Love to you today! # # #

Hope springs eternal. Happy Easter to a of you.

Easter is my favourite time of the year. I don't know what it is like in other places on our planet, but here in the British Isles there is, for me, a magical vibe in the air.
For a pagan or someone who just loves nature, we can feel the energies of Spring bursting out. The land is fizzing with rebirth and new life.
There is also the most profound Christian narrative here — darkness is followed by redemption, resurrection and the miracles of new life.
The universe is filled with beautiful supportive energy and Love.
Happy Easter everyone!

Just for today (and every day), this 👇

Something we heartily recommend building into your early morning routines. We would love to hear how this goes.

Image description: - Your body is your first point of connection. So when you wake up, immediately choose to be in a kind mood. Soften your eyes. With a friendly attitude scan your body and notice how you feel. Acknowledge any discomfort. Take two or three slow, soft and deep breaths. Gently Stretch.

Just because I think it's true. And the art is beautiful.

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals.

Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others.

Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.

KINDNESS CARE COMPASSION An exciting conversation-interview is coming up in the Compassion Dialogue series. ––––
Next Tuesday I will be talking with one of the most globally influential men in the field of mindfulness, therapy and compassion - Professor Paul Gilbert, founder of compassion focused therapy and author of the international bestseller The Compassionate Mind.
A week ago I chatted with Paul in order to prep for the coming conversation. One of the questions I asked him was what motivated his work. He responded quickly and with passion. He said: Rage. Rage at the cruelty and injustice of our species. This has motivated his pioneering and effective work promoting kindness, care and compassion.
Enjoy and be inspired by a profoundly insightful and compassionate man. This event on Zoom is free or by donation if you fancy giving. Book your place here: https://spiritualcompanions.org/compassiondialogues/

Just for Today!

If you’re interested in numerology, today is auspicious!

Simon attended the aftermath of the 7/7 London Terrorist attacks as a senior paramedic, and subsequently developed Complex PTSD (C-PTSD). He underwent Emotional Freedom Techniques Therapy (also known as 'tapping') and says 'it changed his life' - here's Simon's story.

"I started to struggle with the day-to-day incidents and my tolerance levels were very low. My symptoms included irritability and poor sleep. I suffered nightmares about that day. They were a jumbled frightening mess. I kept getting triggered by incidents of the day at work and I would go into a trance-like state. I would be more there than here.

My eczema broke out and it was so severe that I had to wear a bandage soaked in an emollient cream. I had an infection in both my legs and needed antibiotics. I also noticed that I had an abhorrence for cooking and eating pork chops. I realised later this was due to the sight and smell of the burn injuries.

I became isolated and introverted and I couldn’t face going out. A friend was in contact with a therapist, and she asked if she could pass on my details. I agreed and a consultant psychotherapist recommended that I begin EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) with a therapist who specialised in Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD).

My first session began over SKYPE. I was nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. My EFT therapist explained how the treatment worked and we took things at my pace. I noticed that my eczema started to clear up quickly. My sleep patterns improved. My mood lifted. I felt more able to cope with life and my job. I was no longer triggered by sounds and smells.

During the sessions, there were periods when I had no recollection of what happened. We progressed slowly from the last thing I could remember. That calmed me. I was gradually able to remember more detail.

We kept tapping until I remembered everything and we tapped away all traces of the remaining emotions. We tapped away emotions like fear, rage, anger, disgust, guilt, sadness, grief. I once remarked that I thought I should be feeling something My therapist said, ‘it’s just the tapping doing its job. It doesn’t mean you don’t care’.

At the end of my treatment, my therapist explained that the last part was being able to tell the story of what happened. Up until then we were only using guesses and other ‘psychological distancing’ techniques. I couldn’t believe that I was able to talk about everything and there was nothing, no emotional reaction at all. I was also able to eat pork again!

I had six sessions in all. Since the sessions I have had no flashbacks, nightmares or any lasting problems. I haven’t had eczema since my sessions.

I would recommend EFT to everyone. It’s a life changer.”

Ask yourself:
Where do you live?

Are you only inside your home, workplace and locality?

Expand your awareness. Notice the air touching your skin. Know that just because you are alive you are part of the natural world, this beautiful planet, wonderful solar system and awesome cosmos.

Allow yourself to feel this and be grateful for the wonder of it all.

Good morning

This could be a member of your family or a pet animal; or you could look out of the window and enjoy the clouds and sky. Focus on whatever best touches your heart."

Reiki works.

Is there science on Reiki? - David R Hamilton PHD Studies show that reiki produces statistically significant reductions in pain over a range of medical conditions.

Today, notice with all your senses. Not everything is visible....

A blast of positivity. Just for Today.😊

On this Earth Day, let's celebrate & honor our intimate relationship with this beautiful blue planet.
