Energy Fields, Energy Leaks & the Human Body

I get asked lots of questions on my market stall and through emails, texts and messages…..many of those are about my understanding and extensive work with the human energy field.

The energy field is one of the areas I have been looking into for most of my life in an effort to make sense of exactly what is taking place in and around us (especially those who are walking a spiritual path) and of course to learn how to work with it more effectively.

You probably know about my book Closing the Energy Leaks© or ‘Windows’ as we like to call it, and how in this book I explore the ways and means our energy fields are functioning or not at this point in time.

I wrote this book to help myself and others with their own work on their own energy fields - as it is an often mis-understood aspect and function of our lives here.

My biggest discovery so many years ago when I was first studying human energy fields was how we are all oozing energy from pretty much every part, organ, system and function of our body. We have arrived at this crossroad on our journey on this planet in fairly poor energetic condition – for the most part!

To explain this a little more here is an excerpt from my book; Closing the Energy Leaks©;

‘Therefore, leaking energy from the energy field is possible once the energy field has been damaged in some way. Anything that harms the body (poor food & water, medication) mind (trauma) and spirit (bullying) will equally impair function of the energy field.

An energy leak allows for an energy loss, parts of you actually go out through the open ‘window’ (rip, hole or tear) and become lost, stolen, hurt, and broken. When we start closing these holes, energy leaks or as I call them windows (because this is easy to visualize), the things taken on from others start to dislodge and can be lifted off, and then the parts of ourselves that have been given away, lost or stolen, can be reclaimed.

What also, starts to happen, is that you begin to re-form your own higher consciousness, as an individual within the larger framework of the universe and disengage from the control of the over-mind.’ 

Do not discount the part your energy field plays in your overall health and well-being – it is a vital part of the whole.

Pure Magical Alignment - It's About Time

I am now on day 8 of my detox and steadily marching towards my goals. I always keep myself busy during these days of fasting and this week has been no different. Right now I feels as if I have quite a few ‘projects’ on the go!

To keep ourselves busy is a blessing for the most part. But, being busy with a purpose is something altogether different again. I know so many people who keep going while doing absolutely nothing worthwhile.

I used to be there at one time. Then I gave up television, radio and most newspapers and stopped wasting my time with those useless noise machines. However, come to think of it, I probably stopped wasting my mind more then anything else.

Ever since (it’s been a long time) I seem to have time for everything I want to accomplish. No matter what I set out to do (unless it is part of an energy block) I certainly have time to do it or can find the time....

And what is more I can 'make' the time. If time is energy, our bodies generate our own energy from deep inside our cells, in the same way any other type of energy is created.

Our time then becomes unique to us – like a signature all our own and to be used for our own pursuits – following our dreams and passions is always best. Because, this is when a pure magical alignment takes place.

And the only way for it to play out within our lives in a productive manner is to have control of our time – to not let it be taken away from us or wasted.

When I think of each of the many ways we are encouraged to fritter away our time – well, it’s no wonder we feel drained and unwell. An energy source is being sucked out of our bodies and used by something or someone else.

It’s ‘time’ to take back our lives.

Just Below the Horizon of Thought

Today is one of those days that gives me lots to think about - it's as if something very deep needs to come up to the surface. But it's not quite ready yet - I can sense it stewing away just below the horizon of thought...

I have been busy cleaning out the garden from the weeds that seem to magically appear during the winter months. It is quite a task! Trying to remember what was plant and sort out where the garden stops and the weeds begin.

This always seems to bring things up for me somehow. Deeper levels of energy that have been long buried and perhaps mostly hidden from view - start to come into focus when ever I allow my thoughts to wander freely.

And I really enjoy these days...especially when there is actual heat in the sun and you can see the length of each day grow as the weeks go by. It's nice to be alive in the spring - when all of earth re-gains her purpose and meaning. 

If I have only learned one thing since Solstice season it is this - do not be afraid of what comes your way. Chances are you have created it - besides it's always an opportunity to clear away old patterns, beliefs, worries and to face those fears full on.

Some times I wonder if I tried hard enough, I might be able to see the future...my future. But - alas I cannot. Like most good things, I should be able to tell my future by what I create today. If I am building a framework for something, then in reality it should fall into place piece by piece as time moves forward.

When this doesn't happen (fast enough or in the right way) there is obviously a block of some kind. Now this is when our work begins in earnest. Our task more often then not is to overcome and remove these obstacles - rework our dreams and keep moving forward.

It's that simple...

I love sun - at any time of the day!

Recover What Has Been Lost - Energy Work...

This is my second day on my detox and I am feeling as I normally do when I start these - a little all over the place but just as determined to carry on with cleansing and getting into the deepest parts of myself possible.

The weather is also warmer then it was before Solstice and that makes for a welcome change even if it is mostly wet and rain filled days...however today is sunny with actual heat in the sun. I love that, when the sun comes back to us! 

Right now for this detox I have yet to fully focus on a single goal, there seem to be several floating around - but I know that it will solidify shortly into an overall theme. Of course I am always looking at getting more of myself back and this month is no exception.

The interesting point is how we have left so much of ourselves behind during lifetimes filled with turmoil, trauma and change. Not that this one has been much different for so many of us. However, this is the first lifetime (in a cycle of 3) that we have a chance to recover what we have lost.

And, it is important to only take back exactly what is yours - otherwise the energy will not fit. From the most basic principles of Energy Medicine - this situation creates energy blocks, frustration and causes harm within the energy field.

And we know anything that obstructs the flow of energy within the field will ultimately lead to dysfunction and disorder in the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies. One good reason to be working on areas of stagnant energy whenever possible.

This detox and this year is going to be an interesting one of great and good change...while further blocks are located and removed.

Closing Your Energy Leaks - Working in Your Own Energy Field

There is a lot of movement taking place energetically on the planet right now - like no other time on earth in fact. The shifts and change are imminent, necessary and much longed for. Even if they will cause upheaval, hardship and in many instances completely alter the course of our lives...

The only constant in our modern world is change and while there are so many of us who seek it, work at creating it and expect it - there are perhaps far more who exert an equal amount of force and pressure to stop this forward momentum.

Once upon a time I would have said that they did this without knowing what they were doing. But I have since come to a different conclusion. I happen to think that people know exactly what they are doing, who they are deep down and what their lives have made of them.

Whether they want to acknowledge those truths or not is quite another matter altogether. But, they do know and they are conscious of what they are doing. I am feeling as if the earth is up against this very same pressure at the moment...

There are those of us who will move forward, taking the good with the difficult and working at sorting it all out as we go along. Then there are those who will fight us every step of the way - blocking, upsetting, interfering and otherwise frustrating our progress.

My favourite word here is - overcome. It is up to us to find our way forward through these difficulties - and yes leave these people, situations, associations and relationships behind while we work at dissolving these areas in our lives.

Any place where we feel or experience being stuck is an energy block - simply put, energy no longer flows or moves appropriately in those areas. There will be a physical, emotional, spiritual and energetic layer to this block - each linked back to one another. 

The best way to start? Choose an area of your life and start taking steps today to break down and remove the block - I work on all dimensions at once but you don't have to do it as full on as that. It won't happen overnight either....

I have mentioned many times, I started out by being taught by my body how to work within my own Energy Field - I call this technique Closing the Energy Leaks(c) or Windows. What this does is begin the process of clearing debris from your electromagnetic field and making more energy available for your use. 

It will also enable you to focus on your own life, disengage from things that hold you back and start to move forward. I have even used Closing Energy Leaks to control pain...it is that powerful. But remember, these things have taken time to build up and will take time to re-pattern....

If you want to know more about working within your own Energy Field get my book, it is a workbook and will walk you through your own energy field. Or book a session with me to get you started....

Energy Patterns - Yours and Theirs...

Well another feast is done and now we are already planning our next Master Cleanse as well as getting back to day on/day off food and fasting. I must say I am ready and eager to keep moving ahead, and of course, fasting is such a simple way to do just that. 

Usually during these months we tighten up our routines - exercise, fasting and removing any thing that might slow us down. Mainly because, this time of year is moving towards the darkest (shadow aspects), and with it the germination of our hopes, wishes and desires.

In the same way that the earth grows darker and further away from the sun, so too do we. This is not a negative aspect of life however, just a vital part of the overall cycle of growth and renewal. Right now is the time (universally speaking) to place our dreams out there, making plans and deciding on a strategy of action, to make all we want possible.

Dreams without action are like talking into empty space - there is nothing for them to cling onto, no roots or foundation on which to rest and develop. Giving your wishes a foundation is a powerful motivator deep within our minds.

And our mind is the key element here in all of this. A negative mind pulls us down, lowers our energy and keeps us cycling around in frustration. The most interesting thing about energy is of course, how you will be dealing with not only your own energy (affecting your mind) but with the force of others around you as well.

When the agenda of other people or even someone specific comes between you and your dreams - then we have a real problem. Unfortunately, we are often dealing with this issue while feeling more and more negative, stressed and defeated, without the full realization of the other energy pattern's interference.

In an intuitive sense, this is referred to as an 'energy overlay' and can be clearly seen within the energy field by a skilled Medical Intuitive. Of course, the task at hand once this is made known, it to stop at nothing to break through and remove this imprint at all costs.

Often the roots of these energies run deeply into the physical body as well and take a toll on health. It is always best to uncover your main energy patterns and break them gently as you move along your path to higher ground.

Nothing in terms of energy 'belonging' to a person will ever do any harm, no matter what it is. However, ALL energy, in every form taken on from others will fester and create blocks within the energy field.

And this alone makes doing each cleanse, detox and fast worthwhile. I have never found one thing to work faster, better and easier then living this way! Food, Fast & Feast! 

Have a lovely day,

April

Master Cleanse Day 2

This morning I feel pretty good, my only detox complaint so far is one knee that is aching, however, I will say that I 'feel' absolutely toxic. It's as if something is working its' way up to the surface of my skin and boy am I aware of it.

My hair is limp, my skin is oily, I even dreamed last night of being in a house with people from my past where my skin was all lumpy and I felt yukky in the dream as well. It was interesting because a woman who had been sleeping outside finally woke up (I had been waiting for her to wake) and I was able to invite her inside the house for some food. 

That dream seemed like a good sign for the start of my fourth cleanse in four months.

However, being an intuitive, I find myself very sensitive to the goings on around me - this week has been heavy with negative energy (fear from the establishment) that has been playing out on the airwaves. 

For instance the prison sentence for the punk band Pussy Riot, is as unbelievable as it is absurd. Clearly the inquisition is alive and well when religion/state is able to influence (boldly) and direct the outcome of an independent court case. But alas nothing has changed, and the witch hunt continues. 

Reading about this in the media has actually pushed many of my own buttons from my memories of past lives, having been pursued and persecuted by these churches and their brand of self-righteousness. If you ever get a chance to read up on the lost tribe of Beothuk Indians in Newfoundland (of which I am descended), perhaps this might give you some insight into the enormity of the crimes committed. 

For me these cleanses always bring up not only the physical toxins such as DES I spoke about yesterday, but also these emotional and energetic toxins carried in our DNA. This is a very thorough process, if you allow it to be, and will also dislodge molecules of oppression that have formed into blocks in the energy field. 

Today, I have already done my salt water flush which of course always makes me feel better as some of the toxins get moving right away. And I plan on taking some senna tea tonight to keep the energy moving as well as exercise and a walk by the sea. 

For the most part, not a bad start to this cleanse at all! 

Talk tomorrow,

April

August Master Cleanse - Day 1

Even though lots has taken place and I can look back and see that each of these cleanses have taken time, effort and energy - I still can't believe that I am finally starting my August Master Cleanse and in the final leg of the little journey that I committed to in May.

Today, being day one is not usually a difficult day, the hardest days for fasting for me are usually day two and sometimes day three. After that it is often smooth sailing for the ten days, once the initial adjustment period is over and my body slips into 'detox mode'.

For those of you who have been following along, you probably know by now, how curious I am to see what comes up for me this time around. Well things are already happening and I am only on day one! LOL

As if right on cue, a subject that I rarely (if ever) see mentioned anywhere, unless I go looking for it (and I haven't in quite some time) has been brought to my attention. Probably not many of you have heard about this, but there is a drug that was given to pregnant women, back in the 60's and 70's called DES. 

Well, to make a long story short many of these women went on to have daughters exposed to this chemical (a synthetic estrogen), who grew up to find themselves with several 'problems' and health concerns as a direct result.

We have been referred to as DES daughters. 

I have long wondered if by doing these cleanses and detoxes I would eventually get to a place where I was directly detoxing out this chemical from my body. Having done so many Master Cleanses over the years, I know from past experience that toxins are dislodged from very early in life. 

In my own case, this would have been mainly antibiotics and medication given to me prior to age one. However, I have experienced detox of valium exposure (in utero) during my 40 days MC and I would be pleased if such a thing could happen with DES.

So, here we go! Who knows where this cleanse will take me this time around and has this been one of the 'blocks' that has been holding me down for so long? 

I will keep you posted,

April

Resistance on the Path

Many of us who are walking the spiritual path day to day experience a great level of resistance to the things we want or need in our lives. I have often heard it said that the higher you go, the greater the resistance, perhaps this is correct, as this would make perfect sense and is what we experience. However, what if the higher we go (in our vibration) the more we encounter the resistance that has been there all along?

For the most part nothing has changed. Our bodies are exactly the same inside and out, all we are doing when we fast, detox and cleanse is remove layers of dirt, poison and toxins that clog up the delicate inner machinery. This debris has slowed us down, stopped us, made us sick, tired, unbalanced and discouraged us from continuing on our journey's, it feels like a low level of constant frustration.

When you are detoxing, of course you are tackling these toxins and stripping them away each day you devote to clearing out your body. Along with this physical detox then comes a significant amount of processing or sifting 'through' what is being removed and why. As well as examining how it got there in the first place.

Some of the poisons and negative energies that we all carry around might astound you, but then again, most of us are never surprised at what is buried deeply within the body. If we look at the basic premise of 'as above, so below' or what is outside of us also exists inside of us - then all we need do is look around the world and see how much of a mess we have made.

However, that doesn't mean to say that doing this work is therefore futile - quite the opposite in fact. If just one of us starts to clean up and spends time removing rubbish, picking up after themselves and being careful to not create more refuse, what a difference this makes in the world. And it might inspire others to do the same.

Now, imagine if thousands or millions of us around the planet were doing the same thing - inside and out. Cleaning, detoxing and leaving nothing behind them, but a trail free of litter and debris. What we are doing is breaking down the resistance to higher consciousness one brick at a time proving to ourselves that it can be done.

Today is day three of my mini cleanse and I am working through some of the resistance in my body and life, disposing of the opposition to my hopes and dreams.

Have a lovely day,

April

Mini Cleanse Starting Today

Well the August Feast is over and I am slowly getting back on track here after a few days cooking, eating and generally enjoying myself where food is concerned. But, it is very nice to leave all that behind me and shift gears here into a little fast. There is so much to be gained from both eating and fasting!

As usual I always have a plan or a goal in place for each fast no matter how short or long (I have the same approach to food, I have realized) - I do each of these with some end point in mind. This week I am still working away on these inner blocks, which have been moving constantly, however, there is more work to be done.

If the 10 day Master Cleanse in July broke down the walls to the blocks and obstacles, perhaps doing a bit of a mini cleanse this week will take me further into now getting energy moving that has been still and stagnant for quite some time.

It's almost as if I have to encourage wheels to turn (energy centers?) that have been stuck, blocked and interfered with in some way for lifetimes. I can actually feel the energetic pattern going back a very long time including a couple of other lives (to a time when I was burned at the stake for working with herbs).  

So, in honour of these times, today I have made my own blends of herbal teas to get this energy moving and am now sipping away as I process through the thoughts and memories that are coming up to the surface. That is the single biggest advantage to using herbs for any of these situations - gentle, easy and they have an intelligence that works along with your body.

Is it any wonder that those in positions of power (read organized religion) have been so afraid of these precious plants that grow from the ground - they have no intuitive understanding of body wisdom, life force and energetic patterns. And to this day organized medicine (which started as a branch of organized religion) is very fearful that more people will wake up to these simple truths. 

And truth is exactly the vibration that awakens and energizes us, body, mind and soul. These is nothing on this planet more genuine and honest then some of these herbs that grow in the garden and I am looking forward to immersing myself in their vibration and spending the week in their presence with a cleanse. 

This mini-fast should be the start of an interesting week to say the least - I have already had a night of a single long dream that I kept going into and out of to the same story again and again. Then woke up feeling excited and ready to go, anticipating something, I love it when I feel this way!

I am off to make some more tea and see what this day brings me...

have a lovely day!

Onwards and Upwards

We are finished our 10 day Master Cleanse for July, that's three MC's in 3 months, with one more to go in August to complete the goal of doing a cleanse each month of the summer. (Well, it's summer somewhere?) And, once again we are all feeling good, a nice sense of accomplishment and miles ahead  from where we started out.

One main aspect of detoxing and cleansing that I most appreciate is that it is such an intensely focused time which enables me to get a lot of things done - or to think more deeply about the issues at hand and get at their roots. This last cleanse was all about breaking down those walls that have held me back for so long and I think that some serious inroads have been made.

Today physically I am feeling great, lots of energy, I slept well last night and had very deep and clear dreams. I feel as if something has broken through to the other side and there are now energies coming to the surface on several levels. 

Of course, with more energy free to circulate in your field, the patterns holding it in place for so long are also being dissolved, which means - issues that I have been attempting to work on are now coming up to be dealt with. Post cleanse, this is exactly where you want to find yourself.

All the hard work of cleaning, clearing, detoxing and opening up inner channels, during the 10 day cleanse should produce results of momentum and re-patterning within the energy field itself. This is the time then to feed yourself very well (for those who are following a spiritual path that means a particular diet) and to build up your resources as you sift through your inner worlds.

This is also the time to allow your dreams to guide you and to follow your heart as it is cleared and opened from the cleansing. Of course, once again the food you are eating is absolute key to this work - you cannot use your intuition (gift of discernment) properly if you are eating a toxic diet. 

If you are ready to move ahead, want to strengthen your connection with your body, mind and spirit and fully align with your purpose - this will take you there. Fasting is safe, easy and gentle - however there is work to be done and only you can do it. 

Have a nice day,

April

And Breakthrough On Day 4!

I went to bed last night a bit unsettled mostly because I was aware that things were moving and shifting but was trying to not get my hopes up too much about it. Wanting to break down these walls into this new space has been with me for awhile and I have been working away at it for seemingly a very long time. 

So what on earth am I talking about? This Master Cleanse, now on Day 4, has been focused on removing blocks, resistance and any areas of stagnant energy in my life that are holding me back in some way. I know that this is a very tall order for only a 10 day cleanse, however, I was hopeful that I would be able to make progress in a positive direction.

And now it seems that I have. During each cleanse I watch my dreams closely - I do this anyway and have many years of dream journals - last night I was given exactly the dreams I have been waiting for. Very clear and to the point showing me precisely what was happening and where I am with this goal of mine.

In one of my dreams I was going through a house looking for ghosts, I knew they were there because I could sense them but they were hiding. I found a very large energy entity up near the ceiling in one room and was able to contain it and then name it. Then I proceeded to give the people instructions on how to get rid of it - because it had moved into the house when it was empty, but it did not belong.

In another dream I had to sit an exam later that day and was preparing myself by studying, again there was no fear, no anxiety at all and I was very clear in what was expected of me. The exam was in physics (a subject I loved in Uni) and I was discussing the exam with other students. 

When dreams are clear such as this, it reassures us that we are on the right track and that old energetic patterns are shifting or clearing out to make room for new and better things. It feels great to get this far in such as short time and I am excited now to see what the rest of this cleanse brings for me.

Today I am feeling well, good energy levels, my mind is still clear and outside it has finally stopped raining - at least for now. Perhaps we will get the sunshine that we all need to top up our Vitamin D stores. Today was also another Salt Water Flush day so I am clearing out toxins in every way possible. 

Well, off to start my day!

Have a good one,

April

Flowers in bloom in the garden - lovely summer colours! 

3rd Day...

It is day 3 of our third Master Cleanse in 3 months and I am feeling pretty good. The one thing that I would say about this time around is that I have even more energy (if that is possible) and I feel as if my mind is as clear as a bell.

Sharp; that is how I feel, my thinking, my thoughts and the pictures that go along with both of those are clear and free flowing. My energy field seems to be lighter already - yet it seems as if I am anticipating something and as yet it has not revealed itself for me.

A few days ago I wrote about blocks in my energy field that were playing out in my life - this is still my focus, however, each time I bring my mind around to something that has felt to be resistant to change, I walk, do some Yoga and otherwise ponder it - and I am getting an immediate solution.

In some ways I have had that all along - but it was a much more difficult process and took far more time! This week, it appears to be instantaneous and these blocks really feel to be unravelling as each day moves on.

Yesterday I did accomplish a lot again- mostly writing. There is always so much that I want to say, and being a writer (and foodie) at heart, if I don't write it down - it becomes another block or area of stagnant energy. So there you have it - do what you are meant to be doing, no matter what anyone else thinks, or says and don't let your own worry, doubts and fears stop you.

Break down those walls, find what it is that you love to do and start doing it - even if it is for a few minutes a day. And if you are still uncertain about the few things that you would love to do, start doing something (anything) and see how it evolves and shapes into the things you are passionate about. 

Then work your way up to more of it, and see where it takes you. If there is no open door, build one, or break down the wall and go free.

These chains that bind and the blocks that hold us back will only remain in place for as long as we are willing to carry them around. When you take significant and tangible steps (actually do something real about them) then your entire being will align and respond with that new movement.

Of course, becoming an unblocked human on this planet also means responsibility - you must then own who you are, be that person and protect your newfound self and sense of identity. Who you are is precious, like finding a diamond in the sea - hold on to it, hold it up to the light and then let that beacon guide you forward.

If you have not yet started you own cleanse (in any fashion) it is about time you got started on your path. 

Have a warm day,

April

My garden fairy blowing bubbles

It's Day 2 - already!

Usually whenever I do a 10 day Master Cleanse, the first couple of days (which are often the hardest) drag on and seem to take forever. This time this is not the case and it has almost been very easy so far (too easy! LOL). Yesterday, I went to bed early with a slight headache and I felt a bit achy and tired. But I have been through worse.

Today I am feeling pretty good, not much in the way of detox symptoms that are physical - this time they are mostly mental and in my thinking. All day it feels as if I have been fighting 'demons' - don't exercise, you really want to eat, fear, worry, you can't do that blah, blah. All negative and all toxic - which right away tells me that this cleanse is working and that toxins are moving.

However, I must be getting to the bottom of the barrel because the really bad apples are coming out. I can feel the dark energy around and 'see' the toxins in my energy field as I go about my day. These thoughts are also intense and almost feel like they are coming from another dimension or far away place.

They don't even seem to be a part of me or my psyche, which is a relief, because I am not listening to them and doing my best to counter the negativity with positive mantras and thoughts. Each time I feel like not moving, I push myself to exercise, and each time I feel this voice telling me to stop the cleanse and eat something - I sip on my MC juice and carry on.

Physically, I feel great, I have gotten loads done, my mind feels sharp and clear and my memory - well lots of old buried deep memories have been coming up for me. I just know that this cleanse is one of the most important that I have ever done. 

Last night I was dreaming all night, but it was like one continuous long dream with many parts. I found myself sitting an exam at one stage with my cat at my feet, then taking a bus to travel to a distant city with someone else's phone that I was trying to use. Then arriving in that place and looking for a place to stay and thinking of a person's name, where I instantly arrived.

When I woke up it was as if I had actually travelled somewhere and I could sense a shift in my energy. I do feel lighter and stronger, and just more engaged in living, thinking and doing. Great place to be really.

Fasting, Master Cleanses and living this way has changed my life in so many ways, I would never go back to my old lifestyle for anything. This is just far too interesting and I feel great!

Hope you are all well,

April
