Wonderful Weekend

A huge thanks to all those who came along to yesterday's Workshop in Blackrock. 

It was a great privilege to share this work and introduce it to so many new people.

Thanks for all the sharing ,digging deep and releasing. It is so inspiring to get positive feedback and hear of people's insights and gains , it encourages us all to keep focused on Letting Go. 

 Looking forward to the next session already.

Then to put the 'icing on My cake'  I had a session in Castletownbere today.

Perfect blue skies as I drove west.

There was a change of 'feel' to the countryside as if everything is awakening , the whole atmosphere felt alert.

And yet the distant hills were dreamy.

And mysterious.

Once again this road enchanted.

The sea called to me,

And filled my heart .      .         .

With the wonder and gratitude for this life.

Home at last tired and very happy.

Deeper Into The 'Dance'

The more we practice this 'Dance' the more interesting it becomes.

Joan and Steven.

It is really good to work with different people as it awakens one up to the subtle differences in peoples energy .  It is such a blessing to have dedicated interested people who share the passion.

A Short Trip West

I had some Reconnective Healing to do near Bantry yesterday .

And of course the landscape drew me out  .   . ....

Childhood memories came tumbling through my mind as we drove 

through the tunnels. 

Work called and there was just time for a short stop to soak up the beauty and nourish the spirit for the homeward journey. Happy with a great day's work.

Mini Form For Breginners

Love Is The Answer And A Universal Balm

Lately I have been reminding myself ( and anyone who will listen to me ) to love everything.
Send love to the pain in your shoulder , to the person who is anoying you, and most especially to your full self.
Love heals all wounds, I have found this to be true in my life and from the feedback I'm  getting from others it seems to be universally true.

This sending love to ourselves and everything else is the highest work we can do and it takes energy.
The only time it doesn't work is when we forget to do it.

We are mostly thought to motivate ourselves with fear.  Our socities try unsuccessfully to reform ofenders through punishment and fear.

Is this working has this ever worked ?

I can see no evidence of the benefit of instilling fear in anyone at any time.

However whenever I give love to myself or to anyone or anything elseI reap immediate benefits.

I feel better instantly.

 Try it for yourself right now , jusc close your eyes for a moment and dwell in LOVE , it can be LOVE of anything from your neighbours cat to your long deceased uncle or yourself . It makes no difference what the object of your love is, experiment with this and proove it for yourself , whatever you choose to LOVE will increase your LOVE and your wellbeing.

     Listen and believe Julie when she sings you are impossibly beautiful .

Stuff Worth Remembering

                                        You are ALIVE

                        You have amazing senses thac can smell

                               
                                            You Can Taste

    You Can Feel

And one of the most amazing things about you is just like me you can think and imagine. 

Thanks to our amazing brain we have the power to imagine so even if we cant get to the lavender fields of Provence we have the power to travel there in our imagination . 

How amazing is that.

If we are having a 'bad' day we can shift that feeling through our imagination. 

We can take a mini trip to somewhere amazing maybe back to a day we really enjoyed , a day when we were in the 'flow' when everything just worked out perfectly. Just by activating that memory and feeling the feeling of things working out helps us to shift our mood and realise that there is really no such thing as a 'bad' day. It just all depends on here we choose to put our attention .

We always have the choice .

Now I think that that is something worth Remembering.
