You gave me insight and understanding

When I first met you Angela, I was drawn to you across a room full of people.

Do you remember how we connected so deeply, it was quite incredible. You have a presence unlike anybody I know and an absolute love for human nature every creed and colour.

You were able to see me for who I really was, within my confusion of life that I was experiencing at that time. You gave me insight and understanding and for that I can only say thankyou.

Most of all you radiate gentleness and love, a very wise soul who has a natural gift in helping others.

With love and peace

Michelle

Angela,
As you know I have been practicing Buddhism with the SGI for 20 years and have received many benefits from chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. However, today while having the pleasure to dialogue with you, I received one of the most amazing BENEFITS thus far in my Buddhist practice.

Angela your compassionate and healing words has inspired me to transform my anger towards my parents into compassion.

For years I have held resentment towards my Dad and Step-Mom for verbally and physically abusing me. Eventhough, as an SGI Buddhist, I know that I should not begrudge my life or my parents’ lives, I still managed to do just that.

Thank you for explaining to me how I need to understand that my parents’ verbally abusing me was actually an expression of how poorly they feel about themselves; it is the greatest compliment that they call me horrible words. They are simply jealous of me and unhappy with themselves.

Thank you for being an amazing friend and gifted healer. I have so much hope for my future after talking with you today. I look forward to practicing the daily affirmations.
Love always,
Alice

Labyrinths, what a great learning tool!

The other day I had a call from my friend Leigh (www.gatheringinspiration.com), asking me to come see her up at our local primary school, as a mutual friend Eva (www.evawolfram.com) was building a labyrinth. I LOVE labyrinths! My first experience of one was at a ’spiritual awareness’ day. A smooth stone had a labyrinth carved onto it’s surface, with the path being wide enough for any finger to comfortably follow in the groove. I was told the way to do it was to trace out the groove slowly, pausing if needing to, but to keep my finger in the groove at all times until the labyrinth was completed. I noticed immediately the slowing down of my breathing and heartbeat; before I knew it I was transported to another time and place. It truly was a magical experience. Being seasoned at meditation I can tell you that it took me into a Delta much quicker than I would have thought possible by doing something so simple. To this day I am still amazed at how relaxing and meditative it is to trace a labyrinth with my finger. I highly recommend it.

Last year I went to the Bestival and I walked a labyrinth that Eva made there. It was Magical. It was like the hand-held tracing labyrinth but much, much better. I remember getting very clear on issues that were going on for me at the time, and in the process of walking around towards the center I felt a release of some deep worry that I was currently working through. At the center of the labyrinth was a tree, and soft strips of material and colored pens had been provided for making wishes and tying them on to the tree. The peace I felt upon arriving at the center was phenomenal. Labyrinths are truly a sacred place and a way to remember who we really are.

Needless to say, with my previous experiences of labyrinths I jumped at the opportunity to see what teachings I would get. (I forgot to mention each cycle of doing the labyrinth at the Bestival gave me a teaching that was beneficial for my growth at the time.) Before I even walked up the drive to the school I could feel the energy shift. I could feel my breathing slow down and my whole body relax, release and drop into a meditative state. I stopped and breathed in the air and the energy. The walk up the drive was a walk of honor. I could see the labyrinth in the field to my right, and my heart opened with the possibilities.

Some mothers of the children who attend Chale Primary School were helping Eva to build the sacred structure that had already changed the energy of the land. Once the stones had been laid completely and precisely in place (the planting of the tree and much more is yet to be done), I was able to take my journey through the labyrinth, and I did it hand in hand with 4 year old Millie. I explained to Millie about staying on the path, and about the wish we would make once we got to the center as we wound our way around. Being excited about the wish Millie asked if we were every going to get to the middle (the place of wishes). At that exact point we were on the outer ring of the labyrinth but we were actually almost at the center. It struck me then that it often feels that we are the furthest away from our dreams, desires, wishes when we are actually the closest to them. It looked and felt like we were the furthest away from the center that we had been on our journey - there were times when we’d seemed to be a lot closer - yet where we were at the moment that Millie questioned our ever reaching our goal was at the shortest stretch of our journey. I love knowing that. I love even more having experienced that learning.

If you want to create a sacred space of great learning I highly recommend having someone like Eva Wolfram to create it for you.

Be easy on your journey and know that when you feel the furthest away, you are probably have only a few steps further to go…..

Affirmations, the Joy of them….

I’ve just returned from a Med Cruise where I took my family mostly to see Abraham (www.abraham-hicks.com). The workshop was ever so leading edge and expanding and I am truly feeling more like the truly aligned being that I am.

On the cruise I re-discovered the Wonders and Joys of Affirmations from watching Louise Hay’s ‘You Can Heal Your Life’ DVD.

I’ve been really experiencing the contrast of coming home to do my own cooking and cleaning after spending 10 days having all of my needs, including my spiritual ones catered too!!!! So, I have really dived into my Affirmations.

Finding a new found appreciation for Affirmations is a follow on from the Miracles Coaching Program (http://www.miraclescoaching.com) that I just finished where I was introduced to Ho’oponopono (www.zerolimits.info) the most phenomenal healing method I have ever experienced and doing affirmations, something that in 20 years of studying personal development I have managed to avoid!

Anway, I LOVE my daily affirmations so much that I wanted to share them with you.

The other thing I did was ‘write my own story’. I got the idea from a book I skimmed through on the cruise. In the book Wildly Wealthy it suggested to write my ideal day, I haven’t quite figured that one out yet. I know it would involve swimming and talking to clients, but I haven’t gotten past those two things. Then when we got home I was watching an Abraham DVD with my partner and Abraham suggested to someone to write his own story! I was just sitting there working out my perfect affirmations so it was easy for the inspiration to flow through me and I wrote my own story of how I’d like it to be! Here it is:

Angela’s Story

I mortgaged my house. I had fun with the money and enjoyed unlimited spending. I learnt loads from investing in personal development. It got a bit hairy. I got into alignment with a HUGE amount of money! Yeah! Julian quit his job. I booked the Abraham Tahiti cruise, bought a brand new car and booked huge home improvements including a hydrotherapy pool and extension. Now I spend every day doing what I love to do most!!! Yeah!!! Joy!!!! AND I have the resources and finances NOW to do anything and everything I want!!!

Personal Note:

I’ve been doing these affirmations every day and telling my story for the last couple of days and it has had a profound effect on my life already. Today I had the opportunity to do some Ho’oponopono for a client and it was the best session I’ve ever done. I really, really ‘cleaned’. Then I got a package (I LOVE presents!!!!) from Darcy. She sent me my own kit to grow a redwood tree! I LOVE Redwood Trees and I LOVE Darcy!

P.S. I will definitely keep you posted on what unusual ways money comes to me. I’m looking forward to the amazing ways that is going to happen!!
