Happy New Year all! 

It seems a little late to be saying this but today is feeling more like the beginning of something new to me than the 1st of January did.  Today is new moon and also the Chinese New Year....the year of the Dragon! The year of the Dragon inspires thoughts of power, magic and strength in me, and it makes me feel very excited about the possibilities.

Being the first new moon for 2012 it feels like the perfect time to set the intention for the coming year and to plant seeds for the manifestation of the pathway ahead.

I am going out into the forest tonight to a gathering at a friends place, I’m really looking forward to it.  It will be wonderful to sit with people with conscious intention of creation. The seeds that I will be planting are all around my personal growth and my work and in particular my work with the Gateways to Consciousness cards....

Here is my exciting news! I am finally undertaking the task of self-publishing them!

This year will see them being professionally printed and made available as a beautiful full colour luscious and exquisite creation.  As I write I have an editor and graphic designer working on them in preparation for the transformation and manifestation into their new form. It’s so exciting!

 Of course my intention will extend to the prayer for all of humanity and the intention of contributing to the awakening and raising of our vibration and consciousness. I will also be focusing on the healing and repair of our beautiful planet. Lets hope that enough of us are working on this to inspire the shift and to influence the change we all know is possible.

 I have put a new Expressive Art Workshop on the creative workshops page that is being held in Tassie on the 18th of February.  Leading into the next full moon it is timed to support the continued manifestation and focus of creating a life with meaning and purpose.  Also for those on the main land I will be facilitating a few weekend retreat style workshops at Cornelia Elbrecht's beautiful Claerwen Retreat in Apollo bay later in the year. They are going to be fantastic weekends! More information to come soon. There will be more workshops announced as the year progresses. There will also be a launch for the cards and an exhibition in Melbourne when they have completed their transformation and are finally ready to go out into the world on a larger scale to do their work. How exciting!!!!!

Wishing you all the courage to shine brightly in your magnificence. Maybe we will cross paths upon the journey?  Thanks for supporting this work and allowing me to share with you.  I have included a new universal reading here for the occasion, I hope it inspires you to be your awesome self!

 

 What seeds are you planting today?

 

 

 Universal reading 23rd. January 2012

gateways reading Jan 2012Universal Reading 23 January 2012.

At a glance I am filled with a buzz of excitement and anticipation looking at this reading.

The intention with which I lay down the cards was to tap into the essence of universal consciousness.  I asked to be a conduit of information and insight for all souls awakening and to provide inspiration in the creation of the pathway forward through 2012.

I am not going to specifically interpret each of the cards as it would take way too long.  Instead I will give a general overview of the story that the cards are telling.

The beginning point was with the card at the very bottom.  It is the Communication card. What an amazing place to start.

The emphasis here is on self-expression but predominantly the use of communication in order to develop and strengthen the way we human beings are with each other. We must transcend the difficulty of relationship in order to embrace higher purpose and to be free to fulfil it. We are learning to get clear with ourselves and to then communicate that to others to avoid the trap of emotions being overwhelmed by miscommunication. Being a key it indicates the successful accomplishment of this task!

 The movement up into the round reflects the freedom to be found in the heart when the way we express ourselves in the world is a true reflection of ourselves rather than a construct designed to emulate what we want others to think of us. 

 The liberation card is there as a symbol to remind us that through the acceptance of self comes ultimate freedom and the acceptance of others.  The focus is on the heart and the throat.  Expressing the truth that lies in the heart in order to be set free.

 As this upward movement through the reading splits into the round the story continues to unveil the pull to mastery, to becoming that which is our ultimate purpose.  It makes sense that on the opposite side sits the depression card.  The challenge for us all it would seem is to stay focused on the opportunity for evolution and healing and growth as opposed to getting lost in the suffering, loss, grief and depression. 

We must empower ourselves in choice and focus! We can go through our changes with consciousness and thus minimize our suffering, knowing that everything will pass and that it is here to teach us something.  Always adopting the attitude: What is there to learn in the discomfort of what we are experiencing?

Through the round the cards speak of healing, truth, evolution and expansion. All concepts associated with the journey to discovering our magnificence and being it in the world.  The challenge is to stay committed to this path and to accept that in this process there is always the challenge of letting go of the limitations around seeing this in ourselves and others.  There is fear that arises around letting go of situations that do not reflect the essence of consciousness that we are.  There is also the matter of cleansing away the construct of the former self and it is up to us as to how painfully or easily we choose to do this.

The vision card reminds us to see the bigger picture. Pull up out of the over concern of details and to rise above circumstance into clear insight.

At the top of the round sits the cleansing card that speaks directly of letting go of baggage. Yes it speaks of tears and emotional release, but this doesn’t have to be seen as a bad thing. Ultimately what it symbolises is the release of attachment to the emotional pain we carry. Just think of the impact of this on a universal scale...Remember this is a universal reading.  Image if we all were able to release our pain and to come into our true selves.  How would the world look? 

 It would seem that this is really what this year is going to be about. There is lots of letting go of the old in order to herald in the new.  It is soooooo very important to maintain consciousness around why?  Why are we changing so much, why is the world changing so much, why are we being challenged so intensely?  Where do you as a human being stand in the evolution that is taking place?

The card at the very top indicates that the answer to that question is honour.  We are learning to honour and respect ourselves, each other and this magnificent planet we live with.  Our consciousness is expanding to see the interconnectedness of all things and how we as individuals fit into the great web of life!  This is the shift that we as a collective must make now in order to usher in a new way for humanity.  Each individual taking this journey ultimately contributes to the whole and if enough of us do this we will without doubt affect the course that humanity will now take.

The honour card is a silver card and the silver cards are all about fulfilling the life purpose.  In this shift we can free ourselves from being driven by patterns and conditioning that is not inherently who we are into alignment with the life we were meant to live.  The life that reflects the true contribution we are here to make.

When I asked how to maintain balance in the midst of such rapid growth I lay down the two cards in the centre as the answer.  They are the Earth Angel and Joy.  That made me smile!  So we just need to remember that we are indeed earth angels here to fulfil a “mission” and that we are supported on this journey. We are also encouraged to find joy in our hearts knowing that in this place we get to experience the essence of being an angel here on this glorious earth!

Dream up big you beautiful Angel, embrace your magnificence and have a fantastic 2012!!!!!

with love

Helena.
