THE RIPPLE EFFECT

Putting myself ‘out there’ online was probably one of my most challenging experiences ever. Even though I already had 25 years in business and had stood in front of a classroom of students for twenty-three of those, the idea of being online, looking at myself on camera with all my quirky movements was a task outside and beyond the circle and believe me that was some big circle!!

Building a brand and choosing a logo was a big part of the transition. I had no idea what I wanted or what I was talking about, so that made the work more challenging! Realising that the only constant is change, growth is imminent, and transformation is the last part of the process, the work began earnestly and change happened.

The logo I picked this time, has one single droplet of water dripping into a large water volume. The ripples represent a few things, i.e., the single drop is me the practitioner. Then the ripples are all the other people besides you the client who are touched by the work and all the various therapies and training I have undertaken over thirty years, to empower you to nourish your best self!

The colours are about, heart work, connection to source, intuition and spiritual growth. Very ‘woo woo’ indeed, some may think. But when personal development work gets underway, these areas come into awareness and growth follows.

If you are working on improving your health, starting to feel better, and more in charge of yourself, you affect everyone else in your household, extended family, friendships, workplace, and environment.

We have all, including myself headed off to a holistic practitioner or a medical person, in the hope of finding some healing for whatever the ailment at the time, waiting for a miracle, without any realisation that what we do for ourselves will impact those we live with, work with, and are friendly with. Probably most of all, the realisation that we need to participate in our growth work if we want to affect change. Nobody can do it for us, we must be willing to do the work ourselves, and then the practitioner can help.

Is that not just the best thing ever, that our personal growth work affects others? Well if you consider someone who is usually angry a lot of the time, using nasty comments to those around them, or maybe someone who doesn't talk about what is on their mind, but shuts themselves off from everyone and allows the anxiety to dictate their unhappiness, it is tough to be in their company because they bring us down too.

Those behaviours cause tension and a feeling in others that they don’t want to engage with such habits. We all have a sixth sense that gives us a message, body language in particular, about how a person might be feeling. If the energy is low vibrational, it does not encourage engagement.  However on the other hand if it is high vibrational everyone wants to be around such people!

I have been told many times that my sense of humour and uplifted vibration has been a tonic, to those who have been in my company. A really good compliment. But I can choose to be in that vibration because I know how to. That is what I teach clients too when they come for treatment.

Changes that we make following working with a holistic practitioner, or medical person, cause the ripple effect. When we feel better we give out a vibe that encourages others to feel better too.

If that is not something that you have noticed before, maybe you will have a look at it now. This is what I love about working with people, seeing them come into my treatment room feeling poorly, down-spirited, and desperate sometimes, with stooped posture then chin on their chest, then seeing them transform into calm, centred, happy people. Their body language changes, their facial expression, and their confidence. Most importantly their health improves and it only gets better and better as the days and weeks go on. 

New behaviours, new mindsets, and new thinking are all a result of time and expertise introduced by the therapist and the work put in by the client. It is a two-way door, you cannot change until you want to and then take action to effect that transformation.

Imagine that a simple breathing exercise can bring peace and harmony to a whole household! It is that easy. How do I know? because I have tried and tested it myself, to discover it works so well. But that is only one example of the ripple effect, I have lots of tools and tips to help bring about change for the better.

Offering yourself the gift of time out, and engaging an expert to guide you to better health, results in not just your transformation but that of everyone around you. 

Have a rippling day!
