Symbolic Whispers Development Circle is Back! 29th March 2013

The Symbolic Whispers Development Circle is back . The Alternative World Spiritual Centre welcomes back the Catalism of energy, uniting lightworkers to explore their understanding and connection to the spirit world in a fun and unique way. Jsson N. Ritchie has been teaching psychic development on and off for the past 15 years. Teaching courses and group since 1998. Much of his awakening came through when he endured an accident that shape shifted his life, opening new doors and portals of vibrations accessing his own awareness and connection to spirit. He has for many years, worked as a Catalyst, uniting lightworkers, often embracing crisis and encouraging their own self healing journeys and awakening their own healing and psychic abilities, but more importantly and profoundly, re-connecting their unique gift of Teacher. Jason is a teacher of teachers and has worked with many international mediums, light workers and healers. He retains that down to earth and often at times humble journey on the spiritual path. Jason has been the Catalyst for many spiritual teachers now working around the world. His work has begun once more in the connection of Mediums lightworkers and healers. This time he has been inspired to bring the balance into peoples lives as well as the connection between the healing journey and the spirit awareness journey, linking the connection with what is felt within the body and auric fields when giving healing as well as connecting to the spirit world. Old school teachings teach that Mediumship and healing are to be kept separate yet the two are very musc in tune as working as a healer, one is a channel, the same can be said to mediumship. Together with his partner Luis, who is often a battery as well as a great energy in the circle bringing in fun and laughter, they work together in bringing the teaching modual as a fun and enjoyable experience. If one is a medium, they are a channel. Detachment and humility are great guidelines when working as a channel for either the healer or the medium.

With the recent block buster movie 2012 and the hype and debates that surround this, I have become all too aware of the amount of people that are at a crossroads in their life.
It can be quite a disruptive cycle when you lose your job and find yourself in a situation where you are not earning, unable to pay the mortgage or the bills as well as having mouths to feed.
Perhaps you are now suffering with an ongoing ailment you find yourself within a destructive pattern. Whatever the pattern or reason, you are unable to move forward.
Often it is fear that holds us back from entering the void. The Void, is the unknown.

However everyday of our lives when we wake up, we enter that void. We may have plans or ideas of where we are going , but in actual fact we put the trust into the day in the hope that it will manifest. But we dont know if it actually will. Anything could happen from one day to the next. Subconsciously we do enter the void. Additionally when we go to sleep. We enter a void of dreamstate. It is an unknown and expansive territory.

Whatever your current hurdle or problem, it is being shown to you trying to inform you that something has to change within your current life cycle. If for example you are suffering on going back pain then address your posture, do some exercise or visit a person who can assist with a complementary suppor for your trouble. Remember that complementary practitioners are not an alternative, they instead work alongside and help in treating the whole person . Additionally backpain can be seen as a sign that something in your personal life has to change. The back is part of your foundation, your support system. Therefore it maybe happening to ask you to look at you current support system within your family or relationship. Do you feel supported in your current situation. Do you feel you have a good foundation and support network? Often lower back pain comes in when The mother or the Anchor of the family has passed. Do you feel orphaned?
Do you feel your current relationship is not working? Do you feel trapped by circumstances?

These are all signs that could be causing your current back pain apart from a physical injury. Yet even so often we receive an injury in a place to help us learn something about ourselves.

It is a shame that so many people revert into the lost child when a trauma affects their life. I have seen so many people lately stuck at the cross roads of life unsure of where to go or indeed how to access it. Unfortunately circumstance has stolen their heart for the lack of self love and respect as well as the stealing their self esteem thus feeding the spiral of depression and hoplessness.

However because of your current situation you are being knudged to trust your intuition and wake up to smell the roses. Life is what you make it. There is always a solution. It might be that you need some assistance along the way, and if you do, take advantage of the kindness being shown towards you rather than sabotage it. Lack of self esteem creates a self doubt and self belief pattern that will control your life. However the signs that are being shown to you, could be there to teach you a lesson in remaining a victim in the spiral of hopelessness or it could assist you in making a life transforming desision that could create abundance and prosperity in all areas of your life.

The majority of students who come to us on the Reiki courses we run are nearly always at a cross roads in their life. First we show them their current thought patterns and teach them a new way of living in a positive and sustainable way. Simply accessed through meditation, taking timeout for the self and healing the self. There is an expression that when one door closes another will open offering another opprotunity. Having been witness to several hundred students, whom the majority have changed their life for the better after realizing that their former belief patterns were destructive, and are not only helping themselves, but are reaching out and touching other peoples life in a positive way.

The cross roads of life is a powerful metaphore for bringing in something positive. That in turn is what 2012 is about. It is not about the earthquakes and the destruction by mother earth to the planet, but more about the way we act and treat one another. Perhaps the only way to stop the unnessesary wars in Iraq and Afganistan or the hatred between the Jews and the Islamic people is to have a destruction that will affect everyone. Why? Because it is within these times that people pull together and realize that something has to change. 2012 is about teaching you, the general public that your current destructive patterns have to change. It teaches us to live in the moment.

Let me ask you one question.
If 2012 did mean the end of the world as we know it. If it meant that you only had two years to live. What would you do?
Would you sit at home crying and feeling sorry for yourself being the victim. Would you just give up, drink and smoke yourself to death OR
Would you expand your consciousness and strive to achieve as much as possible in a short time period. Would you help those less fortunate than yourself?
Would you travel and visit all that you have wished for?

This is what your current life change represents. Its time to change your consciousness into something powerful and positive.

I would like to hear from you. If you feel that you are at a crossroads and are unsure what path to take then please call us to arrange a Reading or Healing session.
We are here to be of service to you to assist you in making the right desision and putting the best foot forward.

Reiki 1 Workshop 15th and 16th January 2011
10.00am-6.00pm Saturday and Sunday
175,00 euros
50,00 euro deposit to reserve

Taking those all important steps towards the spiritual self, is often a hard decision to make. Often a life changing occurrence has occurred within your life, to assist you in making those all important positive changes towards an aspect of light and renewal.

Many people have experienced, hardships, relationship breakups, illness , the loss of a loved one or even a near death experience. It is at these low points in life that we ...begin to re-evaluate our lives and feel and know that there is something better.

Too many people are “people pleasers” and do not give enough time to themselves.
Knowing that you deserve better and that you can do something to help yourself as well as others, is indeed a gift to accept into your unique way of existence.
Reiki one is about finding that time.
Time for the self
Creating a balance within your life, so that you are in a position to help yourself and to help others.

It must be acknowledged, that Reiki is not just a form of healing. It is a path.

Fulfilling your lifes purpose really comes to the fore when you have accessed the first major step towards enlightenment. That first step occurs through Reiki 1.

Reiki 1 is called the foundation maker.
To enable yourself to grow spiritually you need a firm foundation to work upon.
Reiki can give you that. It plants a seed, so you may grow and blossom into the person you are, not the person others want you to be.

Reading this page today, helps you to acknowledge, that that all important step forward
Is only moments away.
We look forward to meeting and connecting with you soon..

Have you heard the expression, that there is no such thing as co-incidence? Perhaps you have entered into discussion with your friends or family and debated the issue.
I believe that everything happens for a reason. You are meant to meet and experience all that happens in divine timing.
There are many people who question what happens and why. But if we learn to adjust to what has happened and learn to accept then our lives become a little easier to understand.

The calling to the spiritual path is no exception to the rule and is often a major player in assisting you to change your life around for the better. However often there are major hurdles to jump before the path is walked. So many people wish to embark upon the journey of spiritual development or link with higher realms, feeling that their lives will improve considerably. However it is always a balance. The spiritual development also assists you to live your life here on earth. I feel too many people wish to escape from the trappings of earthly life, and connect to what is on a higher frequency. Yet the higher frequency assists your earthly incarnation.

Spiritual development and awareness is not easy. Life as a medium, clairvoyant or healer, is not the easiest of paths.
Life throws many experiences upon our paths, yet it is important to learn the lessons so that we as a whole are able to help one and other.
Life is a learning curve, an experience. Often those who have endured many horrific or hard lessons in life and lived through them are there to inspire as well as encourage those of us who wish to help ourselves and others..

If you read any books by famous mediums or healers you will often hear about their past being hard. Often they may have had to overcome illness or severe struggles before they get to where they are.
Why?
So they are able to empathize with the people they are trying to help.

There are many great teachers out there in the world, who are currently experiencing hardships and asking themselves "why me?"
You are hear to help others but first you are to learn the important lesson of healing yourself. Too many people forget about themselves when living their life. Too many people live their unhappy lives, yet find comfort in living through someone else rather than for themselves.
Too many people are people pleasers and can not bring themselves to help the self. Comfort knocks on their door when they are helping others. The danger with this , is that one day, sooner rather than later you will burn out. Giving too much energy for others as well as pushing the self too much can be destructive and lead to ill health.
I have met quite a few mediums who have developed and become great mediums. However with their new popularity and success, they become obsessed and begin to fall ill with the strain of trying to help everyone.

If you are considering developing as a medium I personally would suggest that you become a healer first and foremost. Not only does this teach you about channeling energy, but it also connects you with the clairsentience, "clear feeling", enabling you to begin to "trust" what you are receiving. Healing also teaches you to help and heal yourself. Now it could be "coincidence" that you have heard the same words before, if so then that is something you have to acknowledge within yourself. Dont run, before you can walk. Healing, especially "Reiki" opens you up to connect with higher frequencies as well as lifting your own current vibration to a higher level.
Reiki also teaches you to meditate, to visualize as well as, I feel, being a great foundation for your spiritual path and development.

If you read any books by mediums such as Betty Shine, Caroline Myss, Susan Pheonix, Gordon Smith, you will hear about their life as a Healer.
Never under estimate yourself by what you have experienced. I have seen some former Heroin addicts become great Yoga Teachers, Mediums, Spiritual Teachers and so forth. If its any comfort for you, those who have walked a harder path are, born teachers. If you ask yourself, "What could I possibly teach?" the answer is , you have been teaching without realizing it. Everyone that crosses your path, has learned something valuable from you. You may have inspired a person from either a positive "from your inner strength and determination to never give up" or from a negative point of view, by playing the victim of "why me" and getting everyone to feel sorry for you. This is a great teaching to many as it teaches them, not to follow the same path. So in many ways without realizing it you are assisting in improving a persons life.

Yet anyone who has experienced hardship and had a hard life, they are often born to "trust". That is often their soul lesson. Most people on this path have been the deciever as well as the victim to others lies. Circumstance has given them a tough option for not trusting their own unique sense of intuition. Low self esteem and behavioral patterns also prevent the lesson from being learned. But that is not an excuss. Not trusting is the lesson, yet you are probably aware od spirit energies or have a sixth sense yet for some reason scared of it." Why? " Because you dont trust it, and dont believe it.
This is however your life lesson to overcome and life will continue to throw harder lessons until you begin to realize that yes, you do have to trust.
Often it is the biggie hardship that draws you closer to the higher realms. You realize that something has to change.
Thats when the real soul journey begins, where you can re-connect to who you are as a person and start understanding why you have experinced what you have endured.

Once that realization comes into play, the connection to the spiritual aspect of your development knudges its way forward into your life.

The soul needs food. It may have felt that the life you were living was not sustaining its existance. Therefore something had to change.
Accidents never happen by chance, there is always a reason and something is always to be learned.
How many times have you seen a person trip in the street?
Have you seen them blame the pavement, or a broken tile or an obstruction on the path?
Or have you heard them say, "I must pay more attention to where I am going, I need to learn something positive from this so it does not happen again"
Lol , I have a feeling it is the first phrase that either you or others have said or done.

Followed by group discussion

Closing with Healing Meditation for Mother Earth and her Universe.

If you are please confirm your place

Evening is donation Only

According to research made by scientists, the year 2012 is the most dreaded year because as predicted by experts and clairvoyants, the end of the world will take place on December 21, 2012.

Some say the end will be due to human acts of destructions and some say it will be brought about by natural disasters and calamities.

HAVE YOUR SAY......WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

GROUP DISCUSSION

Great importance is being given by people to what the ancient Rosicrucian says about the future. It seems to be alarming because of the predictions they have. This can also affect how you would consider Nostradamus’ 2012 end time prediction of the future.

“Our planet thus enters into its next evolutionary phase, securing itself a place as a new member of the galactic community.”

“A transformation, triggered by the completion of the Great Cycle has already taken place, signalled by a shift in the resonating frequency; this shift announces the end of the Great Cycle and gives a premonition of the brilliance of our galactic, solar and planetary reality in the following era which begins with 2012 AD."

Why did the Maya consider this date to be so especially unusual that they regarded it as the completion of their calendar cycle ?

It is not the calendar date that is of importance here, but the astronomical event that takes place at that time – namely the particular position of our solar system in relation to the Milky Way.

Why should the so-called “end date” of the Mayan calendar – at the time of the winter solstice on 21./22. December, 2012 – be of particular importance?

Reiki 2 Workshop 19/20 February at 10:00 Mijas Costa 2011

Reiki Two is the second degree level.
There are many ways in which Reiki is taught. This largely depends upon the Teacher and the Lineage that is followed.

I practise the Traditional Usui method as well as the Integrated Tibetan method.
Level two can only be taken after you have completed level one. You must have been attuned to level one for a minimum of three months. As you know, Reiki One is largely about Self Healing and meditation although you are also introduced to healing others.

Reiki two is about using the Sacred symbols of Reiki that were channelled by Mikao Usui in the late 1800s. These originally are to be kept sacred, although now you can find them on the internet and published within many books. In one way this goes against the Traditional teaching of Reiki.

Reaching Reiki two does not mean that you stop working upon yourself.
It means that you continue at a deeper level as well as healing others.



The Workshop

This workshop is taught over 2.5 days

Three days prior to the workshop you will receive the Symbols and the Mantras. You must be able to draw, the symbols as well as write and chant the mantras. These you must learn off by heart by the time you return for the workshop. The symbols and mantras must be destroyed so that no-one can view them. You will know them and retain them within.

.Throughout the Workshop you are taught to feel and connect to the energy of each symbol through meditation practices. Each symbol carries a different vibration and healing energy.
You will connect with the Power Symbol, Mental Emotional and the Distance Symbol.

The Occult Arts- Opening the door

The Occult Arts- Unlocking the door- The Tarot part 2
By Jason Ritchie

Exploring the hidden energies related to the Tarot can sometimes seem a little daunting. Yet there are many currently seeking to expand their consciousness and learn the great teachings found within the depth of these cards.

Firstly I wish to express that although Tarot cards are often advertised as a "game", the utmost respect should be shown towards them. I also stress that they are not a game, but actually unlock a greater expansiveness of awareness and are able to fore tell the next steps on your path. Having read the Tarot for the last 15 years I still am surprised at the way in which they fall and how they can be read. The Tarot never lie. However the person interpreting the spread is the one who may see the Tarot in a different light to another.

Let me firstly explain how to choose a deck of Tarot Cards.

If we stay with the historical energy associated with the cards and suppose that they derive from Egypt, the Gypsies have with them the energy that teaches us much about our ancestral knowledge as well as our current life path. Additionally the doorways to our future have already been assigned to us, we just have to open the door. The gypsy or Tarot reader is able to access this , therefore having a pack of cards holds a responsibility.

If you are sure that you wish to own a pack of Tarot cards, you must then always receive a deck. Especially the first one. It is essential and part of historical energy associated with the cards that inheriting a pack is beneficial for your development. If you have no-one to pass a pack down to you (usually the gift of reading runs in families), then have someone buy you a pack of cards from a shop/internet. Now this can be attained on two different levels. Lets imagine you are in a shop with a friend. You see decks of tarot on a shelf, if a particular deck captures your eye, then ask your friend to buy it for you. Once it is bought, it can be given to you. If you are in touch with your intuition or healing power you may wish to scan the decks with your hand. Where you feel a connection, ask your friend to buy it, then receive it as a gift. Alternatively you can ask your friend to buy you a pack of Tarot cards and just be open to accepting the cards that have been chosen for you.

NB. At this time of development it is beneficial to not have in your possession for development the "Aliester Crowley Thoth deck". Aliester Crowley was an intelligent and powerful man. His energy rides through the waves of the Tarot deck. Although powerful he also walked the path of the darkness, an avenue not to explore when first learning the deck of the Tarot. I would recommend the Ryder Waite, or the Mythic to start with.

Reading the Tarot is a gift and one that once you have developed your gift you are able to access spiritual doorways that you had only read about. The tarot falls into the category of the "Occult arts", the "hidden arts of communication".

Now all Tarot decks carry with then a little book. Each card has two general meanings depending upon the position of the cards (upright or reversed) in which they are laid. It is also worth noting that they also mean something different depending on what cards they are next to. Therefore I recommend to our students that, although the book gives a guide line reference of meaning, it is, in fact beneficial to discard the book and connect with each card separately. Meditation with the Tarot is beneficial. By expanding your consciousness with each card you are able to understand more about who you are. I feel that many people are unaware of this energy, yet it is a manner in which I was taught, and additionally pass down to our students.

Looking at the symbols and imagery in each individual tarot card, further assisting an awareness of consciousness that exists within each card. The cards also need to be looked after in a very caring and delicate manner. Remember respect. Treat them almost as human beings. When you enter into meditation, you can see each card as a lesson, person or experience. Live through the power of the cards. It is then beneficial to cleanse and appreciate them, especially before/after readings.



Rubbing lavender oil/perfume/incense over the back of each card, then putting them together in the upright position. Shuffle them and then put them to rest. Buy a lovely piece of silk, either black, purple, green, white or gold. You can then either put them into a box with a selection of spiritual images or you can leave them in their silk cloth and place them in a place where they are hidden and wont absorb energy from those living in your house/Space. Additionally you may wish to keep them in a box with fresh or dried herbs, Pine or crystals like Red Jasper and white Onyx. It is equally important not to sleep with them in your bedroom., unless you are meditating with an individual card, that is best placed under your pillow. The energy associated with the card will emanate through the pillow and into your subconscious state, thus unlocking the door to a greater understanding of its teaching.

Before reading the Tarot it is beneficial to meditate. Choose a place where you can have piece and tranquillity and time to digest the energy associated with the card. Light some candles, light some incense and still your mind. Hold the pack in your left hand or place your palm over them and ask them to work with you and through you to benefit your spiritual development as well as those whom you aim to read in the future. You may like to say a prayer and visualize yourself in a space with white light extended to all four corners of the room. Within the white light visualize a door. Stood at this door when it opens is your spiritual door keeper. The door keeper can bring forth the energy associated with the card you are going to learn.

Always after any spiritual work, ask the images to return into the light, and back through the door. Close the door and allow the image of the white light to fade. Say a prayer to close and open your eyes. Write down your experience associated with that card. In time you are able to create your own journal as living through the deck of the Tarot.


There are four suits, the wands, cups, swords and coins. Each suit has its own individual teaching and lesson. The suits in many ways represent the lessons we have to attain in our lives. The Major Arcana, total 22 cards represent then main lesson. In the Tarot part 3 I will introduce you to the suits of the Tarot and their meanings. However if you feel you would like to develop this art of reading the Tarot please see contact info@alternative-world.org You can read articles previously published in the spanish sun newspaper on my blog www.spirit-link.blogspot.com

The Tarot- Part One-The History of the Tarot

The Tarot (Part 1)

The History of the Tarot

"The Tarot could be described as Gods Picture Book or it could be likened to a Celestial game of chess, the trumps being the piece to be moved according to the law of their own order over a chequered board of the four elements"

-Lady Frieda Harris-

Historians have turned to the word "Tarot" to attempt to solve its origin.
Some believe that the Tarot comes from the ancient Egyptian word "Ta- rosh" which means "The Royal Way"
Others however believe that it is an anagram of "Rota" meaning wheel, similar to the Chakras. They feel the cards represent the circle of life from birth to death.
Others on the otherhand feel it derives from the Hebrew word "Torah" which means "law" deriving from the ancient and mystical system of the "Cabalah". Interestingly the Cabalah actually originated in Spain, yet the Tarot major trumps are traditionally, not actually used. "Thoth" is the Ancient Egyptian God of Magic and Wisdom, an attempt from the mystical east mentions that the cards originated in the initiation temples. Moving to the European homelands the Hungarians believe it derives from the word "Tar" meaning deck of cards which in turn derives from "sanskrit", originally "Taru".

The word "Gypsy" is an old English abbreviation of "Egyptian". Interestingly there is place in France, "The Crypt of the Church of Les Maries de la Mer" in the Camargue region of Southern France, that is exclusive to Gypsies. It contains a shrine to Saint Sara of Egypt, supposedly their patron saint. Some believe her to be catholic others see her as "Sarapis" The Egyptian God of the Dead. It is also believed in French folklaw that the Shrine of Saint Sara rests upon an ancient altar dedicated to Mithras, the Persian Sun God.

The early scholars believed that the earlies form of playing cards originated in China and Korea. The earlies examples have been found dating back as far as the 11th century. The design of the cards appears to have been based on a design similar to paper money. These evolved in the T ang Dynasty (618-908 A.D.). However a chinese dictonary, Ching-tze-tung, claims the playing cards were invented in 1120A.D. for the amusement of the Emperors concubines!

There is a belief that the cards originated from India. There is a Hindu Diety called "Ardhanarishvara" an andrógenos figure combining the right half of the God Shiva and the left his consort Parvati. This is often depicted holding a cup, a sceptre, a sword and a ring. The Monkey God "Hanuman" is often shown holding these emblems. They are similar to the four suits of the Tarot, the cups, wands/staves, swords and coins/disks/pentacles.
It is possible that the four suits refer to the four castes of Hinduism, cups being the priests, Swords the warriors, Wands the Serfs and Coins the Merchants

From the time of the Islamic Empire, Egpyt had been sort out by many wizards minds to be the magical and mystical kingdom where many secrets originated.
The word "Alchemy" interestingly derives from Arabic, meaning "The art of Khem" or "Egypt".
Egypt seems to be held by many occultists as the birth place of the Tarot. It was here that its power was re-discovered.

It was only in the 14th Century that the Tarot entered into Europe. At the time Christianity reigned supreme, even though there was a strong under current of Paganism. Unfortunatly there were terrible persecutions of Heretics. A rise of Hereticle Christian Sects, which are grouped under the title "Gnosticism"
The word Gnostic is derived from Greek and implies simerly to the "Anglo Saxon" word for "Wizard" or "Witch" or "someone who knows" "a wise man"
Gnostisism is mixed with Indian, Caldean, Persian, and Egyptian Magical doctrines. They are seasoned with Greek Philosophy and Hebrew Cabalistic beliefs.
These unorthodox Christian sects were called such names as "Waldenes", "Cathari", "Albigenses", "Bogornils" and the Monastic Order, known as the "Knights Templar"

Alexandria became the centre for Gnostic learning around the 2nd century A.D.
It is from this welter of Gnostic Cults that the "occult arts" of the west appear to derive such as Alchemy, astrology, and images of the tarot.
Popular demand for cards far outweiged Religious opposition to them and by the mid 15th Century, card making workshops were thriving in the Cities of Italy, France, Germany and Belgium

In 1781, eight years before the French Revolution, "Antoine Court de Gebelin", a french occultist and archeologist proposed a theory that the "Gypsy Tarot" was the remains of an ancient "Egyptian Book of Magical Wisdom". The effect of this work became the tool for the "Rosicrucian Sages" and it was fated as the bible of all true occultists.

"Eliphas Levi" a French Rosicrucian" writer and Cabalist, inspired the 18th century occult revival. He discovered that there was an apparent link between the 22 leters of the Hebrew Alphabet and the cards of the Major Arcana. He was the first to give elements to suits.

A secret society was born, "The Golden Dawn" foundered by three scholars, Wynn Westcott, S.L.Macgregor Mathers and Dr. William K. Woodman. A blend of Eliphas Levis theosophy and magical cabalism as well as Egyptian Rosicrucian ceremonies typical of the 17th and 18th centuries. The purpose was to reach mystical illumination and magical power. The chief symbol that the group used for its teaching was the "Tree of Life" based on medieval philosophy of Spanish Juaism Known as Cabala.

Letting Go of a loved one

Last week I set you an additional task in moving a pencil out of a drawn circle using the power of your mind. Did any of you achieve the task.
There is a possibility that you did see it hovering slightly or even the elusion that it was levatating.
The example of this exercise is not for you necessarily to move the pencil, but more to still your mind as well as focusing you energy on one thing.
Thats the secret. Basically if you focus all your available and channelled energy on one thing then the task in hand can be achieved.



This week I wish to focus upon the signs that are presented to us on a daily basis.
Often our lives are just so hectic that we dont have time to stop and be aware of the signs available to us

How can I communicate with my departed mother, how do I know if she is watching over me?

Firstly I wish to offer my condolences to the departure of your mother. Losing a loved one is hard and emotionally stressful.
You may be feeling right now a desire or need to connect to your departed loved one. This may give you reasurrance that they are at peace as well as a knowing that our lives continue in some form of existance after this one.

Our lives do continue and the journey to the otherside can be as stressful for the person departing as well as those who are left behind. Last year I read a book, that I wish to recommend, called "Many lives, Many Masters" by Brian Weiss. In the book it details through several regression states into past life regression the time of passing from one world to another.
When a person is ready to pass a light, bright as a thousand suns appears, to which they enter. They feel no pain. Pain is a Physical experience. Once we have left the physical body, the pain does not continue. However they only find it hard to enter the light when a person here on the earth plain finds it hard to let go. This is not to say that they have not passed over, but their energy may be lingering until they have given you a sign, a reasurrance that all is well.

In the past I have taken students into meditations where they ascend into the etheric world, the place where they become in touch with their light body. When they are in a meditave state, they never experience pain. It is only when they re-enter the physical that they begin to become aware of their pain. That would tell us that suffering or pain is a lesson.

The following exercise is a meditation beneficial for those of you who find it hard to let go of your loved ones.
Even when you let go, their energy of love will still be around when you need it, but theyre journey on the otherside must also continue. Our soul is eternal and never stops growing and evolving.

For best results you can get a friend to read this and listen to the words. Read the Meditation slowly and calmly, leaving time in between for meditation. If at any point you feel the need to cry, then allow the tears to flow, they aid the release.

Firstly sit in a comfortable position.
Take a deep breath in through the nose, hold for a count of 2 and breath out slowly through the mouth. You can repeat this three of four times until you begin to feel a little more relaxed.
If you have any tension, take a deep breath and breathe into that area of the body where you are experiencing the pain, then breathe out slowly. Lastly take a deep breath in but breathing in white light and breathe out into your aura, expanding it and filling it with a bright light of love.

Now take your attention to the top of your head and slowly relax the muscles at the top of your head and face, relax.
Relax your face neck and shoulders, relax.
Relax the muscles of your shoulders, arms, hands and fingers, relax.
You are starting to become calmer and more relaxed
Relax the muscles of your chest, your back and your stomach, relax
Relax your pelvis, legs, feet and toes, relax
You are feeling calmer and more relaxed

(2 mins)

Place your hands on your lap with palms facing upward
In the palms of your hand, visualize sense or imagine a ball of light
Imagine this ball of light getting larger and larger and larger until it fills all four corners of the room
Feel the light of love in this room, feel the sense of love and protection.

At this point you may wish to say a personal prayer.

( 2 mins)

Now picture your mother or departed loved one. Feel their energy stood at your side.
Focus upon a happy memory that you both shared.
Spend a few moments recollecting this special time together
(it is important to not focus upon the sad times or the times of the passing)

(2 mins)

Now I want you to imagine, sense or visualize a port. This can be anywhere or even your imagination, just allow the images to be received.
Imagine walking through the docks of that port with your loved one.
At the end of the peir is a ship.
Make your way towards the ship.
You approach the steps that boards the ship
It is time to say good bye to your loved one as they have to take this voyage alone, without you.
Spend precious moments with your loved one and say all the things you wish you had said prior to their initial passing.

(2 mins)


Embrace your loved one
Feel her energy enveloped with yours
Smell her perfume
ASK HER FOR A SIGN.
(you can ask them for a specific word or image )
Ask her to produce the sign within a 2 week time period, that way you will receive your confirmation in a short space of time)
Ask her to present you with a sign, so you will know that they have got to the otherside.
So you know that the ship has made its destination.

(2 mins)

Now see her stepping aboard
She begins to walk away from you.
She is smiling, smiling and thanking and thinking of you.
If you smile back then their journey to the otherside will be more peaceful and easier.
The ship begins to leave the port.
The ship sets sail towards the setting sun.

Stand on the portside, continuing to wave farewell, yet knowing that you will meet again.
See her waving and smiling.
The ship is silloueted by the setting sun. Almost a dot until it is no more
Yet you retain the knowingness of love with in your heart.




Spend a little time for contemplation with the experience

Say a little prayer and again ask for your sign to give you confirmation that your loved one is at peace.

You may wish to write down your experience on paper or share a hug/tears with a friend.

Please e.mail your questions and experiences info@alternative-world.org

Staying grounded Part 2

Following from last weeks article- Staying grounded. Part 2

I gave you a little insight into the question that had been asked from a reader regarding Staying Grounded.
Additionally I gave you a meditation to practise to encourage greater connection and sustainability within your life, especially if you are working within the field of Therapies or Spiritual development. However I must state that this can be used by anyone who wishes to meditate orfeel a sense of purpose or connection.

Since writing the article a couple of people have crossed my path and stated that they felt they were lost, just drifting through life and not really knowing whether they should be here in Spain or in the Uk or in fact further a field. The constant barrage of media coverage in western media outlets does not help matters as the majority of people find themselves conditioned that there is no hope and the world is suffering a great depression, with the Crisis.

If you learn to step away from media influences and look towards and give energy to what you want to fulfil you stand a better chance of creating. God/the universe loves a trier. Many successful men and women in history once had nothing and created abundance through hardwork and determination to succeed.

Firstly I wish to address the meaning of the meditation that I gave you last week.

Staying Grounded- The seed

Firstly you found yourself in a meadow, colourful and a creation of your own making. This place that you found yourself is a representation of the otherside, the spirit world.

The Path you followed once walking through a gate, was your journey in the spirit world. The path took you to a Farm house where you met the farmer and his wife/partner.
The representation is your guides,/God/goddess energy that is on the otherside assisting you with the birth and creation of your soul.

The food and drink given represents your sustainability and your nourishment

The seed given in the palm of your hand, represents your soul

You are asked to take the seed into the wilderness. This is the point that you leave the spirit world and make your descent to the earth plain

You are asked to find a place to bury the seed. a place where you feel the seed can grow
This represents a place where your soul can and will be nourished. If it is a place you grew up, then you will know and understand the lessons learned, if it is a place not visited then it is there for you to seek so you can reach a fulfillment for your soul

You are asked to dig a hole and place the seed within the hole, feed it with water and cover it up. You are then asked to sit back and watch your seed grow-

Watching the roots burrow into the ground gives the seed strength to grow. The energy it connects with feeds the seed so it is able to rise up and embrace the light of day. The seed represents your soul . The type of tree that you blossom into will give a bearing into the type of character and lessons that you will experience in this lifetime.
Seeing Blossom on your tree will denote that you are starting to flower within yourself. The colour will give a bearing on the lessons and chakra that is to be nurtured.
If you bore fruit, then it is a ripe time to move forward with your life and realize that you have a special gift to share.

You were asked to hug your tree. Hugging the tree represents a hugging and loving of the self. You become intouch with your own soul and the energy that runs though the very core of who you are. The texture of the bark also denotes the type of character and personality you show to the world. The age of the tree denotes the age of your soul.

Now take yourself back to that place, to your tree and become aware of what it looks like. Dont try to change anything to make things fit, learn to love your tree as it is. It will only change as you become more connected and focused on the exercise.

An addition you can make to the meditation is to sit with your back against the tree visualizing the roots below, the energy running through the tree from below and from the heavens down through the universe and the sky and into the tree. Feel both energies within your heart. Then visualize or imagine a ring of light around your tree. A spinning ring of light. This is protection. Know that you are always protected and that noone can harm you. Take that light within your heart and feel the love of God within your soul, your seed of life.


Here is another exercise for you to complete. I would like to hear from you. Please e.mail info@alternative-world.org

As I mentioned above the secret to success comes from focus. Your intention for that desired outcome largely depends on you and the energy you give out. Obviousdly when you channel energy as opposed to magnetic energy the outcomes will vary. However everyone is capable of attaining a goal.

Exercise B

Take a piece of paper and place a pen or pencil in the centre of the page

Next draw an oval circle around the pen/pencil

Now sit down with your back upright and the palms of your hands placed gently on your lap

Face the page and pen/pensil

Now with the power of your mind move the pen/pensil across the page and out of the circle.


This is possible
Try this exercise and record/e.mail your experience

Staying Grounded- Your questions answered

Your Spiritual Questions answered.



Please write to info@alternative-world.org for all your spiritual and psychic questions

Staying Grounded

You have heard the expression, "keep your feet on the ground". Staying grounded on the spiritual path is paramount to achieve focus and direction.
With your feet firmly on the ground, enables the human spirit to know what is wanted, needed to reach fulfillment and success.

If you take an idealology of a Tree as a significator to represent the human spirit.

If a tree does not have roots, it finds it hard to grow spread its branches, blossom and bare fruit/seeds.
If we do not have depth, and sustained energy, we are restricted within our own lives. We are unable to spread our wings and expand our horizons.
Not having a direction or self belief, limits the amount of achievement that the human spirit is capable of. Staying within a comfort zone limits the growth and resourcefulness of the soul.

Working on the path of spiritual development, people can become absorbed within what they are learning. Passion for life and a belief is great as long as you dont lose sight of what else is going on around you. I have seen some people developing, putting great emphasis upon what they are getting and how much it has helped. Unfortunately this is a sign of the ego creeping in. Once you let the ego in it can create a divide between reality.

I try to encourage students to remain grounded and focused in what they are doing as well as living a fulfilled and happy life. Spiritual development may only take you to the next level where you are able to maintain greater happiness than before. Love is actually a great significator in attaining inner peace, happiness and fulfillment.

Many people have a desire to become a medium. It appears to be a great attraction . When I have asked the question "Why do you wish to become a medium?" the answer has often been , "Because I want to help people". Thats great, but first you have to help and develop yourself. Most Mediums have also walked the path of healing. This teaches you to channel energy as well as open the third eye as well as introduce you to the "Clairsentience" (Clear feeling) which is a basis to development for mediumship.

Whether it is mediumship, psychic development or healing the basic principle is to stay grounded.
There are those who think that they have walked the path for a while and dont need to ground themselves. Unfortunately they are wrong. Not grounding the self , creates illhealth, lack of focus and self esteem, lack of direction and depression. It also enables the ego to take over. Once the ego steps in the gift is lost and what you are receiving is not coming from the heart, but the mind to fill the ever growing ego.

So how do I ground myself?
I have written many meditations. Here is one that is also available on CD.
It is better if you can get a friend to read the meditation to you, that way you will access greater connection to what you are achieving. Read it slowly allowing the images to take affect.
Firstly find an enviroment where you can relax and unwind for about 20 minutes. If you say to yourself, I dont have time, then find time.
Remember if you want to develop, then you will be able to find time.

When you are grounding yourself it is best to do the meditation seated. Laying down, may take you away from what you are trying to achieve.

Close your eyes. Take a deep breath in through your nose, hold for a count of three and breathe out through your mouth.
Repeat this three times untill you begin to feel a little more relaxed. When the body is able to relax it is able to consentrate and sustain improved health and relaxation.
Many people do not actually know how to breathe. Many breathe very shallow, not filling the lungs with air.

Now as you breathe in, imagine breathing in a bright white light. Imagine that light filling the body. As you breathe out, breathe that white light into your aura (the energy field that surrounds your being). Expand your light outwards to a comfortable distance. Imagine your aura sparkling with white light. Focus upon how much healthier you are beginning to feel.

Visualize, imagine or think that you are in a field. Imagine the long grass swaying in the wind. Picture trees at one end of the field. Become aware of brightly coloured wild flowers in the field.
Lie down and smell the fragrance in the air. Stare at the blue sky above as the occaisional cloud passes by. Feel the gentle caress of the breeze upon your cheeks.
(pause)

Now get up and walk through the field until you come to a gate. Walk through the gate and you find yourself upon a path. The path leads into a lush green valley. Walk this path observing the beauty that surrounds you. (Allow any images to present themselves).
(Pause)

In the distance you make out some farm buildings. As you approach a figure of a farmer, with a jolly smile steps towards you. He welcomes you and states that he has been waiting for you.
You are welcomed into his home where his wife has baked some fresh bread and has a cooking pot on the stove. You sit at the table. You are given drink and a plate of food . Allow all images to present themself to you. (Be aware of what you receive).

Once you have finished your meal, the Farmer walks you towards the door. You thank them kindly for their hospitality.

As the farmer shakes your hand he places a seed in the palm of your hand. He states "You must walk into the wilderness, go where you must go . When you reach your destination, plant this seed."
Thank the farmer and bid farwell as you embark on your voyage. Allow time and your minds eye to take you to a place where you feel you want to plant your seed. (dont question what you receive, only accept the images that come to you).
(Pause)

You have now reached your destination. Now dig a hole and plant your seed. Place the seed in the hole. Place a little water and then cover it up. Now sit back and watch as your seed begins to grow. Imagine the roots burrowing deeper and deeper into the earth. As the roots connect to the center of the earth, they connect with a golden light. Imagine the golden light rising up through the roots and filling that seed with light. The light enables the seed to grow. Visualize the seed sprouting, a bright green shoot, reaching upwards. Moving up through the earth until it pushes up through the earth, embracing the light of day. Once in the light the shoot becomes a stem, then a trunk. Expanding and sreading into branches. See your tree filled with leaves and blossom. Allow the image of the tree to present itself to you. (What tree do you have?)
(Pause)

Once in bloom walk towards your tree. Embrace it. Hug your tree and feel the energy of the earth running though its existance. Feel that energy running through you. Look up through the branches and feel the light from the heavens blessing each leaf, feel the light running through the branches the trunk and into the earth. Feel that light within yourself. Feel the texture of the bark against your cheeks.
(Pause)

Now sit with your back against the tree. Become at one with your tree. Feel its energy. Feel its power.

Now watch the blossom turn to fruit/seeds.

One fruit/seed descends towards you. This is a gift. Treasure it as it is yours to sow.

Next week I will explain the meaning of this meditation.

Food for thought-Exploring the Akashic Records

Exploring the Akashic Records- Food for thought

The last couple of articles have detailed meditations via the connection with the higher-self and onward and upward to the connection to the Akashic records.
These articles are also based on findings that our group, the Symbolic Whispers Development Circle, have connected with. Research I feel is paramount within this arena of study as in many ways it backs up evidence of a co-existance of reality. Last week other members of the circle met and engaged on a similar journey, to one that other members had experienced. There had not been any corrospondance between the individuals in question, nor were they aware of what we were going to connect with on that week.

I feel it is also important to look at co-incidences and explore thier meanings of what the correlation between the significance and the reality is. On this particluar evening, 9 persons were sitting in the circle. Firstly we explored the power of 9 and what this actually means. 9 in the number for completion. It is also seen as a spiritual number and within numerology is correlated with the colour gold. Gold vibrational learnings and teachings often bring with it a profound and powerful teaching. 9 is also the number of the Hermit in the Tarot. Thus it would explain that within the month of Virgo a lesson about finding the inner light comes to the fore. Perhaps this is a universal lesson in that around september/october we as a whole will learn a profound lesson that will affect humanity. Each person in turn expressed what they felt 9 represented.

Following this we entered into meditation (after bringing in the light to secure the presence of love)

Nothing is ever scripted, when we enter into a meditive state. We let intuition guide us.

As number 9 was so apparent we entered though time and space. Within the solar system and universe there are portals that take us to various dimensions. Here we entered through a portal that displayed the number 9. Was it just co-incidence or did we all just see the same thing? It was here that we were able to access our higherselves.

Each person either saw rainbow colours, shapes or even a figure of a light being
This time the higher self was connecting each person to an element of inner child. It was apparent that there was a need to access the child within to access the lesson for the higher teaching. Once the higher self had been accessed then the journey to the library of light, the Akashic Records is accessed. The detail of the persons in meditation was as though they were watching a science fiction movie. The powers that each one accessed and the memories from a former life to this one was found.

The Akashic records contain books for each persons soul journey. The book will have your name on the front. often embossed in Gold writing and bound in a dark brown or red cover. This is so you know that the book is yours. As you access the book together with the higher self you are able to read the book. Often you open the book and look at the current lifetime that you are working through. Each lifetime is a chapter in the book. The book of your soul journey has already been written. Its already happened, the past present and future are all one.
On this particular journey to the Akashic records we were able to access the life before this one. It was healthy to hear that it wasnt a group of famous celebraties of cleopatras or kings, but ordinary people , mainly from the 1820s- 1920s era. Interestingly each person connected to the era of 20s.
Ordinary lessons such as money, aloneness, study, defence and so forth. We also were shown parts of this lifetime and our reason for returning. As manyu of us are healers, intuitives and mediums in our own right it was interesting to see what the lesson was that we had come to experience. Much of it was about truth, sharing, teaching, love, and unconditional love.

We also receive soul names. Those who had connected to the higherself and Akashic records prior to this one had a deeper and stronger connection with much more detail. Some received writing in other languages and although they were unable to read the words, there was an inner knowing of what was written. Interestingly a couple of people saw their books written in Japanese. Could this be the reason that they had connected to the source of Reiki in this lifetime to be able to connect with the energy within their soul?
Soul names such as Jeshua, Alba, Livisha, Aneal, Cristiana, Kabi, Ashtar, Inca and Louisa were found. Once soul names are found the work begins in finding out what their universal meaning represents. These are Symbolic Whispers.
Whispers from the higher-self through the energies of guides or any other form that you personally feel a connection with. These were given and received. When we recieve evidence it is important to study and digest what has been given as well as understanding the corrolation between the words and the initial number nine that we started with.

Handfasting Ceremony Istan Lake Marbella Spain

Jason & Luis Wedding Ceremony in Istan from Andreas Holm on Vimeo.

The Handfasting of Jason Ritchie and Luis Alves 1st May 2009

Handfasting Ceremony- Beltane 1st May

Luis and I will be getting married in the old pagan way on Beltane in Istan on the 1st May 2009. Tieing the Knot derives from the tradition of "Handfasting". In olde Scotland, the poor who were unable to afford to marry, entered into "Handfasting" for 1 year and 1 day. Within that time period they would know whether they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together, or whether they wanted to part company. If they wanted to be together then within that time they would have saved enough money to afford a proper wedding.

We aim to be together longer than a year and a day. We are making a committment of love, presided over by a high priestess. Well known Irish Psychic and writer, Sandra Ramdhanie will be presiding our ceremony.

Our official signing for our marraige will be made in the court in June, where, in Spain it is seen equal to marraige of the usual kind. (Legal with same rights and opportunities).

Our handfasting is something where all who are attending have a part to play, bringing food to share, showing that weddings dont have to be too expensive and can be enjoyable as well as being a celebration of Love. We will be display the fotos and videos of the Handfasting Ceremony as well as providing a link to a website that will show the images of the day.

A visit to the Akashic Records

Last week I introduced you to the connection to the higherself.
This is an incredibly powerful place to be associated with.
There is limitless possibilities and an abundance of intuition that can be attained with this hightened sensitivity and connection.
Last week I took a group of students into a meditation where they were able to make the connection to the higher-self to reach the "Akashic Records"

What are the Akashic Records?

The word 'Akasha' comes from the Sanskrit word "kash" meaning 'to radiate or shine'.
It is also a term used throughout the various Traditions of Paganism to indicate the Fifth Element, sometimes called 'Spirit'.

Buddhism, Hinduism and Sufism see the "Akashic" as space, ether or the energy that permeates the Universe. Within the etheric plains of this universal space there lies profound knowledge for each individual that walks this earth. We all have recorded our lives in the "Akashic Records".
In many ways this can be described as an etheric library. Here lies the inner knowledge about all the lives we have lived before, living now and our future.
All aspects associated with our existance, lost cities and civilizations can be obtained from this etheric realm.

The interpretation of the Akashic Records was introduced to the West in the early 19th Century by Madame Helena P. Blavatsky, cofounder of the "Theosophical Society" who compared the "akasha" to other interpretations of the "universal life force" by occultists through the ages, such as the "quintessence", that "luminous fifth element" (invisible to ordinary sight) which was seen as binding together in union or pact the other four elements. According to Blavatsky the "akasha" forms the "Anima Anima Mundi" and constitutes the soul and animal spirit of mankind.

Akashan WitchCraft is a new tradition in WitchCraft, based on understanding and respect for all living things. Akashan Witches work with the Elements to create positive change on the Earth, and through a series of deep meditations elicit positive change in their own lives. Akashan WitchCraft is holistic and teaches the student how to maintain their own physical and mental wellbeing, through ritual, yoga, meditation, and dietary fine-tuning. Akashan Witches are expected to have the deepest commitment to their life path.


The Akasha is also commonly termed as the "Book of Life". Rudolf Steiner, for example, claimed to have consulted the Akashic Records for his descriptions of the mythical lost civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria. Edgar Cayce a well known seer and healer also claimed to have obtained knowledge from the Book of Life.


Before achieving the connection to the Akashic Records it is important to be relaxed, calm and at a place of peace. Entering into meditation into this sacred place can and does release karmic issues connected within this life paralel lives and past lives. I also recommend that a meditation of this kind is beneficial within a group senario or with a professional Medium/Healer that is able to assist you during and after the connection.

What I found incredibly facinating in the connection to the Akashic Records, were the individual experiences that we noted at the end of the Meditation. While in the meditation my Guide or higher-self introduced the individuals to a spiritual guardian of the Akashic Records. Here he told them that they each had a soul name as well as the name they were commonly known as in this lifetime. The soul name is a name that is attributed to the individual soul.

When each person returned from the meditation, experiences were shared as well as the name received. Co-incidence or not, personally I feel there is no such thing, however, the names found were strikingly similar. Many had the letter "A" as the first initial or it was repeated more than 3 times in the name.
For example the name "Kabi" was received by one person. On researching this name derives from India as a Hindi name or name deriving from Nepal.
The Bunya Tree also derives from the word "Kabi" and flourishes in abundance in the Andean Mountains. The Kabi Tribe also existed in Australia and were Ancestral Aboriginis who bore the Temple of the Sacred spiral. Bhanu Bhakta, a famous writer from Nepal became known as "adi Kabi" meaning "First true poet". As you can see by just receiving one word from the Akashic Records, one can receive a wealth of information. Only the soul will feel the energy associated with what is received. If there is a bonding, an inner knowing, then you can be sure that what you discover is part of who you are.
Another name that was received that night was "Agata" The derives from Greek meaning "Good or honorable". Saint Agatha (Agata) was from the 3rd Century, a christian who refused to marry a Roman Consol and was eventually martyred. She became the patron saint of bell ringers. Agate also derives from olde French Origin, meaning semi precious stone. It is said that this stone carries magical and curative powers.

I will cover more of our incredible findings. I would like to add that I feel it is imperretive that when you re receiving information from meditations, that you have received this information for a reason, therefore please research and find out origins and meanings. They are often reflective of what you are experiencing in your current life and are there to teach you a profound and enlightening lesson.
