CONTENTS

WHY READ THIS BOOK?

My aim in writing this book is to provide beginners with an open, honest and accessible guide to the age-old subject of Numerology, showing how it can help you learn more about yourself and your true needs and how, with Numerologys aid, you can open up new perspectives that will help to transform every area of your life and the world around you.

Numerologists define Numerology as an ancient meta-physical science, founded on the cyclical relationships of sound and numbers, letters, the human personality and life events. You may think numbers are simply black and white digits that give us specific flat information, but they are much more than that. Numerology is an insightful way of working with numbers (specifically the numbers 1 to 9 as we will go on to see) that allows us to tap into their infinitely creative energies. Numerology, therefore, is able to reveal golden nuggets of information that can potentially change life on many levels physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. When we start listening to what the numbers tell us, our awareness broadens and we are able to find our own natural rhythm in life, bringing out more of our true selves.

You may have read about Numerology in magazines or listened to friends discussing their numbers. However, you may not have realized how fundamental numbers are to existence. People often dont realize, for instance, how everything moves in numerical cycles from 1 to 9, which we can learn to interpret through our mind and intuition. I believe that, through Numerology, it is possible to gain enhanced clarity, truth, love, wisdom and understanding, therefore leading to greater fulfilment in our daily lives. So let the numbers guide you as they have guided many sages through the ages. Youll be amazed by the results.

INTRODUCTION

Why this subject?

Numbers are present in our daily lives in all kinds of ways, from telephone numbers, purchase order numbers and currencies, to wedding and graduation dates. When viewed through the lens of Numerology, all such numbers can open up a whole new world for us. They speak to our subconscious mind and bring to the surface infinite potential for change. They help us see through situations and tap into the innate wisdom within ourselves.

Numerology is a positive life force. It helps us to live in the present by providing solid, yet complete, awareness and insight. It enables us to reflect on the past and let things go. It helps us to change our perception and so to alter our future. In short, it can help us to make the most of life.

Numerology is based on the numbers 1 to 9, with zero representing the unseen, the energy behind the physical and the potential for the whole of creation. As well as having its own qualities, each number is constantly influenced by the numbers around it. For example, 8 is influenced by the numbers 7 (before) and 9 (after). Each is also indicative of the types of experience we have or may have in life. This is because each of the 9 numbers is associated with specific factors that can influence us at different physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.

We are constantly influenced by the vibrational energy of numbers. By being more consciously aware of their essence, we can enhance their effect on our health and lifestyle, career and relationships, and more. Esoteric Numerology, the system I practise, creates the space we need within ourselves to connect with our inner self and so helps to speed up the process of self-transformation.
