June - July 2007 Healing House Gazette


Earth Healing Retreat

On the first weekend in May a group of 18 women went on a journey to the Grampians for a weekend of healing, celebration, connection and Earth Healing.

It was an absolutely wonderful weekend where we experienced amazing levels of co-operation, willingness, harmony and a whole bunch of fun.

I would like to congratulate and honour all those who stepped into the unknown with me – gave of themselves for their own healing and supporting the others with whom they journeyed.

It is a weekend that I will hold close to my heart for the rest of my days. I see your faces and smile.

Aum Shanti, Shanti, Shanti Aum

Welcome to this edition of The Healing House Gazette

We are living in a time of great change.

We all have choice around change. We can choose to connect with change with love or with fear. I have found that there are always two ways at looking at situations that are before us in our lives. We can look at our situation from a perspective of gloom and pain or from a perspective of challenge and opportunity.

I am observing that more and more of us are looking at what we would like to see happen in our lives and in our world rather than what we don’t want to see.

This attitude is creating an opportunity for attraction of that which we choose to have in our lives and with that a sense of inner calm and peace and optimism.

We are realizing that continuous fear and pain and anger and anguish don’t serve us. We are realizing that if we approach life from that perspective well, that is what we attract into our world.

I am observing that more and more of us are willing to live life with more and more respect for ourselves, our World and each other.

Sure there are many who don’t “get it” but if I were to focus on them I wouldn’t be noticing and celebrating those who are “getting it!”

We are changing our appreciation of food and its value, influence and impact on our life. Our appreciation of the Earth is changing. What was once considered as radical scuttlebutt is now high on the conservative social agenda.

Those who were once sceptical are standing up to listen. Natural Therapies were once shunned and considered to have no or little value.

Now more and more people are opening their eyes to the great benefit that Natural Therapies, Organic Food and Conservation can bring to each individual and the wider community as a whole.

I was recently watching a television program that was highlighting the journey of a surgeon who was diagnosed with a cancerous, life threatening tumour on his brain.

The irony of his story is that when he was diagnosed he was a highly regarded surgeon supporting and operating on patients with cancer at a major hospital in NSW.

Watching his story fascinated me. There he was going through a journey that he had witnessed so many times before. And one of his comments in particular fascinated and inspired me

He was talking to one of his fellow doctors who was asking for feedback of his journey as a patient.

One of his comments that I heard that made my heart sing was that he believed it would serve the hospital to be more open minded to the positive influence that alternative therapies could have on the treatment and support of patients.

The magic of this surgeon’s very challenging and horrific situation – the opportunity that presented itself from his challenge – was that they listened to him and now may be more willing to open the door of Alternative Health support for patients of the hospital.

The love and respect that the hospital staff feel for this man has created an opportunity for change that will ultimately support many who are unwell and those who support them through their disease and recovery.

Life can be a journey of wonder, mystery and delight if we are willing to see it that way – and it is so much more fun and easier than seeing the world as a place of pain and disharmony. May you be willing to enliven your spirit and dance with delight at the possibility and adventure that each day may bring – ‘cause then it just might!

With love, light and many blessings
