Hello Readers! 

I cannot believe how fast time is going... we are already in September and the next edition will be the 

winter one - November/December! 

So far, I have personally been through a whirlwind of transformational development - there is always so 

much to learn spiritually. The biggest feat is to surrender yourself and place trust in the flow of universal 

energy to allow it to support and guide you. It really is the most fundamental step you need to take. 

Enjoy Issue 16 - September/October edition.

ORACLE CARD 

Oriel Lux 

In tribal cultures the talking stick 

was an important tool used in 

gatherings and important meetings. 

The stick had a physical role in that 

the person who held the stick had 

the floor – the right to speak, 

uninterrupted. On another level 

though, the talking stick was a 

connection to our spiritual selves 

and a reminder to speak 

authentically and with truth. In this 

image the stick is laying on the top 

of a mountain – the mountain, made 

of rock, is strongly rooted in 

Mother Earth. This reminds us to 

connect and earth ourselves. The 

mountain also reaches high into the 

sky, advising us to connect to the 

upper realm too. 

The beautiful sky is the colour of our charkas: as we connect to both the upper and lower worlds, so we find 

inner balance and, in that balance, our voice of truth. It is important that we each have time to hold a 

talking stick – even if only symbolically, so we can speak uninterrupted and have our own truth heard. If 

this is something you find hard to do, imagine picking up a talking stick, connecting and then allowing 

yourself your voice.

SOUL VERSE POEM 

Sue Penney 

AUTUMN 

This time of year with colours bright 

Is such a glorious delight 

Reds and golds adorn our hills 

A feeling of excitement spills 

The darker evenings, frosty dawn 

Does not make me feel forlorn 

Instead I feel excitement grow 

Deep inside I feel it flow 

As scent of bonfire fills the air 

As spiders weave without a care 

We prepare for Samhain night 

Where some will dance and others fright 

The year it ends and starts again 

The veil is thin where spirits’ lain 

We remember those who’ve been 

And now no longer can be seen 

So on this darkened Samhain night 

Gather friends to bonfire light 

Dance, make merry, laugh and sing 

And see what joy Samhain will bring 

A Soul Verse reading is a message channelled by 

Sue in poetry form from spirit. These readings 

are totally unique and can be combined with a 

healing treatment.

Leading with Love 

Rehumanising the Workplace 

As we emerge from the pandemic, many have begun to raise deep 

questions about their working life. People are seeking meaningful work 

where they are valued and respected rather than treated as a cog in a 

machine. Increasing numbers of people are seeking greater work-life 

balance and are realising that their levels of wellbeing are significantly 

affected by the working environment. They want managers and leaders 

who are approachable and trustworthy and who can act as mentors and 

coaches in the workplace. 

This book presents original research based on leaders who were 

nominated by their people for leading with love. It shows that leading 

with love is something that is practised by leaders who are more 

emotionally, morally, and spiritually mature. Leading with love is a sign of 

psychological maturity, whilst leading with fear is a sign of hindered 

emotional and spiritual development. Fusing the research with ancient 

spiritual wisdom, as well as the latest findings in developmental and 

transpersonal psychology, the book presents a simple framework to help 

leaders develop their psychological maturity and offers practices that 

will enable them to lead with love.

MABON & SAMHAIN 

Sue Penney 

Mabon is one of the eight sabbats and is based on the 

pagan harvest festival. Generally celebrated around the 

autumn equinox, in the northern hemisphere, this will be on 

23rd September. Traditionally it is a time to reap what you 

sow, giving thanks to Mother Earth for the bounty that she 

provides us with. It is also a time to rest and relax after 

bringing in the crops for the winter ahead. 

A good ritual to do at this time of year would be to build an 

altar to Mabon. It would usually contain many items that 

relate to the season including the colours and foods that 

are plentiful at this time, squashes, ferns, acorns, corn. A 

little wine and a yellow or orange candle can be placed on 

the altar too, along with carnelian and citrine stones. You 

can get quite creative and personalise it completely. A 

prayer can then be offered up to the Goddess Mother or 

Green Man, thanking them for the abundance in your now 

and to come. 

Samhain, also now more commonly referred to as 

halloween, is the pagan festival marking the Celtic new year 

and is celebrated on 31st October in the northern 

hemisphere. It is a time when the veil between the worlds is 

at its thinnest and this makes it easier to speak to the 

ancestors. 

Photos of loved ones that we have lost are often placed 

where we can see them and illuminated with candles. 

The colours of orange and black are predominant at this 

time of year, we traditionally now carve pumpkins. These 

would have historically been jack-o’-lanterns and have been 

carved from turnips. 

As this sabbat is best celebrated with a group of friends I 

suggest that you gather together a group of people, light a 

bonfire and spend a pleasant evening reminiscing on those 

you have all loved and who are no longer here. 

Everyone can take turns in talking about their dearly 

departed and then, whilst one of the party drums, they can 

write a message for them and cast it into the fire so that 

the smoke takes the message up to them in spirit. 

Samhain is a really great time to sit in a drumming circle as 

the energy is amazing and it really connects you to the 

earth. There are lots of drumming circles all around the 

country so see if you can find one close to you.

RITUAL FOR AUTUMN 

Sue Penney 

As the nights start to draw in I love to be all warm and 

cosy indoors. 

This is the time of year to start to prepare yourself for the 

long winter nights. It is important to look after yourself 

and to take time to rest after the long summer months 

when we’ve all spent much longer awake and active. 

I wanted to talk about a very simple ritual that most 

people will be able to do. This is a simple bathing ritual. 

You will need: 

A tea light candle or a yellow or orange candle 

A carnelian tumble stone 

Some bath salts 

Some essential oil of your choosing. (Please be aware 

that some essential oils are not to be used when you are 

pregnant so double check which ones you can use). 

Start by running a warm bath. 

Put a few drops of your chosen essential oil into the water. 

(You could use an oil burner with your candle instead of 

putting the oil in the water if you choose) 

Put a tablespoon of bath salts into the water and swirl it 

around until it is dissolved. 

When the bath is ready light the candle before you get in. 

Take the carnelian crystal and hold it in your dominant 

hand as you lie in the bath. 

Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Feel the Crystal 

in your hand and gently let your thoughts and mind relax. 

Feel the energy of the Crystal and just follow your 

thoughts as they come and go. 

After 10 minutes open your eyes and when you have got 

out and are dry write your experience in your journal if 

you keep one or think about starting one if you don’t.

WHEN PSYCHOLOGY 

MEETS SPIRITUALITY 

Rebekah Knight and Will Everett 

Shamans have been described as being the first 

physicians, diagnosticians and psychotherapists. 

Rebekah is an Air sign, yoga teacher, holistic life coach 

& spiritual mentor. She has learnt to adhere to many 

Shamanic ways of living. She believes it is important to 

look at the whole picture; Mind, body & soul. 

Rebekah uses spiritual gifts of intuitive knowing, 

visions and discernment to assist others into 

connecting to their highest self. 

In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine 

person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, 

or depressed, they would ask these questions: "When 

did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? 

When did you stop being enchanted by stories?' 

Shamanism teaches us to respect nature, the 

elements, to remain connected to ourselves, our 

communities, our bodies, our breath and to Source. To 

tend to our souls, our thoughts, our inner and outer 

world, to fully live and to inspire. To understand that 

we are not just the body or the mind, but that we are 

also connected to a higher power that wants us to live 

a whole and happy life. 

Rebekah and Will are both holistic life coaches, and 

teachers of physical fitness, Rebekah is a yoga teacher 

and Will a personal trainer. In their full moon circles, 

Rebekah leads people in a conscious time of selfdiscovery 

and journaling using shamanic & oracle 

cards as guidance. Prompting questions to the class 

and Will then works on the unconscious mind using 

hypnotic guided meditations that incorporate aspects 

of spirituality and affirmations in his scripting. 

Will is an Earth sign, who prides himself on being both 

grounded and logical adhering to the ways of science. 

However, his classes have a dusting of magic and 

intuition. Weaved into his hypnotic meditations you 

will find a perfect blend of these aspects allowing each 

client to be opened up to a wealth of possibilities both 

during and after the class has ended. 

12

"You are, and always will be, safe here with me, 

You’re always in control, either of a situation or your 

response to it, 

You are enough, never let any person, situation or voice 

in your head persuade you otherwise" 

~Will Everett 

Spiritual practices like shamanism are no longer 

wrapped in such mystery but are attracting the 

interest of psychologists, medical doctors and 

professionals. People are far more readily open to 

these guiding principles to use personally and also to 

benefit others. Many people are coming to coaches 

for direction and guidance and it is vital that we look 

at all aspects in our approach. 

"You may find…when it comes to your mind… 

empty spaces… are NOT the best places… to hide 

the things… you don’t know how to deal with… So 

in this deepened state of relaxation… with the 

might of our unification…as the conscious and 

unconscious minds connect… my energy I share 

with you to protect… we will unearth and 

discover… all the treasure we can uncover… to 

work through and release… and bring you 

happiness and peace…"

CRYSTALS OF THE 

SEASON 

Sue Penney 

My name is Sue Penney and I qualified from the 

I.A.C.H.T. School of Crystal Therapy in 2006. This 

was a 2-year course and was extremely 

comprehensive covering all aspects of crystals from 

their identification, properties and structure to their 

various uses in healing therapy. 

I’d always loved rocks and crystals from an early 

age so to have the chance to train with this 

renowned school was an amazing opportunity. 

When I was approached to write this article I 

wondered whether I should write about just one 

crystal or cover the crystals that spanned the two 

months of the magazine article. As you can see, I 

opted for two!! 

Although there are different types of crystals which 

are associated with each month you can choose to 

use the one which you are most drawn to as 

crystals have a funny way of calling to you. 

There is much written about different crystals to 

use for different months and Sabbats but I feel 

drawn to Black Tourmaline and Carnelian at this 

time of year. 

The deep orange of Carnelian reflects the autumnal 

colours of the leaves and Black Tourmaline the 

darkness of the night as evenings draw ever 

quicker and the light begins to fade from our day 

much sooner. 

Both stones have similar properties, you can use 

Carnelian when you need courage and motivation, 

in times that you need to trust your inner voice. It 

helps you to see things clearly with sharpened 

clarity and will help you to focus your 

concentration. 

Carnelian also inspires creativity and sparks energy. 

I always feel much more creative during the winter 

months. As the nights draw in I want to be inside, 

cosy in the warm by a fire, preferably making 

something and supping the odd whiskey. During 

the summer I want to be outside as much as 

possible, whether in the garden, out with friends or 

with my animals. 

Black Tourmaline is a great crystal for protection 

and to help ward off anxiety, it is great for 

grounding you as you go into the darker months. It 

also helps stave off and clear negative thoughts 

and may be especially beneficial to those who 

dread the darker days of winter. 

You can use both of these crystals in many ways, 

but I would always suggest spending some time 

attuning yourself to your chosen crystals 

individually by sitting quietly holding them in the 

palm of your hands and feeling their different 

energies. You may wish to meditate with them. I 

always try to keep the crystals I am working with 

close to my skin, whether on a pendant or bracelet, 

you can tape them to your body using micropore 

surgical tape or for the lady readers you can always 

put a couple of crystals in your bra.

INDIGO ESSENCES 

Sarah Emerson 

As many of us have found, energy can be incredibly 

healing. Whether it is finding our peace as we 

spend time in nature or de-stressing as we spend 

time with our pets, the people, animals and things 

around us have an impact. 

Some years ago I was lucky enough to meet an 

amazing homeopath from Ireland, Ann Callaghan. I 

attended a series of workshops Ann was running 

after she had developed a range of crystal essences 

to support children - and they come in handy for 

adults too! 

Ann’s aim is to produce vibrational essences which 

help children and adults with emotional balance. 

Originally designed with Indigo Children in mind, 

the essences can be accessed by both children and 

adults. I have used the essences with children and 

families and found them to be gentle and 

supportive. I remember one parent telling me she 

had had the calmest night they had ever had after 

using the essences with her daughter! 

The ‘combinations’ series of Indigo Essences is 

probably my favourite. Ann describes these as a 

‘first aid kit for feelings’. The essences are designed 

to cover emotional challenges that are common in 

childhood. They are supportive of children, and of 

the inner child in adults. 

The essences can be purchased in stock dropper 

bottles, and as room sprays. There are essences 

such as ‘champion’, ‘chill’, ‘sleep easy’, ‘invisible 

friend’, ‘no fear’, ‘settle’ and one of my all-time 

favourites, ‘love’. 

When first introducing the essences it is helpful to 

offer the child the choice of which one they use. 

They will be drawn to the right essence and might 

choose to spray it around the room, or simply hold 

the bottle. 

If you are interested in learning more about Indigo 

Essences, you can contact Ann Callaghan or read 

more at www.indigoessences.com. I also stock a 

small range of the ‘Combinations’ room sprays at

When the World gets Scary 

Here’s my take on how how to support children 

during these difficult times… 

While older children may be able to say why they 

are worried, with younger children we might see it 

in the form of clinginess, frustration, regression or 

withdrawal. Validate that they are worried or 

scared. Reassure them it’s ok to feel this way. We 

can’t promise anything will be different. We can 

give them the chance to express how they are 

feeling. 

Here are some of the strategies that might be 

helpful - 

1, Offer non-verbal opportunities for expression 

of feelings. Sometimes it’s too hard to put into 

words. Art and role play are great non-verbal ways 

to express feelings. 

2. Mr. Rogers said it best - “look for the helpers, 

you will always find people who are helping” - in a 

world where we feel helpless it can be reassuring 

to know there are lots of people doing things to 

help where they can. Some children might want to 

know how they can help too. 

3. Be mindful of what information they are 

exposed to through tv, radio, papers with pictures, 

overhearing conversations. They pick up on more 

than we realise. 

4. Always be honest, but keep the information 

age-appropriate. 

5. Keep things in place that give children security - 

rhythm and routine, hugs, spending time with 

family or in nature. In scary or difficult times, the 

presence of regularity and rhythm is comforting. 

6. Always focus on connection above all else. 

Connection, fun, joy and love are the things that 

ground us, nurture us, build our resilience and 

keep us emotionally safe. 

Last but by no means least, it’s important that we 

keep our own resilience and well-being topped up, 

even if just in small, everyday ways. 

Sarah Emerson, Cocoro provides parent support and educational 

consultancy, and offers an online store for toys, books and 

resources to support children’s emotional well-being.

CONSCIOUSNESS 

BEAUTY 

Amber Sibley 

I live in the centre of a vesica piscis … one 

whole circle is inner light; the other is outer 

confidence, the middle of which I call Conscious 

Beauty. To me there is beauty everywhere. I 

see it in oil on puddles at the garage, and the 

peeling paint on shed doors… but the depth of 

beauty is knowing that I am an intrinsic part of 

All That Is.. I’m not IN nature; I am nature! And 

the beauty to be found in the frequencies of 

nature all around me is undeniable; therefore I 

must be beautiful! 

But what to do when you don’t feel like that? 

To be honest, during menopause I didn’t either, 

and yet I know how far a little outer confidence 

can go too. 

My name is Amber Sibley and I’m a Makeup 

Artist by trade, Oscar-Nominated even, so I 

have had many experiences in creating that 

outer confidence, and believe me, even the 

most shiny ‘Stars’ don’t always feel like that 

before it’s applied. 

I’d say the first thing to do is to welcome in the 

light. The universal life-force energy that 

creates all things. The simplest, quickest way to 

do that is a ‘Tube of Light’. Imagine a column of 

light around you coming from Source, and going 

straight down into the earth… whoosh ! Instant 

illumination. 

Breathe it in. I have many guided visualisations 

that enhance this illumination but ultimately it’s 

down to you to connect with the light within 

you by intention. 

18


Now don’t get me wrong; I would never 

advocate for masking anyone (unless it’s a 

character makeup which is different) especially 

as I have two teenage daughters. No; makeup 

for me is about mood enhancement; carefully, 

subtly, tweaking that which defines the true 

authentic self, to allow the person to shine as 

they feel they should. 

Did you know that we are literally made 

of the same ingredients as Stars? We 

have Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen and 

Helium within us ! 

YOU are a Star!! 

Did you also know that your cells communicate 

with light? Ultra-weak coherent light. Dr.Fritz 

Popp discovered this and called it Bio-Photons; 

tiny packages of light that can be measured… 

it’s why we say “She lit up at the thought of it” 

or “The room lit up when he walked in”. 

It can be observed in detail in plants … 

chlorophyll in a petri dish literally scurries 

towards a torch. Life knows it needs light. But 

unlike plants, we, have the conscious capacity 

to embody this light through intention. 

My holistic inclination started with living in the 

New Forest as a child, and with a mum who 

used natural remedies and grew our veg. 

I trained in many different holistic practices as 

an adult and helped to develop The Original 

LightTable in California. 

All of them revolve around colour; which is a 

frequency of light. Especially the ‘Metatronic’ 

healing training I did. Hence Conscious Beauty, 

using only natural and ethical products.

Do you know how beautiful you are? Do you 

realise how unique and amazing you are? 

As a part of nature you ARE the strength in the 

trees, you ARE the joy in the flowers; the 

expansiveness of the sky; the fluidity of the 

river. Never doubt your ability to connect with 

this frequency around you because it IS you ! 

And there is no other you !! Stand barefoot on 

the earth. 

Allow the earth to nourish you with the 

electrons that can not only discard your 

anxiety, but boost your immunity. 

I have travelled the world as a Makeup Artist 

and have had many amazing opportunities to 

stand barefoot on different soil. 

South Africa is SO grounding, Caribbean is so 

uplifting, India is wise, California is inspiring, but 

my garden in England is all of these things! 

And I, am a part of it! Enjoy your beautiful self...

VARIATIONS ON A THEME 

Martin Lewis, West Berkshire Kinesiology 

'Variations on a Theme' is 22mins long and 

works on your 11th chakra - Pathwork to 

the Soul. 

The eleventh chakra is your ability to 

acquire advanced spiritual skills (travel 

beyond the limits of time and space, 

teleportation, bi-location, instantaneous 

precipitation of thoughts and telekinesis). 

The eleventh chakra is the spiritual library 

of the individual, containing all that he or 

she will need to operate as a divine human 

being. Work on this chakra is much like a 

librarian in a library, putting things in order 

but not changing anything that is found.

ARCHANGEL 

Carol Coggan 

Summer has been fun, we have focused on 

the positives, benefited from the sunshine, 

and not let circumstances get us down. By 

circumstances, I mean the things that are 

going on around us, whether it is situations 

or people. By maintaining high energy, 

then you will attract higher energy people, 

situations and things. Yes, you will still be 

in society and be aware of the negative 

circumstances, but your high energy will 

allow you to see beyond. 

September and October are for me, seeing 

beyond and moving on to the next phase. 

September takes me back to the start of 

school, it may be a new school or just a 

new class. It may be new friends. It was 

definitely a time with a new school 

uniform, and a reappraisal of “how much 

you had grown“. Whatever your school 

experience, and I know for some they were 

bleak, we can always take the idea of new 

beginnings, a new start, just like a new 

start in a notebook. 

In nature September is again when the 

plants are “fully grown,“ they are changing 

their “school uniform“. We have the last of 

the summer blooms and the harvest. The 

pictures of harvest are still with us, even 

though the method has changed. The 

golden fields and wheat are harvested. 

Often in September, we get an “Indian 

summer“, where the temperature rises 

again, but it is a pleasant heat. 

24


September’s new start will be following 

my vision, making sure I am on track. It 

will be maintaining my energy levels and 

still having fun, but will be a time of relooking 

at my business, building on my 

workshops and expanding. We set our 

vision at the beginning of the year, but it 

is not set in stone, it can always be 

tweaked, reappraised, changed. 

We have been working with Archangel 

Uriel and Archangel Metatron 

specifically over the last two months. I 

will still continue to work with them, 

Archangel Uriel for his new ideas and 

Archangel Metatron for his alignment. I 

am also going to work in September with 

Archangel Chamuel, whose name means 

“he who sees God“. He is often known as 

the “Finding Angel“. If you have lost 

anything ask Archangel Chamuel to guide 

you to find it. His vision of seeing 

everything, enables him to see exactly 

what you are looking for. Archangel 

Chamuel also helps you when seeking 

new beginnings or a new career. His 

mission is to help us to attain peace, and 

as such will help me with my vision and 

inner peace. 

October is often called the season of 

“mellow fruitfulness!“ Or is it? For me, it 

is again the changing of the seasons, 

colours of nature are changing to warm 

brown, russet. A time of wind, but being 

wrapped up and walking along scuffing 

the fallen leaves with your boots, jumping 

in puddles. Keep having fun, even if you 

are laden with worries. 

Archangel Ariel can step in as the Lioness 

of God. She is the Archangel of 

manifestation and ensures that all our 

needs are met. She is the Archangel of 

our planet’s natural resources, and 

ensures the proper treatment of people 

and animals. She works so our needs of 

food, clothes, shelter are all met i.e. our 

earthly needs. As she is responsible for 

the planet’s resources, she will help you 

when in nature and environmentalism. 

This seems very wide, but remember the 

Archangels are beyond time and space, 

they can be with the planet, but also with 

you specifically. Archangel Ariel will help 

you manifest your needs and desires. 

Pass any worries to the Angels, focus on 

what you would love, vision and ask your 

army of Angels for help and guidance. 

If you want any help getting in touch with these Archangels or want to work with 

Archangel Ariel specifically, then drop me an email and we can have a clarity call.

TRANSITIONS AND 

TRANSMUTATIONS 

John Sjovik 

Clouds float by on a cool September sky. 

The ground is soft, as I lay down to rest on leaves and twigs. Thoughts come and go, and feelings abound. 

The afternoon is tired and my spirit needs a rest. A tree nearby gives gentle care and I sense the warmth of 

nature. 

For a brief moment, time holds its flow and I can hear the voice from the great void as it speaks its wisdom 

The changing season will soon be here and we will 

bathe in the glow of its moon. It is time to honour 

the Green Man, to celebrate Mabon and the 

autumn equinox. 

The Lakota tribe of North America had a name for 

the month of October which was “The Moon of the 

Changing Season” or “The Moon of Falling Leaves”. 

There is a colourful rhythm to the transition we 

witness in nature as summer goes into autumn. We 

would be wise to follow and contribute to that 

rhythm. 

Ceremony is important and not least in the 

celebration of seasons as the year progresses from 

one stage to the next. 

When I was a child in Sweden, I would collect 

yellow leaves that had fallen off oak trees in the 

park nearby where we lived. My sister showed me 

how to put them between the pages of a book and 

leave them to dry and become flat. 

My family would visit a farm with an apple orchard 

and we bought freshly made cider. We would pick 

plums and my mum made jam and compote. 

Changing seasons, falling leaves, apples and plums... 

Autumn is a time to celebrate and enjoy. 

28

Necessary and voluntary transitions 

My ancestral history was characterized by poverty. Like 

many people in Scandinavia, my ancestors made their 

living from farming and fishing. Improved living 

conditions would of course have been welcomed. Yet, 

change was not necessarily always considered a good 

thing. What people looked for was stability and a 

predictable future with some level of security. Expected 

transitions during the journey through life were accepted. 

That was how life was in those days. You were born, 

grew up to maturity, got old and died. Those were the 

unavoidable transitions every person could look forward 

to. To add voluntary transitions, for your own benefit or 

pleasure, was considered presumptuous and tainted with 

pride. I remember talking to an elderly relative when I 

was a boy. I asked him about his hopes and aspirations in 

life. He was a bit surprised by the question as if he did 

not think in such terms. He explained to me that life was 

about having a home, a job, clothes on your body and 

food to eat. Maybe get married and have children? 

Anything more than that was superficial vanity. 

Age Steps 

In the past, many homes in Sweden would have a framed 

print hanging on the wall, showing the “Age Steps”. It 

would show steps leading up to a platform and then 

steps going down the other side. Each step would 

symbolize a decade, with the top step or platform 

representing the culmination of life at the age of 50. 

Each step symbolized a transition, with qualities, 

opportunities and challenges related to that specific 

transition. There were even separate Age Steps, one for 

women and one for men. With framed prints hanging on 

the wall, you could follow your journey through life and 

see what you could expect from each step. Prints like the 

Age Steps ladder served as a reminder of the transitions 

you met in life and that you needed to be prepared to 

deal with them. In life, we all experience transitions. We 

go to school, change jobs, get married... We invite some 

of the transitions with joy and feel more reluctant about 

others. Yet, a transition is inherently good, change is 

always good. It may be challenging and difficult, but that 

is when we learn and develop as human beings. We pick 

up new skills and gain fresh insights. We would not 

evolve, either as people or as a society if we did not face 

transitions and went through transformations. If the 

leaves of last year did not fall from the tree, fresh ones 

would not appear this year. 

29

Alchemy and gold 

Some years ago, I saw an exhibition at the 

Ashmolean library in Oxford. It was called 

“Spellbound” and focused on Magic, Ritual and 

Witchcraft. My favourite object of all on display 

was a scrying mirror said to have belonged to John 

Dee, which he supposedly used for divination. He 

was famously the personal astrologer to Queen 

Elisabeth I. Doctor Dee was also involved in 

alchemy. 

Alchemy is commonly known for the allure of 

changing base metals into noble metals (gold). 

However, the term “gold” really refers to purity, 

uniqueness, of high standing. To go through a 

process where you evolve and improve as a human 

being. 

My teacher in Shamanism often talked about 

reaching for “the golden standard”. He was not 

referring to metal. Traditional alchemists often said 

that “our gold is not your gold”. They wanted to 

highlight the esoteric quality of alchemy, the 

ambition to reach higher values, and a greater moral 

standard. In that sense, alchemy can be said to refer 

to the process of transmutation by which to evolve 

to a higher level of purity in your heart and soul. 

Alchemy and Rune magic 

As part of the Nordic shamanic tradition, there is 

rune magic. The concept of rune magic is vast and 

complex and a topic for a separate study. The word 

“runa” or rune can be interpreted as “hidden 

knowledge”. Amongst the 24 runes often used, 

there is one called Pertra (peorð in Anglo-Saxon). 

In applied rune magic, Pertra represents 

transformation or transmutation. It is connected to 

the dwarfs who live in caves deep within the earth 

and the mountains. The dwarfs use their expertise 

as smiths to refine and transform the raw material 

they find into fine jewellery and beautiful art, often 

with magic properties. 

There is an alchemical quality to their work and also 

to the rune Pertra. If a divination presents you with 

this rune, you would be wise to consider various 

aspects of transformation. 

30

Panta Rei meets Quantum Physics 

The Greek philosopher Heraclitus viewed the world as 

being in perpetual change. As a metaphor, he talked 

about how you can never step into the same river twice. 

Everything flows (“panta rei”) and as the water flows by, 

it is not the same river as it was a moment ago. This type 

of transition is not really what people think about in 

everyday life. We humans seem to be little inclined to 

noticing small changes, be it in our personal appearance 

or the waterflow of a river. We wish to believe there is 

something like permanency, yet change is the only 

permanent feature of our lives. Nothing stands still. 

Movement is everywhere. 

Heraclitus lived in Greece around 500BC. 2.400 years 

later, at the beginning of the 20th century, scientists 

such as Planck, Einstein, Bohr, de Broglie, Schrodinger 

and Heisenberg introduced theories that developed into 

what we today know as Quantum Physics. 

The dual nature of matter is reflected in 

a) particle – wave (E = hc /λ ) 

b) energy – matter (E = mc² ) 

c) uncertainty in measurement of position and velocity of 

an object 

uncertainty in 

position 

uncertainty in 

momentum 

Planck's 

constant 

Pi 

We see that the inner quality of matter results in 

constant transition between various states. Matter can 

be seen as particles or wave forms, and even at the same 

time. Matter and energy are in some way exchangeable. 

In many healing modalities, there is the concept of 

“universal life force”, that energy is everywhere. There 

are the concepts of Reiki, Qi, Prana and more. 

Matter cannot be defined to be in a fixed and stable 

condition, with all quantities and qualities measured 

exactly. Its position and velocity can not be measured at 

the same time. If the position of an electron (x) is defined 

by complete accuracy, then its velocity or momentum (p) 

will be highly uncertain. The same situation is valid the 

other way around. 

31

The universe and indeed life itself, is constantly 

changing, moving, transitioning and transmuting. 

This is true on the scale of elementary particles, as 

science shows. It is also true on a human scale and 

even cosmic scale, as philosophers, shamans and 

healers know. 

Seasons come and go: they arrive and depart as 

they end. They merge, one into the other, as the 

wheel of life rotates on the axis of time. 

The velvety touch of leaves on a forest path 

The cool water in a stream 

The rustling in the bushes 

...as an aging snake looks for its final resting place 

Movement is everywhere 

The Moon replaces the Sun 

Day becomes night 

And Halley’s comet returns 

Alice moves through the looking glass and finds a world 

quite different 

Physical movement is partnered with emotional 

change to trigger a spiritual flow 

We see through our hearts and refine our sight into 

vision 

The galaxy turns and all is well with the cosmos.

THE ANDROMEDA EFFECT 

PART 1 

 

Julie Adams 

“There is a waiting room where souls go, to 

decide what experience they want on Earth, 

they choose the location, the people to share 

the experience, and they do this to better 

understand all aspects of human existence.. 

and when they are done they will all meet 

back in that waiting room to share their 

findings, before choosing another experience. 

WRONG. Our existence is not chosen by us, 

and NOT by a divine source… 

We are ‘controlled’ by alien energies, 

specifically the Andromedeans or A’s, a force 

referred to in my book as ‘The Andromeda 

Effect’. 

We are in effect prisoners being kept in the 

dark in a cosmic zoo.” 

This is the opening paragraph of an 

unpublished book by Alden, a kinesiologist 

who wishes to remain anonymous. A 

combination of research and information 

gleaned from thousands of patients over 

the last twenty years. 

Alden does not have time to work on his 

book so he has kindly entrusted me with his 

notes, so I can make this information 

available to you via this magazine. 

I do not wish to come over as a conspiracy 

theorist but you really need to read this and 

then make your own mind up. It is 

shocking! 

When I read the first draft of his book I was 

so stunned I couldn’t speak for two days. 

34


Alden has entitled his book ‘The Andromeda 

Effect’ because in the early days of 

discovering these alien energies in his clinic, 

his clients were all triggered from this 

energy source. However, he has since 

realised that they are not just from this 

source, but from many others including 

Acamaria and Allula Borealias – hence they 

are referred to as the A’s. 

The Andromedeans appear to be in charge, 

with the Acamarians and Allula Borealians 

being the foot soldiers. 

All of these alien beings have the same aim; 

to suppress our Higher Self Development 

(HSD). Free will is abhorrent and spiritual 

enlightenment needs to be thwarted at all 

costs. 

They ‘arrived’ at the time of the last fall, 

when Atlantis was destroyed due to an 

intergalactic war in about 9,000 BC. 

When I say they ‘arrived’, I am not talking 

about little green men – they have 

energetically infiltrated our DNA. 

80% of the world population today is affected 

by Andromedean energy. 

I think we are all agreed that we are made 

from stardust – what happens when our 

bodies expire depends on our belief system: 

I believe there is no death – we take another 

energetic form and reincarnate some time 

later into another body. 

This happens many times and is called 

karmic looping. HSD is the only way we can 

escape karmic looping. 

Being human is a false reality – we are 

spiritual beings experiencing a human 

existence. Being human is a ‘prison state’. 

We are prisoners, trapped in a body or 

prison suit, on a prison called Earth! 

35


Albert Einstein said: 

“A human being is a part of the whole, called 

by us ‘The Universe’, a part limited by time 

and space. Man and woman experience 

themselves through thoughts and feelings as 

something separate from reality, a kind of 

illusion, or delusion. This delusion is a kind of 

prison for us, restricting us to our personal 

desires and affection for a few persons 

nearest to us”. 

Our task is to free ourselves from this 

prison by widening our circle of compassion 

to embrace all living creatures and the 

whole of nature’s beauty’. 

Plato used the allegory of the ‘prisoners in a 

cave’ to convey the same message: 

“When the cave prisoners are free of their 

bonds they would be so overwhelmed by the 

brightness of the light of understanding our 

‘human condition’ that at first they would not 

be able to see a single one of the things 

revealed as ‘real’”. 

Of course we tend to reject truth when it 

doesn’t fit our own belief systems… 

What we don’t realise is these belief 

systems are not always our own – they are 

programmes that have been instilled within 

us to influence and even control our 

behaviour. 

The goal is to lead the prisoners into the 

light to reveal the true reality – also known 

as the Universal Truth.

THE MIGHTY RIVER AND THE GRANDMOTHERS 

In the coming editions of Alchemical Voice we will 

cover the following chapters of the full story for our 

present times from tens of thousands of years ago 

Part 1: Walking (May/June edition) 

Part 2: The mighty river (May/June edition) 

Part 3: “The gods are playing with us” (August/September edition) 

Part 4: Our Medicine Man speaks (this edition) 

Part 5: The Eagle calls 

Part 6: “For the sakes of our children’s children’s children” 

Part 7: The sticks for the Grandmothers 

Part 8: Gogogama speaks 

These stories originated in a past life experience 

SUMMARY SO FAR 

Kwekwe is an inspired leader and time spirit. He is leading us, his people, along the coast to where 

he believes the Sun God will be turning to our left when rising out of the sea instead of to our right. 

We reached a wide, mighty river with many small islands. We could not even see the other side of 

the estuary and decided to make camp. A group of elders designated one island with glee-glee trees 

and scrum-scum bushes as our sacred meeting place. Our medicine man Oo-oo-warawara stays 

there. 

Kwekwe has told how Nqunqu’s father’s spirit has indicated that they might be able to cross the 

river with two strong men sitting on a tree log and pushing the water with their hands. The elders 

are worried about the women with child and the children and the older men and women who could 

not cross in that way. 

PART 4: OUR MEDICINE MAN SPEAKS 

Oo-oo-warawara has been lying against a tree with his 

eyes closed and I assumed that he had fallen asleep 

after chewing too many of the wai-wai leaves. Now he 

half opens his eyes, sits up and lets out a long deep 

throaty breath: “woooooaaaargh”. 

That captures everyone’s attention. The younger men 

here, like me, sit up and look at Oo-oo-warawara 

expectantly. 

Our Medicine Man speaks slowly: 

“Nnnggghhhh,” he moans first. “Respected elders, 

brothers and sisters….” 

40

He picks up the stout branch lying by his side. I noticed 

yesterday how he has taken to walking everywhere with 

it. It is useful when crossing the streams between the 

islands to keep steady where the currents are stronger. 

He has always liked poking a branch into termite 

mounds. He laughs as he chases the disturbed animals 

and pops some in his mouth. No-one else likes the taste 

of termites. 

Now he continues, holding the stick between his knees 

and occasionally pounding the end on the ground, to 

give himself a moment to gather his thoughts or to 

emphasize a point. 

“Our leader Kwekwe has fire in his belly. 

“He has brought us a long way. Even I doubted his story 

about the Sun God, until I spoke with my big white bird 

spirit and then I knew, Kwekwe was right. We must find 

that land where the Sun God at his highest makes the 

shadows point to the land of our ancestors. The journey 

is still long. It may be that only our children reach the 

promised land. Maybe only our children’s children’s 

children. 

The skies, the birds and the earth have spoken. 

They have shown the way for our tribe. 

They have blessed us with shellfish from the sea. Even 

the old men and women have been able to forage 

enough to keep us going and the young children have 

also fed on them. 

I know that some elders have been happy to rest here. 

We have found the strange fruits on these islands to be 

sweet. 

And every few days another family’s hunters return 

with a wildebeest or at least a gazelle. The meat is 

enough for their family with some to spare for the 

medicine man and sometimes for the older women.” 

Oo-oo-warawara pauses to take a leaf out of his elandskin 

medicine pouch. He chews it thoughtfully, knowing 

that we will all wait. 

The more important his message, the more he will take 

his time. 

A couple of the older men are stirring, exchanging 

glances. 

The Medicine Man picks up the vine of his speech: 

41

“Four nights ago, when you were all sleeping, I was 

called by the distant roar of a sabre-toothed lion. I 

knew it was the spirit of our ancient ancestors calling 

me so that I can speak for our children’s children’s 

children. 

I walked through the streams, across our islands 

alongside the mighty river until there were no more 

islands – just open veld beside the river. The river was 

narrower now, but still far too wide and deep to cross. 

The stars lit my way and before long the Sun God rose 

behind me, showing me the way ahead. 

The earth rose steadily to my left and on a hill ahead I 

spotted a family of elephants around three baobab 

trees. 

My elders, you all know what a happy sign that is. 

I quickened my step and almost did not see a bunch of 

jackals dozing next to the carcass of an old wildebeest. 

Two of them snarled at me, warning my spirit to be 

more careful and respectful. 

When I reached the baobabs, I saw that it was truly a 

sacred place for the elephant people. 

I saw them foraging below on the plains but nearby I 

saw some of their bleached bones and their giant teeth. 

Many scarab beetles were working, pushing the ripe 

elephant dung into balls. 

Ha, I was able to find some with good fat beetle bugs 

inside those dung balls!” 

He laughs. I look around the circle. The younger men 

here are still listening to Oo-oo-warawara with rapt 

attention. The older men and women have their eyes 

closed and one is snoring gently, but I can tell that the 

others are alert, some tuning into their spirits to check 

the deeper messages emanating from our medicine man 

beyond his words. Many are nodding gently. At the 

mention of the baby beetles, many smile.

BUILDING A RESILIENT 

IMMUNE SYSTEM 

Martin Lewis 

The immune system comprises organs, tissues 

and cells that protect us against infectious 

factors such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, 

parasites and other harmful agents that lurk in 

the environment. These harmful agents may 

include toxins, allergens and other anti-genetic 

factors, that enter the body via our lungs, and 

the surface of the digestive tract. 

When a pathogen (a harmful microbe or 

undesirable substance) is detected, the 

immune system mobilises resources to 

respond. White blood cells, which are formed 

in the bone marrow, and travel throughout the 

body inside the length of the lymphatic 

system, are an incredibly important part of this 

immune response. Specific types of white 

blood cell - granulocytes (neutrophils, 

eosinophils, and basophils), monocytes and 

lymphocytes (T cells and B cells) are mobilised 

to kill off the infection or deal with 

inflammation. 

Large granular lymphocytes (natural killer cells) 

are particularly important as they provide a 

rapid response to virus-infected cells and 

other intracellular pathogens, acting at around 

3 days after infection. They also inhibit tumour 

formation. 

This immune response is tailored to the source 

of the problem, whether it's an infection, injury, 

a traumatic event, the presence of dis-eased 

cells, toxins or allergens. The immune system 

provides physical barriers as well as biological 

and chemical weaponry to keep our body 

defended and to help aid repair and recovery 

from these challenges. 

Although the immune system responds to 

attacks on a physiological level, it depends on 

our conscious responses to external factors to 

help it do its job. If you are not consciously 

dealing appropriately with an external stressor, 

then you are not enabling your immune system 

to do its internal work. 

For example, B-cells (or more correctly B- 

lymphocytes) are cells that produce antibodies 

to fight bacteria and viruses. B-cells can inhibit 

disease development by producing antibodies 

that may attack cancer cells or oncogenic 

viruses, such as HPV (human papilloma virus). 

At other times, regulatory B-cells may release 

immune-suppressive cytokines that stifle an 

anti-tumour response. There are a number of 

reasons for this, one being the emotional 

condition that either enhances B-cell activity 

OR stifles it. 

46

Humiliation and shame can stifle B-cell activity, 

while anxiety and fear can enhance it’s response. 

However, you don’t want to specifically frighten 

yourself to get your B-cells to work for you! 

This is about an appropriate response to the 

emotional situation, to enable a balanced 

reaction to the attack, and enable the immune 

system to respond as it needs to. 

Think of an ‘auto-immune’ disease (like lupus). 

This is likely to have an emotional component of 

anger and the need to be punished at the root of 

the disease. 

If you believe you are needing to be 

punished you disable your own immune 

response! 

These emotional aspects need to be dealt with 

appropriately, so the internal systems rebalance. 

A well-functioning immune system has always 

been critical for surviving a hostile environment. 

Any kind of stress or nutritional deficiency has a 

negative impact on the performance of our 

immune system, so managing our often hectic 

lifestyle, and the intake of optimum nutrition 

takes centre stage in any holistic solution to 

keep the immune system primed and ready for 

action. 

The role of selected nutrients and herbs help 

maintain a robust and high-performing immune 

system. Specific nutrients, such as Vitamins A, C, 

E and D, fatty acids such as Omega 3, and 

various minerals as such Zinc, Copper, 

Magnesium and Selenium can influence or 

modulate our immune response. 

As part of the ageing process a decline in our 

immune function is typically observed, and it 

becomes more difficult to maintain effective 

immune response to resolve inflammation and 

restore the body to its usual state of health. This 

decline effects both the adaptive and innate 

immune systems. There tends to be a switch to 

the production of inflammation favouring cells. 

Interestingly inflammation also relates to the 

emotional conditions of misery and a lack of 

optimism, often a common problem in the 

elderly. 

47

When we don't feel that life is moving forward 

as we would like, and joy is lacking in our lives, 

our body can turn this emotional state into a 

physical pathogenic problem and then create a 

cytokine response due to the level of emotional 

imbalance. Hence as we get older we need to 

enhance our nutritional input as a matter of 

course. 

Deficiencies of micro-nutrition can cause agerelated 

dysregulation of the immune system and 

an increased inflammatory response. 

Vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and enzymes are 

crucial in the production of antibodies and the 

generation of specialised memory cells, to 

enable our bodies to create an adaptive 

response of T and B cells to a pathogenic 

invasion. 

Vitamin D (the ‘sunshine’ vitamin) for example 

enables the production of antimicrobial peptides 

and has been found to support respiratory tract 

infections, as does Vitamin C. 

Zinc is incredibly important in immune system 

function, as it is required for the development 

and functioning of immune cells in both the 

innate and adaptive immune systems. Zinc is a 

key antioxidant and is commonly deficient in the 

elderly, in which case supplementation is 

suggested as a matter of course. This key 

nutrient is used up by WORRY and 

‘overthinking’ — hence you can literally ‘worry 

yourself sick’! 

Eating a well-balanced diet, especially the 

Mediterranean type, and supplementing this diet 

with key vitamins and minerals insures our 

bodies get an adequate supply of the nutritional 

aspects it requires, to support us during our 

increasingly stressful lives.

EGYPTIAN EYE OF HORUS 

MYSTERY SCHOOLS 

Julie de Vere Hunt 

In ‘Mary Magdalene’s Legacy’, Mary 

Magdalene, her mother and her daughter 

Sarah, all attended the Isis mystery school in 

Alexandria, Egypt. 

“My mother had trained as a priestess at the 

Great Mother Isis Temple School in 

Alexandria. She wore a golden serpent on 

her left arm, spiralling up from the elbow, 

signifying she was an initiate of this Temple 

School. The serpent represents the kundalini 

energy at the base of the spine, which when 

activated through specific energetic or 

tantric practices, can spiral up and shift 

consciousness in an individual beyond the 

mind into Cosmic Awareness. This symbol of 

resurrection indicates the wearer has been 

initiated into the mysteries of Isis, and 

serves the Great Mother’s creation and its 

awakening from ‘spiritual death’ or 

separation consciousness. 

The electro (male) – magnetic (female) 

energy of the earth also flows in a 

serpentine fashion, called ley lines. These ley 

lines circumnavigate the earth to form a 

consciousness grid. 

The seven ancient wonders of the world are 

located on ley lines and are energetic 

‘power points’. This energy can be 

channelled and directed for the benefit of 

the earth and all its life forms.” 

“It being a mystery school, I was sworn to 

secrecy and we all took oaths. Mystery 

schools had been set up over the ages by 

small groups of enlightened people to break 

up the power circles created by the wealthy 

and powerful priesthood who controlled 

the people. 

“The aim of these mystery schools was to 

protect advanced scientific information 

encoded in texts, drawings and art that 

would appear ordinary if they fell into the 

wrong hands. Some schools did not write 

anything down – the information was 

passed down orally as pure sound syllables 

and ultrasonic frequencies.” 

Exceptional graduates from the Isis School 

would qualify for an invitation to attend 

The Eye of Horus Mystery Schools. 

49

These schools were named after Horus, son 

of Isis and Osiris. Set, brother of Isis and 

murderer of Osiris, was Horus’ rival. Horus 

was often depicted as a man with a falcon 

head. 

There were three Eye of Horus Mystery 

Schools in Egypt: the male school was the 

Right Eye of Horus, the female school the 

Left Eye of Horus. The third school was the 

child, the Middle, or Third Eye of Horus. This 

is life, which the Egyptians considered to be 

the most important school of all. They 

believed everything that happens in life is a 

lesson, part of a school preparing for higher 

levels of existence, which the modern world 

calls death. 

Initiates always attended the Left Eye of 

Horus School first. The feminine pathway 

explored emotions and feelings, both 

positive and negative, tantra, or sexual 

energy and their relationship to immortality, 

birthing, psychic energy, and everything that 

defies logic. If there was an emotional 

imbalance, this imbalance would stop the 

initiate from evolving. Without love, 

compassion and a healthy emotional body, 

the initiate would proceed on the path of 

enlightenment only so far, then stop. The 

mind can and will trick you into thinking all is 

well when not! 

50 

Fear was and remains the primary force 

which stops a person from growing into the 

light. As we move into the higher world of 

light, we manifest out thoughts and feelings 

directly. So what all the ancient races 

discovered, is that in order to exist in the 

higher worlds, we must overcome our fears 

here on Earth.

To achieve this, the Egyptians built 12 

special temples along the Nile, associated 

with each of the chakras. Each chakra has its 

associated fears. It took 12 years of 

initiation, spending one year or cycle at each 

of the temples, learning all aspects of 

feminine consciousness. At each of the 

temples they would be put into extremely 

fearful situations, so by the end of 12 years 

they were absolutely fearless! 

Earlier this year I visited the Kom Ombo 

Temple, the only temple dedicated to 

polarity or duality, the basis of sexuality. 

There are two gods associated with it – 

Sobek (crocodile god and darkness) and 

Horus (light). This temple represents the 2nd 

chakra, the sexual chakra. The initiation 

ceremony involved swimming underground 

through a crocodile infested pool and finding 

the correct exit – the crocodiles were well 

fed but only intense preparation through 

meditation and breathing techniques would 

enable success. Not for the faint hearted! 

The Great Pyramid was the 13th temple and 

place of initiation. Once emotional healing 

had taken place the initiates would progress 

to the male or Right Eye of Horus Mystery 

School which was taught orally.

THE TRANSFORM 

PROCESS 

Silvia Siret 

Let me introduce you to my ‘Baby’. I have been birthing this process 

for about 17 years, and now it is here. To help you understand what 

it is about, I have put some words to the first letters: 

T 

R 

A 

N 

S 

F 

O 

R 

M 

Trigger, trauma, tragedy, tired, trapped, transgenerational 

Root cause, reflecting, remembering, relating 

Acknowledging, awakening, accepting 

Navigating, naming it, nurturing, nature 

Story, shadows, safe, systems, soul searching, sharing 

Feeling, freedom, faith, family systems 

Owning, opening, observing 

Releasing, reconnecting, returning, recreating 

Metamorphosis, maintaining, meaning, magic 

We are all going through stages in life. In the first seven years, we 

are being constructed by the world we are born into. We are at the 

mercy of those around us. Our parents or carers and the society we 

were born into had many hopes and expectations of and for us, and 

they did their best to shape us in the way they needed us to be. 

That, of course, continued until we decided to make decisions for 

ourselves about what we wanted and what not. 

By age seven our blueprint of how we looked out into the world was 

set. We stepped out of our magical world of play and entered the 

wider world, and we started making sense of everything more and 

more cognitively. 

As an adolescent, we transitioned into adulthood, which meant we 

naturally questioned everything and started shaping ourselves more 

actively. At the same time, we still found ourselves mostly at the 

mercy of those we depended on to support us. 

The next stage was creating some sort of independence and 

vocational training or academic learning. This was the first time we 

met adults as adults. During all those years, we will not only have 

dealt with our own emotions but also with those of our close ones. 

52

How we were able to respond to life’s challenges 

depended very much on their emotional availability and 

maturity. We know now that trauma travels through 

several generations; but there may also have been 

events in our parents’ and our own lives which caused a 

trauma response (fight, flight, freeze, disassociation). 

So, how we experience our world depends very much 

on the emotional availability of those who helped us 

grow up and be educated. 

At first we saw the world through the lens of our 

parents/carers, and later our own experiences will have 

had a further impact on our responses. As long as we 

are unconscious of why we (re)act in the ways we do, 

we are still very much at the mercy of those around us. 

Transformation happens naturally, all the time. Life 

makes us – we simply can’t get away with not growing. 

Yet, we may not even be aware that we are. 

Usually, when we feel so overwhelmed and stuck that 

we can’t take it anymore, we start looking a little 

deeper. There is a way to consciously change, and that 

is where The TRANSFORM Process comes in. 

I work with people who are at that stage in life: They 

want change. Looking into our ancestry, the way we 

were raised, our encounters, the kind of community 

that surrounded us, the society we were part of, 

morals, religious views, and the country values, that 

have shaped us; we think we know who we are. But we 

are not a name, we are not our body, we are not what 

we do professionally, and we are not what we have 

faced. 

We are consciousness experiencing a physical body 

within a physical world. Here is the good news: Our 

brains are plastic, which means the neurological 

pathways and thought patterns were created through 

our experiences; but it also means that we can form 

new thought trails and recreate ourselves. We can 

actively transform ourselves and become who we 

choose to be. I always feel a sense of awe and 

humbleness when I witness clients’ faces after they’ve 

gone through The TRANSFORM Process with me. I 

am grateful to be able to offer this – my gift – to the 

world.
