Online Recovery Programme Session 25

To create a harmonious space there are a few different boxes to tick:

• Freeing our space physically and emotionally to create harmony
• Honour and appreciate the things we have
• Reducing exposure to Electromagnetic fields

All of these things create a feeling that affects our energy. While we are struggling with not having enough energy it makes sense to look at what we can do to optimise our energy store.

We are all like walking radar transmitters and our body senses good and bad environments. If you have ever bought a property or been house hunting you know that you probably decided whether a place felt right or not. How do we explain that sense that we all have? It's difficult isn’t it? Yet we all have it. It is our 6th sense.

Some of us will be living in environments that actually make our physical symptoms worse. There are invisible electrical fields to which we are exposed that can affect us when our immune systems are in a weakened state.

We wanted to take a look at ways you can reduce any impediment to your recovery. In their book Powerwatch Alasdair and Jean Philips assert:

‘We believe that there is now plenty of evidence that continuous exposure to electromagnetic fields in our living environment can sometime cause serious health effects.'

Let's Talk About EMFs

So what are EMFs?

EMFs or Electromagnetic Fields are produced by all electrical systems and the items plugged into them.

There are two components to EMFs.

Firstly the Electric Field, which is always there even if the electrical item is switched off and secondly the Magnetic Field, which is produced when the item is switched on.

There has been much research into the effects of EMFs on the human body, because we have only been surrounded by them for less than 100 years and this is a very short space of time in terms of evolution.

The fact is that we all have TVs, telephones, DVD players, laptops, microwave ovens, mobile phones, the list goes on.

Elaine's Story

When your home makes you feel worse

When I was on my physical downward spiral I used to get a ‘juddery’ feeling when I was in my office. It was usually after I had been in there for a few hours. In the early days when I was well, and truly in the denial phase, I would just keep going even though I felt horrible and eventually would only stop when I felt sick or had a headache.

My office was a small room just below my bedroom. It contained a fax machine, a telephone, broadband connection and a computer that were all left on day and night.

When I made my decision to recover, I had the office stripped out of the house and had it converted to a bedroom. Our bedroom also became a technology free zone with no telephone or TV.

The space began to feel calmer and when eventually we put the house on the market, the first person who viewed it bought it. They commented on the lovely calm feeling the house had.

I learned that avoiding EMFs means that there is one less thing for the body to deal with. Eventually we moved from this house which was right next to a railway line and I moved to live by the sea. This definitely had an amazing effect on my recovery. The railway lines would have been emitting strong voltage and in my weakened state I believe this halted my recovery.

When you watch the video that accompanies this session you will get to see the way these fields are measured and even though we can’t see them, you can hear the amount of interference they give out in our homes.

Both of these fields can be measured with meters during a Home Health Survey and solutions found to get the lowest readings possible for you. Bryce is our expert and he can be contacted on [email protected]

As you recover and grow stronger you will be able to handle more EMFs without the side effects. I still to this day limit computer exposure and have protective devices on my phones and the computers I use.

But we know in today's society it's not always easy to avoid them as they are needed for so many things. So what can we do about it?

Well as you can imagine, we have been on the computer quite often while developing this programme, so we had to find a way to reduce the effects being on a PC had on us.

So we invested in a fantastic product called Energy DOTS which provide a simple, affordable means of reducing exposure. They are harmonisers which means they work by retuning the emissions from devices. I felt a big difference when I started using them, the computer didn't make me feel tired and prone to headaches as it used to when I was on it for quite a while! Every little helps!!

You can find out more about them yourself by visiting their website.

Another way to reduce EMFs is through crystals. You can use them around your PC or just around your home: they look beautiful and have so many amazing benefits. You can find out more about their healing power by Googling 'crystals and energy'.

If you doubt this just ask someone to help you clear an area of your home – you can start small with one drawer. Even if you did a little bit at a time eventually it would get done. It is good to set small goals for yourself as it helps to take the focus off the body and you will feel a sense of achievement.

It amazes me how confused and uptight I can feel when my space needs to be de-cluttered. It is not a ‘one time’ operation. With the amount of stuff we accumulate in our lives it is important to regularly free up space in our homes so we can free up space in our minds.

The old saying 'cleanliness is next to godliness' has a point as we are at peace we are more in touch with our spiritual nature.

2. Addressing tensions with the people who share our space

We can make all the nutritional changes, lifestyle changes, pace ourselves, clear our clutter and change our career but if there is a difficult relationship that needs to be sorted out it will literally drain any ounce of energy you have.

You must sort it out.

There are too many people who call or email us who have been ill for 10, 15 or 20 years. They admit that they have awful relationship problems which they are not willing to address. So they stay ill looking for cures outside of themselves.

It is sad but true that people stay in destructive relationships with partners or family members rather than face the changes that need to happen if they are to get well.

Love and forgiveness are essential for us to feel harmonious. Do everything you can to protect your spirit. Eliminating spending any time with aggressive people is a healthy activity.

3. Honour and appreciate the things you have

What is it for you? Fresh flowers - if so which type? Is it a collection of lovely crystals? Is it pictures of you in a football team or medals won way back when?

It is important to have things around us that uplift us and make us smile. Photos, books, pictures of landscapes or people. They tell the world about you. Your likes and dislikes, your passions and pleasures. They show what is important to you.They show the fun side of you.

When I interviewed Lucy London – the lovely lady who recovered by upping sticks and going abroad, I was taken by how beautifully she had arranged her rooms. They were a calm and beautiful space.

She had beautiful items that she had collected on her travels or gifts that she treasured. It was not that they were all expensive items but that they were arranged with love and each one had a special memory for her. The house sparkled with light and on the wall she had mounted a beautiful kimono.

This is a lady who has been so ill she could barely wash herself transformed into a picture of wellbeing and she nurtures her energy by having created her own harmonious space.

Just scan the room you are sitting in – tap into how you feel in this room - your body will tell you very quickly what you feel.

What word would you use to describe how you feel in it?
