Spirit & Soul

The past 7 months have been quite a journey, which is why I haven't really been blogging, I've been spending the time working on myself. So here's a run down on what I've been up to or into....

I've been working with Hayden Crawford of Dreemtime Academy I signed up to Hayden's Release Course a 30-day programme to let go of self-doubt, fear and self-sabotaging patterns and transform your life and start living an empowered and purposeful life.

The programme involved creating a piece of art daily and journaling your feelings. Then, using a method Hayden talks you through to transmute the feelings, you pick up your paints and create a new piece of art. Here's an example of one of my 'after' paintings. What's important is the process, not what you produce. It was very cathartic, I genuinely felt a change over time and my artwork was much brighter and lighter, which is how I felt too.

The course involves four online consultations with Hayden where he works further with you to counsel and help you release the old. It was a fabulous experience, difficult at times witnessing the past, the darkness, the sad memories, but I experienced an immense shift. So much so, that I've just recently completed the second part of the course called 'Remember' which is about Peace, Patience & Purpose and I'll sign up to the final part 'Reconnect' in the coming months to finish off the programme.

Hayden is a lovely guy, so understanding, so caring and he creates a safe space to share your thoughts and feelings and then helps you to heal. Check out his Facebook page and YouTube channel to learn more about his services.

Following working with Hayden, I decided to complete my Reiki Level 1 to learn more about energy healing. I found a lovely lady called Elaine who lived just 5 minutes from me who runs Reiki courses. I had a one-to-one Reiki day with Elaine where she taught me all about Reiki, the history and other healing modalities like sound. Elaine carried out Reiki healings on me and I practiced on her. She also taught me how to clear chakra's using a pendulum, which is fascinating and something I've been practicing on myself and my family, along with the Reiki. I'll definitely book to do Reiki 2 in the future. You can check out Elaine's website and more about her services here.

Another interesting experience I've had, was taking part in Adrian Incledon-Webber's House Healing Workshop at The Sanctuary of Healing in Langho. The one-day course was designed to give an intro to using energy to heal your home. We learned about the types of energies that can affect a residence or building and how, by using a pendulum, we can identify these in more detail. In the afternoon, Adrian took us through a healing meditation to release all detrimental energies in our own homes. It was a fascinating event, it took me way out of my comfort zone but hey, we've to be comfortable being uncomfortable haven't we or we'll never grow! You can find out more about Adrian on his website Dowsing Spirits.

Finally, I've just changed the name of this site to 'Spirit & Soul' from 'A Spiritual Journey'. It's a name that came to me originally, but I didn't listen to my intuition. I found A Spiritual Journey wasn't resonating with me and I feel much more like this name is a better fit, much more like me. I've created a new logo too, using Wix logo maker, which I'm proud of.

Future plans, include experiencing a Light Language workshop in November, again at The Sanctuary of Healing and next year, a Sound Healing course. Exciting times! I'll keep you posted.
