If it is to be, It is up to Me!

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

I was having a conversation with my husband Trevor this morning when he used the old adage of ‘If it is to be, It is up to me’. I haven’t heard that one in quite a while I must admit, and it set me to thinking, some thing quite honestly that isn’t hard to do. My mind has the capacity to take a word or a subject and ‘harry’ it like an dog with a bone.

So how often do we not do some thing because it goes into the ‘too hard basket’, or gets put to one side for ‘later’ or ‘another day’.? Is that laziness or disinterest, or even not enough time? I think not, I believe in many ways that it comes back to a simple four letter word which is FEAR.

If we take some information on Word History from Dictionary.com Unabridged, Based on the Random House Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2009.We find some interesting words which fit around fear, however it is the last sentence ‘Fear is first recorded in Middle English with the sense “emotion of fear” in a work composed around 1290′ that introduces Fear as an emotion.

‘Word History: Old English fǣr, the ancestor of our word fear, meant “calamity, disaster,” but not the emotion engendered by such an event. This is in line with the meaning of the prehistoric Common Germanic word *fēraz, “danger,” which is the source of words with similar senses in other Germanic languages, such as Old Saxon and Old High German fār, “ambush, danger,” and Old Icelandic fār, “treachery, damage.” Scholars have determined the form and meaning of Germanic *fēraz by working backward from the forms and the meanings of its descendants. The most important cause of the change of meaning in the word fear was probably the existence in Old English of the related verb fǣran, which meant “to terrify, take by surprise.” Fear is first recorded in Middle English with the sense “emotion of fear” in a work composed around 1290.’

So how does ‘Fear’ stop us from moving forward or achieving what we want/ need/ desire to do? I am sure most people have heard the description of Fear as ‘False Emotion Appearing Real’ and as a description that weighs in as a 3/10 or three out of ten for me, with 0 or zero being the lowest and 10 or ten being the optimal result, so not of a great value, yet many practitioners and the general public quote it all the time.

So what is Fear? I believe it is an emotional response to a known or unknown trigger or factor in our lives. It may be felt consciously, as in we are aware of it, or it may well be a subconscious memory from our ancestors which surfaces ‘basically uninvited’ and then has a ruling or possibly a detrimental effect on our lives.

So if we look at some types of fear, and there are many, they can be categorized into different brackets, eg personal fears, group fears, family of origin fears, learned responses, irrational fears, and so on.

I have a number that I openly own up to or admit, fear of heights, fear of water, my husband generally jokes about it not having soap in in in reference to my British heritage, fear of spiders, and fear of winding roads.

So how have I dealt with them over the years? Allowing that if it is to be it is up to me?

I have little by little worked with my fear of heights by climbing ladders, living in a two story house with stairs, looking out of high rise windows and so on, It doesnt mean that I like heights, just that I do not allow it to rule my life.

Water, well my early fears of water around aged  nine were a large swimming pool in Uganda where as a child with difficulties walking I was taken for some what would now be described as “Hydrotherapy’ exercises on a daily basis, and I would walk or hobble around that pristine pool with the sun shining on it and I would be convinced that there was ‘something’ in the water that I couldnt see, and point blank refuse to get into it. Much bribery from my Mother resulted in my learning the very basics of swimming over the years and yet even now I cannot put my face in the water.

I have improved from being breathless and with a pain in my chest from one lap across [not down the length of a pool] some twenty years ago to being able to do the equivalent of ten laps across the pool just recently.

That included with the exception of one disastrous attempt some eight years ago of  some one attempting to teach me to snorkel at Bondi in Sydney which got as far as the mask clinging to my face. NO pool use at all for twenty years by the way, other than some brief hydrotherapy sessions, until my husband convinced me to go into the sea at Kurnell in Sydney last year. Since moving to Queensland and having a pool off the decking I have ‘played’ in the water rather than tried to swim, and for the first time in my life managed to float. Do I like it? Lets say I tolerate it, and use it as a way to cool down, a swimmer I doubt that I will ever be.

My fear of spiders is an ancient memory, locked deep within my cells, and much work has ensued to release those fears, I can now be in the same vicinity as a large spider without having a ‘melt down’ however it or I will need to leave the area ‘post haste’.

My fear of winding roads I needed to conquer some years ago when driving to spend Christmas with a dear friend who lives at Buxton in the Black Ranges of Victoria, just a few short kilometers from where the disastrous bush fires that have destroyed Marysville and much of the surrounding areas in the last few weeks.

Having driven up the highway to Healsville, I gaily kept driving through the Mystic Mountains until the road became narrower, more and more windy, the trees taller and the sheer drops steeper, and my breathing harsh and rasping as I fought my fear. There seriously is NO WHERE to turn around on that narrow two lane road, and if there had of been I would have been long gone back the way I came.

Arriving at Margaret’s I assured her it was only my love for her which had kept me going that twenty or so kilometers of the road from hell as I saw it. Since then I have driven the same road many times, always with a healthy respect for its turns and drops, and amazed at the speeding traffic, motor bikes which zip in and out around the cars, and especially at the fact that there are not more accidents on that stretch of road. Do I like that road NO, however I have conquered enough of my fear to allow me to travel it as it is the shorter route to visit my friend.

Having worked with Hypnosis for years I am well aware of the levels that fears can exist on, and I have in some early instances used self hypnosis techniques on myself, however the main results appear to have come from my own determination of ‘If it is going to be it is up to Me’. It has been MY decision that some thing needed to be done or need to change that has allowed me to move forward. Otherwise I would still be sitting in the same fears, on a deeper level of course.

So whether you choose to work on your own fears, seek the help of a qualified practitioner, or stay stuck in them is purely and simply up to you.

Remember that today is the first day of the rest of your life, and it only takes one step or one decision to move forwards.

Truly the ‘If it is to be, It is up to Me’ holds true in this instance.

The Unseen Factors which may Control our Lives 2

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

To those people who have read the first part of this blog I commend you on your thirst for knowledge and understanding, for those who have not read the previous blog may I suggest that you do so before reading this one as the foundation or basis of that which I will talk about is contained within it.

Now I said yesterday that I would explain how I  remove the things which may be holding you back, it is also important to understand how they may affect you and how to identify with them.

As a holistic practitioner and an avid researcher, much of my time is spent ‘brainstorming’ for want of a better word with my esteemed colleague Susan Ormsby. As I have said on many occasions previously Susan is the best sounding board I know, and together we achieve an amazing amount of work.

Much of our work is with cellular memory, and removing those unwanted or not needed memories which we may be carrying around with us, often unknown by or unnoticed by ourselves. It is to this purpose that the Sounds from Source programs have been developed to release cellular memory by using specific sounds and intention, in a simple yet powerful format.

So in working with the Unseen Factors which may Control our Lives, we as practitioners ask many questions and ‘look’ on many levels and by using Kinesiology or ‘muscle testing’  and either in person or by ‘surrogate testing’ we are able to ascertain the answers.

There are in excess of sixty [60] individual vows, from  vows as simple as those of ‘Poverty, Chastity, Humility and Obedience’, [ancient vows to the church] to vows  to ‘Tread the Eternal Wheel of Life for Breaking Vows’.

Using kinesiology we ascertain which vows if any are connected to you, by number and them identify them for you, often these make perfect sense as to the way you or your life may have been,

Contracts and Agreements covers twenty [20] different types of Contracts and Agreements from Personal through to Karmic and beyond, again they are  identified by number and explained to you.

Then we look at the States of Being that you may have been in when these Vows and Contracts were accepted, allowed, or put into place. Currently we have identified thirty nine [39] however as researchers we do not rest on our laurels so to speak, we keep researching, and there may well be more. Again these are explained to you.

States of Being can be from the basic ‘Conscious’ to the deeper levels of ‘Sabotaged or Infiltrated’.

Then Enforceable Obligations, there are currently thirty [30] of these known from ‘Agreement’ to ‘Imposed’ for example.

As each area is discussed and the issues identified, specific vibrational sounds are played to release these old habits and patterns from your cellular memory and allow you to move forward with out the hindrance of these unknown or long forgotten programs.

Some of these specific vibrational sounds are twelve [12] to twenty [20] minutes long of unobtrusive bells which play gently in the background, and  whether your consultation is in person, or over the telephone or internet makes very little difference in most instances as the gentle sounds of Tibetan bells carry the instructions deep into your cellular memory.

The CD programs Releasing Ancient and Modern Vows, Releasing Ancient and Modern Contracts, and Enforceable  Obligations, may well be joined by other powerful sounds if  I or another of my trained  Energetic Balance and Harmony practitioners deems them necessary for you.

For example, often in a session such as this we may begin with ascertaining your  levels of positive and negative encodings, or the set of instructions that you were programmed with before you were born, again we check the numbers and there are fourty four [44] positives and ten [10] negatives which are possible for you to have encoded into YOUR blueprint for life.

All of this is pain free, there are not any medications or drugs to take, neither are there any tests or exams, and changes are often felt immediately, and return visits or appointments are not a requirement..

If you havent already experienced the positive benefits of Vibrational Sound throught the Sounds from Source programs, I suggest you log in to www.soundsfromsourceacademy.com and take advantage of the complementary e classes and downloadable sounds on offer there.

Until next time

The Unseen Factors Which May Control Our Lives

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Today as I was thinking about writing to my blog I wanted to share some thing profound rather than just have a general dump of my thoughts, and so I would like to share with you a subject close to my heart.

The Unseen Factors Which May Control Our Lives

A strange heading for a topic you might feel, for are YOU not in control of YOUR life? Do YOU not make the decisions that shape your life? What is this woman talking about?

In many aspects unbeknown to you, YOUR life is shaped by influences far beyond your control; these are situations that you may not even be aware of, never mind have any way of dealing with.

So what are these factors which are so important, and play such a big part in YOUR life

I refer to them as Contracts, Vows, and Enforceable Obligations.

I will talk about them individually, and then look at how they can combine to have a controlling factor in our lives.

We are I am sure all aware of Contracts, they are the agreements we make in either written or verbal forms to do with or to accept a certain set of circumstances or an agreement between two or more parties for the doing or not doing of something specified.

They can also be an agreement enforceable by law, the written form of such an agreement, or an agreement between two or more parties for the doing or not doing of something specified.

Vows are some what different again, they are a solemn promise, pledge, or personal commitment for example marriage vows; a vow of secrecy, a solemn or earnest declaration.

To make a vow of some thing they vowed revenge. To declare solemnly or earnestly; or to assert emphatically. ‘ She vowed that she would take the matter to court’.

Enforceable Obligations are to me are the most interesting, and I will look at them in some detail, they include, using the dictionaries examples: to put or keep in force; compel obedience to: to enforce a rule; eg Traffic laws will be strictly enforced.

It can be to obtain (payment, obedience, etc.) by force or compulsion, to impose (a course of action) upon a person: The doctor enforced a strict dietary regimen

To support (a demand, claim, etc.) by force: to enforce one’s rights as a citizen.

To impress or urge (an argument, contention, etc.) forcibly; lay stress upon: He enforced his argument by adding details

These can be something by which a person is bound or obliged to do certain things, and which arises out of a sense of duty or results from custom, law, etc. something that is done or is to be done for such reasons: to fulfill one’s obligations, eg a binding promise, contract, sense of duty, and can be an indebtedness or amount of indebtedness, a favour, service, or benefit for which gratitude is due, a debt of gratitude: eg ‘He felt an obligation to his teacher’

Now if we step away from the examples of the dictionaries, and look at the daily things which happen in our lives, we set up enforceable obligations in our lives in many instances without ever being aware of them.

Take for instance the small blonde haired blue eyed moppet who adoringly looks up at ‘Uncle Johnny’ and sincerely ‘promises’ to marry him when she grows up. Many years down the track and with a number of ‘failed’ relationships behind her, and she still doesn’t know why she cant support a relationship with a man. The long ago ‘promise or enforceable obligation is locked deep within the psyche and the cellular memory of the body, and may bring up old memories of a long forgotten ‘promise’.

The two ‘best friends’ on primary school who are never going to be parted, and the lonely man or woman who has difficulty with friendships and relationships with other people is still connected in to that original promise.

How many times do we tie ourselves to an area because we made a promise to stay close to family, elderly parents, work situations and the like.

A large part of my working life is dedicated to removing and releasing these old contracts, vows and enforceable obligations, easily and effortlessly, allowing people to move forward with their life. How, well that’s a subject for another day, perhaps tomorrow,

Until then

Wishing you

Peace Love and Light

When is a Psychic Not a Psychic??

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Tonight I did a teleconference on the Sounds from Source Academy site www.soundsfromsourceacademy.com to explain how to get the best from a Psychic reading. I started the teleconference with pondering the question of “When is a Psychic NOT a Psychic”?

Why, ? Because their is a lot of confusion around about what a psychic is or is not. Many readers are not psychic:, eg
Clairvoyant = Clear seeing, can go into a mild trance state in many instances and may see or be aware of energies around the person being read for.

Clairaudient = Clear Hearing, voices, sounds, or in my instance words not voices in my head.

Clairsentient=Clear Knowing,also called 6th sense. A Clairsentient is an individual who perceives (as in a “sixth-sense”) by feeling or having knowledge about an object.

A good example of this extreme psychic ability is that a clairsentient is able to visualize an item without seeing an image of the specific item.. A clairsentient can read “auras” of people and objects to discover their personal histories.

As a psychic I have all 3 of the above and also what I call gut feeling, and to me being Psychic is a combination of “gifts” rather than just one. Fften some one will advertise as a psychic and may be something else, eg Clairvoyant.

Readers may use Psychometry which is a form of extra sensory perception or ESP in which a Psychic  or a sensitive person is said to be able to obtain information about an individual through what can be termed ‘paranormal means’ by making physical contact with an object that belongs to them or to some one else.

For example, a person who has psychometric abilities – also known as a psychometrist – can hold a piece of jewelry and be able to tell something about the history of that jewelry, about the person who owned it, or about the experiences that person had while in the possession of that piece .

The psychic may be able to sense what the person was like, what they did and even how they died. Perhaps most important, the psychic can sense how the person felt – the emotions of the person at a particular time. Emotions especially, it seems, are most strongly “recorded” in the object.

The psychic may not be able to do this with all objects at all times and, as with all psychic abilities, accuracy can vary, but the ability to do so  is available to the psychic.

An example of this was a bracelet belonging to a fellow student on a course many years ago, and as Alicia’s bracelet was handed around, along with other the jewelry of other people who were also on the course there were mixed reactions to it. Further investigation came up with the pretty object having been ‘programmed with negativity or cursed’, and went a great deal of the way towards explaining why this attractive young lady had been experiencing ‘odd’ situations in her life since the departure of a ‘boyfriend some time earlier.

Many ‘readers’ use tools eg Tarot cards, Runes, Angel Cards, and the like. These are often to clarify the situation for you, or to guide the reader in the right direction, as you choose the cards which resonate with you..

The only tool I have ever used is a crystal ball, and seriously, I see just as well without it with my eyes closed. I gave up working as a practicing psychic some time ago as I prefer to work with healing and the majority of people who came for readings over the years wanted  to know if they are going to “marry tall dark and handsome, win tattslotto and have 3 kids stuff” so not particularly enthralling as far as I was concerned.

So if you are going to go for a “reading”,  psychic or otherwise then I suggest that you “check out” the credentials of the person you are going to before you spend your money on some thing that may not be what you thought you were going to get.

Is the Psychic really a Psychic??

The Circle of Excellence

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

Today I spoke to a young man who has been a client of mine for some years, and he asked me about a simple technique that I had spoken to him about some time ago, so as I had promised to write it out for him, I decided it would be a good idea to share it with other people as well.

Despite its simplicity it works very well, and is called:

The Circle of Excellence

The Circle of Excellence is something I was taught a very long time ago, and a simple yet powerful tool that I have shared with many people over the years.

It is simply a way of locking in a good memory, one in which you felt or allowed your self t feel great, fantastic, happy, confident etc and being able to recreate that feeling at will.

Instructions

Just by your self

Standing up, close your eyes,

Remember an occasion where you felt really really good / happy.

This could be your graduation, your wedding, promotion at work, birth of a child, anything that you remember as being a happy time

Make that memory as real as you can, remember where you were, how you felt, were there any special smells or fragrances around you, and so on.

Then still with your eyes closed imagine that there is a circle drawn on the floor in front of you, keep the happy memory in your mind and as you take one [1] step both feet, one after the other into the circle press your thumb and first finger together strongly to lock in that memory.

When you are ready open your eyes.

Instructions with an assistant or a partner

This time your assistant or partner is going to work with you to lock the positive memory in to your body

Discuss this process with your assistant / partner before beginning

Standing up with your assistant or partner standing beside you, preferably on the left hand side and with their hand resting lightly on your shoulder.

When you are ready to step forward into the circle of excellence your partner or assistant will step forward with you, and as you both do so they will increase the pressure on your shoulder to be a firm press down.

Close your eyes,

Remember an occasion where you felt really really good / happy.

This could be your graduation, your wedding, promotion at work, birth of a child, anything that you remember as being a happy time

Make that memory as real as you can, remember where you were, how you felt, were there any special smells or fragrances around you, and so on.

Then still with your eyes closed imagine that there is a circle drawn on the floor in front of you, keep the happy memory in your mind

Indicate to your partner / assistant by a nod or a prearranged signal and step forward together

As you take the one [1] step, both feet, one after the other into the circle press your thumb and first finger together strongly to lock in that memory. At the same time your partner will be locking in the memory for you also by pressing on your left shoulder.

When you want/ desire to feel that positive happiness again in the future, close your eyes and press your thumb and finger together again to activate that memory.

NOTE

You can lock in different situations by using a different finger with your thumb if you wish so that you have a range of options, eg happiness, strength, confidence and so on.

Peace Love and Light
