It can be used as a surrogate for young children and can release a child from screaming tantrums and bad habits. E.F.T. can be used for anything whatever the problem may be. E.F.T. can be fun, which helps to relax the client. It puts things that have previously felt very serious and worrying to the client into perspective. As a Spiritual Master I use my intuitive abilities, very often feeling what the client feels which can result in a high success rate for my clients. It releases old energies which clears the way for a more positive outlook to what is no longer a problem i.e. clearing limiting beliefs and emotions to discover and unleash the best that is within them. I use E.F.T. alone or incorporate it within my hypnotherapy sessions, clearing emotional distress caused by traumatic events, which hold us back in our life. The list is endless. I could not ask for better tools along with the help I receive from Spirit.

I find I can use this therapy with confidence, especially on children, it helps enormously if they have issues with dyslexia, ADHD, Aspergers syndrome and have been diagnosed along the autistic scale.

In essence E.F.T. is a emotional version of acupuncture wherein we stimulate certain Meridian points by tapping on them with our fingertips. (unbalanced energy Meridians). Properly done, this frequently reduces the therapeutic process from months or years down to hours or minutes. Since emotional stress can contribute to pain, disease and physical ailments, we often find that E.F.T. provides astonishing physical relief.

Enormous strides can be had by introducing E.F.T. either alone or as part of another emotional therapy process. Often doing the job for you cleanly and thoroughly in one or two sessions… and we sometimes achieve noticeable results in a few brief rounds of E.F.T. Once you have seen how well E.F.T. clears out emotional debris, such as headaches, back pain and other discomforts which often tend to improve or vanish as emotional issues improve. Your vision may become clearer and everyday stress may take less toll on your system. Accordingly, you can apply it to just about everything. That is one of the most astonishing things about it. By using the same basic procedure for your fear of public speaking as you do for improving your golf score. Other issues include fear, trauma, depression, grief and many more. I am not saying that E.F.T is perfect, one should never say that about any therapy, but it usually works well and the results are sometimes spectacular. Because of it‘s unique approach, it can work where nothing else does. You will find that it is usually quite gentle and you can often achieve substantial relief with little or no pain. This is not true for everyone, however. Some people’s issues are so intense that the mere mention of them causes emotional or physical pain. Given time, even these may be resolved efficiently with E.F.T.

In the early part of the 20th Century hypnosis was used almost exclusively by stage hypnotists, thereby projecting a hopelessly distorted view of this very powerful therapeutic tool. However, in 1955 the British Medical Association endorsed the practice of hypnosis in Medical School Education, since when it has become a valuable addition to conventional medical treatment.

The actual experience of being hypnotised is very difficult to describe, neither asleep nor awake. All hypnotic states are characterised by a tremendously pleasant state of relaxation, an altered state of consciousness into which individuals allow themselves to enter so that desired, beneficial suggestions may be given directly to the unconscious mind. Thus, Hypnosis is a natural, effective way of making contact with the inner (unconscious) self, as well as a tremendous reservoir of unrecognised potential strength and knowledge, ie the forgotten assets.

Nobody can be hypnotised against their will, and even when hypnotised, people can still reject any of the suggestions given if they are not appropriate.

Modern Hypnotherapists use Hypnosis not only for medical problems but also as an aid for the resolution of many problems of psychological origins.

It is estimated that approximately 85% of people of all age groups will readily respond to clinical Hypnotherapy. It is often successful when other, more conventional methods of treatment have failed.

Hypnotherapy is completely natural and safe and there are no harmful side effects. When administered by a professionally trained and skilled Hypnotherapist the benefits are long lasting and often permanent.

Listed here are some of the conditions for which Hypnotherapy is indicated as a practical treatment.

• Breaking unwanted habits (eg smoking, nail biting)
• Dermatalogical conditions; psoriasis, exzema, warts,
• Infertility therapy
• PMT
• Obsetrics for painless childbirth
• Pain control; Minor surgery, dentistry, arthritis and general aches and pains
• Phobias, emotional problems, insomnia,
• Worries and anxieties of everyday life
• Prevention of stress and tensions
• Reduction of High Blood Pressure
• Risk of Cardiovascular disease
• Weight Control
• Sporting Performance
• Self Confidence Issues
• Achieving our natural potential

Past Life Regression
I would advise anyone to experience past lives, as these lives can sometimes explain why we have experienced things in this life. Why we have had compulsions to go and visit somewhere or do something and yet we cannot understand why. In past lives we can indentify someone we know in this life and help us to understand why it is that they are in our life at this particular time. Very often it is because there is unfinished business to be completed between them.

I teach people how to hypnotise themselves; I recommend it for stress, both within our private life and the work place. It is such a comfortable and relaxed state to be in where we can ‘Just Be’. We can whilst in this state give ourselves positive suggestions maybe about something that is bothering us or we may merely want to improve our confidence.

For the past four/five years now I have been helping clients to remove all of their negative energies, which accumulate within the body. Sometimes these negative energies have settled within the chakras, which if not dealt with can cause dis-ease, which later on can become disease. I call this ‘baggage’ and clients can always identify what it is that I mean. When all of this baggage has been removed they feel as if a weight has been lifted off their shoulders. They can then progress within their own life and journey free of anything that would hold them back from pursuing their life’s purpose. I have a high success rate with Hypnotherapy and would recommend anyone to experience the relaxation that comes from this.

Children can be helped by Hypnotherapy. I use this method with them. Very often these children are ‘Indigo’ children, which to be in a relaxed state is quite easy for them. If they find themselves in a situation that they are not happy with, ‘Indigo’ children can put themselves without knowing into this altered state of consciousness themselves. With my help they can then sort out whatever their particular problem may be.

Sometimes when the client arrives to see me they can be quite nervous, when we have talked for a little while their fears have usually gone and they relax into this altered state very easily. We then deal with their issues and they come back feeling renewed, refreshed and feeling that a weight has been lifted off their shoulders. It is not always a ‘one-off’ session, it depends on how fast or slow the client works whilst in this relaxed state and of course how many issues we have to deal with.

• Smoking cessation is a one-off session.
• Phobias are very often a one-off session
• Psoriasis, eczema is a two session programme
• Baggage is very often more than one or sometimes two sessions depending how much the client has to deal with.
• Weight loss is a four session programme
• Confidence is a four-six session programme

My practice is situated in Leigh, Lancashire

Perhaps this should not be surprising as we ourselves have crystalline bodies and this is one reason why crystals have become a natural tool for healing purposes. It is known from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs on emerald slabs that they were used for therapeutic & cosmetic purposes. Various tribes around the world still use minerals and crystals for magic, ceremony and healing. However they are used, they are powerful tools and need to be respected. As they are tools, they can be used for negative as well as positive reasons and therefore cleansing and dedicating a newly found crystal is one of the first priorities we need to attend to, so that a crystal  “from this point on, is only used for the highest good of all”.

The negative potential of crystals has caused some religious belief systems to assume that anyone connected with Crystal Healing must be a practitioner of the Dark Arts! Nothing could be further from the truth. However it is always wise to go to a properly trained Crystal Healer to be sure of a safe and caring healing experience. As crystals are tools they are only as good and as pure as the practitioner who is using them. Your intent is what most influences your experience with a crystal.

Science knows that crystals such as Quartz, Corundum (Ruby, Sapphire), Tourmaline, Diamond etc absorb, store and transmit energy that passes through them. This in modern times has been used with great effect in industry, in items such as computers and watches, in medicine and surgery and now in Space programs. Although Quartz, in particular, is grown artificially within a few days, (for industrial purposes), it is interesting that when it is needed for programs in a space rocket, only natural Quartz will do, as its greater precision in storing and transmitting signals is vital in outer space. It makes you respect crystals even more when you think those special abilities have taken millions of years to evolve and grow

Diamond

The Crystal Kingdom has developed into a huge variety of form and colour. According to those who have learnt to use and love them, each crystal group has been found to have its own variety of healing and spiritual uses. You will find, as you read various books on the subject, the same crystal may appear to have different qualities, depending on which book you read! This is not to be fretted over, as understanding the qualities of crystals is like looking at a gemstone and that, while it is the same gemstone, each person cannot help but look at it in a different way, through its different facets, thus receiving different facets of the same truth. Secondly, each individual will resonate in a unique way with each piece of crystal and therefore each of us will react in a unique way to it. For this reason it is very important we also learn to use and trust our intuition when choosing the ‘right’ crystal for a particular reason. Just because the book you are looking at doesn’t recommend your crystal for that particular purpose, doesn’t mean you have picked the ‘wrong’ crystal. Many of us have learnt that crystals choose you! This is due to intuition and personal energy resonance – the two vibrations of your crystal and your self, vibrating in harmony, an entrainment of comfortable knowing.

Quartz Agate

Here are two examples of crystals chosen for a very different purpose from what you might expect, according to common accepted beliefs. Rose Quartz is traditionally and widely accepted as a crystal for emotional balance. As a Crystal Healer I was surprised, one day, to be Spiritually Guided to use it to cleanse the negative effects of chemotherapy. This was specific to one patient’s needs and may not be appropriate for everyone in this situation. Another example was in the use of Ruby. I have a gentleman I have seen as a client for many years and he suffers with S.A.D. each winter. We have found that Ruby, placed around his head, on the pillow, affects these depleted energies, and uplifts his mood considerably. Ruby is traditionally a crystal for the lower body, especially as a grounding crystal.

So, you may begin to see, crystals can be used in a variety of ways for Spiritual and healing purposes. From Spiritual Development, healing and energy balancing, to psychic awareness and protection; also for strengthening the mind, the energies of the body and the emotions, not to mention the Spirit. They also have a place in balancing and cleansing the energies of the home, the garden, your pets and in the work-place.

Crystals also come in every conceivable size, shape, polish and colour variation. Some people will only work with natural untouched crystals as they want to be sure they are in their original, natural shape, such as clusters, single crystals and ‘massive’ forms (slabs or chunks of crystal – mainly quartz types – made of microcrystalline crystals). Others may only wish to work with smoothed forms such as tumbestones, spheres, freeforms and eggs. This area of polished crystals opens up a whole new realm of appreciation if you are a visual type. Unless a crystal is of a  high grade, it can be difficult to see inside it, at the beautiful formations that Nature creates as it grows. These wisps, ‘stars’, angel and fairy ‘wings’, rainbows and ‘landscapes’ are a stunning vision in themselves and surely add to the love one develops for the Crystal Kingdom. You do not have to be in the New Age scene to recognise how very beautiful this can be. There are many who collect crystals for the pure pleasure of what Nature can produc

Inside Quartz Crystal

Polished crystals also open up opportunities to use crystal in sacred geometric forms and precision healing tools such as wands and massage pieces. Quartz Platonic Solids, famously defined by Plato over 2000 years ago, can be useful for advanced healing and balancing techniques. They consist of the 5 principle geometric shapes found in Nature. Other polished forms that are more easily available are the four sided pyramid, the prism, the round-ended wand, the sphere and the egg.

Several forms of complementary therapies are adopting simple crystal healing techniques as part of their practise, as therapists train in these different fields. For instance, massage therapies, Reflexology, Acupressure, Spiritual and Reiki Healing are all beginning to embrace the use of crystals directly on the body. A wider variety of therapists use crystals to enhance and cleanse the energy of their therapy rooms and others adopt the use of crystals for Feng Shui reasons. Also many now wear crystal jewellery to enhance the Aura in various ways.

To develop a passion for crystals is to develop a passion for life! It’s a bit of an addiction actually and never fails to fascinate. It doesn’t have to be expensive but your collection can range from a humble tumble to a majestic Madonna. As a Crystal Healer I prefer to collect and use high grade pieces as I prefer their vibration. However there is no right or wrong – if you use your intuition sensibly and lovingly. When we bring crystals into our lives, we invite their transformative qualities to work at the very core of our being. In time this brings inner strength, comfort and healing. They are such simple and beautiful tools and yet have the capability of creating great internal shifts, which can go on to reflect in your outer life, with the potential of lifting you out of old patterns of behaviour and other states of dis-ease. Not only do their crystalline energies affect us, but also their ability to carry Light and colour, which greatly enhances their fabulous vibrational qualities for healing and transformation.

There is a saying that real life is what happens to us while we’re planning other things. Somewhere along the journey we allow ourselves to be hi-jacked, either by circumstances or other people, into going into a different direction, and then, once we realize we’re lost, have to spend the rest of our loves trying to ‘find ourselves’ again. We don’t have to look far – the real self is there all the time under the mask of defence mechanisms and conditioning we have manufactured over the years to avoid being hurt or seen to be ‘different’.

Children naturally think of themselves as beautiful and important. They are then taught other kinds of behavious – by parents, siblings, family members, friends, teachers. We react automatically in the way we have learned over a long period of time – we ger unhappy, hurt, frustrated. We accept this as normal behaviour and do not challenge it, and we reinforce what we keep repeating. It requires a great deal of work to unlearn the habits of thought and action we have assimilated over the years until now.

Much of what we get in life is to do with the nature of how we respond to things, and the basis of being human is to be invited to respond as yourself in any given moment. As such your form is perfect and you are awake. The invitation is life itself. This has always been our purpose to know our true self. Remember, you are unique – just like everyone else!

ORIGIN OF HUMAN DESIGN

The Human Design System was evolved in 1987 by a Canadian physicist now known as Ra Uru Hu. He was given a vast amount of information, including scientific knowledge about the nature of the Universe and the outline of what is now called the Human Design System.

Human Design begins with understanding how you operate, how can you live your truth in a world where nobody wants to let you. It will take the desire, courage and willingness to experiment and try it. Personal clarity is the most important thing in this life. Every body wants your energy. Be yourself, be human – be clear with your own design.

The first stage is to understand the basic mechanics – what is fixed and reliable and what is vulnerable; where is your voice, your power, your awareness. If you can see clearly the basic matrix out of which you can operate, from that point you can experiment with the logic system of Human Design. It takes time.

As human beings, we often only want one side of things, what they see as the “good” side; but we live in a dualistic universe, where everything has its equal and opposite, and sometimes the very thing you dread can be a source of wisdom. ‘The only constant thing is change’; in your internal environment as well as your external one. The extremes themselves have no power – the power is in between the polarities, moving in spirals between balance and wholeness. Humans are inherently mutative as a species. If you expect the environment to take responsibility for you, you will encounter pain.

Universal truth is in the everyday – it is difficult to be spiritual in the place it countsl that is in the world. It’s about living the everyday with grace and not complaining loving through what is happening and not taking it personally. If you want to find your life purpse – this is it. If you are here and now, then that is your purpose; you are part of the process.

BEING SPIRITUAL

Human Design is not a belief system. Everything is exactly correct – if the planet is ignorant at the moment, it is meant to be. It is not up to you to run your life – it runs itself. You are the passenger, not the driver, not the vehicle. The passenger should just look out of the window – the vehicle just keeps on moving. Everyone tells you can fix the vehicle – new paint job, new sound system – and you’ll get a better vehicle. You cannot do this. We should accept the mechanics of the fact we cannot control the vehicle.

A lot of human beings do not really know themselves. They cannot be what they have been told they are supposed to be and they go chasing after it wherever they can – there is a great supermarket out there for this. Human Design is mechanical, not moral. It is not about good/bad, right/wrong/ It is about the mechanics of being real, being yourself, not being fooled or manipulated.

The way to enlightement comes through being human and dealing with that, and taking personal responsibilty for itl It is how we deal with what is in front of us that counts, when the cosmic glitch of chaos takes us where we did not expect. It is about dealing with people we don’t like, dealing with jobs we do not want to do, being in a human world with all its foibles and failings, where everything and everybody are not necessarily what we would choose them to be.

Being spiritual is not about changing anybody. Accept what someone else is – everyone has something you like or dislike, so what is in them that you can accept, you can have in your life without any difficulty and you don’t have to resist or change what you don’t like..Learn to live with polarity rather than try to change it.

WHAT WILL I LEARN FROM A HUMAN DESIGN ANALYSIS?

All of us put out aura of what is consistent in our design, which can be picked up energetically by others, because the aura speaks. Auras can be big and their influence can spread. The moment you step into someone else’s aura, your design and theirs become one. To be yourself can influence others near you, and even poison their system. Understanding of your own design and that of others can bring acknowledgement and understanding, and release of tension. Following your own inner energy voice can lead you from frustration to complete freedom. Human Design is very helpful for bringing up children. Transformation takes place day by day once you come into contact with your design. The Foundation Analysis gives you the first introduction to your personal design, along with a wealth of challenging but exciting information.

In Human Design, there is a direct link between the time of your birth and the way our genes are imprinted. Conventional astrology divides the sky into twelve compartments or signs of the zodiac. Human Design further divides the sky into twelve compartments of signs of the zodiac. Human Design further divides the sky into 64 equal compartments. This relates to the 64 hexagrams of the I-Ching, each containing 6 lines, and the 64 codons and 6 amino acids of the genetic code. The synthesis of this information gives the Bodygraph.

THE BODYGRAPH

Every single genetic combination of life can be traced within in this wheel from the moment it is born. Every single Human Design or Bodygraph riginates somewhere in this wheel.

The bodygraph give you your energy Type and an overview of your specific mechanics, how your internal energy works and how you affect others.

 YOUR TYPE

You will be one of the following types:

A MANIFESTOR: Manifestors do not need to rely on others to do what they want to do but they do have to inform before acting.

A GENERATOR: Generators have the energy to be busy, but have to wait to see what life offers, then respond accordingly.

A PROJECTOR: Projectors are designed to be recognized by others, and then have the potential to guide them.

A REFLECTOR: Reflectors are designed to be in the flow of life without anything fixed or certain in their make-up.

CENTRE CHANNELS AND GATES

The Centres in your chart show where you are consistent and reliable, and where you are likely to be influenced or conditioned by others. Channels and gates add further depth and detail.

PROFILE & AUTHORITY

The Bodygraph then shows you your profile, or the general totality of what you are, your personal geometry, whether you are here to be absorbed in your own processk or your inner development is through others.

Then you are guided through the Authority in your Chart. This shows the place within you where you can make best decisions. The definition is explored to explain where your real self lifes and the areas in which you are always open to influence and comditioning by others.

STRATEGY

Your Strategy gives you a simple and verifiable formula for being able to operate correctly deal with opportunities and fulfil your potential. If you know yourself and your ‘demons’ you will become aware of your true self, greatly increase your range of choice and gain personal fulfilmenet. This information is invaluable in all areas of life: relationships, career, parenting and health.

WHAT NEXT?

This will give you a profound insight into your character and psychology:

• WHY YOU BEHAVE THE WAY YOU DO
• HOW OTHERS REACT TO YOU AND WHY
• YOUR GIFTS AND CHALLENGES
• HOW TO MAKE & KEEP RELATIONSHIPS
• WHAT YOU ARE SEEKING
• WHERE YOU MAY HAVE ‘GOT LOST’ ON THE WAY
• HOW BEST TO RESPOND TO LIFE
• HOW TO MAKE DECISIONS YOU CAN TRUST

All it needs is the desire, courage and willingness to experiment and try it. See what works and learn to trust. This is the validation. Personal clarity is the most important thing in this life. Everybody wants your energy. Be yourself, be clear with your own design. That is all you have to do.

The story of my life is not any different to yours. I have struggled with the bad relationships, the parent issues, attracting “bad luck’ and the belief of not being “good enough”. I thought I had dealt with many of these issues, but one of them – the parent thing – always stayed, no matter   what therapies I have tried. Until last year when something so wonderful and dynamically life changing happened, I am also a firm believer that the Universe takes us to where we need to be and in this instance it certainly took me to the right place to enhance my journey. I have not looked back since.

I have always been interested in the holistic/spiritual approach to life. I started off by qualifying in Aromatherapy, Hypnotherapy, and Past Life Therapy.

I also work as a Clairvoyant/Medium. So my back round is one of trying to constantly improve my higher self. I have also suffered many physical illnesses that I now know were brought on by emotional traumas that I had not dealt with.

The course I did was Energy Interference Patterning of DNA. This was founded by a lady called Margaret Ruby. All of the information can be found at www.possibilitiesdna.com along with the other courses available.

EIP works on removing the limiting beliefs that are formed in our DNA memory. By using the Chinese Five Element Theory and using a system of numbers we are able to find through past and present lives where the belief has come from and was stored. We are able to release negative emotional patterns stored at the cellular level.

As I have said one of the issues I have struggled with all of my life was the feeling of never been good enough which was connected to my parents. The trouble is they were my issues not theirs and obviously did not know how they made me feel. I am approaching 47 now, so these beliefs I had have been carried with me for a very long time.  One memory stands out clearly.

I was really proud, I had always wanted to have a spiritual shop where people could come and discover different aspects of their pathways, I filled my shop with beautiful crystals,  jewellery and gifts.

On my 45^th birthday, Mum and Dad came in to see me. Dad being his normal self said “does anybody actually buy this sort of crap?” he then proceeded to criticize and make fun of the crystal balls, angels cards saying that it was a load of rubbish. When they left I just burst into tears, as I had done on many occasions. I was the eldest and being a girl, I always felt that I was compared to my younger brothers, never quite coming up to scratch – being the black sheep of the family. I felt I had been a constant disappointment to my parents and if it had not been for the life changing course on EIP I would probably still feel that way.

When I attended the course last February I worked on these issues, there were many mind blowing things that came out, memories that I had forgotten. As I have said we use the number system to find out where the belief started, which organ/charka it is stored in and obviously who presses the “buttons” to make us react in the way we do, usually in a negative way!

The memories that were brought up through my beliefs were being told when I was five years old and my brother was born that I  was being” kicked out of the nest”  because they needed to look after my brother, funnily enough they said this again to my brother when the third child was born! This created a pattern of not being wanted, which let to a pattern of sore throats and illness I was unable to speak my truth!  Another memory that came up was when I told Dad my marriage had failed (totally unheard of in this family) he said to me “why? Did he hit you?”  When I said no he just replied “perhaps he should have”. Thus creating yet another negative pattern and going into a pattern of abusive emotional relationships with men. This created a pattern of in order to be loved I must allow people to control me.

When we learned how to use this information to find out what we would like to change, we then worked to find a very positive manifestation, to change the old belief pattern. This is known as manifestation and Divine Love Healing.

I could not believe the change in myself after I had learnt this wonderful technique.  But obviously I had to see if it had worked!

A few months later, I went to visit my parents – I used to put it off for long periods of time as I hated being hurt.  Mum and Dad were just being “Mum and Dad”, nothing changed there – but remember I had worked on my own issues. I was having a discussion with Dad about a little boy I was helping through the EIP and Hypnotherapy. He had made amazing progress. Dad, bless him said” if you are messing about with peoples minds, don’t you think you ought to get yourself some qualifications”  I looked him straight in the eye and said “Dad, I qualified as a Hynotherapist five years ago” at this point he start huffing and puffing then said “well no one ever tells me these things”.

My reply to him was. “Perhaps you should ask.”  At which point I held my head up high and left. I did not cry, I was not upset, I felt transformed.

I know my parents did not realise what they were neither saying nor indeed aware of the effect. They are not spiritual people, they do not believe – that is there problem not mine. How many of us say negative things to our own children or people at work? The list goes on.

These days I am happy with my life. I have used the EIP on many people and helped them to transform their lives too. I now have a sense of freedom and nothing stops me, because as new issues appear, which obviously they do, I just use the EIP to find out where the problem was imprinted within my DNA.

I enjoy my life and my works, I use my spiritual connection to guide others and then use the EIP to help them in a really positive way.  The EIP is not limited and it can be used for client on the phone!

The Power of Intention – A Personal Perspective

Synchronicity is no accident. When you’ve had something happen, something you’ve been wanting or you have been looking for, and then the answer has come as if out of the blue – something has caused this to occur. What has caused this? You have, just by turning your mind to that which you desire, need or require, if only for a split second, in a way that is focussed and clear. In so doing the energy you have expended has sent a little pulse, just like an electrical charge, out into the ether containing the message of your intention.

Universal Field of Energy

So what is this “ether”? Is it a spiritual realm of universal light? Is it some kind of universal data bank?  Or is it something else? What we do know from quantum science is that it exists in particles of sub-atomic matter.  Lynne McTaggart, in her book “The Field”, explores links and parallels between spiritual beliefs and quantum physics. She describes this ethereal space as a “sea of quantum energy”.  Interestingly Lynne’s work at the current time centres how the power of our own intent, expressed via thoughts and prayers, affects outcomes. Many of us are already familiar with this concept. It is powerful stuff, so let us take it from here.

Does it matter how we as individuals perceive this phenomenon, ether, or space? Personally I don’t think so. Every single individual exists within their unique and personal sense of reality thus is likely to hold or experience their own equally unique sensory perspective for this space. Whatever this may be, it is the individual perception that counts.

Steps on a Personal Journey

I first consciously started to become aware of the immeasurable potential of this vast sea of information through a spiritual rather than a scientific route. My intention was strong and my reasons clear. I wanted to become a psychic artist. I wanted to use that skill with my other skills as a healer / coach in order to help people, in some way, on their journeys. I wanted to develop this ability in my own unique way. I knew that my work would involve spirit guides, and I wanted to meet mine.  There was a powerful feeling in my heart and in the pit of my stomach.  It felt right. I had no idea how any of this would come about but it did, and in a relatively short space of time.

The focus placed on these outcomes intensified when I and four friends, each with our own spiritual objectives, united in our intention to learn. We would meet every 2 to 3 weeks. We called our little group a “development circle”. We wanted to meet our guides and we wanted them to teach us. And we were not disappointed.

The group developed its own procedures and process. Taken step by step, looking at the big picture, we did nothing that was new. In fact the process we employed is used daily and successfully on a universal scale – in schools and colleges, business, therapy, churches, sport and more.  What I will say is that we were successful. We did well. I believe it was the power of our intention and the way we followed it through that made it so.

We decided to limit rules to the barest minimum because we felt that this would give us the greatest potential in terms of creativity. There was a basic structure to our get-togethers and that was pretty much it. We did decide to act on whatever information we received from “upstairs” in complete trust and to keep it, for the time being, within the circle. We had made this easy for ourselves. We felt comfortable and safe among friends. There was nothing to lose and so very much, potentially, to gain. We remembered to show our appreciation to our guides, teachers, ourselves and each other. This tended to happen spontaneously, arising from feelings of joy and gratitude. However this happens, formally or otherwise, I believe it to be an important part of the process.

We five started by creating a safe and joyful space into which we invited our highest spirit guides and teachers. Into this space we brought laughter, fascination, friendship and a willingness to learn. We meditated to give this space and our intention energy. It felt fantastic.

Then we would wait and observe. Information would come (or not) to each person, either differently or in similar ways, through our sensory channels.

Within a short space of time I started to “see” visions containing figures, faces, objects, shapes and colours. I began to notice little impulses, for example to use a certain colour, or to make a shape on the paper. These I followed without question. Actually this is not strictly true; there were certainly times when I did question. What I found was that if I followed the impulse all became clear but when I didn’t, when I chose to follow something my brain said instead, a period of confusion would ensue. It was quicker, easier and far more comfortable to go with intuition – a useful lesson.

Often I did not understand what I was drawing because the images were incomplete or abstract. It was like watching a movie, wondering what would come next as the shapes became more complex. Eventually these shapes would merge, take on form and become complete pictures – of people, clothing, nature and objects. I became fascinated, not just in the outcome but in the very journey itself. In every picture there would be an amazing and unexpected twist at the end.

Gradually aspects of each picture would appear to present meaning and this would be revealed perhaps through colour, pen pressure, or the fleeting sense of an emotion. Features would seem to take on characteristics and point to personality traits, a determined chin for example or a softness of gaze. It was like being on a magical adventure and I was truly hooked.

After about a year I tentatively ventured to take this newly acquired skill outside the safety of the circle and made pictures of spirit guides for friends and family. In the telling of their stories, synchronicities between my “clients” inner experience and those of their guides would unfold. The personal family information revealed had been unknown to me so I’d made no connection with it. This happened too often for mere chance. I hardly dared believe it. I was realising my dream. But it doesn’t end there, the journey continues, ever more fascinating and ever growing, to this day.

Five Steps Forward

My own group used the process outlined above to connect and interact usefully with our spirit guides. You can use the same process for this very same purpose or for anything else.

1 – Set your intent – First set your intent for your desired outcome so it feels right inside. Use your brain as well as your intuition to make an ecology check. Why are you doing this? What will change? Does the intended outcome sit right with your sense of self? How will things be better? What is it like? You are aiming to feel relaxed, calm and at peace with your outcome, like the way you feel when you have a sense of inner knowing.

2 – Give your intention energy and power – Feelings and emotion give energy to your intention so make the emotion appropriate to the outcome. In NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) which is often called the “Science of Excellence”, this is called “creating a great state”.  There are many techniques you can employ to create and accentuate a way you want to feel. You can be on your own or with a group of similarly intentioned people. You can be inside or outside, physically moving or still – whatever works for you. Build the energy – use prayer, focussed thought, meditation, music, ritual, writings. The more you practice the easier it becomes and, given enough practice, you can create this state in a split second.

3 – Open your awareness – The next stage is awareness. Allow all your senses to be open to the possibilities that will present themselves – for indeed they will. There is no need to go looking because you have already created the conditions for the universe to play its creative part. Live your life and allow the process to unfold. Know that information and opportunities will open themselves to you through a myriad of channels – media and technology, relationships, learning and education. It may even just pop through your door. Listen to your inner voice. Know that you may receive information while you sleep and ideas will surface in your waking moments. Write them down, notice patterns.

4 – Take action – Start following your hunches. Read books you are drawn to; contact people as they come to mind; visit that seminar or place you have been thinking about; attend that party you’ve been invited to; pay heed to words that resonate with you. When opportunities arise, take the action they require, for this is what makes manifest the results you are putting out for. Use your existing skills – they are not there without reason. Learn new skills that interest you. Put procrastination behind you – a vision or dream without action is like a pie in the sky.

5 – Give thanks – A few simple words of thanks create a huge feel good factor and you can afford to be generous. Send your thanks and a smile to whatever you believe to be the X-factor(s) generating your opportunities. Give yourself deserved credit and feel good about it. Remember friends and family who have given you support when you most needed it.

The power of focussed intention can be harnessed in every aspect of life. Every thought, word and action is energy, giving power and direction to the universal field that is forming our destinies right now. Your power is in your hands. Make it happen.

From the age of thirteen I was always interested in any thing spiritual – the tarot, angels and astrology. I had my first reading at fourteen and the first thing she said to me was ‘Do you know you are a natural healer and very psychic?’ I said ‘yes’ to the psychic bit but had no idea what she was talking about being a healer.

I started to sense spirit around me in my early twenties and I was still being told ‘you’re a healer my dear’. I thought ‘OK, I am a healer. Now what? Someone please explain to me’. But no one ever did – not until four years ago.

The loss of my baby grandson made my spiritual side come more to life than ever before. I was looking for answers big time and I found them in a lady who was my saviour and then became my teacher. With her help I learnt Reiki and am now a Reiki Master, practitioner and teacher. I love helping others get to their dreams. ‘Oh why did I leave it so long to do the work that I love’?

For those of you who do not know what Reiki is – it is a ‘hands on’ healing technique rediscovered by a man called Master Mikao Usui in the 1800’s. One day some students asked him about the healing methods used by Jesus Christ and whether he would be able to carry out such a healing for them. Usui was stunned and unable to answer these questions. On that day, Usui resigned his position and determined to find the answers of this mystery. His journey led him to America where he went to the university of Chicago and became a doctor of theology, but he still couldn’t find the answers he was looking for.

He travelled to North India where he studied the holy writings. He then later returned to Japan where he discovered some Sanskrit formulas and symbols in old Buddhist sutras which seemed to hold the answers to his questions. Realizing he had found the key to the healing, he began to meditate and came to the conclusion that he should proceed to a sacred mountain called Mount Kuriyama, about seventeen miles from Kyoto. He would commence a  twenty-one day fast and meditation in the hope of gaining contact with the level of consciousness the Sanskrit symbols had been written on in order to determine the truth of their contents.

Usui carried out one of his meditations on this sacred mountain. Kyoto is the former capital of Japan, a place with a thousand temples representing a whole range of deities. Mount Durama is also important from a martial arts perspectivem being the place where mountain spirits – tengu – are said to have given the secrets of fighting to the Samurai. Morihei Usheiba, founder of Aikido often took students to the mystical Shojobo valley to train.

Translated from the Japanese, Reiki means ‘spiritual energy’; it can be described as the energy of everything. To work with this energy is to experience life at its fullest, to be one with all that can be seen and not seen. A lot of people are afraid of Reiki but there is nothing to fear. It is a wonderful experience and everyone has a different experience – from feeling the heat from my hands to seeing colours and seeing their loved ones that have passed over to the spirit world.

We have seven main chakras that run down the body that are called;

• The Crown
• The Third Eye
• The Throat
• The Heart
• The Solar Plexus
• The Sacral
• The Root Chakra      
  

The chakras connect the spinal cord, the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system with our subtle body of vibrational energy called the bio electromagnetic field or aura. Chakras coincide with the body’s endocrine system. Each charka has an influence over the endocrine glands and internal organs n that part of the body where the charka is located. Sometimes their influence covers a broader area.

Chakras draw in divine life force energy (also called ki, chi or prana) from the Universe and distribute this vital energy in the physical glands and organs in the body and throughout the bloodstream and nervous system for optimum health and well being.

Reiki enters the body of a practitioner through the crown charka. From there it flows to the heart charka where it is transformed. It then flows through two energy channels that run from the heart charka across the chest towards both arms. The energy then runs down through both arms into the palm charkas and the fingertips from where it can be passed onto another person.

Love and Light

We all have a story to tell. Our childhood experiences make us who we are today – building our character. I was brought up in a small mining town outside Liverpool. Although the mining industry had finished, there were still the memories of hardships and poverty within the local people. Being a teenager wasn’t fun, I had two younger sisters and a fairly strict mother. At sixteen with school just finishing (which I hated), not much hope of a job and having visited London a few times, I decided that there must be something better than this, a happier life! So off I went to the bright lights of the capital. Experiencing my newfound freedom, life became a long party for a few years.

Alas, freedom and naivety paid its price. I soon discovered life in London wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, it had its ups and downs to say the least. I grew up very quickly and I learnt some rather harsh lessons at a young age.  After some time I settled down and tried various jobs, relationships etc – life was okay for quite a long time. I fitted into society and did what was expected of me – my quest for a better life was pushed to the back of my mind but I still I knew there was something missing. There must be something more than this, I thought, but what could it be?
After trying many different careers and relationships, I decided to go to Australia and look for my spirituality for a year – then I had to come back to London. I was pretty upset as I arrived in London once again – it seemed like such a dark, gloomy place.

What is happening to me, I thought, would I ever find happiness?
Life went from bad to worse and there was nowhere to turn. The only thing that gave me happiness was the ability to help others, to use my healing or psychic abilities. But this wasn’t enough though – people didn’t want to be healed!

One day I went to a psychic fayre in the middle of London where I met an Irish lady (with an American accent). I had already had enough of the spiritual ‘new age’ stuff but this lady was different. She was doing something called 22 strand DNA activation. I was intrigued: sceptical but curious. She performed this therapy using a crystal at the back of me. I left, still sceptical! I didn’t feel a thing, asking myself, what was that all about?

What is 22 strand DNA activation?
The 22 strand DNA activation is a sacred gift which is now being offered openly to accelerate spiritual awakening of the collective consciousness of the planet, and to bring humanity into full empowerment. It has been handed down from the Mystery tradition, in a direct lineage from King Salomon, going back 2,500 years.
DNA is an essential component of all living matter. It is very personal, containing encoded information relative to one’s physical and spiritual lineage. This information determines a person’s physical form, hereditary maladies, mental proclivities, emotional behaviour patterns and spiritual gifts. DNA also contains the blueprint for one’s life purpose and divine potentialities.

The 22 strand DNA activation;
• Brings in and holds more light in the physical body
• Empowers you to bring forth talents and abilities as yet unrealized.
• Enables you to have more energy
• Brings more clarity into your life
• Strengthens the immune system
• Releases the unconscious patterns stored within the physical body
• Increases greater utilization of your brain
• Creates a greater opening for ongoing connection with your higher self
• Clears your individual and family genetic/karmic pattern

All this happened to me nearly three years ago! I can look back to this day and tell you honestly, something did happen, I can’t tell you exactly what!
Today I realise that I am exactly where I want to be and how I want to be because that’s what I have decided I want for myself. I feel empowered, responsible for myself
and so much happier than I ever was!

So many issues that people experience have their roots in past life events, including phobias, anxieties and panic attacks, depression, lack of confidence, physically illnesses, sexual issues, weight problems to name just a few. By exploring and releasing the negative emotions and energy which has been locked inside a person the problem from which they have been suffering usually dissolves away, leaving them feeling free and healed.

Quite often it is the death in the past life which is causing the problem in this life, especially if the death was traumatic. Although the thought of experiencing past life death can cause apprehension for a client, the actual re-living of it is generally a wonderful catharsis which clears their issues fully and permanently.

The process involves using hypnosis, a state of pleasant relaxation which allows us to access the deep, inner mind which is where past life memories are stored. Throughout the regression the client is fully aware of everything they are experiencing, sometimes seeing and feeling in depth the past life events as if they were actually happening in the present.

A few examples from my casebook:

Gary came to me suffering from panic attacks and anxiety, which developed into a phobia of leaving his house. In our session he regressed back into a past life in which he and his family were taken out of their homes by Nazi soldiers and shot. His panic attacks and phobia vanished completely at the end of our session.

Lisa had a considerable problem with overeating. She was excessively overweight and completely out of control with her eating habits. She regressed back into a former life where she starved to death. Her eating habits became normal again and she started to lose weight.

Mary was a married woman who struggled to enjoy sex with her husband. As a result, their marriage was floundering. We discovered that in a past life in Victorian times she had been a prostitute working in Liverpool’s dockland. Her dislike of sex faded and she is now happily married.

James was a young student who had a severe needle phobia. One of his past lives involved being beheaded. He was easily able to undergo dental surgery a few days later.

Tony was overweight as a result of back problems which, despite surgery, had never been cleared up. We found that four of her past lives were causing the problem and the pain, one of which was as a German soldier who was shot by a Russian sniper. Guess where the bullet went? Straight through her lower back where she was experiencing the problem in this life. Again, clearing all of the past lives meant that the physical issue healed and she was able to resume a normal, pain-free life. She was able to start exercising and soon lost her excess weight.

Alan was obsessively insecure about his girlfriend. He was insanely jealous and struggled to let her out of his sight. We found that in several previous lives she had betrayed him, leading to his death on two occasions. He released the emotions trapped in those past lives and was able to enjoy a normal, loving relationship with her.

This is just a minute sample of the amazing healing effects of Past Life Therapy. It has to be said though that not all Hypnotherapists work in past lives, so if you’re considering undergoing a course of treatment it’s worth ringing round a few Therapists to assess how they operate. I can wholeheartedly recommend it. It really can be a life-changing experience.

We all have an inner child and for a lot of us that child feels lost, lonely  rejected, unloved and very frightened. Most of us have spent our lives criticising and berating that little child – when all that child wants is to be loved unconditionally.

Most of us learnt as children not to express our true feelings. We were constantly told things like ‘don’t be sad’. Oh please don’t cry, calm down, cheer up, don’t be angry, take that smile off your face, be quiet, you keep your mouth shut, speak to when you’re spoken to, don’t be afraid, if you don’t stop crying, I’ll give you something to cry about’ etc.

And when verbal, physical or sexual abuse were inflicted upon us, a lot of us coped by cutting off from our feelings completely. Consequently a lot of adults find it hard to cope with feelings – their own and other peoples’.

As children, all we want is to love and be loved. To be accepted exactly as we are. However very few of us were given unconditional love and to try and get the love and attention we wanted, we learnt to play games to get it.

Typical games with roles such as;

•    The Pleaser
•    The Rebel
•    The Driver
•    The Layabout
•    The Victim
•    The Rescuer
•    The Rationaliser
•    The Manipulator
•    The Persecutor/Blamer

For a lot of us, when we tried everything and still felt unsafe and unloved, we then built a large wall around ourselves to protect our hurt inner child. Then as adults we wonder why our lives don’t work. The inner child can cause havoc in our lives and we need to learn what games that inner child is playing and to learn to love that inner child. When we didn’t express our true emotions, those emotions are still being held in the body. We need to find out what feelings we have buried from the past and release them.

The more we learn to love ourselves and that inner child, the more we can allow ourselves to get in touch with these blocked feelings. Once we release these blocked emotions we find we become our true selves, we get in touch with the power within, the greatest potential within each of us. We have learnt these behaviours so well as children that as adults we carry on this behaviour on an unconscious level unaware of how we are causing the havoc in our own loves. It is just like when you are first learning to type, you are aware of the home keys and which finger you use to press which key. However, when you have learnt to type, you do it unconsciously without thinking about it. In fact, if someone were to ask you which finger you use to press the letter C, you would have to stop and look before you could tell them, yet you do it all the time without thinking. You have learnt it so well you do it unconsciously. So it is with the games learnt as children.

THE REBEL decides the best way to get attention is to go against the norm – to stand out in the crowd. Although this gets them attention it is usually not ‘good’ attention, however even bad attention is better than no attention at all.

THE PLEASER -     learns to do just that – to please everyone but not themselves. They say ‘yes; when they really want to say ‘no’ because they are afraid they will upset the other person and that person won’t like them any more. They continually do things that they don’t want to do just to please the other person. They get their needs met by other people liking them. However after years of this behaviour they can lose their own identity and end up not knowing what they want from life.

THE DRIVER – grows up feeling not good enough and is always seeking that love and attention mainly from their parents. They are striving to achieve more and more. Better qualifications, better job, better home, better car etc. There is nothing wrong with this if that is what people want and let’s face it most people do. However, with the driver they are doing it to prove to others that they are good enough. When people who are drivers realise the game they are playing they often admit that they didn’t really want all those qualifications, that they were just trying to prove themselves to others, especially their parents. The ‘i’ll show them’ syndrome.

THE LAYABOUT – or sometimes known as the lazy layabout. This person has usually tried all the other behaviours and didn’t get the love or attention that they needed to they decide ‘what’s the use?’ and give up on life. They drop out of school or college and become unemployed. They are the ones who lay about on the settee all day watching TV and forever saying that they are bored.

THE VICTIM – many children learn to become a victim. They get their needs met by other people taking care of them. They feel they can’t take responsibility for themselves. It’s the ‘poor me’ syndrome. They feel helpless and look to blame others for everything that goes wrong in their loves. When other people try to help them, they always come up with excuses for not taking responsibility such as ‘yes but’ and ‘I can’t do that’.

THE RESCUER – gets their needs met by taking care of others. They rush in to try and solve others’ problems and look after them. This keeps them from looking at their own problems. They do things for the other person rather than show the person how to do things for themselves. This keeps the other person stuck so they can keep looking after them. The rescuer is actually a victim in disguise.

THE RATIONALISER – learnt at an early age to cut off from their feelings and go into their head to figure things out. This is their protection from feeling emotions. However, they are likely to attract people to them that display the emotions that they are holding onto. These people will press their buttons to get them in touch with their buried emotions. When they allow themselves to express those emotions they won’t have the need to attract these people into their lives.

THE MANIPULATOR – gets what they want by manipulating the situation to their own advantage. They don’t ask for what they want directly. They can get very upset when the other person doesn’t fall into the trap and then they accuse the other person of being selfish.

THE PERSECUTOR/BLAMER says nothing is ever their fault. They always pass the blame onto another person or thing. It is much easier for them to do this than to take responsibility for their own actions. The game that is played most of all in any type of relationship is the victim, rescuer, persecutor/blamer and this is how it works.

As I said before, the Victim needs someone to look after them and the Rescuer needs someone to look after. This way they both get their needs met. So the Victim invariable attracts a Rescuer to them. This arrangement works well for a certain length of time and then the Rescuer gets pissed off with putting their own life on hold all the time and they move down to the position of Persecutor/Blamer and start blaming the Victim for everything going wrong in their life. The Victim then becomes very uncomfortable with this as they don’t want to lose the Rescuer so they then move into the position of Rescuer themselves. This makes the Persecutor/Blamer feel better and they then move into the position of Victim. Now the roles have become completely reversed. The one who started off as the Rescuer has now become the Victim.

This strange triangle continues endlessly until one person wakes up to the fact of what is going on (sometimes they never wake up). This person will then decide to leave the relationship or will decide to stay in the relationship and break the chain anyway.

If they decide to stay in the relationship it can take all of their strength and courage to change this situation, however it can be done.

This is why it is so important to learn to communicate with the Inner Child and discover what games we are playing and learn more healthy ways of getting the love and attention that we want and getting our needs met. A healthy emotional inner child creates a healthy emotional adult.

We find as we learn to love ourselves and the inner child, others treat us with love and respect. We start to take responsibility for our loves and we start to create the life we have always wanted for ourselves.
