I received an email today that included a peace postcard that I would like to share with you. It was from Teri Williams of Theblissnetwork.com
1. Strive for peace from the inside out - breathe and meditate
2. Smile at everyone you see, including animals
3. Listen to music for the pure joy of it
4. Give to another each day, no matter how big or small
5. Do what you can each day to create peace for yourself and others.

Take the time to "see"
How often do we wander through life not really 'seeing' what is going on around us?
Usually we are so preoccupied with what we are doing or where we are going to pay attention to the small things.
All around us is great beauty, but it is in the quiet and the still, so it is often lost among the rushing and the noise.
If we take the time to see, we can find beauty in everything around us.
Make it a priority for the next few days to find something beautiful everytime you go outside. It could be the color of a weed, a cloud pattern in the sky, the sounds of birds chirping.
The secret is to take a moment to be quiet and still to find the beauty.

A Beautiful Prayer
I asked God to take away my pain and bad luck.
God said, "No, it is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up."
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole,
God said, "No, his spirit is whole, his body is only temporary."
I asked God to grant me patience,
God said, "No, patience is a by product of tribulations, it isn't granted, it is learned."
I asked God to give me happiness,
God said, "No, I give you blessings, happiness is up to you."
I asked God to spare me pain and depression,
God said, "No,suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me."
I asked God to make my spirit grow,
God said, "No, you must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful."
I asked God for money and all things that I might enjoy in life,
God said, "No, I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things."
I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves me,
God Said...."Ahhhhhh, finally you have the idea."
Today is yours, don't throw it away.
May God bless you
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

I leave these words with you that they may bring you hope and encouragement.

Something about you're health everyone should know...
There is something that can turn your health around, but not many people know about it, so let me enlighten you.
A machine called QXCI/SCIO.
The SCIO/QXCI machine saved my life…. it sounds a bit far fetched, well here’s my story.
I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder in 2000. As a result I ended up on a huge cocktail of medications, which was giving me a quality of life, but the side effect was that after six years my organs began to fail. My thyroid wasn’t working, my liver was barely functioning, my kidneys were at about 25 per cent and my cholesterol was through the roof. The doctors were in panic mode. If they did nothing I would die, if they took me off my medications I would end up confined to a mental institution … not much of a choice.
I had heard of Tamara, Harmony Health, and the machine so, in desperation, decided to give it a go. The first thing the machine picked up was that I was bipolar. That in itself was amazing as there is no medical test they can do to diagnose Bipolar, it is diagnosed by a psychologist. Tamara explained she hadn’t treated anyone for Bipolar, so she wasn’t sure how effective it would be. Her honesty was refreshing but I had nothing to lose so said: “Let’s give it a go”.
All I really wanted was for my organs to be working again so I could keep taking my medication.
After a two hour session on the machine the readings said my thyroid was fully functional, my kidneys were at 75 per cent , my liver at 50 per cent and my cholesterol lower. I went away happy that I could keep taking my medication and the machine would help keep my organs functioning. Well the best was yet to come.
After three days I started to feel really drugged, something that had never happened to me before. I rang my psychologist and told him what I had done and what was happening. He said I needed to decrease my medication. I did this under his supervision over the next month and at the end of that time I was drug free and mentally stable.
Many people who suffer with mental illness think when they are well that they don't need their medication. This was not the case for me, if I missed even one dose I was a mess and usually ended up in hospital. For me to even decrease my medication was a huge step.
I was astounded, as were my family and my doctors. I went on the machine every two months for the next year and saw my psychologist regularly. After 12 months my Psychologist said he couldn’t say I was cured because there was no such thing as a cure for Bipolar but I didn’t need medication and I didn’t need to see him anymore.
This was actually a very scary moment as I relied on my psycologist, he was my rock and my safe harbour. I said, "What if I NEED to see you". He said, "If you need me I am here, ring, but I don't think you will."
That was five years ago. I am still medication- free and have not had any bipolar episodes. In that time, I have moved to a country town, leaving my son and friends behind, my husband has retired, my granddaughter was diagnosed with leukaemia , my husband was told he has a incurable bone marrow disease and I have travelled, all things which would normally trigger an episode. I still go on the machine once every six months and, as I live in the country, have been treated a number of times in “sub space”, this means from a distance and not attached to the machine, using a saliva sample.
I would recommend that everyone goes on the machine, even if it is just once for a diagnosis and initial treatment. We spend time and money getting our car serviced and we can replace that. How much more important is it to service our bodies and minds which cannot be replaced? Even if you use it just as an early warning system. The early we recognize a problem the easier it is to treat.
Patients go through a process similar to a virus-scan on a computer, looking for potential stressors such: as viruses, deficiencies, weaknesses, imbalances, abnormalities and food sensitivities.
It reports on the biological reactivity and resonance in your body and indicates needs, dysfunctions and vulnerabilities. The information provided is fundamentally different from X-rays or blood tests, as it tells us about the energetic state of your body and the direction in which the body is focusing its energy.
The QXCI/SCIO can measure and balance your individual stress response to over 9000 stressors. These include but are not limited to: pathogens (bacterias, fungi and parasites), organ tissues, emotional factors, hormonal and spinal imbalances. The system feeds back a gentle rebalancing frequency to redress these stressors and bring the body back to its natural balance point. The initial consultation generally takes one hour with follow-up consults the same.
Like many new concepts, QXCI/SCIO has its detractors. Patients have found the information presented to be beneficial.
I would add a note of caution here. It is the machine in the hands of a qualified specialist that is the key. Check out the person who is using the machine, check their credentials and ask for some testimonials.
I can only share with you what my experience was and also the others I have referred to Tamara. I could share story after story of how it has worked. For more testimonials see http://harmonyhealth.net.au/
I do not receive anything for sharing this information, it is just something I think everyone should know about.
The man who invented this is Dr William Nelson, he worked for NASA and was instramental in bringing Apollo 13 back to earth safely.

Required Disclaimer: The SCIO system is to be used as a Biofeedback Multimedia System. It is designed for stress detection and stress reduction. The device does not diagnose or treat. Only a Licensed Practitioner can diagnose a patient. For the diagnosis or treatment of any disease please contact your licensed physician. No claims are made of the system or of its results.

Rare Phenomenum, Uluru in the Rain
Okay I have a real treat for you all!!!
Most longtime residents of Central Australia know that the sight of rain
on the rock is a rare phenomenon.
Some say less than 1% of visitors ever get to see it in the rain!!!
Many wait years and never get to see it.
I was there during a rain storm in August. We were getting ready to leave and the rain started coming down. We took off out there from Yalara, caravan and all. As we approached the rock the sight was truely spectacular. Uluru in the mist, covered with waterfalls.
