Pauline’s 200 Year Sans (without) Bucket List To start a worldwide Movement “No Sex until there is No War.” The movement would initially

call on empowered Western women living in democracies where human rights are a clear given

and there are no reprisals for refusing sex to husbands, lovers, etc.

My dream is that when enough women from democracies are “on side” women from countries like Syria will join us and will not have to watch their disenfranchised and disillusioned sons joining armies and terrorist groups killing and being killed in pointless bloody wars. Of course, with no sex, automatically there are no babies to grow up and be killed in wars. The power of women to affect the course of humanity is Right There in in this simple denial of sex. No babies would have every Government worldwide terrified. No next generation to fill the coffers of parliament and keep the wheels turning and the money coming in and maintain the armies. Women absolutely hold the Power To Prevent War. Most problems, including, but not limited to famine and starvation is caused by the endless wars – the results of peoples Death Urge thoughts. Imagine what would happen if people like Angelica Jollie, Jennifer Anderson, Susan Sarandon (who has an impressive track record for protesting wars) and other famous Indian and Iranian actresses “got on board.” People with War in their Minds and Hearts could not stop the momentum from becoming an avalanche that would stop war forever. Naturally I would rather choose the option of men and women co-operating in a peaceful World – and how’s that working for us so far!!!!! By the way, this idea has already been tested very successfully in Italy against revenge killings (men from one family kill the sons and husbands of another family in revenge endlessly). Congrats to these women who courageously stood up against violence.

I’d love to go into outer space – maybe to Mars when it’s colonised by the privately funded Mars Mission or to the moon which will definitely be colonised in the not too distant future. I’d like to be able to return to Earth so I am hoping they will “iron out the wrinkles of gravity, etc..”

To create a thriving, functional and eventually a fabulous Physical Immortality Centre in Australia. We are almost there – a bit more building and it’s complete. To host Physical Immortality Conferences at this Centre drawing together the World experts on the subject. Science will eventually discover how to live forever, but without Leonard’s’ info on the Death

Urge, this science and knowledge will only create more mess and even bigger wars. Getting out the word on “how to” resolve the death urge gives us all a chance of a beautiful life.

To host Leonard to open the Physical Immortality Centre in 2014 and to facilitate a Training in Physical Immortality.

To wake up in a world that performs Aarti to Babaji, or other deities, at sunrise and sunset. To live in a world that plays music that does not contain words indicating suffering, longing, unrequited love and death. Happy music please – no more “walking the line” music please.

To perform agni hotra daily until The Physical Immortality Centre is as purified as Lee and Fritz Rigmas’ land. P.S. Once established, we would welcome people who wish to do this duty of purification to join us here.

To become a disciple of Milerupa – The Flying Saint of Tibet. It’s clearly stated in Tibetan Texts that He could fly and that he taught his disciples to do the same. I am very keen to learn how to fly like a bird. We have 100’s of birds here on our land and they glide on the hot thermals effortlessly. I’d love to do that.

To be a Breatharian. No food or drink. (eventually) I have gone twice without food or

drink for 7 days, but it was too intense at that time. Perhaps it’s only because I am not

very keen on cooking and preparing food. Breatharianism would save so much time –

imagine no cooking, no dishes, no shopping for food, etc., etc.

To Master living outdoors in nature without shelter or possessions so I can be what Jesus said – You shall be “like the wind- so no man shall know from whence you came and to where you go.”

To master dematerialising and rematerialising

To tap into the 80% of my brain that science says we do not use.

To master sleep – no sleep – like The Immortals.

To live in a world that has adopted Bhutans’ Gross National Happiness attitude.

To practice Shivumbu Kalpa (Urine Therapy) for at least 40 – 60 days in the Armstrong

method. i.e. no food – only small sips of water- drink every drop. I have practiced this

once for 6 weeks. Amazing results.

To practice within the next 2 years the youthing technique used by Shri Tapas Viji

Maharaja which youthed his body back to a very young 20 years – he was at the time 100

years old and quite ill. He lived to 186 years.

To create a gentle birthing centre based on resolving birth trauma with Earth, Air, Water,

Fire and Mind techniques before or during pregnancy.

Last but not least, to achieve immortality, not through great deeds or great work, rather

through not dying and “hang out” with Babaji in the flesh. Naturally I would like to hang

with Babaji’s new body.

I PLAN TO LIVE FOREVER – SO FAR SO GOOD

Pauline Win

It’s Elemental acknowledges the influence of Shri Babaji on Rebirthing/Breathwork. When He first appeared, He spoke very rarely. Gradually He began to give seminars – talks which the devotees recorded in a small book “Teachings of Babaji.”

From Teachings of Babaji; 3 April 1980 Babaji spoke generally of unity. We are all equal, despite the country we come from, and national differences should be ignored. We are all a unity. We must shed all jealousy and envy because they are harmful. We are all one with each other and with God. (A storm was raging while Babaji spoke, and He referred to it while He spoke.) In order not to provoke Me, you must be quiet at the time of catastrophe. You must concentrate on Om Namah Shivai. With this mantra you can win everything, because it is stronger than all the bombs. Babaji mentioned the freedom spoken of and promised by politicians. Then He said, in effect; “Theirs is no freedom at all. If you work and are worthy, I will show you a great freedom – more than you have dreamed about.”

From Teachings of Babaji and Babaji The Unfathomable Mahendra Maharaja told his followers that Shri Babaji has been a human manifestation of God since man first learned about religion. Babaji has taught gurus and other religious teachers throughout history, always trying to turn man towards God and spiritual values. Through the ages he has 'appeared' to Teach people, manifesting a body for each appearance, rather than coming by human birth. Yogananda wrote of his and other people's experiences with this immortal Babaji in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Each morning, around 4.30 a.m., Babaji performed a Fire ritual which is more ancient than the Vedas. The Fire ceremony is also referred to as "havan" or "yagna". As the offerings are made - rice, fruits, incense - the participants, who surrender their lower nature to the fire, recite certain mantras. Fire consumes everything and its transforming power leads to a rebirth on a higher level.

From Encounters with Babaji, Renata Caddy ‘ Babaji cam riding through the valley and, apart from a small belly, he was slim. He had come from Bombay where he had apparently gathered with some very good devotees. Having arrived up in the ashram, and after spending two hours with the many new Westerners, he had become round and heavy. Incredible! All of us who came to him brought our own issues and problems with us, which were an expression of the issues and problems of the world. Babaji absorbed all of this, bore these burdens and transformed them all within his body.’

What is Mundun? Mundun is the Sanskrit word for the ritual shaving the hair from the head. When mundun is taken with the right attitude of the mind and life style, the ritual has many powerful benefits. Shri Babaji often instructed the pioneer of rebirthing to take mundun. He said "Mundun" will cure all diseases. When I went to my rebirth training in 2006 with Sondra Ray, I was instructed by Babaji during one of my rebirth sessions to take Mundun, at that time I had no idea what that even meant! I mentioned it to Sondra, and she informed me that it looked like I was off to India to have Mundun. I thought to myself at the time "no bloody way" even to go to India...was not a thought at the time, though it sounded exciting, I was shit scared to fly!!! LOL!!! Well 2007 was when I was off to India with a group of wonderful people to Shri Babaji's Ashram, in which Mundun was on the list of my experiences while there. I had mixed emotions of should I shouldn’t I etc. The day arrived and I knelt down in front of Babaji's personal barber. They chanted Om Namah Shivaya ~ as he started to slide the razor across my scalp. My hair fell in front of me onto a banana leaf. I felt over whelming emotion rise within me, I started to cry and release, I didn't know what I was releasing or crying for. I could not contain the feelings that I was feeling as my hair fell before me, I felt an intense feeling of warmth rush through me, it felt like my head was being split in two, as I closed my eyes I saw an intense light in my third eye get brighter and brighter. I felt safe, nurtured and loved. I felt that I was about to experience something that was beyond my mind, there were no words to describe the feelings rushing through my mind & body. Only that I was about to go through what felt like the fire of purification. And this was just the beginning! From that moment on I had to keep my head shaved for 9 months gestation if I want to experience the full benefits of mundun, so I accepted the unknown! Over time the mundun unlocked all my suppressed symptoms of childhood diseases, it resolved conception, gestation and birth trauma when combined with my rebirthing and breathwork techniques. It was a real challenge for me being a woman, but worth every step!. I went through melanoma cancer, symptoms of MS, Dizzy spells, Depression, Chronic body pain etc., curing and healing it all naturally with the power of the breath and spiritual purification .... Earth, Air, Fire, Water..... I realized that my hair holds all historical documents of my life/lives. Everytime I shaved my head, I felt cleansed, healed and renewed. It took me deeper into myself opening up my intuition and psychic abilities even more, with deeper insights of purification state of being and more power to heal!. If one wants to get rid of the negative aspects of your life get rid of your hair at least once in your lifetime, I also found it to be a great youthing and rejuvenating technique. :D (and since then have done it a few more times)

Rebirth Practitioner Trainer

Fire Walk Instructor

There is a vulnerable not-knowing that is present when starting anything new. Whether you are starting a new business, new project or new direction. I’ve certainly felt this with the launch of my new website recently. There’s a feeling of walking blindly as I take one step after the other. I once went on a walk to the top of Bartle Frere, the highest mountain in Queensland (although really not so very high). The walk goes up through lush and green rainforest, up into a cloud forest and to the top of the mountain. It was magical up there, with the mist and the rocks and the views glimpsed as the mist parted. It was so beautiful that I found it hard to leave and ended up only part of the way down the mountain as the sun set. Stuck on the mountain This lush rainforest also includes poisonous stinging plants, plus an assortment of biting things such as snakes and spiders and scorpions. I was in unfamiliar territory – I didn’t know the land and its creatures very well at all. As the light started to fade, I started rushing, running almost, down the mountain, trying to get to the car-park before it was completely dark. I soon realised that this wasn’t going to work. For one, it was dangerous and if I injured myself, I’d be there at least overnight and maybe longer. And if I stepped on a snake, well, that might have been it. So I let go and slowed right down. By this time it was dark in the forest, with no moonlight. I had to move in a different way. Gone was the rush to get down the mountain. Instead, I started to listen more, and started to feel my way down the mountain. I had to stop every now and then and just breathe, in order to calm my fear before taking another step and then another. The lights along the way Then a miraculous thing happened. I started to notice tiny lights as I walked. The fireflies had come out for the night. At first I just noticed their presence, but then as I walked on I started to notice that the lights seemed to be always just that little way in front of me. I thought I was imagining it, but as I walked I saw that it was really happening – the fireflies were lighting my way down the mountain! Now, I don’t know if there is a practical explanation for this, whether there was something about the clearing of the path and the types of plants there or what. What I do know though, is that I was filled with a sense of wonder and great relief as I walked the rest of the way down. I just knew that I was going to be OK. I felt humbled and grateful and yes, very tired as I walked into the car-park at around midnight. Your vulnerability can be your greatest ally In our day to day lives, we often try to push through, trying to control what happens and to be in charge. And yet it is only when we acknowledge our vulnerability that we can soften and open to the mystery and our guidance and signs to reveal the way. It is your vulnerability and non- knowing that can be your greatest allies. They can lead you to recognise moments of opportunity or new possibilities. Without the vulnerability of my situation in the forest, I might have missed the wonder of the fireflies and the realisation deep down that I was OK. It helped me develop trust. The secret to receiving now We tend to experience this vulnerability and openness at moments of crisis, when we have no other options available to us. Yet, it is our natural state as human beings; we are dependent for every breath. The secret is to acknowledge this vulnerability and our not-knowing now and not wait for a crisis. When we acknowledge our vulnerability and our not-knowing in each moment, we allow for the new to emerge.

Lure

Message from a Mortal World

How do you listen for and receive guidance and recognise signs? So, take a moment now.

Stop, and listen to your heart

It starts with simply acknowledging that you don’t know what the future holds. Feel the not knowing and allow the space; it is such a beautiful state. It’s only from the unknowing that the knowing can emerge.

Now consider one question you have about your business. Bring it to your heart, softly, and ask to be shown. Listen for the answer and acknowledge what comes, even if you don’t understand it. It may be just a sensation or a feeling. If you’re not sure what the answer means, ask to be shown more. Write down what comes.

Example: I first felt a kind of tightness around my heart. Then I noticed some warmth and then the constriction started melting a little. As I asked for more, I sensed a kind of lightening. I’m not sure what that is but it feels good. I’ll keep exploring this and asking to receive more of this and to understand it more. It is your vulnerability and not-knowing that can be the doorway to your guidance and your wisdom. Once we let go of the effort and trying to make it happen, we allow the next step to be revealed. As you move through your days, stay open for signs. What do you notice? Remember to breathe, to soften and to ask. You may be surprised by what comes.

Between Heaven and Earth I am so happy and excited about the Breathe Australia Conference of 2014 as I am the lucky one who has the opportunity to gather wonderful speakers for our annual get together. The theme of the conference is Between Heaven and Earth where we will be exploring the relationship of mankind with the Earth and the Heavens. I have always been fascinated by the role of the human beings on the Earth and always felt intuitively that we were the link between the Heavens and the Earth, like antennas. When one starts exploring it is fascinating how many cultures and healing principles are based on this. In TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine) there is a point in the acupressure system called heaven and earth. It corresponds to the energy of the liver, which is where the energy of the earth that enters through the sole of our feet and the energy of the heaven, which enters through the top of our head, meet. It is also where the energy of the kidney and the energy of the heart meet. In TCM, kidney corresponds to the fear type of emotions and the heart is the love type of emotions. So this heaven and earth point in our body is really the point of balance for us. I also love the fact that in French liver and faith is the same word! For Breathe Australia Conference 2014, I thought it would be great for us to explore our relationship with both as they are both equally part of our health and our ability to live creatively. To explore our relationship with the Earth, who better that a traditional indigenous healer that can impart to us the connection between man and the land. Frank Ansell will offer the wisdom teachings from aboriginal dreamtime and culture to support us, to open to altjerre or spirit. This is the spirit of the land. http://www.frankansell.com To deepen our relationship with the heavens, Elaine Croker, an amazing medical intuitive, will explain our relationship between the heavens and the cells of our body and how we can talk to our cells for deep healing. This allows you, very simply to return to your pure essence of Love, Joy, Grace, Peace and Wisdom. The cells hold the wisdom of our Human Spirit. http://www.primetuning.com To understand how mankind can heal themselves, we have the breath. It is the best way to clear and cleanse ourselves from unwanted beliefs, past trauma and “broken” bodies. To deepen, extend and share our knowledge we have our community, which represents the different schools of breathwork, and we will have Leonard Orr, the father of all movement and trends, coming from the US. http://rebirthingbreathwork.com/ We are welcoming and encouraging anyone who wishes to speak and present at the conference about their Breathwork, their experiences. We are also encouraging anyone that hasn’t had the chance to meet Leonard to come and enjoy his energy, his stories and his knowledge.

The Conference is design so we can be nurtured, extended in our knowledge; so we can share our opinions, there will be room for forums and so we can network and get to enjoy each other a little more. We all share the same passion and diversity is a plus! There will also be room for private healing sessions with Elaine, Frank, Leonard and anyone within the community. The conference will be held in Bowral in southern NSW, about one hour from Sydney. The venue, Hartzer Park, an ancient convent has beautiful land and accommodation. (http://hartzerpark.org.au). Veronica Pasfield is organising a shuttle for the interstate people and can be contacted at veronicapasfield@nunkeri.com.au The date is from Thursday November 6 from 3pm to Sunday November 9 to 2pm. Just before the “silly season” and on time to invigorate and reaffirm our willingness to raise our vibration for the coming year. For early birds, costs and registration form, please go to http://www.breatheaustraliaconference.com.au Or contact me on 0413 267 268 or ghislaine@aswithinsowithout.com.au I look forward to hear from you.

Pleasure Tolerance By Jim Leonard (©1997) Pleasure tolerance is a topic that needs to be addressed by all personal growth methodologies. Pleasure tolerance means being able to accept life as pleasurable only up to some limit. It means not allowing your life to get too good. If life becomes pleasurable beyond that limit, subconscious mechanisms are activated that bring the level of pleasure back down to the acceptable level. Everyone has a pleasure tolerance. Some people can tolerate more pleasure than others. I know people who have a very low tolerance to pleasure. They constantly make negative statements about themselves and their lives. They don’t laugh at jokes and they almost never do anything for fun. If I compliment them on something, they don’t accept the compliment. I know other people who have a very high tolerance to pleasure. They love their work. They always have plenty of money. They naturally take good care of their health. And they laugh and initiate fun wherever they go. The difference between people who enjoy their lives a lot and those who enjoy their lives only a little is not luck, education, or genes. The difference is their level of pleasure tolerance. Inability to tolerate pleasure comes from many different sources. One source is the expectations you formed as a child about how pleasurable life would be as an adult. If the adults in your childhood environment didn’t appear to enjoy life very much, then you formed an expectation that life wouldn’t be very enjoyable. Unless you grew up with only blissed-out saints around you, then you have this source of pleasure tolerance. Some people have this kind of negative conditioning to an extreme degree and feel that if they enjoyed life they would be disloyal to their family tradition. Some religions reduce a person’s tolerance to pleasure by teaching people that they are not worthy of God’s love or by giving them other negative messages. Obviously if you were taught to believe that pleasure is sinful, or that someone else suffers because of your pleasure, then you will not be very tolerant of pleasure. In the extreme form, negative conditioning from religion can make people intolerant of other people’s pleasure, too. Another common source of a low tolerance to pleasure is shame. Shame is your negative thoughts, feelings, and contexts about yourself. Shame means thinking that you would be better if only you were different. Shame leads you to think that you don’t deserve pleasure. These are the most important sources of pleasure tolerance, but there are many others, for example being cynical about love, having a drug addiction, or spending too much time with negative people. It’s essential to realize that you do have a pleasure tolerance, and you do limit the amount of good that you can accept in your life, whether or not you have any of these specific conditions. The only way you can make a significant improvement in your life is by directly challenging your pleasure tolerance.

To keep on living we need to increase

our ability to feel pleasure forever!

Anything you do that improves your life will activate your pleasure tolerance. For example, you might take a seminar that teaches you how to increase your income. Even if it’s a really good seminar and you learn well, you won’t be able to make much difference in your life if you can’t increase the amount of pleasure that you can tolerate. Otherwise you will either sabotage your efforts or become a miser who can’t enjoy having money. Another example is that you might work hard to lose weight, and then when people start to give you more sexual attention than you can accept, you might put the fat right back on. This is very common and yet it might surprise you. There countless other examples. The main point is that if your life starts to become more pleasurable than you can tolerate, you will do something to sabotage your success and return to the more acceptable level of struggle and misery. In order to get the most benefit from any program of personal development, you need to directly challenge your pleasure tolerance. Do this by intentionally putting yourself in situations that will give you pleasure, and then taking in the pleasure as consciously as you can. If you are like a lot of people, you don’t think of taking pleasure as something you do for personal growth. Often people think that for something to be good for them it needs to be unpleasant, sort of like medicine that’s good for you must taste awful and candy which tastes good must be unhealthy. Some people even like to take personal growth seminars from people who are rude to them. They think they get more benefit from someone who tells them what’s wrong with them. This approach is both motivated by shame and increases shame. Personal growth methodologies need to be pleasant in order to give much benefit. If you think you need something unpleasant in order to become a better person, obviously you think that because of your shame. Engaging in unpleasant activities for the purpose of personal growth also reinforces shame. While you are doing the unpleasant activity, some part of your mind is inevitably going to ask you, “Why are you doing this instead of going to a movie, or partying, or playing baseball?” When the answer comes, “I have to do this unpleasant thing just to become an OK person,” your shame ratchets up a notch! Something I like about Vivation is that it’s physically pleasurable. The enhanced energy from the breathing is, itself, pleasurable. In Vivation you bring your attention fully into the present moment, which is where all pleasure exists. You produce the result by focusing on the strongest feeling in your body and enjoying that feeling as much as you can. (There’s a lot more to Vivation than just this, but it’s not the purpose of this article to teach you how to Vive.) If your mind ever asks you why you’re doing Vivation, the answer is obvious: “Because it feels good!” Your receptivity to pleasure is the extreme opposite of your negativity. Your negativity causes you to find fault with things. The more you are able to enjoy experiences unconditionally, the less negative you are. Anything that gives you pleasure will support you in challenging your pleasure tolerance, provided that you focus on taking in the pleasure very consciously. (That is not what people do when they have an addiction or compulsion.) Contrary to what you may have been taught elsewhere, PLEASURE IS GOOD FOR YOU! Vivation itself directly challenges your pleasure tolerance by giving you concentrated practice at enjoying each moment of your life. Once you learn Vivation you can also do it while engaging simultaneously in any other activity. The personal growth method I am about to share with you will work much more powerfully for you if you know how to Vive. However, even if you don’t know how to Vive, it will still produce an overall improvement in your life by challenging your pleasure tolerance. HOW TO CHALLENGE YOUR PLEASURE TOLERANCE 1. Make a list of things that give you pleasure. 2. From the list, choose the thing that gives you the most pleasure of all. 3. Make a list of things you could do in order to have a vivid experience of that pleasure. 4. From that list choose the things you are willing to do as part of this exercise. 5. Make a list of ways you could make that experience even more pleasurable. 6. You now have a plan. Put that plan into action. 7. Take in the pleasure very consciously. Explore and savor the pleasurable feelings. Try to milk the experience for every drop of pleasure you can get from it. The rest of the exercise is absolutely essential. Do these things during your anticipation of the pleasure (which is itself pleasurable) and during the pleasurable experience itself. 8. Allow yourself to experience any negative emotions that might be activated by the pleasure. For example, you might experience frustration over not getting even more pleasure. You might feel fear of negative consequences from having such a pleasurable experience. You might feel guilty because you think you shouldn’t allow yourself so much pleasure. You might feel angry at people who don’t cooperate in your efforts to experience pleasure. You might feel sad that the pleasure is limited by time. Or you might feel something else entirely.

9. Feel the emotion in your body in as much detail as possible. Do your best to accept the feeling and embrace it. If you are skillful with Vivation, the emotion will actually contribute to your enjoyment of the pleasure. This simple, pleasurable exercise will give you more personal growth value than writing a thousand repetitions of an affirmation or running a marathon or doing almost anything else that people attempt for the purpose of personal growth. And it will greatly accelerate the results you get from every other personal growth method. Jim Leonard was the originator of the Vivation process. During his life he conducted more than 45,000 Vivation sessions in 22 countries.

Disappearing Lizards? Fire is the element that is least easy for me.

Like most people I have always had some love for fire but when I first read about fire

purification in ‘Rebirthing in the New Age’ 20+ years ago, I thought the idea so ludicrous I laughed

out loud, luckily my husband had less resistance and began experimenting with sitting in front of a

fire.

After seeing some of the benefits John was receiving I decided to give it a go, at first I found it

quite difficult to stay conscious, I would continually fall asleep, then I noticed that it was a great

place to go if I was feeling angry, it didn’t seem to matter how angry I was, sitting in front of a

fire would transform my anger, I would end up feeling mellow.

I practised fire purification for a few years and then for one reason or another gave it away until

attending a Leonard Orr retreat in late 2009

Leonard was the first person I have met during my adult life I wanted to be like, energetically

that is. I found his energy field astounding, he could be in his room 100 metres away and I could

still feel his energy present and working with the group, at times it felt stronger when he wasn’t

physically present than when he was!

It seems to me that because Leonard spends so much time doing elemental purification it makes

the elements more easily felt when I am near him.

At the first retreat I attended with him in 2009 weird stuff started happening to me. I was

sitting by the fire during fast day, a small lizard walked up to me, skink like ,not the normal silvery

colour I am used to but red, it looked at me and then disappeared before my eyes.

The next morning my phone gave me the message, ‘please exit silence mode’ I thought this is odd

my phone has never given me this message before (or since), I went for breakfast, I thought the

silence period was due to end after breakfast but people were already talking, this annoyed me a

little, I like being around a group of people together with no one using eye contact or talking, again

my phone sent me a message – ‘please exit silence mode’, I finally got it and broke my silence.

Leonard suggested that Babaji was playing with me; I don’t have any other explanation.

At the next retreat I attended at Mt Tamborine in 2011, I was sitting by a fire and it clearly

spoke to me out loud saying ‘I am your friend’

I look forward to some more weird stuff happening when Leonard visits Australia again next year.
