Healing yourself to help others heal

If someone would have told me 5 years ago I would be doing what I’m doing now, I would have laughed until next week.  There would have been absolutely no way I could get my head around what some people call the woo woo new age stuff!

Fast forward to now and waoah, it’s a completely different ball game.  Now I’m fully immersed in my own healing, spiritual and personal growth that I can’t get enough of it and in fact it’s my number one core value before anything else.  And yes even before my 2 beautiful cats Mia and Pudding

You see, I figure that when I am running on a full battery, I’m able to give myself fully to everyone else around me.  Even if it’s to take those few extra moments to give a warm smile to the girl on the checkout who looks like she’s had a terrible day.  To wave a thank you hand with a smile to the guy that nearly runs me over on the zebra crossing    To give my family the nurturing they need when times get tough. 

When I’m feeling good, other people feel good without realising why.  When I’m on form, the world is such a great place to so many people.  When I pursue excellence, it gives others the motivation to do the same.  You see my full battery allows me to give in so many ways, which is why when I heal myself, I help others to heal too.

I love my life, I love my job, I love that I learned how to heal.

Karl Dawson, EFT Master back in Brussels

After the success of Karl Dawson’s Courses last year, I asked him to come back again and he warmly accepted!

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also known as Tapping is becoming more and more popular as people seek alternatives to traditional medical and health practices.  Science is rapidly catching up and can now prove that energy therapies such as EFT can radically transform lives, including PTSD, Serious Disease, Stress, Anxiety, Fears, Phobias and much more

It was through my own transformation using EFT that I became much more than a fan and gave up my day job to focus on helping people making changes to their lives that were once seen as impossible.  Here are some of the ways that I’ve benefitted from EFT:

• Fully heal my abnormal cervix cells, they are now completely normal after 10 years
• Released 20 + years of constant headaches and migraines
• Eliminated neck, shoulder, hip, lower back and knee problems
• Stop regular bouts of flu, colds, sinus infections (I was getting one of these every 2 months lasting for up to 6 weeks!!)
• Increase my confidence and self esteem
• Let go of anger, grief and desperation
• Remove blocks, habits, patterns and beliefs that were keeping me dead on the spot

If you think EFT might be right for you, you can come to my ‘Discover EFT’ workshop in Brussels on Tue 9 February at 19.30.  Click for more information.

Are you ready to live your Brilliance?

It doesn’t matter why you aren’t living a Brilliant Life in this very moment, the underlying cause is always same.  It all starts with YOU.

You are a Powerhouse; you are yet to discover how to use it to your advantage.  This is the very reason you face some form of challenge.  Living a Brilliant life is a whole different ball game to what you’re used to, no matter where you are in your life, no matter what you’ve already achieved.

The great thing is we are all work in progress.  Unless you are the epitome of Buddha, Gandhi or some other great leader, there is always room for improvement.  How you decide to go about making those improvements is up to you.

By choosing to own your innate Brilliance, you will open yourself up to a completely new way of being, thinking & feeling.  And let’s face it, if you haven’t already got a life you love, something has to change and with my expertise I can confirm that new thinking, new feeling and new being is right up there at the top of the Living Brilliantly list!

TOP 10 WAYS TO LIVE BRILLIANTLY!

1. Blinkered vision will prevent you from fulfilling your brilliant life.  Like a horse, when you wear your blinkers, you can only see what is in front of you.  When you take off your blinkers, you’ll open yourself up to the immense opportunity that completely surrounds you.
2. Living Limitlessly starts by undoing the self imposed limits you’ve placed on yourself.  The only person stopping you from having exactly what you want is you.  Take the cap off your capabilities & you will be surprised at what you can achieve.
3. Stop blaming other people, circumstances and events for what you have or haven’t got in your life. Take responsibility for everything; good and bad, and you’re inner power will stand out like never before.
4. Pursue excellence in all you do and do it with commitment.  Dreams don’t come true sitting on the sofa waiting for something to happen.
5. Resistance will appear sometimes out of nowhere, learn to recognise it and work through it.
6. There’s only so much you can achieve on your own, find a Mentor, Coach or Accountability partner to help you move beyond your boundaries.
7. Energy drains are the biggest cause of stunted dreams.  Who and what drains your energy?  Get them out of your life, starting with your own draining thoughts and beliefs and become a radiator of positive energy.
8. You can only feel good when your vibes are high, high, high, make it your top priority to do more of what you enjoy and less of what you don’t.
9. Learning to love yourself is the most important part of building your foundation.  Start by loving you just the way you are, after all you’re already Brilliant!
10. Listen to what your natural guidance system is telling you!  YOU have all the answers, you just need to start tuning into them.

Why your New Years Resolutions won’t stick

For most, the New Year means new goals, fresh ideas and bags of excitement but by the time February comes, we’ve fallen back into our old ways and our New Years resolutions seem like a distant memory.   Many people evaluate their life at the end of the year and have the irresistible urge to make life changes on January 1st.

This method of changing old habits and setting new patterns is a sure fire way to set us up for failure. We set our self high expectations, we have to give things up and we can become judgmental about our failures from previous years.  On top of that there is the natural fear and resistance to change that we have all experienced at some point in our lives.

Mix up these factors and you’ve already set negative emotions which become stumbling blocks around our will power and good intentions. And I don’t know about you but the older I get, the less my willpower seems to want to co-operate! 

I remember only to well the goals I half heartedly set in the past hoping to get started on New Years day, only to have fallen at the first hurdle, normally experiencing failure by 3rd or 4th of January!!  No wonder the New Year stops being fun and filled with excitement before we reach February. 

So rather than wait for 2010 to arrive, take some time to write out your goals for next year.  Instead of relying on your willpower to get you through, set your goals with meaning and value, ask yourself questions like, ‘what’s my why, why do I want to achieve these goals?’.  If you’ve tried before and not succeeded ask, ‘why has this failed in previous years, what can I do differently this time?’, go beyond the want and write down the benefits you’ll experience when you achieve your goal and what are the benefits to others.  The more benefits there are, the more reasons you have to achieve it.  Find yourself an accountability partner, a mentor or support group, so you have people to help guide your through your growth.

Start giving your goals focus and attention NOW and before you know it some of you will have achieved them before the New Year even gets here.

Here’ to a successful 2010, I’ve written out my goals, have you?!

I just want it out!

I had a personal EFT / Matrix Reimprinting session with an excellent practitioner, Ted Wilmont in UK on Thursday.  I truly believe that as a Coach and Healing Practitioner, it’s absolutely necessary to consistently work through your own traumas and to have someone guiding you to be the best you can be.

In my session with Ted, I worked on a couple of issues, the first was an incident that had occurred last March on an aeroplane.  I was flying back from Dominican Republic with my boyfriend after a much deserved holiday.  We’d been on the plane for about an hour when the food came round.  I wanted the fish but ended up with beef.  Rather than stop what I was doing and concentrate on eating my food, I was more interested in watching the movie and eating without mindfullness (WARNING, EAT MINDFULLY!!).

I obviously hadn’t chewed the meat properly and swallowed it in a chunk, which subsequently got stuck in my throat.  I felt that it needed some help to go down, so had some water.  Gulp after gulp and nothing moved, the meat was firmly lodged and the water ended up gurgling out of my mouth.  At this point I started to panic and tried to get out of my seat but my seatbelt was on, my boyfriend then began to panic and also tried to get out of his seat.  Those few moments seemed to last forever. 

The air hostesses did their best but neither of them really knew how to do the heimlich manoeuvre to get the meat out. After banging on my back, squeezing my abdominals and fingers down my throat, the meat moved and I could breathe, thankfully.  However, I was still in a panic and just wanted to get it out, but no matter what we tried it was still there.  This ordeal lasted for the longest hour of my life before it finally went down. 

In those first few moments I honestly thought I was going to die.  My life flashed before me and all I could think about was the people I would leave behind.  Thankfully, it wasn’t my time to go and instead I learned a lot from the experience, one of them being to chew my food properly!

I knew that the incident would affect me on some level but it wasn’t immediately noticeable.  That is until this year, whenever I ate quite solid foods, I would feel as though it was getting stuck, regardless of how much I chewed.  This started to happen on a more frequent basis, until it got to the point where I was having problems taking my vitamins.  I would swallow and my throat would go into panic, which then led to my mind going into panic.

I had previously had an EFT/Matrix Reimprinting session with someone else and I had done some EFT on myself but still it seemed that there was some trauma that needed to be released.  I told Ted the story and he led me through a Matrix Reimprinting session.

One of the key things with EFT and Matrix work is listening to the client, what words are they using that are important to help the client to heal.  In this instance. Ted heard me say ‘out’ quite a few times.  The water came out of my mouth, I couldn’t get out of my seat, my boyfriend couldn’t get out of his seat, the air hostesses couldn’t get it out, I just wanted it out.  Time again I was using the word, out, this was a crucial understanding for Ted to know how to help me heal. 

An important understanding is that this incident was unexpected, dramatic, isolated and I didn’t know what to do, a perfect trauma recipe.

Ted knew exactly what to do and directed me into the Matrix to help my ECHO who was stuck repeating the same event over and over.  As I stepped in, I got my ECHO out of the seat where she was choking, I took her to the front of the plane, performed the heimlich manoeuvre and the meat came out within seconds, she picked it up out of the sink and said ‘thank God it’s out’.

Sitting in my chair speaking to Ted through skype, I felt immediate relief and began to laugh.  The trauma was finally healed!  Throughout the day I had a lightness that stayed with me along with a smile all I kept thinking was ‘Thank God it’s out’.

On reflection, the meat getting stuck in my throat was exactly what I feeling at the time.  I felt stuck in my job and I felt extremely trapped. It’s amazing how our body mirrors what we are going through in our life.

It is amazing how far we have advanced when it comes to healing emotions, traumas, sickness, disease and much more.  Matrix Reimprinting  really is a cutting edge technique and I’m so thankful to Karl Dawson for creating it and to Gary Craig for sharing his EFT wisdom with the world. 

And of course a huge thanks to Ted for finally getting it out!
