Newsletter December 2007
Greetings!
It's that time of year when every one is rushing around busily buying Christmas presants and often wondering how they are going to pay off the credit card when it arrives.  But what happened before December 25th was declared Christmas day?
 
The ancients always celebrated Winter Solstice which this year falls on December 22nd.  This day officially marks the beginning of the winter season and is the shortest day of the year with the least amount of daylight between sunrise and sunset.  Solstice often translated as 'sun stands still' was a time for celebration for after this day the daylight starts to grow longer.  The ancient believed that the more celebration they made the greater the chance of the Sun God being pleased for this was a time to welcome the birth of the sun.
 
The modern day Christmas celebrations are not very different to the Solstice celebrations:-
 
Holly was used for its magical powers and thought to bring good luck
Mistletoe considered to be a sacred plant was a pledge of friendship and fertility (Careful ladies!)
Ivy was for everlasting life
Yule logs normally came from oak, ash, or cedar and were burned for 12 days (Twelve days of Christmas?)  Interestingly the celebrations went on for 12 days! (wonder who changed it to 2)
Evergreen - the ancients held all evergreens in great awe for these plants always survived through the winter.  They believed that the more you had in the home was  better. (our Christmas trees?)
Roman parties were a time for the slaves and their owners to get together and let down their hair, the slaves were allowed at this time to speak freely (sounds like the office party!
Sacrifice - we are told that nine maidens would dismember a willing male body (any one for a turkey leg?)
 
Enjoy your celebrations

Maxine Returns - Soul Readings
 We have had so many people ask for Maxine's address for advice and guidance that we have persuaded her to return here again.  For those of you that don't know Maxine, she describes herself as 'Clairvoyant/Spiritual Consultant and Adviser but she also undertakes work with Tarot and Numerology and works with her Spirit Guides.  The feedback from people that have seen her is fantastic with many saying that they hadn't believed that the things Maxine had told them were possible for them, but it had already come to fruition.
 
Maxine will be available for readings from 1st February and also doing past life regression

Development Circle 
 
We are always asked if we run a Development Circle or whether we know of anyone that does.  We have not found anyone on the Island and therefore we are putting together the contents of Development Circle which will start in February.  Patricia and Maxine spent some time in Wales earlier this year learning trance-mediumship and trance-healing with many people that run circles in the UK.  We expect that initially the circle will meet one night a week for two hours for a period of six weeks.  If you are interested in developing your intuition and awareness, and connecting with your spiritual self then please email Patricia for further details at info@starchild.je
Bioflow Magnetic Bracelets - Sale 
 
Many years ago Bryan was diagnosed with ME, a very dibilitating illness which lasted five years. We tried everything that was available on the Island but the only thing that helped him was magnets and we now sleep on a magnetic bed.  It was resulting from this that we learned magnotherapy and set about sourcing the best magnets that we could find that could easily be worn.  We found that in Bioflow who do a good range of magnetic bracelets for both men and women.  These are high strength magnets and beautifully placed into attractive bracelets. 
 
Why wear magnets? - sadly we expose ourselves daily to electric gadjets that upset the balance of our body, which in turn results in ill health.  Magnets help negate the effect on our own electro magnetic field and keep our body in balance.
 
We are having a sale for Xmas, if you use electrical goods then please do read the attached - we have limited stock available.
 
Pyramid Power 
 
If you have ever been to Egypt and sat inside the Great Pyramid you will have been aware of the intencity of the energies.  If you haven't been to Egypt but have sat inside a pyramid perhaps at one of the health shows, you will understand the power of the pyramid.  The geometric shape of the pyramid intensifies the energies making meditations and healings deeper and stronger.
 
Using a scaled down version of the Great Pyramid, we have made our own pyramid to intensify your whole experience.  The pyramid power will be available for use for all of our therapies in 2008 and of course will be a must during our development circle. 
 
Without a doubt, you have to experience the pyramid power otherwise you just wont believe it!
 
As always our heartfelt thanks go to all of you who have supported us during 2007 by recommending us to others.  It is always a delight for us to be able to help so many to balance their bodies, rid themselves of negativity and get back to the life they were born to lead.
 
We are particularly grateful this year for all the healing support and very kind words when our dog Yin decided to return to his spiritual home.  He tells us that he is having a great time now that he can run around without any pain or breathing problems.  We are of course grateful that we are aware that Yin is still with us occupying his favourite seat on the sofa!
 
Remember particularly at Solstice to send loving thoughts to all of those that have left their physical bodies bringing joy to their soul and yours.  But remember also to serve mankind by sharing the joy and peace in your heart with them.
 
Blessings of peace and joy that fills your heart and expands to encompass all living things

StarChild - Transforming your Life
Solstice Celebration
Solstice is a time to let go of the past and look forward to a brighter future.  The return of the sun, brings with it a promise for the future.
 
 
This is the time to let go of the dark times from your past and welcome the good times from your future.
 
 
Here's a small ritual you might like to do.  You will need a candle, a bowl of water and some gold glitter.
 
 
Sit quietly in a darkened room and think about the year that you have just had.  Bring to mind all the sad times, all the angers and hurts, the negative thoughts etc.  As you do this place them all into an imaginary black plastic bag.  Remember to love and forgive yourself for all of these dark times and ask your guides and inspirers to remove the bag.  Remember that all of these episodes were just challenges that you either met or didn't. 
 
 
When you are ready light the candle.  The candle represents the sun.  Scatter the gold glitter in the water and watch how it glistens like the sun's rays.  As you bring in the sun think about your bright future and all the things you want to happen, the changes you want to make to aspects of who you are, perhaps to your surroundings and your daily life.  Let your heart be filled with joy and know that the sun brings in the brighter future.  If other people are present with you then ensure that they light their candle from the sun candle.
 
 
Give thanks to the sun for its warmth that enables all of our crops, trees and plants to grow. In the circle of life the crops feed us and our animals and go a long way to providing us with shelter. The trees provide us with warmth, shelter and furniture and the plants provide not only food and medicines but homes for the insects, birds and other animals and beauty to our eyes.
 
 
Yes, let us all give thanks to the Sun for the work that it does for without it our existence would be so very very different.
 
 
Happy Solstice!
