The Kings Speech As Therapy

by Kaye

Seeing the amazing film, the King’s Speech recently pointed up some very interesting issues for me as a practitioner.  It is the story of the man who, due to his brother’s abdication, was reluctantly to become King George VI, the father of the current Queen, Elizabeth II.  Here was a person, who regardless of all the amazing wealth and abundance of his Royal position, had still managed to endure many harsh injustices whilst growing up.

  • It is common in the British aristocracy for children to be almost totally brought up by a nanny, having very little to do with the parents, apart from the most formal of requirements – therefore the child would have had to be very lucky with his parents’ choice of nanny
  • Unfortunately for him his very first nanny, whilst doting on his older brother, did not it seem warm to him from the beginning
  • When they were presented to their mother the Queen, before bedtime the nanny would present his older brother first, and just prior to presenting him, she would pinch him hard so that he would cry when handed over; because of his crying and distress, his mother would soon hand him back to the nanny.  Her intent was that his older brother would have all of the motherly attention that was on offer
  • She also fed him irregularly, which resulted in digestive problems
  • When he would speak and stammer as a child, his father would shout at him, which then encouraged his brother to do the same, and tease him mercifully about his speech defect
  • He eventually ended up with a full-blown severe nervous stammer, a stammer that was to cause him tremendous pain well into his adulthood

This film has turned out to be a huge success in the cinemas around the UK and across the world.  On the day I was to see it, I mentioned to someone that I was going to see it, and he said ‘have you booked? My son tried to see it on wednesday and it was solidly booked!’  I booked online and on entering there was a massive queue to see it.  As I was getting my tickets out of the machine, I heard an employee say that the feature was now totally booked up.

I believe part of its amazing success has been the moral of the story which has turned out to be such a lesson to all of us. Whether we believe it or not, we are all of us flawed in someway – whether it is nature, nurture – whatever! It’s almost as if, under every stressor, there is a very specific invitation to grow.  It is just part of our Soul’s journey of learning on Earth.  The trick is in the overcoming of the obstacles and injustices that we encounter along the way.

In the case of the choice of nanny, I was one of the lucky ones.  My mother was a career woman, and I remember being responsible at a very young age for being the one who suggested the hiring of the woman who was to take my mother’s place in the home.  I say woman, but at the time, she was herself a mere teenager; a woman of such love, kindness and a myriad of creativity that she is still with us, now in her late 70′s, a vital part of three generations of my family.

Having seen many specialists in the hope that He could overcome his problem, the adult Prince had become frustrated and totally given up on ever speaking normally again; comfortable in the knowledge that he would not be King.  However fate had other plans for him! On the abdication of his brother, Prince Edward, he was forced to assume the throne.  With the mantle of Kingship, as well as the upcoming war, he had no choice now but to face up to his responsibilities, and this wonderful film is of him actually going through therapy, with a lovable but unorthodox character called Lionel Logue.  And through a set of very funny and unexpected consequences, he is able to find his voice and boldly lead his country into war.

Deepak Chopra’s, in his excellent little book called, The Soul of Leadership writes that, ’At the Soul level, all Souls are equal.  It’s the roles we play that enforce the illusion of inequality’.  To witness a King go through therapy on the big screen, gives each of us hope, in the sure knowledge that King or commoner, we all have our trials and tribulations to bear.  At the end of the day,  it is not really who we are, or what we are, or even what we have endured that is important, but who we can ultimately become in this particular life.

Till later  .  .  .

Yuen Method Weight Loss Teleseminar Saturday 25th September’10

by Kaye

As promised here’s a heads-up for Dr Kam Yuen’s Yuen Method Weight Loss Teleseminar this Saturday 25th September’10 which is going out at 11:am US Pacific Time – this makes it manageable for us on European time as it works out to 19:00 p.m our time.

The Yuen Method for Weight Loss is well worth adding to any other diet or exercise plans you may already be on, as it comes to the subject from a totally different method, which has nothing whatsoever to do with either calories nor exercise! From my experience, it actually aids and empowers you towards making new decisions about your life, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, due to the fact that it does a great job of tracking down all the triggers and underlying issues causing you to keep the extra poundage on.

So this is well worth the $29 cost to obtaining this useful and life-affirming information. Go to Yuen Teleseminars for full info.

Till later . . .

Make Your Own Mozzarella Cheese With Raw Unpasteurised Milk

by Kaye

  • A great bonus from obtaining and using raw unpasteurised milk, is that you get the chance to try your hand at making great foodie cheeses. There are various books for cheese recipes, however I use the recipes from a great book I came across called The Backyard Homestead. You can go for the cheese only book Home Cheesemaking by Ricki Carroll – however for me the Backyard Homestead has all sorts of other fascinating information – especially if you have any intentions of setting up a small-holding, or even of something more modest as eating from your garden year-round. In fact it encourages you to get stuck in as it gives you all you need to produce all the food you need on just a quarter of an acre. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on more land this book shows you with beautiful line drawings & plans of exactly how to set about doing it.

In fact it has perfect plans for: -

  • 1/10th of an acre
  • 1/4 acre
  • 1/2 acre

How amazing to realise that a plot of 1/2 acre using BH’s plan could produce: -

  • 50 pounds of wheat
  • 280 pounds of pork
  • 120 cartons of eggs
  • 100 pounds of honey
  • 25 – 75 pounds of nuts
  • 600 pounds of fruit
  • 2000+ pounds of vegetables

The Backyard Homestead has a US slant, however so much is useful for us here in Europe, as also types of chickens and cattle are introduced to us.  It is certainly a great book for someone ‘incubating’ their own ideas of self-sufficiency.  It is especially good for all you Anastasia fans as it lays things out in easy to understand terms for those of us with absolutely no experience of growing or farming, or bee-keeping!

For now I shall be happy and peaceful just making Mozzarella from my beautiful raw unpasteurised non-homogenised milk.

Remember To Celebrate The Autumn Equinox 2010

by Kaye

The joy of moving from the centre of London to the depths of the country, and more to the point living on a farm, has brought me face to face with nature on so many levels.  As well, since becoming aware of the importance of the celebration of the seasons through Machaelle Small Wright’s Perelandra Garden Workbooks I & II, I now always take the time to be in tune with, and to celebrate the changing of the seasons. Tomorrow Thursday 23rd September’10 at 4:09 a.m British Standard Time is the moment to do this, as we celebrate the Autumn Equinox.

Machaelle tells us that ‘In nature, this is the new year, the day that begins the next year’s cycle. It is the day when the call goes out for the new cycle to activate and begin its formation processes on the deepest of energy levels’.  I will also be following Machaelle’s example of lighting a candle at that time – so yes, before I go to bed tonight, I will be putting out a fresh candle & matches on my bedroom window sill, setting my alarm, ready to light the candle at 4:09 a.m. sharp.

Machaelle tells us that at the time of the Autumn Equinox, ‘there is a strong release and surge of dynamic energy within the forces of nature at this precise time that is above and beyond the energy of the day itself’.  I also take another tip out of her excellent book, of calling in the next step in my own evolutionary process.   She explains that she has ‘learned from nature that all that exists on planet earth is grounded fully and completely in form and physical action through the energy of nature’  - ‘and that energy commingles with the human dynamics of thought and creativity and serves to fuse into these dynamics the matter, means and action necessary for grounding’.  All completely fascinating stuff if you are into working with Energy!

For a more complete explanation and other great info on gardening with nature invest in Perelandra Garden Workbook I & II or go to Machaelle’s Perelandra Website

No Longer A Meditation Dodger

by Kaye

Yes! I have tried many many times during my lifetime to properly learn to meditate. Each time for whatever reason, I have been un-successful.  Multitudes of inane thoughts would keep coming at me as if shot through a machine gun – what’s for lunch/dinner? Shopping lists – to-do lists/must call so and so etc etc! And try as I did I was never able to put these critters on leaves or in bubbles, and allow them to float away from my consciousness as suggested.  So can you imagine my incredible relief when sitting at my first Matrix Energetics Seminar in Denver, to hear Dr Richard Bartlett, (ME Founder) say in his inimitable way that to do Matrix Energetics, you DID NOT have to know how to meditate, be a vegetarian, or give up coffee. Until that is – I came across a wonderful book called ‘Living from the Heart: Heart Rhythm Meditation’ by Puran Bair.  I had found the missing piece to my ‘meditation puzzle’.  The spinal cord acts as the hard wiring/bio-computer – whilst ‘breath’ was the magical essence connecting us through the spinal cord to Source.  Interestingly, the word ‘spiritual’ comes from the Latin words spiritus/spirare, which means to breathe or to blow.  Adding the Breath with my heartbeat, to meditating was such a revelation to me, and I have been a meditation ‘convertee’ ever since.

Heart rhythm Practice is a heart-centred meditation in which you become conscious of your heartbeat and your breathing.  And I love it when Puran Bair says in Chapter I that our soul already has a sense of familiarity with meditation that does not come from conscious memory – that it already knows what it’s about and why it’s valuable – once you get the hang of this way of meditating it’s as if your soul recognises this state as it’s own natural condition.

This book is packed full of useful information and different ways of breathing for different purposes – even one assisting weight-loss by speeding up your metabolism.  A client who feels anxious when having to have her blood pressure checked, therefore sending it way up high, now does this whilst sitting in the waiting room prior to seeing her Doctor and now achieves normal results. Yes – we do have power once we know how to harness it for the positive as opposed to the negative.

However the main benfits personally for me has been: -

  • My ability to slip so easily into this particular type of meditation which at once seemed so ‘familiar’
  • A wonderful and expanded sense of relaxation
  • A heightened sense of awareness
  • A sense of alertness that has the ability to spark off great ideas and creativity as parts of my unconsciousness are freed up
  • My heart experiences a tremendous sense of power  - a sense of a widening of my scope and influence, having a great influence on my over-all self-confidence and self-image
  • Breath and healing are interconnected and when we breathe we connect to Source from where all things come – from where we can access answers to all knowledge.

The book delivers a host of further benefits contributing to our peace, healing and serenity as well as to our own empowerment, as it deals with the Four Elements of Earth, Water, Fire and Air.  It also has a very useful Chapter addressing the myriad and common problems experienced whilst learning to meditate.

So if you have been a Meditation Dodger too, definitely give this a try – and do let me know how you got on.

For All Who Emailed Re Netter’s Atlas of Human Anatomy

by Kaye

In response to my last Post ‘Learning to Access the Leader Within’, I received emails re Frank H Netter M.D.’s amazing book ‘Atlas of Human Anatomy’.  Netter’s work as a brilliant and widely popular Medical Artist is renowned worldwide – and indeed my second hand copy is an old one from Churchill College Library Cambridge.  The drawings are so exquisite and used traditionally by medical students.

I love using this book for my energy work, as it precisely helps me track down blockages and areas of energy disruption within the body.  I recommend it highly as an aid for all of you doing this work – and it is a bit pricey – however a second hand one will do fine if you can find one.

I use my left hand [a sincere thank you to Dr Eric Pearl for personally activating it!] to scan the drawings – veins/muscles/organs/spinal cord etc.  Other ways to have a go of this cool method are: -

  • Using any of the methods of finger muscle testing, that you may be familiar & proficient with
  • Using a pendulum
  • Or just an energised hand if you are able to pick up strong & weak tests
  • Do remember you are just looking for STRONG or WEAK testing – check your testing to verify which is your own personal strong and which is your weak
  • And yes – it is important in the lead-up to 2012 that all of us be personally able to fine-tune and run-to-ground all and any blockages – the aim here is to eradicate all fear and leading to self-empowerment

Until later .  .  .

Learning To Access The Leader Within

by Kaye

A little while ago, I was at Marseilles airport and on my way back to the UK when I spotted a newspaper headline that read: ‘A Squalid Day for Democracy’, which sent me into a reverie of thought.  Soon after voting I had taken off to Provence to visit my son and his family, so I had been a little out of the loop.  The situation was anything but clear as the Parties plotted and schemed their way through the business of putting into place a ruling coalition.  At one hysterical moment, it looked as if the two losing parties might join together to make the ruling coalition.  Interestingly, the Party with the very least amount of support ,was THE Party with the most power at the time and calling all the shots! With my plane delayed due to a recurrence of the Ash problem, I spent the time thinking of the subtle but underlying changes happening to us and to our planet.  There is no doubt about it – the major theme of the coming age looks set to be personal empowerment. Slowly but surely, more and more of us are being forced by external circumstances to begin to look to the leader within, as opposed to the leader without.

Yes, perhaps we are a bit confused and undecided as to the exact path this should take, as results of the UK vote showed, however, the die has been cast.  As we begin trusting our own inner guidance, and accessing knowledge from multiple dimensions, we are set to create our own landslide shift in world consciousness.  Throughout the world, we are beginning to question the old forms of responsibility from church to government to banking.  Our leaders not just in the UK, but worldwide are  beginning to experience the general populace as not so easily led or duped.  Having always traditionally and culturally deferred to the leader without – larger and larger amounts of us are beginning to defer to the leader within, and to question how personal and world Power is used and more often than not, misused.

Slowly but surely at this important time, the greatest need will be to look within to find our teachers and guides, as opposed to the old way of looking without – and this is the focus of this Post today. By learning to channel for ourselves, we gain access to information from the highest realms and therefore to powerful conscious transformation and amazing shifts in our evolution.

In learning to channel you will meet your Guide who will prove a trusted friend who will always be there for you , to love encourage and support you and to ensure that you are in the right place at the right time.  Higher Guides do NOT take over or control you.  In fact they are the epitome of tact and discernment, always showing you better or more advantageous routes that lead to your Higher Purpose.  Higher Guides aim to enable us to achieve new levels of personal power and growth, and will always teach and encourage us to learn to rely on our own inner guidance, even over their advice, because, they will never take away the lessons that we are meant to learn.

Those who channel report feelings of being: -

  • more grounded
  • more stable
  • more in charge of their lives
  • more connected to their Higher Purpose
  • more able to access unbelievable knowledge that in the old way would take years of study [for instance by 'playing' with Energy - I say playing as I came across this totally by accident - I could scan and locate in my Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy a precise point/vein/ligament etc within the human body where some kind of blockage is affecting the client - I call them the rocks in the stream!]

Previously where it took years and years of study for working with our guides, now for various reasons mostly huge vibrational waves/frequencies of light and information reaching the Earth, upgrading and affecting our DNA,  it is now possible to have access to this all encompassing knowledge.

As well, instead of the old form of channelling in ‘trance’ where you would come to, not know what the heck went on, and had to have someone else update you [a form of Chinese whispers!] – now this type of channelling is a totally conscious one.   One which allows the person doing the channeling to hear and interact with the information coming through, as well as have more control over which guides they connect or do not connect with.

This new form of  ”channeling will give you the wise teacher you seek, one who comes from within rather than without”.  A fabulous book that will turbo-charge your ability to channel is ‘Opening to Channel - a beautiful inspiring and empowering channelled work by Sanaya Roman and her loving Guide Orin. We all have the ability to connect with a high-level Guide, and according to Orin, Sanaya Roman’s Guide, ‘The only requirements are your desire and intent to do so”.

Opening to Channel: How to connect with your Guide by, Sanaya Roman & her Guide Orin & Duane Packer & his Guide Daben, is the perfect book to learn how to channel in this new way. And those of you fearful of ‘surrendering’ to being in trance, will be delighted that this is no longer necessary and that you too can achieve ideas, knowledge, wisdom and creativity to instill some necessary magic into your lives.

There is an excellent Opening to Channel Book & Audio Course available in CD, Download or PDF.  You will so fall in love with this work, that you will want to move on to Improve Your Channeling and Advanced Channeling Skills.  Whilst there check out the freebies, articles etc, as well as all the other excellent books, audios & down-loadable mp3′s.
