This is the only salt on the market that actually enhances our bodies’ minerals. I simply drop 250 grams into my bath as it is filling up, light a few candles and thoroughly enjoy.  And in case you haven’t tried this, what you will also discover as an added benefit is a delightful night of blissful sleep.

What a treat!

As part of a reading or healing session, I include a pack of pink crystal salt. For me, it somehow completes the session and given that people are changing their energy fields, I feel it’s a nice way to say how much you appreciate yourself!

Blocked energy systems, ill health and chronic states of disablement leading to lives that are far too hum-drum are the reason why we need to understand our very own self inflated Fat Controller (By the way, the Fat Controller as I refer to him was inspired from Thomas the Tank Engine Books)

Each time we have a thought or whenever we take action, someone somewhere is prompting us. The question is where is the captain of our ship and what is the motivating factor or driving force behind the captain’s decisions.

Primarily and fundamentally we are looking for the captain to be operating from our soul. And when we are operating from our soul, it is obvious. Somehow things just have a wonderful knack of either dropping into place or falling in our laps. Life is easy and oh so sweet. We are in the flow and we recognise it. Our hearts feel so expansive, warm and generous of nature. Trust is a word that is easily understood.

But if ego is running the show, well the road may get very bumpy. However, we mustn’t give ego a bad name because after all we need it. Ego is our protector and its motive comes from keeping us alive, safe and making sure we survive.

So why the bad wrap?

Well when ego has got out of shape, it tends to manipulate things, situations, energies, people for its’ own good. It’s quite understandable really. If you find yourself in a situation that feels incredibly threatening and have had a very upsetting & painful experience, then you will do everything within your power to prevent it from happening again! You’ll employ a whole host and manner of tools and identities to prevent such an unpleasant experience occurring. That’s where all those archetypes come in. You will use anything from avoidance to stating a preference (judgement) to ensure you don’t have to go through that darn thing again. That may be ok if you’re honest about it but sometimes the ego finds a way to get what it wants rather too successfully. In which case, we start to see a controlling personality emerging. Perhaps this controlling personality turns into a bit of a bully. And maybe that bully turns into a bit of an abuser if the stakes get high.

Maybe the judge makes an appearance and interjects with right & wrong thus dumping a barrel load of guilt & punishment. Now there’s another way to ensure the ego gets what it wants. The guilty party will feel so lousy that their sense of self worth will be flattened. Now how neat is that? Clever hey?

Then we have the master manipulator of words (the flatterer) who skillfully weaves his silky tongue to ensure that he gets what he wants. There are many disguises that the ego uses but the problems arise when those disguises take over and a personality and identity is formed on the basis of defence and protection. But that’s not your true nature. Your true nature is loving and purity of heart whereas the other stuff is what I refer to as “tarnish and varnish.” This isn’t about being a goody two shoes, it’s about accepting the black & the white, recognising our defences and bringing the whole lot into balance and having some fun as we ride the waves of life.

The interesting thing is we all know when something is genuine and heartfelt. And we also know when our radar is clocking something that feels completely out of sync, incongruent and something of a slippery eel.

Take a look at the model diagram and see where your “Fat Controller” is lurking. Mine hides behind fear and judging how I express myself…. this shows up with me filtering what I say sometimes (but I’m getting better at this since I recognised what I was doing). It’s linked into being a bit of a people pleaser and is motivated by the need for affection. Where’s your “Fat Controller” coming from?

There are two major events which I would love to share with you and hope that they bring comfort to those who are experiencing ‘loss, grief and death’ of a loved one and equally offer some insight.

The first involved a friend, who was deeply upset about her Mother who had undergone cancer surgery and was now lying in hospital with a debilitating infection that had caught hold. Lynne was unsure whether her Mum was going to pull through and knowing me she asked if I might take a look at the situation. It was not an easy one, I felt, because I was concerned about what I might discover and how on earth would I be able to pass on such delicate information. As it happened I couldn’t have been further from the truth.

I drifted out of my body and asked if would be OK for me to take a look at what was happening as I didn’t wish to intrude in anyone’s space. I saw her Mum lying in bed and next to her was this massive vertical light being. The being was like a virtual white light but what brought tears to my cheeks was the sheer emotion that was pouring out. Never, in my life, had I felt this incredible love, tenderness, devotion and compassion. At first I couldn’t speak because of what I was experiencing which left poor Lynne wondering what on Earth was happening. As the tears fell (with both of us) and my hand resting on my heart, I relayed what I was being told.

Her Mum actually didn’t have to leave and she was being given a choice. It was going to be an opportunity for her to make some changes in her life and participate in some activities, which up until now she had never had time to do so. However, without any shadow of doubt, she was being given this choice whether to stay or leave and this magnificent being was both in conversation and waiting for her decision. The extraordinary amount of patience and tenderness emanating was, as I have said, like nothing that I have ever experienced.

My presence was acknowledged with equal love and affection but by comparison I felt oh so small and humble. Lynne’s Mum did pull through and I am happy to report that she is doing very well and has had a wonderful new lease of life exploring and creating her garden.

The second event was amazing! I was with a girlfriend sitting in her garden when I found myself drifting off to a hospice in Cornwall. We had been chatting about a mutual friend whose Mum in this case was dying and she hadn’t got long to go before departing. As I viewed the hospice, next to each bed were these vertical white beings again along with various friends and family members, nurses etc. I understood that these beings were there not only to help with the departing souls but also to escort them as the soul energy left their respective bodies. Again the energy emanating was beyond words and tears welled up in my eyes.

But what I found quite astonishing were these other set of even bigger beings that surrounded the building itself. It became evident that these energy beings were doing a very different job indeed and in some ways were not related to the ones inside. They, I discovered, were actually protecting and safe guarding the hospice. At the time, I was curious to appreciate why they were there at all and then the answer came. Naturally, all the light beings inside the hospice would attract other energies and earthbound spirits that are roaming around in the ether. They would simply act as a light house, which is understandable but it was not their role to get involved with earthbound spirits. Those light beings inside the hospice were directly dealing with the departing soul.

Now what can happen when someone dies is their loved ones left behind can and do drift somewhat outside their own physical bodies. Many people understandably are stricken with grief and loss so it’s quite common and a natural occurrence. But here’s the kicker. If the building was not protected an earthbound spirit, who has been roaming around has the opportunity to attach itself or become a ‘walk in’ and inhabit the physical body of the grieving relative or friend who has gone somewhat absent during this time of great loss.

It was an astonishing piece of information but one that makes complete sense if you have ever had to deal with earthbound spirits. I think too, which was equally remarkable, was the opportunity to glimpse at the presence of these amazing light beings during death, as we interpret it, on the physical plane.

This encompasses another spectrum of my work and may appear at anytime. Sometimes spirits feature in my building alignment work causing disruption and at other times they present themselves with a client when he or she comes for a healing. It is helpful to have some understanding though, so I have put together some frequently asked questions to provide you with clarification.

Understanding our ghostly friends and frequently asked questions

Why are there ghosts or EBS?

Earthbound spirits (commonly referred to as ghosts, although earthbound spirits is the correct term) roam around the astral planes because they are stuck and/or are somewhat lost. Upon death, they didn’t follow the normal channels towards the light.

Why don’t they just leave?

Unfortunately for them, once they decide not to go to the light their personal guides and individual gate-keepers have to detach. This means their only way back to the light is via the help of a person on this earthly plane who is able to assist and act as a bridge.

Can you send them on their merry way?

Earthbound Spirits (EBS) know exactly who can be of assistance should they wish to return to the light and their loved ones. They recognise such people by their resonance or frequency, which is seen in terms of actual light. It’s a bit like a ship at sea amidst dense fog seeing a lighthouse.

Why do EBS choose to stay on the astral plane and roam around?

There are a whole host of reasons why this occurs. Firstly, they may be in some sort of shock and became confused. This was very evident to me when I cleared souls who had died during World War 2 in submarines @ Bergen in Norway. In this particular case, some were full of fear and panic due to the nature of their death (drowning in not only water but also very enclosed chambers). I also believe that some desperately wanted to contact their loved ones and families and visit their homes before departing to the light. This caused problems and contributed to these spirits getting stuck.

Some spirits are angry at the curtailment of their lives especially if they have been involved in accidents. They may feel short changed and hence choose not to go to the light. Again they are often in shock and are feeling confused and experiencing some anger.

Some are frightened to go to the light because they judge their own actions and feel shame. Perhaps they have been a murderer or abusive. Somehow they have forgotten their original spiritual contract.

Others don’t want to leave their loved ones behind. And within this category lies all kinds of mixed emotions. Equally, some spirits want revenge for being rebuffed or rejected and have no intention of letting someone else move in on their territory with their old Mrs or roving ex husband, so to speak.

As you can see, we are starting to build up intricate and colourful reasons as to why a spirit might not choose to go to the light.

Can everyone go the light regardless of what has happened on the earthly plane?

Absolutely! No one is exempt. You don’t have to have religious beliefs or preferences and nor are you judged.

Do all ghosts or EBS recognise they are not in a body?

No. Some take a wee bit of an adjustment period, but it’s not long before they realize they can’t do some of the things that we are able to do in human form. And equally they are able to do certain things that we as humans are unable to do (drift through matter for example – brick walls). But remember when the incarnate beings passed over (i.e. died and left their physical bodies) they had the choice to engage with their loved ones in spirit and pass over to the light with the help of their gatekeeper and other light beings.

Once they realize they are trapped and after some refection, do these EBS and ghosts want to make their way to the light?

Some do and some don’t!

There are 3 categories here. Firstly, those who desperately want to make their way to the light and hence seek out people like me. The 2^nd category involves those who are uncertain, possibly toying with the idea but are lacking in trust. And within the 3^rd category are those who have no intention of going to the light. (Some of these are certainly disruptive whilst others may be less intrusive.)

It was a remarkable trip but what became clear was that I had been here before. Although I went to a wee little Church of England primary school, I actually have had minimum contact with the church & cloth this time around.  So what became fascinating was this incredible emotional connection that I experienced. It started almost immediately viewing the Dead Sea Scrolls and linking into the Essenes followed by the site at Mt Nebo where Moses had looked longingly across the Great Rift Valley to Jerusalem. The stillness at Bethany in the early morning light with gunmen on either side of the border was equally moving and then came the Dead Sea. At times, tears just fell. I couldn’t explain them other than they were genuinely felt on such a profound level and when it was time to fly home, my legs simply went from underneath me.

What I wanted to share with you though were some snaps which I took down by the Treasury in Petra. These were some of my first “Orbs” that I captured on camera. We had walked the three miles through the siq canyon (Indiana Jones went on horseback I noted) for our evening spectacular and I had noted how intense the energies were. It was still pretty warm following the day’s heat so one might easily think that the intensity was due to the temperature and the warm air emanating from the rock faces. However down at the Treasury, the energies just seemed to multiply. Anyway cutting a long story short these are just a few snaps from that night and another interesting day, where I managed to pick up some blue orbs in daylight.

With the digital cameras these days, it is becoming easier to capture orbs in photographs and when you see them for the first time, it can’t help but tickle your curiosity. What are these little balls of spinning light that move around? And where do they come from? There is a delightful DVD called “Orbs The Veil is Lifting”, which invites you to draw your own conclusions as you explore the orb phenomenon with this group of scientists, spiritual teachers and experts. As the veil between dimensions is thinning with our increase in consciousness, we are allowed to view what has been there all the time. Orbs offer us the opportunity to ask questions about what we see and what actually exists in the so called “unseen.” I guess what this wonderful little documentary provides is confirmation that there is more to our world than meets the eye.

I can’t help but wonder in life, is it not the questions that are more important  rather than the answers?

For the last 12 months the platinum energies have been brewing and now as we have completed January we are beginning to see the full force of these beautiful, exquisite and very fast frequencies enter humanity and the planet.

So what might we expect?

Well first, we are going to see combination rays of platinum + a specific colour ray, such as a unique strand of pink or say a pistachio green as opposed to what we might normally see. It’s not that the standard colours which we are accustomed and exposed to have become obsolete or anything like that but rather we are now witnessing a stage where more amplified & focused energies are apparent.

Because the speed of these frequencies is faster, the result is going to target those trouble spots with a laser like precision.  Those areas in our lives, which we have put on the back burner and nonchalantly tossed aside to be dealt with at some later stage, are going to come up and make themselves acutely known & demand a voice!

You may think on the whole things are going along fine and dandy, which is terrific but as I say any little encumbrances that have been neatly brushed into one corner and labelled as nothing or trivial are going to be rotor-rooted out. Such is the precise nature of the platinum energies.

However, this said, the fantastic thing about these energies are the swiftness and accuracy that they deliver. So what might have taken us a long time to shift in the past is now going to be accelerated through with ease & grace. The only difficulty of course will be that of resistance.

If you are holding on or fighting the tides of change, then ask yourself what is it exactly that is causing you fear? What childhood belief are you continuing to replicate? What emotion is exposing itself? Are you carrying a sense of injustice and just can’t seem to move forward? You know the answer, so ask yourself the questions. It’s also about getting rid of duty big time!

The purpose of the platinum ray is to help us get back to our authenticity, the real you and your true nature. It’s about reclaiming your intrinsic value, which is generated when you are being and doing what you love most. It’s not rocket science to appreciate how expansive you become when you love what you are doing. It doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks, you owe it to your-self to do what you love most.  And although we may look to others because we might lack inner confidence and need or require some validation, I strongly urge you to choose wisely.

This really is an exquisite and extraordinary time, so please don’t delay or wait until a catastrophe unfolds. And if you need any help, take a good look at what you are currently attracting in your life. We are bio magnets so put on your Sherlock Holmes hat, observe the clues and make the necessary changes and adjustments.

All the great intentions in the World will not override a deep rooted negative programme that has been running since childhood. And I am going to explain very simply why this is so.

In a nutshell, you are born into a body with a genetic blueprint. But this blueprint has no control whatsoever. You can read it, take note of it, switch it on or off but it has no control until your mind intervenes and influences the expression of your blueprint. Your mind can produce tens of thousands of permutations solely linked to your genetic blueprint if it so chooses, but the genetic blueprint doesn’t do anything on its’ own.

The second major point is you have a conscious mind and a subconscious mind. When you set up a positive intention or thought, it is coming from your conscious mind, but this isn’t exactly a very powerful place. Most people are trying to manifest something because they haven’t got it. In other words they lack that something whether it’s good health, a car, a new relationship or a different job etc.

And the reason they haven’t got it in the first place is because underlying all this wonderful intention is a negative programme running in the power house of the subconscious mind that dictates they can’t have it or don’t deserve it etc.

In the subconscious mind, you have downloaded all these programmes from age 0 -7yrs, which weren’t even yours to begin with.  These programmes are not supporting who we are nor are they supporting what we would like. Along with this, you have also made powerful emotional associations connected to these programmes. The subconscious mind is like a CD that has been recorded and it merrily plays away the same old music. You can’t chit chat with it, well you can, but it’s going to take more than that to record over the existing music on the CD.

And that is exactly what has to take place when you wish to manifest or create something different in your life. You have to record a new programme but it’s not always that easy because most of the time you don’t even know what is running.

Someone says to me “I would love to have a partner in my life.” Well if you haven’t got him or her in your life that is because in your subconscious mind you are running a program that prohibits having a partner in your life.

If you want to move house and live in the city and for some reason you cannot seem to make it all happen, this is because in your subconscious mind you have a programme running that simply doesn’t want to do this.

It is all very simple indeed. Whatever equation you are projecting out into the World, you will get. I know, you will argue with me that you do want a boyfriend and I will say “I know, I hear you, but the programmes you have got running are projecting the opposite.”

And now the work starts to erase and eliminate those old, worn out, dog-gone programmes that are ruling & directing your life from the subconscious mind. You cannot argue with the ‘Law of Attraction,’ but to suggest simple application of positive thoughts and intention will get you what you want is both naive and short sighted. Helpful yes, but it’s not the whole story. I guess that’s why I get a little ticked off with DVDs like “The Secret.”

So in a nutshell, if you have put out positive thoughts, intentions and affirmations and you are not getting what you want then you know your subconscious mind is running the show with a negative programme. Do not fall into the trap of victim consciousness and focus on outside forces. Any programme can be erased but you just have to locate it on the CD!

Well actually I did both but that led me to the question of when to bring in some outside assistance and ask for help. This is an important question. Think about it. Why on Earth do we bash on indiscriminately when we know we are out of kilter? I mean we, of all people, know exactly when something is adrift within us and it is only us that know when things are really wrong.

Sometimes we visit a doctor and at others we seek out friends to talk through difficult circumstances, troubled relationships or fears etc. But whatever is it within us that makes us or prompts us to bash on through thick and thin struggling? What is this all about?

I ask this not knowing the answer but am instantly reminded of when I was a child struggling desperately as a 7 year old. It was an awful time for me and there didn’t seem to be any help. I don’t remember if I asked. I know that I was very frightened and my body & field had gone into energetic shock! I was completely overwhelmed, numb and incapable of doing anything. Did I ask for help or was I just too frightened? Perhaps it doesn’t matter.

My Mum had been at home with 2 very young children and doing everything very much on her own. She had struggled but now looking back as an adult I tend to think that although my Mum is this lovely giving person, she is very much a staunch martyr.

Perhaps, not asking for help is linked to observations we make as children and subsequent beliefs we each set up. My Mum never had any help to speak of and I am beginning to see how I developed some rather disturbing beliefs like …. there is no help from the outside and if I ask for help (especially from my Mum since she was overwhelmed with coping) I will feel guilty for adding more to her already busy workload. Perhaps, someone didn’t have time to help me or I was told emphatically that it was my problem and that I had better sort it out myself.

It doesn’t really matter what the reasons were for not getting some assistance but what is truly important here is the insidious programme of martyrdom that was set up.

• We all need help at some time or another
• It isn’t weak to ask for help or assistance when you’ve got a problem or crisis
• It’s actually taking responsibility for yourself to ask for help when you are stuck.
• It’s also about your self-worth. Why put yourself through angst, hardship, and/or suffering when someone can shed some light on a situation, offer relief from exhaustion or help alleviate the problem.
• Even if the person you ask is unable to help maybe they know of someone who is perfect and can direct you
• Why suffer in silence?
• If you don’t ask for help when needed then you are no doubt under the Martyr spell. It’s nothing to be concerned about other than to recognise that a deep rooted belief has been set up in childhood.

This is a massive healing journey in itself dealing with not only martyr programmes but also huge issues associated with low self-worth and inner value. However, dealt with once and for all, it frees up your vital energy flow within all of the chakras.

So I ask again “why suffer unnecessarily?” What is the point in that?

If we look at the difficulties and problems that arise in life, we all come across: health issues; relationship struggles; horrendous self-limiting beliefs (leading to our own self torture); issues involving loss and grief; fears which leave us paralysed and stuck even just in everyday life and emotions running riot due to associations with highly charged events and traumas. Each of these require us to be vigilant with our choices but there are times when we all need to honour and serve ourselves by asking for help.

Understandably, people are looking for a cure and a quick fix straight away and although this can happen and is certainly possible, there is a jolly good reason why it does not. This is because you have to understand the purpose of any illness, disease or debilitating condition.

I know when I was sick and spent years in bed, all I wanted to do was get better as quickly as possible and get back to the things that I loved to do. But this wasn’t the purpose of my illness. I had to stop fighting for a start and then surrender but boy that wasn’t easy. I kept on thinking the illness was something alien to me and that it didn’t belong – and it took a very long time for me to come to terms with the fact that, on some level, I had created this. I was so resistant to this concept and that just made things worse. Only when I started to learn “acceptance”, did things gently start to improve.

So we have to consider why have we created this illness or lethargy or virus etc and discover what its purpose is for us? Naturally, there are a whole host of possible explanations but the following are a few for your consideration.

• I have chosen this illness as a vehicle to leave my physical body. I am going to use this state of being as a platform for my physical departure and transition.

In this case, my role as a healing facilitator is to help this person stay on track and come to terms with what is occurring. My intentions are to ease discomfort (by easing resistance and therefore pain), help release fears associated with physical death and help them to connect with light energies beyond the physical realms.

• I cannot help with a cure when the spirit & soul of an individual has no intention of remaining in physical form.

• If a change of lifestyle is the motivating factor behind an illness or disease then we are invariably looking at a process. This may take a wee bit of time depending on the resistance to change. The obvious reason why a time frame is involved is simply if you got better quickly, you probably would step right back onto the hamster wheel and start peddling like crazy. And guess what, nothing would change!

• Ill health can also be about stopping and taking a break, escapism, avoidance, attention, punishment, boredom etc. In fact, it can be created and used for just about anything.

• Sometimes people come for a healing because they need an MOT or they simply want to relax, experience the wonderful energies and access places, which ordinarily they could not reach by themselves.

• Other times people come when their batteries are low, they are feeling drained and are generally out of sorts yet nothing obvious has appeared to have happened. My first port of call here is looking at cords, attachments and energy that simply doesn’t belong yet is having a draining effect.

Struggling with weight issues, for example, and lifestyle challenges also bring people to my doorstep. In these scenarios, together we look back to find the blocks. Usually there is trauma inside the body along with deep emotional pain & fear. Is it any wonder that we use some form of addiction in an effort to escape that?

So my job as a healing facilitator is to guide you through a myriad of pathways and provide you with as much information and tools to equip you on your journey.

The key is to first find out the intention of the malady and then help you come to terms with whatever you are experiencing. Invariably, there is huge emotional content within any physical disturbances and entangled belief systems. So it’s all a question of self discovery and understanding.

Another key element is dis-identifying with the illness or disease. I love this term! If the negative ego gets a hold, it will start imposing insidious thoughts that say “you are the illness,” when this is simply not true. You are experiencing a state of being but you are not the illness or broken leg or whatever! When and if you can truly grasp this one, it will prevent you from spiralling down into the depths of despair should the going gets tough!

Before you come for a healing, I work intuitively using clairvoyant skills to observe your field and I usually make some brief sketches. I also connect with my team of guides and yours for information re emotional content, thought patterns and any structures that need addressing. Alongside this, I work with the Akashic Records to clear any programmes that are currently running which no longer serve you. During the healing, (which is usually on a couch and you are fully clothed) I channel a host of energies, which I simply pass through to you in order to restore as much harmony & balance and at the same time recharge your whole field and physical body.

Absent or Remote Healing

Because I see, sense and feel energy, it doesn’t matter if the person whom I am treating is present. I am happy to work with you on the phone, which will require you to be sitting down with your feet up preferably on the couch or lying on your bed propped up with pillows. The main objective is that you are relaxed and able to dialogue with me as is necessary.

Quite a few healers will send healing energy whilst the person is asleep, which I can do but to be honest I personally prefer to involve the client and include them in the whole healing process. I highlight incidents from the past which will require some talking. This I find to be far more beneficial in understanding where energetic clogs & frozen structures were initially set up. Simply sending healing energy is nice but it doesn’t exactly hit the spot and get to the meat and bones of a problem.

You might think how can anyone do a physical healing via the telephone? But believe you me it is a very powerful experience indeed.

It’s like some sort of epiphany. You simply realise that whatever you are doing isn’t you anymore. Perhaps, not everyone goes through this, but I do feel sure that a good majority of folk wonder about their lives, what they are doing, where they are going and why they haven’t been able to instigate some changes.

As little munchkins, our souls are trying to fit in with the families that we are born to and equally with the schools that we attend. However, there isn’t a great deal of room for creative expression, in whichever form that takes, and the social structures that exist. Bog standard curriculums have to be met, behaviour adhered to and rules & regulations obeyed. Such is the set up. I guess you could call this the order factor and without it we might be in chaos.

However, if the ‘order factor’ gets a little too weighty then we start to feel robotic, identity less, a bit rebellious, frustrated and a whole host of negative emotions start to seep in. The trouble is we all want to fit in and we all want to be accepted by our friends or peers or colleagues and family members. But the real crunch comes when the need to fit in and be accepted by our perception of society & family outbids our very own self-acceptance. In other words, if you are prepared to sacrifice yourself so that you will fit in and be accepted by others, then the slippery slope is waiting for you to take the fall and slide. And remember there’s always going to be people out there, who want you in their group if it means they can get their own way, puff their chests out like some rooster and you just lamely tag along. But this isn’t expansive enough for your life….. Hell no!

Finding your tribe and your element depends entirely on your passions and what floats your boat. What do you love doing?

Some people are completely stuck with this question. Their ‘diamond’ has become so caked in junk and tarnished to such an extent that they actually don’t even know what they like to do anymore. It’s sad but a fact. But, the diamond has not gone AWOL it’s still there albeit somewhat lost. So finding yourself is the key and a great place to start is with your senses.

Which senses are your predominant ones and which light you up? I am a very very visual person indeed. I adore colour and light and when these senses are stimulated, I start to radiate my own enthusiasm & with that my energy comes alive and I become highly charged and expansive. I am exceedingly kinaesthetic too along with clairsentient (I feel everything). Therefore, I am at my best when these particular senses are being utilized or turned on. Now I happen to know this about myself but I’ve also taken this understanding to an even deeper level of acceptance and boy does this feel wonderful. I get a real buzz when I look into people’s energy systems and see colours, shapes, tubes, odd patterns and lights etc. It’s the part of healing where I really thrive, come alive and am truly fascinated. When I first got into this stuff, I was scared people would think me too whacky and out there but now, I’m not too bothered.  So the more I have accepted myself, the more fun and happier I have become. And it will be the same for you too.

So the first thing to establish is which out of your senses are you most stimulated by? Let’s take a look at the list:

• Smell
• Taste
• Auditory (clairaudience)
• Visual (clairvoyant)
• Touch/Feel (clairsentience)
• Balance & Acceleration
• Temperature
• Pain
• Body & Relationship of environment (Kinaesthetic)

Intuition, I hate to say is not considered a sense even though it is often referred to as the ‘sixth sense’ but scientifically it cannot be categorised in the same way as the above.

While we may be stimulated to a greater or lesser degree by most of these, some definitely are going to have a greater impact. I am not the most auditory of people. As a child, I would often ‘turn off’ when someone was in lecture mode or telling me how to do something at school. It was as if I couldn’t compute. I recall having trouble following stories being told when ‘Listening with Mother’ was on the radio. I would get restless and distracted because I had difficulty maintaining concentration with this particular sense. Yet if you gave me something to do with visuals or puzzles, I could spend hours being thoroughly absorbed.

So it’s all a question of working with yourself and determining which out of these senses starts to fire you up and try to recall all those things that you naturally enjoyed playing as a child. Trust me; you will have all the answers.

If I go out to eat in a restaurant or coffee shop, the visual environment is really important. I get as much of a kick from the design, the colours, the brick work or the flooring as I do the cup of tea & cake. What about you? Is it important for you to be with other people chatting and sod the decor or are the aromas a necessity to fire you up? Perhaps the actual food takes more precedence, but what stimuli excite you and ignite your passion?

As you become more aware of your sensory needs and start to incorporate activities that enhance your specific senses, you will find yourself becoming more enthused, alive and expansive.  It’s all a question then of encompassing the real you into your life. You may find yourself dropping some friends, not because you don’t like them anymore, but simply because you belong elsewhere and in a different tribe. As you start to become more and more authentic, you then realise exactly how important your authenticity is to you. And as a further benefit, the Law of Attraction kicks in big time and you start to attract all these great experiences and people who share the very same passions as you. How fab is that!
