Desire a Dream
Ruby Lilaowala writes how daydreaming is healthy for you. Having a dream a desire in other words certainly helps bring about that experience into our lives.
Shakti Gawain, author of best selling book Creative visualization, "everyone from small children to extremely old people daydream". I personally sit in silence see what my hearts desire is, see me in the picture like a movie surround that in golden light and let it go. I know its good to think about this certain desire but the key is to have no attachment to it, for when we have attachment I find we usually push it away or get not exactly what we want. I also do a little ceremony where I write down every detail of the desire say a new house, I try not to forget anything and I place unlimited thoughts into it, then I go into nature or the backyard and call out to the universe, God, Goddess, mother earth, the archangels, ascended masters, fairies, and the elementals. I ask them to fully assist me in bringing this house, reading everything I wrote down out loud. Then after I finish what I have written I say and "so it is done" three times as well as "so be it" three times, then I say "thank you" three times. After this I burn the piece of paper fully visualizing the house, then let it go, knowing it will come.
Be a daydream believer!!"
Think even one negative thought and you drag yourself down into despair...You're waiting at the school gate to pick up the kids and you've drifted off into youfavoritete fantasy again, the one where John Abraham comes on his mo-bike to pick you out from the crowd and whisks you away from your humdrum life."

Good to Feel Good
Back in February I did a post called "Tony Robbins Motivational Lie?" by Steve Salerno author of "SHAM: How the Self-Help Movement Made America Helpless." Now here's an article by Tony Ventrella about feeling good, though when I first looked at the article I couldn't help but feel that Steve Salerno might have a valid point. It feels a bit empty this way of healing yourself, a little covering over what truly lies beneath. It feels like a quick fix to peoples problems a band aid effect. I know to fully heal one must face the shadow side and accept all parts of ones self, then and only then can one fully heal.
PEP Talk: We all want to feel good"
The best selling author and world renown speaker Dr. Wayne Dyer has a message on his cell phone I greatly admire. It goes like this:
"Hi, you've reached Wayne, and I want to feel good. If the message you are about to leave will result in anything other than that, you have the wrong number."
On the surface that may sound a bit selfish, but when you really think about it, the goal of every human being on the face of the earth is to feel good."

Dying for DDT
Kenya are thinking of reintroducing DDT to fight malaria. Its hard to see after all these years the chemical companies haven't come up with something not as dangerous as DDT. I don't claim to know the answer to this one, but I thought it was clear to the world years ago how harmful DDT was to humans and everything else that comes into contact with it. I also know about the malaria epidemic through out the world it seems to be a losing battle. Lets pray that these poor people in these countries get a say on what they want and its just not left up to the governments. I just cant help but think what part these huge chemical companies are playing.
Kenya: Govt At a Crossroads Over Use of DDT"
Almost two decades after the country banned the use of DDT, the Government is under pressure to lift the ban as one of the effective ways of controlling the spread of malaria."

Ba`kalema's Messages
Here are some more channeled messages from my time in the Blue Mountains. I went on this short little pilgrimage straight after I finished my nine to five job. I became awake to a spiritual path when I was 18 yrs old, but it took me till I was 34 yrs old to really let go and go with the flow of life(in other words turn my little canoe around and stop paddling against the flow of life and let life"GOD" take me where Im needed) and for me that's following your heart and doing what brings you joy. The nine to five job served its purpose financially and allowed me to experience many retreats, learn many healing modalities and travel overseas, so Im very grateful for that. I had opened my healing business last year in February I felt very joyful and at peace, I also was still working (holding on to fear that I wouldn't survive with out the financial security). Then I guess apart of my ego wanted to travel the world for a couple of years, so I closed down my business and turned to my nine to five job that I didn't like at all by now, well I wouldn't have given it a week or two and I fell into a slight depression. I had no energy no zest for life and of coarse I didn't put two and two together at the time so off I went trying to heal on all levels of this depression. Then one day while meditating my God presence or higher self spoke to me, it was as clear as a bell, it said
Its time to leave, start to prepare to leave this life. Well of coarse I asked what do you mean?,
its time to let go beautiful one let go of this cliff you hang so tightly to and dive into the bliss of the mystery of life, FOLLOW YOUR HEART THAT IS THE KEY. Well I thought about it and it came to me the understanding of my depression, my soul was just tired of living in fear, tired of following my mind and ego. So I thought why not, what have I got to lose so, I quit my job, well my complete being changed the depression lifted the day I walked out of work, I couldn't stop laughing all afternoon. The energy of fear and everything else with it lifted in an instant. I asked my higher-self what should I do now and where should I go?
Do what you love you know, I love helping people, which is through my healing, I do Kahuna massage and channeling for people and I love surfing. Where should I go? next thing I saw a large golden dome over a wonderful place about 9 hours drive from where I was living, this dome was over Byron Bay, one of the most beautiful places in Australia. So for a few weeks I set things in motion, and now I live in paradise. Most of my days consist of healing people from all over the world, surfing on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and being surrounded by beautiful open hearted people. I have been upset for 3 hours in five months that's not bad, like I keep saying to people if you could look inside me right now you'd see my soul dancing with joy and smiling like you've never seen a smile. So what am I trying to say here I know you know, I can not stress enough how important it is to follow your heart and do what brings you peace and joy. Like I've said to people for years even if you believe in reincarnation,
You only have this life time as you, there will never be another you, there has never been another like you, so go out there and enjoy this wonderful game we call life, before you know it it will be gone, live life to the fullest and remember don't take it to serious its a game to remember who we truly are and that's a pure divine spark of God- Goddess. Many blessings Ba`kalema. If you'd like to contact me my email address is

Spiritual MessagesLeap into the unknown it's the known that's the illusion
Leap and set yourself free
Living free from chains and suffering that cloud your mind and heart
Take the hands of God and allow the All That Is to catch you
Lifting you higher then you've ever imagined before
Opening one's heart is to open to God's love
Like the sun rising from the East
It's warm and tender ray's touching mother earth
Enveloping all that dwells on her
So does the heart when it opens and rises again
touching and enveloping everything
with its warmth and tenderness.
Silence instills clarity
Clarity instills calmness
Calmness instills peace
Peace instills love
Love instills God
Seek not outside of yourself of things that bring you short term fulfillment
Instead seek on the inside only God's love
This is the only long term fulfillment one needs to find
Ba`kalema's Messages
Here's some messages I channeled while I was on my own retreat in the mountains earlier this year. I did a five day fast and took a vowel of silence. The place I stayed at was surrounded by beautiful Australian bush, energy portals and caves. There were also some aboriginal paintings dating back thousands of years. I've traveled quite a bit throughout my life this area in the Blue Mountains near Sydney Australia was one of the most uplifting, beautiful picturesque places I've seen. Ill be putting some photos and giving you some insight on what I experienced whilst I was there.
Empty your vessel of all the things you think you know and think you areNow fill your vessel with all that is God For you are the Holy Grail, the cup that they all speak of each and everyone of youDrink and be filledThe mist moves over and through the mountains enveloping everything it touchesJust as God's love moves over and through you when you are open and at peace
Cast away doubt and gather up Knowing
Knowing all is well in God's playground
Forgiveness is the key that unlocks your heart to unconditional love
First start with yourself then you'll find it natural to fully forgive others
Peace exits in each and everyone of us a lot of us have just forgotten
Start to bring about peace in your own mind and heart
Soon enough others will catch on
Searching for love outside of ones self is futile
The love we all long for, the love we all seek
Is within us all
You'll know when you find it your heart wont stop smiling

Give Stress the Boot
Tired, stressed and depressed, these words seem to be coming up allot these days. The western world and now the eastern world which is also catching up I might add, seem to be in a complete mess. Nearly everybody and I do mean (every-body) is under some kind of stress, when we are under stress our body usually is the one that lets us know through some kind of pain that something is not quite right within ourselves. It's funny everyone's talking about there's not enough time in the day anymore to get all the things done, so we all have to rush around like mad dogs trying to get everything done. This then causes a lot of people to feel stressed and burnt out, this then leads to depression. So what does most of the population do? They go to the doctors and get some drug to mask the problem(which is usually just lack of balance in our everyday life, not taking timeout just to sit, relax and BE) the drug works for awhile then as soon as they get off it wham we're back to square one. Here's an article about another alternative healing modality it's called reflexology its been around for thousands of years and it works wonders. I believe it helps straight away for allot of people because in allot of cases its the first time some people just sit down, relax and do nothing and just BE, that's healing within its self. If you've never had a treatment I can highly recommend it and if you have but haven't had reflexology for awhile why not go treat yourself again.
Let your feet do the talking..."
As you lay back and relax during a reflexology session, this ancient healing artform, practiced thousands of years ago by the Egyptians, can help the body repair itself."Reflexology is a science that deals with the principles that there are reflex areas in the feet, ears and hands which correspond with every gland, organ and body part."

Peaceful Warrior the Movie
Dan Millman's fantastic best-selling novel "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" has been turned into a film as most of us know. It opens on the 2nd of June in the USA, im looking forward to seeing it immensely. "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" was certainly one of the novels that inspired me in the nineties. Im a big kid at heart and I love fiction novels with a message, I certainly get right into them and relate very well to them. It's fantastic such wonderful spiritual books like these are now being made into films eg
James Redfield's "The Celestine Prophecy"and
Dan Brown's "The DA Vinci Code". I know the message in these type of films will open up more and more people to a new consciousness. Here's the official website.

Soul Power
For years we've been hearing about the power of the mind, how through our thoughts we can manifest anything we want, from money to love. This concept certainly works, but is there something even more powerful then the mind? Best-selling author Dr. Zhi Gang Sha thinks so, he talks about the power of the soul in his book "Soul Mind Body Medicine: A Complete Soul Healing System for Optimum Health and Vitality". I totally agree with him and certainly will be purchasing his book.
Best-Selling Author Reveals the New Frontier in Health and Healing: The Soul Can Heal"
Thanks to the work of many other luminaries, the concept of mind over matter is well-established. People know that the mind can heal. However, in 21st century medicine, best-selling author Dr. Zhi Gang Sha states that mind over matter does not go far enough and the true key to healing is soul over matter. In his new book, Soul Mind Body Medicine: A Complete Soul Healing System for Optimum Health and Vitality (New World Library, May 2006), Dr. Sha reveals something so simple, yet very profound: the soul can heal."

Oprah Winfrey has donated a large sum of money to Nobel Peace laureate Prof Wangari Maathai. The money is to be used for planting trees and other conservation activities around Kenya and abroad. Its such a wonderful thing to see people with so much wealth give to projects like these.

Yoga and Depression
Unfortunately these days more and more people are turning to anti-depressants to overcome depression. Drug companies push hard for sales of their drugs and encourage doctors to sell them. I believe in a lot of cases alternative therapies could be used, for me drugs just mask the problem and usually have side effects. This article shows how
yoga can be beneficial for people suffering from depression.
Dealing With Depression"A famous writer once stated: "Life's problems are like knives, which either serve us or cut us, as we grasp them by the blade or the handle: Grasp a difficulty or problem by the blade and it cuts; grasp it by the handle and you can use it constructively".
