Do you remember Douglas Adam’s wonderful creation ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’? There was more than a little truth in that absurd tale…

Like the invention called the Bambleweeny I.I.G. – a device that needed a really strong cup of tea before it could start randomly generating alternate versions of reality (hmm… I often feel that way myself).

Here’s an alternate version I tried 
with some interesting results:

Play with me a moment. Let’s take a little journey to your own inner galaxy. 

Take a deep breath all the way down to your cute little toes and go deep deep within…like following the white rabbit down a long long tunnel. And as you breathe out, sense the space between the molecules of which you are made.

It’s sooo relaxing to be space, instead of heavy, dense, mass.

You are the space between the molecules. And as you breathe in and relax, see that at the very centre of your being, there is a funny kind of machine. It’s whirring away, rather like the steam pipe-organ in the centre of an old merry-go-round.

Instead of cranking out quaint old tunes and whirling the painted ponies around, it’s creating infinite possibilities for your life – with joyous abandon.

Riotous fun, travel, shopping expeditions, sleeping in….all shooting like fireworks out the top of the pipes.

However, if you’re in the habit of creating lack, drama or so-so, it does that abundantly, too!

You actually have endless creativity at the very centre of your being! Endless possibilities of how your life could be.

Hmmm…. but what to choose?

You can come back to reality with a bump now.

Is it time to whip out your scissors and paste some glossy mags images onto a new vision board? Stick up some affirmations on the fridge and get cracking with your goals and intentions? Think positive?

Been there, done that?

Got the old law of attraction in full flight? Yeah, me too. For about the last 25 years….

There is an easier way.

It doesn’t limit what’s possible.
It isn’t based on what you can imagine.
It  doesn’t involve giving up anything.

The key is using possibility.  
It is NOT making judgements and decisions about what is best (and applying them to those tedious vision boards).

In other words, you ask questions, like:
“What would be fun for me?”
“What choices do I have here?”
“What would I like?”
“What else is possible?’”

Questions open up the energy of the Universe. Questions invite change and possibility into your world. Seems simple? It is.

I urge you to try it – but don’t ask if you don’t want any change!

If you’d like to completely change the way money shows up in your life, this course is for you!
Psychic channel and energy transformer Shauna Teaken facilitates amazing shifts for each participant in her group events – with an ability to hone in on past life limitations carried over in t0 this life; releasing cultural and religious conditionings; and working with the possibilities for future creations and achievements.

What might be possible for you if you had no ‘subconscious blocks’, limiting beliefs or ‘low self-esteem’ issues? All of these can be shifted in an instant when you open up to the new paradigm of being presented in ‘Money, Honey’.

Working with currency streams – a completely different paradigm.

Are you prepared to ditch all your beliefs, conditionings and programs about money and allow a flow for all that you require?

Money isn’t the issue that you think it is!

The world does not function on money, it functions on energy.

Somehow in our reality, money has become a yardstick for how well we are doing in the game of life, how we measure our worth and value.

But is that true, or an illusion?

We do not ‘make’ money and there is no money being made – money is a currency stream of energy – and energy by definition cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

We are the currency that flows through all things.

So through this highly interactive and personal journey, we will examine our own points of view about money and transform them. As we do, we will free up the money currents in our lives.

“The world pays in coin of energy and if you are giving & receiving of money as energy, you will have abundance.” Gary Douglas of Access Consciousness.

The tools given in this course will free up the energy flows in any area of your life which is not working as you would like it to – including health, relationships & career.

• we don’t just talk about what stops/starts your money flows – we actually do the work in the class
• this is not another information-based seminar – you will be clearing, transforming, shifting the past experiences, conditioning, ways of thinking and languaging that have kept you locked into the need/survive/work  hard/deserve blah blah blah paradigm of wealth
• ask yourself this – would you more easily and enjoyably be able to assist your family, contribute to the world with ease of money flow, or without?
• Register now, as places will be limited to maximise individual clearings and transformation.

Change One Word – Change Your Life?

Does the the gap between where your life is & where you’d like it to be, feel bigger than the Grand Canyon at times?

If I were to define the one common thread in all the personal sessions I have done with women over the last 30 years - it would be that most of these bright, aware people simply had a lack of clarity and perspective over both what they were truly capable of being, doing and having, and how to get themselves from their current life situation to living a more rewarding life.

Most of us are so busy being and doing ten different things at once it’s almost impossible to see or sense beyond that.

In this week’s e-news I share with you how  such a lack of clarity around what it is you’d really like, and the words you are using to define it and ask for it –  create the canyon, and how to bridge it.

It’s about understanding the meaning behind the words you use and choosing words which are an authentic match for your intentions -  clear communication in work, personal, and yes, even cosmic relationships producing more of what you’d like.

Let’s start with some goal setting techniques we’ve probably all played with!

“Ask and you shall receive”
You write a list of what you ‘want’, look at it often, try to imagine what it would feel like having it all -  then the Universe/God/higher power will begin moving it all towards you.
It’s all in that big cosmic  warehouse waiting for my order so it can be delivered. But where are those D…. delivery men?

“Your words are your wand” 
Words and thoughts are powertful, like a magic wand that creates what you think and speak about – so we’ve all been trying to speak and think only ‘positive’ for a very long time.
(Patient, but optimistic, sigh.)

And there’s that old chestnut “The Law of Attraction”  which has been cycling through seminars, books and even channeled material for yonks, and is one which I personally have gotten quite a good grip on.
I’m so magnetic I glow in the dark now.
 

So how come we’re not all Comfortably Well Off & supporting 10 world vision children & walking along the beach at sunset holding hands with our soul mate etc etc? 
Where have we been going ‘wrong’?

Here’s the thing

It is an ‘ask and you shall receive’ universe, words are like magic wands and the Law of Attraction does work, but not like ‘they’ tell you it does.
 

WHAT?

Yes, I know, it’s annoying – I’ve been buying those books, writing wish lists & thinking good thoughts since the late 70′s (19, not 18) .

Here’s what may revolutionise the whole ‘dream big’ and and set goals thing for you:-
The Universe does indeed always deliver what you ‘want’. However, to get what you’d like, requires clarity in the asking and languaging it carefully, then putting it in the form of questions. No point confusing the Universe!

1. Clarity – the energy of what you’d like must match the words

It’s important to take the time to work out what truly resonates for you as the life you’d like to be living. This may take several days of asking questions, such as ”What would I like?” as opposed to what you think would be most practical, logical, reasonable and would fit in with everyone else in your life. “What would be rewarding for me?”

This is not about ‘things’ but experiences – a job or business you love, a body that feels fantastic,  interesting and fun friends. It’s about creating a rewarding life, not just the life you think you want or need.

The point here is that  for most of us, money is not what we truly desire – it is simply the means we think we have to have, in order  to get  the things that we think would make living worthwhile. 
Surprised the Universe can’t follow it either? Asking for an amount of  money will not resonate with what you truly desire.  Ask for what you’d like to be doing, not what you think would buy that for you.

2. Languaging -  it’s the words and how you use them!
Saying “I want to manifest more money.” is really saying  ”I is really saying  ”I lack how more money shows up.”  (‘Want’ means ‘the lack of’) . You are asking the Universe for more lack – shortage - in the ways money can come to you. And it will deliver more lack. Mis-applying words is simply sending a garbled message which brings jumbled results.
Instead of your words being ‘magic wands’ it’s been the drama stick, the average stick or the poor stick you’ve been waving about. And for some of us, it’s certainly been the uglystick as far as sticky relationships go.
 

When someone says “I want to lose weight.”  the desire or energy behind the words is “I’d like a lovely body I adore and feel wonderful in.” but the meaning of the words are ” I lack of losing weight” and, the Universe gives you just what you ask for – a lack of losing weight.

‘WANT’ is the one word, which if you dropped from your vocabulary, would create a huge difference in your life.

Remember what you say is what you get – saying I’m tired, broke, stuck, unhappy or fed up solidifies the energy and you just get more of what you ask for. That’s the Law of Attraction at work, right there! Asking a question, however, moves it all on. Read on…

3. Questions -  ‘ask and you shall receive’ is telling us to ask questions! Affirmations and statements only ‘dead-end’ energy.

So, you’ve worked out what you’d really like is an interesting job, doing something you enjoy, which allows you to, say, travel, or buy a house or whatever. Or, you’d like to have a kind, intuitive and fun partner in your life.

So you ask the Universe ‘What it’s going to take for that to show up?” or “What can I do differently that would allow that to show up?”

You ask, and you don’t ponder on it, try to figure it out or answer it. You pay attention to what comes up in the next few days to alert you to the possibilities. And they will appear! You will find yourself having a surge of inspiration, or a set of circumstances will arise which are possibilities for you to investigate.

These are all tools which put you in the position of creating your living  instead of ‘having a life’. Here again, using the words differently brings different results – if you say “my life” that’s a done deal, it’s set, but  living is an on-going, ever changing, present moment thing.

It really is as simple as that, but if your head is spinning, relax. I’ve figured out ways to make these profound changes easy and fun.

I work directly with people to help them get the clarity toa. What would be rewarding for them as individuals
b. what’s stopping it showing up
And then, tools to shift into top gear and start zooming forward.

You can work one on one with me for maximum personal shifts and fast track results in a single session, or commit to a 28 day Break It Wide Open program to transform your living; learn to meditate in a private session  or come and learn Bars bodywork and go at your own pace.

It all starts with a phone call or an email….

There they are, years later – dried out, neglected, dessicated, half alive, but I collect them all and shove them into my little car. I notice as I do that some are in beautiful planters in wonderful, jewel like glazes and shapes, and I remember how much I loved choosing them.

What did it all mean?

For me it was about reclaiming all the times in the past where I had planted seeds or seedlings with great hopes of success, in beautifully
conceived containers – the relationships, businesses, training courses – all started with carefully constructed plans and wishes, hopes and dreams for the future, and where the result was I felt I’d failed or done badly.

Retrieving the dried out-remnants still housed in their pretty pots was a way I was reminding myself that nothing is wasted, nothing lost and in fact, there was a huge amount of ‘spring planting’ energy that was just ready to blossom in my life right now.

I can plant again, but with a huge bank of past growth energy to draw on.

But how?

When we judge past events that didn’t work out quite the way we planned as ‘failures’, ‘stuff-ups’ or ‘big mistakes’, that if only we’d worked harder, known more or been smarter it wouldn’t have happened, then sadness, regret and sometimes resentment and shame can block further success.
Once you judge something as wrong or bad – that’s what it becomes. End of story. Only painful or fearful feelings attend the memory.

But the enthusiasm, joy and creativity that was there at the start can still yield results right now in your present, for the things you are working on right now.

The Dormant Seeds
All it takes is to be willing to let go of how you view the past - and getting the idea that the original seed energy is still there – locked in and waiting for you to free it.  Something marvellous happens when you do this…

You can will reap the harvest of all your  perceived ‘failures’ forward through time. That’s a lot of stuck energy to get moving! 

It has nothing to do with forgiving yourself,  just the perception that nothing is ever wasted or wrong, it just brought you to where you are now.

And asking:  
‘What would it take for all that start-up
energy to show up right now?’ and ‘What if the timing was just wrong then, not me?’

There’s so much about ourselves we judge as wrong, or not good enough. That very judgement will stop us seeing and exploring new possibilities. And sometimes it takes someone else to help us see our inner potential and those harsh sticking places. I assist you to not only see these things, but shift the energy once and for all. As easy as that.
Call to book a personal session and start igniting that rocket fuel! 

What is the ‘power of Now’?

People are always talking about the importance of ’being in the present moment’ or ‘being in the now’ or ‘being connected’.

What is that, exactly?

Not Being in the Now refers to how all the unfinished business of our past – including resentments, regrets, trauma, accumulated stress & anxiety , coupled with concern/planning/worrying about the future, plus the barrage of stimulation we cop from all angles in everyday life – creates a state of busy brain, tired body and Not Much Fun.

Oh, and premature ageing and sometimes ill health.

I feel antsy & twitchy just writing about it.

How to Be –  Now?
It’s actually really simple!
About 24 years ago, after a journey through every kind of meditation you can think of and tons I bet you can’t – including TM (that’s transcendental meditation) staring at a candle for hours, staring at an invisible candle for hours, sitting cross-legged with a crystal tied to my forehead (don’t ask), lying down and visualizing, floating (in water not air) and balancing upside down - we found a technique that works quicker than writing or even reading this paragraph. And – bonus! – doesn’t hurt!

 Yes, we’ve done it all so you don’t have to!

This technique works, we still use it – it’s the foundation of all the workshops, courses and readings we do – but here’s the secret – because we learnt it and practised and got comfy with it – we no longer have to sit down and do it with eyes shut everyday!

I can be calm, clear, connected and not affected 
by -
noise, other people, stressful situations, and ‘bad vibes’. 
More than that I can have a deep connection with what some call the ‘higher self’ .
I can sleep 6-7 hours every night and feel great.  And much more.

We’ve taught this same technique to hundreds of people and the same can happen for you – you will learn the technique, practice it – then it just becomes what you do, naturally,  that enhances your life, your sleep, your health, your relationships and all the rest.

“Since learning Shauna & Joan’s distinctive meditation approach I have found meditating to be a simple, easy and restful process which leaves me energized and with a very clear mind! It’s quite a challenge to stop my mind from whirring, but your magical technique accomplishes it in seconds!”

This may be very different from what you think of as meditation.
There’s no eastern influence, no yoga mats and no lotus position.

Over the four weeks of our course, you will learn to:

• still a busy mind,
• relax your body and sleep better
• clear accumulated stress and anxiety
• establish easy connection with your ‘higher self’ or Oneness
• be in the present moment more & more
• access your creative and problem solving abilities easily

 The benefits of this meditation are many – including:

Feeling replenished, nurtured and revived;
Connecting easily to your inner awareness;
Strengthening your Inner Core of self trust;
Enhancing your intuitive abilities.

This has nothing to do with astrology, Chinese medicine or mineral supplements and everything to do with your creative, free and authentic self. 

I once did a reading for a busy accounts exec who had a super job she loved, which challenged her on many levels. She had recently developed a great relationship, was making good money –  but, what was the inner, indefinable ‘missing’ thing?

During the course of our session and after some clearings, I asked her:
“Where & when are you most happy, most ‘you’?

It all spilled out in a rush as she said “Near water, I love to be near water – the sea, a creek a river – I don’t care – I come alive and it’s what I love and I crave it!”

She absolutely lit up as she talked about how much it meant to her and how she never made time for it anymore.

It was what she said next that was astonishing.  
“In fact, if I feel I haven’t worked hard enough or done well enough, I deny myself water – going away on holidays, swimming in it, even drinking it!”

AHA! That made perfect no-sense at all!

So I asked next, ‘Are you a water elemental?” and she blurted out: “I have no idea what that is, but the answer is YES!“ and burst into tears.

Something in her very core was aligned to water, and being in and around natural water spots fulfilled, nourished and replenished that core. It was easy to see that scheduling weekends and holidays regularly was going to help -

But! Something deeper had happened here. We had uncovered a mystical, magical side of her that had lain dormant since childhood, and the reason why no matter how successful her life appeared, something was always missing.

In further discussion it appeared she had dismissed her childhood beliefs and connections with the magical and mystical as just that – childish fantasies. This realisation led to some fresh changes and perspectives. 

The seemingly conflicted parts of her desires and requires – to be successful, to have a good relationship and to spend time near a watersource could in fact be integrated and blended. Later, she and the new man sold up and moved to a country property with it’s own creek and waterholes. She negotiated to continue her job online from home!

I have employed a similar process with many, many people. Some have air affinities, some fire and others earth. They may attach words like faerie, angel, sylph or even mermaid to these concepts, but that’s not what counts.

What matters is that accepting and acknowledging a magical, free and nature-linked part of you,  immediately brings a sense of relief, of lightness and sometimes ‘coming home’.

Many things begin to fall into place easily. It’s a little like recapturing the fun, magic and joy of childhood, at a new level.

It actually takes a lot of energy to constantly ignore inner callings to connect with your mystical nature, your higher self, or inner guidance – however you like to think of it.

Don’t misunderstand me – the people I work with are not alternate, ‘hippy-dippy’ types of people. They are usually successful, hard working executives, accountants, teachers, business owners – all leading very ‘normal’ lives.

They had come to me, I believe, because ‘something else’ was niggling away at them. Doing, doing, doing wasn’t providing all the juice they had hoped.

For these people a part of their being resonated very strongly to a realm or dimension not considered ‘real’or valid in our modern world.

In not being able to express this hidden portion of self, they had shut down much of their creative, joyous, expressive natures.

Tapping back in to your Elemental self provides a key to:

• deepening your connection to nature & with your body
• accessing your free, uninhibited and creative self who can provide amazing solutions to all kinds of problems you may be facing
• a sense of belonging, perhaps for the first time.
• sensing these magical realms around you and in other people.

So, which Elemental are you?

You may be a combination of several! 

Working together in a private consultation, we can discover your elemental affinities and get them working for you. Phone or email for a booking and let’s get it happening.

Look out for a forthcoming workshop on how to communicate & work with the magical realms.

Beginning my training as a medium in the early 1980’s, I have worked with all the realms, they are  a part of my everyday life. From buying and selling houses, choosing my clothes, my cars, my relationships  and my career – I use the wisdom and energy of the realms to assist me. Now you can, too! 

Devas, little people, elves, pixies, water sprites, nature guardians – there are many names for beings which exist in other dimensions.ng to enhance your creativity, health and relationships.

This has nothing to do with astrology, Chinese medicine or mineral supplements and everything to do with your creative, free and authentic self.

For women who want a little fun
while unlocking & unblocking and
getting to that place you want to go…

As Women we have a unique and powerful natural ability to create.

While we can use this to create life, it is also available for us to: -

· Enjoy fulfilling relationships
· Contribute to the world
· Rejuvenate our bodies
This wonderful energy is called “FEMALE CREATIVE ENERGY”

It is little known, seldom talked about and yet incredibly potent.

Female Creative Energy is what makes female bodies live longer, have better endurance and overall health than male bodies. But it is so much more!

When you have conscious awareness of running this delightful energy, life changes! It has a lightness and joy to it, a non-competitiveness and a delicious sensuality. And yet, it has a potency and power to it totally unlike male energies of will and intention.

Join meditation expert Joan Teaken for this advanced workshop.

During the day you will learn how to run this energy in your body for healing, increased energy and enhanced sexuality and sensuality.
You will be releasing blocks, limiting beliefs and experiences in an easy and relaxed way.
There is no eastern philosophy, lotus position or religious connotation to this workshop. You’ll be comfortably seated in chairs.
