Valentine’s Day has become the day in the year that we most associate with ‘love’, and the celebration of our intimate and closest relationships. Unfortunately it has also become a focus for that state of sentimental love that is largely composed of a mix of desire and longing, arising from the deep need to be loved and to feel that we are lovable. Love, in this somewhat unevolved form, is the cause of much heartbreak since ultimately it will leave us feeling unfulfilled no matter how much we might hope that it will be otherwise.

Unconditional Love

Rose Collection Combination – expanding the spark of Divine Unconditional Love

This is particularly so now in the current energy flow, since this old idea of love is in direct contradiction with the truth of who we are and the new patterning for life that is being unfolded. Many are registering this change as a sense of emptiness and incompleteness in their lives as their own lack of love for themselves comes under the spotlight for change and transformation.

This is a signal that it is now time for us to overhaul our ideas of what ‘love’ is and to recognise that the most intimate relationship that we have in life is the one we have with ourselves. If we do not choose to cherish ourselves as the radiant source of our own love then we will always be searching for a ‘missing piece’ outside of ourselves and we will not be able to attract into our lives those with whom we can share our love in whole and fulfilling relationships.

Valentine’s Day 2012

So lets make Valentine’s Day 2012 an opportunity to honour the love that we are and to recognise ourselves as a radiant source of love that we can share unconditionally with all those around us. What a different world we will have when we all reflect love to each other rather than feeling we need to seek it!

My heart sits beating in my chest, full of love and thoughtfulness.
Gratitude for things abound: the sun, the moon, the sea, the sounds.
Everything that I hold dear is treasured in this space so near.

My heart connection takes me high, straight to my Soul – come see me fly.
Rising high above the pain my life’s lessons become plain.
Up here I see the picture wide, there is nowhere that I can hide.

Help is always given free if I just listen patiently.
My Spirit Friends all gather round to help me calm the emotions down.
They help me see the path ahead and hold my hand as I gently tread.

We received this email, as did many others, from Masaru Emoto ( whose wonderful work with water crystals is detailed in his book The Hidden Messages in Water and felt that we would really like to share it with as many of you as possible. While the date of the ‘ceremony’ is the 31st March, we feel that there would be a real value in doing this on an ongoing basis also.

To All People Around the World

Please send your prayers of love and gratitude to water at the nuclear plants in Fukushima, Japan!
By the massive earthquakes of Magnitude 9 and surreal massive tsunamis, more than 10,000 people are still missing…even now… It has been 16 days already since the disaster happened. What makes it worse is that water at the reactors of Fukushima Nuclear Plants started to leak, and it’s contaminating the ocean, air and water molecule of surrounding areas.

Human wisdom has not been able to do much to solve the problem, but we are only trying to cool down the anger of radioactive materials in the reactors by discharging water to them.

Is there really nothing else to do?

I think there is. During over twenty year research of hado measuring and water crystal photographic technology, I have been witnessing that water can turn positive when it receives pure vibration of human prayer no matter how far away it is.

Energy formula of Albert Einstein, E=MC2 really means that Energy = number of people and the square of people’s consciousness.

Now is the time to understand the true meaning. Let us all join the prayer ceremony as fellow citizens of the planet earth. I would like to ask all people, not just in Japan, but all around the world to please help us to find a way out the crisis of this planet!!
The prayer procedure is as follows.

Name of ceremony:
“Let’s send our thoughts of love and gratitude to all water in the nuclear plants in Fukushima”

Day and Time:
March 31st, 2011 (Thursday)
12:00 noon in each time zone

Please say the following phrase:
“The water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant, we are sorry to make you suffer. Please forgive us. We thank you, and we love you.”

Please say it aloud or in your mind. Repeat it three times as you put your hands together in a prayer position.

Please offer your sincere prayer.

Thank you very much from my heart.

With love and gratitude,
Masaru Emoto
Messenger of Water

If you could have pure unconditional love, you know, the kind of love that no matter what you do or did you would always be forgiven? Respected? Cherished? You would never stop being loved and that only the very best was ever seen in you? You could have everything you wished for and deserved in abundance? And all of that is right by your side, and always has been, waiting for you to ask for the help? Would you know what that would be? Let me tell you. It is………….. Angels!

Say what?? Say Angels…….. Pure beings of light straight from the heart of god. They are of pure unconditional love and hold us in the same light. They act as messengers from God(source) to us and vice versa. They absolutely love each and every one of us completely as we are and see us through the eyes of pure, pure love. We all have guardian angels, some only have one, some have more. However many you have, you can be sure that they are your companions, guiding you and giving you comfort and protection throughout your lifetime. So, how do Angels do this? Why do they? How can I find out about my angel? Do I talk to them? Are just a few of the questions I hear you ask, well maybe the following will help you to understand them.

As already mentioned angels are pure beings of light. They would never do anything to harm us and work from the heart centre and only of love and light. They love us so very much they want us to live our life free from pain and suffering. They want us to live in peace, harmony, happiness and have abundance of every kind, which in fact is our birthright. It is a human trait called the ‘ego’ that causes all our problems. Angels support us on our life’s journey so we can be free. When we are born we are all given a Guardian Angel. Our angel stays with us throughout our life supporting us and guiding us through the good as well as bad. Angels will appear to us in many different ways, some people may see their angel as a light – orb or sparkles, a colour, as a golden being with wings, smell a wonderful perfume or have an angelic stream of consciousness in their mind. Some may hear their angels whisper to them or just have a sense or warmth, peace and love. You can be sure, though, that your angel will communicate with you, in a way that you will understand. Everybody is different, after all your relationship with your guardian angel is unique to you and you may even know their name!. We have to ask our angels for help as we have free will, angels don’t. Their will is God’s will. Angels are androgynous and beyond sexuality so we will see angels as either a male or a female differently. I see Archangel Gabriel, for example, as a male, but my friend senses this angel as female. We are both right. Sometimes we understand the angels as either male or female because of the qualities certain angels have, for instance, we nearly all see Archangel Michael as male because his qualities are more of the male type – strength, courage, a warrior! It doesn’t really matter what gender we sense them as. Their loving energies are the same, whatever.

Angels usually communicate with us when our mind is still, our hearts are open to love and our emotions settled. This for most of us is during meditation or mainly during our sleep. We can ask our angels for anything and everything we want so long as it is for the highest good and is with the best of loving intentions. We can ask for healing of ourselves and others. We can ask for guidance and direction and solutions with any problems, protection, to ease our fears and worries, to lighten up our life and smooth our pathway. Help with relationships, careers, prosperity, absolutely anything as long as it doesn’t bring harm to others, you will get the help. Angels can give the answers or point you in the right direction usually by synchronicities!! Often you will be drawn to a person who could be of help, you may turn on the TV or radio and something you hear or see will just ‘click’ with you, the ‘penny may drop’ so to speak. The same with overhearing a conversation or reading a book, magazine or article and finding the answer by coincidence, or maybe you just have a thought pop into your head. Please don’t dismiss anything as your imagination, so many people miss their help by doing so. You are not imagining things, it is your angels trying to communicate with you. Having said all of that, you may just sense (clairsentience) know (claircognizance) see (clairvoyant) or hear (clairaudience) the answer straight away! You can always ask your angels to send you signs of confirmation. People often mention feathers, coins, crystals or even hearing certain songs like Robbie Williams’ Angels. Seeing such signs or symbols are ways that your angels use to let you that know they are with you.

Your angels are with you right now. Ask them to draw close to you and talk to them as you would a very close friend. They are your confidante. They will empower you to change any negative to positive, dis-harmony to harmony, dis-ease to ease, weakness to strength and turn the light on your darkness. They never, ever leave you or stop loving you. They see you shining your inner light and want to help you live at your fullest potential. Open your heart and arms to your angels, their love, comfort and healing is immeasurable.

As we experience what is going on inside of ourselves and observe what is currently happening to everyone around us it is very clear to us that the pace of change is continuing to gather momentum. It is now very noticeable that as greater and greater quantities of light and high frequency energies flood onto our planet we are all beginning to experience the results of this infusion of higher energy in a way that impacts our everyday lives. While this is an immensely positive process for human evolution it is also quite challenging at a human personality level, especially for those who currently have little or no awareness of themselves as more than their personality and physical body.

We find that it can be very helpful to recognise that our well tried and tested ways of understanding our world are rapidly becoming obsolete in the fast moving changes that we are now experiencing. Our ‘normal’ point of reference for understanding what is happening to us in life has primarily been the information provided by the data bank of our left-brain analytical mind, a storehouse based on memories from the past. If we continue to try to understand the changes we are going through solely from this perspective we will quickly find ourselves in a fog of confusion and fear because this part of ourselves simply has no reference point to understand the process we are going through. The understandings that we need are to be found in the greater perspective available to us through our awakening hearts. The more that we can transfer our attention away from the mind into the heart the easier we will find it to make the changes required of us. However, for many of us the route into the heart is still blocked by old pain, misunderstanding and lack of forgiveness and it is easy to find ourselves locked into the less expansive world of the unchallenged mind.

For all of us at this time it is important that we give ourselves the opportunity to spend time each day in communion with our own heart, becoming better acquainted with the vibration of love to be found within its unfolding depths. Here we will find the greater awareness and new perspectives needed to face the opportunities and challenges facing us in our changing world. These new perspectives will not necessarily be understood by the everyday mind and we must learn to get comfortable with this recognition and continue to empower our hearts to guide us into a new understanding of ourselves and our world.

We thought that we would like to share this wonderfully witty poem from Ogden Nash with you as a reminder to honour the gift of your own unique gifts and talents.

So That’s Who I Remind Me Of
by Ogden Nash

When I consider men of golden talents,
I’m delighted, in my introverted way,
To discover, as I’m drawing up the balance,
How much we have in common, I and they.

Like Burns, I have a weakness for the bottle,
Like Shakespeare, little Latin and less Greek;
I bite my fingernails like Aristotle;
Like Thackeray, I have a snobbish streak.

I’m afflicted with the vanity of Byron,
I’ve inherited the spitefulness of Pope;
Like Petrarch, I’m a sucker for a siren,
Like Milton, I’ve a tendency to mope.

My spelling is suggestive of a Chaucer;
Like Johnson, well, I do not want to die
(I also drink my coffee from the saucer);
And if Goldsmith was a parrot, so am I.

Like Villon, I have debits by the carload,
Like Swinburne, I’m afraid I need a nurse;
By my dicing is Christopher out-Marlowed,
And I dream as much as Coleridge, only worse.

In comparison with men of golden talents,
I am all a man of talent ought to be;
I resemble every genius in his vice, however heinous-
Yet I write so much like me.

The Flower of Life

The Flower of Life is an ancient symbol that has a profound significance for all who wish to understand the deeper meaning of life. Within its structure are the component parts of all organic life together with the clear reminder of the unity and sacredness of life. This symbol has been found around the world at the sacred sites of many cultures and religions both ancient and modern, yet information about it’s real meaning has been lost to the common man for a long time. The modern day mystic and spiritual teacher Drunvalo Melchizedek has now changed all that and offers those with a mind to discover more, the fruits of his many years of research into the Flower of Life symbol through his books and workshops. You can find out more about The Flower of Life and Drunvalo’s work from his website: http://www.floweroflife.org/teachings.htm.

Here is a short quote to wet your appetite!

“The Flower of Life is a universal template with many lenses. When placed over the face of a common or ordinary circle or sphere, the Flower of Life maps a window into the unity of infinity and turns the ordinary into a revelation of the extraordinary. Looking into the window of the Flower of Life challenges us to unify our mind, heart, and spirit. When we can truly see all life woven so intimately, we strengthen the embrace of the divine in our lives and we can transform our world through the vision of universal unity”.
Drunvalo Melchizedek.

Metatron’s Cube

Illustration by courtesy of www.floweroflife.org

Metatron’s Cube is built upon a template derived from the Flower of Life symbol as shown above and contains all five Platonic Solids; Cube, Tetrahedron, Octahedron, Icosahedron & Dodecahedron. These five shapes are the building blocks life and as such can be found in minerals & organic life of all kinds as well as sound, music, language, sacred art and architecture.

Archangel Metatron is considered in esoteric literature to be the Voice of God and is depicted in ancient texts with the image of the cube that bears his name emblazoned on his chest or floating around him.

It is a powerful symbol that can bring order, balance and unity to body, mind & spirit. Try printing out a copy and using it as a focus for meditation or put it under your pillow at night.

12 12 and the Solstice, December 08

There is no doubt that we live in exciting and tumultuous times. As 2008 draws to a close and we review the events that have taken place since the beginning of the year there can be no doubt in anyone’s mind that we have entered a period of change, the like of which none of us has witnessed before. How each of us view these changes will be based on our individual perceptions of reality and also the information that we have at our disposal. As with any situation in life our choice of perception determines the quality of our experiences as well as affecting the outcome of the situation itself.

The current situation unfolding in our world is certainly no different, so it is vitally important that we choose to look beyond the drama and to acknowledge the greater picture of what is happening. That greater picture is truly magnificent when viewed from the perspective of our soul rather than simply that of our personality. From the perspective of the soul we have arrived at a point that was only a possible destination when many of us incarnated into our current lifetimes, a place from which we can now collectively manifest a new world of light and love right here on Planet Earth. From a wider perspective still this opportunity is occurring as part of the massive expansion of consciousness that is taking place in the whole of our Universe as everything responds to the impulses from Source that signal the end of one cycle and the beginning of another.

Viewed from this perspective it is easier to see that everything that is taking place right now is happening according to an orchestrated plan, a plan that comes from the Divine Mind rather than the human mind. This Plan involves a complete restructuring of the foundations upon which we have based our collective and individual realities, a move away from 3D polarity consciousness into 5D Unity Consciousness. We have now reached a point where a sufficient number of people on Earth are able to hold this new focus strongly enough for it to begin to take precedence over the old. This enormous shift in consciousness means that everything based on the old reality simply has no foundation anymore and as we have seen, begins to break down and fall apart. Rather than this being something to fear it is actually something to celebrate. Of course this does not mean that the process we are going through is necessarily easy or without its challenges and difficulties, however it is essential that we choose not to get pulled into fear.

December this year will bring us yet more profound opportunities for change. Firstly we have the powerful 12 12 Gateway which opens each year on the 12th December offering us the opportunity to receive an outflow of Unconditional Divine Love from our Cosmic Parents. If we are open to receive this magnificent gift of love it will encourage us to anchor a new level of unity between the masculine and feminine aspects of ourselves taking us deeper into Unity Consciousness. This year the December full moon falls on the 12th and will magnify this energy, illuminating any aspects of ourselves that need a greater focus of love to come into alignment.

During the nine days that follow the 12 12 we will receive a huge amount of help and support from our brothers and sisters in the Realms of Light to anchor this new level of unity so that we can take full advantage of the opportunities presented by the energies of the Solstice on December 21st. At this time there will be a great expansion of Light within our Universe that will open a doorway for each of us on Earth that is ready to move into a higher level of consciousness to do so.

If you want to find out more about what is really going on you can listen to some very powerful and enlightening channelled information about both these dates and what is to come beyond, on Michelle Eloff’s site:- www.thelightweaver.org. Through Michelle, Mary Magdalene offers us a beautiful message about the 12 12 Universal Solstice while Kuthumi offers some powerful information about how to use the opportunities of the 21 12 Second Ascension Wave. This channelling from Kuthumi is so important that Michelle has made it available to us all FREE. Enjoy!
