'If you think you're enlightened try spending a week with your family' Ram Dass

This quote always makes me smile. I believe we've chosen our family to be the perfect teachers and never are those lessons more obvious than at family gatherings.

For example if we need to learn to put down boundaries or claim our power then loved ones are likely to test our patterns of over-giving and people-pleasing. If we need to overcome anxiety or over-responsibility we have to learn to detach from other people's stories and be more present to our own needs and desires - to live less in our head where we can generate fear-based imaginings and more in our heart, present to our real emotions.

Below you'll find a brilliant essence for parent child relationships, particularly if you like to jump in to rescue others. And if you want to know what soul lessons are a priority for you right now you can take advantage of the personal essence message bundle offer. There's a free QiGong event where you can replenish your energy and practice your inner smile in eight mindful movements, as well as free livestream healing with the Spirit Doctor team at the College of Psychic Studies.

If there's an empty space at your table this year you could try the free mediumship evening to communicate with those not currently in physical form and there's free sound healing to keep you centred and calm amid the often frenetic build up to the holidays. if you've enjoyed some of the free events and summits this year there's a chance to buy 80% off bundles in time to watch them in the New Year break. There's also a special free three card reading and a video about what's in store in 2024, plus a rare chance for an online masterclass with water expert Veda Austin - highly recommended for essence practitioners, nutritionists, healers and homeopaths. Do watch her video - it's mind-blowing! Finally, if you're an empath, take a look at Judith Orloff's course to help you survive and thrive and there's also a link to watch the solstice streamed live from Stonehenge and an EE update with really generous festive bundles including free hours.

If you're determined to make 2024 a year which is not just 2023 stuck on repeat, please consider coaching. You can email me for a chat to make your mind up.

Have a wonderful festive break. Wherever you are please be kind to yourself. We're all just doing our best.

Physical exhaustion has become an epidemic yet Qigong master Faye Li Yip says gaining agency of our thoughts and emotions through the mindful movements of Qigong can change that, as our minds and hearts tend to dictate what’s going on inside our bodies - including how energised, balanced, and capable we feel.

Master Faye’s free online event on Saturday, December 16, explores how the eight mindful movements of Ba Duan Jin Qigong can help us release the negative emotional and mental energy that has accumulated within us by freeing blocked Qi, our life-force energy. 

During Master Faye’s event, you’ll:

• Be guided through a cascade of healing movements using Ba Duan Jin movement 4: “Gazing Backwards to Prevent Strain and Injuries”
• Learn circular movements to release blocked Qi on the fingers and wrists, and promote energy flow to the far end of the meridians 
• Transfer the movements of your fingers and wrists into the arms and shoulders to unblock the Qi in the arms and shoulders - stimulating the energy pathways in the arms and improving the flexibility of the shoulders
• Deepen the arm and shoulder rotation to open the chest and sternum, releasing and removing negative energy in the heart - and generating new vibrant energy into the sternum
• Expand this chest and sternum movement into the neck area to unblock energy around the neck and shoulders - clearing headaches and brain fog by promoting good energy into the neck
• Discover how to consolidate these techniques into one coherent, simultaneous, and flowing movement - and internalise them with breathing as the key connection between body and mind - to cleanse all the internal organs and their meridian, heal the internal retains, and dissolve emotional stress

'Master Faye is an inspiring teacher, not just because she is incredibly good at what she does, which she is, or because she is so good at describing the inner states we are aiming towards, which she is. She is inspiring because she shares with us the joy of doing Qigong and of inner work in general. She always tells us to have an inner smile, and hers really shines out.' Jane C., United Kingdom

Do you have a difficult relationship with your children or your parents? Are you feeling discouraged or down in the dumps? Does your mind feel foggy? Do you tend to rescue others but find it hard to accept help yourself?

Bright yellow Broom flowers have a wonderfully bright, uplifting, clarifying energy. They illuminate your mind and spirit helping you see things with greater insight and sharpening your perception. If you struggle to focus this essence will help you concentrate. Situations and relationships that were confusing become clear.

Broom's related to the fiery energy of Mars and, as its name suggests, it sweeps away old baggage with the purifying element of fire, allowing you to renew previously difficult connections in a fresh way.

The golden light of Broom forms a protective bubble around you encouraging you to stay in your own field so you're not tempted to caretake others. And as you feel safe inside your own field you can be vulnerable enough to open up and receive the love and nurture you need to thrive.

Physically Broom is particularly helpful for sinus issues.

It’s a tremendous gift to be an empath - but if you haven’t learned to regulate your gifts and set strong boundaries, the energy you absorb from others can lead to depression, anxiety, addiction, and other health concerns.

As an empath myself, I’ve developed many effective strategies to deal with the inherent challenges of exceptional sensitivity, which I use and teach patients. For me to thrive as a psychiatrist and an empath, I need these strategies to work or I’ll go on sensory overload or burn out.

I created The Empath’s Survival Guide Online Course as a companion to my book The Empath’s Survival Guide and as a hands-on resource for learning the essential skills you need to become healthy and empowered in a world that is often coarse, heartless, and disdainful of being sensitive.

I call this course a 'survival guide,' but survival is only the first step. It’s my mission to make sure empaths like you get what they need to survive and thrive. Your gifts are needed so much today.

Empaths and sensitive people are on the forefront of a new way of being for humankind. We empaths have many marvelous traits. We have huge hearts and the instinct to help others in need. We're passionate, caring, creative, in touch with our emotions, and able to see the big picture. We have exceptional attunement to the natural world and a great capacity for spiritual awakening.

I hope you’ll join me on this journey to discover your true power and potential as an empath.

Keep honouring your sensitivities,

Dr Judith Orloff

• Browse the Zenrji shop for bio-scalar enhanced: silver necklace, crystal medallions, bracelets and a pack of two gold facial masks. You can use this crystal guide to find the best medallion or bracelet for your loved one's physical or emotional state. The medallions are more powerful than the bracelets. If you have a health issue the bracelets play an important supporting role.
• Water for Health has Hydrogen Water Mist on special offer, as well as a water filter jug and filter shower head.
• Neal's Yard Organic has many seasonal gifts from small stocking fillers such as Wild Rose Radiance Duo and Dreamy Nights Sleep Duo to more luxurious Frankincense Intense gift packs.

Would you like to communicate with spirit guides and departed loved ones who now reside on the other side of the veil?

According to James Van Praagh, one of the world’s best-known psychic mediums, the most important thing to grasp before you can work with these intuitive abilities is that you are a soul, manifesting in human form.

As you tune in to the loving fabric of your soul, the veil that separates you from the spirit world grows thinner and it’s easier to interact with other souls in non-physical realms.

Join James in a free hour-long event, where he’ll share how your soul has traveled through eons of time, incarnating again and again to experience a variety of life situations that serve to catalyse your soul’s expansion.

In this inspiring online workshop, you’ll:

• Be guided into a trance-like state in James’ “Ground and Center” practice, which helps you welcome in a specific spirit and realize that you can be a conduit for souls that have passed on to the other side
• Start accepting that you’re a soul encased in a physical body - and that you have the ability to interact with other souls who are no longer in their corporeal form
• Discover how, once you’ve tapped into your soul’s natural abilities, such as intuition, you can open your instinctual nature - or your sixth sense - and begin honing your mediumship skills and other psychic practices
• Truly grasp that the soul cannot die, enabling you to both eliminate fear in so many areas of your life and realize that your deceased loved ones really are all around you on a different vibratory level
• Understand that when you bring the loving nature of your soul into your life, your experience in this world is more complete and fulfilling

Whether you want to develop your psychic abilities, enhance your intuition, or help those who are grieving move forward with their lives, James’ profound work can help launch you onto the life-changing path as a medium fully connected to the spirit world with the capacity to use this beautiful gift to assist others on their healing journey.
