My Trip to Thailand

I have just returned from a seven week trip to Thailand and India I am all excited about starting work again. Normally when I go away I have the post holiday blues but this time it was different. Today I thought I would set myself up a blog page to share some of my thoughts with old and new clients.

So here goes - My first blog

I had three wonderful weeks away with my family in Kao Lak before they had to return home to UK to school. I was a bit sad to see them go back with the usual worries of having a teenage daughter and a 12 year old that would be missing his mum while I was away. My trip away had been planned for a very long time . I am so grateful to my family for having the luxury of extending my visit longer. I was planning to do a foot massage course in Chang Mai and ended up doing learning it in Kao Lak instead. As always the universe always puts something better in your way if you only just look! So when the opportunity arose for me to spend a week in India clearing out some old “baggage” that needed dumping rather than going off to Laos to solve my visa problems, who was I to turn it down. So no sooner had my family flown back home there I was in Dehli staying with my new friend Victor Lyons who runs a project in India call Tara Akshar that provides literacy programmes for Indians.

Victor is a most unique person who is also a gifted photography and counsellor. Besides it has been many years since I visited Dehli and it is one of my favourite places. Despite all the poverty I always love visiting there and feel very humbled by my experiences. I have been there many times.

I had a wonderful week there albeit an emotional one clearing out bucket loads of junk and feeling about 3 stone lighter although I might add that it was not physical since I was eating like a horse LOL. Then I returned to Thailand on my own for a two more weeks of pure heaven where I stayed in a beach hut on the island of Koh Phangan. I met some wonderful new faces and did some work processing with the Sedona method with which I will write up a blog another time and then came home refreshed and relaxed.

When I returned home I had a whole lot of really BIG challenges to deal with that would have taxed even the most grounded person. When you see things in a different light its all about changing your perception. You see many years ago when I faced challenges I would see them as huge great big boulders that got in the way that I would use all my force and might to push, climb over, crack open. You name it I tried to do it! However life is not meant to be like that its like a river we are meant to flow upstream. There are always going to be rocks and boulders along the way but if you make yourself fluid and don’t fight them, then just like water things have a natural way of going around and finding their way again. So needless to say with a bit of calmness and “fluidity” all these so called big challenges have just seemed to disappear and resolve perfectly.

Talking of water it just reminded me of a story that Zen Debrucke told me about a man called Dr Emoto who was in What the Bleep and had done some experiments on water. As you can see from the pictures they are pretty interesting!. Whether or not you believe it got me thinking about how our thoughts affect us and since we are made up mostly of energy and water I started to sidetrack a little. I was looking at the heavy metal image which is certainly not my favourite music, and wondered what the picture look like if it was subjected to the kind of music I listen to a lot which is dance music or a nice meditation. Perhaps along with all the other things I do in my life thats one of the reasons I am so much calmer and happier these days because I have more beautiful images floating around my body. Visualisation is a great thing! Which then led me onto thinking about a very well known acupuncturist and healer called Barefoot doctor that I have the pleasure of meeting in a couple of weeks. He has diversified his talents somewhat over the years but you might want to check out his website www.barefootdoctorworld.com

And on that note and having checked that this blog actually works LOL which is short for (laughing out loud) feel free to subscribe to my blog and I will be posting again very shortly!
