Monday 23rd March, coming to England this week

I am preparing for my visit to England which includes a workshop about the ‘Universal Rites of Passage’ and consultations in Cambridge and London.
If you are interested in having consultation with me in London, Canterbury or Cambridge—or attending the Cambridge workshop on April 4th—then drop me an email at ljl.lifechanges@yahoo.com

I am also looking forward to seeing the film The Watchmen, Battersea Park, the London cosmopolitan vibe, my daughter and some very special friends. The contrast between HK and England that I have experienced over the last 5 years has really sharpened my awareness of the social aspect of how life is an enchantment, a co-created magical construct.

One of the things that I am focusing upon at the moment is the new zeitgeist I see emerging, I will write a piece on it soon, but also I am catching this wave, surfing it and being part of its co-creation with Daniel Clarke in our joint project The Reality Activists.

Do You Really Want to Change Your Life?

Do You Really Want to Change Your Life?
The true answer is, only if you have to—either through crisis or a burning desire.

How can you change your life?

The first step, usually, is that after recognizing that one’s present reality is not working, people generally go back and explore old modes, old behaviours and old perceptions of what life is or ‘should’ be.

The next imperative involves having a vision or a sense that a new life is on the horizon. This requires both faith and imagination.

I am talking here about a major reality shift; a complete new perception, a new Enchantment. However, whether it is a major shift of reality that you seek, or just a positive change within the framework of your present reality, the essential principles of the ‘Law of Attraction’ do apply.

Intentions and clarity of vision that are energized with feeling—which are then released and detached from—always, yes always, attract the opportunities to create the reality you desire. As soon as you have fully handed your intention over—released it to the unconscious—your energy will pull in the first opportunity that you are required to act upon. A phone call, an intuitive flash, a chance meeting will appear. I know this to be true; I know this to be really that simple.

Simple, huh? Yes, simple—but not easy.

Why is that? What’s missing?

The fact is we live within multiple levels of perception and reality. These are the Enchantments, each of which is encoded with differing wants that can negate our intentions.

How I Can Help
As a Life Change Facilitator, when I work with clients on a continuous basis, I help them with understanding their master intention for this life; the life purpose. In your astrological birth chart, your life purpose is revealed by the Dragon’s Head (also known as the Moon’s North Node). The Dragon’s Head shows us the soul’s pre-life agreement—the agreement and life intention you have made with yourself before birth.

I help clients clarify their true intentions. We all have a multitude of diverse and seemingly contrary desires. Within that cacophony of wanting, there are a few predominant intentions, all of which are flavours of the life purpose. What I have found is that people have a number of desires that are always coherent with the master intention of life purpose, yet each reveals a slightly different expression of that purpose. In other words, we have a destiny, but we also have free will.

Once we can see our predominant desires, free from the white noise of lesser wants, we are then ready to make a choice. By working with someone who can guide our exploration of our psyche in regards to intentions, it becomes much easier to see our priorities, choose, commit and set our clear intentions.

Intentions that are stated, written down, shared with allies and enriched with imagery then become part of a coherent life vision. The light of this coherent vision is a laser beam, a clear message, a frequency that then goes out into the matrix of Life. Life is benevolent and abundant in its totality. The universe says “Yes!” It affirms our prayer, not necessarily so much the exact wording, but certainly the total energy and overall frequency.

If you pray desperately for something, the frequency you are transmitting is desperation. The genie that grants the wishes then sends you more of the same. Similarly, if we are in a state of enjoying our life as it is, focusing on the joy and abundance already within our life, Life then increases the joy and abundance. Whatever we focus upon, we become.

Now this does not mean we are in total control of our life. This is where humility, adaptability, openness, relationship and necessary adjustment all come into the picture. In short, although it is divinely right to set intentions, we also learn to have some detachment. We say “This is my intention, and now I hand it over,” and where necessary surrender to Life’s greater wisdom. Working with intentionality is how we become more creative and conscious of how reality is co-created; of how the inherently magical nature of consciousness manifests as our life and the world in which it is set.


The Enchanting World

Another element of Life Change Facilitation is helping people to understand the multiple levels of reality that I call Enchantments, which make up the collective co-created terrain.

Our life is about us, our evolving desires and our enjoyment of Life and how that fits with the greater reality. As we grow, our chosen intentions naturally and increasingly benefit more and more people.

If we are going through a fundamental life change then we are usually shifting our centre of gravity, our emotional centre, from one Enchantment to another.

One benefit of the Enchantments model is that it enables us to have a vision of a future after our old world has dissolved.

What applies to the individual also applies to society, so another benefit of understanding the Enchantments model is a greater understanding of the intelligence of Life and how it is operating in the world today.

My Life Change Facilitation is only suited to those who are truly committed to change, either through necessity or through intense desire.

In general terms, the primary period for this level of change—during one of the universal rites of passage—is from around 36 to 42 years of age, and sometimes at 50 to 52. Some rare individuals will be open to further transformations at around the age of 62.

Other more personal major life changes depend upon uniquely individual situations, mirrored by the corresponding astrological transits in your own chart.


The Big Q
I have devised a fun self-assessment questionnaire called the Big Q, which introduces the main adult Enchantment levels and how they play out in your life. Just 11 questions with multiple choice answers. Email me at ljl.lifechanges@yahoo.com for a free PDF copy.
