I want to remind you of a beautiful shamanic journey I had last year to meet Gaia. This is a summary, the full transcript is available here on my 31st October 2024 blog: blog

Gaia: ‘The initial thinking behind the resonators came from fear, from the desire to avoid harm. When you pray to God, do you simply ask to be kept safe?

Me: ‘No, I pray every day for love, wisdom, guidance and support’.

Gaia: ‘So when you make your resonators and connect to me, why do you just ask for protection?

Your scientists are starting to discover that gut microbiome is key to mental health, instinct and immune function as well as basic digestion. Your gut is even talked of as being your ‘second brain’. To function well, it must have a healthy balance of viruses, bacteria, fungi and other microbes – guess who holds the blueprint for that innate sense of balance?’

Me: ‘You do!’

Gaia: ‘Absolutely. The resonators can connect to my healed resonance, so please let me support the key resource that is your gut, this will help me as well as you.

I also want to invite you to receive further connections through the resonators. The world is transitioning away from the shadow power of the patriarchy. These are painful times for humanity, and the strength, compassion and wisdom of the divine feminine is essential to help hold this space of change. When men and women connect to me through the resonators, I can hold you in my nurturing essence as well as protect you’.

A personal story – the journey to surrender

My immediate family has been going through a particularly challenging period over the last year after my wife was diagnosed with cancer. It is a right of passage, like parenting, that I didn’t fully understand until I went through it.

Once cancer has shown up, life for that person and their family is rarely the same again. It brings with it challenges and changes that are life defining and you can never return to those times of ‘not knowing’.

We made plans for all eventualities, benchmarks for when we would engage medically and when we would draw a line and follow our own path.

It worked to a point, but after many forms of inconclusive testing, we still didn’t know whether we were facing ‘symptom management’ in the words of the doctor, or protocols offering a very positive outcome.

There was a single moment for both of us during one of these medical meetings, when something snapped deep inside. All the boundaries, planning and controls we had put in place couldn’t contain the strength of feeling.

We had been rowing our metaphorical boat hard down the river, using all the healthcare experience we had accumulated over the years, but then we just let the oars drop into the river. We surrendered.

Do you know that feeling? It is not a giving up, it is not a place of victim, of allowing yourself to be ‘done to’, it is simply a place of surrender where you realise that life is bigger than you are, and if you row hard you cannot alter the direction of travel, you simply use up energy.

We still took many practical actions around good nutrition, energy practices, meditation and movement but from a new place of surrender, where we allowed the journey to be what it wanted to be.

For me, there was something overwhelmingly painful but also exquisite in that moment. It was exhausting for a day or so as I processed the shift, but ultimately I found a place of peace.

We were not victims to fate and the limitations of the medical system, but neither were we in charge of our experience. We were not creating our reality in the typical sense of the phrase, where positive thinking and clear intention create a future path of certainty. We were also not subject to the vagaries of chaos or bad luck. We were simply flowing with the river of life, unable to change direction but also not needing to.

I moved from a place of trying to steer against the pull of the river’s current to a place of realisation that I was part of the current, I was the river itself.

Can you see how empowering that can actually be? Good decisions still need to be made from that place, but with the knowledge that even those decisions come from the river underneath, that whatever we do will not necessarily alter the result, that we are in the hands of God, inside and out. There is a state of grace in this, of transcendence.

My wife is doing well and her prognosis is good; we just need to do whatever is necessary to maintain wellbeing and try to stay in that place of surrender rather than fear.

It’s not easy and we have good and bad days, but underneath it all we remain amazed at how the hardest of news has broken us open to more love. We have more appreciation of what we have and the bliss available on this incredible planet, even in the face of deep challenge.

Even in our darkest days, the light of Spirit is still shining brightly for us. If we can surrender into that love when we are most challenged by fear, then we can be transformed.

 Money!

Money is such a controversial and emotive topic. Writing about it can be triggering for those who struggle financially and I do not want to demean the real dynamics of poverty. However, whatever our situation, we always have some choice about how we experience it, the perspectives we choose to bring, the lens through which we view our issues. I speak to that.

My inspiration for this newsletter came when I was reflecting on my own lifetime relationship to money and pondering the apparent juxtaposition between my sense of financial security and my underlying happiness.

Those who have read my book will know that I spent the formative years of my adulthood in financial services – ironically a great springboard for my spiritual growth because I lived within a system that pushed me to find more meaning to life, a different path.

Ever since then I have seen the financial security I once lauded decrease in proportion to my growing happiness and fulfilment. When I gave up my safe job to become a self employed therapist my income and security dropped hugely but I had never been happier. Strange, but maybe this all reflects a deeper truth.

Perhaps having money does come at an unavoidable cost. I used to think that money only had the energy we give it, but now I believe that if you have it, you can’t avoid the energy that comes with it. In the West, we seek wealth because our social norms reward it, perhaps we have lost touch with the basic tenets of a balanced way of life.

We only have to look at nature to see that she travels light, dancing through the seasons with access only to what is available in that moment. All forms of life depend upon continual nourishment. It is a fragile existence based upon trust and surrender. Can we humans exist like this, living in the sweet spot of each moment?

Culturally there is a lot of resistance to this idea because our core structures have been built around the absolute necessity of a financial system and the need to thrive within it – ideally with high earnings, savings and a good pension.

And yet, the idea of retiring, of wanting to stop work, says a lot on its own. Work is often something we do for the money and want to stop as soon as we can afford to do so.

In a balanced society, we should be living in a range of fulfilling activities that could barely be described as ‘work’ and if we love our lives and where we put our time, why would we want to stop?

The secret of the long lived is that they keep physically active and stay involved in their local community in some path of service that they enjoy.

Here are my top list of ideas to help stay in balance around money:

1. Going to zero – I have several times been in a place of maximum mortgage, bank loans and credit card. They all marked moments of death and rebirth where I was embarking on a deep spiritual transformation. I am not entirely sure why, but this process required me to have no savings. Money energetically felt like baggage which had to be released.

2. Give to good causes – if you have money, give away as much as you can. The energy of abundance you show will come back to you from a different source.

3. Forget retirement planning! If you can, find work you love, preferably under your control, and stay in it as long as you are physically able.

4. Ignore home equity. If you are lucky enough to own some of your home, I suggest you ignore the equity you hold within it. It is not true wealth and is very hard to access. A home is a right not an investment.

5. Follow nature. Surrender to divine support, synchronicity and the rhythms of life to allow you to live happily without a safety net.

6. Embrace true luxury. Understand that true luxury is a feeling, a perspective, not a fast car or an expensive holiday. We can luxuriate in the sensuality of our favourite food, music, entertainment or intimacy. It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money.

7. Live with moderation. Avoiding desire for more takes us out of neediness, greed, aspiration and the inevitable sense of lack that follows. If you are happy with just enough then I suggest this is a powerful place of spiritual balance. You are not looking for money to make you feel safe or luxury goods to make you feel happy.

8. Live with gratitude – be grateful for all the abundance around you, whether the beauty of nature, the support of a close fried or the love of your partner. Feel how blessed you are.

What is your relationship to money? Can you imagine having the minimum necessary to get by today and trusting that tomorrow will be the same?

With love

This year marks 20 years of making resonators. It feels like quite a landmark. I was going to offer a rollback to 2005 prices to mark the occasion, but the price then is the same as it is today.

So let’s continue to go against modern inflationary trends and take prices down rather than up. For all of March, I’m going to offer a 20% discount on resonators. They are still the latest versions, full of EMF protection, grounding, microbiome supportive and divine feminine connecting, just cheaper! Use code MARCH20 at checkout to get your discount.

Book – Heal Your Past, Free Your Future

Thank you for continuing to support my book in such high numbers. It is rewarding to me, and the charities it supports, but I do believe it is fundamentally an opportunity for you, a chance for deep and lasting healing, a chance for alchemy. If you are a therapist, there are many tools to help you deepen your practice.

This month’s theme: The human tree.

I normally get the clearest inspirations for these newsletters through shamanic journeying to the underworld. This is a mythical paradise, nurtured by the angelic presence of a spirit the Peruvians name Huascar.

When I asked Huascar for insight about the journey of humanity and how we might live in greater balance, I was shown a picture of a mature oak tree. I was shown 3 ways in which trees inspire us to live in greater balance and harmony with our environment.

With each of the 3 areas I have offered a brief explanation along with a harmonic sequence which is loaded with healing energy in that connection, in true Quantum K style. If it calls you, please read the harmonic three times (silently or out loud) and intend to receive any supportive energy contained within it:

1. Balance: Trees maintain balance between Spirit (the sun and the divine masculine) and the embodied world beneath us (the earth and the divine feminine). As a species, we are not always holding that balance, either living too much in the material world, or disconnected from life through a spiritual practice that leads to escape and lack of true presence. Healing harmonic: 227 483 197 226

2. Community: Trees exist in community. They support animals, the soil, the atmosphere and in doing so are nurtured back – for example by the birds and squirrels who spread their seeds. Their roots are linked through the mycelial network so they may look after each other and even nurture young saplings with extra nutrition as they establish themselves.

Trees are also well prepared for challenge. When strong winds arrive, (symbolic of the challenges of life) they tend to do so in the winter when the trees have shed their leaves. They are thus unburdened and able to respond with flexibility.

For us humans, the loss of true community means that many challenges are met in addition to normal activities and responsibilities, so we are fully covered in leaves when the storms arrive. Can we look after each other better? Can we help each other meet our challenges unburdened so we may respond more fluidly, and therefore more likely transcend the situation unscathed? Healing harmonic 197 203 888 936

3. Legacy. In death, trees still nurture the planet through their legacy – a fallen tree supports fungi, insects and the soil as it decomposes and leaves a gap in the canopy for future generations to grow towards. What legacy will you leave? Will you leave the world better than you found it? Healing harmonic 167 833 298 111

In the bigger picture, Huascar showed me that the deforestation of the planet is a sign of our resistance to the incredible energy that trees represent. The disrespect we have for them is an external reflection of the disrespect we have for ourselves. We are literally cutting ourselves off from the air that we breathe in a tragic act of self-harm.

The positive side of this shadow aspect of human behaviour is that what was once an internal sabotage is now being shown clearly in the external world. This is how healing begins, the shadow piece must become conscious before it can be healed.

Huascar showed me seeds of new growth appearing in areas previously devoid of arboreal life. The suggestion was that this is one of many ways that humanity will show that it has transcended its shadow, so changes of behaviour taken from individual effort to national focus. We will see…

Without knowing it, I’ve been trying to escape from the trappings of ‘the system’ in many stages over my life. Perhaps the first was when I left financial services and moved into kinesiology, then there were other levels – healthcare choices, education of my child, the way we live and form community, spiritual beliefs, political affiliations etc They have all been slowly moving away from mainstream norms.

I see this process through the dynamics of light, with full spectrum light being an expression of the fullness of Divine love. It is complete, perfect and all encompassing.

When we are created as individual souls, that Divine light is refracted into the primal colours of the rainbow and each colour informs one of our core 7 chakras.

This allows us to experience various aspects of our inner spark of divinity, from our physical experiences in the root chakra, to our power, family and sexuality in the sacral, all the way up to our sense of soul fulfilment in the crown.

If we can maintain that Divine love and truth in all of these refracted areas, or re-find it if lost, then we bring those colours back together into full spectrum light, back to the Divine. You could call that en-light-enment.

The transition point of our death offers a perfect opportunity to check in with how we are doing, with no judgement of course. Shaman in the Peruvian tradition describe that moment of transition into the afterlife as an opportunity to experience the full colours and sounds of the Universe, and if we ‘know’ at our core that we are seeing ourselves reflected back to us in that indescribable display, then we have embraced the truth of who we truly are.

Inevitably, the structures of the matrix world impede the wellbeing of these chakras. The challenge of being human, if we choose to embrace it, is to heal each chakra to bring back the Divine connection. In doing so, we must undo the damage of perhaps many lifetimes on this planet and all the cultural and familial reinforcements of these harmful global systems.

When I asked Huascar, guardian of the underworld, about how to free each chakra back to its divine state, I was shown that each of them is held within a specific planetary morphic field. For example, our root chakra is held within a global energetic field that values materialism as a goal and justifies competition as valid, suggesting that it is OK to thrive at the expense of someone else.

Our sacral chakras are held by a morphic field that extols the values of the nuclear family over wider community, and the obligations and duty we must honour to our immediate relatives, whatever the cost to our own lives.

Each chakra has its own shadow values and global systems built upon them.

To escape, we must each see the futility and harm in these beliefs and reset ourselves to love and Divine truth in that area.

Easy? Probably not… I was shown that when we challenge a significant layer of the establishment it can cause chaos for a while, but this is the way we break through. If we can meet that challenge and stay balanced, true to love, then we break out. If we are lost in fear and anger, then maybe it’s not time for us to heal this layer yet, and that is totally OK too. There are no Divine deadlines or timescales for our growth.

The inspiration for this newsletter came through my own particular struggle to escape the trappings of the material world, as seen through the root chakra. For whatever reason, the last week held a ridiculous series of reverse synchronicities, where bad luck seemed to follow me and my car. In just 4 days, we had a new tyre blown by a pothole, a broken charger, a huge servicing bill, a parking ticket and finally I was forced off the road into a hedge by a driver racing round a tight country lane.

5 issues in 4 days? I was being tested to see if I could meet these challenges from a place of love and trust. I did what I felt was best and I hope I brought the right energy to this and avoided excessive anger or scarcity consciousness. If I did, then my root chakra will shine and it will be on the path to freedom.

So, I ask you to look inwards into your own life. Can you feel into each of your chakras to see if you are free or conforming to society’s rule book? Do you compromise your values when they conflict with the mainstream world view? If you are trapped, how might you escape – what action or internal healing would be needed to do so?

In a previous newsletter I explored some ideas around the illusory nature of linear time and how past and future lives are actually happening at the same time. Following on from that is a question – how might we use this to help us live in better balance?

One area around this I want to focus on is ‘repetition’. I feel it’s true to say that the second time we experience something is rarely as exciting as the first. However hard we chase, it just doesn’t give the same buzz. We can try a more expensive version, or a more exciting one, but the magic of the first time has gone. It’s so hard to replicate that initial feeling of joy, of newness, however hard we try.

I believe there is a reason for this. Our souls are here for the experience, but they live in eternal time, so once something has happened it stays with us. Our souls just aren’t interested in repeating the same feeling because they are already living in it, able to access it in any moment. That first kiss…. that amazing holiday…. that first bicycle ride….they are happening all the time in Spirit.

The only part of us that seeks to re-experience a pleasure is the human part of us that lives in linear time. That part of us feels that, once something has happened, it is over and therefore lost. If it was good, then we should try to find it again.

This means that, in chasing the memory, we are doing so without full investment or support from our soul. Our soul wants something new.

I believe there are gifts held within the process of linear time if we allow it to flow with grace. It allows us to be constantly in motion, moving through the various seasons and cycles of life with all their new opportunities.

This still allows for structures and some pillars of stability, but these should hold us, like a loving guardian, and not constrict us into rigidity or repetition.

Our bodies also help us through the way cells replicate. If we like adrenaline charged experiences, our cells regenerate with more receptor sites for adrenaline, meaning that more and more excitement is needed to generate the same feeling. The same applies to sugar, spicy foods, drugs – pretty much any experience – so we are being shown the ever increasing cost of trying to find happiness through repetition.

Too much of the same, whether foods or experiences,  can make us unwell or unfulfilled. Science is now recognising this with our microbiome, that diversity of good bacteria through a healthy and varied diet is key to our mental as well as physical health. There is a message in that.

This should encourage us to look for new expressions of love, fresh nuances, rather than attempting to recreate what has already ‘passed’. If we can master this, knowing that all our experiences can be accessed forever anyway, if we want to, then we no longer need to chase life. We don’t need to be caught in greed, adrenaline, addiction or repetition. We can embrace each new moment knowing that nothing previous is ever lost to us.

I want to finish by coming back to where the inspiration for this newsletter actually started, the words of my favourite song lyrics, written for Whitney Houston by Albert Hammond and John Bettis. Perhaps you can read this short extract with a fresh perspective…

“I want one moment in time
When I’m more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heart beat away
And the answers are all up to me

Give me one moment in time
When I’m racing with destiny

And in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity”

With love

Andrew

Resonators

Thank you to everyone who invested in the new resonators. If you missed last month’s newsletter, it is still on the website there to read, but the brief summary is that they now hold a higher intention in their programming:

1. EMF protection as usual

2. Grounding support, as before

3. Support for our microbiome through the enhanced connection to the microbiome of Gaia herself (new).

4. A deeper connection with Gaia herself and the Goddess energy, the divine feminine (new).

If any of this appeals, please do follow the link below. The price remains the same as before.

This month’s theme – The human animal

I learn so much from the animals we keep in our little informal sanctuary. We help them live and die as naturally as possible.

One of our goats was near this point of transition last year and we asked an animal communicator to double check our own sensing around how she was feeling and what she needed.

The suggestion was that the goat was alternating between two perspectives. Her higher goat self was looking forward to the time when her essence could merge again with its wider consciousness, while her animal instinct carried some fear about the weakening of her physical body.

The goat passed peacefully within the protection of her herd, but the question remaining with me was around the interaction between these two parts – the animal self and the higher consciousness. How does this apply to us humans?

In ancient mythology, the idea of humans having an animal self was given a physical presence through the harpy, mermaid, centaur, minotaur, gorgon, siren and sphinx. These myths speak to the gifts and the challenges of holding different aspects of self. Just as a goat might struggle to fully surrender to their inner knowing of life after death, so we too must face the challenge of our duality.

On one hand, we are animals living in survival mode, in fear and scarcity, looking for dangers in our environment and the best way to handle them. At the same time, the higher consciousness of our soul energy working through our higher human brain offers another perspective, suggesting that ultimately we cannot come to harm, that we are eternal souls here for a contextual experience.

I find this helpful when I am presented with a challenge. Rather than having to come to a singular sense about a situation, I allow myself to recognise that I am driven by two instincts. My animal self might feel some anxiety, scarcity consciousness, or a fear of loss, while my higher self might be sitting with a more gentle perspective, a reassuring sense that everything is OK and always will be.

Both are OK. When we try to ignore or suppress our animal self in the drive to be ‘spiritual’ we deny one of our most powerful forces, and one of our greatest gifts. We push that fear into the shadows where it can grow and become an irresistible force of negativity from the shadows. We can bypass some of our deepest feelings in the attempt to give a calm air of authority, a guru like grace in the face of all circumstances.

As amazing as we all are, its OK to carry some fear, to worry from time to time. We need to accept the animal within us and feel what we feel. At the same time, we can also know that everything is going to be OK, that we are eternal souls.

This is a path to true peace, an acceptance of our vulnerabilities and our frailties while holding them alongside the part of us that lives beyond our basic survival instincts. Sitting comfortably with both frees us to make the most of our short physical lives, to take risks but within sensible boundaries, to love deeply knowing the pain that might follow loss, to live fully each day knowing that every breath is one step closer to our last.

This month’s theme – time for an upgrade.

The design behind the resonators I make was shared with me in 2005 and they have been a part of my life ever since. They were initially described as protectors against dangerous electromagnetic fields (EMF), delivered through their natural affinity and shared resonance with the earth beneath us.

I have made and programmed them with this simple intention since that time, nearly 20 years. I was therefore surprised to have a clear wake up call in my dream state from the consciousness of mother earth. Let’s run through this meditation as a conversation:

Gaia: ‘Are you ready to go further with your resonators?”

Me: ‘Absolutely, are you suggesting I am missing some potential here?’

Gaia: ‘The programmed electromagnetic tape is like my personal telephone number, but when you call you only ask for basic protection. Is that all you see me as, grounding and protection?’

Me: ‘Please tell me more’

Gaia: ‘The initial thinking behind the resonators came from fear, from the desire to avoid harm. When you pray to God, do you simply ask to be kept safe?

Me: ‘No, I pray every day for love, wisdom, guidance and support’.

Gaia: ‘So when you make your resonators and connect to me, why do you just ask for protection?’

Me: ‘I guess I felt that the chips were only capable of so much, they are just basic materials after all’

Gaia: ‘Basic materials, yes, but they are just as much my flesh and blood as you are’.

Me: ‘Point taken, what can I ask for then?’

Gaia: ‘Well, certainly continue to ask for protection from human made EMF. It is very damaging to your energy fields and general wellbeing; it also keeps you in survival responses as EMF represents a threat that you meet from your reptilian brain, so it blocks your spiritual focus and connection’.

Me: ‘and grounding…?’

Gaia: ‘Yes, grounding too as this keeps you strong in your body and blocks some of the destabilising effects of fear and that pervasive sense of threat you all live within’.

Me: ‘That seems to summarise my current intention, what is new?’

Gaia: ‘Your scientists are starting to discover that gut microbiome is key to mental health, instinct and immune function as well as basic digestion. Your gut is even talked of as being your ‘second brain’. To function well, it must have a healthy balance of viruses, bacteria, fungi and other microbes – guess who holds the blueprint for that innate sense of balance?’

Me: ‘You do!’

Gaia: ‘Of course, and what have you noticed about the last hundred years in this connection?’

Me: ‘Human beings have damaged the balance within your surface layers through deforestation, climate change and commercial farming techniques – we have effectively damaged your own microbiome.’

Gaia: ‘Yes, but my blueprint remains intact. While you have been doing this, what has happened to human gut health in general?’

Me: ‘It has got significantly worse, developed countries are seeing huge increases in chronic disease and autoimmunity, all areas that a strong microbiome could support’.

Gaia: ‘…and do you think this is a co-incidence?’

Me: ‘Probably not, I often use the phrase ‘as above, so below’, so it makes sense that the way we mistreat you reflects how we mistreat ourselves. There will also be a quite literal reflection of the poor quality of the farmed produce within the digestive systems that receive it.’

Gaia: ‘Absolutely. You operate monocultural farming practices so develop monocultural gut microbiomes. The resonators can connect to my healed resonance, so please let me support the key resource that is your gut, this will help me as well as you.’

Me: ‘Thank you – is that your key message?’

Gaia: ‘One of them. I also want to invite you to receive further connections through the resonators. The world is transitioning away from the shadow power of the patriarchy. These are painful times for humanity, and the strength, compassion and wisdom of the divine feminine is essential to help hold this space of change. When men and women connect to me through the resonators, I can hold you in my nurturing essence as well as protect you’.

Me: ‘So if I can summarise, you are offering to continue to rebalance us in the face of EMF stresses and also help us with our grounding. In addition, you can also now nurture our internal microbiome and our connection to the divine feminine’.

Gaia: ‘Correct. You need only set that intention and it will be done. All future resonators will be made with that wider support imbued within’.

Me: ‘Thank you, I accept your kind offer’.

When I gave permission for this upgrade, I felt a significant download and the next 48 hours were intense and quite exhausting. I do believe my own journey to veganism and vegetable self-sufficiency was partly in preparation for this moment, so that my microbiome could be wide and deep and ready to hold this new space.

I did also tune into all the thousands of existing resonators out there. I believe they continue to be effective within the intention that held them when they were created, but to be upgraded the new vibration would have to flow through the host, and I cannot say how intense that might be. If you have one, it is up to you whether you set that intention.

As always, please do feel into this and look deep within to your own gut instinct. I have a financial interest in the product this article recommends to you. My articles normally carry no benefit to myself, so I declare that interest now and ask you to make your own decision.

If you are interested, they remain at £10 for a pack of 3 with multibuy discounts.

This months theme – the illusion of time

I often wonder what happens to our limiting beliefs and imbalanced energies when we die. Traditions such as Hinduism and Buddhism talk of karma, the idea that unresolved wounds and unloving actions need to be made right in a future life. My shamanic tradition talks of houcha – heavy energy that stays with the light body after death and unfurls onto a new physical body in a future life.

This makes sense to me, to a point, but I do believe that these descriptions are designed to work within our core human belief of time being linear – Tuesday follows Monday, one lifetime follows another. The problem is I don’t believe it actually works that way.

My understanding is that time only exists on the earth plane to give us parameters to live within. In spirit, time does not exist, there is only the eternal moment of now. So, how does the idea of karma work from a spiritual viewpoint if time itself is an illusion? How can unresolved energies pass on to our ‘next life’ if our ‘next life’ is happening at the same time as this one?

I journeyed to the mythic for a perspective on this and was shown a series of dominoes lined up in a row, with the first one toppling into the next and so on. I was told that this was the illusion of linear time from our human perspective. Each domino represented an incarnation of that soul.

I was then shown a circle of dominoes each attached loosely to each other through threads of energy. When one domino wobbled, the others all took the strain, shifting positions to allow the circle as a whole to absorb the energy and remain upright.

The process continued for as long as the wound remained. When the issue cleared, that wider support was no longer needed and the entire soul rose in vibration.

This feels like a closer representation of true reality. A ripple in the field, perhaps a trauma or a fear, affects that soul’s physical and light body, but also every other aspect of that soul, across all incarnations. This happens immediately, in that single moment, the only moment we have.

This is not just about managing challenges. It works the other way too. Every thread of love, gratitude, compassion, joy, wisdom, service, truth etc ripples through the field too, so every positive experience helps hold the space for other incarnated parts of the soul.

Can you see the beauty in this? Can you also see how it gives us permission not to have to make sense of every thing that happens to us, every little struggle? Yes, we may feel heavy emotions, and there may be known reasons for that, but they may also simply be the ripples we feel from the struggles of another part of our soul needing our love in that moment.

This is not an invitation to martyr ourselves or sacrifice what we have when we are doing well – if we truly are connected to love then there is no cost in sharing it. It is, after all, a state of being not an action.

In the bigger picture, beyond our individual soul journey, we belong to a fractal Universe, which we could interpret as meaning that the same laws and structures apply to the whole as to the individual parts. Alongside the journey of the individual soul is the journey of the soul group, set in the same circular format, where perhaps a group of 12 souls nurture each other with whatever love they can access in that moment.

As we widen our perspective, connections expand until, finally, we meet the framework of life itself, within which all creation sits. We then know Source – Goddess / God.

How does that feel to look at life in those terms? Does it feel comforting to feel that the wider family of your soul and other souls is always there, helping and being helped?

I like the model because it allows me to surrender more, to accept that some of my current challenges may have originated from my ‘past’ or ‘future’ self, but equally that some of the support I feel may be from other aspects of me stepping up when I need them the most, or even other aspects of my soul group. A true family, a true community of souls.

With love

In my work as a therapist, I see many clients who are disconnected in their relationship, seeing it more as an arrangement of convenience, a house sharing, than a meeting of souls.

I have written down what I believe are 5 cornerstones of a good relationship; feel free to measure your own against them:

1. Physical connection. This can be represented by a really good sex life, but can also be met through a base of more subtle sensuality. This might involve holding hands, the love of the smell of their hair after a rain shower, the subtle sounds they make while sleeping, or the gentle movement of their chest as they breath.

2. Admiration – do you respect and admire your partner and visa versa? Where do you each have gifts and skills that nurture the other, drawing them to a higher expression of their own capabilities and desires?

3. Kindness and empathy – Are you equally available to each other, able to offer support when it is needed while still able to receive it when the roles are reversed? Do you have the openness, trust and vulnerability to do this?

4. Evolution – A relationship needs to evolve to thrive, stability and repetition are doorways to stagnancy. This growth needs to be more than simply acquiring practical skills or knowledge, it needs to be a growth of the soul and a shared willingness to be heroic in taking on and transcending challenges as a couple.

5. Freedom from judgement – To be allowed to make mistakes, to be loved without conditions, held by the basic assumption that you are both always doing the best you can.

If there are gaps in any of these areas there is a risk of neediness, entanglement, blame, co-dependency, cords and soul loss creeping into the relationship.

When I journeyed into the mythic to explore the essence of relationships I was shown two people facing each other with energies from each chakra meeting the corresponding chakra of the other.

When I asked Huasca, the guardian of the underworld, how to enhance our relationships, I was shown a series of gifts that can be invited into each chakra. This process is a powerful shamanic protocol, often used in soul retrievals and other ceremonial rites.

Please feel into these gifts and, if they feel helpful to you and / or your partner then please do invite them in using the affirmation that follows. Here are the gifts I was shown for each chakra:

Root: kitten

Sacral: honey bee

Solar plexus: mushroom

Heart: stony bridge over a stream

Throat: call of the tawny owl

Brow: lake

Crown: caterpillar

If you read the following affirmation you can feel into my understanding of the nature of these gifts, what they each offer, but please do let your own imagination and senses add or alter what I have written. If they do feel right to you, then by all means invite them in reading out the following, or your own words if you prefer, with a hand on the relevant chakra as you do so:

“For the highest good of myself and all beings, I call upon the following gifts to enhance my ability to be and thrive in relationships.

In my root chakra, I welcome the playfulness and explorative energy of the kitten.

In my sacral chakra, I call upon the honey bee to help me find my drive for sweetness and my sense of community and place.

In my solar plexus I welcome the essence of mushroom, with its capacity to stand strong and independent while nurtured by the mycelial network beneath.

In my heart, I call in the essence of a bridge over a stream – the solidity and consistency of the connection from one side to the other, with the capacity for the fluidity of life and all its emotions to flow sweetly underneath.

In my throat, I invite in the clarity and respect of the tawny owl mating call, with the beautiful ke-wick’, and ‘hoo-hoo’ response, complete only with two committed participants.

In my brow I welcome the essence of a deep, still lake – the calmness, and presentness it represents but also its depth and wisdom.

Finally, in my crown I welcome the energy of caterpillar, that sense of potential, of transformation and making the impossible possible.”

If you choose to do this, I hope it helps you find the best version of your relating self.

With blessings

This month’s theme – are you marginalised?

The themes for these newsletters often show up in unusual ways. For instance, this month, it arose on the way back from a family camping holiday. We found ourselves driving past a wildlife rescue centre where our daughter had won a giant teddy bear (oh joy!), so popped in to pick it up. I expected to find the place empty but arrived in the midst of a huge 3 day healing festival, where thousands of people had come to experience clairvoyancy, mediumship, crystal bowls, reiki, massage, shiatsu, gong baths, reflexology etc.

My life flashed before me…. I realised that at the turn of this century these therapies were all available on the high street, a small but fundamental part of the health clinics I worked within and ran for many years. We supported spiritual and energetic healing practices and found ourselves attracting many therapists of this type but in doing so alienated ourselves from the ‘bread and butter’ practices like counselling and osteopathy. We saw that the tide was not with us so closed in March 2020, just a few weeks before the first pandemic lockdown.

Although the global wellbeing market has expanded significantly since 2001 when I started as a therapist, the expansion has been focused on more mainstream professions. In my current practice, I would guess that about 90% of the practitioners are counsellors of some sort, with a sprinkling of body workers and specialists like myself. In the streets around us there are osteopathic and chiropractic centres, beauticians, cosmetic surgeries etc. but nothing remotely spiritual.

Is this true in your part of the world too? If so, what is it all about? Why has wellbeing and healthcare now polarised so much that the conventional therapies occupy the high street while the more spiritual and esoteric practices now rely on healing festivals and local events?

I am sure there are many practical reasons why this has happened here in the UK, perhaps wider. For example, within complementary healthcare, our training requirements can be quite light, and regulation a bit disjointed when compared to, say, chiropractic or counselling. This impedes public confidence and the media are quick to jump on any evidence of a therapist exceeding their authority or acting inappropriately.

Also, austerity has pushed people to focus on the essentials, so it is easier to justify spending money on chronic pain or trauma resolution, but spiritual growth can wait…

At a practical level, emerging technology has encouraged many therapists to go online for remote sessions and courses.

But what is the spiritual picture? I journeyed shamanically and was shown a scene befitting the Robin Hood myth. In the central town there were the usual assortment of bakers and blacksmiths and a very structured, mainstream, way of life, while in the surrounding woods people gathered in little groups around community fires. These were the outlaws, living furtively in the shadows.

There is no judgement here in any way, no good and bad, but the suggestion was that the spiritual practices have had to slip away from the mainstream, to hold a resonance of their own in quieter spaces – festivals in farmers fields rather than open doors in high street shops.

This has been central to many spiritual traditions, whether the shaman, hedgerow witch or monk. It is hard to focus on the world of Spirit when enmeshed within the rigours of day to day business, so to hold the resonance necessary to connect with Spirit one has to live quietly, separately, and deeply held by nature.

My journey also showed me that spiritual practices are as important than ever, with all the ceremonies and therapy sessions holding a space that is necessary for the evolution of our species, just as they always have done.

There were threads of light running between all those involved in practice or ceremony, joining them together through the land. I have been writing about a new energetic earth grid recently, this may be referring to something similar that runs under our feet, perhaps even along existing ley lines and earth meridians.

I used to promote a future where healing and spiritual practices were endemic within our families and communities, but maybe I was looking too far ahead. Perhaps, in our immediate future, we have to step back quietly into the shadows to hold a more silent space until we are called forward again into a new world, a new consciousness…

With love
