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.

On Being A Medical Intuitive.....

April Danann –  A few comments 'On Being a Medical Intuitive'

Even after all of this time I still have to stop, take a deep breath and collect my thoughts whenever someone asks me what it’s like to be a Medical Intuitive or indeed even what an intuitive does or how I work.

But it has also come to my attention time and again, how – there is little or nothing about the fact that I am a Medical Intuitive on my market stall – perhaps there is only the results of what I do…..I create each of my products by hand, in tiny batches by following and carefully ‘listening’ to my intuition.

So, I thought I would put something down in words to help me sort this all out! LOL

Being an intuitive means that I have the ability to listen, to anything and  everything living (and dead, but that’s another post), but more specifically, listening to what our bodies are 'communicating' from systems, organs, tissues and cells; when I choose to tune in, and sometimes even when I don’t!

Being an intuitive for me is exactly like picking up on a specific frequency and then being able to understand exactly what is being said. (It's a little like a radio might work) And often hearing what is not being said or indeed what needs to be expressed and is not (does that make sense?).

However, when I do a reading I also hear, see, smell, taste, read and understand what a body is ‘saying’  forming spiritual, emotional and energetic components too. This can then all be put together into a formal report – the current state of the body or…..

What your body would like you to know right now. It comes together very easily for me because I have been aware of this ability since I was 3 years old (at least that's as far back as I can remember) and working professionally with it since I was 17. 

And I love what I do. It's because I am Intuitive I have taken my studies into the science of microbiology, food, nutrition and exercise - each of these are then combined into a base of knowledge I can draw upon with each reading I do. 

As I say on my card……

‘Your body’s voice is not loud, aggressive or pushy. It is gentle, subtle and soft like a whisper washing over you. It feels as if 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’.

Is it really Self Sabotage or is it Opposition?

***I just found something I was working on the day of the last big storm (you know, the hurricane?!)

Self Sabotage or Opposition

I have spent years blaming myself for everything that I did and didn’t do. Or started out to do and then found myself unable to continue because nearly everything in the world went wrong - all because I started a diet or an exercise programme or decided to have a positive day.

Can anyone else relate to this? LOL

Well today I am fasting – thankfully a lot of that believing in self-sabotage is far behind me, because now I can see clearly how much of what was taking place was simply ‘opposition’, obstacles and resistance. 

Of course I wanted to look up what opposition means, but once I began to write this article, the latest Atlantic storm has kicked in with gusto, the internet has gone down (again) and the electricity is flickering. 

But, there cannot possibly be anyone out there (up there?) ‘opposed’ to what ordinary people like you and me are doing way down here on terra firma, can there?

But then, as a Medical Intuitive, I would always stop and think, no not out there or up there, but ‘in here’. Somewhere held deeply inside of our tissues are the seeds of another world or worlds. 

We are made of stars….or an entire Universe, one we have yet to create, because the current world we are living in holds us captive.

So, in this situation it is always best persevere and wait for the internet to come back on….ahh, here it is; when looking up exactly what opposition means, of course the first word I come across is to resist. This is interesting in itself because resistance implies negative connotations from the outset.

However, opposition also means the opposite, something that is in contrast or serves as an obstacle to a situation. This of course tends to place many forms of opposition in direct conflict with all we are trying to achieve in our lives.

When I feel, experience and think of opposition or even sabotage, my mind wanders to all the ways and means we think, want, desire but do not or cannot seem to ‘do’. There is an energetic resistance out there and in here that needs to be overcome. 

I guess at the end of it all – these storms, this weather and all that is taking place around us, is in us as well. Mother Earth has been having a moment or some would say a fit for several weeks now in the North Atlantic.

Perhaps she is leveling the opposition for those of us walking a certain path….
