NEWSLET TER
Reiki 1 W orkshop - 21 September 2013
Hi Everyone!
Weve been hearing about The Shift for so long, its hard to believe its nally here! Have you noticed the changes? How time seems to be speeding up and nothing seems to work the way it used to? The Shift is aecting every aspect of life on this planet - our political, social and economic structures, institutions and wars, our work and relationships, and the environment .. would you believe a magnolia is blooming as I write? The Shift in Consciousness is a shift in our perception of our world. It is aecting our thoughts and feelings and assisting us in releasing old dysfunctional habits and beliefs. Above all, this Transformative Wave helps us to let go of everything we are NOT and remember who we truly ARE! Love & Blessings, Jan x

Congratulations to a wonderful new Reiki 1 group ... they are: ( l - r ) Ann Kernan Grimes, Adrienne Bolger, Eimear Mallen and Gemma Lynch. We wish them every blessing on their healing journey.

Its none of my business!

One of my Reiki students sent me this great email in which she describes a light bulb moment - when she realised how a simple change in behaviour could eliminate unnecessary stress and hurt in her life. (Shared with her kind permission). Hi Jan, My teenage daughter was having (what sounded like)a very interesting conversation with her friend while I was driving. Before I started my Reiki journey, I would have gone into a hu if she didn't automatically want to tell me all about the conversation; or I would have asked her out straight what the conversation was about? I have also been known to go the whole hog and even beat myself up as a failed mother whose daughter doesn't want to 'share' stu with her! Continued on page 2

Namast
I honour the place in you in which the entire universe dwells. I honour the place in you, which is of love, of truth, of light and of peace. When you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, WE ARE ONE!

The red circles are your red blood cells. The white circles are you white blood cells. The brown circles are donoughts. We need to talk. The meaning of life is to nd your Gift. The purpose of life is to give it away. - Pablo Picasso -

Fun and Laughter

Jans Garden ... As you sow .... so shall you reap!

My wonderful sister Ann believes that Laughter is the best medicine of all! Here is what she has to say ... Have you ever heard the saying Laughter is great medicine? Bring fun and laughter into your life, a little ray of sunshine. A precious gift to share with everyone you meet. It lights up a room and people are drawn to you. Dr. Deepak Chopra once said, Laughter creates endorphins, which make you feel happy. It rejuvenates the cells in your body and keeps you youthful. Now, we can all do with some of that! It can heal your mind and body and is good for the soul. It keeps you grounded and brings in your spirit. Laughter creates huge amounts of light which attracts the angels to you. This world would be a much happier place if we shared our precious gifts of love, fun and laughter with everyone we meet. Its infectious! Have a go! Y oull enjoy it. Put a smile on someones face today! Ann Quirke ( Reiki / Seichem Master)

Planting bulbs is like giving yourself little presents in Autumn, wrapping them in soil, and not being able to open them until Spring! So in September I gave myself 90 little presents ... 50 Pink Diamond tulips and 40 daodils named Cheerfulness. I planted them in the circular bed just outside my healing room and now I can look forward to a glorious pink and gold display in Spring. And I suppose the same process also applies to life! We reap what we sow! If we want more joy and beauty in our life we need to consciously create that reality. Knowing we always have a choice in what to plant in our inner garden ... do we let the weeds take over or do we consciously plant owers?

Its none of my business! ...

(continued from page 1) Very quickly, it became clear to me that the source of a lot of stress and hurt in my life was when I jumped to the wrong conclusion, and / or when I presumed others motives - which invariably I got wrong! Whereas, if I had just stopped the destructive thoughts before they even got a chance to germinate, by saying to myself, it's none of my business, then I would have avoided talking myself into self doubt and bad humour within seconds! Before now, I would try to 'just not react' to the (real or imagined) slights and hope they would magically not aect me and just disappear!ButIstruggled with this approach,as it meant I had to suppress my true emotions and bite my tongue for the sake of peace. But the old resentment continued to bubble away beneath the surface ready to erupt at any moment - as I hadnt really changed anything. But, by 'minding my own business', the negative feelings never materialised in the rst place - so I had nothing to 'suppress'or bite my tongue about!Just by thinking "its none of my business",I was able to free myself from any real or imagined slight! As the saying goes, Others opinions about me are none of my business! Love and Light, Katie

Determination

Available to buy from Jan - 15 Or online at www.aurablessings.com Whatever you desire for yourself, afrm it for others and it will benet both. We reap what we sow. If we send out thoughts of love and trust, they return to us, but if we send out thoughts of fear and doubt we reap the results of what we sow in our own life.

Before starting any task, first of all, sow the seed of a determined thought. Especially if you have selfdoubts or feel that the task is too difficult for you. Think: I can do it. I am capable. Anything is possible if I put my mind to it. Determination is the key to success. So, use that determination to propel you forward.

Projection
Everything you see outside of yourself is a projection of how you feel about yourself projected onto someone else or something else. The other person or object is holding up a mirror for you to see yourself and your inner feelings about yourself, more clearly.

Brow Chakra

Chakras Archetypes
BROW CHAKRA

Positive: The Intuitive

Colour: Indigo Intuition, mysticism, understanding. Personality traits: Intuitive, fearless, practical, idealistic, wise, and a truth seeker. Relates to self responsibility. Being responsible for one's own life. Following your soul's path and needs. Trusting your own intuition. Able to see things from a 'higher' viewpoint rather than for the egos satisfaction or one's material comfort. The indigo energy connects us to our unconscious self, and gives us the experience of being part of the whole universe. It strengthens intuition, imagination, psychic powers, and increases dream activity. Positive aspects: highly intuitive, faithful, clear sighted, integrity, orderly mind. Negative aspects: Inability to trust intuition, scattered mind, blinkered vision.

The Intuitive has a gift of inner sight and trusts its inner knowing to provide guidance and answers to lifes perplexities. S/he oers protection for herself and others through following the discernment her inner vision provides.

Negative: The Intellectual

You project your fears onto the world. You project your love onto the world. By projecting yourself onto something or someone it enables you to shift your responsibility to them. Take responsibility for yourself, then act on it. Heal, grow and evolve by taking responsibility for yourself. When you think something "bad" about something or someone look inside yourself to nd what you feel "bad" about yourself and choose to change it if you so desire. When you think "good" about something or someone look inside yourself to nd what you feel "good" about yourself and then congratulate yourself with praise in your growing self worthiness. By: Guide Speak

The Intuitive Mind

The Intellectual tries to master the forces of chaos by living from the dictates and constrictions of the left-brain only and it seldom engages with its feelings, particularly those surrounding fear and insecurity. The Intellectual is highly opinionated and has many ideas based on i n f o r m a t i o n f r o m s e co n d a r y sources, rather than trusting what comes from its direct experience. It does not trust its own intuition to provide a valuable source of information to guide it through lifes challenges of uncertainties. Its guidance comes from books rather than from inner knowing.

Brow Chakra Affirmations

I think positive thoughts about myself and everything around me. I am open to new ideas, people, and situations. I am responsible for the quality of love and happiness in my life. I accept that I am an unlimited being and that I can create anything I want. I focus on what I love and draw it to me. The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift. (Albert Einstein)
