ANGELIC REIKI HEALING MODALITY

'No one ever achieved greatness by playing it safe'

ANGELIC REIKI HEALING MODALITY

Well back in 2011 when I turned up for my Angelic Reiki 1&2 Course, i had no idea how life changing it would be...and still continues to be...

I will forever shout from the rooftops how powerful and special this healing modality is...

The self mastery tools, techniques and self healing means your life will change...

This is not a 'light and fluffy' weekend, it is full of love but it carries a strong clearing, cleansing, purifying and transformational vibration which will have an impact on every aspect of your life.

If you are interested in finding out more please take a look at my website...it is hard to put into words the weekend, because words cannot truly match what experiences come forward but its an explanation of the certification it holds.

Internationally recognised, if your soul feels the calling, then it will be for you

SELF MASTERY

MASTERING YOUR FOCUS, MASTERING YOUR LIFE

Beautiful Ones,

When we live trapped in worry, we become blind to the present moment ~ the only place where life truly exists. The past can pull at us with regrets, and the future can tempt us with fear. But neither are real right now. The now is where your power lives.

To become the master of your destiny, you must first become the master of your focus, the master of your emotions, the master of your ideas, because where your focus goes, your energy flows.....and what you focus on grows. ��

When we continually replay what’s gone wrong or what might never happen, we create more of that vibration. But when we shift our awareness to what’s already here, to what is working, to what is beautiful, everything begins to change.

Even in difficult moments, GRATITUDE is a powerful key. It doesn’t deny the challenge ~ it transforms it. Gratitude opens a higher doorway, reminding us that there is always something to appreciate, even if it’s as simple as the breath in our lungs or the sun’s warmth on our face. ☀️

By changing your focus, you change your frequency

And when your frequency rises, your energy aligns with new opportunities, new clarity, and new blessings.

So today there will be a moment that comes your way to pause. You are invited to look around, to notice what’s already good. Breathe it in. Let gratitude be your anchor and awareness, your master guide.

You are not missing out. You are awakening, and the more you focus on the light within your life, the more that light expands. ��

A final little reminder incase you had forgotten beautiful one, even in your hardest moments, there are blessings being born that you cannot yet see. The situations that stretch us, that challenge us, that bring us to our knees often hold the greatest gifts.

In time, with distance and understanding, you’ll see how those moments were shaping something far greater than the struggle ~ the hidden blessings preparing you for your next chapter, your next rise, your next expansion.

May love guide you, may gratitude bring presence, may hard days make you strong and may the miracles that life give come to you in plenty.

Love always

Deb

CONCIOUS LIVING

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 19:49:43 GMT

Are you present.....

Consciously living means choosing to be present, awake, and intentional in each moment, rather than being swept along by external noise, distraction, old patterns or behaviours.

In these times of immense change and spiritual transformation, it is more important than ever.

The world is shifting on a huge scale, and when we PAUSE to tune into ourselves......our breath, our inner wisdom, our truth, our inner compass and listen to our own intuition.....we can find stability within the storm, the chaos, the overwhelm, the over stimulation....we get to find direction to safer calmer passage.

Conscious living allows us to navigate uncertainty with clarity, compassion, and courage. It aligns us with our soul’s path, keeps us rooted in what truly matters, and opens us to the healing and growth these times are calling for.

Right now, tuning inward is not only self-care, it is a way of us anchoring our light and keeping balance in a rapidly evolving world. It is essential.

Simple powerful ways to start conscious living.......

Making time to take conscious breaths each morning to set your energy for the day, place your hand over your heart whenever you need to reconnect with yourself, write down what you are grateful for to shift into higher awareness, or step outside to let nature surround you and restore you.

These small daily choices gather power.

Each time you return to presence, you strengthen your light, you embody peace, and you become a guiding bright peace ambassador and force for collective and personal transformation time.

Simple, short and effective.

Blessings and angel love always,

THE BECOMING

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 21:41:54 GMT

OUT THE OTHER SIDE...

Sometimes life doesn’t go to plan... and that’s okay.

There are times when everything feels a bit sideways. Maybe you’ve had no sleep. Maybe it’s been too noisy, too busy, too emotionally full on.

Things change. People shift. Your energy dips. The direction you thought you were heading...gone, or blurry at best. And sometimes, you didn’t ask for any of it.

You’re not enjoying it. You don’t know why it’s happening. You can’t see the bigger picture....and frankly, you don’t want to be where you are.

That’s real. That’s allowed.

But even in the middle of the mess, even when it makes no sense...There is another side. You will come through.

+ And even if you don’t come out feeling stronger,
+ Even if you don’t feel wiser,

+ Even if you’re just tired and a bit worn down...

Know that you made it through.... that matters more than you realise.

Getting through something, especially something you didn’t choose is quietly powerful.

YOU SHOWED UP. YOU KEPT GOING. YOU ARE STILL HERE! That alone is enough.

So, how do you support yourself through the middle of it all...

No sleep? Don’t power through. Rest, even briefly. Let your body catch up.
Can’t stop the noise? Know that the quiet will return. Maybe not now, but soon.
Feeling lost? Don’t rush to find direction. Breathe. Ground. The fog always clears.
Emotionally flooded? Let some of it out. Write, cry, walk, speak. Movement is medicine. Emotion = Energy in Motion.
Need to feel okay again? Start small. Water. Air. Touch. Light. One gentle thing at a time.

You don’t have to leap forward. You just have to keep honouring where you are.

Then when life shifts again (because it always does) let that change, change you. Maybe not into something shinier or tougher, but into someone more true.

This too is transformation.
This too is part of your BECOMING.

You are more powerful than you give yourself credit for, you are rnough, you are worthy of living your best beautiful life. Amen.

Love Always

THE SACRED REMEMBERING

Sun, 06 Jul 2025 16:36:18 GMT

Home to the Heart

Beneath our daily struggles and ever-turning desires, there is something steady and real…our true self, our spirit centre, our divine spark. It's not far away or hidden in some distant place. It lives quietly beneath the noise, naturally fearless and deeply connected to all life.

As we grow into this truth, something begins to shift and transform. The heart, once knotted by fear, anger, and grasping for air, starts to loosen. We don’t need to fix ourselves or become someone better. Instead, we simply learn to let go of what blocks the heart from breathing freely.

In that letting go, something remarkable happens.

The very qualities we’ve worked so hard to find…peace, love, clarity, strength…begin to rise on their own. They aren’t added in, they emerge. They are not things we build, but parts of us returning to the surface.

This is not some faraway dream. It's a living, breathing mighty transformation. One that begins when we stop clinging to the stories of who we think we are. The ego gets drown out, the heart expands, and our natural brilliance begins to SHINE.

To touch your true self is not only possible, but also sacred, and it is deeply real. And when it arrives, it feels just like home.

Beautiful ones, as we release the weight of what no longer serves, our true self rises, like the Phoenix from the ashes…guiding us forward with clarity, courage, and an absolute unwavering sacred knowing that the path ahead is already held in love.

Love, love and more love

BE YOUR OWN BIGGEST CHEERLEADER

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 20:36:31 GMT

You are what you've been waiting for...

Just imagine…

What if all the time, energy, and heart we pour into self-doubt was redirected into fierce, unwavering self-belief ?

What if the mental tug-of-war where we talk ourselves in and then straight back out stopped today?

We so often hold ourselves back, waiting…
Waiting for permission.
Waiting for someone else to see us, validate us, choose us.
Waiting for a sign that says, “Yes, you’re ready. Yes, you’re enough.”

But here's the truth:

You are the sign.
You are the permission.
You are the spark you’ve been waiting for.

You don’t need outside approval to rise.
You don’t need applause to begin.
You need only one thing: your own belief .

Let your voice be the loudest cheer in the room.
Let your heart be the safe place you fall into.
Let your soul be your guide, your fire, your foundation.

Be the one who believes in you the most.
The one who never gives up.
The one who says, “I’ve got you, no matter what.”

Because when you become your own unwavering support, when you choose to back yourself fully , there is nothing you cannot create, become, or overcome.

Today, stand in your power.
Root into your truth.
Choose to believe in yourself louder, deeper, and more beautifully than ever before.

Be your own biggest cheerleader.

Celebrate your small wins, honour your resilience, and speak to yourself with love and kindness. Let your inner voice be the one that lifts you higher, not holds you back.

When doubts whisper, let your self-belief roar louder. When fear creeps in, meet it with fierce compassion and the unshakable knowing that you are capable of rising, again and again.

You are not here to play small. You are here to shine, to expand, to live boldly in your purpose. So root into your magic, trust your journey, and keep showing up for yourself, because the world needs what only you can bring.

That’s where the magic begins.

With so much love from my heart to yours,

Deb

BECOMING YOUR OWN ORACLE - A DREAM COME TRUE

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 22:19:34 GMT

The Essence of Dreams

For as long as I can remember, the dream of creating an oracle deck lived in my heart. It was a vision that began in my teenage years - a calling that stayed and eventually, I couldn’t ignore. I wanted to create something that would inspire, empower, and connect people with their inner light, just how I felt every time I sat and immersed myself in the joy of oracle cards. Little did I know back then that this dream would not only come to life but grow into something more beautiful than I ever imagined.

When my first ever oracle deck finally became a reality, my heart was FULL. The journey to its completion spanned four years, much deep work, time, dedication and commitment involved and unwavering trust. Each step brought great teachings in patience, faith and surrender to the divine unfolding, knowing that was meant to be would come to fruition in perfect timing, not my timing!

Yet the true magic was never in the creation alone, it was what happened next when the oracle deck began to find its way into the hands of others.

Seeing people use and weave these cards into their daily lives, creating their own sacred rituals, and becoming their own Oracle was the ultimate and true realisation of my dream. It was never just about the cards themselves - it was about helping others discover the love, wisdom, and power they hold within. The cards becoming a gateway to those using them to reconnect with their divinity.

The most fulfilling part of this journey has been hearing from the amazing community that has grown around the deck. Receiving messages about how the cards have brought clarity, peace, and inspiration into daily lives fills my heart with so much joy. Watching groups come together, sharing their insights, and using the cards as a tool to connect with their intuition is exactly where the light and love were meant to go.

As I mentioned earlier, my dream wasn’t just about creating something physical; it was about spreading light and love in a way that would ripple outward. To know that people are finding so much meaning in these cards, using them to navigate their own journeys and share their light with others was my deepest hope and always will be, that the oracle cards serve as a mirror, reflecting the sacred truth that each soul holds within them the ability to become their own Oracle.

Empowering others to become their own Oracle, to trust their inner wisdom, and to let their light shine brightly in the world is simply a profound magical dream.

Trust Your Inner Oracle — Your Dreams Are Waiting

If you’re reading this, take it as a sign. A sign to pause, breathe, and listen, because your inner voice is calling. You are your own guide, your own Oracle. The wisdom you seek isn’t somewhere out there; it’s already within you, waiting to be rediscovered.

Your dreams are not just possibilities; they are invitations from the Universe, asking you to bring them to life. It’s not just about hoping - it’s about believing, manifesting, and taking inspired action. Every step you take in alignment with your vision moves you closer to the life that is already yours in spirit.

My second oracle deck is here, ready to go, ready to serve, ready to reach those who need its magic. This creation, channelled from a place of deep wisdom and love are not just a deck of cards, they are a guiding light for those seeking clarity, insight and to open their hearts to the next level of their self-mastery journey.

As I stand at the threshold of bringing them into reality, I call upon the infinite abundance of the Universe to assist in manifesting their journey into print. May these cards find their way into the world and into the hands of those who need them the most, to bring illumination, joy and support to fulfil their purpose.

To those who have ever doubted - don’t. To those who have ever felt lost - trust. I am living proof that when you hold onto your dreams and walk forward with faith, they will come true. The journey will shape you in ways you never imagined, but it is yours to embrace, to celebrate, to love.

So go forward, beautiful souls. Follow your calling, honour your dreams, and never give up. The magic is in the process, the unfolding, the becoming. And when you look back, you’ll see, it was always leading you home.

With love, light and heartfelt gratitude,
Deb

Orbs & Energy

Wed, 19 Jun 2024 12:48:12 GMT

Do You Believe?

Firstly, I wanted to just share with you my personal take on what ORBS are:

Orbs – what, how, why, where: Orbs I believe are manifestations of spiritual energy, balls of light and energy that indicate the presence of Spirit. They are often a sign that we are supported by the Spirit World around us. I believe orbs carry the presence of the angelic realm, fairies, nature spirits, spirit loved ones, and many other light beings, even animal energies too. These energies are revealing themselves quite regularly now in photographs but also many can see them with the naked eye too, along with other energies, not just through a lens or captured on photo images.

Orbs can appear in different shapes and formations and have varying characteristics. They can vary showing patterns, ‘faces’, light rays, they can be different colours, sizes and when looking at their form, you may be able to ‘feel’ the different energy they bring too.

In my experience, some orbs have been healing, some show what I believe to be light codes or high frequency vibrational insight and wisdom when I’ve meditated with them. Some look like ‘otherworldly beings’ or resemble ‘angelic form’ , others show such light, they have instantly uplifted my energy just by looking at them and some have brought an overwhelming feeling of unconditional love.

Again, in my own experience, I have felt protection, guidance and comfort from orb visitations too. I have also found that orbs tend to appear in photos at times of celebration (weddings, parties, christenings and such) I believe this is when our energy is high and we are having fun, open to the wonderful present moment and spirit comes close to share these moments with us, letting us know we are never alone, when we are open and aware to this, we get to see, feel, and understand on a much bigger scale.

Orbs and energy can be seen anywhere – sacred sites, nature, at home, public places, in fact I don’t believe this is limited. I also believe the more you are open to orb visitations and the presence of Great Spirit and its energy around you, the more you will see, feel and experience them appearing more frequently in your life.

Like anything that is not ‘textbook’, this subject can be very controversial, and much is written about orbs and their meanings – my suggestion would be to take what you believe to be true and what resonates with you, leave the rest. If you are seeing orbs, you may feel, like myself, that you are in the presence of a spiritual or light being and a sign that you are receiving spiritual messages or guidance from higher dimensions.

Orb meanings and manifestations can be vast so it’s up to us to be open to their interpretation. Personally, I found at the divine perfect time when I wanted to understand their frequent presence more, Diana Cooper’s book ‘Ascension Through Orbs and her Orb Oracle Cards were a great insight and helped me to understand more about their possibilities.

Please, when working with Spirit be respectful – I always ask permission to take a photo when I start to feel the energy opening up – I also ask permission if I am allowed to share the photos, images as some may come specifically for you and your personal journey and I believe that some of their energy and great frequency light wants to be seen and shared so that more souls that are open to their incredible insight, blessings and understanding can learn about them. Discern for yourself.

Here's my story so far with orbs, energy and Great Spirit….

From around 12 years old, I have my first memories of seeing orbs and energy. It mostly happened when I was in my bedroom just relaxing and chilling. It was at a similar time when I started collecting the Mind Body Spirit subscription, a fortnightly magazine – these came with freebies in each edition, which included oracle cards, runes, tree wisdom, crystal tumble stones and other things too. (I still have all these magazines and their binders to this day, some 36 years later lol).

These memories and moments were the beginning of my spiritual journey and path, without me knowing at that point. I was simply fascinated by all the topics and loved reading and being with the energies as I sat on my bedroom floor with the different oracle card decks, crystals and other freebies all around me. I can remember so clearly how being immersed in their essence brought so much joy, magic, fun, imagination and creation to life for me. (I write more about this in the Guidebook that accompanies my first deck of Oracle Cards, this was the inspiration, motivation and where my dream of having my own deck came from all those years ago).

I digress a little, but feel it’s important to share , as the visions of orbs and flashes of light I saw back then with my physical eyes, along with the spiritual tools and the energy from the magazine wisdom gave me the ‘knowing’ that I was never alone., I always felt protected, safe and looked after, I never questioned or, doubted it, but I never spoke about any of it with anyone until many, many years later…

For most of my earlier years, being extremely shy, a people pleaser and someone that never liked being the centre of attention, lacking in self-love and self-worth, the ‘fear’ of being ridiculed, not being accepted, liked or being able to ‘fit in’ was a constant loud drowning out, so to share, talk about or speak up about angels, fairies, otherworldly beings and spirit energies was a big no go. I didn’t share my love of these incredible visitations, feelings, visions and the magic that they brought alive in me, I just always believed it was there and I was never alone. It was all locked away within.

Fast forward through many life lessons, life changes, self-discovery and spiritual evolution (other blogs talk about some of this in more detail) I fully embrace and embody my true authentic path where I live, breathe and follow every day this soul journey and share my findings.

Today more than ever, I see orbs and energy in different forms regularly both with my physical eyes as well as on camera. I feel so blessed and in gratitude every single time this happens. It transpires very easily when I’m in nature, being present in the moment, especially amongst the trees where I feel totally grounded, at home, connected with my heart fully open.

It can also occur when I’m with clients or even just sitting having a cuppa with friends – I have come to realise Great Spirit is not restricted by time or space. In fact, the more I have been open to the experiences and encourage it, the more it materialises.

I am sure many of you reading this have experienced visitation of Spirit in the form of orbs, light or the wonder of energy. If you have not, I really encourage you to be open to it if you wish.

In recent years both travelling and during holidays, I have been blown away by some of the incredible visits and visions that Spirit has brought forward. For me, it happens in a way where I just ‘know’ deeply within that the energy is opening up, I feel the energy come forward before I see it – I wait and just allow the moment to begin to arise, at that point I also ask permission if I may take photos – practically 99% of the time, intuitively it is given and I begin to take photos of my surroundings and where I am being drawn to look. The energy that I feel is imprinted within photos that I take (it doesn’t always look the same as the orbs and energy I see with my eyes, it can appear slightly different on camera – colour, shape etc). It is truly magical and amazing. I fully embrace and become present in the space and time of what is occurring.

When I was last in Rome I had quite an extraordinary experience with energy flooding in. Two experiences that stood out that I will never forget, include outside the Pantheon, where I saw energy in different forms to what I had experienced before. The other were the sights and feelings that unfolded in front of me near the Santa Maria church to the side of the Vittoriano. (Images over on facebook post accompanying this blog)

On a visit to Arundel Castle, whilst in the grounds near the Rose Gardens, where it was quiet, away from others, I started to feel a portal of energy opening, as the sun shone down through the trees, there was a particular unusual branch of the tree that took my attention as I looked up. From that point, after waiting for a few minutes and asking permission, the energy came flooding in and it was a very magical, powerful and a heartfelt time. (one of the images of the day over on Facebook accompanying this blog)

I wanted to share with you today a very special day that happened last year when I was sat in my lounge channelling meditations…the sun came flooding through the door behind me as I sat writing, the energy is the room started to change, I felt such warmth and the feeling of love just filled the room, almost like I was being held and embraced. I knew I was being visited by Great Spirit as the unconditional love that then filled the room was immense. At that point I asked permission to start to take photos and I have a series of images from the moments that followed. This particular image that I wanted to share with you was at that point you could barely see my face on the camera anymore through the light. Take a look what do you see, what do you feel? I strongly recommend you open your heart and awaken your soul to the possibilities that exist here.

The second image (which is the same as the first only mirrored found over on facebook post accompanying this blog), I wish to at this point with much gratitude, a special mention to a wonderful and divinely gifted soul, John Railton, an energy photographer - Enchanted Art by John Railton, photography of angels, nature, portals and the dimensions around us. His knowledge and expertise have enabled me to see the entirety of the image and its magic – feel the love from the green heart. Just WOW!

To finish beautiful ones, if this fascinates you and you would love to connect more with energy, Great Spirit and experience the wonder of other dimensions, my advice would be to have an open mind and a willingness to look and feel beyond the average. Get yourself out into nature and ask Spirit and the Light to come and visit you, then get your camera ready and be open to all possibilities.

With so much Heart & Soul, Peace & Grace,

Deb

Where's Your HAVEN

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 12:55:00 GMT

Haven, Havens Everywhere xxx

As many of you know it was my dream to have my Haven built at home so I could do what I love and love what i do, not only to benefit myself but to offer that safe sacred sanctuary to others too x

Well 7 years on and my purpose and the Haven dreams are continuing expanding and evolving in many ways x The community Haven is the forever destiny (see my blog titled 'The Haven') yet, I realise too so clearly that HAVEN DAYS is the grand 'Haven on Tour' which I am eternally grateful and excited to be birthing with the beautiful angelic hostess Cat Miles ...a truly amazing huge hearted friend and holistic partner....we are sooo busy preparing the line-up with our heart driven community to offer a fantastic day in Feb 2023 at the Pavilion Worthing overlooking the Sea....see other posts on my facebook page if you would like to come and feel like sunshine, it is definitely not to be missed.

The main purpose of this post is to say thank you...thank you with love to each and everyone of you - you inspire me to keep the HAVEN alive (it is part of me) and I'm blown away by hearing so many of you have created your own 'Havens' and that mine has inspired you to bring to life your own.

It's fantastic to hear there are Havens everywhere dedicated to your very own sacred sanctuaries where you can go to connect, rest, feel good, or just be x Your Haven may be part of you not even a physical place, an internal sanctuary don't forget x

Incredible

I wanted to share how important it can be in our lives to have 'haven' places, moments, times whether it be in your home, where you work, where you spend your time.. can be areas no matter how small or large that inspire you, that make you feel grounded, good, balanced, that bring together everything that you love....by doing this you create a space a 'haven' where you will want to be, where you want to spend time and this is such a blessed and powerful thing especially in how it makes you feel, how you wish to live and where you really truly want to spend your time (and shows you clearly where you do not).

Help or Hinderance

Human Ego or Universal Guidance?

I was asked for guidance and my opinion around the following subject...

"How do you motivate yourself to do your work/studies/create when you set aside the time, but you do everything other than what you set out to do?"

It interested me that I was asked for guidance which is why I felt strongly to share my response, because it is a topic that at times I have really struggled to manage.

In my experience, and I am by no means an expert on any level, something to get to grips with...almost like a journey where you set out on a voyage of discovery...

My findings have led me to believe and understand that Debra 'Procrastination' Parrott, as she had referred to herself, does best to surrender to the flow, let all control go when it comes to this. Of course I make action plans and have structured goals and guidelines for myself and my work, but I do not lose sleep over them anymore nor give myself such a hard time for not getting something done. This certainly was not always the case!

Some days I would have an action list as long as my arm, and I would spend the best part of the day doing everything but cracking on with that action list. Other days I would get everything done and more...go figure. I used to get upset, frustrated or irritated with myself for "wasting" time doing "menial" things when I should/could have got so much more important things done!

Now I view things differently....

I believe, and you may not agree, that procrastination is ego talking, the achilles heel that kicks in to hold us back from achieving our goals, delaying us or distracting us from reaching success. Some days its easy for it to get the better of us and other times you can recognise this and tell it to go do one to bring back focus and action and push through...
"Procrastination makes easy things hard, hard things harder." - Mason Cooley.

But this is where I found it got interesting...
I found the hardest part was deciphering if I was procrastinating or if it was in fact the Universe playing its part of taking me away from the work/studies/action list because I was tired/overwhelmed/needed a breather/not in the right headspace so I would not of been getting it done to my highest ability at that time, so was taken away from it.

I've come to believe that sometimes doing what we think is nothing or wasting time is actually giving us everything that we need ..e.g. I used to get the hump and agitated getting household jobs done trying to rush through so I could get on with my work or get creating new content, the more I tried to get the day to day chores and jobs out of the way, the more clumsy I got, the longer it took or the more jobs I ended up creating... in the end I never got my work or creations done anyway.

I realise now I wasn't being grateful or aware of the blessing of grounding, which came in the form of hoovering, or the practical function of cleaning, or being present in the physical sense (as most of my work/purpose is in the spiritual sense so the grounding is very very essential). All the things my physical body was needing to bring in balance, so these 'distractions' 'chores' 'menial things' where actually helping me in the long run to complete my work/studies/creations.

By no means have I completely cracked this but I seriously don't give myself such a hard time now when I don't complete my work/creations or action list when I set out too. I still procrastinate at times when I am starting something new, if I am taking a risk or I feel nervous about creating content which is a huge undertaking, and that's ok. I realise what is happening and I just go with the flow. We were put on this Earth for the experiences...got to feel the rush of blood through the veins at times to feel alive.

I realise that actually I get the work done anyhow, even if not in the way I had planned, predicted or set out too, so its pointless giving myself such a hard time like initially I would.

I believe our Higher Selves (the true authentic part of us that doesn't ever come from ego, judgement or restriction) is continuing intuitively guiding us so we end up doing exactly what is best or is meant for us but most of the time our human part fights it.

In conclusion, I reckon its all in the deciphering...
Is it procrastination and ego shouting loudly, taking you off your 'A game' and do you need to push through to achieve what you set out to do at this particular time...
Or...
is it the Universe guiding you away to do something else until you are actually in a better/healthier/calmer/more balanced place so that when you do get to it, the work, creation or ideas are the best they can be for your highest good...

This beautiful ones, is for you to work out. I salute you and love you.

Thin wispy hair...or blonde bouncy locks...

Old and wrinkled...or laughter lines with a sprinkle of wisdom.....

Small and uneven lips...or a mouth ready to smile.....

*********************************************

Whatever you see is your perception of me ...

I can't change that and it is not for me to do that either...

It feels as though it has taken a lifetime to figure this out....and on some levels it has been many lifetimes!

I've found to date the journey has been about me coming back to me, through all the trials and tribulations...

Miracles and magic can be created out of sadness and pain....and beauty can arise from living through ugliness....

The journey of SELF...self-love, self-acceptance...I'm ok with who I am inside and out...wasn't always the case...no way...

What about yourself beautiful one?

Of course, we don't always get it right (still the case for me...WIP...Work In Progress)) but as long as we are living authentic and true to ourselves, embodying all that we are then we on the right divine path x

Why not begin to learn and live with all that you are...the alchemy of transformation is a huge gift...so much beauty and joy can come from life's disappointments, perceived embarrassments and shames...

I am living proof of that x

Love you, love me, just LOVE whichever which way you can x

ANGELS

Fri, 17 Dec 2021 15:44:11 GMT

Let's Talk About Them...

I always felt from a young age that there was more than what we could see in this world.

I always felt that I was protected and looked after but never really spoke about my thoughts/feelings as I was a very quiet, shy girl and always thought in my early years that other peoples’ opinions were more important than mine – low self-worth, self-esteem for many years held me back in many areas of my life but mostly from my true life purpose but I understand now that my soul needed the lessons and I am grateful for the things I have experienced and learned along the way, that have brought me to right here and now.

Constant thoughts and feelings in my earlier years were…If I ever spoke aloud that I believed in angels and other higher beings of light what would people say? What would they think of me? Would they think I was mad/sad/weird? They might not want to know me anymore or ridicule me.

Well the angels and my guides clearly helped me so much during the past 12 years since moving from Kent (where I was brought up and always lived from age 2) until I resigned from my job in the Corporate world in London to have my beautiful son Jack and we moved to the West Sussex coast…over 12 years ago now, it was simply flown by.....

At this point, circumstances and the more relaxed way of life (jumping off the rat race of commuting, long hours and day to day rushing and chaos) allowed me to listen more to my inner knowledge and guidance which led me to connect with new people and places which opened up so many opportunities and then the re-connecting inside of ME with everything that I had quietened down over so many years became IGNITED, which was a huge life turning point for me in every way, I was able to see, feel and sense so much more of the amazing spiritual world that I had felt existed from when I was a young girl.

The past 12 years have introduced me to so many beautiful like-minded true light-shiners, empaths and psychics as well as the amazing benefits of Angelic Reiki, crystals, holistic living, herbals supplements and remedies, many other healing modalities including the use of meditation, sound therapy and how colour has a huge impact too in our lives and much much more, my life has transformed, shifted and expanded in such a beautiful way, and for which I am forever grateful.

I started to use my intuitive and empathetic gifts on a daily basis more and more when I took the 'leap of faith' to become self-employed and open my 'Haven' full time. This allowed me to sense and get to know my guides, angels and spirit more, as well as receive messages too for others.

Its like anything in life, the more you practice and use gifts, the more you get to experience or find easier as time goes on. I am aware of spirit, angels and higher beings around me every day and so much more during times of healing experiences with clients, during meditations, out in nature, and when living in the present from my 'Higher Self' essence.

We are all unique so will see, feel, understand and receive different experiences so you may be aware of the angels, guides and higher beings of light in a completely different way to me or other people and that would be perfectly normal, but if you are open to these and trust your inner wisdom what is comfortable with you, then the connection will happen at the perfect time.

All I know is that when the angels and my guides are present, there is an overwhelming warm, radiating feeling of love, peace and protection with me. A much higher power in place.

Much of what we see and hear about angels comes from books, movies, TV and there is much debate about whether angels are real, what they do, what they look like etc. I can only write and speak of my experiences and from what I know. I do not personally see angels in the form of how they are depicted in artwork and paintings with wings and halos, up until now I see them in the way that works with me and how I have come to be aware of their presence, which is in the form of energy and moving swirls of colours and light as well as “orbs” and during meditations I can “see” and “feel” the energy of the guides and spirits differently too. (more information on this another time).

I do believe that the pictures and paintings that have become so well known represent the pure amazing level of light they hold which we may only be able to comprehend as wings and halos, but that is what I feel is right.

I believe that connecting and working with our angels is a true blessing and if your intention is always one of 100% love, light, and coming from integrity and you do not misuse their powers and gifts, you will always have beautiful and guided experiences with them.

INTENTION IS EVERYTHING!

And remember…we have to ask for their support, guidance and help, it is free will. They cannot only help us with healing, protection and inspiration but I believe they also open up lots of opportunities and experiences which helps on all levels, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Are you ready to ask for their help? And meet your angels and guides and discover ways of connecting and working with them? If the answer is YES, you may wish to come encounter Angelic Reiki whether it be a personal 1:1 or have an entire weekend with me in their presence.

Your beliefs, views and opinions on this subject will be very personal and right for you and this is how it should be. If you do not agree with anything I have written, understand my experiences and do not wish to know more, then that is perfectly ok. I respect your choices.

I continue to live in gratitude every single day living and loving what I do. My journey with my guides and angels is continually evolving and growing and the more I flow with it, the more I am shown and feel.

Part of my purpose and journey is to assist others in 'opening the door' to meet their own guides and angels, so If I can help or assist you in any way, please free feel to reach out to me.

Angel love, peace and light to you beautiful ones, now and always

ASCENSION

Tue, 14 Sep 2021 15:31:09 GMT

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR US?

WHAT IS ‘ASCENSION’?

Spiritual ascension is the expansion of consciousness. Can be known as spiritual awakening and/or sometimes called enlightenment.

It is a natural evolutionary process which involves the process of shedding the old Self and experiencing a huge shift…almost like a ‘re-birth’. Many people speak about spiritual ascension like going through an ‘upgrade’ or as a feeling as though they are being ‘re-booted’ or ‘re-programmed’.

Spiritual ascension comes about in life when we are reaching new heights and transcending old limiting habits, beliefs, mindsets, and ways of being. Our energy, auric fields and whole vibration becomes lighter as our thoughts, beliefs around our reality, as well as our outlook, takes on a whole new meaning and understanding too.

The ascension process mostly happens in stages, in layers, whereby we get the chance to adjust to the energetic changes as well as those upgrades and light that is coming to us.

As we ascend, we realise everything that exists is interconnected to the whole. We are all ONE.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN DURING THIS TIME…

When we undergo a spiritual awakening (there can be many throughout our lifetime), we literally ‘WAKE UP’ to life.

It is not unusual at that point to question everything from habits, social conditioning, the work we have been doing, the people who we are around, our purpose in life. We also at this point might feel that ‘inner drive’ or ‘knowing’ steering us to other ways and living, seeing and feeling that there is so much more to life than what we have been taught to date.

Some souls during this time can feel as though they are being elevated in vibrational frequency (an expansion of mind, body and soul). For others, it can feel almost the opposite.

For some, the adjustment as it happens can be very uncomfortable. This is referred to as ‘Ascension Symptoms’…these can occur because of holding onto resistance, to change to ‘comfortable and familiar’ limitations and blockages.

For those of us that are very sensitive and empathic, who ‘feel’ everything, the ascension process can be very challenging indeed. Ascension can cause emotional trauma to get ‘stuck’ in our energy fields – this needs regular and relevant clearing and releasing, otherwise, when it happens, it may physically slow us down in order that the density to be cleared – this can very much be ‘felt’.

On the brighter side, once cleared, we are opening up space for much higher, lighter consciousness to enter.

WHY DO THEY HAPPEN…

Spiritual awakenings happen as a natural product of our soul evolving, expanding, transcending, and maturing. Just as everything in life grows, so too does our connection with our soul (Higher Self).

The more we connect on a soul level (whether accidentally or intentionally), the more we experience TRANSFORMATION. The more we get to embody the soul, the more we get to live true lasting joy, peace, fulfilment, freedom, and LOVE on all levels.

As mentioned in my earlier blog back in Jan 2021 (link is: https://www.beautifullife.co.uk/ascension-awakening ), if any of the physical symptoms persist and you are worried about your health, or if you feel poorly, it is always advisable to check symptoms and go see a GP or Medical Practitioner for further advice.

A whole range of symptoms/feelings can include all or some of those that are listed on my Jan blog, as well as these below (there can be many many other ranges of changes too):

Body aches & pains
Emotional outbursts
Unusual sleep patterns
Headaches/Neck pain
Physical disorientation/dizzy/confusion
Zero tolerance to negativity
Seeing/feeling/hearing sounds/energies - psychic abilities opening up (accessing other realms)
Feeling alone or highly emotional, tearful, sad
Losing track of time (timeline changes from 3d to 5th dimension)
Being made aware of signs from Higher Realms (number sequences/feathers/coins/synchronicity
Feeling fearful or opposite, feeling very strong and courageous
Entire transformation (like you are no longer same person you were)
Wanting to change external situations
Needing to change career/purpose/drive
Intense dreams, lack of sleep or exhaustive, unable to get up
Feeling more forgiving, giving, longing, hopeful, at one
Increased clarity
Body detox - wanting to transition to highly nutritious food/drinks
Seeking time with oneself
Needing to meditate/be mindful
Desire to practice healing modalities
A sense of deeper purpose and drive
Epiphanies
Called to nature
Sense that something 'big' is about to happen
Withdrawing from drama and chaos
Longing for a simple and happy life

There are also helpful ways given to help us move through the transitions:

Go out in nature
Meditate/practice mindfulness
High vibration music/sound therapy/instruments
Find your soul tribe/like-minded family/friends
Avoid chaos/drama/low vibration environments
Limit watching the news/violence/horror
Enjoy creating (dance/bake/walk/sing/move/draw) - any form of creativity
Exercise including yoga or Pilates, stretching, swimming
Change your diet to highly nutritional foods, drinks - limit sugar/alcohol etc
Read inspirational books or find inspirational and motivating people
Raise your vibration in all ways
Use crystals/essential oils/natural herbs or holistic practices
Try acupuncture/healing/reflexology/reflection/reiki/massage

There are many other helpful ways - why not start today at researching and using your inner guidance to help show you. If not, please reach out to myself or any other holistic practitioners/healers to assist you now.

It is time to RISE beautiful ones. Humanity needs us. Let us find our way into more light.

With love, light, blessings and abundance always

ITS ALL IN THE NAME

Fri, 10 Sep 2021 20:51:11 GMT

THE MEANING WITHIN

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR NAME?

Your name has power.

Your name is sacred.

Your name runs deep.

Your name carries an impact.

Your name carries such connection, a sense of who you are.

Your name has such meaning from that very moment you are born. The syllables carry a resonance. The sound is not only powerful to the ear when your name is spoken, but the letters carry a powerful vibration as well as the tone too.

Your surname links hereditary, ancestral line and your personal identity.

The power of your birth name is HUGE (even if you do not take that name today).

Like many others, I believe the moment we are born has been divinely orchestrated and planned to the finest point – not only taking into consideration the numerology, astrological sides, but on every level.

The reason for my blog….I want to share something with you beautiful ones…

I was born Debra Parrott. It was not until my 30’s, when I married, that I changed my name. I never liked my given birth name.

I liked Debbie, but when I was called Debra, my memory was flooded with long school days where teachers formally addressed me in front of the entire class.

My surname…………well that was a whole new ballgame………………in my younger years, I was embarrassed of it. I would go out of my way not to refer to my surname in any situation, especially with new people. At school, (again like many others) I was named called and on the receiving end of lots of jokes. I really began to like it less and less.

At the same time, I was not loving me, so many elements of both my name, and myself I disliked. IT STUCK with me for years, like glue.

When I married, it felt like a huge relief to change my surname, albeit much underlying self-transformational work was still to be done (other blogs touch on this part of my life journey, if you are interested).

Fast forwarding to the here and now, my life has evolved a lot…and since my divorce (a few years back) I have moved through much self-discovery and personal healing.

Some of this healing has been around connecting back to my power, the importance of my soul calling, my mission and my purpose here. The self- realisation that I must honour and own WHO I AM.

The more I write of my personal experiences, as well as the channellings that are given from my Guides and the Angelic Realm, the more I feel and see the powerful teachings being grounded and anchored for me on my life journey.

Equally important and relevant, I am shown how the Universe wants these learnings to be shared with you beautiful ones …passing forward and highlighting the bigger picture and perspective (that may/or may not) become a relevant aspect of your life in some way, shape or form.

My given name Debra Parrott is where I reside. I do not shy away from the WHOLE me anymore.

As I finish this blog, may I put forward the following statements for you to consider beautiful ones:

· What feelings and effects does your given birth name create for you?

· Do you ‘own’ who you are?

· Are you wholly and truly being who you were born to be?

· Are you proud and empowered of who you are?

Don’t hide beautiful ones, don’t play small. I know in the past I have, and it is ok. No regrets.

I see the role I am here to fulfil, and I am walking my path with my heart open and connected to achieving this. I am happy owning who I am. My name is such a huge magical powerful part of me and I am pleased I have found inner peace with that.

I highly recommend looking further into the spiritual meaning of your name, your numerology and astrological chart – it continues to fascinate me, as well as help me understand more about myself on a human, physical level but on a soul level too.

May your name lead you home.

Incidentally, if you are interested, ‘Parrot’ spirit is:

“Symbolic of truth telling…speaking from the centre of the heart. As Parrot speaks back to you the words you have spoken, you hear your own words with no filter. This is a powerful reflection of self, as you are able to recognise the truth of your own words and what you are communicating or you will be reminded of the secrets you are keeping, or the untruths that are being told.

Parrot is a great teacher of communication and brings guidance and assistance in your ability to communicate that which you really feel.”

Parrots represent the 'Law of Praise' - called to speak the truth and speak with love.

Ironic, as I was born ‘tongue-tied’, was shy beyond belief as a child and huge people pleaser who never spoke up or stood up for myself, hid my opinions and truths for fear of being disliked or rejected! LIFE shows us what we need to work with, that’s for sure.

I hope you can take from this blog all that you need.

May your path be illuminated in love, light, truth and peace always,

Deb

Life Is Beautiful

Fri, 03 Sep 2021 16:18:14 GMT

Although it may not always feel like it!

Life does not always feel beautiful...FACT

Today I woke up with feelings of dread, fears arising (some I could understand, some no idea where they were coming from), feeling exhausted, in limbo, stuck and the rest...

Beautiful ones, can any of you relate?

How is your energy right now?

Are you struggling?

Do you feel like you are wading through mud? Or are you feeling balanced, in alignment?

Do you feel like yor going nowhere fast or back to start line?

Mostly, I am good at shifting my energy as well as having an understanding what is mine or not...I am an empath, so if you are too, like me, you will equally feel the collective energies as well as we move through planetary shifts and vibrations.

I rely on using my trusty holistic tools I have in my belt for getting to grips at living in this 'overcoat' that is the human body (which as most of us know can bring massive challenges at times) but today no entry, STOP woooooooooo, its like moving through the thickest fog with no let up

•The fear is strong

•The uncertainty is real

•The overthinking is rife

•The 'what if's' were in full motion

I did everything in my power to shift it all, knowing deep down inside its all illusion and my ego was feeling 'on top form' wanting to play me up BIG time...but still knowing all this, and the fact that energetically the world has been in a very difficult , dark and dense place...everything come to the forefront ....it wouldn't go away...all of this by 7am!!!

Sooooo I got up and did all and more of what mostly brings me back to balance, some of which included:

~putting my tunes on loud

~setting my daily intentions for the day

~lighting candles, incense, aura sprays all on

~ using my powerful mantras

~the normal morning routines

Nothing, not one thing was moving the feeling of dread....

Now I accept like many of us, I do have a lot of change and transitions going on in my life and its not all happy, skip, hop, jump right now and nor will it be like that continously anyway because the Universe doesn't work like that....

The Universe gives us what we need not necessarily what we want right???!!! But that's enough there for another entire post...

I've got to know me and my ways very well through the lessons, challenges and teachings thrown my way over past 45 years but nothing, nada would break down the great huge brick wall that was caving in this morning.... I had to accept I felt crappy, nervy and on edge and I wasn't leaving so I had to crack on with it it tow...

I got ready and drove to meet a like-minded soul friend (you know who you are superstar) and we went for a cuppa and chat as planned before our day ahead schedules kicked in....

After literally 20mins of just sitting and talking and listening to one another, the illusions, the huge brick wall and the uncomfortable stuck energies had begun to shift, drifting slowly away...mostly transmuted so it wasn't so 'in my face'...

By 10am not only thinking about facing the day , the commitments that I had to push forward with, felt more reachable, possible and infact a glimmer of light starting to shine from within once more.

For those of you who know me, who follow my posts, who come to my groups, or who share the like-minded values and ways I do, will know I am very 'real', 'down to earth' and I say it how it is...and as much as I love sharing the positive, light, love filled inspired messages because they motivate and assist us on our journey, it is also important to share the posts like this too, because they too may be helpful to someone, sometime.

I am a very optimistic, open, emotional, giving and loving soul who truly believes and trusts in my path...I practice self love, self care, self acceptance daily and move with the flow of life, but some days I feel the density, the pain, the fear, the worry and have the weight of the planet on my shoulders or in my heart and its ok, because it happens.

So beautiful ones, when you feel like I did earlier today, it's OK. Honour yourself and accept that is how it is...those moments will pass, even if you feel like they won't...

If the tools you have aren't working to support you in that very moment, go do something else until it passes and even if in the background the uncertainty or energies remain stuck, then trust in yourself and be compassionate and kind to you until the FLOW comes back to balance, to harmony where you can sigh a breath of relief and realise that actually you are more than ok.

Finally, just to say you are amazing, even when you can't see or feel it...you are alive (pure light and energy living in a human body) and if you look at that in any detail...that in itself is a MIRACLE.

THANK YOU & GOODBYE

Tue, 31 Aug 2021 16:43:41 GMT

Nothing Lasts Forever...Change Can Help Us On Our Path

GOODBYE AND THANK YOU

So today I said goodbye to Haven II ....it was always going to be a short time there. It was so much more than I could ever have known.

Loved every minute, the energy, the people who came and shared their light, the space and the teachings that I have learned.

☆ Life is constantly changing and we have to adapt and go with it or get left behind holding on to something that no longer exists. Easy to stay in comfort zone.

☆ When you get out of your mind and into your heart (not listening to monkey mind or the fear but feeling and following the love) you can enjoy new places, and ways, which in turn can bring challenges but equally incredible gifts.

☆ When you want something to happen and throw everything into it, it can become something quite amazing.

☆From nothing sometimes comes everything.

☆ When the future is not clear, take a breather, trust your supported by the Universe and of course the angels and listen and wait for the signs to move again.

☆Be open to the unlimited possibilities that is always available.

Wanted to share with you beautiful ones a snippet of the magic that was made....the final few photos 'as if I was never there'. feature on my facebook page..but I know for a fact the light and energy of that wonderful building is better from the love and healing it received.

I look forward with joy in my heart and a smile on my face for the surprises, miracles and wonder that awaits the next part of the Haven's journey.

Until then I will be in touch with information regarding location for forthcoming groups, 1:1s and training.

Tomorrow I'm totally having ice cream, tea, cake and bank holiday shenanigans in the sun on the beach from start to finish ... the past 3 days moving furniture and the entire Haven has been full on.

With love always

SOUND THERAPY

Wed, 25 Aug 2021 14:51:05 GMT

CRYSTAL SINGING BOWLS

I LOVE SOUND THERAPY….why I hear you ask?... there really are so many reasons, some of which, I include within this blog as to what personally I have gained from allowing and opening up to the frequency and vibration of the ‘Singing Bowls’ into my life.

Sound therapy ranges with so many instruments including tuning forks, chimes, gong, singing bowls to name a few. Sound therapy combined with deep self-reflective techniques will assist wellbeing and has been proved to improve health in many ways when it is played in therapeutic ways.

Today I concentrate on ‘Singing Bowls’….there are many wonderful articles out there via the internet covering the difference between Tibetan Bowls and Crystal Bowls, so I will not cover that here, but I will say I have experienced the energy and dynamics of both and thoroughly enjoyed and got so much from them all.

I highly recommend letting yourself experience a ‘Sound Bath’ at some point in your life, an opportunity for you to ‘see’ and ‘feel’ for yourself exactly what sound can bring into your world.

I feel blessed to have my own set of frosted Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls for a while now, starting off with one (with them quickly multiplying to a full chakra set).

It is believed that Crystal Bowls produce a vibrational sound that reasonate with the chakras of your body, as well as communicating vibrationally with all areas of the body bringing an ‘altered state of consciousness’ creating harmony and balance of the mind, body and soul. I fully agree with this on every level.

The Bowls compliment all healing modalities and go hand in hand with meditation too, which is how I’ve come to ‘feel’ their presence when holding small sacred sessions with soul tribe and friends.

The other benefits of Singing Bowls can include:

· Enhancing mental and emotional clarity

· Space clearing - shifting negative or imbalanced energies within home/space/work and within your body too

· Can support health and wellbeing including nervous system, circulatory system, adrenals.

· Deeply relaxing, works wonders with any form of meditation or holistic practice

· Can assist in reducing stress, anxiety and trauma

· Corresponds with the chakras so enhances their efficiency and frequency

· Restores and harmonises the vibratory frequency of the mind, body and soul

The first time I attended a ‘Sound Bath’ I very quickly expanded my energy field far outside of what I have ever experienced before and understood completely what is ‘felt’ like to come totally from Higher Self and allow myself to experience all possibilities and limitless space and time. It was incredible. I knew then Sound would be part of my purpose and life going forward.

I have recently been blessed to be able to get to know the wonders of ‘Alchemy Crystal Signing Bowls’ they begin like their family of frosted quartz but are amplified with additions which open up to produce amazing energy potency, power, beauty and eloquence. I have two of these to date and know that these are likely to multiple in my life, as will the addition of ‘Gongs’ which I’m very excited to explore too.

Beautiful Ones, if any of you are considering sound to help and enhance your life, or you wish to expand your healing practice with sound as a therapy, I say don’t hesitate…go for it.

The Ancient ones of many eons ago used sound and this is coming forward more and more for humanity, helping us to raise our consciousness and open doors to infinite possibilities.

My journey with sound is only just getting going, I look forward to sharing with you more as I grow, learn and tap into its divine wisdom, flow and vibration.

Blessings one and all.

LIBYAN GOLD TEKTITE

Wed, 03 Mar 2021 17:26:18 GMT

They Say Crystals Find You...

They say crystals find their way to you and that was definitely the case with this Libyan Gold Tektite (although technically not called a crystal)...

I has been looking for the perfect unusual one off crystal ring for years...tried many, loved many I saw but they weren't quite right...the day this found its way to me was meant to be...

I wasn't even looking for rings that day when I found myself asking the lady in the shop what is that crystal in the display cabinet tucked away on the bottom shelf...I was drawn to it almost because it was the opposite of all the shiny colourful crystal pieces surrounding it...it looked very plain, non shiny, yet I was drawn to its mystery...she said no one ever seems to notice it and that I was the first one ever she has served that has enquired...

She said Its Libyan Gold Tektite...I had never ever heard of it so I asked what exactly was it (all info above) and I asked to look at it and try it on...it was instant love and attraction ...imperfectly perfect with blemishes in the piece (this I feel was one main factor as well as its incredible energy that called me) the ring size being exactly the same as mine... it found its way into my life...

Sometimes we find ourselves in the right place at the perfect time...the universe that day certainly engineered that moment (I since realise that I had played a part as I had been manifesting this too).

I am more than grateful...this piece of treasure is very powerful yet peaceful at the same time and my life is certainly enhanced from its energy...

Where in your life beautiful ones have crystals found their way to you? Xxx

LITTLE SEEDS BECOME BIG DREAMS

Mon, 22 Feb 2021 18:29:47 GMT

When you hold it in your heart and soul, its living and breathing

Its been over 4 years since I took the step of bringing to life my 'Haven', making it my reality and living my best beautiful life to the full.

Rewind a little...before I did, there was so much fear that reared its ugly head, along with the constant mind chatter of "it probably wont work", "it is such a risk", "just get a normal job", blah blah blah, list certainly went on. You get the picture...

Today (albeit like us all, living a new life of much change and uncertainy in lockdown) I truly feel so grateful and blessed that I have followed my heart and soul (it was not necessarily the easier route but certainly the worthwhile one) despite the hard days, the unknown moments, the criticism and the naysayers...

I'm am so pleased that constant inner drive (my Higher Self compass) has kept me plugging away, not allowing anything or anyone (including myself) to deter, stop or belittle.

It is the continual self-care, self-worth and self work that has been key.

Beautiful ones, I want to encourage you if you have a dream, a vision, something you want to do that you feel in your heart and soul, then find a way...whether it is only to keep it real in thoughts right now or a tiny actions. Make sure your purpose and vision doesn't die. Breathe it, speak about it, taste it, smell it, live it - daily consistent steps keep it alive. See it as though it already exists, see yourself living exactly like it is already here.

For me, 'The Haven' continues to evolve and grow (along with other dreams, visions and missions too). The full scale 'Haven Community' is detailed in a blog I shared on my website some time ago (link below for those wanting to take a read) which I so look forward to inviting you too the day it is fully birthed.

Beautiful ones, keep the faith and act on your inner compass, your wisdom, strength and determination will get you living and breathing your purpose and vision and please, please don't let anyone or anything (that includes yourself) hold you back or stop you in your tracks, you are here to live your beautiful life to the full.

May your heart and soul be happy and you live your truth and dreams out. Let your motivation be what gets you up in the morning and your purpose guide your direction even on the hard days x

Never Give Up

Tue, 02 Feb 2021 14:15:27 GMT

Acknowledge your greatness

CONSISTENCY does not mean that you will never mess up beautiful ones, but it does mean you never give up...

You are an INCREDIBLE soul residing in a human body, so certain days it's likely you may lose focus, believe you have failed and everything around you feels as though its crumbling...

Take baby steps, introduce little CHANGES every day, as they add up and will SUPPORT and assist in achieving your goals. Motivation will show up again...

Don't let perfectionism steal your JOY or that ego chatter tell you that you are not good enough. You are amazing and perfectly FABULOUS as you are...there is nothing wrong with a 'blip' or 'bad day', life can be hard enough without striving to be perfect and compare yourself to others over and over...

Learn to LOVE yourself, creating SELF-CARE, SELF-BELIEF and SELF-WORTH strategies. Then watch the small steps suddenly show your life time dreams and your goals come a reality. Work on wellness...mental, emotional and physical to help you, as it adds up to the WHOLE YOU...

ASCENSION/AWAKENING

Sun, 03 Jan 2021 20:44:31 GMT

The possible effects on our physical bodies....

Reality check....

Wanted to share with you beautiful ones how the planetary energies and frequencies are effecting some of us right now by sharing whats been going on for me...

So I've been in bed for most of last 48hours feeling and experiencing what I've written about before in blogs and posts..."Ascension/Awakening"...this latest experience for me has been the most intense ever...

For those who have missed previous posts, we have been receiving and will continue to receive intense energies assisting the recalibration of our 'souls overcoat', the physical body, causing awakening/ascension symptoms which can occur physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually in many different ways.

Our bodies go through a 'reboot'' or 'upgrade', although at the time it really may not feel like a positive thing!!! Sometimes we go through the rough to get to the smooth...

Here are some of the physical effects that I have had for past 2 days which kept me mostly in bed:

*headaches/migraines

*blurred vision/dry eyes

*earache

*aching jaw/teeth

*feeling hot or feeling freezing cold or both

*acid reflux

*bloating

*change in appetite

*emotional, v tearful

There can be many other symptoms too but the head pains for me were immense.

Here are some helpful ways to ease any of the symptoms, albeit may not clear them completely:

*Seasalt baths

*solitude

*sleep/conplete rest

*keep hydrated

*meditation music

*massage/reiki/crystals

* fresh air

*grounding yourself

*ensure you have sufficient levels Vitamins/Minerals

*fresh food i.e. rainbow food fruit and veg

Listening to your body and what you need is essential to move through it. If you need support, then seek it to what is right to help you.

It is also helpful to research and read more for yourself what ascension is and why it is happening so you can understand more fully and how to help yourself and the process.

Today i feel better although it is a time of personal growth for me with many changes to unfold, so I am listening to what my body needs and that is rest, relaxation and enjoying each day in whatever way that feels right for me.

Please act on your inner guidance beautiful ones at this huge energetic time as we move from one year to a brand new one.

Blessings and love to you all x

Please note if you believe your symptoms are getting worse or intensify, or you feel very very poorly, then you should seek professional help from GP or medical adviser.

Labyrinths

Sat, 14 Nov 2020 17:09:04 GMT

Why Walk The Labyrinth?

My first experience of walking a labyrinth was at Arundel Castle. Up until that point, I had heard about them but never really understood what, why or how they worked other than they were based on ancient magical ways.

WHAT IS A LABYRINTH?
A labyrinth is said to be a meandering path, often unicursal, with a singular path leading to a center. Labyrinths are an ancient archetype dating back 4,000 years or more, used symbolically, as a walking meditation.

WHY WALK A LABYRINTH?
Many use the labyrinth as a tool to aid the self or consciousness. It can be used as a tool to “unwind the mind,” and to let go stress or worries and concerns.

Unlike a maze where you lose your way, the labyrinth is a spiritual tool that can help you find your way.

The process of walking the labyrinth involves three parts...
* Walking toward the center, the stage of releasing or letting go of thoughts or cares.
* Reaching the center, the stage of receiving new insight or spiritual grace.
* Walking back out, the stage of union or of returning to the world with new awareness.

I love creating labyrinths and crystal grids using various Mother Earth items such as crystals, pebbles, leaves, flowers and feathers.

Your welcome to take a calm and peaceful journey to the centre of this mini crystal labyrinth for contemplation and centering.

as I mentioned, labyrinths are just as much about taking in the journey as well as reaching the destination...

What comes forward for you as you journey through this simple mini crystal labyrinth and then slowly back out once more beautiful ones...

A tool to assist consciousness. You can use them to:

- become present

- create a feeling of inner reflection

- a tool for meditation/prayer

- living in the present

- stress reduction

- sparks creativity

Why not visit or create a labyrinth of your own and let yourself to let go, allow and enjoy the experience xxx

VAPOURISER

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 21:00:40 GMT

Let your scent senses come to life...

AROMATHERAPY VAPOURISERS

I wouldn’t be without mine x

In my eyes its an essential piece of my home x

The most uplifting and perfect piece in my kitchen for benefits to mind, body and soul (along with my juicer) x

So what makes an aromatherapy vapouriser so good…?

Well they are a quick and easy way to make your environment smell beautiful and they also have health benefits too – we will come to that part later.

Vapourisers turn essential oils from liquid into vapour which then moves through the air, filling the room/rooms it is in quickly filling the area with wonderful aromas.

They can be used anywhere in the home or office and they can lift your spirits or relax you dependant on what oils you decide to use with them. Their effects are subtle. There are so many choices of vapourisers on the market these days, you really are spoilt for choice of the type you invest in. There are candle, electronic and homemade vapouriser versions too so please research the best one for you that works and fits in well with your life and needs.

How Vapourisers Work

Our ability to smell is caused by tiny molecules passing through the air. When we breathe these molecules they are then recognised by receptors in the nose. That information then gets passed via the nerves to the brain, including the areas that are responsible for behaviour, memory and emotions.

The smell molecules also dissolve into our bloodstream allowing their active properties to start to work.

Some of my favourite PURE essential oils to use in my vapouriser include:

Lavender to relax and unwind

Peppermint energising to help wake me up in the morning

Eucalyptus or Tea Tree antiseptic to help keep the air free of germs

Ylang Ylang to soften and soothe the mood

Geranium or Sandalwood to ease tension, taking away feelings of anxiety or nerves

Chamomile or Lavender to help soothe headaches and ease worries, overthinking

Fabulous for assisting in raising our vibration and the environment around us too.

I highly recommend welcoming a vapouriser and the benefits of essential oils into your life. Remember to ensure also the essential oils are PURE and come from a reputable place which no added toxins or blends where they are not pure.

N.B. Please ensure first with GP or Health Practitioner if you have any medical condition or allergies to ensure which essential oils you may/may not be able to use.

LABRADORITE

Sun, 19 Jul 2020 11:06:29 GMT

Rainbow Magic & Potential

Let me introduce you to this multi-levelled crystal of magic, wonder, depth, imagination and transformation.

It is simply memorising and carries much light. It is from the feldspar family and its colours can be grey, black, green, blue with its sensational iridescent flashes of reds, gold, silver, blues and so many more sparkling and running through each and every piece.

Labradorite is a fantastic crystal to use through CHANGE, giving us STRENGTH and PERSEVERANCE. It balances and protects the aura, raises consciousness, grounds spiritual energies as well as helps us see through ‘illusion’, it shows us our goals and intentions clearly and promotes new ideas too.

I have Labradorite with me when I am hosting psychic evenings, it is excellent for enhancing intuition, promoting psychic and mediumship abilities, especially if you feel out of touch with using and developing your inner gifts.

Labradorite is so POWERFUL in MEDITATION as it unfolds its spiritual effect stimulating the imagination and calming overactive minds.

Labradorite banishes fears and insecurities, strengthening faith in oneself and trust in the Universe.

WHAT ELSE CAN IT HELP WITH?

Labradorite can strengthen the immune system and it repairs the aura. It is helpful for improving vision, especially at night, so if you drive a lot at night, be sure to take a piece with you.

It can assist with stress and anxiety. It helps to regulate metabolism, balancing hormones and relieving menstrual tension. Labradorite can treat colds, gout, and rheumatism, lowering blood pressure, and aids in digestion.

Its rainbow colourful display of iridescent light and energies I feel, is a must in life – it brings so much joy as it sits in here in my home and Haven, its healing and powerful energies being brought to life to one and all who visit.

It shows us yet again how magical and wonderful Mother Earth is, bestowing and inspiring us with high frequency and vibrational energies. Labradorite recharges and energises us, creating a childlike sense of awe bringing our inner gifts and creative dreams to the forefront.

Are you ready to allow your little piece of rainbow magic into your life…? xxx

CITRINE

Wed, 13 May 2020 11:45:12 GMT

The Sunny Shine Crystal

Crystals – one of my biggest loves – Mother Earth’s Jewellery – such incredible creations shown to us from the Earth- they still amaze me to this day, which is why I truly love to learn, hear about them and have them around me in everyday life.

I use crystals during treatments and have them around my home - I love how amazing they look, the colours, their energy and understanding what qualities and vibration they bring to us. They can help with all sorts of things. Mother Nature is simply amazing, the beautiful precious gems it creates around and beneath us.

Today i want to talk about a firm favourite of mine…CITRINE...I have a beautiful piece right by my front door so i see it every time I leave home and come in and I also have a large piece in the heart of my home, the living room to feel its warmth glow and abundant treasures.

Citrine is said to hold pure sunlight ‘the crystal of the SUN’ (and anyone who knows me knows how much I love the sun) – look and feel it’s rays of radiating light. It is said to never absorb negativity. I call it ‘Sunshine Abundance’, it is forever giving wherever or however you use it in your life. It’s such a CELEBRATION and SUNNY crystal, it is not often that I’m not near a piece of it.

Citrine can also be known as ‘Yellow Quartz’ varying in colour from pale yellow to golden brown.

Citrine heralds such JOY, UPLIFTMENT, HOPE, DELIGHT, ENTHUSIASM and LUCK. It is also associated with bringing spiritual powers into the everyday world. A crystal of illumination, dispelling darkness at every opportunity.

Also known as ‘the stone of WEALTH’ because of its vibration in manifesting prosperity, success and abundance into your life – why not keep a piece in your purse or wallet to attract money to you as well as keeping it once it arrives. I carry a tumble stone piece in my purse.

Citrine is perfect to cleanse and rejuvenate your spirit, to increase your energy and drive, makes you feel optimistic and positive and cheerful and can help you if you feel low when fears take over your life as well as clearing and cleansing your aura. It also brings qualities of warmth, clarity as well as self-confidence and courage. It is effective against stress and can be an effective remedy in overcoming depression, phobias. It drives away darkness as well as protecting you from negative situations, people, the workplace and experiences.

Citrine colours of radiant yellow and gold energy activates, opens, and energizes the Solar Plexus and Navel Chakras, directing personal power within the physical body. Citrine may improve health, especially the digestive system, improve blood circulation, and can help to strengthen physical endurance.

Other physical benefits can include excellent healing for liver, spleen and gallbladder. It can aid conditions such as skin allergies and chemical intolerances.

Citrine is a wonderful useful crystal to use in meditation to open the doors to inner thought. It allows the flow of the universal life force energy and promotes an easy transition into the meditative state, as well as enhancing intuition. It is also a great crystal to assist in helping us to feel dynamic, inviting variety and new experiences forward.

Citrine & Children…

As this crystal is so energising it can help anyone feeling drained, tired or needs a boost of energy especially great for children who have testing times and long days at school. Use with teens who need to feel more loved as it helps to keep the channels of communications open.

You can probably see by all of these wonderful reasons why I love Citrine so much.

Why not invest in a beautiful piece and see how it can positively affect your life or give as a gift to a loved one or friend to enhance their life – the crystal that just keeps on giving.

Until the next time, blessings, love and wishes, Debbie xxx

LIQUID CHLOROPHYLL

Thu, 16 Apr 2020 12:29:11 GMT

What's that then?

Chlorophyll is the pigment that makes plants green. It is responsible for helping plants absorb energy from sunlight during the process of photosynthesis (wow its been a very long time since I was at school lol).

There are many written articles full of information about the benefits of drinking/taking chlorophyll, so please do your own research too to see how it fits in with your lifestyle and health regime, especially if you are on medication to ensure it does not contradict what you may already be on.

I was introduced to liquid chlorophyll via my beautiful Chiropractors Practice where they have it there as refreshment for clients. The green glass jug sparkling at me in the sunlight captured my attention that day and as the saying goes…”and the rest is history”, there was no looking back after that.

I started using it regularly having tasted how refreshing it was. I was happy to find added bonus of taste to water, as I consume a large amount of pure filtered water every day.

I really am enjoying the benefits of this so far.

You can get chlorophyll into your life in a variety of ways:

- Consuming wheatgrass or dark leafy greens

- Liquid form Chlorophyll as a supplement

- Topically, it has been known to help heal wounds and reduce acne

Other benefits include:

· Shown to enhance the livers natural ability to remove toxins

· Increases cellular energy production

· Boosts immune system

· Anti-inflammatory/detoxifying

· Enhances overall well-being

· An antioxidant powerhouse

· Blood builder

· Skin healing

· Can aid weight loss

· Helps candida (yeast infection)

· Improves digestion

It turns the water green and helps to detoxify the body from inside out. So if you are feeling sluggish and want to help your body to heal, repair, feel good and thrive, I highly recommend introducing Liquid Chlorophyll into your world. Blessings.

EAT WELL, LIVE WELL

‘THE HAVEN’

Tue, 07 Apr 2020 18:45:29 GMT

MY VISION, MY DREAM, MY WHY

For around 10 to 15 years, I have been birthing this, wholly truly my vision, my dream…I feel more than ever right here and now that this would benefit not only the local community but the wider world too. The expanding Haven manifesting bigger brighter dreams and light that become reality for the greater good.

THE VISION:

To fully ENHANCE and EXPAND the Haven enabling local people and members of the public to unite in a safe, kind environment, to revive the importance of community. It will encourage people to step out of the stresses of day to day life, teaching them to slow down, highlighting focus on mind, body and soul connection.

The Haven is a friendly, safe place always growing and evolving into a place of learning, positivity, encouragement, inspiration, motivation, promoting togetherness. A place of learning new perspectives, insight as well as a place to relax, allowing all to explore their journey of self-discovery too.

The Haven will reach far and wide becoming a well-known ‘COMMUNITY HUB’, place of safety, kindness on many levels, built upon love, light and respect and compassion to others. The community can engage with and support others, as well as empower themselves feeling encouraged and focussing on positivity and well-being on all levels (physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually).

THE AIM:

For people to come together, to discover and use their own inner light, enhancing, not only their own life for the highest good but also, allowing them to go on and inspire others to do the same, therefore, promoting a kinder whole community helping one another.

Bringing people together in simple natural living ways, helping everyone to become the happiest, healthiest version of themselves.

WHAT ELSE:

The Haven will provide an inviting gift area offering beautiful gifts and homewares promoting health, wellness and the holistic approach to life, encouraging and enabling the community to create a ‘Haven’ of their own at home.

It will be an amazing place to browse, relax, chat to feel awakened and empowered, and to leave FEELING GOOD.

The Haven will be full of COLOUR, HIGH VIBE ENERGY and be known in the local area as the ‘hub’ of the community.

OTHER PLANS:

There will be a community book exchange service (‘BEAUTIFUL BOOK CORNER’) allowing all to come in and take away some wisdom/knowledge – the array of books and magazines on offer will relate to health, well-being, holistic and spiritual nature therefore promoting only positivity, helpful change and creates the art of sharing too. This will encourage members of the local area to establish regular contact with others.

The Haven will introduce a Community Board (‘CHANGE LIVES COMMUNITY’) to allow all to visit to get recommendations of local other services in the area – the art of GIVING & RECEIVING.

SERVICES OFFERED:

The Haven will hold WORKSHOPS and group EVENTS encouraging well-being for all walks of life.

The vast array of Workshops, Events and holistic therapies will show, encourage and help people to understand why it is so important for TIME OUT, RELAXATION and to let the CREATIVE side flow. This instils important 'ME' time shifting old stuck programming and mindset bringing mindfulness, reflection, SELF-LOVE and SELF-WORTH.

These services provide well-being and togetherness, creating the bigger picture of ‘ONENESS’, allowing people to meet other like-minded souls and interactive aspects into lives that may have no other outlet.

THE WHOLE PACKAGE:

In line with the philosophy of the Haven, there will be the "CHILL & CHAT CAFE" offering the full range of tasty healthy nutritious organic hot drinks, fresh juices, local produce especially tailored to wholeness, colourful plentiful life-force energy foods including vegan dishes and amazing CAKE..it is a must. This allows people to come from near and afar to meet like-minded friends (new and old) and family to spend quality time together in an incredible space and helping them to keep their vibration high which allows us to live in harmony and balance.

THE DREAM:

I believe this will promote a happier, healthier outlook and balance in life, reducing stress and even possibly depression and illness within the community. I want to be able to get other like-minded members of the community as well as local businesses to get on board to promote a BEAUTIFUL LIFE everywhere.

PROPOSALS INCLUDE:

'Chill & Chat Cafe'

Yoga Classes

Group Meditation & 1:1 Meditation sessions

Angelic Reiki Experiences

Colour Therapy

Chakra Balancing

Sound Healing/Sound Bath

Angel Oracle Card Readings

Flower Therapy

Crystal Work

Vision Boards

Psychic Development Evenings

Sanctuary 'Me' Days & Retreats

Other Healing Modalities

Demos/Talks and Speeches on various holistic subjects

There will also be opportunity to hold both DAYTIME and EVENING events that support local charities or themed events lead by other beneficial charities and holistic practitioners.

BRANCHING OUT:

I would also like to add, when the timing allows to bring my love of boho fashion and living to life here too.

Home is where the heart is... therefore our homes are our 'Havens' they are an expression of us, one where we should find peace and feel safe in a space that reflects us and who we are and what we stand for.

A 'hippy at heart' my love of interiors, patterns and textiles run hand in hand with the ethos of the Haven. Bringing varying colour palettes and styles into our lives affects our mood, mindset and the atmosphere around us in a significant way so its important to MAKE YOUR INTERIOR HEART SPACE REFLECT YOUR EXTERNAL LIVING...

When every aspect of your life reflects YOU and who YOU are, what you wear and what you have around you on every level will match, that's living a true authentic life. Truly living! The Haven will help those who want to open their hearts to this side of their life, who may not know how or where to start.

THE BIGGER PICTURE:

By bringing people together in a positive, peaceful, friendly environment, it will promote a kinder community where stress is reduced.

An ever-changing mindset of love and light will enrich lives and promote togetherness and understanding of one another.

WE can ALL make a difference by teaching, inspiring, supporting, encouraging and learning from one another. United as opposed to divided.

THE HAVEN IS THE VISION WHERE THIS WILL HAPPEN

West Sussex is where it starts, Worldwide is where is goes next.

Thank you from the centre of my heart for allowing this DREAM to become REALITY xxx

MEDITATING

Tue, 07 Apr 2020 10:02:00 GMT

ALONE V MEDITATING AS PART OF A GROUP

I personally believe both are beneficial and essential to keeping oneself feeling in balance, harmony and in a relaxed state of mind as much as possible, despite surrounding external factors.

I also believe that meditation is something to bring daily/regularly into your life. An example… a bit like going to the gym, you don’t get a six pack overnight, it’s the consistent and persistent approach that brings results – the same as meditation…practice makes your form of perfect and helps you to enjoy the art of allowing to flow into your life.

My first experience of meditation was terrible...i went to an amazing group meditation which was incredible setting, space and people but I allowed my own fears/worries and thoughts to destroy my peace so when it came to the end I realised I was too worried about what everyone else was thinking or what I should be doing or getting from it, I got nothing other than my thoughts of daily stuff going over and over. I felt so disheartened but rather than give up and never go again (which was the easiest option and I did consider it a few times), I went back time and time again and around my 4th/5th group evening, I really just let go and allowed the experience to be what it was – this for me was a ‘game changer’.

Writing this here today, I had no idea that I would be channelling guided meditations myself and holding fortnightly guided group meditations at my home with the most amazing beautiful souls who want to come and expand their meditation and personal journeys.

So let’s take a look at the difference between Alone or Group:

MEDITATING ON YOUR OWN

· You get to pick the time and place, indoors or outdoors – a time when you will not be disturbed and without interruptions from others.

· The place you choose will be the place that you most find safe, comfortable and relaxing to you.

· You can choose to have inspiring things around you, décor and lighting, mood etc.

· You can lay down, sit down, use the space to settle exactly where you want – your rules.

· You choose what you meditate and put your attention too – whether a candle flame, pure silence, just music, guided meditation listening to someone else.

· You work out which form of breathing techniques you need to use to get in relaxed state.

· You choose how long you wish to meditate for.

· You are in full control of how you want your meditation experience to be.

· Your meditation journey, your ways, as fast or slow as you want it to be.

You may find meditating alone difficult if you are not very disciplined or get distracted easily, not sticking to goals, plans etc. You may start with good intention but find it doesn’t last. You may also find meditating on your own a struggle if you have never tried it before, because generally the first attempt you may find you don’t gain much from it (unless you are one of the lucky ones).

As I’ve mentioned before, I believe meditation is like anything you do in life, the more you do it the easier it becomes and the more you can enjoy it and get from it. There is no right or wrong way, it’s about a state of ALLOWING yourself to BE and just see where it takes you.

Let’s have a look now at why you might find it great to be part of a group.

MEDITATING AS PART OF A GROUP

· The healing power of the group setting can be more beneficial than being alone – studies show that the existence of the ripple effect of peace in the environment is powerful.

· Spiritual support grows stronger – when members of the group meet regularly this can create new friendships, bonds to form – it also creates synergy achieving something bigger than what you could do on your own.

· Learning experience improves – particularly beneficial for beginners as you get chance to meet people been doing this for longer amount of time /experience so you can learn new things and ways that could help you for ultimate meditation experience.

· Feedback possibilities – you not only get chance to learn from the experiences as others, you can get useful advice too. In a group you all support one another to reach not only physical, emotional but mental peace too.

· You meet like-minded people and it’s a new opportunity to make new friends.

· You may find it less distracting if you are not in your home setting.

· You may find it easier to follow somebody rather than lead the meditation format yourself.

· Can create a new beneficial habit/routine – you may be more likely to go and sit in meditation if you know you have made commitments to others to show up. It encourages you to be consistent and your motivation reaches new heights, this may be a more likely reason to stick with it.

· You may feel happier in a group activity – creating connections with others, tapping into the same silence and source of peace helping you to feel a more powerful sense of safety, comfort, peace and serenity, as well as walking away happier than when you started.

· Reduces loneliness – if you leave alone and although have lots of access to technology such as computers, phones, apps etc for meditation, you may need/prefer the physical benefits of meeting others in person and connecting with others rather than through digital format.

When we meditate in groups it creates an environment of acceptance and belonging, I know this from seeing the souls connecting regularly at my group evenings – some came as strangers to one another but now they have formed strong friendships and talk and see one another outside of the meditation evenings. It is wonderful to see.

There we go, the choice is yours…alone, group or both…MAY YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY BE ONE OF LOVE, PEACE, CALM AND OF ULTIMATE RELAXATION EVERY TIME.

I wish you a truly BEAUTIFUL LIFE xxx

SAGE

Thu, 02 Apr 2020 11:32:07 GMT

Do you use it?

There are many types of Sage but today I am concentrating on the benefits of burning WHITE SAGE. It is cost effective and a natural way to clean the air around you.

Otherwise known as a ‘Smudging Stick’ or ‘Smudging’ – used and practised in Feng Shui and very old ancient Native Indian traditions.

The benefits of burning white sage are as follows:

· Antibacterial

· Antimicrobial so kills fungi/bacteria/viruses

· Purifies the air

· Repels insects

· Promotes mindfulness

· Spiritual healing

· Boosts energy

· Natural remedy for depression, anxiety as relieves stress

When sage is burned it releases negative ions, which are linked to putting people in a positive mood.

Burning sage has been used as a spiritual tool for healers and traditional cultures for many, many years to achieve a healing state or to clear unwanted ’spirit’ or negative ‘energies’ at home, living spaces, work or otherwise, therefore, “clearing your space”.

It is a great tool for group work especially healing modalities, meditation, and yoga. It can also be beneficial before sleep to encourage restful, happy, clear sleep.

It has been said it can:

- lift one’s mood

- reduce stress in the environment

- alleviate pain (as it is rich in compounds that activate certain receptors in the brain)

- boost memory and mental clarity

- improve intuition

Burning sage is one of the oldest and purest methods of cleansing a space, home, person or group of people of negative energy, bacteria, unwanted spirits, and it disinfects the air and this dates back to prehistoric times. I use it regularly at home and in my Haven to ensure a happy, clean and clear environment is achieved each and every day.

SAUERKRAUT

Mon, 30 Mar 2020 08:39:01 GMT

A Fridge Delight

SAUERKRAUT

I’d never even heard of Sauerkraut until a couple of years ago, let alone believe I could be eating it straight out of the jar every day as a fridge treat!

I have found the benefits of this not particularly visualising appetizing delight so incredible I cannot see myself giving it up anytime soon.

For me (someone who has had a history of gut, tummy, hormone and health conditions) I have found since following a more holistic and more natural healthful way to eat and live, I have truly had so much more energy, clearer, focused and happier mindset, daily life is good. There is something every day to be grateful for right. YES indeed.

SO WHAT IS SAUERKRAUT?

It is a finely cut raw cabbage that has been fermented by various lactic acid bacteria. It is a naturally occurring process prepared without heat or pasteurisation.

Alongside living a healthy, balanced and nutritious lifestyle, Sauerkraut is a great addition too. It contains many nutrients important for optimal health, so I wanted to share these with you…

Sauerkraut is a potent source of Vitamin C and some of the B Vitamins too. It balances stomach PH levels and helps to break down proteins.

Sauerkraut is a rich source of immune-boosting probiotics. The bacteria that populates our gut can have strong influence on our immune system, the probiotics found in Sauerkraut help improve the balance of bacteria in your gut, which keeps your gut lining healthy.

Other BENFITS include:

· Anti-inflammatory

· Low calorie

· Supplies probiotics that improve digestion and gut health

· Good source of antioxidants

· Supports cognitive health & mood

· Beneficial bacteria to supports immune system

Please read up and investigate more about this cabbage delight, you may end up like me, Sauerkraut becomes your secret fridge treat!

It might not be for all of you, but its worth a try or you will never know xxx

THE SELF

Fri, 20 Mar 2020 16:47:15 GMT

How to look after YOU...

THE SELF

(self-love, self-care, self-realisation)

It is very important that you protect and clear your energy on a regular basis

To protect your energy:

Just by holding the intention to protect yourself in a “bubble” or “Orb” of protective white light makes it happen. This can be done by visualising, feeling or just intending yourself surrounded in layer of love and light. You can also ask Archangel Michael and your angel or guides to place you in protection. Get in the pattern of doing this on a regular basis before you leave your home x

The bubble can be any colour of your choice, maybe your favourite colour or a colour that you associate with keeping you safe, strong, grounded, protected x

It is especially important to do this regularly so that you keep your body, aura and energy field clear from outside influences, the environment and any negativity or fear, so you are able to stay balanced in such times x

To clear your energy:

Energy clearing techniques include “cutting the cords”. You can imagine cutting the energy ties with the individuals or groups that you have been around if you feel that you have picked up any negative energy, or have been around people living in drama or gossiping, sometimes we can pick up energies of lower vibration just by going into a shop or supermarket, which is why it is important to surround yourself in your protective energetic “Bubble”.

Energy clearing is very much done on intention, so it can be very powerful if you want it to be. Other energy clearing techniques are taking sea salt baths/ and or connecting with nature (the trees or water) as this draws out toxins, also by lighting incense or a sage stick and clearing the energy in the room or around your body.

Other great cleansing tools include Meditation/Visualisation chakra cleansing, clearing techniques using white light or shower/waterfall. Essential oils in vapourisers around the home such as pepper, thyme, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, frankincense, clove and finally, cleansing plants which are listed below.

Take care of yourself and give yourself treats/time out

There is a need for balance in life. Many of us tend towards ‘giving’, not ‘receiving’…both are equally important. Therefore, make sure you treat yourself regularly and accept other peoples’ assistance, compliments and gifts if they want to bless you with them. Sometimes people get just as much pleasure out of seeing someone else receive so accept their kindness and love x

Life is about BALANCE and if this is not in flow, then your energy is affected, you may miss out on blessings, opportunities or gifts that the Universe has lined up for you. Be KIND to yourself always and do not speak bad about yourself, you are a MIRACLE here to follow a beautiful path, you deserve to LIVE it x

Find ways to stay positive each day

Remember, positivity is like a boomerang, the more we put it out there, the more it comes back to us. Let go of what you cannot control and concentrate on what you can. Always keep your DREAMS alive x

Wait before saying YES…trust your instincts

Don’t people please…speak your truth with LOVE.

Give yourself time to think before saying yes to every request for help about whether it is something that is truly part of your mission or your hearts desires. If it does not feel right in your gut, then do not do it. TRUST yourself and your feelings.

Keep it simple…it if feels right then don’t be afraid to say YES, and equally do not be afraid to say NO if it does not feel right or good then it probably isn’t x

Connect with nature

Plants and animals and outside scenery are a welcome respite from artificial lighting, electromagnetic frequencies and other people. Plants also draw out negative toxins out of our mental, emotional and physical bodies.

If you cannot get outside, then ensure your home or workspace has plenty of houseplants in each room to reduce toxins and bring peace and a sense of tranquil to your surroundings. Cleansing plants include Peace Lily, Ferns, Lucky Bamboo and Ivy.

Connect with like-minded people who share the same visions and ways as yourself to “fill your cup” leaving them and leaving you positive and strong x

LIVE IN LOVE

TRUE POWER IS LIVING THE REALISATION THAT YOU ARE YOUR OWN HEALER, HERO AND LIGHT

Magnesium

Sun, 08 Mar 2020 16:37:40 GMT

Why Is It So Important For Us...

Magnesium is a nutrient that the body needs to stay healthy. It is an important mineral involved in many aspects of health. It plays a huge part in making the body work efficiently and right. Without it, your muscles are unable to move in the correct way which leads to your nerves unable to send and receive messages to other parts of the body.

Magnesium helps to regulate muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure and making protein, bone, and DNA.

Ideally, it is best to get magnesium from food sources but not always possible in todays fast paced world and demands of day to day chaos. Sometimes we have to get the help by way of supplements.

There are many different forms of Magnesium that you can get and I highly recommend you research and read more about the forms before deciding, personally, I have got on really well with the form Magnesium Bisglycinate capsules (vegan with no fillers).

Food sources of Magnesium include:

Dark leafy greens such as spinach/chard, avocado, beans, nuts such as almonds and cashews, seeds such as sesame/pumpkin/sunflower, bananas, figs, flaxseed, okra, dark chocolate, edamame, wheatgerm, wholegrains, quinoa (cooked)

Benefits of Taking Magnesium:

Helps increase energy levels
Calms nerves & anxiety
Fights naturally against depression
Helps with digestion by relieving constipation
Relieves muscle aches and spasms
Regulates levels of Calcium, Potassium and Sodium
Important for heart health
Prevents migraines
Improves blood sugar
Helps prevent Osteoporosis
Aids sleep patterns/quality
Can relieve inflammation in the body
Boosts performance during exercise
Strengthens bones
Can alleviate PMS and Menopausal symptoms
Can reduce pain

Some of the symptoms of magnesium deficiency:

· Muscle Twitches and Cramps. Twitches, tremors and muscle cramps are signs of magnesium deficiency

· Mental Disorders

· Osteoporosis

· Fatigue and Muscle Weakness

· High Blood Pressure

· Asthma

· Irregular Heartbeat

As with anything I write about on my Beautiful Life page, blog or posts, the subjects are important to me. Using Magnesium in its various forms over the years has supported my health tremendously, especially in respect of debilitating headaches/migraines as well as more recently to assist menopause symptoms.

Menopause can lower magnesium levels as well as some formal medications so supplementing magnesium into the diet may help symptoms. I have found a huge change in my life since increasing my Magnesium levels this past year.

Finally another little personal favourite of mine…Magnesium Flakes are also very good source of magnesium – absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream via baths. Add pure lavender oil to help as extra relaxation too. An excuse to take some well deserved “YOU” time, try it and seek the benefits.

AFFIRMATIONS

Tue, 29 Oct 2019 17:44:17 GMT

The POWER of...

AFFIRMATIONS ARE A POWERFUL TOOL OF MANIFESTING AND BRINGING EXPERIENCES, OPPORTUNITIES, PEOPLE AND SITUATIONS INTO OUR LIVES…

The way we think and speak to ourselves has so much more effect on us than we realise… What you put your attention on grows and becomes permanent in your life.

Move away from negative and put your attention on what it is that you really do want to be/have. Remember whatever you water, will start to grow !!!

Affirmations encourage a life filled of gratitude and positivity. Affirmations can be any statement you make. Learn to think in positive affirmations and continually make positive statements about how you want your life to be. Affirmations can help in all ways from gaining more inner strength, boosting and raising self-esteem to other subjects such as romance, career, prosperity and love.

Make your statement in the present tense such as…I AM..I HAVE…this sends strong messages out to the Universe creating what you are and what you want, which shifts things in life thereby bringing more gifts and blessings to you.

If you declare in future tense…I want or I will, then it will always stay out of reach in the future!

Consistency is KEY…Affirmations are like seeds planted in soil, you need to feed them rich in nutrient for abundant growth! and BE PATIENT sometimes these things take time xxx

Affirmation examples:

I easily allow myself to receive, I give myself permission to release all guilt easily and quickly because I am a special person xxx

I am open and receptive to new avenues of income xxx

I now believe I am worthy and beautiful, and I easily release self-sabotaging thoughts and feelings preventing me from receiving my highest good Xxx

I love and approve of myself and I trust the process of life. I am safe xxx

I accept myself and create peace in my mind and heart xxx

Divine wisdom guides me xxx

All old negative beliefs are released from me now, my pathway is smooth and I am free of the past xxx

I am the change I want to see xxx

I can now say NO if I do not want to go xxx

Life is joyous, life is fun, happiness is here for me every day xxx

I am safe and secure xxx

I turn every experience into an opportunity xxx

I give permission to be all I can be and I deserve the very best in life. I love and appreciate myself and nurture myself when I need to without guilt. I am worthy of upmost happiness and love xxx

CELERY JUICE

Tue, 21 May 2019 21:15:33 GMT

the amazing benefits...

Fresh celery juice is one of the most powerful and healing juices – on an empty stomach it can transform health and digestion in relatively short amount time.

Celery is nutrient rich so is a great source of fibre, vitamins C and K, Manganese, Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium and Vit B6.

Celery has powerful and significant anti-inflammatory properties and can help with the following:

Auto-immune conditions

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

IBS

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Raynauds

Its strong alkaline properties help it to prevent acid reflux, joint pain, bloating, constipation ringing in the ears, tingles and numbness, hot flushes, muscle cramps, acne, eczema, can improve kidney function, cholesterol levels and sleep issues.

Celery can help to purify the bloodstream as it contains compounds, coumarins known to enhance activity of certain white blood cells and flushes out toxins out of the body.

Celery is very low in kcals due to its high water density and high fibre content, so can assist with weight maintenance and help control type 2 diabetes – celery has antioxidants within it called flavones and these can help to lower blood sugar levels.

Why Juice it…?

Eating celery sticks in itself is very healthy due to it nutrient rich content but this is not the same as drinking pure celery juice.

When celery is juiced, the pulp (fibre) is removed so its healing benefits become more powerful and bioavailable in the body.

How to juice it….

The recommended amount of celery to use for pure juice benefits are 16oz (equivalent to approx. 1 whole bunch)

Add bunch to juicer and drink on empty stomach first thing in the morning. If unable to drink due to taste, can add small amount of apple or cucumber but this will dilute its effectiveness. Then avoid eating or drinking anything further for minimum 20-30mins.

Any Possible Side Effects…

There are so many benefits of drinking celery juice with minimal risk of side effects. However, there are some people who may need to moderate their intake, especially those taking anticoagulant medications.

Therefore, it’s best to talk to your doctor and keep consumption in moderation for best results.

Personally, I have noticed how celery has assisted in the reduction of joint pain/aches in my knees and has made a significant difference on how clear my skin becomes when I regularly drink celery juice – it is a low cost health wonder and I recommend trying it for yourself x

DANDELION TEA

Tue, 23 Apr 2019 13:29:15 GMT

HOW & WHY IT CAN BENEFIT YOU BY DRINKING IT…

Dandelions are not just the bright yellow flowers that pop up during the warmer months in your lawn that many class as nuisance weeds…NOooooooooo…

Dandelions are a centuries old remedy for many different health concerns, today I am concentrating on the benefits of drinking the dandelion root tea and its positive effects …it also tastes pretty good too.

So here goes:

· Naturally Caffeine Free

Great if you are caffeine sensitive so you can drink it anytime day or night and it will not keep you awake like the caffeine options out there on the market.

· Protects the Liver

Dandelion contains potent antioxidants (molecules that help neutralise or prevent the negative effects of free radicals in your body – free radicals contribute to disease development and accelerated aging) so keep the liver and other vital organs functioning at their ultimate to keep body healthy as possible.

· Fights Cancer

Dandelion leaves are rich in phytonutrients as well as the antioxidants we just spoke about, therefore, can be highly effective in fighting and combating against cancer.

· UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections)

Dandelion tea is a diuretic so can help to clear, cleanse and regulate the urinary tract.

· Bone Health

Dandelions are rich in calcium content which is essential for growth and strength of bones.

· Kidney Cleansing

Dandelion contains potassium which can help to restore the mineral balance in the kidneys as it helps to flush away toxins.

· Weight Loss

The diuretic effects of the dandelion tea can also help to eliminate and shed water weight so helps to flush toxins and aid digestion. It helps to reduce bloating as well as cleanses the blood and liver of toxins so supports a healthy body weight.

· Reduces Inflammation

The antioxidants and other active compounds in the tea can over time help reduce pain and inflammation in body tissues.

· Brain Function

Dandelion is a rich source of Vitamin K, which is important for healthy functioning of the brain.

Why don’t you try it, it might help you change your mind if you are still thinking it’s just a garden weed!!!

I personally love the many benefits, especially for cleansing and detoxing purposes of the liver, urinary tract and kidneys. It also is a great soother if you have a sensitive stomach.

It can be served hot or cold. If you wish to try it slightly sweeter then add some organic honey or maybe try with a slice of lemon or orange.

I’d love to hear how you get on with the natural and wonderful dandelion beautiful ones xxx

LAVENDER

Tue, 02 Apr 2019 15:37:42 GMT

so many benefits...

Why is it great to plant Lavender in your garden:

Easy to Grow and hardy

Lavender is a hardy plant that doesn’t require a whole lot of care once established. It thrives in sunshine and dry soil, so under watering or drought isn’t an issue for this stunning flower.

It’s Fragrance

Lavender is an incredibly aromatic flower with a soothing scent, and fantastic blue-violet buds. There is also a variety of white lavender.

Repels Mosquitoes, Flies, Fleas and Moths

Mosquitoes are repulsed by the scent of lavender so it’s a great choice if you get bitten easily. Lavender’s scent will also keep flies, fleas and moths at bay.

Using lavender’s natural repelling powers is far safer than rubbing DEET on your skin. Even the Environmental Protection Agency says you should wash DEET off your skin once indoors, wash treated clothing before wearing, avoid breathing it in or spraying it directly on your face.

Attracts Pollinators

With our global bee population in decline – something which could have devastating and far reaching consequences for the planet – it is vital that we attract and protect these invaluable species. What’s more, they’ll work hard to pollinate your flowers and plants ensuring a colourful and buzzing garden for years to come. Lavender also attracts butterflies to your garden. Ref: http://www.naturallivingideas.com

I always have lavender plants in the gardens around my home as they enhance the place in so many ways especially the above points but also the Lavender plant has been known to bring the following on a spiritual level - Love, Protection, Sleep, Longevity, Purification, Happiness, Peace x

HEALTH BENEFITS OF LAVENDER

Lavender boasts an array of medicinal uses. Here are a few ways it can help you:

Relieve stress

Promote restful sleep

Improve mood

Lower skin irritation/relieve bites and stings

Prevent infections

Reduce inflammation

Eliminate dandruff

Soothe stomach bloating

Relieves Headaches & Migraines

Aids respiratory function

I always have pure lavender oil in the house – it is great to add a few drops in the bath with sea salt crystals – great healing relaxing bath and clears away toxins from the body and I also use it in the kitchen in a diffuser so it removes cooking aromas and leaves a fresh cleansing scent, it is also has antibacterial qualities x

Why not get onto the internet to read and research all the amazing helpful tips and hints for Lavender today and go treat yourself to a lavender plant or in oil form x

how introducing flaxseed oil to your life can help...

A must in my world…just wanted to share with you all how flaxseed oil (also known as linseed oil) has been such a help and key in my life. It has many positive benefits, some of which I’d like to share with you.

Flaxseed comes in 2 types, brown and golden (linseed), and many different forms too…ground, /milled, whole, capsule, liquid oil.

Flaxseed is the richest PLANT source of Omega 3 fatty acids (great for vegetarians and vegans) it has been associated with some of the following health benefits:

· Rich in anti-oxidants

· Omega-3s are proving to be critical for a healthy brain and mood

· Healthier heart functioning

· Radiant skin

· Promotes hair growth

· Full of omega fatty acids so helps lower bad cholesterol (LDL)

· Can improve blood pressure

· Anti-inflammatory & preventing auto-immune diseases

· Can improve eye health

· Can aid weight loss

· Promotes wound healing

· Relieves constipation/diarrhoea

· Muscle strength/recovery

· Can help reduce eczema and aids dry skin conditions

· Can have the ability to fight depression

Any side effects…?

Flaxseed is LIKELY SAFE for most adults when taken by mouth, although stick to the recommended dosage otherwise too much might increase the number of bowel movements each day, which could cause gastrointestinal side effects such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhoea, stomach ache, and nausea.

Why choose flaxseed oil...?

I first discovered how fabulous flaxseed oil was when I worked at Holland and Barrett, it is amazing for joints. I was suffering with painful and achy knees from constantly standing for hours on end during the working shifts and as I have never really enjoyed eating fish or using fish supplements, I knew following a vegetarian lifestyle that I was lacking Omegas in my diet at that time.

Organic pure flaxseed oil came into my life at exactly the perfect time and I love it (taste wise not great on its own) so I started to add it to my daily smoothie, and literally after 4 days I was feeling the difference. My knees had stopped making the terrible noises and creaking as I walked upstairs and the pain had reduced loads. It was pretty much instant relief and I have never looked back.

Not only great for joint care, it works in the body in other ways too - my hair has been in better condition too and there was one time I had not replaced my flaxseed supplies for around a month and my hair started to look thinner and my knees began to ache again during that time without it.

I have recommended flaxseed to various clients and friends and I have received great feedback that it is benefiting their lives too.

Why not give it a go for yourself beautiful ones, and let me know how it benefits you…? Xxx

Crystal of LOVE

Sat, 23 Feb 2019 17:29:09 GMT

Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz Crystal is a crystal that derives its name from its lovely rose pink colour. These quartz crystals come in a range of beautiful shades of pink. The colours range from very pale through to deep pink, and all have that wonderful loving vibration. Deposits have been found in Madagascar, India, Japan and Brazil, as well as in South Africa and South Dakota in the USA.

The presence of this lovely pink love stone will send a soothing vibration not only to the person wearing it, but also resonates throughout the room where it is located.

It is easy to buy Rose quartz, in many different forms, including rough rose quartz crystals or tumble stones. Natural pieces of this stone are relatively inexpensive and easy to source.

I love this crystal and have large raw pieces spread all across my home, I also use it when I carry out healing sessions in my Haven. There are so many amazing reasons why you should go out and treat yourself to this beautiful crystal, here are just a few snippets for you…

The crystal of unconditional love, known as the “HEART STONE” or “LOVE STONE” as the message it emits is a strong vibration of unconditional love, joy, warmth and emotional healing. It opens the heart chakra to all forms of love: self-love, family love, platonic love, and romantic love. The high energy gives rose quartz the property of enhancing love in so many situations.

This beautiful pink crystal has a powerful energy that resonates within both the heart chakra and the higher heart chakra, the area related to compassion.

Rose Quartz is so beneficial for healers, it helps ease pain or tension such as grief, stress, fear or anger. Rose quartz is a very happy and loving stone. Rose quartz is used to balance emotions and is an excellent stone to bring peace. The rose quartz is also very powerful when it comes to your health concerns.

It has a calming and soothing effect on the person wearing it, so you can expect to feel calmer and more collected even when dealing with difficult people or tough situations. A small piece of rose quartz in your pocket can help you overcome your challenges and feel ready to go through the changes in your life.

It can also be used to raise self-esteem and a strong sense of self-worth. Its loving energies teach us to apply this love to ourselves and thereby find ourselves more worthy.

Rose quartz healing benefits extend to people who have trouble finding happiness in life due to insufficient nurturing while they were a child. The crystal is also very good for children and animals as the energies are gentle and soothing. (Ref: thehealingchest.com)

Rose Quartz can strengthen and balance the physical heart and circulatory system, and releases impurities from body fluids. It hastens recovery, can reduce high blood pressure, aid chest and lung problems, may help heal the kidneys and adrenals, and alleviates vertigo. A good energetic support for those with leukaemia. Rose Quartz has the power to increase fertility and to protect both mother and unborn embryo from miscarriage. (Ref: www.charmsoflight.com )

When you love what you do, you love and fulfil your beautiful life...

An exert from one of the beautiful networking groups that I am part of...each week everyone gets the spotlight to share with the group what we do, and why we do it...this week its my turn...just wanted to share this with you beautiful ones...

"Good morning ladies and welcome to Debbie Sutton our Business Star of the week this week..."

"...Please introduce yourself to the group...

Hello everyone, I'm Debbie. I’m originally from Kent but I moved to West Sussex when my son Jack was tiny around 10 years ago. I love living by the sea. I would describe myself as an Intuitive Healer working from home from my 'Haven' in my back garden.

My greatest passions in life are...

Living in the present, finding the happiness and blessings in every single day sharing great times with the people and things I love and travel...I love to explore new places, I'm a sagittarius so give me some comfy shoes and I am off learning about new places and seeking new experiences, meeting new people.

What led you to the business role you are in today...?

After working in the corporate world for many years as a PA, not really enjoying the commute or the workload and lack of life balance, I left full time work at canary wharf to be a super stay at home mum with Jack until he reached school years...in that time I had many life changes which led me to my own healing journey...I invested time on self-discovery and holistic ways of life...I did 3 years training at Holland and Barrett giving me experience and knowledge in healthy nutrition and herbal supplements creating a path to well-being.

Along with fulfilling my inner hippie ways and following my spiritual path, I learnt to transform my life on so many levels using healing modalities and was able to maintain my own well-being, I wanted to combine all this with all the things I love so began to reach out and help others.

What so you love most about what you do...?

Where do I start with this one...wow
I literally am living my dream and my purpose, I cannot actually say it feels like work, I simply love what I do.

I feel so blessed to meet so many beautiful people and connect with them to help them on their own unique self-discovery journey, helping them to find their own key to unlock their inner gifts and toolbox of knowledge so they can transform, grow and shine on their journey, feeling harmony, balance, happiness and peace...what could beat that x

What is your special offer of the week for our members?

I believe healthy living alongside a positive outlook combined with holistic practices can benefit us on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level as it had benefited my life so much and continues to do so...so I'd love to offer £5 off a 1:1 angelic reiki experience with me and I'll do a mini angel card reading for you too for bookings taken in the month of March..."

Much angel love and blessings and I really look forward to connecting with you more xxx

MY STORY

Sun, 20 Jan 2019 16:48:55 GMT

Why I do What I do...

So I was told at the age of 17 I would never have children and diagnosed with severe Stage 4 endometriosis for which I have had 5 major ops, along with IVF treatment x 2, financial debt, my son at 2 weeks old spending one week in High Dependency Unit very poorly, then at age 3 he had heart surgery for a large hold in the heart, as well as years and years of living with low self worth and self esteem, making saying "yes" and people pleasing my best skill at the time. A yo-yo dieter who struggled with weight and body image (that' s another post for another time), as well as my marriage and divorce.

Along with the fact that since childhood I have believed and been guided by angels and spirit as I could see orbs floating about everywhere, I was referred by some as "strange" and "weird", so didn't talk about that part of my life very much. Some might say well that's all very normal, some may feel I've had an easy life, whereas others may say I've had a hard time, all I know is that all of these things have moulded me into who I am right now. I'm just doing ME.

I am not sharing this information with you beautiful ones for a reaction, nor in the hope of a receiving a medal, or for sympathy, I wanted to share this to explain that none of us truly know what anyone has gone through or may currently be dealing with, and these things do not always show on the outside.

Life brings us all sorts of lessons, hardships and experiences along the way, some good, some not so good, all I know and believe is that I am a BETTER, STRONGER, TRANSFORMED person for the experiences that I have gone through and come out of the other side and I see LIFE as a GIFT.

I live in the PRESENT and I do the things and surround myself around the people and experiences that I love and believe in and feel good about because I have come to learn how PRECIOUS a full, healthy, happy, blessed life is, and my purpose is to spread as much love, light and help wherever I can.

I BELIEVE IN MAKING EVERY DAY COUNT...

I do not know exactly what the next few years will bring, but I certainly know I will be OPEN to the experiences, continuing to GROW and transform to be the healthiest, happiest version of me I can be.

So why do I do what I do...?

It has allowed me to be a much stronger, more empowered person since these life lessons, and today I VALUE and ACCEPT myself for me. I am kinder and more understanding to myself and the lessons and growth I go through now, I deal with situations much easier and see the bigger picture of why these might be happening.

My life lessons have helped me to understand others. I love to help and inspire, sharing any knowledge and guidance to encourage others in any way I can, showing them the tools they already have within them to better deal with and heal from the situations they may be going through, as well as growing from situations and moving forward in a healthy, more positive way, leaving them feeling stronger, encouraged and empowered.

Don't be so hard on yourselves beautiful ones if you are currently going through an emotional or hard situation, be kind and nurture yourself in any way you can and please call on support and love from the ones around you that highlight how truly great you are and remind yourself, that you will get through this and come out the other side.

I send you angel love, blessings and support always.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS...

WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER ANGELIC REIKI?

Angelic Reiki supports your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being.

Angelic Reiki can help to reduce stress, pain, anxiety and can lessen some of the side effects of medications.

I believe Angelic Reiki can help you achieve body and mind relaxation, peace, clarity and focus.

WHAT ARE THE OTHER HEALTH BENEFITS OF ANGELIC REIKI?

Angelic Reiki has reported benefits including the body’s natural healing processes, relief from physical and emotional pain, reduction in anxiety and depression, an increased sense of joy, connectedness and clarity.

Angelic Reiki is also used to support spiritual growth and development and energetic field clearing in order to increase alignment to purpose and personal truth.

It is a beautiful and gentle healing that can be used in conjunction with other healing methods/treatments but should NOT replace medical advice or treatment. Angelic Reiki supports and helps speed up the body’s own innate healing abilities.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT IN MY SESSION WITH YOU?

Your session with me would include being introduced to my ‘Haven’, a sacred space where I use crystals, sound and music, incense and candles to support the treatment within the healing space.

During the session I am simply the facilitator enabling the Angels, Guides and Higher Beings to channel through me to help to clear and balance our chakras (energy centres), which is often where stuck energy can reside.

Blocked or imbalanced chakras can often be a starting point of poor health, emotional and mental conditions.

Most clients feel deeply relaxed, calm and with a sense of well-being during their treatments.

Some clients experience the release of emotions or tears and other sensations such as warmth, tingling or floating – your experience will be completely unique as it is your own journey, we have time at the end of the session to discuss everything that you have experienced and if you have any questions.

IS ANGELIC REIKI FOR ME?

Angelic Reiki is available for everyone to receive. You may be called to receive Angelic Reiki if you are experiencing any physical or emotional health challenges or you feel ‘heavy’ or ‘low’ energies around or within you, and you intuitively know that you are carrying energetic “baggage”.

Angelic Reiki can also be for you if you are embarking on a journey of self-discovery and personal development, as it can help unlock insights and open channels that will deepen you on your spiritual path.

Receiving Angelic Reiki I believe is a beautiful experience and is an essential part of self-care and personal growth and transformation.

AFTER RECEIVING ANGELIC REIKI, WHEN WILL I FEEL THE DIFFERENCE?

This is dependent upon the person, but generally all of the clients that I have met, have felt a difference during the same day. Some say that they feel lighter, clearer and focused, some very relaxed and peaceful and others feel like they have much more energy than usual. Healing effects can last up to at least 2 weeks after the session.

I have also known some clients to feel emotionally up and down for a couple of days and this is perfectly normal as the session can clear lots of old stuck energies, making way for new lighter energies to come in – this is generally the body’s way of clearing and healing. After this, they have reported they felt much brighter, happier and positive.

PLEASE READ CLIENT REVIEWS/TESTIMONIALS ON MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE WEBSITE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION AND FEEDBACK.

WHEN CAN I BOOK ANOTHER SESSION AND HOW REGULAR SHOULD I HAVE THESE?

Whenever you feel you want too. This is your personal journey - I am here to help, so we can go at a pace suitable to you.

Some of my current clients have weekly sessions, some fortnightly; others come monthly for topping up their energy levels and like to use the session as a peaceful 1:1 experience to gain further insight to help them on their self-development journey.

This is entirely your choice.

I hope this gives you further information and insight about an Angelic Reiki treatment, but if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me x Angel Blessings and Love, Debbie x

NATURAL WAYS TO BOOST SEROTONIN LEVELS

Sun, 04 Nov 2018 14:45:48 GMT

Serotonin plays many crucial functions in the human body

We most often associate it with regulating our mood, did you know that most of our serotonin is used to regulate critical movements in the intestines. It plays a function in regulating our sleep cycles and appetite too.

These interconnected systems that rely on serotonin may explain why people suffering from depression may also experience digestive and sleep disorders. Low levels of this important chemical can throw all these systems off balance.

To produce serotonin, the body needs to covert it from tryptophan, an essential amino acid that must be obtained through our diet.

While it’s important to always consult with your doctor or medical practitioner if you’re suffering from long bouts of depression and insomnia or digestive issues, adding in some serotonin-boosting foods may be effective in reducing or reversing some conditions.

Various ways to boost serotonin:

Meditation - clears the mind of worries, stresses and fears to help gain clarity and peace in everyday life.

Exercise – boosts tryptophan -(the main building block of serotonin) – tryptophan is an amino acid found in protein rich foods.

Light Therapy Lamp or Sunlight – stimulates release of serotonin

Avoid sugar – balancing insulin otherwise it spikes and removes the tryptophan reaching the brain

Increase Omega 3’s in the diet

Herbal Remedies – Lemon Balm or Passionflower

Take a probiotic – a unhealthy gut can cause brain fog and lead to low mood and anxiety. Probiotics are anti-inflammatory microbes that seem to affect the gut in a positive way, decreasing stress signalling in the body and possibly even increasing the transformation of the amino acid tryptophan to serotonin in the brain. In both their anti-inflammatory capacity and their serotonin capacity, probiotics have *some* overall effects similar to antidepressants

5HTP - not safe to mix with anti-depressants – must refer to GP or doctor re this product re dosages etc

Vitamin C – a natural antidepressant – helps you to feel happier and aids the neurotransmitters boost physical and mental energy

Vitamin D supplement or from regular sunshine – gives happy mood

Magnesium – direct effect on serotonin balance – magnesium can increase focus, energy and resilence to stress

Zinc – children can be most risk of deficiency

Folic Acid - deficiency can cause low serotonin levels

B3 – Niacin (found in turkey/chicken breast/peanuts/mushrooms/liver/green beans/sunflower seeds/avocado)

B6 – Pyridoxine (found in spinach, turnips/greens/garlic/celery/tuna/salmon/cod)

Theanine – amino acid found in green tea leaves which elevates the brain levels dopamine and serotonin

FOOD SOURCES to help serotonin:

Spirulina

Spirulina is a powerful tonic for the immune system

Spirulina contains an astounding array of nutrients, including chlorophyll, protein, vitamins, major minerals, trace minerals, essential fatty acids, nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), polysaccharides, and a vast spectrum of antioxidants.

Spirulina is extremely high in tryptophan, an essential amino acid. The absence of the amino acid tryptophan in the diet will lead to a deficiency in serotonin (which the body creates from tryptophan). Serotonin is essential for generating feelings of well-being. Serotonin is also a “stress-defense shield” that helps us cope with hardships. A serotonin deficiency has been associated with depression and neurological disorders. (source: thesupermandiet.com)

HIMALAYAN SALT LAMPS

Wed, 17 Oct 2018 15:49:37 GMT

History & Benefits

Himalayan salt crystal lamps are made from salt crystal rocks, formed over hundreds of millions of years and mined over 800 feet under the foothills of the Himalayas.

This rare crystal comes in a range of colours from off-white to apricot to warm pink.

Many of us live and work in surroundings dominated by computers, TV’s, photocopy machines, printers, microwaves, air conditioning and heaters. These “appliances” emit excessive amounts of positive ions into the air. This can result in mental and physical exhaustion and affect our health on a huge level.

The most dangerous level of positive ions occur in polluted cities where exhaust fumes from vehicles, cigarette smoke, dust and electromagnetic pollution combine to create a potent mixture of positive ions and ozone that gradually destroy our lungs and ruin our health in very physical ways.

Why Himalayan Salt Lamps help against this…?

The negative ions produced by the lamps are odourless, tasteless and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance, similar to certain environments such as mountains, waterfalls and beaches. Nature has the ability to heal, and proponents of Himalayan salt lamps argue these pink salt rocks can mimic, to an extent, the feeling you get from being outside. Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of mood chemical serotonin which help to alleviate depression, relieve stress and boost our energy.

FACT:

It has been found that even a small number of negative ions could kill bacteria and quickly take them out of the air so they are less likely to infect people.

SALT CRYSTAL LAMPS are a beautiful alternative to man-made ionisers and have no harmful side effects and no noise.

There are many proven healing properties found with Himalayan salt (please research the internet to find the extent of these), as this differs from the ‘normal’ table salt we consume on food, which has been stripped of nutrients that are naturally found within salt leaving sodium and chloride which leads to fluid retention, high blood pressure and heart problems.

Not only do Salt Lamps look great as part of your furnishings in the home, they have an amazing list of HEALING PROPERTIES :

· Regulates sleep

· Reduces electro-smog

· Reduces symptoms of asthma, allergies and various respiratory ailments

· Purifies the air

· Purer atmosphere that is conducive to healthy living and improving your overall well-being

· Increases energy levels and reduces stress

· Helps reduce symptoms of seasonal depression (SAD)

· Improves skin diseases such as eczema

· Reduces static electricity

· Eases coughing

· Environmentally-Friendly Light Source

CAUTIONS:

Remember, Himalayan pink salt crystals will begin to melt with prolonged exposure to high humidity. For this reason, use caution and keep a close watch on any lamps positioned near sources of steam such as dishwashers, laundry machines, or showers. DO NOT COVER THEM EITHER.

Inexpensive White Crystal

You’ll typically find Himalayan salt lamps that give off a warm pinkish or orange hue. There is such a thing as a white Himalayan salt lamp, but it’s extremely rare and a lot more pricey than the coloured ones. So if you find a white salt crystal lamp that’s not substantially more expensive than the pink/orange versions, steer clear because this is likely an imposter!

No Mention of Pakistan

Deep underground mines in Khewra, Pakistan, are the only source of true Himalayan pink salt. If you’re questioning whether you have a real Himalayan salt lamp, look for mention of Pakistan as the salt crystal’s country of origin. You can also ask the lamp’s maker about the salt’s origin, keeping in mind that it may list the country of origin as the location of the lamp’s assembly.

Lastly, please ensure your pets or children do not eat or lick the salt from the lamps as it is not the edible version and therefore, could be harmful.

I have Himalayan Pink Salt Lamps around my home, especially near electronics and I really do feel the benefits of these natural health aids. If you have already purchased one or more, I am sure you will agree that they are a huge benefit in your life. If you are thinking of investing, please let me know how you find the results, I’d love to hear from you xxx

BENEFITS OF EATING RAW PINEAPPLE

Thu, 11 Oct 2018 15:57:11 GMT

(not canned or dried pineapple – stick to the RAW fruit)

Not only are pineapples delicious and a great sweet treat on the taste buds, they are jammed packed with so many other great nutrients that benefit the body, so get out there and eat some today!

Here are some of the benefits for you to see for yourself:

Excellent Fibre Source

One cup of pineapple contains 2 grams of fibre, almost all insoluble (99%).

Insoluble fibres reduce the risk of type two diabetes and aids digestion problems.

Vitamins & Minerals

One cup of pineapple provides 132% of the recommended daily intake for Vitamin C and 76% of manganese. Pineapples also contain copper, a trace mineral critical for many important functions in the body, such as producing red blood cells, and Folate (B9), which is important for regular function of cells and tissue growth. Folate is very important for women who are pregnant.

Only found in pineapple, BROMELAIN is a unique protein-digesting enzyme. It can help reduce the risk of cancer, heals wounds, and improves tummy health as well as improve symptoms of a bad cough.

Anthocyanins: Pineapple contains low amounts of anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that helps reduce the risk of many diseases, like heart disease.

Improves Immunity & Inflammatory Diseases

Bromelain has been proven in studies to strengthen the immune system and reduce inflammation, and may stimulate immune responses. Pineapple aids in reducing the symptoms of asthma. It contains essential nutrients like vitamin C, and beta-carotene, which help reduce inflammation often faced by asthmatics.

Pineapple is an anti-inflammatory so has an ability to reduce the inflammation of joints and muscles, particularly those associated with arthritis.

Rich in Vitamin C helps it can help by reducing illnesses and boosting the immune system by stimulating the activity of the white blood cells in the body, so by consuming pineapple or taking a bromelain supplement will shorten the timeline of sinus infections, prevent blood clots, and stimulate immune responses, especially in kids.

Improves Bone Health

Pineapple contains an impressive amount of manganese. Manganese is a trace mineral essential for the strengthening of bones as well as their growth and repair .

It is seen as a healing vitamin because collagen is the essential protein base of blood vessel walls, skin, organs, and bones.

Boost Fertility

Foods with high antioxidant content, like pineapple, are recommended for those trying to conceive due to several beneficial vitamins and minerals, including beta-carotene, vitamin C, copper, zinc, and folate.

Many of these elements can help boost fertility in both men and women due to assisting in fighting free radicals.

Boosts Blood Circulation

Pineapple produces copper, an essential mineral vital in a number of enzymatic reactions and compounds in the body. Copper is a necessary mineral for the formation of healthy red blood cells, which deliver oxygen to various organ systems and help them to function at optimum levels.

Pineapple also increases cognitive abilities and can maintain neural pathways to prevent neural disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

It Boosts Eyesight

Macular degeneration is a condition in which adults lose their vision. Beta-carotene present in pineapples can significantly improve vision.

WAYS TO INCLUDE PINEAPPLE IN YOUR DIET…

Pineapple can be added to your daily diet in many forms, just cut into chunks to snack on or maybe crushed pineapple added to cupcakes, cookies, bars, ice creams, yogurt, and various other desserts. Fresh pineapple juice or smoothie is another popular and delicious way to start your day.

I love mine in smoothies and just raw freshly cut on its own – yum x

There are plenty more interesting facts and benefits of introducing pineapples into your world, so take some time to research so you don’t miss out.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have any of the following conditions, you should avoid too much pineapple in your diet – always consult a GP if you have any health condition to check first:

· Interaction with medications : Individuals on medications like anticoagulants, blood thinners, insomnia drugs, antidepressants, and benzodiazepines.

· Heart disorders : People on medication of beta-blockers should consume pineapple in moderation as it can add to the potassium levels in the blood and cause them to rise.

· Kidney diseases : Potassium, in pineapples, is healthy in many ways but can lead to negative effects if the intake of the fruit is not limited.

· Gastro-esophageal reflux diseases (GERD) : People suffering from GERD may witness an increase in serious symptoms like heartburn and regurgitation if too much of pineapple is eaten.

AMETHYST

Thu, 04 Oct 2018 13:16:16 GMT

THE CRYSTAL OF WONDER

An amethyst is a mineral gemstone that comes from quartz. It is usually transparent. It is valued because of its violet colour.

The “powers” of an amethyst also include healing, peace, love, courage, more spirituality, protection and happiness.

Called the “All-healer,” Amethyst is one of the most effective crystals for healing people, plants and animals.

Many people believe amethysts protect one from poison, evil, and getting drunk. This is where the name of this rock came from, The Greek word amethustos , means "without being drunken". Through its traditional use it can encourage sobriety, and can be helpful for those trying to give up alcohol, drugs or other additions.

MEDITATE WITH AMETHYST

Amethyst is the favourite crystal for meditating as it is the stone of spirituality and contentment, known for its metaphysical abilities to still the mind and inspire an enhanced meditative state. Amethyst works in the emotional, spiritual, and physical planes to promote calm, balance, and peace. It is also used to eliminate impatience, which makes it one of the best crystals to bring tranquillity, relieves stress and strain, soothes anger, balances mood swings, and dispels fear.

Its inherent high frequency purifies the aura of any negative energy or attachments, and creates a protective shield of Light around the body, allowing one to remain clear and centred while opening to spiritual direction. Amethyst stimulates the highest vibration of the Third Eye, Crown and Etheric Chakras enhancing cognitive perception as well as accelerating the development of intuitive and psychic ability.

Therefore, placing an Amethyst stone directly over these areas when in a serene meditative state, stills conscious thoughts and guides the mind toward deeper understanding.

AMETHYST & WORK

Amethyst is an excellent crystal to have when you’re serious about building your personal wealth, growing your business, or sharing your abundance with the people you love.

It will foster creative output, brilliant ideas, and dedicated work. It’s the ideal crystal to put on your work table or office desk so that your productivity will be high.

Amethyst will invite harmony in your professional relationships and prosperity in your financial life.

AMETHYST & HEALTH

Amethyst is an excellent crystal to enhance physical vitality, especially after chemotherapy, radiation, or pharmaceutical treatments.

It’s an energising healer on a physical level because it can strengthen the adrenal glands, the reproductive organs, and the heart.

It can aid in the treatment of disorders that affect the lungs, pancreas, and spleen. It can also stimulate fertility and help in the treatment of conditions related to the reproductive system.

Amethyst can work in strengthening the immune system. It can also help you achieve a speedy recovery from a severe illness.

Amethyst is a natural stress reliever and can also detoxify the body.

Amethyst is used frequently to treat tension headaches and relief of migraines. It can also be used to aid insomnia by a piece being placed under your pillow.

Emotionally, amethyst is used in crystal healing to help heal personal losses and grief, bringing one gently past painful experiences and trauma.

AMETHYST & LOVE

In love matters, Amethyst will stimulate your heart and open yourself up to more love. It will break down your walls, and it will release all your fears and worries about love.

It can eliminate destructive actions and ideas and replace them with only affirmative, empowering, and uplifting ones.

Amethyst can help you confront your emotional issues and overcome them. It can bring your hidden or suppressed feelings to the surface so that something positive will take place.

You will have a more honest communication, and you will be surrounded with compassionate energies with relationships on all levels, especially romantic ones.

AMETHYST THE PROTECTOR

Amethyst is also a great crystal of travellers, so carrying a piece with you when you are taking journeys is a wonderful way to harness its energy for protection and safety while travelling.

Amethyst protects against psychic attack, paranormal harm or ill-wishing, and returns the energy back to the universe after being transformed into positive, loving energy, therefore a truly powerful crystal.

HOW TO CLEANSE AMETHYST...

Water is an excellent cleanser for your Amethyst. You may hold your Amethyst under water.

It’s most recommended that you bring your crystal to a pure spring or river. Ocean water is most ideal.

However, if you don’t live near a body of water, running your Amethyst under tap water and just visualizing it washing away all the disruptions and impurities from your crystal will also work.

Using sage or incense will cleanse your crystals too.

Amethyst is also known as a cleansing crystal which is why many healers or other holistic therapists have large amethyst beds so they can cleanse their other crystals on them after treatments.

Amethyst is what I call a “classic” crystal…I use it to compliment other crystals that I use on a daily basis xxx

I use it during healings for clients to benefit from the vibrations and qualities. Whether you have an Amethyst tiny tumble stone or a large raw Amethyst bed or many around your home or you are lucky enough to have an Amethyst Geode, value and tune into its amazing energies and live better surrounding yourself with its magical powers xxx

with love and angel blessings always xxx

THE HOLISTIC APPROACH

Mon, 01 Oct 2018 12:25:19 GMT

WHY USE HERBAL AND NATURAL ALTERNATIVE REMEDIES?

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR HEALTH?

I have always had a love and fascination of herbal supplements, vitamins, minerals, and healthy foods and living since I was at secondary school, but didn't dedicate any time to pursuing that interest fully or in any detail until over 3 years ago, when I decided to go and work for Holland & Barrett.

I knew this would help me to get hands on knowledge being around the customers daily, as well as full training which covered all aspects of nutritional supplements and wellness products - I loved it!

At the same time, I decided to complete an online Naturopath diploma, so I could combine all of the knowledge I gained to enhance my holistic treatments for clients supporting their ultimate wellbeing.

I felt blessed and privileged during my time at Holland & Barrett, getting to know the customers on such a level and how the use of herbal remedies and nutritional changes allowed a huge positive effect on their lives - in some cases eliminating ailments and illnesses, bringing them back to full health or reducing the more severe cases to a much lesser extent.

Using herbal supplements and alternative therapies alongside the holistic approach to life has brought major benefits within my life and that of my family and friends also, and it continues to do so.

The main purpose of alternative remedies for health problems is to stimulate the body’s own natural powers of healing by re-balancing and cleansing. Many herbs share properties of synthetic drugs of orthodox medicine, but unlike synthetic drugs are able to restore health without side effects and without damaging natural equilibrium of the body

My reasons why everyone should invest in them and find out more:

1. Firstly human beings have evolved alongside plants, using them as food and medicine.

2. Great for those seeking a more natural holistic approach to their wellbeing rather than using all orthodox medicines.

3. Can be used safely to enhance health – promoting physical and mental performance too.

4. Can prevent illness – also treats acute problems such as cough/cold/headaches/rashes.

5. Can treat chronic problems such as anxiety/low mood/depression/arthritis/sleep problems.

I truly believe that healthy living, alongside a positive outlook combined with holistic practices, benefits us on a physical, emotional and spiritual level, which is why I am so passionate about it on every level.

If you have any questions or would like to follow a more holistic approach to life but don’t know where to start, then please get in touch with me xxx

THE BEST WAY TO START YOUR DAY...

Sat, 22 Sep 2018 13:20:44 GMT

WARM WATER & LEMON

The simple things in life are sometimes the most important…

The start of your day impacts the rest of your day right…?

So I start and finish mine with warm water and lemon, this is one of my key essentials …this is a long standing favourite “must have” in my life - not only is it a great body detox, here are some of the other BENEFITS why…

AIDS DIGESTION

Lemon flushes out toxins from the body. It encourages the liver to produce bile so aids digestion. Lemons are high in key nutrients too, so are great to have daily, as the digestive qualities of lemon juice can relieve symptoms such as heartburn and bloating and to stimulate the bowels.

CLEANSES YOUR SYSTEM

Lemon acts as a diuretic so it increases the rate of urination in the body, therefore, flushes away toxins and stimulates the liver and aids detoxification.

BOOSTS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

Lemons are high in Vitamin C so they are great for fighting colds, they are high in potassium so this stimulates the brain and nerve function within the body. Vitamin C found in lemons can also help as an anti-inflammatory, so can support asthma symptoms, the vitamin C enhances the absorption of iron in the body. Lemons also have antibacterial and anti-viral immune boosting qualities.

BALANCES PH LEVELS

Lemons are one of the most alkalising foods for the body. Drinking lemon water regularly can help remove overall acidity in the body including uric acid in the joints, therefore, reducing pain and inflammation.

AIDS CLEAR SKIN

The vitamin C and other anti-oxidants in the lemons can help reduce wrinkles and blemishes so helps to achieve that healthy glow to your skin.

ENERGISES & BOOSTS MOOD

The negative charged ions from lemons provide the body with more energy when it enters the digestive tract.

The scent of lemon is also mood enhancing and is used in many holistic practices and essential oils.

Yellow is the colour of the solar plexus chakra – the area around our navel and tummy – it is the source of personal power and governs self-esteem, and the power of transformation. It controls metabolism and digestion. When balanced it helps radiate positive energy from within so the lemon water is a great way to help this purpose.

PROMOTES HEALING

Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) promotes wound healing and an essential nutrient for maintenance of healthy bones, good health and recovery from stress and injury.

FRESHENS BREATH

Lemons can relieve tooth pain and gingivitis. Be aware though citric acid found in lemons can erode tooth enamel so brush your teeth FIRST before drinking lemon water to protect your teeth. Some people drink it through a straw which helps it to avoid your teeth.

HYDRATES LYMPH SYSTEM

Warm water and lemon juice supports the immune system helping hydrate and replace lost fluids in the body. It prevents feelings of tiredness, lack of energy, constipation, lack of sleep and many more.

CAN AID WEIGHT LOSS

Lemons are high in pectin fibre which fights hunger cravings, so can assist your weight loss journey. Lemons are very low in calories so make a good alternative to other drinks such as coffee or high calorie options.

(ref: tasty-yummies.com)

My extra tips…

Try to use organic lemons where you can so you avoid the pesticides from the peel.

I use the juice of half a lemon morning and night but you can adapt to your taste with more if you wish.

Lastly…

Cold water vs. warm water which is good for health?

Traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda do not recommend drinking cold water because of the belief that cold water causes contraction of muscles. On the other hand, drinking warm water increases blood circulation along with protecting internal organs from damage. This is why most health professionals recommend drinking warm water for optimal health. However, on a hot day, you can drink cold water as it cools your body temperature quickly.

YOU DECIDE beautiful ones..i always drink warm water and lemon and even on a summers day I never ice cold drinks, only room temperature water.

Why not give the above a go, see how it improves your daily life and health and let me know xxx

ACV - WHAT IS IT...?

Fri, 14 Sep 2018 22:41:47 GMT

Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar

I use Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with The Mother

Raw and unfiltered, this vinegar is made from organically grown apples. Loaded with protein and probiotics found in The Mother, it adds a delicious, tangy flavour to salads, sauces and even soups.

Apple cider vinegar has been used for centuries to fight coughs and colds, but not all vinegars are created equal. The key to the natural remedy’s health benefits are held in a cobweb-like substance known as “The Mother”. It is used to improve digestion and can boost your immune system.

What is ‘The Mother’ in Apple Cider Vinegar?

You can see Mother as a cloudy substance floating in some bottles of vinegar. The Mother is believed to be rich in health-boosting natural protein, healthy bacteria and acetic acid.

It forms naturally as raw organic vinegar ferments, producing a murky, brownish vinegar. If a vinegar looks crystal clear it’s been filtered and pasteurised to remove The Mother and most of its nutrients.

The benefits

It’s said “Father of Modern Medicine”, Hippocrates, used apple cider vinegar for cleaning wounds and relieving coughs. So why has this folk remedy remained popular since Ancient Greece?

Listed below are some of the health-enhancing properties of The Mother:

It could help improve digestion

Like other fermented foods, unpasteurised apple cider vinegar contains healthy bacteria – the gut-friendly bacteria that helps to keep your digestive system working properly. Cider vinegar could provide relief for those with stomach problems like indigestion or heartburn. This is because it neutralises stomach acid whilst acetic acid fights harmful bacteria.

It could support your immune system

Prevention is better than cure, so protecting your immune system means you’re more likely to ward off diseases and infections. And here’s where the healthy bacteria in raw cider vinegar come into play. Studies have found that healthy bacteria could help you recover sooner if you do get sick.

It could help boost the condition of your hair

If you have dry, brittle hair or an itchy scalp, replacing your usual shampoo with a bottle of unfiltered cider vinegar could give you more manageable locks. Research found that using high alkaline shampoos leads to hair breakage and dryness. The acetic acid in The Mother is thought to help lower our hair’s pH to combat that dry, frizzy feel. Plus, raw cider vinegar is antimicrobial which means it may help control bacteria which leads to scalp itchiness.

It could help improve your skin and nail health

Thanks to its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, apple cider vinegar is used as a natural treatment for healthier skin and nails. Applied as a toner, it may help to balance the skin’s pH and has an exfoliating effect that smooths and softens. And, for rough, cracked heels or mild fungal nail infections, apple cider vinegar is commonly used as a foot soak.

It helps lower blood sugar levels

Keeping your blood sugar levels in check is important and studies have shown that the acetic acid found in cider vinegar could be beneficial. In fact, drinking 4 teaspoons of vinegar before a high-carb meal helped to prevent blood sugar spikes. And if you’re counting your calories, research found that acetic acid stops your body from absorbing the calories from carbs.

Ref: www.hollandandbarrett.com/the-health-hub

There are plenty of other great benefits, and I list just a few here below:

Used as an energy booster - Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is a great daily energy drink. Dilute 1 to 2 tablespoons in a big glass of water, and sip it along with your meals one or two times a day.

Assists various skin complaints – Removes itchy skin from bug bites, poison ivy, or jellyfish stings with apple cider vinegar. Also, treat sunburn pain with a cup of apple cider vinegar added to a tub of water.

Cleanses & detoxifies - The acids in apple cider vinegar bind with toxins and help to remove them from the body. It also improves circulation, contributes to removing mucus and clears out the lymph nodes

Helps sore throat symptoms - Remove painful sore throat bacteria by gargling with apple cider vinegar. You may be astonished to discover your sore throat gone in no time.

Can act as an excellent wart remover - Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and hold it in place over the wart with a bandage or medical tape overnight. Continue until the wart falls off.

Fades bruises - Swelling and inflammation from bruises can be easily removed with an application of apple cider vinegar. It will also remove some of the discoloration.

(Ref: www.davidwolfe.com/apple-cider-vinegar-uses/ )

ONE LAST THING...

before I go, please DO NOT drink apple cider vinegar neat and undiluted – it will damage your teeth enamel – it should always be diluted first (which helps the taste also!) – please read the facts before using any complimentary health product.

Please take some time to research this amazing natural healthy aid on the web – there is a vast selection of helpful benefits and do’s and don’ts too. I hope you see and feel the benefits of ACV like I have beautiful ones xxx

I LOVE SELENITE

Wed, 12 Sep 2018 16:26:42 GMT

strong crystal with amazing psychic, spiritual and meditation benefits

Selenite is a gypsum crystal that comes in many forms and colour variations. However most people associate selenite with its shimmery, luminous form known as satin spar, and today I am referring to the white version.

Getting its name from Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, selenite has properties that make it truly unique for spiritual and metaphysical purposes. It is related to peace, purity, and higher consciousness and is often used to assist with meditation, as well as astral projection.

Selenite is commonly associated with the Crown chakra which is the energy centre that is located just above the crown of the head. This is the chakra of divine wisdom, spirit and unity.

Selenite is a very peaceful, calming crystal that has the ability to clear away negative energy. If you feel stressed out, tired or angry, holding a selenite crystal can help clear away the negative energy and leave you feeling more calm, and centred.

Keep a large piece of selenite in a room can bring peace and a piece next to your bed can create a restful space and help you have a good night's sleep.

Selenite is an excellent crystal to use during meditation. Selenite can allow you to get in touch with your Higher Self, and expand the awareness of your mind and spirit.

Some people find that selenite can leave them feeling a bit dizzy or spacey. For this reason, it's advisable to keep a grounding crystal with you, or nearby, when working it. (Ref: exemplore.com)

Selenite is a good stone to have with you to protect you from any form of psychic attack. People have a way of filling your head with bad ideas, thoughts, and perceptions. Having selenite in your possession will help cleanse your mind of all this negativity.

Selenite crystals can be used to awaken or strengthen your telepathic abilities. They can also be used for angel guidance, and in working with your spirit guides.

It’s good for your emotional well-being, your flexibility, and your intuition. It cleanses your aura of all toxins that affect your physical body.

Selenite promotes good business practices and inspires honesty in business and professional relationships.

Selenite will work on your emotions so that you will live a balanced life with your loved ones. It will carefully direct your feelings so that you don’t end up hurting yourself or others. It will lift you up to a higher level of awareness and help you become the best lover, partner, and friend you can be.

TIME TO NETWORK

Fri, 31 Aug 2018 15:00:23 GMT

Its good to meet new people

I attended the Basepoint Networking Meeting yesterday at Shoreham here in West Sussex, and it was a really informative and interactive session. I really enjoyed my time there.

Being self-employed and working from home, I feel its important that I get out and meet new people and make new connections, be introduced to local businesses and owners, as well as having a change of scenery on a regular basis.

This particular networking group has regular guest speakers and talks which are really inspiring as well as knowledgeable. If you work from home or are a local business and have not yet attended a networking session, I highly recommend this. Its fun, and its a great way to learn about other concepts and ways and it also helps you to see how you can improve your creative ideas and keeping your work alive , successful and inspiring to others.

You might even win the raffle (like I did) and make the headlines!!!

WHY IS IT GREAT TO BE PART OF A GROUP WHEN MEDITATING...?

There is no right or wrong way In meditation – there is nothing that you should be reaching for…it is a state of allowing. A state where, just for a few moments, you stop running the show!

My GUIDED MEDITATION EVENINGS give you an opportunity to have a step-by-step channelled experience with me to a backdrop of relaxing music helping you to visualise and open your mind, bringing a sense of calm, in a safe, sacred space here at my home in WORTHING, West Sussex where you can relax, unwind and meet like-minded people too.

There are so many reasons why joining a group when meditating is so beneficial, here are a few:

* Spiritual support grows stronger: just like the regular meetings with your friends, when you join a group meditation, you create synergy, which translates to the combination of two or more parts to achieve something bigger than what only one could do.

The healing power of group meditation is more powerful than meditating alone, and some studies confirm the existence of a ripple effect of peace in the environment when meditating in groups.

* Learning experience improves: this is a particular benefit for beginners; when you’re new to the practice, you arrive with many fears and doubts; but when meditating in groups, you usually do it with people that have different levels of experience. You sit next to someone who has been doing this for 2 months and someone who has been doing it for 5 years, so you get to learn something different from both perspectives.

* Feedback availability: you not only get to learn from other people’s experiences, but to get useful advice. If you ever get confused or need some guidance on a particular exercise, your meditation partners will be there for you. No one is better than anyone, they all help each other through this experience and together, reach physical and mental peace.

* Creating habits: a tiny disadvantage of meditating alone at home is how easy you can find an excuse for skipping meditation day. It’s just like gym day or healthy diet day; but when you assist to group meditation, your motivation gets higher, it encourages you to be consistent with the practice.

* Group activities are psychologically valuable: we feel better when doing group activities because we create connections with others, tapping into the same silence and source of peace as your meditation mates can make you feel at peace, comfortable, supported and safe.

Actually, a psychological study proved that brainwaves can synchronise while meditating , so the connection you feel with your meditation partners is not only emotional, but physical.

* Reduces loneliness: following these psychological facts, feeling lonely is quite common among people in our times. This is particularly interesting since we have more opportunities of being connected with others all the time thanks to our mobiles and computers, but if we can talk to literally anyone whenever we want to, why we do we still feel lonely? The answer may be that we do not need digital connections, but real ones, and that is where share meditation plays it roll.

When we meditate in groups, we create an environment of acceptance and belonging, we make friends and share something more than a ‘good morning’ like it usually happens in our workplaces.

AURAS

Why its so important to protect our aura...

WHAT IS AN AURA?

The aura, or human energy field, is like a bubble of energy that surrounds every living thing. The aura has also been described as an electromagnetic energy field. Plants, animals, even the earth can be said to have an energy field.

The aura consists of seven levels/layers/auric bodies, also known as the physical, astral, lower, higher, spiritual, intuitional, and absolute planes.

At any given time, your aura emits a mixture of colours and light (it will never be just one colour), and each of these shades says a lot about how you're currently feeling.

PROTECTING YOUR AURA...

Whether you live in a city or you live close to nature, the most important sacred space you have, is the space you inhabit – in other words, your aura. Now, the thing is, we can choose what we bring in to this space or even allow to enter it. To do this however, we need to have respect for boundaries – our own, and to do whatever is necessary when these boundaries are crossed or invaded.

We all know some people can have a negative impact on our energy. This can be due to them being unnecessarily demanding, negative or impossible to please. These kinds of connections drain us and then there’s the more obvious ‘energy vampires’ who seem to take so much from us they leave us feeling depleted and sometimes take always all of our own confidence.

We are going to encounter these kinds of people throughout our lives and we need to keep our ‘sacred space’ (the energy field that surrounds us) replenished and strengthened so we can deal with them, whether this means cutting off contact with them completely or standing in our power and saying “NO” to them.

This comes back to boundaries. Boundaries not only keep you and your energy safe, they allow others the opportunity to grow and become more respectful when dealing with others. Boundaries allow you to communicate honestly but not hurtfully and allow you to come from a place of integrity which builds trust between you and others.

Here are some simple ways of strengthening your aura, keeping it bright, colourful and to ensure you remain happy, balanced and living a life of harmony:

Have fun and laugh a lot

Do lots of exercise and dance

Read inspiring books

Do a meditation which envisions you cleansing your aura

Listen to inspirational music and speakers

Do exciting and interesting things – get out of the rut

Meet new people

Think happy and positive thoughts

Protecting Your Energies

It is very important that you protect and clear your energy on a regular basis

To protect your energy:

The bubble can be any colour of your choice, maybe your favourite colour or a colour that you associate with keeping you safe x

It is especially important to do this regularly so that you keep your body, aura and energy field clear x

To clear your energy:

Take care of yourself and give yourself treats

There is a need for balance which often tends to be towards giving, not receiving… make sure you treat yourself regularly and accept other peoples assistance, presents and compliments!!! Life is about BALANCE and if this is not in flow, then your energy is affected and the universe does not bring new opportunities or gifts x

Wait before saying YES

Connect with nature

Connect with like-minded people who share the same visions, ways as yourself to “fill your cup” and leave you positive and strong xxx

LIVE IN LOVE xxx

MAINTAINING GOOD HEALTH & LIFESTYLE

Thu, 10 May 2018 16:01:33 GMT

How is your health...?

Health is a state of wellbeing and is for everyone. It is a state of feeling comfortable and confident in your body, knowing it is possible to meet every day physical and emotional needs as well as feeling happy, positive and in balance.

Sometimes we take our health for granted, stresses of work, relationships, family life along with chaos and busy modern day life, poor diet along with bad habits and every day pollutants we take in, can take a huge toll in illness, stress related problems, along with other physical, mental and emotional issues.

A healthy balanced diet is the foundation of wellbeing – “You are what you eat” is not just a catchphrase… our bodies rely on essential nutrients to perform at an optimum level, so if our diet is not providing us with the adequate levels of all nutrients, we risk ill health.

I believe nutrition and exercise are the cornerstones of a healthy lifestyle. Regular exercise improves sleep, concentration and increases stamina. It can also fight against low mood and depression and it is vital for a relaxed life.

Achieving and maintaining general good health is an individual process, but I believe the following points are key:

1. Good quality healthy balanced diet, nourishing foods including where necessary the use of herbal remedies and alternative health products including vitamin and mineral supplements.

2. Balance of work, rest and play

3. Pure water and fresh air and time in nature and the elements

4. A toxin free or reduced use of toxins environment as much as possible

5. Regular exercise

ABOUT ME

Wed, 02 May 2018 12:44:10 GMT

Why I am so passionate about helping others to grow x

Hello ‘Beautiful Ones’...

For those of you who have not met me before, let me introduce myself....and for those of you that already know me ... ‘ How are you today?’

I am Debbie. .. and I am an intuitive healer based in Worthing, West Sussex. I feel truly blessed to be living my life purpose, each and every day.

So what does an intuitive healer do?

My belief is that a healer is someone who triggers within you, your own ability to heal yourself. To help you grow and shine, and to become the person you are truly meant to be. My mission is to help empower you to become the happiest, healthiest version of yourself.

How did I begin?

I discovered more and more wonders of healing, after one of the hardest times of my life – an unhappy marriage, and living out a life of fear of so many things. My own healing journey opened doors to self discovery, self worth, forgiveness, gratitude and unconditional love. I did 3 years training at Holland & Barrett, which gave me experience and knowledge into healthy nutrition and herbal supplements, creating the path to wellbeing.

As my life transformed and changed, I grew in strength and confidence and began living in the present, seizing the moment of each and every day. By eating healthy food and exercising, and creating a new positive lifestyle, I began to maintain my own wellbeing. By using the same methods and healing modalities that I had learnt to transform my own life, and combining this with all of the things that I loved, I began to reach out and help others.

Where and What Methods and Healing Modalities do I use?

I work from my ‘ Haven’ at home, which is a sacred and safe place. It is full of powerful angelic energies, and has a magical ambience with crystals, candles, soft music and incense to promote a relaxed environment. It will help you in that moment; to feel inner peace and to guide you into seeing how truly unique and worthy you are in order to embrace your ‘ Beautiful Life’ .

My healing is done through intuitive guidance that I receive from the Angels and my Spirit Guides during Angelic Reiki, Angel Oracle Cards and Chakra balancing with crystals . I hold regular Meditation groups, helping others to bring harmony and balance within their lives.

I truly believe that healthy living alongside a positive outlook combined with holistic practices benefit us on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.

Do you want to be the Best that You Can Be?

Today I am so blessed to meet so many beautiful people, and work with them to help them find their own key to unlock their tool box of wonder and gifts....to achieve their own soul path...helping them to shine and grow.

If you would like guidance how to live your life to the full, and you feel that you would like to connect with me, then please ‘like’ my page and follow me.

Please follow me on my website www.beautifullife.co.uk and facebook page @beautifullife3333 as I will be regularly be posting positive news, quotes and sharing information with an aim to creating a happier world with love and light.

You can find a list of the services that I provide here on my website, so please get in touch as I would love to be a part of your journey!

Much Angel Love & Blessings Always...

ANGELIC REIKI

Sat, 28 Apr 2018 21:04:33 GMT

WHAT IS ANGELIC REIKI…

Angelic Reiki is a safe, completely natural healing tool. The divine energy of Angelic Reiki, by its very nature, creates balance. It searches out anything within our consciousness - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually that is out of balance, and therefore, goes right to the core of issues and conditions. It also expands consciousness, and can change how we see/understand things on many levels including how we feel about ourselves, others and our world.

All treatments take place in a sacred space which is prepared especially for you - allow me to assist you in your healing journey, finding inner peace, balance and harmony.

I use music, crystals, incense and candles during the session. You can relax and lay down during the healing or if you prefer, you can seat on a chair. The whole session lasts about an hour.

It can be used alongside orthodox medicine and/or other complementary therapies.

WHY EAT CHIA SEEDS?

Benefits of Chia Seeds

Chia seeds have become one of the most popular superfoods in the health community. They’re easy to digest when prepared properly and a very versatile ingredient that adds easily to recipes, and aids weight loss and helps to reduce fat.

Its estimated that on average, chia seeds have:

15 x more magnesium than broccoli

5 x more calcium than milk

3 x more iron than spinach

The chia seed is nutrient-dense and packs a punch of energy-boosting power and enhances metabolism.

Chia seeds benefits include promoting healthy skin, reducing signs of aging, supporting the heart and digestive system, building stronger bones and muscles, and more.

Can be sprinkled raw onto almost any food (I have 2 dessertspoons sprinkled over chopped banana and greek yoghurt) or added into cooking or smoothies.

Healthy snippets about chia seeds:
