KEY TAKEAWAYS

Grief isn’t just losing someone when they die, it could be losing a job or a house or a relationship or something from your childhood. 


Emotional Freedom Techniques is a form of counselling intervention that stimulates acupressure points by pressuring, tapping, or rubbing these points while focusing on situations that represent personal fear or trauma.
90% of what we feel day to day comes from our subconscious. We need to develop strategies that work on our unconscious mind. You never know what might trigger you, and you often don’t even know the reason something is triggering an emotional response.
Before her husband passed away, Janice was happy because her family was all back together, then he died. This led her to developing a self defence mechanism of believing that if something good happens, something bad is going to happen as well. This majorly impacted the way she lived her life and made decisions. 
Matrix Reimprinting is a tool that can get to the core of a present day problem, quickly (in most cases) and gently. It can help you understand beliefs you made in times of trauma, which no longer serve you. This can have a profound effect on your life and help you to break old patterns of emotional behaviour, which has negatively impacted your life. You can then change those beliefs into more positive ones, which will support you and help you to transform your life, drastically for the better.
Advanced Clearing Energetics (ACE) is a set of strategies that help with physical and psychological issues. Developed by Richard Flook, author of “why am I sick”. A book discussing all aspects of why we become sick and from which the ACE strategies were subsequently developed. ACE assists you in discovering the original stressful event behind your health issue, which has an enormous amount of energy in it. Using the ACE Strategies will help you find the root cause, assist you to clear the emotional and/or physical energy behind the event and help return your body to its natural energetic flow, its natural health.

ABOUT THE GUEST 
“When my husband died suddenly in 2002, I felt my life was over. The love of my life was gone. I was devastated. But now I can look back and realise that although obviously I would rather my husband be alive today, this horrendous event led me on a journey of self-discovery.
A journey, which began with a lot of reading, initially as a way of occupying my mind so as not to dwell on my loss but which soon became a way of seeking help. A journey which so far has led me to see the world from a totally different positive perspective and has enabled me to cross paths with some truly charming and interesting people.
My journey led me meandering through wonderful therapies and techniques including Reiki, Psych-K, to EFT and later Matrix Reimprinting and Advanced Clearing Energetic, all of which I now work as a practitioner and a trainer. I have experienced first hand just how much these therapies can do to help you from all manner of issues. I have also spent three years studying crystals and how they can help the healing journey.
