Absorbing New Beliefs
Greetings Dear Friends,
Welcome to your monthly newsletter. How are you all doing? This month we have a lot of inspiration to share with you, I thought I would start off by sharing with you my latest blog called Absorbing New Beliefs. Here are some paragraphs from the blog
“Have you ever tried meditating with your focus only being on God? This is an inspiring belief that I have been trying to adopt. Until now, all of my meditation practices involved guided visualizations where I would escape to a beautiful meadow or a peaceful place. While I still enjoy that, I have been learning now for about 3 years how to meditate on God and tune into God's eight qualities. Which has expanded my view on meditation, as my search for God has always been outward looking for God in a Church or through a pastor.
In 2014 and 2017, I regularly attended a Pentecostal church. During my time there, I was told that I couldn't practice Yoga, Reiki, or Meditation. I obeyed their command and got saved and baptised. Despite my efforts to become closer to God, I never felt renewed or that I even knew Jesus. However, when the church's pastor left and a new pastor was appointed, I felt spiritually initiated, like we had become one and entered in the realm of ministry. I cried and cried, and although I didn't know what was happening to me, I kept it a secret between me and God” ...

February's Thoughts & Reflections
The 18th February was the day I entered into the world. Where two souls came together to conceive me and here I am nearly 41 years later and I have achieved more than I thought I would ever achieve. When I went to the Amazon rainforest an unexpected journey of a lifetime. I thanked God and said that if I died I would have felt happy because I felt like I had achieved everything that I needed to achieve in this lifetime.
Lo and behold I never realised that there was more inner work that I needed to do on myself and that there was more to life that was going to be revealed to me. I knew from Divine Mother that I was going to be a minister because she showed me, I just never seen myself being a minister, but when the opportunity came the lights turned on and paved the way. There were know obstacles that came in the way, not even losing the two most important women in my life my mother and auntie during my minister training stopped me from becoming what I had seen through the eyes of Divine Mother all them years ago.
So my birthday wish for this year is to go on a retreat led by Ministers in March. I have not had the opportunity to attend one in over four years. To make this happen, I will need to raise £500 if anyone feels the kindness in their hearts to donate I would really appreciate it. The funds will go towards my continued personal development and training as a Minister. Your generous gift will not only help me to achieve my goal but also help inspire others to follow their dreams as well.
If you would like to donate here is the PayPal link or if you would prefer to donate via bank transfer please contact me directly and I can send you the details.
To start my Day of Birth New Year Nayaswami's Jyotish and Devi wrote a blog called "Paramhansa Yogananda’s Spiritual Pledge for Students" Inspired by their blog I thought would adopt some of the pledges to follow. The link to read the blog is below.
To conclude my thoughts and reflections I wanted to share one more thing with you all a song by Swami Kriyananda called “Walk like a Man” that has captured my heart and being.
Quoting and transcribing from his words he shares what the song means to him.
"This song is really I think my favourite of all the songs that I have written and it is sort of in a sense theme song to our community and you will think that’s rather peculiar because the message of it is to go on alone.
But in fact only until a person has the integrity to seek his truths within himself and not in agreement with the majority of opinion is he really a free enough agent to be able to work with intelligent cooperation with others as opposed to sort of a mindless locksteck togetherness. And this is the attitude that we encourage in our community so in a sense it is really the theme song of Ananda Cooperative Village!"
~ Swami Kriyananda
Walk Like a Man Lyrics:
Walk like a man, even though you walk alone.
Why court approval, once the road is known?
Let come who will, but if they all turn home,
The goal still awaits you: Go on alone!
Follow your dream though it lead to worlds unknown.
Life’s but a shadow once our dreams have flown.
What if men cry, “Your dream is not our own”?
Your soul knows the answer: Go on alone!
Give life your heart! Bless everything that’s grown;
Fear not the loving: all this world’s your own.
Make rich the soil, but once the seed is sown
Seek freedom, don’t linger: Go on alone!

February's wisdom
Channel the light, the light within
the stars are always shining the melody is always playing if we select the right instrument the key to the high pitched note will only eventually become low, so what is low? If you have the right instrument within.
Aum Peace Amen
Blessings & Love

Counselling Space
Counselling Space is a space where you can choose the right style of counselling for you and explore your inner and outer path and discover your soul’s true highest potential. As a Person Centred counsellor with over a decade of experience, I offer a transpersonal creative approach based on the wisdom teachings of spiritual traditions and modern psychology. Transpersonal psychology invites us to draw from the depths of our being to align us to our unique qualities, that are hidden within and without ourselves. It empowers us to see that we have the freedom, inner wisdom and the inner knowledge to accept and let go of anything that is disharmonious in our lives...
