You Can Heal Your Body Too

Yesterday I was on YouTube looking at some videos by Brad Yates. In one particular video Brad was talking about the possibility of emotional issues manifesting as physical issues. I found this idea very interesting as I had been previously searching for a reason for the sudden yet sporadic back pain I began suffering from a few days earlier.

The first odd thing about my back pain was...it started suddenly for no apparent reason and was so intense that at times I could not bend at all. The second odd thing was that the pain would last for a couple of hours and then it would completely disappear, only to reappear later, again for no apparent reason.

So after watching Brad’s video I started to wonder if it was possible that an emotional issue was causing this physical pain. My pondering this notion lead me back to a book that I have found very useful for many years. It’s by Louise Hay and its called Heal Your Body. In this book Louise offers insights into the emotional causes for hundreds of physical ailments.

After looking up “lower back pain” in Louise’s book, she suggests that the cause could be a fear of not having enough money and a lack of financial support. This really hit home for me because I had been stressing about my lack of money for a few days.

OK so now I had a cause for my back pain!

In Louise’s book she also gives affirmations to counteract the cause. However I did not feel that reciting affirmations would be the fastest way to get over my back pain.

But then I had a brain wave!

I had already had success using EFT (emotional freedom technique), so I thought why not check through Brad Yates videos to see if he had one to address fear of not having enough money. Thankfully there was such a video, so I spent 10 minutes following the tapping sequence and stating the affirmations as demonstrated by Brad Yates.

When I finished the video I felt a little better but my back still hurt a little, so I went through the process again and then went straight to bed. The next morning I woke to find my back pain completely gone. I went to work and lifted heavy items and did all of the bending that I could not do the previous day and I was completely pain free.
This is a wonderful realization; I can literally heal my body by simply looking up the cause for my physical pain and then using EFT to counteract it. This means that I never have to suffer from physical pain.

How cool is that!!!

Also please visit Brad Yates channel on YouTube here http://www.youtube.com/eftwizard. And if you have not already done so, be sure to grab yourself a copy of Louise Hays Heal Your Body.

I am sure that you will have as much success as I have if you are willing to open your mind to something different and be willing to look inwards at the issues that you have been dealing with in your life.

Receiving Messages from Angels – Pro and Cons

I realize that the title of this post may seem a little contradictory especially as I have recently been waxing lyrical about the joys of receiving messages from our non physical friends. But due to the experience I had on Saturday I have to say that there is one downside to being open to higher guidance.

Saturday afternoon I went to the supermarket, on my way home I decided to make one more stop at another shop. Whilst approaching a set of traffic lights close to home I suddenly and a strong thought. And that thought was to take a different route. At that particular moment I had the choice of two routes to my destination. Both routes are about the same distance and would have taken about the same length of time. So when I had the thought my first response was it would be the same distance if I go that way.

A few moments later I had the same thought again but it seemed more pressing this time. So I turned around and looked back down the road to see if I could switch lanes so that I could take the other route. However there were a lot of cars coming and just as a break in the traffic occurred the traffic lights I was at changed and drivers behind me began blowing their horns.

Obviously not wanting to block the traffic I continued on the route I had originally chosen, again thinking it would not make much difference. As I am sure you can imagine I soon regretted that decision. About six minutes later when stopped at a roundabout a car ran in the back of me and dented the back of my car.

Now, there are or course two ways you could look at the situation. You could say that it was just a coincidence or fate if you like, and a few weeks ago I would have been in two minds myself. But as I have been having some wonderful experiences of late and due to the fact that I did in fact have a very strong feeling to change my route I have to say that I am going with the conclusion that I was being guided.

This brings me to the “cons” of receiving such guidance. It is only of use if you act upon it. Much like the law of attraction; if we want to create certain situations or events in our life we have to focus on what we want and then be open to the ‘nudges’ we get from the universe. On Saturday I was given a ‘nudge’ from the angels but I ignored it and paid the price. That said I am new to this and I have a lot to understand and learn.

My first lesson was to not dismiss these messages even when they are worded in a different way to what I was used to. Until now the messages I received were worded in way that sounded like someone talking to me, i.e. “you should go in this direction” or “you do not have the right shoes”. In this particular situation the message was worded as though I was talking to myself, i.e. “I should go a different route”. So because of this I doubted the origin of the message, it sounded like my own thoughts.

I wondered what to do about this situation and I remembered something I read in Doreen Virtues book, The Angel Therapy Handbook, where she said if we are having problems clearly receiving messages from our angels we can ask them to make their messages clearer so that there will be no doubt in our minds when we receive them. So I took advantage of a nice warm morning to sit in the garden and have a chat with Archangel’s Michael, Uriel and Gabriel and asked them to send me their messages in a way that I can understand and clearly interpret.

I am happy with the conversation that I had and I am looking forward to my next encounter with these most powerful and beautiful beings, and I will of course write about these experiences here on this blog.

Meeting My Guardian Angels

It has long since been my desire to meet see hear or feel my guardian angels. I have read many books on the subject but by far the most helpful have been “Messages from Your Angels” and “The Angel Therapy Handbook” by Doreen Virtue and “Ask Your Guides” by Sonia Choquette. In these books I have discovered techniques which have bought me closer to discovering who my guardian angels are and hearing them clearly.

This is how it happened…

Today Monday 14 March 2011 I was sat at my computer listening to Doreen Virtues Weekly Oracle Card Reading on YouTube and like so many other times when on YouTube I soon noticed the list of related videos in the side bar. One that caught my particular attention was the “Meet Your Guardian Angels” video. After listening to the weekly card reading I clicked on this video and listened intently. I will be honest I was not expecting to hear or feel anything in particular as I was beginning to think that I was never going to be able to consciously connect with angels.

But I relaxed (as much as is possible for me :-)) and allowed Doreen to guide me through the meditation. A point came when Doreen suggested that the first names that came into my head are those of my angels. The first name I heard was whispered rather softly, it was Sarah, but like so many other times I quickly dismissed it as my own mind chattering. Next I heard then name Uriel very loudly. It was then that Doreen mentioned that one of our guardian angels tends to be very low key, quiet and sometimes not easily heard but the other will be much louder and stronger.

That statement caught my particular attention as that was exactly how it happened. Doreen then stated a prayer asking the angels to make themselves known to us in such a way that there would be no doubt in our minds that what we hear is really coming from the angels and not our imagination. Again I felt very strongly about the prayer as that was something I have been wrestling with. After this the meditation ended and I made another silent plea to make any contact between myself and the angels loud and crystal clear.

The next thing that happened was I ‘suddenly’ had a thought to go to the “Messages from Your Angels” app on my phone. I opened the app and chose a three card spread entitled Looking Ahead. I guess by now you can probably guess what happened next. That’s right; the first card I drew was the Archangel Uriel card. However, what I felt when I drew that card was much more important. I was moved to tears; I cried and laughed at the same time, I felt such a sense of relief. It was like a burden had been lifted from me. I also got a sense that Uriel was joyous and celebrating that fact that I had finally not only heard him, but believed I had heard him. We were both celebrating, what a wonderful moment it was.

So what next you might ask, well I think I will be spending the next few days learning as much as I can about Uriel and also spending quite time learning how to sense and feel him so that I can become totally familiar with him and know without a doubt when I am in direct contact with him. By the way I use the word ‘him’ loosely, obviously angels are spirit beings but I do get a sense that Uriel’s energy feels more masculine than feminine.

I am so looking forward to the days ahead.

If you have been wishing to discover who your guardian angels are, I highly recommend Doreen Virtues books as well as her videos on YouTube and podcasts at HayHouse, and I will be sure to keep you updated on how this new and wonderful relationship is blossoming.

Namaste

Validation

Validation is a pretty big word; and although I have heard it used often and I understand the general definition, I did not understand its significance to me personally until recently. Those of you who read this blog regularly will know that I recently went through a Traumatic Family Drama and it is out of this drama that I now truly understand the importance of validation.

I lived my whole life with the aim of attaining one thing; my families’ approval and love. Everything I did, everything I said, every decision and every action was taken with the aim of getting my family to show their love for me or praise me. Some of the negative things I did were simply to get their attention as that was sometimes a good substitute for the love I thought I was missing.

I tried to be smarter, prettier, slimmer, better than everyone else; especially my sister who I thought was getting all of the love that I should have been receiving. I felt inferior to her in every way and I believed that if I could just try harder they would love me as much as they did her. It took 40 years to pass and a major trauma to occur for me to realize a few things about myself and family life…


1. I was not the only one feeling unloved
2. Parents cannot give a child something they do not have
3. Love can be expressed in many different ways
4. Life is not like a movie or story book
5. Parents make mistakes too
6. It is never too late to learn how to love
7. And most importantly; the only validation one needs is from one’s self

The mistake I made throughout my life was to believe that if I could just get the validation I desired from my family everything would miraculously be OK. I thought all of my problems would be over and I could live my fairy tale life just like the ones I saw on TV and in books. Little did I know; I was searching for validation from the wrong people.

Through the teachings of the Law of Attraction I now understand that everything I want is an inside job. There is nothing that I need to look outside of myself to gain. Not love, not joy nor health or wealth or validation. It is amazingly freeing to know this. I am now free to be who I want to be and I do not need anyone’s permission or approval to do so. Can you imagine how this feels? Can you understand the freedom in this? Are you free or are you seeking validation and approval from others?

These are important question to ask oneself, I know that they are not easy questions and the answers may not be to your liking, but I can assure you one thing. If you can let go of the need to please others you will be opening yourself up to a level of existence that you never thought possible. I can tell you from experience that I have never felt anything better than knowing that I can make a decision about my own life and it does not matter what anyone else thinks about that decision.

It is the best feeling ever!

I know that right now as you read this you may be thinking, ‘she’s just selfish’, or ‘I cannot just start doing as I like, I have a family and they rely on me’. To this I will say two things…

1. It’s actually OK to be selfish
2. Validating yourself does not mean running wild through life

Plus; in the words of Dr Phil, how is what you’re doing now working for you?

Are you happy and fulfilled?
Not likely or you would not be so absorbed in the words on this page.

Do you live your life with the intention of making yourself happy?
Again, not likely

Most of us don’t because we are taught that to make ourselves happy or to please ourselves is selfish. We are taught (especially women) to believe that we must make everyone else happy and then we will be fulfilled, but what they did not teach us is that once we make everyone happy and they grow up or move on with their lives totally balanced and joyous, we are then left alone with nothing.

But when we learn to validate ourselves and put ourselves first, to believe in ourselves and to understand our own importance and value, everyone around us naturally become happier.

Look at it this way; if a mother is upset and fussy don’t her children behave the same way? The same applies whether you are a parent or not, when you free yourself of the need to gain the approval of others you become happier, when you become happier, that energy transfers itself to those around you and you will also attract happier people into your life.

Isn’t that a way of living worth pursuing?

A Time for Healing

It’s hard to believe that just a few short weeks ago I was totally consumed with anger, pain and resentment. My mother accused me of doing something so heinous that it is almost impossible to understand how she could even begin to think me capable of such a thing. Initially I was in total shock, this was followed by disgust and a level of anger so deep that I was terrified I would never be able to release it.

If there was such a thing as hell I would say I made the place my home for a while. I can honestly say those few weeks were by far the worst of my short life.

However; I have been a student of the law of attraction long enough to know and understand that I single handedly created that situation, and after much deliberation I now know How I Created Such Devastation in My Life.

Many people see the law of attraction as blaming oneself but that is not the purpose. Living the law of attraction means taking responsibility for your life instead of just bumbling through letting shit happen to you.

When you understand, know and believe that you are the creator of your own life, you are given a power and a freedom that makes it possible to have, be and do whatever you want. In the case of the situation with my mother, by understanding how I created it I can release it and heal myself much faster. If I did not have this knowledge I would remain living in (hell) probably for the rest of my life. There is no one to blame here, but there is much to learn.

For instance, I now understand that when one asks a question of the universe, God, the Angels, or whoever you consider your creator, one must understand that the answer may not be a pleasing one. That was the case with the question that I have been asking my whole life. I received the answer in the form of an accusation and no, it certainly was not a pleasing reply. But the fact remains that a 40 year old question was answered and I am now in a position to change my entire life because I no longer live with that question blocking me from becoming who I was meant to be and remembering who I really am and that is a magnificent creative child of God.

I have also learnt (all be it the hard way) that I do not need the validation of my parents to be somebody in the world. I spent a great deal of time trying to get their affection, attention and love. I created all manor or bad situations just so that they would notice me and for what? So that I would feel loved. How sad is that?

Thankfully, that time is over! With the help of a wonderful mentor and friend by the name of Linda Thomas over at www.racevibes101.com I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now is the time for healing; now is the time to pick myself up and begin creating my life the way I truly want it to be.

The process has already begun; I have attracted a wonderful, loving, affectionate man into my life. This is something that would have been virtually impossible a few months ago. I was too busy looking on the outside for what I wanted. Everything we want to manifest in our lives can be done by simply looking within. In the time since (the accusation) I have spent a lot of time looking at myself and I finally made a few important decisions. The most important of which was the decision to love myself and know that me loving myself is enough. I do not NEED the love of others to be OK in the world.

Yes it is wonderful to have this great guy in my life but I realize that it is not his responsibility to make me happy, to make me feel loved or to make me believe that I am a valuable human being. No one can do that for me, I must do it for myself and that is what I am doing. And because I made that decision this man appeared virtually out of nowhere, and I love every moment that I am with him. But if he were to disappear out of my life he would not be taking love away from me because I already love myself.

And that my friend is the ultimate achievement!

When we love ourselves we are always enough and we can rest assured that we can create more and more wonderful relationships.

Healing one’s self of anger, pain, guilt or any other negative emotion is essential for a happy life, and loving oneself is the ultimate love. Yes we can love a man/woman, love our children, love our family, friends and God, but at the end of the day if we do not love ourselves we cannot truly love any other.


Peace and Love to All
