Visit my web site: CateMackenzie.com Newsletter A vision of Love I am writing to you about visioning a new life, this includes visioning for yourself, your family, your work and your community. It includes visioning for the animals and the trees, the water, the air and the plants. Visioning is so powerful that we literally can create from what we vision. Becoming Enlightened is to realise the level and the responsibility of being an aware and conscious human being. If you could realise how powerful you and your intentions are then you could create on such a deep healing level and transform the world around you. As you may know I am teaching at www.alchemythecentre.co.uk on 22nd Aug 2-5 pm £25 to commit to your soul and your soul purpose and then off to Spain 26th Sep to 3rd Oct to www.cortijo-romero.co.uk to “Let Love in”. And back on the 3rd Oct to celebrate “What is Love?” at www.londonfestivaloftantra.com (I’ll be on at 6pm) £55 if you book online before the date. This is a beautiful festival with flowers, dance, music and talks and is definitely worth coming to.
Commitment! I feel that life is ultimately a business contract with the Divine! I do believe that we are born with our souls purpose and intention written into our hearts and it is as we become conscious and self-realise that we know who we are and what we are meant to do. This is a journey of “seeing” who we really are and allowing ourselves to follow our path. I now feel that if we commit to being who we really are and to our soul’s purpose then we can allow God’s light to shine through us and in us. So if we decide to become conscious of our contract with the divine then God can know him/herself through our creativity. In this way to not live our creative path and to not live our soul’s truth is to reject intimate connection with the divine. To commit to one’s path is to commit to love and to oneself and ultimately God. In this way to love is to fully be yourself and allow your gifts out onto the earth! Vision!
Visioning for yourself What would be a beautiful life for you? Do not worry about the content. Start with the qualities and the feelings. What do you really want your life to be like and to feel like? To start to co-create your life is to begin to become a self-realised being. When you become conscious of who you really are and what you really want then you can stop reacting to life and the stories you have built up and start responding to life and understanding how you are part of the creative process. To begin with it is important to appreciate yourself and to start to “Know” who you are and what you have to offer the world. You are deeply special and gifted and you have great possibilities inside you which are waiting to unfold. The key is to open up to your deep wishes. Compliment yourself! So firstly you need to acknowledge what is great and fantastic about you. This can be hard at first, if you are not used to it, but after a while it can become fun. Imagine you are complimenting a friend (and if you find that hard then I would recommend starting to compliment some friends- start with their outfit or their hair then their character) and then start to compliment yourself- "I really am so beautiful/brilliant/great!" If you can start saying this over in your mind you will really begin to feel very positive (give it a go you’ll see). Also if you keep repeating it you may find others say it back to you- it works it really does! What do you love? Then you need to imagine what you would really love or how you would really like to live. Firstly imagine how you would really like to feel. What qualities would you like to feel? For example could it be Joy, peace, love, clarity, surrender, safety, Trust? Allow yourself to contemplate the feelings you want in this perfect life. Then relax and imagine what you really want. I have been imagining having a big white home with a workshop space in it. Amazingly on Saturday I worked in a beautiful old house called The Angel House which is a place where people live and workshops are run there. I worked in an extraordinary regency room overlooking the sea in Brighton and a beautiful statue of an angel. It felt very special. So I am now getting more of a sense of this place with workshop space and having seen somewhere with one it is feeling like a possibility that I might find one for me to live in! The Matrix! I have told many visioning stories in the past but one of my best ones is about going to the Premiere of the Film Matrix number 2. They advertised in the Evening Standard that the Premiere was coming to London and since I loved the first film and Keanu Reeves I knew in my soul that I wanted to go to the Premiere. I sat down with my Mum and asked her if we could light a candle and say a prayer for me to go to it. She laughed a little (as I had no realistic way of going and no link to the film) but agreed and we lit a candle and said a prayer asking that I may go. I also did not feel that I had the right clothes to wear to go but I still had a strong feeling to go. Possibilities! That weekend I got a phone call from the Christian Louboutin shop in Knightsbridge asking me to go in. I had lent them some heart paintings which they had up in their windows. I went in and they said “We are so grateful to you for lending us your paintings we have decided to give you a pair of shoes”. I was amazed and overjoyed as, like all good fairytales, if you have the shoes you can go to the ball and somehow I knew I would go to the Premiere! On the Monday I rang anyone I knew connected with acting and films but to no avail, no one had any link. That night I was invited to a dinner for young artists. I was not in the mood and had to be persuaded to go. There were about 40 people, at the drinks I noticed this man then at the dinner I was put next to him. We had perfectly nice chats but nothing out of the ordinary then near the end of the night he said “I am going to the Matrix Premiere on Wednesday!” and I said “Take me with you!” and he said “I’ll see what I can do!” The red carpet! The next couple of days I saw myself walking down a red carpet in Leicester Sq. On the day my phone rang, one of his colleagues had dropped out and he asked if I would like to take their place “Yuh Huh” I thought and off I went in my Louboutin shoes, black dress and red beaded bag. We were sat near all the stars on the balcony and I could not see the film I was so excited and so buzzing! So begin to let yourself vision! You do not need to know how it will come or what the content is you can just start to vision what you want. And really enjoy your visioning! You can vision a house, a partner, children, being slimmer whatever it is you really want. Start with the feelings and the qualities and then allow that to grow. If you want to write a book vision it first- the words and content will appear as you spend time visioning. Visioning for the Earth! Earth is an anagram of Heart. The Earth is a beautiful Heart and as such is full of love and responds to being loved! We are lucky to live on this beautiful planet and we can also vision for her and about her and send her loving rays! According to Alberto Villodo, the Shaman, there are many Shamans around the world who spend time visioning for the planet. They vision pure water, lush vegetation, the seas full of life and animals living wild and free. We too can vision for the earth and include seeing children being brought up with love, conscious relationships, communities and families coming into harmony and truth and peace on the earth. Imagine if we could all send those vibrations out each day what that would create? I work with several groups each week and we send out love as part of our practice and part of our dance. Since we are all love we can all reach out in this way. I wish you all love.

Cate August 09 Opening to a new vision You are an incredible healer and you help people to open the doors to their hearts. Open your heart Tips: Listen here to An Open Your Heart Meditation (7 min) 2 Plan your life. Write a plan of how you want your working life and your leisure life to look like. How do you want your week, your month and your year to be. How do you want to feel in your life? If you were really in charge of your life and it was just as you wanted it to be, what would that be like. 3 Think about your year ahead and what soul intentions would you like for the year. Would you like peace, love, clarity, harmony, surrender, soulful love, soul connection, forgiveness and joy? Allow yourself to really contemplate what qualities you would like for the year. 4 Wake up each day, put your hands on your heart and start to make your relationship with your heart. Ask your heart who you are and what your purpose is. Your heart holds all the mysteries and wisdoms of who you really are. And as you listen to your heart you can find out your deep wisdoms. Vision your day as you lie in bed feeling into how you would like the day to be and imagining a beautiful day. 5 Notice if you over doing or under doing life, notice when you are pushing yourself too hard and pull back in to yourself and make an intention to become present. Coaching How about going for some elite life coaching. Six to twelve sessions to connect to your authentic self, to feel more confident, more loving and to create the life of your dreams. £60 per session.

I see people flourish grow their dreams, create businesses. partnerships and relationships as they commit to themselves and what they want. If you are prepared to make that commitment why not come an see me for an initial appointment and see what you can improve in your life! "So I decided to open my heart to the possibility of having it all, which is what we all deserve and what Cate’s workshops encourage. But how was I supposed to make that happen when my confidence was at rock bottom? I liked Cate and I trusted her. She has a warmth about her that makes her almost shine. I decided to go for some one-on-one coaching with Cate. I figured if I had a broken car I would take it to a mecha, and I didn’t want to ignore my problems any more. I wanted fixing. Whatever she asked me I answered truthfully. I knew there was no hiding. Some of the answers were a shock but I suppose nobody had ever asked me such soul searching questions before. And saying out loud made it clearer and better somehow I left feeling so alive I was electric. I didn’t know what was going to happen or how to change things but somehow Cate had given me the invisible tools. A few weeks later I started working on another acting job. And there he was, the man I’d been looking for. Kind, bright, sexy, everything I’d ever wanted. And he wanted me. It’s been a year and a half now. We are married and I am expecting our first child. I don’t think I would have ever met him without Cate’s help. She has a way of making you feel safe and proud of who you are but also able to change and become a better version. I think she is truly magical. She helped me to see that the only person stopping me getting what I really wanted was myself."
