Issue No. 10 May 2011 Welcome Welcome to the Life Magic Newsletter. As we bask in the last warm days of autumn and prepare ourselves for winter, let's celebrate life and give up all ideas of hibernation. Winter is a wonderful opportunity to restore ourselves emotionally and spiritually, mentally and physically, before we welcome our next growth phase in spring. Brandon Bay's visit to present the Journey Intensive in Auckland in February was inspiring - it was great to see her again in New Zealand. Topics we cover this 2nd Quarter of 2011 are

A dedicated group of Journey Practitioners and Graduates has planned a weekend of emotional support for the people of Christchurch following the recent earthquake disasters. The aftershocks continue leaving many people anxious about their safety and their future, as well as suffering the effects of lost employment, businesses, homes and other property, not to mention loved ones. Saturday 28 May is for anyone who has already experienced The Journey. Sunday 29 May is for everyone. Both days are free of charge. The weekend is being hosted by Bill Macleod who is our New Zealand senior Journey presenter. He will ensure that you come away inspired and ready to face the issues in your life at present. Time: 9.30am – 5.30pm on both days. Drop in any time during the day, and stay for as long as you like. You are welcome (and encouraged) to stay the whole day. Place: The Champion Centre, Burwood Hospital, Gate 3 on Burwood Road, Burwood. You may come for a cuppa and a chat, to listen to Bill, or for an individual session. A one-on-one session will support you to discover the real cause of your emotional reactions, through a guided Journey introspection. It is completely safe and natural. You will leave feeling lighter and more aware of yourself. If you have any questions, please ring Annette on (03) 347-8095 or email her at annette.burrell@gmail.com. If you don't live in Christchurch but know people who do, and who might need some emotional support, please do let them know. These days will be very supportive, and The Journey is a great supportive tool as you probably know by now! There will also be follow-up support if this is needed.

The Journey has always seen the need to give emotional support to our children. As you would know yourself, the emotional issues which you face today usually have their foundation in childhood. Here are 3 programmes that will support you with either your own children or other children you may be keen to help. Liberating Kids Shining Potential is a one day workshop aimed at giving adults the tools to help children. This workshop is available to you whether you have attended any other Journey training or not. It is also a mandatory part of the Journey Practitioners Programme. The workshop is not often held in New Zealand, but we are fortunate that Bill Macleod, our senior Journey presenter, is running one in Auckland in June.
This is a course for everyone, and is especially valuable for parents, care-givers, teachers and anyone who has children in their lives. It is a delightful, joyous and freeing day where you'll play like a child, all the while learning a multitude of invaluable tools that will help you set free the boundless potential of children of all ages. You'll experience the process work first hand, which will enable you to use the work spontaneously and freely wherever needed in life. The skills you learn are easy, practical, and can be used in all sorts of real-life situations, from dealing with emotional upsets and traumas, separation and divorce, school and learning difficulties, to handling behavioral problems, and even coping healthily with death and bereavement. This workshop is $295. Time: Sunday 12 June - 9am start. Place: Quality Hotel Barrycourt, 20 Gladstone Road, Parnell, Auckland To book or ask any questions about this workshop please ring Shanti, Jan or Megan free on 0508 JOURNEY (0508 568-7639).

We each create our own world, whether we like this fact or not. Ultimately we are individually responsible for the specific situation that we find ourselves in today. This is a hard lesson, because it blows the whole idea of blaming somebody else out of the water. Our misfortunes are not somebody else's fault, however we might squirm to escape from taking responsibility for our own life situation. Likewise we can take full responsibility for our successes in life, and be proud of what we have achieved. Let me explain. Time can be split into three parts, the past, the present (now) and the future. Only the now is of real importance to us, as we can only act in the present. We cannot change the past - what happened happened. The future is but a dream, a possibility, an empty canvas. What we can do is recognise that our life situation right now is the sum total of all that we have created for ourselves throughout our past. This may have even come from before we were born, when we created karma for ourselves in a past life, or when we were given, or chose to take on, a particular situation or life to be born into. You will have your own beliefs in this regard, and whatever they are, this was the starting point of your life on this Earth. Since the moment we were born, we have chosen to buy into other people's beliefs, and chosen not to at times. We have also added to our own belief system and learned many things from our own experience of life. Today, you can comfortably say, this person right here is the person that you are responsible for creating. This is you, and this is your achievement. All the experiences and all the learning you have had is yours and nobody else's. As to the future, whether you jump ahead one day, one week, one year or a decade, you know that when you get there, you will be looking back at the past. So in the same way as always, what you believe and what you do in the present (now) is what is creating that future. You have been really successful in creating your life as it is today, whether you like all aspects of the result or not. Some of what you have achieved will have been through conscious intention, and perhaps some of it will have been unconscious. Choose to create the present, and so the future, consciously. Decide what you want and go for it. Decide what beliefs to accept and maintain, and identify the beliefs that you can well do without. You will be equally successful in creating your future, right now, as you have been in creating your past. Because you are taking conscious action now, as you have done in undertaking Journey Processes, you will be creating a present and a future that matches what you really desire. If you have any questions about how to more deliberately create the life that you want, or you would like to identify and remove beliefs that are not helpful to you, please contact me. Your ability to create your life experiences is unquestioned, and you have been doing it every day since you were born. Choose to create more consciously and therefore to experience in your life more of what you want and less of what you don't want. Brandon Bays and her husband Kevin Billett have designed 44 inspiring Journey Cards that are “filled with profound contemplations … that invite you into a direct experience of your own enlightened awareness”. I am featuring one in each newsletter, and this quarter it is "Present Moment Awareness". "This card is your wake-up call to stop all distraction, all story. "
If you wish to purchase a set of The Journey Cards please contact me, as I have them in stock - only $35 so great value. I also have all of The Journey books available for purchase.
