Stuart came to Reiki 16 year ago when his wife had a treatment. Upon seeing instant improvement, they embarked upon their reiki training journey, setting their intention on helping and supporting as many others as possible.

Through this he set up a weekly reiki share, where individuals of all levels of experience come together to share the gift of reiki with one another, healing and supporting each other in their understanding and growth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

BEST MOMENTS

• “I cannot help every single one, but we can help one. And if each of us help one person, I'm sure we'd make the place, you know, the world a better place.”
• “At the time my wife had, problems with her mental health, and it helped her change the way thinking more or less overnight.”
• “And then when you’ve taught them all they need to know, they completely change. You become more confident, more outgoing, you know, and that's the whole idea of these things.”
• “And when she passed away, it was, I will honestly say, it was some of the darkest times of my life ever. And then I sat there one night thinking, well, yeah, okay, I've lost somebody, but they have as well. So, the students have lost a mentor, a friend, a confidant, that sort of thing. So, I went back and opened the doors, and it was one of the hardest things I've done.”
• “Reiki gives you that bit of extra confidence.”
• “Healers need healing too. It's as simple as that. We are not infallible; we are only human. For me, there's five, ten minutes, you know, sitting down, cup of coffee, hand on your heart, just topping your energy up.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with John Bowtell who helps individuals explore their emotions through the use of drama and play using developmental transformations.

Through his theatre background, John became aware of dramatherapy, a type of psychotherapy; and how the intentional use of drama techniques and ideas could assist in the therapeutic encounter.

During his work with his clients, John becomes a part of the unfolding drama to safely co-create the experience with his clients, exploring whatever roles or scenarios are relevant to meet their therapeutic needs at that time.

• Drama therapy can be used to explore different power structures within our lives and within society.
• Play is important for wellbeing.

BEST MOMENTS

• “It's something that kind of comes naturally. So, I think of drama as an art form. It's the one that's closest to normal life. So actually, we're all doing, you know, we're doing an improvisation now. We're playing our roles, we're performing. This is very natural human activity.”
• “But in order to do your role effectively, it's going to change in relation to your client. So, the way that you show up for one client is different from the way you show up for another client.”
• “It's much more fun playing the bad guys, playing the people that you're not, right? And you can then present aspects of yourself that are not socially acceptable or they're not potentials that you can bring forward in your everyday life.”
• “These things, if they're unexplored or unexpressed, then they can cause blockages in us.”
• “Basically, we agree it's pretend. We agree that it's play. It's not for real. That's the deal. It's defined by restraining from harm.”
• “This is a kind of everyday miracle to me. That however heavy the material is, actually it can all be played with, and it can all be transformed.”

And I thought she was referring to that.”

And you make lifelong friends, and there's those people that I know if I'm ever having a bad day, if I'm struggling, if I'm feeling overwhelmed, we’re there to support each other, to help each other, to guide each other and just bring each other back onto our paths.”

• “As I entered Tennessee, I started hallucinating, which incidentally got me onto realizing how the brain works, how we've got one brain, but two halves, you know, you've got the conscious brain and the subconscious brain. So, for two hours, I was driving completely hallucinating, there was demons getting in the car. There were all kinds of things happening. And people were trying to climb in, I couldn't see, taillights looking like demon's eyes and looking at my sat nav, I drove two hours without realizing where I was.”

• “I guess what led me into, you know, like coaching throughout my journey was really that desire to explore and to explore people in particular.”
• The first step, I believe, was a workshop I was lucky to attend from work, which was discovering your purpose and then I really reflected deeper, dipping into my childhood, into my crucial moments in life, into my strengths.”
• “It's a massive change. That really helps you being resilient because you can always get back to that purpose. And it kind of supports you and drives you.”
• When, a firefly is at threat, the light is off. And actually, when other fireflies help her, the light comes back on. And so, my idea is developing our inner strengths, our resilience to switch on our light. And if sometimes it's difficult, allowing other people, or other fireflies to continue with the metaphor, to actually inspire us. And so, it's all about for me, inspiring each other so that we continue to be in that field of fireflies.”

• “Reiki one was such an enlightenment really because we had case studies to do, basically working on family and friends. They were my guinea pigs, but they were all completely blown away by the experience. And I was completely blown away by the experience. How can something like that be so powerful?”
• “If there's something that doesn't feel right, you have to listen to that and act on it and know that you can change the way it's making you feel. So, if you're in that job, that feels rubbish, there are ways out it. There are always opportunities. You just need to keep your mind open.”

• “And as I always say to people when I teach, one of the things you start looking at is yourself. You look at how you affect people, but also how people affect you.”

• “Life is a complete journey of self-discovery.”

• “Memory is not just the physical ailments. We know that you can carry cancer or neuron diseases, et cetera, but it also carries emotion, mental issues, memories.”

• “I'm so surprised, I never in a million years thought that I would be resolving my stuff from a physiological point of view, coming from the physical. Being one that has really avoided anything to do with exercise over the last 30 years, other than perhaps lifting a guitar cabinet on stage in my previous life as a musician.”
• “We're all unique and we're all different. And I find it fascinating watching everybody's journey and what works for them and what doesn't work for them. And also watching people unfold and change and evolve.”
• “And people still now, they will message me, people that I don't know, to say how my book has impacted their lives, which is just, I never expected that at all. I expected half a dozen friends to maybe read it.”
• “Well, I'm sure maybe I was reluctant to sign up and then they said, ‘Well, I'll tell you what, before you get round to doing all this, we'll leave you a period where you can, play in a band, go on a tour around the world, have beers and food, groupies, and do your little fun bit, and then you've got to do your spiritual stuff.’”

• “I'm so passionate about getting people together, to be able to give them that space and time away from their busy lives, just to be able to switch off. I have realized over the years, I'm very good at holding space for people.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Nawab Pasnak, the head of the International Sufi Movement.

During this conversation Nawab will discuss how he came to learn about the Sufi movement and how this led him to be a seeker of wisdom as he embarked on a process of purification, unlearning preconceptions and dogmas that he had been carrying around with him.

Nawab focuses on the importance of working on ourselves, unlearning the preconceptions and limiting beliefs that hold us back so that we can connect in to love, hope, and joy. A significant aspect of this is through connection to the breath and our intuition guiding us to recognise we are all connected.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The attitudes and assumptions that we learn throughout life can become a barrier to true connection with ourselves.
• When working on the heart it encourages compassion, kindness, generosity and acceptance.
• For our happiness, we need to recognise that we can control our mind, and we can change it.
• Our breath is a current of energy that flows through us which his directed through our words, thoughts, actions and feelings.
•  When we listen to our intuition, we discover a connection that we are part of everything and everything is part of us.

BEST MOMENTS

• “So if we think that Sufi is about wisdom, then it means that it's someone who is looking for wisdom, not somebody who claims to have wisdom, because anybody who says they're wise is obviously a fool.”
• “There's a couple of chronic illnesses that the world suffers from right now. One is that we think too much, or we overthink everything. Another is that we're extremely materialistic. We try to quantify and measure everything, and it's all in terms of our sensory experiences, which is always limited, that can only take you so far. And the third illness, common chronic illness that we suffer from, that the world suffers from, is to have a frozen heart.”
• There's meant to be a stream, a well that flows out of the heart, but you have to dig for it, because often the well has been, you know, there's a lot of sediment in there, and you have to dig down. And if you're willing to do the work and get through the mud that you do encounter when you start to excavate your heart, then in time the stream flows, and that flowing helps to purify the channel.”
• “If you're playing with a child, if the child says something rough or hurtful, well, you wish they would behave better, and you try to teach them better behaviour, but you don't feel crushed because a child says something rude to you. Well, in fact, most of the world, with all love and respect to them, they're still children."
• “The spirit of guidance works on different levels. On the physical level, spirit of guidance, you could say is about reflexes... When the Spirit of Guidance speaks through what we call our mind, we call it intuition. And if we listen, our hearing becomes sharper. We begin to hear more messages.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Scarlett who is a mental health practitioner working both privately and within the NHS.

After doing a fine arts degree, Scarlett had planned on becoming a teacher. During this time, she sadly lost her brother, and it sent her on a different trajectory. She ended up caring for the elderly and this led her on a path of training as a therapist.

This journey has invited her to explore a process of self-discovery, making a commitment to self-healing and self-compassion, something which has given her a deeper understanding to support her client’s needs.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Self-expression and creativity can be beneficial for mental health and well-being.
• As well as having goals to work towards, it is also important to enjoy the journey along the way.
• Surrendering is an art that, when practiced, allows for space to be created and situations to unfold organically.
• By relaxing the body, it can help to relax the mind.
• Therapeutic work is a journey that goes at a varied pace at different times of your life.
• Acceptance can help to reduce resistance.
• The body gives us messages when things are not right.

BEST MOMENTS

• “Which I hadn't thought, when I first went into training, I was like oh, I've done a fine art degree, what's this got to do with it? But yeah, over the years I see it as probably one of my greatest assets, actually having that background. And the beauty of doing a fine art degree is that it is a lot about self-expression.”
• “One of my biggest lessons, certainly in the past few years has been around that surrendering into process as well, and that's, you know, and I still journey with that now there is no finished article, is there?”
• “I feel that when my body can let go, my mind then goes, Oh, okay, I’ll follow suit.”
• “Over the last year I’ve had a period with a breathwork facilitator. And that for me has been such a tonic. It's been a real eye-opening journey into my relationship with myself.”
• “You know, you work with one layer and then there's another one and another one, you keep peeling them back. And for me as well, there's something about that. As much as we're learning, we're also doing a heck of a lot of unlearning.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with John Armitage, a therapeutic practitioner that is qualified in a number of therapies including Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Craniosacral Therapy.

During this conversation Debbie and John will explore the stress response and how feeling stressed and overwhelmed provide us with a message about what is not working in our lives. They will also explore how they learn, and discuss how the ways we attribute meaning to our experiences can impact how we feel about them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Immersing yourself in an experience using all of your senses can be a really powerful way to learn a new skill.
• We can gain feedback from the world around us through using all of our senses.
• We need to adapt our way of communicating depending on who we are communicating with to ensure that they understand the information we are conveying.
• Our beliefs impact the way we learn and interact with others.
• A variety of experiences can be therapeutic.
• Stress can be an expression of what isn’t working for us.

BEST MOMENTS

• “How do you acquire a new skill, a new therapeutic approach? I'd be fascinated to know, maybe you've thought about this, maybe you have broken it down for yourself.”
• “So, as you say, you know, you'll see things, you'll hear things, you'll smell things, you'll feel things. There's a relational aspect to that. So, you're kind of recognizing that all of that's going on and it's going to happen anyway. You don't necessarily need to intellectualize about it or theorize about it.”
• “It's the age-old thing for me of that balance between theory and practice.”
• “But there are all sorts of things in life where actually it then starts to become a little bit more difficult to draw those distinctions and one of them might be you know, what's therapy and what's not therapy?”
• “And very often I'll find myself saying, if we're getting into weird territory, that's usually a really good sign. The weirder it is, probably, you know, the more interesting the territory that we're getting into.”
• “I'm curious about how we bridge those expectation gaps. Because, you know, if we can, there's a way that I think we can reduce the amount of time sometimes we spend helping individuals to acclimatise to ways of looking after themselves or ways of going through a process of change.”
•  "Being open to recognizing that sometimes how we think about something is 99 percent of how something is."

• “Well, lo and behold, about two weeks, I got a message to say that his son carries the bottle around with him. And it's the first time he's felt relaxed and he's great.”
• “If you've got like cuts, wounds, anything like that, lavender is fantastic because it will protect your cut. It'll protect it from bugs, bacteria, and it's good for pain relief. It's antibacterial.”
• And I think there's a lot of positives, with the young ones. I know you hear a lot of the older generation complaining about them, but they are becoming more conscientious about health, about well-being, about caring for one another.”
• “If we've relied on all the herbs and all the healthy stuff now, alongside us having clean water, alongside us having food that we can keep without it going rotten and horrible. And now that we've got more knowledge of how things work, if we put it all together, wow, we'd be healthy.”

• “That's the time when I started to find out more about me, and who I was rather than being somebody's mum and somebody's wife, it's the time when I started to find out about me.”

• “But this is something that's fascinated me for years. It's this idea of lunacy. Well, lunar is about connecting with the planets, the moon, the shifting of all those sorts of things. And why are we naïve enough to believe that if the lunar cycles can shift oceans and tides, why can we not be shifted by that?”
• “If people were taken to a tribe somewhere else who understood this idea of voices, seeing things, they would be revered as quite shamanic, quite insightful, quite connected to different things.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Kirsty Socik, who is a therapist that specialises in Belief Coding ©.

After Kirsty suffered a number of traumas in her younger years, she began to go off the rails. However, through making a decision that she was not going to allow her past to ruin her future, she embarked upon her therapeutic healing journey, receiving help from a local hypnotherapist. This sparked her passion in therapy, encouraging her to pursue learning various therapeutic models including hypnotherapy, nutrition, and NLP.

Through this journey Kirsty began to realise that our health and wellbeing can be impacted by what we are feeding ourselves, not only in terms of the food we digest, but also the information we accept as true and the limiting beliefs and thought patterns we hold as fact.

• “I thought, I want to be like that. I want more for myself. And I made a decision that I wasn't going to ruin my life no matter what I'd gone through.”
• “I noticed a big difference in my personality, which I thought was something that was static. But actually, I realized I'm not this person that I'm being, and I was able to find my way back to myself.”
• “I know that my heart wouldn't be as kind as it was if I hadn't been through the things that I'd been through.”
• “One thing I found really helpful for me is to think back to when you were a child, what did you love doing?”
• “You really do become the best kind of person that you can be when you when you get rid of all those heavy feelings.”

• “And I believe in people. I believe people are inherently good. And I believe people have the answers within themselves. And it's my mission to help them find those answers.”
• “We're always changing and always evolving and we have to embrace that. We have so many layers, don't we?”
• “You know, there's always a dark side to the moon when you're a spiritual person. And I'm always aware of that. It's always with me, always in my peripheral.”

• “When you succeed, there's a resonance within your body.”
• “You can just turn around and say, I'm not prepared to be involved with people who are negative. I'm not prepared to be involved with people who are vindictive. I'm not prepared to people who impinge upon my personal deep happiness.”
• “Because the spiritual is to search, it's the seeking of, it's the looking for, it's the finding of, the exploration, it's the Edmund Hillary, it's the Scott to the Antarctic, it's Neil Armstrong to the moon, that's the searching.”
• “You don't need to know everything, and you don't have to be perfect.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Helen Robinson who is the creator of Gentle Release Therapy - a therapy which draws on the fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine to assist the body and mind in releasing stress and tension.

After losing her parents and having difficulties with fertility, Helen began researching to find answers to help her conceive. This led to her changing career and becoming a complementary therapist.

Over time her treatments began to evolve into something unique, and Gentle Release Therapy was born.

Taking inspiration from her dad who had created a traffic control system which in turn helped to grow a community, Helen decided it was time to teach others this modality building a community of Gentle Release Therapists.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Everything that happens in the body is energy.
• Traditional Chinese Medicine can give connections and answers that Western medicine fails to identify.
• The body can react physically during emotional detox.
• The organs in the body correlate to different emotions.
• Everything in the body has got a purpose and a function and it all works together.
• We can connect to and feel our own and others energy.
• Therapeutic work is really beneficial for maintenance as well as in crisis.

BEST MOMENTS

• “And ended up doing this treatment that no longer resembled anything that I was trained in. So people were saying, are there any books about what you do? And I was like, well, no. To be honest, it hasn't even got a name.”
• “When we go through difficult situations in life, whether it's sort of infertility or losing people, it often allows us then to start reflecting inward or to go beyond the current medical model or knowledge to find out what else is out there.”
• “The liver is key because it's connected to anger and frustration, all the ligaments and tendons in the body, the free flow of qi or energy around the body, and where qi flows, blood flows.”
• “And I think the first time I ever saw a meridian chart, which is a chart that basically shows the energy lines through the body, I was just absolutely fascinated with how it's all so interconnected.”
• “I'm quite happy that we don't always need to know what it is that's going on. But sometimes I'll get, If you get a nagging that you need to say something to someone, I'd always say it.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Carol and Don Harradine who practice Tai Chi, Qigong, and a range of Malaysian arts.

A number of years ago Carol suffered an injury during a sword fencing competition. Looking for gentle exercise to aid her recovery, she stumbled upon a Tai Chi class. After they both attended the classes, they were amazed by the benefits, which encouraged them to pursue 33 years of studying various energetic wellbeing practices. As part of this journey they have followed the Sufi path, helping them to incorporate a spiritual element to everything they do.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Tai Chi and Qigong can be used for spiritual development, health and wellbeing, concentration and self-discipline.
• We get the most benefit when we practice any well-being and healing practices regularly.
• Having an awareness of the breath helps with healing and balance within the system.
• There is an overlap and a connection between different philosophies and forms of well-being practice.
• The breath is the essence of everything.

BEST MOMENTS

• “So there's no excuses anymore for people saying, I can't do that. As long as you can sit up straight or lie straight or whatever, you can breathe and you can concentrate, then you can do qigong, tai chi.”
• “It's really trying to be a pupil of humans because what you have to do is you listen to people and find out what they want to achieve, what we think they need. And then we try to give them that. It's easy being a teacher, but the truth of it is, you've got to go back and you've got to be a pupil, you've got to study and you've got to study the people that come along to you.”
• “If you can breathe properly, if you can just imagine for a while that what you're breathing in is not just gas and chemicals, but it's an energy.”
• “So you're breathing that energy in. And then you're moving that energy around the body, and you know, and some people take it further, they move the energy around and they give it to other people.”
• “Trust me, your mind wanders off and you have to bring it back. It's one of the most hardest things. So all of this is teaching you willpower to do that.”
• “To get the real benefits, you have to do a little bit very often, a little bit, and the old Chinese masters always say, it's like putting down a piece of rice paper on the ground, put a bit down one day, two days, three days. After a year, you can actually see you've got a pile of paper.
• “So, when you start to think about your thoughts, and then to say those thoughts, you have to have breathe to say the thoughts, to say the words, and that then gives you the impetus for the good deeds."
• “Get to the nuts and bolts of them all and dig deep. You'll find the same message and philosophy going through the whole thing.”
• “Live your life by that, good thoughts, good words, resulting good deeds.”

• “Also, very importantly, in the 90s, I became a go to PR agent for the emerging new age, as it was then, and seen as very out there, personal development gurus.”
• “You know, quite a humble background. My parents were grocers. I lived above the shop in my early years, and I went to a comprehensive school, so this was not really my world.”
• “And most of them were Buddhists, they were macrobiotic, they were vegans, they were into Ayurvedic medicine, and acupuncture, and Shiatsu, and Kundalini Yoga, and all these things I'd never, ever heard of. And again, my mum thought I'd absolutely joined a cult.”
• “It's quite depressing seeing you because I'm just a sticking plaster, and I'm not sure if you're going to have the physical or the mental breakdown first.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Annie Grace who has a passion for helping people to connect to spirit and develop their mediumship abilities. Annie’s fascination in mediumship and readings was sparked at 18 years old when she had her first reading.

• Common ground can be found with those who have different viewpoints to us.
• Past Life experiences can re-surface in dreams.
• Our experiences from past lives shape our present lifetime.
• When we become triggered we can explore those feelings and responses by asking key questions such as ‘Where does this come from?’ and ‘What do I need to do to be able to release this?’
• When developing ourselves spiritually we have to accept the environment that we live in with both the opportunities and constraints it provides.

BEST MOMENTS

• “And for ages I was like, no, I never had this as a kid. It wasn't something where I was seeing dead people at the end of my bed. But then actually looking back on it, I remember the amount of times at home where I'd just get up in the middle of the night and I was just adamant that the TV was left on somewhere because I could just hear a conversation in the house between two people.”
• “I just picked up loads of stuff and you know, one woman next to me, her face just kind of dropped. She went, Oh yeah, that's my grandma. And I was like, Oh, okay, cool. And then after that I was just hooked. I really was just like, I have to do this. I have to do this. This is the most exciting thing I've ever done.”
• “And once you have the connection, it never goes away. That's the beauty of it, is that you'll always have that connection.”
• “I had someone that talked to me about it, a colleague last year and he was kind of asking me about it. And he was a massive atheist. And I just kind of said to him, I was like, I didn't want to change his mind or anything like that. It was just an open conversation about it.”
• “It's just like a massive library full of all their records. Everyone's is slightly different and it's so weird. Some peoples are very futuristic and modern so you know that they're from like a different star system. Some people like you walk in, it's like a jungle. So you know that they've had like a lot of real primal tribal earlier lifetimes that they're really connected to.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be chatting to Kieron. After the loss of his mother, Kieron began to suffer from panic attacks for the first time in his life. Searching for a solution to bring him back to himself, Kieron tried floatation. From seeing the benefits of this therapy first-hand, he decided to set up Go Deep Floatation just outside Lincoln to provide this service to others.

During this conversation Kieron shares the many benefits of floatation and its ability to allow for sensory enhancement and deep relaxation, something which we often fail to obtain in our busy society. Kieron also shares his knowledge in the other services he provides which include using infrared sauna and cold immersion.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• By restricting our external stimuli, it can promote rest and relaxation, as well as deeper connection to ourselves.
• Sometimes discomfort can provide profound shifts and break throughs.
• Experiences such as floatation can relax the body and promote a rest and digest state.
• When we fail to deal with our traumas and difficult situations, they can then manifest into ill health.
• When we stop, it allows the subconscious mind to bring forward all sorts of information and experiences, helping us to process these.
• We are the co-creators of our experiences and reality.

BEST MOMENTS

• “The way I see it, it's more of a sensory enhancement because everything's quietened.”
• “So (technology) it's like a medium that brings us together, but really tears us apart as well”.
• “I think people overlook the self-care a lot.”
• “If you're not tuned up nicely, you're gonna play a horrible chord. Do you know what I mean? You're not vibrating nicely or you're feeling, you're resonating well, even with the intention of doing good, you're probably doing it, you're probably doing it quite messily and not very thoughtful and you're trying to be virtuous rather than being genuine.”
• “We go through a time of darkness in ourselves, you know, like the dark passage of the soul or whatever it is. We go through, we go through a dark time as I did. And that's why I got into this. And that's why I got into floating because I was struggling with my dealing with my mother's death.”
• “I was running away from everything and all I needed to do was just stop.”
• “What the tank delivers for my clients as well, because the experiences, although the premise is the same every time, they're so different every time. You can have a very physical float, you could maybe have a bit of an uncomfortable float, or a very colourful float, or another float where you completely dreamscape the whole session, and you feel like you're travelling around.”

And when I realized that remembering came back in, I thought, yeah, even if I throw up every single day, I'm getting back on that boat and I am completing my mission.”

In this episode of Tranquil Awakenings, host Debbie is in conversation with coach Lou Davies.

Four and a half years ago, Lou recognised that alcohol had become a large part of her life and had begun to have a detrimental effect on her relationships. She came to recognise that although her life looked wonderful from the outside, she was not her true self.

By using alcohol, she had created an identity that allowed her to hide from others and herself. Upon recognising she needed a change; she started going to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Through this programme she took responsibility for her actions allowing her to express herself in more healthy ways. This helped her to embark on a journey of self-love, humility and peace.

Lou is now a qualified coach and therapist who is passionate about helping executives and individuals in business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

·      When you start on a healing journey you become aware that not only do you need to heal, but you also need to take ownership and responsibility for yourself and your life.

·      Through therapy or self-work new more helpful solutions and strategies can be found.

·      Seeking help from an external organisation, coach, or therapist can give you a framework for your own unique journey.

·      When you heal and overcome addictions it enables you to live with clarity.

·      Meditation, journaling, reading and prayer can be really beneficial for recovery and well-being.

·      Although we can’t change the past, we can change our outlook on things.

• “But it weren't my time, until the time that it came that I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.
• “And that's literally what alcohol was for me, was an escape. An escape from responsibility. An escape from time. Because time would just collapse in.”
• “I had no control over drink, you know, and it was controlling me. So, it was about taking, taking that power back.”
• “For me my life changed dramatically, and they say living your life beyond your wildest dreams and I could finally be me.”
• “Anxiety disappeared. The day I stopped drinking, the anxiety just dispersed.”
• “I drank because I had a hole in my soul.”

• “I totally encourage people to dance through all the elements. The wind energizes, the sun powers, you know, the rain invigorates, and it builds that connection and to embrace it all. It's all nature. It's all beautiful.”
• “Sometimes in the morning, I'm, you know, I might be feeling a little bit sad or a little bit, I can't be bothered. I move that, I dance that as well. It's not always chasing the highs and the bliss. It's like dancing at all is, is that's what I've learned with the dance movement psychotherapy.”
• “Sometimes dance my intentions, you know, move those, or there's some problem or something I need to solve. I just move and not think about it particularly and the solution comes.”
• “It's freeing, it's liberating, and as soon as you have that feeling of liberation and not caring what you move like or what it'll look like, you take that, into the outside world.”

In this episode, Debbie engages in conversation with Susan Kenlea, who is a psychologist. After a difficult childhood, Susan left school at fourteen years old, to begin working in the city. Whilst working she took herself through her A levels, before going to university to study Psychology. Working excessively to achieve her goals, in time she became unwell, her body attacking itself, leaving her close to death.

Through this experience Susan began to work through her childhood, searching for ways to heal herself and get her life back. More recently she suffered from a horrific experience of extreme negligence regarding an operation (which is a difficult listen). Throughout these experiences Susan remained resilient, determined to get her mind and health back so that she could dance again and enjoy her life.

• “We've got a great connection. And so, I kind of feel what they're showing me and what they're telling me, but, and I've always assumed it's just because I've grown to know them.”
• “And that's something that I believe very strongly, that on that energetic level, we are all connected and anything that I do in the here and now ripples out and affects, you know, completely everybody and everything.”
• “I think the main one for me is get out of your head and listen to what your body is telling you about the situations that you find yourself in and the relationships that you find yourself in. Really tune into those gut instincts and listen to your emotional intelligence.”

In this episode of Tranquil Awakenings, host Debbie chats with Alex Mather as he shares his journey of being involved in the global corporate market whilst also opening up to spiritualism. Alex shares how from a young age he was aware of his mediumship skills, however these early experiences scared him and therefore he closed himself off to them.

His perception began to change after having experienced coaching and reading the book ‘Happy’ by Derren Brown. From here he opened up to the concept of developing his awareness, feeling an urge to incorporate spiritualism into his life.

During this discussion Alex communicates his journey of developing as a medium, sharing a  fascinating and thought provoking experience of encountering the supernatural where Debbie came to his assistance.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• As you grow in awareness of yourself, you become more sensitive to the energy and intention of others.
• Once you develop awareness, you become effective at almost everything.
• Developing mediumship can change your outlook on life and diminish fear.
• Personal development is about progress over time. It is about having an awareness that you're not perfect, you are still going to have bad days and make mistakes, but it allows you to bring yourself back to a state of homeostasis, inner peace, and tranquillity.
• Stating that you are spiritual can create a sense of unease due to the reactions of others, however it is far more common and far reaching than we realise.
• The extra sensory awareness developed through spiritual connection goes beyond the five physical senses and learning how to navigate it healthily can be a useful skill.
• The importance of using energetic protection in spiritual based work.

BEST MOMENTS

• “I've got to be around people and developing people because of the energy, the actual energy it gives me and that physical element.”
• “When I was much younger, I became aware that I became aware of this connection and became curious about it.”
• “I must have been 12, 13 year old, I started to try and develop my relationship with spirit. And all that happened, I think, because of the age I was at and because of the things I experienced, it terrified me.”
• “I changed a tremendous amount of things in my life at that point and from there everything sort of started to go upwards in terms of positivity.”
• “I just had this idea one day, randomly, that I want to go to a spiritualist church.”
• “I went down to, this spiritualist church and I saw the medium's work at that open circle. And was astounded at some of the things that I saw and that I heard.”
• Spiritualism in itself is about developing a heightened sense of awareness. I think that if more people could appreciate what it, what it can potentially do for you in terms of a positive impact, then I think we'd probably have a happier future.”
• “I'm not a perfect example of awareness. I'm working on it all the time.”
