  • Meditation to meet your guides

    Focus on you solar plexus. Imagine all of the energy that surrounds you coming into your centre (your solar plexus) then Focus this into a beam of energy coming from the bottom of your feet and the base of your spine. Imagine it travelling down and down through the layers of the earth. Imagine this beam of energy passing by crystal caves, layers of earth, through mines and past dinosaur bones. Imagine this beam of energy going straight down to the centre of the earth. And touching a massive quart crystal at the centre of the earth.

    Once the your beam of energy touches the crystal at the centre of the earth feel the energy of the earth starting to travel back up the energy channels that you have created. Feel this energy moving back up these paths and into your feet. Feel this energy moving up your legs. Fee it in your hips and the base of your spine. As the energy continues to move up you feel it filling you abdomen. Then it moves into your chest. Feel it flooding down your arms and into your hands. Feel it in your shoulders and up into your neck and then through your face and moving up to the top of your head.

    From the top of your head feel the energy leaving and shooting out and going to the centre of the universe. When the energy hits the centre of the universe feel loving light and healing energy travelling back down and into your crown. Feel this energy moving through your head down your neck into your back through your shoulder and down your arms. It move down through your abdomen and legs and down to the centre of the earth. Sit in this energy for a few moments and feel it cleansing, opening and healing you.

    Next I’d like you to imagine a bridge before you. This bridge looks long but your know inside that it isn’t. Imagine starting to walk across this bridge. You take Couple of steps and turn around. You realise you are halfway across the bridge. This bridge is surrounded by mist and low lying clouds and you can’t see anything other than the bridge. You take a few more steps and all of a sudden you feel grass under your feet. You realise you have crossed the bridge. You are now on a rocky outcrop at the top of a mountain.

    The clouds have cleared and you look around. You see a huge temple. The doors look massive and ornate as you walk towards them. You’re now on the top step with the doors in front of you.you push open the doors and they open really easily, like a normal swing door.

    In the temple you see a table that you’d find in a board room. There are empty chair all the way round it. You see a chair and know deep down that it’s yours. You take a seat, and as soon as you sit down you look around the table and se the other chairs filling. At first you aren’t sure who these people are then you realise that these people are your spirit guid and helpers. They are loved ones and you realise you’ve known these people all your life.

    While looking round the room you see an animal playing. You know this animal is your spirit animal and you can talk to it, play with it and learn from it when ever you want. This animal is always around for support and comfort.

    While sat round the table one of your guides will come forward and be clearer than the others. Use this time to talk with your guide and start to build the relationship with them. The guide will start talking to you and teaching you things. Ask them questions ask them how to can improve your relationship with them. They will help and teach you.

    Once the lesson is done thank all those round the table and wish them well on their way. Know that you can return to this temple and work here when ever you want to.

    Thank all present and give your animal guide a friendly pat and head back towards the door. Walk through the door and head back for the bridge. Again this bridge looks long but it isn’t. Start to cross the bridge. As walking across the bridge you see your body appearing through the mist on the far side. Ice across the bridge take a step back into your body. Feel the energy from the ear pulling you back completely. Thank the energy of the universe and the earth.

    Start to wiggle your fingers and toes and when you feel ready open your eyes.

  • Why do I do it to myself.

    Why oh why oh why do I do this crazy stuff to myself.

    While typing this I’m sat in front of the telly and a certain celebrity chef is on. I just don’t like the bloke. I find him really annoying. No idea why but I keep watching his programs.

    The other thing is I keep watching other tv programs and series where something happens to the main character. They may get shot or something like that. It really winds me up and sets off my anxiety. Part of me knows they won’t kill the person off but for some reason I get really really invested in the show and the characters. I know it’s not real life and it’s unlikely they’ll kill them off but I have to know what happens to them and make sure they’re ok.

    Anxiety is an utter bastard, part of me knows what sets me off is stupid and pointless but I can’t stop stressing about the stupid pointless thing.

    I keep trying loads of different things to try and help fight the anxiety and it takes a hell of a lot of effort to calm down. Sometimes it’s watching the next episode, sometimes it’s meditating, sometimes I turn to crystals to help and then there is always alternative therapies like reiki or Karuna. These thing all seem to work some take longer than others and some a just quick fixes. But the best thing I’ve found is to talk to my mum. She’s awesome. If she’s not around I turn to the wonderful world of spirit.

    Spirit are a great source to help deal with anything. I just talk to my guides to help or to another spirit that may be around.

    I know I need to do some more work with spirit but there will always be time for that.

    Over the last few days pain has been around. It’s so annoying and gets me down at times but the sad thing is I’m getting used to it now and it’s almost becoming a normal thing, I just carry on.

    I had a sleep study the other day. It was at home thank god. I was in my own bed. The only issue was that I had to sleep while I was wired up. I’ll put a picture below. I looked like a crap cosplay version of a robot. I just have to wait and see now what happens next.

    Anyway Love and Light.

  • ??????

    I’ve been meaning to write something for the past few days. The problem being I haven’t had a clue what to right about. Decisions decisions decisions.

    I’ve thought about about writing loads of different things. Everything from healing through change, dealing with change and talking about acceptance. I even started writing something the other day. Got a few paragraphs in then decided it did t feel right so deleted it.

    Last week I tweaked a few things on the website. I added a subscription option so you can sign up to get emails when I add something new. I also added something to the reiki page too. So please feel free to have a route round.

    From a spiritual point I’ve been doing some work. Not a lot and I know I should do more and I’ll get round to it at some point.

    This last week though I feel all I’ve done is sleep. I’ve been sleeping so much it’s almost unbelievable. My body clock has shifted and swapped round. It seems to want me to sleep during the day and be awake at night. I’m going to be having a sleep study soon so fingers crossed that will help.

    Breathing has been awkward at times too. Just going up or down the stairs I have to rest and I’ve ended up panting like a bloody dog. I seem to now be even more reliant on my asthma puffers. I even have to use them with something I call my pipe bomb. It’s a plastic tube that the puffer goes in one end and you spray into that and then breath in the inhaler through it. Wheezing is getting annoying as well. I know it’s there most of the time but I notice it more at night when it’s quiet and there isn’t much noise. When that starts time to set up my pipe bomb with my blue puffer. Great fun.

    I was at a pain clinic last week too. And they say they going to help me with the pain but haven’t suggested drugs. They have said though that I will have pain most of the time I just need to learn to deal with it in different ways. They also referred me on to a pain specialist physio. I’m not quite sure how that is going to go. I’ll find out eventually when that starts.

    Last week I had to have a few early mornings which were really hard and made the sleep thing worse. It will all be sorted soon though. I’m determined.

    Anyway that’s enough insane rambling from me. And I will find something better to write about next time. But this is a good way to let people know what’s going on with me.

  • Missing friends

    At weekend I went to see some friends at a dance event I’ve been to for the past few years. Only spent a couple of hours there but it was great to see friends from all over the world.

    I’m sure the hotel hallway wasn’t as hard to get down last year than it was at weekend. That was hard work just going up and down it.

    Seeing friends is great. I had missed them and I hadn’t seen most of them for a good few months. Have to admit though that I was scared as hell on the way to see them. I was so nervous. I know they have all seen me in a wheelchair before and feeling scared was stupid. That is the joy of anxiety though., you can’t control it and it happens at the most awkward and stupid times.

    When I saw my friends again it felt great. Loads of hugs and time to chat. Just catching up with people you haven’t seen for ages is great fun. Just to catch up with them and see they are doing well is always a bonus.

    We got home about teatime so we were only there for a couple of hours. I did struggle when I got home though. Pain, fatigue and brain fog. That’s what I came away with. I spent most of Sunday and Monday sleeping. Those few hours took there toll on me. But I feel the good times outweighed the bad. That’s what it’s all about. Having the good outweigh the bad.

    That’s what we have to fight for. Fight for the light and banish the darkness. It’s what I’ll be fighting for. The good times may take there toll but enjoyment and good times are what they are all about.

    A massive thank you should go out to all my friends the one that are near and the ones that are far. Blessings of love and light go out to all of you.

    Have fun and some massive hugs

    Love and light

  • Time to work together!

    Recent events seem to have clarified this for me. There are too many people working against each other. Everyone seems to feel their opinion is better than someone else’s.

    I’ve said recently that we are all one. I feel it’s about time that this was realised. Yes I don’t like the opinion some people have but I feel I try to educate people to another point of view. Yes I will freely admit that I disagree with decisions that have been made in the past. Decisions that I have made and ones made by others.

    “You can’t make everyone happy”. This is a phrase that is said by god knows how many people and to some extent it is true. But when this happens we should work together to find an goal that is achievable and is what’s best. Going back to a previous post about hate, there is just too much of it. Many people reduce themselves to hate when they don’t agree with something or something come into their lives that is different.

    For example different skin colours, different sexual orientations, different cultures, different religions and beliefs generally lead to hate. Mainly because these things challenge the status quo, they are different from you and your beliefs. Does these things really make someone deserve hate? It’s time to go back to education. If something is different shouldn’t you give yourself time to learn something about it? Learn about other races, religions, creeds, philosophies and what it is that makes them different and why these different people do what they do?

    If we all took a little time to learn about other people then we would be far more accepting of them. Acceptance, this is really what everyone wants deep down. They want to feel part of everything. They want to have a place they can truly call home. Hating the differences is what causes the issues. Hating a difference cut you off from a different view point or even a different world.

    Everything should come from a true place of love. Accepting other people for what and who they are is the only way we can progress and evolve as a society and as a race, the human race. We are all one and it’s time we started acting that way. When people work together and not against each other far more will be achieved. People have every right to feel how they do and believe what they want but it is only through working together that the best can be achieved for everyone and not just the select few.

    Make sure everything you do comes from love and light and all will be well

    Love and light.
