When Its Just Not Happening, Look For The Reason Why
Posted on 27 April, 2019 at 15:14 |
![]() |
Is there something that is just not happening in your life
that you want so badly? My experience of life is that there is always a good
reason why things are not happening as you would wish. My belief is that life,
the universe, God or whatever you may call the creative force behind our
reality has always got our best interests at heart,
even when it involves us learning hard or painful lessons. The saying 'every
cloud has a silver lining' has been proven to be true over and over again, even
with deeply painful experiences. If you are being held in job, relationship or situation that you would rather not be in, find out what there is to learn about yourself
or what deeper wisdom could be trying to reveal itself. We often think that 'if
I could just be in a different job, relationship or situation, I would be much
happier'. However the problems you perceive will surely follow you wherever
you go because they are caused from
within. We attract the reality that matches our own beliefs; so if you believe
that people are unkind, that is what you will experience. If you believe
that you are unlovable, you are unlikely to experience true, abiding love in
your life. If you believe that true happiness is unachievable, guess what..? Beliefs are laid down very early in life, before the age of
7. They are then added to and modified by repetition and the
creation of habits. They can be positive beliefs, such as 'I can achieve anything I put my mind to'
or limiting beliefs such as 'I can never get anything right' or
'I am unlovable'. Either way, you will attract what you believe in, because
that is how your brain is wired. The Reticular Activating
System or RAS as it is also known is the part of your brain that takes what you
focus on most (i.e. what you have told it is important to you) and creates a
filter for it. So that out of the trillions of pieces of information that it
filters every day, it only presents to your conscious mind the bits important
to you. Or in other words, in an infinite field of possibilities, you will only
get what you expect to get. You may be aware of some of the self-sabotaging
beliefs you hold , but some you may not
be aware of because they are buried deep in your subconscious mind. The best
indicator is to look at where your life flows well and the areas where it does
not flow well. The latter is a strong indicator that there are limiting beliefs
operating. It is important at this point to note that you
can change that subconscious programming. The Journey™ method
developed by Brandon Bays is one very effective way of getting to the core life
experience that set the limiting beliefs in play and realising that they are
outdated and no longer serve you well. Through conscious intervention with the
subconscious mind, you can then access the deeper, more empowering truth about
your own inner potential and this becomes the new operating system for the RAS.
So if you are willing to do the internal personal
development work to discover what is truly holding you back the silver lining is
that you discover a deeper, richer, more empowering version of yourself which
in turn will enrich your life experiences from that point. Sometimes it seems that life throws us a curve ball, just
when we were enjoying our current life situation. It may be difficult for a
while to see the justice or the benefit in what may appear a cruel or
unnecessary turn of events. We may struggle to let go of the version of reality
that we had so invested in, to see the benefits of what it is being replaced
with. I think it is useful to look to the natural world in these situations and
understand that nature creates, forms, brings to fruition many beautiful states
of reality. Then in the natural course of the cycle, it breaks down, destroys,
lays fallow and then starts the whole creation process again. We are also
organic creatures, part of the energy flow of creation and as much a part of
this creative cycle as the natural world. I see that when one form of reality
has run its course or served its purpose, a higher consciousness then steps in
to break that down or remove it from us, so that a new opportunity for growth
and nurturing can arise. I have observed this with both natural and personal
disasters; it often brings out the kindness in people's natures, motivates new
ventures for the greater good of the self or humanity and highlights what needs to change
in order to bring about a better world. It may be difficult to see the benefit in for example losing
a life partner, parent or family member, we may feel angry or devastated about
this loss and it is important to honour these feelings and take the time to
grieve. In this way, we allow our natural emotions to flow through us and be
released. When we do not allow our emotions to be expressed; if we avoid them
or distract ourselves, they interrupt the natural biochemistry of the body,
causing blockages at a cellular level which can eventually result in
dysfunction of the body, illness or disease. The natural programming of the
body is to maintain homeostasis or balance in all of its functions at a
physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. The only thing that prevents
this balance is when we hold onto versions of our story from the past, or
future versions of our story that we would like to materialise. Non acceptance
of 'what is' is like having an argument with reality. it keeps us in resistance
and as the saying goes: 'what we resist, will persist'! (Carl Jung). It's the
same principle as 'what you focus on the most is what you attract more of'. So
take the time to honour and grieve for your loved ones, then lovingly make the
decision when it feels right for you, to move on with your life. Not moving on
is like a form of self-abuse, to refuse to look for happiness in your life
points to deeply self-sabotaging emotional drivers that are keeping you trapped
in this state - something to reflect on if this applies to you. So to return to my original point that I believe there is a purpose
for the greater good in everything that either happens or doesn't happen; it
may take some time maybe even years for that greater purpose to become
apparent. However if you are willing to suspend judgement and focus on what's
good in your life, you will find true peace of mind and happiness in each
moment. Go well, may you find the peace and happiness in your life that you truly deserve. References 1.

One Person's Journey To Healing
Posted on 30 May, 2016 at 18:25 |
![]() |
The following is a description by one of my Journey clients, of her experience of healing through Journey work. It should be stressed that everyone experiences Journey work differently because of the different and unique ways our minds process information, but this is a wonderful account of one person's Journey to healing. The Journey - My Journey Three years ago I developed post traumatic
stress (PTSD) after a relatively minor scalding accident on a flight from
business in Moscow. Boiling coffee was spilled all over my right thigh... I was
not given any first aid and until landing three hours later, was treating
myself with ice in the aircraft toilet... When the blisters started developing
and I looked at myself in the mirror seeing sheer horror in my eyes, I knew I
was in trouble... In my own mind I was referring to another scalding accident
when I was three. That accident left me fighting for life for weeks. This was
followed by a year of skin graft operations to save me from disability.
Consequently 25% of my body is severely scarred, forever... This, small by comparison wound was slow to
heal, like all scalds. It was six weeks before the dressings came off. But that
wasn't the real issue. Without a warning, a powerful and overwhelming
"feeling" like nothing ever before started flooding my consciousness, so
powerful that I could only describe it as a tsunami of an unknown emotion. Out
of the blue, it would grab me by the throat and leave me shocked and in tears.
I worked then in a demanding role... Normally I loved my job but after the
flight accident I started feeling under enormous strain and under toxic
stress... Three months after the accident on the flight I could no longer
pretend all was well. I could not continue working and went off sick with
PTSD... Just before I broke down, I spoke to my Mum. She
told me that after the childhood accident I was not admitted to a hospital...
She told me how I was cared for at home, with drips and transfusions directly
from my parents... How I was on and off unconscious for six weeks... How Mum
was afraid to wake up for fear of finding me dead in the morning... Well, I
suppose it was the harsh reality of the 1957 communist Poland - they were not
to waste resources and medicines on a child that was to die, were they? The trouble (or blessing?) was that I did not
know that I wasn't admitted to hospital, uncared for, rejected by the
professionals and left for dead. I was too young to remember and as my parents saw their kid recovering well, developing OK
and doing alright in school and life in general, why would they want to
remind me of the neglect?... Consequently, I didn't know until I was 58 years
old, when my Mum told me after my flight accident. When Mum told her story, I
don't know why, but it felt like the ground slipped from under my feet... things
started troubling me then even more and finally I just couldn't carry on as
normal. The truth was, the child-me inside my
subconscious knew about the neglect, she was angry with the people who left her
for dead, she was even troubled by it... Except that the adult-me didn't have a
conscious memory of it all and the child-me couldn't tell the adult the truth. First I thought I just needed "a
rest". So I did rest... Well, at least I tried. But I could not sleep and
was forever anxious and afraid of something... Everything really! I had fear
stuck firmly in my belly even though I did not know what I was afraid of. As
days went by, I knew I needed to do something to get better as by then I
realised that I must be experiencing a delayed post traumatic stress related
not to the minor scald on the flight but the major scalding in my early
childhood. The two scalding accidents somehow synergised in my subconscious and
the flight accident triggered something... As if it said to me: "enough is
enough, you can no longer pretend that THAT trauma is not bothering you again".
I needed healing. So I started searching for help... Talked to the
doctors, engaged in counselling, got some medication. My GP referred me to a
psychiatrist and she understood I would not recover unless I could sleep; the antidepressants she prescribed for
sleep prepared the ground for the "major works"... Then Sandra stepped in. She supported me
through the PTSD struggle as a friend but she could clearly see that whatever I
was doing, wasn't working. Sandra then suggested I try The Journey, a
visualisation therapy which she is trained in. Sandra is a friend, but I knew
her for years in her previous scientific role in GlaxoSmithKline and trusted
her as a professional, in her changed profession as a health and well being therapist. I didn't know anything about
the therapy but would try anything to get out of the hell I was trapped in... So I read about The Journey. I always believed
in the power of mind so the theory sounded very encouraging to me. Then Sandra
took me on it... The Journey session took only three hours but it was a very
powerful healing process. Three hours of challenging myself in my own mind in,
what I can only describe as visions or dreams. Jumping through imaginary fires,
dropping down imaginary vertical tunnels, jumping off cliffs and over furious
sea waves, onto a beach, resting by the fire? I now think nothing of such
adventures!... That's when the real work began. There, by the
fire on a beach the adult-me met the child-me, the child-me met the hospital
doctor, the one who left her for dead... The three year old child-me punched
him, kicked him to the ground, asked him to get up and go back into the
darkness, where he belongs... It was quite comical actually!... And all that
within the safety of my own mind. I met Mum and Dad by the fire too, and all
the people that matter. Then the child-me and the adult-me gave each other a
hug.; finally the child-me felt safe with the adult-me... But before the end of
the session I found a big pot full of black thick goo... Sandra wanted me to
wash it away or maybe suck it out with vacuum... I couldn't, it was too thick.
I couldn't pour it, or take it out with my hands, wash it or suck it out... It wasn't the end though. For two weeks after
the session my head was still "on fire". A few days after the therapy
my silver rings turned black! I knew from my brother, who is a jeweller that
some people's skin polishes silver and others tarnish it. Mine always polished my silver.
He loved me wearing his jewellery because my skin made it shine... Until now!
Some powerful physical processes must have gone on in my body to release
substances through my skin to blacken the silver. It made me realise that the
"feelings of trauma" must have been stuck in my cells' memory all
those years and were only released following The Journey. Finally, after two weeks I started feeling
better. I still went through a number of fights in my mind to sleigh lots of
"dragons, monsters and scary anacondas" that represented my fears and
phobias... I used Sandra's visualisation technique on myself, just as Sandra
did during the initial Journey... In the end I forgave the doctor and let him
rest in peace. I forgave my Mum and Dad too, that they did not protect me from
the horror I went through, even though I never thought I had anything to
forgive them for - they did so much for me! Still, Sandra asked me to check and once I did, I knew it was the right thing to do. Then the black goo... It was there for two
weeks, too, until I finally managed to "vaporise" it with an
imaginary laser. No more legacy of trauma... No more fear... No more anger or
anxiety. I know, it all sounds bizarre but it was a real
process. Real to me and that's all that matters. I cannot thank Sandra enough, a skilled and empathetic professional for giving me freedom from the effects of deeply seated trauma. Now I don't only feel free - I am free! Thank
you Sandra ❤️ I would encourage anyone who'd like to resolve some troublesome emotional or mental issues in their life to try The Journey, a visualisation therapy. It has scientific credentials and more and more psychotherapists practice it. I know that because I've recently needed psychotherapy again, when, after a corrective surgery on my old scars, I developed some "mushy" feelings and "wobbly knees" again... The hospital psychotherapist was very interested to hear about my experience of visualisation; he knows of it and recognises its positive effects. Still, without any bias I can say with my hand on heart that The Journey healed me, whilst counselling, medication or therapy just helped. |

Time.. all have the same amount of hours in the day, yet some of us seem to have more free time available than others! How much of this is self-inflicted and how much is unavoidable? I always seem to be in a hurry, no matter how much free time was originally available; so I ask myself is this a belief I have that there is never enough time, so that sub-consciously I fritter away any extra time I have to ensure that my belief always holds true! Beliefs are very powerful. They are formed when we have a strong emotional response to an event and are not able to healthily express these feelings. As a result we formulate new 'rules' for ourselves to keep us 'safe' in future, and these sit in our sub-conscious, driving our behaviour in ways that may not be truly supportive to our best interests. Its like having a virus in our computer programming, silently sabotaging our ability to be truly happy and successful. The good news is that Journey work is really effective at pin-pointing the life experience that caused the unsupportive behaviours and clearing them out, so that the deepest truth and truly supportive beliefs can now become our new operating system! If you know that there are unhealthy behaviours holding you back from true happiness and success, contact me for a chat to see if Journey work is right for you. Call: 07711 382117 |
Science, emotions and cell renewal
Posted on 3 September, 2013 at 12:49 |

Why and how Journey work can help you to achieve your full potential and find true happiness! Taken from www.thejourney.com: Journey work – Scientific Basis The Journey is a
globally recognized and critically acclaimed healing and transformational
process to awaken you to your true potential. To date, hundreds of thousands of
people worldwide have experienced this simple, yet powerful step-by-step
process overcoming a wide variety of challenges from physical ailments to emotional trauma or shut down, relationship
problems and career performance issues. Brandon Bays
(the founder of the Journey process) recognized that her direct experience of
healing has taken cellular science one step further by expounding upon the work
of famed endocrinologist Dr. Deepak Chopra and renowned cellular biologist Dr.
Candace Pert. Dr. Deepak
Chopra who made a life study of successful survivors of illness found they had
two things in common: 1. They
were able to access something beyond the mind to stimulate healing; Chopra
calls this ‘Infinite Intelligence’. 2. They
were able to let go of memories stored at a cellular level. Cells in
the body regenerate at different speeds. In the eye they take only 48 hours,
whereas cells in the liver take 6 weeks to regenerate. The question is: what
stops these cells from regenerating healthily? Dr. Chopra postulated that
memories can be stored in the cells and can cause degenerative disease patterns
to be passed on, preventing healthy new cell replication. Dr.
Candace Pert went further in her book 'Molecules of Emotion' which describes
her Nobel Prize nominated research on “how emotions affect our bodies at the
cellular level”. If trauma and negative emotions are not resolved, they become
physically stored as a cellular memory, preventing those cells involved from
playing their part in the constant chemical communication taking place within
the body. In other
words, when emotions are suppressed, a specific biochemistry is released into
the blood stream and blocks certain cell receptors, which are then isolated and
cannot communicate with any other cells in the body. If these cells remain
blocked over time and if disease happens, it's likely to happen in the part of
the body where the cells are blocked. These
memories not only 'switch off' these cells, but they can lead to emotional and
physical disease years after the events originally occurred. Journey processes
can enable one to let go of these memories, 'switching on' your cells, and
enabling them to once again regenerate perfectly. Further reading and

Are You Holding Onto Your Pain?
Posted on 21 August, 2013 at 10:46 |

A contentious subject! If you ask someone why they chose to hold onto their pain, they can get very annoyed because it is easy to believe that we will always carry our past with us. I have learned (and experienced) that this is absolutely not the case. We have absolute freedom to chose to let go of what is past and refuse to allow it to define who we are now, or to drag past anger or hurt around with us every day. Through a Journey process you experience at the deepest level whatever pain you have been holding onto; and if you are serious about wishing to be free of it and live a truly happy life, the process very gracefully leads you to finally let go of all the anger, hurt or fear so that you feel clear and much more peaceful. I have witnessed first hand with many clients the sense of relief, happiness and freedom that is experienced once they have finally let go of an issue that they may have been dragging around with them for many, many years. It is always an honour to help someone to release themselves from whatever has been holding them back from experiencing true happiness. Having experienced it for myself through many personal journey processes, I love to pass on this gift of freedom to other people! |

First post: Cell memories and emotions affecting health

Really excited about finally getting my website up and running. I see it as a reflection of my values and offerings and would value any feedback you may have :) It is still work in progress to some extent, so do check back to see what changes I've made! Meantime, here's some food for thought: Dr. Deepak Chopra who made a life study of successful survivors of life threatening illness found they had two things in common: 1. They were able to access something beyond the mind to stimulate healing; Chopra calls this ‘Infinite Intelligence’. 2. They were able to let go of memories stored at a cellular level. Cells in the body regenerate at different speeds. In the eye they take only 48 hours, whereas cells in the liver take 6 weeks to regenerate. The question is: what stops these cells from regenerating healthily? Dr. Chopra postulated that memories can be stored in the cells and can cause degenerative disease patterns to be passed on, preventing healthy new cell replication. Dr. Candace Pert went further in her book 'Molecules of Emotion' which describes her Nobel Prize nominated research on “how emotions affect our bodies at the cellular level”. She showed that if trauma and negative emotions are not resolved, they become physically stored as a cellular memory, preventing the cells involved from playing their part in the constant chemical communication taking place within the body. In other words, when emotions are suppressed, a specific biochemistry is released into the blood stream and blocks certain cell receptors, which are then isolated and cannot communicate with any other cells in the body. If these cells remain blocked over time and if disease happens, it's likely to manifest in the part of the body where the cells are blocked. These memories not only 'switch off' these cells, but they can lead to emotional and physical disease years after the events originally occurred. The Journey process is a powerful technique that allows one to access these memories and clear out the emotional trauma so that forgiveness can be given and the issue let go of. This causes your cells to 'switch back on', and enables them to once again regenerate perfectly. |
