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

aura art

I will be doing a demonstration of aura art on 19th August at Warmsworth and Eglington Spiritualist church commencing 7pm and a further demonstration at the Fir Trees Spiritual centre on 21st August.

Above is a selection of drawings compiled so far. Would be good to see you there - be well

colour workshop

The colour workshop hosted by www.spiritualroots.co.uk took place on 15th August at 10 am. There was a full house consisting of lovely people who were eager to learn, lots of questions asked, leading to more questions and fantastic interaction.

I feel that a lot was learned, from student and teacher, questions leading to other questions some quite thought provoking, stimulating. The colours which were sensed and seen around each of the people were interpreted by the themselves with some surprising results.

The aura photography which took place later in the afternoon reinforced what people had seen themselves, helping to build upon what had been learned earlier in the day, and to build upon the confidence levels of all.

A big thank you to all

Coal House Fort, Essex 31st July 2010

I must admit to being quite impressed with the level of interaction upon this event, the group of people were interactive and keen to interact which lead to such a high level of activity.

The latrine block used during the second world war as both a toilet and a shower block for the soldiers manning the guns were undoubtedly the most active I had experienced at this location. Stones were thrown around the room, the largest of these being a piece of concrete about 3 inches by 1 inch, bland in colour and landed on a table behind where the group where stood. The walls of the latrine area are painted in white, yet the piece of concrete was bland in colour. There were several smaller stones thrown onto the floor and on one occasion several people including myself were hit in the chest area by small stones.

Well worth the visit, and would highly recommend it

updates

I have been a little remiss in not keeping my blog more up to date, hence I would like to catch up with you all.

The last couple of months have been quite hectic, which is good mind you. The aura photography side of my work has seen a great rise in demand, partly I feel to my thorough understanding and interpretation of the colours indicated around people.

There has also been a marked increase in my workshops with trance coming to the fore in many respects, which gladdens my heart as spirit are so much wanting to communicate with people on a deeper level. The trance workshop run at spiritual roots in Leeds was to a packed house and some very good results, and enjoyed by all.

A mini trance workshop and ghost hunt on 7th August at Alcester town hall could prove quite interesting, as it allows to dispel any fears people may have about the subject of trance and provides people with a good opportunity as most in attendance would not have ready access to a medium.

As always I look forward to working with such a variety of people - be well all

Trance Ghost Hunt

on 7th August I will be undertaking another mini trance workshop and ghost investigation of Alcester Town Hall - a great success the last time around.

The mini workshop is based upon the ground breaking book "Teachings from William"

A good amount of activity occurred on our last visit, are you brave enough? tickets are selling fast so don't miss out, contact www.frightnights.co.uk for your ticket

psychic artwork

I am demonstrating tonight at Sutton in Ashfield Spiritualist church.

Over the last three days I have been going into my office and calming the mind and letting the pastels paint a picture. It seems a little strange though expectant in a way that the way in which the drawing is completed.

I found myself pacing up and down, feelings of agitation, wanting to slam the colours down to tear up the paper, yet I came to understand that these were the feelings associated with the person for who the drawing is for. The sensitivities inherent with this work have begun to permeate into my perceptions, I gain a deeper insight into what is occurring around the person indicated by association to the drawing.

The symbology depiction too has begun to change, faces and figures appear at will, random images it seems, a depiction of personalities perhaps.

I will post some of the artwork from this demonstration into the blog tomorrow.

Be well
