...As a reflexology student back in 2001, I had posted a question on the Association of Reflexologists forum about my bewildering experiences in discovering my sensitivities to energy and Jane's answer was like a ray of light in a dark tunnel.    We kept in touch over the years, met up a few times, and we are very much on parallel 'foot-paths', supporting and sharing with each other as the feet take us on wonderful journeys around the world.

So often those of us on the spiritual path are expected to be ever so goody-goody and frowned upon if we enjoy a good party and a glass or bottle of wine to celebrate over or give in to a moody bad hair day.  

...What struck me most, was that it wasn&rsquo;t just the gay communities out on the street, it was a mass gathering of souls, who were open enough to just celebrate their being alongside each other and to revel in their uniqueness.  <div class="feedflare">

...I have to admit that in the past I have avoided spiritual conferences and gatherings of healers because they can turn into a stage for the ego with a lot of superficial hugging and loving in wafty-wafty clothes and saintly facial expressions;)  However, I am delighted to say that this was completely different!  ...  Beautiful soothing music was playing and we were all given a goodie bag with a crystal, handmade soap, a pocket size Antahkarana, a bottle of mineral water, and a very comprehensive handout with all the information on the skills that were going to be shared during the day.  <div class="feedflare">

The new and full Moons are tame compared to recent months; the biggest thing happening is the movement of Saturn from Virgo into Libra on the 29th, a time that symbolically represents the moving from 4th into 5th gear on our recent evolutionary cycle.&nbsp;   Things are going to become much more black or white, yes or no come November, so individually we&rsquo;re all best off recharging our batteries this month whilst we can.&nbsp;

For example, if I find myself getting in a tizz and so overwhelmed that I don&rsquo;t know where to start, I have handed it all over to the angels and asked them to get things in order for me and then taken myself off for a long walk along the beach and returned 2 hours later.

...That's the hard bit, the flip side is to note that if you do something now that you like or dislike it's because on some level it represents some form of pleasure; I use the term loosely here but what I mean is it has its use in your life and serves you somehow. <div class="feedflare">

I also took Multigrains, enzymes and HERS vitamins and I blended or juiced all my foods so that my body did not have to focus so much on digestion and could focus more on healing itself.


...With all my years of experience from working in the healing world and especially with using essential oils in the Raindrop Technique, they are the only company that I know and trust to provide the quality of product that I needed to survive.

...Often I have talked about how we touch others as we move through life&hellip;how we never know how  much we have affected someone&rsquo;s life by a single moment in time when we gave just a little more  of ourselves, a smile, a touch, a kind word. 

...And we must walk in that at all times, to the  best of our ability, knowing that everything we do ripples both outward, communicating with all of  creation and then inward, as we ourselves evolve further into Light Being-ness.

...Admittedly, not all of you are under this pressure, but those born from 6th to 12th December need to cut a few losses in the first part of the year, whilst those of you born from 13th to 18th will come under increasing challenge from March onwards to allow change to become a more vibrant factor in life.&nbsp; 

...For all of you, the time of mid March through to end April is the most active period of the year,&nbsp; but viewed long term there&rsquo;s a desire to put a little bit in the energy bank in readiness for 2010, when Jupiter enters your sign.&nbsp; 2009 is a combination of structure and surprise, with the need for change obvious but at the same time with the knowledge that not everything is past its sell by date.

...As time passes, perhaps very slowly at first, each person will gradually become aware that their breathing has become deeper and more rhythmic and that they have now entered&nbsp;a completely new world of inner peace and harmony.


Several years ago I conducted an experiment using biofeedback equipment and discovered that when you hold amethyst in your hand you will enter a much deeper state of meditation than when you hold a piece of quartz crystal, or any of many different gemstones.

...All that you have to do is to direct the single-terminated end of your crystal towards the appropriate part of your own body and, as you did before when treating your client, visualize a lovely blue-white light radiating from the apex of your crystal, like a laser beam, into your own body.

...Whenever I am asked for absent healing I inscribe the client's name and relevant details in my absent healing book and I then place my Master absent healing quartz crystal on top of this book with the 'program' that every name entered in the book will receive healing from the crystalline energies; each according to his or her needs. <div class="feedflare">

...I feel my world has been changed by doing the course and have already noticed some positive changes... such as my local radio station calling me yesterday and asking if I would go live on air to talk about Reflexology... which I did very nervously this morning. 

...I really do believe that we can live in a society and world that shares, loves and is at peace with themselves and each other&hellip; but it is up to us to want it enough to make the changes in our own attitudes and lives first.

...It started to unfold out of the blue one night in 1996 when I woke up around 2.22 am (I always remember this number because it was unusual), fresh from a vivid dream in which a group of beings of light had met with me and explained that I would be receiving, through a series of dreams over the coming weeks and months, the basic building blocks for a healing method which had once been used by the ancient Maya, but which I would knit together and develop in such a way that people could relate to, who were living in the 21st century.&nbsp;

...At first I had no idea where to begin, but fortunately a friend who trusted me made himself available to lie on the massage table as a guinea pig through the testing process, and by dowsing and muscle-testing using his arm a few times each week, testing out the intricate maps coming through in the dreams and asking my unseen helpers how to use them, I was able to refine the source info which was coming through in the dreams, make sense of it, put it together and develop it into what was turning out to be a very easily accessible method of healing.&nbsp;

...Before leaving on the trip, I'd been fortunate to receive a scholarship to be used for a Masters degree in Fine Art at UCT when I returned, so until I had a clearer idea of what my life task entailed, and how to go about accomplishing it, I decided to go with the pre-voyage plan and register for the degree.


...In good health again, I continued with my fine arts project, and after two years in the studio, was completing the last plate in the series of 33 etching plates, and all that remained was for the thesis to be written, and the plates to be printed on special Fabriano paper, at that moment on its way from Italy to Cape Town.

...If the powers that be didn&rsquo;t keep us feeling fearful or &lsquo;under attack&rsquo; and instead inspired us by working towards a world of sharing and unity there would be no need for building barriers to feel secure&hellip; as we would all already be &lsquo;safe&rsquo;.  

...I had already missed my connection to Brazil, but it would save me having to spend an uncomfortable night at the airport&hellip; and I wasn&rsquo;t about to phone the newlyweds and land myself on their hotel suite&rsquo;s sofa either!

In fact now that one of his feet has been unearthed in an archeological dig in South West Turkey, it presented a perfect opportunity for our very own footreader extraordinaire Jane Sheehan to peel away the years and discover exactly what the emperor's feet reveal about him. 

...Now I'm sure you've all been on tenterhooks waiting for the concluding episodes of my neverending CD story, so I'll put you out of your misery and pick up where I left off, about to take a leap of faith and trust that all would be taken care of.
