The hardest thing in life is to forgive. But hate is self-destructive. If you hate somebody you're not hurting the person you hate, you're hurting yourself. Forgiveness is healing. 
Waiting List

As The Holistic Fayre, Bothasig is getting busier and busier, we are looking for readers and healers for our waiting list.  Often life happens, and one of our healers or readers cannot attend the Holistic Fayre.  The waiting list is a very important part of the Fayre.

The waiting list is filled with readers and healers names, contact details and what they have to offer.  They are often contacted the day before.

If you are a reader or healer, and would like to take this opportunity please send me an email.
If life becomes hard, soften it with random acts of kindness.
Abigail Fysh

Many questions have been asked about our favourite massage and healing therapist, Abigail Fysh.  We are all missing her terribly.

Abigail at the moment is in need of healing prayers herself. Just before Christmas, due to water shortage and over loading and carrying extra heavy loads of water for long periods of time, she hurt her back badly.  Abigail is on the waiting list at Tygerberg Hospital to undergo a back operation. 

Please keep her and her family in your prayers and positive thoughts

Sutherland - Gateway to the Universe

Over 25 000 years ago, the KhoiSan or Bushmen people who inhabited this region knew that time is in the stars. They had a remarkably extensive knowledge of the stars and wove this wisdom into the rhythm of their lives. The 19th-century scholar Dr Wilhelm Bleek, who studied their languages and analysed their legends, found evidence that the Bushmen had observed the movements of the planet Jupiter and its four main moons with the naked eye. These Bushman legends date back to before Galileo made his observations with his first telescope

Sutherland - Gateway to the Universe is beautiful, magical, life altering, extraordinary, allow experiences on all levels of existence and the panicle of life-enhancing energy flowing through your soul!

5 Powerful Ways to Step Back During a Toxic Time
 
Toxic times will always be a part of life, especially in today's fast-paced world. Learning how to handle stressful moments is an important skill to master to have a happy and well-balanced life. After all, the last thing you want to happen is to have your mind and body suffer from the ill effects of stress.

You can start avoiding the unhealthy consequences of stress by learning how to evade toxicities that can come from an unexpected event or even from everyday living.

A wise person once said, "Life is not happening to you. Life is responding to you." - author unknown. This is absolutely true. You dictate what life hands you. If you make up your mind to be successful, odds are, you will be.

The Life of Water

Everything in this universe is made up of information. Words are information, thoughts are information, life is information, DNA is information, energy is information. When interacting with anything you are exchanging information. As you breathe your lungs exchange information with every inhale and every exhale. Information is constantly changing and water is a part of this mutual exchange. Everything on planet Earth needs water to survive, to thrive and to be alive.

If you take a closer look at water you will find that the molecular structure of water is like letters of an alphabet. Each letter is a molecule, each molecule has information and information is a type of memory with specific instructions. If you take a look outward at water as a whole, it's like the sentence and a sentence can always be changed.

Knowledge is meaningful only if it is reflected in action. The human race has found out the hard way that we are what we do, not just what we think.
