Hello everyone and welcome to 2009!! What a year we are going to have. Firstly I would like to thank everyone for their wishes and congratulations given to our family as we welcomed our new family member Eden David Potter,  who was born on the 22^nd of October 2008. I would also like to say thankyou for being patient with me, I know that a lot of you have been waiting for me to write again on the energies and I do apologise for the delay.

Well we are in for a wonderful and exciting time in 2009. this is the year that we will finally start to see our life missions/purposes coming into form, some of you may already be experiencing this.

We are starting to see all our dreams coming into fruition, the ‘I could only wish and hope that one day that happens’ are happening and it seems to be coming without any effort. Our manifestation process is becoming a lot easier it is now simply down to a single thought, We don’t have to use visualisations or affirmations or any other tool to bring our desires into form, so I say this, be careful about your thought process and make sure that you are only thinking positively or else you will create that which you do not want or desire.

At the end of 2008 we experienced another energy shift this was during December 2008 and has continued through to January 2009. A lot of people including myself went through lower stomach problems and bowel problems, this was in relation to the Sacral Chakra which relates to your thoughts and beliefs on appetites and desires. This was a clearing of the old energies, not as severe as what we had experienced during 2008 but enough for us spend some of the time nurturing ourselves.

The solar plexus chakra was also affected by this shift and also cleared the “left overs” of 2008. The solar plexus chakra is in relation to our thoughts and beliefs about power and control. Some of us experienced stomach upset and nausea but nothing to severe more annoying than anything.

Due to this last clearing many of us experienced an emotional upheaval. In my own experience and in speaking to a lot of other people I noticed that I was becoming upset over the smallest of things or crying for no reason. This was a reaction to letting go of that old energy of 2008. The 2008 release was extremely hard because that dense energy had been with us for such a long time for many of us it has been there since we were born into this world. This has been hard to release because it has acted like a security blanket and in some ways we have relied on this for defence and protection. With this last release I noticed that I could not stomach watching anything negative on TV this included the news I would actually feel physically ill. For me this had a lot to do with accepting  the energies and letting go of that security blanket, I also had to allow my body to accept and deal with the new sensitivities that I had been given and for those sensitivities to settle in and become comfortable. At this time I did a lot of checking in with my guides and other close friends to make sure that what I was experiencing was a release of the old energy and an acceptance of new energy and not just hormones.

During December 2008 and January 2009 there was also a reconnection with friends and family.

Many of us were revisiting a lot of old relationships that we had not be in connection with for a long time. But that was as far as it will go. This was a realisation at a soul level, it was to remind us that we are evolving and vibrating on another level, a higher level and that these connections once served us but now they are no longer in the same vibrating circle and we need to let go of them.

Another aspect of this higher vibration is that our guides that have been with us for a very long time for some of us again from birth, are leaving and we are receiving new guides. The guides that are coming are to help with the transition of this new energy and the higher vibrations of ourselves and mother earth. They will make the transition a little more comfortable and will also alleviate fear and anxiety that many people are experiencing in relation to this transition.

Many of these guides can present themselves in the form of animals or nature beings, this is because we are reconnecting with nature and are becoming more aware of natural living. This includes growing fresh produce and becoming more organic. I will explore this area in a later posting.

Another change that we are experiencing is letting go of having to use other modalities to connect with energies. These are tarot cards, massage, meditation, reiki, psychics etc.

With this new energy some of us are not needing assistance with our connecting. We as light beings are now able to completely accomplish this ourselves. Our own intuition is coming into being and we are completely trusting and listening to it. There is however many people that still have to come through this new energy shift and it will take time, as we all have our own divine timing with receiving and accepting this new way.

With this new vibration we are also not needing to cleanse and release negative energy as much, as this denser energy does not exist in this new realm. This is why you may find it hard to perform meditation or any kind of cleansing ritual.

February 2009 will be the start for many of us with receiving our direction for our life purpose and it will be go go go once you discover it. By March 2009 most people will be on a direct path, this will be in relation to your true passion and your deepest desires for yourself, you will feel like you have finally accomplished those dreams. This could be in relation to a new form of career or business or moving locations this includes buying and selling of homes. (Yes the selling market will pick up)

These things that are occurring will put people in exactly the right places that they need to be to reach their purpose.

I look forward to writing more in the coming months. Hang on to your hats people because it is going to be a fantastic ride.

Take Care,
Love and Light

Feed Your Inner Ecosystem with Fermented Foods

Cultured vegetables have been around for centuries, long before refrigeration was an option.

And even though they were important foods for our ancestors they were completely forgotten as refrigerated and processed foods began to dominate our "modern" world.

Unfortunately, our bodies are suffering from their loss.

They are an excellent source of vitamin C, and the fermentation process significantly increases the nutrients in the vegetables! The Chinese and the Russians cultured cabbage each fall to ensure that they had a source of fresh greens throughout winter.

Fermented foods aid your digestion, boost the growth of healthy microflora in your inner ecosystem and aid your digestion.

Fermented foods like cultured vegetables are a great way to take advantage of organic vegetables in season.

Just as the Earth has ecosystems which keep it in balance, your body has an inner ecosystem that keeps you healthy and strong. Your inner ecosystem is made up of healthy bacteria and yeast (microflora), which live in your intestines. Beneficial microflora actually make the vitamins you need, boost your immunity and aid your digestion. They help balance your hormones and help keep your body cleaner, younger and well nourished.

Sugar, white flour, processed oils and preserved meats rob your body of the nutrients it needs to build health. They are as far from Nature as you can possibly get. Processed foods also encourage the growth of bad bacteria and upset the balance of your healthy inner ecosystem. You're choosing the fast track to a costly, painful and early old age when you eat these man-made foods each day. Feeding them to our babies and kids is contributing to life long habits which are can have detrimental health effects.

The best way to protect our children is to change our own eating habits... starting before conception.
A recent study confirms that what a woman chooses to eat during her pregnancy and nursing periods affects whether or not her child will have a deep-rooted weakness for junk food.

In fact, fermented foods and drinks should become a staple of our everday and prenatal nutrition!

Some other benefits of fermented foods and drinks are that they:

• Create A Healthy Inner Ecosystem: They lay down a foundation for a healthy inner ecosystem in a pregnant mother, which is essential for inoculating her baby with a healthy microflora at birth. This translates to a strong hardy immune system.
• Provide More Nutrients: The nutrient content of food increases hundreds of times when fermented, and the abundant microflora in them act like enzymes to properly digest food, and utilize all the nutrients.
• Reduce Damage From Sugar: Microflora in fermented foods enjoy sugars in foods and reduce the damage to you or your fetus. They are excellent for controlling cravings. The sour foods suppress desire for too many sweets. You baby will not crave them after he is born either.
• Help Your Body Detoxify: A growing fetus is especially vulnerable to toxins in the mother's body. The fermented foods are wonderful detoxifiers but they cleanse in a gentle, consistent way. For example, cruciferous vegetables found in cultured veggies (like cabbage and kale) contain calcium glucarate, a powerful detoxifier. Sadly, today pregnant women are now told to avoid fish... an excellent animal protein... because of the mercury. When fermented foods are in your diet and especially when they are eaten in the same meal, the microflora remove harmful chemical, heavy metals and toxins before they can be absorbed. They are then eliminated in your stool.
• Protect You and Your Baby From Pathogens. Microflora in fermented foods will attack toxins, parasites, and pathogens that are on the foods you eat.
