How Energy Healing Can Help Us Manifest What We Would Like In Our Lives

The Law of Attraction is becoming more and more well known - and for good reason. Of course the idea that we can attract into our lives the things that we want is very alluring. And yet many people are also discovering that sometimes things don't seem to happen the way they had hoped or envisaged..This article looks at the elements I believe need to be in place to manifest the life we desire, and how energy healing can assist in that process. From my own experience, and experience with colleagues, friends and clients, I believe there are 3 main aspects to the manifestation process.

It's All In the Body: How We Store Painful Emotions in Our Bodies and How Energy Healing Can Help Release Them

Before Christmas as I stepped out into the December night after being at my singing group, I could feel the cold “seeping” into my bones. As well as the immediate thoughts (“I don’t like that!” “I preferred being in Spain last week to this!” and “maybe I will emigrate!!!”) I realised that this was a very familiar feeling.

Rewriting the Past in Order to Heal

I was reading a book when I was in Spain by my favourite (at the moment!) author - William Boyd. It's set just before and during the First World War, and at the beginning of the story, the hero is in Vienna, where he is having psychotherapy from a pupil of Freud's. And seeing how this unfolded in the narrative, I was struck by a similarity in approaches between what is described in this novel, and some of the energy healing work I do.

The Crown Chakra

It seems an appropriate time to come to the end of our journey through the chakras - the Crown Chakra. This is the part of the journey that is less to do with our individual selves, and more to do with transcending a sense of separate self. When we are balanced in this chakra, we are connected with the divine, the source, a sense that there is something beyond the material world - whatever words resonate with you! We are filled with wonder at life and its unfolding, and have a high-capacity to trust and to simply be with whatever is happening in the moment.

Healing from ME: Coming to Terms with an ME Diagnosis

In a recent article, I wrote about the early stages of ME. At this stage, it is very common (and completely understandable) to experience a lot of fear, confusion and loss of confidence. And an ME diagnosis from an established authority like a medical doctor can be really affirming - and can make us feel that we are not going mad. The internal chaos in our body and mind has been validated by a professional who knows what they are talking about.

Healing From ME: The Many Benefits of the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

In the last week, I have worked a lot with clients using the Emotional Freedom technique (EFT) - and in a number of different ways - to manage the physical symptoms of ME, beliefs around health and illness as well as a way of just feeling more calm and more happy. I am also using it myself a lot at the moment.

Healing Through Juice Cleanse

I thought this week I would write about the power of cleansing, and my own experience of a juice cleanse from a few years ago, when I was in the midst of recovery from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I wasn't at all looking forward to my week long herbs and juice cleanse -hoping for good results but fearing the actual process! I had a belief that cleansing would be hard - and actually, that was my experience up until this time!

The Heart Chakra

Hello! Here I am again, this time writing about the heart chakra. I am now half way through writing about the chakras - and the heart is indeed the bridge between the lower three chakras, which are more to do with the physical plane, and the higher three chakras which link us to the divine and the heavenly energies. The heart chakra is located in the centre of the chest; a healthy balanced heart chakra means we are able to give and receive love. When we are unbalanced in this chakra, we can be cynical, distrusting, feeling unloved and out of touch with the softness of life.

Energy Healing: Meditation

I learned to meditate about 17 years ago, and nowadays meditate 4 or 5 times a week, as well as going on intensive meditation retreats from time to time. For me, it's an essential part of a busy life - a chance for time to be with myself, to see what's really going on in my body and my mind when all the outside "busyness" stops, and a chance to just be quiet. How does that relate to healing? Well, you often read that people who meditate have longer attention spans, are better able to deal with stress, and look younger!

Healing ME: the science behind healing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / ME with the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

I gained inspiration for this article from some reading I was doing about the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT.) Although what I was reading was already familiar to me, it somehow went deeper, and made me realise yet again the power of this and other energy therapies.

Healing From ME: More Benefits of the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

In my last article, I was writing about the many ways in which the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) can be used, whether we are suffering from illness or not. I wrote about how it can be useful for tapping on physical or emotional symptoms, how it can be used for "clearing" limiting beliefs ("I'm not the sort of person who can do... " or in the case of a condition like ME "I'll never get better. I've tried so many things, and nothing has ever worked") and adopting more powerful, empowering beliefs ("others have got better, so why can't I?

Healing From Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Is It a Physical or Mental Condition?

I was talking with one of my clients who has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome on the phone the other day, and she was telling me about her experience of finding a doctor within the mainstream medical world where she lives in Belgium. She needs the practical support of a doctor within the system to help her with her sickness benefit claims, and she would also like a friendly listening ear, within the conventional medicine world so that she feels heard and seen with her illness.

The Sacral Chakra

Hello again! Now it is time to continue the journey through the chakras, and look at the sacral chakra. The sacral chakra is located just below the belly button, and is associated with creativity and sexuality, and is to do with our appetite for both food and sex. When we are balanced here, we are in touch with our emotions, and are open to receiving and giving pleasure.

Treatment for ME: The Benefits Of A Discovery Session

I have been offering Chronic Fatigue Discovery sessions for the last six months or so, and can see very clearly how people are benefiting from them. So I thought I would write a little bit more about the benefits to you of a discovery session. So, first things first: why have I chosen the title "discovery" session? Well, one of the things people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome often say to me is that, even if they have supportive people around them (and I know a lot of people don't even have that), those people, however well meaning, don't really understand what they're going through.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Moving The Body

It's often the case that my dance teachers say things like "the body loves to move" or "make your body happy - move in the way it wants to move." And, for me now that resonates as truth. I know from my experience with energy healing and recovery from illness that emotions are held in the energy field, and can affect the physical body. Moving the body as it wants to move can literally facilitate release of stuck emotions and lead to healing.

Treatment for ME: When Other People Don't Think You Can Get Better

This week I am again inspired by my clients as to what to write about. I was scheduling a session with one of my clients who completed my two month Chronic Fatigue Syndrome programme a couple of months ago - and in one of his emails to me he told me how grateful he was to me that he can really feel his energy and health returning, and is able to do so much more than he could before we started working together.

Raw Food Examined

Over the last week or so, I have been listening to a lot of inspirational people in the raw food world talk about various aspects of following this type of diet (whether a completely or only in part raw food diet). The experts talked about all kinds of aspects related to eating and food: nutrition, emotions, social, spiritual, eco and ethical. It was a bit of a "whirlwind" as there was so much information presented in a short space of time.

Healing ME: "Transcending an ME Diagnosis"

This is the third of three articles that looks at the process of receiving an ME diagnosis, coming to terms with it and now in the final post what I call “transcending” the ME diagnosis. I have written about how initially receiving the diagnosis can be helpful and affirming (see Healing from ME: ME Diagnosis), and how we can then go through a time of “battling” the diagnosis or feeling resigned to it before coming to acceptance of our situation (see coming to acceptance of an ME diagnosis.)

The Third Eye Chakra

We are now near the end of our journey through the chakras - at the third eye chakra (also known as the brow chakra), which is located in the centre of the forehead. Here, at the end of the journey in the territory of the sixth and seventh chakras, we are in the spiritual realm - where the sense of a separate self is transcended. The brow chakra is associated with the eyes, the ears, the nose and sinuses, as well as certain brain functions. Diseases of the third eye chakra include those of the eyes, ears and nose, as well as headaches and migraines, and nervous system disorders.

Treatment for ME: More About Healing The Past With Inner Child Healing

Hello again! Last time, I wrote about what I consider one of the most powerful healing modalities: inner child healing. I described how we can form (unhelpful) patterns as a child which continue into adulthood. Energy healing gives us the chance to release the energy behind those patterns. This transforms how we live our everyday lives, and also frees up energy, leaving us more vital and alive. And in the case of those of us with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - with more energy and less fatigue!

Treatment for ME: The Good and The Bad

When my clients are learning the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), a question that often comes up is whether it is "OK" to go back to what we may call "bad" things in our lives in order to release and heal them. People fear, from what they know of positive thinking and affirmations, that focusing on the less positive or on the traumatic in an EFT session will bring more of that energy in that they really don't want in their lives.And the answer from my perspective is "yes" it is beneficial to go back to these issues using an energy therapy like EFT - and for a number of reasons.

EFT for Fear of Public Speaking

Public speaking is often cited as people's number one fear. And I know it was like this for me - I remember as an accountant dreading giving presentations and talks. Then, as I wanted to share things that were closer to my heart, such as my spiritual practice, I realised I needed to get over this fear, and it was at that point that I did a day's course on Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) for Public Speaking.

Hello again! So, I am writing about the base chakra again. Last time, I wrote about the properties of a balanced base chakra, and also about the types of issues and conditions that can occur when the base chakra is out of balance. This time, I would like to write about how to balance and heal the base chakra.

The Benefits of Mindfulness and Meditation in Healing ME

Yet again, it is my clients who have prompted me with what to write about this week. Just today, I have had 2 conversations with clients about mindfulness. One person was going out this evening to a talk on mindfulness, and another was talking about her mindfulness meditation practice, and how it is helping her deal with her condition of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Emotions and Food

Recently, I've had quite a few clients coming to see me with food related issues, which got me thinking about my own (continuing) journey with food. Looking back on my childhood, it is now completely clear to me how (unintentionally of course) my family conditioning set up strong connections between food and emotional eating. I remember really clearly being give "nice" (i.e. sweet or heavy) food as a reward: at Christmas and birthdays of course, but also to help me finish my homework, or to help me to relax in the evenings after I had finished my work.

The Base Chakra Part 1

When I had just moved out to Hebden Bridge, the issues that are to do with the base chakra were very current for me. Even though I really wanted to move out here, and I love it here, at the time I was feeling very "wobbly" and ungrounded - unsurprising in that I have literally "uprooted" myself and all my possessions!

The Throat Chakra

Hello! We are a long way through our chakra journey, now at the throat chakra. This chakra is associated obviously with speaking and communication. But it is far more than that - it is about how we express ourselves in our totality in the world, and how we communicate our truth and the essence of who we are. It is also the gateway between what is stored in our unconscious (i.e. our body memory) and what is stored in our conscious mind (our brain.) When we feel unwilling to look at or be with what is in the unconscious, this can block the throat chakra.

Treatment for ME: Good Vibrations - Sound Healing

Last month I went to the Sheffield ME group to lead a sound healing workshop. Sound healing was a key element in my own recovery journey, and I love sharing this with other people. How does sound healing work? Everything in the universe is vibrating - the chair you're sitting on, you, the plants in your room etc. We all have our own unique vibration. Sound healing makes use of this by bringing in bright, positive vibrations - and as we hear these vibrations, we "entrain" to the positive, and become more balanced and therefore more well.

How Energy Healing Can Help Heal Chronic Illness

If you're reading this article, it is probably because you or someone you are close to is suffering from some kind of chronic illness. You may have tried many ways of getting better: conventional medicine, different alte ative therapies, changing your diet. Whilst these sometimes seem to work for a while, they often don't give you the lasting, sustainable improvement you are looking for.

Further Energetic Patternings Associated with the Chronic Condition ME

This article another article about the energetic patternings that can underly the chronic illness known as ME. As you may know if you have read any of my other articles, I am writing from my own experience of recovering from ME, and from the experience of my clients who come with this condition. It often seems, and it was certainly the case for me, that people who become chronically ill with ME have a history of pushing themselves, always wanting to achieve the best, and often lacking balance in their lives.

Healing From ME: The Importance of an ME Diagnosis

Over the last 10 days or so, I have been in Spain, partly catching some bright, sometimes hot sunshine, but also doing a lot of work on the expansion of my healing practice to specialise in the treatment of ME. I have been writing about my experience of the condition a lot in the copy for my new website. And it has been in my mind a lot, in a way it hasn't been recently. So, this has prompted me to write some articles about some of the subjects that have been in my mind, and the first of these is how important it is with this condition to receive an ME diagnosis,

How Illness Can Change Us

The other night I was at 5 rhythms dance (a dance that is fun and also therapeutic and healing) - and at the end of the session, someone started to talk to me about her experience of being round me in the dance (nothing frightening! - only positive.) I was really pleased she had spoken to me, as I had been struggling with feeling low emotionally and physically. So, I told her that, including that I had bee "ill" - and she immediately said - "oh! Isn't it interesting with illness that you always feel a different person at the end of it?"

Sign of Recovery?

A few weeks ago, when I was in Manchester for healing sessions, two of my clients and one of my colleagues talked about being drawn to wear a different type of clothes. This is an experience I've had at different times in my life, including when I was recovering from ME / CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) - and now seems a good time to talk about it.

Healing From ME: Small Steps Lead to Big Transformation and Healing

As is often the case, it is my clients that give me ideas of what to write about in these articles. Yesterday, in a healing session with a client on my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome treatment programme, he was telling me about some of the changes he has noticed: - Not having to rest every time he goes up the stairs - Being able to tie his shoe laces without sitting down - Being more positive - Being more reliable with friends and family ie sticking to commitments - Without planning or intending it, realising that he is doing more each day

Powerful Healing With Access Consciousness and the Bars

Over the last couple of months, I have become increasingly interested in a healing modality called "Access Consciousness." It's a system of healing that is designed to bring us out of judgement, and into awareness and consciousness. It includes both hands on body work, and verbal enquiry processes that allow this to happen - and often the changes can be very quick!

Healing from ME: the importance of other factors as well as the ME Diagnosis

I have just written a series of articles about coming to terms with an ME diagnosis: the beginning stage of an illness where an ME diagnosis can be affirming, the period of adjusting to the diagnosis, and then finally the opportunity to transcend the ME diagnosis and move into a space of greater wellness and wholeness. And it struck me that in terms of the way I work with energy healing and the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), the actual ME diagnosis is in some ways really important, and in many other ways not nearly as important as some other factors.
