Body Maintenance by Debra Mackay Christmas is nearly upon us and many of us are wondering where the year went. This is common amongst all age groups, not just those of us that fit into the 'older' category so it is not an age thing. Time as we know it, is speeding up, scientists recognise this fact, and so it becomes more important for us to be doing what we really love doing and not trying to squeeze too much into our day. Burn out is common at this time of year, generally because we have expended our energy trying to do too much and a lot of the time doing things we do not enjoy. Yes sometimes it is necessary to do things we don't enjoy such as taking out the garbage, doing the dishes etc but if we recognise the fact these are a necessary part of life we can let go of disliking them and be present in the moment and actually enjoy the timeout from other pressures in our lives, they become a joy to do. There are, of course, many other things we do in our lives that we do not like and are not necessary for us to do, and these are the things we need to rid from our routines as they drain our energy unnecessarily. Taking time out is very necessary, loving ourselves enough to do this is the issue here. Some people say they cannot relax, they need to be 'doing' something all the time, this in reality, is often a case of not caring enough about self to allow time out. We can be of no use to ourselves or others if we are overly stressed and this time of year gives us the perfect opportunity to be kind not only to others, but also to ourselves. Many of the modalities I work with can assist you to release the stresses of the year leaving you in a much better state of mind, body and soul to enjoy your christmas get togethers with family and friends and face the new year that is coming. Why not treat yourself to a lovely relaxing massage, soothing all those tired, sore muscles and calming your mind so that you are more able to enjoy the holiday. Perhaps a RESET balance would be more appropriate. This balance works on the jaw to realign it and at the same time relaxing 90% of the body's muscles. You would be surprised how many of the body's muscles connect to the jaw. Maybe my specialty, an emotional clearing balance, would be more appropriate. These balances are always different for each individual and leave you centered and much clearer and able to be more present in your life. Also available are the wonderful Shell and Coral Essences. These essences work on a vibrational level to shift the emotional issues that may be keeping you from moving on. There are some wonderful sequences for assisting in many different areas of your life such as making your life more abundant, self empowerment, happiness, goal manifestation and much more. Sound is a very important part of our lives and is also a very powerful healer. I work with the chakra chimes and a much higher vibrational chime called the 13 Tones of Creation which take us to a very deep place within ourselves activating every atom of our body to create a deeply relaxed and rejuvenated state of being and assisting energy blockages to be released, thereby realigning our physical and light bodies. All of the work I do is tailored to suit the individual and are very powerful in assisting you to move forward. Gift Vouchers are available for any of the work I do so why not give yourself or a loved one the ultimate gift of caring. I wish you all a very happy Christmas and welcoming in of the New Year and look forward to sharing my knowledge with you all next year, both through this column and workshops where I will be teaching you how to work with your charkas and energy systems so that you can heal yourself. Blessings to all.

Nine lessons and carols King’s College, Cambridge, UK first commenced a service of nine lessons and carols in 1918, when it was decided a more imaginative style of worship was needed. Since then it has become a popular worldwide celebration of Christmas. In the best tradition of King’s College, St Andrew’s Anglican Choir and St Carthage’s Cathedral Choir, from Lismore, join forces each year to present a service of nine lessons and carols, annually alternating services between the Catholic Cathedral and St Andrew’s in Lismore, as well as taking it to areas such as Ballina and Mullumbimby. The service always commences with the carol, ‘Once in Royal David’s City’ and then covers a range of traditional carols as well as some more contemporary works. It involves some congregational involvement in the singing. Since 1982, each year King’s College have commissioned a special new work for inclusion in the service and this has resulted in some delectable new Christmas music. Locally, the music is selected and the choirs prepared by music director and organist, Warren Whitney. In 2008 Nine Lessons and Carols will be presented by the combined choirs:Friday 19 December, 7.30pm St Mary’s Anglican Church, Norton St, Ballina Sunday 21 December, 7.30pm St Andrew’s Anglican Church, Zadoc St, Lismore Tuesday 23 December, 7.30pm St Martin’s Anglican Church, Mullumbimby. Other Christmas services will be performed by StAndrew’s Choir:Wednesday 24 December 8.00pm carol service, Bexhill Church of the Good Shepherd Thursday 25 December 7.30am Christmas service, St Andrew’s Anglican Church Lismore We’d love you to join us at any of these services.
