Back in the early 80’s, I was demonstrating some new subtle energy products – predecessors of the Energy Egg – at an exhibition in London when a kinesiologist said to me, “I saw you demonstrating some amazing techniques at a Mind, Body, Spirit Exhibition recently. But when I tried them with my students and clients, I couldn’t make them work.”

The techniques I’d been using included the use of mudras – special positions with the hands and fingers, like this one on the right.

When people see mudras being used – or read about them in books – they’re usually led to believe they can just form the mudra and it’ll do whatever it’s meant to do … Unfortunately, (or, perhaps, fortunately), reality isn’t that simple …

A mudra works on the human energy body the same way an ‘F’ key on your computer keyboard works. Look at your keyboard and you’ll see all those F Keys – 1 through 12 running along the top. Each one affects the program or application you’re running, like Word or Photoshop, in a different way. Same with mudras. They’re the energy body’s F keys for running certain energy ‘programs’ that some people have in their energy bodies. This means:

• If you are running the same ‘program’ as someone else, and you both use the same F-key – or mudra – it has the same effect.
• If you are running a different program from someone else, and you both use the same F-key – or mudra – it will have a different effect
• If one of you isn’t running any program that uses that F-key – or mudra – it won’t do anything at all for that person

A ‘program,’ in the human energy body – commonly known as an ‘abisheka’ or an ’empowerment’ – can be received in certain circumstances – e.g. being at a certain place at a certain time and performing a certain practice there. If you then develop and apply the energy received through the empowerment, it changes what you can perceive or do.

“…Very powerful … and practical – Turning the World, going to a spirit place, and the Karmatora are all practices I feel incredibly grateful to have received and learned.” Sheila L, UK

Your Need For Empowerment

Unfortunately, just to confuse everyone, ’empowerment’ is a term often used by popular writers even when no empowerment has occurred. For example, I recently read how a writer was ’empowered’ by changing her hair colour. Even though feeling better about yourself is great, that’s not the same as an empowerment. A real empowerment – also known as a ‘descent of a spirit’ – only occurs when a spiral-shaped energy – we call it mana – descends into your crown chakra. This is the sina qua non of any effective spiritual practice; which is to say that any effective technique – meditations, movements, mantras and so on – depends on prior empowerment. In the absence of empowerment, they may be more or less-relaxing rituals but they lack the energy needed for bringing about profound change.

“… Step-by-step, I’ve been following my heart … Which led to recently being a lead in a Shakespeare play … I was thinking yesterday – on my way to an audition – that I’m stepping out of my comfort zone so much I’m nearly always (at least every day) feeling that sense of nervousness that accompanies stepping into the unknown, stepping into that place that is manageably uncomfortable, but uncomfortable enough to challenge … Then I was asked by a TV company to be a psychologist on their show … The show is all about people facing fears, neuro-plasticity in the brain, etc… Synchronicity or what?” IW, UK

An empowerment gives you new abilities, new opportunities and/or new forms of awareness that liberate you from obstructions in one or other areas of your life, the more its mana is cultivated. This might sound like ‘magic,’ but it’s really just one of the natural abilities of the human energy body. With practice, you can deliberately receive a certain form of mana then cultivate its energy – like developing a muscle – to achieve positive, sometimes life-changing, results.

In the Shendo (‘Energy Awareness’) trainings, which are empowerment programs, each participant is carefully observed to ensure that the empowerments delivered through the training are fully received by them. Otherwise, as the kinesiologist mentioned above discovered, mudras or other techniques taught in the training won’t work – as there’s little or no mana in that person’s energy body to make them work. Unfortunately this (spiritual techniques without their motive energy, mana) happens all the time through books, workshops, spiritual or religious trainings or organisations and meditation classes of many kinds.

It’s no different from giving someone a car but forgetting to mention that it needs petrol. It may be a great-looking car – all the bells and whistles – but without petrol it’s not going to get you very far. Of course, this isn’t a popular message – no-one wants to believe the techniques they teach or practise aren’t doing much. But the hard truth is that any spiritual development practice only works to the extent its motive energy, it’s mana, is present. Otherwise, even after years of practice – and we work with many individuals who have spent decades immersed in various spiritual traditions – only the most superficial benefits result even as the mind becomes increasingly inflexible, brittle and set in its ways.

Face Your Heart Direction For A Higher-Energy Life

We appreciate that not everyone can attend a Shendo training. So we created a number of devices that automatically cause minor empowerments to occur. For example, the Omega Pendulum automatically activates the ‘Heart Direction’ empowerment. This empowerment enables you to accurately tune your awareness to a certain compass direction which, when you face that way, increases an energy in your heart chakra with all sorts of positive, potentially life-changing, consequences.

By regularly facing your heart direction and using your Omega pendulum in the ways described, you will strengthen the energy within you that enables you to recognise and fulfill your real needs. Think about all those times when even though you needed to do [. . . fill in the blank], you just ‘didn’t have the energy’ to do it. Also, those times when you thought you needed to do one thing – marry this person, move to that town, accept this or that job – but you really needed to do something else instead.

A real need is an action that causes some of your life energy to ascend up to your crown – generating more awareness and an expanded, more open life. ‘Not needs’ or weakening choices, no matter how ‘right’ they might feel at the time, cause your energy to descend and your life to contract or become more obstructed in one or other areas.

No matter how much we may rationalise them to ourselves or others, our energy-descending choices lead us in unfortunate directions. Or, at least, directions that generate misfortunes we wouldn’t, otherwise, have had to manage. For example, you may see . . .

• that attractive person across the room – but what you don’t see (without sufficient energy awareness) is how their energy weakens a point on your sternum, called the ‘thymus chakra,’ that directly determines your happiness. So a relationship with them would damage your ability to be happy. This is happening, for millions of people, right now … but below most people’s normal perceptual radar.

• or, that appealing picture at the art exhibition – but what you don’t see is how its energy weakens an energy point at your navel that controls your wealth or abundance ki. So when you buy it and proudly hang it on your wall you start losing the energy you depend on for the success of your business.

• alternatively, maybe a place you are considering moving to doesn’t particularly appeal to you – but what you don’t see is how the energy of that place opens your heart chakra in a way that would lead to an encounter with someone who will change your life in extraordinary ways . . .

For a lot of people, these may sound like absurd assertions. As a species, our mind is very dominant and is strongly attached to avoiding or dismissing the unknown – including the infinity of knowledge unknown to current science. It takes much less effort to automatically reject the possibility of becoming more aware than to invest your energy in cultivating your higher awareness. But for those who wish to expand their perceptual horizons and awaken their personal powers, activating mudras through receiving empowerments is a powerful way forward.

“…work’s taken off, in directions and ways I could never have imagined … all the changes and growth and magical ways in which life/spirit has manifested. I know that the ‘magic’ I experience and that people see me ‘attract’, is all down to … the Way of Life … on a flight on my way home from Athens, I felt the need to jot down some ideas about a new book I could write … Then I went back to work and forgot about it. Two weeks later I got an email ‘out of the blue’ … from a publisher asking if I’d consider writing a book for them – on the exact topic I’d written out two weeks earlier!” NF, UK

Entering The World Of Energy . . .

Ironically, even though we spend our entire life in the world of energy – and even though it affects every area of our life – we remain almost completely unaware of it. Why do we tend to live our lives in the dark? Because our senses are tuned to the physical world – so that’s the world that seems most important, most real, to us.

Fortunately, you can deliberately cultivate your ability to recognise and fulfill your real (i.e. energy-ascending) needs – that’s all your needs at every level, including the physical level. Facing your heart direction is one of many ways that help you achieve this extra-ordinary clarity. But first, in order to recognize your heart direction, you’ll need to use a mudra that works for this: ‘Gift mudra’

Using this mudra with an Omega pendulum will tune your awareness to one of the 8 compass directions that is your heart direction. Remember, it’s like an F-key that now works in your energy body because of the mana you receive from the Omega pendulum. So we can say the Omega pendulum ‘activates’ Gift mudra, so now when you form the mudra (see the photo here) you can discern your heart direction.

There are lots of other things Gift mudra can help you do too. But being able to recognise your heart direction is an ability that automatically appears when you first use the Omega pendulum. Using Gift mudra to tune your awareness to something you couldn’t see before is one of your first steps into the world of energy.

. . . One Step At A Time

Using activated mudras opens your awareness to the world of energy so you can see clearly how your life is being, or will be, affected by your choices. The more you open your awareness by living with intent – which means, ‘acting on the basis of your heightened awareness and fulfilling your real or energy-ascending needs’ – the more empowerments you will receive for other mudras and abilities that increasingly benefit your life and enable you to be of service to others too.

Even though we all live in the world of subtle energy – the natural environment of our energy body – without developing your awareness of that world, you won’t be able to see a mudra’s effect. You simply have no way of telling what it’s doing. Or even if it’s ‘working’ at all. By choosing to develop your energy awareness, you are making the choice to become free of the innumerable constraints imposed by ‘normal’ consciousness.

Most mudras – and their corresponding effects – can’t be activated simply by using a Perfect pendulum or Omega pendulum. They require specific exercises, meditations or other specialised practices applied over periods of time to become fully active.

A ‘mudra’ is, at its simplest, a position – the position of your energy relative to that of something or someone else. Cultivating your awareness of the relationships between your energies and other energies opens an immensity of fortunate opportunities and abilities. This is the growing realisation enjoyed by active participants in the shendo way of life.

As you receive empowerments then open your awareness by using mudras and other life-changing practices, your eyes (and other senses) open to a whole new world – a world that has always been within you and around you just waiting to be seen.

“Gratitude in my heart … words feel too small to express it. When I look back at my life 6 months ago it feels galaxies away – thanks to your guidance, light you are shining and amazing tools you are sharing. Thank you for opening the path for my Heart” LW, Poland

10 years ago I embarked on a journey of a lifetime. I didn’t know it at the time. As far as I was concerned I was simply signing up for a two-day ‘spiritual development’ workshop – albeit one that had drawn me in rather magically.*

I’d attended many courses and workshops. I’d been a yoga teacher, trained under various teachers and gurus, chanted, prayed and taken plant medicines that held the promise of a lasting connection with the divine. Yet the ‘Living with Energy Awareness Training’ promised nothing more than to provide me with a set of tools that could help me ‘change my energy to change my life’. Little did I know those tools would become the foundations upon which my future life would be built.

Yet, the changes didn’t come how I’d imagined. Looking back over the past 10 years, my life appears simply to have become more ‘normal.’ I thought I’d have developed special powers, that I’d be some kind of sorceress or tantric goddess by now. But perhaps they were the longings of a 20-something year old girl on a spiritual quest rather than the aspirations of the woman I am today. Which in case you’re wondering, are far less glamorous. Today my spiritual path is my life, the everyday, the mundane. It sounds clichéd but the ‘real’ spiritual work has come in the form of fundamental changes in my relationships; at home, at work and those within myself – the old relationships I’d internalised and was still influenced by. Changes like learning to be kind, first to myself and then to others. And learning to be of service, even when I don’t feel like it. (Especially when I don’t feel like it!)

As someone who has lived with the constant urge to move on after a year – relationships, jobs, homes – it’s testament to the Living with Energy Awareness Training and subsequent, monthly ‘Way of Life‘ teachings that, with the exception of my 13 year old son, it’s the only thing I’ve ever fully committed to. I could put it down to resonance, or fate, but actually I think the main reason I’ve spent the last ten years developing my energy awareness this way is that it really does work.*

Yet unlike other paths or teachings, with the Way there is no set path. No formula to follow, group thinking to conform to, or personalities to be admired. Living with Energy Awareness is between you and your spirit. Of course there’s support and community, but everyone I know within the Shendo (the name given to the monthly teachings) lives a unique life. Artists, musicians, CEO’s, psychologists, stay-at-home parents – each with the same set of tools yet leading remarkably different lives; each of them shining steadily brighter in their chosen fields.

One of the ‘mottos’ of the Shendo is ‘change your energy to change your life.’ So has my life changed, ten years on? Unquestionably yes. In every way. But here are some practical examples of how my life’s changed for the better:

• That urge I mentioned that kept tripping me up my entire life, the one where I couldn’t settle into anything? It’s gone. Now I’m able to understand the energies at play within me and choose to keep giving to, and sustaining, my relationships and career.

• I used to be scared of spiders, flying, the sea, small spaces, the dark and terrorist attacks. In fact I was scared of pretty much everything. Now it’s just terrorists. That’s a massive load of energy freed up – which now powers my creativity, health and wealth!

• I was perpetually distracted around my loved ones – unable to focus fully on them, always lost in my own thoughts. Now I’m more present in body, mind and spirit when I’m with them. It’s a work in progress, but it’s a tangible, ongoing positive change.

• Until recently I would sabotage my creative work – believing it wasn’t good enough, or that I wasn’t good enough. Now I honour my creativity as a woman and share my work with the world, regardless of how it’s received. It’s a huge and welcome relief, one I give thanks for every day.

• In terms of diet and health, I’m fitter, stronger and have more energy as I approach forty than I had in my twenties.

So yes, it works.

And then there’s the other stuff that lights up my life. Like having a relationship with my energy body that means I can trust it to take me to where I need to be. From being called in a dream to visit a particular spirit place (somewhere I need to go to receive more energy) to grabbing my keys and following my feet out of the door late at night, with no idea why they’re taking me outside, only to see that I’d left my car lights on. In that instance, my energy, or spirit, saved me from being late for an important meeting the next day because my car battery was flat!

Little moments of magic like that increasingly brighten my days. Over the years I’m learning to listen to my energy body more and follow the direction it gives me – and in doing so open my world to experiences that I couldn’t have planned in a million years. ‘Surprises’ have become a delightful part of my daily life.

Take my work for example. I could never have predicted I’d be running a non-profit organisation to protect the seas from plastic pollution. Three years ago I was training to be a TV presenter and I was afraid of the sea, remember? I wouldn’t go in it, on it, or over it (unless drugged! Just call me B.A. Baracus).

Yet one day I recognised, through my energy awareness, that I needed to be of service to the sea. Over the months, as I gave my attention, time and energy to my ‘City to Sea‘ project, I experienced the most direct healing of my life. As I slept, the Ocean – in various forms – came to me in my dreams, night after night. She showed me the life she supports and gave me a direct experience of what it’s like to be these creatures. To swim as a whale with my family by my side; to be one of a pod of dolphins speeding through the surf. By the time the dreams stopped, my fear had gone. It was one of the strangest and most magical experiences of my life – and yet just one example of my ‘Way of life’ in action.

Naturally I still hit bumps along the way that throw me off course, days when my commitment waxes and wanes. But the thing with Energy Awareness is that, once you get it, whatever junction you come to in life, you’ll be able to navigate your own way through it – seeing which practitioner or doctor to go to for a health issue, which remedy to buy for your child’s hayfever, which person to talk to to guide out of a slump, the right place for you to live … you’ll be able to truly follow your heart to a more expanded, happy and aware life. And in today’s society, with so many gadgets and gizmos all clamouring for our attention, the ability to quietly sense your heart’s desire – and act on it – is a truly wonderful gift to the world.

First published in Kindred Spirit Magazine in 2007

A year and a half ago, in a field in East Sussex, I saw a man standing in a meadow. Dressed in white, up to his knees in wildflowers and in the middle of what looked like a dynamic energy practice. I’d practised yoga, t’ai chi and chi gong, but this was unlike anything I’d seen before. I watched him for a while, rhythmically moving his arms, co-ordinating movement with his breath, and I knew I had to find out what he was doing.

I approached him after he’d finished. We started talking and he began to tell me about the exercise he’d been doing. It was called ‘Falling Lightning’, and was just one of a number of practices he’d learnt on a course called the Energy Awareness Training. He went on to explain that when practised facing a particular direction, Falling Lightening would bring more energy into an area of his life. I was already a bit lost at this point, so happily he agreed to tell me more. So we sat in the meadow, with the sun shining high, and carried on our conversation.

He pulled out a pen and paper from his bag and drew an 8-pointed star. On each point he wrote a compass direction, and then for each direction wrote a corresponding energy. East was health, West was creativity, North was work & career and so on. He continued to explain that we all receive these eight energies, or ‘Life Ki’s’ from the specific directions, and how much of the energy we receive depends on the energies within us. By practising Falling Lightening facing South-West, he was beckoning more partnership ki, or life energy, into his life.

This was a complete revelation to me. I had no idea these life energies existed as something flowing from somewhere, and not only did they exist, but they could be harnessed and used! I’d heard before that feng shui used the directions in the home to improve certain areas of the home-owners life, but never before heard someone explain how that could be possible.

Inside I was jumping up and down with excitement and I knew that a new way of experiencing the world was about to dawn. I’d been shown a door, and I couldn’t wait to open it. 

I asked him if he’d teach me the practice. He was reluctant, as it was only a small part of the weekend training he’d taken, and if I wanted to see the bigger picture I’d have to take the training myself. He explained that if I wanted more money, for example, and started practising Falling Lightening facing South East to beckon more wealth, then I would be acting on my desires, which may or may not be what I really need. If I took the training I’d learn how to sense which direction my energy, or spirit, needed me to face. In essence, I’d be handing over the steering wheel from my mind to my heart. Perhaps I would test positive on facing Northwest, to bring more helpful people into my life, which could in turn, bring an opportunity to make more money (thus resolving a lack of wealth ki). I started to understand that it may not simply be a matter of getting more of what I want, but learning to identify what it is I really need.

Despite what he’d told me, I still didn’t want him to go without teaching me the exercise! He eventually gave in, on the condition that I’d call the couple in the Pyrenees who ran the Living With Energy Awareness Training within the next few weeks. I agreed. Ten minutes later, I had a new practice, a drawn on piece of paper and his phone number! I thanked him for taking the time to sit with me a while and share his experiences, and we went our separate ways… I was later to find out that at the time I first saw him he had been doing Falling Lightening facing South-West, beckoning more partnership ki into his life. It had worked, as we later became lovers!

Weeks passed, and each morning that summer I practised Falling Lightening. I forgot my agreement to call about the training.

That September, I went on a workshop in London, which promised a new way of healing long-standing health issues. On the first morning, at registration, a beautiful old lady with flowing long grey hair made a bee line for me. I’d noticed her the moment she entered the room. We introduced ourselves, me, a 28 year old wanting to heal a hernia, and her, a 78 year old, wanting to heal a cancer. To say we hit it off is an understatement. It was like two best friends meeting again after years apart. Rather conveniently we were asked to pair up for the days programme, so we spent the rest of the day together.

Over lunch together, I noticed her doing something strange. When I asked if she needed me to get her bag from the cloakroom, she looked over at the queue, did something with her hand, paused briefly, and then said “No thanks!”. I asked her what an earth she was doing! She explained that she’d used an energetic test, to see if she needed anything from the cloakroom. And she didn’t! Once again, my curiosity exploded and I asked her to tell me more. All she was doing, she went on to say, was tuning into her energy to see if it went up or down when making a decision. She continued to explain that every choice we make, be it what to eat, who to see, where to go – has an effect on our energy. It will either make our energy go up (ascend) or make it go down (descend). She went on to demonstrate with the miniature feast we had spread before us on the table. Forming a hand position (which from my yoga training I recognised as a mudra) she looked at the different foods, then turned to me and said “yes to bread, olives and humous, no to the sprouts”. I felt the same excitement in me that I’d felt in the meadow some months before.

Here was someone showing me that there was a way to actually experience how my energy responds to something I’m about to do. I expressed my enthusiasm over her developed sense of awareness. But I thought she must be ‘one of those people’ who are naturally able to sense and perceive energies. At that time, I was always wanting to make the ‘right’ decision but forever getting lost in my head in the process (some might say I was indecisive!). So naturally I was delighted to watch her make a choice based on her energy, and not on what she was thinking! That was a gift I wished I had. I told her how much I’d love to be able to do what she just did. “Well you can learn it darling!” she replied. “It’s this wonderful man in the Pyrenees, him and his wife come to the UK and give the most amazing trainings. I’m in my seventies, and have been into these things for over 40 years, been on more workshops than I can remember, and he’s the best I’ve seen.”

Suddenly it dawned on me that I was hearing about the very same couple I’d heard about in the meadow! I couldn’t believe I was hearing about them again! I told her about my experience early that summer, and asked her if they gave trainings in Brighton, which included a practice called Falling Lightening. With a huge smile on her face she said “Yes! There you go. You’ve heard it twice – now take the training!”

Needless to say, the very next week, I called Stephen and Lynda Kane, and booked myself onto the next Living With Energy Awareness Training (LWEAT).

As I sit here at my desk, eighteen months on from my first training with Stephen & Lynda, I feel different. It’s been a subtle transformation, nothing radical has happened, yet I feel radically different. For over a year I’ve been making decisions based on my energetic needs instead of my wants. This hasn’t been easy to do. And I’ve battled time and time again over whether testing what to drink actually makes any difference. But it does, and the more I live being guided by my spirit instead of my head, the more I see.

Learning to ‘test’ my energetic response to a decision is one of the things I learnt on the training. The more ascending choices I make, the more energy I have, and the brighter my life becomes. So even the smallest of decisions (like testing what colour top to wear this morning) can increase my awareness energy. A wonderful thing about making decisions based on my energetic needs is that it’s full of surprises. Once I was testing whether to go to see a movie with some friends. I’d been wanting to go for ages, and when I got a ‘no’ to going, I was annoyed. I decided to trust my test and stay at home. Low and behold, an hour later, I got a call from an old friend who was in the area, and who desperately needed help and somewhere to stay the night. I was delighted to hear from her, as I was living in deepest darkest Wales at the time. Had I gone to the cinema, I wouldn’t have been able to help her.

Three years ago I went to see a clairvoyant. He could see that in two years time I’d be training in something, but it didn’t involve certificates or qualifications. He said the best way to describe it was that I’d be developing my intuition to the degree that I’d be able to sense the small stuff, like whether or not it was the right time to hang out the nappies on the line. It seemed like an obscure thing to hear at the time, but exactly two years later, having forgotten all about the reading, I found myself on a weekend course learning to do just that! There I learnt how to test my actions, and this gave me one of the most empowering gifts I’d ever been given – the power to make conscious choices.

Suddenly it was up to me.

There’s a lot more to energy awareness than testing my actions. Each day (well, most days!) I go for a Power Walk. This technique, also taught on the LWEAT, is a powerful yet simple way of releasing certain restrictive energies from my past. I can Power Walk to leave past sorrow behind, or anger, or past loves… to mention a few. And the lighter the load of the past becomes, the more energy I have to be in the present. Just this afternoon, as I stopped at the end of my drive to feel which way my energy was flowing (another learnt technique!), I noticed it was going in the opposite direction to where I wanted to go. I wanted to head to the river, but my energy was heading towards the shops. Reluctantly I followed it. I’ve not yet mastered the ability to always accept the spirit in my life with a smile! A few houses down the road my energy swung to the left, and there, on a fence post, was my favourite woolly hat that I’d lost some days previously! I’d been searching high and low for it, and had I followed my head instead of my energy, I’d still be wondering where it was!

Now movies, nappies and woolly hats may all seem like pretty minor events, but I’ve also had to make some big decisions using my energy awareness.

As I mentioned, I was living in Wales in 2005, and had broken up with my son’s father. To keep the peace and to keep things simple I decided to stay in Wales rather than return home to the south coast of England. Life was challenging for me, everything seemed like a struggle. As time went on and my awareness grew, I realised that once again I was following my head, and not my heart. A technique from the LWEAT enables me to experience how much energy I am receiving from the sky. Depending on what my needs are, certain ‘skies’ give me more energy. Put simply, some places are better for me than others. And, as I suspected, I was not receiving the energy I needed from the sky in Mid-Wales. I tested, and found a ‘positive sky’ in Southampton. So I had a tough choice, stay in Wales and keep the family ‘together’, or move 5 hours away to suit my energetic needs. It wasn’t easy but pretty soon I felt like I had no choice. I was starting to see that if I really wanted to change, to be free of the fears that hold me back, then I’d have to start following my spirit. And as it turned out, moving to Southampton was the best move I made that year.

So what’s the point of all this? Why bother to test whether to have a coffee or a herbal tea? Why spend time testing what colour clothes to wear? Or what movie to see? Why does it matter? Personally, I recognised a long time ago that there were many aspects of myself that didn’t seem like me. I always felt there was a more real version, hiding under layers of other people’s beliefs. So I started my journey of discovery. Many workshops, courses, and gurus later, I still felt like I was facing the same issues again & again & again. I’d go on a course, it would gloss over the issue in question – fear, lack of self-love, etc – and I’d leave feeling fantastic. But the issues were still there. I didn’t feel like they were actually being transformed. The past 18 months have shown me, all be it with a lot of effort, that real change is possible. In order to go beyond our karmas, and enter into the realm of who we really are, we need all the awareness energy we can get.

This is why the small stuff counts as much as the big stuff. Each ascending choice that we make has a positive impact on our future. And these choices generate an accumulation of energy that gives us the strength to face and transform our karmas into higher awareness.

It’s not a matter of worrying whether or not I’ve made the right decision, it’s about learning to recognise what it is that I need to do now. I feel like I’m only just beginning to truly see the alchemy in each moment. Doing what I need to do from moment to moment turns karmas into awareness, lead into gold.

Concerned parents are becoming increasingly aware of the health risks associated with WiFi radiation. And, most recently, the potential damage to children who are exposed to Wifi both at school and at home.

Headaches,dizziness, fatigue, irritability or insomnia can be the first signs that your child or yourself have been affected by ‘WiFi stress.’ More worryingly, altered white blood cells, childhood leukemia and impaired motor function have also been shown to increase in children who have been exposed to WiFi radiation within limits set by UK government guidelines.

34 Scientific Studies Showing Adverse Health Effects From Wi-Fi

Although the UK government is, unfortunately, still in the ‘denial’ phase of acknowledging harm from continuous exposure to low levels of pulsed microwave radiation, (of which WiFi is one form), other governments are starting to pay attention. For example, France is banning WiFi from nurseries and restricting its use in primary schools.

Leading expert in radiation technology, Dr Erica Mallery-Blythe, has called for a ban on all Wifi in the UK. She stated last week in a national paper http://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/wellbeing/11589857/Is-Wi-Fi-making-your-child-ill.html

They all have the same WHO health classification – 2B – or ‘possible carcinogen’. However, three of them are BANNED but one – WiFi –  isn’t . . .

All this makes for depressing news, but there are ways to help protect yourself or your loved ones against the damaging effects of Wifi radiation.

Three easy ways to help protect against ‘WiFi stress’ …

1. Don’t use Wifi for your internet connection. Most people don’t realise they don’t need it. Instead connect at home using an Ethernet cable between your computer and your router. If you need to share the internet around your home, use DLAN plugs – available everywhere. Don’t forget to switch off your WiFi after you’ve cabled up. Follow this link to get your own free downloadable Disabling WiFi instructions.
2. Purchase an Omega Energy Egg set for protection against, and for reducing symptoms associated with, WiFi and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.

The Omega Energy Egg package comes as two beautiful white, charged, jade eggs

that contain resonances specifically designed to counter the effects of EMF and other environmental stress and work for your own personal WiFi protection. Cleverly set in their own transmitters, you don’t need to carry them with you for protection. Once tuned to you or your child, they can sit happily at home working 24/7 to reduce experienced symptoms and give you protection. Find out more here…

 

“I have been electro-sensitive for years and have difficulty using computers and mobile phones but have to for work. Since receiving my first Guardian Energy Egg, I was protected against EMF’s and have not looked back. I used to ensure I carried it everywhere until the Omega Energy Egg was born and (now) I no longer carry an Energy Egg with me as it does the job from my home.” Yvette B, UK

3. Replace your cordless (DECT) landline phones with corded ones. Most cordless telephones give off microwave radiation whether or not they’re in use and are as bad, if not worse, than mobile phones. Siemens ‘Eco Plus’ models are an exception..

Since so much of our clinical work is now focused on helping people reduce their EHS (electro-hypersensitivity) – and since pictures are worth a thousand words – here’s two photographs comparing cells from rats’ livers after the unfortunate rats were exposed to a radio frequency signal at 2.45 GHz (i.e. Wifi) for only one (1) hour per day for a total of 21 consecutive days –

The scientists say: The exposition to the radio frequencies (2.45 GHz) induced metabolic disorders [this can include digestive diseases, allergies, etc.], oxidative stress [e.g. accelerated aging] and a diabetic-like status

Translation – A short-term, minimal exposure to wifi is Very Bad News. And, by the way, diabetes (not to mention allergies) is already a ‘pandemic – and growing.

“The latest surveys show that the rates of allergy are increasing throughout the world, affecting up to 30-35% of people at some stage in their lives.” Allergy UK

Of course, you might say, “I’m not a rat, so what’s the problem?” Well, I’ve got news for you – you are. You and your children – if you have any, bearing in mind that Wifi also attacks fertility – are unwitting ‘rats’ in the government’s uncontrolled ‘experiment’ which is earning it billions of pounds of revenue every year. It was £20 billion a few years back. But now I’m told it’s a great deal more . . .

The Tobacco Smoke Of The 21st Century

‘Evidence is emerging that the health hazards associated with wireless microwave are at least comparable to, if not worse than, those associated with cigarette smoking.’   Dr. Mae-Wan Ho

Even though Wifi is classified by the WHO as a ‘possible carcinogen’ (2B) – the same as DDT (banned), asbestos (banned) and tobacco smoke in public buildings (banned), scientists who aren’t funded by industry or the government say it should really be re-classified as a ‘probable carcinogen (2A).’ Or simply, as a ‘carcinogen.’ Yes folks – it really is that bad . . .

When the government learned of the dangers of tobacco smoke in the 1950s, the British Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, ignored evidence of a link between cigarettes and lung cancer for a long time – he said the government ‘couldn’t afford’ to let the public know. Since then, who knows how many millions of people have died from lung, heart, bladder, kidney, etc. disease as a consequence of the government’s prioritisation of its money over your health.

This is why you will keep seeing the ‘news’ that symptoms from Wifi are all in your head; your baby is screaming because it’s a hypochondriac; and you are a ‘luddite’ or just stressed if you are losing your memory or lying awake at night unable to get to sleep . . . two common symptoms of Wifi poisoning.

Meanwhile, as Professor Olle Johannson of the world-famous Karolinska Institute says,  ‘Health Risk From Wireless? The Debate Is Over.” The reasons for dementia now starting in people in their ’40 are staring us in the face. It’s just a matter of how much you are willing to recognise reality . . .

When you read about ‘experts’ talking about a ‘lack of scientific evidence’ you are being exposed to politics – politics that is designed to keep you complacent.

34 Scientific Studies Showing Adverse Health Effects From Wi-Fi

Nowadays the word, ‘science,’ is commonly used as a means of manipulating public opinion. It isn’t a conspiracy. It’s just a way of avoiding the extremely costly – to the government and the telecomms industry – elephant in the room. The longer you believe Wifi is okay, the longer you’ll keep ‘smoking’ it . . .

Switch It Off

No doubt you noticed that the above images come from a study of the (beneficial) effects of olive leaf extract on the damage caused by Wifi. So you might want to believe that popping some olive leaf extract every day will keep you safe . . . it won’t. Sure, it helps – just as vitamin C can help protect your heart and lungs against the damage caused by cigarette smoke – but this is like attempting to keep dry with a small umbrella in an endless rainstorm . . .

Unlike the rats, chances are you are being exposed to multiple Wifi signals 24 hours per day 7 days a week . . . for how many years so far? Just as for smoking, the solution is to switch it off – the router nearest you (i.e. your own) is usually the worst. Then start educating your neighbours. No ‘authority figures’ (like the government) are going to help you – they are too invested, literally, in your staying hooked on this technology.

And, yes, the science already shows that Wifi affects the brain in ways similar to some drugs. People are addicted to it. And they can get very upset when you suggest they forego their fix. Still, this is the age we live in. Unlike tobacco smoke, your neighbours’ Wifi is coming through your walls and harming you and your kids – ‘passive wifi!’ It makes passive smoking look like the ‘good old days!’

Nowadays, in the Life Energy Solutions Clinic, we see a constant stream of people who are ill from Wifi. And they usually have no idea it’s causing half or more of their symptoms . . .

So do yourself, your family and your neighbours a favour and go back to using a cable for your internet connection. Or, with D-LAN plugs, you can share access to the internet in your home through your home’s electrical system rather than via microwaves through your brain. At the very least, switch your Wifi off at night when your brain is most vulnerable to it.

Ironically, even though modern routers come with Wifi automatically switched on, no-one needs it except when they happen to travel with their computer, or if they have a smartphone they ‘must’ use to get online at home. So people are being irradiated at home for no real reason at all . . .

‘People don’t want to hear that it [pulsed microwave radiation] is harmful so they think,”It won’t happen to me.”‘ Dr. Andrew Goldsworthy

Life Energy Awareness Training

By the way, we tend to be fairly ‘leading edge’ when it comes to new computer technology. We couldn’t wait for the ‘wireless office,’ so we got a wifi router as soon as they became available. And, by the afternoon of the same day, we’d switched it off . . . That was quite a few years ago now.

You don’t need to wait for official, ‘scientific,’ announcements if you develop sufficient awareness of your own energy. We could see, almost immediately, how wifi affected the nervous system, adrenal glands, thyroid, heart, etc., etc.. It wasn’t a pretty sight. And with more powerful technology – e.g. BT Wifi with FON or Comcast’s XFinity – irradiating everyone in a nationwide wifi ‘mesh,’ it’s a lot worse now.

So in case you would like to have more ability to benefit your or your family’s health, by learning how to become aware of exactly what’s affecting you – positively and negatively – and what to do about it, there are just two places left [at the time of writing this blog post] on the Life Energy Awareness Training – now called Awaken Your Energy Awareness (day 1) and Recover and Protect Your Energy (day 2).

Now, for your and your kids’ sake, instead of waiting for the government to suddenly ‘discover’ Wifi is harmful, (don’t hold your breath), switch your Wifi off. You may find this information helpful – How to Switch Off Your Wifi

However, nowadays, it can be tricky – e.g. BT Wifi with FON has to be switched off in two different ways, both the ‘in your home wifi’ and the bit of your broadband wifi signal they use to beam out of your house so that every BT customer in the street can log on wherever they are. Yup, they’re using your internet connection that you pay them for to provide the nationwide wifi mesh. Or just get a router with a Wifi On/Off button; or buy one without Wifi from eBay. Whatever it takes, it’s worth it.

Alternatively, if you need help with all this, contact the Life Energy Solutions Clinic for a short session and we’ll help you sort it out.

And, in case you’re wondering, some of the most common symptoms of Wifi poisoning include . . .

Insomnia    Fatigue    Memory Loss    Dizziness    Anxiety    Depression    Brain Fog   Eye Irritation    Irritability    Flushes     Rashes    Head pressure or Headaches   Rapid heart rate   Impaired motor function or reaction time

Good luck with protecting yourself and your family from this most insidious threat to your health and well-being.

BTW. If someone says “Wifi isn’t a problem because it’s much weaker than a mobile phone signal,” you’re listening to someone who either hasn’t seen (or has ignored) the studies demonstrating harm from Wifi signals 10,000 times lower than industry-influenced ‘government guidelines.’

Fact is, it’s the nature, (not the strength), of Wifi that’s the real problem – it’s a pulsed microwave signal of a particular kind. Given the choice, we’d ‘live with’ a mobile phone signal (as long as its source isn’t too close) a lot sooner than any form of Wifi. Nevertheless, keep your phone on ‘airplane’ when you aren’t using it. And use the speaker with the phone held away from you whenever you possibly can.

An email landed in our inbox recently about a web page featuring photos of people who took ‘selfies’ immediately before they died. Since death is a subject that tends to involve all of us now and then, I thought I’d have a look at each of the soon-to-be deceased’s death energy to see what they had in common – what made it their ‘time to die.’

Since I first became aware of it, death [energy] has always looked the same to me as it does to other seers – a black line of energy starting at the apex of the energy field and moving straight down towards the crown chakra (at the top of each person’s head). When [the energy of] death reaches someone’s crown, it starts to penetrate the 7th chakra – a process that may take several months before physical death then ensues.

However, since reviewing these photos, I’ve come to see this process in a slightly different light. For each accident victim, I noticed that the death signal is not just that descending flow of energy. When it reaches the 7th chakra, it actually extends all the way across from left to right, like a narrow band or slice stretching across the centre of the head.

More interestingly, I noticed the descending ‘death signal’ was, in every case, preceded by a ‘trigger signal’ rising up from each person’s heart chakra to their crown. One could say, from this sequence, that they (their heart chakra) ‘called’ their death to them.

Fascinated now, I then looked at other people who died from disease or ‘old age’ soon after their photo was taken. In each one, the ‘descent of death’ was also preceded by the ‘trigger signal’ rising up from their heart chakra and arriving at their crown chakra. By comparison, people who aren’t about to die, (as far as we know), also all have a rising death trigger but it’s not yet near their crown.

In all our trainings, we’ve always put a lot of attention on the heart chakra because the energy there is so fundamental to someone’s ability to transform their karmas – the challenging experiences (‘good’ or ‘bad’) that unfold in their lives.

Karmas are suffered (if they are misfortunes) or, with sufficient energy of the necessary kind, transformed into higher awareness. In short, the less energy in someone’s heart chakra, the more their problems and life challenges become fixed in place – e.g .a chronic illness – regardless of their efforts to change  – and the ‘lower energy’ their future becomes. Fortunately, we can all cultivate our heart chakra energy.

Now, having looked at the ‘death trigger’ in more detail, it’s becoming apparent that not only can you, as our slogan puts it, ‘change your energy to change your life,’ you can also, most probably, change your energy to change (or perhaps postpone) your death, or avert an untimely one.

 Who Cares?

A friend of ours – a retired doctor – recently said, over dinner, that many people are ill because they aren’t interested in their health (we were discussing the average person’s sugar consumption at the time). This might sound harsh but it reflects our experience that most people suffer ongoing problems because they aren’t interested in, or even aware of, their life energy: the ways in which they are destroying it or could cultivate it; and the effects this has on their life, health, happiness, relationships and all forms of well-being.

Someone may want a better relationship, more abundance, more fulfilling work, increased creativity, or better health . . . but when it comes to actually changing their energy to achieve these results, they usually don’t want to know, or don’t believe it’s possible. So they live in the midst of this perpetual dichotomy between what they want (or think they want) and what they actually do . . .

Of course, many people believe they do all sorts of things to achieve positive changes in their lives. But most of their ‘doings’ reflect their faith in external sources of information. So, rather than being willing to awaken their own ability to perceive what they need to do – such as being aware enough not to get on the plane that’s about to crash (one of the causes of death on the above web-page) – they prefer to follow other people’s advice – like booking a (pre-crash) flight to go on a great holiday . . .

Information from external sources is, of course, often very helpful. But if you lack the awareness to assess how valid it is for your personal needs, you are, essentially, living in the dark (whilst hoping for the best). Obviously, you’ll get it ‘right’ sometimes. But most of the time, our choices, in the absence of awareness of how they will affect us, lead to further karmas. Our mind just doesn’t have access to our energy. Your doctor, for example, may have all sorts of convincing arguments for you taking a certain drug.1 But your energy – if only you were aware of it – might show you something completely different . . .

 It Isn’t About Not Dying – It’s About Living!

But the question isn’t, ‘how do I postpone my death?’ It’s really,  ‘how do I increase the quality of my life? The sine qua non of ‘quality of life’ is your energy. Money, possessions, relationships, how many likes on Facebook . . . even your health – none of it compares with the state of your energy. The quality of your life isn’t good if you habitually wake-up feeling tired; or your body has energy but your mind’s in a fog; or you can function okay but you just feel down. Physical energy, mental energy, emotional energy. Not to mention spiritual energy . . .

You can be broke. Living in a tent. And it’s raining. Breakfast is not guaranteed . . . but if your energy is strong and focused at every level, your quality of life exceeds that of someone winning the rat-race and living the eponymous ‘American dream.’

What you are getting out of your life, right now, totally depends on, and reflects, what’s going on in your energy body. This is why we invest most of our time in teaching energy awareness – because there’s nothing more important than your awareness of your energy insofar as your ability to change yourself or your life for the better is concerned.

Nothing ‘out there’ can make a comparable difference. For example, we recently showed a client how her habit of eating apricot kernels every day, (to prevent cancer), was also causing inflammation in her hip – which would eventually lead to the hip operation her doctor was recommending. Then we showed her other ways she could improve her resistance to various diseases without causing an inflammatory reaction due to a personal intolerance.

But if she’d developed her own awareness, she would have seen, in her own right, why she had been suffering disabling hip pain for so long. And she would also have seen all kinds of other ways she could have improved her quality of life. And, incidentally, reduced the ‘death trigger’ signal rising from her heart chakra . . .

Your energy is your most precious asset – which you can invest in or chuck away. It’s up to you. Either way, your awareness of your energy is your most precious faculty. Energy awareness isn’t rocket science. But it still manages to achieve results for people for whom no form of science (without awareness) has been able to help. Which is why being able to see how you can change your energy for the better really is the key to a better life.

How aware are you of the state of your energy? Probably more than you know. The challenge is to still your mind enough to access that awareness. Discover how you can create a higher energy future for yourself by doing this for the rest of your life at the Living With Energy Awareness Training.

“I’d just like to say thank you for such a transformational experience – I go to many trainings/seminars/workshops but never come away feeling I’ve got something profound for me, for my life and for the benefit of those around me by the knock-on effects of living one’s life with intent.  The gifts you imparted were not only empowering they were given with such integrity and generosity of spirit that they are too valuable and precious to ever think of discarding”

Many years ago, Stephen was approached by a woman at an exhibition who cheerfully informed him that she was the best dowser in the world. The conversation went something like this:

“How did you discover you were the world’s best dowser?”
“I’ve just come back from Stanford University, in California, where they were testing a group of professional dowsers – and I got the highest scores.”
“Congratulations. How long have you been using a pendulum?”
“For over thirty years . . .”

Hmmh, if you really wish to develop your energy insight, pendulums, muscle tests, electro-acupuncture instruments and so on are only introductions to the world of energy – you certainly shouldn’t still be dependent on them for anywhere near ten, let alone thirty, years. After all, would you wish to still be slowed down by trainer wheels on your bicycle after learning how to ride it? No, you’d ditch them as soon as you could ride confidently.

In fact, it is our usual experience in the Living With Energy Awareness Training, that some people move on from needing any external energy insight amplification device (such as a pendulum) by the end of just a weekend.

When you use a 6th chakra-dependent method to amplify your energy insight – i.e. any technique that depends on the energy fluctuations at the surface of the 6th chakra – your options for becoming more aware in your own right become extremely limited. Which is why we encourage people to move on as soon as they can.

The reason for this is the ‘robbing Peter to pay Paul syndrome’ – i.e. you are cannibalising some of your own awareness qi to get answers from the pendulum or other 6th chakra devices. We call the process that begins in the Living with Energy Awareness Training the ‘Way of life’ – because its primary focus is on releasing you from these ‘dependent’ tests by starting you on the way to steadily expanding your own grounded awareness.

This means you will discover how to increasingly root, or ground, your awareness so that, just like a tree, the more you root your awareness, the ‘taller’ it can grow and grow new ‘branches’ or forms of awareness that extend far beyond the world of ‘Yes/No or shades of grey one gets with a pendulum.’

6th chakra-dependent techniques ‘step-down’ your higher awareness to the simplest, least-aware, form of response to any given possibility – yes/no. If you sincerely wish to step-up your consciousness, you need a way to become free of any awareness amplification technique that depends on a horizontal chakra – one that faces forwards from within your energy body into the world of normal perception, such as the 6th.

Dependent energy testing dooms you to a life of repeatedly encountering the same problems – simply because it doesn’t raise or ‘step-up’ your awareness. To become free of the same kinds of issues occurring again and again – or the same issue going on and on – you have to raise your energy. And to do that, you need sufficient intent, (an energy contained in the solar plexus), to be open to more powerful ways of arriving at solutions to anything you wish were different in your life.

“The accumulating results of what I took back from the Living With Energy Awareness Training and the Energy Solutions [http://www.energysolutions.realhealth-online.com/ consultation have been consistently amazing – light years beyond what I’d got from taking up any other self healing / self realization method in the past . . .” Philip G., UK

What Have You got To Lose?

The realisation that you have a problem which isn’t being wholly addressed by your knowledge or reason is the beginning of the awakening of your energy insight. But it is just the beginning. As long as a person continues to believe his mind (even with the aid of some energy insight) can arrive at solutions to all his problems, he will lack the intent needed to expand his awareness beyond the limiting conditions of testing energy.

With the dawning of energy insight, people typically become involved in energy testing and/or meditation. Both paths have their advantages but they work better together rather than alone. However, both paths (meditation and energy testing) also fail their practitioners to the degree they lack concreteness. Being or becoming more ungrounded is the reason people’s meditation or energy testing experience often doesn’t change much even after years of practice.

Unfortunately, becoming ungrounded can be very enticing, beguiling and entertaining. Rather than gradually making progress in the direction you need to be going, it’s all too easy to become lost in the details – like Narcissus staring at his own reflection in the pool – of meditation or energy testing. But, nothing really changes for the better.

Everyone’s life exists within certain boundaries. So we have our possessions, our social circle, the kind of work we do, the foods we tend to eat, and so on. No matter its form, effective awareness development work will sometimes challenge our boundaries – the familiar spaces we are comfortable being inside. If it doesn’t challenge them at times, it isn’t being effective. So we don’t really grow beyond the illusory ‘safety’ of the known. We all construct lives that keep us ‘safe.’

Growth is scary. It’s a step into the unknown. And, to make such steps, we have to let go of whatever it is that keeps us the way we are – stuck in the unfulfilling aspects of ourselves and our lives.

If we don’t ‘lose’ the parts of ourselves or our lives that keep us stuck, nothing really changes. Outward forms can change but, once the initial buzz of something new wears off, the experience turns out to be essentially the same.

An old friend of Stephen’s, an ex-audiophile, told us how he was once obsessed with having a high quality sound system. And he eventually got to the point where he was wealthy enough to have the best components money could buy. But once he had set up his ultimate system and listened to some music, he realised he was still the same he’d always been. He’d fulfilled his dream – but it turned out his dream didn’t really change anything. It was just new stuff cluttering up his living room. He finally ‘got’ that to really change his experience of being alive in truly liberating or expansive ways, he’d have to change his own energy. Nothing ‘out there’ would really make any difference.

Awareness naturally grows the more we leave behind whatever drags our energy down. Our ability to see clearly what this is, then to let it go, is a gradual ‘work in progress’ – a process of entering into the world of energy one step at a time.

“Although I had been a spiritual seeker for many years – and a serious meditator – I felt myself still bound by disparate dispondancies from childhood that enveloped me, so rendering me powerless to actually change my reality . . . since the training the energies around me seem less entrenched and . . . I am for the first time really seeing that things could be different. The image that emerges was of myself mending a car continuously with no real hope it would ever start or go anywhere.  I can now see a way forward . . . I think you are energy midwives!” SR, UK

Brightening Up Your Lights

This gentleman, Akhyuk [Acho] Rinpoche was a Tibetan Buddhist lama who spent much of his life in meditation and other awareness cultivation practices. When a chakra contracts, it becomes darker; when its energy advances it becomes brighter.  Akhyuk’s energy, on the left side of his forehead, is extremely bright.  As it is at his navel, heart chakra, throat and the left side of the top of his head.

Akhyuk Rinpoche probably didn’t spend much time swinging a pendulum. Unlike most people who practise energy testing – including those who often get good results – he spent his whole life cultivating several forms of direct energy awareness.

It’s almost impossible to over-emphasise the critical difference between the process in which Akhyuk Rinpoche was engaged and the process inherent to conventional energy testing, e.g. mentally or verbally asking questions with a pendulum or muscle energy test, or depending on an electronic device. The former cultivates genuine super-normal consciousness and perception, whereas the latter, in spite of potentially making some progress, increasingly damages one or several critical (to your awareness development) forms of consciousness.

This is, understandably, very hard for many energy testers to hear – especially since a damaged 6th chakra often generates the stress of reality avoidance. And sometimes, achieving good results without really being aware of how they come about encourages one to believe that a technique can only be for the good.

Like all traditional forms of awareness development, Tibetan Buddhism has many of its own issues and potential pitfalls. But, one way or another, any effective energy awareness cultivation process necessarily, gradually, brightens up your lights (chakras). Conversely, a self-harming process – even one in the guise of personal development or spiritual development – increasingly darkens affected chakras and damages at least some of your life energies.

Brighter chakras generate greater strengths, new awareness and novel competencies – there’s nothing particularly subtle about it. This is the nature of becoming more grounded. With sustained practice, the difficult becomes easy, the impossible becomes probable and the extraordinary becomes everyday.

The Light of the Ascending Heart Chakra

One ‘light’ in particular – the energy of your heart chakra – is profoundly important for increasing your energy insight. So much so that the quantity of ascending energy from the heart chakra is an accurate indicator of an individual’s spiritual maturity. Akhyuk Rinpoche, for example, has a bright light rising from his heart chakra to high above his head. The light of the average person’s heart chakra – even after years of energy testing or many forms of meditation – barely rises at all . . .

The light of the heart [chakra] is so important because it is the only part of your energy body that frees you from repetitive karmic experiences. This isn’t a statement rooted in religious conviction, new age belief or hope. It’s simply an observation, shared by countless seers, of how the energy body works. Regardless of the nature of your life, the more energy rises from your heart the less you suffer your experience of being alive.

To put it another way, energy awareness practitioners often remark how a recent experience that would once have seriously upset them no longer had any influence or control over how they felt. They discovered they were literally free of their previous reactive conditioning relative to that particular kind of experience.

This increased detachment is an automatic consequence of energy rising from your heart – it liberates you from [the current nature of] your life. It also increasingly reveals the extraordinary extent to which we, lacking energy insight, are all so controlled by the nature of our experiences . . .

We live in a reactive state most of the time – anxiety, confusion, fatigue, irritation, discontent, ambition, self-importance, low self-esteem, reality avoidance, avarice, envy, etc – without even being aware of what’s really going on, or thinking that how we are is really that much of a problem. This is why one term for awareness cultivation is, ‘self-realisation.’ To the degree our heart energy doesn’t ascend we literally don’t know who we are.

“None of this would have happened without your guidance. Awakening my essential creativity has totally changed my feelings about myself, my abilities and how I can be of service. It is so interesting to look back and see the progress that has been made . . .” JK., USA

Wishing To Be The Best You Can Be

Of the relatively few (albeit some millions of) people who practise energy testing of one kind or another, a much smaller number have a serious interest in becoming more aware – committed to cultivating their energy insight not just far beyond the need to use any kind of test but also to let go of the restrictive domination of their mind.

Thinking, (particularly compulsive thinking), although indispensable for some purposes, is the activity that most binds the energy of the heart. It forms a cage that keeps your spirit – a common term for the energy at the root of your heart chakra – under lock and key.

Naturally, the knee-jerk reaction to this is to try to stop thinking, or to meditate regularly, or practise some other form of mindfulness discipline in the hope that being more internally still for at least some of the day might help. And it might. But, on its own, it’s rarely enough to cause much ascension of the heart or brightening of any other of the energy body’s lights.

Cultivating your energy insight in the midst of modern life – in ways that don’t depend on religious beliefs, complex teachings or rituals, or living far from the madding crowd – requires the increasing engagement of the totality of your mind, feelings, energy and body in a dialogue with your heart [chakra]. We call this whole-energy body’ dialogue, or communion with the spirit in the midst of one’s daily life, ‘living with intent.’

When starting to live a life of intent, an energy testing method is used for a short time (with a specially-designed pendulum that prevents the energy losses described above) because it’s easy for most people to begin to concretely sense their energy responses this way. And with effective practice, it gradually evolves into other more grounded and inclusive forms of ascending energy awareness.

A simple form of concrete awareness is to be able to feel the warmth of someone’s skin so you know they aren’t too hot or too cold. A simple form of concrete energy awareness is to be able to feel the pull of the energy of something you need in a shop you are passing by. So you can then follow the energy to its source. It’s just awareness – no test or thought involved.

Energy awareness brings the world of energy that’s all around us to life. A more advanced form of energy awareness is to be able to receive instruction and empowerment from the intent or spirit of a certain place. It doesn’t have to be a bodhi tree in India. It could be the pond in the park down the road.

There is a certain ambition implicit in the ascension of the heart, which is that of wishing to be the best you can be – not in some obsessive, competitive or stressful manner but simply feeling the need to transcend your currently-experienced limiting conditions.

Because it raises your consciousness, intent – which is not the same as intention – is sometimes called the ‘ascending force.’ Living with intent is a way of making choices that provides fuel for the ascension of your heart and your fortunes – your wisdom, inner strength, happiness and success. In fact, part of the practice of living with intent is becoming able to follow your heart.

To follow your heart, you have to become quiet enough (mentally) within to be aware of what your heart is showing you all the time. This is real energy insight, which, regardless of the paths you may follow, is the only way to freedom from conditions that, otherwise, covertly, drag your energy and awareness down.

By gradually revealing the magical world of energy that underlies and connects all that exists, living with intent transforms the whole of your everyday life into the liberating adventure of following your heart. This is the way to discover who you are really capable of being.

“What I find completely delightful . . . is that your teaching has led to this! What I discovered through doing this is impossible to write . . . it has been immense . . from following my heart, to believing my awareness, to trusting the gifts I have been given . . . THANK YOU for the continuing inspiration!” AR., Italy

The 2014 UK Living With Energy Awareness Training is in Glastonbury on April 12th and 13th 2014. Join us to discover your own energy awareness and open your ascending heart.

Everyone’s life sometimes goes ‘wrong’ – we all have times when we suffer in some way and just can’t figure out what to do about it. So what do we do when we can’t seem to fix a problem or move through a sense of feeling blocked in some area of our life?

Some people give up and just ‘live with it;’ some try to convince themselves it’s not really a problem, (‘it’s just the way I am,’ or ‘the way life is’); and others keep on looking for new solutions. But as the years go by it can get harder to find solutions that work as well as they did when we were younger. So more and more people find themselves in the ‘denial’ or ‘living with it’ camps on more and more issues, feeling stuck in situations or with problems that never seem to get much better.

For those in the ‘keep looking for solutions’ camp, they maybe seek more experts, see new practitioners, search the Web, try new vitamins, exercises, feng shui, internet dating and all the other options (depending on what the issue happens to be) . . . with more or less success.

Millions of people are told by their doctor, when he isn’t able to help them, “it’s your age.” And, it’s true, any mechanism or organism becomes weaker over time; our vitality runs down, our ability to maintain our physical or psychological health is increasingly compromised. So for someone who, say, has developed arthritis, their joint stiffness does indeed reflect, in part, their growing lack of an internal energy that used to keep them well.

If that aging person buys into the doctor’s belief, she finds herself ‘living with’ yet another issue in her life, possibly trying to manage it with painkillers when it gets too bad. So her arthritis persists and, more often than not, gets worse as time goes on.

The vast majority of people not only accept the pronouncements of authority figures of one kind or another but even agree with them. As a result, most people ‘live with’ the consequences of their acquired beliefs, trapped by the limited and limiting knowledge or opinions of others, without knowing there are always other options.

But not all people are the same. Rather than presuming they or anyone else knows all there is to be known about their problem, some people start looking for other solutions. And, often, their problem is eventually halted or even fades away. In other words, in spite of people’s increasing age, it turns out they don’t always have to ‘live with’ the problem, whatever it happens to be, after all. Over the years, we’ve seen thousands of clients for whom this is true.

But although many people manage to resolve all sorts of problems by extending their knowledge beyond the limiting beliefs of experts, or commonly accepted current thinking, some issues still persist. Perhaps life just isn’t that much fun anymore. Or maybe it never was. Or perhaps there’s always some stress about money; or relationships; or a growing existential angst. Could be the meditation isn’t working out so well. Or maybe that arthritis just keeps grinding away in spite of all the homeopathy, herbs and acupuncture.

So, simply knowing more doesn’t always do the job – not least because of our gradual loss of vitality over time. But usually, the search for more or better knowledge is as far as most people tend to go. What else, after all, can a rational person do? Well, good question. What makes one person more successful in finding solutions that work, than someone else (with all the same resources and intelligence) who ends up, after all their efforts, just ‘living with it’ since none of their efforts have met with much success?

The Awakening Of Energy Insight

Some ‘resource investigators’ – people who have the energy to search for new solutions – often have a quality that separates more successful problem solvers from the less successful. This is a quality we might call their ‘energy insight.’ Simply put, this is their awareness of the relationships or connections between their experiences and their internal energies.

Someone’s energy insight can make a critical difference to their success because it provides them with a way, above and beyond their intuition, feelings or reasoning, of perceiving the effects of a potential intervention before they commit to it. And that is only the very first stage. The more aware you become of your energy and its responses, the more options you experience, the more solutions you find – the opposite, in fact, to the normal aging process.

“. . . my life has changed in incredible ways over the years that I have been on the Energy Awareness path – it’s actually quite hard to remember the old ‘me’, and what life was like back then . . .” V.D, UK

The idea that one might be able to sense the effects of possible actions in advance marks a crossroads for an individual and can lead them on to the idea that perhaps their energy insight can thus guide them to new, unimagined, solutions!

And so they might look for ways to more clearly sense the effects of things on their energy. And, to their great excitement, they then discover energy testing – a family of techniques including dowsing, muscle testing, skin resistance instruments, or a whole host of ‘body energy tests’ – which they can use to amplify their awakening energy insight.

With the help of an energy test, they can suddenly clearly discern a different response in their energy to one potential solution rather than another. This is, of course, truly eye-opening – the power to ‘see’ that one choice is actually better for you than another. Your energy knows an awful lot that the mind doesn’t. So when they work in partnership, it’s a winning solution.

So much for giving up because it’s ‘your age,’ or because you’ve run out of knowledge, or emptied out your bank account through blindly chasing ideas you never really know are going to work –  other than through experience, which is sometimes painful, expensive or dispiriting! It’s a brave new world that the novice ‘energy tester’ steps into – one that can yield all sorts of quality-of-life-improving results.

However, even though it really is liberating to have a clearer perception of how your own energy is affected by this or that, the techniques and tools people usually use to arrive at this clearer perception are, in one critical respect, a trap.

The world of energy testing is not as simple as it seems . . .

For people with more energy insight who realise that knowledge, intuition and reasoning often aren’t enough – that they just aren’t going to solve some issues, at least, not without creating new, often worse, problems – energy testing is a logical next step. Having realised that amplifying a natural, albeit usually very weak faculty (energy awareness) that everyone is born with can make such an enormous positive difference to your life, it only makes sense to start using it . . .

But the trap energy testers commonly step into is that of never moving beyond energy testing techniques that reduce the experience of their energy awareness to a simple ‘Yes/No’ response with, possibly, some shades of grey in between. This is great for beginners, but there’s so much more to energy awareness.

Let’s look at how energy testing usually works . . .

Energy testing – the way it’s usually taught – depends on an area of the body’s energy called the ‘6th chakra,’ (at the centre of your forehead). A change in an energy awareness amplification device – such as a pendulum or a certain muscle test (kinesiology) – simply reflects the subtle energy changes automatically occurring in your 6th chakra, when you focus on a particular subject.

More precisely, successful energy testing depends on the changes in the energy just beneath the surface of the left side of your 6th chakra. Physically, this equates to the space between the centre of your forehead and your left temple. When you perform an energy test, the result reflects fluctuations of your energy in this area – which is already happening whether or not you amplify it.

But using a standard energy test – pendulum, dowsing rod, muscle energy test, body energy test, etc. – (and regardless of the accuracy of its results) has several consequences or ‘side-effects of which most people are unaware:

• The energy of the left side of your 6th chakra contracts
• The energy of other areas of your energy body contract according to your instrument and/or the technique you are using 
• Some of your energy falls from your 6th chakra to lower parts of your energy body

These side-effects – which are inherent in all standard energy tests or dowsing – occur because of feedback between the 6th chakra and the testing device used. By way of example, let’s consider water . . .

Like the rest of us, the Romans were very fond of it – they built baths, aqueducts, sewers and pipes. Unfortunately, the pipes contained lead.  So the Romans enjoyed piped water (good) but unknowingly suffered from lead poisoning (bad).

The analogy isn’t perfect but it serves its purpose – standard energy tests damage your energy body.  Unfortunately, because our energy insight is usually weak, we don’t notice we are being poisoned. Instead, we tend to only notice the benefits (getting answers) of dowsing, muscle or electro-acupuncture tests.

Contracted (and descending) energy is the most basic sign of damage being caused to the human energy body. Energy contractions happen every time you make a harmful choice – e.g. eat the wrong food, choose a weakening relationship or move into an unfortunate house. In fact, in the average person’s day – including that of the average energy tester – this occurs hundreds of times . . .

In the mildest case, an energy contraction causes just a little, (albeit accumulating), stress in a chakra. In more serious cases, it’s like a bruise. Or even a break. Whenever we treat professional, (or ex-professional), dowsers or kinesiologists they are, without exception, suffering consequences of breaks in their 6th chakras and other areas of their energy body – breaks that cause them on-going physical, energenic (e.g. fatigue), psychological and/or life issues.

Hardly anyone talks about the damage caused by standard energy testing techniques – because almost no-one is aware of it, including teachers of energy testing. Standard energy testing techniques do amplify one form of energy insight or awareness. But, at the same time, they weaken others. Standard energy tests depend on ‘robbing Peter to pay Paul.’ So, because of their lack of awareness of their own life energies, few people realise quite how much they will pay, (or are already paying), for the ability to amplify their energy insight in these ways.

“I find your diagnostic work and understanding of how energies influence us very clear and precise – and wonderfully helpful!” Andrew J., UK, Kinesiologist

Side-Effects Of Energy Testing

Just to give you some idea of how people are affected by energy falling from their 6th chakra to lower chakras in their energy body, (no matter what is causing it), here are a very few of the possible symptoms:

• When communication is blocked, you may find yourself unable to communicate – e.g. to talk about a troubling subject or, perhaps, experience ‘writer’s block’ – 6th chakra (forehead) energy has fallen to the 5th (throat)
• When feeling miserable, depressed or de-motivated  – 6th chakra energy has fallen to the 4th (bottom of sternum)
• When feeling frightened, anxious or exhausted – 6th chakra energy has fallen to the 3rd (navel)
• When feeling guilty, angry, irritable or hypersensitive with others (e.g. being ‘thin-skinned’) – 6th chakra energy has fallen to the 2nd (genitalia)
• When someone feels morally superior, cut-off, incompetent or useless – 6th chakra energy has fallen to the 1st chakra (base of spine)

Bear in mind that these are just a few of the psychological symptoms. There are many other psychological symptoms as well as those involving your physical health or other areas of your life entirely (work, family, relationships etc.). For example, if your work ki falls from your 6th chakra to your 3rd chakra it causes difficulties with colleagues and unrealistic beliefs about one’s personal value or contributions to an enterprise. As Jules Ormont observed [about a typical 6th to 3rd chakra contraction]:

“Make yourself indispensable, and you will move up. Act as though you are indispensable, and you will move out.”

To the degree its energy is contracted, a chakra generates its own forms of stress which affect your life in very concrete ways. The more you identify with any form of stress, the more it damages its native chakra.

For example, identification with anger damages the 2nd chakra, identification with fear or anxiety damages the 3rd chakra, and so on. Standard energy testing – which damages the left side of the 6th chakra – amplifies a psychological stress in the 6th chakra called [identification with] reality avoidance.

 An example of this stress is where we tell ourselves stories about reality so we don’t have to deal with it. ‘Magical thinking’ is a well-known form of reality avoidance. One form of magical thinking that is all too common in energy testing circles is the belief that one can change an environmental stress by wishing it were so. . .

This attachment to reality avoidance afflicts the 6th chakra in such a way that it sabotages an energy test so the energy tester then ‘confirms’ the positive result with their test because they have ‘switched’ (reversal of the correct flows of one’s energy) their own 6th chakra. Consequently, for example, an environmental stress they were detecting with an energy test can appear to have disappeared. Here’s an example taken from the American Dowsing Society’s website:

“I communicated with the [WiFi] devices in the school to ask whether they were able to direct the energy they emitted away from staff and students when the energy was not needed, such as when students’ laptops were not in use. After receiving an affirmative response, I then asked whether the devices were able to minimize the detrimental field effects they emitted when their energy was called upon, while at the same time maintaining an acceptable level of functionality. I again received an affirmative response.”

The affirmative responses this hopeful person describes are ‘yes’ responses from her pendulum when she asked herself these questions. This is like noticing that a room light is on when you’re trying to go to sleep then, instead of getting out of bed and turning the light off, you close your eyes (so the light is less clear), and ask the light to no longer be on. Then you say to yourself, ‘now the light is off.’ To non-dowsers, this may sound absurd but it’s one of many such errors in the fuzzy world of energy testing.

But let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Energy testing is practised by millions of people worldwide, helping to solve all kinds of problems, including life-threatening illnesses, in ways that aren’t obvious to a mind that depends solely on experts, scientific tests, reasoning or existing knowledge.

However, just because you may be able to use an energy test to get an answer to a problem that, otherwise, appears insoluble, this doesn’t mean there isn’t room for using a better tool or developing a better technique.

“Thank God for my illness, otherwise I would never have met you . . . already after four days I can feel a definite improvement . . . your ‘seeing’ of the cause of my Chronic Fatigue corresponds with my own experience (6th chakra damage) – something no other psychics and (very gifted) healers have picked up . . . Some 8 or 9 years ago I had a very visceral experience of . . . this beam of energy coming out of my solar plexus creating my future. Nowhere have I ever encountered any information on this until you explained about the weaver – one more mystery solved!” G.L, Iceland
