The New Paradigm is here but we still need to create a new world. This is a powerful time to redefine and re-create ourselves and our lives. We have an opportunity to co-create a world where we can live in harmony with ourselves, with each other, and with the environment. Let go of all of your judgement. Love. Forgive. Have no opinions. Don’t make assumptions. Think less, feel more.

What would you like to bring to this world? What brings you the most JOY? What do you feel the most passionate about? Pay attention to these clues, for they are the tools that we can use to create the highest expression of ourselves on this blank canvas that we’ve been presented with!

May 5th, 2012 (555) has come and gone, and here we are on the other side. I had the privilege of spending that auspicious time in Japan, along with a tribe of Warriors of Light from around the world. United as one heart, one mind, we focused our intention on harnessing the energy of the galactic alignment that weekend to help humanity to usher in the New Paradigm. There were also many people all over the world supporting this work by lighting candles, meditating, praying, and maintaining a joyful state while envisioning a new and better world for all of us. We’re now at the dawn of a magickal and exciting period of our human story. Now is the time to become the creators we came here to be!

A lot of things are going to change for a lot of people in these upcoming months. Our priorities will shift as we re-evaluate different aspects of our lives. Everything is changing, and the best advice I can give is to flow along with it. It’s change for the better, although it may seem challenging at times.

Here at Flame of Life Centre, we offer tools that will help you to thrive in this new energy. The Life Activation is something that everyone can benefit from, as we move into an age where living our highest purpose becomes more important than merely existing just to get by. Our classes will give you practical tools that you can use to enhance your life and surroundings on a daily basis, which will help you to integrate with the new energy that we’ve shifted into. And for those of you who wish to study further and explore the deeper mysteries of the universe, we offer a path of Initiation which will really take you to the next level and truly put you in alignment with your highest potential.

So I invite you to connect with us. Give me a call: 082 374 4051 or send me an e-mail: craig@flameoflifecentre.com or come over for a cup of tea if you’d like to know more. I’m here to serve you and this is your invitation to step forward and be the best YOU that you can possibly be!

Blessings,
Craig

We’re excited to announce that we have a NEW HEALING SESSION AVAILABLE:

Increase your energy, power and inner beauty with the Isis Healing!

It’s been a couple of months, I’ve gotten married, moved country, found a new job and am starting to find a new routine in a cold, wet country. It has been stressful and I’ve been in that “fight or flight” state for a while now. Adrenaline and stress hormones have poured through my body and have kept me going as I experience this new life.

This primeval state is only meant to last for a short time as we run away from the sabre-toothed tiger or some other olden day survival requirement. Things need to slow down. How do we do this when we find ourselves stressed continuously? Work, mortgage, loan payments, the stress of finding a new job, dealing with traffic, kids, emotional and physical demands being forced on yourself. In the old days you killed the sabre-toothed monster and your body used up the stress hormones and returned to a state of calm. Our physiological, emotional, mental and spiritual states all returning to a balance.

Not so in our modern world of continual stress. Do we ever have the chance to turn off the underlying sense of worry? I really do need to get the car serviced, fix the leaking gutter, clean the oven, pay that telephone bill or search for that cheap flight – so that I might enjoy my annual ten days leave. Do we ever have the chance to turn off the underlying sense of fear? How much more money can I make out of this job? Am I going to be retrenched? Fear that my investments are not going to be worth the paper they are printed on. Stress follows us around like a dark rain cloud, ready to dampen us at every opportunity.

It soon dawned on me that I had been missing my weekly meditation group. The hour every Wednesday evening had actually been playing a huge part in my life. A weekly de-stressor if you will, allowing me to work more efficiently with a smile on my face and a calmer mind for the rest of the week.

There has been a huge amount of scientific research into the benefits of meditation and it has been proven that advanced meditators use their whole brain in comparison to non-meditators. Some of the most brilliant minds, throughout history, have used their whole brain – Einstein, Picasso, Lewis Caroll to name a few and I suppose Buddha used his whole brain as well (I’d be surprised if he didn’t!)

The Dalai Lama has been reported as granting permission to the University of Wisconsin to study his Buddhist monks, who are all master meditators. In the universities high-tech brain lab the scientists discovered that, during meditation, the monks electroencephalogram patters increased and remained higher than the initial baseline taken from a non-meditative state. It’s all due to the Corpus Callosum the membrane that separates the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Now, I’m no scientist, but from what I can gather meditation creates a balancing that is due to the over 200 million nerves fibres in the Corpus Callosum which allows integration of information between the two hemispheres of the brain. Or something like that.

Funnily enough, American doctors have, over the past few years, increasingly started prescribing mediation to patients instead of the usual box of happy pills. New research has shown that people who meditate regularly are calmer and laugh more. Funny that. The Dalai Lama did whoever cautioned that meditation is not a silver bullet cure-all for every problem and that meditation takes patience, so don’t expect immediate results.

I was without my regular meditation practise session so I signed up to do the Max Meditation^TM teacher training. I’m now qualified to lead classes and am finding that I’m settling in, stress levels are down and I am more detached from stressful situation so therefore there is less drama in my life. Definitely a positive result in my life.

Max Meditation System^TM is a wonderful simple system that combines many elements that are well suited to our busy Western minds.  It was developed by Dr Gudni Gudnason who spent many years travelling around the world learning ancient methods from prominent teachers in India and Tibet. By combining these with his understanding of Psychology and NLP he developed Max Meditation. The hour is made up of five parts a Relaxation (of the whole body), Passive Meditation (an emptying of the mind), Active Meditation (allowing energy to come in) a Guided Visualization (a journey) and a Soothing Down (which brings you back to reality).

It is amazingly simple, the benefits are felt almost immediately and this natural and normal experience has been around since the beginning of human existence.

Somebody great (it might have been Buddha) once said “Meditation brings Wisdom” – I like that.

People have reported many benefits of Max Meditation and I’ve listed some of them below.

Obviously there is the reduction of stress and tension, the main reason you hear about people doing regular meditation, but there can also be a release of physical and emotional pain. With meditation you gain more control over your thoughts and become detached from situations thereby leading a life with less drama. Then there is increased concentration, happiness and peace of mind which can lead to spontaneity and creativity, allowing you to discover your purpose in life. Regular practice builds self confidence, enhances your energy, strength and vigour and can help increase clarity. Then there is my favourite – the increase of serotonin – the feel good neurotransmitter that helps with moods. Low levels of serotonin are associated with depression, headaches and insomnia. So meditation is good.

To find out more contact Craig and his team at the Flame of Life Centre in Cape Town for their weekly classes.

Max Meditation System™ takes place every Wednesday at 7pm at the centre.

We all have our own piece and we can all work together to create harmony on earth. One of the most important steps to create change in our lives and in the world, is to build a solid foundation. This foundation is what we stand on to create anything in our lives and the stronger our foundation is, the greater our capacity to wield magick and create change.

The most powerful magick is the magick that transforms us. By affecting change in our own consciousness, we empower ourselves to wield the energy we need in order to change the world. It all starts within, and it’s always worth investing in yourself in order to learn and grow.

This weekend at Flame of Life centre, we’re offering foundational Mystery School classes that form the core of the school’s curriculum. This is useful for anyone who wants to dip their toes in the water and discover some of the teachings and tools that we have to offer, and will also be of value to any of you who have already taken a few steps and would like to progress further along this path. These classes form the foundation that we build on for any of the school’s advanced training, and the deeper and further you go along this path, the more you will find yourself returning to this foundation.

These are tools that will help you to transform your life, turn your environment into a sacred space, develop your psychic awareness, connect directly to your inner guidance, and so much more! Invest in yourself and live a magical life… I’ll be doing more traveling and training in the next few months, so I’d recommend taking advantage of these opportunities when they’re available. Seats are limited, so RSVP is essential to reserve your spot. Contact me at craig@flameoflifecentre.com if you’re ready to take your journey to the next level with us this weekend.

Blessings to all of you!

So 2012 is here. A lot has been said about this year and many people have been looking forward to it, even if out of sheer curiosity just to see what happens.

Hype aside, one thing that can be said with certainty at this time, is that things are changing. It’s up to us to collectively determine the nature of these changes, as the energy is high and we’re standing at a threshold of consciousness, ready to take a leap of faith into the unknown.

We have the power to work together to create a world that works for all of us, a world that we would choose to live in, a world that is a beautiful and harmonious place for the generations to come. And it all starts with each one of us making small changes in our own lives and allowing these changes to ripple outwards to uplift and inspire those around us to do the same.

This is a year for creating and implementing solutions. For a long time we have known that there are problems in the ways things are run, and in the way that resources are managed. Let’s take this year as an opportunity to explore the alternatives. There are many options available to us already and a lot of potential solutions that are inviting us to take action.

In essence, this can be a year of new beginnings for all of us. The dawn of  a New Paradigm in which we take responsibility for ourselves, our energy and our actions, and work together to create a better world for everyone!

I invite you to join us in this journey, as we learn and grow together through the unfoldment of this interconnected tapestry we call life. Here’s to making 2012 the best year ever!!

Love and blessings to all of you.

In service,
Craig

So we’re almost at the end of 2011 already, and what an eventful year it’s been! It’s been a year of growth and expansion for many of us, and of releasing old habits and patterns that no longer serve. We’ve seen disasters, revolutions, and experienced the sense of unity that comes from people standing together for a common cause.

Next year will see more changes happening, both expected and unexpected, as well as more people coming up with solutions to the current global problems. We’re at a critical point in our history, we’re presently experiencing the transition period between two paradigms. It can be uncomfortable at times, but it’s all worth it. We’re on the brink of something truly beautiful and unprecedented, and we have a lot to look forward to.

This weekend will be the last workshops at Flame of Life Centre for 2011. I won’t be teaching these classes again until next year, so If you’ve been wanting to attend but haven’t gotten around to it yet, now would be a good time to take action!

We’ll have some social events coming up before the end of the year so stay tuned.

Wishing you all a great weekend. Enjoy the warm weather and remember to spend time doing something that brings you joy!

Blessings,
Craig
