Festival of Light Helpers 

I would like to say a very big thank you to the new Festival of Light helpers:- Annelise, Sue, Linda, Pearl, Sheila, Laura & Adam.  And a very big thank you to Will, Charlotte and Ellie who have always helped.  Richard, Penny, Daimion & Meirion continue to support and help from the background at the moment.  Without their help there could be no Festival of Light. 

New Workshops at the September 17th Festival of Light

I will be offering my own paid for workshops alongside the free presentations at the next Festival of Light on Saturday 17th September.  A section of one of the suites will be dedicated to Workshops, Talks and Presentations to alleviate the blockages due the the number of people attending this event.  The paid for workshops alongside my own stand selling healing jewellery and power animals help to support the Festival and enables me to continue to offer free entry and presentations to all.

The first paid for workshop that I will present will be Naturopathic Iridology at £25.  Since I stopped offering all one to one consultations I have received many requests for Naturopathic Iridology.  

Includes a personal Iridology reading plus 4 eBooks on Nutritional Medicine and Iridology, printed material on your particular constitution and special eye signs. By the end of the workshop you will have a mass of knowledge on how to optimise your personal health and well being.  The first 10 people to book this workshop will receive a copy of the original Regression CD. 

The second paid for workshop will be Metaphysical Healing for All at £5.

I specialise in this very powerful way of healing which I have developed to help each person strip away that which serves to block & bind. Leave behind baggage that may have been carried for a lifetime or more.  Let the stress go and relax.

Places are limited and can be booked online at www.drelizabethanndiamond.com 

Healing Visualisation & Regression CD's

I will shortly be re-recording the Regression CD as I want to perfect it, these will be available on the 23rd & 24th July at the Mystic & Earth Spirit Fayre, Glastonbury. I've added my second CD on Healing Visualisation.  This is a 36 minute focus on the body and it's main systems, lungs, heart, arteries, veins, lymphatics, skeleton, nervous system, digestive and eliminative sytems, ending in a very healing & peaceful space. I will have these in Glastonbury and Weston-super-Mare or you can purchase online. http://www.drelizabethanndiamond.com 

Amulets & Healing Stones  

I love to work with ordinary stones, crystals and semi-precious stones.

When I wish to 'gift' a stone

I cleanse then charge and programme it, for a particular persons use alone.  

Suggestions for use

Notice how you feel when you first put the stone in your hand.

Do not let anyone else handle your stone. 

When you get the chance put the stone under running water to cleanse away any negativity.  If you can use a river, or maybe a handy waterfall that would be brilliant, otherwise the tap is fine.  You can recharge your stone in the sunshine, or moonshine.

Amethyst and Citrine never need to be cleansed but they can still be progrqammed.

You could pop the cleansed stone in a glass of water for a while and then drink the water that will now contain the healing vibration. 

You could allow the glass and crystal to charge in the sunlight.

Pop the stone under your pillow at night.

Carry the stone on your person or in your handbag or car.

When troubled, or travelling (as a passenger) or even just sitting in front of the TV or anywhere, hold the crystal (best in the hand you do not write with) turn it over in your hand and enjoy it's healing vibration.

You can also hold the stone to your third eye. 

If you lose the stone do not worry, it was time.

In the future if you come across someone you think could benefit more from the stone, pass it on.  You will know if it is the right time.

Dolphins curtesy of Wikipedia

Dolphins appear in a number of Greek myths, invariably as helpers of humankind. Dolphins also seem to have been important to the Minoans, judging by artistic evidence from the ruined palace at Knossos.

A dolphin rescued the poet Arion from drowning and carried him safe to land, at Cape Taenarum, now Cape Matapan, a promontory forming the southernmost point of the Peloponnesus. There was a temple to Poseidon and a statue of Arion riding the dolphin.

The Greeks reimagined the Phoenician god Melqart as Melikertês (Melicertes) and made him the son of Athamas and Ino. He drowned but was transfigured as the marine deity Palaemon, while his mother became Leucothea. (cf Ino.) At Corinth, he was so closely connected with the cult of Poseidon that the Isthmian Games, originally instituted in Poseidon's honor, came to be looked upon as the funeral games of Melicertes.

Young aulos-player riding a dolphin: red-figure stamnos, ca 360-340 BCE, found in Etruria, (National Archeological Museum, Madrid)

Phalanthus was another legendary character brought safely to shore (in Italy) on the back of a dolphin, according to Pausanias.

Many seals and coins show a man or boy riding a dolphin.

Dionysus was once captured by Etruscan pirates who mistook him for a wealthy prince they could ransom. After the ship set sail Dionysus invoked his divine powers, causing vines to overgrow the ship where the mast and sails had been. He turned the oars into serpents, so terrifying the sailors that they jumped overboard, but Dionysus took pity on them and transformed them into dolphins so that they would spend their lives providing help for those in need.

Dolphins were also the messengers of Poseidon, Greek god of the sea, and sometimes did errands for him as well.

Dolphins were sacred to both Aphrodite and Apollo.

In Hindu mythology the Ganges River Dolphin is associated with Ganga, the deity of the Ganges river. The dolphin is said to be among the creatures which heralded the goddess' descent from the heavens and her mount, the Makara, is sometimes depicted as a dolphin

The Boto dolphins in the Amazon River are believed to be shapeshifters, or encantados, who are capable of having children with human women.

Calcite

Calcite is another one of my favourite stones because it is possible to obtain all the colours to link with the chakras.  I have made up many powerful chakra sets in the past from natural stone, you could do the same if you wish. 

Physical  All forms of Calcite are energy amplifiers and can make you feel more energised when you carry them. Calcite alleviates skin and intestinal complaints and helps to ease the improper functioning of the kidneys, pancreas and the spleen. It helps to both normalise the rhythm of the heart and to strengthen the heart. Calcite encourages the healing of tissue and bones. Mental/Emotional Calcite helps us to trust ourselves and promotes a sense of stability and constancy which helps us to overcome difficulties and setbacks. It is particularly effective against laziness, helping to make us more energetic, industrious and successful and helping us to put our ideas into action. Calcite is a wonderful stone to use when studying the arts and sciences. Calcite can enhance our memory and is an excellent crystal for those who have lost hope. Spiritual Calcite has a strong effect in the speeding up of our spiritual development and makes us more aware of our psychic abilities and also more aware of the possibility that we may be able to channel information and to have out of body experiences. Calcite is a world teacher for all of humanity, helping us to appreciate the creative forces of nature.    Love is in the Earth - Melody 

Raspberry - From a Modern Herbal by Mrs M Grieve

The well-known Raspberry, grown so largely for its fruit, grows wild in some parts of Great Britain. It is a native of many parts of Europe. The stems are erect and shrubby, biennial, with creeping perennial roots. It flowers in May and June.

Cultivation - The plant is generally propagated by suckers, though those raised from layers should be preferred, because they will be better rooted and not so liable to send out suckers. In preparing these plants their fibres should be shortened, but the buds which are placed at a small distance from the stem of the plant must not be cut off, as they produce the new shoots the following summer. Place the plants about 2 feet apart in the rows, allowing 4 or 5 feet between the rows. If planted too closely, without plenty of air between the rows, the fruit will not be so fine.

The most suitable soil is a good, strong loam. They do not thrive so well in a light soil.

In October, cut down all the old wood that has produced fruit in the summer and shorten the young shoots to about 2 feet in length. Dig the spaces between the rows well and dress with a little manure. Beyond weeding during the summer, no further care is needed. It is wise to form new plantations every three or four years, as the fruit on old plants is apt to deteriorate.

Constituents - The Raspberry contains a crystallizable fruit-sugar, a fragrant volatile oil, pectin, citric and malic acids, mineral salts, colouring matter and water. The ripe fruit is fragrant, subacid and cooling: it allays heat and thirst, and is not liable to acetous fermentation in the stomach.

Raspberry vinegar is an acid syrup made with the fruit-juice, sugar and white-wine vinegar, and when added to water forms an excellent cooling drink in summer, suitable also in feverish cases, where the acid is not an objection. It makes a useful gargle for relaxed, sore throat.

A home-made wine, brewed from the fermented juice of ripe Raspberries, is antiscrofulous, and Raspberry syrup dissolves the tartar of the teeth.

The fruit is also utilized for dyeing purposes.

Medicinal Action and Uses - Astringent and stimulant. Raspberry Leaf Tea, made by the infusion of 1 oz. of the dried leaves in a pint of boiling water, is employed as a gargle for sore mouths, canker of the throat, and as a wash for wounds and ulcers. The leaves, combined with the powdered bark of Slippery Elm, make a good poultice for cleansing wounds, burns and scalds, removing proud flesh and promoting healing.

An infusion of Raspberry leaves, taken cold, is a reliable remedy for extreme laxity of the bowels. The infusion alone, or as a component part of injections, never fails to give immediate relief. It is useful in stomach complaints of children.

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER

 By  Erma Bombeck

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner

even if the carpet was stained

And the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'GOOD' living room

And worried much less about the dirt

when someone came to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen

to my Grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would never have insisted

 the car windows be rolled up on a summer day

because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have burned the pink candle

sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have sat on the lawn with my children

and not worried about grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television

 and more while watching life.

I would have gone to bed when I was sick

instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for a day.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil

or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy,

I'd have cherished every moment realizing that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life

to assist God in a miracle.

There would have been more "I love you's".... more "I'm sorry's", but mostly, given another shot in life,

I would seize every minute,

look at it and really see it.... live it....

and never give it back. 

In memory of Erma Bombeck who lost her fight with cancer.
