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 . . .

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.

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.

Expanding on our ‘Nemesis’ Series of Posts and understanding of these issues that keep us stuck – well here’s one that falls slap bang in our continuing ‘nemesis posts‘ and within the area of healthy boundaries, and healthy balance of power within our relationships.  Know any narcissists? And what exactly is a narcissist? Well read this e-book, check out the characteristics, and count how many light-bulb moments occur for you.  

Blog authors, Lori Hoeck Of Think Like a Black Belt & Betsy Wuebker Of Passing Thru, have produced an amazing and entirely free piece of work that should be considered essential reading to anyone who have had to deal with difficult and puzzling people.  The ebook is called “The Narcissist – A User’s Guide”.  And before we dive in, here is a quick recap of  a personal ‘nemesis’ – ‘a sticky, thorny, area or aspect of our lives, that whatever we try, and however long we stick at it, we never manage to either transform, or shake off for good’.

The point here is to remember as Lori and Betsy point out early on in The Guide, is that, ‘Dysfunctional people are a part of life. They help us grow emotionally and spiritually as we learn to deal with out anger toward them or we let go of needing to control them’.  True healing is being able to recognise and identify the buttons these people push that provoke certain reactions within us; to understand also that some people need to elevate their own self-worth by diminishing ours.

The ebook features many stories of those who have survived a relationship with a narcissist and survived to tell the tale.  The ones who have, tell humbly of the denial involved – their co-dependency – the outright unwillingness to believe due to “the addictive hold the whole dynamic has for the narcissist, and to a lesser extent the narcissist’s enabler in the relationship”.  Until one day the certain realisation dawns, as Clarissa Pinkola Estes points out in Women Who Run With The Wolves; that “When the soulful life is being threatened, it is not only acceptable to draw the line and mean it, it is required.”

With recognising and identifying however comes the necessary healing – the dawning that you may indeed have tired of feeding this particular dynamic – the lesson has been learnt – and it is time to move on to better times – to times when your body, mind and spirit are free to just be – no more walking on eggshells – no more games, no more traps, no more put downs, and most of all NO more manipulations – to even believe that it is possible to attract new more healthy relationships with people more on an equal healing level.

To have gained the awareness that those well-used buttons used by our narcissist were merely ‘buttons of unresolved fears or pain’ within us is a sobering event, though one that propels us forward from that old place of pain.  Will it be easy once you get to this point of no return and release the hold of the narcissist? That depends, however, do take careful note here, of the recommendations of Lori and Betsy in relation to your personal safety!

Have faith at this time however, and begin to discern what is truely happening within.  For underneath it all will be a recognisable feeling of a ‘high five from your Higher/Authentic Self as you re-join and realign body mind and spirit,  and realise with certainty that this major and important life lesson has been accomplished. Woo Hoo – way to go!

And even if you feel the need to occasionally look behind for any sign of that familiar spectre of the old ‘nemesis’, realise that the addiction to that situation is now over – that any needs, self-doubts that may have been met from that old situation, now actually can and need to be fully met by yourself, as each day you grow stronger and stronger.

As The Guide predicts “You finally learn that “kindness doesn’t come with strings attached; manipulation does.”

A huge thank you to Lori and Betsy for this highly informative free download of ‘The Narcissist: A User’s Guide’ check out Lori Hoeck Think Like A Black Belt & Betsy Wuebker Passing Thru.

Some further essential reading that will support your progression having read The Guide’ is Caroline Myss’ excellent book ‘Anatomy of the Spirit’ – where she discusses fully our ‘power’ in relation to the chakras – 1st Chakra Tribal Power/2nd Chakra The Power of Relationships/3rd Chakra Personal Power & Self-Esteem/4th Chakra Emotional Power/5th Chakra The Power of Will/6th Chakra The Power of the Mind/7th Chakra Our Spiritual Power & Connection.

Bless you as you do this work.  I love the meaning of Namaste which is the light in me, greets/recognises the light within you – and I say it now to you at this point if you are indeed having those light-bulb moments that I mentioned earlier.  Do what is necessary and reach out to the trust-worthy around you, those able to support you with this massive shift in consciousness.

Namaste

Coming across an image of these adorable Easter Bunny baskets in my junk folder, I knew immediately that they would make the best Easter presents for the little ones in my life.  Instead of clicking delete, I checked out the site which turned out to have some really wonderful gift items.  For some unknown reason, this caused me to begin to sift and sort through the internal junk folder of my life.  What are those ideas, the plans, the adventures, the dreams, long forgotten and still buried away in your internal junk folder?  You know, the ideas, the plans, the dreams and adventures long thrown out.  

For instance, at 16 wanting to become an osteopath, I made an appointment at the school of osteopathy in London to check it out.   How amazing that coming across those innocent little bunnies, would flip the lock open to such long forgotten memories.  All these aspects I once thought important, though for whatever reason, they all seemed to fall by the wayside and end up in my internal junk folder.  It now makes me smile to consider that the energy healing teachers I have been most inspired by all started out as chiropractors; and that the spinal cord is such a feature in my sessions with clients.

If you can, allow these ideas, the plans, the adventures, the dreams, still buried away in your internal junk folder to re-appear like tiny bubbles up to surface.  Which ones immediately jump to mind; pay particular notice as they may be a BIG hint for all those responding to a calling deep within; those now interested in changing career at the moment.

As you pursue the relentless search for true purpose, why not curl up somewhere quietly this Easter with some very good nice 70% chocolate, and go through your own junk folder? Some Hotel Chocolat Nibbly Nibs would be ideal for this!  Light a fire, choose a deep comfy sofa,  - you may as well – the Easter weekend weather forecast in the UK is truly awful!

Go ahead – delve deep – locate your own inner bag lady [or bag man] follow that important breadcrumb trail and see what clues lie there waiting to be revealed.  You never know what jewels you may find – perhaps even stumble across the divine purpose – the reason you now remember you came here on this earth for, at this particularly auspicious time on the planet.

Wishing you a very Happy Easter and plenty of good dark chocolate.

Till later .  .  .
