Dr Gabrielle Francis - multiple modality healer

Yes, I know I am using the word ‘guru’ – which means teacher.  I have never met any person nevermind  a holistic practitioner who has that number of degrees and qualifications and has travelled so extensively studying in different countries all around the world!  I look forward to the workshops and seminars she will start giving later this year!  It would be an honor to hear her speak and divulge her extensive knowledge.

The interview on KtC Radio with Gabrielle was very interesting, she had some wonderful coaching gems to share with entrepeneurs gorwing their businesses, and spoke about her successes – thngs that workded for her along the way, and the challenges – tidbits of advice of haow she would do things differently and pitfalls to watch out for. We also covered the ‘poverty’ mentality that a lot of the holistic profession have and she talked about how she brought abundance into a her life!. Gabrielle has had an amazing journey – with a businesscalled Backstage Productions providing holistic care for rock stars and the band for y years – bands like the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Bruce Springteen and Red Hot Chillie Peppers to name a few!

I call her a change catalyst and a spiritual entrepeneur, definitely a role model for the industy of alternative and integrated medicine.

New Beginnings! The Journey’s 8 Day Cleanse – Physically and Emotionally.

I just completed the first call with The Journey on what will be 8 daily calls to support 1800 of us around the world to follow their physical and emotional cleanse!  I am a big fan of The Journey as they are doing amazing work world-wide, and am thrilled to have the opportunity to glean their knowledge  and support every day for the next 8 days.  And its FREE!

Tonight (the first call) was given by Skip Lackey who leads the organisation in North America.  We were given a wonderful physical cleanse to follow and he did a lovely inspirational meditation with us.   Each night is led by different members of the organisation who bring uniques skills and love to the calls, I am really looking forward to each one of them.  

As the calls are recorded, it is not too late to join, and catch up.   As I mentioned it is free, so the value is tremendous considering. 

To find out more go to www.thejourney.com  and look for New Beginnings – Cleanse.   

This is a great way to start the New Year and both my husband and I are participating.  Join us!

A Thanksgiving Message to those making a difference.

 

a moment of gratitude

Great Rivers of Gratitude, from James O’Dea

Your body loves gratitude! Not a superficial “oh gee, thanks” but a 
deep, heart-connected appreciation that carries love and acceptance 
from a place of higher consciousness and well-being.

Your body loves it because it washes away the biochemistry of stress 
and insufficiency and replaces it with the alchemy of flow and 
emotional warmth. The resonance from gratefulness warms both the giver 
and receiver; it generates a field of appreciation sometimes referred 
to as limbic resonance. In the field of appreciation, we create a 
healing and reviving antidote to psycho-toxins such as “I don’t have 
time,” “I don’t have enough,” or “I am drained.”

Each trickle of gratitude blesses us with its affirmation that we have 
all we need in consciousness itself to gather our strength and honor 
life. Each stream of gratitude clears out the corrosive toxins of 
stress and anxiety in your body and becomes a gift to yourself and to 
others.

Now visualize great rivers of gratitude coming together as we turn 
collectively to face the hour in which we live. “With all of its sham, 
drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world,” wrote Max 
Ehrmann. Even in the face of war, violence, and severe climate 
imbalance, Christopher Fry declared, “Thank God that our time is now, 
when wrong comes up to meet us everywhere.” We can be grateful that we 
are here in this time of earth challenges with an unquenchable sense of 
hope and with a steadfast belief in our human capacity to heal, to 
renew and even to go beyond what seemed our most persistent 
limitations.

So I say let the gratitude flow. We are ready for the challenges that 
exist now and that lie ahead. Let these great rivers of our deepest 
intention flow towards a polarized and distracted world and cleanse it 
with the power of love. We come from all races, all creeds, all 
socio-political backgrounds with one unifying feeling of gratitude for 
life, for consciousness, and for a new evolutionary path forward. We 
come with gratitude for every being that came before us. We have been 
given an epic moment in the journey of life on earth to bring our 
greatest scientific knowledge together with our deepest spiritual 
insight to change the course of history. If you ever thought you were 
insignificant, consider how you are now needed in this great shift. And 
be grateful that you were given such a role and such a time to live in.

Thank you, thank you for what each one of you does to step up and to 
raise the consciousness of the citizens of this world. Thank you for 
feeding these great rivers, even in the face of wounding and denial. 
Thank you for being you.

My friend Marcia Weider has found the key to one of the secrets of the universe! In time for the Holidays!

Tree reflections

Hi All!

Marcia Wieder, America’s Dream Coach just wrote in her latest Dreamzine the following….

Exhale, Relax & Dream

Sit down and pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea. I have some refreshing and profound news to share with you.

While away on my recent Passion Quest, lo and behold, I discovered what I consider to be one of the great secrets of the universe. Take a deep breath in and here’s the important part. Let it out. Exhale. 

The secret to greater joy and happiness is…to relax. I don’t mean that you need to go away on vacation to relax. You don’t need to get on a plane or even in your car. But you do need to travel to a different state. A state of relaxation. I’m talking about living your life in a greater state of relaxation.

Please do not underestimate the apparent simplicity of this wisdom.

When we’re up tight, worrying, concerned about the past and obsessing about the future, we are tense. Our bodies, brains and cells are all tight, constricted…literally uptight.

As we exhale and relax we actually can return to our more natural state of being, a higher vibration. From this place, we can access greater creativity and wisdom. From here, wisdom is available that isn’t when we’re tied in a knot or walking around as a bundle of nerves. From here we can flow and be in synch with the miracles of life.

And from here, you are connected to the state of divinity within. Our own divine nature is a state of openness that comes from relaxing.

As we relax and lift our burdens (and/or the burdens of others) we literally lighten up. This is what the masters mean when they talk about enlightenment. As we relax, our ego lessens and loosens its grip and what we’re left with is the gift of who we really are. From here, you will find greater clarity and self-confidence.  As we lighten up our body and mind, so do we also lighten our heart and souls.

At a slower pace or a more natural rhythm, life and all of its glory, brilliance and miracles can catch up with you. Relaxing can take us into deeper faith. Faith is the gateway to the unknown and the unknown is the path to the Divine.

So exhale…and relax. See who you are in this altered state of relaxation. Explore how long you can actually stay here. Notice what thoughts and feelings you have from this place and enjoy tranquility.

Notice also, what your ego (and those other parts) have to say. As always, you can hear from them, acknowledge their needs, but remembering that they are simply parts of you and you won’t give them the power to hijack you.

If like me you’ve lived much of your life in doing mode and need to be accomplishing results to feel good about yourself, you may find the practice of relaxing to truly be a state of grace. From here, you will have extra for the people you love and for creating and pursuing new dreams.

So this holiday season, relax.

There is a lot of wisdom in these words!  So remember to take time out for yourself, especially over the holidays, knowing that peace and happiness comes from within.

peacefully yours,

Coach Louise

The Journey with Brandon Bays

We can take responsibility for our emotional and physical healing

We can take responsibility for our emotional and physical healing

My husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to help facilitate The Journey weekend in New Jersey this last weekend.  What really first attracted us to help out was that Brandon herself (the founder) was doing the training!  We had an amazing time.  It reiterated to me how important it is to let everyone know that they can take charge of their own emotional and physical healing in a very powerful way.  The extra big bonus is that if you are on your own spiritual journey, The Journey accelerates it and really creates a beautiful space for your own awakening.  If you are interested in find out more look at www.thejourney.com   The amount of stories I hear of people healing from emotional trauma to diseases that predict death, is amazing.    Especially cancer!   But so many other things too.   We had the opportunity to hang out with Brandon, which was amazing.  She is truly an inspiration.     So I came back exhausted, but really wonderfully reconnected with my soul.   I am now making a commitment to do more of the The Journeys workshops and support the initial weekend, because the effect on people’s lives (as well as my own) is amazing.      I encourage you to check it out for yourself!

MTHFR gene mutation causing high homocysteine levels- link to migraine

 

Hi everyone,

I have been doing some research recently on the gene mutuation MTHFR – I have the double strand issue which effects homocysteine levels.  It stops the folic acid from converting properly, so that the homocysteine cannot become methionine – an amino acid.  This has effect on so many different things.  I found out about the gene mutations because of fertility treatment and a miscarriage.  I was tested after my miscarriage and found that this particular mutation particularly when it is double stranded, can cause miscarriage, because the foetus isn’t getting the benefit of the folic acid.   I have since learnt there is more risk for thrombosis, heart disease, and stroke – and even brain fog or lack of concentration.   As it effects clotting issues in the blood, and has vascular implications, I realised that this could also be connected to my being a migraineur!   After all they deam a migraine to be a type of mini -stroke…  A light bulb moment.  As it turns out, after reading a couple of articles where some research has been done, it seems that there is a good possibility that migraineurs, those particularly with aura, are effected by the gene mutation.  So I am wondering why more neurologists are not testing for this gene….?    I am putting it out there.    I feel grateful that this could be a simple explanation for what has been a huge issue for me for many years, and effects the quality of my life dramatically.    There is a simple treatment, which should be managed by your physician and consists of folic acid, B12 and B6 – which helps to lower the homocysteine levels.   If this is pertinent to you, I hope this is helpful.  I am not an expert, but I am becoming one in my own health!   If this is an opportunity to take responsibility for your health and wellbeing if you have any signs …miscarriage, migraines, etc - grab it, and get your homocysteine levels checked, or get tested for the MTHFR gene mutation. 

with your wellbeing in mind,

Coach Louise

PS  I have a detailed tutorial on my www.lifebalanceinfertilitycoach.wordpress.com  site on MTHFR if you want to know a little more about it!

Invisible Illness Week

I couldn’t let this week go by without creating more awareness around Invisible Illness Week which is this

Invisible Illness Week

Invisible Illness Week

week!

I am a migraineur – diagnosed with cluster headaches/ occular migraine,  and I truly do know what its like to live with chronic pain.  I also know what it is like to live with something that isn’t always visible to others, and dealing with the fallout from that.  With friends and work.   I have realised that primarily it is important to educate others (they don’t know what you’re going through)  and be kind and compassionate to yourself (it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks).  Support yourself the best way you know how – if it means saying ‘no’ to be able to ‘yes’ to yourself then that is the appropriate choice.   (I had a great interview on this subject on my radio show a couple of weeks ago with Christine Clifton, ‘Become an Energy Magnet’  -see link to show on side of page)

So I want to support and acknowledge all practitioners who support people in chronic pain – and let all of you with ‘invisible illnesses’ know how much I support and admire your courage and resolve in your lives.  Take care of yourselves.

Warmly,

Coach Louise Crooks

Hi all holistic practitioners and coaches!                           

Watch this space!  I will be having a show focusing on the different marketing principles of how to get clients!  This will be on Monday the 8th September at 7pm EST.

I noticed when I was attending a networking group comprised mainly of holistic practitioners and coaches – that the biggest issue for them was around marketing and how to get clients!   This is a combination the coaching aspect – getting past your own fears or blocks, but also have the basic principles of getting out there in the right way and speaking to the right people.  This will be an exciting opportunity to grow your business especially what can be seen as a shaky economic climate.  I am hoping to have someone to interview on this topic – TBA!    Looking forward to meeting you on the air!   (See link for radio show on side of page)   Don’t forget that if you can’t listen live, then click on the same link and listen to the archived podcasts of this or previous shows – a mine of information!

On a mission!
