The Happy Bubble

I was invited to take part in this charity event hosted by ACTION AID and hosted on 17th January, officially the most depressing day of the year and labled BLUE MONDAY

This event brought together a number of people who were raising awareness of the plight of the world around us, helping people to be happy, to be thankful for what they already had.

My brand of psychic art was by way of helping people, talking of the colours within a person's aura, and representing it as a drawing on a pastel paper. People were generally amazed at how much information was presented to them, the hue of colours and symbology arrayed before them brought lots of questions, lots of laughs and in some cases helped them to move forwards in their life.

I was there from a little after 9am and left around 1pm - and though a little wet on the outside, I certainly felt very warm on the inside, a big smile on my face, and lots of love in an open heart.

Dudley Castle

On the 5th November I returned to the very atmospheric location that is Dudley castle. The

group of people in attendance on the event were very interactive which led to some interesting

phenomenon being witnessed.

Whilst in the zodiac room one of the group reported that her camera had fallen onto the floor,

nothing paranormal in that I hear you say, yet when you consider that her purse was still

zipped, coupled with both the testimony from her friend that this was so, and the very worried

look on her face spoke volumes.

One person was having their shoulder tapped at the time they were holding hands with the person to either side of them. There were in this same room two incidents of people having objects thrown at them. Try as we could, we found nothing what so ever as being the cause for this......

Dare you go on a ghost hunt....for full report view www.aura-artz.co.uk

Halloween at The galleries

The Galleries of Justice is a very imposing building, and within its wall lurk a multitude of ghosts, and as you descend through the many floors, it is as if you are stepping back in time..........

Two ladies on different vigils felt hand upon their breasts, yet the group stood holding hands, keys were heard jangling and and throttled noises issued forth from ghostly lips.....

Diet continued

Well there has been some movement within my diet regime!!!

I now regularly undertake cardio exercises up to 5 times a week for a half hour duration, sometimes increasing this to a 45 minute session. I have an elliptical trainer which gets the heart level raised along with much sweat too. Secondly I have a low end rowing machine, only set to level five at its maximum, though this did take several weeks to attain, I now use this setting for all my rowing. Thirdly I have a high end exercise bike, plugged into the mains for the display and electromagnetic difficulty settings, no more flywheels with cheap belts for tension........

I have in 9 weeks gone from 12 stone 2 pounds to 10 stone 12 - a healthier waistline too - and increased cardiovascular fitness.......

Time for some new clothes!!!!

Halloween

It has been a little while since my last blogg - I have been so busy, which in itself is a very good thing, as it provides for more interaction with the public.

I was at the Galleries of justice on Friday the 29th and 31st of October, resulting in some very interesting phenomenon taking place. Footsteps were heard where no person was to be found, chains were heard rattling along an empty corridor, keys jangled whilst hanging on a hook, people standing well clear so as not to accidentally move them; whilst a strangled cry issued forth into a dark and dingy cell......reports of both events to follow later in the week (www.aura-artz.co.uk)

On the 30th I visited Belgrave hall in Leicester, a fantastic venue, and one which holds much promise for future investigations....

Diet

Hi all - after much contemplation and some proverbial kicking up the backside, I have decided to get down to loosing some weight.

Part of the reason is self image, egotistical I dare say, never the less, I do not feel overly happy with the way I look, my stomach pushing hard against my trousers and belt.

A second part of the reason is of health, as being overweight can have its impact upon general health issues. I also believe that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind, and with the increase in workload taking place also necessitates me getting off my backside.

So the tale of the tape - weight 12 stone 2 - 42 inch chest and 37 inch waistline - I am thus aiming to lose 11 kilos and bring me back down to 10 stone 7 and a couple or three trouser sizes down too.

To think I used to be a fitness fanatic, running an average 5 and a half minute mile over distance and with my weight training, could squat 30 stone.

Starting training as well as changing my life style brought some stark realisations, of what I could not now do, to be honest it brought tears to my eyes and some self disgust, natural I dare say, though I am very determined to succeed - I further aim to have a solid six pack by this time next year.

As always - be well

Ian
