Hi Everyone

So we are well into the month that celebrates women, and we hope it has treated all you beautiful ladies well so far.

Just as the season is slowly changing into spring, there may be some of you that have change approaching, or currently taking place, in your own lives. If you are doubting whether you can survive it, or questioning your ability to successfully cope with it, just remember that you are strong, courageous, and much more capable than you think.

This change could be just the thing you need in order to see your true potential, inner strength, and beauty. And beautiful you are!

We wish each and every one of you a great month ahead, along with some well deserved pampering- even if you have to pamper yourself!

On another note, Traci and her daughter Nirvana, will be leaving for France this Saturday, 9 August. Nirvana has been suffering from eczema since the age of 2, and a company called Pierre-Fabre has offered to pay for the trip to France, so that Nirvana can receive treatment at the Avene Hydro Centre. Follow their journey on Traci's blog here.

WORLD FAMOUS BRAZILIAN HEALER ,JOHN OF GOD,WHO HAS HEALED MILLIONS : BY LORRAINE BURNE
To 'inspire' is 'to breathe life into' or 'to infuse with, kindle, arouse, awaken in the mind or in the heart a feeling, idea, impulse or purpose'. What Lorraine Burne received some years ago at John of God's Casa de Dom Inacio in Central Brazil was all of the above and a thousand times more than she could ever have dreamed. This is her story. I was shifted forward in my life in so many ways that, months after my visit, I still pulse with the high vibratory energy that infuses everything here. I am able to connect back at will and pick up the energetic pulse that transformed my life, offering a clear sense of purpose and service to others, and setting me on an entirely new path.

South Africans are becoming aware of the inexplicable healings that happen at the Casa of John of God in Central Brazil by the grace and dedication of John of God himself, possibly the world’s most famous healer. I have witnessed inexplicable miracles there and have received my own healings and blessings. I am now a certified Casa Guide and take a few small groups there each year. Over 14 million people have received physical and emotional healings and forward shifts in their lives, and all who go receive a spiritual healing. Most who have been will say that they are not the same after this life changing, uplifting experience.

My next trips are 6- 21 October & 8- 21 December 2014.
Based in Fourways, I also offer the Crystal Bed treatments from the Casa. These hour long treatments give deep balancing, cell restructuring, centering, peace of mind and extraordinary healings.

 What's on in CAPE




Self-medication: are you guilty?
Many people frequently use OTC (over the counter) medicines as a quick fix solution to relieve a variety of symptoms such as a headache, a pain, blocked sinus passages, constipation, insomnia. The list goes on and on, and while OTC medicines may temporarily bring relief it is certain to make the situation worse in the long run.

When you are in pain or discomfort you don’t stop to consider the danger of an incorrect diagnosis or the danger of drug reactions or incorrect dosages, you just want the pain to go away, right?

Well, the next time you find yourself reaching for a tablet, rather search for a specialized kinesiologist in your area. Kinesiology is a gently, non-invasive method of identifying what is causing the imbalance in your body, and the application of suitable techniques to restore balance on the bio-chemical, emotional, mental and physical aspects of your life.
It will require only 2 -3 sessions of 45 minutes each to restore vitality and energy.

Welcome to Divine Space’s ‘Colour Therapy Workshops

Magic of Colour 
This workshop lays the foundation, knowledge and wisdom of colour. Your colour choices increase your understanding of self and others, bringing enlightenment and support in all facets of your life. This workshop will give you the tools to do colour readings and will kick start the process of self-healing and re-claiming your power.

Your choices offer insight into your gifts, talents and hidden potential. Using the Divine Oils and Angel Sprays will help overcome the barriers on the path to fulfilment.

Antaneea Technique
Healing and release happens through this multi-sensory experience, which combines gentle massage, colour, sound, visualisation, geometry and fragrance. The body is anointed 3 times with the divine ‘Oils of Transformation.’ When used in specific sequences; this balances the physical and emotional bodies while aligning you with your true path in your journey through life. Sound vibrations add another dimension to the process, and the combination is both deeply supportive and transformational.

This workshop offers you a safe space to go through your own healing process; while giving you the skills to become an Antaneea therapist if you choose that path.

The Human Singularity - Esoteric Mastery Stage 1
with John Gamble

In the study of the sciences a singularity is the term used for something that cannot truly be defined, it is something that either misbehaves and breaks free of its definition or is completely infinite and immeasurable, like the human heart, spirit and soul.

Every single one of us is a singularity. We all operate at incredibly different frequencies of existence. Your are deeply unique and we are all infinite in the sense that our soul consciousness and spirit are immortal. The question is, “how do we align that to our physical existence, experiencing happiness and joy in the moment, as opposed to sometime in the future when we are no longer on the mortal plain?”

The Human Singularity is an extraordinary program that offers you specific keys to aligning your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual experiences, allowing you to balance the four major aspects of you human incarnation, and offering you the opportunity to find complete happiness within. Join international teacher and healer John Gamble on this powerful introductory program.

Starts: Sunday 10th August (Six Sessions)
Area: Douglasdale - Johannesburg
Contact Melissa 076 833 1059 or melissaneuss@mweb.co.za

Sonja Bohnsack

Regression Therapist: Past Life and Life Between Lives
Regression therapy can deal with phobias, fears, relationship issues, trauma and more. Clients have had the most phenomenal results, experiencing permanent shifts through just one regression session. If there is anything that you do not understand about yourself, your behaviour, your reactions to certain people, places or situations, any aspect of yourself that you would like to heal and deal with, give this a try. The life between lives experience gives you information about this lifetime. What is your purpose, what are your life lessons, who are your soul mates, who are your guides and what messages do they have for you. It also gives you the experience of what it feels like to be without a body and in a place of pure soul.

How’s your colon? By Lee Buckle, Dip Pharm
AIM Herbal Fiberblend
Certainly not dinner-table talk, but one has to ask the questions- do you have a normal bowel movement at least once or twice a day? Are you eliminating the putrefied matter that may be poisoning you?

“The colon is a sewage system, but by neglect and abuse it becomes a cesspool. When it is clean and normal, we are happy and well; let it stagnate and it will distil the poisons of decay, fermentation and putrefaction into the blood, poisoning the Brain and Nervous System, so that we become mentally depressed and irritable; the Heart, so that we are weak and listless; the Lungs, so that the breath is foul; the Digestive Organs, so that we are distressed and bloated; the Blood , so that the skin is sallow and unhealthy. In short every organ of the body is poisoned, and we age prematurely, look and feel old, the joints are stiff and painful, neuritis, dull eyes and a sluggish brain overtake us, the pleasures of living are gone.”

AIM Herbal Fiberblend provides the fibre and psylium which are both an integral part of any detoxification programme. It also contains a unique and powerful blend of herbs that aids this process.

AIM Herbal Fiberblend ‘sweeps’ the digestive tract clean, enabling the tract to absorb the maximum nutrients from the food you eat. It is a great colon cleanser, easy to take and fits into anyone’s lifestyle.

Also available in capsules!

ANGEL CARD READING - Margie McAlpine
 


   Interpretation by Margi of Angel Therapy Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue

“ Goddess - Express your Divine feminine energy, embracing its magical intuition and nurturing qualities ”

Interpretation

Everyone carries female and male energies. However sometimes it is hard to bring the two into balance. For many years now the female energies have been suppressed as the male energies were much easier to integrate into the world around you. In most work situations it is the male energy that comes to the fore because it can be such a cut throat situation and everyone wants to achieve to the best of their abilities. That now needs to change. The softer feminine energy must now be allowed to come to the fore for that is what you and the planet need to enable healing to take place. If you have neglected your feminine aspect then now is the time to consciously bring it into your daily life. For most people the magic is missing from their lives. By bringing your feminine energy into balance you will once again be able to restore the magic and make your life the magical time it is meant to be. Do not ignore your intuition for it is very strong and absolutely correct. Instead nurture this aspect of yourself and allow it to grow in love and confidence. Once you are in balance you will find that every aspect of your life will change for the better. So honour the goddess within and do not be afraid to show the softer, nurturing side of yourself which will enable you to achieve beyond measure!

HEALTH TIP

13 Really Good Reasons to Exercise Regularly

Besides being able to flaunt a well-built body, exercise offers a myriad of mental and spiritual health benefits:

1.
Exercise reduces stress
2.
It boosts happily chemicals- after a good workout you will feel happier and more euphoric. Exercise is also a great way of alleviating the symptoms of depression.
3.
Exercise will improve your self-confidence and self-esteem, due to improved looks and pride in taking care of your health.
4.
You will have a chance to enjoy the outdoors by going for a jog, hiking, or going for a canoe ride. You will also receive some important Vitamin D from basking in the sun.
5. Prevention of cognitive decline- Working out, especially between age 25 and 45, boosts the chemicals in the brain that support and prevent degeneration of the hippocampus, an important part of the brain for memory and learning.
6.
Alleviation of anxiety
7.
Boosts brainpower- it has been proven that exercise can create new brain cells and improve your overall brain performance.
8. Sharpens memory- regular physical activity boosts your memory and your ability to learn new things.
9. Helps control addiction by effectively distracting drug or alcohol addicts.
10.
Increases relaxation
11.
Get more work done- research has shown that workers that take the time to exercise regularly, are more productive and have increased energy.
12. Boosts creativity- an intense gym session can boost creativity for up to two hours afterwards.
13. Inspire others to also engage in regular exercise, as most people don't like exercising on their own.

BO0K REVIEW
Our review of Hitesh Surujbally's book " The Universe Has Not Decided "

This book had me entranced – I read it all in one sitting. Hitesh writes in a way that makes complicated concepts easy to understand. There were many ‘Aha’ moments too because the analogies bring us back to our humanness, and reminds us of our ultimate divinity. Many life questions are asked and explained in philosophical, yet simple terms. Hitesh speaks about all possibilities and I especially love his analogy on God – invite God into your life and once you realise this higher being, the awareness that we are that higher being comes to light. Hitesh also discusses spiritual sciences and helps us to understand how important universal openness is. Once we have made the decision to follow through on whatever life path we want, the universe will open up to create those infinite possibilities to tap into. This book is brilliant, and should be in the hands of any one asking the question:
‘What am I doing here?’

The Open Heart


Last month, as the Sun moved through the moon-ruled sign of Cancer, we connected to our feelings and embraced our cracks and imperfections. In August, with the Sun blazing in Bright Royal Leo, the soil is soft and ready for us to open our hearts, take responsibility for ourselves as individuals and connect with our unique creative expression.

Are you a stressed girl?

Stress affects us all, but it seems that as we get older, the more stressed we become. We leave home, where we are fed, clothed and sheltered for free only to be bombarded with an endless list of burdens. These include financial burdens, difficult work environments and high paced jobs, marriage and the biggest (but most rewarding) stress-becoming a parent.

Are you a victim of abuse?

When you hear the term women abuse,you picture images of women with black eyes, broken or bruised bodies. You think of women being slapped around by a drunk or angry partner. The truth is there are so many circumstances that can be categorised as abuse, that you, yourself may even be a victim.

Conquering Depression

When you're down and out and the world looks like the most miserable place to be in, all you can do is just feel uncontrollably sad and unhappy. The tears just flow at the most inopportune moments. You didn't choose to be that way it just sneaked up on you without you noticing. Now you find yourself stuck in a deep, dark, miserable hole where there seems to be no possibility of hope.

Eating for Strength 

You might think that if you have bulging biceps or large lats, you can lift from the rack with the heaviest weights. This is not the case, however. If you are not fuelling your body the right way, with the right foods, you will find that you will not perform as desired with the heavy weights. Training for strength requires the proper fuel for your body, which will help your muscles perform at their best in order to lift the most weight possible.

Entities & Attachments

I have encountered many strange and wonderful things on my path as healer, animal communicator and coach. Something that is not written about much or discussed is entities and attachments. And I feel more healers need to know and learn about it to help their clients.

Get the Honeymoon Phase Back


We all remember the honeymoon phase if we're in a long term relationship. The butterflies, the staying up until the early hours talking, laughing and learning about each other. The excitement of receiving a text from you partner. Even things such as shaving your legs and actually wearing a bit of slap on your face when you know he's coming around for a visit.

by Lisa Lee     Read More



Get Your Mojo Back

Whether we're married, single or in a relationship, most women feel frumpy and unsexy at some point in life. We let ourselves go a little-or a lot. Life becomes so stressful and going to the gym, waking up early to make up our faces and do our hair before work, and finding a great outfit to wear is just too much effort. Unfortunately in turn, this results in us losing our mojo and losing a lot of self esteem.

How Big is Your Brave? Discovering Your Theme Song

I left the world of Advertising and Branding to follow my dream: To facilitate personal development through self-acceptance & self-celebration. To create a safe space in which you can discover yourself through self-expression, self-exposure and exploration. To create a life you want to show up fully for! Taking the leap of faith to commit to my life's purpose was terrifying and thrilling all at the same time.

How much money do you spend on beauty products every year? Personally, I spend more money on beauty lotions and potions than I should, especially as I grow older each year. As women, most of us are petrified of pending wrinkles as each birthday passes, and it seems that the older we get, the more pricey our products get. SPF day creams, toners, anti-wrinkle creams and tiny tubs of eye cream that cost us silly amounts.

Refresh Your Body With a Detox

Do you ever feel like your body is crying out to you, telling you it needs a fresh start? This often happens after holidays where lots of junk is consumed, such as Christmas and Easter. The same can be said about alcohol, where overindulgence can lead to a tired, sluggish body and a general feeling of bad health. A detox is a means of ridding your body of toxins and can jump start your body to a natural sense of well being.

Taking Control of Your Life: What Not Falling Pregnant Teaches You

In an age where convenience is key, we get what we want, when we feel we want it and when we think we need it. As life gets faster, we look for short cuts to keep up with the pace – some work, others don’t. When we don’t get what we want we question why. We head to medical specialists asking questions (often not getting the answers we want), we blame ourselves, our partners, our mothers and we search for solutions, or we give up.

Trust: A Path to Failure or Success?


Trust is born out of Self Trust. How can you trust others if you don't trust yourself? How can you trust yourself, if you don't trust others? By trusting ourselves we are able to trust others and the world without. Those who distrust themselves suffer with their self-image, they feel guilty and defensive and always feel the need to prove themselves, they feel insecure.

Ignorance, Conditioning & Commitment

Most people have at some point expressed the desire for some form of change in one or more areas in their lives. However, making the commitment to do what is necessary to effect the desired change is something few are willing to do. Most would like their circumstances and situations to change, but few are willing to take full responsibility for their lives and make the necessary changes within themselves.

Healthy Kale & Portobello Lasagna

Ingredients

1 cup coarsely chopped drained jarred roasted red peppers
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
One 28-ounce can no-salt-added whole plum tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups grated part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 large egg whites
One 15-ounce container part-skim ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 portobello mushrooms, stems discarded, caps sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 small bunch kale, stems discarded, leaves - coarsely chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Nonstick cooking spray
9 sheets no-boil lasagna noodles, such as Barilla
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh parsley

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Puree the peppers, oregano, tomatoes, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the sugar in a food processor or blender until smooth and set aside. Mix 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese with the egg whites and ricotta cheese in a medium bowl.

2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they have released their liquid and are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the kale, in batches, and as it wilts add the pepper flakes, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt and continue to cook until the kale is wilted and bright green, an additional 5 minutes.

3. Mist a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Spread 3/4 cup of the sauce in the bottom of the dish. Top with 3 noodles, 1/2 of the ricotta mixture and 1/2 of the mushroom mixture. Repeat layers with sauce, noodles and remaining ricotta and mushrooms. Top with remaining noodles and sauce. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the noodles are tender and the sauce is bubbling around the edges of the pan, about 50 minutes.

4. Uncover, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup grated mozzarella and continue to bake until melted, about 5 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

A Woman of Strength
by Jan Brooks

A woman of strength,
Has courage to face the day,
And the confidence,
To handle whatever comes her way.

A woman of strength,
Has so much love to give,
And more compassion,
It gives her a reason to live.

A woman of strength,
Can face trouble with more hope,
Face adversity,
Always finding the strength to cope.

A woman of strength,
Can take the bad with the good,
And learn from it all,
With a sense of pride that’s understood.

A woman of strength,
Can conduct herself with grace,
Hold her head up high,
And dignity always has its place.

A woman of strength,
Can face almost anything,
And can look forward,
To what the future will possibly bring…


20 Powers of Creation
Number Drawn This Month Is...
by Sacred Journeys

In this feature, we will draw a number every month. The number that is drawn, represents one of the "20 POWERS OF CREATION"
What are the 20 powers of Creation?

The 20 Count finds its roots in the ancient cultures of Mesoamerica. It is one of the oldest forms of numerology and mathematics. Within it, can be described all that exists, including all unseen powers and energies, as well as the relationships of all life forms and all aspects of being human. Through these powers can be discovered how the universe came to exist and the infinite ways it has of expressing itself throughout time, space and dimension. You could say it is the ancient precursor to quantum physics, science, human psychology and physiology.
