  GreenplanetFM interviews Sonia Choquette, Intuitive & New York Times Best-Selling Author (Ultimo)
posted Fri August 27th 2010 @ 6:08 PM
As a human, what are our latent capabilities? Sonia Choquette is a world-renowned intuitive and spiritual teacher who specializes in helping others recognize that we are all endowed with a sixth sense that we can count on. A masterful teacher committed to strengthening intuition in our daily lives, she is the best-selling author of ten books and numerous audio editions.
A highly trained intuitive, with extensive background in the mysticism of East and West, Sonia was educated at the University of Denver and at the Sorbonne in Paris, and holds a Ph.D. in metaphysics.

I grew up in an environment that treated intuition not only as natural, but actually essential to successful navigation in life. Intuition is a gift that we all have, that we can all experience, that we can all trust and that we all need!" Read More »
 SMILE TO YOUR HEART MEDITATIONS: SIMPLE PRACTICES FOR PEACE, HEALTH AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH. (RaewynSomers)
posted Tue August 24th 2010 @ 12:51 AM
INTRODUCTION
We are meant to be happy.
If you look at the motivations behind our thoughts and actions – conscious and unconscious – they’re all to get us closer to the feeling, or at least the idea, of happiness.
Yes in spite of our worldly successes and social relationships, we sometimes feel lonely, empty, as if something is missing. Even when we experience happiness, it tends to be more of a brief touch than a lasting embrace. We seem to slip back to a lower plane, a place of wanting, again and again.
Psychologists, economists, poets – and, most importantly, you – have long asked why. But, for all of the scholarship and human insight across the centuries, nobody has found a complete and enduring answer. Perhaps because it’s been too close to see… Read More »
 GreenplanetFM interviews Jonathan Cole on Transitioning to Solar Energy & Finding Durable Prosperity (Ultimo)
posted Fri August 20th 2010 @ 2:49 PM
Jonathan Cole's mission and passion is the transition to solar energy (in all its forms).
He’s been researching, developing and using solar energy for his household needs for 28 years and now has made it his mission to provide the knowledge about how to utilize solar energy in an affordable, durable, low maintenance and user-friendly way.
With hot water costing around 30% of NZ's household electricity costs, we note that Germany, the leader in solar technology and use, is closer to the North pole than NZ is to the South pole, so why are New Zealanders not using this long lasting technology?
By deploying this technology throughout NZ, this would give us breathing space from the need to dam rivers and scramble to find more ways to produce electricity. Read More »

 Death and "Life between LIves" (GailNicholls)
posted Mon August 9th 2010 @ 4:07 PM
Recently I helped a man die. His comment "no-one teaches you to die"....made a lasting impression on me. Hence this article.
Let me start with a case history, my fathers. Last September he passed over, and it was a sad occasion. But let me go back 8 years. He was on the operating table with Lung cancer, and he died while being operated on.
He said the experience was amazing. The tunnel he went down was so peaceful, no pain, nothing. He said it was absolute BLISS! Now, he had no spiritual belief in place... nothing! So this experience made a lasting impression on him. He said he got to the end of the tunnel to a door. " And they slammed the bloody door in my face and told me to go back". He watched as the Doctors resuscitated him and asked me "why did they say they lost me?"....Poor Dad. So angry. Read More »
 August thought of the Month (GailNicholls)
posted Fri August 6th 2010 @ 5:57 PM
Yes, 2 months have passed since I last up dated my page. Yes, I only travelled on 17 international flights to 8 different countries in a total of 9 weeks! And yes, I am still sane and pleased to say no jet lag, sickness etc. I am and have been, truly blessed.
You might ask me why I did all of this travelling? Tibet was always on my must-go-to list and we finally made it in May. We left 4 days after the borders opened, so I can assure you I was sweating for a few weeks prior to leaving.
But, the Masters we work for always look after me and tell me what is best. I listen thank goodness. I had planed to go the beginning of April and their instrustions, "End of April"....so, how is that for Divine help!
Yes, I am, also saying I am not unique in this connection with spirit as we are all connected. Just is that some of us are either too busy to sit and listen and then wonder is it their own inner voice or Divine? Read More »
