What's it all about?

It is about YOU, the way you are, the key influences and events in your life that have brought you to where you are now and the way you would like your life to be. The important thing is to break through the layers of old conditioning and beliefs about how you "should" lead your life, identifying any problem areas and clearing out emotional clutter connected with them. Once that is achieved it is much easier to get back in touch with your "authentic self" , making healthy choices for yourself and creating a life you love.

There is no "magic" or "Secret process", all that is required is a genuine desire to commit yourself to change and a series of practical steps to make those changes happen. I run regular workshops that can take you through the entire process in a safe and supportive environment ( shop

 

Mind/Body Link

The next step is to understand how your way of life and in particular your thoughts impact your body. You have probably heard sayings like "you are what you eat", and there is no doubt that if you put good food with the right nutrients into your body, then it will thrive. In the same way "you are what you think". Healthy positive thoughts bring joy and health to your body whereas negative, black thoughts bring depression and dis-ease. If this negativity goes on over a prolonged period, it can result in serious health problems. As an example, long held resentment and anger, as in something that is "eating away at you", may result in cancer. At this point I like to use meditation and non-dominant hand drawing to get a clearer insight to any health issues. (if you are a Carer/Caregiver for an elderly or infirm relative take a look here)

Even if you do not know what old hurts or negative beliefs you may be carrying - meditating, listening to your own body's messages and nourishing yourself with positive thought energy will bring good results.

 

Forgiveness

Having got back in touch with your "whole self" it is now possible to start the releasing or clearing out process.  At some time everyone experiences resentment, bitterness, anger, hatred, and other similar emotions from events, people and situations that have occurred in their life. These are natural emotions and problems only start to arise when these emotions are held onto.  Seemingly terrible things do happen, and people can be cruel and unkind, but one thing is certain,  when people stay locked in these emotions unwilling to forgive, they are the only ones that suffer. Forgiveness is not always easy, but frees the soul and allows love to flow in. Forgiveness is a powerful healing tool, it does not condone what happened, it just releases the individual from continuing to be a victim.  Some people call this "Feng Shui for the Soul".

Quite often the hardest person to forgive is ourselves!

 

Gratitude

It is so easy to focus on the negative aspects of our lives, the unfulfilled dreams, the lack of particular things we feel we need or should have. How often do we take time to think through all the wonderful and positive things we already have or experience. Having cleared out a lot of emotional clutter and negativity it is now easier to see that there are also good things in our lives that we want to keep.

It is one of the unwritten laws of the universe that what we focus on expands. The way to bring more good things into your life is to really appreciate and be grateful for those you already have. You will also notice if you "practice" gratitude how much lighter and happier you feel.

As a simple exercise before you go to sleep each night take a notebook and write down ten things that you are grateful for in your life. Don't get too bogged down in what they are. For instance things like - a friend making you some coffee, a delivery turning up on time, as well as the more important things such as a home to live in, family, friends etc. When you start doing this you may feel you will not be able to come up with ten things, but as you start to write you will find that many more pop into your mind.  Give it a try.

By appreciating the good we already have in our lives we open ourselves up to receiving even more.

 

Affirmations

All the way through the workshop we will be making positive affirmations, however at the end having clearly seen what you no longer want in your life and what your dreams, loves and wishes really are , you can confidently create affirmations to manifest these things in your life.

Make it a habit right now to use positive affirmations. These are positive statements and are always in the present tense. Keep them simple and personal to you, do not make affirmations for others apart from wishing them well.  Below is an affirmation to cover what has been discussed above. Say it to yourself, say it whilst looking at yourself in the mirror and say it out loud with open arms if you feel so inclined.

"Today I choose to see my life for the wonderful gift that it is. I love and accept myself exactly as I am. I make choices that are right for me and healthy for my body.  I forgive everyone, including myself, I easily release the past and I am free".
