			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/get-attachment.aspx_.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4946" title="get-attachment.aspx" src="http://www.moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/get-attachment.aspx_-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>Apart from very occasionally visiting a psychic or spiritualist to have my fortune told, I knew nothing about spiritual paths or higher energy vibrations and I certainly had no idea of what The Universe held in store for me.  This is just the skeleton of my story of a fascinating, but long and at first, heart-wrenching and traumatic journey.</p>
<p><strong>Twenty six years ago I moved from the Northeast to live in Wales with my husband and  twelve year old son. I was leading an average kind of life with my family in Wales but by the Summer of the second year strange things started to happen,. At the time they made no sense to me, But I KNEW that they were an unquestionable truth. People were brought into my life, I KNEW they were there for me in some way, “BUT WHY?”</strong></p>
<p>In the autumn of the second year something very strange happened that would become the focal point for my survival., My husband,  son and myself went for a walk to a local beach. My husband walked on his own and my son and I dallied at a slower pace along the waters edge, collecting small shells.  We had walked for some time engrossed in our task to find the biggest and best shells when out of the blue my son started to run up the beach.  I shouted after him to come back but he kept on running. At about 300 yards or so he came to a dead stop, bent down and picked something up. It was as if he KNEW just what his quarry was, there was no hesitation. It was almost like watching a dog retrieving it’s favourite ball. In one sweeping action he turned and started to run back to me.  He stopped in front of me. I was asking him, “Why did you run up the beach?” I asked but he didn’t answer me. Instead he held out his hand to reveal his precise find. I started to say that the shell that sat on his hand was much bigger then any of the other’s that we had found, “ But how did you find it? ” As I said the words I raised my hand that clasped one handle of the bag of shells. Instead of putting the shell into the bag, he uncurled my fingers and put the shell on the palm of my hand, as he said. “No this shell hasn’t to go in the bag with the others, because this shell is a lonely shell&#8221;.  At this point I started to laugh, but the laugh soon fell away as he continued &#8220;and when you have to go away, I will be very lonely too&#8221;. I was emotionally staggered and shocked. The impact that my son  should ever think such a thing far surpassed a mother’s comprehension.  There are no words to describe what I felt in that moment. I somehow managed to stammer out, “But I will never leave you”. He did not respond. He turned and ran up the beach to his father. I stood for a while with my head reeling.  The call to hurry up broke my thoughts. I put the shell in to the top pocket of my jacket and walked up the beach to my husband and son. I would not see or wear that jacket for approximately another year.</p>
<p>Then the most bizarre thing happened. At the end of another normal day, I went to bed and fell asleep.  That would be the last time that I would sleep in my bed under the same roof as my husband and son.  My life would never be normal again.</p>
<p>Next morning I awoke and I knew I had to leave. Why?  Because, I had to ‘BE’ something and ‘DO’ something.I had no choice.  An unseen, but powerful force was pulling me.</p>
<p>My husband had left for work.  I sat up in bed.  I was overwhelmed with stunned confusion as I moved between KNOWING that I had to leave and KNOWING that I didn’t WANT to leave.  Having no desire to leave the security of home and family, you cannot start to comprehend how bizarre this dilemma was.  When my husband came home from work at 4 p.m. I was convinced that I was going crazy.  He looked at the traumatised mess that stood in front of him, that he no longer recognised as his wife and asked  “what is wrong”?  I told him that I had to leave and BE something and DO something and I couldn’t do it here.  I begged him to help me find somewhere for my son and I to live, until I was better.  I thought we would sit down together and talk it through and it would be ‘all right’.  He didn’t even want to discuss it.  I was told ‘either stay here and love me or leave this house by 10:00 tomorrow morning’.  I had to go.</p>
<p>The next morning at 10.a.m., distraught and thinking I was going crazy, I got into a taxi, with two bags of clothes.  I only had £30.00 in my purse and nowhere to live.  I closed the taxi door as it pulled away.<br />
 MY JOURNEY TO YOU, AND THE BREATH OF LIFE, HAD BEGUN.</p>
<p>I lived in Liverpool for four months before coming back to the Northeast. My brother came to meet me at the train station, where passengers spilled out of the doors, me included.  I saw him scanning the crowd for his sister who was immaculately turned out in every way.  As the crowd started to disperse I lost sight of him so I put my bags down and waited.  He walked past me twice. Then, the third time, when I was the only one left on the platform, he turned as I called his name.  I will never forget the look on his face.  He didn’t recognize me.  When he started to recognize that I was his sister, he threw his arms around me and sobbed for the anorexic, dishevelled, lifeless scrap that was now standing before him.  The sister that he was so proud of.  It was in that moment that I realized how lost and ill I had become.</p>
<p>The trauma of being separated from my son ended in my attempted suicide. But this brought the KNOWING that whatever this powerful force was, my son KNEW and understood everything. Within a few days of this the weather turned cold and damp. Another summer over, I thought as I reached in to a black bin-liner of clothes to find the jacket, as yet unworn since my husband dropped  the bag off at my mother’s earlier in the summer. (Considering that he gave all of my possessions to a charity shop, the question has to be asked, why did the few things in the bag survive to be returned to me?) I found the jacket all crumpled, I took it by the hem and gave it a hard shake, hoping to uncrease it.<br />
 Something fell to the floor, I looked down to see laying at my feet, THE SHELL.<br />
 In some sort of dream state I relived the day on the beach when my son put the shell into my hand and said, “WHEN YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ME”. With this came the KNOWING that when I had put everything in place that I had to do, I would be reunited with my son.<br />
 It was at this point I said to the invisible force, ‘You lead and I will follow’.  I was led to study Aromatherapy, then Indian Head Massage.  On the course, I met a Reiki Master who was in awe of my energy levels and suggested that I should be attuned.  My attunement to Reiki was the catalyst to the Seven Healing Energies that I channel directly from the Universe now. <br />
 They are Light, Sound, Colour, Laser, Bio-Trace Magnetics, Blue Life Water, and Rewind.  I also have a spirit, Dr Alexander.  He is responsible for the remarkable muscular and bone realignments that clients experience in my treatment room.  The energies are all facets of THE BREATH OF LIFE.</p>
<p>When I work with the energies I have no self; I become an empty mirror like vessel, that holds your TRUE reflection, The energies interact with your energy field to facilitate healing and bring balance to Thoughts, Emotions, Physical Pain and Life’s Traumas. There are no Limitations.  <br />
 You quickly start to see your life, past and future with clarity “The Light Bulb Moment.” Because you start to see with clarity, think with clarity, You simply let go of emotional trauma, You change the way you act and interact with others. They, then have to change the way they react to you.    <br />
 This is CAUSE AND EFFECT, THE NATURAL WAY OF THE UNIVERSE. <br />
 My life experience has taught me that who I am and what I do are one and the same.  THE BREATH OF LIFE is why I had to leave.  It changed my life to bring me to you, to work for you.  It is not just a therapy, <br />
 it is a LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE! I work one to one,  also “MAKING LIGHT WORK OF LIFE.” meditation courses, and  seminars.</p>
<p>I am now at the start of a new life chapter. It is time to travel the world and make THE BREATH OF LIFE accessible to a larger audience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">When the relationships between partners starts to detach it’s usually a drip, drip effect, over a period of time, sometimes years. Sometimes both partners don’t even realize things are getting awkward until it is too late.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This drip, drip effect sometimes is not realized by one partner but the other partner feels disillusioned and not having there needs met. They then try to talk to the other partner but the other partner can fail to hear their distress.  This leads to arguments and the breakdown of therelationship. Sometimes the family relationship can go on for a long time, reliant on the “making the family work”. This can be through the guilt of one partner not wanting to rock the boat so to speak, or from a feeling of responsibility or maybe some of both.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">They usually come to Counselling when the end of the road is reached and it’s the last ditch attempt to make it work. This is not necessarily the best time to try to bring the relationship back from the brink. Both partners should check out the relationship on a regular basis and see if they’re needs are being met and they are happy. No relationship is ever 100% happy but most survive because they have a joint purpose that they both want to make happen, so they put up with little niggles or frustrations which are quite normal in relationships, especially these days when there is so much pressure on the relationship from outside influences, be it work commitments, the society media understanding of what they should have or little support in helping them cope with the demands of the world. Most families are distant now-a-days when they used to be very close and supportive, due to possible relocation for work, extended family loyalties etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Once the communication has disintegrated and they can only refer to the logistical aspects of the relationship, which one does the shopping, sorts the bills, looks after the kids, brings the finances in etc. Then the couple relationship really starts to be ineffective and detached. This loss of the connection sometimes does not even appear until the children are older and going there separate ways, leaving home, going to college/university etc, when the couple have to relate to just themselves and how that interaction works, or doesn’t, as the case may be. This is were re-making connections comes in, trying to establish a joint stable connection without others being involved what I call “Quality Time”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The relationship is always under pressure to find the time and energy to connect with each other; other things are always more important, finances, work, children, extended family commitments etc. This is a message that we receive from most of society, family etc, and the interaction and responsibility of having and looking after children is very important and has to be done.  The most important link however  is the relationship between the two adults, if that diminishes then the whole family unit begins to break down. We are always bombarded with messages of not doing or being enough, via adverts, television, peer pressure etc when in fact most people, even children, just want to be loved and accepted.  Not having the right label may be a drag but not having a mum or dad around will be missed much, much more.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“Quality Time” is a recognized and planned time which is not interfered with or lost; it is planned and happens unless something really important needs to take precedent, i.e. someone admitted into hospital or similar. This “Quality Time” is used to give the relationship time to bond and connect, the regularity is up to the individuals and as long as it is planned, and happens, then whatever time frame is good for them is ok. Now we have to do something constructive with that time and some people have no problems filling that time with something exciting and satisfying. Some people who have lost this bond find it hard to think of something to fill it with. This is where, something I term “Surprise Jars” is helpful. “Surprise Jars” just means that each party  fills  their surprise jar with things, activities, they would like to do.  Not what they feel their partner would like to do, but what they would like to do. Then in the allocated “Quality Time” slot they take it in turns and throw a dice to see which person goes first,  They pick out of their partners jar, one of their activities and the person giving the surprise takes responsibility for that to happen, they organise it and makes that surprise happen.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This does two things</p>
<ul>
<li>It shows the other partner that you care for them enough to actually give them a treat, which validates and respects them and if it was something that you personally didn’t much want to do then that’s a double bonus, you’re doing it just for them.</li>
<li>You can never be wrong, the activity that you are organizing is the very thing they asked for, so it excludes the gamble out of making sure that the partner would like that activity, less room for error and less stress.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">This will re-connect and strengthen the bond of the relationship, give fun a much needed injection into the relationship which we could all do with more of in a relationship. Relax the couple and build communication between them.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This way of constructing a “Quality Time” can also be used in numerous ways, with children,  for example each child having a “Surprise Jar. ” In Sexual Connections each partner having a “Surprise Jar” of things they would like to be done to them, which does not abuse anyone’s boundaries &#8211; maybe a clothed jar and an unclothed jar, in bed or out of bed maybe, the possibilities are endless.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If we are constantly re-enforcing the bond and our connections within a relationship then that relationship will be much more able to stand the test of time and be more interactive, bonded and happy.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If there was a golden rule of what makes a relationship and having a happy and fulfilling relationship then the interaction of communication being effective, open and honest between the partners must be at the top.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-4808" title="ian2" src="http://www.moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ian23-150x150.jpg" alt="ian2" width="150" height="150" />The art of communication is something we all have to a greater or lesser degree.  It&#8217;s funny how this great and usually natural ability breaks down when we try to communicate with the people close to us. I have lost count of the many times well educated, good communicators have worked with me over the years and they have lost the art of communication with the people closest to them and this can result in arguments.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Arguments</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">When people engage in arguments they feel they are communicating, albeit loudly or aggressively.  In fact an argument is a verbal battle and communication is lost in the struggle to win or achieve a superior position over the other person and in order for one person to ‘win’, the other must ‘lose’.</span></strong></p>
<p>Arguments are based in insecurities -  by using argumentative language to win, rather than have calm discussion, then we must feel insecure. We shout or use aggressive language in order to create security.</p>
<p>To help people who are stuck in arguments I use a particular intervention called, “Time Out” so people can engage in a constructive way and not a destructive way. Time Out is just a phrase to help people understand the process; any phrase can be used which works for the couple, but not in their ordinary, everyday language and cannot be confused for ordinary speech. It is known to both of them, and is established in advance.</p>
<p>The phrase signals to them that the emotion in the room is escalating and it is time to call a halt, before a full blown argument ensues.  It enables people to stop arguments, as long as it is honored and respected</p>
<p>They also agree a time span; this is the amount of time it would take each party to calm down, to bring their temper under control. When either of the parties realize that it is going into an argument phase, call their phrase and the other party respects their decision.</p>
<p>They then move out of each others face and space up to the time limits they agreed to as being the length of time needed for them to calm down.</p>
<p>Sometimes one person may chase the other to bring a conclusion to the argument whilst the other will try to withdraw to protect them self.  Sometimes this kind of argument can lead to violence; the one who wants to escape cannot, and so will lash out in order to escape.</p>
<p>Similarly,  a cornered rat  will try to jump over you to escape but if it cannot then it will attack you to protect itself.</p>
<p>When the parties can respect and honor this “Time Out” process then they are more able to move forward and start work on why they need to argue in the first place. This then involves them listening <strong>to</strong> each other instead of talking <strong>at</strong> each other, as only by listening can you fully understand another. Understanding why arguments occur creates the correct conditions to help them to be more secure and move them on to using a better communication structure; their language can sometimes have an aspect of telling not asking.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If you can get to the base feeling then you can resolve the problem.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-4799" title="ian2" src="http://www.moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ian22-150x150.jpg" alt="ian2" width="150" height="150" />This is an interesting concept I have grappled with over the last 3-4 years of my practice. It seems to me that there is two fractions at work with everything we do in relating to particular instances and situations in our lives the “What and Why” concept. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To explain this I will look at different situations in the way Human Beings interact with each other which I have observed through news/ media, observing the clients I work with and personal circumstances in my life.</p>
<p>The “What” part of the concept seems to me to be the building blocks of understanding why things go wrong in our lives and the reason we don’t move forward.  Some of this, is due in part, to us trying to fix things instead of looking at the underlying reasons for “Why” things are not working. The “What” is an easier aspect to work with.  We don’t have to look too deep or question ourselves within this process.  We don’t have to take responsibility in the “what” -  we go into fixing mode, usually more prone stereotypically to Men but can also be a part of the female context. This moving to fixing mode is usually only a short term fix and does not usually get the underlying problem resolved.  It tends to just move it to another “What”, a bit like people who have a compulsive aspect to their life’s. Sometimes you are able to resolve the particular compulsion they present with but then the compulsion impulse moves onto another area in their life. It’s usually more expensive to fix the “What” in the long term as when it moves it just creates another version of itself; you still have to fix the next “What. ” The “Why” is usually connected more to the taking responsibility for our actions and interconnections to the what.</p>
<p>It’s our choice whether we take the “Why” or the “What” route but in order to remove the problem altogether we have to understand the “Why”,  take responsibility for it and change our interactions to complete the process.</p>
<p>In order to initially explain this process I shall use the issue of taking chemical substitutes to explore this concept.</p>
<p>Most Professionals know that people who take chemical substitutes are trying to alter their view of  life, their life’s position, hide from emotional conflict or it, the substitute, enables them to see their world differently to the reality that it is, a deflection process. This view in no way minimises the huge reaction chemical substitutes have on people’s life’s or the misery it inflicts on people. I need to say I have no clinical expertise in working with people around chemical substitutes  but I do have a deep understanding of people and how they relate to others.</p>
<p>I am breaking the chemical substitute issue down to the basics and taking away the emotional involvement of the process to explore this concept. In order for us to fix these issues in peoples lives we try to give people drying out or other acclimatising programs, reducing the amount or taking away the chemicals altogether, to help them come off the addiction.  Taking the chemicals is the “What” -  we don’t have to look at the “Why.” The process is to get the person off the dependency of the chemical and the resulting implications to society. This may fix it for the individual person at that time, or it may not. It may just temporarily help them but they might then go back to the chemical of choice in the future, or deflect again from the “Why” and create another “What”.</p>
<p>This process does nothing to understand the reason “Why” someone would want to take chemical substitutes in the first place.  In order to understand that society needs to understand the initial reason -  “Why”, they would want to deflect their individual life issues by taking drugs in the first place.</p>
<p>This is a much deeper problem where society and people in their system would need to analyse their role in that choice and also to take responsibility for their part in that person’s choice of eventually taking chemicals, starting the process of going down this different reality route.</p>
<p>This taking responsibility is a much harder thing to admit to as society would have to admit that things are wrong in the world and that we have a part to play in that.  Instead of working with the “Why” we just do more initiatives, throw more money at the issue, clearing our conscience.  We have done something, and work with the result of the “Why” the “What”.</p>
<p>In relationships, more around my area of practice, we have the same problems and when working with clients, the “What” might be the issue people originally present. , and There might be lots of “What’s.” These are easier to see and work with as they don’t require us to look any deeper nor to immerse ourselves in or see the clients system involvement in the process. To show an example of this,  the client may have a person in their life who is constantly leaving things lying around, making a mess, leaving a disaster area when they move off, either physically things lying around, or emotionally leaving the people around them distraught. You might see that as a “What” they do -  they never change, just more and more of a mess.</p>
<p>Now if they have always been like that then it might just be them.  If however they started doing it at any one point in time you may see some type of insecurity trauma, someone leaving, parents getting a divorce, walking out etc, or someone dying.</p>
<p>This then may lead you down the road of hypothesising or questioning as to the security of that person, in the client&#8217;s system.  Are they leaving things lying around, emotionally or physically just so they will still have a presence in the room or in the system to remain secure?  If you work on the “Why” you will resolve the issue, the reason for the “What” appearing in the first place, working to build that persons security in the system.</p>
<p>If you work on the “what” then you will just interact with the situation of leaving things at the time. This will often create turmoil in the process and disharmony, forcing them (the person leaving things) to take away some of their security, leaving them more insecure the next time they have to leave, and possibly moving the “What” into some other area of their life.</p>
<p>By working with and understanding the “Why” it will resolve things for all time as it removes the need for having the “What” in that person’s life. Sometimes lots of “What’s” may be around the process.  They may overlap or be singular,  they may be different “What’s” but the one thing which will connect them will usually, in my opinion, be a feeling, in most situations the link will be a similar feeling.  Like the insecurity in the above example the base problem will result in a feeling of being insecure and the way it is being presented is always leaving a mess, different messes, but similar feelings.</p>
<p>You might want to change the terminology I am using if you were working with clients with a history of an abusive situation the “What” might be classed as the trigger or reaction.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p align="center"><strong>If you can get to the base feeling then you can resolve the problem.</strong></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>It’s the getting to the base feeling which is the hardest thing to do as this involves the other people, and their systems, in that person’s life taking their responsibility in the issue. The couple who are separating, the possible reason in the above example, will have to face up to their issues and resolve them, to enable the child to feel more secure, so maybe they don’t have to react by leaving the mess, the person dying will have to be discussed and so the system can emotionally bring closure to them not being around.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>All this involves people talking honestly and being emotionally open to others, which is usually very hard for most humans to do, people usually see this as making them vulnerable and weak, which is the opposite of the reality, as if you able to be vulnerable and open with others it’s a very strong and secure position. This is sometimes the reason that we, the professionals, are distracted from looking at the “Why” in that it’s easier to work with the “What” it does not require us to or involve us in opening ourselves up to the possible transference experience of seeing other people’s emotions, as in seeing and working with emotions we have to connect with our own emotions also at the same time a joining together in the pain and suffering, being empathic.</p>
<p>We have to as professionals and more importantly as society get more to the point in looking at what the “Why’s” are as this will be more helpful to everyone concerned in the end and will also enable the person’s we are working with to move on and not have to “What” anymore. If we choose to go down the emotionally easier route of working with the “What’s” then we will just move the issue or the problem on to some other deflection source and this will not be the most beneficial outcome for the client or their system. Insecurity is a major force in the reason we resist in looking at the “Why” as in looking at the “Why” we have to also look at our own insecurities and connect with them.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The 'Face or Fix' reaction is usually seen between people who are emotionally connected. Ian Wallace explains in more detail]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>FACE OR FIX</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>This reaction, a sub-conscious process, is more usually seen with people who are emotionally connected.  One of the couple (A) will be uneasy with seeing and holding their partner (B) in emotional pain so they will interrupt the process of emotional release and try to give fixing options, such as &#8216;if I was you&#8217;, &#8216;what you need to do&#8217;,&#8217; let me sort it&#8217; etc.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The person who cannot hold the pain (A) will try to disconnect the person trying to process the pain (B) so removing (A) from the emotional impact.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This will result in the person trying to process the emotion (B) in a feeling of being unheard or even worse they will store the pain and this will result in a build up for (B) over the period of the disconnection.  If this carries on, the couple will not be able to talk about this issue and they will over time drift apart until all interactions of an emotional level will be off limits.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">(A) will usually have grown up in an unemotional family grouping, so they will not be secure with talking emotionally or being emotional.  Possibly some emotional trauma will have occurred in their life and this will sub-consciously stop them from interacting emotionally. The only real way through this would be to realize you are acting in this way, by discussing your feelings, and consciously talk about the emotions even if they hurt you personally or hurt you through your partner being hurt.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Hiding from them will only put off the inevitable or put the relationship between you both into terminal decline.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-4786" title="ian2" src="http://www.moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ian21-150x150.jpg" alt="ian2" width="150" height="150" />Sometimes people use the above to help the person they are communicating with to understand them, they use their perception of the situation to help, they think, to fix or help fix the situation, this is only their perception. </strong>We all perceive the world in a unique and individual way; our perception is  developed from things we have been shown, by peer groups, family or our experiences. Perception is fine, it usually keeps us safe and secure, but when we use it to inform others, it seldom helps others &#8211; they can perceive this as interfering or controlling. Our perception is only that  &#8211; a perception.  It will never be the other person’s reality, we have to have a conversation of what their perception is to find the real reality. Usually when people are moaning about work or friends, they usually just want someone to listen to their gripes or moans, not to fix it. Usually these things cannot be fixed, but we believe we should be the rescuer.</p>
<p>This telling not asking does not validate or respect the other person’s position.  It can say to the other person &#8216;what is the point in telling you what I have to say as you are not listening&#8217;,  creating distance between you both. It also closes dialogue. If a particular situation is off limits, due to this telling and not asking  then all that issue will be withdrawn from the communication possibilities between you both. This reducing will not only effect that situation but any other situation that connects not only the circumstances but also the feelings. An example of this would be if someone close to you both died and both of you, not being able to talk or help each other through this process of grief.  It may then result in any aspect of loss being off limits, maybe the loss of a job or house etc as this would need you both to re-connect with the original feelings of loss and that would also connect back to the current issue you are going through. This connection or disconnection of feelings alienates us and divides us in lots of areas of our life and therefore also divides our communication process. <strong>It is much better to ask than tell, to find the reality and not the perception, as the perception is a possible not an actual. If you follow this process of asking not telling this opens dialogue creates a joining and reinforces the relationship between you both harmony, if you do not then disharmony ensues.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong>We had an audience with the Vice President of the Gambia!  We have been given the green light the president of the Gambia  who said &#8220;Karmicangels can spread their wings,  there are no boundaries, all lights are on green&#8221;</strong></h3>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4751" src="http://www.moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/k8.jpg" alt="k8" width="302" height="202" /><em>Quite amazing!</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>We took a £50,000 operating microscope which was donated to us by The Pain Relief Foundation in Fazakerley Hospital and we took it to the Royal Victoria Teacher Training Hospital in Banjul,  the Gambia.</strong></p>
<p>The Gambia is one of the poorest countries in the world, with a high infant mortality rate, disease and starvation. These are all largely due to a lack of basic resources such as safe drinking water, medical clinics and agricultural and educational facilities. It has been our vision for many years to try and make a difference there. Now, with Karmic Angels, this is happening! A visit to The Gambia, other than to lie on its beautiful beaches separate from the main population, would quickly show the value and importance of our work.</p>
<p>Our work has led to contact and discussions with the Gambian government and they have applauded and endorsed the work of Karmic Angels. We aim to fully support the Gambian government’s blueprint for achieving the highest standards possible for health, education and agriculture by the year 2020. The role of Karmic Angels includes relieving sickness and poverty by providing safe running water, equipment and financial assistance to the Gambian people in bush villages, clinics and schools.</p>
<p>We recognize the need to integrate health programs and education with national development so we also aim to facilitate educational initiatives for the young, from nursery to senior school level. As well as this we aim to help provide educational and vocational opportunities for adults, with a specific additional focus on women who, in the past, have often found it hard to have a voice.</p>

<p><strong>&#8220;One is evil &#8211; he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;The other is good &#8211; he is joy, peace, love, hope,  serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;This same fight is going on inside you &#8211; and inside every other person, too.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, &#8220;Which wolf will win?&#8221;</strong></p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
