About AnneI was born into a world without computers, a world where only a few of the westerners in the privileged west possessed televisions, telephones, fridges, and cars. I was born into a world where people with scoliosis were bent double and could never hold their faces to the sky, a world where central heating was almost unheard of and Jack Frost left his icy patterns on the inside of the winter windows. I was born into a world where the seasons were all different and you never got summer flowers in December in a Scottish garden, a world where you never found a wild bird’s eggshell underfoot in November, and a world where global warming and the phenomenal increase in extreme weather and volcanic and earthquake activity was in its infancy and yet to be understood as something which is happening throughout our entire solar system. I was born in a house behind a sea wall. Apart from a few years in my teens I have never lived more than a few miles from the shore and the hills. I was raised in the Highlands of Scotland and spent a great deal of time outside on the land because my father was a mountaineer. I had contact experiences around the age of five. Then later, when I was still a girl in short socks, I found myself making strange thrilling sounds and experienced wonderful sweet high energies around me. Those sounds freaked my mother out and I stopped. It was years later before I realised that these had been Hathor energies and Hathor sounds coming through on my voice. My father used to say I lived life like there was no tomorrow. I crammed a lot in. I was into singing. I was into theatre. I was active in the women’s liberation movement and into revolutionary politics. I’m an indigo – when I was a child I had the indigo signatures; I did feel like royalty and I always felt and knew I was greatly protected. There are different types of indigos. I am the kind that challenges the status quo and the kind that came in to tear down the old structures to create the space for the new. I spent a lot of my time and energy intending to change consciousness around how we behave towards each other and organise ourselves upon Terra. I wanted a world where all the resources are shared, where we understand that we are one human species with one amazingly abundant planet and everything is interconnected, a world where every human being has their basic survival needs continuously met and supplied. That has not changed. Back in the 1980s I understood that we were at a critical point in our evolution. We could either nuke the planet and destroy life, or we could change by sharing everything and that would enable a huge leap forward of human creativity and understandings. Nowadays we don’t need nuclear devastation to destroy life because we have arrived at a point where the way in which we pollute and exploit Terra means we are destroying our biosphere and the life upon it. I still work for sharing and unity consciousness except now the form is different. I concentrate on working with sound and subtle energies and accessing more of the reality through expanded consciousness. I experientially understand that what one person does to themself, they do to the whole. So if you are reading this, thinking your life is not important, and wondering what your purpose is, you, Reader, could be the one person, who by changing yourself, tips our mass consciousness into unconditional love and respect for All Life, everywhere. That’s how important you and the choices you make are. If you want the world to change, start with yourself. My vision for life here on Terra is that every child is cared for by kind, wise people, sleeps in a safe, clean bed, drinks clean water and eats nutritious food, wears appropriate clothing for cover, comfort and climate, and has an education balancing and developing both the right and left brains; that our planet is clean and healthy and without toxic traces of mankind, that all living creatures and plants are treated with respect and love, and that the Sacred Elements and the life they support are held in reverence; that we live together harmoniously, peacefully, with consideration, cooperation and acceptance.I like astrology, researching information on our amazing planet, potential galactic contact, living in the British Isles because the energies in the land are so wonderful and the land is so beautiful and amazing my heart becomes real soft and wide open just looking at it. I like gardening, walking upon the land, the sea and rivers and water flowing. I like the wind and I like the rain and I really like it when it snows and everything becomes white and still and quiet. I like the sun and I like looking at the sun, meditating, feeding the birds in my garden, working with my hands, my own space, watching movies, movies with subtitles. I like that my drawing of the Flower of Life grid reveals I hold the templates of completion within me; also that in the traditional Long Count of the Mayan Calendar I am an Akbal 13 – and the 13thtone is the tone of completion. I like to think there is a possibility of completion in this incarnation; that in my astrology there is a lot of stuff emphasising the part spirituality plays in my life. I was born in the time of Virgo with Virgo rising on the horizon at the moment of my birth. That means that I am a double Virgo, the sign of the healer. I like the healing work I facilitate. I like sharing my understandings and knowledge. I like the people I work with.I like my family, my friends, my neighbour, my home and being upon the Earth in a human body. I don’t like that all the experiences I have had and have learned from may be consigned to unconsciousness if and when I reincarnate. I like the idea that I can have a conscious death and remember all the heavy stuff so I can avoid it next time around. I like recognising when the opportunity arises for me to repeat patterns of behaviour or relationship which have not served me in the past and I can avoid them. I liked the Taoist training I had with Mark Caldwell who created, and closed, the short-lived Terton Institute. It was a marvellous training firstly learning how to clear and clean my own energies and then learning how to connect and work with the consciousness of another human being to raise the vibration and clarity of their subtle energies. I loved the meditation work and how it fitted in with every aspect of the Hathor understanding of the Ascension spiral - especially our relationship with the Sacred Elements. One of the big things I experientially got through the physical meditations was realising the state of beingness. Springing from that is liking to be present and disliking having my life pegged down. It means I do not like to plan far ahead. I like solitude and my own space and time to simply be as I process and contemplate. It’s internal and takes time and space and the energy of stillness. So sometimes I am still and quiet. And then that transforms into a lot of activity and great busyness! And then I like the space to be still and quiet again.I like to work with energy and I liked the sound healing training I had with Tom Kenyon which brought the Hathor energies back into my life. I like the people I meet through the work I do and I especially like working with sound and energy. I like that there is no end to learning about energy and consciousness and I like that sound gets into very hard to reach places. I like the energies which come in on the sound frequencies of the human voice.I like the way Mother Earth and the Sacred Elements respond to the sound frequencies of love and appreciation. And I think there cannot be a more exquisitely beautiful and diverse planet in our universe than Terra.
