News an no news

 

Seasons Greetings everyone. I do apologies for not having updated the blog in such an age, but there has been no news much to relate and we are hoping 2022 will bring better times. I am convinced when the year of the tiger comes roaring in it will send the virus packing. 

We still haven’t got any workshops planned? but are continuing our Whats App group until such can be attained, but  we will continue this group even after things return to being less somewhat chaotic. 

It has made us even more aware with so many churches closing how much a sanctuary is needed as there are so many lonely people in the world who under these present circumstances have been totally isolated. As lots of their friends are safe guarding themselves, but some are completely alone. We would like to establish a sanctuary where there is a cafe they could come and met other people to make friend plus being able to buy an inexpensive nourishing meal. We would also like it to form some kind of club for them so as a couple of times during the year probably Yuletide and Easter make sure they had some kind of goodie bag plus something special for their birthdays.

We would like to run a combination of workshops which would include one of our others passions crafts. So many of the old crafts were dying and the one thing this pandemic has done is reintroduce these. So many are now knitting and crocheting. I am devising a mindfulness workshop where a craft can be taught plus being mindful into the bargain. 

We have been continuing with our peace campaign by knitting hearts, worry worms and worry worm bookmarks and leaving them around as well as sending some to people on Facebook who are members of our support group as well as sending boxes of them to various friends so they can distribute them in their areas. 

We have decided what we need is a sponsor who has the same ideas as us “make peace a reality. Well we can dream can’t we and sometimes dreams become realities.Keep safe and we hope you receive many blessings in 2022. 

Support and Book Worms

I have got to say at the present moment I do not see us being able to teach in person for some while if not forever. Sadly it looks as if the viruses have sway. 

I am feeling my best move forward is to keep running out Whats App group  until we can establish some place of our own to teach permanently. We keep being promised such, but at the moment no indication (sadly). On the other hand we have managed to establish a pretty good group who are supporting each other during these weird chaotic times. Interesting part is some of the people spirit have guided to us and we haven’t even met but they fit in on the group perfectly. 

At the moment I am happier with knitting random acts of kindness for our group on Facebook “ Rainbow Healing Sanctuary Hearts for the love of Peace”. We have added to the hearts with worry worms and worry worm bookmarks. 

One person who was pleased to receive our happy mail was Lucya Starza who writes an excellent blog and gives list of both physical and online events taking place. Do take a look at it (http://www.badwitch.co.uk). Hopefully we will have more happy post going out this week.  The above Halloween book marks was sent to Carol Winmill. 

I do hope to have more interesting news in our next post. Although I don’t think we will get any rest bite from this until next year when the year of the tiger roared in. I am convinced this song wrote on the last year of the tiger was a prediction. Google it Tigers Eye by Julie Felix . I will be interested in comments from other people in posts below. 

 

Long overdue

I had  really hoped I would be able to make an announcement regarding a workshop or circle, but no way and with the weather forecast the way it is I am afraid this Winter is not looking good. I do think the idea of snow for Halloween is a bit bizarre. I do hope it isn’t the case. 

Well I certainly have no idea when we will be teaching again. Everything is totally crazy and although I am doing the bookings I feel I can’t really book myself in straight away. In fairness I will have to give priority to other mediums who have been teaching at the church previously (some for many years). 

We will be continuing with our peace campaign which is only an extension of what has always work been my main direction in life ever since I was a teenager. At one time I would have marched, but now feel the only way forward is to send out love to the world and  in my case at the moment random acts of kindness (at the moment heart key rings, worry worms and worry worm bookmarks). I am awaiting some patterns for halloween  goodies such as pumpkins, ghosts and witches. I have seen a nice little egg cosy pattern. It’s great now as we have some other people joining us sending out love, light and peace to the world as well as hearts or something nice.  

Hopefully we will have better news in the future. I would have liked to say in my next post, but it’s vey unlikely. Meanwhile we will continue with the groups on Whats Apo. At least lots of healing going out with some amazing results.

Meanwhile keep safe all and keep away from all these wretched bugs going the rounds.

Adios Barbara we wiil miss you

 

We have had some very sad news this month. Our friend Barbara Barnes passed peacefully in her sleep. She used to run the “Island of Light” on the Isle of Dogs. A true EastEnder and she was actually one of tho people feature in the Channel 4 programme “The Real Eastenders” 

along with her lovely great grandson Brendan. Quite a character and what you saw was what you got. If she was your friend great but she didn’t take prisoners. We will really miss her as will many people (seen here at the Island of Light with Alan Albiston who I hasten to add is an excellent medium a true worker for the spirit world). Unfortunately we won’t be able  to get to the funeral as we must self- isolate due to my brothers pending cataract operation. 

Just to let those of you know who knew Barbara the funeral is on the 22nd of September. Ot will start from her flat at 1 pm and go to the East London Cemetery  2 pm at Canning Town. Anyone is welcome to go

We still don’t know when we will be able to get our circles or workshops up and running again 

Problems around this seem to go on and on. It seems it will be more than likely next year now. Our forum will continue for the moment. It does make me wonder if we ever will ever be able to teach again.

 

Where to next

We really don’t know when we will be able to run workshops again, but by the look of it not in the near future sadly. We have two new workshops in mind into the bargain. What we really need is our own centre which would not only be a spiritual sanctuary, but a place foe lonely people to come together to met people and make friends. We also want a healing sanctuary for both humans and animals. We have so many  ideas but no money, sponsor or way of fund raising. If anyone has any ideas regarding such please email me on yourcreativeself@outlook.com

I have continued to make hearts and now worry worms as random acts of kindness in these continual chaotic times. I know from emails I have received they have been found just at the right times. Including one delightful pictures of a waitress holding a heart with a big grin on her face. 

On that subject Lora from Crojo Corner came up with  a brilliant idea of worry worms for the homeless and I participated. Glad they have arrived as I was getting worried with all the restrictions due to the virus. https://youtu.be/VZ9mLI-MR30

The Whats App group is thriving and it was decided that the group would continue even after so called “Freedom Day”. Unless things change drastically this will continue. In fact for some people it’s been there only way to develop as there is nothing in their area or what is does not appeal to them. 

Please all of you keep safe and thank you south gpr supporting our group. Please join us on Facebook with our group “Rainbow Healing Sanctuary hearts for the love of peace. Look out for worry worms or hearts in your locality. We now have a lovely l lady painting wee wooden hearts 

Here we go again

Well let’s see what happens next. I am just wondering whether we will ever get back to groups and circles in person. Sadly I am wondering whether we will ever be able to teach in person again. At the moment our Whats App Group is thriving and the support everyone’s giving to each other is heart warming. Woodford Church is opening again if things go as planned and Alan Albiston will be taking the first Monday service which is the 2nd of August  and Bruce Bayley the 9th August which is a Sunday. 

I am now knitting worry worms and worry worm bookmarks (there are massive of patterns on u tube and they are easy to do). Anyone who wants to join me is very welcome to and we are hoping to have a download for both the hearts and the worms to go with them at a later date. I am quite willing to make either but I will be asking a donation to cover cost of posting as it mounts up and a lovely lady donated a good few stamps to the cause, but they are running out and on top of that there are the ones we are paying for.

I did however decide to treat myself to two wonderful bag for my knitting plus rolls for both my needles and my crochet hooks not to mention two sewing kits. See photographs at the end of this post. Her work is beautiful abs it’s really cheered up my week. 

We are also researching reasonably priced venues for a retreat once this chaos and mayhem are over. As soon as it gets sorted the group will be the first to know plus those who read our blog 

 https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/knittingbagsbychri

What next that’s my question

 

Well let’s see where we go from here. People seem to be thinking it’s ok to go without masks. Judging by what I have seen on social media. I just wonder what will happen next. It seems even if you have had the vaccine you aren’t safe if what the media is telling us is true. I am totally mystified by exactly what is going on.

At least we know our hearts are doing a wee bit of good as well as sending love and peace into the world. 

I just wonder if we will ever teach again as at the moment I don’t even want to travel on public transport. We are however planning on going to see Alan Albiston on the 2nd August at Woodford and Bruce Bayley on the 9th August as long as plans to open Woodford go ahead. It seems one doesn’t know from one moment to another what will happen next. Quite sad as I have lots of new workshops in mind. I can’t see us teaching in a mask nor taking a service that I must admits I am not impressed with Zoom either as it seems to have lots of technical issues. If we had some mode of transport other tram public transport if would be a blessing. 

. 

For those of you who missed Paul Bathgate broadcast here is the link http://bit.ly/3vRX4so

I will keep you all updated on developments. The one thing we are pleased about is our Whats App group is thriving and  the support they have been giving each other is magnificent and magical. 

Into the unknown

Well it pictures like I see on here which really cheer me up and put smiles on faces. A light in the gloom and a give a small glimpse to peace. I am so pleased Joanne and Beth captured the look on her face. 

We still have no idea when we will be able to physically teach again. We really do need to not only move locations, but to have a permanent venue where we could not only teach meditation, spiritual awareness and also crafts. We need a space of our own and  we have been asking the universe for such a long while. We know at least the direction we would like to go in and that is towards Hertfordshire. We also need to see the green and not be surrounded by just by the brick buildings, which surround us now.

oI have lots of new workshops which will not only be a learning curve, but also somethings to relax and take away the stress of modern life. 

This coming weekend our dear friend Alan Albiston will be serving Brentwood Church (not zoom), but a physical service. You will have to check with church regarding places and rules as I believe there is still no singing allowed plus masks, but do check. 

Meanwhile please all keep safe and stay dry or should I be saying stay out of the sun. The weather gods certainly are giving us a variety of choice. So far no snow. 

Hearts for the world

 

Well this week has suddenly become quite interesting or it could be that lockdown has suddenly had an affect on me.

As many of you know we have for some while been inflicted by very noisy neighbours, which includes drilling Ito the late hours of the evening. It’s been driving me mad, but Daniel who is normally very placid nearly lost his rag. We had a long discussion and suddenly realise that the noise is effecting our solar plexus. We are now looking for a way to combat this. Any suggestions put in box below. 

On Tuesday I had to go and get my legs measured for a new pair of stockings to help with my odema. I have a cab card and we are at the moment avoiding public transport when possible. The cab driver who when he rung through sounded a wee  bit grumpy (I later realised he was just sad). 

Once we got in the cab I started talking to him and somehow got on to the subject of age and that very morning spirit had indicated I had to take hearts with me as there was someone who needed one. To cut a long story short it turned out that he had a son who died 27 years ago aged 16 from an embolism on guess when May 31st (same day as my birthday). When I gave him the heart he was so pleased (understand statement - elated might describe it better way to describe it). Just shows if you trust spirit and your own intuition things can happen and  amazing coincidences such as  this can happen. All I can say is he made my day.. I certainly thanked spirit for the inspiration and I am getting some of my friends to do the same. Going to send them in the post like first one pictures above.  Basically giving them to people was  Alan Albiston’s idea. Do we will be doing both now. 

We really do need a way of establishing our own sanctuary with all the right things in place and Daniel’s idea of what we would manifest is a place to be where we are happy and contented cool in the Summer and warm in the Winter with a place for everything and everything in its place. 

A spiritual centre adaptable for whatever conditions arise (pandemic, floods etc.,that draws people of the same ethos as ourselves (both teachers and students) together with a business acumen  (within the constraints of our ethos) to make it Driving lessons with an easy pass plus an affordable reliable car and enough to maintain. A “Heinz 57” dog suitable for aging friends plus health conditions which can be treated easily where possible with complementary natural medicines or therapies. 

Good transport links with sufficiently affordable accommodation in the area for people to attend (including partners where necessary who may not necessarily want to join the courses). Also that we be on good terms with our close neighbours and those in the surrounding area.

When will we be out of lockdown

 

Well it certainly looks as if we are going into lockdown again. Although I do think there is a lot of fear mongering in the media. My main concern is Mother Earth and how much damage has been done to the planet, the animal I and plant kingdom. I am really so proud of the group and the support they have given one another, but I can’t help but wonder how many are there without support or are desperately lonely. It just shows me how much need there is for a sanctuary and a met up place plus so many ideas which we would like to bring to It would be nice if everyone behaved like this. The one thing I have learnt from this pandemic is there are lots of selfish, self centre people in the world, but amongst them are some diamonds such as members of our group. It seems to bring to the forefront both. We are now putting in an extra effort to manifest this. If anyone has any ideas how we could get sponsorship please let us know. Either by putting a message in the box below or emailing yourcreativeself@outlook.com.  

In the next post I will be elaborating on our ideas for the sanctuary as Daniel has lots of ideas he wishes to incorporate into it. 

We are continuing putting out our peace hearts and Alan Albiston had a splendid idea, which is keeping on on your person and when you a drawn to someone you give give it to them. Receptionist at doctors etc, van drivers and postman are amongst the people we have given them too and the majority are really so pleased. 

We have not idea when we will be facilitating a workshop, but as soon as we know so will you. Meanwhile enjoy the sun and stay safe

News and no news

When Will It End

Well at the moment I can’t see us being able to book a venue to do workshops. Unfortunately even if we can we will possibly have to raise the price slightly. No doubt social distancing rules will stay in place for a wee while yet. We will keep you informed as soon as the situation changes. 

I have been busy knitting Easter Surprises and slowly sending them out as some of you will no doubt have discovered when your postman came. I do feel everyone needs cheering up at the moment. Moreover you enjoyed the contents. 

We will go on running the Whats App group, which seems to be growing. I am so happy at the growth there had been on the group as a whole as I know a lot of you have been extremely stressed. Especially those without social physical contact. 

I would also like to highly recommend some workshops which are taking place on the 20/21st of April “Loving Myself More Fully” and the   27/28th of April “Soaring Into Our Bright Future” both are with Daniel Mapel who some of you know is responsible for the animal essences. Those those of you who don’t know these amazing essences are made without a single animal being hurt. Here is the link to the full details. 

https://www.animalessence.com/april-2021-workshops.html

He is also doing a free webinar for Healthlines on the 13th April at 18.00 which lasts an hour. Please contact  them for details http://www.healthlines.co.uk (Adam or Angie)

As I said previously we will  continue with our Whats App group until this chaos and mayhem finishes. Pleaser continue to support one another as this to many has been a blessing. 

More news soon. Keep safe and Rainbow Blessings to all. 

Lockdown Syndrome

Firstly I must apologise for not  updating the blog before this. In honesty there wasn’t really much news to impart. The best thing is the group is really going great guns and there have been several very inspirational pictures from various members of the group. The two I will share today are from Bruce Bayley and Diana Samuels  (fish to me mean abundance. Hopefully lots  coming everyone way, but more important a new mode of transport for Diana). There has also been some wonderful inspirational pieces some of which I am sharing with you as well as some lovely spirit art.

Here is one of the pieces written and inspired by spirit from Alan Albiston 

“Let love be your guide  strive to cultivate inner peace recognize the great gift of friendship learn the lessons of trust and always aim for the truth these are key to building a strong spiritual foundation” 

Another one from Sandra Cook 

“Help people by healing

Trying to be understanding

Give positive time and attention 

Being patient when required

Helping others to fulfil their dreams”

Sadly after lockdown unless we can get our own place to teach it is becoming more obvious that we will have to stop. Firstly it will be sometime before workshops and circles will be allowed again. Number will be very limited I think. Plus how can one run a workshop with masks on ? If magically we found somewhere in the green we could establish a teaching centre. We would jump at it. It is now up to spirit as I feel we have more than made an effort to achieve this. It seems if you charge large sums of money and also do a lot on the psychic level you get established really quickly. 

Can I ask you all to light a candle on Monday evening  at 6 pm to honour the memory of  Julie Felix who made her transition to the spirit world a year ago.

A Little Act of Kindness

It had been a very strange week. Totally crazy as it seems the only thing people want to talk about is the vaccine. Lots of people see it as their road  to lockdown freedom, but who can be sure. As for myself I know vertigo and masks are not the road to safety for me. I have made one discovery a homeopathic remedy from “Helios” called trauma mix which drew out some of my bruises in under 24 hours. I was very impressed. 

The highlight of my week was a box I received. See picture I was going to take another one, but the light today is so bad it seemed silly.Thank you Carol (we miss you on the group) and Sandra they are special. We love them. 

We are so proud of the group with the unity and support they have given each other, but also the spiritual progress they have made. Kindness abounds with each and  everyone of them. On that subject who wants to join me on a quest to make someone day. Let’s say at the moment a person you don’t know such a particular person who put themselves out to help you with a problem such as a medical issue etc. I has my week made with the little guys above. I sent several  people hearts I had knitted and I had one delightful email plus two telephone calls from people who were delight. So small acts of kindness can lift people’s spirits and we all need this at them at the moment. This morning a lovely surprise in the post via Elsie bless you as I was just running out. 

I am now focusing on our retreat. This will come about once we are out of lockdown giving everyone something to look forward to. We must all be grateful we are still here as many have seen loved one pass through the veil. One of these being Carol who we all miss (for those of you who don’t know Carol’s mum passed with COVID and Carol herself had it pretty badly). Please put in the box below the kind of workshop which would interest you. Comment I’m the comment part of this blog as Tracey did last time. Until my next post keep safe and well. 

Where to next .

I am very proud of students in our recent spirit art exercises and we are completely committed to keeping up our Whats App Group going even after lockdown (although it will be once a week as if we are going back to normal teaching. It would be too tiring). If we could only start our own sanctuary with what is at our fingertips and the other on our group it would be beneficial to so many.

The idea of a cheap drop in cafe is still upmost in our minds as so many people are isolated. It is something which has really shown during this pandemic. People are feeling isolated now, but let’s think there are those that are like this all the time l. It’s so sad.

I am also going to trying to uplift two people at least each week by a wee act of kindness or thoughtfulness. I sent put some hearts to some people within the medical staff who had put themselves out to help me. Last week I received a lovely email and this week two telephone calls from people who were so happy to receive them 

I have also unfortunately had another catastrophe while wearing a mask with vertigo. So no more going out after dark when I can’t see properly. It’s a struggle for me anyway with vertigo . Ended up coming out if the hospital after an appointment knocking my leg and bumping my head as inalienable ok a blood thinner had to have it checked out. Two hospitals plus many hours later got back home. Those poor nurses looked shattered doing triage, cleaning seats plus servicing refreshments. They deserve a holiday plus a huge pay rise. So does anyone working during this time in the public sector. 

As you can see I have added some of the spirit art produced by the group, which I think are amazing. More to come later this week I hope. Lastly a picture of hearts which are going out this week. Meanwhile please all of you keep safe and remember whatever your views we are all in this together. 

 

Look forward to 2021

Well that wasn’t a very good start to the New Year. Unfortunately wearing a mask with vertigo is not sensible in one way, but safe in another. I came out of the chiropodist the pavements were very wet I didn’t see where I was going and went smack down on my head. My fingers now are very bruised so I’m writing this blog by dictating it into my messages then copying and pasting it. It seems to be working fairly well and I’ve also sent a couple of text that way.

Now getting back to the topic of our blog today positivity let’s be positive that we are now moving into the age of Aquarius and things will get better. Maybe not quite yet but in the near future. Meanwhile we will continue with our WhatsApp group. At the moment there is so much stress. Especially for those in lockdown as well as those brave key staff not only the members of the NHS bless them but the shop staff, the postman, the bus and train drivers etc. I would like to recommend an aid which I have found invaluable during this time that is essences on  not only the Bach Flower and Bush Flower, but the animals essences formulated by Daniel Mapel. I might add no animals are harmed in this process (https://www.animalessence.com/excerpt-book.html). The essences themselves can be purchased www;healthlines.co.uk or (https://www.animalessence.com/). The picture of the lovely canine above is the resident therapist at Daniel’s home in the Blue Mountains. She is in my opinion adorable.. 

Both Daniel and I are hoping to become practitioners at some point in the future. We had been booked on a course with Daniel until this wretched virus stopped us all in our tracks. We look forward to doing this in the future. 

Unfortunately I think we will be in lockdown until at least March so we will carry on with our Whats App group whom we are so proud of. It’s wonderful how they support each other. We are also getting lots of different ideas for the sanctuary from the group all we need to do now is manifest it. Firstly we must move north of the Thames. 

A New Beginning 2021

Well Christmas is now come to an end and sadly we are all locked in. This is my idea of looking forward and as lots of you know we have been trying for many moons to start our own sanctuary and we are now putting it up to the universe to help plus you guys too. Firstly I would like to ask you guys if you were visiting a retreat or sanctuary what would you like to find there ? Now these are the things we would like 

a) A place to teach and impart knowledge.

b) A healing centre for both animals and humans

c) A creative play area for children.

d) A cafe which would be run as a meet up place for the lonely 

e) A craft shop

f) An esoteric shop

g) A book shop 

h) A library 

i) A goddess temple 

Any other ideas ?? 

We will be setting up an idea for fund raising etc on Whats App please message me if you would like to help in this project? 

We think this is the right time for us  to ask for help to bring this to fruition. Some ideas about publicising it as we aren’t good at publicising ourselves. Easier to promote others. we are going  to form a group similar to our Whats App group so we can compile a list of ideas good fund raising, promotions or other ideas people want go through in the mix. 

We wish we could see us being able to hold workshops soon, but it is going to be at least March to May before this is possible. Meanwhile Whats App is going from strength to strength.

The little fir tree eventually will get planted  and will be dedicated to a beautiful soul in spirit - we will name it the Felix Fir (nicked the idea from Trevor Tapscott.

Another spot of kindness I need to mention is a lovely lady called Sandra at the Downham Foot  Clinic who not only sorted out mine and Daniel’s foot appointment, but my brothers too. A heart will be delivered when we go there. 

Lastly I would like to say sorry to anyone I have upset or hurt and equally I totally forgive anyone who has hurt me. 

I have also added a picture of some of Daniel’s birthday presents as it’s also his birthday. 

Have a magical 2021 and keep safe 💚

Welcome 2021

We hope everyone in keeping safe and enjoyed whatever way you were celebrating. Can’t say we did anything exciting save keeping safe. We did however take trip to pick up Daniel new glasses. On that note there are a few people I would like to thank for their help over the last 9 months. London Eye Clinic at 50 London Road Forest Hill SE23 3HF (208 699 3196)

Next our pharmacy at Grove Park and all their staff. 

Harris Chemist - Baring Road

Baring Our surgery the Novum Health Partnership st Baring Road. Our practice nurses Hannah, Amy and Wendy are fantastic plus Jackie the receptionist and of course Dr.Arora 

http://www.novumhealth.co.uk/

Mary and the staff at the Waldron Centre are very well organised and greet everyone with a smile, which is actually what’s needed amongst all this chaos and mayhem.

https://www.lewishamandgreenwich.nhs.uk/

Abel and Cole have been amazing throughput these crazy and chaotic times. I think we would have been a lot hungrier without their deliveries. 

www.abelandcole.co.uk

Our lovely postman who despite the weather and the virus has been a gem. We live the fifties end of Northover over on BR1 

Lastly a lovely lady called Louise who got my  slippers here in one day from Street in Somerset from Cosyfeet. I am truly grateful as my feet were very painful. Now they are cosy again,

www.cosyfeet.com

Lastly I am so proud of our group and the support they have given each other during this crazy unpredictable times and many lasting friendships will have been formed. I am sure in the next months it will go from strength to strength. Thank you everyone of you for not only being part of the group but part of our lives. 

Hopefully we will all be able to go on a retreat after this chaos is just a memory and we will just carry lessons learnt. Meanwhile hopefully we we can at least have contact this way and bid farewell to last year. 

I am planning. On some new exercises during the next few months as I still feel this will all get resolved March/April the we can hold a workshop at Epping. We can’t make anymore plans, but we now know we must move and start a proper sanctuary somehow this has to be manifested next year. How is a major mystery, but we need it. 

When we get it off the ground you in the group  will all be asked to the opening plus given the opportunity to have a great week. Hopefully we can make it a free weekend if not very responsibly priced to thanks you Alan, Alex, Amanda, Antony, Carol, Daniel, Diana, Federica,Gillian, Julie, John, Jules, Kim A, Kim L, Paul, Rebecca, Sandra and Tracey. Those quietly in the background Alfred. Jules, Juan Carlos and Mike. 

Lastly I would like to wish you a Happy Healthy Stress free and Abundant 2021. 

We are continuing to make and distribute our hearts ♥️ for peace. The pictures the nicer parts of 2020

Take care and keep safe all of you and we look forward to seeing you all later in the year
