As a Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother, and Yes I actually am ‘that old’ [said with a smile] I have had many years to be around varying levels of a ‘Younger Generation’.

This year I have been especially blessed, in connecting with my own children and grandchildren who I had not see in some time, years in fact due to geographic distances, and especially with the children of a wonderful friend and colleague with whom I have been staying.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of helping their mother surprise her nineteen year old son with his first car. Not a shiny expensive toy for a spoilt child, a neat clean twenty five year old vehicle which has been well maintained, and will be lovingly driven by a grateful young man.

Chris was aware that he would be getting his car, which was a late birthday present, however had not been expecting it until later in the week. Despite having a need for it to get him to a new second [2nd] job he was starting this morning, he had cheerfully made alternative arrangements to travel there with a friend who lives some suburbs away. This would have necessitated him traveling to his friends home at around midnight, to stay the night, before beginning his new job this morning

The look of surprise and joy on his face last night when his mother and I collected him from work at 11.30pm with his ‘new car’ was priceless.

This young man is a credit to his mother. A polite, well mannered, musical and more especially drug free teenager, who ‘counsels’ those of his friends who are in need. He is open to the alternatives of healing that his mother and I offer and will openly request assistance when he feels it is required.

In all honesty, a pleasure to be around.

So thank you Chris, for accepting me into your home and your family, and allowing me to be a part of a wonderful memory.

For those of you with a Younger Generation in your life, enjoy them while you can, they soon grow up and away.

Peace Love and Light

Well friends, I can admit that I did attempt to add a photo, however it appeared not to work very well, as I ended up with a blank page. Now that could change when I hit the publish button,!! However having tried that , NO it didnt. So Not a photo in sight, despite it uploading etc onto my screen, and being in the photo gallery as well, so I just have got it half right.

Now, if I look at the word “half” , and I honestly did nor start out to do so, can I ask are you a ‘half full, or a half empty’ person?

So many times I talk to people who come form the ‘half empty’ perspective, and I know we are all individual, however to me it appears to be a lost or defeatist attitude.

I remember my beloved Nan, [Paternal Grandmother] who used to say when she saw some one with a severe disability, ‘There but for the grace of God go I’. Many years ago  now, I had reason to remember that saying when I was bemoaning [to myself] that I was stuck in a wheel chair and couldn’t walk. I detested being ‘pushed’ around by my wonderful family and friends, and I was having a ‘feel sorry for my self day’.

So what happened?  The people in front of my chair, we were on a city sidewalk or pavement, thinned out, and coming towards me on crutches was a man with out any legs. Both of his legs were severed at knee level.

I do not know who the man was, I had never seen him before nor seen him since, yet he had a profound eccect on my thinking. How could I complain about not being able to walk, when I still had both of my legs?.

For those of tou who have never been ‘disabled’ or wheelchair bound, it is often a scary experience, people literally do not see you, the ‘see’ the person who is pushing the chair, ”you are well below their line of sight’ in most instances. I have often expected some one to ‘land in my lap’, just because they werent seeing the chair or ME, and there have been some near misses back in those days.

Last year I was out walking with a friend, and we met up with a mutual friend and her Mother. We stopped to say hello, and I moved around to the front of the wheel chair to engage my friends mother in conversation, commenting to her as I did so that  most people forget about you when you are in a chair’

I went home and wrote a poem  that day about being in a wheel chair, I will find it and add it to the Poetry pages.

So why did I go onto a glass half full and a glass half empty, when I stated to talk about my not being computer literate??

Well, I am honestly NOT very computer literate, and I did not manage to add a photo to this page, However I have not got in the photo gallery for this site a photo of myself and my colleague Debbie, taken a few weeks ago, that I can share with you shortly, so definitely some thing to celebrate there.

Until we talk again

Thank you for being with me

Loops and energetic patterns are something I have long been aware of, however had not given a great deal of thought to until  about two years ago when a new sound was created called ‘Discreating Causal Loops ‘This sound came about from a conversation between my colleague Susan and I whilst sitting in her car in the driveway of the house I was living in whilst I was in Sydney.

Today as I loaded the explanation of that sound onto this site, I pondered just how many people live their life in a loop?  Do you find that you follow a pattern or a habit of doing something, ‘just because’, or that you are ‘trained’ into a specific loop of thinking, or being? These issues could well be described as a ‘Causal Loop’.

So what is a Causal Loop? I believe it is an energetic pattern which keeps repeating itself over and over again, Similar if you like to the train sets or racing car tracks many small boys / and girls have played with over the years. The train or the little car keeps on doing loops or circuits of the track, and unless an enterprising child is able to create an ‘off ramp or side track’ or there is a derailment, the ‘vehicle’ keeps following the same path.

There are many instances in people’s lives where they keep following the same patterns or loops, and often no matter how hard they try they just can’t seem to break out of them. Why? because the mind and body become ‘entrained’ into that pattern or loop, and it becomes automatic to just keep following it.

The Discreating Causal Loops sounds  allows you to move forward, and discreates the Causal loops that have kept you locked into a pattern, do you need to know what the loops are? Well it is always useful for a practitioner to know what they are dealing with, however Discreating Causal Loops works on a deep energetic level to discrete habits and patterns you may not even be aware of.

Does this resonate with you? then I suggest that for more information you see the Appointments and Services page on the site, I may well be able to assist you.

I will write more on this subject in a new article and post it to this site and my Self Growth page at www.selfgrowth.com.

See you soon

“The best laid plans of mice and men” as i have said before, saw me ‘writing/ typing’ a new sound around midnight last night. Not by any means anything unusual under ‘normal’ circumstances, however I had promised my self some ‘earlier’, not early nights this week as a means of honoring myself. Honoring the self is actually a great new sound as yet not officially released, however more on that later…..

The exciting new sound that absolutely needed to be written last night came about through a conversation with my good friend and colleague Debbie Castellano with whom I am currently staying in Melbourne. Debbie is a great practitioner and we work very well together, with her often making the comment at the end of a conversation she has began with me of ‘Well I’ll just leave you with that” , and in many ibnstances it is the impetus for a new sound.

Last night was not any exception and Collapsing Residual Signatures was born.

So what is a Residual Signature?? I believe it is the memory that as a practitioner we ‘take on’ of the experience of the clients illness or disease, so basically we may unconsciously allow an overlay of that persons experiences to attach to us, which we then eventually become ‘burnt out’ from the actual ‘weight’ of carrying such overlays and residual signatures.

Now this may all seem a bit heavy to take in at one sitting, so I plan on writing some articles to explain it in more detail, so look out for those on this site shortly. I also post articles to www.selfgrowth.com, a great practitioner and self development site  where I have a page .

So having ‘written / typed’ at midnight, I was up at 7am to print off the pages of the new sound, and ‘ding the bells’ to it for Debbie before she went to work. Nothing like having a captive audience to activate the creative juices!!!. These ‘bells will of course need to be professionally recorded in the near future, along with a good many more waiting in the wings for their chance to shine. Susan gently reminded me the other day that I have some Sounds descriptions to write up for the Sounds from Source Directory of all sounds site at www.soundsfromsource.com, so look out for those down the track.

Yesterday I received a lovely gift in the mail of some very special essential oils  from my friend and colleague, Carol who I mentioned earlier as I was posting some more  information on the Energetic Balance and Harmony programs, I am meeting with Carol and Lillian, also mentioned earlier in the same information for coffee and a visit to a lady talking about Young Living oils today in Melbourne , so I am looking forward to that

So thank you Debbie, for asking the questions, and for the impetus for a very powerful new sound. Collapsing Residual Signatures, look out fr more information on this one.

Peace Love and Light

Today I have been working on a neglected project which was to list the descriptions of the Energetic Balance and Harmony Practitioner sounds for this site. Now with all of the intent and good will that I had planned to do this, it had not got very far along the drawing board before something else or a number of something else’s took precedence.

So today the project was dusted off, and at least partially reinstated to the front of the line.

I have managed to load some of the descriptions onto the Energetic Balance and Harmony Programs page, and I will endevor to get the rest of them loaded over the next few days.

So why is it important to me to get this specific job finished? Well for a number of reasons, I prefer to have completion as much as possible in the things that I am able to have some say in or control over, and more importantly, I feel it is of benefit to the people who come and browse these pages to have as much information as possible to take away with them should they wish to do so.

The comment that may not mean very much to one person may well strike a cord in another.

Today I sent on to a special young friend of mine who has become like an adopted son, an email forward that I had received and which I felt he would like, it was religious in nature and as he is a Pastor in a small landlocked country of Africa, possibly some thing he may not have seen.

I received a wonderful email in response just a few minutes ago, thanking me and informing me that he had forwarded it on to 618 people who he felt sure would enjoy it also. That email will surely strike some cords as it wings its way around the world.

So please look out for the rest of the ‘explanations’ of the Energetic Balance and Harmony programs, and on the subject of Energetics, I will be announcing the launch of an exciting new web site very shortly called Energetic frequencies which will cover an in depth range of subjects. I am excited about it.

I was going to write this post some 24 hours ago having just watched an interview on an Australian TV show called ACA or A Current Affair.

Now I am not a big television watcher, and in fact will readily admit to not knowing how to turn one on, so I watched this specific program with my friend and colleague with whom I am currently staying. As Energetic Balance and Harmony practitioners we are well aware of the ‘aberrations  in behavior as were described in the interview by the well known parents [Bert and Patty Newton] of a young Australian actor Matthew Newton.

Now this followed closely on the heels of a two night television presentation of the rehabilitation of previous Melbourne AFL footballer Ben Cousins, who’s behaviors had  also been out of control.

Some years ago I worked just once with a young man, then aged twenty four years, who had spent the previous eight years living in what could be described as a ‘time warp’ following getting drunk with his brother on his sixteenth birthday. At  the end of our session, he left a different young man, with such haste to go and ‘see’ the world he had been shut off from that he did not settle his account. A fact which had his sister who had referred him to me, rang me some hours later with many apologies, and the explanation that he had called her and said that ‘I had turned the lights back on for him, and he just raced out after giving me a hug of thanks to explore the world he had missed for so long.

My colleague Debbie Castellano and I conferred both during and after the program, as to the numbers of mis-diagnoseses, and incorrectly treated people who get caught up in the addiction and mental health merry go round, without any chance of getting off it.

Much of my work for many years has been with young people who have self mutilated, been diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, Astbergers syndrome, Obsessive, Addictive and Compulsive behaviors, have had both hard and soft drug and alcohol issues, suicidal tendencies and the like.

There are many fine places which offer Alternative therapies, yet some of them cost the proverbial ‘arm and a leg’ and are out of the price range of the average person wanting help, or are not readily advertised in places where they can be accessed by those searching for assistance.

I have in the past ‘visited’ young people in Psychiatric hospitals under the guise of being a ‘family friend’ as their relatives did not want to ‘rock the boat’ of the conventional treatment they were being given, yet were anxious to give them the best chances possible to succeed in beating their problems.

I have some wonderful success stories from over the years, and a sad loss of a wonderful young woman who eventually took her own life as she battled her families need for her to only accept Western Medicine and Psychiatric treatment, and who actually had her committed to a Psychiatric Center after she admitted to seeking alternative help.

Help is at hand, there are many wonderful alternative practitioners available who specialize in these  seemingly  uncureable fields, and many many reasons as to why both children and adults may exhibit aberrations in behaviors.

For information on the services I offer please see the appointments and services page. You may well change the life of some one close to you.

Peace Love and Light

I received the following message  as an email today, and it touched a cord within me. I too ‘keep’ things, old friends, special trinkets my children now long grown have given to me, memories of times and people gone by, special moments which I have locked away in my heart.

The wonderful friend who sent this to me has been in my life for thirty five years, yes that’s 35 years!!

We have laughed together, cried together, been Mother’s together to numerous children, buried our husbands, moved states on a number of occasions, put on and taken off weight, grown older and not necessarily wiser, and too many more things to list. And yet our friendship has remained, solid and true.

You may like to share this with some one who is a keeper for you, I am not a fan of ‘send it on’ emails, however this one as I said resonated with me. I hope you enjoy it.

Peace Love and Light

Keeper

Their marriage was good, their dreams focused.. Their best friends lived barely a wave away. I can see them now, Dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress; lawn mower in his hand, and dish-towel in hers.. It was the time for fixing things. A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things we keep.

It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing, eating, renewing, I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant you knew there’d always be more.

But then my mother died, and on that clear summer’s night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn’t any more. Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away …never to return. So ..While we have it …its best we love it … And care for it …. And fix it when it’s broken … And heal it when it’s sick.

This is true …For marriage … And old cars … And children with bad report cards … Dogs and cats with bad hips … And aging parents … And grandparents, aunts and uncles and friends. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.

Some things we keep. Like a best friend who moved away or a classmate we grew up with. There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special … And so, we keep them close in heart and mind and spirit.

I received this from someone who thinks I am a ‘keeper’, so I’ve sent it to the people I think of in the same way.

Now it’s your turn to send this to those people who are ‘keepers’ in your life. Send it back to the person that sent it to you if they too are a keeper.

Good friends are like stars … you don’t always see them, but you know they are always there.

I am often asked ‘How I know things’? and the simple answer to that is that I am “Intuitive’, so the answers are ‘given or just come to me’ in many instances. I do though use a simple process known as in some instances ‘Kinesiology’ or Muscle testing to ascertain and qualify the answers to the questions I ask, and I have just loaded a page which talks about Kinesiology or ‘Muscle testing’  onto the site.

I have been familiar with muscle testing as I refer to it for many years, and have used it a great deal in my life. My formal training in working with this field was at the instigation of Cameron Dawson [The Dawson Program] with whom I trained and worked in the early 2000′s who’s recommendation was that I go and do a ‘course’ and that then we would ‘unlearn it’ for me to do things ‘his way’.

[Applied kinesiology which  originated with the work of Dr. George Goodheart, an American  chiropractor, in the nineteen sixties, was based on earlier work which had been pioneeredby others. Many offshoots of this technique, referred to as “specialized kinesiologies,” have also been developed. Perhaps the best known is a program called Touch for Health (TFH), which was created by a colleague of Dr  Goodheart’s, Dr. John Thie, and has been taught worldwide. Muscle testing is a component of all these practices.

My very first Chiropractor in the late 1970′s a wonderful man called Dr Richard Cerutty, who trained in the US and was one of the first Chiropractors in Australia, taught me to muscle test ‘way back then’.

This ‘testing’ was refined by Cameron, and also by my ex husband Trevor Robinson, who used a different process of testing which was taught to him in the early 1980′s. I personally use all of the methods I have learnt at different times depending on the situation. Including ‘checking’ the answers that my ‘intuitive abilities’ have already given to me.!

So can you get a wrong answer? Yes of course you can! If you have a vested interest in an outcome, or are using your own energy as a conscious or subconscious influence, the body will respond accordingly. There can also be influences from others around you as well.

Having said all of that I still believe that Muscle testing is one of the most valuable tools that I can ever share with anyone.!

Muscle testing is often referred to as applied kinesiology, although the two are not the same.Working with Cameron and using  a ‘Specialised Kinesiology’, in this instance Vibrational Kinesiology, we used the vibrational qualities of sound, scents and crystals to effect a correction of the body, having determined the ‘path’ we needed to take by using ‘muscle testing’ to ask the questions.

Although I have evolved my own work dramatically from these earlier beginnings, I still use and teach ‘muscle testing’ to many of my clients, including small children, as I believe it is an invaluable tool and one that should be readily available to those who wish to learn it.

There are as with many areas of expertise the ‘died in the wool’ traditionalists, who only acknowledge and accept the ‘Original’ or the ‘recognised’ levels of a modality, as well as those brave souls who thumb there noses at the world and ‘create’ their own. There arent any prizes for guessing which group I belong to I am sorry.

I do have a Powerpoint presentation on ‘Surrogate muscle testing’ which I will learn how to load at some stage, It seems the HELP button doesnt work for me. So I will still need to ‘learn’ how to load pictures and other good things onto the site.

Now I have just tried to Upload the Powerpoint so we shall just have to see if it worked for me. It did, HOWEVER, not as I would have wished, so back to the drawing board and re-do it again. This time differently.

Sometimes things happen for a reason so I will look at this mishap from a different perspective. AND ‘thank you’ for the Trash Button for not quite as I want them issues.

Peace Love and Light

Recently I added a poem titled Grief and loss to the Poetry page. I wrote this particular poem some two years ago following a stressful situation which created an enormous amount of grief for me personally.

Lately I have been working with some interesting areas of Grief and Loss, not just the personal levels of which I have long been aware, however also of the intricate levels of Business Grief and Loss, and Business anxiety, and in the last few days a Grief and Loss of a physical structure/ building . A house in this instance which had ‘not wanted to be renovated’ and the ensuing energy issues which had resulted from these renovations.

This realization came from a visit to my Sister, and we were able to ‘pacify’ the house by ‘talking to it’ about how smart it looked with its new additions and renovations.

Many a house / home, does not ‘want to be sold’, and I will look at this in more detail as time goes on. Yes! Time, that where does it go commodity that we take so much for granted.

I will write about the levels of Grief and Loss as an article, and post it to the site as I feel that it is a subject well worth exploring further, I have touched on it in some of my work in the past, however not to the levels that I now have an understanding of.

I also have an article on Anxiety in the pipeline,  so look out for that one shortly. One of the ‘penalties’ if you will of having an ‘inquiring mind’ is that I constantly need to explore and to know new things, and like many a child, the ‘Why’ word comes up a lot for me, requiring that I ”discover’ the answer for myself.

Still, it makes for an interesting life.

Until later

Peace Love and Light

Sheila
