No pushing, no extreme stuff, be mindful of your capacity and you will feel different. Connect with the ground and feel it strong and firm under your feet. Build up to 36 if you want to - don't rush there. Try three cycles first, then nine and go from there. If you start then, like I often do - get distracted - write the numbers 1 - 36 somewhere and focus on each number as you go. Count on your fingers if all else fails, and if you have 36 of them, I'd love to know. The idea is that we are gently moving stale energy (and releasing that which no longer serves us) out of the body and bringing in the new and fresh. Any clearing you do helps you and all the people around you and regular practice helps you strengthen and brings benefits to your body. The new fresh air we breathe in has the stronger life force energy in it - especially if we are outside. Inside the house, the energy has slowed and is recycling around, this is why it's important to open windows and doors. More lively energy brings you better life force. Breathwork is used all over the world to balance mind and body, and has been known to help focus and also with pain relief. (Think birthing for example.) You are breathing out the ideas and thoughts you have, and bringing in the energy of universal consciousness. This energy is stronger and clearer near water and is also contained in water, this is why we get great ideas in the shower or the bath, why the air is fresher at the sea and near lakes and waterfalls, and why we have more of a flow when we are hydrated. We are what we think, and also what we drink! Fresh is best. Have a try with the breath exercise and let me know how you get on.

Edelweiss, the song featured in the Rogers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music, was a gift today in a session I did with a client. It arrived, popping into my head, as most do, (have I told you about the Heavenly DJ?) in an extremely relevant moment. It turned out to be a spiritual healer that was most appropriate and most welcome in the space. Not only did my client know the song, AND sang it to me, but he also bought an Edelweiss flower when he was travelling, many years ago in Europe. The spiritual significance of Edelweiss is so encouraging. It stands for daring courage and noble purity. A hardy plant that blooms in difficult conditions, covered in a layer of fluff, protecting itself against the tough conditions. Used as a symbol of bravery and an award. To climb and return with Edelweiss was considered a great achievement. It's been protected in the wild, but is now grown all over colder places in the world, and for skincare ranges and medicinal preparations - Edelweiss is described as a miracle flower - good for vascular health with anti ageing properties and useful in cases of dysentary, diphtheria and tuberculosis. As I look into the message Edelweiss brings, it says "Tadahh! I made it!" to me. I see its journey through a tough space and how it presents itself, outstretched, and opened really wide. That star shape is magical. Can you see? If you close your eyes and ask - can you feel the energy of it? The vibration of flowers can move us deeply into a place of wellness. It may have traditionally been hard to find, but its generous openness, the exhilarating trip it led you on, and the beautiful energy it shares, is worth the hike. What a gift. 021 726 276 Previous post: Orange is underrated - How it can help you + a recipe
Place your feet flat on the floor and breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth to connect. Close your eyes for a moment and feel that connection. Keep cycling your breath allowing yourself to float and drift into the lightness that envelops you. In your open hand I place a golden cloth. It pulses gently with golden light and has an energy that soothes your heart. As you unwrap it you find you are holding a handful of Pure Faith, humming its song of trust and unconditional love. Put it where you feel you need it most - in yourself or someone else. Breathe it in through your nose and out through your mouth and let the magical energy of the faith caress your soul and nurture you. EnJOY. In love and miracles, Deb X Why have an aura cleanse and balance? Because when we go through life, the electrical field of our bodies has to deal with the 'static' life brings us. We collect all sorts of interference daily. Imagine you are wearing a suit and walking through a field of really tall grasses - at the end of your journey, your suit would need a brush down wouldn't it? Our Aura is a bit like that. Even more so if we are sensitive to energies. Sometimes, we have old debris in the field, or a build up of debris, and that can makes us feel a bit run down and overwhelmed, perhaps we might say we are 'feeling flat.' The debris can also block our energy centres - the spinning disks that are commonly referred to as Chakras in Sanskrit teaching. Just like a bath, a cleanse and balance brings freshness. Post surgery is a GREAT time for an Aura Cleanse, as the energy from people who worked on your body may still be with it - so cleansing and balancing supports your recovery. At any time, it is absolutely wonderful to build up your field. An Aura Cleanse and Balance takes half an hour and is $60. When I learned Reiki I was really scared. Scared I wouldn't be able to remember, scared I wouldn't be able to do it. But what happened when I stepped out of my comfort zone, was simply amazing. After my Level 1 Reiki Class I came home, feeling a little light headed and excited, and wondering if I could 'really do it'. I slept soooo well and was looking forward to using Reiki. I had homework, to practice Reiki on myself for 21 days - I had two young sons and was excited to use it for them too. I was on my own, doing the lions share of parenting, and any way I could help make that easier was welcome - a well family saves stress, time and discomfort, time off work and money too. Good for me and great for my boys? Bring it on! Unexpectedly, my chance came the following morning. As is often the way, the boys shared a bunk bed. My older son woke up very early the following morning and uttered the words no mother wants to hear "BLEEEEAAARGH I'm gonna be SICK" As he hopped out of bed I leapt up on 'autopilot damage control mode' praying for him to avoid vomiting on the carpet... and then the weirdest thing happened. He ran around the corner and into the bathroom, and leaned over the toilet making a huge heave noise. I was right behind him and put my hands on his back, saying "Don't be sick, don't be sick, don't be sick." He stopped. He gave another sort of half heave, breathed in and said.. "Oh, wow, that's weird. I don't feel sick anymore, in fact..... gee that's really weird." And standing up, he looked at me and then said "I'm a bit hungry. I think I will go and eat breakfast." I watched in stunned amazement as he left the bathroom and went to the dining table. (It was CocoPops, if you're wondering.) I was standing there wondering what happened (I was sleeping when all this started, so hadn't really got all my faculties in order) and then I realised my Reiki had switched on automatically as my hands were so hot - they felt like they were almost glowing. My son went off to school right as rain. Amazing. Reiki has helped my family many times since and as I became a Reiki Master/Teacher, I have been priveleged to share it with countless people. It has definitely changed my life for the better and brought me many amazing experiences on my journey. The simplest and most graceful form of healing, anyone can learn it, as you are attuned by the Master. My fear when I went along, was due to what I thought was a bad memory (and truckloads of low self confidence), but I was so reassured, and then I came to understand, that Reiki is a process that you learn by doing. It's an ongoing major blessing in my life, and can be the same for you. I'm teaching on Saturday August 9th, from 10am till 4:30pm in Mairangi Bay.
After my last show at The Dolphin Theatre... Elsie: Deb I have to tell you… You are responsible for the relationship I am in. It's all your fault!! Me: ?? I am!!?? Ooh this sounds serious - something happened in your love life? Elsie: YES! And I'm over the moon!! Me: Yay!! I am so pleased to hear it! Elsie: Yes!! I am TOTALLY in love. Me: With…? Elsie: My BED!!! Since I came to your last show I have been telling my bed that I love it. And saying things like 'Hellooooo you gorgeous bed, just hold on a bit longer... I will be with you in a minute.' Me: Chuckling. Elsie: And you know what has happened? It's amazing!! My bed feels like it is snuggling me back! I have had dark circles under my eyes for YEARS and they are now gone! I am sleeping so well, I can't believe it. And it's all your fault!! Thank you so much. Me: Hooray!! Elsie you absolutely ROCK!! Go to the top of the class!!! The first time I met Elsie was at a Dolphin Show. I hugged her, and she later told me that a pain she had in her right lung had disappeared completely during the hug. (It never came back) She had smoke inhalation and then pneumonia, and several weeks of unwellness, but the pain had not shifted till that moment. This is why she listens intently and practices my teaching. People listen, learn and go home and change their own lives. It's so easy - it's just AMAZING. Before she changed the energy and her relationship with her bed, Elsie was an unsettled sleeper, and her mind would jump around from one topic to another. Now she is absolutely beaming, feeling wonderful, looking amazing, and I am rapt. My next Shows: December 6th in Mairangi Bay tickets here & December 13th at Dolphin Theatre tickets here
My clients often have great difficulty transferring the essence of my work into words. It took me a while too. Why? Because I often work without touching them, so it seems like magic - which most people think is not real - and people often start running when you say the words 'miracle healer'. Other people can see the results, but as they don't have a reference point for magic being real - they need to be inspired by circumstance, or courageous enough to take that leap of faith. I work in a high trust environment. Sometimes clients just come because they have been told to. The most common phrase I hear them say is 'my friend told me I just needed to come'. In my former life as a total sceptic who thought people were 'woo woo' and talking through a hole in their hats…. I also ran a mile when someone told me they had got 'in touch with their Indian Guide.' 'Mystical B.S.' I thought to myself. I did! and I also thought evangelists were basically vultures who preyed on, rather than prayed for people. I didn't realise the steady stream of friends who came and told me all their problems, then left feeling better, were basically getting a healing from me. (I never told them my problems.) I didn't realise that things I said were going to happen, did happen. I didn't realise I was right (until later) when I said 'that guy cheats on his wife' - I just knew that stuff. I also had deja vu moments - doesn't everyone? and now and then I had dreams that happened (apparently that happens to many people too). I completely forgot about my childhood visions because of a terrible illness that created memory loss. And I lived fairly harmoniously with the voices in my head, thinking, like most people do, that they were just thoughts. I called myself 'normal'. Now - I don't label anything. I like to understand why and see results. Working with echo location gives me both. Dolphins use echo location - a series of clicks and beeps to find things, and so do blind people when they tap their canes. Through my BioSonar work, I create a Soundscape for a person, a place or situation, and then work with an idea or essence - through past present or future - transferring release, freedom and restorative, regenerative, healing energies within that Soundscape. It brings some fairly amazing healing, dissolving hurts, pain and imbalance from the physical, mental, spiritual or emotional bodies. It's also good for pre-op and post-op, sports injuries, even old pain you thought you just had to bear. It is absolutely fantastic in helping relationships. If there has been tough stuff - but there is love that needs dusting off and bringing to light - BioSonar does that beautifully. For more information on how BioSonar can help you (or a friend) please share this post, or please contact me via text, phone or the button below.
A child that doesn't want to go to bed might be scared, unsettled or feeling rejected or abandoned, and the BogeyMan (strange and unrealistic as it may seem) is a common denominator. Recently a blog article in the US asked bout the creepiest things children say, and many of them discussed a man they could 'see' when nobody else could. Do you remember seeing the bogeyman? Or being scared that a hand might reach out from under the bed and grab your ankle? I do. I was petrified, and wish I knew then what I know now. This happens a lot for kids. That man (or woman for that matter) may not actually physically be in their room, but he/she is actually in their perception, (visual, feeling or mind) and so does need to be moved... After all - if there was a stranger in your room, would you be comfortable sleeping? Moving unwanted visitors is done by house clearing. A session includes energetically clearing the room, helping you tune in to the specifics, giving you tools for healing emotional or painful feelings or situations for your child, creating more connection and wellness for you as a family. Firstly - it's you who absolutely has to sleep. Shattered parents are stressed parents. Many people believe parenting by default means disrupted sleep. What if this was not true for you? When your child feels safe and sleeps well, your chances are greatly improved. So the odds are - setting your child, and his or her room up for better sleep is going to positively affect you. Let's chase away the BogeyMan and get the whole family off to sleep.
I started the day with Drew Dudley. Which sounds weird, but it brought on a day of miracles. And I'm ending it with this... We are not here to be harsh on each other. I believe we are here to learn as much as possible about each other. To tell stories and keep our humanity alive. To love people that we don't even know. To share kindness and realise, recognise the miracles that surround us every day. I believe we are here to stand up for what resonates with us. And to give each other grace, encouragement and a safe, peaceful place to rest. We don't all get it right all the time - but what is right? What is wrong? What is perfect? Who are we to say? And who are we to judge. What's right for me might not be right for you. I know that I wish each and every one of you well. And that while I have a conscious breath in my body I will continue to do so in the hope that my loves reaches around the world and has a positive effect every day. One of my first miracles today was Drew - tweeting me and telling me he liked my phrase 'biffing people out of my ballpark' and that he is going to use it in his leadership programs that he runs in Canada. He is an incredible speaker and educator on leadership, as well as a dedicated humanitarian. I am super chuffed that my words will go to people on the other side of the world. Even more fabulous is that they are strong words, designed to create inner strength, through standing up for something you personally resonate with. I am ok with biffing people out of my ball park. And so, I hope are you. We don't have to be perfect, but life is easier if we resonate with the people around us. We have a choice to do so, in fact, for most of us, it's our right. Challenges are good too, but there are ways to make sure they are in line with necessary growth. Banging your head against a brick wall, doesn't make it less brick, it only brings concussion. Sometimes you need to find (or even create) a door. Anyway. Sometimes it's just about loving yourself. I am rounding out the night with this beautiful song: Love is easy. Apart from anything else - it's our wedding song, so totally perfect for everyone. Dance. Sing. EnJOY. But most of all, love. You're beautiful. *Don't argue with me about this tonight. I have my ranty pants on.
I have just spent the morning watching a BBC Doco entitled 'Don't Grow Old.'
I loved it. It presented the work of several scientists, I agreed with some and not with others, but they all showed me some really important things. Most important was that a strong attitude created a strong life and there was a snippet on Dr Ellen Langer's study from 1979 where she put several 'elderly' men back in time, in a house that was set in 1959, furnished with all the appropriate 1959 props - even newspapers, and caring for themselves. Some of them had current caregivers that they were not allowed to take with them into the test. It was just for a week, but at the end of the week, the results were really rather amazing. For a couple of days, predictably, they grumbled a bit, but they had to look after themselves, so they did. Tenacity is a great healer. The results showed some put on weight. Their brains worked better, they tested as moving faster, standing taller, and one threw away his walking stick. In 1979, these people lived as though they were 20 years younger and they became more well as a result. My opinion. The energy of ageing was negated by introducing the energy of tenacity and youth. If you have to do it you will. Will is very, very important and very very underrated, not to mention widely misused. You can learn how to use yours to bring wellness, feel younger, feel fitter, there are many ways in which people have used their will to beat the odds. Those layers of life that make you feel less than great can be shifted. What are you using your will for?
