This is hardly surprising as you’re re-discovering a sense you’ve not used for a long time – maybe not since childhood! 

While there are many ways to sense what’s true for you, including dowsing and muscle testing, we’re going to focus on sensing the energy directly. This has the advantage that you can use it in your moment to moment living, for example to check:

• a menu choice – pasta? salad?
• your response to a friend’s suggestion – accept? decline?
• shopping – blue T shirt? red T shirt?

While these may seem like minor choices, aligning with your being helps you feel good, which contributes to your overall health!

You can also check the energy of bigger choices like:

• which method of healing – EFT? TAT? something else?
• which approach – self healing? facilitated healing session? a mix?
• timing – this week? next week?

Your energy system has a way to signal clearly what’s true for you – it’s just a question of recognising and tuning in to your personal signal. Here’s an easy way to do just that.

First, say to yourself – either in your head or out loud:

“Truth, my name is <insert YOUR REAL NAME>”

Take your attention inside – some people like to drop their awareness into their heart area – and check how saying your real name makes you feel….

Many people find that saying their name (a truth) makes their energy feel’ light’ or ‘expansive’. Others tell me they feel ‘empowered’ or ‘strong’. Your signal may well be something different – be open to receive it in whatever way it comes to you.

Do this a few times, to get the idea of moving your focus inside, and noticing how the statement makes you feel.

This is your signal for a ‘truth’ for you – something that aligns with your being.

Second, say to yourself:

“Truth, my name is LESLEY SHARPLES”  or some other ‘false’ name.

And check how that makes you feel …

Many people find saying a false name (a ‘lie’) makes their energy feel heavy or contracted, while others experience different responsess, such as ‘awkward’, ‘weak’, ‘restrictive, etc.

Again, do this a few times, to get a clear idea of your signal for a ‘lie’ – something that’s out of alignment with your being.

Once you’ve found your signals, remember them by mentally filling in the phrase below:

A truth feels _______  , a lie feels _______ .

Eg  A truth feels lighter, a lie feels heavier.

Eg  A truth feels empowering, a lie feels awkward.

With a little practice, you’ll soon become adept at checking what’s true for you. It’s a good idea to start with small things, rather than major life choices!

The Delicious Nugget: Recognise your signals for ‘truths’ and ‘lies’ by noticing the effects on your energy system of saying your own name followed by a false name.

As well as a general relaxing effect, I find it helps prevent a headache from developing.

Surprisingly, it’s to do with your skull. Your skull is made up of 8 cranial plates, which move rhythmically, but imperceptibly, with your breath. Tension can shift the plates from their natural position.

Simply intending, or allowing, these plates to rest back into their natural position has an immediate relaxing effect. As your skull relaxes, you’ll find your scalp and face relaxing on the outside, and your brain relaxing on the inside. As the whole of your head relaxes so does the rest of your body…

Ready to give it a go? Simply allow your skull to relax – the rest will take care of itself!

How did that go for you?

More and more of my clients benefit from a tailored blend of healing nuggets

This is usually 2 or 3 of my 11 healing nuggets – blended to meet your particular needs.

Of course naming these nuggets, and the way I blend them, is my interpretation, and does not necessarily reflect the founder’s views of the healing methods mentioned below. And you may well have encountered some of them in other modalities!

11 healing nuggets

1. First address any beliefs that hinder your healing from getting started, such as an unconscious belief “I don’t deserve to heal”.  (EFT, TAT)

2. Asking questions is very empowering – it removes the blinkers of your habitual thinking. (Access Consciousness is based on questions)

3. Similarly, incorporating the phrase ‘I don’t know how’ into your requests, and going into the theta state, opens you up to possibilities you could never think up in your mind. (The One Command)

4. There’s healing energy in the air around you, that you can easily ‘capture’ and use to heal yourself. (Quantum Touch)

5. By going into a very still space inside, you can heal things (Core Transformation form of Quantum Touch)

6. There’s a simple protocol that realigns your skeleton from the feet up. (KCR – the one thing I offer that needs to be done in person)

7. A key skill for self-healing is to distinguish what your inner guidance suggests you do, from your ego wanting to direct your healing from your mind. (Awakening)

8. Simply asking yourself ‘Could I let go?’ releases discomfort, and this is a powerful tool you can use in your everyday life to prevent stuffed emotions building up. (Sedona Method)

9. There’s no need to ‘do’ anything to heal – simply get out of your own way! (Reconnective Healing)

10. The TAT Pose takes you quickly to your ‘healing space’. (TAT)

11. At the end of a healing session it’s good to ensure that whatever you’ve healed doesn’t return. (Bars – the Restructuring Bar, or the last step of TAT – integrate your healing)

Like to experience a Delicious Blend session?

The Delicious Nugget: A Delicious Healing blend is tailored to your needs, and typically uses 2 or 3 of my Delicious healing ingredients.

It gives you a break from the chatter of your mind too!

I for one have spent most of my adult life ‘in my head’ rather than in my heart. Now I’m discovering that spending more time in my heart not only takes me to a much more peaceful place, but also reduces or dissolves any discomfort I’m feeling.

An upset with a friend dissolved into nothing in my heart.

A pain in my shoulder diminished greatly after I ‘placed’ it in my heart.

While your mind is perfect for storing and retrieving information, your heart is a gateway to other realms and resources.

Try it now!

• Become aware of a current discomfort – physical, emotional or spiritual.

•  Relax and drop your awareness from your head to your heart. Here are some ways to do this:

• lower your awareness with each outbreath until it’s in your heart
• bow your head, to disengage your mind
• place your hand over your heart
• Spend a few moments sinking into your heart, and enjoying the peacefulness there.
• When you’re ready, ‘place’ the discomfort in your heart.
• Stay in your heart, and notice what happens … perhaps some sensations, an insight, or a simple disappearance of the discomfort …

When you’re finished check how your feel – same? worse? better?

The Delicious Nugget: A wonderful self-healing tool is to place your discomfort in your heart, and allow it to be healed.

If you know you would benefit from choosing to move your body more, read on to get past your excuses.

Can you remember what it was like to feel fit and have abundant energy? To feel really alive? To sleep like a log, and wake up alert and ready for the day? All this and more is much more likely to be yours when you choose to make movement a way of life.

Our bodies are made to move – just watch young children who are rarely still!

Somehow we lost the impetus to move our bodies, and spend long hours sitting, often motionless in front of computers or the TV. Despite knowing the benefits of moving, we actually choose to stagnate!

Choosing to move beyond the excuses

Here’s the key – it’s all about choice – your choice! If someone offered you a million pounds, or dollars, for really moving your body every day for a month, I’m sure you’d choose a way past your excuses!

I don’t have time

Check how many hours a day you spend on the computer or watching TV – how about exchanging some of that to move?

Think of the benefits of movement – feeling more alert and focused likely means you’ll get through other tasks and chores more quickly, thus freeing up time.

If you really feel pushed for time, remember moving your body doesn’t have to be a separate activity like swimming or going to the gym, you can integrate it into your everyday living – try walking to the shops, some DIY, or gardening.

It’s your time, you can choose how you use it!

I’ll get onto it tomorrow

Aah, procrastination is an easy excuse! The trouble is tomorrow never comes.

However  small, choose some movement you’ll do today – how about a short walk after reading this article?

Then visualise yourself fit and energised, and plan your movement for tomorrow.

My body isn’t up to it

It’s easy to avoid moving because of a sore hip, or some other ailment. Whatever situation you find yourself in, you’ll be able to move your body in some way.

Draw inspiration from those who compete in the Paralympics overcoming great physical adversity to be supremely fit. Think of people like Christopher Reeves who did daily exercises in the hope of one day being able to move again. Your body can move, and the more you move it, the better it will get.

I don’t have the energy

For most of us the lack of movement that contributes to feeling lethargic, so it’s a question of getting moving to feel the benefits.

If you have ME it’s a question of doing a little movement, and following your medical practitioner’s advice.

I don’t have the clothes/equipment/money

There are plenty of ways of moving in your everyday clothes, that don’t require equipment or funds, such as walking, jogging, yoga, Tai Chi. Choose to look for ways to move more that suit your situation.

I’m happy as I am

Yes, it’s always easy to stay in your comfort zone! Check out with yourself – are you really living life to the full? If you’ve got this far reading this article, I expect you know deep down you and your body would benefit from more movement.

Another excuse?

I think you get the picture – simply focus on the benefits and choose your way past it!

Still stuck?

If your excuses persist, a Delicious Healing session will help change your whole perspective on moving by dissolving any sub-conscious conditioning.

Take action

Once this article is posted, I’m off to don my wate rproofs and re-start my daily lunchtime walks. I’ve also chosen to practice the Tai Chi I’m learning on Tuesdays 5 times a week. My new choice is to get up and move if I’ve been sitting at the computer for half an hour.

Be it walking, gardening, housework, rebounding, dance, cycling, yoga, Tai Chi, the gym, jogging or any other way of moving – what extra movement will you do today?

If you are currently unfit and plan to take up a new activity, check with your medical practitioner first.

The Delicious Nugget: Your body is made to move and you know the benefits of moving, so it’s up to you to choose to let go of your buts and get moving!

Do you have a niggly feeling that’s bothering you?

Instead of pushing it away which may eventually affect your health, try surfing along with it until it dissolves.

Just as the wave that the surfer rides eventually dissolves, so will your feeling. All you need to do is be with the feeling, allow it to build to its peak, and then dissolve away of its own accord. The good thing is that, usually, when you allow yourself to experience the anger, fear, pain or sorrow it doesn’t turn out to be as bad as you anticipated!

I suggest you start with a small niggly feeling, rather than your biggest fear!

You can work with the simple guidelines above, or, if you prefer to be guided, listen to my recording below.

As a bonus, this recording is also imbued with the (as yet unnamed) frequencies of the spheres – they will activate the highest healing frequency that’s appropriate for you right now. More on that soon…

To listen, turn on your speakers, press the arrow, sit back and relax!

Have you noticed how healing methods are getting simpler and quicker?

You’ve probably heard people say the most important part of healing is your intent. Experiments in the quantum field have shown without doubt that the consciousness of the observer influences the outcome.

What if you could achieve healing (or anything else), purely through your intent?

A few days ago I set off to drive 400 miles from Scotland to Cambridge. It was snowing, and the main road south closed, so long queues meant the first 40 miles took me three hours.  Being late afternoon and already dark I considered turning back, then I remembered that asking thymus energy to run would keep my energy up and my body comfortable, so I simply asked thymus energy to run. Six hours later, including just one 5 minute comfort stop, I arrived in Cambridge still bright and alert, feeling only marginally stiff when I got out of the car!

My intent when I asked for the thymus energy to run was to allow it to run in the best way to keep me comfortable and alert. I was confident that would be the case, as I’ve experienced the benefits of thymus energy before. Having asked it to run, I forgot about it and time passed quickly as the roads cleared and I listened to a long, engaging workshop on my iPod.

In this case my intent was that a ‘preventative’ healing method I’d used before would work simply through my intention, and it did!

After doing some chores in Cambridge I felt a sharp pain near the tip of my thumb, where I found a tiny cut, that kept opening up whenever I pressed my thumb (amazing how much we use our thumbs!). Fed up with this annoyance persisting for a couple of days, before going to sleep I asked for the highest healing available to me to help heal the cut. By morning there was no pain when I pressed my thumb, and the base layer of skin had healed over the cut. A minor example, however I often find it’s good to start out small!

In this case, I didn’t draw on any healing method, I simply asked for the highest available energy I could access to help my thumb to heal, and it did!  I let go of all the training wheels I’d learned through a range of healing modalities.

If healikng by intent resonates, have a go, and please share how it goes for you.

The Delicious Nugget: You can access healing purely through your intent – to ‘shortcut’ a method you already know, or without reference to any method at all.

A TV advert convinced me to try juicing, and for the next six months I started my day with freshly made juice.

So, what are the ins and outs of smoothies and juices?

Ingredients

A green smoothie is a blend of fruits and green leaves whizzed up in a blender.

My typical green smoothie includes: mango/pineapple/apple + banana/avocado + spinach/kale/lettuce + lemon slice + celery stick. Yum!

Because of the fibre content a smoothie is quite satisfying – more like a meal.

A green juice is extracted from a mix of fruits and green leaves, with the addition of vegetables.

My typical green juice includes: cucumber + carrots/courgette + celery + mango/pineapple/apple + spinach/kale/lettuce. Yum!

For me, the main advantage of juice is the sheer vitality and lightness I feel after drinking one!  I’ve also noticed that a juice including bitter greens such as kale or dandelion leaves, doesn’t taste as bitter as the equivalent smoothie.

Equipment

To make a smoothie you need a powerful blender, though a stick blender is adequate for occasional use, eg when travelling.

There’s a wide range of electric juicers on the market; do make sure you get one that will juice greens if you want to include them in your juices. The more expensive juicers are more efficient in extracting juice. Modestly priced hand juicers are also available, however it’s worth investing in an electric one if you plan to make juices often, as they speed up the process dramatically.

If space is an issue, a blender will make a smaller footprint on your work surface than a juicer (unless you get one of the new ‘vertical’ juicers). We had to put our food processor away to make room for the juicer!

A mid range juicer is likely to be at least twice the price of a mid range blender, so if already have a blender, it may make sense to start with smoothies, as we did.

Time

Smoothies win hands-down for preparation time. It only takes a couple of minutes to load and run the blender, pour the smoothie into a glass, and rinse the blender. A smoothie is always my choice on mornings when I’m in a hurry.

It takes me about 7 minutes to cut up the fruit and veg, keep loading the juicer, and then dismantle and wash the parts. On the other hand, when I do have time, the whole juicing process is now so automatic, it’s become a morning meditation!

Nutrition

With a smoothie, your body receives the whole of the fruit and greens. When the cell walls of greens are broken down by the blender, amino acids – which are the building blocks of protein that are needed for growth and repair – are released.

With a juice you get a more nutrient-dense drink, with a higher concentration of vitamins and minerals, which is helpful for cleansing and healing.

Blood sugar

The ‘whole’ food in a smoothie is more balanced since there is less concentration of the natural fruit sugars that you get with juicing. Sugar is released over a longer period, and blood sugar remains more stable.

However, depending what  you will be doing next, the quick energy boost from the more concentrated sugars in fresh juice may be what you’re looking for!

Digestion

A big advantage of juices is the ease with which the body can assimilate the liquid and all the vitamins and minerals it contains. This can be helpful when you’re ill, convalescing of have a compromised digestion which would struggle with the fibre in a smoothie.

On the other hand, fibre has a regulating and cleansing effect on the digestive tract which many people find beneficial.

Cost

If you use the same ingredients to make a juice and a smoothie, you’ll get around twice the quantity of smoothie, because the smoothie is bulked up by the fibre that is discarded from juice. This makes juicing appear more expensive.

On the other hand, since juices use more vegetables such as carrots, beet and celery, which are generally cheaper to buy than fruit, the difference in cost my not be as much as it seems when you look at the pulp coming out of the juicer!

My conclusion

Having spent extensive periods of smoothie only, followed by juice only, I now oscillate between the two as the mood, hunger level, available ingredients and my time takes me. If my digestion were upset, or I were recovering from illness I would take juices for a while. Best of all, check each day what your body would like!

The Delicious Nugget: Green smoothies and juices are both good for you – smoothies give all-round nutrition includthe building blocks of proteis from greens, while juices yield a higher concentration of micro-nutrients and fruit sugar and  are more easily assimilated and good for cleansing the body. If you have the equipment for both, check ‘Which does your body want today?’
