I guess you are aware of the fact that sometimes another person can be jealous of you.

But did you know that they can pass the energy of their jealousy into you, through physical contact with you, and that this energy can then go on to have a harmful effect in your body, causing tension in your upper arm and heart area and causing your blood pressure to rise?

As I have worked for many years in the yoga community, I have seen this happen between a yoga teacher and a student they are jealous...

They look simple in the charts, don’t they?
Energy lines running in straight lines up and down the back, parallel to the spine.
And all you do is palm them, thumb them and stretch them to enable the energy in them – in your massage client’s body – to run free, clear and unimpeded.

If only!!
If only they were to be found where they are shown to be located in the books and charts and if only the energy in them moved through them the way your teacher says it does.

Because, after twenty years’ ex...

“If you say no to a man, he won’t marry you and you will be left alone”.
“If you say no to a man, he won’t respect you”.

Over the years, part of my work has been to untangle patterns of behaviour in my clients which they are unable to control and which also, sadly, get them into trouble. Such patterns of behaviour are always rooted in either one of two places: the childhood of my client or the parents/grandparents of my client. In terms of behaviour in relationships and in particular, in sexua...

I have found, over the years of my massage and healing experience, that the feeling of ‘no one listens to me’ is an issue that crops up quite frequently in people.

It is something I have always felt in myself in connection with my own relationship with my mother, so maybe having it crop up so often in my clients is just life’s way of showing me there is something more I need to understand about this issue that I have yet to understand.

After all, isn’t that what life is meant to do? To kee...

Think of it as arriving at a friend’s house with a take-away coffee you’ve just bought at a store on the way over. The coffee is yours. You decided you wanted it. You got it and you brought it to your friend’s house with you. On arrival at your friend’s house, you do not need your friend’s permission to drink it. It’s your coffee. Not theirs.

Same with your potential to be strong and powerful.

If it is your destiny to be a strong and powerful person, capable of high achievement, it is so b...

One of the most common blockages we have to being able to get what we want in life is the subconscious belief we have about ourselves that we are not worthy enough to get the things we want in life. Subconscious because we are not in the moment consciously aware we have that belief about ourselves. And subconscious because when we stop to ask ourselves why we are not able to get the things we want, we are either unable to answer or, at best, we are unable to find a satisfactory answer.

But th...

In my latest article, published in Germany’s biggest-selling yoga magazine, Yoga Aktuell, I examine and debunk four myths about sexual energy, spiritual energy and the connection between the two, which are used by predatory male ‘spiritual’ teachers in an attempt to get female students into their beds.
The four myths debunked are:
1. Sexual energy and spiritual energy are connected and that by having sex with a spiritually enli...

A male client came to me looking for answers as to why a newly-started relationship he was enjoying suddenly and irrevocably broke down. I had known this client a number of years. I knew him to be a supportive and loving man. He was also financially sound. So, I was curious. He said he felt it originated in their sex life. Although he enjoyed the sex, he said that his partner kept telling him that the sex was not right.

I worked with my client. I checked his energies. They were clear. He had ...

Many people believe that love is the opposite of fear. It is a question often asked on social media, especially in forums and groups relating to emotional healing: what is the opposite of fear? And if you scroll through the answers, you see that most people reply: love. But just because most people say it is love, it does not mean that love is the correct answer. It’s not. And thanks to the recent Covid-19 pandemic, the reason why is not so difficult to see. Allow me to explain.

From my seminar: ‘Why Certain Parts of Your Body do not Open Easily in Yoga’

The overall condition of closed hips actually consists of four individual conditions:
1. Tightness at the top of the Adductor/Gracilis.
2. Compression in the AIIS (Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine).
3. Contraction at the top of the hamstrings (TCM BL36).
4. Compression in the Gallbladder meridian running through the glutes (TCM GB30)
These four conditions are, in turn, governed by:

A. Blocked energy in the spine between L5/S1.
B. Blocked energy in the Superior Articular Process either side of L5/S1.
C. Blocked energy at the top of the Sacro-iliac Joint.
These three conditions are rooted in:

The energetic condition in the Hara.
The energetic condition of the Hara also determines the physiological condition of the Psoas.

Finally, the condition of the Hara is determined by the energies entering the body through the Navel.

This is the reverse-engineered diagnosis of the conditions of:
Closed Hips & Tight Psoas.

So, in domino-effect, from origin to final manifestation, the diagnosis of Closed Hips & Tight Psoas (which are utterly connected) is as follows:
Navel.
Hara.
L5/S1 leading to tightness in the tops of the adductors
SAPs leading to contraction at the tops of the hamstrings
Sacro-iliac Joints leading to compression in the glutes.

Compression in the AIIS is determined by blockage in the Stomach Meridian running through the AIIS.
