Listening to the Star Within

 

16, 17, 18, 19, July 2012

Presented by Mike Booth

 

Just above the navel and a little way inside is a very bright point of light, like a diamond or a star, which is at the centre of the being. In the Aura-Soma® Colour system, this is called the Incarnational Star. The Incarnational Star corresponds to our first cell.
TheIncarnational Star contains all the information about this life, about our mission and purpose, our challenges, our talents and our gifts.  Our soul is connected with existence, with Pure Consciousness, through the Incarnational Star and when we reconnect to it, we re-establish our relationship with ourselves as a soul and Unity with everything, One-ness.

Giving our attention to this energetic point within, to the Star we are, assists us in becoming grounded, centred and more conscious because the Golden area contains the gifts of our wisdom that lies within this energetic point in the Golden area within ourselves.

During this course Mike will explain, guide and support you through various experiences to facilitate a deeper connection with your Star, the Golden area within yourself, teaching you how to connect with it and listen to this inner still small voice: something that help us go beyond the mind and that comes from the essence of our being, the Star that we are.

The Aura-Soma System
and the Tarot

20, 21, 22 July 2012

Presented by Mike Booth

 

Mike Booth presents this three day course which explores the interrelationship between the Tree of Life, the Aura-Soma New Aeon Tarot and the Aura-Soma Equilibrium bottles.  The Tree of Life is a map of consciousness.  The Tarot is a set of cards, an ancient tool that has been called an encyclopedia of esoteric knowledge.  Each card has a place on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and provides keys that can help us to unlock doorways to both personal and universal understandings.  The Aura-Soma Tarot conveys, through its symbolism, this ancient esoteric knowledge and provides deeper understanding through the interface with the Equilibrium bottles.  At one level, the Aura-Soma system could be looked at as an encyclopedia of consciousness which decodes energy and information.

What is really significant and unique about the Aura-Soma Tarot is its relationship to colour and thus the Equilibrium bottles along with the inclusion of a second level of the Major Arcana.  The first level, B0 to B21, is explored in the context of the outward journey – the journey towards the gaining of understanding, the awakening journey.  However, the understanding isn’t just for ourselves, it’s how we might share that understanding in the world. This is what the second level is about.

The second level, B22 and B79 – B99, is looked at in the context of the return journey where, through us, we can give that understanding back to the world.  It is a journey at a deeper level of consciousness or awareness.  The exploration of the outward journey and the return journey provides the basis for this course.

VisualZacharieARCHANGEL ZACHARIEL
B109 - MAGENTA/MID-TONE OLIVE
Born noon (12 pm) Tuesday 26th July 2011
First thoughts
l brings a new sense of hope and optimism and stimulates creativity. Where there has been a lack of confidence, a new confidence now ensues.

The birth of this Archangel is related to the presence of King Arthur and rules the solar aspect of ourselves whilst also working closely with Kuthumi, and thus was the inspiration for Pythagoras. The balancing of polarities so that a sense of unification may come about.

The hidden peace, the blue/blue (B2) confirms Zachariel as the Archangel of Peace and is also related to Tzadkiel (B99). Restores a sense of dignity where dignity has been lost.

In Egypt he was known as Amun. He provides a deep level of protection and harmony and presents us with a new vision, a vista for the times that are to come.

This Archangel supports symmetry and harmony both in geometry and in our own thoughts and development. He may assist in bringing the emotions of harmony and balance back and to clarify the thoughts where there has been confusion. Thus he brings the possibility to balance the functions of the brain that have been out of balance - a sense of re-ordering.

There is also a synonymity with Jupiter and Zeus, providing expansion, creativity and re-unification, to stimulate the helio-centric point of view. This brings the possibility to honour the present moment as an access to the eternal. To enter the 'here and now' with a sense of optimism based in intuition - inner tuition.

Further thoughts:

In this bottle the love from above (magenta) supports us in letting go of the bitterness of the past (olive). The bitterness, not only personal, not only related to the fears that surround the bitterness but also within the genetic and ancestral situation. There are patterns within the RNA/DNA which reflect the bitterness of the past. The understanding of how our disappointments, our sense of betrayal, our sense of conflict within ourselves can only be supported by the love from above or the grace when it comes in.

How do we, individually, come to terms with those things as they arise out of the collective, the ancestral roots or the personal experience where we feel we have been let down in love? However justified we may feel, however we may feel that someone else has contributed to that, what do we do when we contribute to that in ourselves? We deny the love from above, the support that is there for us and indeed the love that is the basic ground upon which we walk.

The only way to a new sense of hope, of love, of what the caring and the warmth can come to be, is to let go of the fears. In that letting go we may recognise the sense of resolution for the bitterness within the depth of ourselves as we put the love, caring and warmth into all of the small things that we do each day. The only way towards the resolution that we seek is to acknowledge the caring and warmth in the little things that we do.

The magenta energy affects the family group that could be called the 'constellation' and into which we project ourselves into our world. Sometimes it has been referred to as the nuclear family and how the hope and a new spirit can enter this situation. Perhaps this is why this magenta is slightly more in the direction of pink than the colour we have previously called magenta. It can be referred to as a new magenta and a new olive because what is being asked of us is to really let go. To let go of what we have relied upon, what has created difficulties for ourselves and for others as we have come into these situations that have brought up the olive experience.

The olive process is always 'letting go' of the bitterness where the olive goes through the process of marination to reveal the gold within. It is an alchemical possibility to resolve that olive and to find the true sweetness of spirit where the spirit reveals itself anew. A new sense of hope, a new sense of the awakening force arising within ourselves.

The 109 reduces by adding 10+9 = 19 (outward journey of The Sun. The return journey comes in the 97)

The 19 =1 + 9 = 10 (outward journey) 88 (return journey)
The 10/88 combination speaks about Karma and Dharma.

This is a very potent bottle in relation to the karmic seeds. To look at the karmic seeds is to look at what is coming up moment to moment. Why do we believe so strongly that those seeds responsible for our thoughts and feelings are based entirely in our own experience? Why do we not consider that those thoughts arising in the content of mind may be the consequence of conditioning by the parents or grandparent or perhaps even deeper conditioning from within our ancestral roots?

When we experience a sense of bitterness, maybe jealousy or a sense of wanting to be in another's space, we identify that as being a consequence of our own experience rather than what we are there to transmute - the fears that we need to let go of to come into a new space, that we may receive the grace, the love from above, the love in the little things.

The B109 is also a B19 (10 + 9). The B19 is to do with the sun, the solar energy, the king within ourselves, the connection with Arthur. In the recent time at Uisneach, Ireland, the group that visited had an opportunity to sit in the throne on Lughs Mound (the mound of light). That experience became part of the birth of Zachariel which was in the process of coming into being.

There is the opportunity to realise that we are a king in our own kingdom in the temple of our body. We sit in that throne of ourselves ready to receive the inspiration of the light and open to the love from above. The light in the form of caring and warmth is available to us from above that we may be nurtured in the process of taking responsibility, the ability to respond to the situations that we find ourselves in as we begin to recognise the true king within us.

The king is the one that helps all the princes or lords of the body to come into order. Those princes are the organs of the body, the connections are the meridians, the energy channels that connect even to the extremities of our body, the kingdom of ourselves. That king is also synonymous with the emperor within, the ruler of the kingdom of ourselves, of our whole world and being. To sit in that throne and know that the descent at this point in time comes as a descent of light, in the present, the here and now.

The middle of the word 'AURA', the 'UR' where the source of light came from, the solar aspect within ourselves. The 'SOMA', the light of the moon synonymous with the body, the light body of Aura-Soma echoed in Zachariel. The coming together of the sun and the moon within ourselves.

When we look into this we are looking into a future possibility where responsibility for ease within ourselves takes on a different note: the ability to respond in whatever circumstance or situation we may meet. Do we identify with the patterns of the past or do we wish to open ourselves to our new possibility? A possibility in relation to caring, warmth and love, that by letting go of the bitterness and fears of the past, transmutation of the gold may come about. The letting go of 'dis-ease'.

During the Process of Individuation course in Ireland earlier this week the group visited the Cat Stone. We saw how this stone represents the four quarters - the north, south, east and west. We spoke a lot about the 'here and now', the fifth direction or dimension in the light grid matrix.

Wherever we find ourselves this bottle is there to remind us of the opening to the eternal from the 'here and now' provided we can let go into the moment. The possibility is to become as present with what is happening now by letting go of the past to meet the moment in its newness and freshness. In so doing we meet others in their newness and freshness rather than projecting into the future or burdening them with how we saw them in the past.

The only place we can resolve anything is in the 'here and now'. The only place we can come to resolution within ourselves is in the 'here and now', in the moment where that moment reveals itself in truth.

The truth of the olive is the hope, the hope in the awakening force that lies within each of us where the caring and warmth of the magenta energy comes in and from above, to nurture the space for the soul to incarnate more fully.

CONSULTATION SKILLS with EILISH KELLY   

       
An Accredited Aura-Soma Colour-Care-System© Consultation Skills Course. This is a renewal course and also meets the 36 hour level 4 requirement for Consultation Skills
I have worked for many years (in different contexts), lecturing, teaching, training and facilitating individuals and groups to develop communication skills which involve knowledge, intuition and creativity. I have also worked in private consultation practice as a Dream Analyst/Art Therapist for more than 15 years and Aura-Soma Practitioner for almost 10. As well as working with individuals, I work with groups of all kinds, some disadvantaged, using Equillibrium.   I also teach all levels of the ASIACT training and have an approved Renewal course in Exploring and Creating our Personal Myths through Colour and Symbols.

I strive to be egalitarian so I find it gives me great satisfaction to share my experience, skills and know-how with students and to see them confidently progress from dependence through independence to interdependence.  In addition this kind of work keeps me on my toes and in touch with current events in the worlds of colour and of consultation.
THE COURSE INCLUDES:
Lectures
Creative Experiential Exercises
Practical Consultations
Peer Work
Working with Clients
Placement
Research
Assignments
Evaluation
The course is of 36 hours duration, spread over 6 months, on one saturday a month.. It can also be delivered over 2 weekend modules. Please note: Students can attend on a modular basis ie they can pick and choose what modules they want to attend and when, taking as much time as they like to complete the course. In these cases a cost per session will be agreed.
Each session builds on the skills of the previous sessions. A workbook, handouts, evaluation sheets and photocopies of relevant articles are available. The course applies, as a norm, the underlying consultation principles within the Aura-Soma Colour-Care-System©. It also acknowledges key influences in contemporary soul therapy, psychotherapy, counselling, group analysis etc such as the work of Jung, Rogers, Stone, Buddha, Tao etc while keeping the focus on “person-centered” consultations.
The breaks between sessions are intended to permit time for study; allow participants to integrate information; apply what is being learned in practice (with at least one voluntary client for the duration of the course)
; work with peers; bring issues back to the sessions for examination; and allow participants to begin to build a practice by trying to have a placement in a holistic or other suitable centre if possible.

Extract from a Review by Olive Daly

I found the Consultation Skills Course very helpful in many ways. Part of the course involved finding a placement in a Counselling or Holistic Centre which would then refer clients. The course helped me to: Focus on the client and myself; Question; Relax and trust my intuition; Centre; Listen; Allow the client to tell their story, break down blind spots, see the bigger picture and seek the unexplored opportunities. In doing this I have also expanded my knowledge around the Equilibrium bottles.  My own skills and life developed during the course. It opened up my Aura-Soma life. I have gained more confidence in offering Aura – Soma. The course gave me a platform to launch myself from. I found the Consultation Skills course deep, informative, transformative, practical and down to earth.

Cost: The cost is 500.00eu
Availability: The course is available in Dublin and, by arrangement, in other parts of the country. Outside Ireland it is available over 2 modules of 3 days each, with the modules separated by a number of months.

Review by Siobhan Overson

I had heard of Mary’s Presenters Course with great recommendation from quite a few people I had met on the Level Three training, so I decided to do it in March of this year. The course was three days long and took place in Paula Herbert’s beautiful blue room in Rathmichael.

The course content itself was absolutely amazing, I don’t think I ever took in so much information in one weekend so I found the whole course extremely stimulating and motivating. Mary Varilly, our course presenter, was so generous with her time and knowledge and her sense of humour that the course was a joy to participate in. Mary lifted us up from our inertia of gently reading each other’s bottles to becoming self-assured Aura-Soma practitioners. She encouraged us to stand up and talk about ourselves, where our Aura-Soma journey had taken us and how to deliver that to an audience.

As well as that she furnished us with wonderful ideas for promotion of us as Aura-Soma practitioners – leaflets, business cards, places to practice Aura-Soma in the community and how to deliver our knowledge in a confident manner.Mary’s background as a teacher was very evident and I was enthralled by her bottomless well of information! Mary was willing to answer any question thrown at her and usually answered it in a very amusing way relating to her own experiences!

She also gave us a taste of the Sea and Butterfly Essences, which whetted my appetite to do that course in the future.

All in all the Presenters Course was a magnificent and intensive course, I came away exhausted but exhilarated with my new-found confidence and motivation to be the Aura-Soma practitioner I truly want to put into practice.
