Press Release Summary: In Johannesburg, South Africa we found a farm with beautiful
soft healing energy. For many years, the farm has been used for the education and
entertainment of young and old from all walks of life. This beautiful farm belongs
to the City of Johannesburg and is under threat of being developed. Rietvlei Farm is
excited to introduce Star Gardens, a spiritual garden of gratitude.

Press Release Body: The Project manager of Star Gardens, Rene Geldenhuys is trained
as a physiotherapist, acupuncturist and craniosacral therapist. Rene does energy
balancing in the body and assist patients to deal with ascension symptoms. She
believes that man must live closer to earth for their mutual healing. She is
passionate about healing of the planet and its inhabitants.

Design and landscaping, Winks Girdwood from Nelspruit, South Africa. Winks says \"The
earth and her healing are my life. I am honored to have been the instrument through
which this garden has come into being and give thanks to Rene who has seen the
significance and made it a reality.

Winks says: \"The Star Gardens have been developed over the past three years.\" The
body of the garden is made up of thirteen star symbols which I was prompted to relay
to paper by my guide, an ancient being whose name is Bendai. Each symbol is a galaxy
within its universe. Each galaxy has a people which, in time, came to planet earth
to create the peoples of this earth as we know it today in all their diversities. A
few words are attached to each symbol to point one in the direction of the necessary
area of healing.

Designing these symbols into a garden I was drawn to the sacred geometry of the
Fruit of Life. Drunvalo Melchizedek describes this as "one of the holiest and most
sacred forms in existence". Added to these 13 symbols are three more to bring in the
male, female and relationship aspects.

The plants, crystals, sands and water used within each symbol will be used to create
vibrational remedies.

The lines of the square, triangle, six pointed star and hexagonal will be laid out
as pathways joining all the circles creating a unique labyrinth. Unlike one pathway
in and one out this design permits a person a choice of directions. Simply by
standing within the circle of choice will begin a process of healing for the
individual. A persons inner knowing will always set them on the needed path and
within the needed circle.

As you step into the Universes of this garden close the fear from your minds. Open
your hearts, feel the purity, feel the peace, feel the love, feel the joy, be the
gratitude and permit the light of who you are to join with that of the stars as the
beams radiate across our land and the globe bringing peace to our 'rainbow nation'
and the peoples of our planet earth.\"

Labyrinths go far back in antiquity. Through the centuries, they were laid out in
many countries and during the thirteenth century were created in many cathedrals as
a representation of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land during the crusades.

Labyrinths have been used as meditation tools for over 4000 years. The labyrinth has
deep significance for many people and is regarded as healer of past sadness and the
bringer of a sense of release. The idea is that as you walk inwards, you leave
behind daily stress and worries. Take time at the centre to receive clarity, then
walk out into the world and face life with newly received clarity.

A labyrinth has no dead ends, but has just one path which leads, after complex
meandering, to the centre, where a pause for meditation is taken before taking the
same path back and out. A labyrinth may be drawn out on a level surface, to a
specific design and may be planted or done with painted stones.

There is a strong dividing line between a labyrinth and a maze. A maze is regarded
as a puzzle to be solved in a light-hearted way, as barriers are met, forcing one to
find a different way. A labyrinth has no such barriers, only with sharp turns to
slow down the walker.

As Pythagoras taught, Sacred Geometry is an ancient, universal language
(land-guage). Geometric formations hold information and communicate ideas; not
necessarily at a cognitive level, but often at a cellular level. They in-form us on
a cellular level, just as our cells, the building blocks of our physiology, inform
our bodies, providing a template for our development. Our cells are vehicles of
involution; the movement from spirit to matter, as well as vehicles of evolution;
movement from matter to spirit. One such tool of Sacred Geometry is the Phi Ratio,
the number 1.6180339... (1.618 is commonly used) The progression or development of
the whole of nature, from the subatomic to the super galactic, follows this ratio.
