Hello Everyone,

It’s hard to realise that this time last year we were just back from the United States!!!  Time has certainly flown.

Well, for those of you that follow my Facebook page, you will already know that I was laid low this month – I had and well, still have a pinched nerve in my shoulder that pretty well paralysed my right arm, which isn’t the best thing considering I am mainly right handed!!  I am one of those people that does have a tendency to not listen to the signs given to me when my angels and guides are telling me to slow down – I have a personal sense of responsibility to try and reply to every single email and personal message on Facebook as well as all my administration work and of course, emailed readings and face-to-face readings …… speaking of which, thank you to everyone for our understanding in me having to either reschedule you or being a tad delayed in getting your reading to you, it is very much appreciated.

Cate and I finally got to enjoy our high tea – a thank you from me to her for liking my page, Cate was selected when my likes on Facebook hit 3000, this is something that I do when my likes hit a big 1000 number and the 4000 winner isn’t too far off being picked!  I also give away a free one question reading every time I hit a 100 mark – as in 3,800, 3,900 etc.

It was lovely to meet Cate, we had a very enjoyable afternoon eating lots of yummy food and having lots of laughs – I love it when you meet someone and just ‘connect’ with them. Thank you Cate!

I was also the guest speaker at the Central Coast Spiritual Church – what a lovely group of people! I felt very welcomed and lots of laughs were had.  Thank you so much for inviting me.

On Sunday 25th November I will be speaking at the Foster Spiritualist church which, from memory is held in the Community Centre near the Police station!  Church starts at 10am.   Hopefully, I will see you there!!

A message from: – Archangel Ariel

Do not take the weight of the world on your shoulders, focus on your immediate environment and start from there.  When I say environment, I don’t necessarily mean Mother Earth, but look around you and see what you can do to make a small different – because if everyone made a small difference, a huge difference would be felt.  Are there homeless that you can help?  Volunteer with the elderly?  Spread your knowledge by teaching at an adult education school, perhaps you do want to work with the environment, join a group that looks after the coastline.  Or it could be as simple as picking up rubbish when you go for a walk around your neighbourhood.

Don’t ever think that your small effort goes unnoticed, because it doesn’t and don’t ever think that your small actions don’t make a difference, because they do.

Keep up the good work.

Beltane – This is the fire festival and is celebrated in the Southern Hemisphere this year on 31st October.  This festival is about fertility and the balance of male and female energies.  This is the time to conceive new ideas – it’s not just about fertility of the body!  Surround yourself with green, if you have an altar use a green cloth and three of each green and white candles to represent the god and goddess and the children they will bear.  Surround yourself with flowers – write down your wishes and thoughts for the coming year and then burn them safely.  It’s all about welcoming in the Spring with the fertility that it represents, the renewing – hey you can even through rose petals on the bed and have a romantic night with your partner as a celebration!

Moon report for September 2012 – by Michelle Oberdorf

New Moon:

The New Moon this month occurs on Wednesday November 14 with the Sun and Moon uniting (conjunct) at 22 degrees of Scorpio. This New Moon is also intensified as it is a total Solar Eclipse, with anything repressed potentially coming to the surface to be dealt with. Self-mastery through change, finding new solutions and moving forward – empowered and transformed is suggested by this New Moon. It is a good time to look beneath the surface to examine deeply and seriously what you’ve been hanging on to which hasn’t been working in your life, especially in the area of intimate emotional or financial relationships, and let go. Try to avoid power struggles. An affirmation may be “I now release emotional baggage from my life.”

Full Moon:

The Full Moon this month occurs on Thursday November 29 with the Moon at 7 degrees Gemini and the Sun in the opposite sign of Sagittarius at 7 degrees. This Full Moon is also energised as it is a partial Lunar Eclipse. Lots of mental stimulation, ideas and quick thinking feature with these signs involved. The Full Moon is a culmination of events and a time for release, possibly of something started around the time of the previous Eclipse on May 21 when the Sun was in Gemini. This could relate to any form of communication, agreement or contract, where we may need to release past actions either by making amends, speaking up and/or speaking our truth. It is also a good time for socialising, networking and going to parties.

Shaman Stones-Balancing the Male/ Female Elements

A couple of years ago, a fellow Shamanic Healer gifted me Shaman Stones, and they are amazing to work with. Shaman Stones come in pairs… one female and one male stone. These high energy stones also aid you to balance your male-female energies.

They have strong metaphysical properties for spiritual growth, and will help you to overcome fear. This is especially important when doing out of body journeys. They are psychic protection stones, and will prevent negative entities from attaching themselves to you.  As they are very helpful stones to aid you when you are doing shamanic journeys… their name comes from this aspect of their energy.

These stones are also known by a few other names… including Moqui Marbles and Mochi Balls. They will aid anyone who has started their spiritual growth and feels inclined towards doing spiritual journeying.

They have a strong protective energy that will keep you safe at these times… as their vibration prevents any negative entities from attaching themselves to you. Shaman Stones also elevate your level of intuition… so that you can perceive which entities are negative and allow the approach of positive spirits and guides.

Where Do They  Come From?

These specific stones are also called Moqui Marbles or Moqui balls… and are found at the north rim of the Grand Canyon in Utah in the USA. They were named after the Indian tribe that lived in the Moqui Desert. The children of the Indian tribe who lived there were known to play with these stones, particularly the smaller stones… and used them like children today use marbles, hence the name Moqui Marbles.

Similar stones have been found in other parts of the world… and their energy may be similar. Shaman stones are concretions… made up of a variety of different minerals that have formed into a ball shape naturally… without human intervention. They are brown in colour with a natural rounded shape… and their size ranges from small ones of 1/2 inch through to bigger ones up to 2 inches across.

Who Should Use Them?

By using Shaman Stones before beginning your inner work… you may ‘turn on’ a specific part of your inner being… or spirit, that desires to make major change happen.

This part of your being is aware of what your sub-conscious mind has within it, that needs to be brought forward, into your conscious mind.

These deep desires are part of your spiritual journey. These stones aid you, when you want to develop your intuition in a new way… that will guide you to take the right steps needed to achieve the aspects that may lead to personal transformation.

How Will They Help You?

These stones have a strong psychic protection element… and this is a benefit regardless of whether you wish to use them for inner journeying or within your daily meditations.

Shaman Stones have a lovely energy and are great stones to hold. They have a strong vibration that enables you to balance your female-male energies.

Enjoy the experience of these wonderful creations, until next time

Just as a reminder:-

PSYCHIC PARTIES – I also do party groups where everyone has as 15 minute reading – this is lots of fun for baby showers, birthdays, hens nights etc and it’s just $20 per reading.  These readings aren’t burnt to disc because there are usually too many people and it just takes up too much time, but I am able to take notes or the person having the reading can take them if they wish.

FUNDRAISING – I’ve also done a few fundraisers, again which I am happy to do to help a good cause – I usually give a percentage of my takings for the day to help raise funds.

GROUP OF FRIENDS – If you don’t want to go the whole hog with a psychic party but there are four or so friends that would like half hour readings, I will visit you in your home – as long as it’s within a certain radius of Newcastle!  As long as I have a private spot to sit and water to drink, I’m happy!!!

Courses/Workshops

I have no more workshops planned for 2012 I am looking at starting up again in 2013, probably around March – as the year is drawing to a close and everyone will be gearing up for Christmas.

Some interesting facts about November

November’s birthstone is the Citrine or Yellow Topaz.  Citrine (Stone of Wealth): Believed to promote happiness and be useful against depression. It symbolizes hope, youth, health, wealth and fidelity.

November’s flower is the Chrysanthemum.  The chrysanthemum means compassion, friendship and secret love.  The Chrysanthemum is one of the most honored flowers in Asia. This is a friendship symbol that comes from the Japanese Culture. In Japan chrysanthemums are called “kikus” and are exchanged between friends as a symbol of the virtue and incomparable value of their friendship.
