Joannah initially trained as a nurse at Guys Hospital in London but at the age of 19 she was diagnosed with a rare and supposedly terminal blood disorder. She spent virtually the next two years in hospital undergoing a long list of orthodox medical treatments – ﬁnally when all options were exhausted she decided to turn to natural medicine. Her experience was a revelation, resulting in a complete recovery in a matter of months. As a result, Joannah started her complementary health training at the age of 21, and has been a passionate advocate of natural medicine ever since. She has been featured on national TV and radio shows and has had ﬁve books published on aromatherapy and natural health. The new BF Aromatherapy is a range of ready to use aromatherapy products; free of synthetics and is packed full of good, wholesome, ingredients to offer safe, effective and fast-acting solutions for a range of every day health and beauty requirements.

All of the new products include an expert blend of therapeutic essential oils and other powerful, natural ingredients that work in perfect harmony together. Each product has been carefully blended so that the rich cocktail of ingredients works synergistically to maximise the overall therapeutic potential of each blend. Joannah Metcalfe, Consultant Aromatherapist, explains: “Essential oils are the single most important component of our products and we are proud to say that we only use 100% pure, unadulterated essential oils. We respect the perfect power of these oils and their naturally occurring chemical complexity.

Our products have been expertly blended with the purest of oils so that our customers can experience the wonderful healing art of professional aromatherapy with products that actually do ‘what they say on the tin’ From skincare home spa treats and ﬁrst aid essentials through to stress relieving and mood enhancing blends, BF Aromatherapy has developed a collection of products that look great, smell great, and most importantly, make you feel great too.

THE MINDSET GARDENER 3 steps to a flourishing life... The ﬁrst of a 3 part series by Jenny Eaton, Director of The Eos Programme for Women

STEP 1

Weeding & Pruning Imagine your mind as a garden; what kind of garden is it? Tranquil and tended – or overrun with weeds and brambles? A garden may contain many different plants; some bear fruit, some bring happiness, others bind and choke and stop the plants you enjoy from ﬂourishing. If you never took the time to consider and tend to your garden, it would soon run wild and become clogged with weeds. Our minds are like this – and yet no one is taught at school to take care of their psyches. The years roll by and we just grow more ‘stuff’; rarely, if ever taking the time to decide what we want in there. Many people don’t even realise they have a choice, they believe that this is just ‘how it is’ and that everyone is the same way. Well, they’re not!

The Mindset Gardener can help you to clear out the ‘weeds’ in your head, grow more of the things you enjoy and lead a flourishing, abundant life. In part 1 of your Mindset Gardener we’ll be weeding and pruning; getting rid of some knotty old brambles that are causing you anxiety and stress – you’ll soon see the benefit as you create light and space for new things to grow. Ok, let’s get started... Identify 3 challenges / issues you are currently facing... 1. Work Do you have a problem with a colleague or manager? Is there a work task that you are finding tough? Do you have targets you feel are unachievable? Pick your work challenge and write it down... 2. Home Is there someone in your life you’d like to get on better with? Are you finding it hard to deal with a family member’s negativity? Do you wish you had a better relationship with your children? Pick your home challenge and write it down... 3. Personal Is there an aspect of YOU that you wish was different? Are you a constant worrier or a hyper-perfectionist? Do wish you could get fit, lose weight, give up smoking? Would you like to feel more confident and self-assured? Pick your personal challenge and write it down..

So you now have 3 challenges it’s time to get weeding! Start with the challenge that feels the least emotionally charged. ● Could you just walk away from this situation? If not, why not? Would some people walk away? Is it humanly possible to? With the exception of prison, most things we could walk away from if we really wanted to. ● If you decide that you don’t want to walk away, list the reasons for staying. ● Are the reasons linked to your values? In other words, you stay at your job because you value being employed, being able to pay the bills, support your family etc. ● Write down the values that link to this decision – are they your values, or have you inherited them from family, school, employer etc.? ● Cross out any values that aren’t truly yours. Ask yourself... ● How does it beneﬁt you to know that you could walk away if you really wanted to? ● What do you gain by understanding that the decision to stay is based on your values? ● If you know that you’re there because you choose to be – surely that puts you in control of the situation instead of being a victim of it? It may be that you stay because you’ve got some pretty admirable values, which could be source of pride and self-esteem. Have you ever thought of it like that? So, let’s get back to the challenge...

If it’s a situation which could be remedied by a conversation (albeit a tricky one), think about how and when you could address it. Is there a potential win/win situation here? Remember that people always make decisions for emotional reasons, even if they’re not aware of it; what’s in it for them? Are you getting frustrated / upset about something that’s just part of the company set-up? In which case, you may just have to accept that we can’t always get what we want! If your challenge relates to a situation with another person, take a look at the diagram below:

Try putting yourself in the other person’s shoes and looking at it from their perspective – what are their wants and needs? How do they ‘benefit’ from the current situation? How might they gain a greater benefit from making a change? When addressing your challenges, focus on being assertive, (instead of being either passive or aggressive). Assertiveness is reflected in your body language, tone of voice and use of words. Assertive people express their thoughts clearly without getting overly emotional. They are able to listen to others and acknowledge their opinions. They are honest and MY ATTITUDE respectful in their dealings with AFFECTS AFFECTS others. Cultivate assertiveness in your life – you will gain greater respect and integrity. YOUR BEHAVIOUR MY BEHAVIOUR Decide what action you are going to take, and when – then do it! Keep a record of AFFECTS AFFECTS YOUR ATTITUDE your actions and progress... ● What were your challenges? ● How have you decided to respond to You cannot change anyone else’s attitude or behaviour – only your own. them? Changing your attitude will change your ● What action have you taken? ● What changes have you observed in behaviour, which will inevitably change the way that others respond to you. This yourself and others? ● Any issues arising? works – I promise! Your homework... Start with the challenge that feels ‘easiest’. You have 3 options: 1. Walk away. 2. Accept it, knowing that it’s your choice to accept it. 3. Do something about it. If you decide to do something about it, write down a list of things you could do; include practical changes you could make and shifts to your attitude and behaviour.

In part 2 we’ll be looking at Planting & Sowing – you’ve cleared out some of the old junk, what do you want to grow in its place?

COLOUR IS MEDICINE

THE HEALING VIBRATIONS OF COLOUR ENERGY I have been painting for over 20 years now, and have come to understand that colour is a very powerful medicine. It helps us harmonise with our natural rhythms and connections to all that is around us, and, through this, become a more balanced being. The eyes which give us sight are a gateway to colour healing, taking us back to nature because the colours of the oils on canvas are taken from the colours of the Earth...

very colour holds a rich spectrum of symbolism and its very own healing vibration. Some are easy on the eye and calming, whilst others are invigorating, inspirational or full of action. There are those that reďŹ&#x201A;ect light and those that swallow it up, and there are those which are cooling whilst others are deeply warming and comforting. And then there are the thousands of shades in between... and all hold their very individual healing magic! I would like to take you on a journey through this rich tapestry of energy and show you how you can make use of this beautiful language by incorporating its simple beauty into your everyday life.

It is the colour of the soul star chakra and closely related to Archangel Metatron, who will help you bring the focus onto spiritual evolution, enlightenment, light body activation and ascension.

In this issue, I would like to introduce you to two colours – white and silver – which are closely related to this time of the year and very closely related to each other. We have just entered the New Year with all its promises of new beginnings, and are now journeying through the heart of winter. Frosty mornings greet us with their very own magic of silver and white crystals – all is frozen into its bare beauty. The magical hush of a fresh blanket of snow, fallen overnight, helps quieten our minds just for a second, a peaceful moment of nothing but the virginity of the dazzling white, with perhaps the reﬂection of the beam of a full moon, bursting into a thousand little twinkling lights. A rare moment of emptiness of the mind! Let’s have a look at both these colours and their rich symbolism in detail. Strictly speaking, neither white nor silver are true colours, but they each hold their very own vibration.

WHITE

The blank canvas White is the colour of light, honesty, truth and new beginnings, of The Virgin, purity, the bride, and all that is good, innocent and true. It is closely related to enlightenment, detachment of the lower desires and truth of character. It is the colour of the realm of angels, spirit guides, unicorns and the other world, where there is no place for negative vibrations. White is the colour

of cleanliness, focus, completion, wholeness and peace, symbolising new beginnings, inspiration and eternal beauty. It is the colour of the soul star chakra and closely related to Archangel Metatron, who will help you bring the focus onto spiritual evolution, enlightenment, light body activation and ascension. But sometimes too much white can be daunting, very much like the emptiness of a blank canvas, or empty page that needs to be ﬁlled with words. It can also remind us of hospitals, doctors and the fear that is so closely related to this stark environment. Humans can be blinded by too much light – in this dimension, we really need colour to feel whole, inspired and at one with all that is around us. Although white is a wonderfully clearing, peaceful energy, too much of it can also feel clinical and too stark. White leaves nowhere to hide, and can feel extremely uncompromising and, well, very black and white... and that is not what this life is about. You should make use of white in your life when you feel: There is a need for calmness, peace and focus ● You wish to make a new start on something ● You wish to cleanse and purify yourself or your surroundings ● You need to clear any blockages or heavy energies. ●

SILVER

Moonshine energy Silver holds the energy of the moon and all its aspects – femininity, sensitivity, emotions, mystery and magic. It is closely related to the tides of the sea, and all things moveable, changeable and ﬂexible – as is life itself. Its translucent energy never fails to fascinate and mesmerise us. Silver is soothing, purifying, cleansing and detoxifying. It helps us enter a deep state of serenity, gently illuminating the way in times of change. It aids those working with the subtle, etheric energies – healers, clairvoyants and lightworkers, enhancing the links to spirit and the cosmos. Silver, like a mirror, will reﬂect any energy – good or bad – to its source and is therefore a good protector. It restores balance and equilibrium to spiritual and feminine power, and will help with the release of any negativity and physical, mental or emotional blockages. It is also the symbol of age (and therewith) wisdom, and growing old gracefully. Silver is closely linked to the feminine, right side of the brain, and relates to Archangel Auriel and the angels of the moon. Silver reminds us that there are two sides to the coin, and enchants us with its promise of beauty – the magical silver lining of even the darkest cloud... However, silver can seem quite cold and non-committal sometimes, and perhaps lure us with false promises. Unpolished and dull, it will remind us of the energy of a dull, grey day

– colourless, neutral and devoid of all joy. You should put some more silver into your life if: ● You

are looking for clarity, awareness and focus in your thought patterns and life in general. ● You would like to connect deeper with your feminine energy and strength and work with goddess energy. ● You would like to develop your psychic and clairvoyant abilities. ● You would like to cleanse away any negativity and physical or psychological blockages. Introducing more colour into your life can make a huge difference to your general wellbeing. Enjoy the process of trying them out, be playful and experimental with them. Introduce more colour into your wardrobe and take note of how it makes you feel, and, moreover, how others react to you! Treat yourself to some nice, colourful jewellery. You can also bring more colour into your home, simply by scattering some colourful cushions, using some throws or rugs, or if you have really fallen in love with a colour – use it on a feature wall.

If you would like to ﬁnd out what colour you should use to bring about more balance in your life at this moment in time, you could try this little exercise: make yourself comfortable in your favourite room. Cut out a bunch of coloured cards – all the colours of the rainbow should be represented as well as perhaps a few pastels, such as pinks, lilacs, light blues and turquoise and some gentler orange and yellow tones. Spread these out in front of where you are sitting. Relax for a few moments and meditate, if this is something you enjoy doing. Consciously close your eyes and take a couple of deep, relaxing breaths. Then open your eyes and cast them

over your coloured cards. Which one did you notice ﬁrst, which one were you instantly drawn to? This is the colour you should work more with! Think about this colour and how it makes you feel. Find out more about its meaning and work (look, think about it, meditate) with it as often as you can. You will ﬁnd that you can start making some very real, positive changes very soon...

HYPNOTHERAPY VIRTUAL GASTRIC BAND – a weight off your mind? In this third of six “Radiant” articles Integrated Therapist Sarah McRobert explains how hypnotherapy can help with weight control.

ith the holiday season a distant memory, the evidence of calorific excess and subsequent dip in morale, is the harsh reality as you step onto the post-Christmas scales. To realise, yet again that you have sabotaged your 2013 New Year’s resolution before it has begun. Daytime TV programmes and magazines that promoted preChristmas diets – are now re-hashing exactly the same information – as ‘postparty’ diets. The celebrity based books and cd packages/fitness DVD’s are now gathering dust on many a bookshelf. So, one size clearly doesn’t fit all! How is it that we fall for the same tricks year on year? The diet industry is a multi-billion, global industry. You may know from personal experience, conventional diets will work for as long as you’re on them but as soon as you revert to your normal eating habits, the weight creeps back on again. Our bodies are pre-programmed to a ‘feast-famine’ survival response causing us to ‘yo-yo’, gaining even more than we’d originally lost! It may come as no surprise that our media, women’s magazines, supermarkets and food industries and of course, slimming clubs and diet companies rely on (and in some cases, even celebrate!) repeat business... The private health industry is also cashing in on our obesity epidemic, with cosmetic procedures and bariatric surgery fast becoming increasingly popular for those who feel they’ve no other options left to achieve a healthy weight loss. However, as with all invasive surgery, the associated risks are potentially life threatening, the procedures can be hugely costly of money and subsequent lifestyle with no guarantee of lasting success. Some patients have been effectively coerced to gain even more weight in order to access the surgery available on the NHS only to the morbidly obese, where

others have paid thousands for private surgery. Post operatively some have continued to take in vast quantities of calories in liquidised form; others describe never enjoying meals again, as only able to eat miniscule portions of limited choices or in severe cases, even involuntarily regurgitating their food at every meal. And we know that without first properly dealing with the emotional issues that led to the over eating, it is possible to ‘out eat’ the band – Channel 4’s Embarrassing Fat Bodies actually showed one patient having his surgically removed as his stomach had grown around it. With 1:1 hypnosis tailored by an experienced, skilful practitioner to meet the needs of the individual client there are no such unwanted side effects, rather many have reported feeling more confident and relaxed alongside becoming increasingly motivated to take up and enjoy a healthier lifestyle. I’d suggest it is because of the hypnosis that the person changes the way they live, it is possible to as their mind is ‘out eat’ the band re-programmed – Channel 4’s to eat more Embarrassing Fat appropriately, so they are Bodies actually able to just stop showed one patient over eating. I having his surgically believe a good hypnotherapist removed as his would expect stomach had grown you to undertake around it. a weight loss programme with them only once, so while the initial outlay may seem higher, over time you will enjoy more value for money. If you’re looking for another ‘quick fix’ then this is not for you. An honest therapist will advise weight loss clients not to expect massive results within a relatively short time – this is about changing habits for good so that over

time you will naturally lose the unwanted weight while gaining such positive habits that you can’t even imagine going back to your old ways again. No food is ‘unhealthy’ if eaten in moderation, in line with the ‘Eat Well’ principles and in tune with your body’s specific needs. Many clients report still choosing to occasionally eat ‘fatty’ foods, because on the whole they enjoy a more balanced diet. They feel able to indulge in special treats and party with the best – because on a daily basis they happily choose healthier options while definitely eating considerably less volume than before... If you have a weight issue, you already know that it’s the accumulative effects of your bad habits that have got you to where you are now, so by amending them you will likewise see the accumulative benefits. Clients returning from holidays (e.g. all inclusive cruises or trips to the US) where previously they’d have gained have been completely amazed to discover on return that they’d maintained their pre-break weight while continuing to enjoy a wonderful break. One of my clients told me that within three months she had more than recouped the initial cost of her Hypno-BandTM programme from the reduction in her supermarket shopping bills - purely because she was no longer buying extra food that her body had never even wanted so had been storing as unsightly and unhealthy fat! She then decided to use that money to pay for gym membership and personal trainer sessions, to speed up her weight loss so felt she’d had a double bonus from her initial investment in herself! Another elected to increase her supermarket food bills to purchase more expensive, quality ingredients so she can enjoy her meals even more – she just eats a lot less than she used to and is still losing weight! Many describe

eating less than half the volume they previously did, with no desire to snack between regular meals, while easily choosing healthier options. Several have categorically stated that they also absolutely know they could never return to their old eating habits and all describe enjoying food more than ever before. So be honest; do you really want a ‘quick ﬁx’ or a ‘magic bullet’ of the latest celebrity endorsed diet?! Hypnosis is not a ‘cure’ but a reprogramming If you have a weight of your issue, you already thoughts, know that it’s the emotions and behaviours accumulative around food effects of your bad such that you can return to a habits that have healthier lifestyle got you to where that allows you are now, so by your body amending them to achieve you will likewise see and maintain a more the accumulative appropriate beneﬁts. BMI. Although in the initial stages you may see remarkable results, a realistic aim would be for you to see a sustainable weight loss of anything between 1-3 lbs a week until you’ve reached your personal target and a healthy BMI; so that having thoroughly enjoyed this one, by Christmas next year you’ll know that you really have changed your habits for good!

2013

WHAT OPPORTUNITIES DOES THIS YEAR BRING? 2012 has for many of us been a difficult year. In my own personal life I have had to face many emotional upsets and traumas and just about everyone I know has had similar issues. Much of these issues are centred around family and around our personal relationships. 2012 was a year number five and the bigger lesson of the five is to learn to integrate both our feminine and masculine aspects and to bring them into balance. In order to do this we have had to “let go” of old patterns of thinking and behaviour and really look at the self. Five also teaches us the true value of personal freedom and the importance of freedom of choice. The Mayans predicted the end of their long count calendar as being a time of great change, the beginning of a new cycle. The Inca refer to these times as a return to the feminine, the time of the sixth sun.

The Fool discovers the hidden, spiritual, unconscious and intuitive aspects of the universe. The intuition of the the High Priestess compliments the logic, objectivity and ability to manipulate the physical world of the Emperor.

The number 2 The High Priestess card appears when you need to attend to your inner most feelings and listen to the voice of your own intuition, the language of your soul. It is the guide to deeper self knowledge and allows you to recognise and trust the value of your intuitive nature. This is the time to reﬂect, meditate and connect with your authentic self. Trust and use your intuition rather than logical analysis. A secret or hidden aspect of your current situation deeply touches your subconscious mind. Hidden knowledge and inﬂuences need to see the light of day. This card gives a clear message that synchronicities and coincidences are clear signs that intuition is knocking at your door, pause, be open and pay attention. A psychic or intuitive woman may come to your assistance to offer helpful or valuable advice. The High priestess card can indicate a desire for spiritual growth, a need to tap into your hidden potentials, psychological depths or unseen talents to achieve success.

Intuition and Fertility The Empress

The number 3 The Empress is the earth mother and as such symbolizes the abundance of nature, everything moves in cycles and ripens in the fullness of time. Be patient as you watch your seeds take root and grow, nurture them as they become strong and healthy. Something is about to come to fruition, a strong desire will be fulďŹ lled - marriage, pregnancy, house move or expansion. Through this card the manifestation of growth is on the horizon, the seeds that you have planted in the past whether they were happiness, abundance , prosperity, family, your dreams, thoughts and ideas, are now ready to give birth into the world. This is the time to nurture yourself and infuse your soul with love and compassion. Use gentle care and kindness to solve problems.The Empress is a card of good fortune suggesting drawing on your own feminine creativity, fertility, sexuality,strength and wisdom. This card indicates a need to explore what can grow naturally out of your current situation. Any kind of artistic endeavor will prosper and thrive. Life is a creative process that motivates you to explore what brings you harmony and happiness. Good times with material comforts, safety and security will arrive soon. You are able to share your feelings and to give and receive love. Satisfying sexual relationships are also signiďŹ ed.

Oracle

Patrick Gamble The Spirit Oracle has evolved over many, many years. Patrick has been creating beautiful, healing paintings for nearly twenty years, and as these thought~provoking images appeared on the canvas, they brought with them feelings and very specific meanings. He was being taught by spirit about the meaning of love, healing, spirituality and life through the paintings he was creating... It wasn’t until a friend of his mentioned that she used his images in workshops and in readings, that the idea of an oracle deck was born. He created his very own first set with the help of a printer and laminator and started giving readings through this, together with his Spirit Guide paintings. He was genuinely surprised at how accurate they were... and they also taught him to trust, in his own gift and in spirit! This is now over 15 years ago... 2007 saw the release of his first professionally printed set of the Spirit Oracle Cards and they were extremely well received. 2012 saw a complete overhaul of the deck: an additional 26 cards were added to make a full set of 72 and Patrick introduced the coloured borders to the cards, bringing the deck back in alignment with what he used in the very beginning. The feedback so far has been astonishing. It has proven to be hugely popular ~ both with established readers as well as those who are not so familiar with oracle decks. Patrick uses these cards in his own readings and you will find that they hold a very deep magic of their own ~ helping you gain wisdom and guidance through art, colour and messages inspired by spirit...

EMI Trauma and Eye Movement Integration Therapy

Here we have one of the corner stones of Neuro Linguistic Programming in general and Eye Movement Integration in particular. When we are thinking our eyes move. When we communicate our eyes move. Even during sleep our eyes have been observed to move, a phenomenon called Rapid Eye Movement – REM for short. So what does this have to do with trauma and souls? As I explained in my ﬁrst Radiant article, in NLP language is made up of all our senses - sight, sound, feelings, taste and smell.”What about words!!!” the observant may be shouting into their coffee as they read this - “Language is words Graeme.....surely!” Words do indeed function in language, but only as symbols. To make sense of any word we have to access our internal memory . We make sense of a word by checking it against our internal ﬁles and ( here comes the “science bit” ) this information is purely sensory - the body-mind does not talk in words ( this is a contrivance of a very clever ape). Here the language is pictures, sounds and sensations.

Picture: onlyhdwallpapers.com

“The eyes are the windows to the soul”. Now, there’s a phrase that most of us are familiar with. Let’s add one word. “The eyes are the Microsoft windows of the soul.”

Radiant Magazine on ISSUU for desktop and iPad

Try this. Using the camera on a mobile phone or tablet ( or indeed a mirror if you are ‘old school’ ) look into your own eyes and ask yourself the following questions. Do not analyse! Ask - think - answer observe. What colour is my house? What does a piano sound like? How comfortable do these clothes feel? Did you notice your eyes move? For most people this is normal - this is the body-mind processing information the equivalent of the ﬂashing light and whirring of a hard drive as it searches for software. Furthermore, you may well have observed that your eyes went a different way for each question - this is because different eye movements access different senses. Equipped with this knowledge the founders of EMI discovered that by Tel - 07810403439 guiding the eye movements of clients they could, quite drastically, change how the client perceived painful memories leading to a positive change in their thoughts, feelings and actions restoring well-being and rebuilding lives. To further explain how this works, let me conclude by talking a bit about trauma and conditioning. To a lay person of a certain age, behavioural conditioning may mean taking 2 bottles into the shower. However, psychologically, it refers to a process made famous by a scientist called Pavlov. He observed that a bell was ringing as his dogs were eating and, most importantly, slobbering. What would happen if the bell was rung but no food was forthcoming? He pondered. What did happen?... The dogs still slobbered – a response ‘conditioned’ by the ringing bell. The dogs salivated because, on an unconscious level, the bell was associated with food so the body got ready for food by salivating. When something traumatic occurs this memory is stored - it is made up of

pictures, sounds, sensations and beliefs. For example, someone who ran over somebody with their car may see the face of their ‘victim’, hear the screech of tyres, smell the aftershave they were wearing and tell themselves what an awful person they are, and then perhaps feel guilt and other negative emotions. By its nature memory is made up of sensory fragments - simply recalling one fragment can bring back the whole experience. In this example, the smell of the aftershave could bring back the memory which is tied up in an emotion - guilt. So this one sensory fragment, the smell of the aftershave, acts as the Pavlovian “bell”. Now, if we accept that the mind can unconsciously process 2000 pieces of information a second - there are a lot of “bells”! This is why trauma is so debilitating. Unconsciously we repeat the trauma over and over. Sometimes, the sufferer will have no conscious memory of being traumatised. For me, this explains why people feel something is wrong but they can’t put their ﬁnger on it. Not only do they feel lousy, they begin to think there is something wrong with them because there is no “reason” for their condition. The eyes have it! EMI has proved a life saver for trauma sufferers. The skilled therapist helps the client recode the memory - taking the emotion out of it. The process is quick but it is not a quick ﬁx. A trauma can be removed in less than an hour with the client going on to live a full and normal life. Yes they will continue to remember what happened - but it will not impact negatively on their thoughts, feelings and emotions. For those of you curious to see this in action, there is an excellent Utube clip featuring Steve Andreas, one of the creators of EMI - just type in ‘EMI with a Vietnam Vet’.

PAINTING WITH THE

ANGELS DEBORAH FLUEELA-JONES

Creativity has always been a part of my life, in the way I approach things and the way I try to live. Having had five children, I did all the usual creative things that a mother does, but it has only been in the past three years that gateways have opened up and I have begun to paint in a consistent, passionate and life changing way... ...I had always been aware of a ‘bigger picture’ to life but circumstances had caused me, up to that point, not to be able to pursue my personal creative yearnings as much as I wanted. Bringing up five children and negotiating the calms and rapids of life brings its joys as well as its limitations! A profound and devastating event seven years ago caused my life to be turned upside down. One of my sons took his own life and caused me to spiral down and sink into such a depth of grief that at the time, and for a long time afterwards, it seemed impossible that I would be able come out of that utter darkness and find a way back to happiness….and then five years ago I met my partner, Phillip, who encouraged me to begin painting. In fact, we began painting together on the same canvas ! Although he was an artist, he’d never painted in that way before, and I certainly hadn’t, not even having had the experience of putting brush to canvas! But we felt so profoundly

connected that very special things began happening almost immediately…and so the first channelled paintings began to appear. I realised, as we were doing them, a deep and significant healing was taking place, for both of us. It was at this point that I felt I needed to pursue my own work. At this time, my son, Oliver, became more and more present for me every day and what had been a time of darkness and nightmare was transforming, very slowly but surely, into a time of transformation and hope. It is this positive and life affirming message that I hope I am able to share in my paintings. As I have begun to feel more and more connected to my spiritual centre I realised that connection has opened up channels of creativity, divinely inspired, that had lain dormant for many years. I don’t fully understand what is happening when I paint…I don’t need to, I just open up to energy, whether you want to call it The Angelic Realms, Divine Energy, or God, I believe them to mean the same thing essentially. My most recent set of work has been angelically inspired. I have always felt a deep connection to the Angelic Realms; a realisation that caused me to pursue the path of Angel Reiki Healing, a powerful and transforming energy healing process. I believe that the most powerful force in the universe is Love and when we hold that within the deepest part of our heart, we allow a power, so incredible, into our three dimensional world that is transformational…it is in that state that I am able to dance to the music of the universe in ways we find hard to comprehend…Even in our everyday lives, whether it be doing the housework, being out in nature or dealing with our day to day life, we can connect to our inner spirit and our angels. We don’t need to be doing ‘spiritual’ activities to do this. Our whole life can be a prayer to life and a gratitude for the life we have, even if that life, at times, can seem dark and unloving. All events and experiences are part of our journey towards a greater understanding of who we are and what we are. We can be the

ANGEL OF PEACEFUL COMMUNICATION >

hero of our own life…we need to be! Whatever we do each day helps in our growth to greater knowing, greater understanding, and above all, greater love for ourselves and everything around us. To be fully in the now, in the present is so important as that is all we have and it is the gateway to that higher place where we can find peace, harmony, joy and love. We all have this creativity within us. All we have to do is to find the key to unlock it. I owed it to myself, my other four children and my grandchildren to find my own key. I also find inspiration and strength from Oliver, my son, who along with the angels and spirit helpers walk with me on my journey. Freedom of expression, my own intuition and connection to the Angelic Realms gives me a deep sense of connection which flows through every brush stroke I make. As well as bringing joy and love, it can sometimes cause or trigger feelings of unease and release to be experienced whilst painting which can be very emotional….a bit of a roller coaster ride! This connection allows my channelled paintings to be created. The paintings come from my heart. The energy flows and I follow its course. It is a creatively and divinely inspired flow that fills my heart with love for being able to share it, and in sharing it, hopefully to transform, connect, release and inspire! Every painting I do is filled with love and carries a different message for each person looking at them. They have and will continue to be a source of healing, inspiration and encouragement for many people. The angel paintings here have been arriving over the past couple of months and reflect the new energies coming in at this time….powerfully transformational and full of love. There are so many more to come! I am so excited! I am also looking forward to producing a deck of angel cards along with prints and having a joint exhibition with painter Sue Clyne, Fantasy artist, in the Forum, Norwich in July 2013. There is so much more to come…watch this space! < ANGEL OF SELF LOVE

MUNAY KI The Nine Initiation Rites of The Munay Ki

It gives me great pleasure to offer an insight into the wonderful world of the ‘Munay Ki’. Munay means love, Ki means power. These initiation rites empower one with love and assist us to heal and transform the human energy ﬁeld into that of homo luminous, a transcended light being.

These rites are given and received with and in love. Their origin derives from special tribes of medicine men and women from eons ago. They are called ‘The Laika’ and reside in Peru and deep pockets of the Amazon Rainforest. It is only within the last ten years these rites were able to be passed from human to human, before this they were only passed from spirit to prophets such as Buddha and Jesus Christ. The wonderful Alberto Villoldo, founder of ‘The Four Winds Society, Healing The Light Body School’ in America, brought the rites to The West after spending twenty years in Peru as a student of ‘The Laika’, who are shamans and keepers of the Earth. I, myself have been privileged to receive these special rites four years ago as part of my training in Shamanic Energy Medicine. The rites are planted energetically as seeds into the Luminous Energy Field around the physical body, this is usually known as the ‘aura’ or ‘auric ﬁeld’. The LEF organisers every cell and system of our physical body, it informs our DNA which is like ‘the software’ which

then informs our cellswhich is like ‘our hardware’. By giving the LEF the seeds of The Munay Ki Rites it is possible reprogramme our DNA which in turn can reinform how we think, feel, act, live and die differently. It can ‘knock out’ ‘limiting beliefs’ that have been passed down through the generations, keeping us stuck and unable to reach our full potential in life. When we understand how powerful we truly are as multi-dimensional beings we can move from ‘homo sapien beings’ to ‘homo luminous’ or ‘Crystalline beings’ with grace and ease. This was a part of the prediction of the Mayan Prophecy for 2012 which we have now moved through. When the energetic seeds of The Munay Ki inform the physical body of a person’s ‘true nature’, who we as humans are becoming, a new ‘Crystalline species’, automatically a new luminous blueprint is grown. These rites enable human beings to unhook themselves from the 3D matrix of constant reincarnation on the karmic wheel of life. It is possible to become a hyper-dimensional gateway, a portal

When the energetic seeds of The Munay Ki inform the physical body of a person’s ‘true nature’, who we as humans are becoming, a new ‘Crystalline species’, automatically a new luminous blueprint is grown. or doorway into other dimensions, unbound by linear time. The rites are given in a ‘timeless sacred space’ that becomes a ‘micro universe’ to work within. After each rite is completed sacred space is closed. When all nine rites have been activated you become a portal to dream and create a new world into being.

The universe manifests on four different levels: Level 1 – The Body – physical literal level is enveloped by: Level 2 – The Mind – we know the mind can create psychosomatic disease – is enveloped by: Level 3 – The Soul – this is the sacred and mythical level which is enveloped by: Level 4 – The Spirit – which is the ever expanding energetic level Each level has its own language Body – molecules, atoms, and cells Mind – language and words Soul – images, poetry and music Spirit – pure energy and intention

MUNAY KI The Munay Ki operates at the level of spirit. Spirit utilises the language of energy which informs the Soul, which then informs the Mind (our belief systems), which then informs the physical body (our behaviours). When change is brought about at the level of spirit (blueprint), our soul, mind and body change and the world around us is transformed. At the level of the physical body, reality is 99% matter and 1% consciousness. At the level of spirit, reality is 99% consciousness and 1% matter. The closer to the level of ‘Spirit’ we intervene the more powerful our intervention is. We cannot ﬁx emotional wounds with pastimes such as retail therapy, we cannot resolve problems at the level it was created, it has to be resolved at the level above! ‘The Liaka’ Medicine men and women have always understood that there is a Spiritual/Energetic solution to every challenge we face in life. When we work and operate at the level of source we have extraordinary assistance available to us. ‘Munay Ki’ offers the opportunity to take up permanent residence at the domain of ‘spirit’, for we are then honoured to be connected to a linage of wise men and women. We can remain effective in the world without being owned or processed by it, we are residing in the world but not of it. We are ‘spirit’ having a human experience not ‘human’ having a spiritual experience! The rites offer us a chance to understand that we are not ‘our stories’, we are only observing and experiencing a story around our ‘true selves’, as our life on earth unfolds in this particular incarnation. With the rites we can recreate that story moment

by moment, attract and manifest all we need to dream our new world into being, with the wonderful assistance of the ‘Rites of Passage’ that the ‘Munay Ki’ offers. We can fearlessly step into the awakening of our authentic God/ Goddess selves. It is in this space that we ﬁnd we are vibrating at a much lighter frequency, a higher vibration in a much more expanding consciousness. We can chose to be ‘Change Agents’, for these rites empower us giving unique opportunities for the ‘Gold’ (our God/Goddess selves) within us to come forward, continuing to raise our consciousness individually and collectively. This will assist our planet, our sweet Mother Earth to do the same, as we move into this astoundingly amazing Age of ‘Aquarius’, The ‘Golden Age’ where we can live with humanity, nature and all living creatures in love, harmony and peace.

For more information on the Nine Initiation Rites of the Munay Ki, please contact me through the magazine’s details. May I take this opportunity to wish you all a truly amazing 2013, may it be ﬁlled with much divine love, the brightest of white light, magic and joy.

Imbolc 60

The annual Imbolc ceremony celebrates the awakening of the land and the growing power of the sun - marking the half way point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox...

Merry we meet.

The festive period of Yule has now drawn to a close and many of you will have celebrated the coming of 2013 and are now looking forward to the approaching of spring, the warmer weather and the homecoming of the sun and the stirrings of Mother Earth herself. The wheel of the year turns and progresses on and for those of us following the eight festivals of the year, we look forward to the celebration of Imbolc (em - bowl/g). This festival is normally celebrated on the 2nd of February. It is the one of the four fire festivals within the wheel. Imbolc marks the beginning of the return of spring time. It is when Mother Earth is in her maiden state, waiting for the return of the Sun God. She is waiting to let go of all that she holds within her womb, such as the first flowers and buds on the trees of the impending season. She is reawakening to the heat of the coming sun. There are many meanings to the word Imbolc but most subscribe to the phrases meaning “in the belly”. This is the time of the year when many lambs and calves are born - their mothers producing more milk for their little ones. Animals are starting to appear that have been hibernating. Shoots are sprouting, so we can see where the festival gets its foundations. In times gone by our ancestors would have come together to celebrate and honour the Celtic Goddess Bride or Brighid, she would have been classed as the “waiting” bride for the Sun God. Brighid, herself was a goddess of hearth,

home, healing and the forge (blacksmithing). People would have crafted corn dollies to honour the Goddess and also for the healing and for protection of the home. One corn dolly would have also been placed in the ﬁelds that would be ready for ploughing, to bring life to the earth and to sustain the new crops. The Greeks dedicated this festival to the Goddess Diana, while the Romans attributed the celebration to Venus, both associated with love, the Crocus, which begins to show signs of life, is sacred to both deities. The Romans also held the month of February as a very exceptional month and it was dedicated to the God Februus for whom the month is named but also to the Goddess Februa, she is the Goddess of fresh starts. This time was

“Imbolc marks the beginning of the return of spring time.It is when Mother Earth is in her maiden state, waiting for the return of the Sun God. She is waiting to let go of all that she holds within her womb” known as the “cleansing time“. One custom that all of us can perform at Imbolc is that of lighting a candle. The main tradition of lighting the candle is to help the Sun God ﬁnd his way back to his Maiden bride. Many years ago ﬁres would have been lit and the whole village would have chosen a maiden to walk into a

buttered bread out in a bowl for the fae who travel with the Lady Greenwood. Lady Greenwood being the Goddess and companion of Lord Greenwood, the God of nature. This will please them a great deal, dispose of in the morning as its essence will have gone. There are many more traditions for Imbolc, far too many to put in this article but even if you do not follow the path, but would like to mark the occasion in some way, light

This is a time to cleanse and prepare.” a candle to show the Sun God where you are. Spring clean inside and out, give blessings for what you have and hope to achieve in the coming year. For those of you travelling the path of the old ways I send you love and many blessings for Imbolc. May you always be able to see the way from the light of your candle. Till we meet at the next turn of the wheel – Blessed Be.

circle carrying a wheel of candles to represent the sun wheel, to honour the coming year and the Sun Gods full return. The purpose of Imbolc is to recognise what the earth is saying to us. Here we need to respect what Mother Earth doing - help her and she shall help us. This is a time to cleanse and prepare. This is a great time for healing work, in the form of spell work or ritual for the earth and also yourself and others. A good time to bless and charge any seeds that may be used for the coming year. This is also a time of puriﬁcation - hence spring cleaning! Our homes can be cleansed and cleaned and protected ready for the return of the Sun God and when the Earth takes on her full Mother Role we will be ready. This is also an excellent time for those on the path to reafﬁrm with the God and Goddess, to reconnect to the inner source, initiation rites also bode well. Brighid carries with her, a white wand, said to “breathe life back to the world”. (Wands available from Spirit Haven). The colours that are associated with Imbolc are green, yellow, brown and white. Crystals that can be used are amethyst, tigers eye, bloodstone and rose quartz. Incense can be made using one or more of the following ingredients Dragons blood, Frankincense, cinnamon, vanilla, bay and myrrh. Altars can be decorated in any of the above colours and anything that is sacred to you at this time. Celebrate with a meal that includes dairy products but remembering that in years gone past, food would have been very hard to come by as the ground would still have been hard and not much would have been growing. So this is also a time of using store cupboard ingredients too. On the eve of Imbolc leave

An Alpha State of

MIND ALPHAMUSIC by John Levine

John Levine originally trained as an electronic engineer and then as a classical composer. He also studied psychology and the physiology of hearing. After reading about the discovery by Dr Hans Berger, of how the brain emits electrical waves, which rise and fall in intensity depending on our mood, he then, after much experimentation, established the pattern of sound that predictably invites the brain to settle into alpha state. This is a calmer state than the excitable peaks and troughs, known as beta, which contribute to feelings of anxiety. While beta has its purpose, it also interferes with our ability to stop, take stock and work out a better long-term solution to a stressful situation. We caught up with John to ﬁnd out more... Radiant: Where does your interest in music originate? John Levine: I was brought up in a musical family, Mum played classical piano, Dad was tone deaf, played the bongos and had a diverse collection of record albums. So we all got to enjoy listening to anything and everything from Rock’n’Roll, Jazz, Beebop, Tchaikowsky, Middle eastern, Spanish, Latin, pop, Crooning to Bing Crosby, The Andrew Sisters, Glen Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Al Jolson... and much more. At the age of 6, I was given a plastic saxaphone. When I was asked what I wanted to do in my life, I remember saying my dream was to make people happy with my music. Later I learnt classical, jazz and rock music, joining various bands and ensembles. Having two hobbies as a child of electronics and music, I started studying at the University of NSW

electrical engineering, but after two and half years switched to completing a Music degree in Composition at University Sydney. What is Alpha music? JL: It’s music that aims to induce alpha brain waves. When the mind is in an alpha state the body can function properly. This can signiﬁcantly improve healing, digestion, the immune system, concentration and emotional well being just for starters. Alpha wave music is the key to concentration, relaxation and a good night’s sleep. I listen to alpha-music to help me relax and focus when I am writing. Unlike other music or background noise it doesn’t distract but actually encourages the brain to produce the alpha waves that enable stress-free concentration. It also promotes instant and deep sleep at bedtime, however stressful the day has been.

As a classically trained composer, how has modern technology had an impact on you? JL: I have always been fascinated by technology and how it can be used within music and performance. It is possible and challenging to preserve the human spirit whilst exploring different realms of reality. For example, I record my piano solo albums which are the Silence of, or Chakra Series and the Archangel Alphamusic series on a Steinway Grand piano. A real one! Not a digital keyboard. We use digital reverberation to enhance the natural resonances of the Steinways strings so they form part of the overall composition. Best if you listen yourself! What inspired you to produce Alphamusic? JL: I had 2 motivators... The ﬁrst was power by the frustration of not ﬁnding a solution to my late Dad’s constant state of worry,stress and anxiety. The 2nd was when I heard some terribly ineffective ‘New Age’/ Relaxation music. I wrote down all the

reason why it didnt work. Friends challenged me to record my own if I am such a critic! How has your inspiration changed from the original concept? JL: It hasn’t really... It has always been to help heal people and animals... In a world which is ever developing – it’s a wonderful inspiring journey, discovering more aspects of music and applications. For example: a mother asks me if I have any music for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome... What is the next chapter for you and Alphamusic? JL: Producing more therapy and healing titles and watching how people beneﬁt from my Alphamusic and to see how more and more people become relaxed and healthy inspired by transformation they gone through thanks to my Alphamusic.

New Dawn, New Beginning by Trish Abbott

As the bells ring out the old year, they’re bringing in the new A shifting of vibrations meaning change for me and you Time to start afresh again, to leave the “old” behind Thoughts of new exciting plans, and lessons for mankind Less focus on material things, expanding our minds to grow Please worry not what people say, we’ll reap what we now sow It’s a positive journey to behold, new pathways etched in earth Friendships formed, new lessons learned, it’s almost like re-birth Through meditation and guidance, we help others find their way Some of us heal, while others teach, supporting us through each day Our nurtured souls respond with joy, and shoulders shed their load As we take the first of many steps along life’s unmade road Together we can build new lives, give hope wherever we go So everyone can have a share of the positive energy flow So ring out the old and bring in the new, march on without a fear Towards a new and brighter life, we welcome the coming new year

SUPERFOODS

BROCCOLI Broccoli is one of the healthiest green vegetables. It is versatile, inexpensive and tastes great.

Broccoli can help boost the immune system, build stronger bones and is useful during pregnancy with 1 cup of brocolli offering 94 mcg of folic acid. Folic acid deﬁciency is the most common vitamin deﬁciency in the world.

Broccoli comes in a variety of colors, ranging from deep sage all the way to dark green and purplish-green.

The word broccoli comes from the Latin word brachium and the Italian word braccio, which means “arm”.

A compound found in broccoli appears to have more effect than modern antibiotics against the creation of peptic ulcer causing bacteria. When eaten with other foods, avocados enable the body to better absorb cancer-ﬁghting nutrients, such as carotenoids, found in vegetables that include spinach and carrots.

Eating broccoli reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and death in postmenopausal women.

Broccoli contains twice the vitamin C of an orange. It has almost as much calcium as whole milk, and the calcium is better absorbed.

Broccoli contains selenium, a mineral that has been found to have anticancer and anti-viral properties.

Tom â&#x20AC;&#x153;Broccoliâ&#x20AC;? Landers holds the current world record for eating 1 pound of broccoli in 92 seconds.

Broccoli is a modest source of vitamin A and alpha-tocopherol vitamin E.

Sulforaphane contained in broccoli may also offer special protection to those with colon cancersusceptible genes.

Broccoli is a part of the cabbage family.

FIERY LITTLE CHICKEN TOSTADAS

Tostadas, crisp little bases of corn on which to heap all kinds of delectable toppings, make lovely spicy warming starters. Easy to prepare, you can prepare tortillas in advance and store them in an airtight tin for up to a week. Serves 4 Time: 40 mins Ingredients ● Sunﬂower oil, for frying corn tortillas ● 2 Poached chicken breasts* or 400g leftover cooked chicken, torn into pieces ● 2 Dried chipotle chillies ● 1 Tablespoon pickled jalapeno slices, chopped ● 4 Tablespoons homemade mayonnaise ● Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper ● Small handful of chervil or tarragon or both ● Juice of 1 lime ● 4 Leaves of baby gem lettuce, ﬁnely shredded ● 1 Avocado, roughly sliced into small pieces *To poach chicken breasts, place them in a small pan of salted boiling water with a few bay leaves, some peppercorns and a few slices of raw onion. Simmer very gently for no more than 15 minutes, until tender but not overcooked.

Method 1. To make the tostadas, heat about 200ml of oil in a shallow frying pan until it is sizzling hot (you can test it with a piece of off-cut tortilla – the oil should really sizzle when it goes in). 2. Cut each tortilla with a pastry cutter into 8cm rounds and fry them in the hot oil until crispy and golden. Drain on kitchen paper and sprinkle with salt. 3. Cover the chipotle chillies in boiling water and soak for about 15 minutes, or until they have softened. If you don’t like too much spice, remove the seeds. 4. Finely chop the chillis and add half to the mayonnaise along with half the chopped jalapenos and all the herbs. 5. Season the mayo with salt, pepper and a good squeeze of lime juice, then add the torn chicken. 6. Check the heat level and add the rest of the chipotles if you like. 7. Place the tostadas on a large plate. Put a little pile of shredded lettuce onto each tostada, then a heaped teaspoonful of the chicken mayo mix and ﬁnally a couple of avocado slices and a little of the remaining pickled jalapenos.

It’s in the palm Everything about your hands, tells a tale about your character. From their shape and size, the lines on you palms, your ﬁngernails and even the heel of your hand all contribute to your unique personality proﬁle.

The Heart line is at the top of the

hand below the fingers. A straight heart line shows even temperament in matters of the heart. If the line curves up toward the index finger, it can indicate that the person has a physical approach to love. A heart line that reaches to the outside of the palm under the index finger shows a romantic view of love. This line can also signify how high a person sets the standard for their ideal partner.

HEART LINE

The Life line tells the vitality of a person

and major life events. The line extends from the base of the thumb, near the wrist, and usually curves around to above the thumb. A strong, unbroken life line indicates good health. Breaks in the line may indicate illnesses. Islands or “bubbles” in the line can show difﬁcult times in one’s life and are usually found near the top of the thumb.

LIFE LINE

The Fate line runs from the bottom of the palm near the wrist, up through the center of the palm towards the middle finger. This line is believed to be tied to the person’s life path, including school and career choices, successes and obstacles. Sometimes this line is thought to reflect circumstances beyond the individual’s control, or alternately the person’s choices and their consequences. This also a good reference for financial status.

FATE LINE

of your hands... The Girdle of Venus starts between the little

and ring fingers, runs in a rough arc under the ring and middle fingers to end between the middle and pointer fingers; thought to relate to emotional intelligence and the ability to manipulate.

The Love lines or lines of Marriage. These lines occur just below

the little ﬁnger. The number of lines indicates how many deep loves the person has had, how happy the relationship was/is and how deep the feelings lie. Lines crossing the love lines often show children.

The Head line is located below GIRDLE OF VENUS MARRIAGE LINES

HEAD LINE

HEALTH LINE

SUN LINE

the heart line and crosses the palm. A long head line that dips down toward the outer side of the palm shows an intellectual, person capable of deep thinking and deeply a person analizes things. A short head line may indicate that matters of the heart and emotions rule the person’s personality. Breaks in the head line may indicate times when a person was not thinking clearly.

The Health line. Also known as The Line

of Mercury or the Line of Liver. It runs from the Mount of Mercury down the hand via Mount of Mars. It represents the health and well being of the person.If there is no line of Health you are probably blessed with excellent health. When it is completely absent the constitution is stronger.

The Line of Sun is also known as the line of success

or the line of Brilliance. It runs parallel to the Fate Line but ultimately it ends at the Mount of Sun. It is not present in every hand but whenever it is present, it gives happiness and achievements. It indicates name and fame. It increases the power of a good line of fate. It gives fame and distinction to the life.

It’s in the palm of your hands... Suki Pryce - Palm Reader Suki Pryce has been practising Hand Reading (Palmistry) and Astrology for many years, with a life-long interest in the ancient art of Cheirology. Based in North Norfolk, Suki offers private consultations to discover your true nature and potential by combining both hand-reading and Astrology which together create a powerful combination - each complementing and supplementing the other. “Hand reading is a wonderful way of gaining insight into our nature, revealing amazing depths of information within the hands. What is particularly valuable about hand reading is that it can help to distinguish innate (hereditary/karmic) characteristics from those which are acquired through upbringing, socialisation and life experiences. The skin ridge markings - especially on the finger tips, the skin texture, and the basic hand shape are inborn: they change very little or not at all as we grow up and mature, and show a great deal about our true nature and potential. For example, square, firm, well padded hands combined with simple arch finger prints indicate a down to earth, practical nature and a strong affinity with the natural world. Very fine (‘silky’) skin, loops on the finger tips, and tapered, feminine hands show a refined, sensitive, ‘princess and the pea’ type nature which needs harmony and beauty unsuited to dirt, discord or coarseness in its surroundings. In contrast, features such as the lines, finger length and the way they lean, hand flexibility and firmness, and the difference between our left and right hands tell a story about our childhood, the extent to which we’ve expressed

our potential, and the pressures (often, sadly, restrictive or harmful) which life has imposed upon us. So, for example, the start of the life and head lines, below the index finger, tell us about our start in life, our relationship with our family background, and the extent to which we’ve been influenced by our upbringing or have managed to retain our individuality. Some features of the hand are strangely specific. For example, a very strong thumb-plus-ball-of-thethumb area shows someone who want and needs to earn their own living and be financially independent. And there’s a specific, rather uncommon, line above the end of the head line which indicates someone who sets their standards rather too high where partners are concerned!” During a consultation Suki combines the hand-reading with the clients natal chart, observing the innate similarities of their horoscope and the features of the hands; which show our true, inborn nature, potential and tendencies. Combining the two can provide vital information about our health, emotional state, and spirituality; and about habits or attitudes that may be blocking clients. For an enlightening, inspiring reading with Suki at a mutually convenient location: Consultations can be recorded on request. Possesing full insurance, including professional liability.

NATURAL HEALING In the ﬁrst of our series of healing reviews we sample a taster session with Trish Abbott - Energy worker/ Natural Healing therapist...

The Therapist; I began the session by choosing a crystal to work with Samantha, this I do with my hands, until I feel a strong pull or a tingling sensation. The chosen crystal today was Rose Quartz. I also had a piece of natural Selenite at the feet for grounding and protection. Working with the energy centres, I found most to be free ﬂowing, until I got to the feet where the energy centres there, were sticky like treacle and I felt were blocked at the base. This for me means that there maybe some grounding issues. After clearing the energy centres, and sweeping the aura of negative energy, I felt happy that Samantha would now be able to feel more in harmony within her body, and emotions which will help in assisting to ﬁnding a place of peace. Then utilising the energy of Reiki, and with help from my angels and spirit, I

started at the head. I felt very drawn to stay at your crown and third eye area, as if felt very comfortable for me. Moving down, I felt the energy was flowing smoothly and I saw some lovely gold colours over the solar plexus. The feet area again, I wanted to work for some time as I experienced a great feeling of calm and peace at that end of the body. I felt an ache in my hand when over the left shoulder, which usually means I have picked up some pain or problem in that area. On the crown and eyes, I felt lots of energy, strong, and radiating outwards. I finished at the crown of the head, where I sent white light through the crown chakra which flowed right through to the feet, expressing love and positive energy. I felt happy that a natural end had come to the healing session.

RADIANT REVIEWS

THE SHIFT

Review by Samantha

Starring Dr Wayne W. Dyer. Directed by Michael Goorjian

The Client; I visited Trishs’ home in the tranquil village of Reedham. She has a lovely treatment room in her home which is equiped with everything centred on the clients comfort and relaxation. With a tempting display of hand picked crystals and crystal jewellry on display. The taster healing session of 30 minutes was too short! I wanted the session to continue and regretted not booking for the full hour. As I relaxed on the couch, covered with a baby soft blanket of purple, the sounds of the music soothed my senses as the tension left my weary body. Far too soon the session was over but never the less I left feeling relaxed and calm ready to continue my busy day. As Trish correctly identified, I am not grounded at present as I am in the process of moving house and am in a very unsettled time of change. Also the pain in my neck that Trish identified is something I feel whenever I work on my computer. I do not particularly enjoy using technology, it is out of necessity rather than choice. And quite honestly I do find it “ a pain in the neck”! I highly recommend a healing session with Trish, she is a lovely warm, freindly lady that obviously loves people and her chosen therapy. I will be making another appointment but this time for the full session! Trish can be contacted on facebook: energy worker/natural healing therapist or by email on trishy1954@hotmail.co.uk

In this compeling film, Dr Wayne Dyer explores the spiritual journey from ambition to meaning. The powerful shift from the ego constructs that we’re taught early in life by parents and society - which promote achievement and accumilation - are shown in contrast to a life of meaning, focused on serving and giving back. The striking scenery and delicate piano music create a poignant combination as the setting for the film. Through the intertwining personalities of the characters, Dr Dyer weaves a magical spell of a reality available to each and every one of us. From the unfulfilled house-wife, the stressed-out film director and the hard-nosed business man; each character arrives at their own personal moment of ‘”The Shift” to discover a need to create a life of meaning and purpose. By relinquishing control and allowing the river of life to flow, we are more easily able to discover our authentic selves, our lifes’ purpose and embrace the signs and synchronicities that unfold before our very own eyes. A truly beautiful inspiring film. One of my all-time favourites!
