“Wait, there will be a time” - That time is NOW!
I realised from a young age that my talents could not manifest in the situation of my childhood. I was impeded. Fortunately, my higher consciousness, possibly my grandmother energy, encouraged my restless heart to wait, whispered to me - 'wait - there will be a time.' More than twenty years later, my genius activated.
March has always been a special month for me.
The beginning of autumn in the south and welcoming spring in the north.
March is my birthday month a time of completion and new beginnings.
For each of us every day is a new beginning. Since the moment of one’s birth, we are daily in new beginnings, and even though they are mostly so routine, it is our daily life.
Kind, Calm, Connected, these words are a helpful mantra when we are going through times of stressfulness.
Recently I’ve added a little four-letter word that has changed the power of the mantra.
That little word is “self”.
Self-Kindness, Self-Calm, Self-Connected - practicing these delivers to our 'being-ness': “Self-Compassion”.

WELCOME TO 2024
This is my opportunity to express my gratitude for your love and support.
The past three years have been monumental. Through it I have seen so much growth and change in our students and course teachers/facilitators plus I recognise in my work a new depth and maturity.
Our team at Heart Leaders Academy daily encourage my heart as I witness their growth and change as more-and-more they step into the responsibility and joy of growing their self, their relationships and business.
Another of our students made a statement “I want to be a Master Teacher in Heart Leaders Academy”. That’s self-responsibility – making the statement knowing this is the year to begin and complete your Diploma studies.
FEBRUARY 2024 is the 40th anniversary of New Image Health School.
When I began teaching my own authored work, the New Image Health School transformed into Heart Leaders Academy.
I couldn’t resist…February 2024 has one extra day this year, a Leap Day! I leapt to bring you a live in person workshop at my home in Perth, Western Australia.
Transforming DNA Memories February 26 to 29.
Four days, eight focused sessions with meditations, proven protocol, specific keys to clearing, present lifetime and family lineage healing.
The course is accredited with the International Kinesiology College, Personal Development School, and on completion you will receive your coveted 32 hour IKC certificate. There are no pre-requirements, this training is open to everyone.
Transforming DNA Memories is also available online Feb 5th - 8th. https://sylviamarina.com/online-calendar
Our Heart Leaders Academy has grown, and we have made changes to the Teacher / Facilitator training process.
The facilitator training it is now open to those with no kinesiology background.
In the training process we teach every step of course facilitation required for students to be effective consultants. Each individual course which is completed builds toward your no-exam Heart Leaders Academy diploma.
The next in-person Transforming DNA Memories Teacher / Facilitator training is April 24-27 in Cashel. Ireland.
If you book now, there is time to complete the pre-course requirements. You can add these courses to your established work, or utilise them to begin a new career.
Wishing you a year of graceful harmony, prosperity and joy.

A personal note from Sylvia
Consciously breathe…feel your breath in your nostrils, in your bronchioles and lungs and release…now, do it again…it’s the gift of life.
As we come to the close of our 2023 calendar I recall a year of friendship, love, grace, kindness, music, conversations, connecting to nature and remembering…the song of the river doesn’t end at her banks or at the delta… life is a continuum.
All my life I’ve thought a lot about love.
Many of us In childhood experienced mixed and distorted messages that muddied the clear water of love.
“I love you when…you tidy your room”- that’s conditional love.
Statements like this often have a long term outcome. The child grows into a people pleaser, and in their endeavour to be loved, this may lead to acceptance of any behaviour from others (including relationships which are based on mental cruelty and physical violence).
This conditional love is not love - Love is not 'more or less. Love is simple - I LOVE YOU is what it is.
Time taught me, when we feel 'out of love' with those we know we love, it is inappropriate behaviour that has complicated the graceful flow of kindness.
An elegant word for love is grace.
Grace to me is the most beautiful word in the English language.
Grace is holding love in our heart, it is a clarion call to self-refinement and kindness.
Grace is a quality of mind, spirit/soul.
As we step into a new year, with new energy…consider the patterns of the past that were not graceful, kind or necessary. Remember we don’t fix ourself by breaking someone else.
My message is…step into the new year with the memories of love and refinement, grace and kindness, remembering once again, the song of the river doesn’t end at her banks neither does it end at the delta.
Continue to be your most beautiful self, love splendidly, and prosper as you step forward continuing to be all of YOU.
Blessings from my heart to yours..

A personal note from Sylvia
Inspired by story: Our elders and ancestors gathered at the campfire, a place of hopes and dreams, gentle hearts and calloused hands, memories and emotions, embers and ashes.
Intertwined in thoughtfulness and conversation, differences and passions, hymns and songs, lessons and stories, wisdom values and viewpoints.
The energies we feel in our “dreamtime knowing” become a guiding light…as we walk in millennia old footsteps. Our daily steps and attitudes are a continuum of their journeys. Their stories echo in our lives.
This morning as I arose from my dreamtime meditation and the ancestors still held my being in their embrace, my thoughts mused on the words of Irish playwright and poet…
“Life is no "brief candle" for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I hold for a moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.” George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
PREPARING FOR 2024
The future is defined “letting go and holding on and letting go of more”. As we prepare for the turning into the New Year, and our hearts gather with our families and friends for the holiday celebrations – amongst the good food – the gift giving – and the sharing of the love, it is time to check in and uncover the essence for our New Year Journey into 2024.
I invite you to join our final workshop of 2023 – come and discover the possibilities which are unfolding for 2024.

In the depths of Bali rainforests, it seemed that every memory that ever was came flooding into my conscious mind. A mix of numbness and joy, of touchable and untouchable, speak-able and unspeakable.
A close by, unseen gecko called, a frog croaked, and I the human…was filled with emotion as the wonderfulness of life spoke so loudly in the multi layered forest’s height and depth, colour and texture, movement and sound, sunshine and rain, rainbows and stars …the vibrant spirit of nature’s jungle. I breathed to experience another moment of ‘heaven on earth’.
