Guillermo del Toro&rsquo;s 2025 Frankenstein invites us to do just that. The creature, brought into existence through science and human ambition, is often judged by his outward form - but the film challenges us to perceive his inner truth, his soul&rsquo;s vibration.<br /><br />One of the most profound moments comes from the lady who sees the beauty in this creation. She recognises not only his vulnerability but his essence - the alchemical spark that animates all life. In her gaze, we see the reminder that true perception comes not from the eyes alone, but from empathy, attunement, and heart-level knowing.</div>  <div class="paragraph">&#8203;<span>This theme is echoed in the figure of the blind man, who can &ldquo;see&rdquo; the creature&rsquo;s beauty in ways the sighted cannot. It is a striking lesson: real vision is not bound to physical sight. As in spiritual practice, the deepest understanding arises when we attune to energy, to soul, to the luminous presence within every being.</span></div>  <div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div>  <div class="paragraph">Del Toro&rsquo;s Frankenstein resonates with timeless stories like Beauty and the Beast and Phantom of the Opera, where the <strong>power of love and recognition transcends the superficial</strong>. Just as Belle sees the humanity in the Beast, and Christine glimpses the soul beneath the Phantom&rsquo;s mask, the lady in Frankenstein sees the sacred, the luminous, and the life within a form that others fear or reject. These narratives remind us that true connection and transformation happen when we learn to perceive the unseen.</div>  <div class="paragraph"><strong>A Shamanic Exercise in Seeing Beyond Appearances</strong><br /><br />Take a moment to consider someone in your life whom you may have judged, even subtly, based on how they look, speak, or behave. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and allow yourself to sense the energy of this person beyond the surface.<br /><br />Ask yourself:<ul><li>What might I be missing by focusing only on appearances?</li><li>Can I sense their essence, their soul&rsquo;s vibration, beyond what my eyes perceive?</li><li>Can I "see"&nbsp;their source existence?</li><li>Would my interaction with them change if I truly &ldquo;saw&rdquo; them as they are?</li></ul><br />Spend a few minutes in quiet reflection, imagining their inner light, the qualities that make them uniquely themselves. Notice how your perception shifts.<br /><br />This is a practice in alchemy - <strong>transforming perception into deeper understanding and compassion</strong>.<br /><br />Sometimes, once you truly understand where someone is coming from - their pain, fear, or limitations, you are able to release the need to carry judgment or resentment. Seeing their essence allows you not only to connect more deeply but also to let them go with love and clarity, freeing both yourself and them.<br /><br />And yet, even as you perceive their essence, it may be clear that they are not all &ldquo;good&rdquo; or virtuous; their flaws, choices, and shadow aspects remain.<br /><br /><strong>True alchemy is not about denial; it is about understanding, compassion, and the freedom to release without illusion</strong>.</div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.love2meditate.com/uploads/1/2/7/0/12703112/frankenstein-blog-letting-go-of-judgment_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><span>In del Toro&rsquo;s Frankenstein, we are confronted with our own tendency to judge based on appearance. <br /><br />The film is a mirror for our culture: so often we mistake the surface for the complete person. <br /><br />&#8203;True alchemy - the transformation of perception - happens when we learn to honour the unseen, to recognise the sacred in every form, and to awaken to the beauty that resides even in what others may fear or dismiss.</span><br /><br /><strong>This story reminds me that the greatest magic is the ability to see fully, to witness the divinity in all life, and to meet every being with reverence and compassion.</strong></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pet parent and STRESS-FREE holidays]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.love2meditate.com/blog/pet-parent-and-stress-free-holidays]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.love2meditate.com/blog/pet-parent-and-stress-free-holidays#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Wed, 30 Oct 2024 09:10:31 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Animal Lovers]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.love2meditate.com/blog/pet-parent-and-stress-free-holidays</guid><description><![CDATA[It&rsquo;s that time of the year when many of us want to have a lovely and &hellip;maybe relaxing time with family over Christmas, while others just want to get away!Are your pets able to join you in what you decide?&#8203;Our pets offer us companionship, sharing a unique connection that enriches our lives, fosters mutual love, and deepens our bond through shared experiences and energies.Because of this, creating a stress-free environment for our pets at home is so important.&nbsp;         Havin [...] ]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="paragraph">It&rsquo;s that time of the year when many of us want to have a lovely and &hellip;maybe relaxing time with family over Christmas, while others just want to get away!<br /><br />Are your pets able to join you in what you decide?<br />&#8203;<br />Our pets offer us companionship, sharing a unique connection that enriches our lives, fosters mutual love, and deepens our bond through shared experiences and energies.<br /><br />Because of this, creating a stress-free environment for our pets at home is so important.&nbsp;</div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.love2meditate.com/uploads/1/2/7/0/12703112/novemberdecember-2024_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph">Having your pets with you whenever possible can greatly reduce their anxiety, and yours, rather than using kennels or catteries &mdash; where unfamiliar sounds, smells and surroundings can cause stress.<br /><br />Cats, especially, tend to dislike changes to their surroundings and can become anxious when taken out of their home. Small mammals like rabbits and guinea pigs also prefer the security of their home. Fish, obviously, should not be moved unless absolutely necessary. Birds can also experience stress when their environment changes drastically.<br /><br />Yep, you really can&rsquo;t take your loved ones everywhere, and you definitely want to avoid taking them somewhere where celebrations can get out of hand, but on the other hand, you don&rsquo;t want to isolate them for long periods of time.<br /><br />There is a lot of responsibility that comes with having a pet. Where can you find the balance?<br /><br />Let&rsquo;s focus on travelling - what do you do with your pets?<br /><br />These days there are many pet-friendly hotels and lodges that welcome pets. Ideal for dog parents.<br /><br />However, should that option fail, or it&rsquo;s too challenging or impossible to travel with your pets, finding a trustworthy friend to come and stay with them can sometimes be a workable alternative.<br /><br /><em>Everyone </em>is doing something over Christmas, or are they&hellip;?<br /><br />Here&rsquo;s another option if you are wanting to stay overnight elsewhere and you can&rsquo;t take your little ones&hellip; there are <a href="https://trustedhousesitters.pxf.io/B0DN2J">5-star house and pet sitters</a>&nbsp;who are available to stay over. And, they don&rsquo;t expect payment and will even water your plants and collect your mail if you are away for a long period of time.<br /><br />I know this as I used to be an official pet sitter.<br />&#8203;<br />You&rsquo;ll be able to see, with full transparency, all their past housesits and reviews regarding how well they performed their duties. Nothing is hidden so it&rsquo;s a good place to make an informed decision and you won&rsquo;t owe them any favours afterwards.<br />It sounds too good to be true doesn&rsquo;t it!</div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.love2meditate.com/uploads/1/2/7/0/12703112/pet-parents-2_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph">From this <a href="https://trustedhousesitters.pxf.io/B0DN2J" target="_blank">site</a>&nbsp;you can actually have a reliable person to feed and walk your dogs, send daily pics and take care of daily chores like waste bin management and plant watering provides peace of mind.<br /><br />Their online reviews and ratings from other pet owners can help you choose the right house and pet sitter, and you can always have a conversation beforehand, no strings attached, to ensure you're each a good fit for the other. I used to visit the parents and meet the pets before I committed to anything.<br /><br />I was often hired to administer insulin injections to diabetic cats, which wasn&rsquo;t easy with unfamiliar pets, but experienced sitters know how to handle these situations, allowing you to relax and enjoy your holiday.<br /><br />Remember, our pets are sentient beings, perceiving energies around them. Ensuring they are in a loving, familiar environment helps keep them happy and relaxed, which is great for their health and great for you.</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[AUTUMN EQUINOX RITUAL AT AVEBURY]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.love2meditate.com/blog/autumn-equinox-ritual-at-avebury]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.love2meditate.com/blog/autumn-equinox-ritual-at-avebury#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Fri, 23 Sep 2022 07:00:30 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.love2meditate.com/blog/autumn-equinox-ritual-at-avebury</guid><description><![CDATA[It was written in Spring this year, during some sessions with Kinesiologist Martin Lewis, that three people have a ritual to perform to ask Divine to help the emotion of fear to be released from humanity.

Also known as Attractor Fields, this scale was created by Dr David Hawkins. You need to be aware of these levels to understand what happened today. Here are some levels of the scale:<br /><span style="color:rgb(42, 42, 42)">20 LOC - Shame and anxiety<br />30 LOC-&nbsp;Guilt</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(42, 42, 42)">75 LOC - Grief</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(42, 42, 42)">100 LOC -&nbsp;Fear</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(42, 42, 42)">150 LOC - Anger and hate</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(42, 42, 42)">500 LOC -&nbsp;Love</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(42, 42, 42)">550 LOC -&nbsp;Joy</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(42, 42, 42)">600 LOC -&nbsp;Illumination<br />700-1000 LOC - Divine connection / enlightenment</span><br /><br />We arrived at Avebury and made our way towards the Diamond Stone. Martin had a stunning Apophyllite crystal that he needed to place into the rock. I was tasked to read a meditation prayer that I wrote yesterday, by another stone across the next quadrant of the Henge.</div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.love2meditate.com/uploads/1/2/7/0/12703112/published/20220923-114759.jpg?1663951941" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><span>Above is the photo of the Diamond Stone, right next to the road - it looks like it's leaning against the fence, although it's existence was there before the fence...</span><br /><br /><span>Martin did a test to see what the Levels of Consciousness were. It actually equated to 10! After referring to the Levels of Consciousness scale, we realised level 10 was not even listed! It tested as equating to 'dread, terror and panic'!&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span>After some investigation and deliberation, Martin found the perfect spot for the crystal to be laid. BTW the crystal home is not shown on the photo below.</span>&#8203;</div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.love2meditate.com/uploads/1/2/7/0/12703112/20220923-114952_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph">We then moved to stone Number 50, as labelled on the Avebury Henge map, where the prayer was to be recited. You can read the prayer at the end of the blog. The prayer itself resonated at 634 LOC connecting to illumination.<br /><br />I had goosebumps as I read it.<br /><br />Martin then tested the Levels of Consciousness at the Henge and it equated to 540, between love and joy. We walked around the Henge and had a spot of lunch. <br /><br />After our break, Martin retested the LOC and they had dropped slightly to 514.<br /><br />&#8203;We knew we had more to do.<br /><br /></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.love2meditate.com/uploads/1/2/7/0/12703112/published/20220923-120144.jpg?1663955090" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><span>After further energetic investigation, we understood that I needed to do something shamanic related.</span><br /><br /><span>&#8203;I centred myself and connected. I then knew I had to connect to the elemental energy of another Avebury stone. We found the right stone, which was number 16 on the Avebury Henge map.<br /><br />I placed my hands on the stone and asked Martin to do the same on the other side.&nbsp;<br /><br />I saw vines attached to the bottom of the stone digging into Mother Earth, which then evolved into tunnels. There are many many tunnels under the stones! I then saw our cat, followed by many more cats. The association of the cats to the stone related to love. That's when the power of love exploded from the stone into the sky and above. There was a definite opening. I have to add, as I was writing this blog, our cat would not leave my side!</span><br /><br />Martin then tested the Levels of Consciousness, the Henge is now at 876!&nbsp;<br /><br />And that's how we left Avebury... humanity now has the ability to choose it's destiny.</div>  <div class="paragraph"><strong>The Meditation Prayer<br /></strong><br /><em>We, the collective consciousness, call in the Galactic Highest Powers of The Greater Truth and Empowered Justice to listen to our call for help.<br />&nbsp;<br />The collective consciousness strive to hold humanity as fear engulfs us.<br />&nbsp;<br />We need your support.

Healers always comment on how hard it is to work on themselves. I agree, it can be, however as part of my disciplined self-practice, I ensure I cleanse and balance before and after each session. <span>I will give you some easy-to-do cleansing and balancing exercises later on in this blog.&nbsp;</span>I also visit another practitioner on a regular basis to keep myself at an optimum level of health. Yes, it is a costly solution, but absolutely essential for me to do my work.</div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.love2meditate.com/uploads/1/2/7/0/12703112/published/hub-2-cg-112.jpg?1648918043" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div>  <div class="paragraph">I have a number of regular clients who are therapists and business owners who want to maintain their energetic protection and keep their energy levels high.&nbsp;To give you an idea of what can come up at a session, I've listed some practitioner specific experiences below. This&nbsp;list&nbsp;is by no means&nbsp;exhaustive&nbsp;but it&nbsp;shows&nbsp;the&nbsp;kind&nbsp;of&nbsp;range&nbsp;possible.:&nbsp;<ul><li>clearing of attachments - you can pick up energies that resonate&nbsp;at a lower level of consciousness level. This can sometimes happen&nbsp;when you are tired and&nbsp;not energetically alert to the subtle energies around you. Remember the client you are seeing has an issue and is most likely resonating at a low vibrational level. You, in turn, are depleted in energy, so it would be easy for you to subconsciously invite an attachment in from your&nbsp;client at this point in time.</li><li>removing curses or spells - a simple act of jealousy or envy from a client can end up being sent to you in the form of a spell. The&nbsp;client may be jealous of your talent and ability, or perhaps envious of the car you drive and the house you live in. It may even be that from the good work you are doing on yourself,&nbsp;a very old and hidden curse is now being revealed (through a client), so you are able to&nbsp;fix it. Note that sometimes a&nbsp;curse&nbsp;can be held in your ancestral lineage for eons of years having&nbsp;never been dealt with before. You end up struggling with it because of the family connections but you are chosen to get it removed.</li><li>past life balancing - to explain this one further, I shall use a real life example of a regular client who is a therapist and sees&nbsp;a lot of clients.&nbsp;Let's call her Donna. Donna is a Psychotherapist and a&nbsp;very gifted medium. Donna visited me yesterday, she said she was feeling very vulnerable, frightened and anxious&nbsp;which, if you knew Donna, did not resonate with her at all.&nbsp;I started the healing session and instantly saw that Donna had been one of the many victims of the&nbsp;Titanic. I could see what she looked like and what happened to her. Donna was able to corroborate what I was saying. She had recently been drawn to&nbsp;a beautiful painting of the ocean she owned in her home, often finding herself staring at it for long period of times. Last few weeks, whenever the family watched television, she always chose&nbsp;to watch a nature programme about the ocean or sea. A&nbsp;few weeks ago the family went to Ireland for a mini-break - next to the Atlantic ocean. Donna also pointed out that the Titanic sank in April in 1912,&nbsp;her appointment with me was yesterday 1st April. All these messages were being given to Donna, urging her to&nbsp;resolve the emotional issues that were being brought up from that past life, so she was free to move on. In Donna's instance, we were successfully able to balance the feelings of vulnerability, anxiety and fear she was feeling.</li><li>balancing chakras and meridians&nbsp;- your chakras are energy wheels and communication messengers spinning around within and around your body. When one chakra is out of sync, it will almost always affect&nbsp;the others. Meridians are energetic pathways in your body circulating life force energy helping you to feel strong and healthy.&nbsp;When either chakras or meridians are out of balance, you will feel groggy, run down, lethargic, struggle with brain fog, have low energy, feel exhausted etc. If you see a client when you are feeling any of these symptoms, you are vulnerable and open to picking up more low vibrational energies.</li><li>detoxing - clearing out toxins from your body built up from pollution, chemicals, drugs, alcohol, people, situations etc. As a therapist you are constantly helping others to release things. But where is it all going...? it will go into the atmosphere around you and you may end up absorbing some of what they are releasing. It's ok if this is a one off session because you have time to regain your strength and balance. However, what if you are busy with one client after another, well then you need to step up your game plan on protection and cleansing rituals.&nbsp;Lets just also touch on a possibility that you may also be in a toxic relationship...!</li><li>cord cutting - ensuring no cords are attached to anyone or anything that is harmful. Sometimes you build up a good rapport with a client who you really want to see improving. Firstly, remember they will only heal in their own divine timing - when they are ready. You can support their journey and be with them along their way. Therapists can be innate empaths, really&nbsp;drawn to helping others.&nbsp;A deep connection to a client may be from a past life trigger&nbsp;(be mindful, these past life connections may not always be from good times). Try to be highly aware of your emotions and actions as you may be opening up to an emotional cord attachment. This will not help you or your client.</li><li>presentation of a gift and a&nbsp;soul retrieval - sometimes I have a&nbsp;great honour to present a client with a unique gift that helps them to find a talent, knowledge or&nbsp;expertise that is ready to reconnect with them and enhance their work. Reuniting a missing soul part that went away during a past trauma&nbsp;helps to bring back a feeling of a more complete and whole self.</li></ul></div>  <div class="paragraph"><strong><font size="4">Protecting and cleansing</font></strong><br />I want to give you some tips on cleansing and protecting yourself, these are really easy and well proven rituals that you can follow before or after a session.<br /><br /><strong><font color="#ae40a5" size="3">Pentacle for protection - before a session</font></strong><br />Simply draw a pentacle around, above and below you.<br />Have a look on the internet to see how it's drawn correctly.<br /><br /><font color="#ae40a5"><font size="3"><strong>Cho-Ku-Rei for protection - before a session</strong></font></font><br />Similar to the pentacle, draw the Cho-Ku-Rei symbol around, above and below you.<br />I also draw the symbol backwards.

Well, what do you do when your precious young daughter is struggling to breathe or has yet another debilitating ear infection that renders her bedbound?</span><br /><br /><span>Of course, it's another trip to the doctor who is already overwhelmed and struggling to help the ever-growing number of patients walking through the door each day. Wrestling with trying to individualise every person by offering some form of sympathy, when actually he/she is just severely worn down by the reality that this now has become a 'Game of Numbers', a mere production line of self-diagnosed bodies demanding answers.</span><br /><br /><span>You may have watched the series '</span><em>This Is going to Hurt</em><span>' which highlights the struggles of doctors in our NHS hospitals. Personally, what really hit home was when one of the trainee doctors, Shruti played by Ambika Mod, was thrown into the deep end and slowly started to become more and more emotionally detached, just so she could cope with the high demands of her job.</span></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.love2meditate.com/uploads/1/2/7/0/12703112/25-free-downloads-3_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div>  <div class="paragraph">I was not open to complementary health when I was younger and as I grew older I continued to carry with me the belief that the only person who can help any illness is a doctor. I'm sure this resonates with many of you! <br /><br />Well, my life took me along different paths, my personal experience of visiting a doctor made me grow more and more despondent with the help I was actually getting.<br /><br />Instead of fixing the symptom, where does one go to resolve the problem at source so it will never come up again? <br /><br />Once I had to take three different courses of antibiotics, one after another for a bladder infection. After the third set didn't work, I looked elsewhere. I felt like a zombie, the walking dead - I actually felt my spirit was leaving me! I lived in Battersea at the time and as luck has it, on the high street a few hundred yards away from my home was an Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine doctor.  After a few days of herbal pills and acupuncture sessions, my symptoms alleviated dramatically and I was finally on the mend!<br /><br />This is one of the reasons I became a Shaman & Reiki Healer, I work to find the source of the symptom/problem. A symptom is showing us just one small piece of the whole jigsaw. I also enhance my wellbeing by visiting other complementary health professionals, such as a kinesiologist or homeopath. I like to keep myself in optimum health so I can follow my soul journey and do the healing work I was destined to do.<br /><br />I truly believe that high toxins in your body do not just affect you physically, after all we are made up of the mind, body, spirit and soul. If you have high levels of toxins in your body, this will affect you mentally, emotionally and as I mentioned earlier, spiritually. You may struggle with low moods, anger, resentment, sadness... You may feel your connection to divine feels blocked, in other words, you aren't able to rely on your intuition.<br /><br />&#8203;It's time to help yourself! <span>There are a number of ways to remove toxins from your body, homeopathy is a great way!<br /><br />Vinciane Ollington, a Registered Homeopath, based in Ripley, Surrey has written an article in the </span><a href="https://www.love2meditate.com/alchemical-voice-magazines.html" target="_blank">March/April 2022</a><span> publication of Alchemical Voice magazine.</span></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.love2meditate.com/uploads/1/2/7/0/12703112/homeopathy_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph">See the detoxing programme as a 'Re-balancing therapy', also known as 'Harmonising Homeopathy'.

We started with a lovely welcome meditation to help us to relax and ease into the sacred space created by Silvia.</span><br /><br /><span>The next stage was to select the person for whom the healing would be done. This task is ascertained by the number of volunteers and the facilitator Silvia's, higher intuition. A few attendees had initially expressed their wishes for help with family issues, whether it be related to ancestral lineage or a one-off incident that occurred within the family tree that has carried its emotional burden forward to the present.</span><br /><br /><span>Once the person is selected, Silvia talks to them to discuss what had happened. Let's call the selected person Liz. Liz then has the task to pick someone from the group to represent a family member. This is done by Liz placing her hands on the other's shoulders and asking them to represent her 'mother' for example.</span></div>  <div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div>  <div class="paragraph">Most people in the group were selected to represent one of Liz's family member. Then the story begins to unfold...<br /><br />As you become a representative, you step into that family member's energy, you start to pick up things that family member is going through. For example you may get the sense that the family member is angry or sad. You talk about what you are going through to highlight the issues that perhaps the client wasn't aware of.<br /><br />The way family constellation healing works is that the client begins to understand why there are relationship issues, addictions, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.<br /><br />I was chosen to be the girlfriend of Liz's son. Let's call him Bruno. Bruno was represented by another female in our group.&nbsp;<br /><br />Remember,&nbsp;<span>I have never done this before.&nbsp;</span>What happened next was unbelievable...<br /><br />I actually felt myself 'become' the girlfriend. I was totally in love with Bruno, no-one else existed in the room. I could hear laughter in the background but it did not distract me. I was consumed by this overwhelming need to be close to Liz's son. Apparently, I personified all the traits of his girlfriend. Believe me, my actions were not of my choosing. I was frozen to the spot. The love I felt was child-like, fresh, overpowering and awesome!<br /><br />We definitely established that Bruno and his girlfriend were totally in love and were a good support to each other.<br /><br />It became apparent that I was more of a distraction to Bruno than was necessary, Bruno had some work to do and he needed to focus on the situation at hand.&nbsp;So after a bout of laughter and exclamations of '<em>That is exactly like her. Oh my God that's exactly what she does..</em>.' I was asked to sit down.&nbsp;</div>  <div class="paragraph">This type of healing isn't an easy or simple process. It is emotional and you can feel drained during it as the client watching the story unfolding before them can be daunting and possibly very shocking!<br /><br />The shift in Liz was great to see. After the session she looked fresh, bright-eyed and her energy felt elated.</div>  <div class="paragraph">To find out more about Family Constellation healing, read the article featured in <a href="https://www.love2meditate.com/alchemical-voice-magazines.html" target="_blank">March/April 2022</a>&nbsp;edition of Alchemical Voice magazine.<br />&#8203;<br />For more articles visit our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.love2meditate.com/alchemical-voice-magazines.html" target="_blank">magazine page<br /><br /></a><strong><font size="2">SPECIAL OFFER*: While stocks last - receive a free&nbsp;<a href="https://12703112-958444986266838181.preview.editmysite.com/store/c35/MEDITATION-BATH-RITUALS" target="_blank" style="">Meditation Bath Ritual</a>&nbsp;when you take an annual subscription of a printed magazine.

The Snowdrops and crocus start to push up from the frozen ground, and the welcome return of the Sun God brings with him the longer daylight hours.<br /><br />This festival commemorates the successful passing of winter and the beginning of fertility, new life and the agricultural year.<br /><br />The Celtic Goddess Brigid whose name is also spelt Bride, Brighde, Bridie, Bree-je and Brigit, was born the daughter of Goddess Danu: of the Tuatha D&eacute; Danann. and chief of the Gods: The Dagda.<br /><br />Brigid was and still is known as a Triple Goddess Maiden, Mother, Crone of great healing powers, fire, and the sacred wells with healing waters across the land, she was the patron of healers, poets, smiths, childbirth, children, inspiration, her name means "exalted one".<br /><br />It is said that Bridget's flame was taken care of by nineteen virgin priestesses at her sacred altar in Kildare. And on every 20th day Bridget herself would be present to tend the sacred flame. In 1993 the Perpetual flame of Bridget was relit by Nun Mary Teresa Cullen, Leader of the Bridgine Sisters and in 2005 a sculpture was built in the town square of Kildare to house the flame which still burns today.<br /><br />Some Imbolc activities I love to do, and you can create to celebrate this season are to make Bridie dolls, eyes, and crosses, imbuing them with all your hopes, dreams, good and happy memories as you sew or weave them.<br /><br />Co-create ceremonies in honour of Bridie, welcoming her into your homes, speaking poetry to her. Go to her sacred places and pour libations of ewe&rsquo;s milk, offering prayers of healing for ourselves and our families. Bake some Blessed Bride's Cake, a Honey Cake, or some Imbolc Moon Cookies to share with family and friends.<br /><br />London has a church dedicated to Brigid which has a sacred well, however it has since been covered up and is under the foundations of the church itself now, but worth a visit if you are in the area.<br /><br />It is also a good time for initiations, be they into new groups or communities, activities, or self-initiations.<br /><br />Tune in to the energies of Imbolc, that of rebirth and renewal, and take time to think and dream of the new projects and activities you want to achieve and grow.<br /><br />Imbolc holds the energies of excitement, innocence, inspiration, hope, fresh starts, and healing anything from childhood, embracing your inner child by doing or remembering the joyful and happy things of your childhood.<br /><br />Article written by <a href="https://www.crystalhealingbysarahjane.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sarah Jane Dennis</a><a href="https://www.crystalhealingbysarahjane.co.uk/" target="_blank">&nbsp;<span>ACHO, RP, ACCRT</span></a> and featured in <a href="https://www.love2meditate.com/alchemical-voice-magazines.html" target="_blank">Jan/Feb 2022 </a>edition of Alchemical Voice.</div>  <div class="paragraph">For more articles visit our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.love2meditate.com/alchemical-voice-magazines.html" target="_blank">magazine page</a></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a href='https://www.love2meditate.com/alchemical-voice-magazines.html'> <img src="https://www.love2meditate.com/uploads/1/2/7/0/12703112/janfeb-front-cover_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[An extract from mary magdalene's final legacy/julie de vere hunt]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.love2meditate.com/blog/an-extract-from-mary-magdalenes-final-legacyjulie-de-vere-hunt]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.love2meditate.com/blog/an-extract-from-mary-magdalenes-final-legacyjulie-de-vere-hunt#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Sat, 15 Jan 2022 12:30:47 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Alchemical Voice 2022   Jan/Feb]]></category><category><![CDATA[Alchemical Voice Magazine 2022]]></category><category><![CDATA[Julie de Vere Hunt]]></category><category><![CDATA[Mary Magdalene]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.love2meditate.com/blog/an-extract-from-mary-magdalenes-final-legacyjulie-de-vere-hunt</guid><description><![CDATA[This blog post is an extract taken from a book called Mary Magdalene's Final Legacy and written by Julie de Vere Hunt.

Like her mother, Mary Magdalene, she was a determined woman and did not take no for an answer.</span></div>  <div class="paragraph"><span>My sisters were good students and worked hard; I enjoyed the sport and entertained my peers by acting the goat. I passed all my exams, but I was more interested in finishing my schoolwork, so I could join my father in his workshop.<br /></span><span> </span><br /><span>In July 81, when I was eighteen and had finished school, Sarah, Mary and Anne moved to Lake Mareotis. I wanted to stay in Alexandria with my father Jean Claude to apprentice as a cabinet maker. This took four years. I was in no hurry to go and live at the community.<br />&#8203;</span><span> </span><br /><span>This is when I fell in with a group of heathen friends who enjoyed drinking, gambling, women&hellip; The alcohol was the worst; I would get drunk and boast about my commissions to rich Jews, overcharging them, taking advantage of my heritage, as well as trading on my father&rsquo;s reputation as a first class cabinet maker.</span><span> </span><br /><span>I fell in love with a married Greek woman, Alexa. It was lust actually. She was bored and I was full of testosterone. And she was unavailable, which of course made her all the more alluring. We wrote letters to one another &ndash; nothing actually happened, but her husband found one of my letters.</span></div>  <div class="paragraph"><span>In Greek society, absolutely anything is permissible regarding sex, bar adultery with another man&rsquo;s wife, as she is considered his property. If you were caught, the punishment was performed in the agora. A mullet or large radish, would be rammed up the place the sun doesn&rsquo;t shine....for the amusement of the crowds. The thought of this was inconceivable &ndash; I wouldn&rsquo;t be able to face my family and my business would be over. I was so distraught I even considered throwing myself off the top of Pharos Lighthouse, but I was a coward too&hellip;</span><br /><br /><span>After yet another drunken night, I stumbled home. But the drink had not numbed my feelings of shame and self-loathing. In fact it made it worse. I collapsed on the floor, and began to sob. I cried out, begging for help from God, Yeshua, the angels, whoever was prepared to listen. To my astonishment, a light appeared in the corner of my room, and then I heard a voice. I felt an unfamiliar feeling of peace slowly wash over me. The voice told me to leave the city immediately, to travel to Rome, to see Pope Clement of Rome.</span><br /><br /><span>The leader of the Christian church? Are you kidding? The voice was insistent and I was desperate&hellip;</span><br /><br /><span>I had to get out of Alexandria - so what did I have to lose?</span><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://marymagdaleneslegacy.com/" target="_blank">Mary Magdalene's Final Legacy written by Julie de Vere Hunt</a> and proudly published by the <a href="https://www.love2meditate.com/alchemical-voice-magazines.html" target="_blank">Alchemical Voice Magazine</a></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[EVER GET THAT NAGGING FEELING THAT YOU HAVE LOST YOUR WAY...?]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.love2meditate.com/blog/ever-get-that-nagging-feeling-that-you-have-lost-your-way]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.love2meditate.com/blog/ever-get-that-nagging-feeling-that-you-have-lost-your-way#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Sun, 27 Dec 2020 16:03:13 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Being authentic]]></category><category><![CDATA[Levels of Consciousness]]></category><category><![CDATA[Understanding yourself]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.love2meditate.com/blog/ever-get-that-nagging-feeling-that-you-have-lost-your-way</guid><description><![CDATA[There&rsquo;s more than this?

I used to have a feeling that there was something else out there; surely life really wasn't just what I was living? But, perhaps like you, I just couldn&rsquo;t put my finger on it...<br />&#8203;</span><br /><span>Although I had this underlying nagging feeling, it was much easier to hide away and do what society told me I should do, than face the 'truth'.</span>&#8203;<br /><br /></div>  <div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div>  <h2 class="wsite-content-title"><strong><em><span>What if that nagging feeling is actually trying to tell you something?</span></em></strong></h2>  <div class="paragraph"><span>I used to work as cabin crew for a well-known airline. During our desperately needed breaks on tiring long-haul flights, I started seeing a figure every time I closed my eyes. Turns out, this was my first guide. All I wanted to do was sleep and build my strength to get through the second half of the flight. But, as soon as I closed my eyes, there he was, as clear as crystal. It was his eyes I first saw, his stare was intense, I could feel the urgency of him wanting me to connect. He had deep wrinkles and looked serious. When I saw him, I felt his power - his strength, his wisdom, his caring nature.</span></div>  <div class="paragraph"><span><strong>I was worried - I was seeing things</strong>! In hindsight, the reason it happened during the flights was because I was so tired, I had no energy to put up any resistance and so my guide was able to come through easily. Of course, I put this all down to tiredness and carried on with life.<br />&#8203;One day, I was looking through a local paper and came across an advert for a meditation class. I&rsquo;d seen a tiny advert in the local newspaper, with only a few words '<em>Meditation - for relaxation and guidance, South London, Wednesdays 7pm, call xxx</em>'. The ad could have easily been missed, it was so tiny and had no contact name or clear location. Despite the lack of information, I was instantly drawn to the class. Little did I know,<strong>&nbsp;it was absolutely everything I needed at that time</strong>&nbsp;and having ignored the guide in my tired moments, this class would help me connect with him. This very discreet class would change my life forever. Incidentally, I was never able to find the advert again when I tried to recommend it to a colleague.</span><br /><span></span></div>  <h2 class="wsite-content-title"><strong><em><span>Sometimes when we least expect it, the answers begin to show themselves.

We always started the session with a meditation which opened us up to connecting with divine guidance, or to say it in a different way,&nbsp;<em>your higher self</em>.<br />&#8203;</span><br /><span>We learned techniques in the class and then practised at home. We were given messages by our guides which we wrote down and took with us to the next session. Our mentor would check with her guides as to the accuracy of the information we were given - they were always spot on. My spiritual guide at the time was a native American, Sitting Bull. The guides you have,&nbsp;change as you spiritually grow and Sitting Bull taught me what I needed to learn from him and now I have others by my side.</span></div>  <h2 class="wsite-content-title"><strong><em><span>I was finally getting answers and on my journey&hellip;</span></em></strong></h2>  <div class="paragraph"><span>This new exciting path had opened up to me and gave me encouragement and genuine direction. It is here that I found my way to fit in. I wasn&rsquo;t doing what I wanted to do with my life. That nagging feeling was guiding me to teach and help others.</span><br /><br /><span>Over the last few years on my journey I have trained in a range of practices,</span><span>&nbsp;the most powerful combination came when I stepped into the world of Shamanism, propelling me to another level.</span><br /><span>&nbsp;</span></div>  <h2 class="wsite-content-title">&#8203;<strong><em><span>I was guided and listened, I saw the opening!</span></em></strong></h2>  <div class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><span>I was drawn to set up weekly meditation sessions with shamanic drumming, to support others who are experiencing what I did.&nbsp;</span><br /><span>&nbsp;</span><br /><span>I researched how drumming helps. The brain will automatically and always connect to and follow continuous rhythmic sounds&nbsp;(</span><span style="color:blue"><span style="color:black"><a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/05/160526125017.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color:black">https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/05/160526125017.htm</span></a></span></span><span>). When your brain does this, it eases off from all the mind chatter and helps the body to enter a deep state of relaxation. At this moment you can access your subconscious and make positive and powerful changes in your life. Who knows what your path is? If you have a nagging feeling, I urge you to follow it and find out.</span><br /><span>&nbsp;</span><br /><span>For me, it didn</span><span>&rsquo;</span><span>t stop there. I wanted to provide a higher level of impact to anyone listening to a meditation. So with further research, and with the help of my Functional Kinesiologist, Martin Lewis of West Berkshire Kinesiology, we created meditation journeys that resonate at Enlightenment on the Levels of Consciousness scale - this is a whole new subject!</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>(</span><span>Research Power Vs Force by Dr David Hawkins)</span><br /><span>To briefly explain this research... it quantifies levels of human awareness that we all actually embody, beyond normal everyday perception.

Can you remember your dreams when you wake up? Most times I remember them vividly, especially those that are very 'realistic'. I also get a strong inkling of what they are about.<br /><br />I have done some research and looked into them more with experts.<br /><br />I wanted to share some of my dream interpretations which you may also relate to. Perhaps having some insight will bring you some resolutions in your current life.<br /><br />Without going into each dream too deeply, here are a list of themes and brief interpretations.&nbsp;</div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.love2meditate.com/uploads/1/2/7/0/12703112/s-l-se3-gfpvcvc-unsplash_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div>  <div class="paragraph"><strong>Travelling</strong><br /><span>Travelling on a bus, train or airplane. This implies that you are going through some big changes, personally and physically. <strong><font color="#c23b3b">Create clear end goals and add achievable steps to reach the end goal.</font></strong></span><br /><br /><strong>&#8203;Suffocation</strong><br />A feeling of not being able to breathe. Someone sitting over you strangling you.&nbsp;This can be interpreted as a psychic attack. <strong><font color="#c23b3b">Do an empowering protection meditation to bring in love and light. Bring some fun into your life, laugh more! When you do this you raise your vibrations and gain strength.</font></strong><br /><br /><strong>Food (Croissant!)</strong><br />Feeling hungry! <strong><font color="#c23b3b">Eat a nutritional breakfast when you wake up!</font></strong><br /><br /><strong>Pregnant or holding a baby</strong><br />You have a new project brewing. Something you are holding closely to your chest. Maybe it's a secret or just an initial thought. <strong><font color="#c23b3b">Write down your project ideas, talk to those you trust and bring them into your reality.</font></strong>&nbsp;<br /><br /><strong>Feet stuck in mud as you try and walk somewhere</strong><br />It may be that you are being held back by someone or yourself in reaching your goals.&nbsp;<strong><font color="#c23b3b">Do a breathing relaxing meditation, connect with your guide(s) and ask the question, show me how I can gain clarity in relation to 'the subject in question'. Create a list of achievable steps that will lead you to your end goal.</font></strong>&nbsp;<br /><br /><strong>Leeches</strong><br />Someone is draining your energy. <strong><font color="#c23b3b">Do a meditation that helps you to cut cords (attachments) to unhelpful people and harmful situations then follow up with a protection-type meditation.&nbsp;</font></strong><br /><br /><strong>Empty house</strong><br />&#8203;Wandering around an empty house. You are searching to find something within yourself, something you need to tap into. <strong><font color="#c23b3b">Follow&nbsp;a meditation that takes you on a journey to meet your spirit guide or a power animal, then ask them to help you. Ask clear open questions.</font></strong><br /><br /><strong>Aliens</strong><br />External psychic attacks. <strong><font color="#c23b3b">Follow protection based meditations, ask Archangel Michael for protection. Imagine you have metal walls around you that reflect anything being sent to you back to the sender.</font></strong><br /><br /><strong>Ex-partners</strong><br />Unresolved past life issues or finding yourself in a repetitive situation repeating a behaviour. <strong><font color="#c23b3b">Sometimes registering what is happening in your life will help to clear issues. Otherwise, do a past life regression meditation, or again a cutting of cords exercise.</font></strong><br /><br /><strong>Falling dreams</strong><br />You are being given a deeper message in your dream which you find hard to take in or understand. Lack of trust in yourself. Fear of letting go.&nbsp;<strong><font color="#c23b3b">As this may relate to low self-belief or lack of self-esteem, working on building yourself up is key. Accept who you are. Affirmations are strong and powerful, so create some personal affirmations and repeat them over and over again. Create a morning ritual, which begins with a lovely breathing exercise, connect to the universe, connect to mother earth and invite in your power animal(s). Sit in this space and ask questions, see what comes up.</font></strong><br /><br /><strong>Flying</strong>&#8203;<br />Reaching out, no limitations, astral travel. When having flying dreams, there does need to be an aspect of control. <strong><font color="#c23b3b">When you go to bed, you need to ensure you get enough rest and are able to recharge your battery. If you are astral travelling, you may not be getting enough rest and will wake up feeling tired. Just knowing this may help bring you back into your body so you get the proper sleep you need. Seek expert advice if you wish to pursue astral travel.</font></strong><br /><br />&#8203;<strong>Being chased</strong><br />Running away from issues and fears, not facing them. This can relate to anxiety. <strong><font color="#c23b3b">This dream may mean that you need to clear some past life fears and phobias. It could also mean that you need to be in your own power.</font></strong><br /><br /><strong>Pretending to be dead</strong><br />This dream could relate to you requiring a little time to yourself, wanting to escape. <strong><font color="#c23b3b">Try and get some time out, a walk in nature, a nice long bath, a meditation.</font></strong></div>  <div class="paragraph">I also wanted to share what I recently discovered.<br /><br />&#8203;If my bedroom door is shut at night, I end up having vivid nightmares, a deep feeling of panic that something threatening is in the bedroom. If the door is left open overnight, I am absolutely fine. Incidentally, I mentioned this occurrence to some friends and they confirmed they also had similar experiences.<br /><br />Here is an interpretation which resonates with me. If you leave the door open, it shows you have no fear, you don't need to shut yourself away and hide from anyone or anything. If you shut the door at night, you are metaphorically saying I have fear and I need to hide from somethings.<br /><br />I do hope you find this blog useful. Remember these interpretations are very general.
