» What is… Thought Field Therapy?

Dominique Buchanan turns to TFT in search of a cure for a broken heart

SweetsUnless you are very lucky, you’ll know what it means to have a broken heart, and recently, I found myself dealing with a bad case of it. Feelings of shock, loss, embarrassment, anger, loneliness, depression and despair all came crashing in on me at once. I was desperate to shut off these unbearable feelings as quickly as possible, but all the experts were telling me it was going to take time. So when I heard that Thought Field Therapy claims it can heal a broken heart pretty much instantly, I rushed to the nearest phone to make an appointment. A week or so later, Charles Stone made a visit to my home.

I had been asked not to wear any perfume or hair products prior to the treatment, as apparently these are toxins that can block healing.

» What is… Holistic dentistry?

Dr Rob Chatfield fills us in on a type of dentistry that looks at the big picture

Holistic Dentistry

We are connected to our teeth! This seems an obvious statement, but traditional dental teaching seems on many levels to ignore or at least discount this fact in so many areas.

Mercury (which makes up a minimum of 50% of silver dental fillings) is an accepted deadly toxin before it is made into dental fillings and after it is removed from the mouth as a discarded filling, but is somehow considered safe whilst in a filling in the mouth.

Crooked teeth are considered at best a fact of life or genetics and attention is only paid to making them look good, often by pulling some out or surgically breaking the bones. The question that seems to rarely be asked is, why are they crooked in the first place and how does that relate to the rest of the body?

» What is… Formative psychology

Psychotherapist and counsellor Miche Tetley introduces a simple, yet empowering, approach

Miche Tetley“Often people think that psychotherapy means talking about your childhood,” says Miche, a formative psychotherapist. “It can certainly be useful to revisit past experiences, but many people want help to change what is happening to them right now.”

Formative psychology, described and developed by Stanley Keleman, suggests that how a person shapes their body will create what they experience in the present moment. By learning to make subtle changes in the body’s organisation, through deliberate muscular movements, it is possible to create or ‘form’ a different pattern of feeling, attitude or behaviour.

» What is… Energy 4 Life?

Renew your energy with Caroline Shola Arewa

020_WA05_1.jpgMost people want enough energy and vitality to live life to the full. We don’t want to feel drained, exhausted and stressed-out all the time. And why should we when being full of energy is our birthright. Energy is the fuel humans are designed to function on. We need regularly topped up, good quality energy for optimum health and wellbeing.

Energy is the fundamental building block of life. Everyone is familiar with energy and people describe energy in different ways. How often have you said or heard others say “I feel full of energy” or “I am low in energy”? People speak of liking and disliking people’s energy or vibration. Energy is very much part of our common language.

My research over 25 years has involved the study of energy, holistic healthcare, humanistic psychology, spirituality, quantum physics and new paradigm medicine. I travelled worldwide and experienced how people maintain health and achieve success in different cultures. This led me to develop a powerful culturally diverse energy-based approach to conscious living.

» What is… The Academy of Magic

Jennifer Belsham opens the doors to a real-life Hogwarts

029_WA03_wave_whatis_14.jpg

The A.O.M.is born out of a desire to preserve the occult teachings from varied traditions, and to teach these systems in a serious scientific and academic environment. The mainstream “neo-pagan” revival has watered down the serious study of occultism into something resembling a mummy hunt, with empty rituals being employed by groups of people without any serious study of the art and science of magic.

Within the Academy’s matrix, we find many methods and semantic systems which, when stripped down to their essence, include many obscure and unusual subjects. The serious student should appreciate that this is an abstruse subject, touching on matters such as herbalism, language skills, mythology and folklore, numerology, astrology and astronomy, construction and understanding of talismans, symbolism, magical alphabets and other skills such as the obvious spell casting. Many of these disciplines are predicated upon historical perspectives, for which simply relying upon translated works or judicious use of dictionaries proves woefully inadequate!

We are approaching the subject of magic from a scrupulously academic point of view, and anticipate that our institution may be well respected as the pre-eminent university within its field.

The Academy is run by a Council of Elders, all of whom have proven specialities within their own fields. We encompass a wide range of disciplines and spiritual traditions, ranging from herbalist through rune master or vitki, native shamanism and ritual magician to Buddhism. It is our stated aim to become a repository for all forms of magical tradition.

We are conducting an occult investigation concerning the aura colour of various towns and villages throughout the country and the nature of those same communities.

We are looking for volunteers with level 2 sight (able to see auras etc) to take part and paint or draw the auras over their local town, village or community on all or any of the following six days: 20 December and, next year, 27 January, 21 March, 31 May, 14 June and 28 June. Alternatively, volunteers may choose significant days of their own.

All participants are asked to include details such as the day, date, time, the weather and what was happening in their community at the time.
