So emotions have been running high today for a lot of people.

I personally didn’t know any of the 22 who were lost 12 months ago. But it happened in my local city. A sad day but just showed by everyone in it that hate will never win. Love will overcome all.

What is love this not hereafter present mirth hath present laughter what’s to come is still unsure in love there lies no plenty.

Old words from Shakespeare. Still true though. Love has no plenty it never end and never runs out. We must do everything we can to love one another it is the only way we will stamp out hate.

There is too much hate in the world as it is. We must do everything we can to stamp it out. Love is the only way we can beat the hate. It’s finding the light it the darkest of places.

To find the light we must look hard and never stop. The search is never ending. Never give up hope. Spare a thought for the ones who have been lost in that appalling cowardly act 12 months ago. The 22 will never be forgotten.

Also love the ones you may have lost personally . Send out love for everyone and everything. It is the right thing to do. Big love to one and all.

A very short post tonight but remember love love love.

Here is a beacon of light to help all who are lost and for those we have lost.

I’ve had major pain for the last few days. It’s really bad. Agony even. Even tramadol have been struggling to deal with it. The pain has been pretty pants but the drug induced hazes have been pretty fun.

On a different note I feel a bit like a kid at Christmas. I’m excited for tomorrow. I’m getting a new tattoo.

Some sacred geometry. The flower of life. It contains all the Platonic solids and a few other things too. It looks pretty anyway,

For the last few days I’ve cut down on drinking coke as well. That is a massive step for those that know me. I am a massive coke fiend. The drink that is not the illegal substance. All I seem to have done for the last few days is sleep. The fatigue has been sky high. Think its due to lack of caffeine. Suppose it was doing something. Been drinking hell loads of vimto. As if it’s going out of fashion. A couple of litres a day. Better than coke. Less sugar anyway.

Short and sweet post today.

Love and light.

Well today I went for a bath. Not what you’re thinking you dirty person. It was a gong bath.

What is a gong bath? Basically you lie on the floor in a room while someone plays some gongs. Sounds simple and not quite right to some but let me tell you you go deep. It’s like a really really really deep meditation. It unlocks a lot of things and you can use the time to do a lot work spiritually.

I went with my mum, didn’t really know what to expect as I’ve never done anything like it before and neither has my mum. I had a vague experience with gongs a few years ago at an mbs fair but it was nothing like today. Then it was in a room full of people chatting away, psychics plying their trade and healers doing their thing. Let just say you could hardly hear yourself think let alone go anywhere in a meditation. So I discount that time as anything legitimate.

It was at the local spiritual centre/ church today. Like I said earlier I didn’t know what to expect or have any plans for a journey so deep. When we got there we laid out our blankets to lie on and I used the bolster pillow I got at the big MBS fair in Manchester. On a side note it is quite comfortable.

Once we were all set the lady playing the gong gave a little talk. She said the theme of what they were playing was Love and Light. I thought that was really nice. She also said that people have been known to go on a very deep journey during the sessions she’s done in the past. Again I though cool. I’ll let it go and see what comes up.

I forgot to mention that I laid out some of the crystals I had in my bag including my pendulums. I also put out the reiki stone I have. I thought they’d get a good blast from the energy anyway even if I didn’t, I lay back and the playing began.

Before I knew it I was away with the fairies (some would say I’m away there most of the time). I went really really deep. It’s been a while since I’ve done that. I decided to channel reiki throughout the session anyway again to get something out of it. A bit of self healing never goes amiss. I also called in the ascended masters, ascended reiki people, gods and goddesses, angels and archangels and any other beings of light that wanted to come through.

During the session I was having work done everywhere and I mean everywhere. They were working on my head and on my eyes and ears. Working on my legs too. I’m glad about that, it’s where I normally get pain. I had conversations with people about all sorts of things, mainly about improving the spiritual abilities I have. They helped improve things and work on things that needed it.

The journey was cool, I loved it and I want to do it again.

One another note I’ve also be doing a lot of work with reiki recently to. I re built my reiki web of light and have a few things in there that need reiki. I also tied it into the ICRT world piece grids that are doted all over the planet. So that should give it an extra boost when they do a peace grid meditation. It will also help boost the grids around the world. Anyway it’s time to do a bit more reiki work so got to get going and working.

Love and light all.

P.S. If you would like to be added to my reiki grid let me know.

To me the communion of spirit is in part about making contact with the other side. It’s not just people that have crossed over but it’s the people that are here now. Everyone and everything is spirit.

Everyone and everything is connected. I’m not just talking about relations and family connection but friends and even mrs smith down the road. We are all connected through spirit. The connection is stronger with some people and they are normally close friends and relatives. The connection is still there with the average joe you see on the street.

All of these spirits can teach you lessons, help you through tough times or even just be there for company. The best way to enhance the connection with anything is through love. You love your parents and your partners, why not show love to someone else?

Showing love will improve you connection. You get people like me that can connect and talk to people on the other side. That mainly cos we have opened up ourselves to do that. Some people can talk to anyone anywhere. It’s the same with mediums and psychics. It’s just that we talk to people that have crossed over as well as people on this side.

Communion is another way of saying sharing thoughts, feelings, emotions and communicating. Everyone communicates. A lot of people communicate without realising it. This is done mainly through body language. If you’re in pain there may be a grimace on your face. If you’re unhappy you may look sad. These are all methods of communication.

Mediums are here to help people. We pass messages from loved ones on the other side to help, teach or guide people on their own path.

As everyone is spirit and connected I think people should always spare a moment to think of others. Send love and the good old thoughts and prayers. By helping others that are less fortunate than you, you are helping spirit and in turn helping yourself.

I think everyone can make a connection to lost loved ones. Just by having that conversation with them. You may feel silly talking to yourself but trust me. They are there listening. You may not hear the answers they are giving but they are there. They will help where they can and push you in the right direction if it’s needed. I’ve even know spirit to give the occasional kick up the backside to people who need it. That’s just to get them going. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. The same way you can have a conversation with someone they hear you but don’t listen to what you’re actually saying. It can be the same with you and spirit.

Just by talking to spirit, it can make you feel better. Having a session where you put the world to rights works brilliantly with spirit just as it does with friends. If you can’t see, hear or feel them, they might give you the answer through a dream or even just by popping a random thought in your head. They do say spirit works in mysterious ways.

The best way to think of a medium is like a receptionist. We answer the call and pass the message on. Sometimes we have to filter it especially if the language is a little on the colourful side. We send the message on in one way or another. Some people draw pretty pictures, from me though you’d be lucky to get a stick man. Others sing, if I did I’d empty the room. Some mediums can tell you the life story of the person they’re dealing with. As is always true everyone is different but don’t forget we are still all connected through spirit.

Love and light.

Well really good few days. I’ve achieved lots and done a fair few good things. A few other things have happened to.

Let’s start on Friday daytime. Had a very slow day. I slept for most of the morning then got up as had to go out. First trip was to take my nephew to the dentist. His abscess has got worse. The last lot of anti booties didn’t really help. He’s now been given some stronger ones, just hope these one will help him. He was a bit moany for most of the afternoon so I said he could ride with me in my wheel chair. At least that perked him up a bit.

Then my sister and him went home and me and my mum carried on to the doctors. I had an appointment to discuss my medication. We had the discussion with the gp and then went to the chemist to get the prescription sorted.

That evening I went to the development group. There were some new people there. We haven’t had new people in the group for ages. We also had another member rejoin the group. It was great to see her again. The session went well with the group. Had a basic play with energy night. It’s nice to go back to basics and help new people learn things.

One of the last exercises we did was sending energy round the circle and then out into the room to see what we picked up. It was cool. I think all of the new people picked something up and felt the energy moving which is great in its self. During the session I picked up on something not so nice so me and my spirit team shifted it. Other than that it was a really good night.

Today was a day for garden shopping. Well I was going to do some gardening but my mum and I took ages in the garden centre so gave up on the idea of doing anything, just chilled for the evening and then decided to do this.

Love and light.

Well the journey always continues and doesn’t stop it just gets side tracked.

I’ve started doing some work again with a good friend and I’m back on track with my spiritual work again.

Today we discussed a few different things and one of them was about dealing with contradicting information. It was cool and great to find out how to deal with contradictions. Eg when a question has a yes or no answer and there is no definitive answer. It’s about looking at the different possibilities and discussing them in more detail.

This is something I always struggled with. It’s something that has cropped up for me in real life tonight to.

I was looking through Facebook and came across a discussion about freedom of speech. I started writing a reply then thought it would make a great post. I started typing away and then thought I may offend someone with what I was saying and the examples I was using. Or that someone may dislike what I have to say so I decided to change the whole thing. Anyway it was about freedom of speech and freedom of opinion. I was thinking everyone is free to say what they want. And if someone else has a differing opinion they need to discuss it and educate the other person. This then made me think of examples where someone with a negative opinion could sway someone with a positive one. I thought this could lead down a problematic path and things may lead to negative things happening where things that aren’t right happen. It’s happened in the past and caused wars and god knows what.

So I decided that rather than say something negative I wouldn’t say anything at all. I will say though that I think everyone is entitled to an opinion if it’s right or wrong is a different story. I’ll leave it there. Feel free to educate others but try to look at what is right. Do not promote hate, promote love. Do not promote difference promote equality. Find the light in a situation and it can be resolved peacefully and darkness can be removed. Do not try to force your opinion down anyone’s throat. Listen to what they have to say and be nice about it.

At pride last year I decided to go to the vigil on the Monday night. It was emotional but made a very good point about education being the right way to go. If it is done from a place of love and light it can’t be wrong. Teaching people about others differences and helping them to accept them I feel is a good way to go.

I feel it’s great being back on the spiritual path. I will develop, nothing will stop me. I will practice more and work more closely with my spirit team. They can teach me everything I need to know. Again this goes back to the point of education. I feel if people learn more about others or can only lead to acceptance and goodness.

I still have a ways to go and the journey is never over but it will lead to good things. The journey is often better than the destination. Life is a journey at the end of the day. I’m sure there is a song there but for the life of me I can’t think what it is.

Yes this post has been a bit of a rambling effort going here there and everywhere but hey, that’s life.

Anyway as always love and light.

Well it’s been a few days since my last post. I’ve had a hard weekend and other days too for that matter. I’ve dealt with things from baking cinnamon rolls, drinking vodka and jet washing the garden.

Since my last update I’ve had to deal with my nephew and his moaning and whinging and not wanting to do his spellings. Also about treating him with antibiotics because of an abscess. I understand why he didn’t want the antibiotics though. As he’s only young he gets the liquid version. I know from experience that the pills taste nasty so the liquid it’s self must be even worse. So fair do’s to him. It’s gonna be nasty.

Spelling wise he did really well considering he didn’t want to practice them. He got 7 out of 8. Bravo little dude. There were times though that I had to retreat to my little man cave of a greenhouse. I struggled to deal with his moods and arguments. Part of his homework though is that he has to grow something from a seed or bulb. Had the bright idea that he should plant some lettuce.

I wouldn’t mind but his seem to be growing better than mine. They are coming through and doing quite well at the moment. Only issues is he has to take care of them. That wouldn’t be a problem if he didn’t like watering the whole greenhouse. Including the beds with nothing in them other than weeds. He like to almost drown everything else in there too. It’s quite funny though but it saves me a job.

I have had to do other things in the greenhouse like put plastic bottles over some of the plants to help them thrive a bit. Even with a heater on it isn’t quite warm enough yet for things to thrive. I’m looking at other things to help warm it up a bit too. Considering things like candle and flower pot heaters and stuff like that. Just need to try different things I suppose.

I have been asked through my mum by other mums from the school if I would help them with the garden they are doing. I said I would but need to find out what they actually want me to do. I’ll find out and suppose it gets me out of the house for a bit.

Yesterday I decided to make some cinnamon rolls. Oh my god they looked good and tasted even better. I took them to a family gathering in the afternoon. I wasn’t looking forward to it as I was expecting to get, how you coping? I knew someone that had that and they’re fine and running marathons and stuff. Luckily I didn’t. I got to see people I haven’t seen for a long time. I also got to know people I didn’t before. Well I did know them but not if that makes sense. Let’s just say at the party I got a little squiffy. 3/4 of a bottle of vodka. Not sure if it was a good move or not. Probably not.

I did wake up this morning though feeling fine and without a hangover. So that’s good I guess.

Oh Friday was a busy day for me. I went to the local ms support group. That was cool. Did some physio stuff and some exercises. Also when to the pool with my sister and nephew. I had the bright idea I may even try swimming. A bit of exercise does you good or so they say. As I’m typing this I obviously didn’t drown. It was bloody hard work. Managed a length or two and it nearly killed me. I was shattered. Doesn’t sound like I did much but everything that day nearly wiped me out completely. I know I need to budget energy more effectively. I may have energy right now but need to think about what else I have to do either later that day or for the next few days. My energy now is in a finite supply so have to take care of it. I learned that the hard way.

Today was another stupid thing. I decided when I woke up I was gonna have a lazy day. That lasted until about lunchtime. Then I decided that I would do some bits in the garden. Out came the jetwash and thought I’d do a bit then rest the. Maybe do a bit more or stop. The issue is I get fixated on things and have to finish something if I start it. So I jetwashed the whole yard. It’s not easy hobbling round with a walking stick and jet wash. I did the whole thing. Again it nearly killed me. Literally this time. I was so cold and wiped out afterwards I couldn’t open my hands and they were stuck round my walking stick. I was sent to have a shower by my mum and dad. Mainly to clean up and warm up. I spent nearly an hour in the shower. Having to use a plastic footstool step thing to sit on as I couldn’t really stand anymore.

Now I feel like I’ve been drinking all day. I haven’t touched a drop. Head is spinning body feels broken and heavy. I’m all achey and considering some strong painkillers as the pain is building. My body is tired and wants sleep but I don’t feel tired. It’s weird.

Anyway, that’s enough from me. Love and light.

That is a bit of an interesting question. I haven’t really don’t much to be honest. I’m making some headway in the garden though. My new compost bins arrived yesterday. So I’ve emptied the sacks I had spuds growing in. They have gone in one of them.

I think I’ve overdone it a bit today though. Over exerted myself you could say. I think that because I’ve spent most of the evening in a confused haze.

There are still a few things I have to empty into the bins, but I do have to figure out what are weeds and what are plants I wanted to grow.

I’m trying to only grow things that have a use and are edible or give me something at the end. There are one or two flowering plants though. You have to have something that’s pretty don’t you?

My nephew has been quite awkward though over the past couple of days. I have had to retreat to my room or to the greenhouse when he has started. I haven’t been able to cope with him. It’s pretty pants, that I can’t cope with confrontation, especially from a 6 year old. He never wants to read, write or do any of his homework.

I have another day in the garden tomorrow and will end up stinking of jays fluid. They joys. But needs must, I have to clean up the bags and pots that have been used. Just hope I find a dry patch in the weather. Going to an ms support group on Friday though so that should be fun. It’s a trip out anyway.

The weirdest thing that’s happened today is I was contacted by an old friend. Someone I haven’t spoken to for a long time. It was great to have a bit of a chat and catch up. Just a shame it was over the phone though.

Love and light.

Yesterday was a really good day. I did find it a long day though. I went to a mind, body and spirit show with my mum and my sister. It was a great day and got to see a really good friend.

My friend is called Sarah. She is a natural psychic and clairvoyant medium that does lots of other spiritually things. Like past life regression and reiki and stuff like that. She’s great. She has taught me so much stuff over the past few years and has been a great inspiration to me. She is the one that helped me to access properly the wonderful world of spirit. She taught me how to use the gifts and skills I have. I can’t express the love and gratitude I have for this wonderful lady enough. Love and light Sarah and thank you.

well the day started off like any other day really. I dragged my lazy ass out of bed and had a shower. Got ready and did my hair then had some toast for breakfast. The breakfast was on the orders of my mother. Have to do as I’m told lol. We piled into the car and set off for event city (near the Trafford centre). We pulled up a little early and joined the queue. There was a yoga show and vega show on all at the same time. The yoga show meant lots of people wandering round in Lycra. Some looked ok and as you’d expect some didn’t. Once we checked in we had to wait for the doors to open.

We were in the foyer for about 10 minuets. I started to feel really uncomfortable in there even though we we told to wait at the side. There were just so many people floating about waiting to get in. I’m really hating crowds and busy places now. They set my anxiety off. After a while we were let in. They asked a couple of disabled people to go to the side and we were told we’d go in first. Being sat in a wheel chair has got to have advantages.

When we got in we headed straigt for the mind and body area. Trawling through the yoga section to get there. I wasn’t really paying attention to much of what was in there. I knew we’d go round it later. Getting to the mind and body bit of the show there was a hell of a lot going on. People milling around and looking at the different shops and exhibits. People signing up for readings and going for different treatments and stuff. In advertantly we had stopped just next to Sarah’s stand or cubicle or what ever you want to call it. So we stopped for a bit of a chat. She did end up having to put my name down in here first slot though just because we were spending so much time gassing.

It was great catching up. We talked about how much we’ve both changed over the past 12 months and other things that have been going on. Nothing really psychic or spiritual though. Save that sort of thing for readings. I did put my name down for a reading later in the day and said we would go to the talk she was doing. Just glad my name was down twice in different writing otherwise it would have looked like I was a needy psycho. When we were done chatting it was time to explore the rest of the stalls and exhibits.

We had a bit of a potter/wheel around to see what people were selling and get ideas of what we were going to buy and stuff. Time for a pit stop. Coming out of the loos there was a stand selling magnetic and negative ion jewellery. I’ve been hearing some good things about it and have been using magnetic jewellery for a while so we stopped and had a look.

they got me to see how far back I could stretch my arm. Then the put a bracelet on me and told me to do it again. Low and behold I could stretch further. They then asked if I could stand up And balance on one leg. I said not without faceplanting the floor so they got my sister to do it. So she sold on one leg and was pushed of balance quit easily. They then put a bracelet on her and did it again. This time she didn’t fall over. It was a very good sales patter that they had going I must admit. The issue being I was going to buy one anyway. I wanted to replace the old one I had that I had to cover the back of with clear nail varnish. Still the same it was a good patter anyway. So I bought that and then we continued our journey round.

We decided we were all hungry and thirsty by this point so we said let find something to eat. Only place doing food was the vegan area. So we traveled to unknown territory to get some scran. I decided to go for a vegan falafel pita thing. It was really nice. My mum got some noodles and I can’t remember what my sister got. We sat down and ate and had a bit of a joke. I said I wanted to go round saying stop being antisocial and have a bacon butty. It was only after my sister realised she was carrying a leather handbag round.

after that it was time for my mum to have her reading with Sarah. Which left me and my sister to our own devices. We continued our mooch about and I saw a few things that I wanted. I then said to Katie right I need to find a cash machine. So we popped back to the front. Had a bit of a smoke/vape outside in the sun went back in used the cash machine and continued on to spend some money.

We went back and I got some reiki stones. Something else to play with and then we had a look round some of the yoga area. They had some wonderful things in there. It wasn’t just yoga clothes and equipment. There was someone selling these metal mandalas. They looked really cool. They were saying how they were all anodised and painted or made of different metals and were talking about the differen uses for them. When I asked how much they were I was a bit taken aback.   Some where plate sized so thinking they shouldn’t be that much, the answer came back that it was over £100. So had to show some interest and say I’ll have to have a think about it and come back later. They were cool though.

It was then my go for a reading from Sarah. It was really good. It confirmed a lot of my own suspicions and gave me a fair few things to think about. Not going to go into too much detail as that for me and I don’t want to share it.

After the reading it was time to take mum round the yoga bit and find somewhere to get a drink. Mainly because I was getting dehydrated and the fact I was about 30 minutes late taking my pills.

I then saw a nice lady who was selling bolster cushions for yoga. They were made from left over upholstery material and were a lot sturdier than normal one. I was after a cushion or something to sit on when doing meditation. Mainly to stop me spending so much time on my bed. So said we’d come back for one on our way out. They were a bit too big to be lugging round.

We went to Sarah’s talk on past life regression. It was really interesting. And I learnt a few things from it. I know it will have disappointed a few people that went. They will have been expecting a bit of a free session of it. But they didn’t get one. It was too loud and there was too much going on to successfully go anywhere or get anything from it. In my opinion it was right not to try and take a group of people into a deep meaningful meditation in that environment. And I know that why she didn’t do it, she just talked about a few different techniques and where to go to get training and got to talk about some peoples experiences.

It was then time for a final rush round to pick up any last bits we wanted. I went to a stall to get a chakra cloth wall hanging also saw that they sold drums and rattles. The drums were a bit pricey so I got a rattle. Then went to get the bolster cushion. Then it was time for the trip home.

the rest of the day was spent riding round. Picking up the nephew taking him to a swimming lesson while my sister had a swim and then dropping them off at home. Me and mum continued on to our development group and then Home. So finally got in at about 9:45. So yes a very long and tiring day. But also a great day.

hope that didn’t bore you too much, Love and light.

 

Some things in life are bad, they can really make you mad.

Other things just make you swear and curse
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best…
And…

…always look on the bright side
of life…
(Whistle)

Always look on the light side
of life…
(Whistle)

If life seems jolly rotten
There’s something you’ve forgotten
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you’re feeling in the dumps
Don’t be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle
– that’s the thing.
And…always look on the bright
side of life…
(Whistle)

Come on.

Always look on the right side
of life…
(Whistle)

For life is quite absurd
And death’s the final word
You must always face the curtain
with a bow
Forget about your sin – give the
audience a grin
Enjoy it – it’s your last chance
anyhow.

So always look on the bright side
of death…
(Whistle)

a-Just before you draw your terminal breath…
(Whistle)

Life’s a piece of shit, when you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true
You’ll see its all a show, keep ’em laughin as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you

And…
Always look on the bright side
of life…
(Whistle)

Always look on the right side
of life…

C’mon Brian, cheer up

Always look on the bright side
of life…

Always look on the bright side
of life…

Worse things happen at sea you know.

I mean – what have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing
– you’re going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing.

Always look on the right side
(I mean) of life…

what have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing
– you’re going back to nothing.
What have you lost?

Always (Nothing.) look on the right side of life…

Nothing will come from nothing ya know what they say?
Cheer up ya old bugga c’mon give us a grin!
There ya go, see!

Always look on the right side of life…
(Cheer up ya old bugga c’mon give us a grin! At same time)

There ya go, see!

That songs seems to mean a lot to me at the moment. Especially as we’re always told to be more positive and as the song says look on the bright side of things. I know it’s not always as easy to be positive as people say you should be. It involves a major change in your life style.

Finding what makes you happy is always a good place to start. Giving thanks for your many blessing. Just look at what you have in life. Just look and think. Whether it’s great parents, a best friend, a special someone you love with all your heart, a favourite hobby. All these things are blessings even though they may not feel like it all the time.

Try to reduce the drama that’s going on around you. Take a step back. Tell people to stuff it. They probably won’t like it but it’s time to be selfish. You are the most important person in the world. Just remember that.

You can always help people if you want and there is nothing wrong with that. Just remember don’t give other people everything you have. It may seem like a good idea at the time but its you who’ll feel used up and drained in the end.

Be a fighter, fight for what’s right. Shine the light of your life and shine in bright. Be the love you want to feel. In the immortal words of Momma Ru if you can’t love yourself how in the hell you gonna love someone else.

There are so many songs out there just pick one that talks to you. Listen to the words or read them with the help of google. There will be something in there that resonates with you. It will help you remember the good times and make the bad ones seem meh.

love and light.
