How often have you said “that’s it, tomorrow I will start to exercise” and then gone off to bed, only to wake up in the morning and say “I’ll start tomorrow, today I just need to rest”?

Your physical well-being is essential to make the most of your emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. Yet how often do we put off to tomorrow what we need to do today?

While this can happen to the best of us, it doesn’t mean you should drop the ball altogether when it comes to staying fit. What people need to realize is that staying active and eating right are critical for long-term health and wellness on all levels — and that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The more you know about how your body responds to your lifestyle choices, the better you can customize a nutrition and exercise plan that is right for you. When you eat well, increase your level of physical activity, and exercise at the proper intensity, you are informing your body that you want to burn a substantial amount of fuel. This translates to burning fat more efficiently for energy. Energy we can use for work or play.

What’s in this newsletter: – After my introductory discussion about the work of Peter Andrews and our recommendation that you read his books, we have the inspirational quote for the month, a card reading – from ‘The Answer is Simple Oracle cards’ and the guest article What is ThetaHealing™? Plus other bits & pieces of interesting information and news.

Hello and welcome to another month with WhollyMetaphysical. We (Sue and I) have just finished reading ‘Back from the Brink’ and Beyond the Brink’ by the Australian author Peter Andrews. Peter is a real farmer who has spent his life studying and learning how to read landscapes, and more importantly how to return them to some of their former glory. In these books he points out how our Australian landscape and in particular our rural sector, is in diabolical trouble as a result of our (mis)use of the land and more importantly because we have divorced ourselves from Nature and the systems that have been in place for millennia.

Somewhere along the way we, as a collective, lost our way and we started fighting against nature, instead of working with her as we did in the past. We introduced industrial farming and monoculture and other systems in the arrogant belief that we could do a superior job to what Mother Nature had developed as a perfect system.

Aquamarine is a clear to opaque, light blue to light green variety of Beryl, which is a member of the Feldspar group. Legend says that it has its origin in the treasure chest of the mermaids. In ancient times sailors often carried it as a talisman to protect themselves from drowning and it is still reputed to be a lucky stone for sailors today.

Aquamarine is a divine and eternal colour that is in tune with water and its life-giving properties. Being attuned to the ocean it helps us to get in touch with the nature spirits of the sea. It promotes safe travel on water so it would be a good stone to take with you on a cruise.

The earliest recorded use of crystals for clear seeing, or clairvoyant, purposes, as well as healing purposes, date back to 10^th century Persia, where scrolls still exist that illustrate that the art of “scrying,” or “perceiving from a distance; a form of divination,” was used by practitioners of esoteric sciences. In addition, Agate, a micro-crystal variety of quartz, which is characterized by its fineness of grain and brightness of color, was found more than 3,000 years ago in what is now Italy.

Crystal gazing is extremely rich in its historical context; though we do not know the exact date or place where this practice originated, it is reasonable to say that crystal gazing in some form has been with mankind since antiquity.
