The city of Melbourne is known for their appreciation for art, food, music and celebration.  Each year an incredibly large show takes place during one week in September.  This past extravaganza took place on the 17-27, and included all aspects of life in Melbourne.  5 star hotels were booked full, not only with people traveling to the city to attend the show, but with the hundreds of vendors from around the world who were involved in this huge event.  That event was the Royal Melbourne Show held at the Grand Pavilion.  This is one of the most popular commercial venues in the city, and for that week it was filled with all sorts of products to buy, and food and wine to taste and enjoy.

This is located in downtown Melbourne close to the main boulevard and everyone in attendance was able to experience the best of the best.  The groceries and the produce available was of the highest quality of everything from dairy products to the beef industry, wine, herbs, and fruits and vegetables.  Cooking demonstrations were given by some of the top chefs in the world, and of course samples were given out, making everyone in the theater very happy to say the least.  And that’s not all, there was an exhibit on Home and Living that offered suggestions to people on subjects such as home improvement ideas, gardening tools and advice, crafts, and any other gadget one would use around the house.  This was a great exhibit for anyone who loves do it yourself home repairs and remodeling.

The Royal Champion dog show took place and there were vendors selling anything in the world one may wish to buy their pets.  The market show really had it all, from centers just for children, to book vendors and those selling herbs for Chinese healing techniques.  The arts and crafts exhibits at the Art, Craft and Cookery pavilion is one of the longest running participants in the Royal Melbourne show, participating for more the one hundred years.  Here one could find not only art to buy, but classes to take and supplies to purchase.  This is one of the largest, all encompassing trade shows in the world, and is well worth making a trip to Melbourne each September.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge was opened and connecting the business district in Sydney to the Northern portion of Sydney in 1932.  This has become a main gateway across the Harbour, not only good for business and commerce but tourism as well, whether one is looking for adventure or luxury, Sydney hotel accommodations are plentiful no matter which side of the Harbour you decide to stay.  And now the Bridge has become a new hot spot for adventurous climbs or leisure walks.  Since its opening the bridge has been a major tourist attraction, due to the shear size of the structure, and due to the incredible architectural achievement that it is.

One of the ways in which to catch a birds’ eye view of the city, the wonder of the Sydney Opera House, and the Harbour is by taking a climb on the bridge.  A climb on the bridge will cost a bit of money, and you will not be allowed to take your own photos while you are up there, but staff on the bridge will take photos for you, however the photographs must be paid for, but if I were standing on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge–I would definitely want a photo to bring home with me.

The climb will take you to the very top of the arches, which stand four hundred and thirty two feet about sea level.  There are many points of endurance to the Bridge when you are just wanting to talk a walk, and walks are free. A visit to the Center for Sydney Visitors will provide you with maps for the entrances.  Of course, as there is quite a bit less danger involved with simply walking across the bridge, you are able to take your own photos.  The Rocks-Milsons Point route will only take about thirty minutes to get from one side to the other, so its not a long walk, but if it is summer in Sydney,be aware of the heat, and that you will be walking through metal railings, a hat and appropriate shoes are a must.

The thought of being able to experience my past lives, to be able to travel back and see all the events, all the places and people who may have shaped what I am today, has always intrigued me. Was I ever famous?  Wealth?  Have I lived in an exotic place or traveled the world? The possibilities are endless. It has never occurred to me to be more curious to find out if I indeed had any past lives. It wasn’t until a friend of mine, one who I absolutely trust, did some research and realized that past life regression is used by many as a healing tool. Regression can help with conditions ranging from stress and anxieties to phobias, or even trouble with money and relationships issues can all be traced back to their roots in a particular past life.

When I was staying in one of the Melbourne 5 star hotels, someone mentioned to me about this woman who practices past life regression therapy out of The Mystical Dragon shop which is located in Melbourne’s south eastern suburbs. I went to go visit with her and ask her some questions. She told me a lot of people do have blockages in their lives where they feel they just can’t accomplish what they want to do, even do the dishes can be a real drag for them. So, she takes them back to touch base with what it is that might have occurred to cause their current situation. When regressed, it’s the actual witnessing of their past life that links up with the current issues of today which allow them to once again move forward with their lives.

She said with all forms of alternative therapies, the lack of scientific proof seems to attract mush skepticism. One problem is there is no evidence to prove people are experiencing actual past lives. Many say it’s all in the mind, a dream state created and controlled by the hypnotherapist. But, I decided to let her regress me, and I was amazed with just how easy it was for me to experience one of my past lives. I was a scullery girl back in what seemed like the medieval days, and I was horrible treated by my employer and all the upper tiered staff of a castle, I couldn’t tell where the castle was, but I could tell we were speaking in Gaelic. So, now I know why today, I refuse to clean my house and why I hire a maid service and tip them extra well.
