Trust in Nature
Mood: brightTopic: Musings A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further. So to help the butterfly, he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of it's life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly. What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If we were to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!

Being Alone
Mood:  happyTopic: Musings Being Alone A Relationship With Self The most important relationship we have in our lives is with our selves. And even though we are the only ones who are present at every moment of our lives—from birth onward—this relationship can be the most difficult one to cultivate. This may be because society places such emphasis on the importance of being in a romantic partnership, even teaching us to set aside our own needs for the needs of another. Until we know ourselves, however, we cannot possibly choose the right relationship to support our mutual growth toward our highest potential. By allowing ourselves to be comfortable with being alone, we can become the people with whom we want to have a relationship. Perhaps at no other time in history has it been possible for people to survive, and even thrive, while living alone. We can now support ourselves financially, socially, and emotionally without needing a spouse for survival in any of these realms. With this freedom, we can pursue our own interests and create fulfilling partnerships with friends, business partners, creative cohorts, and neighbors. Once we’ve satisfied our needs and created our support system, a mate then becomes someone with whom we can share the bounty of all we’ve created and the beauty we’ve discovered within ourselves. As we move away from tradition and fall into more natural cycles of being in the world today, we may find that there are times where being alone nourishes us and other periods in which a partnership is best for our growth. We may need to learn to create spaces to be alone within relationships. When we can shift our expectations of our relationships with ourselves and others to opportunities for discovery, we open ourselves to forge new paths and encounter uncharted territory. Being willing to know and love ourselves, and to find what truly makes us feel deeply and strongly, gives us the advantage of being able to attract and choose the right people with whom to share ourselves, whether those relationships fall into recognizable roles or not. Choosing to enjoy being alone allows us to fully explore our most important relationship—the one with our true selves.

The Whale
Mood: a-okTopic: Positive News!! The Whale If you read the front page story of the SF Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farralon Islands (outside the Golden Gate ) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, t he only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her . a very dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed gently around --- she thanked them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same. May you, and all those you love, be so blessed and fortunate ..to be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you. And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude. I pass this on to you in the same spirit.

experiments with DNA
Mood:  incredulousTopic: Positive News!! This article is a bit technical but I`m sure you will get the message! There are incredible things happening all around us of which we are often quite unaware and I think it is very useful to have some investigations brought to our notice. The conclusions arrived at in the experiments described below will be recognised as similar to those that some of us have read in the works of Masaru Emoto and his experiments with water and have been recorded in his many fascinating books with wonderrful photographic evidence on the subject. What we do with our thoughts really can make a difference! "The Feel of The Field" Electric DNA and Our Living Universe Experiment #1 by Dr. Vladimir Poponin A container was emptied of air, so the only thing left was electromagnetic field. Poponin measured the energy distribution inside the container and found it was completely random. Then some DNA was placed inside the container and the field distribution was remeasured. This time the energy was organized in an ORDERED way aligned with the DNA. In other words the 'physical' DNA is connected to the 'non-physical' energy field. After that, the DNA was removed from the container, and the order was measured again. The field REMAINED ORDERED, with the arrangement created by the DNA.
Experiment #3 by the Institute of Heart Math

July Newsletter
Mood: brightTopic: archive newsletters July 2007 Free e-newsletter From Rachael Hertogs Hey there, so what’s going on with this weather? I hope it improves for Ashton Court Festival (I’ll be running a stall in the Enchanted Garden with my fellow Community Clinic therapists). I’ve had 2 wet camping weekends since I last wrote and I’m getting a bit fed up of drying wet tents!! But my garden is blooming, nasturtiums spreading everywhere…my sweet peas smell glorious and salads are ready to eat every day. It’s amazing! So what’s happening this month? Have you heard about the Bristol Beach? There is going to be a beach on the harbour side- near the Severn Shed…Your Community Clinic therapists will be there every Sunday giving treatments, but there will also be loads to do for kids and adults...all activities will be in the Evening post and on GWR so keep an eye out- I hear there will even be daily yoga sessions! Of course Ashton Court has had a few problems getting its licence- but they did it and this year will be different- new part of the estate and some new areas- the Enchanted Garden sounds great, massive tipi’s acoustic music, a healing area- do check it out. This month I begin teaching Reiki at ARA (addiction recovery agency) and I’m teaching a Reiki III course at the lovely Matara Centre (see www.matara.co.uk- do visit their grounds…well worth a look!) next moth is Unicorn Camp http://www.unicorncamps.com/ and Riven Stone http://www.seventhwavemusic.co.uk/rivenstone2007.html – I’m working at both, and then ending the summer at a small camp on our land in Dorset. Anyway…on with the newsletter… Seven Ways to Cope With Burnout
If you reach a point where you feel you can't take it anymore, you've arrived-at a point of overwhelm that pop psychology refers to as "burnout." It is a point of emotional exhaustion, mental confusion, and even physical fatigue. The word itself originated from a description of a busted light bulb. However, while you can't do anything about a light bulb that won't work anymore, there is plenty that you can do with psychological overwhelm. You might even say that unlike a light bulb, a human being is a self-renewing system. Here are seven simple remedies to renew your mind, body, and soul.
1. Step out into nature. Go to the mountains, the forest, or the ocean. …even a park will do!! I'm not sure how this works, but when you spend a sufficient amount of time in nature, you feel rejuvenated and your mind comes up with fresh ideas on how to cope with your pressing situation. your income. 2. Energize. Go to a health-food store and get an energy supplement. Vitamins, minerals, and herbs can help your metabolism recuperate from the stress. Most health-food stores have someone to assist you, as well as reference books and videos on what to take for your particular condition. 3. Introspect. In a notebook, write down everything that bothers you until you can come up with a way that you can change the situation. Start with a question. "What can I do about...?" Then keep writing until you come up with an answer. I once did this for two hours and came up with a new model on how I could radically improve every aspect of my life. 4. Try music. Listen to beautiful, serene, uplifting music. Don't do anything else as you listen to the music-or you'll simply find a way to tune it out. Listen to every note, every word sung, and every interval of silence in the music. It's amazing how this will transform you. Music has been said to tame a wild beast. It will do the same for the wild beast of your major upset. 5. Relax deeply. Massages, hot baths, and stretching exercises can all be used to unknot your muscles. It's impossible to be unhappy when your body is completely relaxed. The rise of stress hormones in your body, create a fight-or-flight response in your nervous system. Systematic physical relaxation reverses this condition. 6. Reframe. If you feel stressed because you are doing a task that you dislike, use your imagination to make it more enjoyable. For example, if you're raking leaves, and you just hate gardening, then imagine that you're raking in money, and that each leaf represents a fifty pound note! This will actually spark creative ideas in your mind on how you can improve 7. Talk to an expert. Visit someone who can help you or read a book or hear an audio program by a stress reduction expert. As you open your mind to new information, you shift your stuck thinking and find new ways of dealing with the troubling situation. Using any of these simple remedies or a combination for burnout will help you get your perspective back. Oh, one more tip…. Healthy housework Would you believe it: housework is good for you! It’s thought that a daily session of vigorous housework may be almost as beneficial as a session in the gym. What’s more, a study, partly funded by Cancer Research UK, found that women who did regular housework had a significantly lower risk of developing breast cancer. I'll finish with an affirmation- much love and many blessings Rachael xxx *New products!* Inspirational PostcardsPacks of 5, with envelopes, 1 of each design, £1.50 or 5 packs for £7.
