The Birth of The Ego of Our Son

By Ian Dixon

Since 2003 I have been experiencing life transformation experiences –prompted by... doctors telling me I had ‘terminal’ cancer with just 3 months of quality time left to live! I survived against impossible odds – my life has changed beyond recognition – my life experience has changed also – so very very much for the better. And, as a result of this work and mainly the sharing of The Journey – I discovered that I was able to
facilitate remarkable healing and life transformation – and in doing so, again and again I experienced great inner joy and love. 

I am a Journey Practitioner who is also a father. Over the years I have often found that all the therapies I have learned still are not reaching issues which seem pre-cognitive in timing i.e. issues arising from experiences before the age of two. After my son's birth I wrote this essay -I share it simply because I feel it is important for mothers to really be empowered at the time of Birth.

I believe that those first few hours and days are so important - they set the scene for the entire life of the new Being - how external factors are to be experienced. it is so very important, I feel, not just for individuals but also for humanity

Personal notes 15th August:

Today, without awareness the event was about to happen, I witnessed the birth of the ego of 7 day old Raphael!♥ from a place of love, and to conform to CZ regulations, we took him to the doctor for the initial check-up. We knew that she would required a blood sample - surely just a prick from his heel? ♥ what I witnessed was systematic physical abuse of a 7 day old baby by a medically qualified ...doctor - who appears to know little of trauma and considers a 7 day old baby as 'just another baby' ... Presumably without 'awareness' and without feelings? I feel sickened by the event - yes just one prick on the heel, but very prolonged systematic painful squeezing of the heel of a baby gradually becoming more and more alarmed and screaming - first 3 drops on a pad, then there was not enough so another three on that pad, then a second pad requiring 4 drops -then not enough so more squeezing of a screaming scared fragile tiny helpless being!!! And then there was not enough again and she wanted more squeezing of this fragile heal. 'Enough' - STOP - only then she stopped. ♥ why? Just in case he has a genetically inherited food intolerance? Is he healthy and eating well? Yes. Is there food intolerance in his ancestors? No. ♥ so why does the state require such genetic information? Why does it cause trauma to 7 day old babies? ♥ today I witnessed the birth of Raphael's ego. I wondered when and how it would happen?♥ I have witnessed, as a therapist, adults in their forties still traumatised and affected by simple childhood disempowerments in the name of medicine. These events do count - they do disempower - the infant is aware - the infant does have feelings. In the name of medicine - today what I witnessed was state abuse (torture?) of a helpless baby, a systematic disempowerment. A tragedy!♥ years ago I became aware after the event, doctors had decided to stitch up my daughter's chin - after a bad fall - without any sedation! When i heard I could hardly believe doctors would participate in such cruelty? ♥ birth of the ego is unavoidable I feel. What one can do is clear the trauma at an early age so the child becomes re-empowered. The work of the 'Journey for kids' is beautiful. Already Katerina and I have agreed Raphael will experience this at a young age. Maybe today has little impact on him? Maybe not? Awareness of reality, in all its colours is imperative for healthy survival. ♥ as a parent - from now on - I will be very aware of the lack of awareness of doctors and the medical professions. This will not happen again under my watch. ♥ meanwhile - all signs are Raphael is fine, healthy, happy and hungry. His mother is awesome in her love and caring. He is so very very lucky. ♥

Ian facilitates life transformations by helping clients discover and release suppressed emotions - that later surface in all sorts of ways - problems at work, difficulty finding a partner, marriage issues, anger, sexual, phobias, social difficulties, lack of self worth, frustration - finding inspiration and energy, many health issues.

Yoga Retreat ( EVENT)

Yoga Retreat in Postash Barns, Suffolk.  20th-23rd February, 2015.

My aim of this retreat is for you to be healed, restored, relaxed and rejuvenated. We will connect back with nature. 

I will try to help you to come back to yourself, remember who you are, love yourself and feel grounded and present.

I will do my best help you feel peace in your mind and love and happiness in your heart. I will try to help you manifest what you really want in life!

The Hatha Yoga class is for beginners and intermediate Yogis; I can vary the postures to suit all abilities. The style is fun and creative, yet focused and still challenging.


The Hatha flows and also has many influences from various disciplines and teachers. Yoga stretches, strengthens, tones, helps to align, and improves the health of the
entire body. My varied mix of guided meditations will help you in different areas of your life and help you to calm the mind and bring you into the present.

EMF Summit ( EVENT)

By Alison Heath

Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) are everywhere. The low level radiation has serious health consequences and experts are predicting a major crisis if we don't wake up and make some changes NOW. There is an exponential rise in brain tumours and childhood leukemia. Wireless in schools has caused microwave weapons experts, epidemiologists, and scientists to come out of retirement to speak up and warn us of the dangers. People need to know about this invisible health threat before it is too late. We can learn to safely use our technology. Awareness precedes action. For the sake of your health, and those of then children of the world who represent our most precious resources, I am hosting the EMF Summit.

1. What is the event about?

World experts will tell you Everything You Need To Protect Yourself from the dangers of
Electromagnetic Field Radiation and Dirty Electricity.  You will also Discover the
Healing Effects of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy.

 

2. Who is the event for?

 

Anyone that is concerned with protecting themselves and their families.

The New You! ( EVENT)

By Derek Mills

 



What are most people missing?

 

Disclaimer:  I have a vested interest in helping people to discover the right path to happiness and success. This is based upon intuition, instinct, accessing my greatest self, research and the feedback of audiences all over the globe. My vested interest is that I'm part of this world, and to the degree that I can help those struggling with this issue, I help the world and I help myself.  Many of you will know that I had a revolution in my life just over a decade ago and it led me to shift from failure, near depression and almost broke, to happiness and success. Until then I had spent 17 years looking outside of myself for the ingredient to success and happiness. Yet I discovered that we all have practical tools within us ALREADY which we can use to live an infinitely more fulfilling and meaningful life for ourselves and others.

 

There is a missing ingredient to greater joy and whatever it is good human beings call ‘success’, it's all based upon the setting of and living by Daily Standards.

 

When we live our lives by Daily Standards, set from within ourselves or our organisation, and we commit to living from that place for just one day, today, we excel beyond any reasonable expectation and more. We enjoy the journey.

I have to admit when I first found this 'missing-link', this vital ingredient to personal happiness and success, I was at first shocked, then elated, then transformed.

 

YOUR PERFECT LIFE

Standards come from the TrueSelf or the ‘real you’. When we set our Standards from within and live by them for just Today, we inhabit a congruent life and we create therefore the life that we were meant to live. Most of our individual Standards have been formed consciously or unconsciously throughout our life. But have you ever considered whether your Standards honour and serve you? In doing so, do they allow you to honour and serve others?

By going into your TrueSelf you can gain the wisdom and guidance to set Daily Standards. Setting Standards helps you to be happy in the present moment, and not look to the future for your happiness and success; as is often the case with goals.

Upon review, there are seven key areas of our lives in which we can begin immediately, today, to set new Life Standards:

 

1. Personal Health & Fitness

2. Environment – (What surrounds us affects us. What is within us affects us)

3. Relationships

4. Family

5. Emotions

6. Career or Job

7. Time (How we live – not how long we live; how we serve and use our time on earth)

 

How do we Set New Standards to give us the success and happiness we dream of?

 

We undertake a Standards Five-Step Reframe™. The 5 steps are:

 

1.     Review your existing Standards in the key areas of your life. What was the source of those Standards?

2.     Realise what Standards are honouring and serving you. Also consider what Standards help you to honour and serve others? Which ones are harming others or the person that you now are?

3.     Release the Standards that are harming you the most (there are many healthy and congruent ways to do this);

4.     Reset new Standards that honour and serve the person you are today and which allow you to honour and serve others;

5.     Re-commit today and then daily to your new Standards.

 

‘When we live by Standards set from within, we become happy and successful TODAY!’

 

True success and happiness is created by thinking and living by Daily Standards. When we do this, we wake up and find ourselves more powerful than we previously dared to dream. We discover parts of ourselves we didn’t know, our gifts and talents begin to pour out in a way that they never have before, and we get to make a positive difference not just to our immediate surroundings, but to the broader world at large.

 

This plus a lot more will be shared at our upcoming event ‘Create Your Best Life in a Day’ with Derek Mills and Michael James. The event provides the opportunity and practical tools to access your greatest self, TrueSelf, to set in motion the Standards which will shape the rest of your life, one day at a time. It's a fun day because everybody enjoys creating and being their greatest self.

 

It's the chance to discover more of your truth, set new Standards from that place and to realise that you are more powerful than you had ever dreamed.

 



 

1. What is the event about?

 

This is a very unique workshop where Derek Mills and Michael James share how to create or re-create your life, your best life, on the day. Based upon a collective 40 years of experience and research, both teachers will create a space where each person attending will be able to 'get' themselves for maybe the first time. Then everyone will be taken through a process and a series of practical steps in order to realise who they truly are and what is possible and true for them.  Moreover, each attendee will then have a Standards blueprint, which they can use as the genesis of what we call your 'best life'. We share insights into the meaning of TrueSelf and how to get and stay in that place. Michael will also share how applying the Law of Attraction into your everyday life, will cause you to ‘live in the now’.

2. Who is the event for?

 

Anyone who would like better health, greater wealth, improved relationships, to feel good about your image, to understand more about yourself, to try new things, to have a more fulfilling career, to be a more contented parent, to learn new skills, to embrace life's challenges, to feel happier and to live an empowered life as your TrueSelf.

 

3. Why should they choose to come to your event?

 

Derek has spoken to audiences from 7 to 7000 and has inspired people around the world to change their lives for the better. Derek is known as the Standards Guy and shares with you how to set Daily Standards instead of goals to achieve happiness and success in your personal and business life.

 

This approach and philosophy is unique. No other event will have this approach because Derek is the creator of the philosophy and the tools. The philosophy and processes are so unique that Hay House, the publishers, gave Derek the opportunity to share his message in his first book - The 10-Second Philosophy, and decided to do so after just one meeting, even though Derek was completely unknown in this arena at the time.

 

4. Where is it happening?

 

Saturday 18th October 2014 between 10am and 5pm

The Bentovin Room, 8 Ridgmount St, London, WC1E 7AA

 

5. How much does it cost?

 

£55 per ticket

 

It is your life, and maybe it's time to review it. Take action, go into TrueSelf, and set Standards, live your truth and excel!

Derek, The Standards Guy,  guides clients and audiences how to use ‘Standards’ (basis, criterion, levels, qualities and rules) to achieve immediate change in their lives. He is in row 9 on our Practitioners' List

Nourish The Children

By Hans Parge

Nourish the Children® (NTC) applies the rigour of successful business
practices to provide a consistent and growing supply of nourishing food to
the world’s most needy children. In March 2014, the NTC initiative surpassed 350 million meals donated to malnourished and hungry children around the
world, since the initiative was established. Today an average of 4.5
million meals are donated each month on an ongoing basis, feeding more than
150,000 hungry children around the world.


The NTC initiative was launched in June 2002. The programme quickly grew as
thousands of generous donors recognised an opportunity to make a difference
by purchasing and donating food designed for malnourished children. In
October 2010, donations surpassed 200 million meals. It has now taken only
a little over 2 years to add another 100 million meals. We look forward to
the time when 100 million meals are donated every year to save malnourished
children around the world.

Why Nourish the Children?
 
With NTC, you have confidence in your donation. You know what your money
will buy: nutritious VitaMeal. You know how your money will be used: to
nourish destitute children. You know that your donations will be leveraged:
with matching donations and through education and disease prevention
programmes. And you know that you are making a difference: with more than
150,000 children being nourished every day.

It is easy to nourish one more child

This program is very close to my heart not only because it nourishes children to develop the miracle machine into a fully functioning mind, body and spirit trilogy but also because it enables everyone to make a difference in the world commensurate with their effort.

And the final thing to clarify..  this is an innovative for profit charity as "free is not sustainable" in the words of Ron Finley, guerrilla gardener LA.

If you would like to Purchase and Donate one bag of VitaMeal each month or encourage a friend to do so, please contact Hans.

Fancy an Olive Oil Tasting? (EVENT)

By Yael Stark
                                           

I met Albertina Torres many moons ago when our kids were attending the same play group. Our roads parted but we remained friends.  Albertine ( Nina ) went back to Spain and her journey took her to her passion; olive oil.

 

In 2008 Nina co- founded a film documentary company with her husband Zev Robinson. In 2012, after 3 long years, they released 'Arribets everything else is noise'; a documentary that focuses on the traditional way of life and its relationship to agriculture, food, and sustainability in the Arribes region in Spain.

 

" We seem to forget where our food comes from"  said Nina in a chat we had earlier on... " we lost touch and track from the food we eat. In this part of Spain they have been consuming 90% of the produce for generations ; no waste, all organic and recycled."  Rather impressive, I thought, especially in light of today's food waste problems..

 

The documentary has attracted the Slow Food movement, which has been supporting them since. The movement "reconnects people with where their food comes from and how it is produced so they can understand the implications of the choices they make about the food they put on their plates."  It started in Italy to resist the opening of a McDonald branch in the Vatican.

 

The documentary also has attracted the EU which commissioned them in 2013 to produce another documentary about organic food and olive harvesting.  Part of the film was to interview one of the top agronomic consultants in Spain, Miguel Abad. Miguel makes sure that the process of production of olive oils conforms with organic farming regulations and that it respects the environment and has no affect on the quality of the olive oils.  

 

Nina took the opportunity to ask him for advice about the top extra virgin organic olive oil brands in Spain. He produced a list of 10, which after rigorous research, Nina condensed to 4, and decided to approach them and bring their products to the UK.

 

Tomorrow you have a chance to meet Nina and taste the top brands of extra virgin organic olive oil. I have tried them on Monday and I can't have enough. I drizzle them on my salads, toast, even on the pasta and rice.

 

Where does the olive oil tasting take place?

Skin Care- Exfoliation

By Sandie Epstein

Exfoliation involves the removal of the oldest dead skin cells on the outermost surface

of the skin to reveal newer skin and has been used for many years to help maintain 

healthy skin. All facials include the process of exfoliation. There are two methods of 

exfoliation: Mechanical and Chemical.

New skin cells are constantly being created in the skin’s lower layer called the dermis. 

Over time, the cells migrate to the surface of the skin and become more acidic. During 

their 30 day journey, they die and become saturated with keratin. Keratin is important as 

it protects the skin from outside elements. Then the outer most skin cells should sough 

off. If they accumulate on the skin’s surface, they clog pores and increase breakouts, 

collect in fine lines making them more noticeable and generally give the skin a dull 

appearance.

 

Exfoliation is especially important through the aging process and after 

menopause for women as the natural process of skin erosion becomes uneven which 

gives the skin a dry and rough character. Exfoliation is also important for men as it 

exposes the hair follicles allowing a better shave. Exfoliation should always be done 

followed by moisturizing. The face is the part of the body that is most sensitive to 

exfoliation and care should be taken to not overdo it. 

Mechanical exfoliation involves physically scrubbing the skin with an abrasive. 

This could be using rough materials such as microfiber cloths, sponges, loofahs or 

brushes. This could also mean using a scrub with sugar or salt crystals, micro-beads 

or pumice. These types of scrubs are readily available for use by the consumer. 

Microdermabrasion is always done by an expert and is another form of mechanical 

exfoliation.

 

Hydroxy acids are the most common form of chemical exfoliation. They work by 

loosening the bond between the surface skin cells, causing the oldest ones to slough 

off.

 

There are two kinds of hydroxy acids, alpha and beta. Alpha hydroxy acids are 

glycolic acid, citric acid and mailc acid. Glycolic acid has small enough molecules 

to actually penetrate the outermost layer of skin to the dermis.

 

Beta hydroxy acid is salicylic acid which has the added benefit of being fat soluble. It can penetrate the oil that collects in pores so it is particularly beneficial in the treatment of blackheads and acne. Hydroxy acids can be applied in large concentrations by a medical professional or in lower concentrations in products purchased by the consumer for daily use.

In conclusion, exfoliation is extremely important for the skin’s health and appearance. 

The removal of the oldest layer of dead cells enables the skin’s ability to breathe 

properly and release the toxins it needs to. Dead cells collecting in pores and wrinkles 

make them appear larger and more evident, and extra layers of dead cells give the skin 

a lifeless appearance. Proper exfoliation will leave the skin youthful and glowing.
