The Mayan Prophecy

Note: writings about our spirit, soul, essence, true self, higher self, core and heart refer to that within us beyond our physical mind and body that we each know. The fact that we are open, reading, hearing and always learning is indication that we are already awake and aware to that innate true self within us. Our awareness is an endless journey of learning. Often these writings are on matters we already know, 'hear all the time', or maybe something new or from a new perspective. Regardless, be open and let them serve as reminders of our own innate knowing and wisdom. Quotes, texts and links sometimes used as references do not indicate any affiliation with any particular group, person, concept, religion or belief system. It simply refers to the universal essence that is pure and undifferentiated beneath us all.

Hi all

Forgive me for my lapse in blogging for a good month or so, though I said I would try and post a blog every fortnight to keep in touch. Life has been hectic. Studying, working, juggling home and parental duties and more extensive stages of editing with the publisher's team for my upcoming book. Book's still coming, thank you for your patience. Many have asked and had hoped it would be ready as Xmas presents but unfortunately the book will take its own time and be ready when its meant to be. This sees me continuing in the refining and polishing of the manuscript through burning the midnight lamp, it's becoming very shiny now. When ready for release, the book will speak clearly to everyone's heart with a powerful message appropriate and in line with us embarking into 2013 and beyond. Stay posted.

Lately, I've been asked by some for my opinion on this matter of 21/12/2012  and could not help but detect presence of mass and subtle nervousness, uncertainties and fear, with all the media and social hype about the 'end of times'. Social and mass media love drama, suspense and to a great extent, fear. Bad and frightening news sell and spread like wildfire. Whether conscious or unconscious, humans through the advent of our fast paced and advanced technology these days, seem to enjoy feeding fear with more fear. As human beings, if we are unconscious and unaware to our true self, generally we live with an underlying fear of life and the perceived threat towards the end of life. All major dysfunctions of a global and individual nature have their roots in fear. When we do not know who we truly are, life begins when we are physically born and dies when we take our last human breath, and all of living goes towards sustaining and protecting this limited perception of self in physical form. Everything and everyone else that do not fall within our prescribed expectations, desires and needs are perceived as separate, different and a threat to our well being and survival. The fear of extinction is the greatest fear of all for any physical life form. Survival is an instinct. Hence, this root of fear manifests into anger, hate, hoarding, suffering, violence,abuse, war and all sorts of demented, dysfunctional behaviours.

When we are awake, aware and conscious, we know who we truly are, as life is our very own experiential reality.We know we are more than just this physical flesh , bones and brain. Who we are is Life itself. Life does not have a beginning or an end. Its an infinite cycle. What/who we truly are is beyond concept of space, time or distance. Life is not linear, simply continues in some form or non-form. Try pulling out weeds, they continue to sprout. Kill germs with antibiotics, they mutate. Each human lifetime is but just a journey. Births and deaths are simply doorways into multitudes of journeys. When we know who we truly are, there is no Fear.

However, when we know who we truly are, we are manifestations of Life itself. We are unconditional love, compassion, peace and wholeness. We manifest into myriad forms to experience, enjoy, create, share and connect from our underlying wholeness. Many are already aware and awaken to this reality and that is what is meant by the end of the old era, of ignorance, fear and suffering. And the beginning of a new era. What has been prophesied by the ancient Mayans is the beginning of a new age, an Age of Awakening, Golden Age, Age of Transformation & Purification. In fact, we are now at very privileged times, for human consciousness has collectively evolved to such a level that our ultimate truth and reality is now a possible realisation for each and every single individual. The truth of our divinity is now not just the exclusive domain of mystics, sages and masters who meditate for decades on mountain tops or study under seclusion in monasteries. The reality of our true self, our spirit, our divinity is a personal realisation accessible by all. And to awaken to this in every single individual is the key to collectively ripple into our family, friends, community, world and universe. This awakening and growth will collectively raise the energetic vibration of humanity towards a new era. The end of the age of fear and the beginning into the age of love and connection with and as life. However, each and every single one of us plays a role in making the choice. Do we choose to remain fearful and ignorant? Which may see us end up destroying life in this form as we know it, and perhaps the beginning of another unknown?
                                                                       OR
Do we have the courage to choose openness, to hear the truth, then the courage to let go of all that we are not, learn, change, heal and allow transformation into our lives? Our individual transformation is what will enable our global and universal transformation.

So 21/12/2012 heralds the celebration towards a new era of conscious awakened living, if such is our choice.

Have a merry, peaceful and loving Xmas season.
Spare a thought/prayer or lend a hand to the less privileged in our world, and refrain from excessive overindulgences - not so good for our bodies and soul :-)
Take care.
Love & Light,
Patsie xo

Hi all,

I have often been asked by many friends when we catch up, "so what exciting adventures have you got lined up for your life lately?" In replying to that question, I wonder, "so what constitutes excitement?"  It is true, the last 4-5 years has been quite a physical adventure. Many travels far and wide, connections with new beautiful people far and near, exploring into adventure sports & activities, music, dancing, to name a few. All in line with my journey of healing and growing for my soul within. Sometimes we need to follow that journey of the heart to heal, learn and grow; as such Life takes us to various people, places and events.Then at other times, we may get to a point of quietness, stillness, consolidation and what may appear as 'nothing much out of the ordinary', which is okay too. Almost like soil preparing itself for the next round of growth. There is a Zen saying, "When nothing is special, then everything is". 

Everything is special because when everything changes on the inside, our external world changes and every single moment becomes an adventure and beauty of its own. Everything grand and minute is seen, perceived, experienced and appreciated to its full purity through all our senses. So now adventure doesn't have to be trekking mountains, abseiling, rock climbing, running long distances, tribal drumming, tribal dancing, falling in love, sky diving, walking through deserts, swimming large oceans, seeking holy lands, ashrams and gurus, etc. Although those adventures and more are still fun and invigorating, there is just as much fun, joy and vigour in simply being right here fully in the moment. When our spirit is full and restored it is simply watching the bees pollinating flowers, the birds feeding, the beauty of the different sunrises every day, tending the vegetable patch, weeding the garden, walking the dog, cooking a wholesome meal, savouring the taste of a wholesome home cooked meal, soaking in the spring sunshine, basking in a healthy living body, giving and receiving love, hugs, smiles and laughter. Even storms, turbulence, challenges and undesirable people and events which may entail pain, sorrows, discomfort, anxiety or grief are honoured and embraced as they are 'the other side of the coin'. This too is part of our privilege as a living human being that is able to experience, feel, cry, learn, grow and heal. Only when we awake and are restored to that true spirit within us that perfection and enlightenment is truly just in this very present moment, just as it is. Light follows darkness, day follows night, cold and hot, seasons change, Life flows. So too we flow with it when we live true to our higher self, our spirit and soul.

When we flow with Life, and flow as Life, we can't help but simply be filled with Gratitude. Gratitude is natural when we live from our hearts and not from our limited thinking brain. Some of us live stuck in our own cycles of pain, suffering, lack, dissatisfaction, misery and fear when we choose to live from the limited preconditioned brain full of issues, disempowering thought patterns and outlook. We are stuck in vicious cycles of being victimised by what we perceive is what Life and others 'inflict' upon us. We place the source and reason for our happiness on other people, events, beliefs, ideas and places. Then when other people, events, circumstances and places do not live up to our expectations, turn out otherwise or changes over time, we fall to pieces, complain, whinge, get angry and even start to wage a major battle to try and hurt the other perceived enemy. When we know our true self, and are awake and restored to our spirit, we are already full and whole within, we do not need any other to fulfill any lack and do not depend on anything external for happiness, joy and fulfillment. A loving partner, good friends and family are simply a blessing and a sharing. Goals, dreams and ambitions simply give us directions and roles. Positive and beautiful events are enjoyed and appreciated as much as lows, downs, pains and tribulations are honoured with peace, for we trust  a higher purpose. It is often through our greatest trials & tribulations that our spirit embarks on its greatest growth. At all times we can't help but be grateful, for we are only a small part of a bigger whole. Yet the wholeness manifests through us. 

How often do we forget, caught up in our raw, physical, day to day rat race in this physical materialistic existence, to stay true and in touch with our spirit? That we miss out so much in the perfection and beauty of every single moment, every single living being from the smallest worm to the giant whale, the visual beauty and colours of nature, the smell and taste of the air, the warmth of love and touch, and the energy of good health, good food and good fun. Let us slow down, smell the roses, experience fully through all our senses, just being and not always doing, for in the quietness and stillness of the present moment is us in true spirit, with full gratitude.

Love & Light
Patsie

Love our internal body

Note: Writings about our spirit, soul, essence, true self, higher self, core and heart refers to that within us beyond our physical mind & body that we each know.

Our awareness is an endless journey of learning.On this blog, writings may be on topics that we already know, 'hear all the time', or maybe something new or from a new perspective. Regardless,be open and let them serve as reminders of our own innate knowing and wisdom, and if we know better and more, please be open to share.
Quotes, texts and links sometimes recommended and used as references do not indicate any affiliations with particular lineage, concept, religion or belief system. What is written conveys from and refers to the essence that is pure and universal beneath us all. 

Hi all

Excuse the couple of weeks break from blogging, have been caught up with a few exciting events in life. The edited manuscript of my upcoming book 'Awaken' needed to be compiled before being able to be handed over to the publishing stages, so that took every bit of spare time in between working, housekeeping, food shopping, cooking, loving & supporting the children, walking the dog, self care and rest.
Then about a week ago, was privileged to take myself through the amazing experience of a  self liver cleanse technique that was recommended by a good friend, thank you Rosemary :-) Long time aryuvedic medicine practitioner and healer Andreas Moritz who has written quite a few books 'Cancer is not a Disease', the 'The Liver & Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse' and the comprehensive 'Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation' has solid scientific knowledge but conveys knowledge of the human body & health through an enlightened mind and perspective. Being in line & on the same wavelength with his understanding and wisdom through my own intuitive feel, I undertook his home liver cleanse technique which saw the removal of gallstones and liver stones (intrahepatic stones) from my wonderful insides which helped towards the self healing of my liver (which has been subjected to much use and abuse in the past) and my digestive system (which had borne much emotional stresses in the past). Only a week on, and along with many little changes to dietary lifestyles, my digestive system is already 100% improved and energy levels restored 100%. My hayfever has improved 50% and peripheral neuralgia in left arm 50%. The second cleanse might progress the healing even further. What's more, find I don't need that 1 cup of coffee/day anymore, coffee can now be enjoyed and savoured as the occasional treat :-) Seem to eat less and have more energy, makes sense, a balanced digestive system entails efficient uptake of nutrients and processing into energy.    
Our body is an ingenious intelligent machine. Apart from the brain, the liver is the next most important organ in our body. Apart from digestion, it filters and detoxifies, hence affects every other organ and system through the blood and lymph i.e. our immune system, our brain, heart, lungs, stomach, bowels, reproductive organs, skin. The liver works hard when we work hard, mentally, emotionall, physically. It is at the forefront of cleansing everything that we ingest into us, and every bit we suppress and generate within our bodies. Fear and anger results in toxic biochemical reactions and compositions and energy blockages to the liver. As a living spirit with the privilege and gift to live, enjoy, experience, learn, grow and create in a human lifetime, we owe it to our true essence to maintain and take good care of this precious vessel. Listening to and working with our body, this vessel, with love and respect, is a rewarding journey, as it is a living thing with an intelligent capacity and life span.

The importance of drinking lots of water, I stress this to every client all the time, must sound like a 'broken record', some do 'switch off' and choose not to hear it. 6-8 glasses of pure water, on top of, but not just tea, herbal tea, cordial, soft drinks, juice, milk, coffee; is crucial for health of our body and mind. We are 70% water; all organs, systems and processes in the body require water or some element from the water compound to function at optimum. Put a slice of lemon into your glass of water, garnish it with an umbrella or cherry if water simply does not appeal to you. In time you will love it when you can feel the effects and benefits of sufficient water. Working on musculature everyday, and as all physical therapists will tell you because we feel them with our hands, muscles dehydrate with insufficient water. They are congested, 'blocked', the fascia that surrounds bundle of muscles stick, and individual fibres of muscles stick to each other. How can blood, lymph and nerve impulses flow? Blood transports oxygen and nutrients to cells and wastes away, lymph is our immune system, and nerve impulses innervates muscles. Muscles include not just our outer body movement muscles, but muscles of our internal organs such as heart, lungs, liver, bowels, brain etc. Please watch attached link documentary on 'Water- The Great Mystery'. A somewhat long doco but well worth it, better than a Hollywood movie. Grab yourself a couple of pieces of fruits, a glass of water or two, sit back, relax and watch the film, you'll be greatly amazed and enlightened.

We beautify our outer selves; shower everyday, wear beautiful clothes, spray attractive scents over ourselves, put some make-up on (women), shave, get a haircut, some colour, perm, straighten, go for facials, manicure, pedicure, groom ourselves to look, smell and feel good on the outside. Do we do the same for our insides? Do we care, nourish, sustain, heal and love our internal organs; and conduct daily emotional and mental housekeeping to ensure we harbour love, compassion, kindness, tolerance, forgiveness, understanding and positivity towards others and ourselves? Let's love our internal body, as much as we love our external appearance.

Love & Light,
Patsie

Health

Note: Writings about our spirit, soul, essence, our true Self, higher Self, heart, core refers to that within us beyond our physical mind & body that we each know; the fact that we are open & reading, willing to hear & learn is already a sign that we are awake & aware to that innate true Self within us. Our awareness is a journey of endless learning. Often writings posted on this blog are just simple, condensed commentaries on stuff that we already know, 'hear all the time', or may be something new, or from a new perspective; regardless, be open and let them serve as reminders of our own innate knowing and wisdom, and if we think we know better and more, please be open & share. We are all always learning.
Quotes, texts, teachings sometimes used as reference do not indicate any affiliation to any particular lineage, concept, religion or belief system. The writings on this blog is of the essence that is universal and pure beneath and before them all.

HEALTH

Health is big issue and big industry. As a human being we all want 'good' health for vitality and well being.Good health enables us the ability and energy to enjoy life to the full and not suffer discomfort, pain or restrictions. Optimum health we all know entails a balance of healthy diet, regular exercise and positive mind frame. All sound fine and great, and we know it all in theory, but in practice may be quite a challenge when we have acquired some not so desirable habits through our life journeys, and be subjected to an all not-so-perfect physical environment. Nevertheless, the basis of health, like in all areas of our physical life, is CHOICE. We are the ones with the choice, to want to see, learn, change and take the necessary steps.

As a living human being we consists of many levels, the main ones being physical, mental, emotional, spiritual (in ascending order). Hence, optimum health involves the integration on all levels of our living being. Attending to only one particular area without the others will pose limitations on the manifestation of good health. For example, if we only focus on exercising obsessively 7 days/week without attending to our emotional needs of giving and receiving love, or mental balance of cultivating empowering thoughts, and not awake or aware to our real Self that is beyond mind and body; we are only focusing on the physical, with imbalances in the emotional, mental and spiritual levels. We might end up with rippling muscles, a triple sized lung, and heart that pumps rigorously; but we will still be unhealthy because old emotions that were suppressed  and unhealed still festers as buildup of biochemical and cellular toxins as new emotions continue to fill; negative and self defeating thought patterns that were ingrained neural patterns continue to fire, reinforce and autopilot our present thinking, outlook and reactions; hence again triggering more emotions and physiological effects in the body.
Thoughts and emotions are interrelated and  imbalances in either or both can continue to fuel each other into a vicious cycle of spiral towards total breakdown or self destruction. Without being awake and aware of our true Self through our own personal reality (spiritual level), this perspective may not even be at all obvious, we will continue to work and struggle through each minute area in each level of our being, to try and correct and improve with the best of our limited physical capability. To come to the reality of who we really are beyond this mind and body is a shift within us that is almost like a 'short cut'. Working from above, it flows through to all levels ie emotional, mental, physical; making the perspective clearer, our innate knowing ever present, through the journey of healing and maintaining balance.Good health then naturally filters into all areas of our lives, not just our physical bodies, but also our relationships, careers, dreams and goals. Effortlessly we seem to find ourselves living to the full each present moment in sync and in flow, with unconditional peace, love and happiness.Sounds idealistic? Not at all.

Love & Light,
Patsie

AWAKEN our spirit within

Hi all,

This is my very first blog post, just started this blogging education & experience yesterday, so bear with me if I'm still very amateurish. My kids continue to teach me lots everyday :-)

Was compelled recently to start this blog thing because for those who know me and connect on our certain wavelength, our chats are usually confined to time and how much we're ready to take in at the time, in terms of talks and discussions re: our inner self, 'spiritual' path, life, etc etc. So this blog will enable like minded people, people who are awake, aware and open, to connect in a save space, to learn, grow, share.
I will endeavor to post on a regular basis my own writings on our spirit wisdom, reality experiences, insight, and share quotes & links to other enlightened and awakened means and beings that resonate from their pure essence, so that it will all add to helping to guide and enrich our spirit path.

This first post begins with the title of my upcoming book AWAKEN our spirit within, because as most that have chatted with me are aware, and many that have had their own personal reality glimpse experience of awakening, this is the whole journey of what we are about. I mention the book AWAKEN all the time, not because it is intended to be an annoying sales pitch but because it is the compilation of everything that needs to be said & heard. This book simply carries such excitement & energy in being one of the means in speaking directly to the hearts of many and our spirit within, that are ready and open, the opportunity to lead to major transformation, most certainly on a personal & individual level, hence, on a collective & global level. So let's watch this space :-) Book is returning from the editor next week, then heads off into the publishing process, anticipating about 4-6 weeks before all are ready & available. So thank you for your patience, will keep you all informed.

In line with the prophecy for this year 21/12/1012

Here's a blurb for the upcoming book AWAKEN:
 
This book is a must-read for each & everyone of us. Confronting words of truth that flow from our essence and spirit; to AWAKEN from our slumber then live, enjoy, honor and stay true to our spirit journey. To choose with courage and clarity the path towards ultimate peace and love, away from fear and ignorance; towards conscious, awakened and enlightened transformation. To herald us into the era beyond with a major shift in consciousness, as has been prophesied. This is our crucial yet exciting evolution for the reality shift has to begin first and foremost within each of us, to enable the collective ripple to take its course.  

This is all for this first post. Will chat again soon.
Love & Light, Patsie xo
