[firefaery]

I'm in the US finishing degrees. When I'm done I'll be looking to go someplace lovely to practice!

[AaronRawLeeds&Scotland]

good stuff.. what are you studying...?

[firefaery]

at the moment Integrative Medicine and Homeopathic Medicine. What I will be practicing is Homeopathic Medicine.

[AaronRawLeeds&Scotland]

nice work..

I'm in the middle of a nutritional therapy course..

you need those qualifications to be able to practice more freely..

you looking to work in the raw field somehow..?

[firefaery]

I would love to, it would be alot easier! But I have no plans to limit myself to solely raw foodists. I would love to be a part of a wellness center though! Then you pretty much know people are looking to move towards health and nutrition is a very large part of that journey.

[AaronRawLeeds&Scotland]

having people basically at the mercy of what you're offering really opens up the potential of healing disciplines.. be great to have a few onsite therapists and healers.. My big therapy that I am the pioneer of is wait for it
rolling
down
hills
therapy !!!
man that stuff is good for you.. you know rebirthing this angelic healing that..
nothing comes close to rolling down hills!!!

[firefaery]

that sounds great! I love past life regressive healings and practice now as a flower essence therapist. The energetic stuff is really where it's at...hence the homeopathic medicine, but I ADORE using EFT, flowers and things like Ho'oponopono with my clients! I use angel therapy a bit (I am more attuned to the faeries, truth be told!) Ummmm, when can I come? :D

[AaronRawLeeds&Scotland]

okay your messing with me now...!!

what's Ho'oponopono

i'm more pixyfairy as well..

maybe we can set up a new brand

It's really just a lovely practice that allows you to see yourself in the bigger picture, infinitely connected and create healing that extends far beyond yourself. I really love it.

[AaronRawLeeds&Scotland]

ahh ok.. i'm getting you now...
Just looking at the Repentance & Forgiveness diagram where quote:
a petition to Divine Intelligence to transmute memories to void. It acknowledges that the problem is memories replaying in its Subconscious Mind. And that it is 100% responsible for them. The petition moves down from the Conscious Mind into the Subconscious Mind;


The Super Conscious Mind reviews the petition, making changes as appropriate. Because it is always in tune with Divine Intelligence, it has the capacity to review and make changes. The petition is then sent up to Divine Intelligence for final review and consideration. "

!!
thats really funny, I find big parallels with the practice I'm doing at the moment.. I'm doing Dorje Sempa Practice (Vajrassatva) Skt which is all about that process.. Asking forgiveness for all your lives negative actions. Sending that wish up, asking Dorje Sempa to forgive you, fortunately the benevelence comes with purification energy, filling you up literally with Golden light.. AS you do the practice you can feel old memories welling up.. sometimes really bizarre stuff from the past.. odd occasions..
which is where this bit comes in to play

Self Identity Ho’oponopono
(Problem Solving)
Transmutation by Divine Intelligence

4. After reviewing the petition sent up by the Super Conscious Mind, Divine Intelligence sends transmuting energy down into the Super Conscious Mind;

5. Transmuting energy then flows from the Super Conscious Mind down into the Conscious Mind;

6. And transmuting energy then flows down from the Conscious Mind into the Subconscious Mind. The transmuting energy first neutralizes designated memories. The neutralized energies are then released into storage, leaving a void.


Nice stuff...
feels really familiar

I presume this is off topic a bit.. So sorry RFT...

So firefaery..

I take it you're raw then ..!

can I ask your story..?

Aaron

[firefaery]

What would you like to know? How I came to it? How long?

Basically (and this is the short version) my second child was very sick when she was born. It was a homebirth, totally natural, she was not vaccinated etc. We didn't know if she was going to make it. She was diagnosed failure to thrive and stayed that way until 15 months. I fought to nurse her, though she couldn't physically nurse....She was tube fed for the first five months and after that she still never ate very much. Her hair didn't grow, nor did her nails. Her teeth were very late coming in and had no enamel. We were being referred to child protective services because we wouldn't give her milk...which I knew her to be allergic to at any rate.

We had a doctor step in on her case and recommend allergy testing as it was felt that she might have celiac disease. She did. Things had also gotten so bad at that point and she had sustained so much damage that she had many other allergies as well. Turns out I had it too....I had been in and out of hospitals with Inflammatory Bowel Disease diagnosis after surgeries and tests. This is a very specific type of disease, but I had never been tested (shockingly since I have ALL the risk factors.)

I put our whole family on a healing diet (My kids had been placed on the autism spectrum and this seemed to be a good path) and gradually transitioned into raw. They are no longer on the spectrum and we have all healed to an amazing extent. It's been several years at this point. We have some things that prevent being 100%, but we are darned close. My daughter doesn't produce cholesterol and needs to get it dietarily daily so we do use eggs. Beyond that though we enjoy the raw life and indeed many of my husbands clients have taken the plunge after seeing what we do.

I have accumulated knowledge along the way because it was clear that *I* needed to be figuring things out-my docs weren't really helping. I found that I had a natural talent for understanding clinical nutrition, biochemistry and pathology, so decided to go to medical school. In a sense I am glad for this path, as I never would have realized my potential without it. I am an ex-circus performer and professional dancer so this is VERY different!

In doing this work I realized that no healing can happen purely on the physical level and that we all have MANY tools at our disposal. I realized that healing is always a spiritual path and the work has to happen on virtually every level for it to be real. That's where the energetic modalities come in. Since I believe that disease is simply a physical manifestation of an emotional imbalance (and not that we deserve it, but that the manifestation tends to make sense) addressing the emotions along with the actual dis-ease is the quickest path to healing.

Now I hold several certifications and work as a flower essence practitioner, nutritional consultant and spiritual counselor (at least that is what my card says!) My husband and I own a business-he is a personal trainer that specializes in functional training. We run a CrossFit facility. When I finish school we have dreams of opening a healing retreat center where people can go to be nourished in every way and start instilling healing patterns.

That's the long and short of it! ;)

[AaronRawLeeds&Scotland]

okay..

Big stories.. Big movements.. Big stuff..

But from the the pressure the diamond emerges..

And didn't you do well with that transformatinal stuff...

Mate if it wasn't for your ability to run with the pressure, the stress, well it's have been a different story..

Isn't it great that there is sense here in this world.. that there is an alternative..
And boy are we lucky to be on the right side of that knowledge you know.. I was led to living foods through my fathers illness basically.. I knew deep down it was the way to go.. If only he could have lived on a little longer...

But it put a fire in my belly.. same as you..

And yeah the only sensible obvious response to all this pain all this suffering we've come to witness, these bad ideas that we are given all day long by those apparently in the "know" is yeah.. to create the space where people are cherished, where good "apples and pears" knowledge exists as normal.. where there bodies can be fed from love from the earth and love from us..
Hence Healing Centre...

Took 5 years approx for me to work through my cooked food addictions..
But am solidly Raw now.. Still could eat/drink more greens.. but certainly not eating any cooked..

Even if you only manage to pass the message on to a few people in your life It was a life worth living.. To pass to many.. well, I fancy that story line... I'm just out of the festival party scene.. I started this course on nutritionl therapy.. first course I've done in years.. must say I still have to make peace with the 15 yr old me who won't do any homework!!


I'm hoping for funding for my idea..
I'll try and get some pictures uploaded to the web somewhere so you can see what I'm upto..


One love


Aaron

[firefaery]

I will be waiting! And crossing my fingers and toes! ;) My husband has never been to Scotland, but I know when he finally goes he'll have to have his bags packed because he will not want to leave. I would love to visit your center when it's up and running.

I'm so sorry about your father, but I know exactly what you mean. My mother has leukemia and raw has helped her so much, but when she slips things take a turn for the worst. I'm doing everything I can to support her. I do have quite a bit of fight in me!
