IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD...

In 1987 an amazing person, Linda Goodman, wrote of an intuitive divining art, gifted from the Universe, to discover secrets and messages hidden within words. She named this, the Lexigram. Where anagrams are a game of fun, Lexigrams are serious insights into hidden knowledge and will gently develop your sixth sense and open your third eye.

Many English words were deliberately created to follow logical sequences and from common usage but a larger percentage were developed from the collective subconscious and these hold the greatest mysteries. Not all words will contain esoteric wisdom but when time is taken to meditate on the words that feel relevant to you at that moment many new concepts, poems or images can be recognised.

English is what is known as a living language and this means more than intended when you contemplate the layers of meaning. Linda Goodman says, "Some words are mutants of original words, and so words undergo mutation. They meet, fuse or fall in love, so to speak- and they mate. They can and do produce "children". Hybrid words and varieities of compound words are the progeny or offspring of "parent" words, who earlier fused and mated."

The word, Lexigram, really means the word and words, obtained by anagramming a word or phrase, are drawn out in full and reassembled to reveal symbolic meanings, messages and truths. A Lexigram phrase must be composed of the letters within the original phrase but not every letter needs to be used.

An example; LETTERS (EELRSTT) Let Seer See.

The word, UNTIED becomes UNITED when 2 letters are "reversed" or "re-versed" (to rewrite).

EARTH - HEART. Hear Her Art.

Our birth names reveal a great deal about our lives, personality and potential. Write out your full name and list the letters as above. Begin by creating all the words you can find made up from those letters. As you form the words allow your intuition to link them together into sentences and follow your thoughts as they spiral upward and outward to reveal what is contained within. Not everything will be shown to you all at once, you may need to return to this several times. Timing is relevant in this practice as in most spiritual studies and development and more will be revealed in due course.

Much can be learned about history, politics and people by studying the Lexigrams and with practice this tool will uncover and produce some incredible results.

To gain a full understanding of this method please read Linda Goodman's "Star Signs", an oustanding classic work for decoding the Universe's secrets.

Nature has many answers to the questions and puzzles of life and they can be found in the most obvious of places.

It is well-known that plants have healing qualities and benefits for many ailments and research is ongoing in this area within mainstream medicine and pharmaceutical circles.

The indigenous healers and alternative therapists of all modalities have been aware of plant medicine throughout history and have utilised herbs and other plants, from roots through to leaves and flowers. The ways in which the beneficial components are extracted are as varied as the problems they treat.

Often our emotional state is the cause of further health problems and by addressing this in the first instance when out of balance any further destruction can be minimised and even halted. Over time we can improve our physical problems by treating our emotional states.

Flower Essences embody the energetic keys to unlock the negative patterns we get caught up in. They can release the positive feelings and inspiration needed to venture forward again in our life journey. Many different Essences have been discovered, for example, the Edward Bach Flower Essences, the North American Flower Essences, The Findhorn Flower Essences, The Australian Bush Flower Essences, just a few of the more commonly used.

How the Flower Essences benefit us can not be verified as yet by scientific methods and have been developed through intuitive experimentation and discovery but this does not detract in any way from the outstanding results they achieve.

For every emotional state, condition and impediment there is a counter-balancing essence that will act gently and effectively to realign the individual. Good health stores generally stock a range of Flower Essences that can be easily selected from for the individual. For more indepth analysis a professional practitioner can be consulted and many Naturopaths and Homoeopaths encompass Flower Essences within their dispensary of medicinal remedies.

One of the Bach Flower Essences, Rescue Remedy, is so successful and widely recognised that it is commonly carried on hand and within First Aid Kits. Rescue Remedy is a combination of 5 essences to treat shock, fright, trauma and fear.

Both humans and animals gain immensely from the regular use of Flower Essences and they can be relied on to produce soothing and gentle healing for very positive results.
