It’s time to take our recovery wheels off.
It’s time to recognize the power of the child

within.

And use it.
Compassion. Understanding. Standing in and for Love.

Hate is the easy way out. You didn’t come here for easy.

Limited space meet-ups on an informal journey to personal freedom on Marbellas Golden Mile.

Limited space meet-ups on an informal journey to personal freedom on Marbella Golden Mile. We have been asked to come to Marbella in late November and early December to take personally a few friends through The Ten Stages which are based on the principle that we each have the capacity to be our own guide on life’s journey. Experience has taught us that all the answers to life are within and can only point us in this direction. Ultimately it is up to us to recover our lost selves.

The struggle and the responsibility are ours, and ours alone.

Our meet-ups, are a program of self-healing, rests on our experience that unresolved traumas from childhood block our connection with our true self. Where we remain traumatised we act out unconsciously and destructively in any number of ways—according to the templates of our traumatic past. We heal by resolving our traumas. This healing connects us to the river of truth that runs through all things, frees our deeper gifts, and opens us up to our life’s purpose.
These ten stages are a universal pathway to healing our ancient emotional wounds. They lead us out of the darkness of our unconscious lives and into the enlightenment of our full conscious connection with truth.

They are the backbone of the healing process, but like a backbone they are flexible. They are suggestions, not the law, and they strive only to guide us within. Ultimately we need not trust anyone else’s words, platform, or methods; our own inner template provides the best map of all.

Recovery is complex. Our traumas tangled us up, and at times our growth process reenacts these tangles. Some facets of our personality can be enlightened while other parts remain buried and traumatised. Grieving, a process necessary for restoring the true self and our child hidden within, often has a life of its own. For these reasons, we can work one stage at a time, or we have found that we can work several at once. We can repeat several early stages before moving on to an advanced one, or we can repeat several stages before returning to an earlier one. If recovery were simple and linear everyone would be long since recovered, but a simple synchronicity develops and a sense of mutual wellbeing soon becomes apparent.

Our meet-ups are intended to help us make sense of our recovery process, to understand its dynamics, and to apply this to our lives. Our goal is awakening, and we hope these meet-ups, will unlock the wisdom you contain, helps you move closer to your child hidden within. Kindfulness meditations are an integral part of the Ten Stage Process.With Letting Go facilitation and The Child Within meditation taking part ten minutes is set as an optimum time limit to start.

Spanish police said they had arrested a Dutchman, thought to be the right-hand man of a European drug boss, responsible for gunning down 15 people.

Drug baron 'lieutenant' who gunned down rivals arrested

Spanish police said they had arrested a Dutchman, thought to be the right-hand man of a European drug boss, responsible for gunning down 15 people.

Spanish police said on Thursday that they had arrested a Dutchman suspected of being the right-hand man of a European drug boss.

Emiel Brummer was arrested in April in the seaside resort of Torremolinos on the Costa del Sol, under a joint probe with Dutch police coordinated by the EU's law enforcement agency Europol, the Guardia Civil police force said.

He was extradited to the Netherlands where he is currently held, they said in a statement.

The 42-year-old "met frequently with the chiefs of drug cartels from South American countries," they said.

Brummer is considered to be "the lieutenant of Robert Dawes," a suspected drug kingpin who was seized last year after a painstaking investigation, they said.

Dawes was detained in November in a raid on his luxury villa in the southern resort of Benalmadena where he lived with his family and bodyguards.

He is suspected of heading one of Europe's biggest criminal organisations devoted to drug trafficking and money laundering.

Dawes has since been extradited to France, where he is wanted in connection with the discovery of 1.3 tonnes of cocaine in a Paris airport in 2013.

According to Spanish police, Brummer "frequently travelled from the Netherlands to Malaga province where until Dawes' arrest, he received instructions regarding the trafficking and distribution of drugs arriving in European ports, particularly Antwerp and Rotterdam."

OFFICERS of the National Police, in collaboration with the Mannheim police have arrested a man on suspicion of a murder which allegedly took place 23 years ago in Mannheim Germany.

Police investigations began in April after the authorities received a request for international cooperation from the police of Mannheim, who were trying to locate a Spanish citizen who might have been involved in the murder.

On February 3, 1993 the body of Giuseppe Sabia, owner of a pizzeria was found in a forest near the town of Mannheim where he had been shot in the head.

Officers tracked to Zaragoza the alleged perpetrator, a 44-year-old man who had been born in Germany and the arrest took place Monday, June 13, in a special operation in which officers from the Spanish and German police were involved.

As there is no statute of limitations in Germany, the German authorities were able to contact the Spanish police to assist with the arrest and now they are requesting extradition of the suspect to Germany.

Body count soars in Spanish bullfighting’s summer of blood | Toronto Star

Body count soars in Spanish bullfighting’s summer of blood | Toronto Star: "Francisco Rivera Ordonez stood in the centre of the bullfighting ring, dressed in a shimmering “suit of lights,” just as his father had 30 years before.
Ordonez and his father shared more than their profession as matadors, however. Like his father, Ordonez went by the nickname Paquirri.
And like his father, Ordonez was about to be gored.
Ordonez stared across the dirt ring toward a 450-kilogram bull, blood dripping from the banderillas already embedded in its hulking black shoulders. With a flick of his wrists, Ordonez beckoned the beast towards his bright pink and yellow cape.
But at the last second, the bull veered away from the cape and into the matador’s body, its 30-centimetre-long horn burying itself in Ordonez’s abdomen.
And just like that, another Paquirri spilled his blood alongside the bulls.
As horrified onlookers in the Spanish city of Huesca gaped at the Aug. 10 bloodshed, a group of men rushed Ordonez out of the ring and to a hospital. Among them: a one-eyed bullfighter named Juan Jose Padilla, his eye patch a result of his own goring four years before.
For bullfighting fanaticos, the goring of men like Ordonez, his father or Padilla are grim but legendary moments in an ancient and blood-soaked tradition.

For opponents of bullfighting, however, Ordonez’s injury could be equally historic.
That’s because the goring of yet another Paquirri is stirring old questions about the sport, but in an age — and a country — that is increasingly against the practice of killing bulls for pleasure.
“The beginning of the end of bullfighting?” asked newspaper El Diario after Ordonez’s injury, noting that two Spanish regions have already outlawed the sport.

Deadly Spanish bull-running season claims 12th victim | New York Post

2015-08-30T09:06:00.001-07:00

Deadly Spanish bull-running season claims 12th victim | New York Post: "A 66-year-old Spaniard died after being gored in the chest by a bull in a village festival in the Spanish province of Segovia on Sunday, bringing the number of deaths by gorings in summer street festivities this year to around a dozen.
The high toll has raised questions about health and safety measures surrounding the traditional summer ‘fiestas’ in thousands of Spanish villages in which bulls are let loose in the streets.
The most famous of these events is the San Fermin bull running, held in Pamplona in July, which has garnered a huge international following with tourists coming from around the world to participate.
But there are more than 15,000 similar events around Spain every year, where participants run in front of groups of bulls or try to get the animal to charge them before leaping into specially-constructed cages.
Bull breeders’ association UCTL said earlier this week the number of deaths this year represented less than 0.1 percent of the millions of participants. There are no official numbers of deaths by goring, although according to UCTL figures, Sunday’s death was the 12th."
