Great reasons for retreating in New Mexico!

I am offering a women’s retreat in a most wonderful place called the Ghost Ranch in New Mexico.  It is the perfect setting for a spiritual retreat. If you are wondering how you can improve your life so you can create your dreams, reduce your stress and find inner peace, the Peaceful Path Women’s Retreat will assist you. Self care is a necessity and the time is now to step forward to be nurtured, inspired and experience a peaceful way.

Here are some great reasons for joining the retreat!

Reason #1 – Caring About Yourself

The better you are feeling – emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually – the better your life will unfold and all around you will benefit from your transformation.

Reason #2 – Making the Inner Connection to your Core Self

 In our busy world, we seldom take time to quiet our mind, our body and our heart to our true Self within. It is within each of us that we find peace, love and truth. Find ways to reconnect with the real you.

Reason #3 – Allowing yourself to feel lighter.

Can you imagine a few days where you can relax and let go of your problems? You may find a new view, a new way, where your anxieties are released and you actually feel physically and emotionally lighter.

Reason # 4- Experiencing unity with nature

This retreat will show how deeply we are connected with nature and all life. You can enjoy quiet solitude on beautiful walking trails and majestic mountain scenery. You will feel a sense of oneness and peace.

Reason #5- Expanding your spiritual awareness and intuition

 Women are naturally intuitive and can understand one another without saying a word.  The retreat creates an awareness and remembrance of our intuitive self as we allow it to guide us in a trusting way.

Reason #6- Experience inner peace through meditation

During the retreat, we will have guided meditation to great a deep feeling of relaxation and inner peace. You will also have time for solitude and meditation on your own. There are many wonderful spots that you may find for meditation or enjoy the peace of walking the labyrinth.

Reason #7- Laugh and renew the spirit of your inner child

When women gather at a retreat there is always lots of laughter to lighten our spirits and open our hearts. Whether it is while we share a meal or a workshop or gather at the fireside, it is always fun to share and allow our inner child to come out to play.

Reason # 8- De-stress, Rest and Relax

Taking time at a retreat to de-stress,  rest and relax is something we do not do very often at home. Curl up with a good book or listen to music or even take a well deserved nap! The retreat provides free time for you to choose how you want to spend it.

Reason # 9- Opening to new ideas

 Each retreat is about creating the ‘whole’ you so you can expand your perceptions and create the life you really want. Creativity seems to flow naturally at a retreat as new ideas and expressions of thoughts flow when we are in a environment that is supportive and understanding our challenges and encouraging our visions.

Reason #10 -A sense of community

 As we gather at a retreat, a supportive community seems to form in just a short time. We take away this sense of community and know that friendships have formed that can continue after the retreat is over.

 As the retreat closes, you will know that you have made a connection…created a new path… and a lasting memory of a special time.

Love made visible

“You are love made visible”

By Maxine Noel

Thank you for being you…unique, wonderful, compassionate, questing, and wondrous! 

Enjoy Because We Believe – Love this song.

The powerful and dramatic song from the closing ceremonies of the 2006 Winter Olympic Games as performed by Andrea Bocelli.

Thank you for your presence in my life.

Everything you do affects everyone else.  Your loving Essence shines brightly when you share your smile, love and creative talents.

Once we realize the power of love, our lives change forever and we begin to shine our Light and to serve others and our love is made visible!

Love and peace,

I received an e-mail today from James Twyman who is founder of the Beloved Community, a peace organization.  I hope you will take time to listen to this heartfelt song that John Denver wrote but never recorded.

The last song John Denver wrote,

but never had the chance to record:

The Wandering Soul

Dear Friends…

Several years ago a friend of John’s shared an amazing song with me. The Wandering Soul, she said, was the last song John Denver wrote, but he died before he could record it. I was immediately moved, not just because it was significant that he never had the chance to share the song, but because it was one of the best, most spiritual songs he ever wrote. It has taken me almost seven years to release The Wandering Soul, but the time has come. I’m sharing it now through a music video I recorded, and I hope you’ll pass it on to everyone you know. It’s a powerful way to honor John and the contributions he has made to the planet. My goal is for hundreds of thousands of people to see this video and hear the song, but that will only happen IF YOU PASS IT ON. Give it a listen, and open your heart.

 I hope you enjoyed this video.  Please share it with others,

Peacefully, Jane

A Rainbow of Feelings

I’ve loved rainbows all my life.  Each time I see one they fill me with awe and wonder.  To many they are the promise of hope and better things to come. To others a symbol of peace, harmony and unity of all peoples.

A Rainbow of Feelings

“The spectrum glows across the sky

With a rainbow of feelings

A blending of thoughts and emotions

Spreading its loving energies

In an arc of pastels

A symbol of hope and love

With rainbow warriors of love

Dancing in the shinning droplets

Cleansing our thoughts

Healing our hearts

Guiding us home

To harmony and peace.”

By Jane Rosalea Booth

Jamie Sams writes about the Whirling Rainbow in her Sacred Path Cards.  She says the vision of world peace has been held for centuries.

This vision of peace is coming alive now in all our hearts, one by one, we are awakening this energy known as the “Whirling Rainbow’.  We can allow this energy to transform into our lives and assist humanity to unite in peace.

For your meditation today, visualize a beautiful rainbow of peace.  All the colours have vibrations that resonate with your body, mind and soul so you may evolve,  heal and feel loved.  See yourself melding with the rainbow and allow the colourful energy to follow through and around you…embracing you, loving you…feel the peace within your heart.  You are this rainbow of peace…be in harmony and unity with all life.

If you have any pictures of rainbows you’d like to share, please post them in the comments section.

Peacefully,

Jane

Wondering Why You Should Meditate?

  Wondering Why You Should Meditate?

 This journey we call life is all about each of finding our truth. If you are ready to discover your own truth, to feel inner peace and experience a deep connection with God, then meditation is for you. Through meditation, we learn to contact our inner wisdom by quieting our bodies, feelings and thoughts. It is only when we quiet these activities of our personality that our real authentic self, our soul, can surface. Then we receive clarity and truth and know how to proceed in a more loving and compassionate way.

 Meditation is a personal experience. In my Peaceful Path workshops, I lead guided meditations and each person has their own visions and wisdom that arise from their meditation. Meditation is a technique that has been used through the ages to assist one to connect deeply with our spiritual self. Only you will able to interrupt what you feel and receive during a meditation.

 Our world is moving so quickly. Technology is changing so rapidly that electronics are almost obsolete by the time they reach the store shelves. The need for us to be able to find our way through life with a minimum stress starts with inner peace and harmonious relating with others. Meditation assists us to experience our inner peace within and then we can share it with others.

 Each time you meditate you are experiencing a sacred soul journey. Meditation is where your body, mind and soul meet the sacred. It is a journey of letting go your fears and anxieties and allowing yourself to discover, in silence, the peaceful silence within. It is in this peaceful silence that you begin to feel peace and tranquility and to experience the oneness of all life.

What will you discover about yourself today that you never realized before your meditation today?

 Learn how to meditation, inner peace and creating the life you want in my book, In Silence, Discovering Self through Meditation.  Many people have told me that this book has transformed their lives and they use daily for inspiration. Take the step to make the changes you need to transform and evolve into all you can be!  Order today.

Peace and light,

Jane

Here is Soluntra King – www.evenstarcreations.com regarding the Full Moon Monday, January 9th.  Visit her website for more ‘cosmic’ events in 2012.

LATEST COSMIC EVENTS

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

FULL MOON IN CANCER 18.25  degrees 
JANUARY 9^th   NZ 8.30pm    AUST EST 6.30pm     GMT 7.30am

 

The Moon will be directly opposite the Earth from the Sun and will be fully illuminated as seen from Earth.

The Full Moon is a time of completion and celebration, in Cancer we have the Goddess, the nurturing, loving, caring energy polarised by the Capricorn practicality and Earth. This polarizing energy actually activates the DNA from within the water of the cells and the crystalline structures that hold the divine codes, so use sound, mandalas, intention, visualization and inner work to activate your DNA.  

This is a beautiful Moon to see over the sea, lake or water, celebrating our abundance and earthly bounty. 

Also time to be aware of the relationships you have with others on a personal and group level and see if they still are relevant to your being. The days of having  time for co-dependent relationships is over, and we have choices of where we put our energy as we are illuminated with light that shines on all the webs and games to be embraced now in love and acceptance, and so transcended.

Please see my extracts from books LIGHT CODE ACTIVATIONS and HANDBOOK OF RA on relevant information.
MAYAN CALENDAR DAY; 8 (harmonize, empowerment, integrity, of the one heart) RED (East – electrifies, initiates) CANE  – BEN (time/space traveller, skywalker, angelic messenger, new directions)

JANUARY 11^th
20 YEARS SINCE THE 11:11 DOORWAY OPENED ON 11.1.1992
after the big 11 11 11 doorway opened and we have literally moved through into a whole new way of being,
     into freedom and joy of the light within, there is celebration for the transformations that have taken place within our being through all our hard work and dedication and all the loving service we have done on the physical plane and inner planes to assist others, humanity and in the bigger picture. Your over soul; unified higher self/lower self with all those in your over soul has reached a point of clarity and abundance of love and openness, awareness and light.

On this day see if you can sing and dance with those of your soul family on the outer and inner planes as we come together in oneness. The unity we hold takes us to the next level of our mission on Earth.
In these days also be open to receiving the Diamond Light Matrixacceleration in your body and cells, energy field, chakras and kundalini for awakened expansion of your light body.
MAYAN CALENDAR DAY; 10 (manifestation, true essence self, intention, motivation) BLUE (West – energise, transforms) EAGLE – MEN (vision, hope, compassionate service, expanded consciousness)

Thanks Soluntra for your insights.  Always interesting and thought provoking

Enjoy the full moon tonight by stating your intentions to assist the manifestation of your dreams.  Allow your true Essence Self to bloom.

Peacefully, Jane

Peaceful Path Tip – In the Stillness

As I meditated this morning I knew that in my stillness “all is well”.

“Whistling through the tall pines

The four winds how with cheer

Whispering their song in your ear

The harps play out as dancers twirl

The trumpets soun as angels sing

“All is well”

“All is well”

From In Silence, Discovering Self through Meditation, by Jane Rosalea Booth

Peacefully,

Jane

“I know now as men accept the time clock of the wilderness, their lives become entirely different. It is one of the great compensations of primitive experience, and when one finally reaches the point where days are governed by daylight and dark…where one eats if hungry and sleeps when tired… when one finally arrives at the point where schedules are forgotten… and becomes completely immersed in the ancient rhythms, then one begins to live.”

Sigurd F. Olson, a man who truly understood the call of the wilderness…

Peacefully, Jane

Our Intimate Connection to Nature

In nature, we experience a connection that unites us to all life.  When I sit beside the lake or wander through the woods, I am witness to all the beauty around me.  I know without a doubt that I am connected to something so wondrous, so loving and mystical that is beyond my comprehension. Yet, I can feel ‘it’ in nature.  I listen to the sounds around me.  I smell the aromas of the forest or beach or waterfall and I connect.  This connection stays with me and guides me each day.  It guides to a deep place of peace within me as I enter the silence of my meditation.  It surrounds me as I venture into my daily life reminding me that as I am connected to all in nature, so am I connected to all life in my work, home and community.  All is united.  There is no separation.  Being in nature where there is stillness, peace and beauty…there is no doubt about this unity, this oneness that we are.

Here are some wonderful quotes that I love.

“And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy of elevated thoughts;
a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean, and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the Mind of man;
A motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things.”
-   William Wordsworth, Tintern Abbey

 “The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God.  Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.  As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.
-  Diary of Anne Frank

 

“In wilderness people can find the silence and the solitude and the noncivilized surroundings that can connect them once again to their evolutionary heritage, and through an experience of the eternal mystery, can give them a sense of the sacredness of all creation.“
-   Sigurd Olson (1899-1982)

I called my book “In Silence, Discovering Self through Meditation” as I believe we need to enter into silence to experience our spiritual connection and true being.  Here is another quote from Sigurd Olson.

The sun was trembling now on the edge of the ridge. It was alive, almost fluid and pulsating, and as I watched it sink I thought that I could feel the earth turning from it, actually feel its rotation. Over all was the silence of the wilderness, that sense of oneness which comes only when there are no distracting sights or sounds, when we listen with inward ears and see with inward eyes, when we feel and are aware with our entire beings rather than our senses. I thought as I sat there of the ancient admonition “Be still and know that I am God,” and knew that without stillness there can be no knowing, without divorcement from outside influences man cannot know what spirit means. - Sigurd Olson, The Singing Wilderness

I look forward to experiencing a deep connection with Mother Earth and the beauty of the wilderness of New Mexico in May.  Join me for my Peaceful Path Women’s Retreat, May 14-20th, 2012

Peace and love,

Jane
