Michael Sobell Vintage Fair - Good for the Spirit!

I visited the Vintage fair with my friends from the 'Coffee Pot', not a bunch of coffee lovers, but social lites who enjoy all sorts of activities including, shopping, dancing and eating...great company for a visit to a vintage fair.  With a combination of good friends, food, dancing, music and vintage clothing, how could we go wrong?

We ate cupcakes, watched Jive Swing and browsed through a collection of bargain priced vintage clothes and jewellery, not forgetting the vintage cars.

We also had the opportunity to get our own treasures valued.
I really enjoyed watching the 'Joy of Vintage Fashion Show' there were some beautiful dresses and bags.
The Jive Swing Dance Demo looked fun, lots of people learning to dance and really getting into the spirit of things.

A simple combination of good entertainment made my day. It was good for the spirit, and a tonic for the soul!

Deal or no Deal - Mind or Matter?

I have been watching 'Deal or no Deal' for some time now, and occasionally try to guess whats in the box before it is opened...I can sometimes get the amount right.  I also have a strong feeling that tells me what is in the box at the end of the game.  Many people say the game is all down to luck, others would say fate plays a  part in the end results. I have seen contestants who have had a positive outlook all the way through the game and win a big amount. Maybe the mood of the contestant counts?  Other contestants have known that they are going to win and have won a big amount and beat the banker. I really do think that we all have a certain amount of telepathy within us and that it is stronger in some of us than others.

Did Andy Murray experience the 'Snowball Affect' ?

 
Andy Murray lost in the match with Rafael Nadal, but was this all due to the mind?  Murray played the first part of the match well, but further down the line, his level of play dropped.
Viewers could see that he was missing straight shots and trying harder every time he lost a game.

Trying too hard can lead to the build up of negative thoughts in the mind creating what is known as 'The Snowball Affect.'  Its like a snowball gathering snow (thoughts in the mind).  If we pay too much attention to our negative thoughts this can lead to further mistakes and cause the situation to become stressful.  This is what is called a 'negative mind set' so in order to stop this mind set we need a plan of action.  What do we do in these situations? Remember we create our own thoughts. Thoughts are just thoughts and only thoughts. When we hear a negative thought it is best not to pay too much attention to it, just let it pass through your mind.  We all know that often one thought leads to another and another and another...this is 'The Snowball Affect.' If we become aware of our first negative thought we can often stop the next one by saying a phrase to distract the mind, such as "Here I go again" and then letting the thought flow through our mind. This takes practise, but does work in time. There are also meditations that can help with the negative mind set.

Watching the game I did wonder, did Murray experience 'The Snowball Affect' whilst playing against Nadal?

Mind Body Spirit Festival 25th May 2011

Deep Listening - Yoga & Sound

I attended the Mind Body Spirit Festival in London and enjoyed watching Lisa Sanfilippo and Jason Kalidas. They combined music and Yoga together. Listening to the music was a relaxing experience. Yoga is a good exercise to do, as it keeps your attention on what you are doing (Keeps you in the moment) and helps the body with fitness.  Lisa was very flexible, and I was amazed at some of the movements she achieved, its amazing what the physical body is capable of.

Aura Reading

I have been able to see my Aura, but always wanted to confirm that the colour was Turquoise.  I managed to get a photo of my Aura and found out that I had been right in thinking that my arms had Turquoise around them and my head had yellow and green around the top of it.  I also received a Aura Reading, which was quite insightful, I was told that I was very communicative and must take care of my emotions. This reading was quite significant to me at the time. The Aura can change from minute to minute according to your emotions, but it is said that there is always a base colour that stays the same.

Diana Cooper

Healing Angels were walking around the Festival and a member of my family was fortunate enough

to get a healing from one of them. She also held my hand for a short amount of time and I felt warmth and love from this lady.

I also picked up a Meditation CD ' Meditation to connect with Archangel Michael' I listened to this and found it to be so relaxing and protecting.  The CD focuses on the Throat Chakra which is the blue Chakra and explains how this is related to freedom of speech. We can use the Colour blue, and the Gem Stones Aquamarine, Turquoise and

Chalcedony to help us clear negative energy within the Throat Chakra.
