Divine Time
Riding the Wave
by ShirleySienna
In the beginning, a frequency beamed through the cosmos and portals of consciousness to Earth. It came from Source Energy and when it reached our shores of 3rd dimensional density, as we moved through the ages, we began to speak of it as ‘Time’.
The word time is an anagram of emit. The Divine Frequency is emitted to earth and for eons we have successfully distorted, misunderstood and misused it.
Perfect really, as we came here to experience physical life for a very short, hard and heavy space of ‘time’ on this planet. Our world contains exactly the right combination of gases to develop into human form. The Mayans say we are cousins to the trees and trees hold within them the timelessness, enchantment and receptivity of the Wizard, hence the Wisdom of the ages is seen within the Tree of Life.
Calendars of time exist the world over and as we evolve, they revolve and align. Time-ship Earth awakens and everything rumbles, quakes and shifts including us, and, on the 28th to 29th of May 2018, an entry point into a new paradigm opened. We may able to breathe the air, but it’s taking a while to put ourselves back together and many have still to enter the doorway before it closes, let alone begin to realise and reassemble the self.
2019 is the 3rd year of a new cycle. Time is not changing but we are. The Garden of Need is on the way to returning to Eden and it is a ‘time’ of karmic replay.
From the 18th March 2019, energy and mindfulness are key; contemplate, set intention and allow. We are like a ball of string, unravelling in order to be woven into the pattern of the universal web of life. Travelling with the magnetic tone of purpose, sowing seeds of new vision in order to unify and attract and navigate our way under the influence of powerful synchronicity and self- awareness. Allow everything and everyone you encounter during these coming weeks to be seen in neither positive or negative mode. Instead allow a polarity from conception to fruition to be realised in all areas of your life, intuitively balancing the ‘see saw’ effect.

Reflections
What's in a Word
by Jane Offer
Over the last decades, thousands of books have been written about how words can improve our life. We know that positive words change our brainwave patterns and therefore how we feel – positive thinking and all that – but what about the use of language to subtly influence our way of thinking without us even realising it? We may think that ‘words don’t matter’, but they do. Words can be used to be open and informative but equally, as a covert tool to influence opinion. Using emotive language can alter another’s interpretation, and therefore their perception to ensure that information comes across more positively or negatively dependant on the desire of the influencing person. These figures of speech can frame our opinion without us even realising it is happening. Let’s face it; we only have to listen to the various news channels, and their versions of the same incident, to see that in action. Alternative or Complementary? ‘The natural healing force in each of us is the greatest force in getting well’ Hippocrates (the father of modern medicine) I have worked for many years in the natural health field and have been privileged to witness a growing movement towards people wanting more control over their health choices, but language was, and is, noticeably and consistently used to influence people’s attitude towards holistic modalities. To aid free health choices, I have always felt it important to understand and promote the difference between Alternative and Complementary treatments, which are often lumped together but are, in fact, distinctly different. In the past, the media and references from mainstream medicine, almost always referred to Alternative Medicine in a vaguely dismissive tone, cleverly and subtly implying the insanity of ditching the conventional medical approach in favour of dangerous weirdness. Of course, this is not what natural health is about. Not even an holistic practitioner’s first thought would be to act as a doctor/healer if a person had a broken bone; they would advise seeking immediate medical attention to reset the bone and probably the pain relief to go with it. Then, they would use natural methods to work with client’s body to compliment the healing! It’s a combined approach which seems logical to me. Surely then, the more suitable terminology for this combination is Complementary, the term used by practitioners and governing bodies alike, referring to healing practices and products that work in conjunction with traditional medicine.

Discovering Ayurveda
Digesting the Knowledge of Life
By Liesl Horne
Welcome to my column.
It is my pleasure to share the wonderful health benefits of Ayurveda - simple, sustainable ways to care for your health in a natural way, that feels so good!
I was first introduced to Ayurveda almost a decade ago, after discovering a book at my local library about digestive health. I can honestly say it was life changing.
Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word that translates as ‘science or knowledge of life.’ Although new to me, I soon learned that the ‘science of life’ is more than 5,000 years old, originating in ancient India and is a traditional system of natural medicine based on the universal principles of the five elements found in nature.
Intrigued, I soaked up as much information as I could, learning about the importance of digestion. How we should be mindful, not just of our food, but how we digest everything - from our environment to our relationships. It also stressed the importance of making the time to rejuvenate through exercise, meditation, massage, rest and sleep, to be in synch with nature’s rhythms and seasons.
I wondered why this practical knowledge of self-care hadn’t been available to me earlier.
As more and more people search for ways to look after their health, Ayurveda provides the time-tested wisdom of living in harmony with nature. With its highly personalised approach, Ayurveda teaches us to listen to our own bodies and to adjust our daily routines and diet accordingly so as to support and promote vitality and longevity.
Each person is seen as a unique microcosm of nature, composed of the qualities and functions of the five universal elements:
Earth
providing the qualities of being heavy, rough, hard, stable, firm and dense. Earth relates to all of the organs in our body, which provide structure and strength.
Water
heavy, fluid, soft, cold, viscous, moving. All of the fluids in our body.
Fire
heat, sharpness, expansive, transforming. This element relates to our digestion and metabolism.
Air
light, rough, clear, active, dry. All movement throughout our body and mind.
Space
light, smooth, soft, inactive. Relates to all spaces in our body.
