Success… do you embrace it and stand tall, run and hide or just ignore it and

remain confused about what it means? Many people associate success purely with material wealth or fame. What if success was a personal experience rather than a competition? Success can encompass all aspects of our lives to take into account personal meaning and fulfi lment.

I had a dream 3.5 years ago to create a quick read magazine that would create a forum (as well as bring a bit of relief from all the doom and gloom that was going on with the start of the GFC) and to help people look at a holistic way of living to include their relationship with themselves, others and the environment.

I didn’t realise the magazine would grow to be so in demand all over Queensland and more and more over Australia. I realise

now I had actually put a limit on things by saying, ‘It will be a local 28 page quick read magazine’ this was what I thought would be best and manageable but now I know that the magazine knows how many pages it would like to be and who it would like to reach (so to speak) and so I watch it evolve and see how it’s become a part of so many people’s lives. Th is is a great joy and I’m also acutely aware of what it takes in order for a project to reach a point where it takes on a life of its own. As I look back over all the articles this month I feel incredibly grateful for the immense wisdom shared by all our contributors. What else will unfold?

Who’s on the cover for September? Th is month we talk with successful holistic business owner Erin McAtee about her vision and how it’s continuing to grow and make a diff erence in the community.

You Need To Clean Your Body On The Inside.Detoxifi cation can simply transform your life. We are all having showers and brushing our teeth daily, but not paying much attention to what’s happening inside of our body. Our organs get dirty just like a fi lter in a car.

The toxins we ingest and inhale daily contribute to chronic infl ammation and disease, causing lots of problems like:

Aches and pains Stiff ness of muscles and

joints Headaches Insomnia

Anxiety, irritability Tiredness Food cravings Weight gain Hormonal imbalances

This is what some of the patients who followed this detox program are saying:

“I am totally amazed how much energy I suddenly got after just a week on Gosia’s detox program. My bloating is gone, my ankles are not puff y anymore, lost already 2kg without even trying and what’s most amazing, I sleep like a baby!” Debra K, Twin Waters

“I’ve been to many doctors and specialists and got only more and more drugs for my irritable bowel. The problem was so bad I had to stop working and felt helpless. Now after seeing Gosia, I’ve changed my diet and religiously take a supplement recommended by her and feel 100% again. If I only came to see her earlier I would spare myself lots of money and suff ering.” Russell M, Buderim

“If you are thinking of seeing a Naturopath, come and see Gosia! She helped me so much with my allergies, migraines and my digestive problems. I am no longer miserable and tired. Highly recommend it to everyone.” Barbara J, Mooloolaba

ChilliChilli

Chilli has been part of our diet for thousands of years. Th e heat in chilli is measured by the amount

of capsaicin that is in the fruit by using Scoville Heat Units (SHU), but this should only be used as a guide as seed lineage, climate and soil all aff ect a chilli’s spiciness. Th e hottest chilli in the world measures over 2 million SHU’s and is grown here in Australia. Ouch!

Besides being versatile and having a place in almost every cuisine, there are

loads of health benefi ts to adding chilli to your diet on a regular basis. It

treats osteoarthritis pain, it reduces both cholesterol

and blood sugar levels in the blood, it lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and

pulmonary embolism and it helps protect blood fats from damage done by free radicals. It can even protect against some cancers, including prostate cancer. So why not sprinkle some chilli onto your meal – it’s so good for you!

www.redhotchillipepper.com.au

Add lemon zest and the juice of 1 lemon, combine well.Divide mixture into the paper cases and bake in a moderate oven for 20 minutes or until cakes spring back.Remove from oven to cool before decorating.

Frosting:Place mascarpone cheese in a bowl with the cream and lemon zest and mix well using electric beater.Spoon into piping bag and decorate the cooled cakes.

Vibrant. Delicious. Nourishing. Unique.

Th ese are the ideals behind the amazing fl avours, sensational smoothies and delightful foods served up by Rafael and Michelle from ‘Flavours of Brazil’.

Brazilian-born Rafael knows what it takes to recreate some of Brazil’s most simple yet delicious foods. Aft er living in Australia for more than 10 years, it was his desire to eat the foods he craved from his home country that lead to establishing the local Sunshine Coast business – ‘Flavours of Brazil’. Since the arrival of their two children, Rafael and Michelle feel passionately about educating the next generation to choose food that gives the body the energy to enjoy life and heal itself.

ACAITh e fi rst ingredient on the menu is

Açaí (pronounced Ah-sigh-ee). Th is purple berry grows deep in the Amazon Rainforest and is one of the most nutrient rich wholefoods on the planet. It is nature’s multi-vitamin but also contains over 17 vital minerals, 20 essential and non-essential amino acids, not to mention it’s the world’s richest known source of Anthocyanins (which are antioxidants that protect body systems and help protect against disease). Together we are helping to preserve three thousand acres of Acai rainforest and support over four thousand Brazilian families.

Flavours of Brazil have created the ideal way to spring clean from the inside with this super smoothie which is a fl avour sensation!!

It was a beautiful sunny morning when I took a trip to Maleny to have a ‘raw experience’ at the new cafe called ‘Raw

and Peace’ in Coral St. Th e sunny deck nestled in the leafy Hinterlands was very inviting as were the delicious treats in the cabinet when I fi rst arrived!

Damion and Ames the creators/owners greeted me with a big smile and were excited to share their passion for raw cuisine. Damion served me a raw, cold pressed organic coff ee made on nut milk which was a great way to kick start the morning (I don’t usually drink coff ee but this was quite diff erent and a more wholesome way of having this beverage). Th en Ames whipped up some magic in the kitchen and before I knew it she had plated up waffl es, with a

dollop of cream, strawberries and a touch of maple syrup (all raw!!)

While I was taking in the surroundings and enjoying my breakfast, I was also able to try the much touted Buchi Kombucha drink which is new to Australia (and created by Jason Lantz). Ames and Damion said they serve and drink a lot of this organic, living, probiotic sparkling drink themselves, as it can facilitate digestion which is great support when consuming a lot of raw food.

Ames is no stranger to living food and creative cooking (she was

previously a traditional cook) and has also used raw foods for

her healing journey over the years. Ames is well known aft er having a

regular presence at Northey Street

Markets in Brisbane but

this year it was time for a tree

change and

a great opportunity to bring her raw cafe dream into fruition. She says it brings her great joy ‘uncooking for people’ and adapting traditional cooked recipes (that are the big favourites) and then creating a raw version of them that create a real impression!

Raw and Peace off ers a gluten free, raw, vegan and organic menu for breakfast and lunch and savoury and sugar free morning and aft ernoon tea delights. Th is is a great fi nd if you have food allergies and are doing a little spring cleaning/detoxing or it’s great even if you just want to tantalise your taste buds in a totally nutritious way!

This always takes me back to the words – be in service for your purpose, whatever that may be to

you and to live in the moment, in the truth. I however, just like many of us, do not always do this.

Around my business I make mistakes – I will sit and interview a potential employee and somewhere all of a sudden or even sometimes ‘it’ (the feeling, the words), are there from the start and the knowing that this person, isn’t for me. But what do I do? Well sometimes, even though I have the grace of this

information, I will still employ them and then start the journey; the cost of NOT facing what I saw, not doing what I knew I should have and NOT listening to me. Yes, I then take the path of having to face what I didn’t in the interview (the TRUTH). I have not acted through truth and for this, the actions or non-actions of what I know, I must pay.

As we know, sometimes we pay with money, sometimes we pay for the emotional roller-coaster that we then go on, (when we knew NOT to go against our truth) but never the less, we then must face ourselves over the next days, weeks, months and sometimes years. In the end, if you are willing to face yourself and all that goes with this, you will feel success – truth.

I can only write from my experience and what I know. I feel that as humans we are so blessed to be able to reason, feel and forgive ourselves and others for not being perfect and we can make adjustments and changes along the way. I always feel grace in knowing that we have this ability to love and this love will always bring us success – we just need to

love ourselves to do this.Success comes with true love – this

however needs to be managed – we need to be aware – and look at our intent by asking, ‘What am I going to this course for?’, ‘What am I looking for in this book?’. Part of the human journey can be distracting ourselves from having to face the silence but in the end, it still, for me, comes back to, being able to know why we are ‘doing the doing’; doing the actions or ‘non actions’. But I always feel a peace run through my body, just knowing that if I would like to, just by facing the truth, (yes there are prices to pay for this) and living through the love of this universe, I will feel success all around me. To always be grateful that we have the knowing – and that we are love- this is success. To reason, to be aware, to feel around us, to face fear front on and to accept that there are many roads, many diff erent paths and to not judge ourselves is a very big step on the road to success – to just love.

Today we are fortunate to be able to do, run and have a business very much on our terms. Th ere are

many ways we can do this – the secret is in fi nding what works best for you, your style and your needs as a person.

One woman who has done this and carved out a highly successful career is bestselling author and business mentor Rachael Bermingham who has built her business empire by producing products that she needed herself.

With 8 bestselling books gracing bookstore shelves including Australia’s biggest selling cookbook series ‘4 Ingredients’ and the newly released business bible for Mums ‘Savvy – Ingredients for Success’, Rachael is a brilliant role model for any parent wanting to work from home while raising their children.

For Rachael, business success means having the choice and freedom to work when and how she wants so that her ability to still be a hands on Mum to her 3 little boys, Jaxson 7 years, and twins Bowie and Casey 2 years isn’t compromised.

‘I wouldn’t say it’s the easiest thing to do – work from home, but for me it is defi nitely very rewarding- I get to have my cake and eat it too.

It’s really lovely to be mentoring entrepreneurial women over the phone helping them achieve great success, or tapping out another book on my laptop and still have lunch, cuddles and a play with my children,’ Rachael said.

‘In the past 8 years I’ve made some mistakes but fortunately have had more successes and have found a nice rhythm which suits me as a solo parent, woman and business person,’ she said.

Since leaving 4 Ingredients last year, Rachael has been developing and building her own Publishing and Distribution House ‘Bermingham Books’ which is the only one of its kind incorporating an educational and production centre for authors where they can learn how to write, produce and also promote their books.

Rachael’s tips for business success taken from her new book Savvy are:

• Use your intuition – Tune into your

own answers rather than asking everyone else.

• Have a plan – Be crystal clear on how you see your business this time next year and how you see your role within it.

• Schedule – Put all your ‘to do’s’ into a schedule so you don’t over commit and also keep momentum.

• Action – Take loads of action – it’s not enough to have a plan – you have to act.

• Believe – Have faith in yourself – you’ll be surprised where you can go if you just have a little faith.

To connect with Rachael go to her Facebook site www.facebook.com/RachaelBermingham.LIVE and to see more of her business strategies pick up a copy of Savvy in all good bookstores or online at RachaelBermingham.com

By Vanessa Finnigan

Erin McAtee is not your average psychologist! Not only is she a mother of two, she is also the

managing owner and the visionary behind the well known Circle Wellness Clinics (CWC) on the Sunshine Coast. In fact, the clinics have been so widely embraced by the community that you may just fi nd a centre in every town before too long…

I had the pleasure of talking with Erin this month about her success in business and I have to say she is a very centred and genuine person who manages to fi nd the balance between being and doing. As we were talking, I also realised how similar our backgrounds were (we went to the same high school, we both have psychology backgrounds and both have a passion for holistic health and seeing the whole person not just treating the symptoms). What was also evident was Erin’s unique vision and gift s as a practitioner-manager which has meant she has attracted a talented multi disciplinary team to provide a cutting edge service.

Erin had the vision about three years ago to establish the Circle Wellness Clinics as a way of off ering the

community access to a range of holistic health and wellness services.

“I was down the beach with my kids in September 2009 and the vision struck me while on the water’s edge. At that time, I had been practising in and managing a natural therapies clinic at Noosaville for about 18 months and I thought, ‘how can this get even better?’ I wanted to expand our team of talented practitioners to other areas of the Sunshine Coast and off er the community a brand new level of safe, professional and collaborative natural therapies all under one roof,” she said.

In December 2009 Erin created the brand of ‘Circle Wellness Clinic’ to encompass that holistic view. From the time she had the vision on the beach, things evolved very quickly and within three months she was building the second clinic at Peregian Beach.

“For myself, I wanted a new challenge professionally, and for the community, I wanted increased awareness of and access to holistic health options,” she said.

Erin is a natural born leader and she has much wisdom to share about her gift s as a manager.

“I aim to create a culture of

inclusiveness, while respecting that CWC is a collection of individual businesses. Communication is the key. CWC is a place where practitioners can be themselves in an environment of support and collaboration.”

Erin used the analogy of needing to be like bamboo in business. She said bamboo is one of the strongest building materials but it’s also fl exible.

She commented that having the strength and fl exibility in business is very much a way of being. Th ere can be challenges at times with managing a team of independent practitioners but she said having a professional and competent team means that any issues that arise can be worked through and resolved. “I do feel blessed to work with a group of such aware, sensitive and professional people. Over time, the team has become more amazing, collectively, than I could have imagined.”

Erin believes it’s all about fi nding the balance and being prepared to grow. She also said it’s important for her to be a good example and walk her talk.

“My family is my greatest love and priority, however I also feel good about modelling to my children that it’s important to work and serve your community. I’ve always worked part time while my children are young, so that I get a sense of balance across the working week, and I’m lucky enough to have a job that allows me the fl exibility to work in with my family’s schedule where possible. At busy times though, this does mean some late nights or early mornings on the laptop!”

She said being involved in a creative project and managing people are both massive sources of learning and growth.

My family is my greatest love and priority,

however I also feel good about modelling to my children that it’s important to work and

serve your community.

“I have learned to trust my instincts, trust in the overall vision and trust that life is essentially supportive.” She mentioned that the team has grown to include an even more comprehensive range of services that encompass mind, body and spirit. In the early stages, they off ered traditional natural therapies such as counselling, kinesiology, massage and naturopathy but have extended their range to include organic skin and beauty treatments, body consciousness, Reiki, spiritual counselling, life coaching, herbalism, hypnosis and access consciousness.

“I’m always open to expanding my team and adding more complementary modalities to our existing range of services off ered,” she said.

And… Erin is dreaming of a third Circle Wellness Clinic in the south east corner sometime in the near future. She is also working on a plan to help more remote, regional areas access holistic healthcare options.

“To me, being successful means following your vision and your heart, or passion. Success means being brave enough to take a leap of faith, staying true to yourself and at the end of the day being able to say to yourself, I’ve given the best I can today, and that is enough. Th en from a place of gratitude for all that is, asking the question, ‘How does it get even better than this?’”www.circlewellness.com.au

Q: What are your favourite things to do in your spare time?

A: I love simple pleasures such as being in my home with my family, cooking a great meal, hanging at the park or the beach with my kids (I have two daughters aged 4 and 7), and spending time with friends. I also love being in nature.

Q: What’s your favourite way of keeping fi t?

A: I love being active, and regularly do yoga and boxing classes.

Q: How important is an holistic way of living to you?

A: I embrace and live an holistic lifestyle. I can’t separate the mind and the body – where there is mental or emotional stress, it will be felt in the body. And where there is physical stress, it will impact on the mind.

So I am mindful to treat myself

gently and attend to all types of

health in my self-care.

Q: What are your plans for 2013?

A: There’s possibly a trekking

adventure in South America to look

forward to next year too! Travel

both excites and restores me. A

sense of adventure is so important

for the spirit!

For most people, success is a monetary value. It’s about how much money is in the bank or the

numbers on a profi t and loss statement. What if success in business is about something else? What if it isn’t just about making a profi t? What if there is a greater target for your business and for you?

And what if the money shows up when you are generating and creating the energy of what you know is possible with your business? From the JOY of you. Money follows JOY!

For me, business is about changing the world. I am just one person from Australia who wishes to make a diff erence in the world. If I had decided this wasn’t possible, I would never have created the position of worldwide coordinator of Access Consciousness. Every person can contribute and make a diff erence. You do, every day.

What about you? What does success mean to you? I had a phone call from a lady one day who wished to thank me. She told me that she had been married for about 12 years and had 6 kids and her husband beat her up every day.

She had one of our magnets “Imagine what you would do if you knew you could not fail,” on her fridge for the past six months and she had just left her husband and was creating a diff erent life. Th at was a $5 magnet.

If I had calibrated my success based on a $5 sale it would not have meant much. But to me I was a success. Th is lady’s whole life had changed – including her kids – and who knows what else occurred.

I recently made the choice to close a company down. In this reality that is a failure. Th at is not what has occurred. I have allowed the awareness to show me what is possible and I’m willing to ask questions and to receive everything. If I went to the conclusion of the company is shutting down so I am a failure, then I would shut off my capacity to receive, my capacity to recognise when something greater can show up. If you create space, then you allow money and possibilities to show up. If you go to conclusion, you kill the energy of any future possibilities. What if you could change the world by who you ‘be’ and what you are willing to receive? What if that was the success you were refusing to be?

What if you could never lose – what if everything became greater? It’s just a choice. What if success was a great adventure?

Imagine being told you would never be able to read and write and you would never amount to anything? Th at is what

John Demartini was told at the tender age of seven by his grade one teacher and he was also given the diagnosis of ‘dyslexia’. Not surprisingly he found little opportunities through his schooling experience to learn and understand his true gift s and so he left school at 14 years of age. He also left home to live on the streets for about three years and nearly died from his heavy drug use and reckless lifestyle.

It wasn’t until he met American health food guru/naturopath Paul Bragg when he was 17 years old that he was inspired to return to school, deciding to not let his ‘learning disability’ get in his way. John went on to graduate from college and practice as a chiropractor. He continued to educate himself and he became very well read in a wide range of topics including astronomy, psychology and metaphysics.

Today, Dr John Demartini is one of the world’s leading educators in the area of human behaviour and empowerment

and has helped millions of people all around the world. “Th is is my 40th year of teaching, I educate, research and I write and assist people in maximising their awareness and potential so they can live a more inspired leadership fi lled life,” he said.

John believes that anyone can experience lasting change. “Everyone has a set of values and priorities they live their life by and when they set goals that are congruent and aligned with their highest values they have the greatest ability to achieve these.”

If they access what that highest value is and set goals that are congruent, they have the highest probability of acting upon it and achieving greatness. Many people subordinate to others and inject values and objectives that aren’t really theirs and set themselves up for self defeat.”

Another observation John made was most people are addicted to fantasies which means they live outside their own values. John’s ‘breakthrough weekends’ help people address and solve these issues and see the side of themselves they are

ignoring. John said, “When we are congruent we give ourselves permission to be authentic, original, creative and empowered.

Th e magnifi cence of the way it truly is far greater than the fantasy we keep imposing on our lives. Th e true you is worthy of love, the true you is original and creative and a genius that’s inspired. And that’s what’s possible.”

John revealed there isn’t anything else he’d rather be doing each weekend than watch people’s lives transform.

“No matter what you’ve been through, no matter what you’re going through, that’s not what counts. It’s your perceptions of it, your decisions around it and what action you take from it. I’ve worked with disadvantaged kids, people who have been beaten and raped and every imaginable thing that people could go through that would be traumatic and I have seen how we can turn that into opportunity.”

The Sig ifi cance The Sig ifi cance of Success! of Success!By Raelene Byrne


One seemingly small insignifi cant change you make towards creating a better life or

understanding yourself aligns you to a life of great success.

“Th e achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted” is the dictionary defi nition of success. If we use this as a general rule, each of us, no matter where we stand in life, is a perfect, unique expression of success. Whether you see your life as amazing and fulfi lled or mundane, directionless and unhealthy, then that is a measure of success, as you have achieved something desired, planned or attempted! Your thoughts do INDEED create your world.

Congratulations, for the life you have created successfully, for right now, all that you have thought, all the actions or lack of them, and all the processes that you have running through your mind, has created the life you are living right now.

If you can create a life that you are not happy with, imagine what you could achieve if you put all your thoughts, beliefs and energy into having and

creating the life that you desire.Real, tangible and complete success

comes from a mind that is joyful, a heart that is true with integrity and a spirit that knows its purpose.

Success has become synonymous with fame and fortune, however, it really isn’t about what you have or your status in the world. In the constant striving for ‘external’ success, many have lost the pathway to the beauty of the heart success. Th e depth of wisdom and knowledge of the self brings comfort and leads us to create a life that pulses with success at personal levels; whether in the big world, or in the simple daily acts of service, care and support. Th at is the absolute measure of true success.

It is time to exercise self-responsibility and own the fact that only you have put yourself in this place at this exact moment in time..

Whether that is a job you don’t enjoy, a health situation that is a challenge, an unhappy relationship or a lack of direction, there is one common denominator, and that is YOU. All these

external factors and these inner feelings are all messages refl ecting to you how you are using or not using, the powerful energy we all have access to, as a creative force in life.

Blaming, fi nding excuses, and living with limitations are all methods that we have used to convince ourselves of our lack of success. It’s time to change how you see yourself and move into the space of achieving your true potential, supported by infi nite possibilities.

Achieving in the world is a reward for being who you are. Some say success comes with a heft y price, well maybe it does if you are seeing success as something outside of you. If your power is directed or being given away to things that are not in alignment with your spirit or heart, that is a costly price that will eventually aff ect much in your world. Being you and true to that, is the greatest success story available to anyone right now.

Did you know that the fi rst cervical vertebra, the atlas, is out of alignment in most people?This circumstance leads to a variety of physical and psychological ailments and illnesses. Atlasprofi lax is a neuromuscular technique that liberates the Atlas with only one application accurately, safely and permanently.

This powerful relocation immediately activates a self-healing and harmonising process. It is holistic in nature, promoting wellness and rejuvenation on all levels, mind, body and spirit. This method is nonmedical, non-chiropratic.

One Treatment Can Be Life ChangingThe Atlas supports your head and governs structural alignment. A misaligned Atlas causes restriction of the brain stem, spinal cord, cranial nerves and arteries. This limits our potential for wellbeing and creates tension, restricting the free fl ow of energy.

When the Atlas is installed correctly, the body begins an unwinding process, releasing holding patterns and enabling the body to heal and regenerate.

Success is a dream come true! Success is a dream come true! By Jean Sheehan, Principal – Millennium Education


Today there is so much written about what success is. What if we saw the every day experiences as

successful? What if success was having a dream and making it come true?

Recently I was nominated in the Sunshine Coast Womens Network Business Award and have become a fi nalist. It was not until I had to write the application did I suddenly self realize that I was a success – not to others but to myself. You see from 5 years old I had a dream and a secret and that was to create an educational system to empower children and adults to see their own gift and potentiality using metaphysical techniques, crystals, gridding and quantum physics. I wanted these techniques in everyday life and in main stream schools. My secret was that I could see the potential in people by intuitive sight through seeing their anatomy and physiology and how emotions locked in to the body. Th e award application took me on a journey of self discovery.

From birth I have always been able to connect with the metaphysical. Being

from the Middle East this was considered ‘evil’ and I was outcast. I experienced all sorts of abuse as a child. Holding the secret back of my Medical Intuitive gift took its toll especially aft er my Mother died on Christmas day when I was 16. Th at is when I decided to go to an acceptable job; Nursing so I could understand what I was seeing and how to integrate the physical and metaphysical. More life experiences included being raped, homeless, stalked and depression with suicidal thoughts. Each day and each moment was a journey where I repeated an affi rmation from childhood ‘good/god comes from bad’. I just could

not see that my success was that I was dealing with these by myself. I was accomplishing so much but thought success was something outside of me. My passion for helping people drove me through unbelievable challenges. Th at is when I realized success was not what others thought but what I perceive it to be. It was the act of the award that showed me I was a winner within my own world as I saw myself and that I can do anything if I put my mind to it and it is how I see myself not how others see me.

By the way my childhood dream came true. We now educate the metaphysical in schools, corporations and main stream globally. We are all a success on some level but you need to recognise it in your self and reward your self for that accomplishment, achievement and victory.

Defi ning success is a little like a fi ngerprint. Everyone’s defi nition is diff erent, and there are no two

exactly alike. Success, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

For some success is defi ned by acquisitions, but I believe it’s more about how the way we live ‘feels’. For me, it’s about living with passion and purpose; having a sense that I am making a diff erence in some way; and being free to make choices about how I live and love. It’s less about what I do, and more about how I do it. Some days I ‘do it’ better than others.

As human beings we are multi-dimensional. It’s interesting to ponder how success can be measured across various elements of our lives; personally,

spiritually and in our vocations. In its simplest terms, I evaluate success based on personal freedom, spiritual connection, and making a meaningful contribution.

Personal freedom. A happy personal life is instrumental to success. Without it, the joys of success in other areas of our lives can be tinged with sadness and regret. Prioritising time, without feeling pressured, for holidays, friends, my husband, family and personal me time, all play a part, and are essential elements to a successful life.

Spiritual connection. Without a spiritual connection, life can seem meaningless. Connecting to God, or source, provides a sense of purpose, and nurtures our intuition. Staying tuned into that ever present voice provides reassurance and guidance that how we are spending out time is for the best, and that we are staying on purpose, in all areas of our lives.

Meaningful work. Making a diff erence and using my gift s and talents is fundamental to success for me. Although I can measure success through

numbers or clients, income, leads and subscribers, these are more symptoms of my success, not the cause of it! If I feel good about what I am doing, my clients are satisfi ed, and my business is growing as a result of living out my business passion; that is success to me.

Recognition of our contribution. Being recognised for the contribution we make shouldn’t matter, but oft en does. It can’t replace our own inner conviction for how we live, but it can confi rm that we are making a diff erence in the lives of others, personally and professionally. A thankyou from my children, an encouraging word from my husband, or a business award nomination from a client or peer, are the kinds of recognition that I treasure. Recognising and thanking others is just as important.

I received an email in my inbox yesterday with the joyful opening line “Th ere’s nothing worse than making an

embarrassing mistake when you’re ‘on stage.’”

“Embarrassing” and “mistake” are some of the words that keep public speaking ranked as the number one fear in the world. Yet we all spend time in front of audiences, be it a small presentation at the offi ce or a toast at a wedding.

What would it take for those moments to be easier, and dare I suggest,

even joyful? How about giving up perfection as the goal you are shooting for?

A classically trained actress and singer, I bought the idea at a very young age that perfection was what would create success. Yet when I moved to New York I saw two kinds of high caliber performers on Broadway, and the eff ect they had on me in the audience were radically diff erent. Th ere were excellent performers who were nearing technical perfection and who I envied and admired. Th en there were riveting performers who were somehow them in every role they approached and who I was inspired and moved by.

Some people call this the “it” factor claiming it cannot be taught or called upon. I call it the willingness to be you in front of others. And do you know what? Having now worked with thousands of people on stages around the world, I know that anyone can achieve it.

What is required is a willingness to let go of judgment of you, let down your barriers and learn to be present with the audience. Th at may be easier said then

done but it is something you can learn. Once you start enjoying being in your own skin, it doesn’t matter if you forget a line, mess up the order of your slides, or say the wrong thing. You can actually bring the audience with you on the journey to wherever you are going.

Th e next time you fi nd yourself in front of a group of people and feel yourself getting nervous or worrying about messing up, try this. Take a deep breath and say “hey, perfection is an interesting point of view.” Be kind to yourself. Ask a question. Laugh a bit. And notice the connection it creates.

And what if perfection were far overrated?

“Our Beliefs Become Our Th oughts, Our Th oughts Become Our Words, Our Words Become Out Actions,

Our Actions Become Our Habits And Our Values Become Our Destiny.” Mahatma Gandhi

Th e latest neuroscience confi rms that our hardwired subconscious beliefs and not our genes direct more than 95% of our behavioural and biological outcomes. More specifi cally, it’s how we perceive our environment, which creates our beliefs. So if we wish to take control of our lives in a positive way, we fi rst need to change the underlying subconscious programming that created it.

Th e biggest issue with changing subconscious beliefs is that it’s diffi cult to identify what they are, because they’re subconscious. Even if we could, we don’t usually have a process to quickly and eff ectively delete and replace the old programs that limit us with ones that support us.

Affi rmation, positive thinking and will power have been the mantras (pardon the pun) of self-help, goal setting and personal development, however they

rarely create change, because the issue doesn’t start in conscious thinking. It originates with subconscious beliefs. It’s not until you change this basic soft ware of your subconscious, which is like your hard drive that change happens.

Th e great news is we now have a simple fast and highly eff ective process called PSYCH-K, to quickly identify and replace any of those self-limiting and self-destructive beliefs with powerful self-supporting beliefs with lasting change.

Th e interesting thing is that PSYCH-K isn’t powerful. You’re powerful!

PSYCH-K is just the keyboard to help you access your unlimited potential.

You have all the resources you need to rewrite the soft ware of your mind and transform the print out of your life.

Some unique elements used in PSYCH-K essential for successful belief change include:

1. Whole Brain State, which signifi cantly reduces the resistance of the subconscious mind to accept a new belief, created by physical postures

providing equal identifi cation of the left and right cerebral cortex.

2. Activation of Super-Conscious (Higher Self) to open up the subconscious hard drive and ensure the proposed changes are safe and appropriate.

3. Moving towards what you “Do Want” rather than what you “Don’t Want”.

4. Being a “Do With” Process rather than “Do To” or “Do On”, honoring the power and responsibility of the individual making the changes.

5. Creating well-formed Belief Statements in the language of subconscious.

6. Highly accurate form of subconscious Muscle Testing to identify like/dislike, true/false and yes/no answers as the communication medium for pre and post testing.

If you have a strong desire to do something worthwhile that will contribute to people’s lives and make

your heart soar then it is worth working towards and persisting regardless of the related cost. Oft en you need to show the universe that you really believe in your dreams, that you are willing to do what it takes and be who you need to be before you can claim the rewards.

When I interviewed Richard Bach, best-selling author of Jonathon Livingston Seagull, he shared with me that his book was rejected by 18 publishers. “Aft er every publisher in New York would not publish that book, fi nally one person, at one publishing house, who had already rejected it, saw the manuscript, and she said, ‘We will print this book and I don’t care what any of you say.’ By 1975 Richard Bach’s 10,000 word story, Jonathon Livingston Seagull, had sold seven million copies in U.S. alone.

Paulo Coelho the bestselling author of, Th e Alchemist, shared, ‘I think it is a lie when you accept a life that is not yours

and you start to quit the good fi ght, to lose your enthusiasm, your innocence, and then realise that you are not in control of your life.’

Th is month I am celebrating the fi ve year anniversary of my book, Th e Secret Language of Your Body: Th e Essential Guide to Health and Wellness.

Th e last fi ve years of my life, since the book came out have been extraordinary, life changing, confrontational, testing and staggering. Th e book is into its 6th printing in the US and 5th in Australia / New Zealand. It became a best seller in several countries and has been published in over 15 languages. I have travelled and taught in countries I had never heard of, met an array of incredible, wise, famous, fascinating people, and have felt elated, transformed and at times deeply challenged!

Th is has been a huge part of my own growth and expansion.

I have done hundreds of interviews in many diff erent languages all around the world, including a CNN Latin America interview which had over 40 million viewers, and helped countless people to

develop their intuition, connect to their bodies and heal.

I believe that success is about following your dreams and being fl exible enough to adjust course when things are not working. Success requires a balanced point of view and recognizing that achievement of your dreams can be as challenging as it is fulfi lling.

At the same time to be truly successful you have to trust your gut instinct and have the ability to deal with criticism. You must be clear and strong enough in your convictions to handle any criticisms and use other people’s observations to make you stronger.

Lastly, success usually requires support, faith and action from others. I would never have had the success I have achieved, if not for countless dedicated people who have sold, shared, published and promoted my work.

If you want to truly become successful, you have to drop the BS and understand what success really is; as it

relates to the truest you.At age 16, I was not successful with

girls. A skinny kid, I joined the gym to create the perfect body. Th is physical success brought good health, moments of fl eeting happiness and admiring glances from the opposite sex.

Having a great physical appearance was not permanent or completely fulfi lling, so I next chose to create fi nancial success by making more and more money. Money brought toys, moments of fl eeting happiness, and admiring glances from the opposite sex.

Having more money was not permanently or completely fulfi lling, so I chose to sow into relationships. Th is love addiction was also unfulfi lling, as I sometimes found that I was so “into” the other person that the real me disappeared.

As I navigated past physical success (muscles that grew then withered), material success (money that rose then fell) and relationship success (more rise

and fall), I discovered that there were many versions of success, truths and truer truths. Beyond that, I ultimately discovered the truest truth of all.

Going somewhere over the rainbow, beyond the various truths, whether you see seven colours or seven million, you will eventually discover that you can only see a rainbow if there is a single source of light. Th is is the truest truth: above all shades of BS truths and truer truths.

Beyond the physical, material and relational lies the spiritual: without it, the others are nothing. Your success will be hollow or short-lived if you overlook the eternal fourth dimension or the intransient fi ft h element that combines or surrounds all others.

To inject some eternal spiritual success into your physicality, bring mindfulness into your daily activities: meditation does not mean always sitting still. You can meditate whilst eating, dancing, walking, running or doing yoga.

You can enjoy a more successful relationship by bringing a spiritual goal to your union: instead of each partner merely focusing on making the other

partner happy, aim to have a combined goal that brings happiness to others as well.

Bring spiritual success into your material world by having a greater purpose for your wealth. Tithing, or giving back to the community or the world is a fundamental fi nancial principle in many sacred traditions and has been taught for thousands of years because it works on fi nancial and spiritual levels.

Just as turning up the light source makes for richer colours in the rainbow, more spiritual enlightenment in your life will make all of your success goals clearer, bolder, richer and stronger.

success yet feel impoverished in meaning, peace and joy.

2. Business people who are already aligned with work they are passionate about but want to help more people and be fi nancially rewarded for it.

For both of these groups what’s stopping them from receiving their enriched life is within them. Beliefs, expectations, judgements and fears that

prevent them from living a life aligned with their truth, their unique gift s, and their Big vision. Blocks that prevent them from truly sharing their gift s.

Unblocking these barriers to our success is the most important work we can do. When we are in fl ow with ourselves and in alignment with our truth, our richness is shared, and we are also free to receive the riches of life.

Th is journey is not always easy. At times it requires us to stretch ourselves, overcome challenge, face our fears, extend our comfort zone.

It requires us to go deep, be real, be vulnerable, fi nd strength.

Th is journey is the richness of life. Enjoy!

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW YOUR LIFE PURPOSE?KNOW YOUR LIFE PURPOSE?

By Leigh Rorke

Imagine you are sitting on your rocking chair when you are 90 years old, contentedly looking back at your life.

You feel a success. How will you know your life has been a success? What will you have Done? Been?

Achieved? Felt? Given?Th e answer for all of you will be

diff erent. But when my clients and I do this exercise there oft en is an answer along the theme of the giving and expression of our unique gift s. Of having met our potential and of having enjoyed it along the way, smelling the roses. Being present for loved ones. Th ere is a sense of living an enriched life and of enriching the life of others.

“You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a fi ner spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.” Woodrow Wilson

In my work as a Coach and Kinesiologist I work mainly with two distinct groups of people.

Feng Shui’s multi-layered approach, allows you to embrace the best Qi (energy)possible your premises can off er. Beautifying and curving the landscape design in the front

of your home, signifi cantly encourages Qi to fl ow onto your property propelling opportunities into your business.

As this vital energy enters your foyer into an uncluttered well lit space, the Qi must slow, gather and circulate, facilitated by furniture arrangements such as a rug and mirror with fresh fl owers to uplift the Qi, whilst refl ecting your unique décor.

Th e entrance is best located in a Feng Shui building compass sector, that activates ‘wealth and fame’ or ‘success and promotion’. If so, fi nancial prosperity can be activated by water features.

Ideally, locate your offi ce in a room with one of these excellent energies and if possible, in the career (north) sector too. Auspicious offi ce furniture placement is crucial for Qi fl ow and support. Place your desk with a solid wall behind you, where you can view the whole room and door, giving you a sense of being in control of your work. Beautiful artwork symbolic of your goals and visions can sit on the wall opposite to inspire your intentions.

When they told me that my project this month was to experience a Kahuna massage,

I immediately had visions of massive Polynesian bare-chested men in grass skirts – some thumping religiously on drums with others walking on my back! I can’t tell you of my relief when Scott Murray opened the door to his lovely home in the leafy outskirts of Noosa (minus the grass skirt and drums and wearing plain clothes). Scott is a truly gentle man who, I was soon to fi nd out, was both gift ed and dedicated to improving the lot of his fellow humans.

While I fi lled out the usual client intake form we talked about my ailments (too many to list aft er decades in the construction industry and even longer riding motorbikes) and what Kahuna is all about. Originating in Hawaii as part of

a right of passage, it has served those islanders for centuries. Traditionally in ancient Hawaiian Lomi Lomi was practiced in four contexts:

1. As a healing practice of native healers – kahuna lā‘au lapa‘au (healers) and kahuna hāhā (diagnosticians)

2. As a luxury and an aid to digestion, especially by the ruling chiefs (ali‘i)

3. As restorative massage within the family

4. By ‘ōlohe lua (masters of the Hawaiian martial arts)

Although the term Kahuna Lomi Lomi is widely used in contemporary writings, traditionally the people who performed Lomi Lomi were called ka po ‘e lomilomi (the massage people) or kanaka Lomi (massage person). Th e word kauka is the Hawaiian version of doctor. Like many endeavours in old Hawaii, Lomi Lomi was conducted with prayer and intention.

I had heard that Kahuna was usually performed on the naked body so you may understand my relief when, as I walked into the warm and inviting treatment room, Scott uttered the words,

“disrobe to whatever you’re comfortable with”. Th e next 90 minutes were the most relaxing I think I have ever experienced. While rolling, rubbing and squeezing out the bad stuff , it envelopes you into a sort of euphoric trance. When I arose from the massage table more than an hour and a half later, I was a little wobbly on my feet. Th at’s right, I felt so relaxed I almost felt a bit tipsy. How relaxed is that? Very, very relaxed!

So how does Kahuna measure up as a restorative, healing process? Well I slept very soundly that night, which I never do and the next day I felt full of beans, even my troublesome busted, arthritical leg was happy to greet the day. Scott calls his business ‘Body Bliss Massage’ and said before we started that he hoped I would feel ‘blissed’ aft er the treatment. I have to say I did! I recommend to prospective clients to plan to do nothing else for the day aft er you have the big Kahuna, as your mind and body just totally crank down!

Mahalo nui loa A hui hou kakou (Th ankyou very much, until we meet again).

“I shall be a believer of all that is good in people and of all that is deserving in animals. I shall plead

for their lives, campaign for their safety and uphold their right to a natural death. I shall seek out the injured and the maimed, the unloved, and the abandoned and tend to them in their last day.” (Susan M. Pearson)

Th is is the creed of Charlie’s Angels Horse Rescue and when I read Susan M. Pearson’s words I knew immediately that it perfectly encapsulated our philosophy.

I shall be a believer of all that is good in people and of all that is deserving in animals.

Th e fi rst half of that sentence can be the most challenging for anyone working in animal welfare. So oft en, what we see is the darkest parts of human behaviour: the neglect, cruelty, arrogance, and the use of animals for monetary gain without concern for their innate value or sentience. But we also see the amazing

people who rescue animals simply because they cannot turn away. Or who tend and care for an aged animal simply because they love them and it is the right thing to do—to honour an animal’s spirit and journey right to then end, just as we hope someone will one day do for us.

I shall plead for their lives, campaign for their safety and uphold their right to a natural death.

Many people still don’t realise that Australia has a booming horse meat industry. Australia slaughters horses both for human consumption and for other uses, primarily pet food. Th ere are two slaughterhouses in Australia that kill for human consumption, one at Caboolture in Queensland and one at Peterborough in South Australia. We also have 33 licensed knackeries in Australia that slaughter for other uses. Approximately a third of our horses come from ‘dogger sales’, where hundreds of horses line up in pens with numbers on their rumps and

auctioned off to the highest bidder, who is usually ‘the dogger’, who takes them to kill for pet food.

I shall seek out the injured and the maimed, the unloved, and the abandoned and tend to them in their last day.

We tend to specialise in horses that are most vulnerable and at risk of misuse and slaughter, regardless of what the market says they are ‘worth’.

We take aged horses, pregnant mares, foals, ex racehorses, injured horses, one-eyed horses and those who have been psychologically damaged by people.

We are a small but dedicated charity that hopes that just by doing what we do, we bring each horse’s unique story to the world and shine a light on a better way of respecting all forms of life.

Charlie’s Angels Horse Rescue Inc is a not for profi t organisation whose purpose is to rehabilitate abused, neglected and abandoned horses in order to improve their lives. Th e service also fi nds ‘Forever homes’ for these horses through its adoption scheme.

This month, Tanya Arnold ventures to the Sunshine Coast Dog Obedience Club to interview two

Staffi es, Jimmy and Angus, who open their hearts to share the successful story of their late brother, Jack, an Australian Obedience Superstar.

Q: Angus, as younger brother of an Australian Obedience Champion, did this impact your life in any way?

A: At one point I thought that perhaps I should strive for the same goals, but I had to be honest with myself. I didn’t fi nd it fulfi lling. Our mother, Jeanne, has never put any pressure on me to train and she understands that I am

diff erent. I love to play. All I want to do is run around with my friends and sniff out some good smells. Jeanne accepts me for who I am and she has always said that we are a pet fi rst.

Q: What do you think was the secret to Jack’s success?

A: Jack had amazing focus. In 2005, he came second in the championships at the Royal National Agricultural Show. Th at competition is extremely diffi cult as there are so many distractions. Jack was always very focussed, even with all the people, smells and animals, he still managed to pull off second place. Not only that, we’re working dogs. Usually it’s the Border Collies, German shepherds, or Golden Retrievers who win. Jack was by far the underdog. I think Jack’s approach very much refl ects the words of Mario Andretti, “Desire is the key to motivation, but it’s determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal – a commitment to excellence – that will enable you to attain the success you seek.”

Q: Jimmy, you were only recently adopted into this family, do you have any

intentions to follow in Jack’s paw prints?A: As I am still a pup, I am still

working out what it is I want to become when I grow up. My mum is so proud of Jack’s accomplishments. I hope one day to make her as proud of me as she is of him. I have started going along to classes and my teacher tells mum, that I am by far the star of the class. So far I have enjoyed the training. It is an extra bonus that I get to spend more quality time with my mum. I just love her. Mum hides toys all over our home and asks me to go and fi nd them. It is so much fun, plus I get a reward for my eff orts as well. Obedience training is something I am defi nitely keen on pursuing further. I may become a champion one day, only time will tell.

Success can mean many things to many people; social status, achievement of certain goals and

the opposite of failure. How each individual measures success is personal and rewarding. “Th e greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure” – Sven Goran Eriksson.

Over the years I have set many goals and would like to think I have achieved most of them. One that comes to mind is working with Max, the 8 year old Blue Heeler who came to live with us in 2007. He was a dog who stood out from most I had worked with over the years. He had a strong personality and a point to prove. Not only was he ‘human aggressive’ and

‘dog aggressive’, he was toy obsessed, food obsessed and very stressed.

My goal was not to fi ght with Max or force him to feel compromised in any way but in time to earn his trust and respect.

Earning trust and respect from a dog can sometimes be hard work. Especially if the dog believes it can make better decisions than you. Th e key to earning that trust and respect is not to use force, fear, bribery or commands. No matter what questions they throw at you, being prepared with calm, kind and consistent answers shows the dog you are worthy of their trust and respect.

If your dog/s had a meeting – who would you like them to elect to make the decisions?

Over time Max had many questions to ask, “what are you going to do if I growl at you, pull on the lead, bark in the car, attack one of the dogs, urinate in the house, pace the fl oors, guard the toys or chase the birds” and there was no way you could give him a brush! My desire and commitment to reach my goal would eventually lead to success and

unbeknownst to me at the time, Max became my teacher too.

Th ere were times I felt frustrated and inadequate but I had a goal to achieve and a dog to relieve of his anxiety and obsessive compulsive behaviours.

Max did eventually learn to trust and let go of his obsessions (he also curbed his aggression). He even enjoyed a snooze in the sun or in front of the fi re, he walked calmly on the lead, didn’t bark in the car or urinate in the house, loved a brush and I have fond memories of cuddles and kisses – I called them ‘love-ins’.Unfortunately in 2011 we lost Max to a heart condition. He was a member of our family and there are times when we still laugh and shed the odd tear when we talk about him. I am grateful for having Max in my life and teaching me that being successful means doing what I love.

“Is Your Fork In Tune?” The Search for Resonanceby Hayley WeatherburnHauntings or hallucinations; Psychic ability or frauds; spirituality or science? Is Your Fork in Tune? is Hayley Weatherburn’s personal exploration

through questions that science, religion and mystics have attempted to explain. In her down to earth, humorous style, she gives a framework for these phenomena, including a

background on quantum physics. The book then explains ideas such as miracle healings, mind over matter and more in detail. She fi nally illuminates the path for each one of us to create the reality we choose by tuning in to ourselves.

There is a fascinating saying, “women oft en labour in the same way that they live.”

How do you respond to challenges or crisis? Birth is a natural event that stretches us to our limits, not a problem that needs fi xing. However, many of us have been conditioned otherwise and our body’s stress response may be instinctively activated. Th is is especially true when we are fearful or feeling unsafe.

It all goes back to our beliefs. For example, no amount of encouragement during labour can help a woman who does not believe at her core that she is able to give birth normally and she does not require any drugs or anesthesia to do so.

Some women believe things happen to them and they are powerless to do anything, (not an empowering mindset for life or birthing!) while others take control.

Victims may want to be rescued: “Henry - do something!” Th e partner

oft en feels helpless, unable to take away the pain and reacts by lashing out at staff or demanding pain relief. Yet they would be far more helpful in just staying with the process, encouraging their partner to relax, welcoming each contraction and simply loving the woman throughout the entire birth.

Being fi xed is not empowering but through love and support, the woman can fi nd the inner resources to actively birth her baby herself- the greatest gift that can transform her forever.

A study by Peterson and Mehl showed we are 95% predictable creatures, displaying signs that lead to a smooth normal birth vs having complications. Warning signs included passivity, dependence, limiting beliefs, self image of weakness, relationship confl ict, carrying an unwanted child and unresolved fears.

Normal births followed being active, self reliant, ability to accept support from others, loving relationships, self image of strength, a wanted child, internal control of own life and resolved fears prior to birth.

We all run patterns in our lives; it’s just a matter of becoming conscious of them before they show up as complications. We have the power of choice!

How you respond to labour will have a large impact on how well labour progresses and the amount of pain or discomfort you feel.

Preparing for a natural birth doesn’t guarantee you will labour without medication or complications, but not preparing almost always guarantees you will.

Each woman must look inside and be as honest with herself as possible.

From that place she is able to recognise patterns, work through her fears and make conscious birth choices. So go forth and co-create your own adventure!

I used to have a very fi xed opinion about success. I knew what it looked like, how it would arrive and, once I obtained it, I

knew my life would be perfect. My plan was to become famous. I studied acting and performed on stage and screen.

Unfortunately I wasn’t particularly good at it and I didn’t like hanging out with other actors. Th ey were all completely self-absorbed. So instead I decided I would become a famous singer/songwriter. I played in bands, I toured, I wrote songs, I recorded. I was even off ered a recording contract. But bands break up and recording contracts disappear. When all was done and dusted

I didn’t have the energy or desire to keep going.

Th en along came radio. It was the perfect combination of acting and music.

Aft er years of banging my head against closed doors, all the doors swung open. It was a miracle. It was meant to be. I landed my dream job. Success at last. And here’s the thing about having a fi xed opinion of success; the goal posts shift , life is fl uid, everything changes. In other words my dream job turned out to have warts. I did discover, aft er much resistance and then acceptance, that I could still love it, warts and all, but it no longer fulfi lled my defi nition of success.

Perhaps a successful relationship would do the trick. I achieved the required standard by getting married. But, you guessed it, I found out there is no such thing as the promised happy-ever-aft er. My job might have had warts but my marriage had bunions. However once again, aft er much resistance and then acceptance, I learned to love it, bunions and all.

Years ago I started writing. A quiet pursuit, never in the spotlight, unlike my

other attempts at fame. Most people wouldn’t think I was a success because I wasn’t published. But my defi nition of success had changed by the time I took up the pen.

Finishing eight draft s of my novel and fi nally completing my meditation memoir aft er six years, these were successes to me. I sent them out into the world and they returned with kind suggestions and notes about revisions, most of which I took on board. Each small compliment was another success. I did the work and sent my manuscripts out again. A process of growth and refi nement.

And now, success. My meditation memoir will be published by Pan Macmillan next year. A cause for celebration. But I know this is not the end. Th is is just another step on the journey. A journey where every step, no matter how many warts or bunions, is a cause for celebration, is a success.

In September, relationships could be challenging for much of the month, with Saturn and Mars joined in Libra;

the sign of personal relationships and romance. Mars and Saturn are energies that make us personally strong, and are more self protective in nature. Th ey are also opposite each other. Mars rules the “fi ght response”. Saturn rules the “fl ight response”.

Essentially, we may be facing a lot of inner confl ict, with some of that leaking into our relationships with others, especially romantic partners.

We have to be careful not fi ghting with or fl eeing from them, as we look to strengthen ourselves. Also remember, they will be going through similar inner confl icts.

Th e main lunation themes (Full and New Moons) in September revolve around organising outer circumstances and relaxing into fullness beyond the details of the world.

New Moon September 15 A new cycle of Virgo begins as the

Sun and Moon come together, actually at

the very last degree of Leo. For the next 30 days there will be a strong focus on organising our environment and refi ning all the details in our world toward a deeper state of purity and precision. Now is a great time to throw out the old and embrace the new, in your living environment and routines. Mercury will be exalted in Virgo from September 13-20, bringing skill and precision to this organizing work. Th e placement of Venus and Mercury on the New Moon shows ease and cooperation in achieving these goals for the next 30 days. Th e New Moon happens in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra, which is ruled by the Sun. It has to do with offi cial business, such as marriage or legal contracts.

Full Moon September 29A deep feeling of emotional surrender

and unity will fi ll our hearts with this Full Moon in Pisces. Th is Full Moon provides contrast to the New Moon cycle that began two weeks ago, with the Virgo New Moon. Th e current 30 day cycle of material organisation and purity (Virgo) must be harmonized with a feeling of

unity and trust in metaphysical law (Pisces). We only have so much control of our external environment and situations. Eventually we have to let go and make peace with our limitations and what we can accomplish.

Th is Full moon happens in Uttara Bhadra Nakshatra, which is ruled by Saturn. It evokes deep, humanitarian service and the willingness to sacrifi ce our own happiness in order to uplift others, especially those who cannot help themselves.

All astrological placements refer to the Sidereal Zodiac, used in Vedic astrology. So they will diff er from the placements heard in traditional Western astrology.
