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.

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 .  .  .

Tune in to some Energy Healing with nature this Spring Equinox, Saturday 20th March at 17:32 pm UK time.  Spring Equinox is especially linked with nature; a day when both sunrise and sunset are exactly 12 hours apart giving us equal hours of the day and night.  For all those asking ‘when is spring?’, especially after the tough winter we have had, well here we go!  From here on in, the days will lengthen and our nights will shorten.  So how exactly do we both celebrate and harness the energy healing that accompanies this important annual planetary change?  

Having been a total city girl, now relocated to the country, I have learnt well, and take my cue from Machaelle Small Wright in her book The Perelandra Garden Workbook [a must for anyone wanting to work energetically with Nature Spirits].  Machaelle says of her garden, “At the equinox moment, I sense the transfer of the entire garden from the devic level, to the nature spirit level.  I also sense a shift in the overall dynamic of the garden from one of planning to one of action”.  She also adds that on a personal level, she herself, also feels the very same dynamic as with the nature cycle – a”transfer of energy and the shift of intent from planning to action  .  .  . I start to see my personal direction start to unfold in clearer, more tangible ways after the spring equinox”.

Machaelle has been an important teacher for me with my relocation from city to country.  From her I learn how to celebrate this and other important days in the annual calendar; how to entrain my energy to the planet and its changes; to use these days as nature holidays; taking time out; taking time to reflect, to step back and remember the specific nature process in effect on that special day.

What ideas, wishes and dreams have you been planning and plotting this long hard winter? What seeds have you now got primed and ready to germinate in fertile soil as it quickly warms itself up ready to help nature burst forth in all its Spring glory? Get those lists out – attend to those projects you have been procrastinating over.

• Write that book
• Take that seminar
• Learn to drive
• Change career
• Move from the city to the country

Use the power of this amazing planetary happening to give you extra power, to move you closer to where you know you need to be.  And to really internalise the whole nature process Machaelle invites us us perform a simple but special ceremony to celebrate both the day, and this process.  Light a single white candle as you consciously focus on your particular plans at the exact moment of the equinox (check your time zones).

I have already prepared my list, all those items in planning, primed ready and waiting to be harnessed to the Spring Equinox energy – it’s not too late for you – give it a go.
