A n d H a p p y V a l e n t i n e rsquo s D a y Even living in the Western Isles of Scotland you canrsquot escape the commercial message that Valentinersquos Day approaches I find it interesting that my eye has become quite practised at tuning out to all the red and glitz much as it had with Christmas shortly before that

So I thought Irsquod set myself a bit of a consciousness challenge Rather than dismiss the hype as another commercial conspiracy aimed at manipulating us to mindlessly spend money I thought Irsquod look for the heart of Valentinersquos Day (sorry) - the essence and spirit of this festival of love

Well naturally when you go to the heart of any of our favourite rites and rituals its spirit is something deeply personal and incredibly beautiful More than anything Valentinersquos Day calls us to look honestly into our hearts Who or what do we really appreciate in our lives Are we living out who we really are with those we love Are there ways we could love ourselves better Have we lost faith in the magic that happens when our hearts really are allowed to be in charge

This is the inspiration for much of our work on the Origin Psychic Line In the quiet and intimate space of a psychic reading you can be confident that your heart can be heard - its doubts and wounds but also its hopes and dreams

I hope yoursquoll enjoy this monthrsquos digital edition of Origin Connections We have some exciting innovations - we welcome the first of our guest contributors Dr Jonathan Young Dr Young focuses much of his writing on the area of lsquoPersonal Mythologyrsquo - yoursquoll find his article about Imbolc on page 11 Irsquom sure yoursquoll also enjoy Rod Nicholsonrsquos lsquoMyth Busterrsquo feature - this is the first in a series wersquoll be presenting in the coming months - it begins on page 7 And donrsquot forget to celebrate Chinese New Year on February 3rd - this year is the Year of the Rabbit Being a Rabbit myself of course Irsquom excited about this Find out more about what the Rabbit year has to offer you on page 13

Have a great February

Welcome

In the quiet and

intimate space of a

psychic reading

you can be confident that your heart can

be heard - its doubts

and wounds

but also its hopes and

dreams

lsquoTo really open your heart to another you must first restore your faith in its wisdom Be still be quiet ndash listen to what comes to you from the depths of your own heart It really does know what it is doing When you look with your inner eye yoursquoll find there is always a light there Light and warmth These never ever die out ndash your heart always remains connected the divine can never be snuffed out That light however soft is eternal When you really remember this when you really know it in your very bones the tenderness in your heart will feel secure and your heart will be confident to stay open - to connect with others and at the same time be true to itself

That light that soft presence of the eternal divine is in the hearts of others too The Valentinersquos festival honours the connections we make in the tender places in our hearts You have nothing to fear Make a commitment this year to restore faith in the infinite wisdom - the kind of wisdom that can only be found in the recesses of your own heartrsquo

In honour of Valentinersquos Day Senior Reader Cathy Cox shares a channeling from the

Celtic Goddess Guinevere

Your Personal Valentinersquos RitualGet yourself comfortable by sitting quietly and slowing down your breathing Take your time relaxing down through every muscle in your body from your face your neck your shoulders chest hips and stomach down through your legs to the floor Do this several times until you are feeling calm centered and peaceful When you are ready take your intention to your heart Breathe in and imagine that you are breathing light into your heart Do this several times See it spiraling there expanding outwards with each outward breath Feel the warmth in your heart and how easy it is to share that warmth Your heart fire is easy to share - as you breathe out you are sending that warm heart song out into the universe and to those special people in your life and those who are still to come into your life Spend a few minutes in this beautiful space and then when you feel ready dig your heels into the ground take a deep breath and open your eyes again Know that you have created a beautiful loving heart song to go out into the universe and connect with other hearts

We all know that confidence can be one of the most attractive qualities in another person We are drawn to confidence in others because in essence lsquobeing confidentrsquo means being assured and positive about oneself and onersquos life and in a world filled with doubt negativity insecurity and anxiety a confident person is someone we naturally gravitate towards

In the media we are saturated with images of confident people ndash usually they are beautiful powerful funny charming determined and get what they want In many ways confidence has become synonymous with a certain kind of success Successful people are confident people Yet any basic examination of this argument reveals how ludicrous this idea is If success gave us confidence why does Robbie Williams one of the most successful musicians wealthy and desired by thousands of women struggle with issues of depression Why did Howard Hughes one of the richest men in the world live in such fear that he often couldnrsquot leave his room For the everyday person we may not attempt to achieve success on such a grand scale but the belief that our confidence relies on achieving a certain successful end persists - If I had the right boyfriend or if I get the right promotion then I will feel confident

Confidence based on success is what I would call lsquofalse confidencersquo - it is false because it is based on a view of ourselves as being able to be in control of our lives and the lives of others We view ourselves as isolated egos struggling to get to a point where we can be secure in the knowledge that if we want something we can make it happen I am confident because I know I am attractive and can find the relationship I want I am confident because I know Irsquom good at my work and therefore I will become wealthy and influence others Yet in reality often these beliefs crumble An attractive woman ages and is replaced by another attractive woman A successful man loses all his money due to an economic slump Will those people still feel confident We have all faced these points in our life and the temptation is to simply find some other external measure to make ourselves feel confident The aging attractive woman gets plastic surgery The wealthy man starts

How can we be truly confident

4

We all know that

confidence can be one of

the most attractive

qualities in another person

Yet what makes a

person genuinely

confident Bede

Nicholson explores this

question from a unique

perspective

a new business And as such we simply start the same cycle all over again

The first step to creating real confidence is to recognize that confidence is not based on achieving external goals but is related to our conception of our identity of lsquowho I amrsquo Our identities are often inherited from our childhood beliefs The more narrow and fixed our identity is then the more limited our confidence will be Some of us start out with negative self-conceptions like lsquoIrsquom fat and uselessrsquo and others with more positive ones like lsquoIrsquom attractive and good lookingrsquo While the positive conception certainly starts us out on a better footing in reality both are as limited as each other They are simply different sides of the same coin Both are based on a conception of the self limited by a superficial understanding of who you really are

The first step towards creating real confidence is to

recognize that confidence is related to our conception of our identity - of lsquowho I amrsquo

Lack of confidence often emerges when circumstances no longer allow us to take on a certain identity that we have used to make us feel worthwhile The empty nest syndrome is an obvious example of this If the idea that lsquo I am a good Motherrsquo is the central feature of a personrsquos identity then the kids moving away could become a real trauma We all face this same challenge in different ways The test of real confidence lies in our ability to let go of old identities and embrace new ones Real confidence is based on our ability to be open to change inside ourselves If you are a person who is stuck rigid or unwilling to change who you are then more likely than not you will spend much of your life desperately trying to make your life fit around your identity rather than the other way around The lsquogood motherrsquo will turn into the interfering grandmother The lsquogreat sportsmanrsquo will turn into lsquoaging has-been by the barrsquo

Creating real confidence requires us to develop a more expansive view of who we are which is not fixed

or limited by our beliefs For me I always start out with a basic viewpoint lsquoI am a good person connected and

open to the spark of the divine withinrsquo This conception of myself is not dependent upon me achieving a certain

goal or being good at a particular thing and no matter what situation I find myself in I can always stop and

reaffirm this deeper knowledge about who I am

A distrustful person can never be truly confident We can see many examples of this in real life You cannot be a good

business manager if you donrsquot know how to delegate and trust others to do the job You canrsquot win a football match if

you donrsquot trust your teammate enough to pass them the ball

lsquoI would prefer to be hurt a thousand times over to experience love once rather than to

never be hurt but also to never experience love at allrsquo

Many of us face moments in life when we feel our trust in others is being challenged It may be a divorce or a family feud where we end up feeling that everyone else is selfish and uncaring We may end up thinking lsquoI am on my own and the only person I can count on is mersquo It is impossible to maintain confidence when we view others

with suspicion and fear At this point you may ask lsquoSurely there are some people who donrsquot deserve our trustrsquo Certainly but there is a difference between being distrustful and being discerning Being distrustful is a suspicious and fearful perspective about others Being discerning is about being aware and clear about others faults and limitations When we are discerning we see the risks we make with open eyes We are aware that we may get hurt but we take a leap of faith My father once said lsquo I would prefer to get hurt 1000 times to experience love once than to never get hurt once and never experience love at allrsquo This is an attitude of real confidence

Myth Busters The paradigm of Scientific Materialism in MedicineB y R o d N i c h o l s o nHave you ever thought about how our doctors are taught What is their curriculum Upon what beliefs and assumptions is it based

I have been a professional educator all my life so as I have encountered doctors I have been curious about what goes on with their training and education especially when we have not seen eye to eye about what I should be doing to keep myself healthy

We are having big problems in our health systems throughout the Western world Could it be that our doctorsrsquo particular method of trained is a significant contributing factor In my opinion from an educational perspective I would say we have some serious thinking

to do here The truth is that our medical education is gravely behind the times

Our medical schools are still firmly entrenched in a belief in Scientific Materialism There are many ways in which the belief we have in scientific materialism is keeping our medicine stagnant I know they will hate me for saying this but in my opinion many members of the medical profession today are like the priests of the Catholic Church in the sixteenth century when Galileo was imprisoned They are holding on to beliefs and assumptions which are dead and buried although they refuse to see it at the moment

A doctorrsquos training is fundamentally no different than the training of a car engineer except that a human being is not a machine but has a mind and feelings and is not just more complicated than any car - we have a different level of being

We are called as a species lsquoHomo Sapiensrsquo The translation of this from Latin is lsquoWise manrsquo Humans require more from a doctor than simply body engineering

7

A lady friend of mine lying in hospital just recovering from a breast cancer operation said to the hospital doctor ldquo I am going to stay positive and believe in my ability to keep cancer at bay in the future through how I think and feelrdquo The doctorrsquos response was to say that there was no scientific evidence to show that the way you thought and felt had any relationship to cancer

Apart from the total insensitivity of what he had to say it was also untrue There is a great deal of evidence to show the relationship between our mind and our bodies He knew nothing about this evidence because he was locked in his belief system just as much as a fundamentalist Christian still asserting that God made the world in seven days

Our doctors are taught to believe in the body in mechanical terms as are we The heart is a pump the lungs are bellows our legs are levers and so on The belief is that we are biological machines and there is no correlation between our body and our mind and emotions

We have a hospital system that is still based on the model of factories from the industrial revolution There is now more danger to life and limb in going into hospital regardless of our medical reason than getting into our car or being a soldier in a war zone

When we visit our doctor he might hardly know our name and certainly little of our personality circumstances and background Often his diagnosis and treatment is likely to be centred around which drug to prescribe

The truth is that how we feel and how we think is central to our health If we are going to keep healthy and maintain our energy and vitality throughout our life we need to work on our inner world and our consciousness We have been brought up to believe we have no personal power with regard to our health and when we have a problem we look to a doctor to solve it for us just as we look for a TV technician with our TV or a car mechanic with our car

The classical physics of Isaac Newton forms the basis of our medical model ndash that based

in the laws of a mechanical universe The problem is that in 1925 the basis of physics

moved into a different universe the quantum universe with its understanding of an energy

universe and the interconnectedness of all things Our medical schools still after over 85

years have not come to grips with this paradigm shift and what it truly means for medicine and

health

We are encouraged to look after our bodies in the same way we look after our car Keep it clean service it regularly donrsquot stress it out by going beyond its capacity However cars do not have their own minds and feelings We do Mechanical care and servicing is not enough for us as human beings

We need inner training not outer training

I had my gall bladder out when I was in my late thirties I know why now I have quite a fiery nature I spent of lot of energy controlling my anger My anger grew into gall stones over a number of years I know this to be true for me No one had ever educated me in how to dissolve my anger I only knew how to deal with it through control hence the gall stones growing in a hidden way inside my body until at last something had to be done about it Surgery by that time was the only option

It is not too late for any of us to begin to re-educate ourselves We can all begin to start on an inner training programme The basic dynamo of a healthy energetic life begins and ends inside our own minds

Since the arrival of the modern industrial age most people have lost touch with the aliveness of nature Nevertheless there are many of us who feel the throb of that aliveness in our bodies and long to restore a real connection knowing it will help to heal and restore our energies and vitality

The Isle of Skye is a place where the aliveness of nature is still palpable Everyone who comes here feels its special energies immediately It is so wonderful to move out of the

Imbolc - A Day for the Queen of HeavenB y D r J o n a t h a n Y o u n g

Joseph Campbell believed that mythic stories draw us into accord with nature We tend to forget that we are still animals on a fragile planet The tales remind us of our place in the natural order

The oral tradition had rich reflections on the changes of the seasons In the Celtic calendar the first of the four fire festivals of the year is Imbolc It is celebrated on the second day of February

The divinity acknowledged in these early Spring rites is the goddess Brigid the queen of heaven She is the greatest of the

Celtic divinities and is closely associated with the land She is the protector of the wells and springs She is the guardian of nature and therefore agriculture She is specifically associated with livestock As a fertility goddess Brigid is also the patron of the poets artists and others who create Hence her name is invoked at childbirth

When Brigid slipped into the world a tower of flame rose from the top of her head to the heavens Her fire aspect means she is the goddess of the hearth and the forge She is the guardian of those who worked with metal By extension she is the goddess of the machine If we have difficulties with our cars or computers our pleas for divine intercession might be properly addressed to Brigid

The various historical details have contemporary psychological implications We can think of the deities as symbols of inner mystery If we ponder the images in the stories as if they had appeared in our dreams we will discover many

valuable insights Joseph Campbell thought myths were much like dreams Guidance through lifersquos difficulties could be drawn from their symbolism

The symbolism of wells and springs reflects the connection to the waters of life that emerge from unseen sources In psychological terms this could signify the wisdom of the unconscious that flows from mysterious origins

The key is developing a practice of receptivity For example contemplating our dreams can open us to an awareness greater than our conscious knowing

Brigidrsquos protection of agriculture and poetry underscores the need to tend our inner fertility Tending our forms of creativity is crucial to a fulfilling life The ancients believed that gifts of expression were only on loan We are reminded to remain grateful and to be good custodians of artistic talents

Her association with fire also pertains to the creative life Finding passion in our work is a major achievement Handling our energies well requires maturity It takes effort to find a balance where we have vitality without being consumed

The plume of fire radiating from her head connects her to the life of the

Jonathan Young PhD -- storyteller and psychologist -- assisted Joseph Campbell at seminars and was the founding curator of the Joseph Campbell Archives in Santa Barbara His books and articles focus on personal mythology His recent writing can be found at wwwfolkstorycom

Experiences of renewal often include bereavement We continually suffer losses especially in the moments of passage Claiming our wholeness includes valuing the sorrow for that which is no more

One traditional practice on her day was to put baked goods out on the doorstep They were called cakes for the queen of heaven These offerings were often eaten by hungry travelers in her name We might honor this custom by giving money to the homeless for something to eat on Imbolc The idea is to find a way to share the boon Those who have been blessed in life are called upon to develop some practice of service to others

Down through the years mythic stories continue to enchant On close inspection the images have much to say about modern life Joseph Campbell said the ability to see the metaphors in the old tales opens us to the richness of everything around us The whole world turns into a holy picture We can become aware of a dimension of significance in the ordinary that is nothing short of radiant

So let us honor the Great Mother the Queen of Heaven May we be open to her many gifts of inspiration in this season of renewal

Wholeness amp UnityI n t e g r a t i n g Y o u r M a l e amp F e m a l e E n e r g i e s

B y N a t a l i e A r k i n sldquoIn union there is strengthrdquo Aesop We are coming to a time where the issues of separateness and division are being broken down and a new consciousness of our unity and connectedness is blossoming This is happening at all levels- globally politically mentally spiritually and physically Science is even catching up with the spiritual consciousness movement and showing through experiments on quantum mechanics (called quantum entanglement theory 12) that at the most basic energetic level we are all connected across distance and time Unity does give strength but I believe we had to experience the separation to want to move towards unity The Buddha is quoted as saying ldquoUnity can only be manifested by the binary Unity itself and the idea of unity are already twordquo This means that unity can only really come from

things that are already separated already in binary form and that creates the urge to merge with another We are also divided from our own self- we think we are not whole until we merge with another being Like two halves of the same apple we need to find the person that is the perfect fit to us Our minds and emotions are divided creating a schizophrenic personality Wholeness starts when we connect the divisions within ourselves becoming whole and thereby creating the seeds of wholeness in our energy field We have to begin to unify within ourselves it is too big a task or concept to try to change others If we do try when they are not ready we are bound to fail and might harm the relationship we have with themNot surprisingly divisions also exist between the sexes According to the eastern philosophies malesolar energies are yang equated with the actions and in general are strong active and giving Femalelunar energies are yin equated with passive receptive and reflective qualities There are lots of theories about men and women being from different planets how different we think and feel and these seem to accentuate our separateness This sense of separation creates division not wholeness But this division within us and between the sexes is not true at our most basic genetic level we are more alike and share most genes3 Since genes are the blueprint

14

for our energy system it cannot be true on the outer experience either This

collective mental thought pattern or thoughtform (an idea that has created its

own energy and grows and spreads) has been perpetuated throughout the world and it is

time to change this thoughtform by reconnecting and integrating our own inherent

male and female energiesDuring our conception we are created by two

gametes coming together and fertilizing into a new whole being4 again two (binary) becoming

one The X and Y chromosomes share many genes and just a few are not shared- these are the genes

associated with the development of the male sex One gene determines male sex- the SRY gene

Physically we are an outer representation of our sexuality- externally male or female Internally we carry

the opposite sexual energy At certain points in our days we will have to make decisions and act Other times we

need to receive- let someone help us or let someone love us In essence we already express our wholeness but we can deceive ourselves into thinking that we are still split

There are many techniques that work to connect and integrate your male and female energy these vary from physical techniques using the breath (pranayama5 in yoga Nine purification breaths in the Tibetan Boumln tradition6) using the imagination visualisation or verbal affirmations When using the imagination and visualisation it is as easy as imagining that your male and female energies are united and whole or you may want to visualise your right and left sides uniting For those who prefer affirmations I have one that you can utilise or you can make up your own ldquoMy male and female energies are connected united and whole I am complete exactly as I am rdquo These techniques do not need to be repeated daily just say or do them when you feel the need to connect Then it is important to trust that you are whole and connected with your Male and Female energies

An affirmation for integrating your male amp female energies

lsquoMy male amp female energies are connected united and whole I am

complete exactly as I amrsquo

February Tarot T h e P a g e O f W a n d sThe Page of Wands is playful and maybe even a little mischievous It is like the striking of a match ndash a spark of initiative which hops and darts around getting things moving in our lives Imagine a tree sprite ndash small quick moving full of life and vitality daring you to chase it This is the essence of the page of Wands Have you become a little stuck in your ways Donrsquot be surprised if something unexpected happens in your day - not a major turn of events just something which challenges you to change course think differently change your timetable ndash even just to smile or laugh out aloud The Page of Wands doesnrsquot usually appear as a particularly obvious change in our lives nor a person who has a big impact on us But just as a single match can light a bonfire so the Page of Wands has the power to create real magic in our lives He reminds us to bring some lightness into our day and can be the beginning of a real shift in our intention Try in the midst of your day just to smile ndash for no apparent reason If nothing else people around you at work on the train or in the car next to you will wonder what is going on in your mind and you can experience a little mischievous moment of joy at the mystery you have created in their day

A n d H a p p y V a l e n t i n e rsquo s D a y Even living in the Western Isles of Scotland you canrsquot escape the commercial message that Valentinersquos Day approaches I find it interesting that my eye has become quite practised at tuning out to all the red and glitz much as it had with Christmas shortly before that

So I thought Irsquod set myself a bit of a consciousness challenge Rather than dismiss the hype as another commercial conspiracy aimed at manipulating us to mindlessly spend money I thought Irsquod look for the heart of Valentinersquos Day (sorry) - the essence and spirit of this festival of love

Well naturally when you go to the heart of any of our favourite rites and rituals its spirit is something deeply personal and incredibly beautiful More than anything Valentinersquos Day calls us to look honestly into our hearts Who or what do we really appreciate in our lives Are we living out who we really are with those we love Are there ways we could love ourselves better Have we lost faith in the magic that happens when our hearts really are allowed to be in charge

This is the inspiration for much of our work on the Origin Psychic Line In the quiet and intimate space of a psychic reading you can be confident that your heart can be heard - its doubts and wounds but also its hopes and dreams

I hope yoursquoll enjoy this monthrsquos digital edition of Origin Connections We have some exciting innovations - we welcome the first of our guest contributors Dr Jonathan Young Dr Young focuses much of his writing on the area of lsquoPersonal Mythologyrsquo - yoursquoll find his article about Imbolc on page 11 Irsquom sure yoursquoll also enjoy Rod Nicholsonrsquos lsquoMyth Busterrsquo feature - this is the first in a series wersquoll be presenting in the coming months - it begins on page 7 And donrsquot forget to celebrate Chinese New Year on February 3rd - this year is the Year of the Rabbit Being a Rabbit myself of course Irsquom excited about this Find out more about what the Rabbit year has to offer you on page 13

Have a great February
