Bottom of Form Healing after Betrayal – Is it Possible? Betrayal is a breaking of trust and goodwill in a relationship that can take a long time to heal from and can leave us changed forever.  It has broken marriages, ended long term friendships and created rifts in families that can span generations.  It can happen suddenly and leave us feeling shocked, as in the case of an exposed affair. Or it can happen over time, involving a series of lies or indiscretions that deteriorate trust and respect. Whether it’s our good friend, partner, work colleague, sibling or parent, many of us have experienced the specific wounding that is felt from betrayal.  How do we get betrayed?  Our betrayal could be caused through a broken promise, ...

I have since lost the ability, however, I used to practice a form of channeling -- meaning, I would sit in silence, say a prayer of protection, and then, without judging the words, simply let them flow in a stream of consciousness. Although my heart could always feel the intent of the message, often reducing me to tears as I typed, from my mind's perspective, it often seemed as though I was writing gibberish -- this because the words only flowed one or two at a time, without any conscious foreknowledge of the subject at hand. Thus, it often came as an exciting surprise to finish the exercise and find coherent thoughts and ideas expressed on the page. This was the case on December 30, 2007, when I channeled a message from a source that si...

Last week I was assisting with a Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy training here in Vancouver BC. The tutor for this block was Steve Haines, this was my first time meeting him. He teaches in London and Switzerland as well as on the Body Intelligence courses which happen all over the world. It is really great getting a different teacher, and finding out how they do things. Steve Haines style is very verbal as well as very open and precise. I found it rather challenging, to be honest, because being verbal is probably the area that I have the most trouble with. I like to be quiet and just listen to the client’s system. When I stopped and thought about it during the training this week, I realised that every time I had a really powerful sessi...

When you think of self-harming what comes to mind? Usually for me it’s an image of a young woman cutting her skin with a razor blade enough to draw blood but not enough to kill. However last night I got a completely different sense of self –harming; it’s actually what I’ve been doing to myself for years and I can assure you I’ve never wielded a razor blade except against unwanted hair!I’ve been on a journey of personal discovery for over twenty years and often wonder if I’ve achieved much in that time. I do know I’ve had many aha moments, which are absolute food for my soul. I love those dazzling moments of pure clarity when the underlying structure is revealed to me about my behaviour, thought patterns, expectations etc. Last weeke...

Angelic Approval Lately I have discovered a key in many of our lives, a key which can drive us, inspire us, make us feel good, however it can equally be a source of much frustration, anger, resentment and self-hate, this key, whichever way you choose to look at it is, Approval. Many of us will have experienced a person in life whom we want to please but it is when this pleasing comes at a price of self sacrifice and inner turmoil, that we must then acknowledge the reason behind wanting to please them. Is it that we our dependent on them loving us, for us to love us, are we waiting for them to make us feel good and “happy” with ourselves, if this is the case then I suggest we stop and take a moment to reflect on this addiction , for t...

Imagine for a moment you're six years old... Life is fairly simple and straightforward, you live in the countryside. Yet, not long into your schooling, you're in a bible study class. You're told you were made in the image of God. This makes no sense; the images you have of God are male, old and grey. In one of your special hideaways – the place where you go to ponder and reflect, even at that tender age – and you have a spiritual realisation. But of course you don't call it that, you're only six! You see that God is nature. God is the water, the air, the earth, nature in its entirety. It all suddenly makes sense. In next week's bible study, you share your insight. God is nature. Yes! I am God. “Are you a Hindu?”...

I heard yesterday that Kevala - one of the world's longest established and best loved therapy training schools - has ceased training. I was briefly Principal when the school, that did most of its training by distance learning across a wide range of holistic disciplines, was based in Torquay. It was there too that collaborative song 'The Moon (Kevala Whispers)' was written. It's one thing to hear of lay-offs and closures in the globalised business environment, but another to feel the recessionary pinch closer to home among smaller scale enterprises that I trust in some way are changing the world for the better. And my concern intensified this morning as I heard of the closure of another apparently life-enhancing organisation - The Li...

As an energy sensitive or 'clairsentient' you could say my life is one big energy food fight! I am bombarded by a finger buffet of energies every day. Not only do I sense the energies of person & place but I regularly receive subtle energy downloads from our collective consciousness & unconsciousness as well as finer, higher divine/cosmic downloads about life, the Universe & everything. This serves me well in my work as a healer, consciousness coach & spiritual guide as you can imagine. What this also means is that I am regularly contacted by people who think I may be interested in the latest channelled materials, newest healing modality, emerging guru, new energies or the latest intergalactic portal that has opened up. I am gratef...
