ABOUT ME

The light house

My journey with Spirit has been a beautiful one that has spanned almost 40 years to date. To most people, this may sound like a very long time indeed, but in truth, it still feels like just yesterday that I first started to learn so much about my ‘true purpose’ in this life. I was a young boy in school and had just experienced a very deep and personal tragedy with the sudden loss of my mother, and it was at this moment of my life that I first became consciously aware of Spirit. As God’s Angels and so many other beings of Light came forward to make me aware of their presence, I found myself on an incredible journey - one that would change the course of my life, far beyond anything I could have imagined.

Spirit understood that I was very young and the caring way in which I found myself connecting, sharing thoughts, experiencing and learning from Spirit was completely mind-blowing - especially for someone as young as I was. It all started with teachings in my dream-state; almost every night, I would find myself meeting so many loving Beings of Light. .

Along with my very personal teachings from Spirit, I started going along to my local Spiritualist Church - this was a place of true love and the various ‘Earth-Angels’ that I was destined to meet at this sanctuary of love helped me to come to terms with what I was experiencing - I learned that I wasn’t weird, or mad, or going crazy… I understood that Spirit is real, and this was all made clear to me when I first sat down with a lovely Medium at the Church almost 40 years ago, Margaret, as she told me things that nobody could possibly know or guess about my mother, of my very personal life and of my connection with Spirit. I knew I was on the path that God wanted me to be on and made a commitment at that time to do all I could to learn from Spirit, and to eventually help others through everything I was being taught - I wanted to do justice to my birth.

Although my family understood, accepted and fully supported the way my life was shaping, this wasn’t something I spoke about with friends or with the wider family. This was mypersonal journey and in later years, I would come to realise (just as I do even today) that many friends were never true friends anyway, shown by their reactions when they learned of my Spiritual life. But that is their journey and their beliefs; their judgements and discriminations are part of their learning process in this life of theirs

Forward the clock many years and my life has always been centred around my Spirituality. Yes, I needed to live this life and along with this life comes the need to earn money, provide a home, put food on the table and make a future for my family. I know that God has led me through an amazing career over the years, which helped me to live very well, allowing me to provide for and ensure a good future for those I love. Along the way, I continued to immerse myself with Spiritual experiences, strengthening my understanding and connection with Spirit. I learned to understand what Sprit was communicating to me and eventually found myself helping others in ‘by chance conversations’ (but I know that nothing is by chance!) using words from Spirit - these always surprised me just as much (if not more) as they did to the person I was talking with!

A number of ‘Stop and Re-evaluate Your Life’ moments have happened to me, particularly over recent years, and having been told so many times by Spirit that I needed change in my life to allow me to live a more Spiritually focused existence, I knew it was time to give up the corporate career, along with its six-figure income and to dedicate the rest of my life to working with Spirit. Having made this decision, I found myself learning and growing in all sorts of ways - I started formalising what I knew and found myself training as a Healing Medium back at that beautiful sanctuary of love, my Spiritualist Church. I’m an Angelic Reiki Master, I’m qualified as a certified practitioner and teacher of Meditation, I also learned and qualified to conduct other Spiritually-based therapies, such as Ear Candle treatment (of native American Indian origins) and Indian Head Massage. Bringing all of these together have helped me further deepen my connection with Spirit and forms the basis of what today I call, ‘The Light House - where energies come together’.

Angelic Reiki

Angelic Healing is a beautiful, gentle and powerful spiritual healing system. It works on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels to bring balance to our entire being and can bring about a significant improvement in many aspects of our lives. When you receive an Angel healing, you can experience the Angels' beautiful energy; during a healing session you may feel the presence of the Angels for yourself. Some people see colours, others feel energies, etc. It is a very relaxing experience and it can make you feel content, at total peace and empowered.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A SESSION?

The client is lying down, relaxed and fully clothed. I bring in the various Angels' individual healing energies, depending on what is needed in a session. For the most part, the energies are brought in with the healer''s hands hovering over the body, however, there may be some hands-on healing as well - always ensuring your complete comfort.

MEDITATION (one-to-one and group sessions)

Meditation is a word used so often and by so many people across the world, that it can now mean almost anything you want it to depending on each persons position in their lives at any given time. For me, it's about a way of finding a special sense of closeness with yourself, but with a *higher purpose. I believe that we are all part of the 'oneness of God', and as such, we are all made of a beautiful light that defines and comes from God, and that this light shines from deep within our souls. What I mean by the 'higher purpose' is that through peaceful, quiet and still meditation, not only can we calm our physical and emotional being, but we are able to see, understand and accept that we are God - if we are all made of His light, then every part of us must be God. Through meditation, understanding and accepting this enables us to then focus on connecting with our life's true purpose and helps to bring happiness and peace into our everyday lives.

In a typical one-to-one session, I would first take a little time to understand your thoughts on your life as it is right now, and talk about what sort of meditation would work best for you. This is then a time for us to block out the outside world - just you, me and Spirit, helping you to achieve a higher state of mind that will give you the most peaceful, silent and still experience - most people 'wake up' from their meditative state feeling refreshed, incredibly content and many will feel quite emotional. It;'s a truly lovely 'special' time for you in our 24/7 busy modern day lives.

Makes you happier

Meditation causes the pituitary gland in our brain to secrete endorphins that help elevate mood and have a positive effect on the whole body. It also alters brain activity to enhance the area associated with positive emotional experiences.

Reduces stress

Endorphins also act as a means of reducing stress levels in the brain; so by meditating you can stop worrying about the little things in life and concentrate on the exploration of yourself and the promotion of positive feelings.

Helps you focus

Meditating allows you to learn how to discipline yourself and this will reflect in your everyday lifestyle. When you address tasks, your mind will focus more naturally and you will experience an increased efficiency.

Improves sleep

Scientific studies have shown that those who meditate enhance their slow wave sleep pattern, which can help fight insomnia. Furthermore, focussing the mind on mental and physical processes will aid relaxation and consequently, sleep.

Lowers blood pressure

Research has also shown that meditation can help reduce blood pressure, both in the short term and later in life. By decreasing psychological stress and increasing coping ability, blood pressure decreases, helping you pursue a healthier life.

Relieves Pain

Long term practise of meditation can lead to physical changes in the brain that help alter the perception of pain. Those who meditate will experience lower pain sensitivity. Mindfulness, a result of meditation, can also help those who suffer chronic pain come to terms.

Connects you with others

Whilst it is true that meditation is mostly concentrated on self-growth, it also improves our social interaction. The mind becomes more sharply focussed on compassionate feelings that are directed towards others. As little as a few minutes of meditation practise can increase positive feelings towards strangers.

Strengthens your aura

Practising meditation increases your positive energy, which effectively makes you more pleasant to be around. People naturally gravitate towards positivity so your strengthened aura will help you enjoy others' company whilst they make the most of yours.

All of the benefits of meditation listed combine to help you become a healthier person. Reducing blood pressure, anxiety and depression helps you to handle pain and illness better and as an individual you can expect to become calmer and more centred, which will help you process decisions that lead to a healthy, long and fulfilled life.

Meditation is often overlooked as a genuine way to improve the quality of life but the reasons listed demonstrate that it should be experimented with and embraced.

Indian Head Massage treatment

Total Bliss! This is a really lovely way to relax and be pampered - and is all about making the most of some special 'you time'. I'd ask you to lay down and with your head supported by pillows, I'd start to gently introduce some lovely oils to your face, neck and head - this treatment will allow you to drift away into your dreams, while experiencing something truly beautiful!

Hopi Ear Candle Treatment

Incredibly relaxing - and something a little bit different! This is one of my absolute favourites - and something that many people wish to experience again and again.
Laying down on your side, I'll insert a completely safe and traditional ear candle into your ear (we'll do both sides so that you have the full experience). You'll drift away while experiencing the natural sounds of the candle burning - many people feel as though they're relaxing in front of an open fire on a hot summer's evening - the sounds of the fire crackling will fill your ears, helping you to experience a deep and relaxing state of mind and body.
Once we've taken time to do this on both ears, you'll be treated to a truly lovely and gentle outer ear and face massage, focusing on pressure point and lymphatic drainage to help you feel 'new' and totally relaxed.

The original use of ear candles was for aura and spiritual cleansing for purifying. They were used to cleanse and harmonise the different energy fields of the body.Equally they were also used in initiation rituals and healing ceremonies. The importance and use of ear candles is illustrated in numerous ancient wall.paintings including those found within the caves of the Grand Canyon.

Quite different from conventional wax candles, a Hopi Ear Candle is actually a cotton tube, impregnated with beeswax, honey and therapeutic oils, that is painlessly inserted into the ear to draw out impurities and relieve pressure in the head and sinuses.

How it works

Fully dressed the client lies down on their side, with their head supported on a pillow so the auditory canal is vertical.

The process involves placing a specially designed hollow candle just inside the ear canal, as far as is comfortable into the ear canal. Now known as Hopi Ear Candles, the hand-made structures are hollow tubes which contain honey, sage, St Johns Wort and camomile.

Chamomile – anti-inflammatory and gentle anti-spasmodic sedative
Sage - stimulates the lymph, increases circulation
St. John’s Wort - restorative tonic for the nervous system

The candle is then lit and the resulting gentle suction and vacuum draws the wax and impurities from the ear and produces a light suction action. This vacuum is caused by the warmed air from the flame and colder air moving through its hollow centre. The movement and compression between the ear canal and the candle chamber generate air flow acting like a chimney. The burning action infuses the herbs and essential oils into a vapour, which is drawn into the auditory canal. This performs a massaging function as well as softening any impurities.

A fire crackling sound may be heard and possibly some gentle popping. The rising air gently massages the ear drum and helps to regulate ear pressure. A small amount of ear wax is also removed during the treatment.

The candles work like a chimney, drawing impurities out. Most are burned away, although some may be found in the candle wax residue or may appear on a cotton bud 24 to 48 hours after treatment. The column of warm air rising in the candle is said to massage the ear drum while pressure in the sinus cavities and ears is equalised. Most deposits evaporate and are carried away through the candle ‘chimney’. None of the candle residue actually goes into the ear.

Who it benefits

Hopi Ear Candles can benefit conditions affecting the head and ears such as sinus congestion, ear noises and excessive earwax. The rising air through the column of the candle and gentle natural movement of the flame serve to gently massage the ear drum. This has an immediate subjective effect of regulating ear pressure. Users often describe a soothing, light sensation in the ear/head area and a general calming, relaxing effect.

It is often used by people with:

Tinnitus
Sinusitis
Glue ear
Hayfever and rhinitis
Excessive ear wax
Colds
Tension headaches
Stress

Many people report an enhanced sense of smell and hearing which might take a few minutes to adjust to. Hopi ear candles should not be used if there is any inflammation or infection in the ear and are not suitable for people who have had recent ear surgery or those with ear grommets or tubes, perforated ear drums or allergies to any of the products in the candle.
