I'm Sorry, Forgive me, Thank You, I Love You

The past couple months I have been playing the victim and using something that happened as work as an excuse to leave. That was really immature of me. I kept thinking "if they don't transfer me soon" I will leave and start a healing business. When the option was finally on the table, I didn't feel the offer was  right for me. Instead I asked for the chance to work part-time. That would give me time to work on my healing and writing, which is what I'm most interested in. The thought had occurred to me on several occasions but I kept pushing it away. Staying in my existing job would have been the safe thing to do. 

Something happened in July that pissed me off, and that is when I decided to go. In hindsight that event helped me out. It gave me the guts to acknowledge what I wanted. Otherwise, I would have stayed on full time, when I really want to do healing. My reasons for staying at my job were mostly fear based. The big question is whether I can sell enough books in my 1st year to keep my work visa in the UK. I need to sell about 10K copies, which doesn't sound impossible. I think I can do it, especially with my family, friends and Facebook friends behind me. I have this neat little support group that I am very grateful for! 

It all started to click yesterday when I googled a healing technique called Ho'oponopono. It is a Hawaiian healing method that requires the healee to take responsibility for every good or bad thing happening in their life. I had heard the theory that thought creates reality. This takes it one step further by encouraging the healee to apologise to themself for creating the situation, forgiving themself, and then thanking God for giving them the chance to start over. The whole process takes seconds, and all you need to do is repeat: 

"I'm sorry, forgive me, thank you, I love you."

By repeating those words, you ask for forgiveness, give it, thank God for giving you a clean slate, and then say I love you to your subconscious. I also hear this exchange is directed at your inner child. The inner child is said to create the external situations and stressors in your life, with your actions, beliefs and thoughts influencing it. I imagine it would also create the good things. You can also apologize to other people, though I'm not sure if this is  done out loud and in person, or just on an energetic level.

The past two days I have been directing my intent at this situation, whilst repeating "I'm sorry, forgive me, thank you, I love you" at myself and at anyone who was involved. Quietly of course, I don't say it out loud. Most of the time I say the words to myself, apologising for creating anger and stress through my reactions. I'll move on to another issue when I am done with this one. Off the top of my head, I think this could work with chronic pain. Louise Hay states that pain is about punishment, so this forgiving and loving meditation could work on it. I'll let you know how I get on with it.

Why Esoteric Bookstores Aren't for Me

As a teenager, I was fluent in French. I hardly ever practice these days and it is starting to slip. This weekend I made it my mission to buy a french language book on energy healing. I'd love to learn about healing and practice my French in one go! We walked all over Paris today and eventually found ourselves outside an esoteric bookshop. It was part of a chain. Each location has a theme, so if you're looking for something in particular you need to find the store before you set out. It can be annoying to walk past 5 or 6 stores before you find one that covers what you're looking for, but there are benefits too. When you finally find your store, there will be tons of books on the topic. 

If I walk into a Waterstone's, the Mind Body Spirit section might be one or two bookshelves. At the Esoteric shop, all of the books are on topics like personal development, spirituality, divination, occultism, Kabbalah, astrology, channeling, magic, buddhism, hinduism, tantra, meditation, animal communication, dream interpretation, and numerology. I spent forty minutes browsing and left without buying anything. There were way too many choices, and more than that, the energy in the shop was too much for me to handle! Most of the books were used. Maybe that is why I felt confused and overwhelmed when I was in there. They had too much energy lingering on them. Lots of energetic gunk. 

I couldn't find a single one that I wanted to read. At first I thought it was my rusty French that made it harder to relate to the descriptions. Then I started wondering, who were all these authors and where did they get their information? Why should I read their books? I have too many ideas in my head already. Still wanting to practice my French, I started looking for English or American author's whose work had been translated. There were lots of Doreen Virtue, Neal Donald Walsh and Wayne Dyer books. I couldn't bring myself to buy any of them. It wasn't the first time I left an alternative shop empty handed. 

The same thing happened when I went to a store near Covent Garden in London. I had to leave that one because I got a bad stomach ache. One of my friends was waiting for a reading and I started getting very anxious. It took a while for it to wear off. I think picked something up in there. I only felt like myself again when I walked into a public loo and told it to flush itself. LOL. That was an experience I don't want to repeat. 

Today I bathed myself in a white light when we left the store. It is just dawning on me that I could have protected myself when I went in there. Esoteric shops can be full of gunk. I still prefer my mainstream book stores. And when it comes to crystals, I will stop by the Natural History Museum for "mass produced crystals". I'd rather buy something that has been handled by dozens of tourists, and not healers, psychics and spiritualists. The place feels clearer because they haven't been used.

Color Healing and Shopping!


This morning I woke up at 9.30 am stressed because it was late. I don't know what's wrong with me! I think it is the pressure. I want to get by book edited as soon as possible, but it’s finally starting to dawn on me that I shouldn’t be in such a hurry. I am almost done, and I should be ready to publish the book before January. So instead of sitting down to work, I went shopping. Yes, shopping! Sometimes a girl needs to buy new clothes. It has been cold in London, and my winter clothes are worn out. That is what happens when I shop at H&M and Zara.  Clothes don't last as long as they used to. Time to get new sweaters and long sleeve T's. I went to Uniqlo and spend 20 minutes trying on jackets in different colours. Blue is usually my colour, but the one I saw today was dark. I need some colour in my life! I finally settled on brown, which is great for grounding, and made my way to the checkout counter. 

On my way out, I spotted the same jacket in pale blue and in white. I don't know how I missed them! Thirty seconds later I was trying them on in front of the mirror. Light and bright colours make me feel so much better than dark ones. Ever since I moved to London my wardrobe has gone navy, gray and black. It's time I put a stop to that. Today I realised that I can practice colour healing when I go shopping, especially if I go into a store with the same things in millions of different colours. What is colour healing, you may ask? Colour and sound both have vibrational qualities that we can use to give our frequency a tune up. Red grounds and activates my energy. White and silver clear and raise my vibration. They can also protect me, as does the colour purple. I love purple, green, red and white. Those are the colours I should be wearing. Pale blue has a healing quality to it. I don't relate to orange and yellow. A couple years ago, a substitute teacher came to my psychic development class with a pile of ribbons. He threw them on a pile in the middle of the floor and told us to choose the one that we were drawn to. I went for violet. We then used the colours to give each other psychic readings. One of my classmates picked a bright red ribbon, and when I tuned it, I saw a lollipop. It was about her childish appetite for life. My violet ribbon was about my crown chakra opening up to intuition and spirit. 

Colour Healing may be about using the vibrational quality of colour to heal our energy system, but it can also tell you a lot about yourself. Ask yourself what you see in a particular colour. How does it make you feel? I think this is why some people talk about being "green with envy" or "feeling blue". We can relate to the intuitive world of feelings through colours  Today I'm pale blue. Tomorrow I might leave the house wearing red or black. Black can be elegant, and it can also help camouflage your feelings. It's black, but not dark. I love walking into a store and finding clothes that come in zillions of colours. Today I went back to the sales desk and exchanged the jacket. It shouldn't have been necessary to try them on so many times, but I had to feel it to make the choice. I hope its cold this weekend!

Spiritual Response and Restructuring - with Amanda Roberts


I'm really pleased to introduce a guest post by Amanda Roberts, one of my tutors at the The College of Psychic StudiesAmanda is a healer, speaker and medium specialising in Spiritual Response Therapy and Spiritual Restructuring. I've invited Amanda to tell us about her exciting plans for this weekend's Mind Body Soul exhibit in London. 


"Four Days to go and I shall be ready to have my first exhibition. Yes you can find me at the Mind, Body, Soul Exhibition this coming Friday 28th September at Olympia in London. All very exciting but also rather scary as I am taking a big step. I am not only exhibiting but also rebranding myself as myself at the same time. Why not do everything at once? It’s a daring move, but also brilliant timing as it is the perfect platform to launch the ‘new’ me.

After years as Bodykarm I am finally going to be Amanda Roberts. Amanda Roberts – Healer, Speaker, Medium.  No more hiding behind a company name. I am going to finally step out into the limelight as myself. It’s a challenging mental shift in a way that I had not considered in full when I ventured in it! It is also very exciting.  It is full of possibilities and new unexplored avenues and doorways.

Lots of planning, lots of work and lots of expense, and of course, administration – I admit I have fantastic assistance on the last front though I do have to do everything else myself.

I’ve had my business colours done, logo re-designed, new artwork for leaflets, business cards etc, but there is printing still to be done and the website is a glorious work in progress – and fingers crossed everything will come into fruition by Thursday 27th September in time for the Exhibition." 


Visit Amanda at Stand T9 in the new Treatment Experience Zone this weekend. She has kindly shared the following with us in anticipation of this weekend's event. Visit her stand at the MBS to inquire about an introductory session:

Amanda will be offering a FREE workshop on Spiritual Restructuring this  Friday the 29th at 2.45 pm in Room 2 at the Mind Body Soul exhibit. Come along, find out more and experience it for yourself. 


What is Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT)?

SRT clears past lives and negative energy so that we can fulfil our highest potential. Within this the practitioner connects with your Higher Self through using charts and a pendulum to douse to clear your soul records so that healing and change can occur.

The world keeps on spinning


I'm exhausted! Splitting my time across three jobs is as complicated as it sounds.  It just so happens that when I resigned, the company was going to transfer me. It went ahead, and I'm working one morning on my old job, two and a half days on the "new job" and Thursday and Friday I write my Energy Healing book! 

It is lovely to have a three day week, but sticking to that split is a challenge. Today I spent too much time doing the "old" job and I have to catch up on everything tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll spend Thursday doing my "new" job instead of revising my book. My week sounds crazy. Maybe this is an opportunity for me to learn boundaries? Or to prioritize?


Aaaah!

My three day a week notice period is a fantastic opportunity for me to transition into my new life. But juggling it is hard. I'm going to collapse when I get home tonight. I'm so tired that I almost wish I wasn't going to Paris for the weekend! My life feels like a noisy carousel with flashing lights and spinning attractions. If it doesn't slow down I might punch a clown. Is that healerly enough for you? LOL.

Are Psychic Readings just Common Sense?

Sometimes I wonder if psychic readings are just common sense on steroids. The literal meaning of the word clairvoyance is "too see clearly," and  this has little to do with visualisation, symbols and images. It is about being able to see people, situations and challenges clearly and then using that vision to formulate a plan of action. This isn't to see that clairvoyant images have no role in readings. On some occasions I might get a symbol about what a situation means. 

For example, you could get a "stop sign" or a green light. In my daily life I won't activate my brow chakra all the time, and instead of an image I'll just understand things faster. I also think my mind is good at making connections and sometimes intuition kicks in and helps with these. Sometimes it feels like common sense and not intuition. I do wonder what that is about though, especially when things appear to be so obvious but other people just don't see them. Then again, it is so much easier to spot someone else's problem. My own can be very elusive! 

Today I gave my boss a psychic reading. I didn't mean to and she didn't ask for one. She asked for advice, and my mind kicked into channeling mode. I had to tone it down to make it work-friendly but it was a reading. With clients we're taught to tell it like it is.  In this case I had to be sure the words I said sounded professional and I found myself word-smithing the reading to give it corporate lingo. We talked about growth opportunities instead of karmic lessons and soul contracts.I didn't say half of the things that were running through my mind because they might not be tactful. It went over well though and I think it helped her. If anything, it made me realise that I'm ready to start coaching people. Call it a psychic reading, intuitive coaching, or common sensical advice.  

Have you ever seen the movie Cool Runnings? This is what intuition, clairvoyance and meditation can do for you. Love it!
