When We Hide From Sadness, We Also Hide From Joy
We all do it. We all protect ourselves in ways we aren’t
even sometimes aware of. We develop a pain in our toe or foot, so we wear loose
shoes or no shoes at all. We have a sore spot in our back, so we nurture it by
sitting comfortably, avoiding heavy lifting or any activities that will
aggravate it. Sometimes we get s o
entrenched in the habit of doing this, we don’t notice that the pain has gone
or that healing has taken place and we no longer need to compensate for it anymore.
…And so it is with our hearts and our energy. When others hurt us, on any level, we can hold that hurt tightly, doing everything we can to prevent further pain or even exposure of any kind that may aggravate that ‘hurt’. While we are busy ‘protecting’ ourselves from pain, suffering or hurt, we are also closing ourselves off to love, happiness and joy.
This year we were fortunate enough to meet Jennifer and assist her on her healing journey. Jennifer suffered from heart palpitations, anxiety, shortness of breath and several other unexplainable symptoms. When I say ‘unexplainable’, Jennifer told us she had endured many tests at her doctor’s with no firm diagnosis. This is not to say they may not have had some form of medical explanation, merely that nothing had been uncovered so far.
During her healing treatment, Karen and I both could feel the tight energy that Jennifer held around her chest, which, at times, made it difficult for us to breathe easily. With all of us taking deep cleansing breaths and visualising any old pain or hurts being released on the exhale, even Jennifer could appreciate the difference.
As we worked on Jennifer, it became apparent that she had suffered a lot of heartbreak in her early life - she is in her late forties. Jennifer had erected a strong and powerful wall around her heart, reinforcing her energy field with an impenetrable almost titanium steel-like barrier which provided resistance to her treatment. We spent quite some time ‘loosening’ the structures that Jennifer had used as a stronghold against others before we were able to facilitate the healing process.
Later, we talked to Jennifer about what we had discovered during her session. She told us a little of her family history and how many of her childhood experiences of rejection and abandonment had repeated throughout much of her adult life. Jennifer explained that she found it difficult to make friends, and indeed, to hold onto them. Her own family were separated from her on many levels and she didn’t know how to change this. Jennifer’s expectation seemed to be that others would always hurt her…and she was never disappointed. After all, what we expect or think about the most is what we receive.
We painted a picture for Jennifer of a castle high on a hill, surrounded by impenetrable walls, no drawbridge and a deep moat swarming with vicious reptiles. We asked how she would feel about trying to gain access, if she were on the other side. Jennifer smiled, as she realised that this is what others had come up against when they had tried to connect with her. We then told Jennifer that we had dismantled those walls energetically and it was now up to her to remove the emotional foundations that they had been based on. We also reassured her that just because we had cleared the way, it did not mean that she could never use them again. Although we, as healers, can change the energy around a person and encourage healing, unless they are an active participant, there is always the opportunity for things to go back the way they were.
Jennifer knew it was time for change and she was quite happy to work on clearing the past from her present, realising that she had probably missed out on some awesome opportunities. She told us she would try to be more open, accepting and receptive to those around her. Jennifer also made a resolution to mend some of the bridges within her family.
Since May, we have been assisting Jennifer to heal with regular monthly sessions and you wouldn’t recognise her as the same person we met back then. She has reconnected with some of her family, accepting that some relationships may take longer to repair or that healing may never happen. She has joined some groups and made new friends. In fact, her social life is so busy we had to reschedule her final appointment several times! She is happier, has more energy, and most of those mysterious symptoms have disappeared altogether.

Cough Up
The energy surrounding us right now is encouraging, and in some cases, forcing us, to be honest with ourselves and to openly communicate with those around us. It is also asking us to use our creative energy to create our reality, sometimes in the most strangest ways.
Karen and I are no different to anyone else. We too have been struggling with random throat issues that remind us of who we are, what we want and where we want to be. We have noticed there has been an upsurge in tickly throats, coughs, and even loss of voice. All these indicate that people are being reminded to speak their truth (albeit with love and acceptance), to stand up for what they believe in and to honour their own wishes, opinions and needs.
I went into a workplace the other day and was surprised how many of them had tickly throat syndrome. After talking to a few of them, I discovered that they weren't happy where they were. It wasn't what they had imagined their next career move would be...in fact, some of them just didn't want to be there. Another place we visited had disgruntled people in it, wanting to complain, but feeling powerless and unable to do so, for fear of losing their job or any opportunity to move forward or be noticed for all the hard work they had put in. At a group we attended, we noticed the same again, but in this case, we overheard people mentioning how their relationships seemed a little one-sided or they didn't feel appreciated.
All these examples serve to remind us that this year we are being encouraged to step into our power in all a manner of ways.
This can be as simple as embracing our creative side, instead of squashing it or conforming to fit society's norms. We often forget that we have so much untapped within us. We sometimes get so caught up in appearances and doing what suits those around us, we neglect our own needs and wants...or perhaps we swallow down the words we would like to say...and our body says 'Hang on a minute...that's not right. What about me?'
When we develop a throat issue we have to uncover the reason why. As a centre for out throat chakra, it's affirmation is 'I speak' or 'I listen', so it's important to ask ourselves what it is we aren't saying or hearing. When we think about expressing ourselves or socialising, we use our voices and throat, so it makes sense that expressing our creativity can also be affected.
So, if you are experiencing a tickle, a cough or a swollen/sore throat, it's time to ask what our body is trying to say and what we need to change in our lives to create that change.
PS. Wearing blue helps us to focus that wonderful energy on that particular chakra.

Nudges, Prompts & Shoves
Have you noticed the energy around you this year? In particular the first six months.
2015 is an empowerment year, so many of us have been prompted, nudged and shoved over the past six months to embrace who we are and be 'okay' with it.
Situations and people we may have avoided or ignored previously have been very much 'in your face' for some of us. This has provided much healing, especially if we had been holding onto 'fixed' beliefs surrounding them. If we are 'in touch' with our physical bodies, we may have noticed symptoms or side effects from these 'confrontations of the past and the way we have processed them.
We aren't just being encouraged to stand in our own power or to feel empowered, we are being shoved in the right direction towards our true purpose. All this enables us to remember who we really are and to celebrate those parts of us we have been ignoring, neglected or forgotten about.
If we take heed of the signs we were given, we may have also noticed a change in the way we feel about certain situations or people. If not, well, we can expect those lessons to be more pronounced and deliberate.
Those of us who have processed and moved past these old emotions and past hurts will have noticed that things have begun to change, both within and without. It is as if a switch has been flicked and we are now operating and thinking of a different level of consciousness, even if we aren't totally aware of it.
I like to think of this year as 'The Leveller'. Each of us will be given the opportunity to create change and become empowered over, what seems to be, a six month period. If you haven't experienced it yet, don't worry, it's on it's way.
The good news is that when we get to the other side of this difficult time, we will feel more 'whole' than we have for some times. We will also feel better equipped to deal with whatever life hands us...as long as we don't slip back into the way we were before.
Next year is all about getting into contact with our spiritual side; be it developing our psychic-ness, connecting with spirit or our intuition, or changing our attitude to ourselves and life. This is definitely an intense period of growth throughout this year and it is vital to our individual transformation.
So, if you have been struggling lately with the 'lessons' you are being forced to face, remember you will come out of them a more empowered and enlightened person. Don't fight against it. Instead, allow yourself to be reminded or instructed in how to remember again.
Remember: This is all for our highest good and growth.

Healing Begins Within
The other day we had a client who suffered from anxiety. Before the session we chatted about the onset of these feelings of panic and what she believed were the triggers that brought it on. Miranda explained that she found that she was often overwhelmed. We asked her to be a bit more specific, and she told me about her childhood and the enormous pressure her parents put her under to excel at school. Her older sister was an 'A' student, and she had continually been compared unfavourably to her. Our client couldn't wait to leave home and had even moved states to get away from her family.
We asked her what was happening in her life at the moment that may either be different or new. Miranda told us she had just started a new job and the manager was a perfectionist. It didn't matter what she did, Miranda just didn't seem to measure up to the quality her new boss seemed to expect of her. To make matters worse, the boss and her predecessor had worked well together, fitting together like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. As Matilda spoke, the penny dropped. "I can't believe I am in the same situation again."
We talked about other times when she had experienced this kind of problem. After a while, Matilda realised that running away from her family hadn't helped her to run away from the situation. Everywhere she had moved to, every relationship she had experienced, and every job she had taken had 'held' the same kind of circumstances - even if it was to a lesser degree.
Looking at the emotional impacts of her symptoms, we pointed out that panic/anxiety attacks were often a result of feeling trapped, confined or 'less than'. Matilda agreed that these feelings played a huge part in her life.
Matilda agreed to 'release' her limiting thoughts, her feelings of low self worth and her anger towards those who had helped her create those belief systems in the first place, during her reiki session.
Afterwards, Matilda felt relaxed, balanced and re-energised. We told her to really 'feel' how her body and energy was vibrating right now, saying 'This is how you are meant to feel, that is your sense of complete balance. Use that feeling as a barometer, so you are aware when your body needs your attention or assistance.'
Matilda rang yesterday to thank us, saying that she had already made changes in her life, but the most exciting news she had to tell us was that she hadn't had a panic attack since her session.
It will be interesting when we next see Matilda to find out the changes she has made, and whether she has learned to appreciate her worth from her own view, and not from the perspective of others.

Karma Is What You Make It
Lets talk about karma. Today I was told by someone that the reason why their life has been so crappy is due to the karma they are receiving as a result of their behaviour in past lifetimes. Personally, I believe karma is a belief system. It is also a self flagellating system. There is no karma per se. What there is, is the responsibility for our actions, words and deeds. There is no one keeping a track of all the bad and good things we are doing. We are the 'record keepers'.
Karma is not a punishment eked out by anyone else. It is the belief system of the record keeper that dictates the severity and tenure of our karma. Karma isn't automatic punishment for anything we have ever done. Karma is brought about by our belief that we have done something wrong. Either we believe we should be punished or we don't...
This is why, some people, who have done horrendous things to other people, don't experience karma. They believe they were acting in their best interests and that their actions were justifiable - end of story. It also explains why some people lead charmed lives regardless of their actions, but then begin experiencing misfortune (read: karma) after they develop a conscience or feel responsible.
Sure, we can bring that belief of requiring punishment back in with us, as a cellular or soulular memory, into a following life, but thats all it is, a belief.
As long as we believe we need to be punished, or that we don't deserve a great life, we attract exactly what you are asking for.
To me, its not about serving time or being punished, it is about saying 'That was then, this is now. I am not the same person. I am not accountable for past life deeds and actions'
I am not 'dissing' anyone elses' beliefs or opinion, I am merely stating that my belief system is this, and it is up to everyone to decide what they believe.
We are not here to be judged. We are never found 'wanting'. We have certain lessons we have learnt in each lifetime. We chose them. Some were easy, some were kind, some where self serving, some were lovely, some were cruel, some were sad, and some were extremely difficult.
There is no 'wrong' to be had, because we chose what experiences we would have, and the ones we would share with others. I know that's difficult to believe when we look at some of the terrible things people do to each other, but for us to learn all the many aspects of the physical plane, we have had to experience the good with the bad. This helps us to see all sides of everyone, the light as well as the shadow. It helps us to accept everyone for who they are without question, without judgement.
However, what we believe in, is what decides or dictates whether karma happens or not....
If we all lived in a way that we accept responsibility for our actions, respect all things and remain aware of what we are doing, not just to others, but also to ourselves, then words like karma would not exist. As record keepers, we would be redundant.
So before you start feeling you are being punished for something you don't recall, perhaps you need to remember this:
You are not a bad person, you never have been. You have just been fulfilling the lessons you chose in each lifetime. There is no blame...only learning!

Coming Home
Past Life Patterns - Present Day Issues
Sometimes a past life healing isn't relative to a specific lifetime, but instead it is a series of events or patterns that have occurred in multiple lifetimes. This is what happened to our client, who we will call Matilda.
Matilda wasn't sure she needed a past life healing experience. A friend had suggested she try it to help with several issues that were plaguing her within her current life. Needless to say, she was a bit reluctant.
When someone isn't keen, we don't convince them to take part, after all, it is not up to us to say what someone else should and shouldn't do.
When we arrived, it was patently clear Matilda was uneasy about the whole process. We suggested we have a cuppa and chat instead. There was no pressure, if she still felt it wasn't right for her, then we would leave.
As we sat there, we showed her some of the 'tools' we use - crystals, tuning forks, smudge sticks, ting chas, etc - all very non-scary items. We then relaxed and talked about everyday things and encouraged Matilda to tell us a bit about her life.
Matilda's life unfolded like a bad soap opera, where the main actress was 'out upon' by all and sundry as well as some disastrous love affairs and relationships. We gently pointed out a pattern that was recurring throughout her life, beginning in her early childhood. Matilda hadn't noticed these 'signs' as she had travelled along her life path, she had just assumed she was 'meant to have a shit life', to borrow her phrase. She suggested that perhaps she had done something really bad in a past life to suffer so much karma this time.
Now, we aren't big believers in the negative aspects of karma that are so highly publicised and suggested it might be something else from a past life that she wasn't aware of.
By the time Karen and I had finished our cuppa, Matilda was eager to have a past life healing. In fact she kept looking at us pointedly as we 'dawdled' over our tea, asking us if we were finished yet. lol
After we had set up the table, etc, Matilda lay down, groaning slightly as she remarked how good it was to lie down. Isn't it funny how we all say things like that, but rarely allow ourselves this forbidden pleasure? After all, heaven forbid we relax in our busy lives! Ahh, but I digress...
As soon as we connected energetically, I was shown a variety of lives that Matilda had lived, where she had been abused, ignored and had 'lost at love' in some of the most dramatic ways. There were issues with her chakras, pain in her shoulder, lower back, points of interest in her legs, ankles and wrists as well as a tightness in her chest. After I had finished the reiki/energy connection, Karen cleared the blockages I listed before, then the energy layers around Matilda. After Karen had 'grounded' Matilda and brought her out of 'the happy zone' that most of our clients go to during a treatment, we sat beside the table, telling her what we had been shown and what we had discovered and done to different blockages within her body and energetic fields.
In the first lifetime we were shown, Matilda had been a young bride and her husband hadn't liked her vibrant personality (it was an arranged marriage to better the family fortunes), so he would tie one arm to a post on a verandah type area, and beat her. This was relevant to this acute pain and ache in her right shoulder. She told us she had always had limited use of that shoulder, without any injury or reason for it. From this lifetime, she learned to hide who she was, to not stand out in the crowd and that marriage was full of men that were cruel.
The next lifetime she was an illegitimate child living in a convent, where there was no love. She was continually beaten because she was too energetic and fun loving. She knew she had been abandoned by her mother, who was obviously a woman of ill repute - How did she know this? She was told daily by the nuns at the convent. She succeeded in running away, but had died from hypothermia. From this lifetime Matilda learned that she was unloved and unlovable, that she couldn't rely on anyone, that even women were just as cruel as women and again, that she mustn't stand out in the crowd.
In the final lifetime, Matilda was a young lady from Victorian times. She was deeply in love with a young army officer. He led her on something terrible, promising her the world and saying he would love her until the end of time. Her parents were distant and she craved love, and the crumbs this rascal gave her gave her a sense of worth and lovability. As things often happen, she became pregnant to him and then she discovered he was already married. When she confronted him, he publicly derided her in front of his male friends, mocking her naivety and ensuring that she knew he never loved her, she was just easy game. From this lifetime, Matilda again learned about cruelty, abandonment, rejection and how insignificant she was.
Is it any wonder that Matilda had had such a difficult life this time? As we spoke of these things, Matilda had several Aha! moments, especially when we pointed out some of the people in her current lifetime that had been present in these past ones.
When we were finished, she asked us if we had 'removed' all that horrible stuff from her past lives. We told her that we had cleared the energy surrounding them, but it was important she integrated them into who she was now. It is by being aware of past patterns, that we can create change and learn to expect different this time. Every experience is an opportunity to learn. We don't need to hold onto the experience, but it is important that we learn the lesson and realise why we act as we do.
After a past life healing, if we are ready to embrace what we have learnt, we can realise that those lessons we learned don't define us, they are merely emotions/situations and events we chose to experience so we could remember how awesome we are, regardless of what happens.
Matilda emailed us a week or so later to say she felt totally different, that she was re-discovering who she was, and most importantly, she wasn't afraid to let others see that too,
Golly Gosh! We so love what we do!

As we sat there, we showed her some of the 'tools' we use - crystals, tuning forks, smudge sticks, ting chas, etc - all very non-scary items. We then relaxed and talked about everyday things and encouraged Matilda to tell us a bit about her life.
Matilda's life unfolded like a bad soap opera, where the main actress was 'out upon' by all and sundry as well as some disastrous love affairs and relationships. We gently pointed out a pattern that was recurring throughout her life, beginning in her early childhood. Matilda hadn't noticed these 'signs' as she had travelled along her life path, she had just assumed she was 'meant to have a shit life', to borrow her phrase. She suggested that perhaps she had done something really bad in a past life to suffer so much karma this time.
Now, we aren't big believers in the negative aspects of karma that are so highly publicised and suggested it might be something else from a past life that she wasn't aware of.
By the time Karen and I had finished our cuppa, Matilda was eager to have a past life healing. In fact she kept looking at us pointedly as we 'dawdled' over our tea, asking us if we were finished yet. lol
After we had set up the table, etc, Matilda lay down, groaning slightly as she remarked how good it was to lie down. Isn't it funny how we all say things like that, but rarely allow ourselves this forbidden pleasure? After all, heaven forbid we relax in our busy lives! Ahh, but I digress...
As soon as we connected energetically, I was shown a variety of lives that Matilda had lived, where she had been abused, ignored and had 'lost at love' in some of the most dramatic ways. There were issues with her chakras, pain in her shoulder, lower back, points of interest in her legs, ankles and wrists as well as a tightness in her chest. After I had finished the reiki/energy connection, Karen cleared the blockages I listed before, then the energy layers around Matilda. After Karen had 'grounded' Matilda and brought her out of 'the happy zone' that most of our clients go to during a treatment, we sat beside the table, telling her what we had been shown and what we had discovered and done to different blockages within her body and energetic fields.
In the first lifetime we were shown, Matilda had been a young bride and her husband hadn't liked her vibrant personality (it was an arranged marriage to better the family fortunes), so he would tie one arm to a post on a verandah type area, and beat her. This was relevant to this acute pain and ache in her right shoulder. She told us she had always had limited use of that shoulder, without any injury or reason for it. From this lifetime, she learned to hide who she was, to not stand out in the crowd and that marriage was full of men that were cruel.
The next lifetime she was an illegitimate child living in a convent, where there was no love. She was continually beaten because she was too energetic and fun loving. She knew she had been abandoned by her mother, who was obviously a woman of ill repute - How did she know this? She was told daily by the nuns at the convent. She succeeded in running away, but had died from hypothermia. From this lifetime Matilda learned that she was unloved and unlovable, that she couldn't rely on anyone, that even women were just as cruel as women and again, that she mustn't stand out in the crowd.
In the final lifetime, Matilda was a young lady from Victorian times. She was deeply in love with a young army officer. He led her on something terrible, promising her the world and saying he would love her until the end of time. Her parents were distant and she craved love, and the crumbs this rascal gave her gave her a sense of worth and lovability. As things often happen, she became pregnant to him and then she discovered he was already married. When she confronted him, he publicly derided her in front of his male friends, mocking her naivety and ensuring that she knew he never loved her, she was just easy game. From this lifetime, Matilda again learned about cruelty, abandonment, rejection and how insignificant she was.
Is it any wonder that Matilda had had such a difficult life this time? As we spoke of these things, Matilda had several Aha! moments, especially when we pointed out some of the people in her current lifetime that had been present in these past ones.
When we were finished, she asked us if we had 'removed' all that horrible stuff from her past lives. We told her that we had cleared the energy surrounding them, but it was important she integrated them into who she was now. It is by being aware of past patterns, that we can create change and learn to expect different this time. Every experience is an opportunity to learn. We don't need to hold onto the experience, but it is important that we learn the lesson and realise why we act as we do.
After a past life healing, if we are ready to embrace what we have learnt, we can realise that those lessons we learned don't define us, they are merely emotions/situations and events we chose to experience so we could remember how awesome we are, regardless of what happens.
Matilda emailed us a week or so later to say she felt totally different, that she was re-discovering who she was, and most importantly, she wasn't afraid to let others see that too,
Golly Gosh! We so love what we do!

I Am That, And That Is Me
I
had a wonderful experience while I was receiving a treatment a while ago. I was
lying face up with a sarong draped over me. The fan was on and a gentle breeze
was coming from a window to my left.
As
I lay there I was very conscious of the fact that I had lost the ability to
move or speak, but not in a scary paralysed way, so I knew something was about
to be revealed to me. There was a ripple of air brushing across me, and I ‘knew’
that there were flames around my lower body. I could see myself as if I was
looking down upon where I lay – but I was no longer in a room.
I was lying on a wooden funeral pyre at the top of a hill of sorts. I could see for miles around me, and the area was quite mountainous. There were many clusters of trees, and I could even see the homes of my people on a ledge to the right below us. I brought my attention back to where my body lay, curious as to what was happening. I could see my ‘family’ crying and comforting each other as they mourned my passing (I considered my whole tribe to be my family). I felt sorry for their loss, but I was satisfied with the life I had lived. I knew I had done what I needed to do and I had done it to the best of my abilities. Instead I felt peace. There was a sense of excitement, as if the best was yet to come… I leaned in closer to see my former incarnation. I was a male of, what looked like, advanced years, but I felt this was deceptive as I had lived my life out in the sun, and life had not been easy. I had deep furrows around the corners of my eyes and around my mouth, and I knew I was a man who smiled and loved a lot. I had a smile on my face that said ‘I am happy to leave.’ I was covered by a colourful rug. It had yellow and white patterns of people and animals woven into it. I had a sense that this rug had been mine for most of my life and it was fitting that it should go with me. As the flames were gathering momentum, I felt myself drawn into my former body, to be a part of that final journey.. As I lay there, I could see the sky in all its wonder, as I felt it draw in close to me….and I felt myself drawn to it, pulled by some invisible force. I was lifted up and out of my body, and I ‘became’ the sky! I became a part of everything. I could feel all the parts of the world around me, and I was a part of all beings, of all things. There was such joy and wonder as I reconnected with who I truly was and became all that was, all that is and all that will be. Words just can’t describe this enormous, incredible feeling of belonging; of just be-ing. …and then I came back into this life, this body and this time. It was then I remembered that separation or disconnection from our ‘home’ is a deception and a perception. We can actually connect anytime we are open to doing so. We don’t have to leave this world to feel that sense of belonging. We always belong. We always have and we always will! |

Distance Healing...In It's Own Time
Healing doesn’t always work to our time frame…
Karen and I often do treatments for each other, using a variety of modalities. It is awesome to be able to relax and enjoy a treatment, but it is also a wonderful feeling to be able to give one as well.
Sometimes we look at treatments for relaxation, healing, past life issues, etc. It is useful to use treatment as a way to send distant healing to one of our family members as well. A kind of ‘two for the price of one’ treatment, you might say!
The other day we did exactly that. We sent some healing to a family member who had recently been in hospital. Although the issue had been resolved, and they had been discharged, we were aware of the emotional effect incurred by a visit to the hospital. We didn’t want to just send healing on a physical level; we wanted to clear any energy residue from the hospital as well as returning balance to this person.
Just before we started, Karen noticed three beautiful strands of light rising up from her singing bowl, so we decided to incorporate that in this healing session. I tapped into the person we were sending healing to and we discussed the best way to create healing that related to those specific areas of the body. We turned on our ‘healing music’ to set the tone of the session.
The treatment went really well, with both of us comparing notes at the end. We were about to walk out of the treatment room when we realised the music was still playing. Karen turned it off and we walked down the hallway. The music began playing again. Karen was closest, so she went back to the room and turned it off again. We laughed saying perhaps the healing energy in the room had not finished its work yet. Halfway down the stairs we heard the music start up again. We stopped where we were and looked at each other with a look of joyful surprise. Clearly we were being sent a message to leave it going and let the energy finish what we had started. As we are often fond of saying ‘Three times is a charm’, we turned and carried on down the stairs.
When we take part in a distance healing; when we ask for assistance from our angels and the guides we each have, we need to remember that it doesn’t always stop or finish when we do….and that’s okay.

Which Way is Witch?
Karen and I were talking about past life memories the other
day and we wanted to share one of ours with you. Quite a few years ago, Karen
joined a group, where she met many like-minded souls. She got on well with
everyone there except for one person. Guy was well liked by everyone else in
the group, and, in fact was quite charismatic, drawing others to him with his
wisdom and charm.
When Karen first met Guy, she was instantly repelled. The energy emitting from him was overpowering and she found she couldn’t even bear to be in the room with him. Karen wasn’t sure why this was, and did her best to mask her feelings, especially as everyone else loved Guy and was in awe of him.
Karen spent a lot of time beating herself up, believing that she was at fault; perhaps she was jealous of his easy charm or the way he captivated everyone’s attention? She tried various ways to get past this energy block that was quite dense and tangible between them, but the feelings remained. It became difficult to enjoy the group when it was so uncomfortable and strained for her.
One day she was speaking to her friend Bessie, a counsellor and past life therapist, explaining that she had no reason to dislike this man so intensely, and wondering how she could resolve it without leaving the group. They discovered that, in a past life, Karen was a witch (no surprises there, hey?! ☺) and this man was the magistrate or judge who had incarcerated her and sentenced her to death. Karen realised that the energy they had each brought in from this past life was impacting on any relationship they might have in this lifetime. She hadn’t recognised him as that person, but had instead, attuned herself with his soulular energetic imprint.
Karen went back to the group the following week and found that, although she knew what the issue had been, she still felt uncomfortable and couldn’t relate to him at all. She knew that sometimes ‘knowing’ our connection in a past life is enough to release these memories and emotions, but clearly, she had missed something. The next day she saw Bessie again and they talked about the latest emotions that Karen experienced while around Guy. It turned out that what Karen had mistakenly assumed was fear of this man and the effect he had had on her previous existence, was in fact a form of self preservation.
Where Karen had believed that she ‘hid’ or stayed away from him in fear of reprisal, she discovered that she was hiding for another reason. Bessie explained that, in this lifetime, Karen didn’t want him to know how powerful she was and this was why she found it difficult to ‘connect’ with him on any level. In that past lifetime, Karen had no resources or support to call upon, but things were different this time around.
When Karen went to the group again, the energy around Guy had been shifted and released and she was able to relax and enjoy herself more fully again.
Often we pick up on the energy of others and either wonder what it is that affects us so strongly about them or why we are magnetically drawn to them. Sometimes we avoid the person instead of digging a little deeper. We move in similar circles each lifetime and often that person we hated intensely within one lifetime is the person we love without abandon in another. We each make a contract to help those from our soul circle during a specific lifetime. Help can come in many forms. It can be real support and assistance, or it can appear as a trial and tribulation that encourages us to dig deep within ourselves to discover the power we have within.
It’s no wonder we love our healing journeys and past life healings so much. There are so many lifetimes and stories to discover, and everyone’s story is unique and special…

It's All About You!
Sometimes the healing trips Karen and I take aren’t purely about past life healings. Sometimes there is a present life problem or issue that needs healing and help.
This month we visited Catherine in Gympie, who was having trouble with her elbows and her ankles. She was in a great deal of pain and felt quite stiff in those joints.
While she was receiving reiki, we identified some other emotional symptoms that were within her energy field. (emotional symptoms aren’t always experienced as a physical pain, they are often indicators that something is wrong within that person’s energetic field).
As we discussed the impact of these ‘symptoms and what they meant within Catherine’s life, she spoke about past hurts and trauma that had occurred in her childhood. She felt these same kinds of hurts had repeated often through her adult life and currently believed that she was a magnet for failed relationships and disconnection from those she loved, or would like to love.
Catherine had held onto all these past experiences and created issues with her lower back. This is the place where we store all our emotional pain and hurts. Recently she had broken up with her boyfriend and told us she felt as if history was repeating itself.
Catherine had specific ideas about how a relationship should be, and as a result, she was often disappointed. We explained that her elbows were telling her she was being extremely inflexible in her approach to her relationship. The sensation in her ankles highlighted that she felt ‘shackled’ to this belief system.
After her reiki, Karen cleared her energetic field with the tuning forks, also focusing on some of her painful areas.
Later over a cup of tea, we looked at Catherine’s belief systems and where they had come from. She had come from a dysfunctional family, where her mother was the dominant parent and her father was an ‘anything for a bit of peace’ man.
Catherine had an assertive personality and tried to hide it, by being overly compliant in her relationships. The problem was that when she had initially met her respective partners, she had been assertive, confident and independent. As soon as a relationship had begun to get serious, she would remember her childhood experience of how not to behave, and as a result, would become dependent, needy and forget her importance within the relationship balance.
After Catherine had acknowledged these outdated beliefs, we helped her to create some new empowering affirmations and then Karen used the forks to clear all that ‘old stuff’ away.
Catherine has promised to keep in touch and let us know of any updates on the romantic front. Once we are aware of the patterns we have brought in as a result of our childhood, we begin to bring them to our attention and it is harder for them to slip below our radar….and that’s when the personal healing begins!

Hip Hip Hooray!
Early in September, Karen and I were invited to help a lady (Clare) who lived in Coolum with a hip/back problem. It was obvious she was in a great deal of pain and every movement was difficult. We decided that putting her on the table for a treatment would only cause her more angst, so she sat on her recliner chair, while we worked on her.
During the healing she told us that it had come on suddenly about two weeks ago, she had been x-rayed, but there didn't seem to be an obvious reason for her pain. Walking, sitting, standing and lying all aggravated this condition. Painkillers seemed to dull it a little, but it never truly went away. She wondered if we thought it might be a past life issue. After an ' intuitive scan', we were able to tell her it was a present life issue.
We looked at where she felt the pain and what it meant on an emotional symptom level. We asked her some questions about what was happening in her life right now, why she felt burdened and emotionally 'stuck'. Clare explained to us that about the time she started having issues with her hip and back, she had been upset with her son. Clare only works part time and doesn't have a lot of extra cash to play around with. Her grown son had come to stay for a week and had proceeded to eat her out of house and home. He had been dismissive of her, and treated her home, and Clare, as if he was staying in an all expenses paid hotel. He had borrowed her car, until it ran out of fuel and convinced her to lend him some of the small savings she had in her bank account. When there was nothing left to give, he just up and left. He hadn't said goodbye, and had been annoyed when she had rung him to make sure he was okay when he didn't return that night.
There was much more to the story, but as far as Clare could pinpoint it, the pain started as she picked up all the rubbish lying around on the floor in the spare room.
We talked about our hips, and how, when they have issues, it is because we feel as if we are carrying someone else on their journey, instead of focusing on our own. After all, when one carries a child, it is usually on our hip! Our lower back is about not feeling supported or past emotional hurts and issues that we have held on to. Clare admitted that when her ex husband was around, he treated her in much the same way as her son just did. We discussed boundary setting and how, when we 'forget' to set boundaries, it can affect us first energetically, and then physically/emotionally. Clare agreed that she had felt as if she had no energy while her son had visited and she had felt very much taken for granted. He didn't visit very often, so she didn't want him to think she was whining or demanding, so she had just buttoned her lip and said nothing. We asked how her stomach had behaved during that time and she told us that it had churned a lot, so much so that she had stopped eating because she thought she had been coming down with a virus.
After we had talked all this through with Clare, we set up the table and gave her a wonderful healing treatment using reiki and sound therapy (tuning forks). We also cleared her energy field and when we left she was much brighter and lighter.
'Ahh', I hear you ask, 'but didn't you say she was in too much pain to get on the table, Cherie?' Surprisingly (or not), by the time we had finished chatting to Clare, her pain level had diminished on the pain scale from a nine to a five, and she insisted she attempt to get on the table. Although the pain wasn't completely gone when we left, she did ring us a few weeks later to say that she was only getting little twinges now.
We're not saying that we can cure anything during a healing journey, not by a long shot, but we can help you look at what is going on and why or how it is affecting you. Not all issues are past life issues. Some are present moment events that require our undivided attention. Clare has gone on to learn some new techniques to enable her to create healthy boundaries for her son's next visit, and we are looking forward to hearing how that goes.
Healing involves the whole body, mind, spirit, energy field and emotions. We can't 'make' it happen, but we can help you to have your 'Aha!' moment and begin working towards good health. Health, like happiness, is an inside job!

The Truth of the Matter Isn't Always Clear
Last month Karen and I were doing a Healing Journey in Brisbane, where we met a young man (lets call him Paul) with an unsightly sore on his right chest. He told us that it had appeared out of nowhere about a month prior. Paul wanted to know if he needed any past life healing as he had tried everything with his doctor and exhausted all possibilities. As far as tests went, he was healthy as an ox. We asked him about the appearance of this 'mark' and what had happened around that time. Paul couldn't tell us anything, he said he woke up one morning and there it was.
Karen and I couldn't help noticing it looked a lot like a bullet hole and remarked on it to Paul. He said that was what it had looked like right from when he had first noticed it.
While we were doing a healing, I was shown a time when Paul was a soldier in the union army during the American Civil War. He had been charging toward his enemy and had been shot in the chest. I asked him if he had felt a strange sensation on the back of his neck since the sore had appeared, and he nodded, saying it sometimes felt like he had been hit there. After he fell to the ground, an enthusiastic soldier had used his bayonet to stab him in the back of the neck.
Later we discussed the name we had been given and time of this past life. It was interesting to note that Paul's middle name corresponded with the name he had been known by in that lifetime. We get such a buzz out of synchronistic validation like this.
Paul did a Google search and we found his obituary and information about the battle he had fallen in. (This doesn't always happen, but when it does...woo hoo!)
We heard back from Paul the other day. The 'bullet wound' has healed up and his neck no longer gives him any trouble. Past life healing rocks!
Last month Karen and I were doing a Healing Journey in Brisbane, where we met a young man (lets call him Paul) with an unsightly sore on his right chest. He told us that it had appeared out of nowhere about a month prior. Paul wanted to know if he needed any past life healing as he had tried everything with his doctor and exhausted all possibilities. As far as tests went, he was healthy as an ox. We asked him about the appearance of this 'mark' and what had happened around that time. Paul couldn't tell us anything, he said he woke up one morning and there it was.
Karen and I couldn't help noticing it looked a lot like a bullet hole and remarked on it to Paul. He said that was what it had looked like right from when he had first noticed it.

What If You Were The Healer You Were Looking For?
For the past month I have had a nasty sore on my shoulder that has become quite sore and inflamed. About two weeks ago, I was whinging about it to Karen one day and she asked me if I had 'checked' to see why it was I had it and if it was a past life issue. It's funny how I can do that so quickly for others, but, like everyone else, I often forget to look a little deeper for me.
I decided I had better have a little 'quiet time', to work what the problem was and why it was so relevant in my life right now. As I closed my eyes, I saw myself as a soldier in the civil war. I was given a name - John Wayman and that I was in my forties. The spot that was so painful on my arm was where I was shot by a sniper in this lifetime. The spot felt like a ball, similar to an old fashioned ball bullet. I was happy with that, and then carried on with my day.... That night, I searched on Google for a significantly long time, without finding what I wanted. I decided I must have heard the name wrong, and gave up my hunt.
The next morning, I awoke to Brian, my guide, telling me that the surname was Wyman, not Wayman. I went back online and found a John B Wyman who had been shot in the shoulder just before he was due to go into battle. Goosebumps were my ultimate validation and I saved the page to read later...and got on with life.
At the end of last week, my arm was swollen and purple, and looked awful. I covered it up and 'carried on'. Two nights ago, as I lay in bed, I pondered about my shoulder as it throbbed and ached. I realised that although I had read the necessary information to help me identify and confirm what the issue was, but I hadn't actually 'healed' that past life issue. As I lay there I thanked my body for highlighting this issue that I had brought into this lifetime and sent love to where the pain was. As I did so, I felt a strange sensation, much like I would imagine a flower would make as it began to blossom. I rolled over and went to sleep, thinking to myself 'Well, it will be interesting to see what my arm looks like in the morning.'
The next day, my arm was no longer swollen, the deep purple shade was all gone and the 'spot' was a pink colour. Although its not completely better, it is certainly no longer a past life issue. Any healing now is on a physical and earthly level.
So next time you are sore or aching or in pain, try sitting quietly and thanking your body for taking the time and effort to tell you that you need to look a little deeper at the 'why' you are feeling this way. Send some love to that place, and really really mean it as often as you can...and see what happens next...You might be pleasantly surprised!

Empowerment is King!
Its amazing how life unfolds sometimes...when we least expect it...
At the beginning of this year, we were contacted by someone who felt that life wasn't going the way that they had anticipated. They felt as if life was spiralling out of control and it felt as if everyone and everything was against him.
Karen and I arranged to come and do a past life healing for him the following weekend. When we arrived he informed us that he didn't really believe we could help him, his sister was a liker on our page and told him to contact us. I love meeting up with a fellow skeptic, and we all spent a little time discussing unproved theories and what was easy to believe and what was not.
Karen and I are healthily skeptic as well, which always seems to take the wind out of people's sails. We do this because we believe in it and we have oodles of faith in our ability to help others. We are quite happy to pooh pooh anything that hasn't been proven by or to us.
Samuel grudgingly got up on the table and we began 'tapping into' the most relevant past life for him. Almost instantly, I saw him as a knight and a champion for the queen. I was also aware that there was a lot of jealousy around him, and the king wasn't too happy either. He felt his wife was spending too much time admiring her champion, and in fact he suspected her of having an affair - or at least contemplating it. I could see her fluttering her fan as she watched him with girlish admiration.
The knight was set upon by his fellow knights, as per the king's instructions. His wife, as you can imagine, was devastated. However, it wasn't because she had lost her true love, but because he had been her illegitimate brother from a union with her father and one of the servants in her family home.
Life sure can be complicated sometimes, can't it?
After we had finished, we discussed what had come up, pointing out different aspects of that past life he had brought in with him this lifetime...like issues with authority figures, a distrust of women, feeling as if others were against or jealous of him, that there was no need for him to try and succeed in life, because someone always' put the knife in' if you did. Mr Skeptic did a complete turnaround as we talked about these aspects of his current life and who some of those people from that past lifetime had reappeared in this one.
I just love the power of reiki and how it helps us to identify and heal past hurts and issues, and then there is the added bonus of the tuning forks that clear that old energy and integrate it into our current journey.
Samuel has kept in touch and things have sure changed for him since we saw him in early January. He has a new job and a lady love and has mended some of his relationships within his family. The most promising one was with his sister, who he felt a strange, but intense dislike ever since they were children. Don't you just love it when a past life heals and improves a current one? I get goosebumps every time I think of the change in their friendship/relationship!
Last month he signed up for our Unwrap Your Awesome online course and is now discovering more about his past lives and what else might be affecting him or holding him back. It will be interesting to see how different he feels about mumbo jumbo spiritual stuff at the end of that!

Lets Talk About Love, Baby!
Today we visited a young couple who have been trying to start a family for several years, without success. They had undergone all the tests and knew they were both capable of creating a family. They contacted us, feeling that a past life healing might shed some light on why this wasn't happening for them.
During the reiki, we discovered that Beth (fictitious name) had been a nun in a convent in the late 1700s. She had had an illicit affair with the priest there and had fallen pregnant. Had they been discovered, they would both have been thrown out of the order they belonged to.
In order to maintain their lives without censure, Beth had gone to 'visit another order', but in actual fact, she had disguised herself as a widow woman, staying with a family in another county, until she had the baby. The priest organised for the baby to be taken by the family after it was born, and Beth returned back to the order as if nothing had happened.
However, so much had changed. The Priest - Father Anton, would have nothing to do with her, so she had lost not only her baby, but also her 'true love'. She couldn't know that Father Anton had been taken to task by someone who had suspected there was more to the story. Unless he wanted to be sent away permanently and never see Beth again, he had to be seen to be showing no interest in any of the young nuns at the convent.
Beth found it hard to fit in after her stint out in the real world, and felt she was being punished unduly for what had happened. She couldn't understand why Father Anton was so cold and dismissive of her. It is possible that she was suffering from post natal depression, which helped to make the situation feel even more devastating.
One day she went for a walk along the cliffs and 'fell' to her death. Although she would not have committed suicide intentionally because of her beliefs, she may have walked carelessly or without watching where she was going, to cause such an accident.
On a soulular level, Beth associated pregnancy with abandonment, rejection and even death, so on some level, we felt she was blocking any attempts to fall pregnant.
The plot thickened when we did a past life healing on Andrew (another fictitious name). In a past life he was, you guessed it...Father Anton! He too had suffered remorse, guilt and anguish of a beautiful love that was lost due to circumstance and environment.
It was inevitable that they would seek each other out in this lifetime to repair the rift between them and 'get it right' this time. They had both told us it was a case of 'love at first sight' when they had met at a party.
After we had discussed what we had discovered with both of them, we cleared their energy, and helped them to integrate what they had learned from that lifetime. Hopefully they could now both move forward without that fear or anguish they had been experiencing. They both said they felt freer and ready to take some time out from trying so hard to have a baby, to rediscover each other again.
It was a wonderful heartwarming visit and they have promised we shall be amongst the first to know when they get pregnant. We can't guarantee results, but hopefully, the healing and clearing will have changed things in a positive way for them.

Healing is a conscious effort
Although we can travel from place to place giving healings that encourage balance, restore calm or alleviate pain and other issues, we are only a part of the equation. For a healing, and even a reading, to achieve the best result 'audience participation' is always required. By audience, I am referring to the client who is receiving any kind of healing.
Healings and readings are great tools to help us all along our life path, but it is important to remember that ultimately the responsibility lies within us. A reading is only relative to the energy we are 'sitting in' right now. If we change something drastically, what is coming will also change in some way. The opportunities and other good stuff will still appear, but they may come in a different form or manner. And so it is with healings, we can assist change within your energetic field and create balance for others, but it is up to the person receiving the healing to maintain that balance.
I can remember doing reiki combined with a chakra clearing on a young man, who was obviously conflicted within his relationship. He was married with a child on the way, but knew deep down that this was not the life he wanted to live. At the end of the healing, I shared with him what his energy and chakras had highlighted for me.
He looked at me and asked 'So, you have fixed them all?'
I told him I hadn't 'fixed' them, I had merely created balance within them. I reminded him that he was 'in charge' of his chakras and, therefore, could reverse them, or correct them in any way he chose. I will assume that he reverted them pretty quickly, as there was no way he wanted to bring about any change within his life and relationships.
Karen and I were talking today about a client she had late last year. She came to Karen with headaches and excema, as she has heard how awesome the forks were for creating balance and for relieving anxiety/stress.
After the first treatment, the client felt her headaches had eased and her anxiety diminished, although her rash was still presenting. During this treatment, Karen had suggested that she 'get in touch' with the unexplored anger that she was carrying, by acknowledging it and consciously releasing it in a functional manner.
Unfortunately, her client ignored Karen's suggestion and over a period of time, the stress headaches returned.
This is absolute proof that in order to be healed, you must become a part of the healing process. Being present in the healing/reading is what helps to initiate and encourage change, growth and wellness.

A Tale of Two Couples
Healing is a matter of choice. The choice belongs solely to the person who needs the healing. Recently we visited two couples to help them find balance and healing within their lives. Although they didn’t know each other, they did live in the same area. Both couples contacted us, and it was a stroke of luck that they lived not far from each other. We spent one day with each, before heading home.
Although they have agreed for us to blog about their experiences, we will be using false names to protect their identity.
We arrived at couple #1 on Saturday morning and they were extremely enthusiastic about the healing journey they were about to embark on. Jon and Jan had been feeling quite down lately and had lost their motivation. Certain experiences had made it difficult for them to see the positive within their lives and it was affecting their relationship as a result.
After looking at the soul-ular memories they had brought in with them from past lifetimes, we were able to see that some were causing similar problems and issues in this one. It was a relief for them to realise that they could integrate these lessons into their current lives. The healing/clearing also helped them to understand each other, as well as themselves, a little better.
The sight of them, arms around each other, as they waved us goodbye was such an awesome feeling. We had helped create change for these beautiful souls and they had embraced it totally and unconditionally.
The next day was very different. Dave had been the one to contact us, as he was worried about his partner, Doris, and the impact recent events had had on their relationship. The same, and yet not the same, scenario as the day before.
As we prepared to start the healing, Doris got cold feet. She decided she didn’t want to have a healing after all. It was a little embarrassing, standing there, shuffling our feet, while they ‘discussed’ what was to happen next. Doris was insistent that she didn’t need a healing after all, and that she was doing fine, thank you very much. Although we could have persuaded her to take part, there was no point. If a person isn’t fully present within the healing process; unless they are a willing participant, everyone would just be wasting their time. Sending healing would be like putting a bandaid on a dent in your car if you are not prepared to at least receive it.
Dave still went ahead with his healing and was able to gain insight into a past life he and Doris had shared.
It is always an honour to be a part of someone’s journey, to help them heal the past and utilise those lessons learnt in the past in a way that assists them in this one. It is not up to us to decide who needs healing and who doesn’t, nor is healing something we need to push someone into doing, regardless of their wishes.

March Travels
As a part of our Healing Journeys, we travel from place to place, meeting new people and helping them to embrace who they are, who they were and who they can be.
Last weekend we visited an amazing group; three generations from one family. What a privilege and an honour to help them connect with their past lives, see the connections within this lifetime and integrate all of that within their family dynamic.
It was awesome to discover the connections they had had in times gone by, why they sometimes reacted the way they did and why they felt a specific way about a person, place, event or situation. Some of the visions were extremely profound, moving and some incredible healing took place for all.
Afterwards, we looked at their Numerological vibrations and Astrological charts, to clarify what they had come in to learn and what they had brought in with them from past lives. This was a wonderful time of hilarity and validation, as other members of the family were quick to agree with what we were saying.
We were treated like part of the family and it was such a wonderful and uplifting experience. We are keen for our next healing journey which takes place in a weeks time.
Each one is so special and unique....It's no wonder we love what we do!!

The Pain We Carry
We all have struggle and trauma in our lives. We all have emotional pain, past issues and grief. If we don't address these emotions or feel we are 'heard' they can manifest into excess weight. 'Weight' is a great barrier against hidden or repressed pain. It is a protection of sorts that we feel comfortably uncomfortable behind.
For example, when I worked at a bank, I had a manager who was a bully. She would harangue and hassle me, as well as trying to make me look incompetent in front of customers. Over a period of a few months, my stomach began to swell. I couldn't comfortably wear my uniform, and although ill fitting clothes weren't the reason why I left, they were the reminder I needed that I was 'holding myself in'.
And so it is with many of us. It isn't so much about the food, diet and exercise, they are merely symptoms of what is really going on.
When we are feeling less than, or dealing with emotions we would rather ignore, we tend to eat differently. We lose our energy levels and don't feel like exercising. We eat to fill the 'hole within' or to replace what we want in our lives. We feel lethargic and find no reason to do anything or the joy to try. In the social climate we are experiencing, there are a lot of people losing their jobs, homes and relationships. This doesn't help our view of who we are. If we don't care about ourselves, we figure no one else does and we act accordingly. We forget to nurture and honour the divine being we are.
If we look at this as being our 'pain bag', we begin packing all those hurtful experiences and painful emotions away into our bag. Sometimes the bag is way too heavy to carry, so we begin to load up another. Or we can just cram that first bag until it bursts, which often results in an emotional explosion that takes out anything and everything in its path. Afterwards we feel guilty and remorseful about our actions and our words, so we pack more pain into that broken bag. This time the bag may not last as long or be as sturdy. It may leak a bit, and we will have random emotional outbursts that surprise and bewilder those around us.
Those emotions and feelings are meant to be released. We are not meant to just let things happen and bottle up our feelings, hurt and grief. The more we cram into our pain bag, the more symptoms we begin to experience. It might start with our weight, then headaches, lower back pain, hip pain, arthritis, asthma, all of which are emotional symptoms that something isn't right within our energetic and physical fields.
A few months ago, I was visiting a close friend and we were talking about all the things that made us both unhappy. We sat there until we could think of nothing more to add. It was an awesome release of sorts. We told each other things we had never told anyone else, as well as sharing mutual grief and pain. We discussed how often we weren't heard, when others had dished out platitudes, instead of really listening to what we had to say.
Over the next couple of days, I did healing on her (which as you know, always results in healing for all concerned) as we continued to 'let it all out'. It was so liberating and freeing. On the third day we both talked about how much weight we had lost since I had arrived. Our skin didn't feel so tight in our 'rounder' areas and we felt better about ourselves. As we released all that emotion and pain, we had also allowed the pain bag we each carried to reduce in size - and we could feel it physically as well as energetically.
Healing ourselves is not about taking medication or changing our diet and way of life. It is about addressing what is the real problem and working through it. Happiness is an inside job. We can't just wave a magic wand...and it is so. There has to be time and conscious effort involved. Have you ever wondered why most diets don't work? Well, they do for a while, but then, sometimes it just stops working or the weight comes back - well that is because we haven't addressed where it all started.
Now you don't have to spend three days talking and getting healings to start to see changes in your life, but you do need to consciously create the change through healing and mindset.
When we are 'present' in our healing we are able to do great things for ourselves.

We all have struggle and trauma in our lives. We all have emotional pain, past issues and grief. If we don't address these emotions or feel we are 'heard' they can manifest into excess weight. 'Weight' is a great barrier against hidden or repressed pain. It is a protection of sorts that we feel comfortably uncomfortable behind.
For example, when I worked at a bank, I had a manager who was a bully. She would harangue and hassle me, as well as trying to make me look incompetent in front of customers. Over a period of a few months, my stomach began to swell. I couldn't comfortably wear my uniform, and although ill fitting clothes weren't the reason why I left, they were the reminder I needed that I was 'holding myself in'.
And so it is with many of us. It isn't so much about the food, diet and exercise, they are merely symptoms of what is really going on.
When we are feeling less than, or dealing with emotions we would rather ignore, we tend to eat differently. We lose our energy levels and don't feel like exercising. We eat to fill the 'hole within' or to replace what we want in our lives. We feel lethargic and find no reason to do anything or the joy to try. In the social climate we are experiencing, there are a lot of people losing their jobs, homes and relationships. This doesn't help our view of who we are. If we don't care about ourselves, we figure no one else does and we act accordingly. We forget to nurture and honour the divine being we are.
