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.
