June 2009 Angel Connection Newsletter

How blessed am I to be writing this as I sit at “Spirit of Amberfield” just outside Knysna on the most perfect day with a view of my beloved mountains! I am surrounded by peace and beauty that is unparalled. We have spent a lot of time away from home this year, mainly because of the treatment that Grant had to receive in Johannesburg and for which we are very grateful. However it has made us so aware of how important it is to have peace and quiet in our lives. It is in the quiet time that we grow and heal.

Most of us live hectic, frenetic lives which is why it is so important that we make time to meditate as much as possible. We should be doing it everyday if we can. Meditation calms us down and gives us an inner strength to cope with things that don’t always go according to plan. It enables to “hear” what our Angels, Ascended Masters and other Spirit Beings are trying to tell us and it also enables us to question them and “hear” what they are telling us in reply. Even if you are only able to meditate for 10 or 15 minutes a day, that is much better than not meditating at all.

Many people are really afraid to be on their own and not have radios, music or TV’s filling up the space that should be silent. If this is the case, then you need to ask yourself why is it disturbing to be in my own space and in my own company? Am I afraid that I might have to deal with thoughts that come up or feelings that need to be dealt with?

The only way that I can progress on my Spiritual Path is to deal with all my baggage, learn and acknowledge the lessons and let it go so that I can now move on.

Meditation is not always easy. Our ego insists on coming in as it hates to be left out. It is this same ego that distracts us and causes our minds to wander. A good way to deal with ego is to tell it before you start, to sit on your left shoulder and be quiet. If you find your mind wandering then once more tell it to move to your left shoulder and be quiet. Remember that practise makes perfect. The more we do it the easier it will become!

Continuing with the theme of peace and quiet, I am delighted to say that I will be introducing new and exciting courses next year. These include Angel Self Development Courses, Ascension Self Development Courses and Retreats. Will give more information shortly, so watch this space!!

Thank you for all the e-mails and messages that we are still receiving with healing, love and support for Grant and I. He is making good progress and getting stronger by the day. We manages to have a few days off in some beautiful little places in the Cape, before ending up in Cape Town where I facilitated a workshop. It was wonderful to have some down time and we had a fabulous workshop in Cape Town. It is always so good to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones!

I will be presenting Angel Awareness day on 11th October at Bayete Estate, Gauteng from 10am. The theme this year is 2012. Diana Cooper has put together a meditation for everyone to do and we will discuss some of the theories and aspects of 2012 and how we can prepare ourselves for this auspicious time. This beautiful venue is out in the country and is where I am facilitating Teacher Training this year. Tea and coffee will be served.

There is a nominal amount of R50 to cover costs and booking is essential. We will also do a collection for the SPCA. Food, blankets or monetary donations will be gratefully accepted. Please contact me if you have not yet received the information. Do come and join us!

I am very honoured to have been invited to speak on Saturday 24th October and Sunday 25th October at the 2009 Johannesburg Talk Conference. You are invited to come and spend a weekend of personal growth and oneness with like minded friends. There will be 8 top speakers, fabulous prizes, merchandise on sale as well as promotions. To check if there are still tickets available, please call Kristy on 011-913-3044 or kcollis@global.co.za.

I will be facilitating Teacher Training from 9th October and will not be available for readings, counselling, healing or one on one work until the beginning of November. I am taking bookings for November and December. Telephonic Angel readings and counselling are very successful and in great demand so please don’t delay in making your appointment. Because of cancellations, I have a couple appointments still available for face to face readings and counselling in Johannesburg towards the end of November.
