Monday 27th Feb, why not stay on after Kimm’s evening meditation to discover more about the wonderful magnet healing with Peta Gelder. She will be giving a short talk on how the magnets work to help improve the body’s overall health and let you experience the magnetic energy for yourself. Prepare to be amazed at the power that is found in these little golden gems.

The next Full moon meditation is at 7.30pm – 8pm on Wednesday 7th March. This meditation follows straight on from the evening meditation at 6.30pm so please do come along for both! Full Moon is the peak of the lunar cycle – it’s a time when our goals and aspirations reach fulfillment as we prepare for the waning cycle during which we are generally asked to let go of something that no longer works in our ever-changing lives. We begin the session with a short breathing exercise, followed by a reading for the current full moon phase before relaxing into the guided meditation in which we plant seeds of desire for the coming month.

The Virgo/Pieces Full Moon is a good time to magnify physical and spiritual purity, healing modalities and their use in daily life, the gap between the human capabilities of environment control, manipulation and adaptation (Virgo), and the will of god (Pieces).

Virgo is all about physical organisation, cleanliness, self discipline, focus, and the planning and the control of every small detail of one’s daily life. Pieces is all about flowing with what is, no discipline, no planning, and no boundaries.

Both signs look for purity: Virgo in the physical sense of keeping with a correct diet, organisation, and exercising. Pieces in the spiritual sense of purity: purifying motives and aspirations.

Those signs also bring into focus the Oneness and the many parts, Virgo likes separating, sorting, discriminating, analyzing, and criticizing, while the Pieces stresses fusion with the whole, unification.

In Virgo we learn the power of control, of details, of taking care and adapting nature to our needs, we learn humility by letting our actions speak for us. In Pieces we learn to appreciate nature as it is, learning that our humane power is limited, learning humility in front of forces that cannot be controlled. In Virgo we learn how to help by diagnosing and prescribing the right medicine, while in Pieces we help by compassion and acceptance.

When discussing Virgo/Pieces the issue of spiritual practices comes up. Any true “road”, combines those two energies within it. Each modality stress the need for self discipline, the need for setting up boundaries and actively purify ourselves, and at the same time learn to accept life as it is, the power of prayer, and giving up the self will.

In essence both ends are needed, the Virgo which stress the physical actions that will lead you closer to your true essence, and the Pieces which stresses the fact the you already there. (Lunar living astrology 2012)

Teens are such an important time for us girls! (boys too but we will get to that!) It’s all changing so quickly! Our bodies, minds, relationships, attitudes and emotions are all in transition between childhood and adulthood. We are dealing with the huge question, “WHO AM I?” usually without outwardly stating it, but our actions certainly show we seek to find answers! This can be a daunting phase and increasing self-consciousness can leave us feeling quite alone. During this time we start to form our own ideas about the world, often deciding not to experience or express particular things on account of them being deemed ‘wrong’. This can mean that as adults we are quite childlike in our emotional development, we just don’t learn how to handle and use our feelings to our advantage.

With all the changes and growth, this is a time in our lives that has the potential to be so magical and exciting if we begin to expand our thinking and quiet our busy minds! These classes will introduce simple meditation and breathing techniques that can be easily maintained as daily practice. Becoming increasingly more widespread, meditation can enable us the ability to calmly endure the chaos and confusion of our own minds. This can help us to make more appropriate choices from a more balanced emotional state. Extensive scientific research on meditation has proven many additional health benefits including reduced rates of heart disease, high blood pressure, insomnia, chronic pain, cancer, anxiety and depression among others.

The great philosopher Plato said that  “all learning is simply recollection” and while study is important, he believed all that you truly need to know is inside you. We will discuss intuition as a concept and there will be exercises to begin to cultivate this within ourselves as well as methods to bring a little bit of magic into everything we do! We will also use creative games to start to uncover our unique qualities and gifts.

In summary, this group aims to bring girls into a space where it is completely safe to express whatever it is they may feel. We will be looking at the benefits of living a life of gratitude with a broader more universal perspective but most of all we are going to have loads of fun! There is all the time in the world to be an adult so lets play!

A quick update and some info on forthcoming events from Nutritional Therapist Becky Davies-Downes

As a member of the British Association For Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy, the UK’s professional body for nutritional therapists, I am committed to Continuing Professional Development (CPD). This means I have to undertake a certain amount of additional training each year. This ensures therapists are constantly updating their knowledge and adding to their skill base. 

I am attending a CPD registered conference next week which I’m really looking forward to, although I have to say, it surely must win the prize for worst named seminar – To Burn Or Not To Burn, Fat Is The Question! There is a lot of new research coming out about the effectiveness of different diets so I’ll be bang up to date in time for my next workshop at the Happiness Centre.

A date for your diary’s – Saturday 10th March 10:00 – 11:30 (ish!).  Why Diets Don’t Work – a workshop exploring the pitfalls of dieting and why diets often lead to a continuous cycle of weight loss / weight gain.  

I shall be looking at what leads to that endless yo-yo dieting pattern, what this does to the body, and why losing weight rapidly increases your chances of putting it all straight back on. 

This workshop may well turn into a regular event. I am looking at starting a wellness group combining nutritional advice, cookery demonstrations from a local restaurant, and fitness tips / tasters overseen by a personal trainer. More news to follow on this. If anyone is interested maybe you could drop me an e-mail saying you would like to be kept informed via e-mail. That way I can make sure you are kept up to date with the progress on this one. You can contact me at bdaviesdownes@me.com 

Other things to look out for – how to make sense of all the current publicity surrounding vitamin D and activities for Coeliac Awareness week in May.

 

 

 

Here’s my latest news:

Monday Monthly meetings Psychic Development: Next date 20th Feb 19:30 – 21:30 pm : places £6 Are you highly intuitive? sensitive to the energy of the environment and other people? Do you tend to take on too much and find it difficult to say “no”? You may even find it difficult to engage your interests properly, feelings of being busy or rushed are common. You could feel overloaded, be irritated by the small things, you find you are sensitive to noise, and feel a strong desire for periods of silence and solitude.  You may find that coincidences can no longer be ignored and they are coming along more and more. There is a deep feeling inside that something is about to change but you can’t put your finger on it. There is a stirring deep inside – there must be something else?  You may feel drawn or even compelled to develop your intuitive abilities. If you feel confused or unsure which direction to take, you’re waiting to be ‘shown’ the way. Whilst you’re waiting to see the way for you, I suggest you take a moment to experience the connection with the deeper world. I have taught this subject for years. I know what you can expect, I know the process, and how scary change can be. Take a couple of hours a month to honour yourself and explore. I look forward to meeting you.

The Leo Full Moon is all about learning to become the very best “I” we can be. Leo can encourage a sense of healthy ego identification and joy – there is greater generosity and expansion of the heart. The Full Moon is a culmination of the cycle, and bringing something into form is an important piece of the intention here. Yet the Leo Moon is opposite the Aquarius Sun, necessitating a balance between our identification with the personal and our lives as part of a collective.

Full Moon is the peak of the lunar cycle – it’s a time when our goals and aspirations reach fulfillment as we prepare for the waning cycle during which we are generally asked to let go of something that no longer works in our ever-changing lives.

Come along to the full moon meditation with Fiona on Wednesday 8th February, beginning at 7.15pm and welcome in the increased spiritual energies available for transformation!

What is Crystal Healing?

Crystal Healing is when crystals and gemstones are placed on and around the client in a ‘crystal healing energy grid’ where the vibrations are able to penetrate the whole being, body, mind and spirit.  When the individual crystal formation has been set up, a complex and pure electro magnetic light force field works on the person as a whole. These energy fields then start to work by opening the chakra points as well as realigning and redistributing the correct energies to give a feeling of restored peace and harmony.

Who Can it Help?

Almost everyone! Are you looking for that improved feeling of well-being? Well look no further. My clients range from the elderly to the very young from all walks of life with a wide range of complaints.

What Can it Help?

Since the 1960’s crystal healing has seen a great revival here in the UK as these healings can be very powerful in preventing, or assisting with the recovery of a varied amount of illnesses or diseases. Healing crystals have been found to be effective on many conditions from Addictions to Whooping Cough.

I read a great deal. I listen a great deal. Sometimes because it is my job, mostly because I am interested in you and in the world. Something I notice is how often people preface information with “as we all know”. Do we? Do we all know the same things in the same way? Is it a useful assumption? Do you have the same experiences as me, and if you do, do they mean the same thing?

I like to have conversations in which we can explore our differences of understanding, particularly in the area of spirituality, how you and I connect with and explore the wonder and energy of life. The poet Rumi wrote “ Outside ideas or right doing and wrong doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there”.

I don’t offer the teachings of a specific path, I come with the curiosity and openness to discover and explore the many facets of spiritual connection. I would enjoy helping you to develop your own awareness and understanding in ways that feel authentic, healthy and work best for you.

You are warmly invited to find out more on Tuesday 20th March 2012. Dave Barthram and I will provide a safe interactive space in which to acquaint yourself with your relationship with the Universe and its life force.

We will meet at the Happiness Centre at 7.00pm for 7.30pm to 9.30pm. £15 secures a place (refreshments included).
