I am astonished by how often i hear the phrase I JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY... or will i ever be happy? will i ever find happiness? It is amazing how this want and need has become a major part in our lives... and let me start off by saying its actually an easy task to manage if you know how... the key is to know yourself!
I see happiness like a mood, not a place or necessarily a constant feeling, Happiness is a state of being, and sometimes one has to decide to be happy no matter what :-) Sometimes we have bad or good moods, and like any mood it can last a few moment or a few hours, this is how happiness works, this state of being can easily be changed either willingly or unwillingly. Just like a bad mood can last for hours and can be brought on by something externally, something internally as well as be taken away by our feelings, emotions, self talk or other people, circumstances and outside influences, so can happiness.
The more one can see happiness as a state, a mood that can be brought in or fabricated by either yourself or circumstances then you can take back power over your own happiness, emotions and well being. It is a common fact that when one is happy then health and abundance follows... its not so much what is happening around you, who you are in a relationship with or how much money one has, sure these factors do play a role in general happiness, however it is during these times that i feel one should work even harder at keeping the state of happiness alive... i feel people chase this state and feeling too much not knowing that it can be there for 1 minute or a few days, but that it is up to us to spur it on, give it energy, or deplete ourselves from it...
The more you stalk your mind, listen to your thoughts, self talk, and your emotions the more you will get to know where sabotage, self esteem issues and general negativity comes from YOURSELF! I feel taking responsibility for ones own happiness through keeping a balance, its not about making everyone happy or being there for everyone, its about being there for yourself, taking time out to really figure out what makes you smile... having alone time to think and contemplate, meeting up with friends, and having different energies around to uplift and energies the body and mind... routine and constant day in and day out comfort zone will also bore the inner child and happiness may be harder to regain.
Follow the simple rule...Take 20 minutes every day for yourself to get active, or meet up with people, or relax to calm the mind and body, spend time by yourself, and know what pushes your buttons and you over the edge. Know what makes you smile, what YOU need to be centered and in control, do not blame others and stop making excuses!

The Three Networks
Recently i have been fascinated by studies that show we don't only have one brain network in the head but actually 3 brain networks in our body's... these networks are a cluster of pathways controlling and responsible for certain movement and actions in our being...
The three networks are:
1. The brain / crown Network
2. The heart / Solar Plexus Network
3. The Base Network
The roles of these brains is very specific and i found if one is unbalanced it cause an unbalanced life in that area...
1. The Brain or Crown network:
Responsible for creativity, thinking, logic, and also putting ideas in to action, its the action part of the 3 networks... it calculates and formulates, and is your direct link to bringing to light your desires, wants and needs.
2. The Heart or Solar plexus Network
This is your direct connection to yourself, to your God, its your intuition, and where all your ideas and messages are born... its your feeling part, your soul... this network needs silence to be heard or felt, but it is very accurate... this is the direct link to the Ackashic records. everything you need to know is here. this is your peaceful and knowing network.
3. Base Network
Responsible for your body, your human connection, grounding, and courage... this network is directly linked to the body, if out of balance your body will be ill... this is your link to the physical, to earth and all that is physical... this is where we also find ourselves at our most primal... people who are very highly strung will loose sight of this network. this network to me is a very important connection as we are here to learn how to master the human body, and when this is ill or out of balance everything else seems to suffer.
Once you are aware of the three brains you can start using them accordingly... instead of focusing on one part i find it so amazing to be able to hook into three different networks that all have tremendous power... if you need to take action but you have fear... you could easily hook into your heart network to feel which is your best option, relay that to your Brain network for formulation and ideas as well as action... and then send all of it down to your base network for the primal instinct, the courage and the physical execution of the task at hand...
Balance each network by being aware of all that is happening, stalk your brain, listen to your internal dialog, feel your heart, and create peace so you can connect to yourself, and create balance by accepting your physical body, watching and feeling what it needs or how it communicates... if the base network is unbalanced your body will show it... then it is time for grounding, fun and getting back to basics.
I will be doing a meditation evening on Thursday 8 August 2013 in Midrand and i will specifically concentrating on the Base network, for physical healing and balance.

Dreams and Dream interpretation
These days i come across so many people who are becoming more aware and interested in their dreams... dreams are where our conscious and our subconscious meet... its where we find all the clues of our waking life... dreams can enrich our lives tremendously as i find they hold the key and answers to our questions, challenges and also our future.
However deciphering our dreams can be a bit of a task to say the least :-) but not impossible if you know what to look for.
If dream interpretation interest you i would suggest you stay away from too literal thinking... dreams are about your feelings and how you feel in the dream, its also very important to understand that dreams are about our circumstances so in a dream all the characters are usually a representation of yourself...
The subconscious speaks in symbols and so it is also good to keep a dream journal... referring to dream interpretation books can help but is not necessary in my eyes... just writing down your dream as you wake up is key, so you can remember it, take it slow and let the story unfold... look at the pictures and unravel how you felt, study colors and characters, and apply each character as part of you...
So if you dreamed there was a burglar who broke into your house and you two get into a huge fight, the interpretation could be that you are in conflict with yourself... one side of you is the victim and one is the persecutor...
I always find it very helpful to know the colors and meanings of the chakras to explain coloring in dreams...also focus on the ending or resolution of the dream.
Take it dream for dream, reflect on all the parties involved, focus on your feelings, analyze your environment in the dream, as its a representation of your environment outside and inside while awake... get to know your symbols and also look at what the dream is showing you...water always stands for emotions, a vehicle of any kind always means a journey, and blood always represents energy...dreaming of death is always transformation, and changes...
I have found that we can have very strong Past Life Recall in our dreams as well, so dreaming of a foreign country can be a recall... or dreaming you are in another century and you look differently is all past life linked... our dreams are very interesting and can make us very aware. At the moment i find that a lot of people are having premonitions, which means they feel hear and see their future or that of others in their dreams...do not be fearful of the symbols but keep your journal and measure your accuracy.
As with all practice makes perfect, and using your gut while looking at your dreams can go a long way.

Values
I can not stress how important it is to know your own values as this is the core we all live by... when we clearly know what we live and stand for we understand ourselves just so much better...
I have found that many of us are in confusion as we don't seem to understand what we want, when we truly live our values no matter how hard it may be we are always in alignment with ourselves and our mission.
Values also very much tie in with boundaries, often we over step each other boundaries/value not intentionally but this can have major ripple effects on our relationships, so knowing your values and boundaries and expressing them clearly is the way to a happier life and healthier relationships... now not everyone accepts and understand boundary setting or values but this is how we grow.
A good example is always one of punctuality... if i have a value of punctuality and i like always being punctual on time and i expect that of my friends, if i encounter someone who does not have that value system it could lead to a problem. lets say i have a value of punctuality however my good friend does not and whenever we meet for coffee she is always late, one can imagine that after some time this over stepping of my boundary will affect me on some level, however in our society we rather let ourselves get so worked up and allow an explosion to happen than to talk about a problem before it arises... instead of getting angry and causing a fight in the friendship due to our different value systems the best way to go about setting a boundary and making known your value is in such a manner:
name the value, name the need and say thank you...so this is how i would say it:
Friend i love you very much and i enjoy our coffee however i have a very strong value of punctuality and i would really appreciative it if you are on time for our coffee, thank you for honoring and respecting this value.
This is a formal way but a good starting point to learn communication that clearly states the needs, the reason and the outcome, without conflict or drama... mostly we over step each others values and boundaries without knowing and open communication can solve many of our communication mishaps.
For the next two weeks you can download the list of values for yourself... out of the 300 odd values choose 10 primary values, and then out of those 10 choose 4 CORE values, these values are the main values you live by.

For more on these coaching tips contact me for personal coaching programs as well as courses coming up the next few months.
All this falls under my new course called CREATE YOUR LIFE

So Much Change...
Its been a while since my last Blog, and with OWT RADIO's contract coming to an end i have had more time for preparing my workshops which i am hosting all over the county over the next few month :-) this is very exciting, and i find it so amazing how much potential and power people posses if they know how to access it :-)
What i have noticed on a personal and client basis is that things are speeding up...i gave a talk yesterday at The Jacaranda Spiritual Church in Pretoria, and even receiving feedback from people there that the universe is not waiting for us anymore... we are facing challenges and emotions on a daily basis that we have to deal with and work through... sometimes some are easier than others i am sure you all know what i mean...
However i am in awe at how many people are facing these challenges with their heads held high, although there was much pain and struggle with in yesterdays congregation they came and gathered to be uplifted to face another day, and thus just taking it a day at a time... this is the only way to live... it was heart warming to be surrounded by people with such open hearts and minds.
If you like so many of us at the moment feel like you can barely keep up, i wanted to write this blog today to urge you to just keep going, do every day something that makes you happy, and face those fears and emotions, as change is constantly happening, its energy, and i do believe we are rewarded on many occasions :-)
Affirmation for the week: I ATTRACT WHAT I VIBRATE!

The world is your mirror
Todays blog may be a recap of something i have said many times before but this is a really good basic to always follow when in any type of doubt... sometimes certain people in our life will connect or irritate each other, in both cases there is a connection, recognizing mirror... this means that you recognise something within yourself through that other person... its something that gets brought up for you to heal, let go of or work through. Sometimes it is also appropriate to say nothing to someone when confronted with a challenging situation until you have uncovered what it means to you or why it is bringing up certain emotion.. A very good indication where you are at is to look at your cupboards or office or environment, an uncomfortable or messy environment usually signifies a scattered mind... in my life i like to always do some self internal work before i say or take something too personal... i see people always as teachers, and although we are sometimes a bit too reactive we always have choice to act differently the next time... i live by the rule that i can only look to my self for change, no one can do that for you... and if you want something diffferent change your reactions and your patterns... and you can always only start with yourself... stop blaming or pointing a finger and to take responisbility for your own life is probably the bigggest present you can give yourself... so see everyone as a giift bringing you feedback whether positive or negative... :-) something to look at.

Connecting with YOUR angels
Connecting to your spiritual side is easy, many people have recently asked me how do they make more contact with their angels, or include it into their daily lives...
Well its very simple but we need to ask them for advice for them to give it. Today's blog is about connecting with your angels using Doreen Virtues Angel cards... if you need to get yourself a deck of cards you can either order them online through Kalahari or you can also buy them from any Estoril Bookshop
I will be showing you a picture of a very easy spread you can use with your angel cards every day... not only will this spread help you prepare for your day, it will focus you on the positives of the day, and also prepare yourself for your feelings or reactions.
Start by finding a few moments in the morning to just connect to your Angles through a few moments of silence as you shuffle the cards... then lay out in 3 piles and choose the one that stands out for you. The spread goes like this:
CARD FOR THE DAY SPREAD:
1. Card for the day - the important aspects of the day ahead. (Top Card)
2. Attend to this - Personal issues that will require attention. (Card on left)
3. What to look out for - Feelings, desires and reactions that could arise. (Card on right)
As you can see my reading suggests that its important to have patience for today, i have to attend to having courage and standing up for my beliefs and what to look out for is living a healthy lifestyle, and not eating emotionally probably... :-)
Its easy quick and effective, and you can start living with awareness from today.
Check out my YOU TUBE video on this topic, and listen to my radio show on how to connect with your angels tomorrow from 10am onward via our website
