If man’s body seems to you a wonderous work, consider that it is nothing in comparison to his soul. In truth, whatever the man, He contains always an element of the divine.
Leonardo Divinci

Hi there,

I hope you are enjoying life and the late summer sunshine.  We’ve had a busy but enjoyable month of September so far, hope the same can be said for you ...

We welcomed Tom Wynn back for another successful and entertaining ECT training on Bank Holiday Monday, some rather interesting treatments, read Mary Eaden Parker’s testimonial, a very powerful EmoTrance Training, that could only be topped by our first retreat a couple of weekends ago

... Our Reiki Trainings are always small intimate affairs to ensure individual attention, however, another dimension was definitely added in September when we undertook our first Lake District Retreat.  It was wonderful!  The indescribable beauty of that breathtaking landscape, the power of the initiations at the top of a waterfall, and the special energetic experience of sending Reiki from a sacred site at sunset are something that none of us would ever wish to forget.  I feel honoured, and humbled to have led such an event, and to have shared my most favourite place with such lovely people.

Our next Lake District Retreat will take place over the weekend of November 4th/5th for Reiki II Training.  Others are planned for 2007.  Please contact us for details and availability

And this was the response from one of the participants …
Day 1

Two angels called on me today.
They said would I like to go away?
To a place of peace, which was full of love.
Could I believe it, I wasn't sure,
But it sounded good so I decided to go.
We arrived at a place full of beauty where the mountains met the lakes,
And the sun shone brightly.
I still wasn't sure at this point what to think…
Later that night two more angels joined us and the family was complete.
They said tomorrow I would get my treat…

Day 2
The angels took me up to a fresh running waterfall
Where I was told to close my eyes.
One of the angels blew in my ear
From that moment on it all became clear.
A realisation of love from them all, and I felt the power of God at my side.
The healing hands that followed filled my soul.
Something I will never forget.

Day 3
We laughed and we joked,
We gave love and we felt love.
What a fantastic experience was had by all.
But alas, it had to come to an end.
I do hope those angels call for me again.

Namaste,
Karen

I’ve been inspired this month by a couple of encounters and a piece from relax 7.com, so I’m sharing my thoughts with you, both youngsters and the not so young - in body at least.  I make a habit of asking people older than me what age they are in their head? And, do you know, I’ve never met anyone yet who is more than 27 years old!

“If you are looking for perfection in life don’t choose granite or marble.
It is their imperfections that make them beautiful.
In much the same way as the imperfections in people make them so very beautiful”
Stuart Vardy

What fabulous sentiments! Which got me to thinking about the climate we are exposed to where youth, stick thin and unattainable perfection are the order of the day. Let’s look for delight in those around us that is much more than skin deep and celebrate those “imperfections”.

Whilst in Ireland recently I was fortunate to make the aquaintance of a stunningly lady.  Her beauty and grace touched both males and females alike.  Her smile was like sunshine and her eyes like the stars.  This was not a youthful, taut bodied female, she was mature, and gentle and radiant, someone to aspire to.

We encounter so many people, of both genders, who feel insecure and unhappy about their size, their shape and all their perceived imperfections that it was wonderful to connect with someone past her youthful bloom whose inner beauty is so evident. 

And thank goodness that commonsense is at last beginning to prevail so far as the pressures placed upon us by the bombardment of media messages and stereotypes.  A new anti “anti-ageing” movement has begun gathering pace in the US, and Dove’s global Campaign for Real Beauty offers a view of beauty that all women can own and enjoy everyday.  It aims to promote a broader, healthier, more democratic view of beauty. And change the sad fact that 90% of all women 15-64 worldwide want to change at least one aspect of their physical appearance (with body weight ranking the highest), and, 67% of all women 15 to 64 withdraw from life-engaging activities due to feeling badly about their looks (among them things like giving an opinion, going to school, and going to the doctor).

Age Gracefully

There is nothing more inevitable than the greying of hair and the crinkling of skin. Resisting it is like trying to hold back the tide of the ocean. Accepting it is the way into a graceful life and the possibility of true leisure!

Our lives are mostly without leisure as we succumb to the marketing men and their determination to convince us that the tide can be beaten back, at the very least, kept at bay. As a consequence we count the greys and measure the length and depth of the wrinkles.

We spend our time and attention on the surface of our forms, and create the habits of anxiety and worry as they inevitably deteriorate.

But when we truly know ourselves as spirit within the form, all those subtle tensions are dissolved. We never age, never grow old, never die - only our bodies do.

Knowing ourselves as we truly are, is the doorway to freedom and to the graceful acceptance that we are destined to inhabit and play many roles in many bodies. Is that not both a liberating and a relaxing insight? If you play with it, explore it for truth, meditate on it, seriously give it 'house room' in your head, you may actually experience yourself as a free spirit. www.relax7.com

That’s my soapbox bit done for this month folks. It is possible to work very successfully with the underlying issues of body image using Meridian Energy Techniques, however, isn’t it great to sometimes to relax and just be us, knowing that we are loved for being who we are, and not for how we look?

The 58 Day Migraine versus EmoTrance, Mary Eaden Parker

At the beginning of July I awoke in the night with a terrific headache.  I took the customary painkillers to no avail.  I went to work as usual and within an hour I walked out, unable to deal with this pain.  This action is so unlike me. Later that day the pain was so bad my husband took me to the A&E department of our hospital.  From then the medical treatment stepped into action.  I attended A&E twice more.  I visited my doctor and within ten days was sitting in front of the Consultant Neurologist. 

The pain was ceaseless and debilitating.  Doctors, more doctors, medication, I could not have had more attention.  I was admitted to the Neuro Unit of a seriously competent hospital.  More medication.  And still the overwhelming pain.  I was C.T. scanned and had a lumbar puncture.  The staff were amazing but they did not know what was causing the pain.  When I was discharged the hospital suggested that alternative therapies might be helpful…..
