Connecting to Your Soul

You know you are body mind and spirit. The spirit is your soul - the very essence of who you are.  It is from spirit that your body emerges and to spirit that you eventually return. If you have a desire to connect to other souls, you need to become sensitive to the presence to your own soul first.  Contact with spirit is made at the soul level. The mind is the bridge between your soul and your body.

Numerology Month Vibration for April

Romance is now at the top of your list of opportunities.  On the other hand, this month brings instability to outdated relationships, and some may end.  You become aware of the need to let go of certain people, although final good-byes may not occur until July or early August.

Your family and friends need more attention and you will likely find yourself playing the roles of mediator, comforter, and counsellor.  You'll be the one to offer the proverbial shoulder to cry on.  A younger person, particularly, needs your love and attention.

Your career is guided favourably by your sensitivity.  There is an increase in your workload and responsibilities due to a promotion, or one that may be in the offering.  The change may well bring financial rewards.  This is a good time for finances or real-estate.

Are You Psychic?

Our psychic power is our sixth sense.  We all have a sixth sense about things around us.  We all know about our other five senses of hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch.  Our sixth sense is our inner knowing. It is that hunch or a feeling about something.  Or it can be an inspiration that you paid little attention to, then realise you should of taken action.

Subliminal affects of Colours

Many of us choose colours instinctively without regard to how they interact with our feelings on a subconscious level.   Our wardrobe of clothes are often of a certain colour because they make us feel good.  For example red clothes are often warming or stimulating.  Blue clothes can say I am a private, loyal and thoughtful person.  Black clothes often make a statement to the world that I am going out there to discover myself.   When all the colours unite into white or rainbow, there may be a desire for some healing or a transformation of consciousness.

Numerology Vibration for March 2014

This month can be hectic with some unexpected changes.  Don't try to plan everything down to its final detail.  Instead, be flexible and adapt to whatever comes your way.  The expression "being in the flow", is instructive for most of this month and you will be astonished by coincidences in which timing is crucial. 

Don't make financially risky decisions, especially involving business.  Checking and double-check all your facts before going forward with your plans.  Be sceptical! However, your ability to promote yourself, your plans, or a product is enhanced.     There will be many social events and opportunities.  Take advantage of them. 

The chances of meeting new people who can support you in your endeavours are especially good.   A letter or phone call from someone you haven't heard from in a long time may surprise you.  It's high noon for romance, but be warned.  You may not be as discriminating and cautious as you should be.  Allow your rational mind to take a critical look at flattering admirer(s).

Key indicators to Balance your Chakras

Chakra Information

The flow of universal energy enters our body from the Crown Chakra and then flows down into the Base Chakra.  This energy then travels up through the other Chakras and outflows through the Third eye.  Why is it important to know about are Chakras?  Because when our Chakras become blocked, they help us pinpoint where we are having our greatest challenges.

Numerology Month Vibration for June

June offers time and opportunity for contemplation and insight.      Career and romance do not require as much attention as your own inner need to understand your motivations and desires.  Don't make the mistake of feeling guilty for not carrying your load, or for not working hard enough.

What Motivates us into Action to obtain our Goals


The motivating factor that drives us into action to reach our goals depends on our belief system.   If you believe it enough you will manifest what you visualise and attract what you want to you.  Others believe that the mind will manifest what you want and make it happen.  The major problem is that we all assimilate information differently.  Our learning preference tends to favour one of four personality types.

The first personality type is auditory.  This person wants the facts and needs to understand the situation before moving into action.  The second personality type is more sensitive in nature.  They need a feeling for what they want to obtain and will communicate more by sensation.  Being a patient person this feeler will not be rushed into making a decision until it feels right for them.

The third personality type will process information through an inner knowing.  They tend to skip the facts, the sensations and the big picture.  They just know what is happening and will act accordingly.   The fourth personality type is more clairvoyant.  They see details missed out by others.  This person is visual in nature and needs the big picture before taking action.  They tend to go through a checklist before commencing action towards their goals.

The reason why action is so complicated is because we have all four personality types.  How we communicate and take action towards our goals depend on what order we process information.   Before action takes place we need a feeling for every thought or a thought for every feeling.  Our state of consciousness is determined by what Laws of the Universe you believe in.  The Laws of Attraction or the Laws of the Mind.

The Laws of Attraction is about raising your level of energy with exercises like visualisation to change the way you feel and think about your current situation.  What we believe we will attract and create the situation like a self fulfilling prophecy.  The Laws of the mind believe the power to create what we want lies in the mind because existence is mental in nature.  The desire for action originates from the mind involving energy, intent and action.

The truth is if you dig deep enough in your research you will find as many people as you want who will back you in your belief system.   The reverse is also true.  Search hard enough and you will find the same amount of people who will swear that what you believe in does not work.  Does it matter what law of the universe you believe in so long as it works for you.  Try a method any method and if that does not work for you then look at another method in reaching your goal.  The key is action.  There is truth in all things and no one thing holds all the truth.  Remain open to absorb different bits of information and belief systems.

 Being a visual person I tend to feel think then act and favour the laws of attraction as being more effective.

The intellectual person would tend to think feel then act and more likely to favour the laws of the mind.

Building Inner Confidence with Mentoring

Building inner confidence is a life long journey.  When I was growing up in New Zealand I hid behind my mother’s dress when strangers came into the house.  I can still hear her words ‘children should be seen and not heard’.    At school I would hide behind another student so the teacher could not see me.  When authority figures asked me a question I would go bright red.  My mind would go completely blank and the words would not come out of my mouth.


On rare occasions however I did manage to pluck up the courage to share my opinion.  I still hear the laughter of the crowd on how ridiculous my suggestion was.  One day an inner voice said to me to go to Perth and find your meaning in life.  In Perth I came across group work and learnt about sharing in a non judgemental manner.


A funny thing happened with group work.  When I was willing to speak about my thoughts and feelings I found others were willing to do the same.  I discovered that what I had to share was of value to others and they also appreciated my feedback on them.  I felt an automatic lift in confidence each time we met and shared our thoughts and feelings on certain topics.  Slowly over time my belief in myself and my abilities grew in strength and a new habit pattern was formed.

As my inner trust and security in myself strengthened I got another revelation.  It did not matter what other people thought of me.  It mattered more what I thought about myself.  I realised through techniques that I had to own the problem if I got emotional in any situation. When I procrastinated I would ask my inner voice for help.  After participating in a number of courses I decided I would like to present them myself.

My next revelation came with public speaking.  People experienced in public speaking could see that I had a genuine desire to learn.  Because they saw my genuine desire to learn they had a genuine desire to help me. Desire for action is the very essence of building confidence.  Confidence building is synonymous with honesty.  You cannot fake honesty because other people who are experts in their topic fields will not be fooled.

I still have chat sessions over coffee with people I originally started group work 20 years ago.  Sometimes I would brainstorm ideas with a mentor. I discovered many ways of clarifying my thoughts without realising that it was exactly what I was doing.  I realised that if I wanted results my actions needed to be on the same path as my thoughts and feelings.

Nowadays I never leave home without my inner voice.  I talk to myself all the time. And yes I am still shy.  There are times I still push my husband to do things for me that I find a little awkward in doing.  The key with confidence building is the desire to take action. If you feel an obstacle is blocking you then look at different ways in which you could move pass the block.  Find a mentor, a self development course, or talk to your inner voice to help you grow your inner confidence. 

I came across a website about gaining confidence in relationships.  It seems to lean heavily towards men but I don’t see why it can’t be about gaining confidence for everyone in all sorts of situations.

Food Intolerances Heartburn and Acid Reflux

At some point in time we all may have had an experience of belching, heartburn or acid reflux.  This may be due to eating too much food, alcohol or simply from lying down too soon after a large meal.  Prolonged stress or long term use of anti-inflammatory drugs can also add to stomach problems.

How much has our eating habits changed from our natural eating environment.  Take a look at the good old roast dinner and you will see how complex and unnatural the mixture is. Do you think a meat eating animal would oil the vegetables before consuming them.  And what about roasting the potatoes or spicing up the meat.

Have you ever heard of a nutritionist say eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.  This is because raw fruit and vegetables have their own enzymes to digest themselves.  Cooking food tends to destroy what nature naturally supplies us.  Also acid and alkaline foods in the stomach at the same time retards digestion and can lead to fermentation.  The stomach cannot recognise different foods to know what type of media it requires to digest it.


Being one of 13 siblings and the 2nd youngest in the family I learnt at an early age to eat fast or miss out on all the good bits of food.  I still hear the voice of my mother telling me to slow down and chew my food properly.  Even now I still have a bad habit of gulping down my food as quickly as possible.  Inadequate chewing of food means the digestive enzymes in the mouth gets little chance to chemically break down substances.


Our digestive tract does not handle crunchy foods too well either.  Crunchy foods like chippies, biscuits, toast and fried foods were never part of our normal diet.  This is another reason why we chew our food properly and slowly.  The digestive enzymes in our stomach have to work a lot harder to process hard substances.  Of course when you are young you think you know better and everything will be alright.

My husband grew up on meaty meals followed by a creamy dessert.  Of course this is accompanied by wine or beer.  Now he has a fatty liver and an oversize stomach that sends out signals of objection because of heartburn or acid reflux.  He takes what I call the traditional approach.  For stomach relief he has added an extra tablet to his daily list of medication.

The foods I scoffed down in any order in my younger years have now come back to haunt me.  Now whenever I eat melons I make sure I eat them at least half an hour before or after other foods.  I try to eat foods rich in sauces or fried foods at lunch otherwise in the evening I have difficulty sleeping because of reflux.  Of course I can take what I call the intermediary approach and stay away from food intolerances.  The difficulty is to apply the discipline to discover by elimination what foods I have an intolerance to.

Now an advocate on alternate methods for stomach relief likes to see if there is a cause and effect relationship.  The alternative person believes in getting down to the underlying cause of why the stomach is misbehaving.  This may mean the stomach needs a good cleanse to get rid of sores.  It may also mean the body may be lacking in certain nutrients.


Stomach problems are not just from inadequate chewing, overeating or bad food combinations.  Prolonged stress and excessive alcohol consumption can damage the lining of the intestines as well.  So what is the answer?  I guess it depends on what school of thought you favour.  The traditional approach would simple be to take a tablet to hold the acid down in the stomach. The intermediary answer would be to just stay away from food intolerances and allergies.  The alternative person would probably persevere to search out a natural cure.
