Introduction
and a Vision for the Season
Hi everyone,
Well,
it’s that crazy end of the year time so I wanted to take this
opportunity to thank all our friends and supporters and wish you
all a good holiday season and to send out a vision of rain for Australia,
green grass, gentle temperatures, peace, love, harmony and respect
for Mother Earth and all the elements. Also a vision that the pounds
are quiet this Christmas and New Year. I “see” people
taking responsibility for their animal companions and all dogs,
cats and horses safe and deeply loved. Please join me in visualising
love for all creatures great and small and a humanity with an attitude
of gratitude and compassionate caring. This is the dream. Let’s
dream it awake. Aho.
Water
Celebration
Now and Especially Dec 19, 20, and 21
Wanted
at least 100 people for water experiment!
I
don’t know what it’s like in your part of the world,
but people around here are creating a huge group consciousness of
drought. They’re always talking about it!! So of course it
exists! Thought creates our reality and whatever we focus on expands.
Mind you, it’s difficult not to buy into the illusion of drought
when you see the grass drying up and empty tanks. We’ve had
to start buying water again and all water is recycled, and the laundry
sent out. It’s not fun. Well I don’t mind sending out
the laundry…. However life can change in an instant.
I spoke with the rain last weekend and she was feeling unwanted
and unloved because people were pushing her away with their thoughts
of drought. When drought gets bad at our place I walk around my
property thanking and blessing the rain and visualising grass growing
and Mother Earth slaking her thirst. Andrew and I and Tamsin will
go out to the paddocks with our drums to get the spirit’s
attention, and for the sheer fun of it, and feel gratitude for the
rain, sending love and thanks, and feeling blessed. And sending
blessings to both rain and Mother Earth, We always get rain when
we do this. We also feel one with the rain. I call it becoming the
rain, and feel her with all our senses and what it is like to nourish
Mother Earth.
Christiana Rose had a lovely extension to this. She said to bless
and thank and love the abundance of water we all have whenever we
drink it or shower in it or use it in any way. Last time she sent
out an email suggesting this, it rained as well. And if you know
anything about the power of thought and Dr Emoto’s work on
water, you’ll understand the importance of this.
This week, because our land is starting to look a bit too thirsty,
Andrew and I and Tamsin made a few adjustments to our rain ceremony.
We went out with drums to the middle of the paddock and all the
horses were very interested. In fact Rupert was so interested he
butted into our circle and wanted to help. He said he could give
love to the rain. It was interesting to note that the puppies all
lay down quietly instead of hassling the horses, once Rupert was
in the circle. Obviously they had picked up on my thoughts that
I wanted the horses to help. And all the dogs wanted to help too.
In Theta healing we go to Source and Andrew asked the Creator to
give the rain the creator’s perspective on feeling loved and
embraced, as part of rain’s healing. Our feeling was that
people are praying for rain with frustration, fear, need and anger
– not love and this definitely was affecting her. We did our
usual ceremony and drummed all the way back to the house paddock,
more for the neighbour’s benefit than anything else (just
being cheeky elementals!). However the brumbies all came running
over, fascinated by the drumming and the idea of ceremony and rain.
We showed them the drums and asked them to be rain and send love
and blessings to rain as well. They liked that idea and looked at
us with new respect..
If you pray for rain, you have to be careful not to push it away.
You can’t ask for it in the future. You want to call rain
or pray rain. It’s a subtle difference. Need and desperation
will push away. If you *are* rain and if you love and bless the
water you already have, revering the abundance of water, you of
course will attract more.
To celebrate the rain, my friend Rosi Pletzer and I are encouraging
100 people to join us in a celebration of rain next Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday evenings (of course you can start now!!). Simply think
of, bless and love the water you drink and shower with – seeing
the abundance. We figure that if 100 people are together blessing
and loving rain and water, we’ll evoke the 100th monkey principle
. Just remember to see rain in perfect balance. We don’t want
floods!!
Further, I spoke to Nicole Cody who said that the Aboriginal Elders
also see the rain as feminine and that she will withhold rain when
feeling wounded or scolded, acting like a wounded child –
all thunder and lightning – and no rain. Sound familiar?
So everyone please join us in loving, embracing and nurturing the
rain and blessing and being in gratitude for the water we do have.
No more talk of droughts and rain shadows and any other “lack”
talk. In order to turn this around, Rain needs us to speak to her
gently of lush meadows and beautiful grey summer days – a
gentle time of peace and harmony in which Mother Earth in turn is
bountiful and can feed and nurture all her many children.
If you are interested in joining in the experiment, please email
me.
I’m also concerned about the group consciousness of global
warming. Native Elders around the world have a different take on
life. They will visualise the world as they want it, and dream it
awake. We feel that global warming will hurl itself at us if we
all project that it will. How can it not?
So let’s visualise a world of lush meadows and flowing streams
and rivers, of trees and gentle rain, nourishing Mother Earth so
she may nourish us., Of people living in love and harmony, of a
peaceful life…..
Billie
in Perth
What an
awesome group of people in Perth! Thank-you all for being so welcoming
and interested in furthering your work with animals. Brilliant,
all of you! The Conscious
Living Expo was, as usual, a busy and fun time, and it was wonderful
to be so embraced by press, radio and television. Just amazing.
I had a huuuge number of folks turning up to my workshop and the
response was such that I’m going back to Perth next year to
teach for two days instead of two hours. Watch this
space!
Billie
in Melbourne
Melbourne’s
workshop was full and again, a lovely, lovely, awesome group of
people advancing their knowledge of animals and the unseen world
of animal and nature spirituality. I am so blessed that the animals
bring me such wonderful friends and support. We also had fairies
pop into the courtyard to see us and people got some wonderful messages
from the plants and trees. I was initially disappointed we didn’t
make it to the park which proved much further away than I anticipated.
But the courtyard showed us that messages from spirit are everywhere
– even in an urban environment.
Billie
Teaching in 2007
I
am still settling on dates, but in 2007 I intend to teach in Perth
and Adelaide and Canberra. And I’d like to get to Brisbane
as well. I have also been invited to be a keynote speaker at the
Conscious Living Wild About Animals Expo in September in Melbourne.
If you are an animal health worker or in service to animals and
would like to participate in this expo, please email: expo@consciousliving.net.au.
Again,
watch this space!

'Billie's CD, Time of the Drum, provided me
with a guiding light into the
realm of animal communication. The track by Tribe is so beautiful,
it
assisted me to go deeper in preparation for the meditations.
The meditations are very nurturing, inspiring and fun. With
Billie's guidance I was easily able to visualise and receive
the messages in each of the 3 meditations. I recommend this
very special treat to yourself.'

“I looooove this CD”.

Seven
Days with Seven Dogs. And
finally Seven Days with Seven Dogs, our new dog-umentary is
a lovely gift for dog lovers. It’s not quite out in its
special features-printed form but you can see the short of it
here.
Jackie R of Melbourne saw a sneak preview in Melbourne and had
this to say.
“Someone in the audience said they would have loved another
hour of the film but I said I could not have taken it....my
heart would have exploded.
By the end of the doco, I felt I knew each of the dogs, so clearly
and lovingly had they been portrayed.
This exemplary documentary shows the degree of love that can
exist between two and four legged organisms/between people and
animals/between people and their foot footed friends/companions.
I found the documentary extremely moving and an inspiration
to anyone who has ever experienced the profound love of a four
legged companion.
Exquisite film making.
I was led on a journey, sharing humourous times, adversity and
ultimately the love that triumphed over all
You'll cry with laughter, you'll cry with love; the film is
THAT beautiful.
I felt privileged to have glimpsed a life so infused with love.
The love that Andrew, Billie, Tamsin and their foot footed friends
share, is deeply, deeply moving.
7 D w/ 7 D gave me a glimpse of the harmony that is possible
in a family, when pure love is the driving force.
The film leads the audience effortlessly with humour, creative
camera work and a script that made our cheeks ache from so much
smiling.
We laughed, we cried and not for a second did our eyes leave
the screen.
7D w/ 7D demonstrates the magical lifestyle that's created when
earth connection and consciousness combine with love.”

the way, for Christmas/Solstice vegan and vegetarian recipes, check

for a sincerely peaceful Christmas.
Urgent
Homes Needed for 40 Horses
Sixty horses were going to the knackers this week until Bianca stepped
in to save them. Twenty have gone to homes and forty more are looking.
It would be cool if they could go in family herds, if people can
do that. Apparently they are pony size and brumby crossed with Arab
and Welsh – so interesting. They deserve great homes. I would
love to take some here but we are financially stretched at this
moment in time. The horses are around Armidale, NSW. Many are pregnant
mares with foals at foot.
If you can help , please contact: Bianca at: news.guyraargus@ruralpress.com

Brilliant Home for Beautiful Dingo
Jasper
the Dingo
Jasper
the dingo needs a home with people who understand the great intelligence
of dingoes and their special needs. He’s a family dog and
needs exercise and stimulation. He’d make someone a very special
partner. You know who you are. This dog needs a second chance at
life. He is currently living in the Blue Mountains of NSW. Email
Billie for details.
Skidboot
Skidboot
is a wonderful story of how a “naughty” dog found his
true calling and brought joy to millions. I find that naughtiness
is usually only behaviour from bored, intelligent dogs.
See Andrew’s comments and the video on this Ballyoncree
blog entry.
On
another topic, you might also be interested in this inspirational
horse story.
Two
Chocolate Labs Safe
Two 20-month-old chocolate Labradors, who were going to be killed
because their people had split up, are apparently safe. Phew. Some
kind person has given them a home. I can’t understand why
it is OK to kill beautiful beings because their people are going
through stuff. There should be laws against it.
Ballyoncree
Animal Sanctuary News
Will
send this update in the next newsletter which will go out in the
next couple of days. The Sanctuary animals would love some Solstice
or Christmas presents!
Until
then.
With greatest love and brightest blessings
