Mind Body Soul, London
Olympia
The Mind Body
Soul Events Company will be putting on the London
Exhibition at Olympia
on 11th and 12th November. The Exhibition will be open both days from
10.00 am to 18.00pm and adult tickets will be £7 for a day and £11 for
both days. There will be the usual combination of exhibitor stands
and seminars. You can find details on http://www.mbsevents.co.uk/. I
have had a quick look at some of the seminars that are scheduled and it looks
like there are some good ones. Psychic Surgery by Lydia
Lynn (free
admission) should be good and Cutting Cords (about cutting energy links
between people) by Sue Allen would be a good one for healers to attend.
Sister Jayanti who is the European Director of
Brahma Kumaris will be holding a seminar
called Soul Healing for the Wounded Heart (free admission). I have met Sister
Jayanti before and she is a very beautiful
person, like an angel incarnate. Even if you do not feel empathy with
the Brahma Kumaris teachings, I am sure that
listening to Sister Jayanti would be a meaningful
experience. A number of seminars at the Exhibition will be free so visiting
this Exhibition should not be too heavy on your wallet or purse. For
anybody who has not been to Olympia
before, there is a lot of car parking space adjacent to the Exhibition Centres. Also, the Underground Station is
immediately outside the Exhibition Centres and is
on its own District Line spur from Earl's Court Station. You will need to go
to Earl's Court to get on to the spur line.
Mantak
Chia
 The
internationally renowned Taoist Energy Master Mantak
Chia ( http://www.universal-tao.com/ ) is
coming to London
in November and will be holding a series of one day courses here. Mantak's area of expertise is working with the chi or
life force energy within the human body and he is one of the most experienced
teachers in this field. He trained from an early age within a long
established lineage of Taoist Energy Masters. The manuals that I have written
include the reworking of techniques from many different sources, some of
which are from Mantak. Mantak's
courses will be held from 14th to 19th November in Central London at Lancaster Gate. The
course titles are Taoist Shamanism, Awakening
Spirit Energy, Taoist Medicine Wheel, Creating Power Fields, Brain QiGong, and Awaken the Shamen.
For further details please visit website http://www.healing-tao.co.uk/ht_mantakvisit.htm.
If you might be interested in joining any of these courses, it would probably
be a good idea to book as soon as possible because the course fees look quite
reasonable and it looks as if there will be a limit on the number
of people attending.
Sheilaa
Hite
Sheilaa Hite is a Light Teacher and Psychic Counsellor from Malibu in California. One of her
colleagues Corinne Travalion was my very first
teacher in the field of energetics. Some of the
techniques I learned with Corinne have been reworked into the Foundation  chapters in my
manuals. We had a very memorable time with Sheilaa
when she joined a workshop held by Corinne that I was attending. The energy
that was raised that day was amazing. Sheilaa
comes to England
from time to time and visits the sacred sites. One summer evening in 1996 we
all had a great time inside the stones at Stonehenge
after it had closed to the public. Sheilaa has
written a book called 'Secrets of a Psychic Counselor'. As my website gets a
lot of visitor traffic, I am putting up details of the book to give it a
plug. The book draws upon Sheilaa's
experiences as a counsellor and gives a lot of very
simple techniques which can be followed to manifest changes in life. Like all
the best spiritual books, at first reading Sheilaa's
book is deceptively simple. However, there is a lot of power behind some
of the techniques given and they are well worth trying. The techniques work
on the basis of sending intention into the etheric
levels with the aid of essences and crystals to get the appropriate
energy vibration. Chapters include Turning Failure into Success, Learning to
Love Yourself, How to Sell Anything Quickly, Attracting Someone
Special, Getting Rid of Negative People, Increasing Your Personal
Magnetism, Getting Rid of Negative Energy, Drawing Prosperity To Your Life,
Claiming and Using Your Personal Power. There are a lot of self help
type books around but this one is a bit different to the rest because of
the nature of the techniques given. Sheilaa has not
come up through the standard route of learning Reiki and then other
energies or from a particular spiritual path like Buddhism that some of us
have come up through. Also, she is regarded as being one of the one
hundred best psychic counsellors in the USA.
Because of this she comes from a different angle to some of us at
dealing with life issues and so her book is good for Reiki healers to read as
it can help to give us some more tools to work with when it comes to trying
to help clients. The usual health warning would apply to the use of her
techniques - be sure that you really want what you are asking for! The book
includes description of changes experienced by some of her clients. The
book has around 255 pages, is published by Moment Point Press with ISBN
1-930491-03-4. If anybody might be interested in purchasing a copy, it is
stocked by Amazon and can be ordered online.
Please note that the title has the American spelling of counsellor and not the English spelling.
Request
for Assistance – Meridian Energies
When I started
learning the energies, most of the courses that I attended were of the one or
two or three day variety where course members received attunements and a lot
of guidance on techniques to use. Although a lot was packed into the courses
and the teaching was very professional, I felt at the time that the courses
were a bit lightweight on teaching the basics about who
we are in terms of energy and how we are all hooked in to the cosmic
energy web of life. I also wondered how the gap would ever be bridged between
this style of teaching and the grounding of healing energy work into
mainstream acceptance should Government regulation ever be brought in to
the alternative therapy sector at some point in the future. Consequently, I
developed a lot of course material which was intended to give students of
mine a good introduction to energy basics before moving on to learn
specific healing energies. These Foundation Chapters in my manuals were very
time consuming to create and were done in a rush because I had people waiting
to learn from me. I am now going back to this material and am updating and
tidying it up. There were some gaps in the original material which
I am now trying to fill. One of the gaps relates to the flow of life
force energy through the meridians. Traditional Chinese teachings are that
each meridian has around a two hour period each day when the flow of life
force energy through it is strongest and that it also has an equal and
opposite two hour period each day when the flow of life force energy
through it is weakest. I never like to try to present something or to
teach something that I have not worked through myself and that I know to be
correct. Although I teach techniques of sending our consciousness down our
meridians to feel where there is stuck and blocked energy so that we can
identify what self healing needs to take place, I have never had
enough time or quiet personal space to tune into the energy flows
in each of my meridians regularly during the course of a day or to feel
how the flow changes during the day or to identify any relevance between
this and the application of energy healing techniques such
as Reiki or Agni Hotra.
If there is anybody out there who has done work on this themselves and has
the experience of working with life force energy in specific meridians during
the ebb and flows of the energy during the day and who would
be happy to share their experiences or to give me a steer on how best to
work with this, it would be much appreciated. My main difficulty with
everything is that there are only twenty four hours in a day and not
enough time to do everything so any guidance that can given that would help
me to focus my attention on this subject in a way that helps me to
manage my time most effectively would be much appreciated. I can be
reached on info@healingenergies-at-londonwest.com.
October Celebrations in Kyoto
 There is a
chapter in the Masters Level manual for my Reiki course written for
those people who one day would like to go to Japan and to visit some of the
sites associated with Mikao Usui. It suggests some places to visit. For
readers who do not have the manual, you might like to visit the  following
festivals if you can be in Japan
towards the end of October.
As we all know, Mikao Usui was
very connected to Kyoto.
He had his psychic initiation into the Reiki energy on Kurama-yama which is a mountain just outside Kyoto to the north.
The first festival is the Jidai Matsuri in Kyoto.
The English translation is the Festival of Ages. (Matsuri
- Festival, Jidai = Ages, as in historical
ages). On 22nd October 794, the decision was made to build up Kyoto as the new capital city of Japan so 22nd October is Kyoto's birthday. To
celebrate the existence of Kyoto, on 22nd October each year there is a
special procession through Central Kyoto with floats depicting all the major
events in Kyoto's history and with
participants in the procession wearing full replica costumes from the
different ages or periods in Kyoto's history. The procession starts in what
were the grounds of the former Imperial Palace,
leaves at the Marutamachi exit, and makes
its way to the Heian Shrine. The Heian Shrine was built to commemorate Kyoto's
1100th birthday and was a smaller scale replica of the first Imperial Palace
in Kyoto. It
was built as a home for the spirits of Emperor Kammu
who took the decision to establish Kyoto
as the Japanese capital and of Emperor Komei
who was the last Emperor to reign from Kyoto
before Tokyo
became the capital. If you get to the grounds of the Imperial Palace
well before the festival starts, you will be able to see all the
participants arriving and getting ready. You can buy spectator seats at the
start of the procession route. Alternatively, you can stand along
the route of the procession. I saw the 1200th birthday celebration
procession in 1994 and sat at the edge of the route at the exit into Marutamachi. As everybody had to slow down to turn
into Marutamachi, it was a good location to
get quality photos. The procession will take something like two hours to
pass you. You will need to take the underground train to Marutamachi
Station to get there. Please visit the following websites which have
some useful information - http://japundit.com/archives/2005/11/29/1607/ and http://web-japan.org/atlas/festivals/fes15.html.
 The second festival takes place later the
same day. It is the Fire Festival of Mount Kurama.
On Mount Kurama is Kurama-dera
(dera = temple). It was around here that Mikao Usui
received his initiation into Reiki. Kurama-dera was
built to prevent negative energies and the tengu
entering  Kyoto from the North. The tengu were winged demons with human appearance who
resided in the mountains to the north. The guardian spirit at Kurama-dera is Bishamonten, renowned through
Asia as the Guardian of the Direction of
North. Immediately just down the
mountainside from Kurama-dera is Yuki Jinja (jinja = shrine) which is
the focal point of the Fire Festival (Kurama-no-Himatsuri).
The purpose of the Fire Festival is to help the spirits of departed people to
leave the physical planes. This Festival has taken place since the days when Kyoto first became the capital of Japan and was initiated by
Emperor Kammu. Torches as long as 3 metres are lit and burned whilst the priests perform the
rites to help any spirits of the deceased that are still here to move on. The
Festival is about working with the energy of the Element of Fire to clear and
to purify energies and to release attachments.
If anybody travelling
to Japan on a Reiki
pilgrimage can be in Kyoto
on the 22nd October and attend these two festivals, they will experience a
very memorable day.
Kyoto
is built in a small plain surrounded by mountains in a horse shoe shape. All around in the foothills are many
beautiful Buddhist and Shinto temples and shrines. A visitor who enjoys a lot
of walking around could spend a busy two or three days
in Kyoto
visiting these. The Gion district of Kyoto is the Geisha quarter and is worth
a visit.
About 30 minutes by train from Kyoto is
the earlier capital city of Nara.
There are beautiful temples and shrines here as well including the Dai-Butsu or famous Great Buddha statue.
Enlargement of the European Union
 The announcement at the end of September
of the entry of Bulgaria
and Romania into the
European Union on 1st January 2007 will result in a family of
independent sovereign states within an umbrella economic and political union
stretching from the Atlantic to the Black Sea.
The last time that there was anything resembling a union of territories
across this same geographical range was under the Nazi regime. For a lot of
Europeans, the EU means the usual negative aspects such as the regular
squabbles over budgets and funding, the
bureaucrats in Brussels, economic protectionism in some of the older EU
countries that should have been swept away years ago, and the problematic
Common Agricultural Policy. Few people are aware that the spiritual roots of
the EU lie in the killing fields of the Holocaust and in the devastation
caused across Europe in the Second World
War. The predecessor institutions
leading up to the creation of the European Union were started with the desire
to create structures in Europe that would enable different cultures to live
alongside each other and to respect each others’ differences and to avoid the
repetition of the regular fighting and bloodshed that had taken place on the
European continent over many centuries. In fact, the concept of some kind of United States of Europe
had been bouncing around for around 200 years or so before the Second World
War and there had been customs unions in the past which represented a loose
kind of economic union or common market between certain countries. Few people are also aware that what happens
on the physical planet is affected by intentions and actions in the
non-physical dimensions. Sometimes this can be helpful. The recent opening up
of Chinese society in the last decade or so in a bloodless way has been due
in part to the efforts of Kwan Yin and the energy that she has put into the
Chinese situation. Sometimes, what is going on the non-physical dimensions is
most definitely not helpful. The endless violence in the Middle East can
never be solved unless the beings in the non-physical dimensions who are
feeding off the energy created in the Middle East
and who have their own vested interests in the situation move on. Here in Europe, there is energy from above working to support
the development of the European ideal of independent sovereign nations existing
in a wider union with each other. It is coming from St.Germain.
Peaceful coexistence amongst the European nations is very definitely a
special and very personal project of St.Germain. No matter how the shape of the European
Union unfolds in the future, the voluntary development of a union of
countries across Europe without military intervention or coercion does need
to be recognised for the positive achievement that it is and is worthy of
support.
If anybody is interested in doing energy
work to support what is going on in Europe, there is a Violet Fire ceremony
that has been practiced by a number of people here in London for many years
and is based upon channelled direction given by St.Germain.
The work can be undertaken by people working solo but is more powerful when
done by groups. As with all Violet Fire ceremonies, St Germain
and the Angels of the Violet Fire should be called in with the healers acting
both as channels for them but working also with their own individual
intention. There are a number of variations on the theme. The simple generalist ceremony is to visualise the map of Europe
and to work with each country one by one. The healers send the Violet Fire
energy to each country in turn with general intentions of clearing away
negativity, focussing in particular on issues such
as racism, religious bigotry, entrenched negative attitudes to neighbouring countries, and so on. The healers visualise the Violet Fire energy flowing through each
country and transmuting what is ready to be released. More specific
ceremonies are where healers can work where they know that there are
particular local issues between communities or neighbouring
countries and can focus the energy work on those. Where it is known that
there have been massacres and mass violence in the past, healers can ask the
Angels to create vortices of energy through which stranded beings from these
can move on from the physical dimensions.
Psychic healers can tune into individual stranded beings and help them
on a one by one basis. The Violet Fire energy can be sent back in time so
that it can heal through generations of attitudes and memories. It can also
be sent to help to heal current issues such as the religious bigotry from
some of the long standing Christian members of the EU towards the application
of Muslim Turkey to join the EU or such as to transmute the negativity from
the George Bush administration towards some of the European Union countries
which did not support the war in Iraq.
