Joginder is a Director of Tree of Life and the Co-Editor of Tree of Life Magazine. He gives talks and run workshops on self-empowerment.

In the Spring of 1995 I read Louise Hay’s book ‘You Can Heal Your Life’. At the time I was living in London, working as a trainee solicitor in a large international law firm. I was deeply unhappy with my job. I can remember sitting in my big office one day, saying to myself ‘I should be happy now, I’ve achieved the dream job I always wanted’. But I hated it! I couldn’t wait until 5.30pm each day and lived for my weekends. My personal life was also very unsatisfying - I was 25-year-old-virgin and had never had a girlfriend.

I can remember loving Louise Hay’s book as soon as I started reading it and very quickly read the whole book from cover to cover. I used her ‘I love and approve of myself’ affirmations and my life got better. This inspired me to read more self-help books – and very soon I had a large collection! Susan Jeffers, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Scott Peck, Dan Millman and many others. I also created an audio books collection which I could listen to on my walkman on the way to work and back! And life kept getting better & better – it was working. I healed myself enough to open up to relationships and had my first girlfriend in the summer of 1995!

Thankfully the law firm I was working for fired me in the September of that year and released me from my misery. I decided to take some time out then and go travelling around India. I came back re-freshed and renewed in 1996 and found a job in a law firm in Birmingham.

The new job was stressful and I was working 12 hours a day trying to impress my new boss. Reading the books and listening to the audios wasn’t helping me so much now and I knew I had to do something new to change things. In October of 1997 I went on my first personal development whole weekend seminar experience. It was one of the most powerful weekends of my life and a turning-point. I felt so supported during that weekend experience by everyone else on the course that I was able to make many big positive changes. Things that had been stuck for years finally shifted. I can remember coming back on Monday from the weekend and having the courage to stand-up to my boss and tell him that I wasn’t going to work the long hours anymore! This was something that I won’t have dreamed of doing before.

The key to the breakthrough for me in that weekend was support – I wasn’t alone any more

on my journey. I had finally come out of the cave of ‘I want to do it all by myself’ and was allowing others in to help me.

I then went on to attend many more different weekend workshops in London. They were wonderful experiences but most of the people I met at the workshops lived in London or other parts of the country and so the connection I could have with them after the event was limited.

In 2005, after the break-up of my first relationship, I can remember saying to myself that I wanted to meet people locally in Birmingham who were into personal development. I joined a local A Course in Miracles study group and attended the weekly 5 Rhythm’s dance classes in Moseley Village and very soon had a wonderful new circle of like-minded friends. One of them even lived on the next street to mine and we had never met before. God has a great sense of humour!

There was one big difference between the people I was meeting now and the people I had met on the seminars in London – they lived nearby! The friendship, support and community were not just for a weekend but were long term. This was a very different experience. And from this local conscious community I met my wife-to-be, Markéta and together we met Maggy Whitehouse and took over the Tree of Life in 2008 - which has now grown into a vibrant conscious community here in the heart of the midlands.

From my own life, I can see that on my own I can only go so far. But with the support and encouragement of like-minded people my self-awareness grows dramatically. When we gather together to support and help each other there is a magic – a co-creative alchemy that comes through. There is a strength that we all feel – that uplifts everyone. With people cheering us on we can go much further. With friends you can turn to for support you can reach much higher.

Conscious community is the womb out of which we can all birth our true authentic selves. Where we can transform our awareness together. There are many things we experience when we consciously gather together in this way:

- We no longer feel alone - The spiritual journey can be a lonely one if you don’t have any like-minded people in your family, workplace or circle of friends.

- We raise our own self-awareness – We can’t see ourselves – we can’t see our own blindspots. We are just too close – but other people can. They can be the eyes – the mirrors – through which we see ourselves.

- We heal each other – By giving and receiving unconditional love and support to each other we are able to heal ourselves. We hold each other accountable and experience our true interconnectedness.

- We are supported – On our own we can only go so far. But with encouragement from people who believe in us we can go much further.

- We continue to grow – Life is a continuous journey of self-discovery and growth. There is always more to learn. We all have so much wisdom and can be teachers and students for each other.

- We discover our true selves – Through the conversations we have with like-minded people we discover ourselves – who we really are. Our authentic selves – free of the conditioning of the past. And in this place we birth new dreams and make a real difference in the world.

The first Tree of Life Transformational Experience Weekend will be 29 June – 1 July and we are also launching community open mic nights starting on 11 April (see page opposite for details of both.) Joginder will also be speaking at the Tree of Life Festival on 14 April on how to Discover & Live Your Life Purpose (see p19).

HOPE - Healing Our People & Earth: 2012 and Beyond

Dr Jude Currivan PhD is a cosmologist and previously the most senior businesswoman in Britain. She now works world-wide as a planetary healer, internationally acclaimed and award-winning author and inspirational speaker. Jude has researched the nature of consciousness since childhood, holds a PhD in Archaeology from the University of Reading researching ancient cosmologies and a Masters Degree in Physics from Oxford University specialising in cosmology and quantum physics. From the age of four she has experienced multidimensional realities and guidance. She has journeyed to nearly 70 countries, worked with a multitude of wisdom keepers from many traditions and led many sacred journeys worldwide. She is the award-winning author of The Wave, The 8th Chakra, The 13th Step, CosMos co-authored with Dr Ervin Laszlo and most recently HOPE - Healing Our People & Earth. She was presented with the 2010 CIRCLE award for Business and Science by Won Buddhism International and sponsored by the United Nations, cited for her ‘outstanding contribution towards planetary healing and expanding new forms of consciousness.’ www.judecurrivan.com

So, what’s going to happen in 2012?Or‘What’s going to happen after 2012?

As the notion of 2012 being somehow important began to become more widely known over the last few years and with a great deal of confusion around its significance, I’ve been asked these questions numerous times.

Until recently, I’ve tended to answer both questions something along the lines that whilst I believe we are in a transformational time, I don’t know what the transition of 2012 will entail or what it may lead to, but that whatever it is depends on the choices and decisions we make now.

I started to speak about the implications of our choices ‘now’ as far back as 2003 or thereabouts when I was undertaking a series of thirteen global pilgrimages to serve the activation of Gaia’s planetary grid and to support our collective evolution of awareness that I then wrote about in The 13th Step. These transformational journeys helped me realise our profound inter-connection with each other, Gaia and the wider Cosmos and

how powerfully our collective choices really do co-create our realities.

I’ve observed and experienced in the eight years or more since, how the cosmic energies that I believe are the bigger unseen aspect of what’s come to be called the Shift have been ramping up the scale of the implications of our choices – and directly mirroring back to us their consequences.

The holographic nature of our realities means that the same issues we play out on personal levels, we also experience on familial, national and collective scales. As I’ve written about in The 8th Chakra the past traumas that we still embody, such as the archetypes of abandonment, abuse, betrayal, denial and rejection give rise consciously and subconsciously to our fear-based behaviour patterns.

During these years and having journeyed to nearly 70 countries around the world, I’ve seen how when our choices are made from such fear how they’ve dramatically worsened our collective social, economic and environmental situation. Whereas when we’ve had the courage to make our choices based on love, amazingly positive and transformational changes have occurred.

If we’re going to undertake the Shift of awareness that cosmic influences and spiritual guidance is facilitating for 2012 and beyond, we urgently need to heal from within our fear-based behaviours and the causal traumas from which they arise and transform our choices into being based on love.

The Mayan Elders whose ancestors devised the 5125 year-old calendar that ends on the December Solstice of 2012 concur. They see this time as the end of an unsustainable era of fear-driven greed and abuse of both people and planet and the possibility of a new era of love-based peace and justice. Crucially, they also say that “the choice is up to us.”

By that they mean everyone!

The Shift is empowering us to really wake up and see the unfairness and unsustainability of the current global situation. We’re becoming ever more aware of the huge gap between the 1% and the 99% of our human family – and realizing that fundamental change is urgently needed.

As we move forward through 2012, our choices of love or fear, both personal and collective will matter as never before. We have enormous spiritual and cosmic support for the journey ahead and the change that needs to take place.

In my latest book HOPE: Healing Our People & Earth I share my understanding of the multidimensional bigger picture and higher purpose behind the turbulence of 2012. I reveal the underlying traumas within nations and our collective psyche, show how they’ve occurred and how we can now heal and release them. And I show how powerful astrological and cosmic alignments and influences are energetically shaking us all into wakefulness and an expanded awareness.

But to ultimately heal the traumas within

our collective psyche that drive the fear-based behaviours that have resulted in the 1%/99% rift, we need to understand that in reality ‘we are the 100%.’ There is no them and us; ultimately there’s only us all.

Our global societies need radical reform and in many ways a fundamental re-set and a new beginning – and crucially we’re beginning to understand how together, we can co-create such re-soul-utions.

However only by transcending the apparent duality that divides us and engaging everyone in the global Shift will we be able to heal our relationship with each other and with Gaia and achieve the amazing potential that is our cosmic destiny.

This is I believe our essential choice and transformational promise of 2012 and beyond.

hoPE - healing our People & Earth: 2012 and Beyond

An evening talk with Dr Jude Currivan

As a cosmologist, healer and business leader Dr Jude Currivan has journeyed to nearly 70 countries

around the world. This evening, she explores how on scales from individuals to nations to our

entire collective, the traumas of the past are still embodied in our fear-based behaviours and

crucially how we now have the opportunity to heal and release them and undertake a global Shift of consciousness that the Mayans and many other

indigenous elders prophesy for 2012 and beyond. Jude will also share her understanding of the

energetic connections between people and places, the cosmic connections between astrological influences and the hopeful and empowering

‘bigger picture’ behind unfolding world events, their higher purpose and how they affect every

one of us in supporting the cosmic destiny of our collective Shift. Crucially HOPE explores what every

one of us can do to make a difference.

The Singing Field ExperienceA one day workshop with Chloë Goodchild

A ‘Singing Field’ is a place where individuals and groups can gather and create community together. It is a place to sing together, beyond the boundaries of creed and culture. It is an

unconditional field of listening, similar to that of indigenous communities, in which both the individual and the collective wisdom is

expressed, heard and honoured.

At this uplifting sound and voice event, we will create a beautiful singing field that will

provide nourishment and support for all who are present. You will gain a clear understanding

about ways to sing and chant – using both structured and spontaneous vocal practices –

including simple vowel sounds, mantras, words of power, personal and ancestral songs, simple

improvisations, unison and multi-part harmonies, as well as movement and meditation practices to

support your everyday life.

In this inspiring one-day workshop, you will re-discover the true or naked voice of your soul. Your voice is the ‘muscle of your soul’. It is a vehicle for spiritual practice enabling you to discover new and unimagined ways to live and to love yourself, your

family and the wider community. No previous singing experience is necessary.

O121 449 4086

Chloë founded The Naked voice after a transformative experience in Northern India. Deafness in childhood catalysed Chloë’s fascination with inner sound and the singing voice as the most intimate vehicle for spirit, unhindered by the limitations of social conditioning. She records and performs with many world-leading composers, poets and musicians including Coleman Barks, poet-translator of The Essential Rumi. Her albums include Devi, the Grammy-nominated Sura and Fierce Wisdom. www.thenakedvoice.com

I coined the word ‘Singing Field’ after an experience I had in North America about 10 years ago. I was singing in concert at the Thomas Berry Hall off the coast of Seattle. I had decided to improvise freely around the words of the Rumi poem, translated by Coleman Barks which he called, Field.

“Out beyond ideas of right and wrong doing, there is a field, a singing field, I’ll meet you there.”

The melody line, simply appeared – out of nowhere - as I was improvising different musical phrases accompanied by a wonderful world percussionist. Suddenly everyone was joining in and singing it with me, as if we had been singing it for years! The melody established itself inside me from that moment on and has since become an anthem for our work. ‘Singing Field’ has been sung all over the world, from local to global gatherings.

The Singing Field has since been used to describe the unique meeting place in which our Naked Voice workshops take place. It is the invisible conduit for our work. It is created wherever ‘two or three are gathered’ to practice the principles of The Naked Voice, that is to say: deep non-jugdemental listening, as well as a creative and compassionate attention to our own, and each other’s authentic voice.

The Healing Power of Chanting & Shared Sound – Everyone can do it.

The Naked Voice shared sound is unlike social entertainment singing. It offers a way of sounding that is so simple - both melodically and rhythmically - that anyone can do it no matter what their story-line is about ‘being’ or ‘not being’ a singer. Its impact is so immediate, accessible and unthreatening to participate in that it literally en-chants even the most

defended or diverse groups of people to let go of their opinions, relax, and discover new ways to listen to each other without judgement or fear. Chanting releases core emotions too often hidden from our lives, like a frozen music inside us. It then draws our attention inwards, enabling us to let go of our outer pre-occupations, as we find ourselves being touched more deeply from the inside-out . Chanting is a healing experience. It calms our nervous system, gathers our reactive mind and brings us home to silence. It awakens a wondrous power inside you -enabling you to reach deeper inside yourself to a place where your heart, of its own volition bursts wide open, and for a moment in time - or forever - is sheer joy, unfettered, spontaneous and free. In this place anything is possible.

A Scientific Field of Intelligence

Most compelling to me now is that our Singing Field has strong links as a concept, with the expanding work being carried out by scientists who are starting to acknowledge the vibration or presence - also detected numerically within the ancient alphabets, and sacred languages of our world religions – of a new ‘field’ or ‘intelligence’ in the universe. Scientists such as Stephen Hawkin, are even referring to this new field of intelligence as “the mind of God”. They have even gone so far as to say that this ‘new’ intelligence is – and has always been - encoded in the cells of our DNA. Yet for the most part, it has remained hidden from our consciousness like a frozen music, or a forgotten wisdom, patiently awaiting a new time for its recognition and re-emergence. It is becoming increasingly clear that NOW is that time, and that our practice of these sacred chants and love songs can be instrumental in activating this resonant consciousness and with it the special ‘field of energy’.

Of course that field is always there, its just that we are developing the skills to strengthen and commit ourselves to becoming more aware of ‘the field’ as a force for healing and awakening consciousness.

Mantras as Sonic Formulae - Building a Conscious Community

Chanting sacred mantras or ‘spiritual words of power’ is of course an ancient as the hills to the indigenous communities of the world, who still uphold these essential sound practices at the heart of their community life. The beauty of it is that it is so simple that every member of a family, group or community can access and share the sound. You can choose to sound simple melodies, or ‘mantras’, devotional love songs or hymns. The melodies often spiral around the home or tonic note of the musical scale. Mantras are essentially sonic formulae drawn from the ancient religious alphabets of the last 5000 years, and before. These sonic formulae have the capacity to awaken our consciousness catalysing intuitive flashes, that open the heart,

bypass the rational mind and bring us into a state of presence, beyond separateness, into a state of unity and equilibrium within ourselves. When this happens, the ‘field of intelligence’ becomes very apparent.

The Singing Field is the conduit within which this deeper communication is made possible, for either small or large numbers of people at once. A commitment to non-judgemental listening, by everyone present, lies at the heart of this wisdom singing experience.

Past Lives, Present Themes

David is an author of five books on spiritual and psychic development as well as a broadcaster with experience on television and radio and a columnist in newspapers and magazines. The Qabalah is his source of inspiration, the ancient Mystical Qabalah and not the version popularized by Madonna and his formal study of over a decade was undertaken in Portsmouth where happenstance placed him after a career in the Royal Navy. David has specialized in Astrology and Past Life Regression, two disciplines that he very much puts together, and has helped many students and clients uncover their own lost and hidden truths through these ancient and magical tools.

Have you really lived before? Could it be possible that you’ve been someone else? Its seems incredible but at the same time it can feel as if it could answer a whole load of questions, questions like:

Why do I feel drawn to another country?

How can your child pick up an instrument and play it without any tuition?

Why does your best mate behave like royalty?

Astrology for me is the first indication that we do come back, to purify and learn, to interact and to have the opportunity to make different choices - a birth chart is way too complicated for just one incarnation. That of course means so does everyone else and there begins the wheel of Karma that’s at the core of past lives and your present themes.

A word on Karma. People often use it with a reverent tone, sometimes followed by a face, the kind of face that denotes suffering and perhaps turmoil. But Karma can be good too, it simply comes down to how you live your life and the choices you make. For each action

there’s an opposite or equal reaction and that’s that and all about it! If you choose to hurt me that’s your Karma, if I choose to respond that’s mine. Create positive Karma by making positive choices. It’s not rocket science, unless you work for NASA in which case it might be.

So, back to you and past lives. Are you having funky, repetitive dreams where you’re playing the same scenario out all the time and you can’t seem to find an ending? Maybe you’ve been on holiday and just felt as if you’ve lived there before? Sometimes people come into our lives and we have an instant love or dislike to them without any rational reasons?

If you’re interested in the subject I always take that as a sign that there’s something from your past lives that would help you figure out why you’ve chosen the life you have now. Yes you will have chosen it, and for many reasons not least to work out that Karma with those around you. So what can you do next?

A good place to start is with your feelings about individuals in your life, places you have been and listening to your hunches or those visuals you get when you dream or meditate. Write

them down, putting them in a journal may not make sense as you start this journey but pretty soon a theme will appear and it will make perfect sense as you put the pieces together.

A visit to the Akashic Records is something that most of my students love to do too, they like the imagery of the library, the record halls, and the book with their name on it. A book that holds all their past

lives and the stories that again illuminate their theme, their reason for being in this time right here right now, it’s something that’s easily accessed and is a very popular meditation at workshops.

Soul Mates will make an appearance too, they will show themselves through the eyes, the windows of the soul, and you are likely to recognise them immediately. They have chosen to incarnate to help you and you to help them. Remember soul mates are best friends, family members, a boss, the postman they can be anyone who has an influence on your life or watches over you and they can also be those who challenge you the most. If someone has known your soul for centuries they may have chosen to be an antagonist to help you learn valuable lessons. Not a pleasant task for them perhaps but they love you enough to take it on?

By now you will have more questions than I have space to answer, my advice is to read the books, do the regressions, attend the workshops and keep your journal filled with even more questions because that way big answers and revelations await. Become your own psychic and past life detective.

Past Lives, Present Themes

A one day workshop with David Wells

In this workshop you will go on a journey, a journey that uncovers the story or your soul, or at least part of it. This is time for you to uncover who you truly are, the experiences you’ve had along the way and what gifts you have brought into this incarnation. You also have time to look at what you would prefer to leave behind, acknowledged, healed and ready to bring new experiences into your life. You will also have the chance to connect with those in your soul group as well as your Past Life Guide and take a magical journey to the Akashic Record to read from the book that holds everything your soul has ever seen

or done.

If you have phobias, unrealistic fears or obsessions as well as a passion for another country, another time in history or anything in your life that you’re convinced is a past life memory this could be the way to uncover

those links.

Once you know how to access your past lives you can go back time and time again to find information that will help you in your current incarnation and you can piece together the

journey of your soul.

With practice you will become more adept at making those connections and recognising those who have travelled with you when you

come across them in this life.

Let go of the physical restraints of time and space, complete karmic cycles and start new

positive ones that could transform your life.

Tree of Life Cosmic CafeTune-IN with Juice Fasting by Markéta Bola

-

Markéta is a natural nutritionist and raw living food chef who runs raw food workshops, classes and dining experiences in the Uk. Her enthusiasm and passion for the living food lifestyle is an inspiration to many. Her gratitude belongs to her journey from being an unhealthy child to growing into a beautiful dancing queen in the kitchen! Her teaching is a delightful cocktail of self-empowerment through the creative expression of many sensual live food dishes. She loves sharing her exciting ideas and transformational insights that will give you a recipe for how to move from theory to practice

‘Prayer brings us halfway to God, fasting takes us to the gateway of heaven.‘ Muhammad

The benefits of juicing are many – it provides nutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and important living enzymes. After having my daily morning juice my whole body feels revitalised, fulfilled and full of life.

I’d love to imagine that daily juicing is a piece of cake for most of us. But it’s not the reality and wasn‘t even for me. I had my great twin-gear juicer sitting on my kitchen table for almost a year before I started using it regularly. It looked really good sitting there but it didn’t improve my health! You may be experiencing the same kind of resistance. Here are my four juicy tips for overcoming this:

1. Make a commitment to yourself to juice Start with a commitment you can definitely stick to – it could be just to juice once per week and then gradually increasing to each day.

2. Experience the benefits – When you have your fresh juice and experience the great feelings in your body, mind & spirit – it will inspire you to keep going with your commitment.

3. Create a good habit – As you continue juicing regularly you will develop good habits for buying your fruits & vetegables and efficiently cleaning the juicer afterwards.

4. Have fun while juicing! – Try different

combinations of fruits, vegetables and herbs to juice. And play your favourite songs while you‘re doing it!

A day of fasting once per week (or per month if you prefer) just on vegetable juices can literally purify your soul as well as cleansing and detoxifying your body. It really gives you the finest, freshest and fullest supplementation of much nutrition. Not only are we protecting our body from dis-ease but nowadays it can be a fast track to recover and overcome diseases, from cancer to addictions. It also helps with balanced weight loss. Fasting creates a break in eating and stuck emotional patterns - it takes us on a regenerative retreat so-called ‘holy-days’. Firstly it slows us down but secondly it speeds up our ability to be in touch with ourselves on all levels – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

Thousands of years ago many religions used fasting as a therapeutic process to purify the mind, body & spirit. Many spiritual leaders (incl. Jesus, Buddha, Gandhi) and great artists found their divine guidance through a longer period of fasting.

‘Humans live on one-quarter of what they eat; on the other three-quarters lives their doctor.‘ Egyptian pyramid inscription, 3800 B.C.

My Tune-IN Juice (see recipe) has become my awakening mantra: ‘Thanks for every new morning’. It’s like having an extra inner shower. I also have discovered that fasting on juices one day per week helps my body to rest, opens my mind to intuitive ideas and my energy is ligther. It’s a calming experience on all levels. A fast ‘Tune-IN Juicing‘ day is a fantastic way to uplift your energy and enhance your creativity.

Hear Markéta speak at the Tree of Life Festival on Sat 14 Apr (see p19) and at the Tree of Life Inspiration Network on Mon 25 Jun on ‘Raw Living Food for Spiritual Awakening‘ (see p20 for venue and time details).
