Topics will include soul retrieval and the shamanic spiritual journey. For details get in touch by email on info@shaman.uk.net
I have noticed through my discussions with survivors that many survivors of 7/7 London bombings are facing difficulties with their debts mounting after 7/7. The debt has arrisen either through medical treatment, filling of perscriptions or through an extended period of time without a job.
Sound Solutions for Survivors
I have noticed that 7/7 survivors are looked upon favourably for Debt Management programmes. There are many debt management companies offering sound advice and solutions that are affordable.
Debt management is available for 7/7 survivors with a minimum of £100 per month depending on the circumstances. Rules and conditions apply for this scheme.
The time is now!
Horses live in the present. They hold no grudges and bear no malice. We need to focus on the here and now, tomorrow hasn't happened yet and well, yesterday has been and gone. We can't change the way we have ridden in the past or the methods we have used to train our horses. We can however, move forward and use a better way, the way includes greater communication with our horses.
Horses are a great example of just that - being in the today, the now, its a gift that's why its called the present.
What about trust?
I do not want that to happen in my district here… so I am preparing for the future, with food gardens and meditation rooms…this is what I can do…. what can you do?
My own journey forced me to trust myself with my horse. In the departure of my physical prowess, losing my sense of balance and suffering with meniers dis-ease, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and dysphasia, I welcomed the arrival of faith and trust in my horse.
Leaving the old lessons behind, the military tradition of dealing with horses involving "pain". using pain a horse will only do so much, never trust or respect you. The shamanic Mother Earth belief systems is challenging, but gentle, using pressure and release as the reward. Pressure only and never pain.
Trust and respect is born from within, the internal workings of the mind. your horse needs an awakening to enable them to trust you as the herd leader.
Being the herd leader demands absolute commitment from you, such commitment to the point where only absolute trust and respect is required by your horse, it must become second nature to him between you and the outside world.
Through the ‘bush telegraph’ I am hearing stories everyday, eye witness accounts of the leap of faith horse owners are taking by trusting their join-up capability and "herd leading" their horses.
I've met riders that have never sat on their horses bare-back, never ridden their horses without the kitchen-sink in their mouths, never ever in a plain halter with no headstall/bridle.
I hear comments like "He will not listen to me if I don't have a bit in his mouth" and " She will just take-off if I don't have a saddle and bridle on" also my favourite one "I don't trust what my horse may do ..."All these comments illustrate to me that the connection between horse and human is not complete. time has not been taken to "sack-out" or desensitize the horse. The manner and respect on the ground are not there, as such, more work needs to be done on the ground, before continuing from the saddle.
A negative attitude will do wonders for the horse-monster lurking in the mind becoming the thieves of time. Thinking of what could go wrong with your horse is not productive and seldom useful.
No more drama's
Many people actually like drama. When have you been part of a yard where there is one rider that has the worst biter, the worse rearing maniac, the worse bucking bronco and of course the worst uncontrollable speed-freek? Sound familiar? The horses have been conditioned, they act up and the rider or owner will reward them with "release of pressure" telling the horse that was the correct answer to the question (the pressure) and so they learn.
Respect and trust are safest for both horse and rider. I prefer to call teaching the respect and trust between the horse and rider partnership as "gentling" horses. Two eyes are better than two feet. We want those two eyes to be looking at you constantly. Couple that, with an ear or two in your direction and progress is being made. Add a little licking and chewing - then you're talking horse!
Make a plan to motivate yourself every day to get to know your horses personality and bridge the gap between negative thoughts with positive actions. There is no guarantee that both horse, rider or owner will respond quickly, changes to perception and the "old school" way of training horses takes time.
Speaking horse will make a large difference almost straight away. You are the only person who can determine the relationship between you and your horse.
If you are interested in discovering natural shaman way of horsemanship, post me a comment in order to discuss the fees for a visit to your yard.

A shaman meeting place has arrived on our scene - with the success of FaceBook a new social site has emerged called http://www.soulalert.com/
Psychic 's or shamanic professional users can create their own psychic or Shaman profile within the forum. The profile can offer psychic or shamanic services.The site is supportive and will meet the need for spiritual enquiring minds.
Eventually, soulalert.com will be the destination for spiritual psychic and shamanic seekers everywhere.
Go and have a look for yourself................
The day we were blown up....
I recall it was a murky, damp hazy and unseasonably cool in the early morning of 7th July being a Thursday, in 2005.
I got onto my later train that day, on the London Underground system (LU, known colloquially as "the Tube") little knowing what I was to face.
I soon realized that the smoke from fires within the deep tunnels, which are up to 30 m below the surface, would have nowhere to go except the stations. The tunnels gave us a mere clearance of only 15 cm around the train. The deep tunnels are 3.5metres in diameter, which felt even smaller to me, like trying to push a sausage through a piece of macaroni!
The extreme explosion seemed to gain additional power and force, by being detonated in a confined space. The sparks and debris bounced and trickled it way along the steel line of the carriage, the bogey acting as an anchor, lay buckled and broken.
Silence for minutes...
I was deeply afraid to look around me after I became conscious again. It was about 10 minutes at most from the time of the sudden stopping and the plunge, being thrown forward – then nothing but a ping sound and blackness, deathly quiet, just a small sound of ringing in my ears.
There was silence for a few seconds.
Then, at first quite low and soft, terrible screaming from somewhere in the tunnel.
I heard my voice and other voices saying: "Don't panic, keep calm". I took a woman's hand and we struggled to stand. Disoriented, unable to see or breather, almost as if we'd been plunged into the bowels of the earth, I scrambled to my feet.
I felt a warm sponging feeling in my face and in my mouth. I clenched my teeth and realised that they were not where they should be. Where were they then? I felt feverishly with my tongue, found the bottom teeth. I took all my strength left in my face and squashed them back into place.
Using the light from my opened flip-top mobile phone handset, we were just able to make out a feint outline of each other.
Time to escape ...
Those of us who could still walk, moved forward in single file. The driver forced open his door, pulled out the steel stairs from a hidden place under the train – our escape stairs, ready and waiting.
I notice as I looked through my teary eyes, an enhanced and increased type of power. My so-called 'compartment injuries' were more from within. Some of us in my carriage were badly affected by inhalation of smoke and dust, hence my left lung tumors, called “the little passenger”
Have a look at an interview on the day at the memorial to those that lost their lives on:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8141155.stm
A survivor of the London bombings, who lives in Ashford, is disappointed that she and fellow survivors may not get to attend the unveiling of a memorial on Tuesday July 7, the fourth anniversary of the terror attack.
Beverli Rhodes, 47, of Kennington, has written to the government asking why, as a survivor, she has not been invited.
The Assistance Centre, set up for those affected by the London bombings, has posted a message which reads:
"Ticket numbers for the opening event are limited due to the site topography and therefore priority for attendance has been given to the families of those who died."
Ms Rhodes has today (Thursday) written to the Department of Culture Media and Sport, which is organising next week’s event, asking:
"Are the survivors not part of the unveiling?
"Is it only for the family members of the bereaved?
"When are the survivors getting access to the permanent memorial?
"Many survivors can’t stand for any great length of time, will they be allocated seating?
"Why have many of us not heard from the Home Office as we usually do each year?"
Ms Rhodes suffered facial injuries in the bomb attack on a tube train under Russell Square. She continues to require treatment for her injuries and has set up a campaign group for victims of terrorism, the Survivors Coalition Foundation.
The bombings on July 7 2005 were a series of coordinated suicide bomb attacks carried out by British fundamentalist Muslims on London's public transport system during the morning rush hour.
Just before 9am, three bombs exploded within 50 seconds of each other on three London Undergroound trains.
A fourth bomb exploded on a bus nearly an hour later in Tavistock Square. The bombings killed 52 people, the four suicide bombers and injured 700.
Thursday, July 02 2009
Tomorrow see's the dawn of the 4th anniversary of the tragic 7th July London bombings.
A blessing ceremony will be held in Ashford at sundown, lead by Shaman Beverli Rhodes.
Update:
The blessing ceremony was very calm and quite serene. At the end of the
blessings and prayers a sign of acceptance was requested.With the request at the Buddha shrine in our sacred garden many white cabbage butterflies and 5 bumblebees flew towards the statues. They danced around those giving prayers and sending blessings. We took that to be the sign and felt a great sense of fulfillment....
Michael Jackson will be finally be laid to rest. We wish him the stillness of the soul that he may heal from his many wounds, emotional, spiritual and physical. Rest in absolute peace remembered in all of our prayers and healing lists, blessed be. A Shamanic ritual will be performed to coincide with his funeral. Rest in peace Michael Jackson.
Anyone wishing to be part of the blessings ritual please send me a note.
Thanks for viewing my site.
Where do I start... I guess at the beginning.(I will update the narrative and go through each phase of my life - so keep checking back as it will change) Let me know your life experiences. We may be more similar than you think ...
In the beginning
I am 9th generation shaman born on the tiny muddy island called Great Britain. My mother, her mother and her mother's mother before that were all shaman. In those days, they were known as an Ollum or the "Wise Woman" in the village. The spirit of the old ways was strong in them, the very fibre of their existence.
No sibling rivalry ...
My super-blank siblings, never followed the path, indeed, had no interest in allowing the spirits of the ancestors or other world Spirit and elemental (faery beings)to come to the fore. I was lucky, from the age of 4 I had the gift of healing and "second-sight". When I opened the vortex of channelling, there was a therapeutic verily stampede of souls and beings wanting to make contact and "talk" all at the same time.
Initiation at 13...
Later, as I had light impulses coursing through my mind and soul, I had to fight between good and evil during my initiation at the age of 13. Pure evil can only exist when good people do nothing. So ... I did something for the greater good!
What you'll find here...
No holds barred commentary, sometimes scrambling one liners, yet, down to Earth (Mother Earth) rites, readings, initiations is what you'll find in my site.
