editor’s note
Sometimes I take a moment and cast
my mind back to those major ‘turning
points’ in my life, and imagine what
would have happened if I had made
different choices. This is not a way to
regret, but rather to recognise the
power I hold through making conscious
choices.
January 2008 was another remarkable
‘turning point’ in my life, when I
had a clear vision that involved
a dinner party, where a group
of profoundly individual
people came together to eat
and drink, laugh and share
their unique perspectives
on living, loving and
language. This image planted
a seed in my consciousness that
eventually sprouted the idea to
create InJoy Magazine and privilege
our community and the visitors to our
region, with profound conversations
that flow through our region.
The experience I gathered from being
solely responsible for producing 4
editions of the Here & Now magazine
early in 2000, when it’s creator,
Nighranta went overseas, imbedded a
confidence deep within me, something
that I had not been aware of until I drew
from it while taking those first steps to
manifest InJoy.
Here & Now magazine was a muchloved
publication that was bought and
then sold, and replaced by the very
beautiful but short-lived Be magazine.
After that years passed and no other
local community magazine filled the
space that these previous publications
so beautifully did.
‘Twas during the last year of studies at
Southern Cross University that I took the
plunge and began InJoy Magazine, first
launched in July 2008…
YES this is the 2 nd birthday edition!!
For the first few issues I felt I had to push
my way though the fears and across
the hurdles, then I began to feel the
flow and after that the synchronicity
and manifestations have been quite
magical.
InJoy Magazine has become a
beautifully recognised community
voice that is integrally committed to
the positive nature of people and places.
So often I am told that people really do
love InJoy – emails, cards from visitors
after they return home, phone calls and
divine hugs on the streets… this truly
inspires and motivates me and I thank
you all.
Most importantly, a BIG thank you
to all the wonderful advertisers who
enrich our community spirit through
making InJoy Magazine possible.
Please remember how vital it is
to shop locally and support local
businesses who serve the hub of
our community and sustain the
life force that flows through our
towns and villages.
Gratitude to contributors past,
present and future, who have
found the courage and time to
share their voices. We are blessed by the
people who walk their talk, speak their
truth, live their dreams and go beyond
that which holds humanity back from
living love and loving life—this is the
way in the Bay and at the end of the day
it really is the simple things that matter
because…
In two days from now, tomorrow will be yesterday.
many blessings
much love

WHAT’S UP WITH PLANET EARTH
Emerging Earth Angels
Our new spaces and roles are all about simply being. Being the
truest and simplest aspects of ourselves. And as these aspects come
so naturally to us, these new spaces will be effortless. We are being
encouraged now, to be self-sustaining beacons of light by simply being
ourselves. We may find that we have no desire to assist with anything,
help anyone, or much else in that vein. We may see others asking for
help that we may have provided in times past, and simply feel that we
are “very done” with that kind of thing. We may feel a massive ending to
most everything that we have ever known. A very final death.
What is happening here, is that we are being moved into spaces of
great protection from the fall. We were not meant to go down with
everything that is going down, or even to assist with the process. We
are now being guided into spaces that are very free and clear from the
old reality that is crashing like a string of dominoes. If we felt invisible
before, we will feel even more invisible now. This is because we cannot
allow ourselves to be grabbed onto like life preservers, allowing those
who may be drowning and panicky to push us under and contribute to
our demise.
In times past, our spiritual evolutionary process gradually made us feel
invisible, as we were now living and vibrating in a much higher level of
existence. Those with density and the self-absorption that more ego
states create, were unable to see us. Now, we are more invisible than
ever, as we are naturally being taken to spaces of safety and security
during these massive endings and times of great collapse.
The previous plan was that we remove ourselves from the old reality,
which many of us did. Then we had planned that we would begin a very
new reality in a very new world, as we came together as brothers and
sisters. This new reality that we would create as a whole would sustain
us while the old reality eventually disappeared altogether in a very
gradual and loving way. All the while, we would assist those who were
willing and who were asking, up the vibrational rungs of the ascension
ladder. Well, guess what? Human beings have free choice and this has
created yet another tweaking of the plan. Will it ever end?
It is the heart energy that will take us exactly where we need to be, and
that will serve as our source for creating anything we may need in times
to come.
We navigate through the heart in the next dimension. When we are in
the heart space, everything is dramatically different. And we can now
stay in these states the vaste majority of the time. In the heart space, we
can see much more. Everything makes sense, and everything is clear.
And in addition, we see each other, see that absolutely everything is
indeed connected and supports a whole (or way of existence), and
we come to clearly see that the world of separation is created from
the density that existed in the old reality and in the lower vibrating
dimensions or emotions.
The heart energy overrides all else. It does not care what spiritual belief
one has, what color one is, what life-style one has, what profession one
has, or what age one is. It is the glue and the connector, and it is what
allows us to see each other. And when in the space of the heart energy,
we need only stay in our own space….centered and in the eye of the
storm.
With much love and gratitude,
Karen Bishop

IN PRAISE OF BUTTERFLIES… by DARPAN
“Look deep into Nature
and then you will understand
everything better”
As a child I was fascinated by the life cycles of
cicadas and caterpillars and in particular, the
mystery of the chrysalis. I would watch as they
meticulously created for themselves a cosmically
designed genetic laboratory within a time
capsule. Then they would put themselves into
suspended animation and later re-emerge as
something entirely different and wondrous. Wow!
Like the clever chameleon, the chrysalis
renders itself virtually invisible by mastering
the art of camouflage. Its shape and colours
merge formlessly into the texture of its natural
environment affording it maximum safety and
protection.
Meanwhile inside, in a universe of its own and
embedded as a precious jewel within ours,
a timeless re-enactment of profound and
miraculous change takes place. The miracle of
metamorphosis. The creation and regeneration of
Life into a higher octave of itself.
I give thanks and praises
to the Goddess for the
existence of butterflies!
To watch a butterfly alight
upon a flower, caress its
fragrant petals and drink
the golden nectar is surely
the essence of joy and
freedom, is it not? Each of
us can delight in the beauty
of butterflies as they flutter
sensuously by… and yet we
are not always aware of the incredible struggle
they go through before emerging from their
cocoon, newly recreated for flight.
In an act of promethean determination, the
butterfly labours to free herself , discarding the
5
Albert Einstein
injoy injoy
restrictive silken shell to inherit a new world of
flowers, breezes and sunshine… a world of pure
delight and the freedom to celebrate her true
divine nature.
The price of her freedom, deeply embedded in
her cellular memory, is the knowing that to live
one’s true soul purpose is both a burden and a
blessing. A butterfly’s message might also be
“Don’t take life too seriously because the only
permanent thing is change”. As a caterpillar it
had to die to itself and just as it thought the world
was over, it was miraculously transformed into a
butterfly. That’s a very neat trick. And one that
is strangely reassuring. It suggests that perhaps
there is no death, just a profound change from
one form to another.
The butterfly is a living example of transformation
and rebirth.
Embedded within this marvellous phenomenon
is a powerful message for us humans if we care
to ponder a little. Our path of
transformation is not unlike that
of a butterfly’s.
da vinci homo celestus
recently found in Holland, the largest crop circle yet...
As a caterpillar, we wallow
around in the larval stage,
busy with survival strategies
and self preservation, fattening
ourselves with all kinds of
stuff and eking out a mean
existence within the confines
of what we think is real and
possible.
We rub up against Life in an endless soap opera
of experience, gathering information, playing with
polarity and exploring the dimensions of matter
and sensation.

Once our voracious appetite has been
somewhat appeased, there comes a time when
the yearning for something of the beyond makes
its presence felt. Normal life games no longer
seem to satisfy. We start to look within to reflect
upon who we really are and to discover our
soul’s true purpose.
Once inside the metaphorical chrysalis, the
period of incubation begins. However long it
takes, while it is happening we are in process. We
may not be aware of the changes at first, but
aspects of who we once were slowly begin to
be dissolved, released, transformed and altered.
As the process quickens, our lives can get very
uncomfortable. Relationships get put through
the mill. You may even lose friends and lovers
who are unable to adjust to the shift. But you will
attract others who are in resonance with your
new frequency. They show up like angels to assist
and support you on your path.
Behaviours that once served you as a caterpillar
are no longer useful or helpful. You simply cannot
continue in the way you once did. You are
mercilessly challenged to surrender old patterns
and beliefs, especially those you made central
to your life story. Because those patterns are so
familiar to us and despite the fact they no longer
serve us, we often resist discarding them. Leaving
the larval stage can be unsettling at best and
downright scary at worst.
Relinquishing control, facing your fears and
letting go into trust is both joyous and terrifying.
However the tension created by these opposite
impulses is the harbinger of real change. Dreams,
new visions and lofty aspirations start to emerge
and quietly seed the deep self with flavours of
the beyond and the promise of a new way of
being.
We begin to appreciate that Life, even with
its struggles and burdens, is a precious gift, a
treasure, a mind boggling experience designed
to help us evolve to previously unimaginable
states of consciousness.
After all, what is a butterfly if not the flowering of
a caterpillar beyond its wildest dreams? She is
a marvellous demonstration of the power inside
trust and vulnerability. Spreading her delicate
wings for the first time, the butterfly has no
idea whether she will be able to fly. She simply
opens them in perfect confidence and joyously
embarks upon the spiral dance of graceful
flight…and all that remains is the celebration
of freedom and participation in the ecstasy of
creation.
How does one become a butterfly? You must
want to fly so badly that you are willing to give
up being a caterpillar. You reach a point where
confinement to that identity is more painful than
the risk of flight.
The butterfly’s journey is an invitation to resacralise
the world by trusting in the process of
metamorphosis. We are seeing massive change
daily, before our very eyes. However once you
surrender to the Mystery, there’s no need for fear
and no need to worry. Nature knows exactly
what she’s doing, she’s done it a thousand times
before. The transformation of consciousness into
a higher octave is her specialty, the icing on
the cake. We should rejoice because we are
lucky enough to be the crucible in which her
alchemical genius will come alive.
The butterfly is a worthy symbol for the birthing
of a new consciousness and for a world in
which the earth can become as heaven….
for the manifestation of a new humanity where
homo sapiens, released from the chrysalis, can
metamorphose into homo celestus… conscious,
whole and free.
In such a world, multi dimensional reality and the
interconnectedness of all things will be as plain
as daylight. And just as the light can never be
separated from the sun and the wave cannot be
separate from the ocean, so shall we recognise
ourselves in one another, rejoicing in the one
indivisible heart waving in a vast sea of love,
beauty, peace and harmony.
We have a lot to be grateful for in butterflies and
flowers…
And just like butterflies, we too shall awaken in our
own time.

EAR CANDLING
A WONDERFUL WINTER THERAPY
Ear Candling or Coning is an ancient
healing modality originally practiced
by Atlantean, Mayan, Egyptian and
Tibetan cultures.
The Candling works primarily on the
physical body by detoxifying the
sinus, lymphatic and other systems
and is the natural remedy of choice
for ear infections, relieving mucous
build-up, fungus growth, earaches
and Candida.
At the same time, the treatment
provides clarity of hearing and
vision, improvement in the
senses of smell, taste and colour
perception as well as emotional
stability and clearer mental
functioning. It is considered a
spiritual therapy for purifying the
mind and senses whilst enhancing
the ability to meditate with focus
and be open to sensitivity.
Candles are made from strips of
unbleached cotton or linen dipped
in paraffin and/or beeswax and
herbs. Lying comfortably on your
side, the tapered end of the candle
is placed gently into the outer
opening of the ear. The candle
is lit and a pleasant warming of
the ear canal is felt as the candle
performs its gentle heat and
smoke detoxification.
All treatments are pain free and administered in a completely hygienic and nurturing environment

injoy injoy
The cylindrical shape of the cone
causes the smoke to be pulled down
in to the ear canal causing a warming
and loosening of the wax and any other
material adhering to the canal. As it
heats it up, the gentle suction creates
a vacuum and air is drawn up from the
Eustachian tube into the middle ear
then through the porous membrane
out into the outer ear. The heat and the
vacuum draw out the wax and other
materials from the ear canal into the
base of the candle. As it burns down you
will hear a lot of cracking and hissing
which is the process of removing the
wax.
The entire experience is very relaxing
and safe for all ages.

Stories like these may tug on
heartstrings, but the way Randy
Pausch shared his experience...
his words of wisdom were far
from morbid or depressive.
He explained that his father
taught him that whenever
there’s an Elephant in the Room,
introduce it. And so he did.
On September 18, 2007,
Randy Pausch spoke for 90
minutes to an audience of 400
at Pennsylvania’s Carnegie
Mellon University, USA. He
explained that this was his ‘last
lecture’, as he had been told by
a doctor that he had only three
to six months of good health left, a result of
pancreatic cancer. He proceeded to flash a
giant image of his CT scans onto the screen,
with red arrows pointing to each of the ten
individual tumors in his liver.
The slide was headlined: ‘The Elephant in the
Room’. Sensing the auditorium’s shock, he
dropped to the floor and began doing pushups
because he didn’t want to just be seen
as a dying man, and after that the audience
broke into laughter and relaxed.
It was then Randy began to share some of
the words of wisdom he had gathered on his
journey, now governed by such little time.
• Do have specific
dreams. Even if you
fail, great experience
is what you get out of
chasing them.
• Don’t be deterred
when obstacles come
between you and
your goals. “The brick
walls are there to
stop the people who
don’t want it badly
enough”.
• Never lose your
childhood wonder.
• Being earnest is better than being
hip: earnest comes from the core, while “hip”
is just trying to impress with the surface.
• Don’t complain, just respond... Any time
we spend whining is unlikely to help us
achieve our goals”.
• Don’t obsess over what other people
think.
• Take time out: it’s not a real holiday if
you’re reading emails or calling in for
messages... “Time is all you have. And you
may find one day that you have less than
you think.”
These words of wisdom were extracted from The Last Lecture, by Randy Pausch, published by Hachette Australia

If you can laugh at yourself,
If you can laugh at yourself, everything is
okay. People laugh at others, but never
laugh at themselves. It has to be learned.
If you can laugh at yourself, seriousness is
already gone. It cannot make its abode
within you if you are capable of laughing
at yourself.
injoy
injoy
seriousness is already gone
In Zen monasteries every monk has to laugh.
The first thing in the morning to do is to laugh,
the very first thing. The moment the monk
becomes aware that he is no longer asleep,
he has to jump out of bed, stand in a posture
like a buffoon, like a circus joker, and start
laughing, laughing at himself. There cannot be
any better beginning of the day.
Laughing at oneself kills the ego and you are
more transparent, more light, when you move in
the world. And if you have laughed at yourself,
then others’ laughter toward you won’t disturb
you. In fact they are simply cooperating, they
are doing the same thing that you were doing.
You will feel happy.
To laugh at others is egoistic; to laugh at oneself
is very humble. Learn to laugh at yourself-about
your seriousness and things like that....
Let the laughter be a belly laughter, not a headthing.
One can laugh from the head: then it is
dead. From the head everything is dead; the
head is absolutely mechanical. You can laugh
from the head: then your head will create the
laughter, but it will not go deep in the belly to
the hara. It will not go to your toes, it will not go
to your whole body. A real laugh is just like a
small child laughs. Watch his belly shaking, his
whole body throbbing with it--he wants to roll
on the floor. It is a question of totality. He laughs
so much that he starts crying; he laughs so
deeply that the laughter becomes tears, tears
come out of him. A laughter should be deep
and total. This is the medicine that I prescribe
for seriousness....

Herbal Medicine and
Body Work for Horses...
and people too!
Horses in the past were free to roam
and collect their own herbs and
medicinal plants they needed. It
is only since the time that we keep
our horses on small acreages, or
in stables, that we have taken this
natural ability to self medicate away
from them. Herbs have played an
enormous part in nutritional support
since ancient times. The herbs the
horses would often seek are now
shown through scientific research to
assist in regenerating damaged tissue,
reducing inflammation, supporting
the immune system among the many
actions that herbs have on the body.
Many horses benefit by eating dried
herbs in their feed on a daily basis, as
a nutritional supplement, while others
require special therapeutic formulas to
treat certain health conditions.
Herbal knowledge and
Horsewomanship are joined here to
assist the horses in their health. Rosie
offers Herbal Consultations for your
horse, along with Equine Body work
for horses... and people too.
Herba-RX-Equine is new in the shire
and offers treatments for horses
throughout the Northern Rivers,
although demand has had her travel
to stables well beyond. A massage
treatment can improve range of
motion, performance and gait quality,
prevent injury from muscle fatigue and
improve stamina and circulation.

As soon as the first
stroke of warm oil
swept across my body
I knew that I was in for
something special.
Mia uses both her hands

as hot rocks, which all
feel absolutely beautiful,
such graceful movements
like a slow dance moved
my accumulated tensions
and energy blockages. The
experience was nurturing
and deep, my muscles let
go, my breathing became
smooth as my physical,

spiritual bodies aligned and
I completely relaxed.

review
Mia began the massage with
traditional Hawaiian prayers;
the language resonates sweet
joy through spoken song about the love of life. My
thoughts drifted away as I gently melted into a very
deep mindless space.
Throughout the session I had a reoccurring vision… I saw,
felt myself cradled in the huge arms of a big, beautiful
Hawaiian woman who’s strength and soft embrace
swaddled me in tender love.
Mia’s work is professional and nurturing.
She has relocated from Melbourne and
brings with her a wealth of experience
in both her individual sessions and

A Doctor
with a Difference
interview with
Dr Karl Hromek
holistic medicine and injectable nutrients
by Bhadrena Rose
“Framing has been a great passion for me, as well
as music, which is still something I love… a hidden
passion that not many people know about. I play
guitar and mandolin, and a bit of piano… I’m pretty
much self-taught, and write songs as well. Yes, there
is a band and we meet at my place once a week and
practice originals and covers — we’re called The
Girlfriends. We’ve done a few gigs, we rock out and
have fun.
If I hadn’t dedicated so much time to becoming a
doctor, I might have been a musician. I have always
been interested in music and would have done
a lot more of that. It really was hard to become a doctor,
extremely challenging, but something happens to you and
you become somewhat (ha ha) indoctrinated.
The most confronting thing early in my career was people
looking at me for a solution. This felt like an overwhelming
responsibility initially, and it took me a while to get my head
around this… and accept it. I’ve been a doctor for 24 years
now and I still vividly remember, as an intern, coming home
and laying on my kids trampoline and looking up to the sky
and saying to myself, ‘Oh what have I done?’ This voice came
from within me, it truly happened, and said, ‘You can do this
if you want to.’ I knew instantly that I could and something
just lifted from me, I felt that I could really trust my choice
and then it was a natural progression into medicine.
They tell you different in medical school, but you really do, as
a doctor, learn a lot from your patients and as much as we are
taught not to, I continue to trust what my patients have to
share. So often you will hear the same stories from different
patients, and that was an important lesson from me, to really
listen… I learn so much from my patients.
I started practicing medicine in Byron Bay in 1987, but I first
moved to this shire in 1974. Back in the ‘good old days’ you
could park anywhere you wanted, when you went for a walk
you would know practically everyone on the streets, it really
was that small. I had my holistic practice there, in Byron, for
15 years and with such a rapid increase in tourist population
I decided it didn’t really suit me anymore so I now practice
from Mullumbimby.
in their other life... Karl & Ann-Mary Hromek perform
Every day I drove through Mullum to Byron, from my tropical
fruit farm I bought in 1976, and thought it was the obvious
place to move the surgery to. I used to run the land I live on
as a business but now I don’t grow fruit commercially, now
the land just kind of runs me. I don’t really understand all the
dreaming stuff but I do feel something, like the relationship
Aboriginal people have with the land… it does something to
you and this is why I still call Boogarem Falls home.
When I first became a doctor I did have a leaning towards
natural medicines. If mainstream medicine has a better
solution then I do prescribe that, but I prefer natural
modalities and in some circumstances there are no solutions
in mainstream medicine. Every patient is so individual in
their biochemistry so it really does depend on the patients
and their particular problem.
I am interested in injectable nutrients and have written a
book about that. It involves finding out what biochemical
problems people can have, and then finding ways to fix
them through nutrients given intravenously, often at high
healing centre

doses. One of the greatest advantages of injectable nutrients
is that they go directly to where the problem is, rather than
orally taken nutrients which you can’t guarantee the patient
will fully absorb. Injectable nutrients have a 100% absorption
rate.
Sensitive patients are usually sensitive to taking medications
and vitamins orally, because commonly their digestive
system is the cause of sensitivity. When we treat sensitive
patients intravenously it is uncanny how they have no
sensitivity reaction, and they tolerate the high dosages very
well. These high dosages mean that the nutrients can act like
pharmaceuticals in action... and have much power.
Only some nutrients are injectable, you wouldn’t be able
to inject proteins for example. There are about a dozen
nutrients that a holistic practitioner can use… like vitamin C
and vitamin D now, antioxidants, many of the B vitamins and
glutathione. Iron is especially successful taken intravenously,
especially in child-bearing aged women, pregnant women,
and especially pregnant women who might be vegetarian
or have coeliac problems, gluten intolerance issues or other
intolerances that make it difficult to absorb iron any other
way. It can take years, literally years to build up iron levels
after childbirth, heavy menstruation or long-term low iron
ingestion and a course of injectable iron will lift the levels
almost instantly. Some women can struggle for half a life
time with low iron levels and are amazed how quickly, after a
course of injectable iron, they get their life back. We are not
well designed to extract iron from plant foods.”

injectable nutrients and the different vitamins that can

••••• A man owned a small farm in Australia. The Fair Work
Australia Office claimed he was not paying proper wages to his
staff and sent a representative out to interview him.
‘I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,’
demanded the rep.
‘Well,’ replied the farmer, ‘there’s my farm hand who’s been with
me for 3 years. I pay him $500 a week plus free room and board.
He also gets triple time for working on a Sunday and a slab of
beer for a Happy Hour every Friday. The cook has been here
for 18 months and I pay her $400 per week plus free room and
board. She doesn’t work on Sundays and I provide paid satellite
television free in her room. Then there’s the half-wit. He works
about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of the work
around here. He makes about $20 per week, pays his own
room and board, and I buy him a bottle of whiskey every
Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally.’
‘That’s the guy I want to talk to, the half-wit,’ said the agent.
‘That would be me,’ replied the farmer. •••••
- One evening an old Cherokee told
his grandson about a battle that goes on
inside people.
He said, “My son, the battle is between
two wolves inside us all.
“One is Evil - It is anger, envy, jealousy,
sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies,
false pride, superiority, and ego.
“The other is Good - It is joy, peace, love,
hope, serenity, humility, kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion and faith.”
The grandson thought about it for a
minute and then asked his grandfather:
“Which wolf wins?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The
one you feed.”

Dynamic Drawing
in Melbourne
originated in Byron Bay
by Ron Curran
Dynamic Drawing (which has
called Byron home for the past
decade) has now been working
with Melbourne as its base for
the last eighteen months. The
decision to de-camp and set up
in Melbourne was made after the
numerous enquiries we had from
drawing ‘visitors’ from down south
- Sydney and Melbourne, urging us
to come and run classes in the in
the city; also the strong response
we got from workshops we ran at
the Woodford Folk Festival.
The classes have been up and
running at the Brunswick Street
Gallery, Fitzroy since late 2008
where we initially started with one
Tuesday evening class. Numbers
increased and we now have three
classes a week (Tues and Thurs
evenings, and Saturday mornings
as well).
The year 2009 culminated with
a retrospective exhibition at the
end of the year with 60 exhibitors
selected from the classes and
over 200 works on display at the
gallery and a massive roll-up on
the opening night. This brought a
new wave of people to the classes
and numbers exploded to where now it is the biggest
drawing class in Melbourne.
It was a real struggle when we first got here to find
a venue and get any publicity or media support. A
rude shock indeed after all the community and media
support that the Dynamic Drawing classes received in
Byron.
After a few shaky starts in other places, we finally
discovered Fitzroy and knew pretty much straight away
it was right... with all the graffiti on the walls and all the
hip cafes, studios/ bookshops etc... there was already
a great dialogue happening here, and there was a
switched-on demographic, like a river to swim in.
Melbourne?... is just so layered, you just keep discovering more
(it took about 6 months just to believe what I was looking at... like
whether it was science fiction or was it real!?)... it has a density and
an intensity but, unlike other places, its history and its culture is still
visible, not everything has been torn down. There are still lots of
beautiful old buildings.
You can read the stories on old walls and there are lots of amazing
deserted factories........it’s a kind of mysterious literature, like there
are piss back alleys where ghosts come walking out of bluestone
walls. And in winter the wind howls like a choir on the rooftops and
the chimneys on B street lean down like tombstones........a really
kind of gothic thing, you get to understand where Nick Cave and
Doc Martins and all that kind of thing fits in........in a way, like being
on another planet.......completely different energies.
But the narratives and
meditations people reveal
and the energies they
engage in are kind of the
same the world over... that
kind of intimacy and poesy,
that summons ‘language’,
that is striking and everexpanding.
To tap into
that kind of stuff and see
people hit off those kind of
baselines is sustaining and
finally enchanting.
The grass roots response
to the classes has been
fantastic, on-going and
widespread, people from
all over with all different
backgrounds turning up
to draw. In cultures where
people are increasingly
being controlled and
manoeuvred.......... pushed
aside, set up or compressed
into ritual... there remains a
primary and fundamental
need for self-expression,
self-recognition, a measure
of intimacy... free expression
is the housing for sanity.
While in many different
ways Melbourne has been a great success, it’s still essentially
another big city with all the drawbacks and even downers that a
city can bring (crazy traffic, concrete, pollution, street crime etc.)
but doing the classes has been kind of a mission, like waving the
flag for free or pure drawing... and developing a dynamic drawing
base down here that I can work from and return to when I need.
So the north coast will be so great to get back to... the church of
the open sky, the sunshine and the ocean, the mountains and the
song of the waves and that vibrant, diverse, crazy, never-ending
community of people that is Byron!!

Developing Performance Confidence
a personal journey
by Carmel Liertz
“Perhaps something in the very nature of the traditional outlook
may have led its exponents at times to ignore precisely
that which is truly essential.”
from Gestalt Theory (Wertheimer 1925, translated by Ellis 1938,2)
Performance confidence is an essential ingredient for reaching true performance potential… ‘the key that frees us to
do the things we are fully capable of doing’, according to Orlick, the sport psychologist.
My journey has been to find a ‘formula’ for gaining confidence in performance. How does one learn about motivation
in order to become interested in organising oneself into action, and how does one acquire the knowledge and skills
necessary to practise performance confidence?
Mostly, students (and adults) are left to find these connections themselves, and then left to fend for themselves in
competitive performance environments. Although my interest was initially in the field of tertiary music education, sadly,
the same could be said for many educational environments, and probably from childhood onwards.
I began reading sport psychology books about mental training for peak performance as if they were written for
musicians, and to my delight the strategies seemed to work perfectly. Inspired to begin formal research studies in
music performance enhancement, I devoured literature in fields of Stress, Psychobiology and Psychoneuroimmunology,
all demonstrating the interconnectedness of mind and body; how the mind-body systems are communicating with each
other and indeed affecting each other.
This information has its foundations in Hans Selye’s research from the 1920s showing mind-body connections, although
it was not until the 1960s that Selye was duly acknowledged as the Father of Stress. More recently, Bruce Lipton’s ‘The
Biology of Belief’ (2009) explains that the brain controls the behaviour of the body’s cells, these cells being shaped by
their environment, in the same way we are shaped by our environment.
Bringing together a set of integrative mental and physical training strategies, to assist mind-body awareness and to
acquire the psychological skills and mind-body states for peak performance, became the foundation of my work.
This provides a new approach to assist people to be aware of their mind-body connections, to feel positive about
what they do, and to feel in control in any performance situation – so they may have the keys necessary to experience
optimal confidence.

“Words Without Walls”
The Byron Bay Writers Festival is fast approaching,
6-8 August, with workshops beginning 2 August.
The 2010 Festival celebrates its fourteenth year by
presenting a bumper line up of writers and thinkers
across all literary genres, keen to dissect the most
electric contemporary issues.
Festival Director Jeni Caffin says, “Every year we take
a deep breath and conjure the most interesting
minds and compelling writers in the public arena
and with hope and faith issue the invitations to our
Festival. This year, I was almost knocked sideways
by the speed and volume of acceptances and I can
confidently predict our most diverse and penetrating
program ever.”
Southern Cross University continues its tradition of
sponsoring the keynote speaker and in 2010 this
is none other than the controversial journalist and
public figure, Fatima Bhutto, travelling from Pakistan
to participate in the Byron Bay Writers Festival. Her
father was Murtaza Bhutto, killed by police in 1996 in
Karachi during the premiership of his sister, Benazir
Bhutto. Fatima’s third book, Songs of Blood and
Sword, a history of the Bhutto family and Pakistani
politics, was the subject of a bidding war and is
published world wide in 2010.
3 day passes are now available for the Byron Bay
Writers Festival and provide access to over ninety
sessions and the huge white marquees on the
Festival site. Over one hundred presenters will bring
song, comedy, playwriting, screen culture, poetry,
politics, fiction and non fiction off the page and into
your minds.

History of the
Middle Finger
Before the Battle of
Agincourt in 1415, the
French, anticipating victory
over the English, proposed
to cut off the middle finger
of all captured English
soldiers. Without the middle
finger it would be impossible
to draw the renowned English
longbow and therefore they
would be incapable of
fighting in the future. This
famous English longbow was
made of the native English
Yew tree, and the act of
drawing the longbow was
known as plucking the yew.
‘pluck yew’
Much to the bewilderment
of the French, the English
won a major upset and began
mocking the French by
waving their middle fingers
at the defeated French,
saying, See, we can still
pluck yew! Since ‘pluck
yew’ is rather difficult to
say, the difficult consonant
cluster at the beginning
has gradually changed to a
labiodentals fricative F’,
and thus the words often
used in conjunction with the
one-finger-salute! It is
also because of the pheasant
feathers on the arrows used
with the longbow that the
symbolic gesture is known
as ‘giving the bird.’

Recently Kidzone After School Care was threatened with
closure. The issue was lack of funding and fluctuating
enrolment numbers—it certainly wasn’t the quality of this
service, which has been well recognised since it first began
more than 15 years ago.
after school care

TRUE
COMMUNITY
SERVICE
by
Bhadrena Rose
After school care really is a vital resource in any community,
as every working parent would understand... but the value
of this type of care goes way beyond a fundamental need for
working parents, and some may not realise this.
The community was instrumental in finding ways to save
the threatened Kidzone service. A group of local parents and
grandparents quickly joined together in Federal Park to share
ideas, and formulate practical ways to keep this important
resource available in our community.
Community spirit was strong and this combined with an
anonymous donation of $2000 to the service (THANK YOU
whoever you are) not only saved Kidzone but enriched it.
New enrolments came in once people knew award-winning
artist Svea Bjornsson was the current coordinator. Then there
was the help from council’s offer of a demountable, which
will be fantastic and provide a perfect ‘kid zone’ space.
Kidzone After School Care in Federal is privileged to have an
award-winning local artist, and mother of two, as the current
coordinator. Svea Bjornsson has won Shearwater’s Wearable
Arts many times and she feels honoured to facilitate these
sessions for school age children, to be able to share her
wealth of experience and talents.
“Children are our NOW
of Community,
Doors to Infinite Futures NOWS,
Experience NOW,
Smile and Play with the Children.”
- Svea
Svea is currently embarking on a creative project with the
children, a sculptural installation titled Mad Hatters Tea
Party in the Park, and the Kidzone Kids will enter this into
the Warwick Jumpers and Jazz in July competition. The $200
prize money for the winning community group will be most
appreciated by the children, and if they win they will choose
something new for Kidzone.
• “I like Kidzone because it is creative. Making hats is fun.”
Kayla 81/2yrs
• “I like Kidzone because of the bikes.” Jude 91/2yrs
• “Kidzone is fun because of all of it.” Neisha 8yrs
• “Kidzone is exciting, you can express yourself.”
Mali 101/2yrs
• “Kidzone is fabulous because of all the creativity to do.”
Mishika 101/2yrs
My own experience as a coordinator for Kidzone after school
care in 2004/2005 gave me the opportunity to witness the
far-reaching benefits that this type of service provides. Many
children do need this service because their parent, or both
parents work and there is no one home to care for them

after school. There are also children who really benefit from
the safe and nurturing social environment that an after school
care program can provide. Some are without siblings or live
remotely and have no children to interact with after school.
Many just love the extended time to play and be creative with
other kids.
Watching a blend of local children from different schools unify
through cooking a shared afternoon tea, coming together to
play or independently engage a craft activity is refreshing,
and this service helps to strengthen a community spirit within
our young people. The informal group dynamic encourages
a sense of belonging in that time between school and home,
and many children enjoy being involved with planning their
activities, which is so wonderful to see.
After school care is valued as a transitional bridge between
the organised structure of a school day, and the familiarity and
identity a family can bestow upon a child.
Time spent at after school care allows school-age children to
unwind from their day in a safe and nurturing environment... to
read, relax, to play, and then there’s also the chance to focus on
arts and crafts and other activities… and in Kidzone’s case this
is a real creative adventure, thanks to Svea Bjornsson.
If you can, help keep this service operating and support through
donations, bikes, material, art supplies, sports equipment or
anything else a group of school aged children can explore.
Please contact Annie (director) or Svea (coordinator of Kidzone)
at Federal Community Children’s Centre on 0266884 371.

insight
diary
of an
astrologer... Simon Sewell
Nothing
In the last issue of InJoy I attempted to convey
the opening into psychic awareness that is being
communicated to me by many clients as they move
through the portal opened by the very mystical
conjunction between Neptune and Chiron. The
article was called Where Is Love. In that article
I described a journey through a psychic sea of
sadness [memory] into what I can only describe
as the ‘Blessed Psyche’, a place—or no place—of
infinite vastness containing all non-existential
phenomenon.
Symbolised astrologically by the planet Neptune
this is the space where unconditional love is found-
the realisation that we can dissolve, give up our
egoic sense of identification and be one with all
things - the mysterious elixir in this realisation is
pure love, an alchemical ingredient that allows us
to merge with the infinite - or if you like… make
love with the universe.
Big problem here though, scrolling through
astrological websites and remembering my own
predictions in previous InJoy articles, is that there
is a general consensus among astrologers that the
World we perceive is in for more tough times.
Currently, with Pluto as the focal point of a very
powerful T-square, we are in these times now.
Interestingly, Pluto rules the substance oil, and this
can be seen through the current environmental
disaster in the US.
There are much deeper undercurrents to the
energy of this T-square—implacable power and an
irresistible energy that must have its way despite the
fear and resistance in the hearts of those who can’t
find love or some other level of non-separateness.
Kim Falconer will be back to InChant us with the Stars in Spring... astrological insights from Kim online at www.falconastrology.com
injoy
injoy
The temptation is to allow rigidity, fundamentalism
and identification to narrow perspectives and isolate
individuals in despair, cynicism, rage and absolute
selfishness. A nasty brew which could have the
potential to destroy us all - remember Armageddon!
However, with connection to the ‘Blessed Psyche’,
and the humility that it brings, we can surrender to
inevitability and begin to remember who we really
are… this is the lesson of these times; to release the
past and old ways and know our ultimate purpose.
In my experience, astrology is clear about each
person’s ultimate purpose. It is not just to die or even
to find God—the nature of Pluto is to remind us who
we really are and through writing this article it has
suddenly got much clearer… Pluto reminds us that
we’re nothing or nobody!
Pluto, at the outer extreme of our solar system and
in the core of our being, proves again and again to
be unknowable: a transformational force. Each
thought we think, every memory we have, and every
identification we make becomes ridiculously and
insanely wrong! Use the current energy of astrological
aspects to look inside yourself—go deeper and what
do you find? Emptiness, a blank slate? The natural
tendency is to immediately fill it with something
familiar, and often this is cynicism or futility, maybe
with a dose of despair or doubt for good measure,
and in a way this may serve to trigger a release, as a
good cry never hurt anyone.
The purpose of Pluto is to bring us truth… not a truth
but truth itself. Jupiter has always been recognised
as the custodian of the many truths, and it is
already pulling out the trump cards in the form of
technological breakthroughs as it conjuncts Uranus
in Aries.
Ultimately, we must all face the ultimate truth itself,
and I feel this is behind the whole 2012 scenario - The
Mission - to save ourselves from ourselves by forgiving
the guilt or pain we feel in separation. The Purpose -
to face the void, release the past and be free.
What a blessing it is that individually we can choose
how we come to this ultimate truth, through soul
healing, the psyche and love, [beware the lake
of sorrow though]. Or through the mayhem and
madness of a world in chaos coupled with all the fear
or anxiety that an identified mind feels faced with its
survival.

• Eileen and her husband John went for counselling after 25 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was, Eileen went
into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 25 years they had been married. She went on and
on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs
she had endured over the course of their marriage.
Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking
Eileen to stand, embraced her, unbuttoned her blouse, put his hands on her breasts and massaged them while kissing her
passionately as her husband John watched!
After, Eileen buttoned up her blouse and quietly sat down basking in the glow of being highly aroused.The therapist turned to John
and said, ‘This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?’
John thought for a moment and replied, ‘Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I play golf.

and I wait.
Wait for you, Love.

Waiting, for you, in, out, in, out.
Be here with me Now,

Together we breathe, AArgh, your closer now.
Stay. Stay In, deeper, In. Into the Ocean, dive, feel, Feel.

Hello..
Lover, Beauty, Joy,
Stay with me.
Peace with You.
Bliss to Know.
Beautiful You are.

We wasn’t, Are and won’t be.
For a time we join, dance,

YUM

We think it should be better, and we complain and
shake our fists and snub our noses at the smell of our
own makings.
We create a god in our image and then when it doesn’t
do our bidding we proclaim none exists
Yet under every action, every deed, every thought,
YOU.
You keep coming, Giving, with such Patience such
Kindness
All else you empower, serves without complaint or 2nd
thought.
You are Mirrored, Honoured in their very Existence.
You even placed in me the capacity to cry.
And I weep in the Joy of You
LOVER
In, out, in, out, in, out, IN
My fingers tingle with the sensation of You
Caressing the keyboard in commune with You
With Me Now You Are.
No, Don’t go
Stay, over coffee, tea, a walk, a talk
A sunset, a bird cry, a wind on my cheek.
The cold on my feet.
Let me Kiss those Lips
The Invitation and Acceptance:
Still, Stiller, Stillest.
Still Here at the End You Are .
First to come, last to go
Every step, every Look
Behind the word
Here
Still
See into Silence
Listen to the Stillness
In, out, in, out, In
You
Are
...W O W...

Thanks
And the cursor still blinks
Or is it winking now

The Law of One
The sun may be clouded yet ever the sun
Will sweep on its course till the cycle is run
And when into chaos the system is hurled
Again shall the Builder re-shape a new world.
Your path may be clouded, uncertain your goal.
Move on - For your orbit is fixed to your soul.
And though it may lead to the darkness of night
The torch of the Builder shall give it new light.
You were. You will be! Know this while you are;
Your spirit has travelled both long and afar
It comes from the Source, to the Source it
returns-
The spark which was lighted, eternally burns.
It slept in the jewel. It leapt in a wave,
It roamed in the forest. It rose from the grave.
It took on strange garbs for eons of years
And now in the soul of yourself it appears
From body to body your Spirit moves on
It seeks a new form when the old one has gone
And the form that it finds is the fabric you wrought
On the loom of the mind from the fabric of
thought.
As dew is drawn upwards, in rain to descend
Your thoughts drift away and in destiny blend
You never escape them for petty or great
Or evil or noble, they fashion your fate.
Somewhere on some planet, sometime
and somehow
Your life will reflect your thought of the now.
My law is unerring, no blood can
atone-
The structure you built, you will
live in alone.
From cycle to cycle, through
time and through space
Your lives with your longing
will ever keep pace
And all that you ask for, and
all you desire
Must come at your bidding, as
flame out of fire.
Once list to that voice and all tumult is done -
Your life is the life of the Infinite One.
In the hurrying pace you are conscious of pause
With love for the purpose, and love for the cause
You are your own Devil, you are your own God
You fashioned the paths your footsteps have trod
And no-one can save you from error or sin
Until you have harked to the Spirit within.

Hi Everyone,
I am on the Island of the Sun on Lake Titicaca, my dream come true.
The scenery is spectacular with rocks, hills, lake, snow capped mountains
in the distance across the lake, and there are a few donkeys outside my
window as I write.
Walked miles and miles to an Inca ruin yesterday, and back by moonlight,
as its nearly full moon. The energy was gorgeous and powerful. Stopped
on the rocks overlooking 3 small islands where there is a portal of high
energy.
The food is pretty good. There is usually a set menu for about $3, of
quinoa soup, trout and vegies, banana and chocolate sauce, and mate
(coca tea). There are lots of potatoes and they usually make chips. There
are about 300 (some people say 4,000) varieties of potato in South
America. Not many greens.
People on this island are friendly, but in Copacabana, they weren’t so. I
say hello and smile anyway. It’s a very popular backpackers trail and I
am meeting many young people from all over the world.
I am with Elvina and Sheri, both from Byron.
On our last day in Peru, we went to a Stargate Doorway with a Peruvian
woman Shaman, and did a ceremony. It’s similar to our own ceremonies.
Before she arrived we did a meditation and set our intentions. Firstly we
got smudged to take away lower vibrations. She had many little items
made from sugar, such as bells, houses, angels, birds, animals, cars, etc,
and handed them to us for us to put our wishes for family, health, peace,
etc, into. They were then tipped into the fire and burned. We had coca
leaves into which we put more wishes, and burned.
We then stood in one of the 3 portals, which had been cut into the
rock. Depending on which one we stood in, we were given our totems.
Mine… the Condor and the Eagle. I held a Condor foot as she brushed
me over with Eagle feathers. There was more to it than that, but this is
the general idea.
While in Puno, our last stop before leaving Peru, we went on to Lake
Titicaca to an island made from reeds from the lake. The houses are also
made from reeds, and the boats. We even ate some reed stalks, and had
a cookie that was made from reed flour.
We went to another island and stayed the night with a family, walked
up another high hill, and went to a party with local music, where my
family took great joy in dressing me in the local dress, which is a white
embroidered top, fully gathered bright green skirt, an embroidered waist
band and a black embroidered shawl which goes on the head, if you can
keep it on. We did some local dances, and walked back up the rocky path
to our home nestled in a barley field.
