Water Messages

I have been getting so many messages from water this year. It is uncanny. I have to sit up and take serious notice.

Firstly, there were the leaks and floods and all manner of seemingly emotional issues which I was trying to add a band aid to, which we all know does nothing to abate the power of the resultant pressure build up.

Then having released my fears and my tears, keeping fingers crossed, I have not had another burst pipe or geyser or blocked drain pipe.

However, my lessons with water are not complete. I am now sitting with a state of the art salt chlorinator which continually keeps lowering my pool's pH level to acidic. The machine which is still under warranty has had every part replaced over the course of the past few weeks and is now baffling the suppliers, who assure me that this has never happened before.

And no surprise when I had my blood analysed a week ago, my uric acid levels were unexpainably sky high. So I have looked in the proverbial mirror once again and gone within to find the deeper message that I know lies there.

I was so fortunate to attend Michael Tellinger's Science Conference this last weekend at Wits University and hear Claire Janisch's talk on Biomimicry. It was here that I gathered knowledge about an experiment conducted by Dr William Tiller in which he had a group of students focus their energy on a black box filled with water. In this experiment the purpose was to raise the pH by 1.

The astonishing findings of this experiment were firstly that they were easily able to achieve this, but secondly and even more remarkably, that after about 3 to 6 months of repeating this exercise, they discovered that the space was able to hold the energy and that any subsequent water that was poured into the black box automatically raised its pH level by 1.

This new knowledge, added to my recent experimentation with toning and singing different frequencies to balance my chakras, had me take the bulls by the horn just now and put the experiment to the test.

First, I went to the salt chlorinator control panel and checked the pH of my pool, which read 6.6. It was my intention to use toning to balance my chakras and at the same time raise the pH of my pool by 0.1. The chlorinator control panel was to be my indicator. So I sat cross-legged under my meditation leopard tree and sang each sound 7 times for each chakra focusing on raising the pool's and my pH levels to 6.7.

When I went to recheck the control panel, I was startled by the reading. The pH had changed to 6.8.

So I choose to believe that I was able to raise my pH levels in my blood at the same time.

Now here's another piece of startling information I recently received. Chris Bowden, Lilly and myself were doing a full moon meditation on the evening of 10/11/11 and afterwards Lilly and I noticed that our water tasted incredibly sweet. Wondering if it had been as a result of an energy change effected by our meditation, we gulped down our water and went to refill our glasses from the 5l plastic bottle of spring water from which our first glasses had been filled. And alas the water tasted completely different.

So my message has been received with awe and gratitude. I now know that all I need to do is focus energy on my biochemistry and my tap water and my pool water and it is free. I do not need to go and buy a fancy water purifier, but rather spend time each day meditating and bringing balance and harmony to my little piece of heaven.

Yay! for life's wonderful lessons

May you walk, eat, drink, pray and love with intention
That's all it takes!

sending you love

LOVE

Look around you at your surroundings. Notice the room you're sitting in or the office or house. Take a look outside and notice the plant life and all of nature. Now realise that everything you see is a reflection of yourself, a reflection of your inner status. What we are on the inside is what we manifest in the world around us.

Love!

How do you love?
Do you love someone because you have a need that they fill?
Do you love someone because they follow the same belief system as you?
Can you love someone who is entirely different to you?
Do you love in order to access power, security, lack of loneliness, peace, greater self-esteem?
None of these are love. These are all states of co-dependence

LOVE!

How do you love yourself?
Do you love yourself? Oh heaven forbid!
Do you set yourself objectives that if and when you meet those criteria then you'll love yourself?
Do you love yourself the same when you're sick or healthy?
Do you love your inner child, the one that comes without an earth suit, a vehicle, a house, a family?

LOVE just is. It is a choice, not a romantic notion or physical attraction. Love is setting our intention to accept and love ourselves just the way we are without needing to change a thing. And likewise to love and accept others, respecting their beliefs and life choices, no matter who they are or what they do.

If all is not well in our outer worlds, we need to go within and fix the status quo. We need to challenge our insecurities and face our demons and the way to do that is to love ourselves unconditionally because when we focus on all our weaknesses we project those onto everyone and everything around us. If we feel like a victim, we will continually attract bullies to ourselves. If we are angry and disrespectful of ourselves, we will be angry and aggressive with the world and the world will appear to be a very dangerous and brutal place to live. If everyone around us pisses us of, let's look within and ask ourselves why we are so intolerant of ourselves. Our lives are a reflection of what we are.

The surest way to change the life we have, is to change ourselves.
LOVE!
Choose LOVE.

Nelson Mandela sat in prison for 27 years and what did he learn? He mastered his self-love and his love for humanity. What is his incredible legacy that he will leave us with? Love and forgiveness. We need to forgive ourselves first and then we can forgive others easily. We need to live in the now, because when we do we can't focus on past emotional issues, resentment, hatred, intolerance and anger. When we live in a perpetual state of obsessing about the future, we are in a state of fear and anxiety. We can only love when we are fully present in the here and now.

We only make more war, by fighting war with war. We manifest more anger by responding to anger with more angry words. But when we choose to be Love and Peace we create more Love and Peace in and around ourselves. It is just a choice.

We are such incredible, powerful aspects of multidimensional consciousness, how can we not be loving beacons of light to all on our planet?

Our thoughts can be like weapons, they can slay the enemy; or they can be like healing, energising swathes of brilliant light infusing our planet with empathy and compassion. We can create an amazing environment for ourselves by choosing  LOVE.

As parents of the next generation, the best gift we can give earth is to stop seeing division of race, nationality, religion, sexual preference or income bracket and love unconditionally because then our children will inherit that balanced view of life. Then our children will not be prejudiced. They will be true rainbow children.

Let's love ourselves.
Let's love one another.
Let's love all animals and plants.
Let's love our planet.

And let's watch in awe as we witness the divine change we manifest.

Have an awesome week

love

Sweet Surrender

I would ask why, when we know that the natural flow of events is going to follow its course, no matter how much fuss and resistance we put up, we still allow ourselves to worry and stress?

When we're journeying on a bus and we're late for a pressing engagement, what use is it to ourselves to run up and down the bus in haste? Our rushing and worrying won't get us to our destination any sooner than if we were to sit quietly, making full use of the precious time to connect with those around us and be fully present.

Why do we always allow ourselves to fall victim to our old patterns of behaviour? Maybe we are stuck in a self-made rut and resistant to change.

Two things that stick out for me are these:

What swings to the right, will counter swing to the left and then a little less far to the right again and then to the left, until equilibrium is achieved. Politics is a lot like this. If we observe the restrictions caused by various parties that have ruled and then watched the walls come crumbling down and the resultant counter swing to the extreme. To expect anything to the contrary would be unrealistic.

Change is inevitable and the sooner we surrender to this, the sooner we can get on with the stuff of living. Everything and everyone of us is continually aging, maturing, evolving and redefining itself. No amount of reconstructive surgery or rejuvenating pills can prevent us from getting physically older. Everything in nature is under continual refinement. Watch the erosion of soil and the melting of the glaciers. No two days are ever the same. Each day the clouds arrange themselves in different formations. Every year the trees put on another notch to their girth, the texture of their bark becomes tougher and more brittle. Even our belief system is continuously under re evaluation.

What would be the point of trying to reverse or stop the clock? What we do need to do is really savour each moment and languish in the knowing that we are exactly where we are meant to be. There is no time in the distant past or in the future which is better than right now.

Wars will come and wars will go. Political buffoons will rise to power and then be eliminated. Children will grow up in spite of their upbringing, World will change and reinvent itself, despite the destruction  and resistance caused by humans. We will survive the changing world we find ourselves in despite any attempt to keep it just like the 'good old days'.

Why is it that every generation believes that their upbringing was the way the future generation should be brought up and are resistant to all the ways of the youth. Isn't it our wake up call to move out of our self inflicted ruts? Who are the teachers anyway? Perhaps our children are our greatest teachers forcing us to keep on evolving with them or wither up and get left behind.

Why would we ever think that the unevolved person we were in our twenties is preferable to the person we are right now? Can't we see benefit in the weathered and shaped person we are now as opposed to the tender sapling we once were? O.k. our suppleness physically and mentally, at the sapling age, is to be revered and we should always strive to maintain that flexibility in our thinking, but come on...

Why do we fear death? We will die for sure. Why do we fear not emptying our inbox? Our inbox will continuously be refilled and will most certainly have undealt with matters in it when we die. It will make no difference to the continuation of the world. Why do we fear and worry about all our intended outcomes when clearly life is the journey and NOT the destination. We obsess about what and how we will survive, what our children will amount to, whether we have enough money, whether we'll leave a legacy, whether we're good enough and so the list goes on and on.

What is the point of worrying, except to tarnish our present experience?  In this constant state of fear we are not present. We do not savour the joy that is every precious moment, never to be repeated again. We cannot PVR our entire lives and have them back when we realise with hindsight that there was after all nothing to worry about and fear. We survived in spite of all the sleepless nights, all the negativity and panic attacks.

So why don't we utilise these magnificent minds of ours and make the choice to surrender to what is and the excitement of not trying to second guess our future, but rather let it unfold in its mysterious way, trusting that where we are and where we end up is exactly the right place.

Wake up tomorrow morning with the innocence of a child and say, "Wow! What an awesome day!" and see where it takes you.

Surrender and savour the sweetness of being!

in love

And the Gift Goes On...

What is a gift? It is something given from one person to another. What is that something? Is it material? Is it concrete or is it something abstract? Well, I guess it could be both a physical object, a thought, a prayer, a helping hand, a massage, a compliment, a piece of constructive criticism, imparted knowledge, something which was made by the giver or it could be time spent together.
Does a gift have to be a conscious act? I don't believe that it does. How often have we blessed or been blessed by someone without actual intent and only discovered this later on?

If we just mull over our scrap book of life and revisit some of life's most treasured gifts, don't we discover some of the most unlikely and yet amazing treasures?

We all know about the Christmas and Birthday presents we receive. They are the most outer layer of gifting, the obvious and the ones that most often receive thanks and recognition.

What about the labours of love, where someone has given of their time and energy and fixed something or made us something for no payment: the cup of tea brought to your bedside, your car that was washed for you without asking, your broken chair that your life partner fixed or the hem that your Mom put up for you. These too may well have received thanks and recognition.

Compliments? Well some of these are received with thanks, some with denial, rejection or disbelief. Isn't it amazing how seldom we feel comfortable accepting praise and compliments from another. Perhaps we need to ask ourselves why? Do we feel it is vain and therefore not noble to be credited with praise for anything from good looks to talent to hard work?

Touch is another area of controversy. We want it, but we resist it. "Stop it, I love it". Are we not so entangled in a web of conditioned guilt. We know it feels good, but is it right? Is there another ulterior motive? I want it, but I shouldn't crave or yield to it. We all know that babies that are abandoned and never touched, struggle to thrive and grow. Aren't we adults just as needing and deserving as a small child? Why is it so easy to hug and cuddle a child, relatively easy to have a short hug from a girlfriend, but not too long, not to the point of the hug effecting healing and heaven forbid two men embracing each other, why?

I was at a royal wedding reception not so long ago and spotted one of the royals I have read so much about. In one of my completely conscious or unconscious moments, you decide which, I enthusiastically glided over to her to introduce myself and give her one of my bear hugs, to which she withdrew in horror, offering me her hand instead, insisting that she didn't do hugs.

Wow! In hind sight, I feel deeply sad for this lady and the consequences of her choices, but as with all gifts, not all of them will be willingly received and as the giver, we mustn't be hurt if the receiver is unwilling or closed to receiving. It also mustn't stop us from continually finding more and more opportunities to give.

Then there's the gift of time spent together. Oh how wonderful it is to bask in each other's presence enjoying the presents of presence. How often do we take these precious moments for granted, spending them without presence. We don't really value and appreciate them. Little do we realise that these are the gifts that will endure the test of time, These are the gifts that will be bubble wrapped with us for eternity. We can't take the material gifts with us when we die, but the emotional scrap books of memories of special moments of being are the treasures I know I will always keep close in my heart. These are the gifts that cannot be erased or taken away. They do not fade or age like material gifts. They are gifts for eternity. These gifts are often received without recognition or thanks, but they are remembered forever.

Then what of the gift of intention or thoughtful prayer. It is the looking out for one another, caring when no one knows and no one has asked. This is the ultimate selfless gift! This gift is given without the recipient even being aware of the transaction; and so this gift never receives thanks or recognition. This powerful gift can effect healing for the recipient, love, help in resolving life issues, etc.

But the greatest of all gifts for me are the ones where neither the giver or the receiver are aware of the transaction and I'll give you an example.

A friend reads up about an amazing course and mentions it to her friend who enrols and is blessed by her new found wisdom, who in turn shares it with her clients and her family all of whom are blessed and receive insights and who in turn share their new truths with those in their circle.
And so the gift goes on and on and on...

I love this about life
It is this continuum that enthralls and inspires me and motivates me to keep on sharing and learning and sharing and learning.
The more we share our knowledge, the more comes gushing in.

You are the greatest gift of all

God bless you all and may your gifts keep flowing

love
Nicolette
