.

The spiritual path is a path of integration, balance and moderation; you are in truth letting your true identity unfold.

By focussing your attention on living with spiritual ideals in a consistent manner, you’ll find over time, you’re led step by step through initiation after initiation. The outcome is inevitable- everyone on this planet will eventually ascend.

We have developed an affordable and practical way to take you through the process of ascension. Information presented is about the paths to higher evolution; your purpose of this incarnation. The structure of how earth fits into the cosmos, universe and galaxy as well as the rays of aspect, attribute and structure are covered. We will teach you how

We humans are the externalisation of the Spiritual Hierarchy and the Spiritual Hierarchy are depending on humanity as much or more than humanity is depending on them.

in just a couple of sessions.

What happens in this life and the lessons you agreed to learn this time around has to do with your past lives. ‘Past life work’ helps people find out what their lessons are and what happened in a past life that generated the lessons.

Some souls get confused when they pass over, others are very angry, some can’t bear to leave the one they love, or many stay earth bound, and may even choose to enter another living person. We remove these attached entities from people as they tend to influence the people they are with to their own way of thinking. This also may involve clearing entities from homes and buildings.

We have previously done this course face to face, but unfortunately the time left to get this message out to as many people as possible is short, so we have developed the DVD/CD lessons and meditations that you can watch and listen to in your own time and comfort of your own home.

The ascension process is a journey that everyone on earth is here to achieve, but most don’t even know it exists so therefore they come back lifetime after lifetime, repeating the same mistakes over and over again.

By doing the ascension process and achieving the seventh initiation level, you can get off the wheel of rebirth.

As people progress to the 7th initiation and ascension, they may need help. We offer that help by balancing the chakras with crystals, colour, light and sound with amazing results

The Art of Enlightened Sexuality

By Kellie Yildirim Where did you learn about your sexuality?

Who sat you down and taught you how to fully experience all that your body was capable of; both sensually and sexually?

Did they teach you about the primal side of your sexuality and the spiritual side to your sexuality?

Was it your mother, your father? A friend perhaps? What was the quality of that message? Or did a wise and learned elder sit you down and impart sacred knowledge to you? Not likely!!!!!

For most of us, we just fumbled our way, learning from friends or adults who equally had not been taught from a place of wisdom. Attempting to learn about this FUNDAMENTALLY IMPORTANT area of our lives via a series of naïve experiences and corrected mistakes.

How has this impacted you? What underlying beliefs have you formed about yourself and your sexuality? Do those beliefs serve you or sabotage you?

Are you expressing and experiencing ALL of yourself sexually in your relationship?

What if you could accelerate your learning and really empower this area of your life even more?

We get taught how to be the best in our careers, in sport, in finances. But who teaches the art of sexuality? At best you can buy a book and read about it.

Have you ever wondered, what if I could learn all there is to know about sensuality, sexuality and the wonderful dance of sexual polarity that occurs between men and women, in an integral way and from a place of ancient and modern wisdom? What if there was that wise and learned elder? What would you ask them? What would you want to know?

And how could you empower your sexuality and really experience the full magnificence of sexual union even more? Imagine how precious that experience would be?

What if you could learn how to move sexual energy through your body up and down your spine and experience the divine through opening fully into your body and ‘un guarding’ your heart?

What if you could learn about how to use the massive reservoir of energy that rests in your body to its fullest potential?

What if you could experience the most divine spiritual experience of unguarded love with your partner as well as the depths of ravishment?

Do you currently experience all these possibilities with your partner? What is stopping you? How much of your sexuality do you have suppressed, locked away or unavailable to you? And why?

Sexual energy is one of the most powerful energies available to human beings. Fully experiencing this part of your life is your birth right! Unlocking your fullest sexual essence and expression will unlock unfathomable amounts of energy, creativity, health and life force from within you.

At She Prana we teach you how to fully utilise this beautiful, powerful, natural energy source safely and with the highest personal integrity.

Tapping into this natural energy source will enhance your personal experience of life, your creativity and your aliveness.

Would you love to receive a message through one of your photographs?

Please email a recent photo to ed@holisticblissmagazine before the 15th of September, 2011 to appear in the October edition This month Kate sent her photo in to Holistic Bliss Magazine to hear the story it tells.

and smell. I feel like I am rubbing a herb leaf between my fingers then smelling the fragrance it left behind.

Sitting with legs stretched out towards the fire place (it looks like a black stove with glass front and flue running up to the ceiling). You’re leaning back with a red mug in your hands. You feel relaxed, your mind has paused as you watch the flames dance.

Someone asks to join you and you jump back- laughing; you were a million miles away. And you can be. You have the ability to dream into the future & create how life will play out.

Your confident, positive persona has a beautiful lasting impression on the people you meet. Remain honest, remain grateful and keep dancing!

I wouldn’t call it Law of Attraction or asking & receiving. Try it out with small things to see ‘proof ’ you can create a phone call, a visit, a challenge. Walk your mind through it completely – including the conversation of you say, they say, the outcome and then watch it unfold in life. Practising time and time again, the results will build your belief in the magic you can create.

You asked about the Melbourne Expo, so I did, and had a vision of fairy lights on a white cord. Very small, like led globes. Very simplistic. I also saw a potted orchard in a back right corner – not prominent, so it may have to do with Feng Shui. Allow people’s senses to be heightened with touch

The crystals that supported your reading are Heamatite and Goldstone. Heamatite is great for the fear of flying and physically for travel sickness. It also helps you to stick to your decisions and not allow others to pressurise you into changing your mind. Goldstone allows you to be confident in your abilities, bringing you the opportunity to prove your talent and gain recognition.

As your love heals others, even from a distance, you also heal yourself… so keep loving! I feel you are a bubble of happiness!

Keep seeing the beauty of life and keep creating magic, Nat xo

Kate’s reply: She definitely got the part right about being a dreamer! I certainly am!

in Melbourne we might have a feature called “Grow Your Basket” so this could be the potted plants/orchard image Nat saw.

I feel like I am a happy person. I have had a few health problems in the past.

Thinking positively and making light of the situation - really helped me and my loved ones to cope. So I am glad Nat got this impression :) Another interesting point is I think I might have to go straight out and locate some Heamatite. I have an irrational fear of flying which is quite ironic as I love to travel.

Also, my boyfriend is a helicopter pilot and I will often steer clear when the offer to fly up our gorgeous coastline is up for grabsCrazy isn’t it?!

Thanks again, Nat for the reading. It has been quite an enlightening experience.

Welcome to your forecast for September. It’s an emotional month... but honestly, that’s no reason to hurl the wok at someone. At best, it’s an expansive month...but only if you pamper yourself.

September 11: Venus aligns with Mars.

Perfect for romance, bonding, friendships, and scoring a new job simply by fronting up in a red dress or stylish suit and smiling electrically.

September 12: Full moon in Pisces. How sensitive can you possibly feel and still get through the day? Weeping to release the past is in, but beating yourself up about the past is definitely out. Knowing the difference is an art we will all be practicing around this date. Go easy on yourself if you still have your spiritual trainer wheels on.

September 17: Pluto turns direct in Capricorn. Generally speaking, ambitions feel more achievable and emotions feel less intense. Great for Capricorns and those of you who have volunteered - for some good reason known only to yourself - to

live with a Capricorn in a massive state of confusion. (Common right now) September 23: Spring Equinox - Sun moves into Libra. Equinoxes are powerful days for prayers, meditation, affirmations and clarifying your goals. But Mercury and Venus join the sun in Libra during the second half of September, and they are all horribly aggravated by Uranus over in Aries AND Pluto in Capricorn. There are a lot of clashing forces here; meaning clarity could be hard to come by.

Here’s a cosmic clue about handling these powerful energies: events and/or people in your life that infuriate you right now are actually a mirror of your inner frustration.

You know things need a massive overhaul on the global scale...but you may not be so certain about what to do next in your personal life. For the rest of this month, act like a Libran. Pamper yourself as much as possible, and only play with people who treat you sweetly. Think serenity, uplifting music, and lots of treats.

September 24: Saturn aligns with the Destiny Point. Around this date be proactive, because this alignment responds

fabulously to gi-normous ideas about your own incredible potential. And you know what? It’s all true!

You are a genius and you are still allowed to think big even though it’s a push-mepull-you sort of month. This is what Uranus in Aries is trying to tell you (every day till 2018!). While you’re at it, choose to believe that the entire human race is a species of genius capable of reinventing itself in wonderful ways. Your beliefs count.

September 27: New Moon in Libra. We usually love to meditate on the day of the new moon because it’s such a pristine vibe, but you may feel less like doing that and more like hurling a wok of half-cooked Thai lemon chicken at your nearest and dearest. Cosmic clue: ignore anyone who doesn’t recognise that streak of genius in your aura. For goddess sake, I CAN SEE IT FROM HERE!

Listen to your inner Sage...

By Kylie Patchett

Years ago, if you had asked me, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” I would have answered “a brain surgeon!”... and yes, I am being serious!

Then I wanted to be the person who cured AIDS, then a radiologist, then (after a bout of glandular fever was successfully treated with great haste by a gentle & wise naturopath), a naturopath. Unfortunately at that time natural medicine was considered a bit ‘out there’ and at the ripe old age of 16, I was concerned about making a living from natural health, so off I went to study my great love ... BIOLOGY! Fast forward 20 years and my professional journey has included being a forensic biologist, crime scene trainer, sleep and respiratory scientist and educator and manager of a private medical company.

After years working in hospital based science, I became increasingly jaded by the propensity for mainstream western medicine to pull us apart into separate organs, to neglect the medicine of the soul, to almost ignore the effect of lifestyle, of positivity, of mindset for wellness, and perhaps most importantly, of true connection to ourselves and others. In my experience, this system often disengages the patient from their own body and inner wisdom, giving pharmaceutical drugs or conventional therapy, with limited information on natural alternatives. Worse still, often ‘patient care’ is linked to profit, certainly not empowerment!

Thank goodness, moving to the beautiful Sunny Coast, having two gorgeous daughters and becoming a carer for my elderly Dad led to a fork in the road. No longer could I squash the desire to get out of the ‘sickness industry’. Following our younger daughter being born with sensitive skin and eczema, and after a brief period down the cortisone and antibiotic track, we began to investigate natural products and nutrition solutions to protect her skin.

Through this journey, my wish list for my perfect job evolved into a role within
