Thank You again, I did listen again on ustream to my reading, while on the
line, there were some things that i didn't hear on air. because of a drop in the
skype stream. Ruth was even more on than I thought.

She did take care of me when she was alive and I was a child. it was good
and I will look in to that ring!

A Cook Book A Day

2008-02-23T14:16:00.002+11:00

Hi Everyone,

This has been an interesting week with the full moon coming into force this Thursday 21st Feb - There seems to have been a very strong reaction to the moons fully waxed state this week - even to the point where I witnessed police cars zooming up and down our usually quiet street in pursuit of someone who had gone a bit wacky.

I have also had a busy time with lots of personal sessions interspersed with home duties and entertaining friends and family.

A quirky pattern began to emerge on the evening prior to full Moon - Wednesday night. We were in the company of delightful friends who brought along a gift for me - a wonderful cook book. I was delighted, as my friends knew I would be - my collection of cookbooks is second to none and they all get a thorough workout.

The following day my dear daughter went to some Sydney markets and returned home with ... guess what? another new cookbook for me!

I was very happy with this cookbook too and gave not another thought to the Universal principle and my own belief system that states that when something happens twice it will surely happen a third time.

Sure enough, the very next day I was doing my usual weekly volunteer work when a friend rushed off to a cupboard and re-emerged with a gift for me - yep that's right - the THIRD cook book in three days!

Whenever patterns of three become evident in my life I do try and tune into the significance of the pattern and its psycho-spiritual correspondence for me. So far I have realised that this pattern has many levels of meaning.

Firstly we are currently in the process of creating a new kitchen... so I shall have need of these books on the physical level.

Secondly the cookbooks are inspiration for me and an honouring of the way I like to nurture and feed my family and friends.

Thirdly, my feeling is that my thoughts on creating a cook book of my own have always been pushed onto the back burner with all the other things I have going on - but now I realise it is part of the work for me to do in the future and I am inspired to go further along this path.

There are other correspondences that I am still mulling over but wanted to share with you how life tends to give me, and indeed us all , these gifts of patterns all the time and how they may be represented.

Perhaps you too have had incidents of "threes" in your life..
How about sharing them with us on the blog?

Until next time,

Blessings,
Ruthie.

Feedback from some of our listeners

Happy New Year Everyone and Happy New Energy.

2008-01-01T23:23:00.001+11:00

Well the true beginning of the Global 1 energy is upon us and has already been felt today – the 1st January 2008 – in many ways. This fresh new beginning may have manifested for many in new things tried, friendships forged, different social outings in novel or new places and so forth.

Perhaps, like me, you have felt a rush of happiness and excitement which this year brings and the promise of more wondrous things in store for us all as a planet this year.
As we begin our year, let us give thanks for the love we share with family and friends and those who accompany us on our journey.

May this year bring each of you much peace, happiness, good health, prosperity, wisdom and love.

May you all live your passion and walk the path of destiny that brings you joy.

I look forward our continuing communication through this website and our podcasts.

May all the Blessings of the Divine shine upon you and yours.

Psychic seeks message from Steve Irwin

2007-12-27T21:35:00.000+11:00

TERRI Irwin says she is "open" to receiving a message from the spirit of her late husband, Croc Hunter Steve, when an American psychic medium visits Australia Zoo next month.

Mrs Irwin, 43, told The Sunday Mail yesterday she sensed Steve was still with her and had "great faith" that his spirit was still around.

International medium John Edward, who rose to international stardom with his television show Crossing Over, will appear in the Sunshine Coast zoo's Crocoseum on January 5 as part of a summer entertainment program.

Edward claims to use his abilities to connect people with their loved ones who have passed away.

Mrs Irwin said Steve had been a personal friend of Edward for years.

She said it was on his first visit to Australia Zoo, about five years ago, that the psychic medium realised his ability to communicate with animals, a story Mrs Irwin has written about in her recently released book My Steve.

"He's a fair-dinkum bloke. It's been a real privilege to know him," she said of Edward.

"He loves Australia and he's been such a supporter of our family and good friend since we lost Steve.

"I've invited everyone who's a sceptic (to the show on January 5), because you can't leave after seeing what John does without having some appreciation for his work.

"He gives them peace of mind. He has a real gift."

Mrs Irwin said her Christian upbringing meant she had "great faith that once a person dies their spirit is still around".

"I know (Steve's) gone but in some way he is still here. I feel him, I sense him," she said. "And I think that's very nice and comforting.

"Everyone who comes to Australia Zoo also has that sense and it's not creepy . . . it's comforting.

"If Steve had a message for me I would be open to it and if he has a message for all of us, then January 5 (during Edward's show) would be very good for it."

Mrs Irwin said the Summer Down Under program was Edward's idea and aimed to promote animal conservation issues to a broader audience by appealing to people through several performers.

Steve's best mate Wes Mannion has also spoken of a deep connection he still has with Steve.

Mr Mannion said in August he feels Steve is still with him.

"It's just so strong," he said. You make a decision and you just feel someone is there. It's not a weird thing like a pat on the shoulder and a whisper in your ear.

"You just feel them there and you feel as if you're two people rather than one."

Australian Idol pop singer Dean Geyer kicked off the series yesterday with a performance in the Crocoseum, a stadium that Steve designed and built for his live croc feeding shows.

The Crocoseum seats 5000 people and tickets for the John Edward show there cost $90 for adults.

Pop sisters The Veronicas, John Williamson, Steady Eddie, Tripod and Bindi and the Crocmen will also perform in coming weeks.

Thanks to everyone who has sent us messages over the last few weeks, it's nice to be in conversation with our listeners and finding out what you like (and dislike) about the show. Before I tell you too much about this episode a few shoutouts to some people we've been talking to this week.

Firstly, to Ailuros who writes the One Gypsy blog. She's currently resting-up with a bad back after slipping carrying a load of washing. She's a regular listener to the podcast and we send her lots of love and healing... this episode is early so that you can listen to it while you're getting better Ailuros!

Secondly, to DarkAz (also known as John) over at The Pod Lounge at http://www.thepodlounge.com.au/ - if you haven't checked out this site it's worth a look.

A shout out to you my friend, and thanks for listening, and the great work you're doing to help promote podcasting.

All Hallow's Eve cakes are easy to make and are a great alternative way to remember loved ones who have passed over at All Hallow's Eve. They also make a great alternative to sweets and chocolates for trick-or-treating. Here's the recipe and the ritual.

GATHER

½ cup (120 millilitres) vegetable oil
112 grms unsweetened baking chocolate (melted)
400 grms granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 tspns vanilla extract
280 grams sifted plain flour
2 tspns baking powder
½ tspn salt
228 grams icing sugar (confectioners’ sugar)

Makes about 24-30 cakes.

RITUAL

Bless all your ingredients, utensils and equipment before you begin.

As you mix your ingredients you may wish to think of all your loved ones who have passed over and send them your love. Imbue your cakes with visualisations of happy times shared together.

Mix together the vegetable oil, chocolate and sugar in a large bowl.

Blend in the eggs, one at a time stirring between each addition. Add and mix in the vanilla.

In a separate bowl, mix the sifted flour, baking powder and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the oil mixture and allow to stand for at least 4 hours (or overnight).

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball. Coat each ball in confectioners’ sugar, rolling until covered.

Place the balls about 5 centimetres apart on a greased or baking paper lined baking sheet. As you place the baking sheets in the oven – bless your creation and ask for these offerings to be seen by your loved ones in Spirit.

Bake for 10-12 minutes.

The cakes should be soft and the edges firm. Be careful not to overcook the cakes as they burn easily. Makes about 24-30 cakes.

Enjoy with your family and friends. As you take your first bite send your loving energy across the veil to loved ones.

If you make this receipe, why not take a photo of your cakes and send it to us at inspiritpodcast@gmail.com? Write to us and let us know how you celebrated All Hallow's eve this year.

OOPS.... IT'S THE BRAIN READY PODCAST

I incorrectly referred to the Brain Ready podcast in this week's show. It's not Brain Training as I inferred, which probably means I need more of this podcast to get my brain in shape! It's a great podcast, and you can check it out at http://www.brainready.com/

'Haunted' swing keeps rocking

2007-10-27T01:31:00.000+10:00

AN out-of-control playground swing has spooked families and police in Argentina.
The swing rocks back and forwards without being touched - and anxious parents have decided the playground must be haunted.

Watch the YouTube video of the swing below:

In an attempt to explain the swing's mysterious movement, police called in physics professors. But even they have been unable to explain the why the swing keeps moving.

Residents claim the middle swing in a playground in the north-eastern town of Firmat can keep moving continuously for ten days before suddenly coming to a halt.

Teacher Maria de Silva Agustina said one child had nicknamed the area the "Blair Witch Playground".

"We believe it is haunted," she said.

Does your Brain need a tune-up?

2007-10-15T15:43:00.000+10:00

I'll be talking about the Brain Ready podcast in a future episode, but I thought I'd add it to the blog page so you can check it out.

Brain Ready is a brain health website that has a series of resources to help keep diseases like alzheimers and dementia away.

According to the website, the brain starts its physical decline about the age of 20, and this has an impact on work, skills and quality of life.

By using things such as simple arithmetic (adding and subtracting small numbers) and guided visualisations to strengthen your spatial imagination the BrainCast podcast helps activate areas of your brain you wouldn't normally use on a day-to-day basis.

Visit the Brainready website at http://www.brainready.com/, and you'll find the podcast episodes on the home page...

You can also subscribe to the BrainCast podcast on iTunes.

Are you bathing in the new energy?

2007-10-11T18:26:00.000+10:00

Many of you will now have begun to experience the effects of the new energy that has made its presence felt since the 1st of October.

Like me, you may have been witnessing transitions all around as the Divine has recalled many souls back to Spirit to witness these times from a vantage point of Light and Love. There have also been many new arrivals of beautiful souls who come to join us here as beacons of Light and to raise the frequency of the planet to a much finer level.

We farewell and celebrate the lives of those who have passed over the veil and welcome those who join us in their stead.

Transition is the key word for this month as we progress through the completion of the “9” onto the new path forward of the “1”.

I have been inundated with calls from Lightworkers who are seeking a new form of spiritual expression and who wish to fulfil their lifepath and find joy in their work and relationships.

Many are questioning themselves to find out what really makes their heart sing. Others are letting go of old relationships and jobs and seeking to follow their dreams. This is a time for everyone to recognise their deepest held desires and wishes and to understand that you can indeed live your dream.

Recognising what is truly important in your life is the first step.

Once you have identified the major people and things that bring you joy in life it becomes much easier to see how to let go of the dross and make your life shine.

The ancient alchemists strove to learn the secret of how to turn base metals into gold – now it is your turn to be your own alchemical master and change the negative and the heavy aspects of your life into a more positive and inspiring energy.

Do what makes your heart sing and all else will follow – health, happiness, love and abundance.

I do hope you have had the opportunity to listen to our new weekly podcasts and we invite you to comment on them via the blog or our phone line. Perhaps you would like to ask an ‘on air’ question or receive some survival evidence and communication from a loved one in Spirit. You may have an interesting story to relate or be a practitioner who is working in the healing arena. We welcome your feedback and comments because we want to design our shows around you, our listeners.

Keep listening to our podcast shows each week - in one of our next shows we are planning to cross live to me in Glastonbury – the Ancient Isle of Avalon when I visit the UK next month.

I send you all Love and Light,
Ruthie

Who said anything about homework?

2007-10-02T17:33:00.000+10:00

What good is theory without putting it into practice right?

Each month Ruth and James will be offering a 'homework' assignment for you to do - so you can practice what we're talking about on the show. Sometimes it will be spiritual, sometimes it will be practical, sometimes it will be to advance your own skills and learning, sometimes it will benefit someone else.

The homework assignment is just a way of getting practically involved in what we talk about on the podcast. It's not hard, you can do it in a spare moment, and it's meant to be fun!

Completing a homework assignment gives a great sense of achievement, so why not share it with others. You can leave your feedback for others to read by leaving a comment on the blog, or leave us a message and share your success on the podcast feedback line +1 202 657-6205.

There's no winners, and no losers, and we certainly don't mark the homework either! I hear your collective sighs of relief from here! It's all about giving things a try, stretching yourself and having a go.

Your homework for this week you have two options to choose from: Tell Somebody OR Tell Us!

OPTION ONE - TELL SOMEBODY!
This one is really easy - go out and tell somebody about the podcast. If you like this show, you won't mind telling other people right? Spread the word, and help someone else along in their spiritual development.

or;

OPTION TWO - TELL US!
This is equally as easy... it's about trying out our feedback line. That's right, give us a call. In the US call +1 202 657-6205. Australian callers can dial (02) 8006-0180

Call us up, listen for the beep and just tell us who you are, where you come from and what you like about the show. If you've got a suggestion for the show, that would be great too. Whatever you want to tell us, we're all ears!

P.S. If we were marking this assignment you know you'd get extra points for doing both! You can tell somebody and tell us you told somebody if you like! Special mentions for people who do both assignments!

P.P.S. Remember, homework is not a chore! Have fun with it!

It's a new beginning for the podcast as we embark on a new series of weekly programs. In future shows you'll begin to hear the new podcast formats take shape, and we'd love your feedback on the program.

At any time, if we mention something that piques your interest, or raises a question then send us some feedback either through a comment in the blog or by calling our feedback line on +1 (202) 657-6205. The voicemail service is open 24 hours a day.

We also catch up with Kerry who is going to be giving us some feedback on a reading she had with Ruth in an earlier podcast. And of course we have more listener readings on the show as well.

For full details on the show and the music we played during this episode check out the show notes.

A single rose

2007-09-21T20:58:00.001+10:00

Angela writes:

Last time I came and saw you, you told me that I would receive a single rose or see a single rose and to know that my mother would be with me at that time. I have to be honest to say that I thought it was a bit vague the 'seeing a single rose' bit as they could be anywhere and I've never received a single rose in my life. Anyway, in May this year I attended an awards dinner with the company that I sell craft products for and I won two awards - as I walked up on to the stage to receive my award... you guessed it, I was given a single rose with my award. Incredible. I would walk past florists and think "no, that's obviously not right, single roses are everywhere" - but this was definitely a very very strong sign. Anyway, I thought you might like to know this as I'm sure you sometimes wonder if certain things have
happened.

Thank you so very much for this wonderful feedback - mainly because I know how much you really wanted and needed to hear from your darling mother. I am so pleased that your confirmation came as it did, as she was so proud of you when you won your awards. She was definitely there in spirit with you at that time and would have been the proud mother watching over you - just as she would have been if she was still with us here.

A thank you for every sneeze

2007-09-19T04:00:00.000+10:00

Well here we are at the 18th September and I am happily having a wonderful clearing in the form of a head cold - lots of sneezes and tissues gone thorugh - but this is all proof that I am letting go of any left over states that needed to be cleared before we move into the energy of the "1" vibration. I have been saying lots of "thank you's" to the Universe and the Divine every time I sneeze for this opportunity to clear.

As we move towards the end of September I am clearing out my pantry, sorting out my wardrobe, donating things I no longer use to charity, and finishing up all those craft and needlework UFO's ( Un Finished Objects).

I am determined to make a clear path ahead for October when the first wave of the 1 vibration begins to be felt. As a "1" day born ( ie 10th of the month ) this is a significant year ahead for me - a new goal and new focus to set my sights on. I am SO excited.

On another note - for those of you reading this who live in London - I shall be venturing up there in mid November and will be available for a limited number of private sessions whilst there. If you are interested in having a one- on- one session then please email me info@ruthiephillips.com ( please put "London Visit" inthe subject line) and I'll contact you re timings etc.

I do hope to be able to meet up with some of our loyal podcast listeners, old clients and friends.

Blessings,
Ruthie

When we lose someone we love

2007-09-18T18:39:00.000+10:00

I was listening to the latest episode of Mysterious Universe (www.mysteriousuniverse.org) hosted by trailblazing Aussie podcaster- Benjamin Grundy). He mentioned on his latest show about the passing of his grandfather. He mentioned the comfort his knowledge of the metaphysical was bringing him and that he was certain that wasn't all there was to life.

As he spoke it brought back memories of when my Grandmother passed in 2003. Even though we were separated physically by nearly 1,000 kilometres, I remember the exact time she passed and exactly where I was. She visited me as I was driving to work and said the words "Nana loves you", words she would always say to me as a child. I could hear the words as clearly as if she was sitting in the car seat next to me and I could feel the intense warmth of her hug.

It was a very brief and intense moment, and I wasn't quite sure what it meant. To be honest I thought it was a message for a friend who I did a reading for the previous day. I had no idea she had passed over until nearly 8 hours later that night, when I got a call from my mum to let me know she had passed.

This precious visit from my Grandmother was a firm reassurance to me that we are more than just our physical body... and for me her funeral was more a celebration that she was now free from the physical restrictions of her body and was on her way home.

Our thoughts are with you and your family Benjamin...

Bringing your whole self to work

2007-09-13T07:42:00.000+10:00

If you're like me, then sometimes it can be really hard some days to drag yourself to work. Workplaces can be awkward, political and socially challenging at the best of times. Recently I found a great article on Beliefnet that hit home for me. It talked about leaving behind the old ideas that work is something that you go and do.

The ten tips enclosed in this article encourage us all to see work as an extension of your spiritual self: it is your teacher, a creative outlet and is a place for you to be present in each moment.

As we discover that work can be an extension of our spiritual self we re-claim those eight (or more) hours to live to the full. Hours that were previously lost to 'work'. It was an inspiring article for me, and hopefully it will be for you too.

San Francisco to host their own "Earth Hour"

2007-09-12T07:04:00.001+10:00

The organisers at Light's Out San Francisco believe that good things happen in the dark, and in the dark is exactly where they hope all SF residents will be between 8-9pm on Saturday October 20th this year.

A similar successful campaign in Sydney Australia on 31st March this year saw more than 2 million residents and businesses switch-off lights for one-hour between 6-7pm. One hour of lights out meant that 24.86 tons of carbon dioxide were not released into the air – the equivalent of taking 48,613 cars off the road for one hour.

Before the event, organisers are encouraging all SF residents to install a donated compact fluorescent light bulb, and turn-off all unnecessary lighting.

Lights Out San Francisco is a grassroots organization based in San Francisco. The groups' steering committee consists of Bay Area residents – environmentalists, technologists, writers, and educators – who are passionate about fighting global warming and finding ways to take action locally.

Organisers are calling for volunteers to assist with awareness and other activities.

If you are s SF local and interested in helping out then you can find more information at the Lights Out San Francisco website.

Founder of Body Shop Anita Roddick dies

2007-09-11T11:51:00.000+10:00

Today we say farewell to Anita Roddick, the founder of the Body Shop cosmetics store, who died yesterday after suffering a major brain haemorrage.

A leader well before her time, she was a trailblazing green businesswoman and the business she setup were literally decades ahead of the eco-friendly fashion.

She was - and is - an inspiring business pioneer who continually thought about the environment ahead of profits, and became highly profitable in the process.

How to listen to podcasts in your car

2007-09-10T22:22:00.000+10:00

Louise writes:

"I am purchasing an ipod in the next month or so, so it will be a lot easier for me to find the time to download and listen to the recordings whilst I am driving, so weekly would be fine.I am not sure if you mentioned this on your show, but you can purchase an attachment with your iPod so that you can tune your ipod into the radio of your car by selecting a designated channel for your ipod. You can then listen to your iPod whilst you are driving (to work etc) just like another radio station. A lot of people do not know this and I know that it would allow people to listen to your shows a lot more often. They can set a time for themselves, say driving to work every Tuesday morning. Just some food for thought."

Thanks for the note Louise - sometimes I take technology for granted and make the wrong assumption that everyone is as familiar with the technology as me...

I listen to podcasts on my way to work in the car too. I download several different podcasts, so I can listen to a variety of topics every day of the week... it certainly makes my daily commute more interesting.

Here are some options specifically from the Apple iPod accessory range that allow people to tune-in their radio to the ipod. Essentially these little devices broadcast your signal to a specific channel on your FM radio.

Here's one that I particularly like because it suits most - if not all - of the ipods on the market today. The one thing to watch when buying an FM transmitter is "does it suit my particular ipod", as the ipod connectors do vary from model to model, depending on the age of your particular unit.

This unit is called the Griffin iTrip Auto and it is available from the Buy Mac Australian online store. (http://www.buymac.com.au/). This unit is a transmitter for all seasons incorporating the ipod nano and even the latest generation ipod videos (the status of connection with the brand new itouch ipod is unknown... read down for more information on this new device). It also recharges your unit through the cigarette adapter in your car while you listen. The unit retails for about AU$129 RRP but you can get it only for just AU$89 here.

Here's a list of some of the other devices available that do pretty much the same thing. If you buy one of these units, remember to check that it is compatible with your particular ipod.

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE NEW IPOD TOUCH?

This is a brand new unit, just released a couple of days ago. This new unit has the same features as the much acclaimed iPhone just without the phone component. To select music you simply touch the screen - no complicated buttons. The iPod touch also allows you to surf the web wirelessly, and download music and podcasts (including the In Spirit Podcast) from a new wireless iTunes store.

The units currently available are considered top of the line and are around the AU$415-AU$435 mark, and their storage capacity is a bit limited (the largest iTouch iPod is currently only 16GB, while the latest ipod video unit has 10 times this capacity). If you want the latest and greatest though, the new iTouch iPod is probably the way to go for you.

With this release Apple also announced that the iPod Nano has gone video as well, so the range is changing and it's worth checking out the latest products before you buy...

Thanks for the note Louise - and I hope some of this ipod techno info is of some use!

Now, where do you listen to the In Spirit Podcast? Leave your comment and let us know!

Cheers,
James (a.k.a. the technoboffin)

The Ninth month of the global 9 year

2007-09-10T13:36:00.001+10:00

Well it is now the ninth month of our global 9 year (2007). The great completion. A wonderful time to finally get all those chores done that you have put off. Also a good time to re-evaluate your life on every level.

As you read this, humanity is being flooded with very powerful Light from the Celestial realms. New 5th dimensional particles and waves are bathing our planet between the Full Moon Eclipse of last month (28th August) and the New Moon Eclipse to come on September 11, 2007.

In addition to these vibrational influxes of energy we are also experiencing rare numerological influences which bring the powerful blessings of the 999. These blessings have already begun to flood the planet on 9/9/2007 and will do so throughout this month, and in particular on the 18th September and the 27th of September.

So what does all this mean to us in real terms? Well these amazing energies are prodding us all out of our comfort zones, pushing us to face situations we had previously avoided or deferred. We are being asked to look within at our core beliefs and to see whether they are really our beliefs or ones we have inherited from others along our life path.

This is a time that we are being shown a myriad of new possibilities for our lives. For many, this may mean breaking away from old relationships, friendships, marriages or business partnerships that no longer support our truth. For others it is perhaps a time to look at their work and whether they are doing what actually makes their heart sing. And for the Lightworkers among us, many of whom are reading these words; it is a clarion call for higher service to the Light. It may mean changing the way we work with others in our capacity as healers, seers or teachers. This could involve the construction of new pathways forward and new therapies to help our fellow beings find the blockages that prevent them from experiencing their own true joy.

With all these new energies we have instigated a fresh approach to our podcast and the appearance of our website. For those of you who have not as yet listened to one of our podcast episodes please take a few minutes to investigate via the podcast button on this page. Along with our monthly podcasts, we are now recording A Moment In Spirit which is a weekly vignette with ideas and interviews and follow up from our monthly shows. We welcome, and indeed encourage, listener feedback, questions and on-air readings so I would love to hear from you via the Blog, Voicemail or email.

So if you have some questions regarding what you have been experiencing of these new energies or would like to share some of your stories with our listeners, then please leave us a message, our voicemail lines are always open.

I rejoice in this moment in time, as it is such a gift to be here now and to be able to participate in these wondrous events.
I send you Blessings, Ruth

We've joined Libsyn!

2007-09-01T09:47:00.000+10:00

I'm pleased to announce that we've just completed a migration of the In Spirit with Ruth Phillips podcast to Liberated Syndication (or libsyn for short). Libsyn are pioneers in effective podcast hosting solutions and their platform makes it easy for us to keep bringing you each new episode effortlessly.

We've changed our podcast feed to 'point' listeners to the files stored on libsyn podcast servers.

I guess the big question is why did we change?

Over the last twelve months our audience for the In Spirit Podcast has grown significantly. Up until recently we've hosted our podcast files in the same location as the podcast website. This worked well for a while until our audience grew and our web server started to buckle under the strain. As we start to plan for weekly shows we realised that our servers simply wouldn't cope with the load, and so we set about planning for a new hosting solution that would.

Will there be any interruption? As a listener we don't expect that you will notice any interruption to the service. You will see new play buttons on the blog and the podcast website. Look for the new grey-coloured Play Channel Now button.

If you hit a problem during this migration period, please let us know by leaving us a comment. Please keep giving us feedback about your experiences with the podcast after the migration.

Thanks again for tuning-in and we hope you'll like the changes. Please write to us with your feedback, concerns and suggestions because we love to hear them!

The Divinely Inspired Universe

2007-08-29T13:41:00.000+10:00

I have just witnessed one of the most wondrous, magical and mystical full moon eclipses. All day in the lead up to the lunar eclipse I had a headache and a feeling of something impending.

As the moons light was blocked by the earth coming between it and the sun, the stillness could be felt here in Sydney. Then at the moment that that the moon was fully eclipsed was the instant that my headache disappeared.

The deep orange moon then hung like a orb that looked like one could reach out and pluck it from the heavens. The whole three dimensional appearance was so deeply spiritual and made me reflect on ages past when an event like this would have been a major spiritual event and would been seen as a sign or portent of great things.

My daughter and I celebrated the beautiful Goddess energy that we could feel with gentle singing, sounding our chimes and dancing in the orange glow. I can only imagine the majesty and awesome sight that was afforded those who live outside of the glow of the city. The orange against the inky blackness must have been a vision that would have appeared as though from a science fiction movie.

We live in a marvelous and divinely inspired Universe.

As we move towards a time of great change and a new way of being on the planet let's be reminded that we are wondrous souls and that our full spiritual potential is only just beginning to be realised.

I send you all Blessings,
Ruthie

Episode 12

2007-08-04T16:49:00.000+10:00

Thanks for joining us again for our first podcast in nearly three months. The last time we recorded a podcast was actually in April and we've missed a few beats. There has been a reason though. I have moved our studio and the Medium Events business and Ruth has been busy with some new directions as well. Join us on the podcast this month to find out what's been happening, what's changed and what's stayed the same.

We answer your questions this month and cover quite a few things including how animals have an uncanny ability to sense psychically. Most of you have probably caught the news story about Oscar - that infamous nursing home cat that curls up to people just as they are about to pass over.

We also look at naming your child and the significance of that name and the power our names hold.

No readings this month but they will return to a regular schedule in our September episode. In the meantime if you've got a question then put your name down for a reading. Use our website contact page to request a reading.

We're working on a new program format, and we like to know what you enjoy about our program. Please write to us and let us know the things you tune-in for each month. Your feedback will help us shape our new In Spirit format when it comes online.

July 2007 - Once In A Blue Moon...

2007-07-07T04:48:00.000+10:00

Hello Everyone,

I have had some wonderful spiritually uplifting experiences in the past month and have witnessed outpourings of emotions of all kinds.

No doubt this has been connected with the Blue Moon and the King Tides at the end of June and beginning of this month. For those who are not sure what a Blue Moon is – it is when we have two full moons in one calendar month. The second one to occur in the month is called the Blue Moon. The occurrence of a Blue Moon is reasonably infrequent – hence the saying: ”Once in a Blue Moon”.

Here in Australia we have had major flooding and storms and I hear that the annual Glastonbury Festival in the UK was a wash out – gumboots de rigeur! These deluges are hardly surprising as the moon is all about emotion and water is the element that symbolises the emotions.

As we begin to settle ourselves after these events, and the clean- up occurs in many communities, it is important to reflect on how we ourselves have changed or have had a cleansing in this time. You may not have been personally affected by physical flooding but on some level you may have been inundated with emotional situations that have purged a state of mind or cleared the slate for a new beginning.

This is a wonderful opportunity to look at your life afresh. Just as after the rain, the world seems to sparkle, it is thus with our lives. With the cleansing effect of the outpouring of emotions and tears we have been given a complete spiritual wash – even behind the ears!

I encourage you to see your life now as a sparkling new day and create all that you desire on this fresh page.

Over the past few weeks I have been given so much positive feedback from clients, colleagues and visitors to the website regarding our podcast and the work that James and I have been doing. For all of your wonderful comments and encouragement I thank you from us both. Rest assured we have plans in place for future episodes with new information and content.

I invite you to contact us if there is a particular area of spiritual knowledge you would like me to speak about.

Sending you all many Blessings,
Ruth

2007-06-01T04:03:00.000+10:00

Hello Everyone,

I have had a busy couple of months, both professionally and personally, as I am sure many others of you have also experienced. These days the speed of our lives is extraordinary compared to those of your parents and grandparents. There always seems so much to do. These conditions are worldwide and are an indication of the speeding up of time and the higher vibratory energies with which we are all contending.

Taking time for yourself is very important right now. A few moments of quiet contemplation or meditation in the morning before your day begins, or a walk in nature to unwind at the end of a busy day will clear your energy field and allow you the space to connect with your personal spiritual support.

Recently I was blessed with the experience of visiting The Kimberly – for the non – Australians – this is a region in the far north of Australia that has the most dramatic and beautiful archaeology and scenery with rocks and earth that are some of the oldest on the planet. (70 millions years old I am told) The landscape and seas in this area are awe- inspiring and certainly speak to ones soul of the majesty of the Divine.

Exploring this area, I also found it wonderful to be able to connect into the powerful imagery of our native aborigines and their dreamtime beliefs through their rock art in the caves that I visited. The Bradshaw art and the Wandjina art hold many secrets that have now been all but lost – except to a few of the custodians of the old ways. Just being in the presence of this ancient cave art was a profoundly spiritual experience – the caves are their equivalent of Westminster Abbey or the Vatican.

No matter what our spiritual belief system, we are all connected and ONE and as sentients beings we share the most glorious planet. Let’s look after this, our home, and each other.

I send you Blessings,
Ruthie

"The Secret"

2007-02-04T16:53:00.000+11:00

Well, the new energy of this year has already made itself felt in a myriad of ways. Many are letting go now of their old issues, and starting to build a new way of relating to themselves and their loved ones. More and more people are looking at their lives and taking the responsibility to create all they desire, rather than being merely at the whim of the vagaries of situations and others around them.

Everyone has the ability to become a Master of their own destiny and many are demonstrating a desire to seek knowledge and the wisdom of the ancients to achieve this.

If you live in Australia you may have seen the movie: “The Secret” which is also available on DVD and Book form if you haven’t been able to catch it on television. It’s about creating your own reality and manifesting your desires, ranging from the simple and mundane, to the extraordinary and magical.

I have been teaching “Creative Manifestation” which is essentially this same information, looking at the Laws of Abundance and how you can create abundance in your own life. We are all magical beings and we all have access to the riches (material and spiritual) of this world.

There is no better time than now to realise that we create everything in our lives. If we understand how powerful we truly are then we can have so much fun on the journey.

“The Secret” is a process that is available to us and it only requires three simple steps.

I have been receiving lots of requests to hold more “Creative Manifestation” workshops. So many in fact, that I feel inspired to conduct more of these workshops in Sydney and in other locations around Australia.

If you are genuinely interested in attending one of these workshops in your capital city then please contact me via this website and we will notify you of dates and venues. Naturally, dates and times will need to be scheduled once we know numbers.

Life is speeding up and we are all being challenged to keep going with our daily lives in the middle of great Earth changes. The climate is now under intense scrutiny and we are being asked and asking our selves tough questions about how we can help our beautiful planet.

These are extraordinary times – keep that in mind as you delve deeply into the meaning of things happening around you now. You chose to be here, right now at this point in history.
Good to have you along for the company.

Blessings, Ruth

How do I download older episodes to my iPod?

2007-01-16T13:38:00.000+11:00

Lesley writes:

I just bought an ipod. Is it possible to get the previous podcast episodes to put on the ipod? Itunes only has the latest episode.

James replies:

Thanks for the question Lesley. What you're telling me is partly correct, but it's only one half of what iTunes will do for you. By default, iTunes will only download the most recent episode automatically.

This is a feature of iTunes to ensure that a new ipod user doesn't download every episode of a podcast - this intentional feature protects users from downloading too much data and going over their broadband limits.

You can - however - download more than the most recent episode.

To download more episodes, visit the In Spirit with Ruth Phillips podcast page at iTunes and select Get Episode for each of the earlier episodes you wish to download.

Here's our podcast page on iTunes for downloading other episodes:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=158237606

More information on downloading is available under the Help menu in iTunes. This is what is explained when you search for downloading in iTunes Help:

To download a podcast from the iTunes Store:
1) Click iTunes Store.
2) Click Podcasts (below "Inside the iTunes Store"). Click a podcast to see a list of recent episodes.

When you find a podcast you want to download, do one of the following:
1) To download a single episode, click Get Episode.
2) To subscribe to a podcast, click Subscribe.
iTunes downloads the most recent episode. As new episodes become available, they are automatically downloaded to iTunes (when you are connected to the Internet).

Happy listening - and thanks for being a podcast subscriber Lesley!

Welcome to 2007!

2007-01-09T16:01:00.000+11:00

Welcome to the new energy of a new year. And what a year it promises to be!

Already my phone lines and email inbox have been running hot with messages, questions and requests for assistance and guidance. While I recognise that many are undergoing huge shifts and change in their lives I am heartened to note that so many of you dear ones are progressing and growing spiritually through all these experiences. Well done you!

This is a global “9” year, in numerological terms (2+0+0+7= 9), and therefore implies a year of completion. September, being the ninth month of this “9” year, will be a significant time to finalise outstanding projects and clear the decks in preparation for the new energy that will begin to emerge.

In fact, September 18 has been heralded by some as a turning point in global consciousness – a pivotal moment that will move us forward into a different state of conscious awareness. Don’t expect bells and whistles and loud explosions, this energy will emerge gently and gradually over a period of time but for those who are sensitive, the world will feel so completely different to how it has felt before.

A word to “Sensitives” now… Many of you may have been feeling particularly “yucky”, low, depressed, sad or mournful just prior to the beginning of the New Year. This is a sure sign that you were “picking up” on the global energy field.

If you examined your own life you will have noticed that all was well for you and it really was not your stuff. Please be assured that you were not alone in these feelings or experiences – this was a phenomenon being experienced by Light Workers worldwide. Another symptom of sensitivity to the changes occurring now is sleeplessness.

After discussions with spiritual colleagues and friends throughout Australia, the UK, USA and New Zealand, there seem to be two groups of souls awake in the wee small hours – the 3 a.m. Club and the 5 a.m. Club. Which one are you a member of? Those of you experiencing this wakefulness will understand this exactly.

My advice is to just give in to it – as your energy shifts you actually need less sleep. Have a hot drink, and do something relaxing. Worrying is not going to fix this one – just know you are not alone.

James, my podcast producer and webmaster extraordinaire, and I are planning more exciting changes for this website this coming year. We will be continuing to record our podcasts and we thank you for all the positive and encouraging feedback we have received thus far.

Our next recording date In Spirit with Ruth Phillips is Monday 15 January, so if you would like to ask a question of a spiritual nature or receive communication from a loved one who has passed over, please contact us and include with your question your full name, all phone contact numbers and your country of residence (for time zone calculations) so we can contact you to arrange a time to call to speak to you personally and record you on our next exciting show.

I look forward to being in touch with you throughout this coming year.

Wishing you a happy and healthy 2007.
Ruthie.

Renee Asks: What should I be reading...

2006-12-06T16:23:00.000+11:00

Renee recently wrote to us:

Firstly I have just recently discovered your podcasts and I LOVE them!! I find them both entertaining and educational so keep up the good work.

I have been wanting for some time to do further reading into the subject of psychic awareness and building my skills in this area. I have always held a deep facination and passion for this subject however in the last year i've noticed skills of my own developing in this area. If you could spare the names of some good books that i can read i would be so appreciative!! I have been looking myself but there are so many books out i'm just not sure where to start.

Love and best wishes for the Christmas period.
Have a good one!
Warmest Regards, Renee

Ruth replies...

Thank you for your wonderful feedback for our podcasts. James and I both enjoy putting them together and are always pleased when we hear from our listeners.

Re books etc - next year we have plans to review spiritual books on the podcast, so that may interest you.

Because I don't know what you have already read, my suggestion is that you begin in an area that interests you.

"Conversations with God" - by Neale Donald Walsch and this whole series are worth reading, as are the "Celestine Prophecy" and the "Tenth Insight" by James Redfield.

Please tune into the podcasts for more info next year and spread the word amongst your friends - the more listeners the merrier!

And on that merry note I wish you a very Happy Christmas and all the best for 2007.

The Close of another year...

2006-12-05T16:20:00.000+11:00

Hello Everyone,

Well, here we all are at the close of yet another year.

From all the feedback I have been receiving of late it appears that many have been preparing the way for major changes in their lives. These changes have included new work and challenges, new homes, the arrival of babies, the loss of loved ones and different lifestyles and circumstances. Many too, have been challenged by the need to make decisions regarding direction in their life.

Let me firstly assure you that you are not alone at this time, as it seems from the correspondence I have received from my colleagues and friends all over the planet that we are all undergoing a huge shift in energy right now. This shift will clear the way for our future growth and is a direct way that the Universe, the Divine and our Spiritual Personal Assistants (previously referred to by many as “guides”) can lead us along pathways of a higher order for our own spiritual development.

If we take some time to reflect on the way this year, 2006, has shaped up for us personally we will see patterns that emerge. These patterns of behaviour or circumstances that repeat are there to alert us to opportunities to let go of old, outmoded ways of relating to others and ourselves and to be in our own truth.

This is, of course, much easier said than done, but we may begin this process by firstly being honest with ourselves. “To thine own self be true “ means much more than not telling lies – it means really owning what we feel and say and believe. No games, no emotional blackmail, no blaming others. A very hard call.

Those of you who have already begun this process of change will no doubt be able to identify by now your own “Achilles heel”. This vulnerability or sensitive area in your life will have constantly had the button pushed several times already and the pattern will be too strong and clear to ignore. I encourage you to keep going – you are being assisted by your spiritual community who wish you to be able to move forward into the new energy with clarity and purpose.

This is a time of transition so be gentle with yourself over this holiday period that approaches. Take some time for yourself – you are not selfish to desire a space apart. You will find even a few moments will refresh you and make it easier to deal with the world at large. As my gift to you for the festive season, I have recorded a special podcast, which is a relaxation guided visualisation meditation. You will find this in the Podcast section of the website. Please listen, relax and enjoy.

Thank you all for your wonderful support of my work, this website, and the podcasts that James and I have thoroughly enjoyed bringing you this year. We will continue with the work next year in a new energy so please watch the website for the changes to come.

I send you and your families every good wish for a joyous, safe and blessed festive season and Christmas. May 2007 bring you peace and prosperity.

Blessings of the Divine upon you all.
Ruthie

EPISODE 3 TRANSCRIPTION

2006-09-26T14:34:00.000+10:00

Welcome to 'In Spirit with Ruth Phillips' – Episode 3.

Welcome to the program. We've got lots of guests today Ruth. We have!
RP: We're going to explore a little bit about pagan celebrants in an interview with Mary Beth Zang, we've also got my dear friend Jessica Adams who's a world renound astrologer and author and Gail Pickles who's going to be speaking to us once again about the origins of numerology.
JW: And she's also going to be looking at the number 3 as well. We have some podcast readings coming up….
RP: Well let's get on with the show and I know you've got some news for us…
JW: Sure, well a really interesting story this month Ruth is about Uri Gallar, he's actually filed a lawsuit against the poor person who sold Graceland from under him so I've got that coming up…
RP: And now let’s look at what’s been happening in the news this month.
[insert news]
So Ruth we had some delays when we first setout to record this podcast! We did indeed!
JW: I can't say that they were my problem… well they were my problem but they weren’t my fault! The whole thing was we came in here and the first thing we were going to do was record some reading for people and the computer wouldn't let me put the jack in and I was receiving lots of strange messages coming out of the computer.
RP: When I was driving to the studio that morning I had a really weird feeling that it wasn't going to work and sitting here watching you fiddling under the desk with millions of cords and stuff like that I'm thinking oh my goodness. It was until I got home and you rang me and said it's working now!
JW: Yes exactly – well I actually tried it again 20 minutes after you left and I think you took the energy with you – whatever it was Ruth! But it all worked again.
RP: Well at least the gremlins aren't here today!
JW: And we do apologise to those people we had lined up for those readings nearly three weeks ago who didn't have the opportunity to have the reading but please stay with us and we'll eventually get you on the program. We will and also sorry for the delay in getting the podcast out this time. I mentioned to people you were going to New Zealand Ruth, maybe you’d like to tell them what that was all about?
RP: Certainly – well I decided it was time for me to go and give back in New Zealand which is where I started my work as medium and I did a platform job, or a job as a platform medium in the spiritualist church in Patoni in Wellington last Sunday night.
JW: You mentioned about giving back – what's the relevance of giving back? Or what's the giving back about?
RP: Well I was very blessed because I had the opportunity when I was 13 to witness a medium and I'll tell you the story in just a minute but part of my philosophy is that I feel we should give back in some way to inspire other people. I was inspired then I think it's important to do that in your life so if you get something if you get a gift, you get some sort of inspiration from anyone or anywhere it's always nice to give back in some way to say thank you. It's doesn’t have to be to the same person.
When I was 13 I was taken to this particular spiritualist church the very same one by my grandfather who is a spiritualist and a mason, very spiritual man and very psychic. He and I have a very strong bond and infact he walks with me every day of my life in spirit. He took me along to this church to witness platform communication for the first time and the medium of the night was a wonderful woman called Beatrice Swaybey, a wonderful name for a medium! Anyway she was fantastic and she kept going to people in the congregation and giving them messages from their loved ones on the other side and it was the first time I had every seen anything like this.
She came to my grandfather and she gave him a message from an old sweetheart of his which was nice – my grandmother was there! So it was someone pre-grandmother! She talked about a single rose in a bud vase and something else too – some other messages from this lady in spirit who'd passed over. I was standing right at the back by my grandfather and when she'd passed over from him and gone to someone else I elbowed him and I said it that right? Is that true? And he just turned to me and nodded and said yes most definitely true all of that.
I was gobsmacked! I couldn’t believe it and I thought how does she do that? How does she do that? And it did sort of there and then not know that I had the gift I knew stuff and I knew that when the phone rang people would be on the end of the phone of that I knew the name of when the phone was ringing but I never realised that I had the gift myself. But I stood there and there and said that's what I want to do! That was my epiphany in a way! I said to myself that's what I want to do – I want to do exactly what she's doing – I want to be able to stand up and see the light in peoples faces and the joy when they get a message from someone in spirit who they thought was lost to them.
JW: You've got to be really careful of what you ask for don't you?
RW: Exactly! Because that night I went to bed and at the end of my bed where all these people standing around in robes, that was a bit scary! I thought oh my goodness. This will ring bells to a lot of people who have psychic abilities developing or they have teenagers or they have some skill as a medium happening. These people were standing there in these robes looking at me and there's about half a dozen of them. It frightened eight bells out me I can tell you!
And I closed my eyes and I could still see them and then I hid under the covers and I could still see them and I went oh dear, oh dear something not so good here if they're there when I'm awake, they're there when I've got my eyes closed. So I ran to my mother who'd gone to sleep and I said help me, help me there are all these people in my room! She said don't be silly dear go back to sleep. I said I haven't been asleep! Thus began my journey with all my spirit community and we've had a lot of communication since then but that's where it began.
JW: So this last weekend was all about giving back?
RP: Yes and going back and standing in Beatrice Swayby's spot which is exactly what I did with the lady who was running the service for the evening. I did spirit communication for about an hour and 20, and hour and half. It was standing room only, last Sunday night so it was like an action replay of when I was 13 years old.
JW: I heard reports that they needed to close the doors…
RP: They did! We had to stop people coming because of fire regulations but there was well over 100 people in this tiny area so it was great. I had to move around so that people could hear me and see me. We had the usual animals come through, we had dogs. We didn't have any ducks this time! But we had loads of different people and I must of given spirit communication to at least two dozen people. It was a really good evening and it was lovely to be back there and to be able to join in communion really with those in spirit and those who are interested in having that spirit communication come through. I feel like I've done the right thing now and I can move forward and do something else!
JW: Terrific! Ruth we've been promising a competition for the last couple of programs and we're about to get that off the ground now. What we're giving away to listeners for this month is an 'In spirit with Ruth Phillips podcast' coffee cup. We're asking listeners to phone in on our new feedback line, it's not a psychic reading question but a developmental question.
RP: I'd like people to ask me questions which they need to have answers for like: 'How do I develop my psychic abilities?'; 'What does it mean when I have aches and pains in my body when I'm near someone else and it seems to be mirroring their aches and pains?'; 'How is it I know who’s on the phone when it rings?'; precognitive dreams – that sort of stuff. So any questions that you have about things you may be experiencing psychically or spiritually that you need answers for and the best one will get the prize this month!
JW: OK so what you need to do to enter this competition is call us on our feedback line. That number will be listed on the website at www.inspiritpodcast.com. Now it's a line in Sydney Australia so for some of you it will be an international call, when you call give us your first name and email address so we can contact you if you've won. We'd like you to leave a developmental question – we'll select the best question, answer it on the program and we'll send you your prize.
INTERVIEW WITH JESSICA ADAMS – ASTROLOGER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN WOMEN’S WEEKLY, VOGUE AND COSMOPOLITANVISIT: WWW.JESSICAADAMS.COM
Jessica Adams is one of Australia's leading astrologers. She writes columns for Cosmopolitan and Vogue in Asia and she's the astrologer for the Australian Woman's Weekly and the New Zealand Sunday Star Times. Jessica has raised more than 2.5 million dollars for children's charities for the girls night in and kids night in anthology series. She has her own website and is currently launching a new astrology podcast and she joins us on the phone from Sydney now:
JA: Hi Ruthie how are you going?
RP: Tell us about your podcast Jessica:
JA: I'm doing a series for beginners with astrology, people that don't have much experience but are quite curious about it. Each time we do a podcast we're going to focus on a different plant, a different aspect of astrology and a different sign of the zodiac so beginning with the planet Uranus just because it's dominating the action in the heavens and people are going through a great deal of upheaval and radical change because of it.
RP: I think it will be very popular because people who don't have any experience of astrology need to know where they can begin and to listen to a podcast such as your will give them a good leaping off point for further study. I think you'll give them a good grounding.
JA: Time allowing if you come by every fortnight or so you should be able to pick up a mini tutorial. The second one will be on mercury which is the planet of communication! From October to November it's retrograde or going backwards so I thought that might be a good time to talk about it or how to deal with.
RP: I think a lot of people do have a lot of troubles when mercury does go retrograde so to have all those things explained is a great idea. People can find the podcast at www.jessicaadams.com and they can follow up other things of the paranormal nature there which Ruthie knows all about of course.
JW: If you'd like more info about Jessica Adams including your monthly, yearly or weekly stars you can visit her website which is www.jessicaadams.com.
INTERVIEW WITH MARYBETH ZHANG – PAGAN CELEBRANT. FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT HER WEBSITE – WWW.PAGANCELEBRANT.COM
RP: James today I'm going to speak to a lady Mary Beth Zang. Mary Beth was actually the celebrant who married my husband Gordon and I. Mary Beth is a different type of celebrant, she's a pagan celebrant. So we're going to talk to Mary Beth about some of the rituals that she does in her role as a celebrant and ask her a whole bunch of questions – here she is – hello Mary Beth how are you today?
MB: I'm very well thank you.
RP: Now Mary Beth I've actually told our listens a little bit about what you do and the fact tat you married Gordon and I, but as a pagan celebrant can you give us an idea about you how work and the ceremonies that your perform and what are some of the aspects of your ceremonies?
MB: The way a pagan ceremony works is that I work mainly with the elements of earth, air, fire and water and the fifth element being spirit. I would start the ceremony always by creating scared space, I do that in what I call the old way, and I call in the directions of east which is air, north which is fire, west which is water and south which is earth.
When I'm calling in those directions I'll be using my sacred tool so for air and east I'd use my sword, and for fire and north I'd use my lantern which has a little tea light candle in it, for west I'd use water in the really beautiful chalice I've got and for south and usually use my rose quartz or sometimes I'd use a rock. I'd actually use those on my table then call in spirit – I always honour the traditional land owners, the ancestors along our main and female lines and all the creatures that share the earth with us. So that's the start of my ceremony and I'll actually get the guests in helping with that so they all face the elements. So what happens is they become to feel a little bit more comfortable with it.
RP: We actually did that in our wedding ceremony and one of the comments that we had was that it was so lovely that people could participate and be part of it as well.
MB: That's right exactly, it is a community ritual and even bringing in the ancestors it gets people thinking about who’s gone before them and we always mention, or get the couple to mention who's not present at the ceremony. Like people who have died or people who are overseas. Sometimes the couple will put a photograph up of people who can't be there or people who have died on the table which brings them into the circle and that's a really lovely thing I think and people always really warm to that.
RP: And quite often you might find the bride or the groom don’t have their parents there, they ay have passed into spirit and it's a way of honouring that too. Ok so you've created your sacred space.
MB: Most couple will have a flower circle because in the olden days before any church wedding or any other wedding the couples did get married in nature. A pagan wedding is basically a nature based wedding and I don't often use the word pagan in the ceremony but often talk to the couple and get them to explain to their family and friends who might be scared by the word pagan. It just means country dweller, it comes from the Latin word paganis which means liturally country dweller. It’s people who work on the land, with the land, with the elements, with the stars, with the moon, with the sun.
RP: I think that's really important because there is a negative perception because it really is as you say the origin of that word is merely someone who was connected to the earth and the seasons and cycles. What other aspects do you include in your wedding ceremonies?
MB: First of all I always bring my Tibetan bells because that makes a really lovely sound. It lets everybody know that we're starting and brings a really beautiful vibration to the couple. It's a way of me connecting with them. I introduce myself and usually talk about what the moon and sun are doing on that day because there's always a beautiful blessing whatever the moon or sun are in and if the moon is waxing or waning or if it's a new moon. Mostly pagan weddings will happen on a new moon to a full moon but sometimes they do happen on a waning moon, it's just the choice of the couple and sometimes there's just not another day to do it. Preferably you would want to get married on a new moon after a full moon. Like the spring equinox a lot of people who want that sort of wedding will choose those times to get married. Or at the winter equinox like you did.
RP: Yes the coldest day of the year we got married on as well as the solstice and we all felt it. We look forward to talking to you again and thank you once more for your wonderful input today it's been fabulous.
JW: And just that information again if you do want to read up on pagan ceremonies and a bit more about Mary Beth you can find her website at www.pagancelebrant.com.

PICKLES TALKS NUMEROLOGY
RP: Welcome back Gayle, I've got so many questions for you today. Just to recap in the last few podcasts we've talked about day born numbers, how to work them out, some of the qualities of the day born numbers one and two and what I'd like to do is ask you a few things about the origins of numerology. Where does it all begin?
G: I'm not sure of the origins of numerology but there are several systems, the Chaldean system and the Pythagorean system and as most people understand Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher. I tend to use the Pythagorean system. Pythagoras developed the science of numbers along with ability to heal with music so the whole of the way things work is everything is put together in the universe with musical notes and or numbers. I use the Pythagorean system, it was a system that I learned over 20 years ago and the one that I find the most useful. Other people may seek other alternatives but that's the system that I use.
RP: Do you use the system because you feel it gives you more insight and more depth of wisdom relating to the numbers?
G: I just think it sits well with me and the way I am. No system is any better than any other system. They all come from the same source; they are a divine given gift. The science of it still comes back to the same, understanding who you are.
RP: What you say about your choice system is so true, whether we use a divination card, psychometry – everything counts doesn’t it? Everything is valid it's just your choice within it.
G: It's all valid because it's all coming from the one source, coming from the complete hole.
RP: I think people need to know there's no wrong answer. So tell me a little bit about the number 3, which dates in the month first of all are the number 3 day born?
G: The 3 day born are 3 of any month, the 12th, the 21st and the 30th.
RP: So tell me something about the 3's – what are they like as people? What sort of energy do they have?
G: They've got a very excitable energy, they're here to express themselves, self-expression is their keyword and they're into anything in the performing arts, music, they create things. As children they tend to be quite creative, if they're not noticed they'll create in order to be noticed.
RP: So that explains why my husband a 3 day born is a bagpipe player?
G: That has a lot to do with why he plays the bag pipes! It's also a very mental number so they're able to work things out in their head. To remember the 3 and we can only slightly introduce the sacred geometry that goes with the numbers but the 3 is the trinity or the triangle. 1 and 2 make 3. So one of their best expressions is the producing of children but they'll create all sorts of interesting things.
RP: So does that mean they're good at art, painting and drawing and those sorts of things?
G: Well we can go back to the 1 about the art, 1 has hidden talent for art and poetry and painting and writing, 3's are more inclined towards music and the performing arts. So you'll most likely see them on the stage or in an art form, particularly if they’re combined with the life path number of a 5.
RP: How do we work out our life path number?
G: Well we can take a number 20th of the 4th 1945. You add the 20th to the 4th then the 1945. That comes to a 25 which comes to a 7.
RP: What's the difference between a day born number and a life path number?
G: The day born number is the qualities and gifts you brought with you, and is there to provide you with a balance to learn how to balance yourself, so there's not so much a reaction in life but an action. Whereas a life-path number is what you're going to do with those talents that come underneath your day-born number. So how you'll do what you're good at in the world.
RP: So if we put this in a term of reincarnation and stuff like that – the day born number is the gifts we bring in with us and the karmic and the life-path number is what our mission statement is?
G: Let's take James as an example, as a life-path number James is a 19/1 day-born and he's our producer, he's full of ideas. When you add James' birthday up he comes to an 8 life-path. Now 8's about strength and determination and balance, it's about organisation so James is using all of those skills in his life-path number to get his podcast out to benefit humanity. So James is about as above so below. James' way of introducing spirituality into all this – he knows that if you introduce spirituality with your physical then you are going to have a better life.
RP: Don't forget to look at our website to work out your life-path number.
PODCAST PSYCHIC READINGS WITH RUTHIE PHILLIPS
JW: And now on the line is Beverly from Ontario Canada.
RP: What would you like to ask me dear?
Beverly: Well I'm wondering about my career? I'm wondering what will be happening for me or coming up for me around my career?
RP: I feel this is a transition time for you Beverly, I'm seeing a lot of change. I feel you're in a job at the moment that you're not being valued for all of the input that you're contributing. I feel also that you're not being valued on an emotional or financial basis. There seems to be some choices ahead for you. May I ask you is there some sort of a redundancy or a shift happening in your workplace at the moment because I'm seeing a lot of movement or options to go or stay, not around just you but other people too.
Beverly: More with me, maybe with other people I'm not sure but there are changes occurring for me. I
RP: I feel as though your responsibilities or the field you work in is changing and your job profile is changing as well. Is that what's happening for you?
Beverly: I hope so.
RP: I'm talking about your current job at the moment, whether they're changing your job or your areas of responsibility because I'm getting the feeling it's prompting you to do something or move out of what you're doing already.
Beverly: On some level.
RP: This is not working because I'm seeing transition and change and I don't quite understand what is going on for you’re here because I feel there is some movement in the company that is prompting you to make a change.
Beverly: Well there is – my job's coming to an end.
RP: Thank you, that's the feeling that I get – it's almost like a contract or job is coming to and end and something's changing around that that's prompting you to make a change yourself. I just want to make sure I've got the right feel around your job here. What I'm feeling is there's a need for you to look at what you're doing and go OK is this really what I want to do for the rest of my life or the next few years because I actually see you changing direction completely.
So if we were going along a road and that's your career path what I'm seeing is you reaching a cross road and instead of keeping going straight on you're actually going to do an abrupt right turn and go off on a completely different career path. I know this is kind of a bit scary I know but I feel it's something you've always wanted to do. Is there a career or something you've always wanted to do in your working life you'd never considered possible? Don't tell me what it is just answer yes or no on this one.
Beverly: Yes
RP: Great, that's really good because I feel you're going to so something which you've had in mind for a long time which is like a sea change or a green change as we call them here in Australia and I feel as though there may be a little of training or experience you need to get before you move on this new path. This is a path of service and one which is very creative as well. You have an immense about of creativity laying dormant within you and I feel this new path will be a creative outlet for you. Is the path you've wanted to do creative?
Beverly? It can be.
RP: I feel it has to do with communication as well. It's a creative form of doing something – something noone's doing quite yet and I see there is a niche market. I can't see exactly what it is but I feel this will move you forward and do something that noone else is doing?
Beverly: I'm wondering if these opportunties are going to come up fairly soon to help me along?
RP: OK I see someone coming into your life, I see a man being instrumental in assisting you with this. I feel there is an opportunity you have that will be coming in the next month or two – that you’ll be able to seize this opportunity and go OK I’m ready to let go of what I’m doing now because your job is finishing in the next month or so isn’t it?
Beverly: Yes it is.
RP: And that’s what I’ve got this feeling around you’re needing this to happen quite suddenly but I also feel you have to be quite proactive in this. Do you know a man with brown hair that may be a bit receding but he’s got a very clear face and clear eyes. He’s good at business and good at directing people and assisting them to start new projects. Do you have someone like that around you at the moment?
Beverly: I believe so, yes.
RP: I’m getting the initial J around him. I want to say John but that might not be his name, but I see an initial J which seems significant in some way so it could be his business name, his surname or business name. This J person will have some influence in this situation. The other thing is there seems to be a small lump sum of money coming to you as well almost like a payout in someway or a nest egg. Are you expecting this?
Beverly: Yes
RP: OK well this will tide you over, it may be that you really need to have a break. I’m seeing a break taking in Halloween and your pre-Christmas time as well. So in the lead up to Christmas you’re going to use this time to create a new path for yourself and put some ground work in because I see things firing off very quickly for you in the new year. Just for interest what area are you thinking of pursing?
Beverly: Well being a lawyer I’m trying to fulfill my article, and here in Canada you have to article for the bar – I’ve been putting it out there but nothings been coming back as far as the positions that I need to fill my article for the bar.
RP: OK well something will come for that in the next month or so then I feel that study for your bar and I feel you may be accepted to the bar early in the new year. You will be quite creative in this, the creativity will be in your communication skills. You have the ability to draw people out and to use your voice and communication to assist them better. You’re a very good communicator, people would be more inclined to talk to you than one of your colleagues. I have a feeling you may be a 7 path or 7 day born numerlogically speaking. It’s got a great deal of service around your whole energy.
Next caller:
Melissa: Hi Ruth, I might have an opportunity to change my job around May next year or I might look for additional work, I just wanted see what you saw around work next year?
RP: With regards to your work you’ve had a steady employment for a while and what I’m seeing is your ready to personally move, I think your challenges have come that you’ve met all the challenges in the job that you’re doing at the moment and I feel you’ve been very responsible for the people you’ve been working with and for and I feel you want a new challenge. Is that how you’re feeling?
Melissa: Yes I feel it will be coming to and end, they’ve asked me to stay and I wanted to know if I had additional work or another change?
RP: I feel you’ll be able to stay until you’re ready to leave. They’ll be very happy to have you stay until you make the decision. There seems to be some study around you as well which is coming to a conclusion this year. This study will mean there’s a full qualification happening right now. You’re going to look around for some opportunities overseas and I’m picking up Europe or the UK and I feel you’ll be very sought after in your field.
Are you looking after children?
Melissa: Yes.
RP: OK because the qualifications I see you getting seem to catapult you forward with regard to caring for children and teaching them, I’m seeing you would find a very well paid job in the UK or in Europe doing a little bit of what you do now but I feel it’s more in a teaching or tutoring role and there seems to be travel. When I see this movement for you overseas this money is coming but I also see love coming into your life as well. The two of them is combined, when I see you traveling I see you meeting your future partner. I don’t see him around you here in Australia.
Melissa: OK that sounds great thank you Ruth.
JW: That was very different to episode 2 where we had it the other way around – where we had a very long reading about spirit communication.
RP: That’s correct. And that’s the life and times of a clairvoyant medium James!
And so today I leave you with a thought. One thing is certain, the power of belief, the power of thought, will move reality in the direction of our belief. If you really believe you can do something you can. That is a fact. May the angels watch over you, spirit guide you and the divine bless you as you go about your lives.

WANTED: VOLUNTEER TRANSCRIBER

2006-08-30T07:42:00.000+10:00

Dear Listeners,

We have had a very important request from a hearing impared listener, who would like to be able to read the content of our podcast, because he can't hear it. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the resources to be able to offer this additional - but important - service to our deaf listeners at this time.

As you're probably aware, we put many hours each month into researching, recording and editing to give you all a professional sounding podcast each month, and for those of you who have heard it you will know that much of our content is unscripted.

A transcription of each episode costs approx. US$45 per episode to have professionally transcribed.

Presently we don't have any financial sponsorship or advertising to be able to fund this important service, so we are seeking your help: either as a volunteer transcriber or with donations to help support this service.

For a fast typer we believe that transcription may take an hour and a half per episode. We'd need submissions typed on a computer in either text format or in Microsoft Word format. Where possible we'd ask that each episode be transcribed within a week of release on our website. We can certainly notify you when the podcast is ready for release, and if prepared early, give you access to the prepared podcast early. Ideally we'd love a number of people so that the load can be shared.

WHAT CAN I DO?

VOLUNTEER
If you feel inclined to contribute to the In Spirit Podcast, you could make a huge difference by offering to transcribe an episode or two for us. If you are interested in helping us spread the word about the podcast then please send us a message.

Ruth Phillips joins listeners In Spirit

2006-07-18T13:04:00.000+10:00

PRESS RELEASE

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) July 13, 2006 -- Ruth Phillips and Medium Events announce a new way for people to learn about spiritual issues that matter to them through the In Spirit with Ruth Phillips podcast.

The show is fronted by one of Australia’s leading clairvoyant-mediums, Ruth Phillips who is well known in Australia for her appearances in the media on various television programs and publications.

The In Spirit with Ruth Phillips podcast is produced monthly and features a regular mix of news, interviews, guests and readings.

“The podcast is just like a radio program that you can download and take with you” explains co-host Ruth Phillips.

“What it means is that people can listen in their own time, on their own terms” she adds.

The podcast has many hundreds of listeners each month from all around the world including The Americas, Europe and the Asia Pacific.

“We even have listeners joining us in countries where English is not the native language, like Japan, Saudi Arabia, France, Germany and across Scandinavia.” offers James Williams, who is Ruth’s co-host and the technical producer of the podcast.

“It’s amazing to think that one small podcast can have so much reach” he adds.

People can register on the podcast website to have a live psychic reading on the podcast as well.

“As a Medium I know there are lots of people seeking confirmation that a passed loved one is okay on the other side” explains Phillips.

“With the podcast readings, I’m able to offer this service to many more people than those who can attend a reading or one of my live mediumship shows”, Phillips ads.

With just one episode under their belt, the In Spirit podcast team are looking forward to their second. They have received many pieces of positive feedback from listeners and many thoughtful questions.

“The questions help us steer the direction of the program. From the outset we decided that answering people’s questions would keep the show both fresh and relevant to our listeners.” explains Phillips.

The In Spirit with Ruth Phillips podcast is produced on or before the 1st of each month, and can be downloaded from the Ruth Phillips website at www.ruthiephillips.com/podcast.

How to calculate your day born number

2006-06-23T22:12:00.000+10:00

In the first episode of the podcast Gale Pickles was talking about calculating your day-born number. Now if you'd like to do this yourself here's how you do it!

Take your day of birth, if you are born on 1st to the 9th of the month then it's really easy. You are that number. If you're born on a higher number then you need to do some calculating. Say you are born on the 23rd of the month. You simply add the two numbers of your day of birth 2+3 which gives you the Day Born number of 5.

If you're born on say, the 29th of the month, then you would add 2+9 which gives you 11, then you add 1+1 which gives you a Day Born number of 2. It's that easy.

Do you have a question for Gale about numerology or anything she's discussed on the program. If you want a question answered, leave us a comment on the blog, and we'll work on answering it in an upcoming program.

Also - stay tuned for details of Gale's new website.

Blessings,
James
