I have been a spiritual teacher, therapist, speaker, medium and poet for many years and have worked all over the UK and abroad. I taught and lectured at the Arthur Findlay College, Essex and at the SAGB, Belgrave Square, London, before moving overseas. I now live on the beautiful island of Gozo, opposite Malta and have students from UK, Dubai, Italy, Greece, Malta and Gozo. Many of them return and learn something different each time they come on one of my courses. Most of my students come for one-to-one tuition. My aim is to give them the tools to aid spiritual development.

AWARENESS AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT
Awareness is about the unfolding of the soul and the realisation that we are all part of the whole. Many people have such busy lives they don't know how to relax. The need for relaxation and meditation has never been more apparent and many doctors now advocate this practise. I will assist you to grow by developing your self-awareness, which helps in the process of healing mind, body and spirit. When you start to dissolve stress and attain well-being through self-empowerment, you begin to live instead of merely existing.

DEVELOPING YOUR GIFTS
I had wonderful teachers, especially my mentor, the late Gordon Higginson. This has given me the impetus and enthusiasm to pass on this knowledge to others and I have the ability to bring out the gifts that people have often buried. My retreat holidays on the beautiful island of Gozo (opposite Malta) are popular and successful. I work on inspiration and needs are invariably met, which are a mixture of relaxation and meditation, awareness and development, creativity, creative visualisation and metaphysical counselling and healing. The atmosphere is one of relaxation and harmony, which enables the student to have my undivided attention throughout the week. Many of my students say it is a life changing experience for them and I have many letters and thankyou cards, with such beautiful messages, but these are two of my favourites:

"Thankyou for showing me 'the tip of the iceberg'. I feel an inner peace already. Just from your week's teachings you've given me the foundations of my future life path. I'm looking forward to the adventures it will bring. I wish you all you wish for yourself and more! Thankyou again. Lots of love, Laurrette. PS As my mentor, friend & person I love I will endeavour to aspire to bring to my own life your many, many qualities xx"

"Sorry it's taken me so long to send you this little thankyou for the awe inspiring week I had with you. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Love John"

METAPHYSICS, a branch of philosophy, (more commonly known as Science of the mind and spirit) is the nature of being. "Who am I?" "What is my role in life?" "What can I do to help humanity?" These questions have been asked and pondered upon by philosophers, prophets and ordinary men and women over thousands of years. It is like an invisible golden thread running through our lives and is within all of us. Whether we choose to believe it or not, the need to find peace and harmony within and go with the flow of life, instead of fighting against the tide, is inherent! Life is hard enough and most people waste energy on negative thoughts. Living in the present is far more beneficial than living in the past, or continuously worrying about the future, which causes stress and anxiety. I assist people to effect positive changes in their lives. This enables them to believe in themselves, enjoy life to the full and find their true purpose.

"Your life will work much better once you begin to listen to life. Let it lead you rather than trying to push the river and trust that where life carries you, is exactly where you are meant to be. Let go of your resistance and move into a posture of surrendering to whatever is unfolding." Robin Sharma.

"Cure of a part should not be attempted without treatment of the whole.
This is the great error of our day in the treatment of the human body,
that physicians first separate the soul from the body."
Plato

METAPHYSICAL HEALING
I combine relaxation techniques, healing, creative visualization and metaphysics, which allows the person to seize control of their lives and move forward with renewed vigour. Out of any chaos we can produce harmony, but it is important that the person seeking help is ready to co-operate. Metaphysics is not taught. It has to be experienced. Nobody is perfect and even with this knowledge, we can still have the occasional negative thought, as long as we recognise this fact then we will be less hard on ourselves.
Metaphysical healing is attained, by uncovering and erasing negative images and limiting thoughts and allowing the positive images and thoughts to seep through subjective mind into body. We leave the doctors to do their own work, but healing can work side by side with the medical profession and in many cases it does.

Be a Wise Gardener!

Intentions are the seeds
that grow into our realities
seeds of intent are nurtured
by the water of life
the sunshine of the soul
be careful what you plant
in the garden of your mind

WOULD YOU LIKE ONE TO ONE TUITION ON THE MAGICAL ISLAND OF GOZO?

I have been guiding people for many years in all aspects of self-awareness and spiritual development. We will work together for five days (approx four and a half hours a day). Your evenings are free and you have a day off to explore the island or relax. Gozo is a small and unspoilt island opposite Malta and we will work in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere. You will stay in my three-bedroom apartment, next to a pretty bay, with fantastic sea views and use of all facilities. The price of the week is £280 for tuition and B&B. You will arrange your own flight. A non-returnable deposit is payable at the time of booking. The balance must be paid in full at least eight weeks before you are due to arrive.
Or spoil yourself and attend a spiritual retreat in a Gozo farmhouse, with a swimming pool and terraces. You will have fun and perhaps a life changing experience, while retreating from the outside world. Link with the child within and explore your creativity, through meditation, inner journeys, healing and creative visualization. Many therapies as an optional.
