Treehugger - Hemp Houses For Australia

Posted by Viola Woolcott

I was reading an interesting article about researcher Klara Marosszeky and building hemp houses. Amazing what you can do with hemp really. Follow the link below to read the whole article.

Mixing hemp hurds (the pithy core of the stem) with a lime-based binder, plus water and a little sand, sets off a chemical reaction akin to petrification. The fibre becomes a mineral and sets like cement and can be moulded into robust building blocks. These are fire-retardant, pest proof and light, while still having the ability to ‘breath’- allowing the passage of moisture vapour… to read more click here: Hemp Houses For Australia

How can we become Lucky?

Posted by Viola Woolcott

We have all asked ourselves ‘what do we have to do to become lucky‘? And how come that some people just seem to be luckier than others? How can we become lucky?

Is it possible that ‘Good Luck’ is just about making ‘good’ use of all the opportunities that are presented to us?

There is no doubt in my mind that it is possible for all of us to create good luck in our life. And we have every chance that once we start to experience ‘good luck’, very often our good fortune just continuous and grows and the doors to ‘luck’ opens more and more.

By adopting a resilient attitude we can all transforms bad luck into good and we can replace bad luck with new opportunities.

Just remember that “Luck” is all about attitude!

Thomas Jefferson sums it all up:

I am a great believer in luck, and I find
the harder I work, the more I have.

Personal and Global Transformation | What are your intentions?

Posted by Viola Woolcott

There is much going on around the globe. The clock is ticking. Less than 5 years. We are heading for the year 2012.

What are your intentions for the rest of the year? Do you know what is that you want? Are you writing it all down? Do you live the life you were meant to live? And what about using your unique abilities? Investigate, discover and embrace your life purpose, your reason for being here. Are you ready to make a difference? A difference in your life? A difference in the world? Today? This year?

Have you considered meditating? I am sure that we have all heard or read about meditation. That meditating is a stress-reducer. That it makes one feel more connected. More focused and also happier. Meditate 10 minutes a day, listen to the silence for 365 days a year and you will experience the new you.

Should you feel restricted, limited in your life, it is of your own creation. It is up to you to break free. Once you recognise that in truth everything is possible, you have infinite possibilities! Don’t stop dreaming.

Be and behave responsible. Be kind. You are your own worst enemy. You are your best friend. You are your own boss. There is no reason why you can’t change your mind and watch everybody around you change too.

Who are you? Know that you are NOT your things. You are NOT your position. You are NOT your circle of friends. The real, authentic you is present in a place that is outside of space and time.

Let go of your fears. Fear is a shadow of yesterday. A mirage of the future. Only in the present moment, in the here and now all possibilities exist.

Remember: Freedom equals ‘No’ Fear! You are not living in the now, in the moment if you find yourself worrying, depressed or even totally unhappy. That means that you are not really grateful. Being grateful means being connected to life’s blessings. Happiness and abundance will follow once you let go.

We all know that Love can change anything. Love can move mountains. Love connects. Love is togetherness. Love is the end of separation. Love offers change and new life in each and every moment.

Homeopathy - Treat Like With Like

Posted by Viola Woolcott

Homeopathy is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world.

Homeopathic Remedies are based on a natural medical science (treat like with like) that works with your body to stimulate your own defenses.

Conventional drugs often cause side effects because they work by suppressing symptoms. Homeopathic Medicine relieves symptoms by helping to put your body’s systems into proper balance.

Homeopathic medicine supports the body’s own defenses, they do not cause side effects.

Homeopathy is extremely effective. When the correct remedy is taken, results can be rapid, complete and permanent.

Homeopathy is completely safe.

Babies and pregnant women can use Homeopathy without the danger of side effects.

Homeopathic remedies can also be taken alongside other medication without producing unwanted side effects.

Homeopathy is natural.

Homeopathic remedies are normally based on natural ingredients.

Homeopathy works in harmony with your immune system, unlike some conventional medicines which suppress the immune system. (For example, cough medicines suppress the cough reflex, which is your body’s attempt to clear the lungs).

Homeopathic remedies are not addictive - once relief is felt, you should stop taking them. If no relief is felt, you are probably taking the wrong homeopathic remedy.

Homeopathy is holistic. It treats all the symptoms as one, which in practical terms means that it addresses the cause, not the symptoms. This often means that symptoms tackled with Homeopathy do not recur.

Personal view:
Personally I have been using homeopathic remedies for over 25 years with fantastic results and I highly recommend that you inform yourself.

Responsibility versus Excuses

Posted by Viola Woolcott

Lets just think about success for a minute. We could all be successful on any major scale. All it requires is for us to accept responsibility.

No doubt, your life is what you make of it and of course, it will all come your way when you understand that YOU have to make it come your way.

As soon as you choose thoughts and actions things will start to happen. Nobody BUT you can do it for you. ONLY you can make things happen, as you are the only one that has to live your life.

The moment you take complete responsibility for yourself, the moment you stop making excuses for your actions, that’s the moment you start your journey to success.

We all have the power. The power to succeed at anything. The power to fulfil our life dreams is within all of us.

Confident or Arrogant - What are you?

Posted by Viola Woolcott

Self-confidence is an attitude. It allows us to have positive, realistic views of ourselves as well as situations that involve us. No matter what happens, self-confidence shows that we have control over our lives and our abilities. That we are able to do what we set our minds to with a positive outcome.

But that doesn’t mean that self-confident people always expect to be able to do everything alone or even do everything correctly. They are aware of when they need help and they are more than willing to recognise it.

Even if you are confident, that doesn’t always mean that you are confident in every aspect of your life. Maybe you are self-confident at home, but not at work. During one situation, but not at another. We all have different areas in our life’s where we feel more confident.

How about speaking in public? You may be, but what about when it’s time to play sports? How about with people you know? Or with people you don‘t know? Do you feel insecure? Or maybe even lonely?

There are lots of people out there who generalise and think that if they are unable to do a particular thing, that they lack self-confidence. But isn’t self-confidence or lack of it context-specific?

Have you ever thought about examining different areas of your life to work out how confident you are in each area?

Lets say you use a 1 to 10 scale. Would you say that you may be a 6, which I would class as somewhat confident, in knowing that you attract and manifest success in your life? How about knowing that you are a beautiful person. 1 would mean no confidence at all. Or how about knowing you are a 10 in public speaking. That would mean you are very confident.

Isn’t it natural to feel uneasy about situations you don’t have total control over? Or if you don’t know much about a certain subject? There are these people who think they know all the answers. Who think that they can solve anything. Who think that they can control everything. These people are all else but confident. They are arrogant, as confidence does not exclude modesty and respectfulness..

Stop wasting time!

Posted by Viola Woolcott

Don’t we all spend time hoping, wishing, planning and scheming for our lives to be different to what we already have? We use countless hours creating situations and events to the once we already have, ending up missing the life right in front of our eyes.

We all know that there is always room for improvement when it comes down to being happy. And to manifest our dreams easily we have to have the right vibration. Therefore it is absolutely vital to love your life and yourself exactly as you are. One of the greatest secrets to manifest what you want is loving whatever is right there in your life today, at this moment in time. As it is the love you let in right now for what you already have, for what is already happening that sends out positive vibrations into the Universe and this is what you attract more of into your life. Resisting in fact means that you are resisting the universe, that means you will attract more of the situations you resist.

At the core of your being you are love itself! Your soul already is love and is in love with what is. Open yourself up. Start to realise that the challenges you are facing are precisely what your soul needs to go deeper into this precious love.

Accept what is - Love what is. I promise you, that is a whole lot easier than resisting what is.

Evolution of Your Soul - A Lifetime Process

Posted by Viola Woolcott

Don’t think it is a quick fix, as it is not. Neither is it a five day workshop. It is rather a lifetime process where we let go - discover… let it happen, allow for futures to come into existence.

By connecting to your soul, to your collective heart and by both being in agreement, you become congruent with your deepest values and your life mission. Only than do we allow for the realities which have and are always available to us to unfold. I am sure that we have ALL heard, “love is the answer“ before. No doubt, it is, but it isn’t just the loving of your good self, of your good qualities. True love is when you reconnect and experience the love by embracing your dark impulses and your imperfections, your mistakes and your heartache. Than you know what true love is.

Wouldn’t it be nice to find new ways to inspire others day after day?

= how about supporting others to go on this lifelong journey to clean up their past.
= inspire others to learn how to forgive themselves for their flaws and shortcomings
= show them how to make peace with their humanity
= open up to their divinity
= encourage others to allow themselves to be guided by a power greater than themselves

The values that each of us can reclaim as part of this process are:

* Congruence
* Integration
* Responsibility
* Integrity

In order to heal all of our wounds, we need to listen to the voices within ourselves, as they supply all of the answers that we need. Answers that transcend our limitations. Answers to overcome our obstacles or challenges. Answers to see where our soul is longing to go to. And in order to connect with these voices within we have to go beyond our minds for direction.

what the ego created and the soul inspired
the human and the divine
the false and the true self

The Law of Vibration - Be Careful What You Wish For

Posted by Viola Woolcott

We all have long known that Science and Metaphysics are in agreement. The essence of all things is vibration. By many, The Law of Vibration is understood as something that is beyond simple comprehension. For the “average” person it is far to complicated to understand and conceive.

The Law of Vibration accounts for the difference between mind and matter and the physical and the non-physical worlds.

The Law of Vibration says that everything in the universe, whether solid, liquid or gas form is energy and it is in a constant state of vibration.

I am sure that most of us know that:

If you want love - give it way.
If you want respect - give it away.
If you want honesty - give it away.
If you want cooperation - give it away.
If you want money - give it away.
If you want control - give it away!

It is in the same way you give things away, they will return to you. It is very important that you are a close observer of your thoughts and that the thoughts you think and the words that you use to describe people, or if they hear you directly or not. That is how you create the primary vibration of your being. This fundamental vibration then creates resonance with identical vibration frequencies in the universe. The outcome is an attraction of circumstances, challenges, opportunities and people. It is the Law of Vibration, “What it is we think and speak about, comes about”, as our thoughts and words are inseparably connected to the rest of the universe.

Give away what it is that you want and it will come back to you. This is the most powerful strategy. Get in touch with the energy of what you are putting out there and do it with the attitude of what it is that you want.

You do not have to do anything. Don’t worry about how it will happen. Do your part and let the universe do the rest through the law of vibration.

“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.” ~ Kahlil Gibran
