This year seems to have passed so quickly, the classes in Andalucia are growing, and it is also wonderful to see younger and younger students of both sex attending. Ten years ago it seemed to be all women of a certain age, and now the boundaries have extended to all. What does that say about the general requirements of the world... wonderful? There is so much disharmony in the material world, yet so many are coming forward as light workers, ready to do battle for the good of mankind. This year I have been to London for the usual weeks for SAGB where as usual I do a workshop, this year has been PAST LIVES which is always popular. The workshop has been full. Nice to see many old friends, many who wait each year for an update on their lives. Summer was spent in LOS ANGELES where I was hosted by a delightful FILM maganate... meeting many charming people. The best for me however was the chance to visit Yogananda´s home and hermitage, also the wonderful Lakr centre that he completed a few years before his death. It actually felt that his essence was still held in each place and I felt so dear to my wonderful master. It was also interesting to me that so few people knew of his and its existence, so there was a lot of opening of hearts there. I remember how I felt when Paramahansa Yogananda was first shown to me and how it changed my life... it has the same effect each time someone gets to read his books, especially starting with Autobiography of a Yogi. Autumn again was important, as I attended the MIND BODY SPIRIT venues in both Andalucia and Oslo Norway. Both venues have become a yearly occasion, and I am always inundated with readings which I find very gratifying, and hope that many are helped both in their everyday life and in soul work. December was a joy; I spent six weeks in Japan as the guest of IIS a Japanese version of SAGB run by Hiroshi Kinjo, who used to be on the board at SAGB with me. I last visited Japan seven years ago, and it was wonderful to see how the centre has grown. I visited nine different cities for a workshop and readings, each one with a different translator. I loved it, making many new friends, Japan is so nice, the people delightful, and it is so enjoyable to be able to walk the streets safely much like London twenty years ago. I have been invited to return in 2009, so hopefully this will come to fruition. I have in mind to do one of my five day workshops there at the foot of Mount Fuji so beautiful, and will put it out on my web in case anyone from Europe or USA would like to join in. That being the case, we would arrange a visit to Tokyo, wonderful Kyoto and its temples and many other paces... anyone interested please email me. We are now in 2008, a big change in energy seems to be here, things happen so fast and the weeks fly by. I am aiming to do more work in Spain this year, rather than globe trotting, although there still seems to be a few places on the calendar to draw me away. On the personal side, I have two new grandchildren in the past two years, and a third on the way. My beloved Lucy, my Mastiff dog died of cancer last November, making me realize how life never stops changing... so we must enjoy every bit of life welcoming the change knowing that each part of this journey is just part of our experiences of evolution. MORE NEWS later in the year!
