Greetings Openhanders,

Welcome to 2010!

"So a New Year has just begun and of course many are speculating as to what 2010 will bring? At Openhand we don't believe in prophecy because the moment shapes according to the thoughts, emotions and choices we each express in the moment. However, we can look at movements of energy and see where the trend appears to be taking us. Tuning in during meditation yesterday, I was given the knowing "Three Big Years" ahead. I have the strong feeling that 2010, 2011 and 2012 are going to be monumental in terms of the shift of planetary and human consciousness. I believe strongly that there are no better times than these to really tune in, peel back the layers of limitation and truly expand our consciousness..."

New free meditation online

As our gift to you all this New Year, we felt inspired to record a new 'Higher Guidance' meditation. It is designed to help us connect with our higher self, drawing the lighter, more connected energy down fully into our being that we may benefit from more powerful guidance in our lives. Ultimately it will help you become your higher self and live it in every moment. Click here to enjoy!!!

'Unveiling the Soul' January 30th - 31st 2010

Unveiling the Soul is a powerful two day course for people from all walks of life. In a safe and nurturing environment, we are invited to release our shackles of limitation whilst unveiling a depth of internal harmony and divine gifts of beingness we probably never dreamed possible.

In brief, the course includes:

• exploration of the profound nature of reality combining direct spiritual experience with grounded scientific understanding
• self realisation, guided meditations with group and individual interaction
• in-depth exploration of the authentic nature of the self including the absolute, the soul, our chakra system and bodily vehicles of expression
• energy processing to release internal blockages and dissolve limiting, conditioned behaviours
• attunement meditations to realign with Universal Life Energy, our destined way of being and our unique pathway in life

...and finally some food for though on unconditional Love

"Is it possible for the rose to say,
'I will give my fragrance to the good people who smell me,
but I will withhold it from the bad?'
Or is it possible for the lamp to say,
'I will give my light to the good people in this room,
but I will withhold it from the evil people'?
Or can a tree say,
'I'll give my shade to the good people who rest under me,
but I will withhold it from the bad'?"
Anthony De Mello, 1931-1987

"Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space.
It does not seek anything in return;
it asks not whether you are friend or foe.
It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished."
Michael Strassfeld

"The sun, with all those plants revolving around it and dependent upon it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do."
Galileo

We look forward to hearing from you in 2010.
Keep shining!

In Love and Light

Chris and Trinity Bourne
