Spring Equinox and Happy Easter Blessings to you all!
Well my goodness the Equinox energies are sure stirring things up energy-wise, as well as the imminent Full Moon pulling us. (Have you noticed how the animals are reacting already to the energies? We've got skitty kitties and either moping or loopy dogs everywhere!)
The local human population tends to get a bit rowdy around here on Full Moon, so we shall stay home and close the curtains and let the loons enjoy the Full Moon energies.
This is such an auspicious time for us all. All of these energies (and the effects of the planets at the moment) are pulling us into change whether we want it or not. The pull is so strong that it would be futile to resist it. Some have already started making changes in their lives, they have pulled themselves up by the bootstraps and are doing what has needed doing for so long. Whether that is finally taking control of your health or your finances, your work or your relationships, your balance between doing and being etc. We are finding inner strength and power to speak our truth and to stand up for what we really want now, and the good thing is that most of the time this is being received well by the others around us. In fact when you do this, you inspire them to do the same. By being courageous you give them the courage to make some kind of change in their own lives.
This Year of the Rat is a year where if we really put our noses to the grindstone we will reap multiple rewards next year. It's a year to work hard and to do it all step by step. That is the key to this year, taking things step by step and building a solid foundation this year for all areas of our lives.
Lately I have been taking a look at the different sections in my Wheel of Life and revising what I want in each section, plus how much I want it and the steps I need to take to start making it happen. I am grateful that we are being given the opportunity to take things step by step, it allows us to think things through thoroughly and plan accordingly. (That doesn't mean that spontaneity is out, on the contrary it can be a blessed relief at times!).
So take a look at your Wheel of Life, what seeds do you want to sow? Where do you want to build more solid foundations? What needs improving? What don't you need any more? What would you like more of?
Wherever you are, have fun and celebrate the beauty and magic of Spring.
May the Easter Bunny bring you many surprises in his/her Easter Basket and may your eggs hatch many beautiful things for you over this coming year.
Spring Blessings to you and yours.

ASCENSION SYMPTOMS - March 2008
Well that has to be the most interesting Mercury retrograde period I have ever been through. Usually in our house we come through Merc Rx fairly unscathed but not this time. In the home we had several computer glitches and the TV and digital box were very temperamental. On the plus side we got several things fixed and replaced that needed doing and I got more done in the house. On the business front I completed some long outstanding jobs and what a relief to finally get them done. But it was on the personal side for me that Mercury retrograde really came into its own. Mercury pulled me back to take a look at what was holding me back and decided it was time for me to deal with it. This is the first time I have ever felt this during a Mercury Rx. I sent a prayer out to the Universe to guide me to the person who would be able to help and, in typical Elly fashion, it was someone I knew and the opportunity was right under my nose. Here are the details:-
There are times when we all need a coach (even coaches need coaches!). I have been on a self developmental pathway for over 30 years and despite being trained in many therapeutic and healing disciplines, my own strong mind and stubborn will can still get in my way. I thought if this lady can help me to get out of my own way (and crack a tough nut like me) then she can help anybody!
I came across Amanda Goldston’s CHANGING LIVES programme and it was exactly what I needed. The timing was also perfect, as well as Merc Rx we were in the Eclipse window. The creative process that unfolded during our sessions revealed so much that was surprising, helpful and healing. As well as providing a selection of tools to work with, Amanda’s intuition was spot on with so many things and really helped to steer the sessions in the right way. (As an intuitive myself, I found this very helpful).
By the end of the programme, I was re-energised and more excited about my work than I have been in months. My state of overwhelm turned into something more structured and I now have a great plan to work with that I am very excited about. And I am a much happier Elly! She did it. Amanda managed to crack open a stubborn old nut like me and get to the good bits in a fun, productive and thoroughly enjoyable way. FFI: visit http://www.changinglivescoaching.com/
Amanda (a former Guest Contributor to our monthly E-newsletter) is greatly experienced in the business world and its technologies, as well as that she is a sensitive Intuitive and a downright lovely lady!
ASCENSION SYMPTOMS
Well the recent Eclipses sure shook things up and turned the stressometer up to the max! The Eclipse window (the time between the Eclipses) was unbearable for some folks who felt about as stretched as they could be. And throughout the world murders and violence increased, sadly around the time of Valentine’s. Many Sensitives and Lightworkers have been feeling really fed up, exhausted and wondering what the hell it is all for.
Physically - there have been back aches again (the area of your back will determine the issues that you were being asked to face) and neck ache which caused headaches. There have been snuffly cold-like symptoms and stomach upsets (which in usual Ascension style went as quickly as they came). You may have found that the areas of your body where the stress was being held (and that can be anywhere on the body) became bloated and swollen and felt downright uncomfortable. For me, after doing so much clearing work, I have been shedding skin like a snake as I shed off the old me and reveal the new me.
Emotionally and Mentally - y’all know what a rollercoaster ride it has been! One minute you are feeling peaceful and totally happy with your life and the next you are crying enough to fill the entire ocean! At the time of writing things seem to have settled, but I do wonder if this is the lull before the energies for the Spring Equinox start to build.
Spiritually - don’t neglect this side of yourselves. Spiritually nourishing yourselves will help all the other levels. So do make plenty of time for meditation and quiet contemplation, the clearer you are about what you want the more the Universe can move things into place for you. If you feel worried and uncertain, stop and take time out to rest and think and pray until you feel more clear about your purpose. There are times when you simply have to put yourself first. Heal yourself first. Get yourself fit and well first. And then you will have the strength and sense of purpose to cope with your life and the individuals in it.
Remember 2007 has gone, it is finished, it is over – but have you really let go of it yet? Or are you still trying to do things the same old way? Are you still blaming? As I have said before, the old ways of doing things are not working, that is why we are in a ‘one’ year. Remember that this year is about finding new ways of doing things, of laying our foundations for the next ten years with new ideas, new systems, new ways of loving, doing, being. The only type of going back we need to do is ‘retrieval’, similar to soul retrieval, finding those valuable shining parts of ourselves that we thought had gone forever and bringing them back to us, incorporating and integrating them, so that who we are now can shine brighter than ever. Who are you? Who do you want to be? How do you see yourself? How do you see yourself over the next ten years? This year is the start of that decade, this is the year to start living and being who you really are and who you really want to be.
Be kind over the coming weeks to yourselves and to others, as we build up towards the Spring Equinox. (The quarter festivals are always preceded by intense energies). Although I do feel that the intense pressure we had in February has now gone and March sees us going through a readjustment and settling phase as we prepare to launch ourselves and our projects with the new Spring energies. Whilst going through this phase you may panic and feel as if you have lost your motivation, well there’s no need to panic, allow yourselves to relax for a while until you feel your creative energies stirring up again. You will know when you are back on track and ready to go for it, so in the meantime allow yourselves a few days to chill and fettle around until your energy gives you the green light that your motivation is ready, willing and back on track. Don’t push the river, go with the flow and all will be well.
Support yourself and each other and celebrate the Equinox, celebrate the seeds you are planting for your future, turn your face to Grandfather Sun and thank Him for His lifegiving energy. This could be the best Spring you have ever had.
I personally am so grateful to Mercury and the Eclipses for waking me up to what I needed to get rid of. Eclipses always shake things up to reveal to us things that we have been refusing to see so that we can take action and move forward. This is such an amazing year of opportunity for us on all levels, let’s all hold hands and take a big leap together!
Please Note:

If you have concerns about your health, I strongly advise you to see a qualified medical practitioner.

The dance of dis-ease
I have just returned from a trip to Ireland to see my relatives. We didn't get there in time before my Uncle John died and we also missed his funeral as it was two days later (they bury them quick in Ireland).
My uncle John died of liver cancer. I have been wondering why did he manifest this? As a therapist I am more than aware of the mind-body connection and have seen conditions reverse in clients so know its value and merit. John never drank, never smoked, I don't ever remember hearing him curse or say a bad word about anyone, he was a quietly spoken, kind man with twinkling eyes and a dry sense of humour. He was very caring, adored his family and work (he was the town's undertaker and also ran a garage). Him and his wife have diligently tended to my father's grave for us (he is buried at the graveyard in Ireland where many of my family are and now sadly John has joined them).
Whilst in Ireland I heard about something that happened in his childhood and wondered whether that was a contibuting factor, but he seemed to have gotten over that and was able to speak about it without too much trauma. So that didn't seem to fit for me. Was it the Gilbert's Syndrome that runs through that side of the family (his sister, my aunty Vonnie also died of liver cancer when she was 49)? Although that is not supposed to be a life threatening disease. Then one of my relatives told me that John had made a pact with God a few years ago, to take the cancer away from his daughter who had it (she had breast cancer) and that he would gladly take it on so that she could be free to look after her young children and have a good life. He gave thanks for his life and said that he had had his children and watched them grow and now it was her turn. Is this what happened?
All of my training and theories seemed to have gone out the window and I was left wondering whether we can really say the mind-body theory works.
I also saw clearly how far I have managed to come in my lifetime in overcoming some of the cultural downsides to being Irish. As well as the genetic poverty consciousness there is a mawkish need to continually talk about what is wrong. One of my aunts always talks about terrible things that have happened or are happening, I don’t think she even realises it. As we were driving down a road, she would point out things such as “that’s where so and so was killed in a car crash”, or “the man that lives in that house lost his son…..” etc etc. They do tend to indulge in the awfulness of everything and that is quite a heavy energy. The awfulness of things is what unites them. But as a therapist I know that they are attracting more awfulness because that is all they concentrate on. This Aunt is borderline leukaemia and not well at all, her daughter-in-law who is in her 20s and has a 3 year old son has been battling with leukaemia for the past four years – has she taken on her daughter-in-law's illness? Is their love for their family so great that they are taking on their illnesses? Is this part of their Soul contract?
Since coming home and reflecting on all of the above, I still believe in the mind-body connection as I have reversed health conditions in myself for the better (according to one Harley Street medical practitioner I should have been in a wheelchair by now) so I know it works.
There is so much depth to this subject, so much of it is to do with the free will of the individual. Another elderly relative passed on some great advice, he said "don't keep asking yourself why. You won't get the answers you seek. You will destroy yourself if you keep asking why." When I think of some of the major traumatic events in my life and the lives of those I love, this is good advice.
For now I am choosing to believe that the mind-body connection is relevant, that through our thoughts we can choose to create wellness or illness within our physical beings.
I would love to know your views on this subject (especially if you are a healthcare professional, healer or therapist).

Total Lunar Eclipse
The Eclipse window closes with tomorrow's Total Lunar Eclipse. It has been an intense Eclipse season and the effects of tomorrow's Lunar Eclipse will be with us for the next 5-6 months.
It has been kicking our butts to really let go of the old ways of doing, living, being and loving. If we try to bury our heads in the sand or go into denial these eclipses will bring about events to really kick us into touch.
In this 'one' year, we have been given the most amazing opportunity to completely re-write and re-do our lives in whatever way we want. If you have been meaning to change a bad habit, improve your health/mind/emotions, change your image, change jobs/relationships/location, the kick-ass eclipse energy is going to help you do it. You have to make the decision that the time is now. You have to decide that the time is finally here to get off your butt and get on with it. And the wonderful thing is, the Universe will support you, you are not going to be alone. You have to take total responsibility for your life now on every level.
We finally get the chance to show the world our True Selves, no more hiding behind the masks of who everyone else thinks we should be, or staying stuck in that comfortable old rut, it's time to throw back the cloaks that have been hiding our magnificence and proudly present ourselves to the waiting world. The world needs you. The world needs your light, your love and your amazing talents. It's time to get our act together, hold hands and show off for a change!
So treat yourself to that new make-over on whatever level you need it. There is a world waiting for you.
Blessings

- Buying yourself some Valentines choccies
- Putting a bottle of your favourite bubbly in the fridge for later
- Going for a walk to your favourite nature spot
- Going to your favourite place for lunch

- Watching your favourite romantic movie/s [I wonder if I can convince my hubby to let me watch Dirty Dancing tonight? :-) ]
- Cooking something incredible for yourself to eat tonight, setting the table with candles and heart shaped sprinkles, using your best china, glass and cutlery and the posh napkins.
-Curling up at the end of the day, wrapped in your favourite throw/blanket, glass of something nice in hand, choccies at your side, listening or watching something you love and giving thanks for today, for the opportunity to share the love vibe with everybody today.
May you be blessed with an abundance of love every day of your lives.

ASCENSION TIPS February + Feng Shui update
How y’all doing then? Well there has been some post New Year fall-out as setting our good intentions for the year has led to a short, sharp period of clearing old stuff. Here we have noticed an increase in requests for The Healing Prayers Circle which is always another indicator of how people are coping with the energies and what they are coping with. Many are preparing to leave their Earthwalk and cross over, it is as if the Spring Equinox is already pulling a lot of them and I would not be surprised if they will have left by the time the Vernal Equinox comes around. All in all January has been an interesting journey which we continue to ride out during February.
ASCENSION SYMPTOMS
Some have experienced a lot of pain in the body, especially in the neck, middle and lower back. Some have had aching arms and hands, some ankles and feet. Others have had problems with their teeth and mouths. We have been shifting some really old stuff and it has been painful at times to say the least. Thankfully this phase didn’t last long.
However after it ended a lot of us were feeling a bit fuzzy and woolly headed and suddenly seemed to have lost our impetus. This has been frustrating for those who were making great strides with their intentions for this year. But all is not lost yet. As you know these phases come and go as part of our Ascension process. The most important thing is to keep your eye on the prize/goal and keep heading in that direction with an open heart and mind and trusting that the Universe will guide your way. Your energy will pick up again and you will get yourselves back on track, it’s just that sometimes when we shift old stuff we need a little rest, a little period of integration before we get back on track again.
Emotionally some have been through the wringer as they have been sifting and sorting what really has to go in this ‘one’ year and some tough decisions have had to be made. Allow yourselves the space to grieve for what you are leaving behind. You know that you have made the right decision/s, now you need to allow yourself to ride the waves of emotions that are involved until you come out the other side of it all. You already know that you are growing in strength with each decision you make and that you will not regret any of this.
Spiritually a great deal has been happening. After all the hard work and processing last year we have been retuned and are continually being refined like a precious gemstone so that we shine our brightest this coming year. There have been great highs spiritually for some, with a stronger connection and understanding of the messages coming through and feeling as if you really are being looked after by a benevolent, loving force.
Follow the Ascension code for wellbeing as outlined in the ‘Ascension Tips’ book (if you don’t have a copy, contact us for the details) and keep taking your ‘Ascension Support’ essence. I take mine every morning, it seems to settle down all that has gone on in dreamtime (which I have to say has been extremely active this past month) and helps me to feel balanced before I start my day.
Please Note:
These Ascension updates are for information purposes only and are not intended to diagnose any kind of dis-ease or malady you may be experiencing. If you have concerns about your health, I strongly advise you to see a qualified medical practitioner. (Don’t get carried away in spiritual la-la land and override any messages that your body may be trying to give you). If in doubt – check it out!
FENG SHUI DIARIES – Update
Well Chinese New Year is nearly upon us, am I ready – nope! I am getting there but I am not too worried if I don’t quite manage to get everything done. The Chinese New Year festival lasts two weeks so I am sure I will get most of it done by the time this lovely festival ends.
On the eve of Chinese New Year you will need to take down all of last year’s Feng Shui cures and throw out your salt cures (best way is to tip them down the loo and flush away immediately). Some companies say that you shouldn’t re-use last year’s items, well I don’t agree as not everyone can afford to keep buying a new set every year. Washing them thoroughly then smudging them with sage (ensuring you have at least one window open when you do this) will banish any residual negativity, you can also use ‘The Cleanser’ spray mist for this (it’s quicker and easier to use this instead and your house won’t smell of sagey smoke – which I don’t mind actually as I absolutely love the smell of sweet sage).
If you haven’t managed to get everything done, try to ensure that you have at least done these two things; (1) emptied all of your cupboards, fridge/freezer etc of all out of date stuff and disposed of them, (2) thoroughly clean the kitchen especially the cooker before Chinese New Year.
Traditionally the Chinese would never use knives or scissors on Chinese New Year as they believed this would cut their luck for the coming year. So they would prepare all the food in advance and plan foods that could be eaten without needing to be cut.
My favourite tradition (taught to me by a Chinese Malaysian friend) is to use incense to welcome in the Spirits on Chinese New Year, you open your front door and use the incense to usher on the spirits of the New Year. You open the back door and use the incense to welcome in the spirits of your ancestors to share your feast and to provide protection for you and your home for the coming year.
Place a beautiful bowl with 9 oranges (or tangerines/satsumas/clementines) in the centre of your living room and kitchen to welcome in the Chinese New Year, they represent abundance on all levels. Have a lovely Chinese meal and enjoy the blessings this coming year will bring for you.
We have lots of reasons to celebrate this month, so make the most of it and have fun!
Blessings to you all

ASCENSION SYMPTOMS
Some have experienced a lot of pain in the body, especially in the neck, middle and lower back. Some have had aching arms and hands, some ankles and feet. Others have had problems with their teeth and mouths. We have been shifting some really old stuff and it has been painful at times to say the least. Thankfully this phase didn’t last long.
However after it ended a lot of us were feeling a bit fuzzy and woolly headed and suddenly seemed to have lost our impetus. This has been frustrating for those who were making great strides with their intentions for this year. But all is not lost yet. As you know these phases come and go as part of our Ascension process. The most important thing is to keep your eye on the prize/goal and keep heading in that direction with an open heart and mind and trusting that the Universe will guide your way. Your energy will pick up again and you will get yourselves back on track, it’s just that sometimes when we shift old stuff we need a little rest, a little period of integration before we get back on track again.
Emotionally some have been through the wringer as they have been sifting and sorting what really has to go in this ‘one’ year and some tough decisions have had to be made. Allow yourselves the space to grieve for what you are leaving behind. You know that you have made the right decision/s, now you need to allow yourself to ride the waves of emotions that are involved until you come out the other side of it all. You already know that you are growing in strength with each decision you make and that you will not regret any of this.
Spiritually a great deal has been happening. After all the hard work and processing last year we have been retuned and are continually being refined like a precious gemstone so that we shine our brightest this coming year. There have been great highs spiritually for some, with a stronger connection and understanding of the messages coming through and feeling as if you really are being looked after by a benevolent, loving force.
Follow the Ascension code for wellbeing as outlined in the ‘Ascension Tips’ book (if you don’t have a copy, contact us for the details) and keep taking your ‘Ascension Support’ essence. I take mine every morning, it seems to settle down all that has gone on in dreamtime (which I have to say has been extremely active this past month) and helps me to feel balanced before I start my day.
Please Note:
These Ascension updates are for information purposes only and are not intended to diagnose any kind of dis-ease or malady you may be experiencing. If you have concerns about your health, I strongly advise you to see a qualified medical practitioner. (Don’t get carried away in spiritual la-la land and override any messages that your body may be trying to give you). If in doubt – check it out!
FENG SHUI DIARIES – Update
Well Chinese New Year is nearly upon us, am I ready – nope! I am getting there but I am not too worried if I don’t quite manage to get everything done. The Chinese New Year festival lasts two weeks so I am sure I will get most of it done by the time this lovely festival ends.
On the eve of Chinese New Year you will need to take down all of last year’s Feng Shui cures and throw out your salt cures (best way is to tip them down the loo and flush away immediately). Some companies say that you shouldn’t re-use last year’s items, well I don’t agree as not everyone can afford to keep buying a new set every year.

Shared Wisdom
A dear friend recently sent this to me, (it's an e-mail that has been doing the rounds so I don't know the name of the author).
I found it very inspirational and a great reminder.
Once upon a time, there was this girl who had four boyfriends.
She loved the 4th boyfriend the most and adored him with rich robes and treated him to the finest of delicacies. She gave him nothing but the best.
She also loved the 3rd boyfriend very much and was always showing him off to neighboring kingdoms. However, she feared that one day he would leave her for another.
She also loved her 2nd boyfriend. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with her. Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her get through the difficult times.
The girl's 1st boyfriend was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom.
However, she did not love the first boyfriend. Although he loved her deeply, she hardly took notice of him!
One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short. She thought of her luxurious life and wondered, "I now have four boyfriends with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone."
Thus, she asked the 4th boyfriend, "I loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"No way," replied the 4th boyfriend, and he walked away without another word.
His answer cut like a sharp knife right into her heart.
The sad girl then asked the 3rd boyfriend, "I loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?""No!" replied the 3rd boyfriend. "Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to marry someone else!"
Her heart sank and turned cold.
She then asked the 2nd boyfriend, "I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd boyfriend. "At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave."
His answer struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the girl was devastated.
Then a voice called out: "I'll go with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go."
The girl looked up, and there was her first boyfriend. He was very skinny as he suffered from malnutrition and neglect.
Greatly grieved, the girl said, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!"
In truth, you have 4 "boyfriends" in your lives:
Your 4th boyfriend is your body. No matter how much time and effort you lavish in making it look good, it will leave you when you die.
Your 3rd boyfriend are your possessions, status and wealth. When you die, it will all go to others.
Your 2nd boyfriend is your family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for you, the furthest they can stay by you is up to the grave.
And your 1st boyfriend is your Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world.
However, your Soul is the only thing that will follow you wherever you go; cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of you that will follow you to the throne of God and continue with you throughout Eternity.
Thought for the day: Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray.
Pass this on to someone you care about - I just did.
Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect.
It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.
