Workshop - Closing Energy Leaks - Intuition & Your Body

Closing Energy Leaks©, Intuition & Your Body

15th November 2pm West Cork

Going deeper into how to look after, heal, fix and change your life by uncovering layers of ‘whatever life has thrown your way’ and finding yourself. This workshop will focus on patterns that we have all revolved in – poverty, fear, worry, illness and not getting the things we ask for or need!

We will look more closely at how energy works, what the Universe expects of us and what comes next in our adventure towards using our own intuition to work with, heal, change and open up to the wonderful potential within our own body.

If you have been feeling stuck, unwell, overwhelmed, under-utilizing your skills, and generally disappointed with how things are – but are seeking change – this is your opportunity to focus on body, mind and spirit like never before!

We will be once again looking at the Energy of the Human body through Closing the Energy Leaks© or Windows and finding more ways to listen to our intuition. Listening to your body’s voice is vital for a better, healthier, more productive life.

                                   If you are ready for change, this workshop is for you.

15 November Tuesday afternoon at 2pm to 5pm

Caheragh, Drimoleague West Cork

€55

includes notes and organic refreshments

Of course I could go on about this work.....Closing the Energy Leaks is all about bringing our minds back into the change, healing and well-being of our bodies. We need all of us to be available and present in order to fully accomplish what we are here to do. Part of our journey towards fulfilling our purpose is getting back into a healthy, strong body. We do that many ways - it is often a good idea to change our minds as we work at changing our lives....

Workshops, Market Stall, Nature & Me

 We are approaching the harvest time of year, the special gifts of nature are being presented for those of us willing to wander into streams, trudge through hedgerows, follow the honey bee trail and listen to the hum of magic on the wind.

The only thing asked of us is to be ourselves.

This has become my motto over the years, if I can only get back to myself, I will find who I have always been, waiting for me there. 

Nature knows the way, shares her secrets and guides those who are pure of heart. 

❤️

If you can, come out for one of my workshops, classes or talks over the next little while. Or get one of my books, these books are very special and important. Stop by my market stall for a browse and a chat, ask me a question. I will try to answer from my heart and the wisdom nature has been teaching me. 

We are often walking this journey by ourselves, but we are not alone.

Post Viral Syndrome & Probiotics

Just wanted to catch you up on our fasting - we are still working away here - terrific insights every day - for the most part we are fasting for 3 to 5 days, then taking 2 or 3 days for food, increased exercise and all else!

Not sure what day we are on now (it all started on 30 April)….we took another 2 eating days over the bank holiday weekend and are now right back at the fasting again. Actually this is day 2 for me and the first day for the everyone else.

I am more determined then ever to see this through to the very end (whateverthatis?) because I feel I am finally seeing some results. However, I am not entirely certain I can explain them properly!

Except…..

Well, last week in the middle of my fasting all of my old Glandular Fever symptoms came on full force (cold sores, pain, stiffness, pain, joints aching, did I mention pain?). But before I go into that let me give you a bit of background here.

When I was 20 years old I got glandular fever, it put me out for a month or so – I was still weak, tired and unwell, but as I was self supporting (on my own since I am 17), I had no choice but to get back working and carry on.

So, that’s what I did. 

For the next 14 years or so – I worked, lived (or at least thought I did) and kept going as best I could even though my adrenals were shot, my thyroid was low and I often had little energy. I never resorted to meds, herbs, changes in diet and exercise kept me afloat.

But I did have my tonsils out at age 28 because they were the main source of the virus and my throat was always killing me. This gave me some measure of better health and I was able to get my life back a bit. 

Fast forward to the next decade;

Then I got cancer, had to sort that out (I did with food, water, exercise, sunshine and no chemicals) and have been making significant changes to my outlook ever since. But – after my last child was born, the glandular fever came back up again and never really settled down.

And I just couldn't seem to get to the bottom of it. No amount of exercise, herbs, vegan diet, cutting this out or that out seemed to make much of any difference. Everything bothered my digestion and it had no rhyme or reason to it. One day I could eat almonds and the next day they would cause bloating and pain!

That’s where the fasting came in. I had nipped it in the bud by dealing with the virus through herbal tea fasts, however, I was not killing the virus because my immune system was still under it’s control and as soon as the fast was over, it would all come back again.

Once I got far enough along in the fasting (years by this time) and started adding my own probiotics, then the game changed. And this is where I find myself right now a couple of years into this new type of fasting - with much more significant results. 

I think for the first time in 26 years my body is actually fighting/removing this virus. It could not do that previously because our immune system is gut mediated and there was just not ‘enough’ living in my gut, to gain the upper hand.

Now there is. 

Watch. Out. World.

It Doesn't Shift or Heal....Because It's Not Yours!

How much time have I spent working on myself over these last decades of my life….I have issues okay (don’t we all?!) and well, I like to take them out from time to time and dust them off (LOL, I think).....

Just to see how they are doing, because, to be honest, I have long felt as if I was going around in circles, thinking I had sorted through some huge emotional thing only to have it come back around a few weeks, months or years later.

Of course, our healing, like our energy source, is cyclical. We actually do move in spirals, patterns, responding to rhythms and cycles, in the exact same way nature does. 

Mother Earth runs through our veins too. 

But, getting back to healing our ‘beings’ – one golden rule of Energy Medicine has always been that we can only fix, change or heal - that which belongs only to us. If it’s not ours, we can’t do much of anything with it, except carry it around.

This used to actually be my life at one time. I had these ‘crosses to bear’ and would have believed certain things in my life had to be endured and it was just best for me to get on with it. 

Or basically, I thought I had to adjust my life, my hopes, desires and expectations in order to fit in a belief system that all I carried with me, was mine. So, I was left desperately trying to ‘fix’ many things that didn’t even belong to me.

But then over time (a long time) working with energy medicine and healing as I do – I have come to see how anything that doesn’t necessarily heal (within a reasonable period of time) is usually not ours and doesn’t belong there in the first place.

Let me explain….

Energy medicine is quite simple, really, something has come into our energy field, it doesn’t go out (because our defences are down?) so it attaches, then, it festers, and creates an energy block of some sort. 

This energy block can (and will eventually) result in some physical ailment when it has been around long enough or is triggered in some manner. We are aware of these, they have been apart of our bodies in some instances for lifetimes and for the most part, feel they belong.

These patterns and ailments often become so enmeshed within our own energy fields (they anchor in the central nervous tissues) it is difficult to know where we end and other’s stuff  begins. 

Next time you are attempting to sort through an old familiar issue that has been popping up for you from time to time…stop and do a physical check – is all of this even yours? Which part of this pattern might have been taken on from other generations or someone else’s drama?

You only have to answer for what is yours – and what you do about it.

Feeling A Little Stuck? 2014 - A Year for Change…..Class & Course Dates

Energy Blocks

I just realized something really important – I am having a hard time thinking about, moving and gearing up for 2014. It’s as if this next year is either not coming (it is! LOL) or there is a huge energy block surfacing for me. 

I can’t seem to get dates in my mind or anything….it’s as if  a door is closed and needs to be pushed (or kicked) open. Yet I love this feeling right now because that is what I am cleansing, clearing and fasting for!

So what am I doing to combat this energy block? I am Closing Energy Leaks© of course, exercising, fasting and pushing myself in every way that I can think of to get that ‘onwards and upwards’ feeling back again. 

But today has been a difficult day, even the weather outside is nasty – it’s wet, windy and wild out there, with the air kicking up soggy leaves and blowing them around. The kind of day where you run from one building to the other, shielding your face from the sting of the rain and every trip outside has you standing next to the stove for half an hour.

A day for change.

If you are also ready for something better, something deeper and more then you feel your life is bringing you right now – perhaps it’s time to unblock 2014 for yourself! Plan to come out to one of my Winter classes to get your life back on track and discover a deeper spiritual connection.

Evening Class - Starts 5th November

Protecting Yourself in the Healing Professions…..

If you find you are bringing your work home, feeling drained at the end of the day, losing heart with all you do – part of this problem will be energetic. But, there is so much you can do to make yourself feel better, regain your energy, boost your health – when you know more about the mechanics of how your energy field works.

On offer are evening sessions (sharing & learning circle) on how to protect, heal, fix, alter, change and shore up your energy field while living, working and walking in today’s world. During each of these classes we will explore how an energy field works, how damage occurs, what we can expect to change, how long it will take, Closing Energy Leaks, energy vampires and how to start taking immediate steps to heal and seal your body.

Following April’s list of ‘25 ways to Protect Yourself’ from her book Universal Energy Laws, we will work down through each one as it applies to your work, how you go about your day, carry out your spiritual practice, cope with family and relationships, adjust to stress and change while listening to your body. 

These classes will serve to uplift you, give you hope and change your life. You deserve to live, work and play with the peace of mind a strong, healthy functioning energy field brings. We will take it week by week….usually runs for 5 or 6 weeks then break for Christmas…come to one or enjoy all! 

When 5th November 2013


Time 7pm to 9ish

€10 each evening
