Holistic Feathers

There are times when life seems really wonderful – when we are focused on all the good things that surround us.

“Unfortunately, when times are tough most people spend more time looking at what’s wrong and in the process attract more of what they don’t want. To make it worse, within each of us lives a loud gremlin – a negative little voice in our mind that wants to keep us small, scared and under tight control.

This little voice thrives on scarcity-based thinking, creating feelings of neediness, and keeps our thoughts full of lack and fear.

During times like these, when we tend to focus on the problems going on around us, the gremlin voice is running on overdrive – filling our thoughts with every horrible outcome it can think of. Now if you constantly focus on at what is wrong – that way of thinking becomes a habit, and it gets tougher to change.

The good news is you can take control the gremlin mind, change your way of thinking and begin creating a wonderful life – and it’s really fairly simple.

To shift the little voice from the gremlin scarcity thinking to empowering prosperity thinking, you have to reframe your self talk to the positive. Here are a couple of reframes you can use:

Change – ‘I dont want’ to ‘I want’ or ‘I intend’
Change – ‘I can’t afford’ to ‘I choose’ or ‘I’ve decided’
Change – ‘What if I can’t’ to ‘I if I can’

Universal Law states that like attracts like. Prosperity thinking attracts more of what we want. Self-deprecating language and scarcity thoughts set up negatively charged energy that attracts what we don’t want. Not to mention, the more positive thought and words we use, the more we are able to see solutions and answers to problems and issues.

When our mind is negative, our focus is extremely narrow and we do not see the bigger picture – which always includes the answers.

You can turn your life around and reap the rewards of positive thinking. It is possible to kick the negative thoughts out of your life and attract what you want.

You can do it.

Begin today to put an end to negative thinking.

Start believing in yourself.

You can live the life you want and you too can have a wonderful life.”

.. and every Friday!

Why Red Fridays?

Red is a Great Colour associated with:

* courage
* sacrifice
* bravery
* remembrance

It is one of the most prevalent colours in national flags.

It gives advantage to sporting teams.

* * Is our choice to show support for our Troops every Friday * *

Thank goodness it’s Friday!

For many people the day before the weekend is a Dress Down day in business, a day when we can almost relax a little at the end of a working week.

And a day when wearing Red can be done really easily, with few worries about fitting in, something Red will stand out in the crowd, well until the day when everyone is wearing Red to show their support.

Hello

I would be delighted if any complementary therapists and healers out there would kindly take a few moments out of their busy day to complete my survey …

Therapist & Healers Survey

The survey itself deals with professionalism within the complementary and alternative medicine field, and should only take you between 3 – 5 minutes to complete.

Although this is primarily set up for the UK complementary and alternative medicine field, I am also very interested in respondents from overseas! There is no time limit but I’d like to receive as many responses as possible by end of September 2009.

With very many thanks in advance,

Bright blessings

July and August always sees a flurry of activity on the bookings for Facial Rejuvenation (Natural Face Lift Massage) treatments, as our clientele – male and female, it has to be said! – rush to receive last-minute natural uplifts to look their best during the wedding season.

This year we were asked to recommend gift ideas for readers and friends who had helped enormously with the preparation work.  Our bride was after unusual gift ideas, products which were inexpensive yet which the lucky recipients would enjoy using – and of course, the products had to be completely natural.  Our bride was somewhat biased in that she goes crazy for our Raw Gaia raw chocolate face mask and bath melts ALL the time!

In the end, she plumped for three different types of gift sets to take into account the ages and personal preferences for each lucky reader and helper.

Eye Mask

One of the gift sets was to include a Ripple Joy candle (filled with the uplifting aromas of bergamot, sandalwood and lemon), a Goddess Sleeping lilac & plum silk embroidered eye-mask (perfect for the long flight home after the wedding) and a personalised hand-blended body oil blend (110ml) from the Ripple range of energy essences.

Two gift sets were selected purely on the luscious aroma of the Raw Gaia raw chocolate product range: a Raw Gaia chocolate orange bath-melt and a Raw Gaia raw chocolate face mask jar (designed to last for at least 12 facials), plus personalised hand-blended body oil blends (110ml) from the Ripple range of energy essences.

Last but not least, a third gift set was selected to take into account the lucky lady’s love of pampering: a gift voucher, Raw Gaia chocolate orange bath-melt, Raw Gaia raw chocolate face mask jar and a personalised hand-blended body oil blend (110ml) filled with a specially-chosen Ripple energy essence.

Gifts from the Bride

The bride left it to us to co-ordinate the wrapping of each gift to complement her wedding colour scheme, although she had already chosen 4 stunning black die-cut gift-bags.  We agreed that simplicity was the key, using silver tissue paper tied with teal satin ribbon to echo the colour scheme of the wedding party.

As guests at the wedding, it was wonderful to see the recipients so thrilled with their hand-chosen gifts … something we rarely get to see!

So if you are feeling a little short of ideas for any particular occasion, don’t be shy – get in touch with us and see what we can do to help.

Believe me, you are not alone … I was thinking this morning at how unusually weary I feel at the moment and so took time out to catch up on some online reading.  Surprise, surprise, a lady called Karen Bishop has hit the nail right on the head again!  I thought I would share this excerpt with you because an awful lot of my clients, family and friends are also struggling with similarly low energy levels right now, despite the glorious weather we have been blessed with in the UK in recent days.

Enjoy!

Fine tuning means letting go of all or any energies or purposes within us that we embodied in the past, and  that we will no longer need in a new reality. It is a sort of purification process, as we are now becoming our true and authentic selves at yet another level, and this involves getting to that pure gold nugget of who we really are as individuals. We are not really purifying now, but more fine tuning…extracting our higher level purpose that is no longer related to raising the consciousness of the planet. That time is over.

Some symptoms of adjusting to the new reality, or rather aligning with it and our true selves? Exhaustion and apathy. We are really being re-wired now, and are being encouraged to relax and do the bare minimum, as exerting ourselves will tax too much of our energy reserves. No extending during this time. We need all our energy during this process, for this process. This is why we may also have great hunger during this time. We need the extra fuel. We absolutely are unable to give at this time as well, but are very open to receiving. This is because we need energy coming in to sustain us while we are so very taxed. Pampering ourselves, buying things for ourselves, being selfish, and tending to self care are what may feel good now, and are what is currently needed. But again, we are soon to be out of this stage, as is it shorter the more we have evolved, as there is less density within us to fine-tune.

Insomnia can be present as well while we are tuning up as so much is going on within us, and can also occur because we may feel that things are still very unresolved in so many ways. When I am moving into new energetic territory, I often feel a lot of energy pouring in through my crown chakra, and I have been feeling this recently as well. A general fatigue may continue along with a strong feeling of being lost and confused. We may not know where we are right now, as we have not completely aligned within and without, but we are most assuredly continuing with the process.

Things may not be manifesting well, or coming together at all for many, and we may feel a lack of support. This is because we are not finished being fine tuned and purified to our higher purpose, and we cannot begin to manifest until we are certain what our new roles will be all about, down to the last detail. If we started things new right now, we might have to adjust them further, and this would cause confusion and delays. We need to have a specific mission statement, so to speak…not a general one. We are now in the new reality, and it involves knowing our own specific purpose and contribution. Most all of us have healing ability and intuitive ability. These are givens with advanced souls. Just natural states of being to be used if and when needed. These abilities are no longer needed as a means of service, for instance, as what we will be offering now will involve our gifts and talents, and contributions to a society or whole. What we are needing now, is what our passions have always been about, and what we indeed know the most about, and what comes most easily for us. It is our natural state of who we are.

At the end of September and especially into October, we will be fairly complete. Things will feel magical, as if angel dust has been sprinkled everywhere, there will be a strong sense of grace ever present, and we will feel much gratitude. The energies will be light…not intense, and very freeing and easy. This is how things look at present for the future, but we have found very intensely of late, that there is always free will, and things can radically change, so please don’t hold me to this timeline or outcome!

Until this process is complete, we will experience enough influx financially, that our needs will be met and we will be taken care of. Almost with a mind of its own, money will arrive somehow. Because our old roles are now over, if we attempt to continue on with them (and at times we may need to), we can feel as though we have short-circuited,  become discombobulated, very bored with them, and most times, we can feel almost like we are prostituting ourselves. There may be a small influx with our old work for awhile, as this may provide the needed financial income until we are completely ready for the new to manifest, but it is only temporary.
