So here it is: another New Year! How's it been for you so far? More of the same? A whole new fresh start? Whatever it brings and whatever you're experiencing, I wish you an amazing year to come.
I had a very quiet and peaceful time over the holiday season. I seemed to need a long time of just being, taking a complete time out, just for me (part of the reason why you're only getting a January newsletter now!. It's somthing of a 'bumper' issue so take a breather, sit back and enjoy!)
This time of going inward got me thinking about how we nourish ourselves, how we take care of ourselves.
We say it so often, don't we: "Take care" or "Look after yourself".
But do we do it? What does it mean to take care of ourselves?
I've been taking a good look at how I take care of myself, asking myself what serves me, what brings me joy, what nourishes me in all my many facets. For me, taking care of myself can be simple things like not sitting for long periods at the computer on cold winter days without getting up to do some Chi Kung or go out for a walk. It can mean spending time in nature as often as possible. It can mean saying no sometimes. It definitely means listening, moment by moment, to my inner guidance, as to what I would most like to be expending my energy or focus on. And it can mean doing very little sometimes and just being.
I've created a short piece on my Resources page to help you take a fresh look at what might nurture you, how you might really begin to take care of you.
So now that we are emerging into this new year of 2009 and beginning to feel its energy it seems to me that more than ever before, we are being called to be true to ourselves, to honour and acknowledge ourselves for who we are and to let go of ways of being that no longer work for us.
If, this year, we could just allow the universe and our own
souls to bring us exactly the right circumstances, people, situations,
events and opportunities, and find our divine flow in life without
worrying about outcomes or expectations, how much lighter and more joyful could we be!
If you're ready to do something new and inspiring this year, or feel ready to break out of your old routines and patterns, check out some of the workshops, groups and events happening in and around the Salisbury area (see below).
Here's an image called New Energy by my friend Izumi Omori, who's a very talented artist and energy worker from Japan, living in Cornwall (www.izumiomori.co.uk). It feels appropriate for this new year somehow. Sit and look at it with a soft focus and let its lovely energy flow to you.......
With love

A Blessing for Presence
John O'Donohue
May you awaken to the mystery of being here and enter the quiet immensity of your own presence.
May you have joy and peace in the temple of your senses.
May you receive great encouragement when new frontiers beckon.
May you respond to the call of your gift and find the courage to follow its path.
May the flame of anger free you from falsity.
May warmth of heart keep your presence aflame, and anxiety never linger about you.
May your outer dignity mirror an inner dignity of soul.
May you take time to celebrate the quiet miracles that seek no attention.
May you be consoled in the secret symmetry of your soul.
May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven around the heart of wonder.

Morning Messages
Through Peggy Black
Most humans perform their tasks and activities mentally absent from the action. They are thinking of something else. Their mind is traveling to the past and to the future. Rarely do they stay fully present in the NOW.
This is especially true of mundane tasks, repeated over and over, day in and day out. There is an automatic behavior that performs the task and the human is not fully aware or conscious of the energy or any difference in the grid or field. By not being fully in the NOW they don't bring their consciousness of light to the moment.
Most humans stay in the activities of the mind. They allow the mind free rein of the day and the energy that flows through the body. They are spendthrifts in regards to the divine transformational energy that is given upon each breath, unaware of the power they have to shift any activity they are involved with.
They complete one task in order to complete another, like a duty totally absent of any feeling or heart connection. It is time to develop the keen awareness that no matter what you are doing in your daily life, it is affecting the entire universal matrix. We repeat; anything you are doing affects the matrix.
The mundane job of taking out the trash can be a moment of divine transformation for you and for the energy grid if you bring your full presence into the activity. You can infuse the trash with light in such a manner that wherever it goes it also shifts the surrounding energy of everything and everyone it touches.
Step into the sacred awareness that you have the power to infuse toxic low vibrations with uplifting transforming cosmic vibrations at all times. Practice bringing this incredible divine light into everything that you do.
The more you bring your consciousness into the NOW and stay in your heart frequency the quicker your reality will shift and transform. It is the dwelling on the past and the projecting into the future that keeps you from dancing in the NOW.
The NOW moment is where the power is. The NOW moment is a place of sacred balance. The NOW moment offers a clear pure portal for manifestation.

Everyone has at least one passion. Every heart harbors some secret joy.
Many of us have simply lost hope, or forgotten.
NOW is our time to remember! NOW is the time to move towards that passion.
Step by step. Little by little.
Don't worry about doing what you "should." That's a paper tiger.
What is it that you REALLY WANT, deep down in your soul?
What makes your heart skip a beat, and your blood flow faster in your veins?
The more you follow after that, the more ENERGY you attract to
yourself.........FLAMES, which have power to warm your spirit, and lift it higher and higher.
Do what you can, right where you are. Begin by TELLING ONE PERSON
what your passion is. Take a risk. Passion shared is passion multiplied.
Step to the line. If you can't speak it, write it.
Once the energy is given a chance to breathe.......it takes on a life of its own.
If you encounter obstacles in realizing your passion, don't give up.
Step back, give the situation time to "breathe".......and go do
something easy.... something fun. Play. Doodle.
Do something "pointless," to restore a sense of FLOW.
Or do something simple, that carries no resistance with it.
When you feel relaxed, replenished, go back and check on your passion again.
Still stuck? Keep flowing. Let that situation be.
Go inside and reaffirm your desire......letting go of doubt.
If your brain is screaming "Try harder!" ........let your body play instead.
Don't push. Don't let yourself be pushed. Life is no longer about pushing.....

Colourworks becomes Colour Mirrors
The amazing Colourworks colour system I've been working with for the past few years has shifted and expanded into a new name, a new vibration and a new logo. For seven years the name Colourworks has served us beautifully, but now it is time to move forward with a new name and a new energy.
While Melissie Jolly, founder of Colourworks, was in the UK recently preparing a new Advanced Colour course with me, we were led to the name 'Colour Mirrors'. We feel this name perfectly reflects the system as colour literally mirrors to you who you are, where you're at and what's inside you.
When you connect with Colour Mirrors, every judgement you hold is gently but firmly displayed before you so that you can decide if it still serves you or if you are ready to let it go, and if so, colour is the key to let you do just that.
Every atom of beauty inside you is also there in the bottles, perfectly revealed in full spectrum colour. When you look at something and see its beauty, it is simply the reflection of the beauty you are. This glorious system reveals you to yourself in a way few others I have come across do, and it is my privilege to work, play and explore with it!
The new website www.colourmirrors.com is now up and running so do visit it.
And if you feel ready to look in the mirror, my next Colour 1 workshop is on 7-8 March.
