I have finished my bachelor exam. The pressure has been on as I set a goal for 30 June which is today! yay. Complete!!

My yoga teaching training will be completed by July 11 which has been a 3 month course of combination of spiritual practices, meditation, chanting, Mantras, Japa, Sanskrit, yoga asanas and pranayama, it has been wonderful and the timing perfect - Of course! The timing is always perfect.

I will be flying back to Australia on July 19 for a couple of months while my investor visa application is processed. I will then return to the US to work with Corporate companies and staff helping with Stress Management, Postural & structural realignment, Relaxation & meditation, re-education for mental clarity to reduce stress and increase energy and feel the WOW - wealth of wellbeing. 

I continue to follow my heart and listen to my guidance. I feel there is a huge need for my services in the US as many people are feeling the effects of the economy and caught up in Fear. My mission is to help others focus on the positives in their life to create while feeling calm and in harmony with their life, trusting and having faith which is what my journey has confirmed more and more.

It is May & the time is flying. I am currently half way through the 200 hour Yoga Teaching Training Course which I am attending in Marin California. I love it, I have attended yoga retreats in the past and doing the teacher training is something I have always had on my list of things to do in this life! So now I am doing it!! Yoga makes my body sing, it is something I have always naturally done when growing up not knowing that all these positions were called different names and asanas and helped the body is so many positive ways. In the course I am learning sankrit, chanting, mantras, phylosophy and traditional yoga teachings which is all so fascinating. It is such a wonderful opportunity to be doing right now while I am visiting the US. I am also completing my bachelors as well so it feels great to be productive as well as active. I am currently living in the city at Nob Hill which is wonderful, I love it, the city is so alive! Meeting so many wonderful people, making new friends and connections.

I am so blessed and grateful for all new opportunities and people coming into my life.

Another Update - Well I am now in Canada. Flew into Vancouver which I enjoyed seeing the city again after 20 years. Then drove East to Banff had High Tea at the Fairmont Hotel in Banff which was a special moment to enjoy - the service & the beautiful view of the mountains, it is an amazing building. Visited Lake Louise which was frozen over for the skating. Stayed in Canmore about 20min. from Banff, great for hiking, so many wonderful trails to discover, I have to go back to do more hiking. Drove to Calgary to have a look at the city and stampeded out again, unless you are interested in the zoo or shopping not much there. Then drove back West to Whistler, wonderful drive across, so many beautiful lakes and views to take in - from blue/green lakes to a lake that is completely frozen over. Whistler has just finished the Olympics and the village is still buzzing. Went and enjoyed the Eagle Zip Lines which is so much fun, great adrenaline rush, the last run we could go upside down - woohoo! Also so many great walking trails around the lake and golf course. Back to San Francisco end of this week.

New Living Expo starts this Friday-Sunday in San Francisco which I am attending. It will be wonderful to meet so many awesome people.  

I am also enrolled for a yoga certification teaching training course for the next 3 months in San Francisco. Something I have always wanted to do, learning the traditional teachings, sankrit, mantras, chanting and philosophy.

Life is wonderful, I feel so blessed and grateful to experience all these wonderful gifts life has to offer, I am embracing it all on this journey.

I trust you are also enjoying your days and feeling blessed. Until next time. Be Happy & keep laughing

Life is so exciting! I am so enjoying the energy of the city and revisiting many areas where I used go to when I lived here in the past. This city has so much to offer and energetically in align with holistic health alternative practices. I have joined a yoga studio which is fantastic, the yoga, meditation, kirtan is all wonderful & fully embrace it as part of my journey here and reconnecting with the city. I will be in Canada for 2 weeks in April touring Vancouver, Banff, Whistler then return to San Francisco. Woohoo !!!! Have a blessed day & continue to laugh.......

 Happy New Year - 2010 will be a very exciting & powerful year ahead. I felt the energy shift as soon as I woke up on Friday. The atmosphere felt very different, it was calm & relaxed. I would like to wish you many blessings of love, peace, happiness, health and prosperity for 2010. May all your dreams come true.  

I have just created another recipe for my book, this is a gluten free healthy cake with sproated buckwheat & rice flakes - very moist, nutritious and addictive. All my cakes have no wheat, no eggs, no butter or oil, no sugar, no diary - they are healthy full of goodness and made with love.

This is such an exciting time with all the energy shifts, shifting our consciousness within our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. It is wonderful opportunity to cleanse and release anything that is not for our highest good and see ourselves as powerful, magical beings of light and love radiating out into our higher chakras increasing our vibrational frequencies.

Reminder to turn on your heart light and let it shine out into the world as you radiate the love from your heart light.

We have just experienced a powerful weekend 10/10 & 11/10 - all 111's which is new beginnings! We are purging the old reality constructs from our cells, detoxifying, regenerating and aligning our bodies. On 11/11 there will be another re-calibration to realign ourselves. I will be facilitating another meditation group on Wed. 11 Nov. another very powerful evening. see workshop page for more details.

The Most Important Quality For Success in Business & personal Life

What actions can you take in order to increase your success?
I've learnt over years the following are crucial steps to success:

1.       Have a clear and powerful vision or "why."

2.       Set clear goals and action steps.

3.       Be determined to reach your goals no matter what.

4.       Learn.

5.       Develop communication skills, especially listening skills.

6.       Be self-motivated.

7.       Overcome limitations.

I agree with all of those qualities and I teach them in my workshops, however, even more fundamental is knowing who you are as a person and loving yourself . . . knowing you're worthy.

It is like the "You Are Here" arrow on a map. It's what gives you your bearings, and from there, you know where you're going (vision), how you're going to get there (goals) and you can put success principles into practice (like determination, developing communication and listening skills, overcoming limitations, growing in self-motivation and learning).

So many people don't know themselves at all.

So many people are unclear on what they value, what their passions are, what their strengths and gifts and personality characteristics are.

Therefore, many people don't even know their own worth.

Without this, it's tough to know what you really want and it's even tougher to design a plan for getting there that will work for you.

It's like walking into a shopping mall or a new community and not having that map with the big, red "You Are Here" arrow. If you don't know where you are, it's a little like wandering aimlessly to figure out where you're going and how you're going to get there.

I think the first and most important quality for success in all of life, is the solid foundation of knowing who you are, knowing your worth, and then being able to go after what you want.

How do you build this foundation? Let's start with your mindset. What goes on in your mind about yourself?

Do you think things that bring you down?

• Nothing good ever happens to me.
  
• I'm such a loser.
  
• I can't do that.
  
• I'm too scared to do that.
  
• I'll never get what I want.
  
• I don't have enough _____ to do that.
  
• I'm a failure.
   

Or are your thoughts filled with things that lift you up?

• I'm worthy.
  
• I can do it.
  
• Good things always happen to me.
  
• I feel fear about this, but I'm not going to let it stop me.
  
• I know what I want and I'll do what it takes to get it.
  
• I create my life.
  
• How can I get enough _____ to do this?
  
• I'm successful.
  

In order to achieve success, it's important to know who you are and to come to love who you are -- to see yourself as worthy and valuable. Check out the workshop page to find out how you can be clear about who you are and where you are going.

This means that your Mastery will be even more apparent this year. Your thoughts, actions, prayers and intentions are faster to manifest in a Master year. What do you wish to manifest in your life? It is time to release ALL DOUBT about the new portals and dimension we have entered, and dream your new world!

The game has started as we all move towards asce nsio n . We have 3 years to prepare for 2012.

2008 was preparing us as we experie nced the i nte nse  e nergy, it was like a whirlpool of e nergy & we were getti ng caught up i n it. Some felt like they were falli ng off the deep e nd. These en ergies were bringing up ma ny emotio ns from i nside to bri ng them to the surface, so we ca n let go a nd not judge. Choose what you wa nt to feel ie; joy, peace, love or have other lovi ng nurturi ng feeli ngs.

We need to be ready for 2009….ready for these new beginnings and new connections and new reality. We need to be fresh a nd clea n a nd free of the old. Take away judgeme nt a nd feel compassio n towards others which will bring stre ngth, calm a nd exciteme nt.

Below is a n affirmatio n which you say every mor ni ng to shield a powerful e nergy arou nd yourself. 

Affirmation

I live and move and have my being in a living liquid crystal diamond of light. (visualize yourself in the diamond of light as you say it).

May 2009 bring you all that you desire, live in gratitude, forgive ness, humility a nd most of all love for yourself a nd others.

Thank you for being part of my Journey and I look forward to sharing more special experiences with you.

Have a wonderful start to 2009 as together we will make a difference and shine our light.

MAY 2009 BRING YOU, LOTS OF LOVE, LAUGHTER & FULLNESS OF LIFE...

Look forward to see you i n 2009…may you be blessed i n all ways

Love & Blessi ngs
