Hell Notes

2010-09-30T11:30:00.017+01:00

Spiritual Spending from the Bank of Hell

As well as ensuring their deceased were buried according to the edicts as set out in Yin House Feng Shui, The Chinese saw hell notes as an important part of the tradition of ensuring one’s ancestors were well cared for when they entered the afterlife.

It was considered that by the burning of these money notes, one could express symbolically the love and respect one had for one’s loved ones. Although commonly referred to as Hell Notes, this money was also referred to as spiritual or chien money, and some are very beautifully designed.

It is believed that the name Hell notes is derived from a lingual misunderstanding between the missionaries visiting China at the time, whom believed that anyone who did not convert to Christianity was doomed to Hell, and that of the Chinese belief in their concept of the afterlife. Although these are not considered legal tender in the proper sense of the word, they are believed to be very valuable when used in ‘Hell.’ As Hell did not have the same significance to the Chinese as it does to those folks that are devout Christians, the Chinese felt no concern whatsoever with regard to referring to this money by this particular name.

In the Buddhist belief system the afterlife, or hell as we refer to it, is an in-between place of learning, where your spirit waits patiently until it is time to experience rebirth into the next life. And although it can also be considered a place where we may be punished, unlike our perception of hell, it is not considered to be ruled by evil demons such as Satan or Beelzebub.

For thousands of years legal tender to spend in Hell has been produced in many different colours and in several designs. Primarily it was brought to the attention of the western world via GI forces from the United States, when they returned from their tours of duty. The Buddhist theory is that in hell there were two gods. The God of Hell, who is the Keeper of the Gate and whom holds the ultimate power over all the spirits under his rule. Then there is the God of Money, he runs the bank of Hell (sounds much like Gordon Brown & Alistair Darling to me… ahem, sorry I just couldn’t resist that.. lol)

These money notes would be burned at the grave site in honour of one's dead, ensuring that they had enough funds to keep them happy for their time in Hell. Furthermore, this allowed the deceased to purchase anything that they may need in the afterlife, objects such as food, bicycles or clothes. In addition to these notes it was also considered fortuitous to provide one’s dead with other objects of prosperity, in order to see them through their time in Hell. This has, in recent years, become very big business, more particularly in Taiwan, where one company has successfully dedicated all of its profit purely from the production of paper mobile phones, villas, fancy cars, jewellery and even designer clothes and handbags. All burned in honour of the dead.

However the giving of such gifts to a person who is still living is understood to be highly offensive, as it is considered to be wishing them dead. As such these notes are kept hidden in the household, away from prying eyes and they are also treated very much as we would treat our own cash. At the time of ceremony, this money is often kept in bundles much as banks keep real money. They are even burnt in a way that depicts respect as opposed to being casually flung upon the flames. By providing and presenting these gifts to their deceased, it was believed that they ensured their happiness, health and well being in the afterlife, hence ensuring their ancestors support for their descendents in this life.

Yin House Feng Shui: Burial Rituals

2010-09-26T10:29:00.009+01:00

Most of us today will have heard of, used or read about the subject of Feng Shui. And many of us are, at the very least, aware that in Feng Shui philosophy, it is believed that the position of one’s front door, or the placement of one’s furniture may enhance future prosperity.

However what most of us are unaware of is that the Feng Shui we are most familiar with today, is more correctly known as ‘Yang House Feng Shui. The implementation and practise of Yin House FS was explicitly devised for the divination of burial sites, and is where all modern Feng Shui originated. This was based upon the principle that all souls are interconnected, and more particularly that families share karma.

This school of thought originated from the deep need of the eastern asian community to find the most propitious locations in which to bury their dead, so strong was their belief that the happiness of the deceased could affect that of future generations. Such was the belief in the efficacy of this system that, in much the same way that we today would expect to spend a small fortune upon our wedding day, they would often almost bankrupt themselves in order to ensure their loved one was buried in the most auspicious location money could buy.

As it was understood that souls within a family were all inter-connected via their DNA, and that their bones could still absorb the positive and negative influences of the landscape, even after death. The whole process of locating the correct burial site was taken very seriously indeed. If a body was inauspiciously placed after death, the effects upon the descendants could be very catastrophic indeed, and as such, they went to great pains to ensure everything was done correctly, right down to the minutest detail. By burying their dead in this way, they believed that they could establish a more secure and prosperous future for their descendents.

All Feng Shui concedes that in order to prosper, the chosen landscape has to possess the correct flow of chi, and where Yin House Feng Shui is concerned the concept is no different. However in regard to Yin House Feng Shui, it is more correct to locate an environment where the flow of chi is more Yin like, as opposed to Yang, which is more fortuitous in regard to the living. This is because Yin energy is more conducive to the breaking down of physical matter, therefore the decay and decomposition of the physical body.

Historically Yin House FS could be quite subjective, particularly in relation to the reading of the surrounding mountain-scape, which often differed depending upon which consultant one spoke to. The yin or yang aspect of each and every mountain surrounding the potential burial site had to be individually considered, and then also any inner mountain ranges which may have existed within that range.

However in an age when urbanization and planning regulation reduces the possibility of picking out your own specific mountain range, and locating a burial site as and where you wish, it is still possible to implement the more important aspects of this philosophy whilst keeping in line with the limitations placed upon us by modern day living.

Traditionally any funeral arrangements to be made were usually pre-planned, and there were several stages involved within the process of a Yin House consultation. Land selection, sleeping & facing direction, the Bhai Zai readings etc. The most important being the Form School landscape arrangements, alongside the casket and tombstone alignments, which are dictated by the astrological influences, and most propitious compass directions.

In some cases it was not unusual for the Chinese to wait several years for the right conditions in which to bury their dead. In the case of Mao Tse Tung’s grandfather, they actually delayed burial for approximately 7 years after his death, in order to activate the most auspicious Feng Shui formations that surrounded the site selected for burial.

However, such drastic measures would not be welcomed by most people today, and it is still possible to lock into that all important beneficial chi, regardless of the modern day restrictions, and to incorporate all the benefits associated with Yin House Feng Shui without going to such lengths.

Yin House Feng Shui may, today, seem like a somewhat macabre and morbid concept, but we would all agree that we only want the best future for our children, and our children’s children. Yin House Feng Shui was seen as a way of ensuring the long term future of a family’s future descendents, and ensuring the best future possible for them. By implementing the recommendations as set out by Yin House FS, future descendents were guaranteed a prosperous and blessed future, through consideration of the correct burial of their predecessors.

Premonitions

2010-09-23T10:39:00.004+01:00

There has always a lot of question over the validity or even existence of premonitions. But much evidence would seem to suggest that they do indeed exist, and also that we would do well to heed them. Most of us would never even consider ourselves in the least bit clairvoyant or even psychic , but at the same time many of us will have had 'gut' reactions to situations in our life, or 'sensed' an atmosphere around us, or even have 'picked up' that somethng was not really right about a situation or something our child or friend was telling us. All of which would suggest that that we are indeed sensitive to the energetic environment that surrounds us.

Animals have never forgotten their instincts, nor how to use them. My dog Pippa always knew when my ex was due home, and he never came home at the same time each evening, so it was never about the timing. The animals all knew when the Tsunami was coming, as they all cleared out just days/hours prior to it hitting. They knew because they 'sensed it', and why we can accept that animals can sense things, while we can't is beyond me. Is it because we do not want to admit to what we may term our 'animal instinct?'

Even the type of vocabulary that we use is telling us something about our sensitivity and our ability to tune in. We have a 'gut reaction' - a most interesting term to use, particularly in regard to the fact that the gut is exactly where our solar plexus is located.

Generally the solar plexus is the chakra that works the hardest on a more physical level, tuning into and sensing our immediate environments. Because of this, it tends to be our most vulnerable chakra, mainly because it's job is to link in with those around us, and whom we communicate and interact with on a daily basis. This is often why we sometimes create a protective layer of fat around this area. Almost like we are trying to defend ourselves against 'feeling' too much.

If asked had we ever had a hunch about something, most of us would certainly have had at least one experience or another that we could share. But most of us regard an actual premonition as some sort of 'vision' or altered state of consciousness, when in fact it can be just a 'knowing' or a 'feeling' that something is about to happen. That absolute certainty some has happened to your child, your friend or your father.

Many years ago, before I even knew that I had this gift, I remember just blurting things out of the blue, not really knowing what I was doing. One particular time, I was sat in a pub with my friends, when a pregnant lady walked past, I looked at my friend Sue and said 'that could be you in 6 months'. She looked at me and laughed, saying 'no way!' Six months later she was very, very pregnant. Another time my sister in law was told she would not be able to have children. Quick as a flash I said, 'yes you will, you will have two.' She now has two, very healthy boys, and neither via IVF or somesuch technique.

The weirdest encounter was when I went to the greyhounds one evening. I had never been before, nor have I been since, but that night was amazing. You see, I won 11 races, one after the other! Each time I could see who the winner was going to be, and I was right. But I had never experienced this before, so I never trusted my intuition that evening. Nor did my 6 companions, who although astounded at my constant luck, and whom continously asked how I was doing it, never followed my lead, and betting on the same dog. I realise now what I was being shown, my ability to see the future, and no, I have not been able to repeat that particular trick!

I have, though, had many other experiences, too many to list. I also know of friends that have had premonitionary dreams, some of them only personally relevant to them, and some more relevant to us all as a whole. One friend told me she dreamt of being on an aeroplane that crashed over Scotland, she thought it was connected to her personally, so, as she had no plans to travel by air to Scotland, she dismissed it from her thoughts. 2 weeks later Lockerbie happened. She later told me that every detail was correct, except her being on board, the very reason she had discounted it from her mind.

There have been many well known cases where premonitions have played a devastating part of our lives on a macro level, some of which have been well publicised. In particular the one involving David Icke, and his humiliating experience at the hands of Terry Wogan. Regardless of what we think of him and what he has written, that was a shameful interview by Mr Wogan, and was completely unnecessary. David was initially ridiculed by the press in regard to his book, where he claimed there would be a massive air disaster aimed at the United States, and involving some tall buiildings. After the devasting impact of 9/11 took place, people had to stand back and take stock of what he had in fact written many, many months prior to the incident actually occurring.

Maybe a little less known is the fact that President Lincoln actually had a premonitionary dream involving his own death. He apparently dreamt one night that upon walking into a room at the Whitehouse, he came upon a Guard of Honour stood to attention over a corpse, wrapped in funeral vestments. When he asked the guard who it was that had died, he was told that it was the President of America, and that he had been assasinated!

The stories are endless, and while some are wild goose chases or just plain fanciful thinking, there should be a place in our world for premonitions. There is more than enough factual evidence to support them and their authenticity, enough evidence for us to 'know' that they are real, and that they could play a really important part of our lives.

The Secret Life Of Flowers....

2010-09-20T14:05:00.003+01:00

The Language of Flowers is often thought to be something that originated from the Victorian era. However, whilst it was definitely a popular form of communication at this time, it is actually believed to have originated from Turkey in the 17th /18th Century. Known as a 'Persian Selam', lovers exchanged floral bouquets with each other, conveying their deepest, most innermost feelings via these floral displays. These secret exchanges were a deliberate form of expressing their love for one another, the giving and receiving of flowers, secretly revealing underlying meanings in a way that only the sender or receiver would understand. Subtle, and often secret messages were passed back and forth in this way, lovers exchanging floral messages with each other, declaring the true nature of their feelings via the different blooms and colours. And I would imagine that this played an enormous part in the strong link we have today in regard to flowers & romance.

Initially starting out in Turkey, and later introduced into Europe, the Turkish secret language of flowers became a very popular way to communicate your feelings of attraction, affection or love. In particular, the Victorians became very enarmoured by this new and adventurous form of communication - a secretly coded boquet - and possibly seen it as a welcome escape from the more formal mode of communication that was expected of society during the reign of Queen Victoria. Such was their interest in this subject, and such was it's popularity at this time, that it was often mistakenly believed that they were indeed the creators of such a language. I would imagine the true reason for this misconception was in great part due to their intense interest in it.

Different flowers became associated with different feelings and emotions, and this eventually developed into a specific language, later termed as Florigraphy, literally meaning 'the language of flowers.' Actually considered a science in itself, Florigrapy was embraced fully by the Victorian people, who found this a new and very romantic method of communication, and a gentleman of the time had to be very careful indeed in regard to what flowers he gave a lady, for fear of sending the wrong message entirely.

'Le Language des Fleurs', it is believed was the first book published upon the subject in 1818, and this was written by a French woman by the name of 'Mme Charlotte de la Tour. However, it was a Victorian woman by the name of Miss Corruthers of Inverness, so taken by the whole subject matter, who felt compelled to write her own book, and it was her book on floral communication , published in 1879, that actually became the standard in it's field.

It was around and about this time, that the people of England found themselves reigned by a Queen in deep mourning after the loss of her husband, Prince Albert, (one whom, in our modern day would most likely be considered to be in a deep state of depression), and in a society less and less capable of expressing themselves freely and openly. Left with little option with regard to self expression, particularly in regard to emotional expression, they turned to flowers to satisfy their need to connect with one another

There were also incredibly strict restraints in regard to courtship at this time, so lovers became very conversant in the language of flowers and, as such, chose their flowers very carefully indeed. And it was not only in the shape of posies that they expressed themselves.

Florigraphy gave them a means of expressing themselves, despite society’s restrictions, and whilst the variety and supply of flowers was much more limited back then, the Victorians became very adept at how they used flowers in regard to communication. Indeed, the need to express themselves in this way became so strong that the language of flowers became a very complex thing, and, as such, over time, many books & dictionaries were produced and dedicated purely to provide detailed explanations of the meaning behind posies, nosegays or a single stem.

The giving of flowers, and their associated meanings became highly fashionable during this time, hence flowers became the common mode of communication. So it was primarily the Victorians who took advantage of this new way to communicate their feelings for each other. As a result the whole concept became very complicated, and one had to be very knowledgeable in order to ensure the proper message was put forward when giving such a gift. It is a very different story today, and in our modern world, the giving of flowers is seen in a very different light. The giving or receipt of a bouquet is always considered a positive message, as flowers are more often than not used to celebrate, as opposed to commiserate.

Case History - My Son's Nightmares Have All Gone

2010-08-23T14:01:00.009+01:00

I was contacted by a couple suffering greatly since they had moved into their beautiful new house. They had been really looking forward to the move, but it seemed that almost as soon as they had settled in, it all began going wrong. In particular their young son, whom had previously been quite content to sleep in his own room, was now suffering regular nightmares, and now refusing to even comtemplate stopping in his own room of a night. I receive the contact through a colleague, and attended the consult armed with only the knowledge that there was a sleeping problem. The wife was at the end of her tether by this time, and I was her last resort. If this failed they were selling up and moving out, as far as she was concerned.

Upon speaking to them briefly over the telephone, I felt quite nauseated and heavy. I could feel something was not right, reflected in the sickliness that I was feeling. I also got an image of an elderly man which I drew and dated. I had not mentioned this man to the client, as sometimes this upsets them, and is better presented whilst in their presence, when I can do something to change it.

Upon the day of the consultation, I went about the usual process of checking the space out for geopathic etc, and then as I sat with the client I informed her of what I had picked up within the space. I showed her my drawing and explained that I felt the very strong presence of an elderly man. He was thin, and small in build, with a hooked nose, and balding head. I felt very strongly that this was originally his home, and even though he had died, he had not passed on, for whatever reason.

I said he was very angry that you and your family had moved into 'his' home, and in particular, your son, whom had taken over what he perceived as his bedroom. She was quite taken aback with what I said, as her son had continuously complained about the angry man that would not let him go to sleep. This was the nightmares he was having.

I set about clearing the space and removing any geopathic, ghost and entities, finishing up with a specially devised meditation.

Below I have detailed her email, received two years later....

A Testimonial:

.............After moving into our new home, I realized immediately that all was not well. The energy of the house was very negative and we discovered the previous occupants had also been burgled. I knew instinctively that this "energy" had been left by the previous owners and also wondered about a stream that ran near us and possibly under the house as I had heard of "black streams" before. My husband and I were unable to sleep and our son was constantly having nightmares about "ghosties". Anyway the long and the short of it was that something needed to change, as after 4 weeks of lots of problems I wanted the house back on the market and we were moving out. Fortunately I decided to try and see if a Feng Shui consultation would help before taking drastic action. Since having it done the change has been quite dramatic. The energy in our home once you had finished was that of the Angels and nearly two years on we are still here.

Thank you Eileen........

A Case History: The Doctor's Wife

2010-08-18T01:43:00.001+01:00

I attended a consultation for a lady that had been trying to sell her house for nearly a year. This was long before the recession and houses were selling like hot cakes at the time. She lived in a very picturesque part of England, just outside London, in the Surrey area. Her husband and her were divorcing, which is why they were selling up. She was a healer and he a General Practitioner.

When I entered her house, we both headed for her kitchen for a cup of tea and a chat about what had been happening. There was a view of a very large garden, from the kitchen window to the rear of the property, and I could see two children playing under a large tree near the bottom. They were picking up what seemed to be large apples and placing them in their pinafores, which they held out like baskets in which to hold the fruit. They were laughing and giggling with each other, oblivious to the attention they were getting.

They caught my attention in particular because they were dressed from a very different era to that of today. In fact the clothing that they were wearing was reminiscent to that of the girls in the series 'The Railway Children'. I immediately told the client what I could see, to which she replied that there was definitely some history that suggested that two children had indeed been buried beneath that apple tree.

After we had talked a little, she gave me a tour of the property, and as we entered her healing room I was quite taken aback by the heaviness and the energetic darkness of the room there. But more than that, I was shown a vision of a pathway of some sort, but it was as if I was hovering above it. It seemed as if it was set below the ground level , maybe several feet lower. Along this path/dirt track walked several people, hundreds even. They looked world weary and tired, there was a look of fear or dread upon their faces, and some held a sheer look of despair and hopelessness.

Again their attire was not of our day, but this time their clothes were stained, tattered and torn, and many wore no shoes, as opposed to the children earlier who were well dressed. They seemed to falter in their steps, as they moved forward, all going in the same direction, which was diagonally from right to left.

It seemed to lead out across the rear garden and passed that huge apple tree right at the bottom. When I described what I was being shown to the client, she then explained that there was much evidence to suggest that there was, in fact, a yardham in that general direction, long gone now of course, where people were routinely hanged. To me, it seemed that they still walked that miserable path to their own death, trapped in the memory of their own trauma.

I had also noticed that the house was full of entities. They seemed to be tumbling out of every room. Everywhere I went they were. In every nook and crannie of the house, and all they time they chanted "that's not going to make us go"

I did what I always did when challenged by these troublesome creatures, and acted as if I saw and heard nothing. The Doctor and his wife slept in different rooms, but were still amicable with each other. When I entered his room I found it full of these beings, far worse than any other room in the house.

This did not really surprise me,particularly when it later transpired that he was an alcoholic, which was one of the main reasons they were separating. These spirits are very much attracted to anyone who is into self abuse such as drug, solvent or alchohol abuse. So when there is this type of issue going on within a space, one is always likely to find these types of creatures loitering close by. They feed off of the energy it generates, the sadness, the depression and the suicidal thoughts. Oftentimes they can aggravate the situation, particularly where possession is occurring.

I went about my usual process of breaking down the mucus-like energy of the space, using bells, incense and clapping, and all the while in the background their mantra ringing in my ear, "that's not going to make us go".

Towards the end of the clearing, and as I prepared to do my final meditation, I informed the client of what they had been saying to me. She stopped in her tracks, and looking straight at me she said, "but that is what I have been hearing in my head all week!"

As I prepared to go, her phone began to ring and it was the estate agents wanting to arrange a viewing. In fact it rang 4 times with bookings before I managed to leave. She was very pleased, as she said she had heard nothing from them for so long.

Below I have detailed an email she sent to me, regarding a friend of hers, whose house I had cleared prior to her booking. In fact it was the reason she booked a consult in the first place.

A Testimonial: Sparkling, Clear & Sacred....

I visited Richard's house after you had been there, and am totally blown away by the change in energy. It feels like a clean slate, sparkling and clear and sacred. I had been aware of the entities there but had no idea that it could affect the energy so much. I too have been involved in entity clearing for a long time, though rather as a sideline, so could learn a lot from you.

The Sacred Spirit of Place

2010-07-15T19:27:00.005+01:00

Because we are beings of energy and light, we are affected by the energetic environments that surrounds us. Everything we experience in our lives is recorded and kept in place by the homes we inhabit. In dream mythology the home is a representation of self, with each room a different aspect of the whole. In feng shui philosophy the home is seen as a reflection of our lives. To most of us the home is an extension of self and contained within it is all our thoughts, our feelings and all our passions. We fill it with our tastes, our style and our beliefs, our happiness. It is a place where we can find shelter, time out of the rat race, our own space, ‘me time’.

But what happens when home creates sickness and despair? According to experts vast amounts of money is lost to business due to time off work, and the main factor for this is stress related illness. Stress usually occurs when we are out of balance with life, and anyone familiar with feng shui, knows that the key to harmony is strong, balanced life force. Oftentimes it is the space that we are living in that can be the cause of all our problems, particularly if it has resident problems such as negative or geopathic stress. It could have a history of past trauma creating problems, or a spirit or entity infestation due to it’s troubled past. And then we move into such a space, unknowingly taking on the burden of problems.

One good example of this is a place in Morristown, New Jersey in a place aptly called ‘Jimmy’s Haunt’. This is where a brutal and savage murder occurred in the early 19th century. Originally built in 1749, in 1833 it was the home to Judge Samuel Sayres and his family, who were soon to be the victims of a young man from France called Antoine Le Blanc. An immigrant named Antoine Le Blanc came to America to find his fortune like many others of his time. Due to his inability to speak English he had problems finding work and eventually found work with a Judge Samuel Sayres and his family, in return for some food and a roof over his head. But Antoine was not happy with this, and upon realising he even had to taken orders from their lowly servant girl, Peggy, he finally lost control and murdered the entire household including their servant.

He then stole all their valuables and made a run for it, but he was quickly apprehended by the townsfolk, who meted out a grisly and gruesome sentence. He was then skinned and made into purses and lampshades which were sold to those attending his execution. Ever since the building was said to have been the subject of hauntings and sightings of, what most believe to be, Peggy the servant girl. Visitors and staff would complain of hearing whispers and voices, being touched, feeling cold areas, and some even heard noises much like a party taking place when the room was obviously empty. This led to the place having continous problem. It changed hands often and also led to staffing problems within the place. After years of problems, Jimmy’s Haunt has now shut down and been demolished with a new bank in it’s place.

Just as in Psychometry, where thoughts and emotions can be recorded within an object to be extracted by a sensitive, our homes can record everthing experienced within their walls. Thoughts and feelings manifest outside of the physical world, creating a miasma of emotions within our living and working spaces, constantly changing, constantly moving, constantly creating. Disease, emotion or trauma leave an energetic imprint in space, matter and time. And as beings of energy ourselves, we are subject to and affected by this energy that surrounds us, and, as such, factors such as these will have a direct impact upon our state of mind and physical well being.

So, when energy becomes stuck, or stagnates, it can and will cause all sorts of problems. When trauma or disease has occurred within a space, a deep energetic imprint results, the ramifications of which are that any occupants of such a space will suffer as a result of the negative stress build up. However whatever the initial reasons for the problem, there will inevitably be a subsequent build up of trauma within a space where the only way forward is a space clearing. In some buildings there are problems that have built up over a number of generations, and a space clearing will never have taken place.

In the past we would bless our houses before moving in, an exercise that has largely been forgotten in the modern age in which we live. But even so, in the most serious instances a simple blessing may not be enough to move on a troubled spirit or entity, where a more detailed clearing is needed.

Feng Shui Tips To Improve Your Love Life:

Are you making the same old mistakes in romance again and again? Is it always the same problems, different pair of pants in regard to your men? Do you find yourself always with a partner who is fearful of committment, or are you constantly having problems finding a mate?

Love and romantic issues form a huge part of my consultations, with nearly a third of my clients wanting to know how their homes are affecting their marital or romantic life. And when I look around the space, again and again I see very similar issues presented in each and every case.

Feng Shui is a powerful tool for change, and oftentimes we can unknowingly create an environment that is non-productive in our lives, and in relation to romance, can pick apart at the very bones of a successful love life. And, as is often the case, there are very similar scenarios being played out in these homes where the partnership is breaking down, or divorce or separation is on the cards.

However if you find that love is refusing to enter your life, or when it does it never stays, it may be time to take a closer look at what your home is trying to tell you.

In Feng Shui terms, and using your front door as a reference point, you can find the 'Love Area' to the rear, right hand corner of a space, as you stand facing into the property. This is the door in which you enter into your actual home. However I would also be inclined to take a thorough look throughout the entire house, as oftentimes, mistakes are repeated.

But more particularly what is in this area? What does this space tell you about your love life? You can improve your chances greatly by influencing this particular area in each and every room, using the Bagua as a point of reference. And remember that Feng Shui works whether you instigate it deliberately or not. Whilst it may not seem to be working for you, it is definitely affecting your life and how you live it.

I remember year's ago, while I was still in the early stages of training, I had put various objects around my home to assist in finding someone in which to share my life. Coincidentally, at the same time I had ended up with a hamster my daughter had grown tired of. Nevertheless, as much as he was foisted upon me, unexpectedly, I did come to adore him, and I ended up buying another, after he passed away at the grand old age (for hamsters) of 3!

There was only one area I could put him in my home and that happened to be the main relationship area, but, hey, I thought he will be busy on his wheel activating the energy of that area, which could only be a good thing. He was a little white Syrian Dominant Spot, which meant he was all white, except for a little grey spot which encompassed his entire upper head area.

It was shortly after this that I met with a very nice man, who was quite distinguished looking, tall, well dressed, and with silver/grey hair! He was also a bit of a workaholic! Not only that he was Greek. It was then that I noticed that all the relationship areas in my home had an image that could easily be related to Greece, each and everyone of them. In the main area was a huge picture depicting Grecian statues in a romantic pose, in my bedroom, another image of a couple on a swing in Grecian clothing, in my bathroom were picture postard images of Greek landscapes and seascapes, in my living room was a vase my sister had brought me back from a holiday in Greece! So it would seem, that even without intention, we can set the intention of our future.

Some tips to improve your love life:

Look at the pictures in your home. Is there people in them, if so what are they doing, are the all lonely, melancholic images.

What about other symbology within your space, statues, objects. Start creating pairs and groups around the homes.

In your bedroom, what is the general feel of the space, untidy, homely, asexual. Create a romantic, sensual or sumptious bedroom. Remove TV's (Yes, remove them!), computers and stacks of work or reading material. The bedroom is about you, your relationship with self, and a current or prospective partner.

What is the relationship you desire? Then create it in your bedroom, wherever it may be situated within the bagua.

Remove mirrors from the bedroom, which can encourage insomnia, anxiety and extra-marital affairs!

Make up a love table in your home, place symbols of romance upon it, paired objects, a picture of a loving couple, a candlestick for two candles joined at the stem, some romantic
poetry, rose quartz, some perfume and cufflinks..

If the love area is in the kitchen, be creative with your ideas for romance. For instance get an attractive salt n pepper set, and place it accordingly.

Set the stage for romance and make your home all about it.

DISCOVER THE TRUTH BEHIND CELEBRITY BREAK-UPS

Almost everyday we read about another celebrity relationship hitting the rocks. And in recent months, it would seem, there has been a spate of celebrity break-ups, including Robin Williams and George Clooney. Jordan and Peter are have also separated in recent times, but what could be the underlying cause. Why is it that some relationships can seem so stable, yet others just keep falling apart. According to world renowned Feng Shui Consultant & Home Healer Eileen Rawson, of http://www.rawson.co.uk,/ the reasons are all too obvious.

“I see it often in my work as a Feng Shui Consultant, but unfortunately clients often only contact me when things have deteriorated to the point of irreparable damage,” says Eileen . “One such case,” Eileen remembers, “was where a client had broken up with her long term partner. They had recently moved into their new apartment, and within a short time they had separated. The client then learned that the previous 8 occupants of this particular flat had also separated shortly after moving in”. It was a clear case of the Predecessor Law combined with bad Feng Shui, according to Eileen. Simply put, Predecessor Law, is a name given to the energetic imprint left within a space by the previous occupants, where a previous couple experienced difficulty within a space, it is common for any future occupants to also suffer similar difficulties.

Eileen remembers another case where a particular client was desperately seeking a long-term relationship. Upon visiting her home, Eileen noticed a very large piece of art, which filled the entire wall, in the relationships area of the client’s home. Whilst being a truly beautiful piece, Eileen believed it was the main factor regarding her client’s inability to maintain a solid relationship. It depicted a woman with a sword in one hand and a man’s bloodied head in the other. The rest of the house was filled with single images of women. The only male image within the entire house was a sculpture of a naked, chained and manacled man posed submissively.

Eileen goes on to say “It is frightening how often we are our own worst enemies when it comes to blocking what we truly desire, and yet we just cannot see that the obstacles before us are our very own carefully crafted creations. When we utilise Feng Shui to create a loving relationship, we then allow healing within our existing relationships, or we embrace the future, attracting positive experiences into our lives. This allows us to overcome our own obstacles, creating a more fulfilling, lasting love. We can also improve our relationship with self.

Testimonial from one of Eileen’s clients:

..............we have not had one argument since you came over!! Now that's saying something, we'd have at least two or three spats a week before! We are sleeping better and generally feeling more at peace and in harmony with everything in general. Friends have commented on how well we are getting along and some have even said they are envious of our relationship! On the work front it has been pretty busy too. I can't thank you enough for giving us back our harmonious personal and work relationship and space! Thank you sooooo much!.....................

Eileen says that when a relationship is heading towards the rocks there are often signs quite early on, and if the problems are dealt with appropriately it need not end in separation. She agrees that while it is important to learn to communicate with each other and try to come to some understanding, it may not be all that needs looking at. As far as Eileen is concerned, your living space plays a crucial part in the success or failure of your relationship.

Here are a few tips to attract new love, or to improve an existing relationship:

Look at what surrounds you, if there is a preponderance of single objects then think about reducing them and bringing in more pairs

Try and create a romantic or sexy feel to your bedroom, lots of fabric, brocades, burgundies and furs for passion, or pastel pinks, soft blues and mauves for romance.

Be creative, even if the relationships area is in the kitchen, a pair of salt & pepper pots can do the trick.

Make room for a perspective partner, ie in your wardrobe, or on your dressing table. Don’t place the double bed up against a wall, make sure you allow room to get off of the bed on both sides.

Place more images of happy couples about the house.

Connetticut.....

2009-10-12T08:47:00.007+01:00

Going there was like going back in time, as we crossed the border from New York State, I felt this complete change in the energy, in space and time. I became aware of something very negative suddenly surrounding me. The energy felt dense, heavy, restrictive. "Have we entered the bible belt I asked?"........... , "Yes," she answered. "How did you know?"

"I felt it"

We had been out in New York teaching, and a number of consults had been booked as a result. I had already done a consultation on her house, a brownstone in the middle of Manhatten. So impressed was she that she requested I visit her house in Connetticut too, as she was concerned about the atmosphere there. We continued on our journey, and I continued to feel uncomfortable. It was not unlike entering the twilight zone. It felt eerie, unsettled. The hairs literally stood up on the back of my neck. As we drew nearer to her town, the tension grew, I just could not shake off this feeling of trepidation.

Whilst clearing her home in New York city, I had seen a psychic image of a couple, dressed in clothes not dissimilar to that worn by the puritans. Had she relatives she knew of that looked like this, what about the previous owners. She could not make sense of my vision, and nor could I.

But she could make sense completely of the remark I had made that same day, as a psychic had told her the same thing word for word 5 years earlier. It was about a gentleman she knew professionally, someone that had visited her place on many occasions. He was a consultant like me, and he had visited her place several times, and the workplace of her husband.

I knew this same person, I had met him before in the course of my work/training, and I had seen things that had made question his integrity. I had seen things around him, things that told me not to trust him. Had seen them psychically. I could not make sense of any of it at the time, still couldn't, can't.. I just know..., trust my intuition/instincts

The words I had spoken to her had come to me psychically. I cannot even remember them now. But she could, she had even taken note of them this time, such was her astonishment that the words had not been similar, but exactly the same as before, words I could not have known.

And so now here we were, on this journey together. She had invited me to her country home in Connetticut.

As we parked up I noticed a large white wooden church before me. Typical of those found in America. I found the sight of it disconcerting, dominating. There it was, centre-stage. Well I could see what ruled this town.

That was a bit harsh Eileen, I thought. Afterall I do like these churches, I find them very reminiscent of 'the little house on the prairie, and all things sweet and good. But something felt wrong about this one.

A little store was situated to my right, it served hot food and provisions. Again a strange sensation, what was it, what was bothering me so much? I looked about me, something wasn't right about this place. I got the strangest feeling that if some of the people living here got wind of who I was/what I was, (a ghosthuntress), it would not be to my benefit. I felt threatened. It was almost like I had entered Salem at the time of the witchburnings.

This is ridiculous I thought, then shrugged myself off, as if cementing the silliness of such a thought. But there was no question, I felt uneasy, very uneasy, indeed.

We were all feeling a little hungry by this time. We crossed over the road and went into the little cafe. It was a bit chilly outside and the warmth touched your face as you entered. Voices reverberrated off the walls. There were people scattered about here and there, everywhere. In groups, alone, some chatting happily, others focussed upon their food/newspaper. The place smelled good, felt normal. Gratefully I/we entered the queue, and it was then I noticed the art upon the wall.

Mostly it was abstract, not good either, (well in my opinion anyway). But what struck me most was the couple in the middle of all the other images. A chill went through me. Their clothes, hairstyles, faces. They would not have been out of place in Salem during the witchburnings! I pointed at it, and then turned to give my order. She gasped, 'is that the couple you seen yesterday?'

'Yes.'

I had noticed the little note on the counter it stated 'we aim to please, if you cannot see what you are looking for then please ask.' So I asked, 'have you got any mash, please?' The assistant came right up into my face, and shouted, 'NO!' The hate in her eyes had been unmistakeable

They all stopped, the place fell silent, all eyes were upon me and I felt mortified. Completely unaware of what it was that I said that could have invoked such a response, I quickly muttered something about some chips, paid and went to my table. Upon being asked what could have caused that, I shrugged my shoulders and ate, my eyes glancing up now and then at the image amongst the artwork. I was beginning to feel somewhat apprehensive, maybe even frightened.

Something was not right here, I had it felt on the way here, and again when I stepped out into the parking lot from the car. I tried to tune into what it was, an oddness. The feeling, the anger, the domineering church. I sensed that this place had not evolved in some way. The people had reincarnated many times, but they had not moved on in some way. Something was holding them back. For some reason they were the same puritanically minded folk they had been all those hundreds of years ago.

We finished up our food and headed over to the house. It was nothing special. When I say that, I mean nothing special in that, it was a very nice house, typical of those you find in America. And nicely situated too. And yes indeedy, you sure got a good view of that church from most of the windows. But energetically, while there was definitely something out of place, I did not think it was dire. But I sure got a bad feeling about that town..... I just could not put my finger on what exactly it was.. something was being hidden. Then she said y'know 'so & so. lives not 20 minutes from here?' I knew 'so & so' alright, and he was a very good friend of the professional gentleman mentioned earlier, and no better.. 'Oh right, how fascinating'. Things began to make a little more sense to me now.

I did the clearing and then settled down on the sofa to do the final meditation. As I slipped into a deep state of being, I kept being shown the church with flames engulfing it. Okay, I thought, now what is that about? I passed what I had seen onto the client, to which she informed me that it had indeed been subject to trouble, resulting in it having to be rebuilt 3 times.

Y'see it had been struck by lightening 3 times, and each time it had burnt to the ground.....

Case History: Old Woking

2009-08-22T12:26:00.013+01:00

I was invited to do a consultation on a large, historical property in Old Woking. At the time of the consultation the building was undergoing complete renovation and it was to be used in future as a drug rehabilitation centre. The reason I had been commissioned to carry out the consultation was that the present owners had been having some problems with the builders, but not in the usual sense.

For security reasons, some of the workmen were required to stay overnight, and there was an issue with this apparently. They were refusing to do so, as they were all too scared to.

They all maintained that there was an ‘atmosphere’ within the space that made it impossible for them to do so. As far as they were concerned, while they were happy enough to work as a team during daylight hours. After nightfall was a different matter, forget it.

As had happened before, this job had come to me via a colleague, and as such, I knew very little about the circumstances surrounding the consultation, except that building works were ongoing, and that the client required a space clearing. So it was with some trepidation that I attended the consult, and for no other reason than I figured that I would probably be on the receiving end of some wisecracks from the workmen. Particularly when I started wafting the old incense around the place.

I could not have been more wrong. As it turned out, they were extremely glad to see me, particularly when they learned the reason that I was there. They explained to me that they felt very uncomfortable in the space as a whole. Sometimes even seeing things out of the corner of their eye, or feeling watched as they went about their business. At nightfall the whole 'feeling' of the place became more intense, and when it came to going down into the basement area, well they never went down there alone. At one point, while I was stood at the top of the stairs leading down to it, I had 3 grown men, all stood behind me, pointing and saying that they believed the object of their fear was residing down those steps, and they weren’t wrong.

I cleared the entire space using my usual techniques, and the initial feedback was extremely good. In fact while I was finishing off my work, some of the builders actually told me that they could already feel the difference within the space. It was like a fog lifting, they said.

I was later informed by the client that all building works were now proceeding without any hitches. The builders were happy now, and even okay in regard to staying overnight at the project. Another success story.

Moving House, moving on.....

2009-08-02T16:57:00.002+01:00

It has been some time since I last blogged, and I must apologise for that, but things have been moving pretty fast for me. I moved house last November to a new house, which was exactly that, brand new. And this was a new experience for me also.

I bought prior to the building being finished so didn't really know how it would look and particularly how the rear garden would look. While each new residence comes with it's own unique challenges regarding the Feng Shui, I was eagerly anticipating those presented by a house where I was the first true occupant.

Many fly with the misconception that new builds come with out predecessor energy, which is completely wrong as all property has been built on land which has witnessed a past. Then there is a fact that every touch leaves a trace, and memory is taken from all experience. So every builder, plumber, plasterer and architect of a building will leave it imbued with their energy, their life-force and leave their mark upon those that move into it. There is a saying among feng shui circles, that 'a mad architect will design buildings that create madness', which is something to always keep in mind, particularly in this day and age, when art seems to have confused itself with building design and we see more and more outrageous buildings being put forward for us to live in.

But back to my new build. It was indeed a revelation, to move into such a property, but I realised very quickly that my immediate attention was to the outside of the property as opposed to the interior, when I set eyes upon the garden, for it sloped heavily away from the house, and the fence either side accentuated it even more as it followed the same line.

To reduce the loss of chi I took immediate action, raising the back fencing cleverly combining trellissing & brushwood flexible fencing, which created an artistic, yet solid backdrop. I then sectioned the garden into 'outdoor rooms', again using trellising to cross the garden at intervals, drawing the eye away from the lines drawing down and away from the house. Clever planting of various shrubs along the yang side (green dragon) of the garden raised the money side/male of the garden, ensured finances would not tumble and strengthened my chances of creating a positive relationship, and the final trick was to plant a weeping birch that would lend the house that all important 'black turtle' support to the rear. Job done!

A Visitation in the Night.......

2008-09-07T16:06:00.003+01:00

Many years ago, when I first began learning how to use my gift, I was attending a course on working with crystals. I met another lady there and we became friends. She was, I came to discover, a little needy, and would ring me often for advice on what my guides felt she should do with regard to situations in her life.

Regardless, one evening I felt I should sleep with my crystal quartz terminator under my pillow. I had not real reason to do this, I just felt it was the right thing to do on this particular night. I hasten to add that I had never done such a thing before either. Anyway, later that night while I was sleeping, I became very aware someone was standing at my bedroom door wanting to come in, and I felt it was this particular lady. Half asleep, I sat up in my bed and rubbing my eyes asked what she wanted, to which she did not reply. So I then lay back down to go back to sleep. Then again I awoke slightly, again feeling the presence by the door and recognising it as my friend from class. Again asked her what she wanted, and again she did not answer, so once more I lay back down to go back to sleep.

As I drifted off I suddenly felt a great weight come down upon both my legs and it felt just like someone had sat upon them very suddenly. Quick as a flash I grabbed my crystal quartz terminator from under my pillow and, holding it much like one would hold a gun, I aimed it at the presence sitting upon my legs and shouted NO!!! It disappeared immediately............

I never found out if it was her or not, but I never asked either. To me it was hostile and I believe I acted intuitively when I placed that crystal under my pillow. I have never slept with one under my pillow since, and I have never needed to either...............

The Big Brother Controversey

2008-06-20T11:52:00.001+01:00

The Big Brother Controversy

So another major row has erupted within the Big Brother House, and this time within only 2 weeks of it opening it’s doors to the public. Not such a surprise, according to world renowned Feng Shui Expert & Home Healer Eileen Rawson, of www.rawson.co.uk. As far as Eileen is concerned, it was always on the cards, from the moment the paint dried. Furthermore she goes on to say that the complete design of the BB house is based upon creating a sense of unease, paranoia, conflict and aggression.

Eileen Rawson states “that when you have a good understanding of the fundamentals of Feng Shui, and how it works, you can see the enormous impact this will have upon the day to day lives of the housemates. This year’s design of the BB house is visibly set around the theme of shattered glass, making it almost impossible for housemates to get along, thus creating a huge sense of paranoia, distrust and anger. Those with a short fuse will explode, as we have already seen with Alex de Gale - and prompting her hasty removal. While those that are normally well behaved will find it a very uneasy environment to co-exist within.

For instance, take the so called ‘luxury bedroom’ as a point in fact. The deep reds and burgundy’s would make it a difficult place to sleep well, as the colour red is very yang (active) and is known to stimulate the senses. Mainly the gut and our excesses in life, such as drinking, eating, spending etc. Red is the colour that causes our gastric juices to flow, making us feel hungry all the time - no surprise then that already one of the main causes of arguments in the BB house is food! It is also a very sexy colour, stimulating our emotions not only by creating discord and strife, but also creating feelings of arousal.

The strong supporting headboard on each bed in the BB house, will also give rise to conflict”, says Eileen. “While normally a positive Feng Shui attribute, each housemate will have a strong sense of being in charge, which in the BB house can be a negative, ie the phrase ‘too many chiefs, not enough indians’ comes to mind. Moreover the beds are positioned in direct confrontation with each other, so that even as the housemates sleep, they are on the offensive with each other”.

The layout elsewhere is mainly fragmented, sharp, pointed and triangular, most notably the central workspace in the kitchen, which in Feng Shui terms is very aggressive, with the sharpest point aimed directly at the seating area of the Big Brother house. In Eileen’s opinion this would definitely cause feelings of anger, aggression or feelings of being attacked.

The last BB house noted for its major arguments was BB6, where there was a noticeably large amount of cacti around the space, with little other soft rounded greenery or furnishings. Again Cacti is a very yang, fiery energy, creating defensiveness, conflict, and disharmony, which can leave you feeling angry, on edge or attacked.

Feng Shui is an enormously powerful tool, with the ability to create harmony or conflict - You Decide. When used as a positive instrument, it will allow individuals to progress through life in a supported, confident and successful way.

A Crash Course In Psychic Phenomena.......

2008-03-17T16:26:00.008Z

When I first started to experience psychic phenomenon, it was not always a welcome experience. One night when I was giving my daughter a kiss goodnight, I heard a loud smash. It sounded very like a glass being thrown against the wall. Very afraid, I thought someone had broken one of my windows, but my daughter felt it was from inside the house the noise came. My immediate thought was, that unless someone was loose in the house, that was impossible.

I grabbed a knife from the nearby kitchen, and my daughter and I tiptoed tentatively around the house, peering into each room as we went. Eventually we came to the bathroom, and gently I opened the door, switching the light on. Immediately I noticed a lightshade was missing from it's place on the wall. It was globular in style, much like a goldfish bowl, turned upside down, and, yes, made from glass. This particular shade was very difficult to remove, as it had very tight fixings that clipped on and off, holding the glass shade in place. Made from very fragile glass, I was always afraid of breaking it, should I need to replace the light bulb. I was surprised to see it missing from it's fitting, and looked immediately to the floor, expecting to see it broken in smithereens, but not a shard of glass was visible. Looking into the sink, I found there was no glass there either.

Then I noticed the glass in the bath, but instead of being spread out everywhere, as you would expect, particularly from the loud smash we both heard. The glass was neatly in a pile by the plughole. I could not understand it. How the shade could have come off it it's fixings in the first place was a complete mystery. But to land in the bath on the opposite wall from where it was positioned, was very peculiar. Never mind the fact that it had to bypass as shower curtain also. Most peculiar of all was all the shards lying close to the plughole, like someone had swept them into that position.

Sharing the story with another psychic friend of mine, I mentioned the shade would have to have travelled in a backward 'C' shape around the shower curtain to have landed where it did, but still did not explain the way the broken glass was placed. She then asked who in spirit had the initial C. "My mother", I replied. "Well" she said. "That is who is trying to get your attention." I then remembered a promise I had made to myself at the beginning of the year. Each year I had forgotten the anniversary of my mother's death, because of heavy emotional stuff I had being going through. This year, I promised myself, would be different. But, yet again, life was giving me a hard time...and I had forgotten my promise. The glass shade broke 3 days before the anniversary..........and it took nearly 2 years to find another shade to fit.......

The Devil Rides Out.........

2008-02-22T16:02:00.003Z

It was a dark and cavernous place, dimly lit. It took a while for my eyes to adjust, at first I did not realise where I was, but then that I saw him, and then I understood. I was quite surprised actually, as I was certainly not expecting this. But then there was no denying that he did look quite magnificent. I was aware of the need for extreme caution. Afterall, one wrong move...... And although aware of the fact that I was indeed in the presence of something, shall we say, extraordinary, I was compos mentis enough to know my place - and the danger I could be in. I looked at the plate in my hand, pure white porcelain, and then chanced a sidelong glance in his direction. I will admit my awe at the sight of him. He sat cross-legged upon a huge monolithic rock, his body strong and firm. I marvelled at such a creature, here beside me, written about by experts and layman for eons, yet few had actually seen him with their own eyes. I was also surprised at how calm I felt too, afterall was I not in extreme danger.

"I would like to share my dinner with you", he said, as he flung a piece of what I considered to be a badly cut, very rare steak in my direction. I watched it as it fell square on my pure white porecelain plate. "Err, no thank you" I replied, flinging it back at him. It left no stain upon my plate, despite its fleshy redness. Once more it landed on my plate. "I assure you my intentions are pure" he grinned. Once more I flung it back, using my plate as some sort of bat. "I am sure they are", I smiled back at him, careful to remind myself of just who I was dealing with and knowing he did not know the meaning of sharing!

He tried once more, but I was having none of it. I may have been looking at one of the most famous mythical creatures in the world, but I knew if I ever agreed to share this pound of flesh with him, that would be the end of me. No Satan, thanks but no thanks!!!

I awoke feeling quite odd. Was that just a dream, or was I really there?........................

The Energy of Feng Shui

2008-02-22T15:04:00.006Z

Now that we have entered the 21st Century we will become increasingly aware of our need to live and work within a harmonious and balanced environment. By raising the energy of a space we can bring about fundamental change in our lives, allowing us to move forward and experience a more positive, healthier and happier lifestyle.

From the time a building is designed it develops an energy all its own. Anything that happens within that building will leave an energetic imprint upon it. Over time there is inevitably a build up of negative stress that will affect all who work or live within such a space. We are all familiar with the term 'sick building syndrome'. People in such buildings are constantly plagued with sickness from colds and flus, to the more serious illnesses such as cancer etc.

Then there is 'Predecessor Law', whereby a business or relationship can seriously suffer as a result of moving into a space where the previous occupants experienced bad luck or financi! al difficulties. While Feng Shui has its place in creating a positive environment in which to live, unless fundamental change occurs on an energetic level aall that will be achieved is a short term result. By addressing the issue of negative stress, one can achieve long term, effective results, thereby creating a happier and more fulfilling way of life.

Through the utlisation and understanding of the 'Energy of Feng Shui', one can move easily and freely forward into a more positive lifestyle, experiencing success on all levels. Never underestimate the beneficial effect of clearing negative stress from your home or workplace. Imagine the benefits of having therapy rooms space cleared!

When going through the healing process, be it reflexology, homeopathy, counselling or healing, the client inevitably leaves their rubbish behind. By removing the build up of negative stress, the therapist can ensure that their client is getting the best from them, and they will feel less fatigue at the end of the day. Feng Shui is not just about hanging crystals and windchimes, it is more fundamental than that. Feng Shui is about altering the energetic imprint of your home or space. By getting a greater understanding of this, you improve your chances of a happier life with fewer problems.

UK Public Wasting Millions Per Year on a Spiritual Spending Spree!

2008-02-21T19:28:00.001Z

Now and again various reports emerge suggesting that the billions of pounds being spent in the UK on vitamins and health supplements are, quite literally, being poured down the drain. In a similar vein, world renowned Home healer, Ghost Buster and Feng Shui consultant Eileen Rawson of http://www.rawson.co.uk/ believes that the massive amount of so-called "spiritual spending" going on massages, shiatsu and other holistic treatments (a figure of over £670 million per year according to Virgin Money) is equally going to waste and not giving us the long term benefits we crave.

Eileen believes that, while these treatments in themselves are very effective, nothing but a temporary fix can be achieved until the real source or our unrest is addressed. When life is getting on top of us our priority is to look at the place we call home. Eileen, who has appeared on the BBC, Granada Breeze, and TV and Radio throughout the world, maintains that we will continue to feel stressed out and ultimately unhappy with our lives until we remove the real source of our problems, Negative Stress.

But what exactly is Negative Stress? Negative Stress can be anything from troublesome ghosts, geopathic streams, to the Predecessor Law. And any or all these issues can create problems in our lives by affecting our ability to truly rest. In the case of the predecessor law, what has gone before can leave an imprint in the fabric of the building only to affect anyone else moving into that specific space.

One clear example of this was when one of her clients began having major arguments with their spouse shortly after moving into their new home in Germany. Not only that, the husband, who previously spent many hours playing his musical instruments, suddenly could not relax enough to spend any real time in his music room. They also both felt extremely tired and stressed out since moving in, even several months down the line. In a bid to save their marriage and to discover the reason behind the husband’s sudden lack of interest in music, they contacted Eileen to see if she could offer any insight.

"I walked into the music room and immediately felt difficulty in breathing", says Eileen. "The place felt full of something dark and heavy. It felt like there was no room to move and I felt squashed, even though it was clear the room was not cluttered. I left the room immediately explaining to my clients what I had felt. The wife looked at me in amazement, stating that was exactly how she felt when she entered the room. Upon checking further I discovered that the previous family living there had a son who was diagnosed with terminal cancer, this room had been his bedroom."

"It was obvious to me that geopathic stress was present (the cancer/the arguments), as well as the Predecessor Law (emotional trauma left by previous family). This is an extract from an email I received from them shortly after the consultation."

..............we have not had one argument since you came over!! Now that's saying something we'd have at least two or three spats a week before! We are sleeping better and generally feeling more at peace and in harmony with everything in general. Friends have commented on how well we are getting along and some have even said they are envious of our relationship! On the work front it has been pretty busy too. I can't thank you enough for giving us back our harmonious personal and work relationship and space! Thank you sooooo much!.....................

In the past we would have our houses blessed before we moved in, according to our cultural or religious beliefs, and Eileen believes that this would have gone some way to helping relieve any negative problems that may have existed within a property. Traditionally catholic priests would bless a new home praying as they sprinkled holy water throughout the house. The Jewish culture would place an object called a Mezuzah on the right side of the door, within it a blessing from the Torah. The Mezuzah is touched or kissed whenever one enters or leaves the property. The Muslim culture give ‘salaams’ whenever entering a home in order to bring peace within it, and it is common place to bring food or gifts when first entering a new home. Nowadays in this modern age, we are less inclined to do such ceremonies, and therefore buildings often contain a build up of energetic problems that affect our physical lives, causing us to feel ill at ease, stressed out and finally lacking in motivation. This then affects our performance at work, our ability to overcome life’s hurdles, and can eventually cause the breakdown of previously solid relationships

Below are listed some basic ways to get an idea if a property is suffering from negative stress:

One of the simplest ways is to ask the neighbours or the estate agent if they know the history of the place, as this could give you a clue as to what the previous residents experienced.
Don’t be afraid to ask the vendors why they are selling up, after all it is in your best interests to find out.
How does it look, are there several cracks in the pavement in front of the property, do trees or plants look sick and diseased?
Has the house got a broken down and neglected look, gate hanging off it’s hinges or peeling paint.
Are there piles of rubbish lying in the front garden?

These are all indications of Negative Stress and the clues are all around us.

According to Eileen, if you ignore these issues, then all you are doing is throwing your money away. Eileen offers Home Healing, Ghost Busting & Feng Shui Seminars & Consultations.

Venue: Mind & Body Natural Health Centre, 52 Bolton Street,

Bury BL9 0LL

Tel: 0161 764 1440

Have you been searching for love without success? Does that special someone continue to evade you, or does one relationship after another breakdown? Has your present relationship lost it’s sparkle? Or are you fed up searching for the kind of love relationship you feel you deserve?

SUNDAY 2nd MARCH 2008 ……………………….. TIME: 12.30pm

EILEEN RAWSON HAS MADE SEVERAL TV & RADIO APPEARANCES BOTH NATIONALLY & INTERNATIONALLY SHE HAS ALSO APPEARED REGULARLY IN NEWSPAPERS & POPULAR MAGAZINES WORLDWIDE

Did you know that your home, your furnishings or the basic layout of your property could be a contributing factor to the overall problem? Furthermore, did you realise that your home could be your biggest ally when it comes to finding that special someone with which to share your life.

By making simple yet fundamental changes within your home, you could attract your soulmate or improve your current relationship. Cluttered or missing areas within the home can create barriers when it comes to romance. They could contribute to the sense of loneliness, hampering your chances of success, and making it difficult to formulate long lasting and positive relationships

Cluttered or missing areas in the home can all contribute to blocked or weak energy. They can even affect your reputation, make it harder to meet new people, hinder your personal growth, and lead to increased arguments and mis-communication -- all of which contribute to difficulties in your love life!

The Feng Shui of Love & Romance Workshop will show you simple, yet effective ways, to bring the passion back into your present relationship, or improve your chances of finding that special someone to spend the rest of your life with. We will examine several individual floor plans in an attempt to diagnose potential Feng Shui problems and look at ways to adjust the energy in your home so that your living space can better support you in finding - and keeping! - the perfect love you desire.

Join us today for a 1 hour talk given by Eileen Rawson on how to improve your present relationships, or even how to attract a new mate.

A Child's Nightmare.......

2008-01-20T13:05:00.000Z

A client contacted me, a few years back. Her child was having constant nightmares, which, of course was disturbing their sleep too. He kept saying he was too scared to sleep in his own room.

The initial contact came through a partner I used to work with, and as such I entered into the consultation with only the information that the child was having constant nightmares since the family had moved into this particular house and the parents needed me to get to the root of it all.

I sat down and tuned into the house, prior to the consultation, to see if I could pick up on any information that may have been forthcoming. Straight away I saw a wizened old man, skinny with a balding head. His face was thin and he had a strong, roman nose. His attitude was that of anger, and he felt his home had been invaded somewhat without his permission.

He disturbed the young boy, particularly as the child was capable of seeing him, and sensing him, whereas the parents were not. This is very common, as children do not have the hangs ups that we have as adults. When they see a ghost they do not dismiss it as fantasy. Also where spirits have passed over, but not passed on, they can feel angry and disgruntled when strangers move into their house, which is how they perceive it. They feel confused about the events unfolding around them, seemingly out of their control, as they cling to the physical world, either through fear or denial.

When I described this man to the client she immediately confirmed to me that was exactly what her son had been saying was in his room. I cleared the space using my usual techniques with bells & incense. Finally using a meditation to link in with my guides, I asked that they assist me in moving on this troubled spirit into the light, so that it could move on into the next phase without fear.

The spirit was finally allowed to rest in peace, the nightmares disappeared, the son was happy to sleep in his own bed once more, and the family were at last getting the sleep they needed and their lives back on track.....

The Family.....

2008-01-20T11:55:00.000Z

Of course our family backgrounds must have some influence on where our future may lie, and mine is Irish. Both my parents come from the Wicklow hills, and growing up, particularly when we holidayed in Ireland, which was 8 weeks every summer, the evenings were filled with stories about ghosts.

It was exciting and frightening at the same time. My mother told us about the time when she was young. She and her cousin Elsie were coming home from the local village dance late one night, when they both saw the tranditional Irish spook sat on an electrical cable by her house. The Banshee was wailing and a-crying while she combed her hair. Frightened they both ran inside afraid of what it meant. Everyone knew a visit from the Banshee foretold a death in the family, but whose? Apparently the wailing ghost was sat between my mother's house and that of next door's.

They did not have to wait long for an answer, as the poor lady next door, Mrs Murphy, got word next day that her son had died in the war.......

The First Ghost.........

2008-01-20T11:12:00.000Z

What am I doing here? Well I thought it was about time to share some of the wild and wonderful things that have been happening to me over the years. I have met all sorts of strange, weird and wonderful beings, and not a drink or drug in sight.

Now let me think, when did it all start happening, really I am not sure. I know as a little girl I always got into trouble for letting our dog, Dusty, sleep on the bed. But scary things happened to me at night, all the ghosties would start gathering and I knew that Dusty kept me safe.

The first time I really remember a ghostly experience was when I was 5 years old. I am a twin, and on our 5th birthday mum and dad let us go to sleep in their bed, which was a real treat. In the night I felt someone prodding me, and I looked up thinking it was my twin brother, but he was fast asleep right at the far end of the bed, and both our teddies were right beside him. Turning the other way to see who could be prodding me, I saw a huge clown lying prostrate on the floor, a knife was sticking out of his stomach and he was staring over at me, blood was pouring from him. I sat up in bed screaming and screaming, but could not pull my eyes away from the ghastly vision on the floor in front of me.

My father ran up the stairs, bursting through the door, he switched the light on, immediately the clown disappeared. I believe to this day that was my first experience of ghosts and the nasty side of them........ More ghostly tales to follow..............
