Thanks to everybody who has been in touch to check that I am still alive and kicking! My apologies for the lack of updates and articles coming through. In addition to running my usual clinics in West London and Sussex I have been checking out the latest research and advancements in the field of Personal Transformation (Plus making a few changes of my own!)
I have always promised to stay at the cutting edge of change work, weeding the chaff from the wheat on your behalf and bringing the most effective tools to your sessions. All techniques are first tested on me, then volunteers and the results carefully monitored before integrating into my own work. I would like to thank those who have taken part in the trials. I do not teach anything I have not personally experienced and utilise regularly in my own growth program for a minimum of six weeks.
It is my intention to continue to split my research and training 50/50 between science and intuitive work.
THE LATEST BRAIN SCIENCE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENTS
Until recently science was unable to map the brain with accuracy, hence treating depression, OCD, anxiety etc has been a hit and miss affair. (So hit and miss that in trials a placebo has mirrored results of anti-depressant drugs!)
The Allen Institute for Brain Science, set up by Philanthropist Paul G Allen with a $100m donation to advance brain research, has taken a giant leap forward. For the first time science is now able to witness the brain in 3D at molecular level with microscopic resolution. This research has already shown it is possible to switch off genes that are not helpful and ignite the thousands we have lying dormant! Can you imagine the implications for people who are pre-disposed to certain illness brought down the genetic line?
I have never been a great fan of hypnotherapy as it is ‘doing it to’ the client rather than working with. Interactive/Touch Hypnotherapy has changed that! Marilyn Gordon BCH CI, has created the Transformational Healing Method (THM), based on 30 years experience of Energy Psychology and Hypnotherapeutic Healing. An inspirational woman on many counts, Director and Founder of a California state-licensed hypnotherapy school, the Centre for Hypnotherapy Certification and a Certified Instructor for the National Guild of Hypnotists…… for more about Marilyn: http://www.thewisemind.com/shop/index.html
During the process the client is aware, fully in control and relaxed. Allowing access to the deep inner mind, where old blocks and beliefs are stored. Allowing the client to learn the lesson before releasing the old patterns that are no longer resourceful. Clients are reporting excellent results and a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable session!
This has been especially effective when treating people suffering from Psoriasis and Eczema, often exacerbated by stress and worry.
EVOLVING THE BRAIN – DR JOE DISPENZA
I was delighted to spend two days with Dr Joe, you may remember him from the movie ‘What The Bleep Do We Know?’ Offering the Biology of Change, Dr Joe works hand in hand with Dr Bruce H Lipton, PhD, an internationally recognised authority in bridging science and spirit. Much more of this information to come! I will be working with Dr Joe again in the Autumn and have the intention of continuing this training with a view to bringing his work to this country in 2011.
Yes, a Coach needs coaching too! I have been working with a wonderful writing coach to improve the standard of my normally regular updates and articles. As with most change or growth processes, I have had to unlearn what I thought I knew and re-learn a new way. Those of you who have worked with change will be familiar with the term ‘resistance’, the energetic blocks our mind & body throws out in response to being pulled away from the comfort it knows – even if what it knows is hardly the best way! The result? I have had ‘writers block’ (and the odd mood too!)
As we become aware of what we don’t know, it is easy to throw in the towel and give up. Or, we can pick that towel up and use it to dust ourselves down and step forward through the fear! Watch this space and thanks a million to those of you who are cheering me on from the wings!
RADIO
I have been busy doing several radio interviews, the next one is for the BBC on Monday (7th June) at around 11.15am – if you are interested in listening, or calling in, here’s the link.
There is no doubt that the industry of change and energy psychology is flooded with brilliance and bullsh*t alike – it takes time and patience to find out who is which side of that particular fence.
Dr Eric Pearl has a story which I read with interest and am still undecided which category his work should be filed under! Dr Pearl had the biggest Chiropractic Clinic in California, he was not in need of a bob or two that is for sure! It is claimed that his patients were receiving profound and mysterious healings as his hands began to blister and bleed with a powerful energy being emitted. (Not to be confused with Stigmata)
Dr Pearl’s claims have been put to the test by various US Universities under strict research conditions and science is still trying to find out what the results mean! The reports show a proven shift in Dr Pearls patients’ energetic field, resulting in profound, spontaneous healings of serious emotional and physical disorders. In addition Deepak Chopra, whom I respect greatly, has validated this work – providing the final shove I needed to experience this work for myself.
With an open mind and healthy cynicism, I have booked three Reconnective sessions to begin next week. If I am bowled over by the results I will be flying to Madrid in August and attending a two day workshop which Dr Pearl and will of course keep you posted!
TAT
It appears there has been an advancement on EFT (tapping). TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique®) claims to be an easy way to attain inner peace, relaxation, more vibrant health and empowerment. It is a combination of placing your attention on whatever the issue is and touching a few specific acupuncture points on your face and at the back of your head — that’s it! The main benefit ahead of EFT is that no root cause issue need be located in order to receive lasting benefit.
There are currently no TAT training programs in the UK and another training trip to California is not possible to squeeze into my schedule this year. However, I will be working with TAT remotely from July to find out for myself if these wonderful claims can be truly justified.
To ensure I remain bang up to date with the world of EFT and advancements I am attending a two day seminar in October. Gary Craig, EFT Founder, plus other luminaries in the field will be teaching and speaking.
To retain my work/life balance and feed my other passion, music and dancing, I have been lucky enough to get to The Faithless gig in Brixton and The Black Eyed Peas After-show Party at Indigo – dancing ’til dawn and having a blast……. I will be off to see Van Morrison and The Gypsy Kings next week … keeping the dancing shoes busy! The suitcases are about to be packed with books and the odd bikini as from the 14th June I will be on holiday. I will be available for emergencies via email, phone or text.
If you have any questions, or would simply like to know more about any area of personal transformation work and energy psychology, I always love to hear from you, please get in touch.
Personal re-invention is exciting, finding out who you are from the core and creating a life that perfectly reflects your vision and values brings another dimension to your world. Touch Hypnotherapy is the latest in a string of discoveries to offer the opportunity to break through old walls of fear and trepidation and re-create the life you really want.
Moving on from a relationship, down-sizing, creating a business with purpose, letting go of what no longer makes you happy - can be a time of enthralling transition. Your subconscious mind can assist you in many ways to fulfil your dreams and your potential but do you know how to access this powerful force? New change work holds the capabilities of bringing you into alignment, providing greater vision, momentum and self confidence as you tread the path with newly-ignited passion and knowing.
It is all too easy to get stuck in our old skin, it doesn’t fit us anymore, nor reflect who we truly are . We know our potential is unrealised and our life is passing by but making the shift can feel daunting.
Perhaps you have tried telling yourself not to be so silly, that you should just buckle down and be grateful for all you do have, so get on with it. In theory this sounds reasonable but what is the voice you are so busy drowning out really trying to say? How much longer are you prepared to let the years go by and refuse to listen to your inner knowing?
Having worked for years to advance your career path, create a secure financial platform and become a balanced adult the time has flown and now you are left with a feeling of ‘what next?’. Maybe you have everything you thought you wanted and still there’s a void? You can’t always put your finger on it but nonetheless you are feeling restless and a little dismayed with the life you have worked so hard to create.
Have you reached a point in your life where you thought you would be settled, sorted and satisfied, only to feel that something is missing? Maybe you know your life purpose and passion but are stuck, entrenched in current patterns and habits, held rooted to the spot and fearful of moving forward. As we make the decision to change it is time to seek clarity and straighten out the confusion, providing a strong foundation to translate our dreams into reality.
Busy schedules mean we rarely have time to invest in increasing the quality of our life. Transformational work has come a long way in the past few years and can affect positive change from the outset. Neuro Science has taught us how to create new neurological pathways, re-program our minds, dispersing fear and limiting beliefs, bringing clarity and a true sense of fulfilment.
Whether you are new to EFT, or a beneficiary, the chances are you would like to know more about how it works. Gary Craig, Founder of EFT, has put together this video which might help answer any questions you may have .
It is worth noting that Gary Craig charges nothing for his web instructional videos as his mission is to speed up and spread the great results EFT can achieve. An inspirational man who has followed his passion, understood his purpose and taught so much to so many!
His website http://www.emofree.com will help you work with EFT on your own.
I personally stumbled on EFT some years ago and eventually got the better of my cynicism, which was running riot at the thought of tapping a few points and witnessing immediate change.
It all seemed to be a bit too good to be true! Once trained, I had intended to slowly integrate EFT with other tried and tested change methods, it soon become one of my most used and consistently effective tools.
Put all of your attention and focus on this red rose for one full minute.
When intrusive thoughts try to interrupt allow them to float by like a wind-swept cloud.
You may not be highly visual in your imagination - you will feel, sense or think of the single red rose.
This may be more difficult for you than you expect, stay with it.
Each second that you succeed in giving complete attention to that rose in your mind you are proving to yourself you can have the power over your mind, diminishing the minds power over you.
You are building your mental mastery confidence!
Within a week of implementing this daily exercise into your schedule
You will feel mentally stronger and more confident in your ability to control your thoughts.
Week two increase the exercise to 90 seconds – At the beginning it may be tough but hang on in there
Everything we create in our life starts with a thought, it makes sense to be vigilant and take responsibility for each thought we think! This exercise, applied daily, will provide mental muscle growth, strength and confidence in all areas of mental mastery!
Let me know how you progress and I will be delighted to support you through the next steps, taking you forward to self empowerment and personal growth.

‘Manifestation’ – the new buzz word but what does it mean to you?
The word ‘manifestation’ has come into our lives from every direction over the past couple of years. There are best selling books like The Secret still flying off the shelves, with millions of copies sold, in the hope of finding a simple way to create what we want in our life but are we any closer to finding the answer?
The self help book industry is now worth $7bn – are we getting our money’s worth? If you have read book after book and still feel no further forward it’s because you are not taking action. Reading and learning is great but it won’t make a difference unless you apply the content with diligence and even then there are a lot of reasons you could find yourself disappointed.
So, what does manifestation really mean? That you just think about something you want to attract into your life and it’s yours? Well, yes, that’s the headline and the basic premiss! You might be wondering why haven’t the millions of people who are actively manifesting their goals got what they have been dreaming of forever?
The real secret is that your entire being has to believe and behave as though you already have what it is you wish to create. Therefore if you hold doubt, or a limiting belief at some level, that you don’t deseve or can’t be trusted with your object of manifestation – it just can’t happen. Your goals are being actively blocked by these deep seated negative beliefs.
If you are manifesting a healthy bank account but were brought up to believe that “Money is the root of all evil” or “All affluent people will do whatever it takes, including hurting others, to achieve their wealth” (two popular intrinsic beliefs) it is no wonder that you are failing to reap the rewards of your manfiestation labour.
Your mind processes around 70,000 thoughts a day! That’s almost 5,000 per hour and 73 thoughts per minute, which is more than one each and every second! Maybe you could take a moment to chew over the enormity of those numbers and what they represent in your life? If we are having anything 70,000 times a day it makes sense to make it count!
With 98% of your thoughts being repetitive and not new we find ourselves regurgitating the same beliefs, opinions, knowledge and results, often without challenging them. Where have all these repetitive thoughts got you and, now you come to mention it, how do they make you feel?
If you are feeling bored and tired with yourself, the fastest and most effective way to change the situation is to add more new thoughts and experiences to the mix. Stretch your mind out of that comfortable place you have allowed it to reside and grasp the opportunity to re-evaluate what you are constantly telling yourself!
If we keep feeding our brain the same old stuff that keeps us firmly within our comfort zone we become tired and jaded. When was the last time you put effort into creating new thoughts? The older we get of course the more effort it takes to come up with new experiences and inspiration but we still don’t have to look far, just in a different direction!
Remember, your brain can only have one thought at a time.
You can CHOOSE what that thought is.
Fed up with the clouds and rain? Feeling as though your life is stuck in the grey-ness?
Are you waiting for the weather to cheer up to provide you with the change in your life and the way you are feeling?
The sun always helps our feel good factor but unfortunately it does not change the issues in our lives. Prepare for the best Spring/Summer of your life by deciding what you want and making some small changes NOW!
Remember you have choice, you can choose to accept the parts of your life that are not to your liking or you can choose to change them. Take responsibility for creating the life you want and be surprised at how little effort it takes!
“Leave every person you come into contact with the impression of enhancement.”
Bob Proctor
A simple way to change your world, to attract what you want …. stop looking around for inspiration - look in the mirror, that’s where you will find the greatest influence with the least effort! With a few small alterations to the way you think it is simple to make the difference you’ve been looking for. Take a vow today, be different, stand out and forge your own path – here is lesson one to get you on your way!
Start looking for what people do well, seek out the best in people.
Let them know you notice, with specific feedback.
Be genuine! (Flattery is uninspiring and will not add to your world!)
Give an idea that inspires them.
If you see the best in people, circumstances, situations your entire world will improve.
Are you fed up with people wishing you happy new year when it feels like anything but?
It seems you are not alone! After the hype and pressure of the Festive Season here we are in 2010 but for many people nothing has changed except for the date. A New Year can signify the opportunity for a fresh start and a ‘New Decade’ – well, it could be said that is even more auspicious!
Feel less gloomy and add a sense of purpose and real optimism for a transformation from the gloom to to the bright light that signifies the end of the tunnel. If you don’t start to work towards what it is you really want in your life now, when will you? Tomorrow never comes, today is already here – let’s make the most of it!
Have you really thought about what it is you want instead of what is making you feel gloomy? Or are you spending your time and energy concentrating on what you don’t have and what it is you don’t want?
