Bunya Mountains, pic by Tatters

I spent the most delightful day today making essences for the Seven Animals, Seven Chakras program on top of the Bunya Mountains. The Bunya Mountains are an isolated section of the Great Dividing Range, covering over 25,000 acres of national park, and hosting the world’s largest natural Bunya pine forest in the world. They are reported to have been visited by various groups of Australian Aborigines when they wanted to go somewhere for healing, or when they wanted a holiday! So, when Spirit told me to go to a mountain top to make my latest Seven Animals essence, the healing Bunya Mountains seemed the perfect setting.

I packed my car with my singing bowl, purified water, bottles with brandy, glass jug for pouring, my special soundtrack of the animal’s sound to play to the essence, and other paraphernalia and headed up the mountain. On the way, I passed many cattle farms, with land that had obviously (and sadly) been cleared long ago of the magical Bunya pines, over dirt roads and cattle grids, winding my way higher and higher until the landscape suddenly changed to the breathtaking stands of enormous Bunya pines and rainforest.

I indulged in a wonderful hot pot lunch, completed by roasted bunya nuts and plunger pot of Atherton Tableland coffee, then wrapped myself in many layers of clothes, a scarf and a beanie, and found myself a nook away from other people at the base of enormous, green lichen-ed trees. I spent an hour in deep and powerful meditation while more information was passed to me by Spirit for the first course of Seven Animals, Seven Chakras in July on the Gold Coast.

All in all, a wonderful day. I love my job
