It is easy to get caught up in our materialistic society that equates feeling joyful and happy in life with acquiring material possessions. If we just have that new home, new car, new dress, etc, then we will be filled with joy...... or will we?
Early last year my daughter handed a $10 note back to an elderly lady, who had unwittingly dropped it in a shopping centre. In appreciation, the lady pulled out a bookmark from the bottom of her handbag as a gift with the following wonderful message:r
For many people the most difficult thing to master in their self-development jou ey is the ability to find Inner Stillness, that pure place within you that is your divine spark, your connection to all that is and the source of inspirational and transformational ideas. I would like to share with you a relatively simple technique I have developed that most people interested in self-development will be able to master with a little practice. First, find yourself a quiet, comfortable place where you can lie undisturbed for about 20 minutes.
Aromatherapy has been used across many cultures since ancient times. Ancient Egyptians used specific aromatherapy oils as they were mummifying a body. On the heads of guests they also placed scented wax cones that would melt progressively releasing the fragrances of the essential oils. In modern-day France, famous for its high quality lavender oils, essential oils can be used internally instead of medicine by trained aromatherapists.
Even though our conscious mind knows we should not behave or react in a certain way to certain people or situations, we often do it anyway! We know we shouldn’t turn red in the face and sweat when we have to talk to our boss, we know we shouldn’t procrastinate getting our assignment done and we know we shouldn’t keep attracting the same kind of inappropriate partners, but we don’t seem to have any control over our actions.
In order to keep ourselves in good energetic balance as healers we need to develop a daily routine for keeping ourselves centered and grounded.
Want to discover how you can ‘Shine your Light’ brighter and reach your full potential as a Healer or Lightworker? As a professional healer I am often approached by other healers wanting to find ways to heal their own wounds and self-imposed limitations, so that they can ‘step out of their own way’ and really get on with using their healing gifts and knowledge for the benefit of each other, humanity and the planet. I have observed 5 key areas that healers and lightworkers need to address to reach their full potential and do their healing work at a much higher vibration.
I am sure you remember in 2008 and the early part of 2009 the doom and gloom merchants, largely in the media, that would have had us believe the global economy was irretrievably collapsing. The fear thus generated in people caused them to feel like powerless victims completely unable to control the direction of their life. Isn't it time we realise we have been controlled through media-generated fear and disaster for too long?
Especially for professional healers, it is extremely important to clear your energy field from any of another person’s energetic “garbage” that you may inadvertently have taken on during that person’s healing session - a time when your energy field is connected to your client’s. Everyone can benefit from the simple techniques below to help keep you free of energetic dross from others and from your environment.
Each and every one of us on a path of personal growth needs a toolbox of quick, easy and powerful techniques to help us release and move beyond our personal issues and blockages. The ones below are some of my personal favourites: YOGA POSITION FOR CALMNESS AND SLEEP • Lie on your back or sit with your left ankle over the right ankle.
This article will be of great benefit to you, even if you haven’t had any prior experience in healing with energy.
Let me share a powerful technique I have found for assisting anyone struggling to release their old patterns. Many of you will already have heard of Emotional Freedom Technique, commonly called EFT, and may even have tried it. It aims to rebalance the body by systematically tapping on various meridian points around the face and upper body and has been used successfully to treat anything from fear of heights to confidence.
One of the most powerful gifts we can give ourselves is to forgive, both ourselves and others. In forgiving we are not condoning the behaviour of the person we perceive as having wronged us, but rather we are allowing ourselves to break the hold that person has on our lives. Feeling anger towards that person may have been well-justified, but unless it is dealt with and processed it becomes a corrosive aspect in our bodies, leading to physical disease and emotional illness.
“Hypnosis” comes from the Greek word ipnos meaning “sleep”, but really hypnosis is not a sleep state, rather a natural state of deep relaxation. For most people this means lowering the brainwave frequency from waking (beta) to (alpha), the same level as in meditation.
My garden is my pride and joy and it broke my heart to see the beautiful plants being cooked in place in the extreme heat over summer. Combined with the drought conditions, many of these plants appeared to die completely. Then the miracle happened. The inner Resilience of these plants refused to let them die and with the first decent rainfall they seemed to be rebo as green leaves appeared and the grass regenerated. All those plants that would normally have flowered over summer, but had been struggling to just exist, suddenly burst forth into bud.
2008 and the early part of 2009 saw global sharemarkets take a nose-dive as people watched their hard-ea ed savings in share investments and superannuation get substantially wiped off. The doom and gloom merchants, largely in the media, would have had us believe the global economy was irretrievably collapsing. The fear thus generated in people caused them to feel like powerless victims completely unable to control the direction of their life. Isn't it time we realise we have been controlled through media-generated fear and disaster for too long?
How often have you procrastinated about starting something important, creating unnecessary anxiety and worry, when it would have been a lot simpler and less stressful to just do it and get it out of the way? For many people the answer is probably more times than they care to remember. What causes us to know what we should do and yet we seem almost incapable of taking that first step towards accomplishing it? The answer is that our conscious mind is like the tip of the iceberg, with the vast majority of our patterns and beliefs residing in the 90% of our mind that we term the subconscious.
Recently I was sitting in my parked car waiting to collect my daughter from her drama lesson when an obviously angry woman in a small car tried several times to back into the space in front of me, which was easily long enough for a large car. I noted she had little skill in parking after several unsuccessful attempts that saw her hit the kerb at near right angles each time. Eventually she got her car in and backed it up very close to my car. She opened her door and gesticulated what I thought was, "Can I back up any more?" to which I politely signalled, "No".
Pardon my French, but that's how most people feel in frustration when they think they have done everything right to manifest their dreams using the Law of Attraction, yet nothing changes.
It is all too common that sometime in a person's forties they undergo what is popularly termed a “mid-life” crisis. Either this is because they suddenly realise life is passing them by and they have not met the goals they aspired to in their twenties, or alte atively the person may have been “successful” in obtaining their goals, yet somehow their life is still devoid of meaning and they have a gnawing emptiness inside. Why?
It has only been over the last year or so that I am beginning to understand just how powerful Sound is as healing force. As a stand-alone vibrational healing tool I feel it has been under-rated for too long. Meditating and toning as a group in pristine Tasmanian rainforest in 2007 sent our vibrations soaring as we focused on toning into our own chakras one by one, starting from the base up to beyond the crown to the 12th chakra or cosmic gateway.
Working in the healing industry tends to draw compassionate, caring people as practitioners. Although this is ideally what clients / patients want from health professionals like counsellors, naturopaths, social workers, hypnotherapists, psychologists and so on, the common problem is that such practitioners usually are so busy giving to their clients that they forget to give back to themselves or have closed themselves off from receiving as much as they should energetically to remain energetically balanced.
NLP REFRAMING OF STORED ANGER NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Reframing is easy to do to shift anything from a negative or blocked state into a clear or positive state. The basic technique is the same, no matter what the issue. First of all find what part of the body is holding on to the negative emotion. For instance, the liver commonly holds on to stored anger. Imagine what this trapped anger feels like with all your senses. What shape is it? What size is it? What colour is the anger? Is the anger hard or soft, rough or smooth? Is there a sound associated with it?
Daily stresses often manifest physically in constricted, shallow breathing. Try these easy, quick and most of all, effective, breathing techniques to restore calm rapidly. Bringing mind awareness to deepening the breath immediately turns on the parasympathetic restorative nervous system to safely help release accumulated stress. 3 DEEP BREATHS Ground and centre yourself quickly by taking 3 long, slow, deep breaths and in between each breath say the words ‘Deeper Relaxed’. CALMING BREATH / TUMMY BREATHING • Lie on your back or sit comfortably.
One of the most frequent questions I get from my more spiritual clients is, “How can I reach my highest potential?” Not surprisingly, your lifestyle habits and preferences contribute substantially to whether or not you ever reach your highest potential. To do so, you must be in peak physical, mental, emotional and spiritual condition. Let’s examine 4 ways you can optimize your lifestyle to reach more of your Highest Potential: 1. Heed the nudges to change
How many times have you said to yourself, “I’ve been working on this issue for years, yet I just don’t seem to be making any progress. Why am I still stuck?” At times I’ve even been known to say to myself in exasperation, “But I thought I’d cleared that!” The issue can be anything at all – attracting abusive relationships, being stuck in financial struggle and lack and not being able to move through deep-seated fears, to name a few.
You value your loved ones, you value your friends, you value your business, but how much do you really value YOURSELF? For healers and many other heart-based service professionals, such as massage therapists, life coaches and Reiki channels, the honest answer is not very much. Do Any of these 6 Signs Apply to You? 1. Not knowing what your real Needs arer
Recently I was enjoying my lunch in the sunshine, sitting on a swinging seat in my garden, surrounded by fragrant flowers and chirping birds. I felt like the richest and most abundant person in the whole wide world. Even if someone had offered me a million dollars - cash - there and then, to never allow myself that wonderful experience again, I would have easily refused the money. Some things are just too valuable to put a monetary price on them. I already felt abundant and rich beyond measure.
