It has been exciting to share the recent posts to all the readers following me in the world. Also, would always love to hear your comments and feedback. Please leave comments and anything else you would like to know about the benefits of meditation that may not have been covered.
The article in the most recent posts made a lot of sense to me. Through science, they are letting me know how the human body is affected by the high vibrational energy that I am channeling into all those that come to my groups.
For me, I see the people instantly start to change around me. Some, can feel the energy during their first meditations with me. Others, cannot feel the energy, but certainly notice the positive changes around them when they go to work the next day. Plus others, about 95% who attend, have the best sleep that same night. I welcome all beginners to my groups. It is an easy meditation to start with, as my meditations are guided for you to follow.
Also, as most of us have western bodies, I encourage those who attend to either sit in chairs or lay on the beds. Nothing worse that getting pins and needles in your legs while meditating.
Also, I give thanks to all those who have joined us throughout the year. There have been some famous people join us also. I have only realised this, when others have mentioned it to me.
For me, everyone is equal. Famous or not, means nothing to me. Everyone is an individual. In this day and age, way too many of us are suffering from stress. My observations show me that stress is the main ingredient that then grows into all sorts of weird and odd illnesses. Everyone seems to suffer differently.
Most of all, when people are stressed, I find they lose their humaness. They seem to go numb on the inside and as the article excerpts I have shared, suggests through scientific research, stress releases bad chemicals through the body that ages you quickly.
Also, I will be posting up live recordings of my meditations soon. Promise. For those that have listened to them, were amazed at the energy they could feel coming through the recordings.
On another note, please place all paper in for recycling. Don’t print what is not necessary. You will be surprised how many trees are cut down to make paper. If we are all conscious of what we do and don’t use coffee paper cups. There will be a lot more trees and forest left on the earth. Have a great Christmas everyone. Hopefully will get a couple more posts up before then.
We found a range of disease-fighting genes were active in the relaxation (meditation) practitioners that were not active in the control group, Dr Herbert Benson, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, who led the research, says.
The good news for the control group with the less-healthy genes is that the research didn’t stop there. The experiment, which showed just how responsive genes are to behaviour, mood and environment, revealed that genes can switch on, just as easily as they switch off.
Harvard researches asked the control group to start practising relaxation methods everyday, says Jake Toby, hypnotherapist at London’s BodyMind Medicine Centre, who teaches clients how to induce the relaxation effect through meditation.
After two months, their bodies began to change: the genes that help fight inflammation, kill diseased cells and protect the body from cancer all began to switch on.
Excerpt from Sydney Morning Herald article…..to be continued
It’s a piece of advice yogis have given for thousands of years: take a deep breath and relax. Watch the tension melt from your muscles and all your niggling worries vanish. Somehow we all know that relaxation is good for us. Now the hard science has caught up: a comprehensive scientific study showing that deep relaxation changes our bodies on a genetic level has just been published.
What researchers at Harvard Medical School discovered is that, in long-term practitioners of relaxation methods such as yoga and meditation, far more “disease-fighting genes” were active, compared to those who practised no form of relaxation. In particular, they found genes that protect from disorders such as pain, infertility, high blood pressure and even rheumatoid arthritis were switched on. The changes, say the researchers, were induced by what they call “the relaxation effect”, a phenomenon that could be just as powerful as any medical drug but without the side effects.
More on this topic will be written soon.

Mel has started coming to my meditation groups eight weeks ago. When she first came, she was depressed, shaky, unsure of herself and looked pretty washed out. I am glad my sister told her about my meditation sessions and it inspired Mel to come. After the first meditation, Mel did not see nor feel anything during the mediations, but found that she started to feel a little better after the first week. As she kept coming over the next few weeks, attending meditation once a week, she still could not feel the energy within herself nor see anything during the meditation, but found that everything was starting to improve in her life and events and circumstances were changing around her for the better.
She had more energy and clarity to face challenges in her work and her relationship. She was getting more centered, started to find the peace in herself and through that peace she was finding her strength. She really started to shine and looking a lot younger than what she really is. Her passion for life started to get stronger and she exuded an air of health and happiness through her aura.
By the eight session of meditation, she found only then she really started to sleep well at night. Realized that she deserved a lot more respect than what was being offered in her current relationship and as a result felt liberated to be able to move on with her life. After the sixth session of meditation, she started to feel the energy moving through her is short spouts. I love the way she describes it to the group when sharing, as we all have a good laugh about it.
Mel is a great example of how quickly ones life can be improved through meditation. She finds that stressful situations at work no longer bother her as much. Most of all that she lives on a planet called Earth, that we are all responsible for. Most of us tend to forget as most peoples minds are caught up with their own problems. Most of which are not even real. She is truly feeling great in all areas of her life and is living each day now to the fullest and is also being proactive about volunteering in her own time, to helping save our wildlife and our earth.
It is great to see Mel shining bright with health, youthfulness, her humour has returned and she is now in a position to really be able to raise the awareness of all those around her. Not only her friends and workmates, but also the children she teaches each day and interacts with. Now that she is more enlightened, she realises she can contribute a lot also to all those great organisations out there.
The unspoken heroes of our community here in the Sydney and also in the world, individuals like you and I who are helping to save and care for Australian Wildlife and wildlife in all forms around the planet. For those of us who cannot join them, we can at least donate to these great and worthy causes. Mel has passed on information to her colleagues at the school she teaches, to be proactive about raising money to go towards, Save The Koala Foundation (savethekoala.com). For all those of you out there following my blog, please visit this site and donate to be able to save the plight of the koalas in the wild here in Australia. Also stay tuned on this blog as I will start to upload videos so you can hear the positive feedback from the people that join our groups and also the meditation audio’s I will soon start to sell through this blog and our main meditation website. You’ll be impressed at how effective it will be. So stayed tuned for updates and more great news.
Meditation entry at dusk, Sydney
Scott called me one Saturday earlier this year, before I started guiding my meditation session. He was so distraught over the phone and said he had problems finding a meditation group that he could join and really needed help in that moment. I managed to calm him down and welcomed him along. When I met him he was so emotional. Only to find out that his wife had decided to divorce him with his two children after a 14 year marriage.
When he started coming, I could see that he felt like his whole world was crashing around him. After the first session of meditation, he managed to calm down and started to face the reality of the situation with logic. As he attended the second session through to the fifth, he found that he was starting to gather his strength to deal with the matter, stand his ground more and managed to get the right lawyer by his side. He had many good omens guiding him along the way. Whatever he shared with me, I tried to translate what the omens meant.
He has been coming continuously since then. After a couple of months, he found that he was ready to let her go and to move forward with his life. He loves his children dearly and reminds me of the great love my dad gave me. His emotions started to stabilize and as a result, the road he traveled became smoother for him.
One Tuesday night he shared with us that it was over and settled. We all decided to go out after meditation in celebration for him and his new life. He was so sweet, at the end of the dinner, he kneelled down before me and thanked me for all my healing, help and the great energy from the group. He said he knew if it wasn’t for the meditation, he would not have gotten through this rocky road as well as he did. His gratitude almost brought me to tears. I felt so happy that I was able to help him that much. It is these experiences that move me. The experiences money can never buy.
I encouraged Scott to still keep coming as there was another phase of healing for him to go through now. As it was, he was doing great. He was calmer, happier and very relieved it was all behind him. He took my advice, kept coming and mingled only with positive friends and influences around him. I asked him to not be in the company of anyone who was negative. Thankfully he listened, which helped me to get him where he is now.
As the weeks moved on, he really connected well with his greatness. He started to shine a lot more. Almost every night he came to meditation with a big smile on his face and shared the great opportunities that were opening up around him, with business, friends and new people he met. He admitted he has not been this happy for such a long time.
It is great that he did not fall into any depression, as most people do when you go through such a heart wrenching experience. Scott is doing great now. Still has a few ups and downs along the way, which is very normal considering he is getting use to a new way of life now. It is now his fifth month, joining our sessions once a week, he is doing amazingly well. If you met him now, you would not believe he lived through such a terrible experience, so recently. When he smiles, I can see the whole world smiles with him. He is both humorous in his nature and joyful. He is also developing new ideas to expand parts of his business. So being a lot more proactive in all parts of his life. Well done Scott, for such and amazing break through. May your story inspire others out there who are going through the same experience. To let them know that meditation can help you get through such a great change in your life.
Jim (started mid March 2009) He has now attended eight sessions of meditation. What a transformation. When I first met Jim, he seemed to be flat. Did not have much eye contact with anyone. Seemed indecisive and uncertain of things in general. That’s how I knew him when I met him.
Slowly over five sessions of meditation, I could see him becoming more and more present. Kind of like I was bringing him back to life. From the sixth onwards, well, he just looks great! He is very present and his blue eyes look brighter, just like the sun is starting to shine from his eyes.
He admits he was burnt out when he met me and now feels like he has a new lease of life. He is funnier than before. Most of his channels are opening up within him and for the first time on the seventh session he could actually see the colours we work with, in meditation. Not bad for a guy who never really did meditation before in his life.
More work opportunities are being presented to him and Jim is finding it much easier to solve programming problems, or adopt to new types of language with ease. The mind is really starting to sharpen and he has lots of energy now to love life, have fun and get stuck into some really tricky projects with ease. Love seeing these little miracles take place in my sessions. It really is the salt and pepper of life seeing other people connect to their true selves and discards the illusions, that lots of us carry. Keep powering Jim!

JOY (December 2008) Joy starting coming to meditation early December. It was her first time to experience our sessions. I’d say also one of the first meditations she experienced. During the session she did not feel much nor see anything during the journey. After the session I said good bye and looked forward to seeing her next week. She gave me that look of ‘Yeah right’. The following Tuesday, to my surprise, she did return. She told me that the days following meditation, she found she could not think of anything negative and slept really well. No bad thoughts. Which is great, considering she is working in an open plan floor, of a government department where political heirachies are rampant.
In the second session, she could see and experience almost the entire journey and felt that the energy went deeper into her. She started to feel better and happier the following week, nothing at work seemed to bother her and continued to remain very positive. She is back at university now. In her last session (all up she came to five) I really could see the lights starting to shine in her eyes again. She was very close to connecting to her soul. Her aura is much brighter and she was oozing self confidence. Well done Joy! What a great turnaround from the person I met five weeks ago. A person confused, down and disillusioned.
