Strawberry Vodka Sorbet

Sorbet is the perfect treat for hot sunny days. Icey-fruit cocktails are too are hard to beat too. Whether you go for the adult version or the child-friendly version, you'll love this recipe. It works great with other mixes of berries too - experiment! This strawberry sorbet is made with fresh in-season strawberries, but when strawberries are out of season, use frozen ones. If you have an ice cream maker, simply pour the prepared mixture into your machine and follow the manufacturer's instructions. If like me, you have no ice cream maker, a blender or food processor is all you need to ensure a smooth sorbet. Ingredients: 2/3 cup water or vodka 2/3 cup sugar 1kg strawberries (about 5 cups) 2 tbsp lemon juice Preparation: Stir sugar and water(or vodka) together in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar has dissolved. Bring sugar and water syrup to a boil, then remove from heat. Allow to cool down in pan for a 1/2 hour (the syrup is extremely hot) before transferring to a 1 cup container and chilling it in the refrigerator. While the syrup is cooling, hull strawberries and place them in a food processor or blender. Blend strawberries to a puree, then pour through a sieve into a medium-size bowl. Add lemon juice, and stir well. Refrigerate puree until the syrup has chilled – about 1 hour.

Develop your Psychic Ability

People frequently ask me "Can I develop my own Psychic Ability ?" and, "How can I develop my Intuition?" Everybody has intuitive gifts, and more and more people are wanting to learn to tap into that side of themselves. There's no magical answer though because it's like every other discipline out there... practice and practice and practice. Obviously, there are many ways to do practice using your intuition but here is what I find works for me. I do many readings a day, and I often wonder about my clients, whether their readings have happened yet, or whether things have unfolded as we thought they would. I often have to wait 6 or 12 months, in between seeing my clients before I can find out how their reading unfolded. I am always looking forward to feedback though, and when I get it, I make sure to look at the strengths and weaknesses of what was presented. Looking at how things unfolded, in comparison to how you 'saw' them, is the best way to hone your skills, and make sure you are asking spirit all the questions you need to on behalf of your client. Being a good Intuitive or Psychic is not just about your connection to Spirit. It's also about being a good detective and asking the right questions. If you don't ask for the right information, you may

Crossing Over

When the time comes to leave this life most of us cross over uneventfully to the other side. We are drawn to it... a place of warmth and love where familiar faces welcome us. There are some people though who struggle to make the 'crossing' . They remain here in this realm with us, living in limbo, until they finally transition. For some this is mishap, they are 'lost' or unsure of what they're supposed to be doing. For other's it's a choice they make to remain here as they do not feel ready to leave and will continue living amongst us. It is quite common to encounter spiritual entities amongst us and most people will experience being in the presence of a spirit (or ghost) a number of times. You may wish to help a spirit like this cross to the other side, and it's really something that just about everyone can safely do. Think about the spirit, set your mind to focus on them. As you reach out to them, know this - they hear you. You may not hear/feel their response, but they hear and feel and see you. The connection is real and therefore you can help them. Show them a window or gateway through which a golden light shines. Tell them to listen carefully and that small voices can be heard softly through this window.  Point to the window

Finding Real Love

Finding real love - Three Steps that will work. Feeling the love Admit it. How much are you judging them? How much do you want them to be different from the way they are? If you want to feel loved, you have to LOVE. And you have to love honestly, humbly, and fully (even when they don’t do something the way you would). There are so many different things you could find to love about the people that cross your path each day, that it's actually quite mind-blowing. Really, it is. The truth is, that every single one of them has many great qualities, lots of loveable quirks a beating heart and a sense of humour - in other words a lot to love. But if you aren't feeling ''the love'',  and you aren't feeling loved either, it's got a hell of a lot to do with the fact that you're not looking for what you can love about others. (you're seeing the ''other stuff'' - that doesn't help you!!) Don’t use this as a reason to think you’re a failure. If you blame yourself or beat yourself up for your shortcomings, that’s not finding things to love about others. Just find things to love about others. That’s it. Being the Love Yes of course you've heard this before. I know you have. I know you know, in theory at least

Distance

  Seek to understand, rather than to be understood...  Listen when spoken to. Abandon your ideals to hear those of another. Listen with your heart and mind to what is being shared and understand the person speaking. Empathy, true empathy to spirit, one another and the universe...   Amber | www.intothesoul.com

Soulmate Relationships, a Mixed Blessing …

Soulmates seem to embody the ideal state of love, and just about everyone these days is on the hunt for theirs. They want to connect with their soulmate and in this relationship find a magical intense sense of being in-love, and happy. Ironically though, soul mate relationships are the most complicated, haunting and difficult ones we will ever enter into.  These  relationships are not the idyllic 'happy' pairing of two linked souls… Rather they are the turbulent and passionate meeting of two individuals with great unresolved history (karma) between them and feelings that run so deep that the way they feel about each other, barely make sense, even to themselves. True soul mates enter our lives with an incredible attraction and chemistry. This person is someone we are irresistibly drawn towards, we cannot turn ourselves away, we cannot push them out of our hearts or our minds. They are so familiar to us, they feel so connected, and so powerfully a part of us, that we cannot cut them off. The connection resonates within our soul to the degree that our very happiness seems dependent upon them. This person may not necessarily be our ''type'' - frequently we wonder what it is about them that we fell for in the first place. They may not meet our usual requirements of a partner, or our typical physical preferences,  they may not share

Manifesting

Prayers: Lately, many people have been asking me to share prayers with them. Other's have been asking me to send them copies of prayers that they can share with their family and friends, or peacefully meditate on alone. Here are a couple of prayers, or meditations, that I like … Please feel free to change or personalise them to suit you best. It is so important to feel connected to the words you are focusing on. I recommend changing and personalising them. It seems to me that the more effort we put into personalising them, the more energy and intent and purpose they carry and therefore the more 'real' and powerful they become. So please do swap out words such as God - for Creator, Goddess or Divine Spirit, or whatever you believe. Also add to the prayer anything you wish to focus on or that is important to you. For example; 'love', 'abundance' or 'goodness' or 'miracles' … Please do let me know if you wish for other types of meditations, prayers, or rituals ... I am happy to share with you what I know. Below are the 2 prayers I mentioned earlier and immediately below I have included minor preparation for you, prior to beginning your prayers. Prepare: To prepare for prayer, breathe deeply and let the cares of the day slip away. Now visualize in

Four Cups – Tarot Insights

        Recently the Four Cups has been jumping out at me with the meaning or message "the morning after". In it I see and feel the disillusionment and discomfort the querent or his/her friends are experiencing the day after their big night out. When I see the four cups this way, I feel that the querent has awoken had that "I feel like I've been run over by a bus, what on earth did I do to myself last night?" moment. They have already woken up with a throbbing headache, perhaps a dubious stranger in their bed, and the evidence of a night's debauchery around them. They are experiencing the regret of excess - not just because of how hard they partied and the toll taken on their body. But also, because they have carelessly gone through all their party supplies. They are officially 'out of supply' and unable to top up in the foreseeable future. Therefore their pain of today is unavoidable. In this light what happened last night whilst fun doesn't quite seem worth it anymore. If The Devil or The Star turn up next to the Four Cups, when being read this way, multiply the level of debauchery significantly and look carefully for indications of legal repercussions ensuing as a result of the festivities enjoyed.

78% of them Died on board needlessly, you can help …

For the love of god people it is time to make sure that Live Export is BANNED. 78% of the animals on this vessel died on board due to horrific conditions.... Stand up for those that cant stand up for themselves - at least email your local MP or representative, there will be pre-written letters of complaint ready for you to use at Animals Australia or Ban Live Export.... the animals need you. Live Export Activists Want to End Horrific Cruelty by Mar Ex Australian Greens political party animal welfare spokesperson Tammy Franks has called for the South Australian government to take action to stop live export cruelty involving animals loaded from Port Adelaide. “The revelation that 78 per cent of the 4179 sheep that died appallingly cruel deaths from heat stress aboard a live export shipment from Australia to the Middle East were loaded in Port Adelaide is a call to action. The SA State Government must take action to end our contribution to the live export ‘ships of shame’,” Franks said. “It is clear that the only solution to end this horrific suffering is to end live exports and support the Australian domestic meat processing industry by moving to chilled box meat exports. Live exports not only export suffering, but Australian jobs offshore as well. “The heat stress that killed these 3256 sheep

Where do you go find god?

Where do you find your god? I don't mean the stuff they teach you in religious studies, I mean the profound sense that there is something greater than yourself and that you are somehow connected to it, and possibly a part of it. Where you know or feel there is a divine presence... an energy or 'intelligence' that is beyond you. Which is a funny thought in itself because how can you know that there is something that you don't know? Hmmmmm. And how is it that every race of people who have lived and that do live on this earth have come to the same conclusion? Different interpretations, but same conclusion. Do you catch yourself talking, praying, begging or bargaining with 'a higher someone'? I definitely do. It surprises me that I've done this since childhood. No one taught me to. I was firmly brought up to believe that there is no such thing as a god, and that religion was essentially rubbish. The only world that existed was the physical one around me, and that each life was a one way ticket. But it doesn't feel right to me... I'm often talking to this energy when I'm nervous or worried... I'm begging it for reassurance when I'm afraid, and I'm thanking it and questioning it at other times. I find 'my god' in

Get A New Year Reading Now!!

Are you overdue for a reading? Craving ''connection'' and guidance, or ready for a tarot top-up? Now is a great time to get your self prioritized and motivated to make the most of the year ahead. We have the opportunity to recreate ourselves and become 'new' again (at least symbolically), with the renewal of the planetary cycle. There's a blank slate in front of us all and unlimited potential for personal success, so let's make the most of it!! How do we do that? We begin with the end in mind. We make choices for ourselves and we commit to them. We keep in mind who we want to be and what we want our lives to look like. We learn to ask ourselves consistently - does this or will this move me closer to what I want to create or achieve. When we approach life this way we align ourselves powerfully. Our creativity, energy and intellectual abilities are focused. If you want an “extra helping hand” from spirit, and some insight into what the year ahead has for you, book a session with me now. It couldn’t be easier - you don’t even have to leave your armchair to get a new year reading - just book a session here. Will a relationship wow you? who is waiting around the corner ...  and are

Spirituality is good for you: 5 reasons why!!

Spirituality is good for you. Yes, truly, it's a fact. Having spiritual meaning or religious belief in your life benefits you in these ways: Health; lower occurrence of major disease - heart problems, cancer etc. Self-care; better nutritional choices and diets. Higher levels of exercise and sustained practice of stress relievers like yoga, meditation, prayer, tai-chi and similar. Emotional & psychological benefits; lower levels of depression, anxiety, sense of meaning and connection protects them from loneliness and bonds them to their community. Self-acceptance; have a sense of meaning and purpose that guides them at all times. They are more confident and active in community - driven by the idea of being of service to others, rather than anything of a self-serving nature. Reward comes from contributing, therefore they are easily able to determine their value in a positive way. Love; feeling loved by 'god' or 'creator' fills and provides the spiritually minded with an unshakeable sense of worth and value and of being loved. Therefore they give more love and draw more back into their lives. Researchers impressed by the health advantages of those with 'faith' assert that we are 'hard-wired' for spirituality.  Meaning, we are born needing to connect to a higher source. Without this connection we have to combat unnecessary self-doubts and fear, combined with a need to 'prove' our worth, that the faithful do not have. Those with faith unite in believing the human journey is a

Intention & Manifesting

The beginning of a new year provides a fitting time to reflect on life. What has passed, what 'is' and perhaps more importantly,  to plan, or imagine what will be. This process is called manifesting. Manifesting is a very powerful process, and is the core of all magic workings. In this instance, we're setting ourselves up for success, visualising a blueprint for our lives, or the year ahead, and then actively working at manifesting it throughout the year. Everything we create will be intentional and will result from the blueprint we have put together for ourselves. This is the seed or plan for the desired life we are manifesting for ourselves. Your idea, vision or plan, is the starting place that you build your future upon… from here; everything else becomes possible. There is a lot of hard work, that goes into doing this, it won't just fall in your lap, it requires a 100% commitment from you. But what could be more worthwhile that taking charge of your life path? Good questions to ask yourself are: What do you want or need in your life that you don't have now in order to be happy? Family, Marriage, Career Success, Travel, Freedom, dedication to a cause - whatever it is, write it down. How do you want or need your relationships to look and feel

How to recognise a Soulmate?

[clear] [/clear]It’s hard to use the term “soulmate”, or think about finding your soulmate, without feeling a bit like you've suddenly swallowed a whole bunch of advertising cock and bull produced to eke your dollars away from you by the world of advertising. But seriously, not only do soulmates exist; all of us have them... and to make it slightly more confusing, we have more than one out there.. And to quote “Annie” (kind of), “A life without soulmates is like a night without stars” — a very dark night indeed. But don’t think because you are single that you’ve been left out of the soulmate phenomenon. It’s limiting to think that merging with your other half must be romantic in nature. Soulmates can be lovers, friends, family, members or even pets. While the universe might help us out in our quest to find them, it’s up to us to make sure we connect with them. Soulmate relationships seem so meant to be that it’s hard to imagine ever not knowing that person once you do. But just to be safe, below are some tips for making sure your soulmates in life don’t pass you by. 1. Instant recognition. Ami met her soulmate best friend 16 years ago on the first week of college when she made a snarky joke and her friend was the only person who laughed. One
