RIP Misty

I feel the need tonight to give my wonderful dog the send off she so deserves. Misty was my Spaniel / labrador who had been in my life for all of her 12 years. She was so special and a great gift to me.

I remember going to the Edinburgh cat and Dog home and seeing a litter of puppies. All were short haired apart from one long haired pup that I fell in love with. I asked if I could pay for her and then nip out to buy something to transport her in the car to get home. I know it would not happen now but I was told to put her on the floor at the passenger side of my car. Imagine driving home with this 6 week pup trying to climb over my gearstick! I then got home, placed her in a laundry basket and drove to the pet shop.

Misty was brought up with children of all ages (as I childminded) and loved them. Two of my parents at the time said she was their adopted family dog too as they thought it wonderful to have their babies grow up with a dog. I often had to control her in the park until I made sure the children or their parents were not afraid of dogs as she loved everyone so much. She had the gentlest temperament that everyone loved especially me. I would get so many cuddles from her when I came home from work.

They say having an animal to stroke de stresses you and I totally agree with that. I will miss being able to do that. Misty only became nervous with firework bangs but I found Reiki helped her relax that she would  snore right through them.

I truly believe that Misty saw things that others could not. She would often stare into a point in the room- usually up high and could not be distracted. I have photos taken by a friend of Orbs around her. I think she was a very spiritual dog.

Last weekend she was staying with my Daughter when we found she had a problem. I arranged a visit to the vet on Monday thinking it was nothing serious. After a couple of tests I took her for a scan on Wednesday when they discovered a large tumour. After speaking to the vet last night it was decided not to operate and I was to take her on Monday to leave this earth. Things deteriorated today and it was decided to bring it forward. I give thanks that my Daughter was able to do this for me and she advised me it was instantaneous and Misty was very relaxed. The vet also advised it was obvious the tumour had spread. My 4 year old Granddaughter wanted to have super powers to save her but I think all the cuddles Misty received were powerful enough.

I am feeling sad tonight but I feel happy at all the wonderful times my companion gave me. I am pleased that although the tumour has been growing for some time neither I or Misty was aware of it and that she will not need to go through anything now.

Tonight she will be with all the Spirits that she has been looking at from down here. We are all made of energy and I am sure we will still be connected. May you rest in peace Misty. Thank you for being a great friend.

Spiritual Weekend


Spiritual Weekend



I have just returned from a memorable weekend. It was the first time ever I have gone on a spiritual weekend and did not have any expectations of what would happen. To say I was blown away would have to be an understatement! 

I am a member of a social group called SPICE. They organise events across the country every day of the year and this was one of their weekends. It was a well chosen hotel known for ghosts which Lauren felt as soon as we walked in the door so well researched by Spice. It was hosted by a wonderful Psychic Medium called Lauren Robertson who I highly recommend. She is a girl after my own heart who is so positive and full of wonderful gifts which she was then able to share with the group.

The weekend was packed with learning new skills that included Angel and Tarot cards and using our intuition. Lauren also gave us a talk on Dream Analysis which showed how many dreams are so common and interpreted them for us. It also included a few of us for the first time allowing Spirit to communicate with us and allowing us to pass on messages to others in the room. I had no intention of taking part in the last event although I was to get a surprise. When she asked who wanted to stand up I found myself rising from my chair and walking forward. I can only say it felt as if someone was guiding me and telling me it was now my turn. I was then able to pass a message on to somebody and so were the others that had taken part in this. This was mind blowing - to find that we can all connect with Spirit if we wish to.

During the weekend it was great to be with likeminded people who were all at different periods in their life where this subject was concerned but we all came together and had many precious discussions about what we were seeing and learning in our workshops. We found that amongst us we had so many suggestions for books to read that Lauren is compiling a list including ours for us. This will keep us busy for a while!

One thing about Spice weekends though is the amount of fun that can be had and it came to a head this morning with one of our group who had us all rolling with laughter at the breakfast table. I think he missed his calling. I suggested he appear in the Edinburgh Festival as a comedien.

One thing we should all remember is that life does not stand still. We can all learn things on a daily basis. This was my week for learning more about using senses that I had been unaware of and meeting new friends. Imagine going away with a group of strangers and interacting with  them as we were all learning together. It was awesome!

Next weekend I will be taking my Karuna Reiki traning. I am looking forward to it so much- always learning and growing!

WINTER OFFER

When I was first told about the Sun Ancon Chi Machine I researched over my local area to see if there was anywhere I could go to try one out.  The answer was "no" so this left me with the option of ordering one and using the 14 day trial to see if it suited me. I have never looked back since I put through my order but I remember thinking it would have been great to try one without paying for the postage at that time.

Since getting my own Sun Ancon Chi machine a few years ago I decided that I would let people come to me to see if it can help them. Many people have then gone on to order their own from me. I remember an elderly lady with severe arthritis having difficulty lying down when she arrived. It seemed a lot easier for her to get up after the Chi machine trial. A couple of hours later she called me to order one saying that she had struggled walking to my house from the bus stop but felt like skipping on her way to get the bus back home again! This was not a one off result either.

 I use the Chi machine in therapy sessions also and have taken them into corporate businesses where the staff have felt relaxed and de stressed  after use therefore making them a happier workforce. I often think busy workplaces should have a Sun Ancon chi machine permanently in place so the staff can use it when they get stressed or have headaches developing. If I use mine as a headache is developing I can get rid of it without taking any medication.

I know from both personal and professional experience what this little machine can do to help others and want to let more people have the opportunity to try one out so I have decided from now until the end of December I will be willing to take a chi machine to visit  anyone in Edinburgh who through ill health cannot visit me.  There will be a charge of £20 for this service but if they then decide to purchase a  chi machine I will refund them £20.  If you know anyone that would be interested in me visiting them you can contact me through my website and quote Winter Offer.


For anyone outside of Edinburgh they can order a Sun Ancon Chi Machine through my website until the 31st December 2012 and if they quote Winter Offer  I will also refund them £20.

Past and present thoughts

I am pleased to say that hopefully this week I will have back the DVDs to show how children can use the Sun Ancon Chi machine. I had a problem that I could not upload them to my computer from the camcorder so now a shop will be doing this for me. I will be uploading them onto my facebook page here.  Please feel free to like it so you will get an update when I post them.

As I have decided to get a new camcorder I thought I had better look out all the tapes that I had and get them converted to DVD at the same time. I came across a couple that put a smile on my face. One was my friends wedding and another was a Caribbean holiday that I had with my daughter many years ago. Another one was a friend with Sciatica on the Sun Ancon Chi machine telling me as it was helping him so he should be using it more.  The thought of taking a duck to water came into my mind when I heard this!It's amazing what we record and then forget about so I'm looking forward to watching them on my computer when I get them back.

Life for me this month is moving so fast that I decided today would be my day for time out as we all need that. I have so far been for a walk in the park watching all the trees change colour and saw that the little signets I saw at the beginning of summer have all grown up to be almost the same size as the adults. I'm glad our children do not grow that fast. At least the swans do not have to clothe their young.

I will have a little work related event today when someone comes to see if the Chi machine can help them but that never feels like work to me. I just love being able to put a smile on people's face when they find there is help out their for chronic conditions.

Whatever you are doing today I hope it is enjoyable. If you are unable to have time out for yourself  today then make sure you have it another day during the week. It does not have to be a full day- it may even just be a couple of hours but it is important for your health and well being.

Autumn has arrived or is it winter?


Autumn is here. All around the leaves are changing colour and falling from the trees. How does this make you feel? Do you want to hibernate until springtime and get cosy by the fireplace? Or do you continue with life outside the home getting enjoyment out of the season?

 I love all seasons, from the spring with all the bulbs popping up, to the summer when everything grows quickly, the autumn when there is suddenly lots of beautiful colours as the leaves change and the winter when it gets darker earlier and you just want to be a homebody. Perhaps all you can think of are cold and snow, rain,slipping on leaves as they fall and more grass cutting than before. If this is you then you are missing out on a lot of life.

 I realised that I now need to take a torch with me when walking my dog Misty this morning. Tomorrow I will be looking out her collar with lights attached. This to me means we are moving from Autumn into Winter. One of my friends even had to defrost her car this morning. This is the time to make sure your cars are serviced and your heating works.






As it gets darker I do not exercise with the dog as much as the rest of the year but she is happier to stay out of the rain and cold especially as she has arthritis now.  For me I increase the time I spend on the Sun Ancon Chi machine. Fifteen minutes on the Chi Machine is equivalent to 90 minutes of walking exercise in terms of oxygenation of the blood. Research has also shown that when you swing on the Chi machine for 15 minutes, it can produce the same effect as walking 10,000 steps. It actually makes the body consume the equivalent amount of calorie burning oxygen during one and one half-hour’s of walking. It's a shame my dog cannot use the Chi machine as it's good for arthritis too! You can find out more about the Sun Ancon here.
