The Australian Native Flame Tree

"Look, off to your right, about four metres in", my wife whispered.

As she stopped very still, on the side of the forest trail, I peered into the shadows of the undergrowth, the colours of brown earth, and a covering of yellowing leaves blended into the green leaves blended upwards into the green leaves of the small children of the forest giants towering above them.  I could now see an adult wallaby and her half grown joey standing perfectly still at the base of a small tree.  It almost seemed as if they were offering us the opportunity to photograph them, which we did.  Then, within a minute or two, they gently hopped off into the shadows and became invisible again.  This small occurrence is one of the many pleasant experiences we have regularly when we walk the trails of the sub-tropical forests, which still survive in the mountain areas of the district in which we live. We have enjoyed the fun and pleasure of hiking in the rainforest for about thirty-five years, and have never experienced a loss of respect, fascination and admiration for the wonders of this beautiful enviroment.  As we continued along this particular trail as it meandered its way through the massive trunks of the giants of the forest, the trail almost became like a ribbon of blue created by thousands of blue berries which were falling from the forest canopy at this time of year. This is when the idea of the Blue Forest came about.  I guess it was partly the carpet of blue berries on the trail.  However, it also created a realisation in my mind that it could help create a vehicle to help other people to recognise and share in the wonder of the mental and spiritual wellbeing which is created by experiencing the calmness and serenity of the forests and other beautiful enviroments which we all share.

Australian Rainforest Fungi

The road we chose to help us in this task was two fold.  Firstly, we have created  a number of Meditation CD's which focus on practical and easily approachable guided meditations.  We also produce beautiful Photographic Relaxation DVDs set to beautiful music. We have explained in simple terms the essence of what meditation is and how it can benefit people in their day to day lives.  The guided meditations provide you with the opportunity to simply relax and enjoy a time of peace and harmony to help enrich your life and perhaps the lives of those around you who you love and care for.  The second way we chose is through expanding our CD range to include a new series of personal growth and self development recordings.  We simply wish to help to create more awareness for as many precious people as to how special we all are.  How, by becoming more aware of our value and uniqueness, we can increase our peace and happiness and perhaps of greater significance by doing this, we can create the same benefits for our family, friends and loved ones and in a small but significant way, create a ripple of love and understanding that will travel out to all people in the world.

Love and blessing to all.
