My Twin Flame journey began in 2013 during a pivotal crisis which ultimately lead me to a deeper understanding of my own soul path. It was whilst I was in a deep inner conflict, doubt and questioning that the realm of spirit spoke to me telepathically via a Tree Spirit. Instead of having the courage to face my own adversity, I projected my trauma outside of myself and onto the one I love. The psyche is incredibly clever at displacing what it cannot cope with and somehow making it someone else’s fault. Instead for me spirit had other ideas. Making me accountable for my own suffering and bringing me to a higher truth, this tree spirit told me that I was exactly where I needed to be and that my husband was my Twin Flame. This was the first time I had ever come across this term and phenomena. I had to google the meaning and it took me several months to work out its magnitude. Since then I have provided healing and soul guidance to many twin flames supporting their own purification and transformational process.

Along the way I have encountered those who have been deeply traumatised by the Twin Flame relationship. The twin flame relationship has the phenomena of accelerating and evolving us on a spiritual level at quite a speed, catapulting us into a deep alchemical process. Ultimately we will face all that is left unhealed and also be called to be the Shepherd of the New Earth. It is through this process that the universe accommodates manifestation through its connection with consciousness. Consciousness literally changes the world. But what about the suffering and inner turmoil it would also create? What about the deep longing for union when union was not possible? What about the missing soul fragments and the very rare false twin flame scenarios experienced in my healing clinic? Many parts of it sat so uncomfortably with me over the years, much of which I did not have the capacity to understand. I would often ponder why did this tree spirit open me up to this world? Was it really my path to undertake? Why is the twin flame phenomena so wide spread in the collective consciousness? Why are so many twin flames drawn to me? There seemed to be a missing link.

I have come to understand this. As part of our growth my husband and I, with each of us emitting frequencies of our soul group, planned to evolve our soul group by coming together for sacred marriage and healing the divine masculine and divine feminine aspects of SELF for our OWN evolution. I previously thought the twin flame journey was about creating the sacred marriage, the merging of the polarities, the two counterparts creating a whole. This is not the case. The true purpose of the union is simply to create wholeness in ONSELF. It is an initiation.

The twin flame meeting/connection/union ignites the purification and transformational process for each individual counterpart, yet they each must do this sacred work for themselves, they cannot do it for each other. The inner processing, purification and illumination must come from within, no one can do this for us. Self-mastery takes us into the essence of our own heart, a sacred chamber that is ours alone. True ascension starts in the heart, with the mind and body following. Creating harmony in the heart is the single most important aspect to balancing the polarities that separate and divide. No one needs to be a twin flame or to have a twin flame to undertake this sacred spiritual journey. It is every man and woman’s path if they so wish. Anyone can seek to combine the divine template of the feminine and masculine energies of SELF. Expansion unfolds when the heart is the altar and the body is the temple to the essence of spirit that resides in all of us. To enlighten the body one must enlighten the heart. All this leads to higher light, higher wisdom, higher love and higher truth. The relationship we cultivate with ourselves is the single most important relationship we will ever have, we need no-one outside of ourselves to complete us. It is only through the doorway of the heart that you unite with the peace inside of you.

Once the sacred marriage of SELF has occurred the twin flame illusion becomes obsolete as the merging of the polarities has already taken place. From this point of wholeness you are an integrated being – you are a balance of the polarities reflecting the totality of source. From this space you can spiral up the ascension path to a more correct and inclusive view that twin flames are ultimately an illusion. We begin to see that this has been used as a concept constructed under karmic conditions and contracts via your soul group for the evolution of your soul. Once you have arrived at this evolutionary understanding there is nothing outside of yourself that makes you whole. This is one of the last phases of the ascension cycle – healing the wounded aspects of the divine feminine and divine masculine aspects of SELF. Balancing the frequencies of masculine and feminine energies is in no way limited to a twin flame union, anyone can do this. Those experiencing a twin flame connection have intended to do so under the governance of their soul contracts as a way of helping each other evolve. The soul contract is to ignite that healing process and to begin the sacred marriage within the SELF – irrespective of being in union or not. This is not to say a union will or will not occur. What I am saying is that the true work is done within the SELF. This is the purpose of the initiation – not the sacred union of the divine counterparts – rather the merger within the SELF.

Once this sacred marriage within SELF occurs my only guess is that we are able to transcend duality, the energies that construct this dimensional reality. There is no separateness – there is no you – there is no other. The illusion of separateness falls away and all that is left is all encompassing and all inclusive. The soul group has transcended duality – what it came here to master. And yet no doubt this won’t entirely be the correct view either – there will be the next level of view to master and so the cycle goes until we merge back into the primordial energies in which we sprang. Again my guess here is that the primordial energies at the highest level are neither masculine nor feminine, rather energy at its purest form.

The twin flame is but one message sent to us as an initiation to heal the divine masculine and divine feminine aspects of SELF. It has been orchestrated by the soul in this evolutionary time of transformation so we can transcend the gateways that closed our consciousness off to the gifts of the angelic light. I now understand what I channelled several years ago in regards to the frequency of the twin flame bridging us to the Angelic realm through dimensional energies. It is time for the re-seeding of this frequency and for us to remember our own light dynamics. This is the evolution of the collective consciousness. Such a shift gives us the potential to recreate ourselves in an entirely new paradigm. We become the divine seeds of light itself.

I’m not saying the twin flame vibration isn’t powerful – I have worked with it enough to know that it truly is, what I am saying is that it is not an entirely correct view or the pinnacle of this time of transition and transformation. It is a doorway to the gifts of angelic light, it is the reopening of the gateway that the ancients predicted would open as the new world age births the emergence of a new species of light. The power lies in the integration of the sacred masculine and feminine polarities within ourselves. This is the victory of light over matter, the enlightenment and the ascension.

The initiation of the twin flame connection activates the connection to your monadic family and all you have ever been, joining with the light of all your soul extensions as you merge back to source. I believe it to be some of the last step’s in the soul’s ascension as it merges into one giant spark, pouring into the light of the monad – the soul family. Once that occurs it will then no doubt rebirth itself into its next evolutionary cycle and so consciousness continues.

As the ascension of consciousness reaches new pinnacles of understanding new knowledge and wisdom creates a new landscape that is forever changing. We continue to move into a higher truth that reflects where we are on the path.  The condition of our world depends upon the condition of the consciousness of our souls.

Not everyone’s soul path is to experience the twin flame phenomena. There are many paths to awakening the seed of divinity in all of us. There are different initiations along the path – so don’t waste your precious time or energy in trying to manifest your divine counterpart when you may not even have one, especially when the main purpose is the integrated balance of the masculine and feminine polarities within the self. Don’t suffer with heartache over not being able to physically merge or unite with your twin flame as that may not be your intended path. Instead develop the integrated, sacred and divine SELF – complete unto itself.

Sound, vibration and frequency all have a profound impact on us, in fact harmonics and resonance govern our very existence, forming the building blocks of our reality. Everything we experience is made up of energy, frequency, vibration and sound.

Due to our vibrational nature, sound and light therapy has immense healing and transformational power. I have been guided by spirit to create a healing therapy that incorporates these simple yet effective elements to restore physiological wellbeing. This form of healing specialises in its capacity to bring higher vibrational frequencies into the chakra, meridian and nadi systems for intelligent use by the physical body.

Sound Healing

Much has been written regarding the power of sound and its ability to heal. Sound has the ability to impact us right down to our metabolic processes and DNA. One just has to look to the science of cymatics, the visual representation of the vibrational effect of sound on matter, to get a clear picture on how sound can create a powerful reorganisation and recalibration at the physical level.

I wanted to birth my own sound healing album with specific harmonics and frequencies, that coherently interfaces with the chakra and energetic system using traditional healing musical instruments, such as the African djembe drum and Kora, Australian didgeridoo, Native American flute, crystal singing bowls and crystal harp just to name a few. I entrusted this processes to good friend and talented sound healer Steve Davies to compile and help produce the shamanic sound journey I had envisioned. He has done a remarkable job both musically and vibrationally.

Light Therapy

Light/colour therapy, otherwise known as chromotherapy has been used in ancient civilisations and heralded as a potent healing tool. Light is the essential spiritual power that exists within us. Molecular structures within the body such as DNA, RNA and proteins, respond to the penetration of light particles, first within the auric field and then secondly by the etheric body. The physical body then transduces these frequencies into usable particles to be used for repairing and regenerating damaged biological processes within the numerous electrical reactions that occur within normal physiology.  The light frequencies of the visible colour spectrum radiate intelligent energy that the life force interprets, then sends out as specific instructions for the healing and regenerating of the physical body. Each colour frequency has specific healing qualities imbued with cohesive information on how best to utilise the radiation for healing purposes. Light has its own intelligence and lifeform, and when interpreted by the body can produce remarkable healing effects on the physical and energetic body. Light is a carrier and as such it is able to carry the healing properties of the sound directly into the subtle and physical bodies.

Bodywork Therapy

Touch by itself is so therapeutic in nature, it induces deep relaxation and feelings of nurturance, love and care. I have channelled a sequence of hand postures which stimulate different energy systems, gently opening up these subtle centres so that they are able to transduce the energy of sound and light into usable energy for the healing and regeneration of the physical body. This allows for the greater transmutation of the more stubborn and engrained patterns that often get locked in at a cellular level and crystallise within the physical body.

Deep Relaxation and Healing

The Shamanic sound, light and bodywork therapy is extremely relaxing, often the deeper state of relaxation the more profound the healing. It is in this deep state of rest the healing takes place, clearing any blocks in the auric field so that the healing and regenerative energies can be anchored into the physical and most densest layer of our being.

Throughout the session the client often gets to experience the wisdom of the sacred and silent mind. It is in this silence that the emergence of the pure and spiritual mind is possible, it is the bridge or vehicle that transcends the barriers of ego and thought and opens a clear communication with spirit, where we enter into the realms of the unseen and eternal.

The power of Sacred Intention

Like everything meaningful I do, it is imbued with sacred intention. Focused and deliberate intention is such a powerful force as it carries through the energy and vibration of what has been intended. I wanted to share the intention and energy that was put into the making of the sound healing journey and was the guidelines I gave to Steve Davies to interpret into sound. I completely surrendered it to spirit. Beautifully Steve Davies decided to do a detox to prepare, he called on his interdimensional Shaman to guide him and asked that each chakra track be the most potent and expansive. He surrendered to his own spirit and channelled the music for me. Above all, may my clients always experience what they need most and bring their own sacred intention into their journey.

Twin Flames – the divine feminine and the divine masculine aspects of a monad together contain the consciousness of source, the god created spark of spirit. Each experiencing on its own, taking individual paths of spiritual growth, though always connected in consciousness. Sometimes twin flames incarnate together on the physical plane at the same time, sometimes not. The two come together to connect before the monad re-joins in the Oneness field of all creation, which is the very purpose of this article. It is said that in times of great change, such as the present transition from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian age, many twin souls will come together again for the purpose of spiritual advancement and ascension. This is a huge evolutionary step forward, for both their OWN soul growth and consciousness, and for the purposes of assisting OTHERS in preparing to move into higher vibrational levels of existence. When twin flames unite they are the spark of the original totality of Oneness.     

I have been sent here on my earthly mission as a star seed from Arcturian and Sirian linages bringing forth gifts and wisdom from each. One of my soul’s strengths is sacred geometry, which I use in healing sessions, as well as connecting my clients to a higher vibration frequency through the fleet of light beings in which I channel. My quest is expansion and TRUTH at its highest level. My purpose is unity consciousness. My message is clear, light is stronger than the dark, even though both are a necessary part of creation. The Divine Masculine aspect of spirit has become unbalanced and we have seen control and power be the driving forces of our history. The return of the divine feminine says control and power will no longer govern us, we will return to love harmony and balance. To our essence, to the sovereignty of our unique soul. I am a dakini, a protector of the sacred twin flame.

Twin flames, when united in union, can access the 13^th dimension of consciousness; in our current state of reality we can only access 12d consciousness. The reason as to why 13d consciousness is so vital is that it plays a huge role in the evolutionary shift into 5d consciousness. Although we have access to the 12^th dimension the collective consciousness vibrates at the level of 3d reality. The level of self-awareness determines the level of dimension or frequency one can “tune” into. This is why self-mastery is imperative to the shift in consciousness and also the ascension of your soul. Many people on the path can access higher states of consciousness (dimensions).  This determines the level of “awakefulness” one is.

A lot of twin flames struggle with the density of the earthly experience. Many are from star systems of a much higher frequency and their energy fields are very sensitive to the energy of others and the collective. All twin flames have some role to play in the dissolving of the old paradigm and the birth of the new. This is the beautiful, yet challenging alchemical process of transmutation that is taking place on our earth. I have worked with so many twin flames (they are drawn to me like bees are to honey) and it is very evident that their energy fields are often deliberately sabotaged. Here is why… Twin Flames hold within their consciousness sacred knowledge and wisdom that predates Ancients Egypt, Atlantis, Summerian and other important timelines. What is so special about this? These timelines hold the secret to our illumination and ascension. It’s no wonder half of our history and wisdom have been kept from us or changed to suit the agenda of a controlling and manipulating force. It is because of this that twin flames are prone to and subject to psychic attack and vulnerability. Because I work within these realms (of protector and dakini translated as “sky dancer – she who moves in space”) and have done so in many of my previous incarnations, my role, or speciality, is in the underworld, navigating the darker realms. This was very hard for me to embrace and embody. I used to question why I so often worked with dark energy, what was it, in me, that called this into my existence. My enquiry was within. Sure, like us all I have my shadow and dark side, but surely it wasn’t that dark, like a great abyss. Then came the judgement form others. On-lookers working within the light and only the light making the assumption that the darkness was of my own reflection, which absolutely, can be a possibility. It was spirits gentle and loving voice who told me that I am a dakini, that I am playing the role I was destined to play out. I Am a protector of the divine cosmic order.  The sabotage that exists within the twin flame relationship is a deliberate attempt to stop the union of these beautiful beings coming together. Twin flames while still whole and complete on their own, lack the totality of source (not one another but SOURCE – remember we are primarily here for spiritual purposes). It is only when twin flames unite in the physical that they embody the 13^th dimensional frequency – irrespective of their spiritual advancement. This is the vibration they hold and emit. Together they birth something new. Twin flames not in communion only have access to the 12d frequency and this is very much dependent on their own spiritual advancement.  Now you see why there is the coming together of so many twin flames as we approach another golden era – and the deliberate sabotage in keeping these high frequency beings apart!

 My life’s focal point is my own family but of equal importance is the sacred work of spirit, playing out my role so we can ALL realise our divinity. I walk the inward journey to essence, seeking mystical union with the divine. By attuning to and embracing the divine feminine energy, we take our consciousness to a higher octave of energy, this helps to break down the old structures that no longer serve our evolution on earth, enabling us to return to another enlightened era with unity consciousness and LOVE. I do not fight for any other cause or reason. I am true in my path and I am aware of the consciousness in which I am linked to and to whom I work for. Something so many healers and light workers are not. Let’s not forget that spirituality is one of the most dangerous things to dabble in –this is due to working with a force we can barely grasp with our limited consciousness. Sometimes things are not as they seem. This is why discernment is the first and foremost rule when it comes to working with energy.   I have been a high priest 6 times and a high priestess 4 times in previous incarnations. My sacred work includes returning beings back to their sacred origins. In the darker ages we have experienced so much infiltration, sorcery, manipulation and deceit and this still affects consciousness today. All twin flames that I have had the absolute pleasure of working with have had some level of negative infiltration in this or past lives. In fact twin flames very much have to keep themselves guarded and protected from these lower vibrational frequencies. There is, present throughout all of our history, an opposing consciousness that descends and a consciousness that ascends, both making up an integral part of the whole, or rather making up the whole. If what we want to achieve on planet earth is 5^th dimensional frequency – which is love and unity consciousness we want to align ourselves with the frequency of the ascending consciousness. Because twin flames hold such a high heart frequency the opposing consciousness will try to find a way to either sabotage this energy or infiltrate it at some level. It took me some time to get my head around this, could this really be happening, is life really more energetic than it is physical, well yes it is. We are soul’s having a human experience and we are more energy than matter. This twin flames must be aware of. They must beware of the power they possess which is the power of the heart. The heart can transmute the most densest and darkest of energies. I know this because this is my domain.  I am a protector of this divine energy. But too they must realise the importance of keeping their sacred flame protected – at an energetic level.

From memory, every twin flame I have seen in clinic has been a priest, priestess, high priest or high priestess in past lives. They have been in service to the divine feminine and the rebirth of consciousness to an enlightened era. Now is no different. As spirit said to me recently “we are the ones who we have been waiting for”. A day later I heard a teacher of mine say the exact same words.  It was so amazing to hear. We are ALL this light, we ALL have access to the infinite realms of knowledge and wisdom. All that is needed is to open your heart, look to your true essence and let your consciousness unravel.  Love unites all and all will be united.

Please also take note that it may not be the RIGHT time for two twin flame soul’s to come back together in their evolutionary journey back to source. We have to honour and respect each twin for where they are in their own process of ascension and evolution. Sabotage to the twin flame union would therefore not be indicated in this scenario and the best thing for us to do is hold a loving heart space for the other while they continue on their journey. Spiritual guidance and discernment are the best tools for seeing which truth applies here.   Regardless of if you are in a relationship for not everyone holds within their own divine power. Despite the fact that twin flames have a known evolutionary role in the ascending of consciousness, everyone can achieve higher states of consciousness. It’s not limited to any special being. We are all SPECIAL and EQUAL. If one awakens their consciousness they can access the 12^th dimension, the 13^th  dimension – which acts as the bridge to the next 33 dimensions of reality. The prize, UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS. Now that is worth the inward work, the work of spiritual awakening.    

For too long we have experienced the pain, duality and separation from imbalanced power. A state of Oneness has not existed here on earth since Lemuria, a long, long time ago. The time is NOW for personal, planetary and cosmic acceleration of consciousness. The return of the long gone divine feminine. This will balance the ledger and the divine feminine and masculine can meet as ONE.    

In light, love and unity.

How a channelled healing can help you

• Release the need to totally control your environment
• Release fear, shame and guilt
• Release restrictions and self-doubt
• Release limiting belief systems and scattering of energies
• For those who can never stay centred or in one place long enough to experience depth
• For those who fear the process of life and feel responsible for the end result
• Find balance between the physical and spiritual aspect of SELF
• Develop a sense of wholeness within yourself

Background

Part of the reason as to why I studied Kinesiology was to ground my desire to do healing work in anatomy and physiology. I wanted to anchor my esoteric knowledge within the confines and safety of physicality. Hands-on healing work was a little too lofty and scary for me to claim as my profession – despite it being a calling from a young age and doing several healing courses. So I learned about the body and the manifestation of dis-ease. I certainly don’t know it all and don’t profess to, however learning as much as I can has given me the confidence to work with hundreds of clients and many a condition. The more experienced I become in clinic the more and more I am being guided to go higher – into the realms of our multidimensional anatomy, into the world of energy and spirit. For some time now, I have been guided by God the Great Spirit to do Channelled Healings as a separate part of my business and not just an adjunct in my Kinesiology sessions. Part of my life’s purpose is to channel these corrective higher frequencies which in turn correct and restore the lowered dis-ease frequencies and return the body back it its original blueprint of health and wholeness. I am being urged now is the time and I invite you to embark on this journey with me.

About our subtle bodies and energy field

The recognition that all matter is energy forms the foundation for understanding how human beings can be considered a dynamic energetic system. The body is a complex network of interwoven energy fields that coordinate our life force and animates our physical expression. This energy field is said to guide the growth and development as well as the dysfunction and demise of all human beings. It is these fields which generate physical matter, not the other way around. From what is known about the aura or body’s energetic field, diseases appear to be seen in the etheric field weeks and months prior to their becoming manifest in the physical body.
Our energetic field represents our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energies. It is comprised of subtle energy on the physical/etheric, astral, mental and casual planes of existence. By rebalancing these energy fields we in turn help to regulate our cellular physiology. Healing that takes place in the higher frequencies of our existence is thought to be more powerful than healing on a physical level. So emotional healing is thought to be more powerful than physical healing, mental healing (thought forms and beliefs) is said to be more powerful than emotional healing and spiritual healing is said to be the most powerful of all. One if my favourite quotes is “Heal the soul first then the mind and body will follow”. This became quite pertinent to me when I received some intuitive guidance to look beyond the physical, it came at a time where I was considering doing another course and felt the need to dig deeper into the workings of the human body. For me, I was instructed to go beyond the physical and into the spiritual domain of our being.
Our unique energy systems are powerfully affected by our emotions, thoughts, spiritual balance as well as nutritional and environmental factors. If the energetic field is healthy and orderly, the body resides in a state of health. When the energetic field is distorted and its organised patterns become disrupted by a wide variety of influences, the physical body slowly follows suit by manifesting dis-ease.

The benefits of a channelled healing

Energy healing helps to transform the energetic patterns that create the dysfunctional patterns that ultimately filter down to a physical level. Energy healing in the higher spiritual dimensional frequencies attempts to heal from the primary level of dis-ease, working with distortions at the mental, emotional as well as physical levels of the body. When working at this level I am operating as a Channel for God the Great Spirit, the divine source itself, energetically shifting the clients disharmonious or abnormal patterns of energy flow that contribute to distress and/or dis-ease. So that they can see their own perfection and have a better balance in mind, body and spirit.
If you are searching for answers to your concerns then it’s a possibility that you may need to look a little higher, into the multidimensional anatomy of your being, beyond the physical plane and see what a channelled healing can do for you. Please contact me for a Channelled Healing session today.

Stress

The term stress is used for the symptoms of distress that occur when an excessive load or an intense environment overwhelms the adaptive resources of a person and their reaction be it physical, emotional, spiritual, biochemical or behavioural, creating symptoms and damaging health.

Stress can come from any situation, experience, or thought and can make us feel frustrated, irritable, angry or anxious. What is stressful to one person may not be to another. Seemingly small triggers can have major biochemical consequences.

Stress reactions are often developed in childhood. Acute stress affects the brain as stress hormones bind to receptors in particular regions of the brain that encode memory (the hippocampus and amygdala), so that years later, we often remember stressful events as if they happened yesterday. Prolonged, uninterrupted, unexpected, and unmanaged stresses are among the most damaging.

Chronic stress is one of the major preventable contributors to inflammation and immune dysregulation, which left unmanaged can go on to cause a variety of dis-eases.

Inflammation

Inflammation is the body’s attempt at self-protection. It is part of our innate immunity. The aim being to remove harmful stimuli, including damaged cells, irritants, toxins, or pathogens and begin the healing process. Inflammation involves pain, redness, immobility, swelling and heat.

Silent inflammation is the precursor of chronic inflammatory conditions and is mainly triggered by stress, poor lifestyle choices, obesity, insufficient exercise, a diet high in simple carbohydrates and trans fatty acids and inadequate sleep.

Chronic inflammation is long-term inflammation, which can last for several months or years. Chronic inflammation initiates a variety of diseases, including Alzheimer’s, depression, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, allergies, arthritis and auto-immune disease.

Inflammation is basically the precursor to all disease!

Common causes of inflammation

• Stress and unmanaged chronic stress – long term elevated cortisol
• Deficiency of cortisol and/or low DHEA caused by weakened, exhausted adrenal glands
• Low grade chronic infections (gum, sinus, etc.)
• Chronic non-infectious inflammatory reactions (auto-immune, allergies)
• Free radical overload and antioxidant activity
• Sedentary lifestyle, obesity, poor gut function
• Nutrient deficiency
• Lack of sleep
• Loneliness

Stress, Inflammation and the Brain

Cortisol (the main stress hormone) stimulates inflammation, raises insulin levels, supresses immunity, elevates blood pressure, breaks down muscle and increases abdominal fat.

Chronic exposure to stress hormones damages and shrinks the hippocampus, changing brain function and altering memory.  Amygdala damage is common in conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Chronic stress results in high cortisol and insulin resistance, both having an effect on brain function. Insulin resistance occurs in the brain where there are insulin receptors, so when there is insulin resistance the brain, particularly the hippocampus, fails to function properly. This is why dementia is referred to type 3 diabetes.  Insulin helps the brain burn sugar – our main fuel supply. With insulin resistance this process is inefficient and it affects cognition.  The more body fat you have, the more glucose you store, and the more insulin resistance you become.  Muscle mass is therefore effective against stress and inflammation. Exercise is also protective for the brain as it boosts feel good chemicals and decreases toxic ones.

Glutamate (the most common excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain) is implicated in the abnormal brain chemistry of chronic stress and inflammation. Exposure to chronic stress increases glutamate – a neurochemical that, in excess in the brain, causes depression and anxiety, and contributes to migraines, strokes and seizures. Stress increases the levels of glutamate which destroys the cells of the hypothalamus, that produce dopamine and regulate appetite – causing the classic symptoms of depression, lack of joy, increased eating and weight gain because the hypothalamus becomes leptin resistant.

The immune response, whether it’s due to stress or other factors, creates an inflammatory cascade that inflames the brain via the central nervous system, resulting in inflammation in the brain and the cerebral circulation. Though the inflammatory responses are induced in the body, the cognitive and emotional effects are enabled through the central nervous system. Memory, mood, activity, pain, depression, dementia and fatigue can all be a result of the body’s inflammation affecting the brain. Inflammation spurs on the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines which cause a diverse array of physical and physiological symptoms, including mood and brain function.

Neural sensitivity to social rejection prompts an inflammatory response similar to that of physical injury. When this response becomes the norm for your body, it becomes a low level feature in your physiology and inflammatory ctyokines are constantly released. Once sensitised, social relationships and difficult social situations trigger inflammation – anxiety, IBS, insomnia, depression, and fatigue.

Diet has a massive impact on brain and cognitive function. We produce more neurotransmitters in our intestines that we do our brain, therefore it is easy to see how gut health impacts cognitive health. Research reports that a large percentage of people who have mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and panic attacks also have gut issues and when you clear up the GI issues you can almost always clear up the anxiety, panic attacks and depression. Two of the most inflammatory foods are gluten and sugar. According to Dr, Rodney Ford “the brain and the associated nerves are the number one site for gluten-related disorders” According to Dr Alessio Fasano “Gluten is not digestible by any human” And sadly this digestibility may have no or little consequence symptomatically for many people and go unnoticed for many years until it becomes a problem. Mayo Clinic have demonstrated the relationship between gluten sensitivity and dementia. There is also a direct relationship between blood sugar elevation and Alzheimer’s.  Both of these foods cause inflammation and have negative effect on many organ systems. A diet rich in good fats, fruits and vegetables is the best type of diet one can adopt for optimum health.

Treatment options

The aim of treatment is to treat the source – be it stress, trauma, inflammation, infections, toxins or nutritional deficiencies for example.    Change and transformation is the key aspect. Continuing to do the same thing and behave the same way and expect to generate a different result is, in a sense, madness. To adapt to stress means you must change! Be it the food you are eating, the way you respond to a situation, your deep seated fears and old unresolved issues you have swept under the rug thinking that they will somehow no longer be a problem. It takes energy to keep these events under lock and key in the subconscious mind and is a source of constant energy drain. Sadly most of us are unaware of the stimuli that affect our physiology – which is why Kinesiology and its innate intelligence is so apt at getting to the core of the issue – be it a food, an emotion, and event or a hidden pathogen lurking in the lumen of your intestines.  Our life is more in sync when our brain and body’s biochemistry is balanced. Make sure you invest in your health every day.

According to Dr. Ronald Grisanti “Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS) is a major cause of disease and dysfunction in modern society and accounts for at least 50% of chronic complaints, as confirmed by laboratory tests” Furthermore, Dr D. Weber states “Leaky gut syndrome is almost always associated with autoimmune disease & reversing autoimmune disease depends on healing the lining of the GI tract. Any other treatment is just symptom suppression”

There are many different causes of Leaky Gut Syndrome, however the most prevalent cause I see in clinic is gastrointestinal dysbiosis. Dysbiosis refers to bacterial imbalance between the good and the bad bacteria that reside in our gut with more unfriendly bacteria than the friendly species. When the normal balance of these microbes is disturbed, intestinal inflammation increases. A sure way to eliminate these good bacteria is frequent antibiotic use. A diet high in sugar, refined and processed foods also contributes to the pendulum swing of good to bad.

Leaky Gut, dysbiosis and food intolerances all go hand in hand and create a vicious cycle that leads to increased gut permeability and intestinal atrophy. When the gut is inflamed the damaged microvilli cannot produce the necessary enzymes and secretions that are essential for a healthy digestion and the absorption of nutrients. Because of malabsorption nutrient deficiencies often occur, these nutrient deficiencies slow down the ability of the gut to heal and can cause any number of other symptoms. Hence the cyclic nature of this condition as depicted in my diagram.

Leaky Gut completely overworks the liver because it floods it with additional toxins diminishing the liver’s ability to neutralise chemical substances. When it cannot cope with the level of toxins the liver expels them back into the bloodstream. The circulatory system then pushes the toxins into the connective tissues and muscles where the body stores them to prevent major organ damage. As the intestinal lining gets weaker and weaker more toxins and undigested food enter into the bloodstream. The immune system reacts to this by producing antibodies causing allergic reactions and pain and inflammation throughout the body.

Some tell-tale signs you may have Leaky Gut

• Digestive issues such as heartburn, gas, bloating, diarrhea or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
• Seasonal allergies
• Asthma
• Hormonal imbalances such as PMS or PCOS
• Diagnosis of an autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, psoriasis, or celiac disease
• Diagnosis of chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia
• Mood and mind issues such as depression, anxiety, ADD or ADHD
• Skin issues such as acne, rosacea, or eczema.
• Candida overgrowth
• Food allergies or food intolerances
• Chronic joint and muscle pain

The main way to deal with Leaky Gut Syndrome is through nutrition. It is important to get the body back to optimum health and AVOID the foods or toxins that are causing an allergic reactions. This allows the damaged villi in the intestine a chance to heal and ensures your liver has the time and energy to detoxify your body. There is nothing fancy required for the restoration and healing of the gut mucosa and fortunately our gut lining is one of the fastest growing tissues in the body
hence its ability to heal quite quickly – that is if you avoid the harmful stimulants and put in the right nutrients needed for nutritional balancing. I can’t recall how many cases of Leaky Gut I have seen in clinic with varying different methods and nutrients required to restore function.

I, myself have recently suffered from Leaky Gut. During my pregnancy my surging hormones changed many things including my gut microbiota. I could not take my daily probiotics as they wreaked havoc with my digestive system and hormones. . This change supported the growth of my beautiful baby daughter but caused me to crave carbohydrates and chocolate cake – my glucose tolerance was impaired and I craved fruit like frugivore! All of these changes, including my pregnancy hormones (which are well known to support yeast growth) led me to suffer abnormal levels of candida, gut dysbiosis and finally Leaky Gut. All of my symptomology were gastrointestinal related, however this can vary from individual to individual. I knew the signs straight away and took action immediately. For me the most integral part of my healing was to avoid the numerous foods that had seeped into my blood circulation in which my body had misidentified as foreign bodies and created an antigen response to. Had I not done this my body would have kept on becoming inflamed and igniting the stress response. The other part for me was introducing probiotics to swing the pendulum back in favour of the good bacteria and keep the bad bacteria at bay. In today’s modern society it is easy to fall prey to various health conditions. The challenge is to identify them and get on top if it before it becomes much more serious and entrenched throughout your system.

If you have some of the aforementioned symptoms or have an unexplained medical condition, then Leaky Gut may just be the cause.

A couple of months passed and my intuition kept calling me back to this knowledge, I chose to ignore it. Then I had an extremely challenging client case, it’s definitely not the subject for this discussion, but for the first time in my clinic I encountered a situation where I was unable to help my client, nor did I have anyone to refer her onto that could assist. I spent hours trying to find a practitioner over the next few days to help her. I received some guidance to work with my husband for this client case. As it happens we were able to do a remote session on this client and resolve this issue. The consciousness that we worked with instructed that I could not do this particular work on my own, neither could my husband but we had to do this work together. I was a bit confused and perplexed. Why on earth did I have to bring my husband into my work?! My ego reared its ugly head. It was Steve that asked “is it because we are a twin flame” – I received the answer… YES it was.

This puzzled me, what did it mean, what was I to understand and why were the pieces of this puzzle not falling into place… A couple of days later I had a client who happened to be an intuitive/psychic so I decided to share the Twin Flame knowledge with her and the bizarre notion that my husband and I had to do this particular work together. I must have remarked “why do I have to bring my husband into this”! She said something like “don’t you understand that your combined energy is so much more powerful than just your own”. This got me thinking and I decided to research this matter more. I found a document written by Angela Heart on the physics of Twin Flames. As I read this piece late at night in bed, my whole energetic field started vibrating, I had goosebumps from head to toe and I received the message that this is part of my life’s work. This document provided all the information I required. It even contained some information about the big bang that only two weeks prior, I had for the first time, intuitively felt that we ARE the big bang – that our essence/sprit is what separated from source and caused the big bang. We are it – it is us. It’s not a topic I discuss with people so maybe everyone thinks this, who knows… All I know is that all this information came beautifully together and I am to share it – for there are many other Twin Flames out there, this very knowledge is encoded in their DNA. The Twin Flame energy is required at this time for our ascension and expansion into our true divine nature for we have long been separated from it.

The following information has been taken from Angela Heart’s Twin Flame piece. I have taken bits and pieces out of it for the purpose of this article. If you would like to look at the full document you will be able to find it by Google search. Its title is “Twin Flame Physics Cracking the Code”

The Twin Flame relationship is the ultimate balancing of the two primal forces of creation; the divine feminine and the divine masculine energies. These are not genders, but rather forces or charges and are present in nature, the cosmos and every creation. These two energies, who are in fact one being (for one cannot exist without the other) have been historically been referred to as Twin Souls, Split-aparts, Divine Counterparts and Twin Flames to name a few.

All human beings long to be truly seen, known, embraced and loved; to be cherished for the truth beneath our stories, knowing deep inside that our stories are only ways in which we grow. Every single incarnate soul longs to join with his complementary energy – the other half of his heart. This longing is actually encoded within our DNA to ensure conscious reunion. As we return to a higher consciousness, all will understand that the union we seek is, absolutely and only, the merging of the balance of the Divine Feminie and Divine Masculine aspects of SELF. As twin Flames reunite they become one.

Twin Flames are the very heart cells of Source, as they became the vehicle through which Source expanded self. The first split (Source into Twin Flames) is referred to in the scientific literature as the Big Bang. In spiritual terms it is commonly referred to as the Ongoing Moment of Creation. In this holographic expansion of the Source, each cell created from this union now reflected perfectly these two divine principles; the two who are one – a pure hologram of Source, yet with unique individuality and just enough of a degree of separation to reflect Source perfection back to one another in complementary energy.

Twin Flames extended parts of themselves into lower, slower, more dense levels of consciousness whose vibratory frequency literally created a veil of forgetfulness while each came to understand how to assume his creatorship (i.e. we are made in the image and likeness of God) and individuality. The twin flame energy was split and split and split so we could garner intelligence and wisdom, tasting the tree of good and evil. In this experience of education where individualised ego was intended to assist soul growth and evolution, the density became so congealed, so slow that, for the most part, the soul lost conscious contact with the higher dimensional aspects of its multidimensional self and ego became the sole ruler of identity. In a world disconnected, belief in separation from source, our twin flame, one another and all life became the accepted mass consciousness. Survival became the ego’s playground.

Though things are changing and are about to change even more! The Divine has made the clarion call for the homecoming, for love is the true nature of our being. We are being awakened from the dream theatre of duality for the encoding within our DNA for unity consciousness has been activated. Yet assistance is required. During our evolution and coming to understand how thoughts and feelings create our reality and that we are responsible for our creations and how these creations affect the whole we have created countless destructive energy forms which need to be recycled back into their primary substance for re-use in a constructive fashion. We also need to shatter the belief in separation that was created out of ego. For me 2013 has shown me many patterns throughout my working with clients, it seems we as a collective are moving through this together. It has been interesting indeed to see.

According to Angela Heart (as a great deal of the aforementioned) Source is asking for the return in consciousness of Twin Flames. This is a special dispensation for they have never been allowed to join until such a time as each complementary half has risen to the pure vibration of love. Those beings called to this reunion will be of a certain level of consciousness and have agreed on some level to restore the cosmic DNA patterns – the original divine blueprints of the immaculate concept – and anchor it in this dimension. The birth of the real Twin Flame energies on Earth is the most important, most critical ingredient to the transformation of this world, for they are the leading edge of returning the Christ consciousness to the individual soul.

Angela’s document speaks of the physics of DNA and how our DNA is programmable. When even one being embodies a new consciousness or paradigm, they establish and anchor the pure pattern, this information is then transmitted to receptive DNA within their species. Think the 100th monkey phenomena. When 4.7% of the species connect critical mass is reached and the new trait or consciousness is transmitted. Twin Flames are the lock and the key that “together” open the way to humanity’s transformation and transcendence beyond the ego – hence when recycling particularly negative energies I have to work not by myself but in conjunction with my husband! By accessing our Twin Flame energy we are divine pure light that can lift the most stubborn of energies. By shattering the old energy forms that no longer serve the consciousness of mankind and literally recycle the energy back into its highest frequency.

Twin Flames are required now for several reasons;
1. To awaken humanity
2. To use conscious union to assist in transmuting the energy forms on this dimension within the agreed upon time frame
3. To return this Earth to its true reality of rich, verdant life and beauty, to abundance and ecstasy in perfect pattern and form

So instead of channelling Christ energy, the Twin Flame is the very Christ energy – the perfect electrons, pure, crystal clear. This is where you can change everything with a thought – a touch. When twin flames reunite on any level, they are eligible for direct delivery of light instead of having it transduced by the hierarchy of light. Conscious and deliberate twin flame manifestation happens instantaneously.

So this was the explanation I was desperately seeking. It all made so much sense and gave me piece of mind. This year in particular, I have worked with many unusual as well as difficult client cases, I often pondered why I was attracting so many like cases. What did it mean about me? Was it positive or negative? Was it because of my training? Was it my soul’s path? I now realise it is because my husband and I have the combined energy to help lift some of the more stubborn negative influences that impede our natural self-expression. This is the work we are here to do.

Our Earth and our Solar System is undergoing a major transformational process which is raising the vibrational consciousness of mankind. This year has been a really intense time for many. We are shedding our “stuff” so to speak and we don’t seem to have a choice in the matter, it’s happening regardless as to if you want to participate or not. With change comes fear and anxiety, this is where we need to navigate these times with love and trust in our hearts and surrender to the new cosmic flow of energy- knowing that as a collective we are working towards a brighter and better future. This is a time when we must release the old energies of our past and all our karmic baggage. Every soul is going through a period of cleansing and balancing of old karma for this shift to occur. We are required to work on mind, body and spirit. There is no one ultimate way, we must walk our own path and follow our own truth. December 2012 came and went without a fuss and I questioned its significance yet in my heart I know we are riding the winds of transformation. I see and work with it every day and it is only just the beginning. It is my souls calling to assist in this alchemical process both through my own healing work and the Twin Flame energy.

If this article strikes a chord in you energetic field, particularly when reading about the Twin Flame union, then it’s most likely that your DNA has been activated and this information is also relevant to YOU. Great times are ahead and you are needed in our ascension process.

I am only in the infancy of this work and do not know where it will take us. But I have unwavering faith and that allows me to go along with all the randomness. Recently I received a text message from a client two days after his session which is further validation for the work I am doing. Intuitively I picked up that his brother had a dark energy form with him, he had been diagnosed with schizophrenia some years earlier. This is the message I received from my client. “Hi my grandmother and mother just told me they’ve noticed positive changes in my brother. They say he seems to have a much better/calmer energy. And I didn’t tell them about our session. Hopefully this is the beginning of a turn around and healing for him. Thank-you”

This afternoon I worked on a beautiful 16 year old girl who tried to commit suicide last week. She has spent 4 years in psychotherapy and last week gave into the negative voices in her need and attempted to take her own life. In her session spirit directed me to some information in one of my books and I will quote it here. “To the people who consider these techniques as viable modalities in clinical practice and who use some variation of the approaches described in this manual, we salute you. You are the forerunners of a new order of mental health facilitators and spiritual healers. The personal experience of the client will no longer remain submerged due to the fear and disbelief of the traditional psychotherapist” I was so honoured and pleased to receive this information and validation for the work I do but also for my client (whose condition cannot be explained by more linear therapies) and has had to endure such an awful 4 years of her precious and have numerous therapists not believe her and assume her consciousness was the sole source of her distress in which it was not.

Everyday I am learning and client by client the pieces of the puzzle are being put together. It’s interesting how I have not advertised in any way shape of form this type of “energy” work yet so many of the clients I see require this specific form of healing. Again, a coincidence? I think not.

I’m on the ascension pathway and I am here to assist those who want to come. Just as with the many other light-workers out there doing wonderful, wonderful things. We are all in this together AND we will succeed in returning to our divine nature. For it is so.

In Divine Light, Love and Wisdom.

Although I have always had a love and interest in energy healing and trained with various forms, the most significant event which was the catalyst to my healing abilities was upon meeting a Tibetan Yogi. I had a profound spiritual experience and my hands were further activated from this meeting. My hands channel healing energy and move without the involvement of my conscious/rational mind. Because I work so energetically in clinic I thought I would write about the aura/energetic field.
The recognition that all matter is energy forms the foundation for understanding how human beings can be considered a dynamic energetic system. The body is a complex network of interwoven energy fields that coordinate our life force and animates our physical expression. This energy field is said to guide the growth and development as well as the dysfunction and demise of all human beings. It is these fields which generate physical matter, not the other way around. From what is known about the aura or body’s energetic field, diseases appear to be seen in the etheric field weeks and months prior to their becoming manifest in the physical body.

Our energetic field represents our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energies. It is comprised of subtle energy on the physical/etheric, astral, mental and casual planes of existence. By rebalancing these energy fields we in turn help to regulate our cellular physiology. Healing that takes place in the higher frequencies of our existence is thought to be more powerful than healing on a physical level. So emotional healing is thought to be more powerful than physical healing, mental healing (thought forms and beliefs) is said to be more powerful than emotional healing and spiritual healing is said to be the most powerful of all. One if my favourite quotes is “Heal the soul first then the mind and body will follow”. This became quite pertinent to me when I received some intuitive guidance to look beyond the physical, it came at a time where I was considering doing another course and felt the need to dig deeper into the workings of the human body. For me, I was instructed to go beyond the physical and into the spiritual domain of our being.

Our unique energy systems are powerfully affected by our emotions, thoughts, spiritual balance as well as nutritional and environmental factors. If the energetic field is healthy and orderly, the body resides in a state of health. When the energetic field is distorted and its organised patterns become disrupted by a wide variety of influences, the physical body slowly follows suit by manifesting dis-ease. Energy healing helps to transform the energetic patterns that create the dysfunctional patterns that ultimately filter down to a physical level. Energy healing in the higher spiritual dimensional frequencies attempts to heal from the primary level of dis-ease, working with distortions at the mental, emotional as well as physical levels of the body. When working at this level I am often working with the client’s higher self, guides, angels and masters as well as the divine source itself, shifting the client back to better balance in mind, body and spirit. Just as I was instructed, working at this multidimensional level is vitally important as dis-ease does not just originate at the physical level, something we often forget.

Tuning into the subtle energies of my clients and using Kinesiology as a tool to probe their higher mind into revealing the root causes of dysfunction or dis-ease, I use energy healing in conjunction with vibrational remedies such as flower essences to shift disharmonious or abnormal patterns of energy flow that contribute to distress and dis-ease. If you are searching for answers then it’s a possibility that you may need to look a little higher, into the multidimensional anatomy of your being, beyond the physical plane.

Chronic inflammation falls below the threshold of perceived pain. You don’t think you feel sick, however a fire is quietly smouldering within you, upsetting the delicate balance among all of the major systems: endocrine, central nervous, digestive and cardiovascular/respiratory. In a healthy body, these systems communicate with each other. With chronic inflammation, that communication is distorted.

Inflammation has gained recognition as an underlying contributor to virtually every chronic disease. Inflammation becomes chronic and manifests as disease pathologies when there is a persistent stimulus. The persistent stimulus is STRESS!

Stress comes in a multitude of forms from the known mental, emotional and physical to the unknown hidden internal stressors that we aren’t consciously aware of – and they are of course, all cumulative! How we manage and process stress is of vital importance and unfortunately the issue with stress is that it is too often dismissed and not dealt with as a valid health concern. It needs to be recognised as a deep underlying factor in health and wellness and given the credence it deserves. Stress as a precursor to inflammation is now known.

Stress, the psyche and the neuro – immuno –endocrine system

What goes on in the psyche affects the brain itself, what goes on in the brain determines how you think and perceive the world. How you perceive the world directly affects your immune system and endocrine system. This is referred to as the psycho – neuro – immuno – endocrine system and as you can see they are all interconnected and impact one another. Dwelling on negative or stressful events can raise the levels of inflammation in the human body.

Stress and Reproduction

Stress is one of nature’s contraceptives and has a dramatic effect on healthy reproduction. To ameliorate reproductive and endocrine consequences of stress involves the identification and amelioration of ALL relevant STRESSORS. Kinesiology and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition are well equipped to do this, addressing things from a physiological and psychological point of view.

Stress supresses the reproductive system as various levels;

• CRH (stress hormone released by the hypothalamus) prevents the release of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) the “master” hormone that signals the release of a cascade of hormones that direct reproduction and sexual behaviour.
• Cortisol and other related glucocorticoid hormones not only inhibit the release of GnRH, but also the release of luteinizing (LH) which prompts ovulation in females and spermatogenesis in males.
• Similarly, cortisol and other related glucocorticoid hormones inhibit the testicles and ovaries directly, hindering the production of the male and female sex hormones (testosterone, progesterone and estrogen).

Behaviours that active the stress response, activate the Hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. This in turn supresses the hypothalamus – pituitary – thyroid (HPT) axis which can then in turn disrupt the hypothalamus – pituitary – gonadal (HPG) axis in women and men.

Common conditions associated with reproductive challenges

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)

Emotional stress, oxidative stress and inflammation all play a role in the pathogenesis of PCOS. Stress has been linked to aggravate the metabolic abnormalities present in PCOS.

PCOS, characterised by chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism, has many features of metabolic syndrome and can be considered a metabolic disease. Insulin resistance presents in the vast majority (60-90%) of obese patients and (25-45%) of lean patients. A dietary trigger such as glucose is capable of inciting oxidative stress and inflammatory response in women with PCOS. Increased abdominal fat is also a factor and this inflamed adipose tissue contributes to the inflammatory load in the disorder. Elevated insulin levels contribute to or cause the abnormalities seen in the hypothalamus – pituitary – ovarian axis that lead to PCOS.

In women, small amounts of testosterone are produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands. Even a slight increase in testosterone production can disrupt the balance of hormones and cause symptoms such as amenorrhea, infertility, acne and excess facial hair.

It is estimated that 70% of Australian women with PCOS remain undiagnosed. 74% of women with PCOS have no ovulation even though they have regular cycles.

Amenorrhea

Amenorrhea or the absence of menses is another reproductive challenge seen in clinic. There are three main types of functional amenorrhea – stress related, weight-loss related, and exercise related amenorrhea. Some other factors are;

• History of eating disorders
• Thyroid dysfunction
• Some medications
• Cessation of oral contraceptive pill

It is estimated that 30% of cases of impaired fertility are related to weight loss and being underweight. A fall of 10-15% of weight can lead to a decrease in estrogen, LH, and FSH hormones. This may then lead to amenorrhea, anovulatory cycles and short or absent luteal phases.

Obviously this is not the full picture when it comes to reproductive health. Other factors such as endometriosis, fibroids, thyroid and adrenal health, issues with fallopian tubes and cervical mucous can all be contributing factors.

In summary, stress negatively impacts reproductive health in a multitude of ways. Please contact my clinic as there may just be a solution that’s waiting for you.

What I see most in clinic is ties to past relationships, childhood and traumatic events – all things that bind and block us from being who we really are. There are also more subtle attachments, such as to strong emotions or appetites for things such as food, alcohol, money and power to name a few. For the purpose of this article I am going to use the example of us being “bound” energetically to an ex-partner, for anyone who has been in a relationship should find this concept easy to understand.

Our lives intertwine with another’s for our mutual learning and we attract to ourselves those people and experiences we need to teach us whatever it is we need to learn. Two people who have a close relationship with one another invariably project part of themselves onto the other so that neither is a clear-cut and separate individual. Parts of us merge with the other and vice versa and we often absorb and identify with these projections like an overlay covering the real self. These projections, such as emotions, thought-forms and ways of being, if not detached from the personality so to speak, can be the cause of imbalance and dysfunction within the psyche. We accept them as ours when in fact they are someone else’s. Energetically sensitive people have this all the time. This projection is not just a one sided affair – we too can project thoughts and feelings onto another having an effect on a deep unconscious level.

My clients are often shocked at the revelation that they are still energetically “bound” to a previous partner and the fact that they are still carrying the projections from an old relationship. Feelings such as anger, hurt, jealousy, even revenge are often uncovered creating disharmony within the client’s mind-body-spirit. It is however, interesting to note that many of my clients would randomly think or dream of their ex-partners whilst this energetic interaction was still intact, then marvelled at the fact that once the ties were cut they ceased thinking of them all together.

In order to be completely free, we need to be detached from anyone or anything that binds or dominates us, to sever all the negative attachments to people and things that interfere with our physical, emotional and spiritual development. Cutting the ties that bind help people reconnect with the source of wisdom within them and connect back to their true essence. This can free one from unhealthy dependence and negative programming. As long as our consciousness is engaged with unresolved feelings, we remain engaged in an energetic link to the person or situations that caused them. This can quite literally make it difficult for us to engage in life in the present or completely move on.

I am grateful for Phyllis Krystal’s technique and its use in my Kinesiology practice. If this resonates with you, please contact my clinic for further details.
