Mind, Body, Soul: finding health, balance and wisdom

Published by Alison Wem on

What a wonderful event the Mind, Body, Soul event in Alexandra Palace is this weekend. I spent a wonderful day on Friday with a couple of friends sampling the delights of the event. There are so many things to try and sample with lots of free lectures and experiences. I rate this event highly and it is very reasonably priced. So if you are looking for something to do this weekend give it a go.

The highlights for me were:

Irene Gloux on stand 165 – Spirit Artist

When a medium gives you a message from a passed loved one, have you ever wondered if it is authentic? What better way to check out your message than to ask the medium to draw a picture of who is bringing you this message. Irene, spirit artist and medium, does just this. Do visit her stand -165 and sample it for yourself. My friend had a wonderful reading and a great picture to take home with her.

BrightNightLight – Robi an intuitive creative designer creates beautiful mandala style pictures which bring you a message. His stand is well worth taking a look at or if you cannot make the event, take a look at his Facebook page – BrightNightLight.co.uk 

I loved these pictures. I had to give you a bigger picture than normal of his wonderful products. They really resonated with me and reminded me of my own Soul Maps. Rob and I will definitely be talking after the Mind, Body, Soul event.

Barbara Meiklejohn – Shamanic Healer

I was lucky enough to be chosen for a shamanic drum healing for my back. There was not an instant change to my pain but on waking this morning, the intensity is much less and I feel more flexible. Good job done Barbara – thank you.

Barbara gave us all a wonderful experience of going down into Mother Earth lead by her drum and voice. Afterwards, I noticed how happy everyone looked and they smiled and chatted with one another. Visit Barbara on stand 40 or go to spiritvisions.com 

There is lots more on offer for you to enjoy at the Mind, Body, Soul event – yoga, diets, aura pictures, tarot, organic cosmetics…….. The list goess on.

How do I help my children to thrive in this changing world

Our children are often the dearest people in our hearts. We put a lot of time and effort into raising them. We want to know that they can have a good life ahead of them. No matter the age of your children, you never stop being a parent and wanting the best for them.

What can a parent do to help safe-guard their children?

By the nature of living in a changing world, the greatest gift for your child to not only survive within it but to thrive, is being flexible. Careers and jobs are no longer for life. Everyone expects to change them in a life time with a possible geographic move thrown in as well. Technology is moving fast and impacting our lives. Those who do not adopt it and take the best from it, are in danger of being left behind.

Are you being a good role model on flexibility?

While children are growing up, they tend to love routines and structure. These may well be useful and practical for maintaining a family schedule for times to eat and go to bed. But it is also useful to teach your children that changing the schedule is good if it leads to a better place or their environment necessitates it.

This is sometimes easier said than done. My son as a child loved his familiar routine. If we went on holiday, he would not change either the time to eat or sleep. It was a nightmare when we might want to stay out later to enjoy an evening walk or a meal. However, I do feel I brought this on myself. When it was just him and me at home, our lives ran better when we followed a schedule. When his baby sister arrived, we did not have this luxury. I still had to take and collect my son from school. The baby had to learn to wait for a feed or to sleep in her push chair if our family schedule necessitated it. My observation is my daughter grew up coping with being flexible more than my son.

As parents you want to warn your children of the inherent dangers in life. You may encourage them not to talk to strangers when they are little. When they grow older you warn them not to drink too much, to study and work hard, to manage their money carefully.

In all of this there is a danger you make your children fearful. It is important that they remain as curious about the world around them as they were as a baby and toddler.

There is a fine line between following your curiosity and safety

Curiosity keeps you engaged in the world and therefore informed on what may be upcoming in the future. With an understanding of upcoming changes, your children get the chance to consider what it will mean to them and to seek the benefits but mitigate the negatives. This gives them time to prepare and adapt to the changes.

An example of this today maybe Artificial Intelligence (AI). There is much fear around this topic from the risk of it being abused by powerful people and institutions. If this should happen, many people could be impacted negatively. However, used appropriately AI can bring many advantages to every day people like you and me.

If all fails, being resilient will help your children to get through any change that faces them. They may have a life plan of what they want to do, but they should be open to changing it. This can be rapid and significant if it is needed. No-one knows what these changes will be. But being able to ride the change is key to surviving and thriving in a new environment.

The conversations about being flexible, remaining curious and being resilient begin in childhood. However, it is my belief that the most important conversations happen in young adulthood and going forwards. As I said earlier, you never stop being a parent.

Of course, to be qualified to help your children as adults, you need to be all of these things yourself. It will not assist them if you use the rhetoric;

Grieving over the loss of a loved one?

All of us experience grief at some point in our lives. When we experience it for the first time, it can come as quite a shock. It is often not talked about so it is hard to know how to deal with it.

When someone you love dies it can leave a big hole in your life. It can feel like life is no longer worth living. If there has been an illness and anticipation of death, you may have had the opportunity to say the important things you wanted to say such as how much you love each other or maybe forgiveness for a perceived wrong.

If, like me, the death was sudden and unexpected, you do not get the opportunity to say those important words. I believe that is why people say you should live every day as if it is your last and not to go to bed on an argument.

I believe grieving is the process of saying goodbye. Through this process you experience many emotions.
