I am very happy to write to you from my travels. I now have a brilliant opportunity to talk about different vibrations in different places, locations and within ourselves. I am an optimist and therefore I think that you know about it, too. It is so fascinating, isn’t it! We think we know who we are and how we feel and think and then, surprise, we find ourselves on another continent and everything, or just about everything seems so completely dissimilar and quite obviously poles apart. We behave otherwise, we adapt to cultures we didn’t consider before. We may speak another language there. Most likely we eat other foods in other countries, we reason about value for money like the locals and so on.
As a child I have always had the impression that people were the same all over the world. Of course they speak different languages, they eat other food, they dress in unusual ways to us, their culture is exotic and their belief systems are not like ours. But all of us want the same. We want to have a roof over our heads; we want enough food and love, we want work and to earn money. We all have economic systems, governments with rules and regulations and in a way we are happy with that general arrangement. As human beings we share a lot, regardless of our culture, creed and colour. Yet we feel almost alienated by other ethnic groups and their customs. Why is that? Let’s look at it without the coloured lens and let’s not fool ourselves. We are all so similar and all so diverse even in the midst of our own families. That is precisely healthy. It keeps us busy and active. We compare ourselves to the other members of the family, we fight or we are jealous or we love them dearly, sometimes despite the difference and sometimes because of it! It is the same with other cultures. We do need difference and we need to adjust ourselves to others. It is our duty as human beings. It is ethical to consider everyone, whoever they are. We cannot change them; it would be wrong and immoral. We cannot change other people, they can only change themselves.
There is a comparison with the weather: there is nothing we can change about it and so we are forced to accept it the way it is, we adapt by wearing different clothes, by seeking shelter from rain, sun or wind, etc. Tell me: how come we are likely to compromise more with the weather than with people? A good question indeed! We all know the answers. Energetically though it is interesting as the weather certainly manifests amazing vibrations. We don’t reason with the weather and arguing is pointless. With other people though we commonly think we can make a point. Maybe we hope to convince them; maybe we want to encourage them to see the world the way we want to see it. With such attitudes we move around in our energies of wanting. It may have nothing to do with the reality. We are anxious when we debate and argue, we are not appreciating facts in a coherent way. We understand now how intimately energy and emotions are linked: emotions are energy.
How is it with vibrations and energy, how would we define them and where do they come in? What are they and what are they good for? I will not attempt a technical explanation or analysis of currents, but I am happy to share some of my own thoughts with waves and movements inside and outside the body.
I believe everything is energy and energy is in everything and everyone. We are full of energy even when we sit still. Organs and cells and liquids all move relentlessly inside our bodies. The Earth moves on its own axis around us with us on it. All this occurs all the time whether we are tired, fed up, excited or on a specific high. It has not anything to do with how we feel; the movements are there in any case, the flow never stops. You see that there is energy and movement within us and outside of us at all times. Nothing is ever still.
I don’t think it’s preposterous to say that energy must be different in different locations. We all know the Earth is turning without fail and it certainly wouldn’t do that so consistently if the energy were the same in every location. In our automobiles we cannot drive in the same gear on every road, we adapt to the state of the road on which we are travelling. With us people it is so remarkably comparable: we like stimulations in all sorts of forms and shapes, sounds and vibrations, colours and lights. If energy around us was the same for a long time we would get immensely bored. I have listened to dull teachers and other speakers. A monotonous voice is tiresome; the same music 24 hours a day is intolerable, etc. Our moods are rarely the same: we can’t be happy or sad or moody or elated forever. It would make us truly mad.
One of my lovely clients in Canada made me aware of the subject of how to raise our vibrations. I thought it was a very interesting fact to consider. Do we raise our own vibrations or do we tune in to various other vibrations? I would say yes to both, but we don’t do it always at the same time. We are not at all times with the identical emotion in our hearts. If we were, we would undeniably be bad company to others and appear as an unacceptable person. Change is what makes life interesting, exciting and purposeful. We need and want change in us, in others, in events. How would we see options, possibilities, and potential outcomes if we did not have a choice or the ability to change certain things? If everything is the same, what choice is there? We love choosing, making our mind up, ponder the possibilities and taking time with a decision. Change involves energy. Vibrations are energy. A lot is in our hands with raising and lowering vibrations, similar to what we do with our voice. A good scream can be helpful and ground us. There is a beautiful and famous painting about that (Edvard Munch: The Sceam). Silence on the other hand can be beautiful music and murmuring a special treat. You get my point, don’t you?
Changing our energy will change our relationships. It raises or lowers vibrations in us and others. I know from experience that it is pointless to wait for the other to take a first step in any given situation. I also know that when I take the next step the other will see me and adapt his or her step. What is this telling us? It follows that if I change, the other will change. So, my question to you is: why wait until someone else changes something that I want changed? If I know what I want, then I should go about implementing that change. The other person will change without any doubt whatsoever. This is also a good recipe for ending the blame game, but you have already understood and practised that.
For many of us it is often easier to play with our own vibrations rather than adapting to vibrations outside of us. The latter is easier for sensitive people, for psychics or those of us with a lot of life experience. However, it is certain that everyone, absolutely everyone can do it or can learn it. I will prove this to you when I have set up my workshops teaching clairvoyance. I am aware that many of you are waiting for this. I have been asked many times and I apologise for not having done it earlier in Australia. I think it will be a good seminar to take around the world. I love the idea of introducing many motivated people around the globe to finer and unexperienced energies. I will need your help with the organising of it in the different locations. I trust a hundred percent this help will be granted and I am immensely thankful in advance. It’s always fantastic to work with you and I look forward to some more.

The story for this Newsletter is called: Feel The Music.
It’s a very inspirational essay about doing what you want to do when you think you can’t. The main character in the story uses her inner power to accomplish what most people think is near impossible regardless of her deafness. She saw no limits and didn’t let other people’s negativity her own positive attitude. I trust this story is motivational to you. It helps us to set our goals and aspirations high. The only limits are those that are self imposed.
She was sitting in the audience at a recent graduation ceremony at Virginia Commonwealth University. They were playing her composition, of "Hide and Seek." Like thousands of other graduates for advanced music degrees she had to write several good and acceptable pieces of music. After the composition was finished there was great applause. The composer however could hear neither the applause nor the music, for she is profoundly deaf. On that day she had reached one of her major goals, a Masters degree in Music Composition.
Tammie Willis lost her hearing after being severely assaulted in her home. At first she was very depressed over the loss of her hearing. However, she was motivated and inspired by the story of Ludwig Van Beethoven who had written many of his compositions after he had gone deaf. So Tammie decided to study music. She said, "I started studying music because I really, really didn't like the silence I was living in and wanted to find some way to acknowledge, appreciate or be aware of sound."
Beethoven lost his hearing after several years as a successful musician. Ms. Willis on the other hand had to construct a whole new sense of music based on the vibrations she can feel using powerful hearing aids. "I have no functional hearing. I wear the hearing aids and they do provide me with sound but they but they amplify sound so I feel a vibration on my eardrum. I started studying music and that's when I discovered I could feel the vibrations on my eardrums and that there were patterns to them, things that I can recognize and assign a meaning to," she says.
Bill Eldridge an instructor who guided Tammie's studies said, "meaning is what music is all about. A lot of the emotional content of music comes from changes in the pitches, A-B-C-D-E-F sharp, not only the rhythms, or the sounds." He further stated, "what she's done is to some extent a great leap of imagination." Mr. Eldridge calls Tammie's pursuit of music "a heroic achievement." "Her scores reflect a critical understanding of the last hundred years of music history, he continued. She has somehow managed to write music so well even if she comes at it from different angle and has to use a whole different set of skills, but she's managed to write music that doesn't sound like whatever one imagines a deaf person's music would sound like, it holds, it definitely stands on its own, and holds its own against other composers," he says.
In order to add a part of herself to the music she has developed her own sense of how vibrations can stir musical feelings. "There are certain vibrations that I find increase tension or become very unstable and there are vibrations that feel very stable," she says. "It's how I put the stable and unstable vibrations together that seem to make things move, make the music move, make the vibrations move and change and that's really what it's about, it's about how things change." The composition of music didn't come easily and there were many frustrating times trying to put vibrations with notes on the page. "Part of the problem comes from the fact that I don't perceive individual lines of music. If you have two or more instruments performing at the same time, I can't tell what vibrations are coming from what instrument, because they all combine to form one instrument," she says.
Tammie says she feels she has filled her music with a sense of emotion, especially in the piece called "Mad Women in the Attic", a reference to a character in Charlotte Bronte's classical novel, Jane Eyre. "It's based on experience of Ms. Rochester from Jane Eyre and it's this idea that you've got this woman who's been locked in the attic," she says. "She's being locked in the attic by angels, who are people who think they are helping you, keeping you safe, but in truth, they're what's driving her insane. The only way to get rid of the angels is to kill herself." The flute represents the angels and it's a melodic line to the flute throughout the entire piece. Then you have the piano which uses a pitch set and the pitch set is D-E-A-D. At the very, very end, what I think makes it unique is that the pitch set, the piano goes from D-E-A-D to D-E-A-F," she said.
Tammie Willis says the piece is largely autobiographical. When she first began to study music, many people discouraged her from studying music because they thought she would fail. "I don't want other people dictating to me what I can and can't do. I don't want them setting my limits. Part of studying music, I went in with the idea, okay, this is going to help me identify what my limits are and through the course of my studies, I have not found any limits.." Tammie is going to continue her studies and pursue her Doctorate in Music Education. WE know she will be as successful in her pursuits as she has been in the past.
In love and light and vibration
