Words Jock Brocas
In a world bustling with noise and distraction, the quest for inner peace often feels like an elusive dream. Peace is something I think about daily and there are many times in my life when I feel that peace has also eluded me and that discontent causes inner turmoil. However, within each of us lies the potential to unlock a deeper sense of freedom that transcends the chaos of material existence. Easier said than done though - and it's a journey in and of itself and not an easy one to embark on. Life on this side of life is less than peaceful and the world is in a dire state. All down to man's incessant failure to root himself in his spiritual nature.
What is this freedom we chase?
The mind as the powerhouse of reality
Three principles
Mind: Consciousness:
“...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”

It is very important to use only organically-raised flowers or wild flowers because we don't want to use flowers treated with chemical pesticides.
Use the tweezers, or sterilised stainless steel scissors for picking, so as not to contaminate the essence

If you're making more than one flower essence, wash your hands before proceeding to the next flower. Use unscented soap, as aromatic materials may interfere with the potency

In words we weave a world unseen, A tapestry of thoughts and dreams, Where silent whispers softly gleam, And verses flow like gentle streams.
Each line a brushstroke, deftly placed, A canvas where emotions trace, The fleeting moments we embrace, In rhythm's tender, timeless grace.
Through metaphors and similes, We capture life's complexities, In stanzas full of mysteries, Unlocking hidden reveries.
The poet's pen, a magic wand, Transforms the mundane, and beyond, With every rhyme, a sacred bond, A timeless truth, a lasting song.
In poetry, our souls take flight, To realms where day transcends the night, In every word, a spark of light, That guides us through the dark, to sight.

Real intimacy is to see and be seen, beyond the body, into the dimension of what we, as limited physical beings, perceive as soul.

Meditation benefits every aspect of our being: Body, mind and soul. We spend most of our lives looking for happiness, peace and fulfillment outside ourselves.
more love, more abundance and more fulfilment.
Mantras
'The Yoga Sutras'
Past actions (karmas) create memories (sankaras) , which generate desires (vasanas) which in turn lead to new actions – these memory seeds are present in our souls and are really our soul seeds. It is this 'soul software' that guides us to the choices that define our lives. Meditation brings into our realisation that we are able to make choices that bring us more peace,
Meditating with a mantra
Where possible try to be free of disturbances:
Meditate sitting up mudras
Always close your eyes,
Meditation twice per day is recommended for 20-30 minutes,
Repetition of the mantra does not have to be clear or in perfect pronunciation,
Pure awareness or Spirit is the deepest domain, the place of our interconnectedness with the infinite mind of the universe. It is the field of pure potential. By changing your thoughts, beliefs, expectations and intentions and connecting with silence, you will allow the unbounded, unlimited abundance of the universe to flow easily and effortlessly into your life.
Practise with this Mantra: So Hum - 'I am'

TESTIMONIALS
“For 6 months, I have had right knee trouble and some minor pain. It was getting better slowly. I put the x39 patch directly on the knee and I can verify that it is a lot better. I
am still putting it on. Thank you ever so much for X39!
“I've been using the X39 patches for the past couple of weeks using the recommended placements. I have 2 scars under and next to my belly button. Where I've been placing the X39 and below the belly button has noticeably lightened. I have great appreciation for X39”.
“I am experiencing great results with X39 and IceWave patches. I am sleeping more deeply than ever. I have extra energy and strength and very importantly motivation to get things done, get clutter sorted and house cleaned. I have a feeling of wellbeing and confidence.”
My personal experience. I had been experiencing many menopause symptoms, night sweats, many hot flushes (very uncomfortable), anxiety on occasion, waking up frequently at night and stiffness in my body. I have been using X39 and one of the other patches (SP6) and most of my symptoms have reduced dramatically and I only have a couple of hot flushes in the early morning (hardly noticeable).
Jenny Watkins is a Consciousness Facilitator and Empowerment Coach, working with various consciousness tools and techniques. My passion is to contribute to people who wish to experience happier lives and healthier bodies. I have studied many different natural methods and modalities for over 25 years and when I was introduced to the LifeWave technology and read and heard the many different testimonials of what was changing in the lives of people and the improvements in their health, I knew this was something that I would like to be involved with.

In the face of escalating environmental challenges and growing concerns regarding climate change, the green economy has emerged as a transformative concept designed to redefine our approach to economic development under the circumstances we face globally. Unlike traditional economic models, that often prioritise short-term economic success at the expense of environmental and social variables, the green economy envisions a harmonious integration of economic growth, ecological health and social wellbeing. This paradigm shift is not just a response to pressing environmental issues but a proactive strategy for ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come – both human and non.

putting the soul back into business
bringing heart and soul back into the busy-ness of life
Liz Cunningham: Heart leader, soul mover, free spirit
For the last 30 years I have followed where my heart has led me, embodying love over fear as the consciousness for thought and action, allowing the inward work to unfold for me first and then answering the spirit nudges I receive to share outwardly this understanding of:
Living, leading and shining the power of heart and soul intelligence into the busy-ness of life;
Blending the energies of human doingness and beingness into a vibrational consciousness of self as both spirit and matter, as participative creators of our internal and external reality;
Harnessing the power of our energy-for-life to support making the choices to continue learning from our pasthistory as we live into the expansiveness of our futuremystery.
Dance with Life classes, Womanity circles, retreats and 1:1 sessions rooted in emotional intelligence (EQ), heart energy mastery, healing somatic dance and divine feminine wisdom are the containers through which I share SoulBeing insight and activations with Womanity.

The single overriding objective in wellness is creating constant personal renewal where we recognise and act on the truth that each day is a miraculous gift, and our job is to untie the ribbons.

Wellness within precedes everything else as it is the first critical step toward a flourishing, integrated body, mind and soul.

The vast African bodies of water, whether the Okavango Delta, the mighty Zambezi River, a babbling brook or crashing ocean waves on our beautiful coastline, all promote wellness within.

It has been 100 years since the pioneers of Umngazi embarked on a journey to gently adapt a unique stretch of the Wild Coast in the Eastern Cape, to accommodate enthusiastic holidaymakers. Accommodation has evolved from simple rondavels to the more spacious, comfortable bungalows of today.
In 1924, Owen Leach and his wife Dorothy, purchased the Cwebeni trading store at Mngazi Mouth. Occasional visitors to the family included mining types from the Reef amongst whom was the Spencer Fleischer family. They were so
enchanted with the surroundings and location that they sponsored the building of a rondavel on the site of present-day bungalow No 9.
What started as a small holiday retreat primarily for fishing enthusiasts and family getaways has blossomed into a beloved destination for families, friends, honeymooners, and those celebrating special occasions. Umngazi Hotel & Spa remains a place where memories are made, and its charm endures in the hearts of all who visit.
