Crystal of the month of November – Mookite

The month of November reminds us that another year is nearly over as we start to think towards the coming year and all it is going to bring for us. This is a good month to reflect on what have been both the highlights and low lights of 2012 for us. To seriously think about what we would like to achieve for ourselves over the next 12 months and to allow our desire for new experiences to be reawakened.

This time Mookite has been chosen as our favourite crystal of the month as it has a wonderfully calming energy to carry with you during your daily life. One of its specialities is that is helps one to move forward in life with ease and gives the confidence to believe in your decision making process. It openly encourages balanced thoughts and allows you to remain flexible and honest with any new ideas you may have.

Mookite is an astonishing stone for those who feel they are alone or just lonely. It is also a great stone that is available to help those who are often kind to all others and forget about themselves and it reminds them to start to think of themselves in a kind and loving manner too.

Mookite is a variety of jasper and is often referred to as Australian Jasper. It is available in a blend of colours ranging from mustard yellow to deep burgundy red.

When used in a healing environment it is beneficial to the immune system and for purifying the blood.

Wearing a piece of Mookite will allow you to be versatile in your daily life as well as pointing out all of the opportunities that are available to you at that time and assists in choosing the right path to follow.

A selection of pieces are available for you to purchase from The Happiness Centre at an affordable price.  Try it and see what happens for you, you could be presently surprised

If you would like to enjoy the benefits of a personal one to one crystal healing with our extraordinary healer then please email Peta on healthful.healing@yahoo.co.uk or telephone 07736929614.

All of Peta’s healings come highly recommended as they are beneficial, uplifting, rejuvenating and de-stressing

Citrine – The Crystal of the Month for September

We find ourselves in a time of transition and transformation during the month of September, when the seasons once again start to change from late summer to early autumn. This period is known as the Autumn Equinox and this year it falls on September 22^nd.  For those that are unsure, Equinox means equal length to both day and night time hours, ie 12 hours exactly and this is also an important time in the calendar as it signifies the first day of Autumn.

For this reason, Citrine has been chosen as this month’s favourite crystal to work with. September is the perfect month for us to look back at what we have received, experienced and learnt so far this year and give thanks before we start to prepare ourselves for the long, dark winter months ahead.

As the nights start to draw in, the arrival of colder days and longer hours of darkness can strongly affect our mood. Citrine is known as a happy and joyful stone that has the ability to bring about a deep feeling of euphoria and light heartedness. This makes it perfect to use in the coming months.

The Autumnal Equinox can also be known to some as Alban Elfed, Autumnal Equinox, Cornucopia, Fall Equinox, Feast of Avilon, Festival of Dionysus, Harvest Home, Harvest Tide, Night of the Hunter, Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest and Witch’s Thanksgiving.

Citrine is also a wonderful stone for manifesting our future wishes and dreams and removing any negativity and self-destructive tendencies that are with us that could be holding us back from achieving our desires. So carry your piece of Citrine to help you say thank you for what you have received and for what you have to look forward to in the future.

Did you also know that Citrine is one of the most powerful stones used for attracting wealth. Place a piece in your purse or wallet, cash box or on top of your cheque book.  A selection of pieces are available for you to purchase from The Happiness Centre from £1.  Try it and see what happens for you, you could be surprised.

If you would like to enjoy the benefits of a personal one to one crystal healing with our extraordinary healer then please email Peta on healthful.healing@yahoo.co.uk or telephone 07736 929614.

All of Peta’s healings come highly recommended as they are beneficial, uplifting, rejuvenating and de-stressing

The intrepid explorer returns for a brief visit to Ilkley…

You may remember the Happiness Centre’s Journey Therapist, Louise Fennel, setting off for a cycle tour across Germany and Austria back in July, having given away most of her possessions. When she reached Graz in Austria, her heart felt called to stay. She is, however, back soon in Ilkley for a few days to run another of her fabulous Soul Journey retreats on Sun 13th Nov. She is also available to see clients, old and new for Journey Therapy and Energy healing from 9-14 November. Contact her at louisefennel@gmail.com

Louise writes…

“It has been an amazing journey, finding my way over miles of terrain with just a large scale road map, learning to trust that I would always find somewhere to stay, getting used to those strange animal noises when I was bivvying alone in the woods! I gradually learned to let go and trust. There were so many times when I felt at a complete loss as to what to do next, not least because my sense of direction is, shall we say, rather underdeveloped. I learned to just stop and breathe until a solution presented itself. And, as if by magic, a solution always came – sometimes it was as if another road would just emerge as if out of the mist, or some lovely person with a fabulous knowledge of the local area would just appear to help. Trust, trust, trust were the words that kept coming into my mind, and BREATHE….”

Sacred Sound Chanting and Meditation Retreat last weekend

 We had a lovely, rejuvenating and clearing time at Saturday’s Chanting and Meditation day, in the beautiful healing energy of the Happiness Centre’s meditation room. We enjoyed some incredibly powerful meditation on the breath mixed with elements of Journey therapy, allowing us to connect deeply at soul level. This was interspersed with periods of chanting the seed sound for each chakra. We also tried some walking meditation after a lovely shared lunch. Comments from those who came included: “A wonderful introduction to chanting”… “The meditations were amazing” … and “I went deeper than I’ve ever gone before…”

Louise is planning to run another Chanting and Meditation day in the near future, so let us know if you would be interested.

Invitation to A Sacred Sound and Healing Retreat Day – in a program with venues including Retreat Centres in Catalonia and Co. Galway Eire, Covent Garden and Cornwall.

On Saturday July 9th 2011, at the Happiness Centre, Ilkley, you are invited to the first of a series of wonderful new events … A Sacred Sound and Healing Retreat Day – in a program with venues including Retreat Centres in Catalonia and Co. Galway Eire, Covent Garden and Cornwall.  

This day retreat offers time out for yourself to come into relationship with your inner core. To let all things arise in a beautifully supportive environment of equals, coming together in body, mind, and spirit, to share ancient practices of sound, music, poetry, astrological and emotional insight.

For thousands of years the healing qualities of sound have been known. The Chinese Qi Gong Six Healing Sounds (Qi =life force, Gong = cultivation of), combined with gentle meditative movement; Native American drumming and chanting; Sufi and Shiva traditions; the exhilaration of Greek folk music…we will draw on many forms from Bach to The Beatles and far beyond to all shores.

Kath Reade will sing her songs which touch the listener deeply and open the heart. You can join in, as live music creates a special community.

Maggie Pashley will share her profound healing skills, honed over many years, and

 Michael Conneely will create a wonderful cloud of visionary poetry for you to rest in. His vast astrological wisdom will be a valuable resource for the day – and for your life.

To experience this retreat will be to give yourself a much deserved gift, to nurture your soul, in a coming together of equal spiritual beings with unlimited potential, -no gurus, no ideologies, or ‘isms’.  Just helping each other to ‘be’. To discover freedom and joy within. So we can say -May all beings live in peace -may all beings live in harmony -may all beings live in peace and harmony.

Join us -you are welcome….
