editor’s note
by Bhadrena Rose
The past is just that... passed.
Memories that we develop and hold
onto construct our life story. The power
of choice and the unprecedented fact of
change influence our every experience....
some things we can control and others
we just have to accept. Knowing the
difference is perhaps where accumulated
experience turns into wisdom, a gift that
can be found in the latter years of life.
Life is living ritual. Some rituals are
necessarily daily like personal hygiene
practices as well as the involvement in
activities such as work, house cleaning
and food management that ensure our
human existence... some are weekly
rituals like ‘bin night’, monthly events,
seasonal activities and others come
annually. Creating InJoy Magazine is
a bimonthly ritual for me... and after
twenty-six experiences I am beginning to
find the rhythm and the flow amongst all
the unknowns.
Often I have commented that gratitude is
a way of being in joy, and in this bipolar
reality... where night and day, good and
bad, man and woman create the balance
for existence... there are always two sides
to the story and we ‘re free to choose the
brighter side of life, no matter what it is.
Time is not only dictated by the clock... it
is still dictated by nature and the seasons,
by the change of day to night, by the
rhythm of your blood if you are a woman,
and the rhythm of your moods if you
are a human. Time can also be dictated
by the ritual you infuse your living
experience with. I begin by sending my
gratitude to EVERYTHING when my feet
first touch the ground, as I rise up again
for yet another day..
How do you influence your life
with ritual? What are the daily,
weekly, cyclic habits that serve
your soul and inspire your true
being to shine... or have you
forgotten and become a human
doing in a world controlled by the
tick and the tock and technology?
I love sipping warm water and
lemon juice as the sun shines
through the trees still moist from
the early morning dew... and when
this light catches the reflection
of water drops off a spider’s web
in my garden, I remember that
I am here in heaven on earth... I
am a perfect and positive pulse,
a conduit of consciousness that
serves the natural world... and it
is this simple ritual that serves me
well.
Life is to be lived, with all the ups
and the downs, the times when
we are turned inside out or when
the outside touches our inner
landscape so deeply we feel it too
much... Life is often described as
a school and many do say... the
teacher comes when the student is
ready.
Nature is our greatest teacher and
always present, we just need to
be aware and willing to take some
time to the bathe in the silence
that abounds us and immerse
our attention in the nature that
surrounds us... Not a bad job to
have to do to
sustain each
day, eh!
with love
and more
gratitude,
Bhadrena

OUR COMMUNITY OWNS BAY FM
“Community Broadcasting provides a service
which no other broadcaster can or will provide.
It responds to the needs of the community
and affirms and promotes the right to
communication.”
Gayle Cue, Founding Member of Bay FM
In the 1980s, a group of locals interested in establishing
a community radio station for the Byron Shire worked
passionately to fine tune their vision into a reality.
Opening of Bay FM office at Epicentre September 1990
Bay FM would become a reality only if it received strong
community support. In January 1988, a public meeting was
attended by many residents to gather support for a station
that would represent an independent community voice.
The goal of Bay FM was to enable the community to own,
operate and control their own broadcasting service that
represented a diversity of programming choices, a variety
of viewpoints and to generate local content.
Paul Le Bars at Bay FM’s first test broadcast
Once a committee was formed, Bay FM had to get on with
the enormous task of actually setting up a radio station. The
first step was to set up a transmitter to enable test broadcasts
and to build a station at a price tag of $70,000.
In March 1988 during the Australian Pacific Festival, Bay FM
ran its first fundraising event called the ‘Mock’ radio station.
Over 10 days Bay FM hit the airwaves from a caravan in
Railway Park where 30 broadcasters provided entertainment
and information for festival goers.
Paul Le Bars: president of Bay FM 1991 (took over from
Nancy Jo Falcone)
Two years later on Sunday April 1st 1990, Bay FM went live
with the first test transmissions operating over a week from
five different locations. At the same time, the local Brunswick
Byron Echo ran a listener survey to 10,000 residents, to ask
for feedback on the reception quality which helped in
selecting the optimum transmitter site.
Mr John Gable, Bay FM Committee Member, remarked
in September 1990, “We carried out the first of a series of
test transmissions in April and have had great support….the
main complaint we received is that people can’t yet find us
on the dial.”
Fast forward 25 years to Bay FM 99.9
This award winning community radio station has come a
long way from transmitting inside a van to broadcasting in
a shack at the old Community Centre on Butler Street, Byron
Bay.
Today Bay FM transmits from a transmitter tower at St. Helena
reaching as far as Ballina, Lismore and Murwillimbah. The
station broadcasts 24 hours a day from the Community
Centre in Johnson Street, Byron Bay - a site built entirely on
volunteer power.
Bay FM fundraiser with Tjintana (date unknown: Bay FM did
a lot of fundraising to get the station on air)
2
120 volunteers and 7 dedicated contractors give their time
to deliver an independent local voice in a media landscape
that is ruled by profit, commercialism and music charts.

“The reality is that Bay FM is operating on outdated transmission
equipment”, says Rudiger Wasser, Bay FM’s Facilities Manager.
“In the last 25 years we have seen a technological revolution,
yet we still have equipment up at the tower that is as old as the
Station. This equipment operates 24 hours a day in salty sea air
conditions. There is an urgent need to replace the gear if Bay FM
is to continue broadcasting great sound quality to our listeners.”
The other reality is that Bay FM does not receive government
funding. The station relies entirely on dollars from the community
as a non-commercial and not for profit organisation.
Bay FM’s future is exciting
Bay FM is embracing new developments in digital broadcasting
technology enabling listeners to tune in all over the world.
However, Bay FM has not lost sight of why it is still here after a
quarter century. Serving community first is paramount with
local and up to date information covering weather and State
Emergency Service updates.
Bay FM continues to support the music and arts industry and
community groups in the Northern Rivers on air and via outside
broadcasts from our own home grown festivals including Bluesfest,
Mullum Music Festival, The Writers Festival, and important local
events such as Lock the Gate Alliance at Lismore.
Last day of Test Transmission at Lighthouse on
Saturday 7th April 1990
The Show MUST go on....
Support ‘Watts Up! Fundraiser’...
For our local radio station to go on for another 25 years, Bay
FM must raise $25,000 to purchase new equipment for the
transmitter site at St
Helena.
During the month of April,
the community can “Buy a
Watt” from as little as $5.
The community can buy as
many Watts as they wish to
help Bay FM reach its goal
of 5,000 Watts. So… if one
thousand locals ‘purchase’
a donation of 5 watts each
(that’s only $25), Bay FM
would quickly reach its
target.
The community can “Buy a Watt” at bayfm.org or call
the Station (02) 6680 7999 or visit the Station, upstairs
in the Byron Community Centre.

All donations are tax deductible.

Turmeric Golden Milk
An Ancient Drink That Will Change Your Life . . .
This Ayurvedic recipe uses two wonderful spices - turmeric and black
pepper - and combines them into a healthy and delicious drink that can
be enjoyed by the whole family. Turmeric originates from India where it’s
been used for centuries in cooking, health care and as a beauty product.
Its active ingredient is called curcumin. When curcumin is combined with
black pepper its bioavailability significantly increases.
Health Benefits of Golden Milk...
It’s an antiseptic and an analgesic so it helps with pain relief.
Detoxes the liver and helps to purify the blood.
Great for joint problems, osteoarthritis & rheumatoid arthritis.
It offers a general immunity boost and provides you with a good
dose of antioxidants.
Allow the mixture to cool down and then place it in a (preferably) glass
container with an airtight lid. The paste will keep in the fridge for 2
to 3 weeks. After that it develops a metallic taste so you should avoid
consuming it.
Some people take this paste directly without making it into a milk
concoction. It’s good for pain relief. For severe pai, it’s recommended
to take half to 1 teaspoon of turmeric paste a day. The pain should
subside after 3 to 4 days (also try this anti-inflammatory and pain relief
ginger turmeric tea).
Golden Milk:
1/4 teaspoon (or a little more if you can tolerate the taste) of
turmeric paste
1 cup almond milk (you can also use organic cow’s milk or other
milk substitutes such as hemp milk, coconut milk, rice milk or oat
milk)
The RECIPE is divided into two parts. First, we’ll look at how
to make the turmeric paste. Then we’ll use the paste to make the
health-promoting golden milk.
1 teaspoon of coconut oil (you can also use sesame oil or sweet
almond oil) - get unrefined, cold pressed oil
Turmeric Paste:
Put milk and turmeric paste in a pot and cook on medium heat. Stir
constantly and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. When the drink
cools down add honey and oil(s). The oil supplies you with healthy
fats and further increases turmeric absorption. It helps with joint
lubrication and promotes cellular function.
1/2 cup of clean water
1/4 cup of turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper
Put the pan with water in it on a medium heat setting. Add turmeric and
pepper and stir well so you create a smooth paste. It takes about 7 to 9
minutes to get the paste properly cooked. If it becomes too dry you can
add some more water.
Turmeric has a very strong pigment so protect your clothes in case it
bubbles out.

Some honey
The drink has a nice golden colour, hence its name.
A very small number of people have reported allergy to turmeric. If
you’ve never eaten turmeric start with a small dose and observe the
body’s reaction.

Clean Your Car Tips...
to market to market to buy something...
1. Wash with the right suds
It’s true that dishwashing detergent can
get your car clean and shiny, but leave it
for the dishes. Yes, it removes dirt, grease
and old wax but it also strips any protective
wax coatings, exposing the vehicle to
possible nicks, scratches and stains, as well
as shortening the life of the paint. Instead
use a cleaner made for vehicles.
2. No direct sunlight
When washing your car, park it in a shaded
area. If the surface is too hot the soap
suds will dry too quickly leaving soapy
splotches and deposit stains.
3. Hose it off
Always pre-soak your car to remove, loosen
and soften heavy contaminants first.
local.

4. Wash one section at a time
Start at the roof of the car and wash the car
by sections: hood, rear, upper sections of
side, and then lastly the lower areas. After
the section is washed, rinse it off with a
hose. This prevents the soap drying on the
paint and potentially staining it.
5. Start and end with clean sponge
and bucket of soap
Hose off your sponge or mitt before resoaping in the bucket. You want to keep
your cleaning instruments clean but most
importantly if there’s any debris stuck on
the mitt it could scratch or damage the car.
6. Avoid air drying
Air-drying might seem a quick and easy
solution but it can leave watermarks or
water spots on the exterior. Use a chamois
or a soft terry cloth to dry the car.
7. Clean the inside from the top
Many people begin by shampooing the
carpet but it will just get dirty again when
you clean the upper surfaces. Start at the
top and work your way down and vacuum
the dust and dirt as you go.
8. Protect paint with wax
Wax your car to protect the paint job on the
car. It will wear off over a few months, but
in that time it will also absorb stains and
small scratches before they ruin the paint.
There are many different type of waxes on
the market but all do the same job.

Life’s too short to wake up with regrets. So love the
“people
who treat you right, forgive the ones who don’t and
believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a
chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said
it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Inviting The Balance Between
The Dark And The Light.
Many have been conditioned
by religion and the cultural
collective to see the darken
world of the night as
something to be feared
and avoided. Even in the
New Age circles there is a
distinct pull towards the
‘light practices’ and a need to
be more focused on the light
than the dark.
The dark is the mother, the intuitive
feminine. Why have so many people
forgotten that? If not embraced this can tend
to increase the shadow world from within more
and more because it is not being acknowledged
as acceptable.
Acknowledging the dark is not about turning
away from the light at all, it’s about embracing
the gifts and insights of both.
Archetypically the father is the light (conscious)
and the mother is the dark (unconscious).
Shamanism embraces the dark and the unseen
and navigates it rather than slamming the
door shut saying ‘Go back from whence you
came’. (Old biblical exorcism quote) Shamanism
seeks to see the beauty and the gifts within the
unconscious and to actively bring more light
(consciousness) to them.
Much like how the full sister moon brightens
everything at night so you are more able to see
where you’re going naturally.
When you stand face to face with your inner
darkness there is an opportunity for liberation
and insight. People who live in the artic survive
through days of darkness and days of only light.
Many say it is the never ending days of light that
tend to send people mad, not the darkness.
Darkness is an opportunity to turn within and turning within is
very important if we as a global community are going to grow in
consciousness.
The darkness offers the opportunity to learn how to
navigate within the feminine aspects of our soul. The
unknown (darkness) can be scary but when we bring
the moonlight’s reflection to it, it can offer such
profound and powerful teachings beyond judgment
and fear.
An Exercise . . .
Sit in a comfortable position. Put your left hand on
your solar plexus and your right hand on your belly.
Slow down your breathing; 5 counts in and 10 counts out.
Call on all your guardians and guides/totems to be with
you or right behind you.
Ask for what you fear to come forward.
Trust in what you see, feel or experience
Ask it what has it come to teach you.
Trust in the first thing that pops into your mind...
Then write it down (don’t judge it).
Thank the energy for its teaching.
Thank your kin and burn some sage in a figure eight pattern.
Befriend rather than fight. You will learn so much more.
Hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again…….
Blessings, Odette

Quotes from the
great Sioux Indian Chief
known as Standing Bear
that may disturb much of what you think
you know about ‘modern’ culture.
Praise, flattery, exaggerated manners
and fine, high-sounding words were
no part of Lakota politeness. Excessive
manners were put down as insincere, and
the constant talker was considered rude
and thoughtless. Conversation was never
begun at once, or in a hurried manner.
This concept of life and its relations
was humanising and gave to the
Lakota an abiding love. It filled
his being with the joy and mystery
of living; it gave him reverence
for all life; it made a place for all
things in the scheme of existence
with equal importance to all.
It was good for the skin to touch
the earth, and the old people
liked to remove their moccasins
and walk with bare feet on the
sacred earth… the old Indian still
sits upon the earth instead of
propping himself up and away
from its life giving forces. For him,
to sit or lie upon the ground is to
be able to think more deeply and
to feel more keenly. He can see
more clearly into the mysteries of
life and come closer in kinship to
other lives about him.
Children were taught that true politeness
was to be defined in actions rather than
in words. They were never allowed to pass
between the fire and the older person
or a visitor, to speak while others were
speaking, or to make fun of a crippled or
disfigured person. If a child thoughtlessly
tried to do so, a parent, in a quiet voice, Everything was possessed of

Relational Spirituality for the
Now Age: Introducing The Path of Beauty by Dr G.A. Lahood
In a nut shell Relational
Spirituality seeks intersubjective communion
with Being and Beings ...
human or non-human. It
is based on the principle
that nature or creation
is divine immanence ... a
purposeful manifestation
of indefinable and unknowable spirit. It is the quality of
our relationship with the world-as-revelation that reveals
the world as a trans-personal one of great depth, beauty
and majesty. Sensual experience: sight, hearing, touch,
aroma, taste are the figures of a divine ground.
Co-inquiry is shorthand for “collaborative transpersonal
action research into the realm of the between” ... this is
the core tool of relational spirituality.
It combines mindfulness-in-action with others, peer and
contributory spirituality, respectful dialogue, the principle
of therapeutic democracy and the spiritual practice of
co-decision making. Co-inquiry enacts a paradigm in
which the proper place of enlightenment is deemed to
be between people rather than a subjective ‘inner event’.
Co-inquiry is the communal skill of co-creating a unique
spiritual event with others so-engaged by attending to the
wellness of the between.
The Path of Beauty—is simply the poetic version of the
more theoretical relational spirituality. It is a long-term
co-inquiry that walks with care and attention between the
following two distressed poles.
1) The repressive, closed, controlling, protecting selfprocess that objectifies the world and treats persons and
the world as something to manipulate, have control over
and capitalise on. As personhood develops we realise
our vulnerability through wounding and socialisation and
move to repress this vulnerable self.
8
Here we do not meet the world in authentic
encounters rather we move to protect ourselves by
controlling the situation. This form of self-enclosure
(everyday narcissism) is in no-way truly open to
contacting the Other. It is busy
slipping out of the immediate
present experience by actualising
(or advertising) a self-image. But
actualising a self-image is not the
same as actualising an authentic
self-in-open-relation to Being and
Beings.
2) We also steer clear of the selfabandonment found in some
approaches to spiritual ‘unity’ found in some Christian,
Hindu and Buddhist doctrines. It can be an attempt to
escape our vulnerability by a triumphant merging with
the divine, by denying personhood and human needs
and becoming identified with a superior One-withouta-second. We regress to the primordial ‘uncreate’ in
an attempt to dodge our embodiment and our erotic
relationship with Being and Beings. Driven by the
realisation of our vulnerability in the face of death we
remove our selves through defensive spirituality. The
result of subjectifying the cosmos is that it removes
relationship from the world and creates an inflated
self divorced from real relating. It is yet another
sophisticated narcissistic strategy.
The Path of Beauty, practiced over time, can release
us from both poles—the repressive/controller and
the regressive/unifier. Our humanity is not to be
cast aside because the One is not complete without
us and our human-divine experience. The human
body is recollected as the divine locus of universal
consciousness.

A literary novel encompassing a variety of genres including
culture, spirituality, philosophy, initiation, ecology, politics and
healing... racy, insightful, provocative, passionate and deep.
Platypus Dreaming
infuses the mind with a new way of
“seeing”, promoting peace and right relationship through the use
of a profusion of images too powerful to be easily dismissed.
I’m seeking to raise $4,000 through crowd funding on the Indiegogo
Crowd Funding platform to bring this ‘way of seeing’ to a world-wide
audience, promoting it through International Book Fairs, located in
London, Frankfurt, New York, Beijing and Mexico (Guadeloupe).
You will find ancient understandings at the heart of Platypus
Dreaming... a prophecy depicting a peaceful yet radical departure
from humanity’s current dominating role in life.

bamboo groves, a plant nursery and
One of the best kept secrets of Byron ponds dotted with lotus flowers.
Shire is now entering a new phase in its
transformational journey evolving planthuman culture and the nurturing of
harmonic relationships. Starseed Gardens
combines eco-systems of perpetual renewal,
alternative bio-technologies, permaculture,
and thriving community.
The Lotus perfectly exemplifies the spirit
and philosophy of Starseed Gardens. In a
similar fashion to the beautiful flower that
emerges from the depth and darkness of
muck and mud to its ethereal beauty, the
Starseed vision has radically transformed
a previously abandoned industrial piggery
into an abundant permaculture garden
community, food forest, nursery and
blossoming “Earth School”.
The Vision came to Dan Schreiber ten years
ago and he subsequently discovered this 35
acres with six enormous pig sheds, machine
shops, and a granary, amounting to over
four thousand square metres under roof,
along with an elaborate water management
system including four dams — all just five
minutes from downtown Byron Bay.
How to undertake such an enormous
and complex regenerative project and
how to go about turning an industrial pig
farm into what Starseed Gardens is today
followed a clear vision to maximize the
potential through “upcycling” materials and
transforming buildings as well as soil and
the land itself into “higher use”
The Right People are essential to perform
visionary work required. Starseed Gardens
is a dedicated community with builders,
gardeners, designers, teachers, media types,
catering staff and event organiers.
The Land was once a factory farm, and a
blight on the landscape, now it is an idyllic
Dan and Phil with a magnificent Passion Flower.
Amongst the Beauty Starseed Gardens
offers a wide range of courses, workshops,
skill-sharing and musical performances
around the property year round. In his
role as program director, Philip Oulton
continues to develop a great network of
talented speakers, wellness practioners,
permaculturalists and natural builders who
now regularly both host and attend events
on the property. The “curriculum” features
cutting edge research in fermentation,
bio-architecture, wellness, plant medicine
and permaculture. A maker space is under
development for 2015.
Attend a workshop, musical performance,
aerial yoga class or sample some Oolong
Tea in the tranquil Lotus Teahouse and
have a look around.
Tours of the property are available by

Starseed Gardens is located at

approach to the health of the mouth, teeth and gums

written by Dr Jon
The new age of Dentistry is here...
Regeneration is possible with energy and
consciousness. I am offering an opportunity to
experience and learn the foundation of dentistry as
it relates to the body mind spirit connection. Holistic
Dentistry is far more than white fillings or replacing
amalgam fillings and removing root canals. While
these procedures may be part of positive whole
body healing, they do not necessarily address the
underlying physical and metaphysical stress patterns
that underpin many general health and dental
health problems.
It has always been a goal of mine to empower
people to be able to provide a service that
compliments the clinical dental work. Through this
new body of work I have developed I am offering
a whole health approach to dental well being that
enables anyone, practitioner or individual with the
inclination and desire to take responsibility for their
experience and learn to how to regenerate and heal
their physical body.
It does not necessarily replace the need for dental
work but rather compliments dentistry and in an
ideal sense reduces the need for dental intervention.

You Are Not Alone . . .
Many people are now awakening to the concept that we
are not humans having spiritual experiences, but we are in
essence spirit beings having a human experience. Various
notable people have been quoted as saying “You are not a
body that has a soul—you are a soul that has a body”. As a
scientist and former skeptic, I didn’t come to this conclusion
easily myself, but now the awareness of soul is such an integral
part of how I live my life—and how I see the world—how I
navigated the world without this awareness is becoming a
distant memory.
Although our body is temporary—our soul is eternal and
immortal. As souls we agree to incarnate as a human for
particular lessons and experiences that this physical form
offers. By many accounts, Earth is one of the most challenging
places to live in the Universe. Earth is a three-dimensional
experience, and as such the energy here is incredibly dense
or ‘heavy’ relative to our natural state as spirit.
Life on Earth is not for the faint-hearted! One of my favourite
teachers, channeller Lee Harris refers to Earth as “the crazy
planet”. Another much loved teacher of mine, Dolores
Cannon found that clients under regression hypnosis often
reported that Earth is one of only a few places left in the
Universe where the human inhabitants still play out violence
and destruction.
been happening since March 2012 occurred on
the 16/17th of March 2015, and we are being asked
to become a living embodiment of what we have
awakened to over the last two and a half years. The
change you wish to see in the world begins from
within but must at some point be reflected outwards
in order for us to actually see that change.
Many of us who are more sensitive and peace-loving by nature
can at times feel overwhelmed by the fear and suffering on
the planet. Since increasing sensitivity goes hand-in-hand
with awakening to our true nature as loving spirit beings, the
process of awakening can create acute feelings of isolation
and aloneness. But you are not alone . . .

Those who continue seeking to see the progression
of our collective awakening powered from the
outside will be met with the past, as our outer world
is a reflection of what and who we were and not
what we are now. Energetically, we have crossed
into new uncharted territory that is not yet reflected
by the constructs of our outer world, and the future
may seem unsure as we are literally paving the way
before us as we break new ground. We bravely walk
the new direction & allow our hearts to guide us.

From my own profound and other-worldly experiences—
as well as the information that I have researched and the
experiences of my clients undergoing regression hypnosis—I
believe that each and every one of us has a team of spirit
guides and angels willing and able to help us at any time.
But they cannot intervene—we must ask for their assistance.
And once we have asked for help we must trust that they will
always do what is best for our soul.

What Music Do You Listen
To While You Cook?
by Veet
Over many months my beloved partner, Makrand, has
been playing the ukulele in the kitchen while I cook, but
he draws the line at accompanying me on retreats to play
when I cook for clients. I have become very accustomed
to having music inspire me as I cook and I realise when I
am working away on retreat after retreat I have very little
music to listen to, and I really feel the difference.
Sometimes the beauties who work with me put their
music on and sometimes it serves and at others it is a bit
too frantic while I cook, so I am looking for more music
suggestions that will suit my style of cooking.
What tunes do you like to put on when you are cooking?
Some of the suggestions posted on my blog may also
inspire you too...
My suggestion is ‘Sweet Surrender’ a CD by a wonderful
local musician - Kunda Nettlebeck. I usually choose to put
this on when I am making something light and upbeat.
Other wonderful suggestions since posting my blog post
have included … the top 40 and any nostalgic music from
the past … and other ranged from Italian Opera to Pink
Floyd. Any type of passionate music including VaPensiero
by Nambuco was recommended and my beloved cousin
who I haven’t seen for almost three decades informed me
she almost chopped her finger off dancing and cooking
to Two Tribes Go To War. Others posted Blondie and Frank
Sinatra and our home-grown Love Is In The Air by John Paul
Young … Tribal music … Rhythm and Blues and anything
that makes you feel sultry and sexy (yes please, ooh la la).
Much devotional music was also recommended, as was
Miles Davies … and who remembers Dr Hook. MC Yogi got
a mention and I must say this is a favourite in the Veet’s
Cuisine kitchen, especially Elephant Power when we are
trying to work our way through a massive pile of dishes.
Country Music even got acknowledged, which took me
back to my school holidays when I used to put my dad’s
Dolly Parton record on and make my lunch singing away
to ‘Jolene.’
Go to my blog page to see more… or add your favourite
music too… please leave your answers and suggestions in

Authentic Indian Cuisine

Gluten-Free Friendly and Vegan Friendly. Eat In, Take Away
and now with Alfresco Dining. Lunch-Time Specials and
Masala Dosa are available till 3pm every day. Check out
the blackboard specials with regional Indian cuisine... and
there is ample parking with Bombay To Byron nestled in
the Woolworth’s Plaza.
Bombay to Byron is a local business operated by
Rahul and Satnam, friends for a long time, and family.
They said, “After four and a half years living in this area
we were disappointed we could not find good authentic
Indian food.” Rahul explained, “My wife inspired me to open
Bombay to Byron in June 2014 because we believed this
region needed a restaurant that shared real Indian food.”
Bombay to Byron offers traditional cuisine from
different regions in India and this gives our customers the
opportunity to explore different flavours. The Masala Dosa
is popular not only because it is delicious, but you can’t
find it anywhere else in Byron. Masala Dosa is basically a
thin pancake made from fermented rice and lentil, filled
with potato and onion stuffing and served with coconut
chutney and sambar.
This is what other people have to say... Restaurant Reviews from - tripadvisor.com.au
“I loved the casual feel of the restaurant, the staff were
so helpful and courteous and the food, just out of this
world. If you love Indian, this is great - the goat curry
probably the best we’ve ever had!”
“I found the meals at Bombay delightful. The staff are
friendly and on my last trip to get take-away, I was
offered a bottle of cold water while I waited for my order
to be completed.”
“Great variety and delicious flavours. Make sure you
have the naan breads, the traditional favourites and
the regional delights. Large vegetarian options as the
owners are vegetarian too.”
”This is a small restaurant in Byron with a very cute
decor and good food. They use furniture made from
recycled wood. Service is excellent.
Bombay to Byron is located in Shop Twelve,
Woolworths Plaza Jonson Street Byron Bay

When speaking of the yoni - We are
speaking of the core of woman by Roxy
Yoni yoga is a term I made up to invite women to get in touch
their internal female energy. For each of us each day this
is different depending on where we are at in the moment
and what is needed. The yoni needs patience, tenderness,
sensitivity and an attitude of openness to what ever arises.
I see a lot of women struggle with being present, listening
and responding to the body. This is where the coming
together regularly offers a lot of support, because you can
feel how other women get in touch with themselves and it is
inspiring and encouraging just being in the space together.
As the reclamation begins, stories of denial, pain, rage,
repression societal projections of being dirty, shameful,
fearful or even disgust can be deeply identified with, and
these energies cause condensing in the cell tissues along
with numbness, painful sex, painful menstruation and
inflexibility.
Yoni yoga is a healing of all of what it is to
be a woman...
There is no nudity, genital touch or stimulation required. The
process is guided through our connection with the breath,
our internal awareness and sensitivity to our subtle energy
in the body. Orgasmic bliss is our life force energy, they are
one and the same. Allowing this energy to move through
the body has so many healing benefits and as a result the
tension falls away effortlessly, relaxation just happens.
This year is a special year as I am offering a 9-month initiation
journey for women that will include a Yoni Yoga Teacher
Training.

Living the Divine Masculine - How
to cultivate ability to heal the Feminine?
by Shantam Nityama
A disciple of Osho since
1980, Shantam Nityama
has pioneered his own
revolutionary form of
bodywork designed to take
men and women on a
journey from sex to
superconsciousness,
while healing
at the deepest
levels.
How do you teach men to become
distinguished lovers and to be able
to assist women in their healing?
There are a number of things that I communicate
to men when I begin to work with them. The first
thing is to encourage them to drop all fantasies. I
help them to see that they need to be authentic
when they are communing with a woman and that
they need to cultivate the ability in themselves to
stalk and feel her energy. Meaning anytime a man
needs to have a fantasy about some naked woman,
a fantasy about some movie star, or a fantasy about
some other woman that he would like to be with, in
order to be with the current woman, he has totally
separated himself from this woman. Whatever he
does with this particular woman will actually be
injurious to her. It will not be helpful to her as far as
her restoring herself back to wholeness.
The other thing that is very important is bringing
men to understand that when they are touching
a woman they are touching her either as a way
of promoting her well being or they are adding
insult to previous injury. And the way for them to
be clear that they are adding something through
their touch that is helpful to her is to make sure
that whenever they touch a woman with any part
of themselves, whether it be their hand, their arm,
or whatever, that they become a part of what they
are touching and all of their consciousness is in the
slightest of touches.
For example when touching with the hand, the
man must be conscious to use this experience as
a means of making sure that he is totally piercing
her with his consciousness through the hand, and
being totally present in the hand. He wants to feel,
sense and intuit the woman’s communication
Every Day 10 minute Exercise . . .
1... Lay down with left hand on the heart and the right hand on the womb.
2... Tune into the pulsing sensations in the heart, then the womb, then both simultaneously. Stay completely present with the pulsing
sensations and allow everything else to fall away.
3... While doing this exercise it is important to let the breath flow out through the mouth with the jaw relaxed open. This is crucial in
allowing the body to free itself from energies that are inhibiting bliss.

continued . . .
back to the hand so that they know there
is a resonance taking place that is moving
equally between the two of them. Through
these types of conscious interactions the
man has the ability to start to follow the
woman’s internal energy and be able to
register, in his consciousness, the most
minute movements and shifts within that
woman’s body, within her field, within her
consciousness, within her emotions, within
all different aspects of her.
Once a man has developed this capacity,
then he also has the ability when he’s
making love to her to know how to detect
the slightest tension, a tightening inside
of her womb, or whatever. He can detect
whenever he touches on a place that is the
least bit painful or that she’s apprehensive
about opening, and then through that
registry, he can in turn communicate with
the woman and ask her to breathe her way
into these places, see what they are about,
and then jointly the two of them, once
she has named it, can actively transmute
whatever it is in order to start to restore her
womb back to innocence.

“Heaven is Here -- you just have
to know how to live it. And hell too
is here, and you know perfectly well
how to live it. It is only a question
of changing your perspective,
your approach towards life. The
earth is beautiful. If you start living
its beauty, enjoying its joys you
are in paradise. If you condemn
everything, then the same earth
turns into a hell -- only for you. It
depends on you where you live,
it is a question of your own inner
transformation. It is not a change of
place, it is a change of inner space.
Live joyously, guiltlessly, live totally.
And then heaven is no more a
metaphysical concept, it is your own
experience.” OSHO

Shakti Goddesses
Some may wonder about the cultural cross-overs between Greco-Roman
forms of the sacred feminine with both the Shakti goddesses of India and
the asteroid goddesses in our astrology charts, so I thought I’d connect
some.
Lakshmi, goddess of spiritual and material abundance; Ceres/Demeter
and Venus/Aphrodite
Saraswati, goddess of learning, language, insight and sound; Pallas
Athena, Iris
Durga, warrior goddesses of inner strength, protection and power; Black
Moon, Black Madonna, Lilith, Medusa
Kali, goddess of death, birth and revolution; Black Moon, Persephone,
Ereshkigal, Medusa
Radha, goddess of romantic longing; Venus/Aphrodite and especially
Psyche
Sita, goddess of devotion and mystical submission; Moon and Juno/Hera
Lalita, yogini goddess of erotic spirituality; Hygeia, Lilith and Medusa
Bhuvaneshwari, goddess of infinite space and whose body is the
world; Moon, Ceres
Dhumavati, crone goddess and of letting go; Hekate, Persephone
One of the great gifts of the original tantric traditions of India, the goddess
traditions, is that they provide the spiritual technology to get directly in
touch with the Shakti, the sacred power of each archetype, whatever her
name, in the form of mantras, rituals, meditations and visualisations.
Extract from article by
Daniel Sowelu : www.sacredlawfirm.com.au
facing the shadow
In shamanic culture facing the shadow means confronting the
issues pushed down and away from the light.
Psychospiritual maturity is the ability to stand in the presence of
yourself and see what traumas influence your behaviour. Someone
who knows that well is consciousness researcher, writer and podcaster
James W. Jesso, author of “Decomposing the Shadow: Lessons from
the Psilocybin Mushroom”. Jesso has faced his own shadow, and come
out the other side. Join Jesso and experiential journalist Rak Razam
as they talk about the use of psilocybin as a healing modality, and the
counterpointing McKenna-flavored ‘Cosmic Mushroom’ paradigm.
Is the psychological model for psilocybin more useful for global
culture in need of spiritual healing? What about the reported ability of
psilocybin as a language catalyst? Or for neurogenesis and improving
interconnectivity in the brain? How does that affect language, syntax
and symbolism and the physiological basis of our consciousness?
If language comes from the necessity to convey information, is
our language evolving to help map the realms entheogens take us
to? Is the mycelium network connecting us to larger networks of
consciousness across space and time? For more info see: http://www.

Genre and the Zodiac by Kim Falconer
What kind of reading personality are you?
Most of us have a preference for certain kinds of books that fall into multiple genres. We also have a style of reading eclectic, focused, serial, exacting, flitting, browsing. Whatever our approach it changes over time, representing healthy
evolution. Can these preferences be related to the zodiac? Test it for yourself and see!
ARIES
: An independent reader. You like to browse for something that spontaneously lights your fire. Who cares what the
critics think? This is all about your desires. No need to hold the thrills, chills and spills. Adventure and conflict a must. Action,
SciFi, Romantic Thriller, War, Page Turners.
TAURUS: A slower pace isn’t an issue as long as there is sensuality and pleasure. Woven into the pages is a true alpha hero
and a powerful, high libido female. HEA is probably a must. Finds delight in Romance, Erotica, Memoir, Historical Fiction,
Alternate History Fantasy.
GEMINI: Must capture interest in the first sentence. No slow starts. Must also be intelligent, sharp and fresh. Bestsellers
are excellent for conversations/social gatherings. Loves a good “whodunnit”, Medical or SF Romance, Urban Fantasy, Crimeprocedural, Self-Help, Literary Fiction.
CANCER: Loves tales of the past, historical, classical, haute sensibilities - Jane Austin! But not afraid of the darker side of
fiction. Must engage the emotions. Will tolerate almost anything as long as there is a non-contrived Cook Books, Vampire,
Mystery, Paranormal. Of course Romance!
LEO: It does matter what the critics are saying and you may use reviews to guide your choices but you’ll make up your own
mind in the end! A focused reader with more traditional preferences... High Fantasy, Classical, Supernatural, Young Adult and
Children’s Books, Hero’s Journey and Time Travel.
VIRGO: Most likely has a To-Be-Read ist and sticks to it! You’re a serial reader who also makes a great reviewer. Non-Fiction
can be as enjoyable as fiction, especially Self-Help or exploring your favorite research topic. SF, Dystopia, YA, Paranormal
Romance, Magical Realism, Steam Punk!
LIBRA: You love to read what your friends are reading. It’s as fun to discuss as it is to immerse in the pages. Prefer a certain
level of refinement and sophistication. Not too hard core. HEA important. Chick Lit, Classical, Memoir, Romantic Suspense,
Faery Tale, Space Opera, Trad Fantasy.
SCORPIO: Here we have the sign that not only enjoys a trip to the underworld, it is required reading. A focused and eclectic
reader, drawn to stories with extreme emotions and experiences. Horror, Gothic, Dark Fantasy, War, Urban Fantasy, Hard SF, SF
Thriller, Erotica.
SAGITTARIUS
: The explorer into the unknown. Does like to keep up with trends and read current bestsellers (so, like
Gemini, can discuss in social situations!) Not afraid of avant guarde. All forms of SF including Alt History, Zombies, Comic
Fantasy, YA, Short Stories, Philosophy, Adventure.
CAPRICORN: One of the most pragmatic and accomplishment oriented signs in the zodiac. Loves academic or business/
finances . . . but, there is a whole imaginative and creative side here too! Drawn to Historical Fantasy/Romance, Hard SF, Drama,
History, Religious/Spiritual, Vampire.
AQUARIUS
: The most quirky and unpredictable of the signs. The read must be fast pace, full of twists and turns. You don’t
want to see the end coming! Reads traditionally for knowledge, and non-traditionally for pleasure. New Weird Fiction, Slip
Stream, Erotic Romance, SF and Fantasy Thriller.
PISCES
: This is the “everything, everywhere, all the time” reader who would probably list all genres known to human kind as
a preference. Does love a good Magical Mystery Tour! Faery Tales and Classical Murder Mysteries, Romantic Mystery, ShapeShifter, SciFi Fantasy, Poetry, genre blenders.
Do any of these ring true for you? I’d love to hear what your favorite genre is, and your sign in the zodiac.
For example, I’m a Gemini and love Urban Fantasy! Kim Falconer is a Supernatural Underground author writing
paranormal romance, urban fantasy, YA and epic science fantasy novels. Her latest release is”Blood and Water” in
Supernatural Underground: Vampires Gone Wild.

Yesterday I had a problem so I
called George, the 11 year old
next door whose bedroom looks
like Mission Control and asked
him to come over.
George clicked a couple of
buttons and solved the problem.
As he was walking away, I called
after him, ‘So, what was wrong?’
He replied, ‘It was an ID ten T
error.’
I didn’t want to appear stupid but
nonetheless inquired, ‘An ID ten
T error? What’s that, just in case I
need to fix it again.’
George grinned, ‘Haven’t you ever
heard of an ID ten T error before?
‘No,’ I replied.
‘Write it down,’ he said, ‘then I
think you’ll figure it out.’
So I wrote down... ID10T

A recognised pioneer in the history of female tattooists in Australia...
With her clientele flying in weekly from all over Australia and
further afield, we thought it was time to take a look at the unique
and distinctive work of our own local Mullumbimby tattoo artist
Tatu Lu . . .
While Lou’s work does incorporate a variety of tattoo subject
matter, her style is renowned for specialising in tattooing
Australian native flora and fauna and she is widely recognised
for also working directly with Indigenous Australians, in
particular tattooing their aboriginal totems.
Lou has always had an interest in Australian flora and fauna
and has completed a degree in Australian history, fine arts and
anthropology (Aboriginal Studies). Her professional tattooing
career spans over two decades, and in recent years she has been
interviewed about her distinctive work by Living Black SBS, ABC
Radio National, ABC Canberra, our own local radio station Bay FM
and Der Spiegel TV Germany. Lou’s work has also been featured
in numerous magazines and publications world-wide, and last
year she was acknowledge as a pioneer in ‘Painted Ladies’, which
is a book by Clare Miles that explores the history of female tattooists
in Australia.
This month another book containing Lou’s work, alongside one
hundred other internationally acclaimed tattoo artists, including Ed
Hardy, will be released at the New York Tattoo Convention. This
book is produced by Edition Reuss in Germany (leaders in world
tattoo art books)... and Tatu Lu says, “This is a great honour to
be recognised and asked by Edition Reuss to take part in such
a respected compilation of exceptional tattoo artists from around
the globe.”.
Tatu Lu announces her new studio at 78 Dalley Street
in Mullumbimby (just around the corner from where she was)
