Psycademy Spritual Development Events

For those closest to me, you will already know that I have always been interested in spiritual matters. Having lost a mum when I was very young, who was very interested in such things, I have long held an interest in having my cards read or my 'fortune' told.

Last year, my health was making life difficult, and having started practising the work that I now preach, I found myself drawn to Psycademy, run by a fabulous lady called Lisa Turner! Having met her and been inspired by her, I instantly knew that I needed to know more about this side of life.

For the past 10 years, since my divorce, I have been 'sorting' myself out, looking for something and having addressed much of the mental turmoil, and some of the emotional stuff from that time, my physical and spiritual wellbeing needing addressing. ( I am a Libran, and having balance in our lives is something we constantly strive for!)

I had a 'Breakthrough' session with Lisa in January regarding weight, poor health and sudden energy losses that just left me exhausted in front of the tele at a weekend. This 'Breakthrough' session turned out to be a real turning point for me - I signed up for her Spiritual and Psychic practitioner course and I have not looked back!!

For those of you who are pooh poohing all this as nonsense, I completely understand, I too would have said the same, even a few years ago, however, there are some really valuable practices, that we as human beings seem to have lost in our evolutionary journey.

One of the biggest benefits I have picked up (and let me tell you there are many), I have found that meditating on a regular basis has added a sense of calm to my life, that I honestly have not experienced before. Taking time out to focus on you, the real you, the internal you, is one of the best habits you can learn. Even if it is just for 5 minutes a day, this small amount of time where you focus on say your breathing, an image, or just daydream and allowing your mind to just switch off for a few minutes, is incredibly powerful.

The one thing that clearly drew me to Lisa is her practical and pragmatic approach to spiritual way of being - she uses her previous life as a technical engineer to explain how it works, her no- nonsense approach weaves in key elements of NLP (responsiblity, cause and effect & perception is projection) to demonstrate how we create much of what we experience.

So when Lisa said she was going to run development evenings to build upon what we already knew, plus extras - I did not hesitate. After one of these evenings, I always feel on a bit of a high and this week was no different! I have had a busy few weeks, as you can see from the earlier entries to my blog, and I was feeling quite weary - however, after being at this event - I became fully awake and alert! Woohoo!!

I would highly recommend some time with Lisa if this is something you are interested in!

Wound up and ready to go!!

As you may have by now gathered, I have recently had my plaster removed - Woohoo!!

How fantastic is that? I am now free to go out and get in my car and drive!

And yet, my time spent at home has been quite an interesting one!

I only moved into my current home last October, and even before the contracts were signed, I already knew that my longer term plans meant I would not be there for very long, just until youngest daughter has finished her schooling, so all being well, within the next couple of years.

It made me think about how many times I have moved over the years. Always for some seemingly valid reason - a bigger home, an older place, a place in the country, one in the town etc etc. And actually when I really thought about it, underpining all these moves is a restlessness that I was, until recently, completely unaware of - I was unhappy where I was and was always striving to the future, where everything would be alright.

Wow! I knew that I have always had great plans for the future, where I was going, what I wanted and how I was going to do it (roughly), what I hadn't realised though was I was not living in the 'now'. I was not appreciating what I had at this very moment, as what I had planned was always better! And of course until it happens it is not real, is it?

Of course, living 'now', is much easier said than done, when you have spent a lifetime (or so it feels) looking to the future, but by just bringing your awareness onto what we are doing now....right now, apparantly is a really good start!

What if you don't like where you are? Then at least you are now more aware of what 'it' is doing to you, and if the 'pain' is enough, guess what? You will do something! And if it is just uncomfortable, then you are not ready - your choice, your responsibility.

For me, moving was a way to feel like I was progressing, moving towards to the future I believed would be happier and yet, what I was doing was ignoring the fact I was unhappy.

So watch out! If you are constantly changing jobs, relationships or homes like me, you maybe avoiding something! Call us to arrange a one:one session to see what might be your issue!

Relish Book - Our Approach to Lifes Lessons

Late last year Wendy and I decided we wanted to write a book about the work that we do, and as I am the "creator" and Wendy is the "completer/finisher" we decided I would write it, and she would then check i had included everything, that the grammar was correct etc. We found a publisher who was interested in what we were doing and all that had to happen was for me to start writing......mmmm... there was the rub! I had to make time for it. Well as great believers in the universe at work, I broke my foot and that presented me with an ideal opportunity to get on and write it......and I have!

The book is all about self development.

The majority of people who come along to see us have some sort of issue that has got to a point where they really WANT to change. Invariably the problem they believe they have, is never the real problem, it is just a symptom of the real problem, and the real problem usually turns out to be something to do with the relationship they have with themselves.

Part of our work is recognizing this and helping them to make the changes they need that make a difference. Invariably, any ‘problems’ we are experiencing, any ‘pain’ or any ‘negative emotions’ (all in inverted commas, as these words mean different things to different people) are just a message from our unconscious that we need to make some sort of change – it is just that we are not tuned into it or don't know what to do about it.

Our book, will help peopole do just that – raise awareness of what needs to be addressed, understand what choices we have and then look to take responsibility to make the changes we need to.

In just under 3 weeks, the first draft is in place and I have just over one more week to go through it and make sure that it is ok so that Wendy can do her bit! How fab is that!

I would prefer of course, not to break a limb everytime something big needs to be done, and so part of taking responsibility, I am going to be very good at setting at least a couple of days a month aside to get on and do stuff that will move the business forward!
