On Saturday 3rd, I went to the Mind, Body & Soul Exhibiton at Kensington Olympia; a marketplace of health, well-being, craft and spirituality.
I spent the whole day browsing and soaking in each therapy and way of life. There were lectures every hour that were free to attend and demonstrations up on the main stage. Unfortunately I didn't make it up to the meditation rooms but I did buy a meditation CD called 'Nature Angels', a wonderful flute and acoustic guitar based relaxation album themed around Elementals, Forests and Spring Awakening...the bird song takes me away deep into the countryside where I meet the Flower Faeries, dance with butterflies and talk to the animals...my cat seems to love it too. Whenever I put it on, he lays down and falls into a deep, peaceful sleep...
It must have been the theme of the day for me as I also purchased a book by Elemental expert Fiona Murray called 'Messages From Nature's Guardians'; an autobiographical book about how she came to discover her clauraudience (the ability to receive messages from spirits audibly or through thought form) and how she uses it to channel Elemental creatures such as Pixies and Woodland Guardians...it's absolutely magical.
With so many wonderful people to talk to and so much to see, I was overwhelmed. I tried to take it all in, there was so much great energy there that at some points my heart chakra was activated and I felt totally emotional. I met with an amazing medium named Jerold Donington; a spiritual artist that channels your spirit guides, your past lives, your karma or your passed over loved ones but sketches what he connects with, giving you the picture to keep. I had seen him at the Mind, Body & Spirit Festival in Victoria back in May and never had the courage to approach him. I had regretted it ever since but this time I booked a reading with him. It was a wonderful experience, he tuned in by placing his palms under mine; within minutes he was using chalk pastels to draw what he was channeling. I ended up with a beautful message and a meaningful picture that I can't stop looking at...I am eternally grateful to him for the healing connection he made for me.
