April 2009
What's New this Month!
Soul Sessions: Do you want a Session face to face or by phone?
Now taking appointments for Sessions via Skype or Landline!
I am now taking appointments for Skype Video and Skype Phone Sessions! The first available is in June. When you book I will email you to schedule a suitable time. Skype is easy to download and free to use, just go to www.skype.com. If you don’t have a computer at home, we can alternatively schedule a landline phone session (I will call you at our appointment time).
I am also still doing Email Sessions, where you get a huge download of written information, and of course the opportunity to ask follow up questions. The wait time is usually around 1-2 weeks.
Please note, Soul Sessions are not designed to tell you what’s going to happen in the future. You create your reality as you go. The purpose of Soul Sessions is to empower you with information about your energy, coming from your guides and higher self, guiding you to the creation of your best possible self and reality. It can reveal and thus give you the opportunity to clear subconscious blocks that have been preventing you from living the life of your dreams and give deep, practical insights into your health, relationships, work, finances and other aspects of your life path. Soul Sessions are for those who want to consciously create their best possible life in alignment with who they really are.

April 2009 Monthly Visions: This ‘Crisis’ can be a Good thing.
Did you know that the Chinese symbol for crisis also means opportunity, or a crucial point when something begins or changes?
When I went to write this month’s Monthly Visions I struggled for a few minutes, wondering how to approach the topic of this month in the most sensitive manner possible. I know many people are going through a hard time right now, yet I also know there is potential here for personal and global transformation unlike anything we have seen before...Read rest here: http://danamrkich.blogspot.com/2009/04/april-monthly-visions-this-crisis-can.html
Listen to your Inner-Tuition – My new article in the current issue of Empower Magazine
My article ‘Listen to your Inner-Tuition’ is in the April/May issue of Empower Magazine, now available in all Australian newsagencies. EM is also available online as an Emag (you have to subscribe) but it is worth every cent: www.empoweronline.com.au
In this article I talk about my first humorous experience with a GPS, and joke how great it would be if we all had an inner GPS, telling us which way to go and which path to take. I realised that of course we do, only we call it our intuition. Read how to access this amazing navigational tool, the most accurate guidance system you will ever find and the only one you truly need.
My Current Thoughts On Obama’s role in these Changing Times
I know many of you don’t like to mix politics with spirituality, yet as our personal consciousness is creating the global consciousness, and as our global consciousness influences our personal, I feel we can no longer seperate the two. For those who want to dive in, read here: http://danamrkich.blogspot.com/2009/04/obamas-role-in-these-changing-times.html

Obama's Role in these Changing Times
Obama's Role in these Changing Times
Going by a few of the emails I've received, people are getting frustrated at Obama and his government for not fixing things fast enough, for not making our waters smooth again right now so we can get back to our normal lives. Well, as the movie says “We’re not in Kansas anymore Toto.” Enough of the masses collectively decided “We want change, we want a new reality. We are tired of how things have been.” So, the ship has sailed and I believe, is heading in the direction of creating a new reality for us all. But this isn’t going to happen overnight.
I don’t think it is Obama’s role to magically make the waves that are synonymous with great change disappear. Buckle your seats, because the sea IS going to get more stormy. This is how it always is as the Earth moves from one cycle to another. We can’t override nature and cyclic destiny, nor can Obama necessarily halt the process of labour (nor is it meant to halt). I do think it is his role to hold the ship as steady as possible, and while some of you reading this may not agree he is doing a good job, please remember this is a HUGE job! Also, I feel it is his destined job and when you are born to do something, you have inside you all you need to do it well.
I feel he can’t do this alone, and now more than ever we all have to play our part and sway in the direction in which we want to go to help the ship during its passage. Focus on the positive, focus on how you want your personal, and our collective, story to look in the years to come. Don’t try and hold on to what was – it is falling for a reason. Look ahead to the creation of something better.
Together we are birthing a new world, and birth is never an easy process – but it is one of the most amazing transformational experiences someone can go through. It is a blessing to be on Earth during these times of great change.

April Monthly Visions: This 'Crisis' can be a Good thing
April 2009: This ‘Crisis’ can be a Good thing.
Did you know that the Chinese symbol for crisis also means opportunity, or a crucial point when something begins or changes?
When I went to write this month’s Monthly Visions I struggled for a few minutes, wondering how to approach the topic of this month in the most sensitive manner possible. I know many people are going through a hard time right now, yet I also know there is potential here for personal and global transformation unlike anything we have seen before. I think the opening sentence captures what I want to say perfectly.
I have always had a vision of these times, ever since I was a little girl. I remember looking around and wondering why the reality I saw around me – of people going to jobs they hated, countries at war with each other, companies polluting the Earth and getting away with it – was so readily accepted. I was particularly confused by the visions I saw of a completely different world, one in which we all lived in harmony with each other and with our planet. One in which people did what they loved to do every day, and created all the abundance they needed. A world in which we honoured creativity, diversity and peace.
For a long time I didn’t know whether these visions were memories of a past life, or premonitions of a future way of being. As I got older my knowing strengthened, and I knew (without knowing how I knew) that it was the latter. We were here, this time, this life, to create a new Earth, with new ways of being. I knew this with every bone in my body, and couldn’t be convinced otherwise. When people said to me “Not in this lifetime” I replied “Yes in this lifetime. Look around. Our environment, our political and corporate structures, our media, our humanity, cannot keep going the way we are going. They are not sustainable. We either have to change or it will all eventually collapse.” Again people argued that yes this change might happen, but not in our lifetime. Again I argued, “It has to be in our lifetime. The world cannot sustain this for too many more years.”
During my 20’s I came across the Mayan and Hopi prophecies about 2012 and they matched everything I knew without knowing how I knew. The prophecies speak of ‘the end of times’ when one cycle ends in preparation for another. Death and rebirth is a natural occurrence, we experience it every year with a new year, we experience it as we change jobs and relationships. It is not a bad thing, it is a positive thing. The only scary thing about change, usually, is the outcome is often unknown and as humans we have a fear of the unknown. So we tend to cling to our old realities for dear life, even if we have outgrown them, even if we know they are no longer good for us or healthy for us or serving us, even if we know the new is probably better, still we resist, still we are afraid: what if I let go and there is nothing there waiting for me?
No-one knows for sure what this new cycle will bring, but my feeling is this: that we are coming to a turning point, a fork in the road. We either keep going the way we have been, clinging to unsustainable forms of living, treating the Earth and our fellow inhabitants in the worst possible ways just to keep our unsustainable economic systems standing, and thus eventually cause the collapse of everything around us. Or, we change. We create new ways of being, we start treating the Earth and our fellow humans in a respectful way, we create new economic systems built on strong, ethical, socially and environmentally conscious foundations. We need systems that help raise people up, not keep them crushed down. In short, we need to move from a way of being that must look to more evolved planets like insanity, to a way of being that is worthy of who we all really are as individuals.
I think the date 2012 was given to us as a gift, so that when the time came we would know what was going on. So that we knew, okay this is not a time to panic, it is a time to get to work. It is not a time to cry and blame and get angry and try to desperately fix the falling old reality. It is a time to get up and get passionate and stick up your hand to say “Yes, I am ready to help build the new reality! Where do I start?”
Everywhere you look you see change now. Yet the kind of change you see will depend on your perspective. If you are fixated on the old reality, yes you will see chaos and people losing jobs and a media that tells you second by second how bad things are. Yet if your eyes are pinned on the new reality emerging, you will see people awakening, humanity becoming more and more conscious every day, a growing urgency to take care of the environment, an increasing intolerance for war as a way to solve problems, and thousands of positive media channels and teachers that are there to inspire you to step into your best self and create your best life.
You will see stories like the one I saw on television recently about the former banker who now drives a taxi cab in New York and LOVES it – he says it’s way more fun and less stressful than his former job. He feels relieved and released by his retrenchment, and he’s still making good money. You will read stories like the one I read in a magazine about a woman who lost her home due to foreclosure and is now so happy in her new home that she is renting for way less money a month. She was able to get something bigger with a huge backyard for her children, in a better location, without the stress of a high mortgage. She feels free and secure, and is able to relax into spending more time with her kids. Yes, it is only perspective that turns crisis into opportunity.
People are worried because these times are so turbulent. Guess what? They were never meant to be smooth! You cannot cross from one reality to another without a few waves. Our Earth and humanity is in the process of labour, birthing a new world. Ask any woman who has had a baby what this feels like! Yet those of us in the Western world aren’t taught to honour natural cycles like birth, death and rebirth. We get scared of them, and try to stop them or turn them into medical events. We call them ‘crises’ and we forget they are opportunities.
Have you ever renovated your house or even done a huge garage or attic clean up? What happens as you go from one step to the other? As you demolish your kitchen to put in a new one? As you throw out old, useless things to create a brand new light-filled space? Mess? Frustration? Yes! But when you’re done, wow, doesn’t it look great! Change isn’t always pretty, but that doesn’t mean it’s a negative thing. Quite to the contrary, it can be and usually is a good thing.
I have just spent some time in Guatemala and while there I was fortunate enough to participate in a Mayan Equinox Ceremony conducted by Mayan elder and priest Don Rigoberto. It was an amazing day organised by Spiritual Archeologist and author of Mayan Astrology Aluna Joy Yaxk’in who was down there with one of her regular tours (go to www.alunajoy.com for more info). I asked Don Rigoberto what the Maya had to say about the changing times and 2012. Don Rigoberto feels that all the indigenous nations need to come together with their various prophecies, so that we can get a more fuller understanding of what we might expect from these times. He agreed that the degree to which humanity can wake up in time, and the greater we all increase our levels of consciousness, will determine the way in which we move through our passage, (with grace or resistance) and what kind of reality awaits us on the other side. Don Rigoberto said that the best thing we can do is keep on our spiritual path through meditation, prayer and always doing things from the heart.
So, keep your eyes focused on where you want to go, on how you want your personal, and our collective, reality to look. Look at things from a different perspective, seeing the opportunity, seeing the positive. Above all, know that this change is a good thing. It’s not an easy process, but one way or other with grace we will get through it, and we will be something different, something better.
