Here's a taster of my latest article on Bellaonline: Your Higher SelfEveryone has a Higher Self, but few are aware of it and fewer still pause and listen to its wisdom. Here is guidance that will never desert us or judge us, that will always support us no matter what. Your Higher Self is an aspect of you that stands apart from the incarnated ‘busy’ you. It doesn’t get involved in the dramas of Earthly life, rather it is the larger Self, the real essence of You that remains constant. It is the part of you that is always connected to the Divine, even if you are a non-believer and a rationalist. It has been given many names including the Witness and the Wisdom Self. So if we have a constant connection to the Divine through our Higher Self why aren’t we all behaving like angels? Why isn’t this our Heaven on Earth?Your Higher Self allows your Ego self complete free will. Even those who commit the most heinous crimes on this planet have got a Higher Self, they just don’t listen to its promptings. Your Witness Consciousness doesn't get upset and dictatorial with you however widely you stray from the Light. I believe that when the masses wake up to the Divine aspect of themselves the whole of Humanity will be transformed. Perhaps this is one of the changes heralded by the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012 and by the start of the New Age. The Divine aspect of ourselves is a true part of us, the truest part of us. We do not need a middle man to connect with it, nor do we need to look for an answer outside of ourselves. Read the rest of this article here |

I start teaching my Crystal Healing in Glastonbury tomorrow, running an Introductory Day at Growing Needs Bookshop. I've been guided to teach there for a while (merely six years or so I think) and stayed teaching in my comfort zone in Llandrindod Wells! It is lucky I have very patient Guides!
I think we all need a little push to stretch ourselves beyond self imposed limitations now and again. Glastonbury has always felt like a homecoming to me, so I'm excited to start working there and not too nervous, but I've been pretty careful packing my kit ready...I can't just nip upstairs for something I've forgotten!!

I thoroughly enjoyed teaching the first of my Crystal Masterclasses. Our focus was on crystal mandalas and medicine wheels. This course is for those who have already completed their two year crystal healing diploma and want to explore more ideas for using their crystals for their own self development and for healing others. We made a very satifying group mandala and a medicine wheel out in the hills. Here is a mandala I made for myself last week to help me adjust to my daughter leaving home for university. It was therapeutic to create and when we each analysed our mandalas in the group it got some very positive feedback: peace, serenity, balance, intuition like a flower or eye opening love, compassion, growth, grounding, Mother Earth energy, brightness, shining light coming from within, nurturing unlimited boundaries, expansion, grounding, solid foundation on which to build, core of light growth, clarity, stability, enlightenment and richness in life What was interesting is that we didn't compare feedback comments until the end of the exercise, writing our comments and moving on to the next mandala and yet the themes were quite clearly emerging for each one. My daughter is having a fab time away, much better than she expected! |

Still reading Sonia's Ask Your Guides I came across her piece on what she calls 'runners' and I call 'finders'. These are brilliant practical guides that really like to help you out if you'll let them. Mine are just superb & I love them. They don't speak, but they manage to take me to what I am looking for as soon as I ask for help. I've lost count of how many times they've helped me, often after I've been through the rigmorole of looking frantically first. I have to stop, surrender the part of me that was consciously looking and hand the problem over to them. They guide me to walk to the right place and somehow get me to put my hand on directly on the item. It is strange in that I don't feel 'taken over', it is all gentle and supportive. My finders were helping us yesterday. Steve had been looking for his favourite CD of George Thorogood and the Destroyers for months and had given up & found a replacement on Amazon which he was about to order. He gestured to our CD shelf (not a massive collection) which he had been combing through again yesterday morning. As he stood there my hand went out and landed straight on the errant CD without even looking at the titles. It's the first time he's witnessed these guides in action and he was speechless (but grateful)! |

I picked up Sonia Choquette's 'Ask Your Guides' as a little light reading the other day. I like her easy going style that still contains a lot of wisdom. I was reminded that we don't always need to have huge issues to ask for help and that you can ask to be assisted in life whenever you want. I had a number of things to sort out on the practical financial front, so I asked if there was a helper that was willing to guide me to the right people and places to get the best deals. A 'spiritual bargain hunter'. My mobile phone contract was nearly up, my contract phone had broken about six months ago & I bought a very cheap phone to see me through the remaining months. Unfortunately the cheap phone wasn't nearly as easy for me to use as the previous phone and every text was a painstaking endeavour. I wanted to see what my mobile phone company could offer me now. I called them, imagining I'd have to bargain & sound like I was close to leaving. Funnily enough I was put through to another 'Lauren' who was very nice (all Lauren's seem to be, but perhaps I'm biased!) Immediately she offered me a very nice new phone for no extra cost and slashed my monthly payments by more than half- in fact my monthly payments are now half the minimum amount advertised on the site and include unlimited texts & free minutes! I hadn't expected that one- thank you to my bargain hunter guide for being swift to my assistance! |
