On 15th June, Valerie Odon was guest speaker at the WSN meeting. Valerie is, in her own words, a loving and experienced spiritual leader. She teaches the material first brought through by channel Alice A Bailey and Dwjahl Khul. Her lifelong interest in meditation and the esoteric arts inspired her to learn and study from a number of Buddhist masters before she started studying with various schools in the Alice Bailey tradition.

Valerie spent a few moments talking about her training, which began officially 13 years ago in a Buddhist framework, but unofficially when she was a few months old when her Grandfather took her to the beach every night to watch the sunset. He also taught her how to look at the stars, and this habit has staid with her to this day. Valerie works with solar light and the seven stars and seven rays, and the custodians of the divine will, which she interprets as liberation and the building of a bridge of light. The consequent radiance that can be achieved is a result of skill and strategies.

After Valerie's introductory talk, we engaged in two meditations. The first meditation served to relax and attune us to the work we were about to undertake, and focused on love & light and the opening of our hearts. After a short break, we worked as a group to increase spiritual light on the planet. We used our divine sense of imagination and concentration to energize the project started by Vivienne and Nick in creating the Seventh Wave Wellbeing Centre. It was a lovely and powerful visualisation, which should serve to strengthen the Centre as it continues to grow and reach more people in our community.

Next month's speaker will be Nick Cummins, crystal healer and Vivienne's business partner in the Seventh Wave venture, on Thursday 20th July at 8 pm.
