“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star! But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special!” – Stephen Hawking~
I was looking up at the stars late one night, it was a beautiful black velvet sky with millions of tiny little diamonds just sitting there looking down on little ‘ol me! I could sit and stare at the stars for hours and never get bored with them. I have always found fascination in the night sky. So I decided to look up a few facts about our sparkly little friends and here is what I came up with, I hope you enjoy.
The turbulent ocean of air in which we live thins out without any definite boundary, but by one international definition, space begins 100km (62 miles) above the earth’s surface. The sky beyond seems to turn around every 24 hours- reflecting the rotation of our planet – and with the naked eye we can see the ever-changing dance of our nearest neighbors, fellow members of the solar system. The sun, the moon, comets and 5 of earth’s fellow planets. They move against a backdrop of about 6000 fixed stars that maintain the same position in relation to one another, far beyond these, in the remotest cosmos we can see just four faint patches that are Galaxies beyond our own.
The stars twinkle simply because of the constantly shifting atmosphere that their light passes through on the way to our eyes. The planets actually have discs, lightrays from different parts of each disc are affected differently by the moving air and add up to give us a steady image. Seen from space or from the surface of the airless moon planets or stars do not twinkle ~ what we see in the sky as stars are actually suns. Suns that have their own planetary systems…………[part 2 from Georgina’s Stars to come]
~the following is a poem by GEORGINA RICHARDSON~ for a very special star of her own….
A SPECIAL STAR
There is a special star up in the night sky
That shines down on me and you
It has a special name
It’s called “LITTLE ROO”
The star had a special blessing on the night Andrew died
You will see it shining extra bright up in the heavens high
It winged it’s way to earth on 4/5/09
To carry his spirit heavenward
Now it has a very special shine
He joined our spirits now with our Lord
Now he shines down on you and me
When I look up to heaven now, he’s so plain for me to see
If you also look up
You’ll see one shining extra bright
And it will twinkle beautifully to quietly say
” Tell my mum please don’t cry
I’m with Angels now
So mum please believe, I really am ok..”
By: Georgina Richardson (for son Andrew)
A star has been officially named after Andrew’s nickname, “LITTLE ROO” and we have a certificate with it’s number and position in the sky. My husband Geoff sent away for the certificate as a surprise for me when we lost Andrew to cancer 4/5/09 aged 31…

Thank you T` for wanting to put this one on, I feel quite honoured to be able to write for this wonderful blog. I`m thrilled that you liked it. I enjoyed writing it but I got a shock when you told me that it`s over 2000 words long! I wrote it all out by hand for my journal so altogether it`s turned into a blummin thesis!!!
I love you sweetcheeks

Dear Tony…so glad you chose to share this here….Perfect love wrote this from a very tender heart that shines and shares with God’s gift of gracious love and inspiration. Dearest Georgina, I can not type as often now but was blessed by this so much I had to try. Love to you and your husband Geoff and family. Love for Tony and Cheri and family. To celebrate the love for which we were created and formed and live out this love given that is as bright as the stars .Love Always that is greater still to be close to us as Emanuel and gives us each other and created families where children are born loved and nurtured ….a gift we celebrate every year at Christmas and Christ Jesus birth celebrated now especially. I love you and delight with you being able to work so well with Tony at this crucial time xxxxxxxoooooooo.blessings unceasing to you from my heart …xxxooo Kate
Thank you for that lovely message Kate, it`s so nice to hear from you again sweety. I hope you are getting stronger and you are also in my prayers honey. Stay strong sweety and keep fighting these problems and we will all get you through all this as best we can. There are a lot of prayers being sent with love to help you through this difficult journey, so keep your chin up sweety because we are all here for you. I`m really glad that you enjoyed my contribution enough to work so hard to leave a message as I know how hard it is for you, so this message from you is very special to me and will never be forgotten.
Remember that I am hear for you and you can talk to me any time about anything sweety, my light will never leave your side and I am sending healing love and light to you to smother your soul in loving warmth as you sleep. I do this when I meditate each morning at 8am and each night at 10pm so if you work out the time difference between England and yourself you will be able to sit quietly in a nice warm comfortable chair and you can try to tune into me then by simply thinking about me as you try to meditate, it is easy to learn how to do it. Let me know if you sense or feel anything when you try to tune in. Tony is six hours behind England but I don`t know what that would be for you! The more you relax the easier it is for me to get through to you.
I love you sweety

Here is another related article for you all that I have written today.
ATRAL PROJECTION
Astral projection – also known as out of body experience, etheric or spirit body travel – refers to the sensation of floating or flying while the physical body remains inert. To many indigenus people throughout the world, astral projection is a reality, both in sleep and during waking hours. We all have this ability already in our brains! It is like with any learning process, you have to start at the begining and teach yourself the discipline off meditation and learn about the chakra system because this is all connected.
No one can be sure whether the person is traveling in their mind which is refered to as `Remote Viewing` or their inner almost identicle spiritual body actually leaves the physical body for a while. Witnesses describe how during an out of body experience, the physical body of the astral traveller seems lifeless and quite flopy. It is quite easy and safe to learn. Meditation and relaxation are the begining of the journey into the wonderful world of astral traveling and it`s very useful for personal development. These metaphysical subjects are a great experience that help you to learn more about yourself and in turn it enables you to grow and develop the emotional, physical, spiritual and psychic you!
HOW TO EXPERIENCE ASTRAL PROJECTION!
Initially you may need to deliberately visualise each of the stages, but before long it will happen spontaneously!
Choose a time where you can be uninterupted for at least thirty minutes.
In advance, switch on a lamp on the top of a wardrobe or a high shelf, or focus on lit candles that you put somewhere above you. In eather case you should lie in the opposite corner of the room from the source of the light so that you can easilly and comfortably look up at it.
Play very slow, soothing music to screen out any disruptive sounds.
Lie with your head propped up on a sofa, a bed or a comfortable chair, so that you are totally comfortable and your spine is straight and you can comfortably look up to the light.
I ask my guardian angel to protect me as I travel and to bring me back safely.
Picture yourself surrounded by white light.
Breathe slowly, deeply and regularly through your diaphram and push away any irrelevant thoughts or worries.
Hold two different coloured astral chrystals in each hand to make a spiritual link through your palm chakras.
Looking up at the light, breathe in gently and then exhale. With each inhaled breath, draw the light all around you and picture the light getting larger as you start to move towards it.
Start counting slowly outload, still breathing gently and slowly. This brings your heart rate down to a comfortable relaxed level and in turn helps to lower your blood pressure and so relaxing you further. Which is all good news for you and your physical health and well-being!
Starting with one, still breathing gently and slowly, count aloud as though walking up diagonal steps of light in your mind and eventially you will find that you have a sensation of floating rather than climbing, do not look down as you will inadvertantly break the connection. Don`t forget that this all takes practise and patience, so don`t be worried if nothing is happening. You are in fact training your sixth sense to enable you to develop further in the school of metaphysics!
When you are surrounded by light and you have the sensation of being high up and floating as if swimming, just allow yourself to relax further and enjoy the sensation. You can not come to any harm, so you are quite safe.
If you are in a small room with a low ceiling, practice floating out through an open door and moving around the house or even outdoors! by imagining a wall melting away and becoming a curtain of light.
When you feel ready, move downwards again counting backwards and when you reach the ground, hug your body and you will experience a warm liquid sensation as your physical and spiritual body re-connect and merge together.
Please do not see this as a task, see it as a treat for your soul and welbeing.
Bon Voyage!
