A card for the children! I drew an Angel card for the Holistic Children & Family Services for 2009 from Doreen Virtue’s Healing with the Angels oracle cards
Body Care The Angels urge you to care for your physical body. You are asked to eat healthy foods to exercise regularly and to avoid toxins. This card represents the way forward for us and our children. As parents and caregivers we buy the food to give to our children. Let’s choose foods that nourish and foods that replenish and restore energy levels instead of foods that deplete and diminish. Let’s ease them away from their computers, mobile phones and interactive games and reconnect them with nature by taking them for walks in the park or the woods to explore the natural world of trees, plants, insects, birds and animals. To play, laugh, shout and sing to their hearts content and by doing this for our children we do this for ourselves we rediscover the child within. Angela Goffe
A reminder of the HCFS Self-Empowerment Journey At the HCFS we are committed to bettering the lives of children and their caregivers, we believe that in working holisitcally we can ‘heal’ the group energy known as ‘family’. We know that each family member, whether child or parent reflects to their particular family unit ‘forgotten’ aspects of self. These ‘forgotten’ parts communciate through fear-based responses, jealousy, anger, frustration etc. It is easy to see ourselves as separate to other members of the family, to verbally correct the child’s behaviour when we have ‘forgotten’ they reflect back to us our ‘forgotten’ parts. Through the HCFS practises we encourage all members of the family to be responsible for themselves, for their choices and actions, moving away from a world of blame (of self and others) and into a world of ‘self ’ responsibility, to encourage a response that enables the person to feel empowered. The winning formula, tried and tested again and again, used by the HCFS-qualified practitioners and taught in the HCFS Practitioner Courses is the recognised ‘Self-empowerment Journey’. The journey contains four steps: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Self-awareness Self-regulation Self-confidence Self-empowerment
The ‘Self-empowerment Journey’ is easy to use by all members of the family and all ages, it can be used individually or as a family group, you simply pick a subject that you or your family wishes to heal and begin the ‘Self-empowerment Journey’. If you would like more information on how to apply this to your family please contact your local ‘Living Soul’ centre HCFS Practitioner, or for training contact Jacqueline Phillips on Jacqueline.Phillips@ inthepresenceofangels.org.uk

A HIGHER PERSPECTIVE ON
Tarot Cards
by Angela Goffe
THE MAGICIAN – The second card of the major arcana Numerology: 1 The second card of the major arcane is’ The Magician’. As you engage with the magician the red of his cloak enfolds you. It activates the base chakra - the who am I? The Yellow ignites life force energy, your divine spark. The tools on the table represent the elements earth, wind, fire and water. Allow yourself to be drawn to the magicians right hand held high above his head. He is holding a crystal wand channeling divine energy from above through the physical body to the Earth. As the universal energy flows through him the tools on the table become energy tools to change energy dynamics. Everything is energy! Everything can be read, healed and transmuted. The magician is a powerful healer! Take up the stance of the magician, place a crystal wand in your right hand, connect to Source and feel divine energy flowing through you to heal the physical emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. Connect to the numerology of this card and feel at peace at-ONEment with Source. This card aligns with Ascended Master Merlin.

WHAT DOES YOUR LOGO SAY ABOUT YOUR COMPANY? Each month we bring you a well-known logo with a different perspective. Looking symbolically at a logo shows how that company is portraying itself to the subconscious, symbolic minds of its consumers. What is it saYing that it will do for them? Is it promising things that are left unfulfilled or is it just being irrelevant. We view each logo impartially, not thinking of the company
and it’s activities. We read it like a tarot card, just looking at the symbolism. We allow ourselves to be there, fully present with the logo and then see what effect its energy Has on us. If you would like a logo analysis like this for your company contact your local Living Soul Centre who can liaise with our designers or undertake the analysis themselves.
ipod, iphone, macbook, nano, shuffle, touch, etc etc, yada yada. you’ve all got one, and if you haven’t you wish you did. it’s that simple. perceived as a revolution in making technology cooler than it was with slick interfaces and designs. technology that is a pleasure, rather than a chore to use. but the logo is decades old and can show us more than is on the surface. so what is behind this iconic brand?
we see a big bite out of the logo and can see ourselves as people take bites out of us, demanding our attention here and there. it can feel stressful, but if we look at the apple we notice that the whole point of an apple is to have bites taken out of it. that’s what it is there for. the stalk at the top is the spiritual awareness, leaning over towards the bit to keep the balance. wherever someone is taking a bite, we shine our relaxed awareness on that particular thing in order to light it up.
apple asks us to relax. it says, ‘why are you stressing to do that when it could be a fun, invigorating, pleasurable thing to do?’ Apple makes us aware that we have been sabotaging our own experiences by stressing out about them! it says, ‘a relaxed professional is still professional. he is just also relaxed at the same time.’ take your cue from apple to drop your shoulders for a moment and exhale. in fact, when you approach your tasks in a state of relaxed awareness you might find that you actually work better. you get moer acheived... and if not... i’m sure it’ll get done tomorrow. perhaps it was a task for tomorrow all along.
the apple is full and tasty and ready to be eaten. we are full and ready to work. we are at our most ripe right here right now and we are fully capable of executing any job or demand that is placed on us effectively. this apple does not sit heay on the ground, but it is stable. it does not deny its fate, but prepares for it and welcomes it. it accepts the bite on its own terms. think about that next time you bite an apple. the apple is letting you bite into it. it saw you coming before you did and it was ready, with a relaxed awareness, to be bitten on its own terms. nobody elses. relaxed, empowered and having fun.

The Angels have sent me to Dubai! part 2, by Alison Ward
Last month we heard about the journey that promted Alison Ward to realise that she had to go to Duabi and heard how her first visit went. In this issue we hear about Alison and jayne’s second journey. So the journey continues... Jayne and I went back to Dubai the following November. Another successful trip, but it had a sour note to it. The person who arranged the first trip also insisted on arranging the follow up trip but something just didn’t feel right. Her and her partner had decided to do the Angel Therapy course that I had done previously with Doreen Virtue. They both decided they also wanted to pass on the gift of angelic communication. Wonderful; it would mean they could carry on the angel light work in Dubai… so I thought! Strangely I wasn’t looking forward to this visit, I couldn’t put my finger on it but something felt very uneasy. I would sit and ask for guidance but nothing came. The night before I was due to leave my husband said, ‘it’s not too late to cancel you know Al’. I couldn’t cancel, as I just couldn’t bring myself to let people down. We had a whole load of people booked on for healing and reading sessions plus we were going to hold an angel awareness day. How could I let them down? I was starting to give my power away! I pushed these nagging feelings away and met Jayne at the airport ready for
take off. We enjoyed the journey... and the champagne (the drink of the angels we joked). After arriving in the early hours Brian (not his real name) collected us from the airport and took us to our accommodation. Brian was the partner of the lady who I shall call Tracey who was the organiser. When we met I felt a huge energy shift and I know he felt it too. The energy had changed between us; it felt a lower energy which made both Jayne and I feel uncomfortable. Again I gave my power away by ignoring it and pushing it away.
I was beginning to see how it really felt to give my power away The next day was a rest day where we could acclimatise ourselves to the heat and get over the jet lag ready to start work the following day. Brian and Tracey had given us a mobile whereby we could contact them if we needed anything or so we thought! The mobile was constantly ringing; one or other would keep asking questions, advice, ‘what do you think of this’, moaning about other ex-pats etc. I started to feel like an agony aunt on-tap. My uneasiness began to raise its head once more. I didn’t want to upset either of them so again I pushed it way as I did my power. I actually began to feel physically weak. ‘What’s going on?’ I would ask myself. I continued to ignore the answer. After a fitful night sleep where I dreamt about being attacked, Jayne and I set off for work at the salon where we were based. What I didn’t expect and really threw
me off guard was that when we arrived Tracey was there to greet us. We went to the room from where we did wonderful work on our last visit and we felt it welcome us. Then ‘BANG!’ the energy that initially welcomed us crashed to the floor when Tracey delivered a list of tasks she wished us to do: give us her and Brian’s business cards so they could get clients for their angel readings; hand out flyers on their first angel day (to take place a week after ours); sell Tracey’s hand made jewellery; sell her mum’s angel paintings etc. The list was endless! I stood with my jaw dropped in total bewilderment. What was the purpose of this trip I asked myself ? The answer came straight away… to bring more love and light to Dubai. To help the souls there who needed spiritual nourishment. Why were we being asked to push services and products we knew nothing about? I can’t recommend people if I don’t know how they work. All these niggles started to build up causing me doubt and even fear. I questioned why Jayne and I were there and started to feel cross. ‘Why was this happening to us?’, I questioned. I just want to get on with the work I love. Just leave me alone to get on with it. Now I was beginning to see how it really felt to give my power away. I had reverted back to an old pattern of fear, of not being good enough and doubt started to build. After a shaky start the love and support of Jayne buoyed my faith and I started to flow once more as the clients started to arrive and I went into ‘the zone’ as I call it. I am truly at my happiest when I channel whether it be through readings, healing or teaching. I soon returned to my bliss state and forgot about the demands.
In fact I didn’t sell anything. I was in the flow and didn’t even think about selling this painting or giving that flyer. I wasn’t here to hard sell I was here to help awaken souls to love and light and that was what Jayne and I did. The story continued and we went home again knowing it was a success but also feeling very saddened by the actions of Tracey and Brian. There are more stories I could share but I think you get the gist of what happened.
We were here to help awaken souls to love and light and we did The whole experience affected me for weeks. I just couldn’t seem to get over the hurt I felt from this ‘angel couple’. Surely there is no need for competition and greed. I know now that when one is in their uniqueness all these lower vibrational energies just disappear as it all flows very beautifully and naturally. So why were they pushy and competitive? Hey, let’s stop there. Who am I to judge? So all in all I felt that my days in Dubai were over. I had absolutely no plans to return to the place where wealth is everywhere but often accompanied by greed. Little was I to know that I was to return a year later. We were told the reason why Jayne was ‘fasttracked’ when we returned home. Jayne was diagnosed with Breast cancer and was due a mastectomy in February. What a blow, and how ironic! Jayne and I started up the monthly breast cancer healing clinics the year before. We held them from my treatment room and they were proving to be a great success particularly with the local support group ‘Breast Friends’. I was really upset for Jayne. What was in store for her? Did she even have a future? All those thoughts came up and I pushed them away to summon up strength and support for my dear friend. I had already lost a friend to cancer in 1995 and really didn’t want to lose another! Jayne was and still is amazing (I’m delighted to say). She
went through surgery, chemo and radiotherapy with pure grit and determination plus a healthy dose of humour. Shortly after her treatment had ended she went on holiday and texted me to say she was staying near a nudist beach. ‘Oh no! I’ll have to get my t*t out!’ (Notice it was expressed in the singular and not the plural!) She exclaimed. I roared with laughter at her resolve and inner strength. So how did I go back to Dubai? Well, I was called by the Ascension Reiki and this time I did not resist. I first got the call three years previously but I questioned why I was to re-learn Reiki as I have been teaching it since 1999. Meditating and asking for guidance once more I was told to learn this newly evolved Reiki with Jacqueline Phillips, the lady who channelled it and also the Founder of In The Presence of Angels. So I learnt the Reiki and it settled within me. My journey went further as I bought a Living Soul Centre licence and have since opened my centre in Solihull. I was guided to take this beautiful healing tool to Dubai. This time I was in my power and nothing and no-one was going to take that from me. Someone nearly did, but I recognised the signs and spoke my truth. With that sorted I set off to Dubai on my own feeling very empowered. I wonder what the theme
of this trip was going to be I asked. The answer was soon to come. It was about women giving their power away. I really wanted to enjoy the flight so I made sure I got to the airport on time so I could get a window seat. I would have loved to have been able to fly busi-
ness class, but it was not to be this time so I was in economy. I knew the flight would be full; it always was but I did secretly ask my angels to give me a free seat next to me so I could spread out on the 7-hour flight. Guess what? The aircraft was full bar one place. Yep, you got it, next to me. I giggled to myself as I stretched out and perused the menu. This was going to be fun! After a great flight I arrived at Dubai airport feeling very tired and just wanted to get to my hotel room, I was staying at a friend’s villa the following day but as I arrived in the early hours I booked an hotel where I could just rest for a few hours, shower and get a taxi to the villa where I was going to stay for the duration of my stay. I would also be teaching from there and doing my readings. I got through customs. Easy! Got to the taxi. Easy! No being pulled into cabs by eager drivers. Easy! Then I arrived at my hotel. Not easy! Oh my, what a shock. It was based in the most horrible part of Dubai; dirty, ugly and awful heavy, low energy. My taxi driver didn’t want to take me to the hotel and pretended his English was not fluent. Something was wrong. At this point as I asserted myself to this male driver I regained my power. ‘You will take me to my hotel or I will not pay you.’ I bravely stated. And that’s what he did. Not happily I must admit, but he did drag my case along the pavement with me trailing behind. I was aware that the energy around me was quite threatening. There were lots of the imported Indian workers (employed them to build the huge buildings sprouting up everywhere; offering a very low wage, £50 per week). Many of them appeared to be drunk or high. I asked for protection, well I didn’t ask, I insisted. My energy field expanded and I grew tall. Quite an achievement for a 5ft 3 shorty! As I arrived at the hotel I was greeted by two gentlemen who kept asking if I worked in Dubai. ‘No!’ I STATED ‘I’m just staying for a few hours then going to my friend’s.’
They acted a bit odd, but I didn’t want to go into their oddity, I needed my sleep. After being shown my room the young man said, ‘here we keep key on outside door!’ ‘What?’, I asked. He repeated: ‘here we keep key on outside door!’ What did he mean? This went on for several minutes, or at least that was how it felt. ‘No,’ I exclaimed, ‘here my key goes on inside door!’ With that I pushed him out, sat on the bed and asked what on Earth (or even in Dubai) is going on? I decided to freshen up before I retired to bed. It was now 2am and I was due to start teaching at 10am so sleep was on my mind. I went into the bathroom and swilled my face. As I grabbed for the hand towel I noticed that there were no hand or bath towels; only face cloths (or flannels as we call them at home). I joked to myself that they were barely big enough to cover my bits! (Apologies for the crudeness but that’s me). It then started to dawn on me. I was in a working lady’s hotel, a brothel! Why is this happening I questioned? I didn’t need to wait for the answer it came quickly even in my tired state. The answer was channelled to me “WOMEN ARE GIVING THEIR POWER AWAY” Now I understood; I gave my power away on my last trip to Dubai. Now I was put in a situation where women give their power away to men. I didn’t judge for that was not for me, I simply understood and knew and accepted that was the role of this trip; the theme. After a light and fitful rest (sleep it was not!) I awakened to the sound of the local mosque calling for prayers. I quickly showered and air dryed my body; even I accepted that the face cloths would not dry my size 14 body! I ran out of the hotel, well, limbered out as fast as I could and realised getting a taxi may be difficult. I am so blessed... a taxi pulled up with a lady passenger inside and told me I wouldn’t be able to get a taxi there. His passenger had waited over an hour for this taxi. Bless the driver he saw an angel in distress and
rescued me. Straight to my friends villa. What a difference, as the electric gates opened I was privy to a wonderful site of a beautiful villa and grounds with its own pool! See the picture below. I had two cups of coffee (yes I know I was teaching Reiki where you normally de-tox, but I needed to stay alert for my teaching). My fellow angels (students) roared with laughter at my tale and couldn’t quite believe where I had stayed just a few hours prior.
What a treat was in store. We had a wonderful few days with me teaching Reiki Masters to these lovely awakened souls. There were four of them and they each represented a sector of In The Presence of Angels Living Soul centres: Sue represented the business sector, a professional life/business coach who had a regular radio slot; Najat, a governor represented the holistic children & family sector; Jo represented the therapeutic health and beauty sector and Stella the host who was all four in different ways including of course the education sector as they were all learning Reiki to Master-Teacher level. We all laughed, cried, shared our stories and discovered our uniqueness. Stella’s cook created wonderful food for us to share. Her maid tidied up after us. I had a fast-track lesson in learning how to receive. I did not wash a plate or tidy up. At first I felt uncomfortable in not being able to help, but Stella was a dear angel and kept repeating that I was her guest and it was an honour to have me in her home with her beautiful three children. I first met Stella on my first visit to Dubai. She came to the angel day at the end of the trip and I noticed she cried through most of it, a true sign of
someone releasing from their old ways into the new. I worked hard without any time off until my last day when I went with the newly attuned masters to a 90-minute yoga session with an Indian yogi. Wow! I got into position I didn’t know existed all with the help of the wonderful yogi who simply but confidently pushed me into positions. I then realised that due to his confidence in me my mind ceased to affect my movement and my body flowed. Considering I worked hard all week with little sleep (I was high with the Reiki) and felt incredible when we came out of the yoga centre. We then shopped, had lunch and I ended my stay with some pampering beauty treatments. As I returned to Stella’s home we ate a lovely meal then sat outside in the warm evening and shared a bottle of wine. Stella proceeded to tell me how the angel day had changed her life and the journey she had been on since that day, a separation and subsequent divorce. Her belief in angels had given her strength to leave an unhappy marriage (women giving power away). This theme also continued to show itself in the readings I did. Lots of beautiful women in situations where they had become disempowered. As I allowed myself to listen to Stella I was told very loudly ‘Alison this is your gift, own it, do not hide away from it. It will help many, many people’. I then realised that I was no longer going to hide my gift. I am now in my gift, my uniqueness and I, with the help of my fellow angels at head office of In The Presence of Angels, am heading up the Global Living Soul Network and sharing my gift with the world.
So if you want an Angel Awareness Day or wish to learn Ascension Reiki in your town or your country, I’ll be there, in my power and in my joy as I follow my uniqueness. Contact Alison.ward@inthepresenceofangels.org.uk. In gratitude xx
The Locksmith a poem by Karrie Walker I watched her Hold it in her hand Cold metal A familiar shape But blank And as her fingers Spread warmth And understanding She began to carve And form The changeling. Such sensitivity She knew where to rise And where to fall Jagged edges Taking form. She knew so much more Than me And as the sparks flew Passion rose Sparking Fresh And free.
When she was done We held it together But it was her right To place it in the lock And slowly turn Unblock The block. The door was opened And we found ourselves In a scene More beautiful Than the most Beautiful Dream. There we danced We talked Romanced We laughed And cried And planned All those things That love Demands.
In that time She taught me too To shape and chisel Cut and hue To file and follow Form and hone And I made something Of my own. Too soon It was our time To leave And accept It was not Out time To breathe. But Thankyou Bless you I’m sorry Please Forgive me I love you For your gift My keys.
Ascension Reiki Attunements at Solihull Living Soul Centre The Solihull Living Soul Centre undertook the first of many Ascension Reiki Attunements in January with a small group of six. The attunement went beautifully and here follow some comments from the students. Helen Burnett’s journey into knowing their journey until now. How- My journey has just begun. I will let you ever we all saw the gifts each had. We know where it takes me.” Helen BurAscension Reiki had a respect for our own uniqueness, nett. “Through circumstances, good and bad, I arrived at the Living Soul Centre in Solihull on a cold winter’s day in January to be attuned to Ascension Reiki. I arrived abruptly, without understanding why I was there, what to expect and where it would take me. So what did I learn? “The word ‘acknowledge’ came up again and again during these three unique, unforgettable days. We learnt a great dea lot of ‘knowledge’ was passed down to us. But how to explain this? We were not learning an exact science for an exam. It was the knowledge of love and understanding, of love and light. The definition of acknowledge is to agree to the truth, to admit it is true and express appreciation that it is true. We truly did this. “Five people joined together to be attuned to Ascension Reiki. Had we passed each other on the street, we may have acknowledged each other, glanced up or walked past each other. But in the Living Soul Centre we came together as one. We ‘saw’ into each others’ souls. We loved each other unconditionally, without even knowing our middle names. It was a unique experience, to feel so greatly for your fellow student without
experiences, inner most thoughts and feelings.
Barry Clay’s views of the at“Our great teacher, Alison Ward, opened tunement the course with an acknowledgement of our blocks. Call them fears, obstructions, we needed to deal with these, to show them respect, but show them for what they are, our own restrictions. We as individuals can change these and open up to let the flow of energy through. My own block? It was something I didn’t think I had in me. I was even quite annoyed to think that I had such a block. I wasn’t dealing with it and it was stopping the flow of energy and stopping me from accelerating through my journey. I spent an uncomfortable night mulling this over. But once I had acknowledged this, it was no longer a problem. I had imprisoned myself in this feeling and now I had opened up and let it go.
“To call the whole experience beautiful, tranquil, serene, would not do it justice. It was unique to each and every one of us. And this is only the beginning. Ascension Reiki is not something you learn and think about every now and then. It’s something deep in us, to call upon in every situation in life. It is in our soul. Reiki is food for the soul.
“History was made when the very first ever course took place at Solihull in the new Living Soul Centre. Over a wonderful few days we shed a few tears,enjoyed each others company, bathed in wonderful meditation’s with Archangel Uriel, Metatron, Michael & Melchizedek and basked in the sheer joy of learning together and attaining our cherished Level 1 & 2 Ascension Reiki. “Words cannot fully describe the powerful attunements, the extraordinary love shown to us from universal source which closeted us all of the way forward. We were ably assisted in the actual attunement by Ascension Reiki Master Michelle and the ever bubbly Alison Ward guiding us forward with words of very special wisdom from her personal and ever flowing knowledge base. It was indeed an occasion to remember and one that will certainly be repeated again and again at the Solihull centre. We came through those doors as shaky students and emerged as beautifully re-
alised souls prepared for our work in spreading the light forward further and further. “Everyone had their aura scanned on day one to detect any areas that needed special attention. We all shared and respected our colleagues, helping them via words, hugs and support to get to the ultimate goal of attunement. The Angel’s sent channeled messages through Alison to each and every one of us, succinct but sent with love to push our personal boundaries and comfort zones. The messages had one thing in common and that was to expedite the Ascension process. “A few years ago who would have thought of level 1 & 2 in a few days? How things have changed as the spiritual evolution to a higher consciousness beams and fast tracks us forward in preparation for the winter solstice of the auspicious 2012. “We were urged towards groups, groups, groups and yet more groups by Uriel! The gazebo effect will ripple in the flowing water and gather momentum, soon the light will be so bright that it will be a searchlight across nations, those who are now pressing for-
ward are the pioneers who will achieve all of this. How exciting is that? “From small acorns has evolved the ‘In the Presence of Angel’s’ master plan, the network of attunements, the encouragement to get more Master’s on board and teachers to fulfill these important tasks has never been more important and acute than the present time. It is also the right time to establish these workshops in different areas like Solihull and outlying districts. There is much hard work still to be done, but it will be achieved as it is being done by the ministry of Angel’s who work with those very special earthy people prepared to move forward.
joy and vice versa. It is about love and oneness. What does not serve will fall away. Everyone will be in their uniqueness. It is imperative that everyone is doing what they love. Love is the way in all things. If you love what you do, you love you. If you love you, you love what you do.
“Despite the hard work the weekend showed that the whole process can be real fun. We all shared that joy of knowing that every little step forward is a giant one for the saving of the universe and a respect for Mother Earth, as we unite the light will glow even more into the expectant Mayan calender.” Barry Clay.

“People will be moving, leaving, and coming, going towards and away. There is a shift of energy. Like will attract like. If you are residing in the higher energy you will not be able to tolerate the lower energy for long. You will move. If you are of lower energy and cannot even see there is another way, you will stay there. You are one, so eventually all will be at the same point. Until then, there will be many partings and changes.
“This is a time of oneness. Everybody will be with people who bring them
Love, love, love, be love, see love, enjoy love. Love is all there is.”
“Twin flames will merge. IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY NOT WITH ONE THEN YOU WILL BE. If you are with a twin flame then you will become closer. Love will be reciprocated and there will be no struggle, no fights, no defence just a deep knowing, respect and love.

My Experience of Living Soul Therapy by Maxine Swann
My name is Maxine Swann. I’m a registered Homeopath, Indian Head Massage & Angelic Reiki practitioner. In December I completed the Living Soul Therapy Diploma course with Jacqueline Phillips and Angela Goffe and what an experience that was! I’m still swinging from the chandelier! All I can say is, be prepared to have your socks blown off and your life changed in the most positive way possible! At the end of our first session, Jacqui encouraged us all to “be a master”. She tolds us to ‘master energy’, which sounds terribly difficult and technical, like something requiring a degree in quantum physics perhaps, but it isn’t. By the end of that first session I realised that it is, in fact, the simplest thing in the world, because everything is energy and everything you do is an ‘interplay’ of energy. You ‘manipulate’ energy every second of your life without being concious of it, in your relationships with people, places and things. So just imagine how much more powerful it is when you do it conciously, in a state of unconditional love and for the highest possible healing.
“What an experience... I’m still swinging from the chandelier!” Jacqui also said to ‘know that you can do it (master energy), it’s easy!’ Once you allow yourself to grasp this idea and relax with it, you’re half way to understanding the essence of Living Soul Therapy. At the end of day one I went away inspired and motivated to ‘play’
with energy. I started raising the energy in rooms at home, simply through intention. I found that I could ‘shift’ the energy around people and diffuse negativity by asking the permission of their higher selves and making a connection with them in love and compassion. All this you will be taught or rather, reminded of. You will also be shown how, because everything is energy, everything has the potential to change, grow and heal. You will remember that intention is everything - we create, heal, teach and guide through the power of intention. During the course you are introduced to the ‘tools’ of Living Soul Therapy that help you to ‘read’ your client’s energy, locate blockages and non-serving energy and release them, so that the client can begin to live at their highest potential. Angela showed me how these tools inter-relate and weave together to produce a wonderful ‘tapestry’ of the client’s energy field The second session took us further into the meaning of Living Soul Therapy. The tools help you to gain access to the client’s aura and release those things that are holding them back, but this is only the beginning of a journey of deeper self-awareness for the client. As a homeopath, I have found that the greatest healing takes place when the client ‘takes responsiblity’ for themselves and their condition. It’s not about ‘blame’, but about self-awareness. It is the place where the client can see for themselves the self-limiting actions or mindsets that prevent healing from taking place and the soul from truly expressing itself. Living Soul Therapy allows you the
therapist to guide your client to this place of clarity. Even better, every single Living Soul session offers you, the therapist, clarity about your own life and purpose. After every reading you are encouraged to ask yourself - ‘what does this reading say about me?’ It’s the perfect win-win situation! As my son would say, ‘it don’t get no better than that!’ You will also be guided to find your ‘uniqueness’ - that gift, skill or service that you have to offer and which no one else can do in the way that you do it. This for me was yet another blessing of the course. Everything starts with the self, the inner being - ‘as within, so without’. Your uniqueness, whatever it might be, helps others to find theirs, setting up a beautiful domino effect. My lasting impression of the course is the joy, energy and enthusiasm of the teachers Steph, Alison and Angela and the facilitator Jacqui - what a woman! What an absolute inspiration! Jacqui walks her talk. I remember her saying: “I am a fantastic energy master!” with no trace of ego, with total commitment and confidence and she encourages you to be the same. Her words re-connected me to my true self and awakened the dormant energy master within me. I know that you will enjoy the course and I offer you the same guidance that Jacqui gave us:
‘Be an energy master!’ ‘Know that you can do it!’ ‘Have fun!’ with love and many blessings, Max.
the science of angels “This morning on the drive into work, a friend and I were following an INFINITY make of car. It’s LED tail lights formed the shape of the INFINITY symbol; really cool. And the registration number, in its letter and numbers repeated this number 741. It naturally occurred to me that we should pay attention to this, so when I got back home and checked Doreen Virtue’s Angel ‘Numbers” book to see what was being said here. Here’s what that little ‘Book of Numbers’ says about that number 741: “The Angels are with you and your positive energy allows them to help you in MIRACULOUS ways” Cool eh? Maybe I’ve said this before, but angels don’t have to be restricted to the classical fluffy-winged harp-strumming type. Angels are constructs from ancient times to describe the un-seen forces that are around us all the time. Just as some theologies have ‘Gods’ of this, that and the other; the term ‘Angels’ has been used to describe a certain recognition, often reverance to the amazing splendour of the creative forces of our universe. It is this ‘infinite wisdom’ of these forces that causes them to take the form that countless humans have reported interactions with from the beginning of time.
angels don’t have to be restricted to the classical fluffy-winged harp-strumming type! Furthermore, interestingly enough, our modern language of science reveals a curious connection. Angels are known as God’s Messengers, right? Well, God is light, it states that in The Bible and other ancient texts. Therefore Angels are messengers of light. Light - which is what all phenomana is made up of, is more scientifically referred to as photons, which are measured in Angstroms (named after the Swedish scientist Anders Angstrom who developed the apparatus to measure photons). This light, (photons) is measurable because of the ANGLES at which they arrive here on Earth from their original source, to us, from the centre of the galaxy in which our Earth resides. Therefore: ANGELS are messengers of Light (God) PHOTONS (Light) are ANGLES of light. So, you see, we have this simple, elegant marriage of what we call religion and science. What we have here also actually demonstrates that the ancients understood, what modern scientists (which has long been retarded by religion) can now confirm. Furthermore, now that scientists are accepting what the ancients knew - that DNA is a transmitter/ receiver of photonic radiation - these ANGELS (photonsANGLES of light) are interacting with us all the time. As photons carry no charge either negative or positive, it is OUR ATTITUDE, that gives them charge, with which they then ‘create our reality’ from what is popularly called the “quantum field.” What the ancients called Akasha, what others call the Akashic record. Therefore, if we are POSITIVE we create our reality in a POSITIVE way - if we are NEGATIVE then obviously the photons we are constantly using to create our reality will be NEGATIVE. Nice scientific confirmation of how our thoughts truly are responsible for our reality! So, the message we received from “infinity” this morning, via that INFINITY car, can be verified as true and worthy of note. And when acted upon, because you accept it, and realise that there are great un-seen forces at work with us, we allow this positive light, energy to affect us at the DNA molecular level - changing our reality completely to something totally new and beyond the grasp of the ego. Cool eh? by Neil Howard King
