Come and join myself and Ariane in Rio as we share a morning of relaxation and self awareness through yoga and reflexology! It's always fun when the Universe brings souls together for friendships to be formed... only to find we have shared visions and so much more in common. Ariane and I met at a rather formal meeting for foreigners living in Rio. It turned out we were both secretly wanting to let our hair down, laugh, skip and have some fun being ourselves instead of minding our p's & q's and being every so polite and reserved! Since that morning we have run with the wind and followed our intuition and here we are with a new workshop experience to share! The Universe always knows best!

Also in September I am offering personal 3 hour workshops in Self Help with Reflexology or Foot Whispering, as well as Reiki I & II and Reiki Refresher workshops. Please do get in touch with me for more details or to book your personal treatments... and yes, there are special offers on treatment packages too!

Wishing you all a magical weekend,

Sally xx



About the workshop
The main idea of this workshop is to develop perception and awareness of the regions where the main chakras are located in the body, recognizing tensions and blockages, and restoring the flow of energy through yoga postures, breathing, mantras, and visualization. To enhance the feelings of relaxation and well being promoted by the yoga, we move on to using reflexology (working in pairs) to learn the techniques of the chakra energy foot massage. No experience in yoga or reflexology is necessary as you will be gently guided throughout. A light lunch will be provided after the workshop.

Steve Judd's monthly Forecast.

Steve Judd continues with his unique insight into this month's Sun Signs.

Global
 
The global situation is confused, to say the least.  Mercury is retrograde in the middle of Virgo until the 12th/13th, so there’s going to be no sense found until then, just a puddle of confusion and lack of focus.  After this things will begin to clear up, and by Equinox enough information will be available to make clear decisions.  At the same time, on the 23rd, there a full Moon at the very start of Aries, a hugely topical place at this time, suggesting of further additions to the fray and more upping of the ante wherever you are... Go here for more... and all your September Sun Signs >>

I can still remember the wave of goosebumps from that afternoon a couple of years ago. I had ended up in Farnham because I’d messed up my dates and accommodation arrangements while touring with Chris Stormer-Fryer in Ireland. Duh! We landed late at night into the UK and I gratefully accepted an offer to join Chris at her brother’s home and spend the night on the couch.

After a refreshing sleep (it was one of those huge comfy sofas!) Chris had arranged to catch up with her friend Heather Golding and having heard so much about Heather and her adventures in Hawaii with the dolphins, I was really excited to finally meet her.

We met in a coffee shop, ordered huge lattes and then hardly touched them as the energy and the conversation took off and flowed. Heather was in the process of making her CD Kutara and she had some of the tracks with her, so stretching the tiny earphones between us, I heard for the first time, the voice of an angel. It was just stunning. She also showed us some of her healing circle designs... and they are mesmerizing in their detail and energy. But it gets even better!

We all then went on the short walk through the cobbled streets to St Andrews Church in Farnham where Heather recorded Kutara accompanied by harpist Victoria Davies. The church was empty and it had a beautiful peaceful feel to it and as Chris and I wandered in, Heather started to sing. We were both just rooted to the spot as Heather’s voice soared through the high arches... crystal pure and straight from the heart. She doesn’t know what she is going to sing, she just hands herself over and the healing voice flows. Each track on Kutara is improvised heart singing to reflect the healing energies of colour to soothe the soul.

To hear some experts from Kutara and see some of the inspirational 500 Healing Circles you can visit Heather’s site: www.huulanaya.com

Welcome to Universally Rio, Heather, we’re delighted to share your beautiful energy through our pages!

It’s official! I’m a tweeter! Sharing SoleWhispering tweets for the soul, words of inspiration and insight to help you on your way. Come with me as we move through these unchartered planetary shifts and elevating energies, gaining strength from each other’s knowledge and presence under the ever guiding, all loving and all knowing Universe. Together and as One.

But let me share a bit more than a 140 character tweet here... because it’s by being open enough to honestly share our own experiences that we can learn and assist each other.

My last few weeks have had such highs and lows and with such a myriad of emotions and sensations that at times it has been completely overwhelming and draining. Such an intense physical fatigue that made getting out of bed feel like a marathon combined with a thick mental fog and detached, out of body feeling that put normal life on hold. Outbreaks of acne, crying for no reason, unusual headaches, bouts of nausea and an inability to cope with even the smallest of tasks. My amazing and ever patient husband remained calm and supportive while I seemed to fall apart in front of his very eyes.

It’s only by revealing what we are going through that we can gain the needed insights, heal and move on. It’s ok to ask for help. It’s ok to admit to what feels like failure. It’s ok to have ‘bad’ days. We are, after all, here to learn from the ‘human’ experience, but I also believe many of us are here to show the way forward and to anchor the light into the dense energies of this physical world. And we can’t do that if we are continually pretending that “I’m fine!” and remaining stuck in behavioural patterns that prevent the truth from being seen.

As a child I was raised behind a facade of politeness and the infamous British stiff upper lip. It prevented me from asking for help or even admitting to myself that I needed it. But this time I let it all hang out ... well almost. Old habits die hard. There seemed no explanation. My angel cards have been telling me for many months now to take time out, but this felt more than a physical tiredness to be remedied through a holiday. But let’s not get pulled in the vortex of my own drama and self-pity here!

The path we are walking as we approach 2012 is a journey of our human consciousness awakening and evolving. It’s about becoming the light beings that we are; it’s about leaving behind the heavy, dense, material, physical world that currently revolves around violence, greed, money and fear and moving towards a world that can live in peace, harmony, light and love. It’s about changing our priorities; it’s about embracing and understanding our Oneness with each other, our divine Source and the Universe. It’s about living as our true soul essence.

But if we feel we can’t express what we are going through along this path (perhaps because of fear of other peoples’ reactions) then we can’t share, we can’t learn from each other and we can’t support each other. It’s all very well giving each other superficial hugs for a meditation well done, but if we aren’t honest in our hearts about the tangible effects these energies and shifts are having in our everyday lives, then we will remain as fixed and as blocked as the most human of humans! And so through my fog, I found myself posting a blog on the www.naturallyuniversal.ning.com community. And ... it brought some fascinating insights!

But more than that, I found understanding, solace and courage. And today the heaviness doesn’t overwhelm and I haven’t cried. Instead, I’m off in search of the healthy fresh foods that my body is craving, I’m going to find new yoga classes as my body is longing to stretch & strengthen through sacred movement and I am going to listen to my intuition. I now accept that I do need to rest, meditate and do more of the stuff that makes me feel good. And I’m also going to continue to be honest and open about myself and my path because where there is openness, there is nothing hidden to fear. As healers and light workers, it is up to us to show the way by example, even if it means admitting to having ‘non fluffy’ days, but it is our openness and our courage that will inspire others to walk and stay on the path towards Oneness, no matter how bumpy it may become.

My love and hugs to you all, Sally xx

June 2010 Vibrational Predictions by Roseline Deleu

LIFE PATH –A brand new path is opening up for you this month. Have a peak to what this new life style has to offer and seriously consider taking a safe step for you in this new direction. You are definitely ready to let go of the old patterns and ‘shred’ them away from you! Initially, it might take you outside of your comfort zone and push your boundaries, but you will see that in a few months you will wonder why you did not opt for this new life style earlier!

LOVE – You step back and observe what is happening in your relationship. Your partner finds you ‘cold’ and distant. Be more flexible and let go of your tendency of stubbornness. After all, you are living this life only to enjoy it!

FAMILY – Are you nurturing others too much? This month, for both men and women, please check your breasts and potential lumps under your armpits. Book yourself a Vichy shower, a massage, a facial and indulge!

WEALTH – You are really ready to stop your old spending habits. Make a promise to yourself for this month to think twice before you purchase... When you take something in your hands, genuinely ask yourself: “Do I really need this?” you will be amazed how much you don’t.

YOU – Strong, refined and elegant this is who you truly are. You deserve all the compliments given to you. Instead of being embarrassed, simply say: ‘Yes, Thank You! the person giving you the compliment also enjoys being right and acknowledged – had you ever thought of that!?

HELP and HELPERS – Embrace the Feminine in you and in others. In June many women come to the rescue, be one of them and help others too, gently, in full respect without interfering.

CHILDREN & CREATIONS – Wear Amber as jewel if you own any. Wear Amber coloured clothes. Feel its warmth helping you creating amazing projects and smooth contact with children.

STUDY, OPENNESS – All is possible!

SELF CONFIDENCE – Avoid alcohol and heavy food as they are holding you on a low vibration. June is your time to detox, drink water and definitely purify your aura and your home. Smoke white sage or incense moving it counter-clockwise to release heavy energies, then clockwise to protect.

Roseline Deleu’s digitally created designs leading to these June 2010 predictions, can be seen when watching her short video clip on “FengShuiSteps” YouTube Channel – Enjoy!
