Hand Analysis talk in Cape Town this Saturday

My stay in the wonderful bushveld is drawing to a close.
My son and I have just had a fantastic game drive at Tsukudu game reserve,
right up to elephant and other game.
Jules was delighted because he got to stroke a tame cheetah.


On Saturday at 2pm I'll be giving a free half hour talk at Welgelegen guest house in Gardens. www.welgelegen.co.za
After the talk I'll be doing mini readings. If you'd like to attend please contact
jena@handanalysisonline.com

Sunday 10th is the date of the Cape Hand Analysis course in Noordhoek.
We've had one last minute cancellation so if you'd like to fill this spot please contact 073 516 1099.

We had a fantastic turn out for the Jhb course end of July. The class was made up of both experienced and new hand readers. We covered a lot of material but focused on gift markers. This is the same course I'll be giving in Cape Town.

enjoy the sunshine wherever you are in the world.

mastermind class postponed until I'm back in Switzeralnd

I'm in darkest africa in a place beyond broadband and even cellphones.

I've been exploring all the facilities in the region to see how I could do this month's mastermind class.
I've finally had to come to terms with the fact that it's just not going to be physically possible
so I'm going to relax instead and enjoy being here!

We have giraffe, duiker, kudu and warthog in our garden, eating my mother's
precious lawn and bouganvillia. My mother's garden pests!!

I'll be back in Switzerland from the 18 Aug.

We'll do 2 classes next month to make up for this one.

SA Trip update

If you've tried to get hold of me recently apologies.
I'm off the beaten track beyond the reaches of broadband
communication. Having no internet connection feels a bit like having one's umbilical chord cut.
It's quite a shock to be cut off for mthe rest of the world.
Still it's wonderful to be in the bushveld with my family
who live on a small game reserve near Kruger Park called Maduma Boma.
http://www.madamaboma.co.za

We have monkeys coming to visit us at our breakfast table and during my early morning run this morning I startled 6 kudus and a family of warthog.

Later we met 4 giraffe who stood and chewed, mouths all going in the same direction
as if they were singing a private kareoki (Sp??) beyond my range of hearing.
Apparently elephants do this. They're extremely vociferous but the tone is so low we can't hear them!

I'll be back in Jhb to give a course on the 27th and consulting again in Jhb on 28th.
Consulting in Hoedspruit on 30th and 31st July.

I'm not qute sure at this point how I'm going to manage my online course which is sheduled for 9pm Central Europe time on 31st.

I may have to postpone it til I am back in civilization.

Will keep you posted. In the meantime, the bush is calling...
We're planning a fire under the stars tonight.

If you'd like a booking while I'm in SA try

but please don't expect an immediate response.

Are you a boy or a girl?

When I was 16 my sister tried to turn me into a girl.

How?

She sat on top me and, ignoring my screams and pleas, plucked at the thick wild hedge that ran unbroken across my face, more or less where my eyes should be. She was merciless and didn’t give up until she’d tamed it into twin arches, each swooping dramatically above an eye. (They looked a bit like a flattened version of the McDonald’s logo.)

She also shaved my legs.

I felt raped and abused but at the same time curious about this new being peering out at me from the mirror. Who was she? How could someone be transformed so utterly and radically by the removal of a few hairs?

This was my first experience of shape shifting.

Suddenly boys looked at me differently. I wasn't on the same side any more.
This was the start of a disco bopping period for me where a young girl could easily tag along with her 18 and 20 year old sisters. By 17 I was cured. I’d witnessed the devastating effect of drugs, sex and alcohol simply by watching the trajectory of some of my sisters’ friends.

I turned into a book worm and joined the Women’s Lib movement on campus.

Having no bra to burn, I rebelled against my sister and society by growing back my eyebrows and leg hair.

Once during this period, someone’s 8 year old son checked me out for some time, his eyes flitting backwards and forwards between my face and legs. Eventually he gave up and simply asked: Are you a boy or a girl?

I acted nonchalant, but that very night went back to shaving my legs. How could an 8yr old boy whip me into line when even professors had failed?

Something similar happened in Vanuatu, years later. We were on the island of Tanna visiting a village on the slopes of an active volcano.

Our guide was a tall, exquisitely built ebony black man, dressed in nothing but a plaited banana leaf wrapped snugly round his penis (colloquially called a ‘numba’).
He looked me up and down (I was probably in shorts again). Then he dropped his bombshell:

‘How many chillun you gat?’

When I answered none, he sucked this information through his teeth, spat out the lump of kava root he’d been chewing all day and suddenly lost all interest in me. As a childless woman, I’d just been relegated to the rubbish dump of his society.

I swear my son Jules is all this man’s in a numba’s fault. He planted a seed in my brain that simply wasn’t there before. (Maybe I’ll go back to Vanuatu one day and claim alimony!)

Jokes aside, social contempt is a deadly weapon. If you did a head count you’d find it responsible for far more devastation than the atom bomb.

What has all this to do with your hands?

Changing or stopping yourself because of what others say or think shows up in different ways in your hands.

If you’re completely out of your own movie you’ll have a co-dependency line.
If you’re blocking yourself through concern about what others might think, you’ll probably have one or more Apollo attack lines.
To see what some of these markers look like go here:
http://www.handanalysisonline.com/attacklinesvisual.php
(If you’d like to learn more about these lines, get my class on this topic here. http://www.handanalysisonline.com/previousclasses.php)


Several markers under the ring finger are related to reputation fears. My Apollo class, discusses the differences between these various markers. Purchase it here http://www.handanalysisonline.com/previousclasses.php


If you have a star like formation on the end of your headline this is called desire pollution. When this marker shows up it indicates that you can’t tell your genuine wants from other people’s wishes for you. To see what this marker looks like, go here. http://www.handanalysisonline.com/desire_pollution.php

The best way to figure out what your real wants are is to get clear on what you really value in life. If your wants clash with your values, chances are they are not your wants but someone else’s.

If you’re not sure what your primary values are, here’s a list to get you started.

I’m off to South Africain a few days. I’ll be writing a separate post about my SA agenda later today.


Wishing you a happy week,
Jena

Are you struggling to make decisions?

Perhaps you haven't noticed this while looking in the mirror,
you've actually got 3 eyes not two!
And if you walk around with the middle one shut tight
that's when all hell breaks loose.

Why?

Have you ever been completely stuck where you absolutely can't
decide what to do?

Your third eye is all about clarity and seeing things in
context.
If you block this ability you won't be able to decide on
anything, even life's major choices.

Here's a fun example of this condition from Richard
Unger:

Mary: Should I marry Joe or Jack or Jim? Or
should I rather join a nunnery or maybe just have a se,x change
instead?

The danger is to wait until all your better options fall away
and you're left with no choice to make at all. Just the worst
possibility.

The middle section of your thumb has to do with your third eye.
If you have several horizontal lines inside this area this means
you have trouble deciding what to do due to clack of clarity.

What does this marker look like? Go here:
http://www.handanalysisonline.com/3rdeyehorizontals.php

Try imagining a window where your 3rd eye is, with sunlight
streaming in. Close your other 2 eyes and breathe this light in.


Fence sitting can also show up in your fingerprints.

People who have 2 or more tented arch fingerprints often can't
decide because they'd like to know the outcome first. This is a
different kind of indecision. But still, the danger is you put
your life on hold. Until someone else decides for you or all the
better options disappear.

The trick is, just do it!
"Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it
happen."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882

Just don't write and tell me it's all my fault you went ahead
with the se,x change!

Are you putting the cart before the horse?

God has been washing cows virtually non-stop in Switzerland for several days now. They're all squeaky clean again and they've been given their bells back.

Which is probably why you haven't heard that much from me recently - my brain is busy being re-tuned for summer.

Offline I've been exploring topics related to deep democracy and how to get all your sub personalities pulling in the same direction.


Actually what has really been going on is that each of my sub personalities has been trying to write this article all on its own, from his or her very own point of view, so I've got several different drafts going on with apparently no common thread.

I guess the main issue is cows and carts and how we humans often have these things back to front without realizing it. And how this explains why sometimes the cart doesn't depart even under severe pressure.

I think the person who understood cows and the universe more than anyone else on this planet was Gary Larson. My favorite GL cartoon of all time is the one of a cow couple in their living room.

Do you know it?

The 'husband' cow is sitting in front of the TV nursing a beer. The 'wife' has a string of pearls around her neck and is standing, gazing longingly out the window. They obviously have a very cozy home with all the usual trimmings. But she has just said to him: 'Harold, I am not content!'
Naturally the poor fellow has a look of perplexed horror on his face.

I think this cartoon pretty much sums up life on this planet for we humans. We think we'll be happy once we have x or y or z. And then when we actually get it, oops, maybe this wasn't what we really wanted after all because we still feel the same.

Luckily we have a few wise souls around who've apparently achieved total detachment. What this actually means is that they finally had enough of all the pushing and shoving to stand back at last and take in the whole scenario from a distance.

From where they're standing it's pretty obvious we've got things back to front in more ways than one. This is what they've been trying to tell us all these years but most of us just won't have it.

So how have we got the cart before the cow?

Here are 5 ways I know of. Each can stop your cart dead in its track unless you turn the whole thing the other way round.

The first is to do with making happiness conditional. We think we first have to do something/succeed (get a divorce, whatever) then we can be happy. Actually it's the other way round. Happiness precedes success. You can be happy right now instead of first waiting for the cows to come home. And more likely it will cause them to want to come home because they'll sense your good vibes.

It's hard to admit that we have total choice over our emotions. All we actually have to do to change how we are feeling is make another choice.

I remember the first time this dawned on me. It was about a zillion years ago when I was a young student sitting in the library cramming for an exam in abnormal psychology. The more cases I read the more depressed I got. I was pretty sure I had every single one of those terrible mental conditions described in the textbook, including a simple personality! Eventually I could take it no more and I went off to drown my sorrows in the student canteen. At the entrance there was a photo display of a squatter camp in Cape Town called Crossroads. I was absolutely shocked by the photos. Not because of the squalor or poverty but because everyone looked so happy! These beautiful black and white photos of joyous smiling faces on people who owned absolutely nothing cured me in a flash of about 100 different conditions of schizophrenia, psychosis, various manias etc. I was deeply humbled and grateful at the same time. There was nothing wrong with me or my life whatsoever and I chose to be happy instead of sad from that moment on, just like the beautiful people in the photos. Byron Katie's book: Loving What Is, is a good resource for this technique.

Something similar is putting your whole life on hold until X or Y happens. The next time you blink you're in a rocking chair wishing you'd lived your life instead of just intending to.

Thirdly, is the idea 'seeing is believing'. Apparently we have this completely back to front and even scientists, whose credibility hangs on this premise, are beginning to come round to the possibility that actually the opposite is true: believing is seeing.

Fourthly, is the idea that making mistakes should be avoided. We think we need to be perfect before we get the show on the road. In fact it's the other way round, practice makes perfect. You can't improve without feedback and you can't get feedback without practice.

Number 5 is the one that really blows my mind. This is called Ho'oponopono. Basically what it means is that whatever your husband says or does (or even thinks!) really is totally and absolutely all your fault!! Well, I'm kidding, and I'm not. Ho'oponopono is the Hawaiian code of forgiveness.

Have you ever heard of a guy from Hawaii called Dr Len? Apparently he cured a whole ward full of dangerous criminals just by working on himself, deciding what part of himself each of these criminals was reflecting and saying 'I love you I am sorry.' You can read more about this here.

Everything that shows up in your life is a fragment of you. The more you change in the inside the more this is reflected in the world and people around you.

I think the best way to understand this whole situation is to think of a hall full of mirrors. If you don't show up yourself, the hall will be empty.

As soon as you reach out, then so does the whole hall/ world that surrounds you.

Cart before cow? We usually think it works the other way around. If someone else loves and supports me then I will to.

How can hands help with making your cart go forwards?

Your hands are the interface between you and the world. Think of them as your rear view mirrors. If you can see a cow in them you're facing the wrong way (only kidding!) Your hands are mirrors and they can show you when you're busy putting your lipstick on your eyebrow instead of slightly lower down.

Now why didn't you tell me sooner it was a horse's behind I should be looking at and not a cow's? Don't tell me this is all my fault! I already know it!
; )


Hand analysis tip:

What do wrong way round carts look like on hands?

They look just like little carts but from an aerial perspective.
If you have a box on your heart line under the middle finger
this means you feel like you're in a logistic logjam,
boxed in by the details of your every life.
If you have cross hatching inside this box then the situation is much more extreme. Time to have your hands read!

Diamonds are NOT a girl's best friend (FREE hand analysis teleclass Wednesday, 21st May.)

Diamonds are great to have, but not when it comes to markers in your hand.

Unlike stars, diamonds are line formations you really don't want to have in your hands.

Why not?

Because usually they mean frozen energy of one sort or another. What they mean exactly depends on where they show up in your hands.

Diamonds under your middle finger (Saturn) are quite rare. If you've got this marker in your hand you'll be keen to get rid of it because it mean frozen assets.

This is a marker that forms when you your money reserves or property is chronically blocked. At a deeper level; it has to do with blocked inner assets. Hands are a perfect reflection of how one's outer world reflects one's inner reality. This is a great example. Saturn diamonds indicate that you have talents and gifts that you are not conscious of that can't be utilized until you start paying attention to other markers in your hands. We'll be discussing this marker and several others related to Saturn in tomorrow's mastermind class.

The next mastermind class - you're invited!

Tomorrow's next mastermind class is Wednesday, 21 May, 2008 at 9pm Swiss and South African time. (12 noon Pacific, 3pm Eastern.)

You're invited to attend just this once, free of charge.

We'll be looking at all the ways Saturn energy shows up in your hands.

This gory painting by Goya is my favorite image of Saturn, also known as Chronis, the god of time who ate his children.
Saturn does this sort of thing if you don't pay attention to him!

Saturn is a hard task master. He's all about time, detail, money responsibility and contracts.
He's a master teacher and he specializes in issues related to self worth, value, integrity and guilt. We'll be looking at your middle finger, the lines and other markers that show up under this finger and what they mean specifically.

We'll be looking at the connection between self worth and integrity and also how your hands reveal what ingredients are missing or where you need to focus more to keep Saturn from gobbling you up.

If you'd like to listen in to this class you can register at the bottom of the member's page for free. Once you register you'll be given the link to the webcast page where you can listen in live or to the replay after the call. You'll be amazed what you can learn about yourself in so short a space of time! If you don't wish to stay in the group simply unsubscribe yourself straight after the call.

What type of antennas do you have?

The tips of your fingers reveal how you perceive the world. They are your antenna types. They indicate both your receiver and transmitter style. Your antennas filter information coming in from the world around you.

Round square spatulate pointy

There are 4 basic finger tip types: rounded (conic), square, spatulate and pointy. As usual this can be related to the elements:
Water, earth, fire and air, and in this case, etheric.

Look at your hands right now. What tip type do you have?

It's quite possible that you have a different shape on each finger. If that's the case, hang fire, we're get there.

Most people have rounded (conic) tip types. This a water characteristic, indicating a tendency to be friendly, sociable, cheerful, emotional, impulsive, imaginative and easily influenced. Children usually have rounded finger tips. The shadow side? You could try too hard to please others. Index (Jupiter) fingers are usually rounded.

Square tipped fingers indicate order and exactitude. This is a practical earth attribute related to precision, regularity, caution. The shadow side? People with square tips could play the tyrant if these characteristics are taken to the extreme. Middle fingers (saturn) are often square shaped because this is the same energy that runs through this finger.

Spatulate tips indicate creativity, originality, inventiveness and a need for endless action. This is a fire characteristics. The shadow side? Are you a whirlwind, changing everything around you just for the sake of it? Ring fingers (apollo) are usually slightly spatulate. Makes sense because creativity is the energy associated with this finger.

Pointy finger tips indicate a spiritual focus. This is an etheric attribute. People with these tip types are in this world but not of it: highly intuitive, dreamers, poets and mystics. The shadow side? therre's always a danger of becoming too fanatical. Pinky and index (Mercury and Jupiter) fingers get pointy more often than other fingers.

If your fingers are not all the same tip type then which shape is on which finger is important. When ever pointy tips show up individually this is a big deal. As are any shapes out of the norm, such as a square tip on a pinky finger or a rounded tip on Apollo.

How can you tell what this means?

Briefly, each finger has a differnt type of energy running through it. Index fingers have Jupiter energy such as leadership and vision. Middle fingers express saturn energy, such as structure, systems and detail. Ring fingers express apollo energy. In other words, how you express your creativity. Little fingers (Mercury), are to do with communication and relationships, both inner and outer (left hand vs right).

So, simply combine the two characteristics. If your pinky is pointy this means mean spiritual communication is vital. This is the mark of a spiritual advisor or psychic. It also means this person wants a partner who is willing to walk this path with them or at least endorse and support their mission.

A square tipped pinky indicates good business sense. A pointy middle finger is more rare. This is called the druid's cap. This indicates an interest in obscure or ancient systems, cosmology, etc. Conic shaped ring fingers are also unusual. This indicates a need for visual harmony. If you have this type of ring finger, chances are you pin your friends down and pluck their eyebrows or do whatever it takes to restore your own sense of visual harmony!

Can you do cartwheels?

Jules is on the trampoline practicing his somersaults. It's been
a long process getting to where he is now. His aim is to land on
his feet after each somersault. These days he does
occasionally get it right but, more often than not, he lands
flat on his bottom.

Does this faze him? No! Almost before he lands, he's up again,
ready for another attempt.

Watching him makes me think about us adults. How many of us
actually allow ourselves the luxury of so much trial and error?
We all know practice, practice, practice makes perfect. But
somehow most of us try to skip the icky middle part of the
sandwich.

Why?
We judge each botched attempt as 'failure' rather than what it
really is. Just another attempt. If only we could learn to
praise, even celebrate ourselves, just for being out there
trying, we would change our results dramatically.

The other thing that trips us up is we think we have an
audience. Usually a whole tribe, with bones through their noses,
baying for our blood or waiting for a good excuse to laugh up
their sleeves. This is an illusion!

Maybe the only way around this is to play with the illusion.
Visualise your whole tribe, bones and all. And see them cheering
and pounding drums every time you stand up for another attempt.

Paul Scheele, father of photoReading did an interesting
experiment once to demonstrate how we learn. He got 2 people to
undertake the same task in front of a large audience.

One got an alarm each time he did something wrong. The other got
an alarm each time she did something right. The difference in
results was astonishing. The one froze after a while and eventually and gave up. The other achieved the goal in practically no time at all and walked away feeling like a queen!

The question is, can we adjust our own inner alarms so that they
don't blast us out the water every time we dare to actually
practice? Can you reward yourself for trying, rather than beat
yourself up for not getting it perfect each and every time?

Back to cartwheels.

Ever since I watched a dear friend do cartwheels across the road
at a cycle race I've secretly wanted to do them too. They seem
such a fun, playful way to express
being-alive-and-well-and-happy-to-be-on-this-planet-in-this-
particular-body-at-this-particular-moment-in-time.
That was 20 years ago and still I can't do cartwheels!

Why not?
Fear of falling. Fear of looking like a fool while falling.
And stalling: putting things off til tomorrow!

So, what to do?

There are 2 healthy choices and one unhealthy one.
The healthy choices are: Either give up on the dream and make
peace with this or actually walk through these fears to the
other side.

The unhealthy choice? Keep saying: next year I'll do it!

Why is this unhealthy? Because every time you promise yourself
something and don't carry through, you're training yourself in
failure. Do this often enough and it becomes a habit that'll put
your life on autopilot in exactly the wrong direction.

Okay then, cartwheels here I come!
Yiiiiiiii, what have I said?

Once this choice is made, how does one actually walk through the flames?

Nothing beats finding a helping hand. Someone you trust like a
big safe cushion. Who'll keep applauding every fluffed attempt.

That's another area we slip up. Even if we know someone like
this, we're often too shy to ask them for help. We simply don't
realise that most people would feel honoured rather than put
out.

So?
I've enlisted my son Jules as my trainer! He's already moved me
from straight rolls to knee flips. His reward? He gets to crack
the whip and mama jumps! But, what if he laughs?
I'll simply have to read this as affection!

Before I could finish writing this, we had a big storm and
Jules's trampoline did a few cartwheels all on its own. Luckily
Jules wasn't on it or he could have ended up like Dorothy, in
another land altogether. It needs repair but there's an upside:
it was on a slope and, until now, he could only really
use half of it. Now there really is no excuse not to dig out the
entire area underneath it or reinstall it in a better place.


Good luck with your own cartwheels this week,
in whatever field you care to make them.

If you're feeling shaky, think of me and my 9 year old
sadist..Yiiiiiiiiii!!, thank God for wind! ;-)

PS: If you'd like to improve the cartwheels in your life,
the first step is to figure out what pattern they follow.

You can do this through hand analysis.

Are you a genius? Or a gifted writer?

If you’ve got three little vertical lines on your upper pinkie
on either hand these are called ‘lines of genius’.

Some days I look at my hand and get all excited to see them,
other days they disappear completely!

So?
I’m thinking of just tattooing them in permanently.
At least then I’ll have one less thing to fret about!

Actually lines of genius have nothing to do with
being a genius. This is a gift marker that indicates a special
ability for mass communication.

If you have this marker and you’re not using it, you’ll know all
about it.

Why?
Because, if you’re not using this awesome talent, the shadow side
kicks in.

And what is the shadow side of this marker?
Going round in circles, one foot on the gas, the other on the
brake.

The solution?
There’s only one: Just do it! Start writing or public speaking today.

markers in your hands, download the book here:

Let’s go back to my original question:
Are you a genius?

If you answered ‘no’ you are dead wrong.
Every human being is a genius; unfortunately we’ve just had this
knowledge knocked out of us at an early age. Usually by grade 1 teachers
who tried their damnedest to convince us of the opposite.

Each of us has equal access to source/the universal infinite
mind. All we have to do is learn to open the tap.

The way to do this is by quietening one’s mind.

If you’re anything like me, this is a lot easier said than done!
There are lots of ways to do this, active or passive. One simple
way is to count backwards from 50 focusing on your breath.
Counting on each breath.

Here’s an excellent affirmation from John Demartini.
Something he recommends you say to yourself every morning as you
wake up, and get your children to say:

‘I’m a genius and I apply my wisdom!’

Hey, let’s try it!
It costs nothing and well, I can’t see any disadvantages.

Happy tap dancing,
Jena

Is your life in danger of being hijacked?

In some countries there is a very real danger of being hijacked
and having your car stolen. In other countries it’s your biggest
dreams that get taken, right from under your nose.

I’m not sure which is worse. A gun squeezed against your temple
for your car keys, or a dream squeezed out of you at an early
age.

In Switzerland, more than any other country, the risks of having
your car keys taken are virtually nil. I’ve left my keys in the
ignition for years and I can’t seem to tempt anyone! (But then
maybe this is a reflection of my car rather than the country!)
:)
Still, dream hijacking is huge. And just because you can’t see
the violence, doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

So, how do dreams get hijacked?

Have you ever watched a frigate bird in action?

This is a big black sea bird. Frigates are the pirates of the
bird world.
They even look like pirates! These birds hover up high waiting
for other seabirds to catch a fish.
As soon as they spot one with a full beak they dive bomb. The
poor gull gets such a fright they drop their dinner and the
frigate scoops up the bounty without missing a wing beat.

Something similar happens in the human world. It’s called shame
and humiliation. Children are most vulnerable to being shamed or
humiliated. So are people who haven’t really examined who they
are and what they stand for. You get bumped and whoops. Next
minute you’re on another track, and your life feels empty.

How does this work?

Something happens to cause you to feel deeply shamed. (You get
dive-bombed) This is an unbearable feeling and often the only
solution is to simply numb out. The more you numb out, the more
you lose touch with your core desires. (You drop your fish, the
one thing that feeds you.) This then causes you to numb out even
more. You’re no longer connected to your feelings. Now anything
can happen. You have no boundaries, maybe even no respect. You
become putty in anyone’s hands, easily molded. This causes even
more numbness and eventually (if you’re lucky!) anger or
depression.

Why lucky? Well then you know something’s wrong and you can fix
it.

This sounds extreme and it can be, especially in cases of sexual
violation. But what about shaming as a form of social control,
by teachers or over-authoritarian parents? We get trained to
tow the line, conform, be responsible and quit dreaming. So we
put our deepest dreams on hold, often for an entire lifetime.
Sometimes the only way to cope with this violation is to numb
out completely to your heart’s calling. We become numb to our
own feelings and deep passions. Sometimes this numbness is so
deep and has lasted so long we don’t even know it exists!

So, what can we do?
We can find out who we really are and what we really want. A
very good way to do this is through hand analysis.

http://www.handanalysisonline.com/consultation.php

Also, ask yourself: who really is steering my life?

If you don’t choose what you want to do with every minute of
your life, someone else will do this for you!

Look back at your last week, last month, last year.
To what extent did you do what you really wanted or was it
someone else’s idea?

Sometimes we think we are steering but actually we aren’t!

How so?

We are creatures of habit and habitual thinking. Most of our
habits come from our parents or early teachers.
As Bob Proctor says: “You are the product of someone else’s
habitual way of thinking.”

To what extent are you conscious of the habits and belief
systems controlling your life? To what extent are you making
decisions based on faulty thinking inherited from your family:
generational fear, ignorance, stories told over and over? We
can’t change what we are not aware of.

The good news?
You can change any habit or belief you like. It takes only 21
days of willpower and then the new habit/belief becomes
automatic and runs on autopilot.
The problem is, we often don’t know what faulty thinking is
running our lives. If you don’t know what to change, you can’t
change it!

Questions I ask myself: what are the secondary benefits to
staying blocked? What am I currently getting out of not moving
forward?

To what extent are you aware of the choices you make and your
core values?
And to what extent are you in touch with your deepest heart’s
desire: Your soul’s calling?

Are you being blocked from living your passions by faulty family
thinking? Or are you being blocked by shame?

The more you explore what’s really blocking you, and what you
value, the freer you become to live the life of your dreams.

The way I see it, here are 4 steps: 1. Explore who you are (hand analysis)
2. Explore what you really want. Are your wants really your
wants?
3. Explore what you stand for (your values)
4. Figure out what’s blocking you.

Why know your values? Because if you know what you stand for you
can’t get bumped/humiliated.
Also, if your wants clash with your values then they are probably
not your wants but someone else’s.

Here’s a small example from my life. The other day I went to
visit a friend and I took a video with me of my son ‘practicing’
his violin. I thought the video was rather funny but my friend
was horrified. There he was, strumming this delicate precious
instrument singing, ‘I’ve got a little guitar, oh yeah!’
Actually she was more than horrified. It was painful for her to
even look at the video and she chastised me for allowing it.
If I didn’t have a clear idea of what my values are, that I
value creative expression over material object, I may have felt
deeply shamed and would have started tightening up on Jules in
ways that don’t align with my heart.

But let’s push this to the extreme. What if he stomps on his
violin and sets fire to it like Jimmy Hendrix?
I’ll probably just strangle him! He can do that when he’s a
virtuoso and bought the thing himself.
Yes, Jules does have to learn to respect and care for his
instrument and, as his mother, this is my responsibility to
teach. But I believe he also has to be free to experiment.
Where to draw the line? There are no right and wrong answers
here. It is just a question of values and why you need to be
completely clear about what you personally treasure most.

What do you value most in life? Freedom or security? Beauty or
creative expression? Family or independence? Pure air or owing a
car? Once you know what you stand for you cannot be shifted off
course by other people. You cannot be shamed. You will be less
likely to drop your fish when a frigate dive-bombs you. You’re
prepared! You’ve thought about the subject and made a conscious,
rather than unconscious choice.

Back to blocked passions and finding out what yours are. There’s
Hand analysis for showing you where you are blocked. And there’s
David Neagle for helping you leapfrog over faulty family
thinking.

How do blocked passions show up in hands?

This issue can show up in the fingerprints or in the lines.
If it shows up in the fingerprints, this is a major issue in
your life.
How does it show up in fingerprints? The lowest ranked
fingerprint is on left index finger.
And in Lines? Look for a combination of these:
An attack line to the Pluto area (anger from
thwarted ambitions) or career line
An attack line to Saturn (a depression indicator)
An index finger that bends away from the thumb (a power giveaway
marker)
A heart line that has fork down into the Mars area (can’t say
no)
A co-dependency line (not in own movie)
A career line that starts inside the lifeline (parent’s chose
career)
Bubbles, Grills, diamonds or boxes under the middle finger or on
the headline (indecision etc related to career)
A bubble on the bottom of the lifeline (a burden of family
expectations).
These just some of many examples.

If you would like to learn more about these indicators and how
they can help you to better understand yourself and others,

How rats can change your fortune.

Just when I thought all the hullabaloo of New Year was over
along comes Marie Diamond (Feng shui guru of gurus) with the reminder that 7 February is New Year according to the Chinese scheme of things.


You might think, I’m not Chinese! What has this got to do with me? !

A lot actually because this calendar is tied in to energetic moon cycles that affect the entire planet. This is not a hard and fast fixed date like our New Year is, but varies from year to year.

The first time I really took notice of this calendar was when my son was born 9 years ago in Phuket. His Thai birth certificate says he was born in the year 2542! (year of the rabbit).

They count the years from Buddha not Christ).

Funnily enough he was born on Easter Sunday, which is one of the few days on our calendar that ‘floats’ the way the Chinese NY does. (Also, being year of the rabbit, he really is the Easter Bunny!)

The other day I overheard him talking to friends. He told them, although we celebrate his birthday on 4 April, his real birthday is the 8th!

I chipped in with, ‘Huh…..???? How do you work that out?’ and he said, ‘Well, I was born on Easter Sunday and Easter Sunday was the 8th!

This started me off on a rather convoluted explanation of how Easter Sunday is different every year and when he was born it just happened to be on the 4th. In response, he very quickly pointed out how lucky he was having 2 birthdays every year instead of just one like everyone else!

We’re not all as lucky as Jules to have two birthdays a year, but we can all enjoy two New Years quite legitimately if we’re willing to embrace the opportunity.

So, if you’ve already blown your New Year’s resolutions, here’s your second chance! Tell everyone you work according to the Chinese calendar, which is far more ‘in tune’ with your inner needs!

What has this got to do with luck, let alone hand analysis?

We each have 3 kinds of luck. One third is Heaven luck, one third Human luck and one third Earth luck.

Heaven luck has to do with everything you were born into. The day and place you were born, your gender, the family you were born into etc. For a hand analysis point of view, your dermatoglyphics (fingerprint pattern) is part of your heaven luck.

Why? Your fingerprints show your highest and lowest energy before you were born (from a family DNA point of view or a karmic wound point of view depending on what you believe). This is the part of you that needs to be grown. The real reason why you are on this planet.

Your hands also show your Human luck: Your talents, temperament and other personality resources and how you can best use those resources.

Earth luck is not visible in your hands. But you can use your hands to change Earth luck more easily than the other two lucks.

How? By consciously manipulating your environment, adding, removing or moving objects that cause either beneficial or harmful energies into your surroundings. This can be obvious, like electro smoke or radioactive material or subtler, like Feng shui activators. You can also use your hands to improve the energy around you with intention.

So, how can you hop into the Chinese NY on the right foot?

Between now and the 7th Feb, change your doormats for a fresh start. Activate various Feng shui stars if you are into that sort of thing. For example, bring abundance in your life by putting a long pointy quartz crystal in the East part of your home.

And what’s with the Rat?

Marie Diamond’s advice:
“To bring the support of the Earth Rat year into your life, place a small (two to three inches) quartz crystal or a yellow or gold stone such as amber in the North area of your living room or workplace. Look for one that has a long shape so it resembles the shape of a little mouse. If your Chinese astrological animal is the Rat, or if you are the Rat’s ally or secret friend (Dragon, Monkey, and Ox), place an image or object of a mouse or rat instead of the crystal. For children this can even be a cartoon image if preferred.”

So, to risk being told I’m repeating myself…..Happy New Year!!!

Stop. Breathe. Smile!

Yesterday I interviewed Taoist teacher Casey Kochmer on the 'art of being'.

Casey shared some really useful tips about dealing with stress, living in the now and bringing harmony and balance into our lives.

You can listen to the replay here:

http://www.instantteleseminar.com/?eventid=1801641
or download it onto your computer or ipod for later.

If you don’t have time to listen to the full interviewm here’s Casey’s main advice:

Whenever you find yourself in a stressful or uncertain situation:
Stop. Breathe. Smile.

In other words, stop whatever you are doing or thinking for a moment.
Focus on your breathing.
Smile.

Simple as that.

Just thinking maybe we could simplify further by remembering this technique as
SOS. ‘O’ being the shape of your mouth when you take a deep breath.

Interesting how similar the philosophy is between Taoism and hand analysis.
Namely, the law of polarity, the paradox principle and the ying/yang principle are all the same thing. You can’t have one element without also having its opposite. The seeds of one pole are at the core of the other. Eg. The seeds of success are inside every failed attempt.

I’ll summarise some key points Casey made in the next blog .

Day 12 - the 12 month grace shower

We heal the planet by healing ourselves.

This day is dedicated to all people who are engaged in the idea of spontaneous, miraculous self healing.

The idea was inspired by my dear friend and fellow writer and dreamer Edwina Peterson Cross
who has just undergone spinal surgery, and a family friend Jas who is recovering from cancer.
Both these women have boldly embraced the concept of spontaneous, miraculous self healing and I salute them for their courage. Most of us do not realise the enormous wealth of what we have because we have ever lost it (our perfect health).

I'd like to entertain the idea of creating and anchoring a grace shower on this planet that anyone can step into whenever each of us needs extra energy, grace, help, guidance, healing...

The design of this shower is a mixture of 3 ideas:
Part comes from Tom Kenyon and his Hathors, part from Sanaya Roman and Orin from her books, Spiritual Growth or Soul Love and part from Suzanna Kennedy

Whenever you have extra joy or bliss you wish to share with others, at any time of the day or night, or specifically at 7am and 12 noon and 10 pm Pacific time (7 am, 4 pm and 9 pm Swiss time) please do the following exercise:

Imagine golden light coming down through your head to your heart and then going down to the center of mother Earth. Mother Earth responds by sending a ruby red ray back up to souce runnung through your heart. The two rays dance together in your heart and when you are ready you send a ray of rainbow light to connect your heart with each of the hearts of everyone else in the circle of healing. This circle of connectedness makes it possible to bring down a huge shower of grace in the middle of this circle.

Who ever wishes to step into this circle and into this grace shower can do so at any time.

Protect yourself with sacred geometry: Put yourself fully into an octahedron whenever you feel you need protection. For example, when lying on your bed, imagine the 4 corners of your bed being the 4 corners of the base of a pyramid. A pyramid goes up above you and down below you.
This diamond shape is an octahedron. Put yourself completely inside it, any size or direction you care. For more information, see Tom Kenyon's site.
Or use the star of David or any other sacred geometry you know of.

I'm off for a few days of dreaming in the mountains.
So, if you send me a mail and don't hear from me, please donit be offended!

As they say in Switzerland, wishing you a Gute Rutsch (a good slide) into 2008.

with love and appreciation,
Jena

Day 11- Stepping beyond your comfort zone

In order to grasp and fully utilise all the gifts offered to you on all the previous days
You need to learn how to step beyond your own comfort zone.

David Neagle teaches these skills in a seminar twice yearly, his next is in Las Vegas 15-17 January 2008. Listen to my interview with him here, get a free evaluation from a coach trained by him and have his CD program ‘Just Believe’ posted to you free of charge here. (I’ve checked it out. There is no pressure to buy anything. Accept this as a gift from the universe for having the courage to step beyond your comfort zone to embrace the idea that ‘receiving is also giving’. )

Learning to feel the fear and do it anyway

One has to learn to go through the zone of uncomfort. Normally we go into this zone and then step back. We have no training in going through the zone of discomfort to the zone of success.
Neagle says usually we only experience this as babies, being encouraged to walk. Later parents focus on teaching their children to be cautious rather than adventurous.. We don’t have the experience of going over the uncomfortable line into the zone where in becomes comfortable and where we experience a different result. This is an awareness that has to be learnt through direct experience. Neagle specialises in this training.

I like to think of the analogy of Elephants in India who can be bound by a tiny chord tied to a post. As a baby, the animal learnt that it couldn’t move the post. As it grows up it gives up trying. It simply believes it can’t break free. This is absolutely not true. As adults, they just haven’t tried and never do!! They are bound by their belief.
We are all like these elephants, bound by faulty programming, our belief in our own limitations.

We are raised to listen to listen to the voice of caution, to concerns, fears, irrational beliefs and this flips us back in the direction we don’t wish to go in.
Do you have the awareness to see the gift in whatever it is you are attracting? If you do, you can transform your life really quickly. (Everything you attract is an opportunity, where is the hidden gift?)

Learn how to be resourceful. The resources are there the whole time. One just has to seize them. One has to learn how to think on one’s feet to manifest something from nothing in a very short period of time.

Other thoughts from David:
Dealing with defensive people/children – when someone is defensive they are in fear of something being taken away, usually something being taken away from their identity. This makes them feel no good, not adequate. Help others/your children t
