Since we are experiencing yet another astrological/ascension event with cosmic energies pouring in on top of our heads and generally making us doubt every step we take:) I've been thinking about the 2012 phenomenon.

Within my Theta Healing work I experience many levels of time - past lives of clients, future paths, even working at the multidimensional level. And my sense of much of the new paradigm is that we are being given the opportunity to explore existing and different dimensions.

The consequence of this is a greater sensitivity to time flow. The human, very linear experience turns out not to be so rigid when you are experiencing being in the Now and understanding instantaneous manifesting and healing. All of which can make you feel that you're being fed through a mincer backwards lol.

One of the 2012 fears is "the end of the world" scenario. And in many ways this is how it will be experienced - not I hasten to add on a particular calendar day - but as a gradual shift in consciousness. But it also occurred to me that it is the end of time when you exist in the Now. We live moment to moment so nothing actually exists beyond the moment - we haven't created it yet! Which of course can be a very scary or a very exciting thought.

One of our current challenges is to release our fear and need for control and projection so that we can step into the real power of understanding our own limitless manifesting and creative abilities.

Challenging Beliefs

2010-03-18T12:08:00.002Z

Every couple of weeks, Emma and I host a practice session for a group of our fellow Theta Healing practitioners. These are a great chance to support each other and to build experience (and of course down the odd glass of wine!).

Last night we were looking at testing beliefs and a process called digging. This is a technique in Theta Healing used to discover and understand the unconscious and underlying beliefs a client may hold around a particular issue - health, emotional, spiritual. Muscle testing is used as a powerful tool to help experience these beliefs and digging is equally powerful at getting to the root or core beliefs. Once these are identified, the practitioner can ask for these beliefs to be changed to much more resourceful ones and a dramatic shift in healing takes place.

Beliefs may be held on several levels - they may have come to us through our family and ancestral lines. They may be a potent mix of social and historical beliefs. They may come from past lives or just our own core beliefs which we all build up through our lifetime.

What interests me is how as practitioners we need to be constantly challenging the beliefs and 'truths' we hold. And this is why it can be difficult to do this process in self-healing.

A belief is powerful and life-influencing for the very reason that we hold it to be a self-evident truth.

So we may experience a health challenge as the body's way of de-toxing and cleansing. Now while that can be eased in the particular symptom it is required to examine the underlying belief that all healing should be accompanied by 'purging' on some level.

It may be that the root belief centers around a belief...that you are not good enough and must always strive for perfection. It may be a belief...that healing has to be earned and pain and discomfort is the price. Without examining and acknowledging this deeper belief, the cycle will repeat and the healing will not truly anchor itself.

However, if the practitioner on some level also holds the belief that it is 'good' to cleanse and de-tox, and remember, this is a very prevalent view in healing; then this belief may not be challenged in the client. And this is were being able to be objective and willing to release beliefs is so necessary.

Everything about this belief seems self-evident and indeed attractive - a necessary step in healing. But is this belief serving your client or yourself? How would the belief that healing is instantly attained with ease and grace serve the client? And how would changing the belief from I am not good enough and must be cleansed to I am worthy of love and healing change their lives for the better?

It is a transformational experience to realise 'self-evident truths' are only beliefs.

Sending Healing to Disaster Zones

2010-03-08T16:21:00.002Z

I had a client last week who asked me for a healing in her home town in Chile. Her family were all involved in the earthquake and whilst she knew they were all uninjured, they had lost all their possessions and she was very scared about aftershocks and the shortages of water and food.

I found this a humbling experience, one because of the healing I witnessed being sent into the region by all the prayers from around the world; but also because I wasn't sure what to ask for once I had witnessed Theta Healing being sent to her family.

I thought you might be interested in what I was guided to ask for and also to be inspired to send a more focused healing when you are moved to offer caring and loving thoughts at these times of great trauma.

The first thing I'd like to share is that we never have to go through these events alone. On a psychic level I was aware of hundreds if not thousands of angels and guides helping, guiding and reassuring. At the end of the session, the whole of the area was a mass of iridescent angel wings.

The other point I've been asked to share is that anyone can ask for this focused healing. Trained 'lightworkers' may feel or 'see' the results but anyone's 'prayers' will be effective and are always answered.

Try to be undisturbed for a time and spend a moment or two centering yourself. Hold an image of the place, event and people you wish to ask healing for and then bring that awareness into your heart. (It's just the same as sending love and comfort to your child and loved ones).

Ask that all politicians be guided to make wise choices and decisions

Ask for all military personnel who are drafted in are supported in their expertise

Ask that all aid workers feel the unseen support and are protected in their work

Ask that everyone be strengthened to remain positive, focused and full of hope, that they do not become disheartened and fearful.

Ask that all emotions of blame and judgement be lifted and feelings of comradeship and co-operation be instilled.

Ask that all concerned be guided to act from their highest heart so that looting and profiteering are minimised.

Ask for world leaders to act wisely and ask that the media behave at the highest good they can.

Ask for the water supplies to be purified and that the engineers repairing the infrastructure are supported and helped.

Ask for ...

Once this process is begun, you will find yourself moved to pour out love and support and you will find your individual focus. Our compassion and desire to offer help is what connects us all and events and disasters can become times of love in action.

Happy 2010

2010-01-01T00:55:00.002Z

It's been an amazing few hours here in Edinburgh!

I've just come back from taking my eldest granddaughter up Calton Hill in time for the midnight fireworks. The display was fantastic both on the Hill and across at the Castle. The roar of hundreds of thousands of people down in Princes Street garden celebrating was incredible and Poppy was nearly taking off like a rocket with excitement (closely followed I must admit by me!).

Earlier in the evening we'd watched the partial Lunar eclipse. Then as we were near the bottom of the Hill on our way home, we watched a Lunar rainbow form in rings around the moon. It was so beautiful and totally magical.

After the last couple of days of energy raining down on us it was like a blessing. I'm taking it as a sign that 2010 is going to be amazing for us all!

Happy New Year!

Much love from
Susan and Emma xx

Peace in the Moment

2009-12-14T09:12:00.005Z

December is probably the busiest month for most of us and in all the rush and demands it's good to take a quiet time to just be.

Not easy I hear you say but there is always a moment in the day when we can look beyond our worries and notice the beauty.

It might be a beautiful tree in the garden, time to read a favourite poem, connect on Facebook with a friend, stop for a moment to enjoy a Christmas carol on the radio, chat to a neighbour or just have that lovely satisfaction when you can tick one more job off the preparations list!

Reflections

2009-11-27T15:42:00.002Z

This week I've been reminded how much we are all reflections of each other.

American Thanksgiving is so identifiable to us all - a time for being with loved ones and family, cooking and having fun, renewing traditions for each generation.

On a personal level I have been overcome the last few days by the kindness of friends and the support of strangers and have been so aware of how we are all aspiring for very similar dreams and desires. How much we all want love, peace, safety and well being. At times feeling the intimacy of the energies has been too much and I've wanted to shout out - back off, let me have some space! But each day brings new awareness of how we are all working together in a way not really experienced before. No one is coming into our lives by accident. No story we hear is by chance. We are busy connecting a great web of energy - ready to change our World.

Expansion is Wonderful

2009-11-18T17:19:00.002Z

Expansion is what we are all doing in every second of our day. It’s why we are here. Some call it ‘learning lessons’, some call it ‘my purpose’ or ‘my soul path’. It is the basis of Law of Attraction - seeing what you don’t want causes you to know what you do want - and in that moment, there is expansion. A new desire, a possibility of change, growth.

But we humans dance this dance of doing everything in our power to resist change, to resist expansion. We fight and kick and stamp our feet to hold on to the belief that maintaining the status quo is happiness, is correct, is serving ourselves and our communities.

We are taught from an early age that change is chaos, change makes you different, you will become something unrecognisable and threatening if you change. Your loved ones will lose you - because of course, they are being sensible and doing everything they can to resist change, resist growth. If you change and grow, you will be responsible for their unhappiness.

When you see it out loud, it seems absurd doesn’t it?

Expansion is as natural as breathing - in fact it is breathing. What do your lungs do when you breath in? They expand. Now that didn’t hurt, did it?

But why should we want to co-operate in this expansion stuff? Surely it’s easier to buy into the ‘reality’ that growth equals chaos?

Expansion is always into a better feeling place. When you reach for love, that’s expansion. When you feel excited by a new idea, that’s expansion. When you feel satisfaction at a job well done, that’s expansion. When your child gives you a hug and you smile, that’s expansion. When you plant spring bulbs in the wintertime in the anticipation of beauty in the spring, that’s expansion. When you help your neighbour, that’s expansion. When you sit down to a meal with all your family together, that’s expansion. When you learn something new, that’s expansion.

Whenever you feel better, feel good, feel happy, feel joy - that’s growth and expansion.

As simple as that. And the wonderful truth is that...the more you expand, the more you expand. The more you choose to expand and have these better feelings, the more experiences and people and situations will come to you which allow you to expand.

Joy, love, abundance, enthusiasm, hope aren’t dangerous or painful feelings. They are the natural basis of our expansion and growth. Anything else is resistance and resistance is painful and exhausting. Even one moment of Joy in your day will expand you beyond your wildest dreams.

And Joy can be found in the most unlikely places, just make the choice and allow it to steal over you. Let it lead you into expansion and growth and the life you truly want.

What is Life?

2009-11-11T16:07:00.000Z

What is life?

It is the flash of a firefly in the night
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime
It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset

Soar with Joy

2009-11-10T14:33:00.004Z

A lot of clients recently have been saying “I’m tired of playing small” or “I’m not thinking big enough, am I?”

It’s as if we are all waking up to our own potential, to the potential of the lives we can lead, the differences we can make.

So what exactly will “playing and thinking big” feel like?

It feels expansive, joyful, scary sometimes. It feels supported and creative. It feels exciting and full of deep peace - both at the same time. It takes your breath away and yet you find yourself breathing deeply for perhaps the first time in your life. It has you laughing and crying at the simplicity and the love of it. You reach out fearlessly to others, you give all you have and receive all they have to give in exquisite thankfulness. Rather than searching for truth you find yourself living it.

Ideas and projects flow with ease, you effortlessly see solutions and new methods of doing things. You co-operate, you lead by example, you show your eagerness to listen and to learn. You experience the world around you with great clarity. You live moment to moment poised in the wonder of each one.

Boundaries dissolve, you cease to measure and weigh the love which comes to you since you are becoming love in action. Daily you stand on the heights and spread your wings to soar with joy.

You enable others, you hold a light, you make a difference, you act fearlessly, you exist in a flood of appreciation.

You are a vast still point of potential and love.

Healing in the Community

2009-11-07T11:21:00.003Z

I met with a friend yesterday who has just completed her Theta Healing training. She loved it and is now putting together a project to offer Reiki, Theta and other supportive and empowering modalities to homeless and at risk clients.

We were chatting about this and both began to explore the notion of what our societies would be like if as well as the wonderful work the carers, wardens, doctors, nurses etc do; every hospital, every prison, every elderly care home, every children's home, every drop-in centre had its own Theta healer, Reiki healer...

How transformed lives could become, how empowered everyone would become - because it works at such a deep level changing beliefs and behaviours.

Of course it's a dream most healers and servers of communities have and many are quietly working to bring this about. But the true change would be when all forms of healing and empowerment were recognised and brought into the 'mainstream'. When the culture of dependency, dis-empowerment and judgement is transformed into a heart-centered recognition of the path we are all on.

A week in the life of ...

2009-11-01T18:45:00.002Z

It was an astonishing week for Emma and I at 7th Space. We had amazing clients which took us both into a much deeper level with our Soul Healing. We finished on Friday feeling we'd been stretched to our limits, but at the same time supported in our personal journeys.

One of the wonderful aspects is how this depth of healing doesn't so much have a 'them and us' aspect - the client and the practitioner who knows best. Rather each session is very equal with our clients totally involved in their own discoveries and healing. That also means that each consultation is totally unique!

On Saturday we hosted our Hallowe'en Workshop - a chance for everyone to become aware of the energies which support us all. We believe passionately in self-empowering our clients to understand, cleanse and activate their own energy systems - chakras, aura, learning how to ground and cleanse the energy of the spaces around them. Becoming familiar with the guides and angels which choose to work with us means that we can access the help and guidance they offer us so lovingly.

Writing this now, I can feel my anticipation of the coming week growing - roll on tomorrow morning :))

Soul Purpose Part 3

2009-10-19T19:54:00.005+01:00

How can we learn to listen to the guidance system of our soul?

As I explained in Part 2 we seem to have keywords - themes, which our souls explore through our time lines but although this keyword (healing, power etc) might be familiar, we are not bound to follow these patterns.

But surely finding your soul's purpose is going to make your life far more fulfilling and miraculously make everything alright? Well, that implies that your soul was 'given' or 'chose' a specific purpose and that if you don't live through this filter, your life will be a failure. This is not my experience within Soul Healing. Many of my clients have immense pain and dis-empowering beliefs around their keywords and it is only when healing is activated does their soul truly remember how magnificent it is.

Then the voices from their heart and soul can be heard much more clearly. One of the ways to tap into this wisdom is to think back to your childhood and re-discover some of the activities you loved and did as naturally as breathing. Often our creativity blossomed when we were children only to be stifled by adult fears and criticism.

Take time for yourself and ask yourself some deep questions about what type of person you truly are - how you view life. Those attributes can be worth exploring. They can hold clues as to what makes our heart sing, what raises our vibration so we attract abundance and joy - which is our true soul purpose.

Visit Soul Healing at 7th Space for more information about this healing at this deep level and how it can help you. All consultations are available over Skype.

Soul Purpose Part 2

2009-10-16T09:21:00.002+01:00

"We are infinite beings, we are not here to restrict ourselves to one path, to one soul purpose. However, what I'm also told is that each soul may have a keyword - a theme..."

That's where I left you yesterday:)

So how can there be these contradictory truths? Well...we are not all alike and we don't all want the same things and experiences. And what I witness during soul healing is that we appear to have particular frequencies of energy - which in human terms we might term talents or gifts. So one soul may have explored being a healer through several lifetimes. Another may have explored power - how to wield it, how to learn from it etc. And these patterns may keep recurring.

When I asked about this, I was told it's rather like a 'keyword' that the soul keeps exploring. Sometimes this focus causes problems and traumas for the soul at various times - a couple of hundred years ago, most 'healers' risked being burnt at the stake! And the memories of these events and beliefs can impact on us today.

During Soul Healing we can re-visit these events and ask for healing and for beliefs to be lifted, having an immediate relief and healing in the present. Then the way is clear for the client to begin exploring the possibility of their 'keywords'.

And this is where understanding that the soul is not bound by past patterns and themes is essential.

The habit of these themes may be familiar but that doesn't mean that they are all the soul is 'allowed' to experience. The soul is free to experience, explore and devote itself to anything which makes it directly feel the love, abundance and joy which is a reflection of its true self.

However, the human aspect of us (in reality of course, there is no division!) will benefit endlessly when we are able to hear the truths and experiences which make our soul sing. Having a greater understanding of what energies match our soul means that we have an internal guidance system to help us become more integrated, feel more complete within ourselves and support us in living a life which fulfills us.

So how can we learn to listen to this guidance system of our soul?

Part 3 tomorrow :)

Visit Soul Healing at 7th Space for more information about this exciting modality and how it can help you. All consultations are available over Skype.

Soul Purpose Part 1

2009-10-15T16:10:00.003+01:00

There are a lot of us seeking our Soul Purpose these days. The thinking seems to be that finding this will validate our lives, give structure and meaning to them. All of which is perfectly fine - except...just for a moment, say the words aloud. What do you hear? 'Sole' purpose - as in just one purpose.

When I'm Soul Healing with my clients one of the most powerful things I witness is how the healing literally sets the soul free. Clients often 'feel' themselves growing in size as the restrictive energy is cleansed. They become aware of all the possibilities now open to them as they are released from old beliefs, experience resolutions in their personal time lines and let go of contracts and vows which don't serve them. It's a magical and profound moment.

And the information I receive is so clear - we are infinite beings, we are not here to restrict ourselves to one path, to one truth. On the contrary, Soul Healing is about setting ourselves and the people in our lives free.

So looking for just one 'purpose' is really just another way of ducking out of understanding who we truly are!

However, what I'm also told is that each soul may have a keyword - a theme...

Part 2 tomorrow :)

Live Life with Abundance and Joy

2009-10-04T18:16:00.005+01:00

Our exciting new LIVE LIFE Program is officially launched this weekend!

We've each had several 'test' clients which enabled us to really find out what worked and how best to tailor the Program to individual client's needs. We (and our clients!) have been blown away by how effective the Program is at jump-starting manifesting and the Law of Attraction.

Using Soul healing to clear the blocks and beliefs preventing our clients from moving successfully towards what they want really speeds up the Flow of Abundance and being able to teach techniques which uncover the things, people and experiences in their lives which make their hearts sing, means clients are able to stand in an wonderful place of self-empowerment.

I'm not sure Emma and I are getting much sleep - we are so excited and committed to this :)

Visit www.7thspace.co.uk for full details of the LIVE LIFE Program and don't forget to visit us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/7thspace.Susan or www.facebook.com/7thspace.Emma

Enlightenment

2009-09-19T19:20:00.002+01:00

Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water.
The moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken.
Although its light is wide and great,
The moon is reflected even in a puddle an inch wide.
The whole moon and the entire sky
Are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass.

Facebook Friends

2009-09-09T09:27:00.002+01:00

People often ask what are the benefits of Facebook other than an implied sort of navel watching! Well, on Saturday I am meeting up with one of my Facebook friends in person. What is wonderful about that is that she is one of my favourite authors. She lives in America and I felt really chuffed when I found her Facebook page and she accepted me as a friend.

She is here in Edinburgh this week to do some research for an upcoming book and we are meeting for tea on Saturday. I can't wait!

Many people perceive the web as being a very negative and even a dangerous place but in many ways it just reflects life. In our towns and cities there are places we don't venture into because they don't match our vibrations and then there are the places we go to for fun and socialising. The web really has opened up the world and I for one am so grateful that Facebook enables like-minded people to connect in a meaningful way.

Late Summer

2009-09-08T15:54:00.002+01:00

Although the weather is beautifully mild still, there are a few reminders that autumn is one its way. The nights are drawing in and we have to close the curtains much earlier. And there are less bees and insects around.

The butterflies especially are not nearly so prolific, but of course all the more precious for that!

There is a famous observation by Ralph Waldo Emerson along the lines of "if the stars only came out for one night in a thousand years we would sing their praises and stay up all night to catch the merest glimpse of this rare wonder. Instead the stars come out every night and we go to bed."

Rain, Rain, Rain!

2009-09-03T14:51:00.003+01:00

It is raining so hard in Edinburgh today that I decided to put my Wellington boots on to come to 7th Space. I have to confess to feeling a little self-conscious at first, I usually only wear them in the garden, but then wet weather is what they are designed for!

By the time I had walked with my umbrella under the trees and across the park to the bus stop, I was well into the swing of things. The years peeled back as I splashed through the puddles like a three year old. I came into the Space feeling lighthearted and full of joy!

The End of Summer

2009-09-01T14:39:00.003+01:00

I was out walking the other day and enjoying the late summer flowers - michaelmas daisies, last of the roses, and bright dahlias. They are so colourful, like the leaves which will soon be turning in a blaze of glory.

Many people dislike autumn, seeing it as a time of decay and death. I've always loved it - for me autumn is a time for change, for reassessing and for lovingly releasing the things which are no longer serving you.

And while that can sometimes feel difficult, letting go of things you have loved, or plans and dreams which no longer match your energy frequency; in truth it is as easy as a tree releasing its leaves- just let go...

Four Horses

2009-08-28T12:05:00.003+01:00

In Medieval times much literature and thought was dedicated to the biblical Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - War, Famine, Pestilence and Death. Given the plagues, war and famines which swept the world it wasn't surprising they were on everyone's mind!

But I was sitting dreaming the other day and I think the world is more than ready for the Four Winged Horses of Light. Love, Gratitude, Joy and Abundance.

So many of us are now living our lives by these guiding lights. Let's give these gifts the chance to fly in every corer of our world.

Festival of Gratitude

2009-08-26T09:15:00.000+01:00

I was watching one of the Star Trek spin-offs on Sunday and the story revolved around one of the alien culture’s Festival of Gratitude.

This struck me as a beautiful idea (and obviously the story writers and producers thought so too since they portrayed it wonderfully!) The emphasis was on writing down the things which weren’t going right for you in your life and then burning the paper in the Fire of Renewal. Having released these problems, you were then free to enjoy with Gratitude the rest of the Festival.

It didn’t surprise me that I happened to catch this particular episode since for most of last week I have been focusing on my own Gratitude and Appreciation and in true Law of Attraction reality, I got a reflection of what I was concentrating my thoughts and emotions on. The reason I was thinking about Gratitude was that I had realised with shame all the times I had accepted wonderful manifests from the Universe and practically taken them for granted.

My gorgeous flat was the second one I looked at and suits me exactly and while I do enjoy it, I’ve spent most of the last year niggling about the things which I don’t like about it. When I took a month off last year to write in Spain I booked sight unseen into a great, family run hotel with a magical view of the Mediterranean and a perfect writing desk and chair next to the tiny balcony. And I moaned about this and that and just in passing thanked the Universe for giving me a wonderful experience.

Knowing that shame and guilt are unproductive emotions which lower our vibrations, I decided to drift back in memory through my life and be present at all the times the Universe has given me gifts which at least matched and most times exceeded my expectations. I decided I would feel Gratitude and Appreciation retrospectively and savour again the magical times.

I had a busy week! The more things and events I remembered, the more came to my attention. There hasn’t been one day in my life (and I’m 55 years old) when the Universe hasn’t showered me with gifts. Gifts of laughter and love and beauty and joy. Gifts of positive outcomes, even in the toughest of situations, gifts of great friends, lovely homes, books, art, music, nature, wild winds and soft candlelight.

So in a way I’ve been having my own Festival of Gratitude these last few days because as I’ve gone back in time and thanked the Universe with Appreciation and Gratitude for all its gifts so freely given, more and more incredible gifts are pouring into my life.

Doesn’t that deserve a Festival?

xx Susan

Life is Good

2009-08-19T14:07:00.004+01:00

Today, I went for a walk. We are blessed in Edinburgh to have an long ago extinct volcano that rises up in the middle of the city.

At this time of year it is carpeted with wild flowers, butterflies and sky larks singing their hearts out. It is used all year round by the cities residents and visitors alike...not surprising considering the views that are to be had!

Today, I found a quiet spot off the path and lay back, the wiry grass molding to my back, supporting me, talk about being the arms of mother nature. I let the wind caress me, the scents fill me and the sky larks grace me with their songs. I found that as my body relaxed and dreamed, so did my mind.

I dreamt of all the beautiful things that have happened to me in my life, of all the amazing places & people I have encountered. I dreamt of what more I could have and how this life was fully and uniquely my own.

As I lay with the small, blue hare bells dancing in the breeze; each a little segment of sky and the deep, deep breathing of the land beneath me I felt so much apart of this earth. As my heart responds to these beauties the land sighs and shows me more of her bounty.

I came back into my town house refreshed and able to delight in the golden sandstone of the building, admire my neighbours windows the way they reflect the light, able to embrace the life that is the city.

As I sat at my desk I saw that a friend on Facebook had posted this status 'Don't count the minutes but make the moments MAGICAL.' I smiled in recognition...indeed Life is Good.

Susan's Stumble

2009-08-14T10:51:00.003+01:00

Since we're still in the place of Abundance and Joy this week, I'd like to share my moment of non-manifesting - just as a lesson to myself!

I've been writing a story in which a feather holds a central place. It is in fact an Angel feather and the other evening I wrote the first words about it. Then I curled up to sleep happy with the work. Next day my oldest granddaughter handed me a pristine large white feather. It was a wonderful talisman and affirmation of my story.

So what did I do? Well I was aware and appreciative enough to thank her and I enjoyed it for a few moments, then unceremoniously shoved it into my briefcase where it languished uncared for for the next few days.

Not only that but I also decided in my greater wisdom that the story was no good after all so I abandoned it and started another one. Thanks Universe - but no thanks!

It wasn't until I found the feather again yesterday that I unravelled the sequence and realised just what I'd done. I had to use Theta Healing to clear the subsequent belief that I only get one chance at manifesting and I also had to lift the deep regret I felt - regret just clutters up our energy! It was a sad but excellent lesson and boy am I focusing properly on gratitude and listening to the signals and messages from the Universe!

Love is you Being You

While Emma and I were promoting and speaking to people about our Abundance and Joy Week, I was delighted and honoured by the responses from everyone.

A lovely Brazilian woman said ‘Ah Abundance and Joy!’ in a voice redolent of hot summers and joyful living. An elderly man bent and chucked my granddaughter under the chin. ‘Joy is you,’ he told her. A stern businessman’s face wreathed in smiles and said he’d dance his way to 7th Space to join in! A harassed mother stopped still for a moment and I watched her shoulders loosen as she let go the stress. ‘Oh yes!’ she said.

It seems that we’re willing to let our world stop for a moment and let the vibration of these two states take us over. We all have examples of our own abundance and joy and really they aren’t so far below the surface as we sometimes fear.

Reflection

2009-08-12T12:42:00.001+01:00

7th Space Abundance and Joy Week came to a close at midnight yesterday and today Emma and I are evaluating its success. It has taught us both a lot, given new energy to our Workshops and brought us many wonderful new clients to work with.

One of the overwhelming aspects is that nearly everyone has come to us with the same desire - the desire to connect.

The desire to connect with themselves as they truly are, to connect with the Universe and the flow of Abundance, to heal and connect to the Joy they know in their heart is their natural birthright.

Too often life seems a battleground - with ourselves, with our relationships, with our bodies, with our work, with the tax man, with … we can all write this script! If we’re not living in the past, we’re trying to project ourselves into the future. Somewhere inside we know the only reality is the present but it seems so hard to stay there.

To stay in the present, in the space where Abundance and Joy live, is scary. Why? Most of us have no idea! After all why would we choose to hang on to pain, stay in the darkness, continue to be unforgiving of our loved ones and ourselves? It doesn’t make sense does it?

But the reality is - that Abundance and Joy is our reality. It’s who we are, it’s what the Universe is - all the time, every second. And every moment of this special week for us has been a joy!

Abundance and Joy

2009-08-09T10:18:00.000+01:00

Abundance and joy. Next to love can there be two more wonderful words? Joy - even saying it can have the feeling of bubbles fizzing in your blood. It’s sunshine and running free, it’s a hug from your grandchild, it’s the tug of a kite string rising in the wind, it’s the first dive in a crystal clear sea, it’s seeing a summer dawn flood over the horizon, it’s a letter from a loved one, it’s a healthy body, it’s smelling a rose, it’s reaching a goal, it’s dancing under the stars, it’s the first step in pristine snow, it’s a song from your childhood, it’s a balloon ride above the Australian desert, it’s the reality of a dream.

Joy is action - feeling yourself to be unstoppable, free, all that you can be. It is a moment when you transcend everything to experience incandescent life.

Abundance is being - it is the gift of the universe, it is who you are, it is gratitude and wonder.

Abundance is limitless. It’s apple blossom tumbling in the wind, it’s the silver flicker of fish shoals, it’s constellation upon constellation, it’s dew flashing rainbows in the morning, it’s snow flakes shaking down from a winter sky, it’s the endless pattern of flames in a log fire, it’s the myriad cells in our body giving us life, it’s the number of heartbeats in a lifetime, it’s droplets of water in a fountain, it’s the ruby seeds in a pomegranate, it’s all the smiles in the world.

Our tag line for 7th Space is ‘Live life with abundance and joy.’ We believe that one way to do this is through healing and self-empowerment. And this week particularly we are dedicating everything we offer to Abundance and Joy. Come and join us!

Homer and Abundance and Joy

2009-08-08T14:09:00.002+01:00

It’s Saturday morning and I’m starting the day in a time honoured tradition of watching TV cartoons. Specifically the Simpsons which I love and adore!

This particular one is the usual mix of Homer having some grand scheme, it failing in spectacular fashion and then the final reel where the family gather round with love and support - or something like that!

At the moment he’s trudging through the snow saying ‘I can’t make it. Yes you can. No I can’t. Oh shut up. No you shut up. Oh what’s the point. It’s hopeless. I can’t make it.’
(It’s much funnier when you see it!). Anyway, it sounds pretty much what goes through any of our heads when we’re going for a goal or stuck in a situation we don’t want.

But of course, in spite of the bumbling antics Homer does emerge with a kind of victory. What does Homer love - Marge, Duff beer, his kids, being an American, and many other random things which catch his attention! And somehow he manages to hold onto these, they bring him joy and he’s always in search of more things to bring him joy. And he always gets them - maybe not in the form he imagined but abundance and joy follow him - and we get to see ourselves reflected in him and laugh at our own bumbling!

So really there are many role models for us - we just have to be open to them :)

Resistance is Futile!

2009-08-07T11:13:00.003+01:00

I was watching one of my granddaughters have a hissy fit yesterday. And once it was over, we were trying to bring her round - make her smile and move on. Every time she relaxed enough to start smiling or laughing at our antics, she would immediately scowl to block the good feeling. Even at her age she was hanging on to the bad feeling. Of course eventually she surrendered to the irresistible tide and giggled and the rest of the morning went well for her.

It made me remember all the times I’ve done exactly the same thing. When I’ve returned to the painful thought over and over again like nagging at a sore tooth. When pride or righteousness has kept me thinking resentful thoughts. When it seems easier to stay stuck in a bad place because at least I know it. Stepping into the light seems such an effort sometimes!

What hooey! Being action driven beings we seem to think that joy and abundance are states we have to work hard to achieve. That we are going to have to do some complicated dance to get them to come to us. Sometimes we think we have to bribe them by becoming spiritual, good and super-human! Most of the time we make excuses to keep them at bay - ‘it’s not right to be happy when there is so much pain in the world’ or ‘we’re here to learn lessons the hard way, not to have fun’ or ‘no one I know is joyful and abundant so it doesn’t exist’.

As Abraham Hicks, The Secret and every spiritual leader is always telling us - joy and abundance are our birthright. They are already who and what every single human is. All we have to do is relax and notice something around us, something beautiful, uplighting, precious and inspiring. And don’t think that these moments don’t exist in every life. Some times the ‘hardest’ lives are the most inspiring, beautiful and precious. Ask any mother of a challenged child.

And each moment joy and abundance are experienced, it pushes the things you don’t want in your life further out of your consciousness. And the less focus you have towards the bad things in your life, the more room there is for joy and abundance to express itself. And the more you notice the things and people in your life which make you feel joyful and abundant, the more you will notice these emotions and experiences becoming your default setting. And then…

You find yourself giggling at your own resistance. You discover a new spring in your step as you walk down the road, noticing all the beautiful, funny, ingenious, inventive things spread out just for your enjoyment. Your eyes begin to sparkle in anticipation at the joyful and abundant experiences which you haven’t experienced yet but which are flooding your way. The world takes on a bright, shining quality when you see it through the true sight of your inner joyfulness and abundance.

These wondrous feelings become unstoppable, love of life blossoms in your heart and in your actions. You connect to the great dance of creation.

And all because you allowed a feeling space to grow.

'If'

2009-08-01T09:04:00.000+01:00

I have a beautiful calligraphy scroll on my wall which was penned by my uncle. I never knew him but his choice of poem perhaps says a lot about him. The poem is Rudyard Kipling’s ‘If’.

Over the past decades this poem has become unfashionable and rejected by many as the hangover from a world of colonialism and jingoism. Feminists loathe it for its seemingly masculine viewpoint and for the last few words - ‘and, which is more, you’ll be a Man, my son.’

But I think it bears reading again. It speaks of self-trust and fortitude. It warns against being too of the world and losing your centre. It places much emphasis on self-reliance but not isolation - of being there for others. It sows the seeds of the virtue of never giving up, of holding on to the strength and guts which make we humans so magnificent.

It encourages vision and kindliness. It shows how we can walk through the world with our heads high, paying our dues along the way but not being seduced or battered down by false glamours of power and position.

In this poem I think there speaks the truths which many of us today are striving for, are actively modelling our lives around - be we men or women!

IF

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired of waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise.
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to a make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with torn-out tools.
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”.
If you can walk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - not lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And - which is more - you’ll be a Man, my son.

Rudyard Kipling

The Butterfly Inside

2009-07-31T10:01:00.000+01:00

There is the most glorious Buddlea bush in my garden. Dark mauve flowers tumble down it, scenting the air with honey. The local butterflies flock to it and I can spend hours watching this ‘feeding’ station. Buddlea is often called the Butterfly Bush. It’s astonishing to see the butterflies drinking the nectar until they are almost reeling with drunkenness.

Many of us aspire to be butterflies, to break out of our caterpillar-lives into the light. But on this journey we often forget to visit the feeding stations. We get caught up and focused on the goals and forget to renew and sustain ourselves with wonderful experiences.

Taking time out to watch the birds in our gardens, to sit by cool, fresh water, to dance in the moonlight if that what makes us feel alive, to play with our children, stroke the arm of our loved one, paint, draw, make music, go to an art gallery - whatever feeds us!

This is what will transform us. Beauty and love and joy and laughter. Every hour, dedicate 5 minutes to lifting yourself out of the worries and cares and experience already being the butterfly you long to be.

Your Life is Right NOW!

2009-07-29T10:24:00.002+01:00

Your life is right now!

It's not later!

It's not in that time of retirement.

It's not when the lover gets here.

It's not when you've moved into the new house.

It's not when you get the better job.

Your life is right now.

It will always be right now.

You might as well decide to start enjoying your life right now, because it's not ever going to get better than right now--until it gets better right now!

I am a happy person :o)

2009-07-26T23:04:00.000+01:00

I'm going to be happy. I'm going to skip. I'm going to be glad. I'm going to smile a lot. I'm going to be easy. I'm going to count my blessings. I'm going to look for reasons to feel good. I'm going to dig up positive things from the past. I'm going to look for positive things where I stand. I'm going to look for positive things in the future. It is my natural state to be a happy person. It's natural for me to love and to laugh. This is what is most natural for me. I am a happy person!

Vision Board

2009-07-26T16:00:00.005+01:00

I have created a vision board. I thought it might be fun to share it with you...

I find that there are alot of mis-conceptions about abundance & manifesting. One of those is that you can't be spiritual if you 'want' money or things...somehow this implies you are operating on a lesser vibration. Piffle, I say!

Does it make me less spiritual and loving a being if I desire money? Of course not! By having money I can then set up charities and am in a position to offer free healings & workshops, by worrying less about my own troubles I am able to assist others. Is living to my true potential so 'bad'?

"How would I feel if, when I die, God/Creator/Source/ (whatever suits) asks me how did you enjoy my gift of life? And I reply well I do not make much out of it. I always had the feeling I was not worthy to do something truly great with my life'
Lets presume that your God is the Greek God, Zeus. At such a response, Zeus would erupt in fury, expressed with thunder, lightning and cloud bursts. He would yell: "What! You dare doubt one of my brilliant creations- namely you!?? You have the audacity to openly say that I created something of no value!" (Barbel Moh)

Luckily, God proably sees the matter differently...without judgement. But many of the restraints that we apply are based on societal and dogmatic beliefs.

Anyway on to the vision board :o) (apologies for horrible photos)

So this one has some of my passions; horse riding, beautiful animals and riding fills me with such joy. Not only are you usually out in nature but you have a magnificent beast to guide you and teach the meaning of freedom and true power.

Fresh flowers...the perfume, the colours...the never ending subtleties.

Landrover...oh how un-green of me! But simple to run...simple to fix..joy!

Cocktail glasses? Best piccie I could find for socialising...having/meeting & being with interesting, fun people...

Passport..travel is a must..feeds my soul & allows me to experience other cultures and indulge my fascination of people watching.

Emerald necklace... hell, just goes with my eyes :o)

OK, big house & land. Ability to turn my house into a creative haven...with studios & craftsmanship to enjoy and for others to open out their creativity. And to entertain...see above :o) Land to grow my own fruits & veg. To lie under the stars anytime I want & to see the seasons..I mean really see...every leaf, to smell the soil, and stroke the softest rose petals...

Wine cellar...art in a bottle.

Beautiful bedding-bliss.

Beautiful stationary to conceal my love in an envelope :o)

Cat? Just cat.

Art; life blood for me.

Freediving...slip into another world and deeply spiritual.

Library...see above.

The picture of the girl? 'Happy Days are Yours' Kinda sums it up, don't you think?

This is only a portion...not sure I'm able to describe the other things as they are often just an emotion or a hint of what I need. I want a place to express and people to share my (rather stifled at present) capacity to love. I want to create a home where people can stay & explore passions; food, art animals...or where ever they are lead.

Here are some of things I do now...and want more of:

Scuba diving, reading, drinking afternoon cocktails, dressing up, travelling, day dreaming, dancing to 30's jazz in my kitchen, eating great food in amazing locations, exploring the world, sitting in churches, painting, making people laugh, flirting, wearing red shoes....

For me spirituality is about experiencing, discovering, and feeling the emotion deep in your heart, your soul and every now & then you are very, very lucky you get the chance to dance with another soul.

What do you want?

Say it to yourself...

2009-07-24T16:46:00.001+01:00

Say it to yourself....

"I am a wonderful Being. There is nothing that I cannot achieve. The world addresses itself to me always in positive ways. Everything always works out magnificently for me. I live a charmed life. Things are supposed to and always do, go well for me.
Seas part for me. I have the resources of the Universe at my disposal. I live in an environment where I am inspired to a new thought. And as soon as I give birth to it, things align in order to bring me the actualization or the manifestation of it.
I am an extension of Source Energy. I am God in a physical body and I am good. And because I am good, good things come to me. And if I am sick it is temporary because it is natural that I be well. And if I am not abundant of things that are important to me, it is temporary because it is natural that I be abundant. And there is nothing that I am supposed to do, but all kinds of things that I want to do...

Rain Beauty

2009-07-24T09:20:00.000+01:00

We've had a lot of rain in Edinburgh the last month or so.

Fine drizzle that mists the air so buildings loom out like images from the past. Tropical rain which bounces joyously off the pavement, flooding down the High Street in a torrent. Cold rain which nags and soaks and makes you long to be indoors by an unseasonal fire.

Silver rain promising rainbows and a sweet freshness afterward. Titanic rain with jagged bolts of light and clamorous crashings of sound. Swift rain in the early morning, over while the world sleeps leaving jewels scattered on every blade and leaf.

And while we scurry about under our umbrellas, dodging puddles or cursing the smearing wetness on our car windscreens, we long for sunshine and ignore the beauty pouring down on us!

Reiki and Children

2009-07-23T10:19:00.001+01:00

I'm often asked as a Reiki teacher if it's ok to attune children to Reiki.

My response is always an enthusiastic yes! Children take to Reiki like ducks to water - even very young ones. Children have a great need and impulse to heal and attuning them to Reiki helps them be able to channel this healing energy through them instead of drawing the energy solely from themselves. My youngest granddaughter has been doing this and has been exhausting herself on a physical and energetic level.

Later this week I will ask for her Level 1 attunement to rectify this. She will then, even though she may not understand the principles, channel Reiki energy whenever she has the impulse to heal.

Older children love the concept of sending - rainbows, unicorns, angels - or whatever image most resonates with them. The Reiki energy grounds and heals them and encourages the natural loving impulses they have. In a world that can sometimes be harsh for children, this is a precious gift.

Morning at The Window

2009-07-23T09:39:00.000+01:00

They are rattling breakfast plates in basement kitchens,
And along the trampled edges of the street
I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids
Sprouting despondently at area gates.

The brown waves of fog toss up to me
Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,
And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts
An aimless smile that hovers in the air
And vanishes along the level of the roofs.

T.S Eliot

Solar Eclipse

2009-07-22T11:02:00.002+01:00

Today there was a total Solar Eclipse and although it wasn't visible in Edinburgh (being in the early hours of this morning), it is amazing how it has affected the energy around us.

All morning there has been a weird sense of being off-kilter, almost a sense of something waiting to happen. Given that it is also thundery and raining here and I'm feeling decidedly jaded energetically!

Look at the astrological predictions in the Sunday papers for this week and again there are many indications of the far reaching influences this energy has on all the sun signs!

So basically I'm feeling the energetic equivalent of a hangover - so I guess I'll just go with the flow and treat myself to some champagne when I get home tonight.

2009-07-21T16:26:00.000+01:00

Wonderful Theta!

2009-07-18T13:56:00.001+01:00

I’ve just had the most amazing consultation with a client. As any Theta Healing practitioner will tell you, when you are in Theta brainwave, you see and experience incredible things. Because you are literally tapping into the quantum field, energy flows between you, the client and Creator and you experience magnificent colours, sounds and sensations.

Often our human brain has to ‘interpret’ the energy as pictures so we can understand and relay the information to the client in a way that has meaning for them. I’ve noticed that the ‘pictures’ are also tailored to the practitioner. Emma tends to see different images from me.

Of course, it’s impossible to describe the true wonder of the whole Theta experience (sorry about that!) but this morning I was reminded of my favourite line from the movie - Blade Runner: “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe...like C-beams glittering in the darkness at the Tannhauser Gate, attack ships off the shoulder of Orion. All of them lost like tears in the rain.”

It’s just one of the reasons I love being a Theta Healing practitioner!!

Lessons from our 30 Day Manifest

2009-07-16T08:47:00.000+01:00

Today is the final day of Emma and I’s month-long manifest. It has been at times a challenging experience and we have both learned such a lot!

Here are some of my lessons:

The notepad was too small! I found I was limiting myself to what would fit in the page and cutting myself off from the flow I really wanted to manifest.

On a similar note, I realised I was asking only for things which I thought had a chance of coming to me - I wasn’t allowing my imagination to take flight.

Almost from day one I found I often didn’t know what I wanted. How can you manifest something when you don’t know, or aren’t admitting, that you want it?

As the days progressed, so did the fear. Fear that things wouldn’t manifest, fear that they would! Fear I was doing it ‘wrong’. Fear that I didn’t deserve any of it anyway.

Sometimes the lesson was - you get what you ask for. I manifested a parking ticket one memorable morning. And on another occasion I manifested the 3 clients I’d asked for - except I’d forgotten to ask for them to be paying clients - the clients were friends who I was happy to work with free of charge, but I also learnt the lesson!

The truly useful aspect of the exercise for us both was that each day, with each manifest we were able to use Theta Healing on ourselves to get to the root of the issues which were preventing our successful manifest.

The beliefs we tested for were varied and sometimes bizarre! Some of mine were:

I’m a bad girl and don’t deserve anything
Money is bad
Someone will take away all my things if I have them
Nobody wants me to be rich
I have to make everybody happy
It is wrong to have material possessions

And quite a few others which were totally unexpected. Once these beliefs were changed using Theta techniques, I noticed a big improvement in the flow and speed of my manifesting. I’m not sure how successful it would have been if I hadn’t been able to clear and identify these unconscious beliefs.

So all in all it’s been a great exercise. And did all my manifests appear?

I’d say about 70% of them. Most of the small things did - possibly because I believed more strongly that they would. And my feeling is that in my on-going manifesting, I need to aim for the moon - get lots of passion and fun behind the manifest and not settle for something just because it seems possible to attain.

I feel very confident now about my manifesting abilities. Having cleared away many of the beliefs and fears which were blocking me and having faced some of the excuses I was putting in my way, I can honestly say that each day the flow of abundance gets stronger.

7th Space

2009-07-12T14:16:00.001+01:00

We have five senses which feed us the ‘facts’ about the ‘reality’ of our world. For many people these are the boundaries of what is real - ever heard someone say “If I can touch it or see it, then it’s real; anything else is just a fantasy”?

Often too in our busy lives we use our five senses in a very one dimensional way and refuse to allow ourselves the joy of connecting fully to the moment. So here’s a reminder of these five incredible sensory tools:

Taste: sun-warmed blackberries, buttered toast, sparkling champagne

Smell: sausages frying, tea-scented roses, baby’s skin

Hear: wind in the trees, laughter, I love you

Touch: velvet, sea washed pebbles, tree bark

See: glittering raindrops, a hawk soaring, a field of daffodils

Ah, but we also have another sense to rely on - our 6th sense.

Emotions and Feelings: the constant flow of our own and others’ reactions to the world, our barometer to whether we are enjoying life and living to our potential at any given moment.

Imagination and Intuition: the subtle receiving and blossoming of information which is not yet anchored in the purely physical world.

And then we come to 7th Space which informs and influences and makes our lives meaningful:

Serenity: calm, peace, acceptance, certainty, being in the moment

Possibilities: dreams, desires, aspiring, enthusiasm, drive, limitless, potential, abilities

Abundance: expanding, manifesting, joyful, embracing, allowing

Clarity: knowledge, stillness, discernment, questioning

Energy: clear, vibrant, high frequency, connected, healing, free flowing

7th Space is a place of healing and light, brimming with love and joy. It is adventure, discovery a journey for us and for you..into the unknown, yet so safe & guided by the truth in our hearts.

It is about allowing ourselves to ramble over the hills and valleys, testing ourselves with precarious cliffs and wild winds. It is lying in the embrace of fresh spring grass and watching the clouds drift by filled with the pictures of our dreams.

A place of creativity and vitality, crackling with energy and enthusiasm. It is exploring our potential, and being free to express it.

It is self discovery and healing on the deepest level. Helping you to let go of pain, physical, emotional and spiritual.

And above all it is helping you to remember how to live & love unconditionally.

Space Clearing Part 3

2009-07-10T09:40:00.002+01:00

What happens during a Space Clearing consultation?

I energetically and psychically scan the rooms and get an overview of what is happening in each area. It’s rather like looking at an architect’s blueprint. I can see and sense dark spots of stuck energy, areas of turbulent emotion, identify the signatures of geopathic stress and gather information on any entities or historical energy.

Once I have a clear picture I can begin to work using a variety of techniques and Theta Healing to shift and cleanse the negative energy. Theta allows me to bring in the spiritual help of Archangel Michael and the Guardian Angel of the space to cleanse the room at the deepest level and to bring in high vibrational, clear energy which is in complete harmony with the rooms. (Clients are delighted to learn that each home and building has its own Guardian Angel to protect it, just as we do!)

The effects can be so life-enhancing that clients often tell me they don't know how they put up with all the stress for so long!

I’m passionate about the improvement and benefits Space Clearing brings to our daily lives, our relationships and workplaces and our general well-being.

And since I believe in self-empowerment, I also teach Space Clearing techniques in my Clear Your Space Workshops. These are designed to enable you to learn the basic techniques of Space Clearing so you can balance your own home and workplace.

I will:

Explain why clearing old energy is important
Show you how to protect yourself doing this work
Explain the use of tools and techniques
Attune you to a high frequency, cleansing energy
Demonstrate a Space Clearing
Give you a chance to practice the technique

However, an in-depth Space Clearing is best done by a professional who will know how to protect her clients and the room while the cleansing is going on, who ensures that all the unwanted energy is disposed of safely, otherwise it may simply return and who will seal the new energies into the space.

I undertake advanced Space Clearing consultations for businesses and homes within the Edinburgh area. For more information visit www.7thspace.co.uk

Release all Negative Thoughts about Money

2009-07-09T16:55:00.000+01:00

Whenever you are thinking about dollars and feeling good, you're attracting them unto you. Whenever you're thinking about dollars and feeling bad, you are pushing dollars away from you.
What happens with most of you is that you hold 2 columns in your head.
When money comes in, you add it. And when it goes out, you subtract it. You are taking score.
And when you take score you cause a resistance in your vibration and push more dollars away.

When you see dollars coming in, you feel good. When you see money go out, you feel bad. The feeling of decline is a very powerful feeling in your society.
But we're here to tell you that there is NO ENDING TO THE INFLOW OF ABUNDANCE. It is like water ever flowing into your life.

In the morning when you wake up, none of you stand out on your porch frantically breathing in because you are afraid that later in the day there will be a scarcity of air.
You breathe in and you breathe out, and think nothing of it. What we want to get you to understand is that, it is the same thing with dollars.

There is no need to go out and hold your breath in an attempt to hold on to the air increase, if there is a later lack.
You are all MUCH CLOSER to a FINANCIAL FORTUNE RIGHT NOW than you are even willing to dream about, for fear that you will be disappointed if it does not come.

"Good things come to me. While I don't know all the answers now, or even what questions to ask, or even what route it will take. I know that when I get there, the path and easiest route will be clear to me. I know that when I get there, I will be able to figure it out."

And when you do that, when you start each day with that thought, life unfolds as a terrific adventure. Abundance, dollars, relationships, health, everything you are wanting will flow in incredible, wonderful, joy filled ways into your life experience. And you begin to live as you intended before you came in.

What we would do is, before we go to sleep at night we would intend to RELEASE ALL NEGATIVE THOUGHTS we have ever thought ABOUT MONEY.
Negative emotion is your indication from your Inner Being that the action you are considering is not in harmony with your greater intentions. How you feel when you pay your bills is a very good indication about where your balance of thoughts about dollars resides.

When your pocket is empty, everything you see, you want. But if you had the dollars in your pocket, you would notice how little you actually, truly want. Because what you are wanting, is the FEELING of FEELING GOOD.

So all you have to do is find thoughts that make you FEEL GOOD when you think about money, and you will be inundated with it.

Space Clearing Part 2

2009-07-09T10:35:00.001+01:00

Ghosts, Spirits and Other Unwanted Guests

A ghost is a psychic imprint on a building, a bit like a photograph.

A spirit is usually someone who died traumatically or doesn’t realise it’s dead and lingers lost in the building

And entities are often spirits who are refusing to move on and get very proprietorial about the building. They often don’t like things being moved or object to home improvements you may have made.

If you are experiencing:

Feelings of oppression, uneasiness and fear
Unusual or unpleasant smells
Cold patches
Animals or children uneasy in a room
Disturbed sleep

Then you may be sharing your space with a spirit. Edinburgh is a city with a reputation for hauntings, unexplained phenomenon and psychic disturbance and many flats and houses have their otherworldly residents.

Identifying and laying to rest any spirit or entity which is sapping your energy or scaring the living daylights out of you is a job for a professional Space Clearing. It is not something to be tackled on your own.

A Space Clearing consultation will lovingly usher any lingering spirits to their rightful place and ensure that any entities leave and don’t return.

(Tomorrow - What happens during a Space Clearing Consultation)

Space Clearing Part 1

2009-07-08T12:22:00.003+01:00

Space Clearing is vital if we want to live and work in homes and offices which support and nourish us. It clears, transforms and renews the energy imprints in buildings so that we can attract the things and people into our life we truly want.

If you’re feeling tired, edgy, ‘out of sorts’ and depressed for no obvious reason...

If you feel there is ‘something’ around you that scares you...

If your life keeps going wrong and you feel anxious and accident-prone...

If you keep having arguments with the people you live or work with...

Then you may be in need of a Space Clearing.

How often have you walked into a room and felt something wasn’t right?

There may have been an argument an hour ago and the anger and resentment is still lingering for all to feel.

There will certainly be emotional residue left over from previous owners of the room and you feel yourself becoming edgy each time you walk in.

Sometimes there are spirits and entities who regard the room as their property. It’s not pleasant when history is still hanging around.

You may feel headachy and drained because there are geopathic energies fighting with your own.

And if there are computers and other electrical equipment your energy will be depleted.

Imagine all the dust, dirt and cobwebs in the corners of a room if it had never been cleaned! Well if a room has never been Space Cleared that’s how it looks and feels energetically!

Space Clearing works powerfully and safely at the energetic level to clear out the encrusted emotions and residues in the room, cleanse the space thoroughly and bring in a clear, fresh energy which refreshes, supports and enhances your life on every level.

Appreiciation

2009-07-06T16:04:00.005+01:00

I love Edinburgh! It is a city that alternates between the sublime & the ridiculous. I think it rather enjoys this contrast :o)

These Giraffes are local to me & this Puffin was seen swimming in the Firth of Forth this weekend.

And of course, the old town & the famous Castle. The Old town full of beautiful higgledy-piggledy houses and buildings, with some ghosts & historical figures thrown in for good measure.

Here's a wee poem about the One O'clock cannon that sounds from the castle every day....

The One o'Clock Gun

What gars the Embro’ man feel prood?
When a’ is said ad dune
It’s no St Giles or Holyrood
but thon big, noisy gun

He’s staundin there in Princes Street
No makin ony fuss,
But richt at Allan Ramsay’s feet
He’s waitin for the bus

When, wow, he gies an unco sterth
Lowps bait feet aff the grun
And by the duntin o’ his hert
He kens he’s heard the gun

Then as the collieshangie stills,
He hears anither soun’
As doos frae a’ the windo-sills
Flee up and circle roun’

But he pretends he disna care;
He thinks it splendid fun
To launch at ony stranger there
That’s frichtened by the gun.

And as he gangs his couthy way
He feels baith glad and prood
That Embro’s gun bangs aff at one
And soun’s sae monstrous lood!

Douglas Fraser

You Asked for It, It’s Here, Why aren’t You Letting it in? – Abraham Hicks

2009-07-05T11:16:00.003+01:00

Complaining about anything, holds you in the place of refusing to receive the things you’ve been asking for.

Justifying about anything holds you in the place of refusing to let in the very things that you’ve been asking for.

Blaming someone, holds you in the place of refusing to let in the things that you’ve been asking for.

Feeling guilty, feeling angry, it doesn’t matter what you call it, it is a refusal, not a conscious one.

You’re asking; you can’t help but ask.

The Universe is yielding; it must yield.

It’s a big question, folks: why aren’t you letting it in?

Mid-Way 30 Day Manifest

2009-07-01T12:45:00.004+01:00

So here we are approximately at our mid point in the 30 day manifest. How's it going I hear you ask?
Well it's up and down!

The point of this exercise is to make manifesting a habit! To help you listen to your feelings and thoughts and to practise raising the vibration. Getting into the 'good feeling' place that allows you to manifest your desires easily and effectively...without the 'trying' and 'effort' in other words allowing the Universe to provide for you.

But hell! This can be hard going at times :o)

It is easy to approach your morning list with in already pre-judgement state, for example only listing manifests that you think are likely to happen. We can be limited in our thinking at times and this is a perfect example...not using our imaginations! Just because we can't necessarily see how the Universe would provide something doesn't mean it's not possible! So I have been training myself to say 'never mind how I think it will happen just ask'.

Another pitfall that both Susan & I have found (potentially an expensive one for Susan) is that we in some way want 'proof' of the manifesting capability, that the Universe really is listening! Susan managed to manifest a parking ticket...

This happened when she literally had just the passing thought of 'oh! I'll get a ticket'...and then she quickly dismissed this as not positive manifesting. BUT because the strength of the emotion attached to the potential of getting a ticket was so strong...2 secs later she saw the traffic warden writing out a ticket!

So, two things were in force here 1.) that somewhere along the line she had asked the Universe for 'proof' of manifestation and 2.) the dislike of the traffic warden (poor guy :o) and the emotion of 'dealing with authority' attached to the ticket.

OK so she got her 'proof' it works! So she is now manifesting that the ticket be paid for in some other way... effectively turn a not-so-great manifest into something positive. She has 10 day before it needs to be paid...so Universe, lets go!

One of the other challenges is sometimes what to ask for! Sounds crazy but it's true so we started another exercise that helps pin point what it is you actually do want. This is especially useful if you hold beliefs around materialism and money, money is a tough one to manifest as we have so many hang ups about it.

So, what you do is give yourself a virtual £1000 to spend in one day, and then the next day increase to £2000 and then £3000 the following day and so on. You simply spend it...on what ever you fancy...but you must spend the full amount each day...no carrying over ;o)

It really allows you to think about the life you want to lead, the things you want in it and helps pin point how much money you'd be comfortable living with...And also what exactly you want on a materialistic level.

Some of the money beliefs we have are from family, society and cultural influences. I was brought up with beliefs that money flowed in and out of your life pretty freely...sounds good until you realise that meant that you just spent what you had because who's knows when you would have again!
We made the classic abundance trip-up that many people make when you are skint! Not so very bad...but not very abundant thinking!

Spirituality raises some interesting issues about abundance.

For example; I am closer to God, Source if I am poor. Rich people are bad. Money is evil etc.
Not only does this come into play with money but in other areas too. I must suffer to heal/learn/be spiritual. I must trade my sight/knowing/hearing etc for the gifts of healing...and so on. All these mean that we are blocking the Universe and that we are swimming upstream.

"Every time you turn and go with the flow, you thrive a little. And this is the part that we want you to take away more than all other things put together: the moment of relief is when you drop the oars and let the stream turn you. " ~ Abraham Hicks

So watch your thoughts! Keep those good feelings abundant! Most importantly laugh & smile...the more you enjoy life the more it flows, bringing you all the wonderful things that you ask for!

Much love

Queen's Garden Party

2009-06-30T18:50:00.002+01:00

Today the Queen hosted the annual Garden Party in the grounds of the Palace of Holyrood in Edinburgh. It is a chance for her to meet people from all walks of life.

I came past the Palace and up The Canongate and the Royal Mile just as everyone was leaving, so my usual ten minute drive home from 7th Space took an hour.

But I didn’t really mind. It was lovely watching all the beautiful and colourful outfits and hats of the ladies. They looked like an elegant flock of birds. And the men looked just as gorgeous. They were in black suits, full kilt regalia or Armed Forces dress uniforms. Most of them looked proud of the lovely ladies on their arms, too. As I looked back at the magnificent gates, I saw the gold tips of the towers glinting against a stormy sky.

As they walked up the steep Royal Mile I was suddenly transported back in time and could easily imagine the Scots courtiers and officials following Mary Queen of Scots on processional from the Palace to the Castle.

It’s one of the wonderful things about living in Edinburgh - past, present and the future are always hand in hand.

Goodbye Judgement

2009-06-30T10:24:00.002+01:00

I’ve had an interesting morning and it’s only 10am but that’s life in Theta for you! I was getting myself into a twizzle about something and moaning that whenever I am just being myself things go wrong.

I stewed for a bit and then remembered I’m a Theta practitioner so I worked on finding out what was happening with me. The interesting thing with Theta healing is that most times beliefs are changed and sorted in an instant and sometimes it’s like opening up an overstuffed box of stuff. And for me this morning - yup, it was the box.

First of all came the belief that I didn’t trust myself. Then with further digging came out a whole program about judgement - that I keep myself in a cage because I feel the judgement of the whole world if I dare to let the loving, natural, sometimes horrible me out. And of course in there too was the judgements I hold about the ‘shadow’ side of me. And for dessert, my deep belief that by being who I truly am, I’ll harm and hurt, not just my family and loved ones but the whole world. (It’s amazing how often in Theta healing clients believe at a very core level that they are responsible for the whole world.)

Yikes! Naturally I asked for these beliefs to be changed and for me to be taught the feeling of loving myself and others. I was shown an image of myself with constricting rubber bands round me and I felt them ping off and fall away as the beliefs were lifted. I also got the sense that these beliefs - this holding down of ourselves so that we won’t be judged - were being lifted back through my ancestral lines and I asked for them to be cleared in my granddaughters too. (Alora at age 2 just laughed - she is too young to take on these limiting beliefs!) And then I was shown all the people who match my frequency, my vibration crowding round me, laughing and loving and coming into my life.

So I have come into 7th Space with a spring in my step because I can now work at an even deeper understanding of this issue with my clients.

More passions!

2009-06-29T13:28:00.004+01:00

Still on the subject of passions - and being in the present of every moment of life, here is my favourite extract from The Great Lover by Rupert Brooke:

These I have loved...

White plates and cups, clean-gleaming,
Ringed with blue lines: and feathery, faery-dust;
Wet roofs, beneath the lamp-light; the strong crust
Of friendly bread; and many-tasting food;
Rainbows; and the blue bitter smoke of wood;
And radiant raindrops couching in cool flowers;
And flowers themselves, that sway through sunny hours,
Dreaming of moths that drink them under the moon;
Then, the cool kindliness of sheets, that soon
Smooth away trouble; and the rough male kiss
Of blankets; grainy wood; live hair that is
Shining and free; blue-massing clouds; the keen
Unpassioned beauty of a great machine;
The benison of hot water; furs to touch;
The good smell of old clothes; and other such-
The comfortable smell of friendly fingers
Hair's fragrance, and the musty reek that lingers
About dead leaves and last year's ferns...

Few have said it better!

What are your Passions?

2009-06-28T19:21:00.006+01:00

I thought I'd share with you some of my passions. I love horses..as a girl was totally obsessed covering my bedroom walls in posters & riding whenever I could. Now, I don't get much opportunity but am planning on getting my girls riding...for their own benefit, obviously :P

I am also crazy about scuba diving, having learnt in Lake Malawi and dived in warm climes I have to admit that I am a fair weather, warm water diver! I am very keen on getting into Freediving...always like a challenge. Again this is something I am not doing alot of at the moment but living in chilly Scotland with the less than appealing North Sea on my doorstep, can you blame me?

I am an avid reader, mainly non-fiction (although anything goes!) and the mantra of 'you can never have enough books' is one you'd hear me repeat regularly :o) Books are a window into other worlds, experiences and a mass of knowledge..they kept me sane when I was growing up and allowed me to grow and learn in a way school was never going to do.

I have lots & lots of passions. They keep me alive, always experiencing and striving to open myself out to see as much of the world and what it has to offer.

What are your passions? What fires you up and makes you feel full and satisfied?

30 Day Manifest

2009-06-21T12:50:00.001+01:00

Susan & I are doing a 30 day manifest.
Basically it works by writing down any thing that you'd like to manifest that day & then allowing the universe to provide for you! This is about learning to become a fantastic manifester, really applying the Law of Attraction seeing it work for you!

We'd be delighted if you'd all join us in the exercise. So, get a nice shiny note book (for your stationary addicts out there this should be music to your ears) and get writing a list. Here is an example of my day 3 manifest list:

1. £4000
2. Perfect cup of coffee
3. Easy time with the girls (they have been little XYZ's at the moment :o))
4. Good networking contacts.
5. House tidier.
6. To get away in August.

See the things that you want to attract.
Sit down and spend a few minutes doing absolutely nothing but thinking about having what you want and how wonderful that feels. Before you start, however, you need to be happy. If you think about what you want with negative emotion, you will push it away. So feeling really happy at least once a day helps create the right energy to manifest successfully!

But once you have seen yourself with the things you want to manifest, almost let them go! The less you dwell on them the less likely you will try to second guess how the universe will provide them for you.

Did I get these things? I hear you ask!
Well, yes but not in the way you or I would've guessed!

1. The £4000, this is an example of where it helps to be specific. I meant £4000 cash but didn't ask for that so I got an advertising campaign that is worth £4000!

2. The coffee shop I frequent is on the way to my daughter's school, as I was passing the owner popped out & asked if I'd like a free latte as they had made a mistake with an order, since I am a regular customer he thought he'd ask! And it was perfect!

3. The girls were a delight later that day, due to them finding that building tents with bed sheets & stacks of books, is the best thing ever!

4. I made 23 new Facebook & LinkedIn contacts, already they are proving to be amazing resources and some are even clients now! Thank you guys X

5. After playing quietly the girls tidied the bedrooms & even folded their clothes (still in shock)

6. And was offered the use of 2 places in August that would mean I could easily get away.

You see it works in mysterious ways!!

Of course, there have been days where I'm not manifesting. But I will be interested if these thing materialise by the time the 30 days is up.

OK now I appreciate that I am making it sound so easy...well it is! But we all have blocks and doubts & hell, it's tough when you have bills knocking on your door!

And this is where Susan & I have a sneaky advantage by using Theta Healing we can shift blocks and get ourselves over the manifesting hurdles.

So, what we'd like to offer you here is a mini session with one of us to help you kick start your manifesting. Distance is no problem, as the magic of the Internet saves the day again! And we can easily arrange a time to suit anyone in a different time zone. You can choose to work on your general issues surrounding abundance and manifesting or you can choose to manifest a particular thing :o) (Incidentally, you can skip the mini session & have a full session (90mins) to really tackle the deeper issues that might be holding you back.)

This 15 min session is totally free & will hopefully give you a taste of Theta & of how fantastic manifesting is!

Drop us an email: 7th@7thspace.co.uk

Join Skype (free & simple to use) and add us to your contacts skype: emma7thspace or susan7thspace

We'd love to hear from you, regardless of whether you want a session or not. Tell us about your successes!!! And discuss any difficulties you may experience,we are always happy to offer advice and love pondering the whys & wherefores :o)

Much love & look forward to chatting soon XXX

As each day comes to us refreshed and anew, so does my gratitude renew itself daily. The breaking of the sun over the horizon is my grateful heart dawning upon a blessed world.

Coffee and Manifesting

2009-06-21T08:49:00.000+01:00

I’d like to point out that I don’t spend my entire life drinking coffee! But I do like to have a ritual of a perfect pot of coffee in the morning. And I’m afraid that the emphasis is on the perfect. I have been known to make grown men cry as I fuss about getting the milk to the perfect temperature, the coffee brewed just right and as for the cup and saucer - no mugs allowed here. My friends laugh (most of the time) about it and dread the coffee-making moment in the day.

But today I realised that it isn’t a bad ritual to apply to the art of manifesting what you want. The more specific the request you ‘send’ in, the closer the manifest will be to your liking.

After all, why settle for good when you can have great?

Most Profound Question

2009-06-20T11:51:00.000+01:00

Winds

2009-06-20T09:11:00.000+01:00

It’s been windy for most of the week here in Edinburgh. I spent a lot of my childhood growing up in the North East of Scotland. Anyone who knows Aberdeenshire will know that one of the constants there is the wind. It blows almost all the time!

I was something of a wild child (no, not sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll!). I mean that I had to be outside all day, every day. Fortunately I had a Mum and Dad who understood me and (in those more care-free days) would let me spend hours out on the moors and the sea cliffs nearby. I would return home with wind-tangled hair and eyes full of the wonders of the outdoors.

For me the wind was a presence. I loved it like I did the sea. Sometimes I would stand on the harbour pier, getting buffeted and scoured through to my bones. Other times I would lie in some fragrant hollow of heather and harebells and listen to the sky larks overhead while the wind breathed warm and soothing on me.

Eventually I moved to other places and although I was often glad that the climate was milder and less wind-driven, I think I always miss the winds.

I love the way the light is changed all the time by the wind scudding the clouds. I love the way leaves sparkle and glitter as the winds tear at them. I love the way a field of barley will look like the waves of the sea as the wind brushes across it. I love the clean smell and sense of wild spaces.

The winds really are the messengers the ancients taught about. They tell us about the places they’ve come from - from pristine Northern wastes to the hot dry Sahara. Swallows get blown in on them in spring and geese battle the headwinds in autumn.

How exciting is that!

The Secret

2009-06-19T08:41:00.000+01:00

I watched The Secret again last night. For those of you who haven’t seen it or read the book, The Secret is - The Law of Attraction. How it works and how it can transform your life.

But watching and hearing about this wonderful secret - how we live in a reality which we create ourselves - with our thoughts and beliefs and desires, reminded me how difficult it can be to get out of our own way.

By that I mean that we may consciously have positive thoughts about what we want and who we want to be, and we may carefully follow the simple Law of Attraction which is: like vibrations attract like vibrations - so if we are focusing on joy and love and gratitude, then we attract into our lives things, experiences and people which give us even more joy, love and gratitude. But…

Still our lives don’t change significantly. And all too often we beat ourselves up, thinking we’re the stupid ones because we can’t get it to work.

Sound familiar? Yes, me too!

But here’s an interesting idea - what if all the beliefs and thoughts we have about ourselves, and about ‘reality’ aren’t actually true? What if they are only that - beliefs. Beliefs come into being through what we perceive are our experiences so if we have different experiences we can have different beliefs, right? And most of us who have worked with the Law of Attraction have done a fair amount of work changing our conscious beliefs and thoughts to bring us the experiences we want.

Still with me? But this is where the hiccup comes in. 90% of our beliefs are unconscious. We don’t even realise we have them! So we can do all the positive affirmations we want but they are only ever going to bring us limited success.

So the obvious answer is to find a way to identify and change these unconscious beliefs which are blocking us. When these beliefs are lifted from you, the Flow of Abundance becomes an unstoppable river of everything you have ever wanted - your soul-mate, the perfect house, your dream job, a radiant physical body, and many other desires and longings. There is simply nothing to get in your way, you are effortlessly in alignment with the Law of Attraction.

That is why Theta Healing sessions, Emma’s Soul Guidance and the Workshops we hold here at 7th Space are so powerful and effective. They each offer radical ways to identify and change beliefs and programs you are holding at your sub-conscious level. And once these new life-enhancing beliefs have been given to you, you are also taught what it feels like to be this new person living your daily life and being free to allow the Law of Attraction to enchant your life.

Our Power Animals

2009-06-18T10:22:00.000+01:00

I was talking to my power animal this morning. (A few years ago, I never would have thought I’d be saying those words!)

I’ve been wanting to introduce power animals into the Live Out Loud! Workshop. This workshop is all about owning your own power - getting rid of ‘I should do this and I have to do that’ and particularly freeing ourselves from the feelings of guilt and selfishness which rear their heads whenever we think about doing anything just for ourselves. It is about uncovering our authenticity.

And that’s where power animals can keep us on track and add such sparkle and wisdom to our lives. Power animals, if you invite them to do so, have the ability to awaken within you the deep authenticity they possess themselves. They live without pretense and they can remind you how to keep this genuine state within yourself.

Most of us long to re-connect with nature. We make gardens and have pets and walk in the countryside. We know on a deep level that being grounded in the natural world, being part of the rhythms and cycles is necessary for our well-being. And acknowledging your power animal is a wonderful way to keep this connection alive and with you all the time. (One of my granddaughters has a hippopotamus for a power animal and sometimes it’s a struggle to get it to fit into the sitting room…!)

I know how my Jaguar has enriched my life. She reminds me that life is for living and that there is always time to swim and play. She steadies me when I am fearful of trying something new, letting me know that it’s ok to feel nervous but that I mustn’t let that stop me. I feel her padded feet moving cautiously until she has sussed out the terrain and once she’s confident, she moves into the arena with power, awareness and balance.

Theta healing is so effective at teaching us how to understand and be ourselves in a place of deep truth. But sometimes it’s nice to have a companion on the journey!

Honey Bees

2009-06-17T08:19:00.001+01:00

I've always been fascinated by bees and so like many people I am saddened and very concerned about the declining world populations of Honey Bees - such bad news for us and the planet!

Bee shamanism is thought to be one of the oldest forms of shamanism. Bee teaches us to honour the feminine, the goddess, from whom all life is born; and about community and re-birth.

As bee moves from flower to flower, she teaches us to drink from all experiences and allow those experiences to transform us into something greater and more potent - our true selves.

Community

2009-06-16T12:46:00.003+01:00

After singing the praises of Orange Blossom last week, I've just found a bush of my own in the front garden. I managed to restrain myself and only gather a few sprigs to put on my table while I had coffee this morning.

And while I was enjoying my breakfast, I was able to enjoy the community spirit of living in a building of flats. Several tenants were taking advantage of the sunshine to hang out washing and we got chatting.

People accuse city living of being insular and alienating. Today I got invited to a wine evening, had an offer to borrow a bike and was able to offer to give one of my neighbours a Reiki session to help her sciatica.

How's that for community - as always...life is what you make it!

Rampage of Invincibility (transcript)

2009-06-15T10:46:00.002+01:00

Abraham:
We’re going to start where you are and build you into the vibration that is necessary for you to be or do or have anything that you want.

“I am beginning to understand that I am more than I see here in this physical body. I acknowledge that there is a larger part of me - a Source Energy part of me - that is truly the essence of who I am.

And I accept that a part of that consciousness is now flowing in this physical body and so there is a sort of duality going on within me where I have this stable beginning and becoming and then there is the part of me that is focused here in this physical body and I understand with clarity the value of the two parts of that which I am.

I can feel the Eternalness of who I really am and I can feel the specifics of who I am in this human form on this Leading-Edge time/space platform and I am beginning to feel appreciation for the contrast that surrounds me that once I condemned, now I embrace because I can feel that the contrast is inspiring yet another new idea from me.

And I remember feeling a new idea being born within me and hating the birthing of it, because it was an idea that I did not believe and, therefore, it brought me pain. But now I’m experiencing the thrill of giving birth to ideas and even though I don’t know how or when it will come about, I do have faith or belief in the Laws of the Universe and I am knowing that I am a Creator who, having given birth to this idea, will be given all of the advantages of the resources of Source in order to accomplish it.

So while I stand in this place of wanting something that I have no way of figuring out how it’s going to be, I am feeling soothed in the awareness of it. No, more than soothed. I not only feel soothed about having given birth to an idea of something that I want, I’m feeling enlivened by it because the larger part of me knows unequivocally that I am the Creator of my own experience and that larger part of me is not only looking at it and agreeing with it, but has become the vibrational equivalent of it. In fact, the larger part of me has already become what I’m asking for and so now it’s only a matter of the rest of me catching up with it. And now that I know what I know, I don’t think this is going to be too much trouble.

When I move in the direction of catching up with it, I feel better. And when I move in opposition of catching up with it, I feel worse. And I am so sensitive to the way that I am feeling these days. I am so proud of myself because I’m aware of when I’m going with the Flow and when I’m not. I’m aware of when I’m moving downstream and when I’m moving upstream. I can feel when I’m letting myself be who I have become and I can feel when I’m not letting myself be who I’ve become.

And I’m no longer mad at myself in the moments that I’m not letting myself be who I’ve become because those moments only help me to know the difference in the Guidance System. I can feel I’m actually moulding the clay. I’m finally in the place where I don’t need to be the manifested receiver of everything that I want all at once because I know that it’s all coming, that there will be a time that I will not be sending more rockets of desire into my future.

I’m finally beginning to get it that I never get it done and I cannot get it wrong, because everything that I’m living is causing an expansion and I can tell by the way I feel whether I’m moving toward that expansion or not.

Finally, I’m beginning to understand that it was never about the fulfilment of the manifestation anyway. These things that I want are only my target to focus upon so that I can ride this River of Life. I am fulfilled in the knowing that I am expanding and I’m thrilled in the knowledge that I will never get it done. And I am satisfied - deeply satisfied - with where I am. I’m thrilled in knowing that I am where I am and that I’m putting the boat in the water wherever I am and my knowledge that the Stream is flowing downstream - ever flowing - toward all that I have become is enough for me to feel satisfaction in where I am. No more will I nitpick as I measure the distance between where I am and where I want to be. Instead, I flow on this joyous River and I experience the exhilarating feeling of motion toward my expansion.

I can feel that the Source within me loves me and adores me and has become the expanded version and I can feel that there’s no remorse or discomfort whatsoever in the Being of my Source. My Source not for a moment looks at me where I stand and compares where I am to where it is and mocks me in the not achievement. Instead, the Source within me that is expanded as a result of what I have lived stands in loving appreciation of all that I have become and calls me never endingly toward it.

And now I get it that that’s what life is. That the duality of me, that the Source Energy that was willing to come forth that expanded out further and now the physical part of me that’s willing to catch up, I now get my place in this Universe. I’m important to the expansion of the Universe and it’s time for me to receive the benefit of my expansion and now I know how."

Unicorns

2009-06-14T09:27:00.000+01:00

Emma isn't going to thank me for this post! Her eldest daughter is Unicorn mad and I promised Poppy I would post a picture for her.

But how can you resist the beauty and exuberance of these two creatures? They embody the spirit of joy.

Crop Circles

2009-06-13T11:17:00.000+01:00

Apparently crop circle watchers are hoping for a good year this year. It seems that dry summers give the best results and crop circles are more abundant. Given the forecast, let's hope they get their wish.

I've only ever once seen a crop circle. Eerily it was in Hampshire on the Summer Soltice, near dusk. It wasn't particularly intricate but it had a very strange atmosphere and I would have happily lingered. Who knows, I might have solved the mystery.

Healing Waters

2009-06-12T10:08:00.000+01:00

Emma and I took the girls to a river walk the other day. It wandered in and out of the trees and sometimes the river was slow and deep and sometimes fast and shallow. A bit like life really!

We all came back feeling refreshed and chilled out. There's something about being beside water which is so healing for we humans. It's probably why so many people have water features in their gardens and why kids are thrilled just playing in a bucket of water on a hot day.

Memory

2009-06-11T10:01:00.000+01:00

In the gardens near my flat, the mock orange blossom flowers are nearly out. These are one of my favourite flowers - they seem to get neglected for most of the year and then suddenly you smell their perfume on the breeze and you are transported.

In my case, transported to Rome where at this time of year the city streets are rendolent with the smell of orange blossom while the swallows shriek and swoop overhead.

2009-06-10T16:55:00.000+01:00

One of the drawbacks to the healing work Emma and I do is that we get really hungry after a client session! So tonight I've come home after a busy day of appointments and decided that bacon and eggs is the way forward.

When I was travelling in Australia last year, I loved the way you could get a full English breakfast at any time of the day or night in the cafes and restaurants. There really isn't a better way to recharge the batteries especially when you're back-packing than tucking into bacon, sausages, hash browns or pancakes. So I have wonderful memories of eating breakfast at sunset over the Australian Outback or at dawn in Darwin.

Excuse me - my eggs, bacon and waffles are ready!

Feeling Good

2009-06-08T14:20:00.004+01:00

I've been wearing a beautiful Apophilite crystal today. It's often called the Reiki crystal because it has a very high vibration and a loving energy.

Whenever I wear it it's like I put a ray of sunshine round my neck. I smile and feel like dancing down the street.

How wonderful that something so small can bring such joy!

A Mask

2009-06-07T11:13:00.000+01:00

I've been reading about Venice this morning and particularly about the Masked Revels of the Carnival. They fell out of favour for many, many years but were revived in the 2oth Century with a keen eye to tourist potential. However, they are still an opportunity for Venetians to have balls and parties in the dreary Winter months.

They are also a wonderful opportunity to engage in one of the truly universal games we humans play - hiding behind masks.

One of the effects of healing work is the stepping away from masks. Through healing we often move into a deeper understanding of who we truly are.

But still, who can resist the glamour, allure and mystery of occasionally hiding behind a mask?

Inner Journey

2009-06-06T10:50:00.000+01:00

Sometimes when I'm creating my guided meditations, I look at beautiful photographs and artwork to stimulate the imagery I want to describe. I found this wonderful painting of a waterfall this morning. Perfect to help me create an inner journey.

Responsibility

2009-06-05T09:43:00.001+01:00

One of the things which interests me, is the way we humans are so intent on taking responsibility for other people's emotional well-being.

We delay making the changes in our lives we know we need and want, because we imagine our loved ones will be devastated and destroyed. So instead of giving them the chance to grow and change, we sabotage our own growth.

Now is this protecting ourselves from emotional fall-out? Is it a passive/aggressive martyr thing? Is it a misguided but essentially well-meaning desire not to hurt anyone? And for those on a spiritual path it can be from a belief that it is their duty not to cause ripples, make someone uncomfortable or follow our own ‘selfish’ desires.

One of the hardest realisations but also one of the most rewarding is that we aren’t responsible for anyone else’s emotional well-being or any of their reactions to anything we do.

This isn’t a license to deliberately cause pain, but a truth - that we cannot control (nor should we seek to) what another person does or thinks.

Guest Article: How to Overcome The Clutter! Cheri Najor

2009-06-05T08:50:00.009+01:00

For more about clearing you clutter and cleansing your space pop by the website & check out the Space clearing workshop & the podcast Space Clearing for Therapists.

'My body felt like it was in a vice grip. I stood there as the familiar feeling of being completely overwhelmed, panicked and ashamed took me over. I was standing in my basement, staring at an accumulation of so much "stuff," I could barely move. I even had "stuff" packed in the rafters. My stomach turned at the site, and more than anything, I wanted to do what I've always done. Shut the door and walk away. But on this day, I didn't walk away. This day was different. On this day, I made a single decision that changed my life. This same decision could very well change your life, too.

I started to count it all, and then I lost count. Over two thousand psychology and self-help books, one hundred ninety-seven VHS tapes with titles ranging from "It's A Wonderful Life" to "Tamilee Web's Abs of Steel," forty-five extra pairs of high heels, fifteen mamoth-size boxes of Christmas lights and nick nacks, thirteen flower vases, five extra couches, four cozy antique chairs waiting to be reupholsterd, three shelves of dusty white binders filled with "brilliant" college papers from the 80's, three vegetable peelers, two dining room bureaus and one extra Christmas tree, just in case.

You get the picture.

CLEARING OUT THE CLUTTER BEGINS
I knew that my stuff wasn't really the problem. It was the thinking underlying the stuff I had to marshall the courage to get iin touch with. So I asked myself a challenging question, "What in the world drove me to buy and hoard all of this stuff in the first place?"

My first thought was that I had been hypnotized, hook, line and sinker, by the world of materialism, the world of more. On some level--and without consciously realizing it--I believed that the more stuff I had, the more secure I'd be. OK. I could live with that. That made sense.

As I dug deeper into the thoughts that led to this massive accumulation, I realized (much to my horror) that I also wanted you to walk through my home and admire my stuff so that you would see me as successful and marvel at how a single woman raising a son on her own could possibly afford all this stuff. (Yuck. Eww. It was everything I could do to refrain myself from stepping in front of a yellow school bus when this realization hit me.)

And then the final epiphany, the one that really sent me reeling. I had fallen head over heels in love with the romantic, beautiful, and ever-elusive illusion of "someday." Someday, I'll throw a big party and might need that rose-colored antique bowl. Someday, I'll reupholster those chairs. Someday, I'm going to use those books as reference material for the book I haven't started, but will eventually write.

Someday.

The word haunted me. It owned me. And on this day, I was so sickened at the sound of it echoing in my brain that I just... couldn't... take it... anymore. If you've ever hit the wall with a realization about yourself that is less than pleasant, you know what I'm talking about.

THE DECISION THAT CHANGED MY LIFE
So, I did the only thing that made any sense. I made a decision. And that decision was simple. I launched a frontal assault on the word "someday" and eliminated it from my vocabulary. Period.

Someday didn't really exist anyway. It was just an illusion that I conveniently kept alive so that I never had to really commit to anything. SOMEDAY was always OUT THERE, enabling me to pretend that one day, I would eventually do what I said I was going to do.

Someday kept me safe.
Someday kept me in La-La Land.
Someday never demanded that I risk anything.
Someday corrupted the integrity of my word.
Someday kept big dreams alive on nothing more than life support.

The word was suffocating me, and more than anything, I just wanted to breathe and be free.

SAYING GOODBYE TO SOMEDAY
It's been four weeks and four truckloads of "stuff" later, and the feeling of freedom that surrounds me as I write these words is beyond words.

The kennel that once housed my beloved Golden Retriever "Ben" who passed on more than five years ago is now in the hands of the Animal Rescue League. You should have seen the beaming smile on the volunteer's face when I handed it to her. "Oh my God, thank you!" she said. "You have no idea how much we needed this." The crib, changing table, baby stroller, clothes, playpen and high chair that I was saving for my "someday second child" are now in the hands of an organization dedicated to helping financially strapped women provide for their children. The books are now the property of Purple Heart and the Pontiac Library. The rest of the stuff has been freely given to charities throughout Michigan, being enjoyed and appreciated by men, women and children that need it, now more than ever.

For me, the lessons have been nothing short of profound and life-changing and I share the following with you in the sincere hope that they help to set you on a path of freedom from which there is no turning back. Here's a few of those lessons for you to ponder:

1. I am not my stuff.
2. I do not need you to admire my stuff any longer. In fact, I don't need you to admire me at all.
3. Stuff is meant to be used, enjoyed and released with joy.
4. Stuff isn't supposed to be covered in plastic or coveted in the basement. Pull out your crystal vases and Grandmother's china and throw a barbeque.
5. Stuff can never create a true sense of security. It does, however, create a lot of clutter.
6. The need to hoard stuff is a symptom of an underlying belief in "not enoughness." The truth is, supply is infinite and endless.
7. Releasing stuff feels good.
8. Getting rid of the thoughts that cause you to buy the stuff in the first place feels even better.

Today's Meditation
It is with great joy and a free mind that I release my material possessions into the world.
The natural and effortless law of giving and receiving is now flowing in my life, and I welcome its accompanying soft, cool breeze.
I am so happy and grateful to know that who I am has never had anything to do with what I accumulate.
I now celebrate the truth that my sense of security now comes from knowing who I am and the true origin of all good and plentiful things.
I willingly let you see me clearly, to love and accept me for me, knowing that this is enough.
I am now free of any thoughts of lack, limitation and scarcity.
Abundance is my birthright, and living in flow brings me peace.
I now live in a beautiful home.
It is simple. It is clean. It is filled only with things that bring me joy.
It reflects my mind.
I am free.

"You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32 '

Chill

2009-06-04T11:40:00.000+01:00

When it gets too hot in the city and the bus/train is unbearable, rest your mind and drift away sitting on this seaside decking!

Windows

2009-06-03T15:02:00.002+01:00

Across the headlands
The forest masses
Under gray skies
And mist
Into a solid wall
Of muted gray
Through which cars
Glide skirting noiselessly
The rocky edge.
Through a window
I watch, windows are
For watching -
Square pieces of life
Ever changing.
