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.

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....

We are 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 underneath all that stuff.

With this in mind, my next 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 how to go about creating change, reinventing ourselves and moving forward in new ways.

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.

Beyond the Fear....Embracing the Divine Feminine

Fear….the final frontier – where no woman has gone before….well, at least not in our lifetime. What most of us as women (and human beings) will be dealing with in the coming few decades is the new feminine rising.

Or…the Feminine Christ…the Divine Feminine.....the higher consciousness of earth – the female faces of god (goddess). I don’t often talk about this subject or even write about it…mostly because I really don’t know what to say (strange for me! LOL).

Sometimes, describing what I feel and sense is the easy part....timing is the rest of it. 

What I do seem to get my head around however, is that this feminine aspect of our beings has been pushed down (bashed around) and pretty nearly destroyed by the way we have been living throughout these past centuries.

But, I guess that was the entire point, wasn’t it? Remove this side of our humanity until it was completely out of the picture. Of course all that was ultimately achieved was that it (the divine feminine) went into hiding….

Having been hidden for so long and so deeply…will we even recognize these powerful feminine ways once they re-surface in us? Or will we assume they are something else altogether?

For many of us we have long been grappling with our feminine sides, often losing out to the current male based belief system. I mean, look at what I do, an Intuitive (can’t be more feminine that that!) who uses her skills to help others heal and move forward in a gentle, spiritual and non-invasive way.

That about sums it up though….feminine energy is the most powerful drive on earth…it is a gentle, spiritual and non-invasive 'force' that when working fully, acts as a guide, a healer, muse and mentor - connects us to all living things.

But that is only the beginning of this power.....

We all have it (those of us who are human anyway), we all need it – yet it is feared beyond anything else on this planet….

Stop, Breathe, Listen and Be Part of It All - Intuition

Sometimes I just feel as if I need to come right out and just say it - all of it. Of course, there is one little problem, I am still trying to sort out what ALL of it is LOL. So, I have to settle for coherent sentences for now...

Well, it has been a wild few days - but only in terms of energy shifting around me while I do this cleanse. It has moved and brought up far more this time around then ever before - making me think that I am finally getting to the bottom of the barrel.

It has been quite a trip so far - I am certainly looking forward to continuing to get myself back to 'myself'. One thing that has risen to the surface so to speak is my intuition. It appears to be deepening, changing in some way.

I find this quite interesting because I have long relied on my intuition to 'tell' me things, guide me or to let me know in which direction to go. So, this is as per usual - however, what has shifted is the type and amount of information that is coming up.

The reason I wanted to mention this is perhaps because I have had many occasions over my life time to speak with new mothers, therapists, healers, those walking a spiritual path, sick people and others who are feeling confused about where to go or how to proceed in their lives. 

One of the underlying fundamental missing elements here is their intuition.

Of course, their intuition is 'there' in their bodies - however they are either not listening to it or being told to ignore it, push it down and even in many instances feeling (or being told) that what their body is saying, is wrong.

What is worse is that this precious sixth sense is often scoffed at....

Recently I spoke with a first time new mother, she had serious misgivings about some advice being given to her by a doctor and mentioned to him that her intuition was telling her to take a different approach with her baby.

Once he had completely dismissed her opinion, her intuition and her doubts - she knew she was not being taken seriously as a human being as well as a new mother who knows her baby best. Thankfully she decided to listen to her gut feeling and everyone was well served because of it.

This is only one 'function' of our inner knowing, body's voice or this sense that comes over us when we need to be guided in some way by our bodies. It is an important, vital and useful tool to have, and I have no doubt it has saved not only my life, but countless others.

If you are not listening, not yet paying attention or don't know where to start to find that inner voice - change your diet, start exercising and practice listening to your body. The voice is there - it's just buried under the crowd of toxins, electronic waves and nonsense interference we walk through each day.

Why is this so important? This voice is part of your inner communication systems - this world is toxic, and so mixed up sometimes, however, it still has so much goodness, wonder and great things to offer us. Your intuition is like a doorway into these worlds....

Stop, breathe, listen and be part of it all

Let's Talk About Fear....

So, I guess it's about time I mentioned this little feature (or 'fear'ture) of our current daily life. You cannot open the newspaper, turn on the tele (thankfully I don't have one) or even speak with someone without fear coming into the conversation, equation or guiding our thoughts in some way...

Try a little experiment and see if you can actually find some purely positive article, report, news brief, or even have a conversation... especially these days. From the state of the economy, the mess our health is in, to bullying in the schools - even the uplifting stories have a heaviness about them.

There is one main point I want to make here about fear and perhaps what to do about it. For the most part we are not even dealing with our own energy - our bodies have filled up with darkness, stress and low vibrations from absolutely everything around us.

Because of the way we eat, the water we drink, the poisons and toxins we breathe in, the chemicals we are exposed to from the first day of life - and each of the above situations we find our selves exposed to - we have become accustomed to a steady diet of negativity or fear based thinking.

Let me explain this from an intuitive perspective.... 

When you are fed 'food' made in a factory (by machines, tired and frustrated employees), all the goodness (read life force) is taken out of this food during the processing or manufacturing of each package, can, box and bag - you take in a substance devoid of positivity.

That's one thing. Then because this food is making us ill, our cells are not detoxing or functioning properly, we take concoctions made in a lab from synthetic chemicals (additives, toxins) to fix, heal or change the bodies response and we fill even further with darkness.

What is worse we are given antibiotics (against life!?), when our bodies attempt to shift this energy, which kill off any remaining colonies of beneficial bacteria so necessary for sustaining and maintaining ALL of life's positive forces. Yeast, mold, fungus and non-beneficial bacteria take over certain areas of our guts (skin and mucous membranes) ensuring further negative balance. 

And we continue to fill up with fear. 

All of this leads to bodies built cell by cell without love.  

This is a new year, perhaps it's time to do something about it.

Ghosts In the Machine....

October seems to be the appropriate time of year to be discussing some other aspects of our energetic make-up here on this planet – being the month of darkness, change and ending with Samhain - it’s a good time to talk about energy vampires. 

Now, there are several types of people who are drainers, users and the run of the mill waste of space. Not all of these people are former humans, but enough of them are – just look at the current preoccupation with all things dead, paranormal, ghost, vampire and alien. 

I call these people the walking dead – people who have passed their ‘sell by’ date and really shouldn’t be here.  Don’t think this is possible? We all know of someone who is like a black hole – unhappy, can’t be filled up, loveless and empty looking in their eyes. 

If a person is not supposed to be here at this time – their contract has expired so to speak and their personal destiny has been cancelled. Therefore they will ‘borrow’ someone else’s to fill in the blanks in their own lives. 

Perhaps they have ‘survived’ some health crisis or near death experience and have managed to hang onto life via those around them. They are everywhere – the planet is virtually crawling with the living dead, empty hollow shells of human flesh – the worst ones are those who are good at it. 

By this I mean, you can hardly tell this person has no soul, unless this is something you have seen before and are familiar with. You would be able to see it in their eyes mainly but many times in their actions as well. They would be clever at hiding their true identity by way of a mask – and this is where you come in. 

You would have some connection with this person in another time or past life – most often in some negative manner. I have seen several times where there was a revenge motive or some personal vendetta on behalf of the ghost entity. This person was hanging around to get all they could from the chosen prey.

They will take over certain aspects of your life (creative force) and live as if this was their own. Making no distinction between you and them – ownership or taking over your life. Of course this causes untold frustration with yourself like you wouldn’t believe. 

You just can’t seem to move forward, plans don’t work out and dreams never seem to come true. It’s as if you are living someone else’s life and you can’t shake it off no matter what you do.

Physical symptoms of having a ghost hanging around you (energy attachment) are feeling cold, this coldness comes up from the bones especially in the hands. Light headed at times, increased appetite, even feeling hungry after eating a big meal, pain in the body usually at the back, kidney, bladder and lymph issues are common. As are hormonal dysfunction, imbalance and often thyroid issues. 

Your personality will also be affected by these ghosts – you never fully develop your own unique attributes because they have been over shadowed by this other entity. In terms of energy, it doesn’t matter when this attachment occurred, once there, the energy field is affected for all time. 

How do I know all of this? Well, I am an Intuitive and work closely with energy and also from my own personal experiences. I always knew she had some sort of power or control over me and could never figure it out until….

During a time in my life when my son was still only a baby I started to get these very strong feelings – almost as if a voice was speaking above my own. Like being shouted down in some way. This voice was telling me to leave my husband, that things were bad between us and my marriage was in trouble.

The only problem was – I was living with the love of my life, we were then and always have been very close. You could say even soul-mates. At that point in time we had already been married for over 12 years and were as happy as we knew how to be.

I had no intention of leaving my marriage and wanted to get to the bottom of these feelings – I don’t know if I can even describe it properly – they were so strong I would sit and cry. I did not know what was happening and I was so confused. 

Time passed, my husband and I talked about it, and I worked my way through this energy overlaying mine. Then about 2 months after this all started, I found out this person who I knew was using my energy was leaving her partner in a very messy break-up. 

My intuition had been right, I had been taking it all on board and had been all of my life. Looking back I could see how I had been influenced, undermined, bullied and used by this person. But worst of all – it completely covered up who I was, what I was here to do and my true self. 

 Once I could see all of this clearly,  I was now on a quest to remove myself from under her spell. It has taken me years to dissolve this energy pattern, so deep it was intertwined with my own. Lifetimes of crossover and outside interference has given me lots of work to do on myself.   

The only thing to dissolve this fully? Detox, cleanses, fasting and a total clean up of my diet, health and lifestyle. Of course the inner child therapy didn’t hurt either…. 

I would love your comments on this – or if too personal, email me. There is so much you can do to get your life back.

Universal Energy Laws 

Improve Your Intuition

Intuition as far as I am concerned is a muscle, it brings together many parts of your body such as the pineal gland, the heart, the gut and the brain, and then you ‘process’ a piece of information or a perception of something through these organs. Therefore, your body systems do need to be working at least at some level.

Intuition can be understood as an direct knowing or inner sense of self, in this way, you can engage your body in working through an issue or a problem. 

Intuition for the most part is not a valued skill in our modern world, and is much maligned by certain sections of society. Yet we rely on its presence far more than we realize as it is an intrinsic aspect of life on this planet.

In general, nearly all of the toxins in our food and especially the water, are designed to push down our intuition (your inner sense of knowing). 

There seems to be none worse for the pineal gland or thrid eye than flouride. This is one of the most important reasons to find a source of clean water as well as to not use fluoride toothpaste or eat a lot of processed foods.

Another part of the puzzle here that is forgotten about is the energy field, this plays a key role in your intuition- a stong energy field will enable you to discern or recognize good/evil, right/wrong, truth/lies, and so on. 

Your energy field is like a filter, a covering and a buffer zone around your body that lets information in. This is why it is vital to Close Energy Leaks© (Windows) and reduce the amount of leaking energy. And heal the energy field through various means such as diet, fasting, exericse and so forth. 

The following are Key Elements in Intuition, in order to build a deeper relationship with yourself:

• Trust

• Diet

• Exercise

• Energy Work

• Energy Field

• Herbs

• Environment

• Reduce Toxins

• Reduce Stress

• Listen, Observe, Follow

The intuition or body’s voice is not loud, aggressive or pushy. It is gentle, subtle, and soft like a whisper washing over you. It feels like it has come up from somewhere very deep and has been pushed out into the spaces around you for you to hear. Like a voice calling from very far away, it has an ‘echo’- this voice will persist, until you listen. 

Making changes in your life to enhance health and healing will also develop and improve your intuition.

Self-Care and Listening to Your Inner Voice

Self-care is something that should be a no-brainer for those of us who are healers, energy workers, therapists and all manner of carer, who have taken up the mantle of walking the spiritual path. We are constantly advising others on how to better care for themselves, body, mind and spirit, especially those on an inner journey, however....

Here we are late at night, tired, run down, feeling low - neglected. How is it we ourselves have not made it onto the priority list for some special (or even quite ordinary) treatment? Why do we consistently undervalue our own personal needs above all others?

I don't think this is a healthy pattern, it is not a 'selfless act', nor should it even be still an issue at this stage in the game. Yet, for so many (me included) our bodies 'ask' (tiny little nudge like a whisper of breath on the cheek) for something and we ignore it.

Why does this matter so much and why must we do something about it? 

Because this behaviour leads to inattention. Living, working, existing, day in and day out with the only consistent pattern being one of continuously ignoring our own inner voice, instincts and intuition is not healthy, is not appropriate and cannot possibly foster safety and security on the road to home.

But we all do it. There have been years and years of practice under our collective belts where we clearly hear, understand and know exactly what we should/need/could/ be doing however, this simply falls away, like words on wind.

How on earth will we ever pay attention to the BIG things, if we cannot be reassuring our bodies we are listening and following through with the smaller, more mundane matters in life? Our bodies need to know we trust in it's ability to keep us healthy, safe and on the right track.

These spiritual bodies also need to develop that same faith in us - that we can hear it, we will listen and then act on it's needs.  

This communication thing with the body, mind and soul works both ways here - we hear our body's voice and 'it' listens back. All communication, in a healthy system should operate in this way, requests and needs can be made known to all parties.

Once these channels have opened up, new levels of trust are free to develop, more and deeper understanding can take place and the real magic of living, exactly as you are meant to in this realm, can move into existence. 

5 Ways to Practice Listening to Your Body's Voice

• Take a break - away from computers, television, radio, cell phones, electromagnetic clutter - too much of this can damage delicate energy fields

• Get Outside - fresh air, gardens, trees, flowers, the beach, all of nature is tuned into a higher frequency, ground yourself in it

• Exercise - move your body, pay attention as activity works muscles and pumps blood

• Write - sometimes writing gets energy flowing from the brain, heart, mind etc. taking messages outwards

• Pay Attention - signs, messages, information are all around you, constantly, read the signposts, look for hidden symbols, things are not at all what they may seem

These are only a few ways to train yourself to pay attention and listen to your body's voice, the key here is to be consistent with all you are doing. Exercise each day, get into your garden often, remove any rubbish still sneaking into your diet and take some time each day to yourself, even it is in the shower. 

Care of the self is a far more vital piece of walking a spiritual path then we have been led to believe. Giving ALL of our energy, resources, time and attention away to others is not an act of generosity, it appears to be a pattern of self neglect we have fallen into. 

We cannot listen or be trusted with higher levels of consciousness if we are operating on spent energy. Now is the time to make some fundamental changes to how, when, why and where you will listen. Your body will take care of the 'what'.

Have a healthy day,

April
