A Creative & Spiritual Journey

I've just spent an amazing and inspiring weekend in London, a weekend full of joy, tears, release, creativity and spiritual connection. I'm still feeling extremely emotional now, but in a good way, like i've let go of so many negative and limiting thoughts and embraced a future of endless possibilities.

First of all, on Friday afternoon, I did some sightseeing around London, checking out some of the famous landmarks such as Big Ben, the London Eye, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace.

I had lunch at my favourite raw, vegan cafe, which was raw pizza followed by raw chocolate cheesecake.

And even managed to find some nature in the heart of London.

Then it was onto London Jewellery School for a class in making cocktail rings. I had a lovely 3 hours being creative, trying out different beads and colours and chatting to the others in the class. It was a lovely evening and these are the rings I made.

On Saturday morning I woke up early to get ready for my course - Soul Coaching Oracle Card Reading Certification with Denise Linn. I set off early and walked along the Thames, watching the sun rising over the London Eye. It was a beautiful and peaceful morning, and I felt very calm and grateful to have this opportunity. 

I arrived at my course a little early and chatted to some of the others who were there. I was very excited, and couldn't wait to listen to Denise, after reading her books for years. I knew it was going to be a very special two days, although I don't think I realized quite how amazing it was going to be.

Over the weekend we learnt about oracle cards and readings, creating sacred space, feng shui and much more. We were each given a set of oracle cards and we practiced readings on each other which was lovely, and emotional at times. 

We also did guided visualizations, meditation, chanting and a vision circle. They were all extremely powerful and emotional. For me, the most intense visualization was the past life regression. This isn't really something that i'd thought about too much, but was happy to give it a try. Within a couple of minutes I was in floods of tears and didn't stop crying until about 10 minutes after we'd finished. I can't even describe how amazing the feeling of letting go, releasing and finally believing is. 

Past life regression means to go back to a past life and uncover anything from that time which could be affecting your life now. Obviously it isn't guaranteed to be true, but it feels so real that it really doesn't matter. Denise guided us through the vizualization, with sounds and music in the background. As she talked about nature, she had nature sounds such as thunder, rain etc, sometimes calming music and other times very loud music, which all fit in perfectly with what she was saying. 

As I went back to my past life, I was a healer in Africa,  a really good healer and I lived to a very old age. It was all so real and so clear, and what made it even more profound for me was that when I began visualizing Africa, music from the Lion King came on. I've taken from that, that i'm definitely meant to be a healer now too. Whether that's with reiki, crystals, coaching, aromatherapy, herbs, nutrition or oracle cards, my dream is to make a difference. (Or maybe i'm meant to work with lions?)

Taking part in a vision circle was also extremely powerful and you could feel so much energy and love from the others in the circle. I met some amazing people who were so supportive and kind, and that made it even more special.

It was certainly a weekend that i'll never forget and will always be a very special part of my journey!
