I want to share briefly about a time when I was 13 years of age and involved in an accident ( re: divine appointment ) that nearly ended my life. I share it as it has been the time of my life that has most profoundly shaped many of my experiences. A time that I now see many of the gifts in.

It was  a family holiday. I was enjoying a game of soccer with my brothers. The ball got kicked into a field. Me and my brothers decided to start swinging on a goal post that reach up to our neck level. Not a great idea. Within minutes I had managed to leverage it out of the ground and it pulled me down to the ground, crushing my abdomen. I’ll not go into the details of the internal injuries but we can just say it wasn’t that pleasant.

I ended spending two weeks in the intensive care unit and then another 4 weeks in another hospital ward recovering.

For many years my attitude was that of the victim, wondering why this had happened to me, and allowing myself to feel self pity on a daily basis. In time I came to approach that time with a sense of awe and began to witness the miracles that occurred in that time.

There were a number of synchroncities that occurred in this painful time that to me are evidence of a higher co-ordination of events. Here are my favourite…

1) The hospital that my parents took me to was the only hospital in the south of England which had the type of specialist that I needed to perform the operation.

2) The doctor said that if it has been an inch further along my duodenum he would not have been able to save me.

3) If they had been just a few moments later in getting to me I would have bled to death.

4) ( my favourite ) This is something that my mother recounted me telling her, as I could not remember it. One night I was dreaming that I was on a train and it pulled into a station. When the door opened a white light poured in and I was on the verge of stepping out into it. A hand reached me and grabbed me, and pulled me back in. I recognised him as the man sharing the Intensive Care unit with me, Tony. “It’s not your time yet” he said as he pulled me back in. Then he himself stepped into that light. I awake soon after and told my mother this story, to which she replied “Tony passed away last night”. To this day I feel he was an angel in my life.

Even in these painful times in my life there were synchronicities unfolding. In those moments of extreme pain I was not able to see them. My faith dwindled in those years following. But over time I made the conscious decision to find the gift in it.

As you are going through your struggles, whether it be with health and fitness, relationship, or anything else, ask to see the gifts in the moment. I believe you will begin to see the wonderful presence of spirit working it’s magic. Or, it may occur long after the event, depending on what the event is. Our body may get broken at time but as long as we have faith in our spirit we are not broken.

There is great healing with gratitude. I feel this is one of the deep messages that came with that experience for me.

There are many ways to bring harmony and balance back into our body. This happens when ……..

- we are in integrity with who we really are at the core of our being, and have the courage to be that person in the world.

- the energies in our body are allowed to flow freely, whether emotional or biochemical energies.

- we eat foods that support the temple that is our body beautiful.

- we pray, meditate and speak to the cells of our body on a daily basis.

I have been the person that sought only outside of myself for the answer and I have also been that person who only sought inside of myself for the answer. I have found balance tapping internally and noticing what God has provided external to myself in the form of relationships in my life, and techonology ( that are brought to us through the people we trust ).

I love the advances of quantum physics. Ever since Einstein coined the term “Zero Point Energy”, thousands of hours of research has poured into making this form of energy available to help the healing of individuals.

Science provides opportunities for healing for people all the time. Some treatments have been shown to have negative side effects when it comes to helping health. New ones are being found as people pray for them. Today I am sharing one such technology. If you are out of balance in your life in any way I encourage you to watch this video.

This tool could be something very useful in your life. And I guarantee that there is someone you know who would benefit from it.

Can you believe in the unseen? Watch this video and then check out the link below it.

Zero Point Technology

When I was 13 years old, I had a divine appointment, something that others might call an accident. It is really the reason that I am on the path that I am now. I was left with quite  a few emotional, mental, and physical scars after this experience. And my body has held on to a lot of pain over the years.

Through emotional release, prayer, mediation, exercise and nutritional choices I have been able to have great healing. Yet some of the deepest pains were taking time to heal.

I am always fascinated by the advancement in technologies these days and on the look out for things that will benefit myself and my clients. I also follow synchronicities and take inspired action.

Well, one day I had released a prayer of healing for a foot condition that has been affecting me for a few years now. Within 24 hours I had heard from a number of different people about this one product that infused zero point field energy. I was aware of zero point field through some of the work of Gregg Braden and Lynne McTaggart but was unaware that scientists had found a way to harness it for healing.

Three different people, in one day, that’s worth paying attention to. So with an ounce of skepticism and a majority of trust in the process I went along to sample this technology that had been recommended to me.

Well, it had been nothing short of a life changing experience for me. This technology does not heal but it reminds the body how to heal itself. Within a few weeks of using this technology there is a sense of health restored within my body that just feels fantastic. In combination with all the other tools that I use, with my awareness of the connectedness of everything, affirmation and prayer, and listening to my intuitive nudges, balance is occurring in my body temple for the first time in 15 years and I am grateful

After visualising it, I am now back running and this has been a tool that helped me out.

Here is a video of some women who each seem to experience quite a miracle as the pain in their body dissipates. I do believe when we are ready to let go of pain, and give up the need to suffer, that miracles happen. I have witnessed similar ones with folks one on one.

It has facilitated emotional releases through which I have come to new level of awarenesses about myself and some of the pains of the past that I had been holding on to at a subconscious level.

Yes, the answer to our healing is within each and every one of us. God is within us. But God is also around us in the relationships in our lives. God is also responsible for the manifestation of some of these awesome new technologies that are helping out millions of people around the world.

You may use EFT, prayer, meditation, exercise and many other modalities of healing. If you still find yourself stuck and experiencing pain I would recommend that you check out the Amega wand. It is not a “Magic wand” as I have heard it spoken of by many, but it is a great healing toll that is bringing health to many people around the world.

If you are in my neck of the woods then please meet up with me and experience it. If you are in other parts of the world I can point you in the direction of somewhere where you can experience it first hand. Once you have experienced it I believe you will be contacting me to find out more about it and I will gladly support you in getting one for yourself.

I am often approached by companies with health products, it is the line of work that I am in. There are some great products out there that really help people’s health and wellbeing. I have been hesistant to put my name behind any particular one in the past. This one I am behind whole heartedly. I am loving each and every one of the products that they are bringing forth at this time.

JOIN NOW AND EXPERIENCE BALANCE AND WHOLENESS

I have been supported greatly through this transition, when the noise of my ego consumed my mind, the stillness of meditation and those in my life, help connect me to the joy that is ours any time we want. I have allowed myself to feel the sadness, release the tears, and as a result tapped into a new level of happiness.

Many times in life I have made choices be unhappy because the circumstances I was in were not not great. And even when circumstances were great, my ego still wanted to make me feel undeserving of that happiness. So it really has nothing to do with circumstances.

As I write this I am listening to the Beach Boys watching some young ladies on the street bursting into spontaneous dance and smiling. A great way to feel joy in the moment and the Beach Boys will always do that.

Get up and dance where you are right now. If you hear voices in your head telling you how dumb this, then you need to do it even more! That is your ego telling you that you don’t deserve happiness even when it shows up as a thought such as “That looks dumb”.

My situation at this time is not ideal, but the choice to be happy is mine to make. I know every time I feel sadness that it will pass.

It is the same with our bodies. Are you choosing to be unhappy because you have those extra pounds to lose? Are you choosing to be unhappy because you did not achieve a goal you set out to do? The programming from the world media has a lot to answer for in this respect, making people think that they will be happy when they look a certain way. But we don’t have to buy into it.

This is the importance of self-acceptance. Accepting where we are at right now elevates our level of happiness. It is saying that we will not feel the shame about the way we look. We will not buy into the guilt of eating that second cookie. Buying into those feelings sets us up for struggle.

The dance that I mentioned earlier will take you to a place of happiness instantly, if you allow it, and if you do it long enough, your body will respond to the joy of the movement. Physiological state changes like that have a direct effect on our emotional state. If you haven’t done that dance, do it now!

When you exercise, do you choose exercises that punish you or ones that make you feel joyful? Is it inspired exercise or exercise you “should” do based upon some book you read. Our spirit seeks to experience more joy. What movement will bring you joy today? Can you allow yourself to play?

Choose thoughts that make you happy. Choose exercises that make you feel happy, and challenge you. And if you feel the sadness, allow yourself to shed the tears of pain, for behind this waterfall lies untapped happiness.

Enjoy your body now!

In a few short sessions with Matthew you will be sure to know how you have been blocking your happiness and once you implement the changes, will be well on your way to creating what you want, whilst being happy where you are right now. It takes courage to shine the light on the areas of self hatred and that is where support is so valuable. Contact Matthew for coaching directly.

“I was immediately impressed  by Matthew’s insight and intuition.  Within minutes he had uncovered the real work I needed to do beyond the symptomatic concerns I presented with.  With immense care and listening, Matthew guided me through even my deepest fears and limitations.  Each week I noticed how improved my life and business became. After 10 sessions, I had the mad thought that maybe I could not afford to continue investing in myself with this work immediately realised that I could not afford NOT to continue my journey with Matthew as it was benefiting my life and business so much!  I have referred others to Matthew and they too are blown away his the gentle yet powerful work. I pray that you give yourself the same beautiful experience - you will be amazed!”

Are you still under the impression that when you have the body that you want that you will be happy, if you are not happy now?

Having the best body will not make you happy. Having low cholesterol will not make you happy. An ego that is not happy where it is now will not be happy in the future, or it will temporarily in the moment those conditions have been met, but then revert to old ways.

All the time I am working with people who are wanting to lose weight. I help them do that, but we make happiness the way of the journey. Too many people buy into the martyr’s ethic of self deprivation on their way to achieving that end goal. Sacrificing something of themselves that they did not need to sacrifice. And when they get there, they are not happy.

The media continues to propagate messages that are influencing the choices of all generations, in a way that will be impossible for so many. I spend much time deconditioning folks of the beliefs that they have picked up about the way their body “should” look. Do you know the ones getting in your way?

So many young men are unhappy with the size of the muscles on their body. They want to get bigger. They start using steroids with the belief that this will make them happy. Why do they want to be big? For more happiness? And yet, the effects of steroids lead in the long time to unhappiness.

For young women it is often the butt. It usually has that cellulite on it. If they can just make that cellulite go away they will be happy. Well, I can tell you that I know of at least one super model who worked out a gym that I worked out of that still had the cellulite and it did not stop herself loving herself and making great headway in the world of modeling.

Whatever your vision for health is move towards it. It feels exciting. But what you notice is that the happiness that you feel in moving towards that vision is here in the now, not there, out in the future. Can you hold on to that happiness?

In Part II, “It’s Your Choice To Be Happy”.

In a few short sessions with Matthew you will be sure to know how you have been blocking your happiness and once you implement the changes, will be well on your way to creating what you want, whilst being happy where you are right now. It takes courage to shine the light on the areas of self hatred and that is where support is so valuable. Contact Matthew for coaching directly.

When people are working out hard in the gym, and eating a pristine diet, they expect that they will achieve the body they desire. They have been programmed by our media to believe they will deserve it.

Then, they reach a point where they have put all the hard work in that they thought they needed to put in, and still it hasn’t happened. The results are not there. And then they say “I deserve this, I have worked so hard”. It is quickly followed by “What is the point?”. Resentment and giving up are soon to follow.

I believe that a certain amount of it is personal effort, and then there is the grace of God. Our body performs miracles daily, and yet our mind can influence how it unfolds. Surrender is the gateway for grace. When we surrender, we release attachment, and the highest good unfolds.

I have clients who have worked hard, followed their but gusting workouts daily, and eating without error, but still not achieving what they wanted. Then, these same people have chosen to be kinder to themselves, picked exercise that they enjoy more, and allowed themselves the odd chocolate bar, and they have seen more results. They felt better. The results came more effortlessly. Over time they find they don’t even want that chocolate bar, and eating healthy becomes natural for them.

They have chosen a different mindset with regard to health. They have made it easier for themselves through their daily choices.

I love what Robert Holden says in his book “Happiness Now”. We have developed a work ethic in our world that we have to deserve something to have it, that we have to work for it, that we get it when it is earned and that we have to pay for it. He states that these are the roots of much of our suffering in the world today.

A GRUELLING WORKOUT

Millions put themselves through gruelling workouts each week with the aim of being happy. Believing that if they work hard enough, they will earn the body they want. They end up making it alot harder than it actually needs to be. I love a vigorous workout, but I don’t make it half as hard as I used to, and I accomplish more.

Practice self-acceptance daily, be happy in the now, be kind to yourself, and play. Your body will love you for it, and you are worthy. It is not something that you have to deserve. These are all states of mind that you can choose right here, right now. And as you choose them, your world will mirror it back to you.

I used to workout hard, with the intention of building a particular body shape and followed the conditioning program of the foremost experts in the field of strength and conditioning. I often did not get the results that I set out to achieve. My attachment to the outcome was slowing down achievement of my true desires.

I still follow those coaches guidelines. But, I have learned to enjoy my workouts more, I pray without ceasing during my exercise time, I am choosing happiness and acceptance in the now, and my body has changed as a result.

My body has taken on the form that nature intended, instead of one that I was trying to force upon it. Whenever I find myself disliking anything about myself, I welcome in the grace of God as I find self-acceptance within myself. Then change occurs with ease.

This is what I wish for you. You are worthy of health and fitness. They are your birthright, not something that you have to work hard to deserve. There is work involved but it is work that you love doing, exercise that you love doing, that will yield the greatest happiness.

Thoughts of self-acceptance will lead to happiness now, and through each moment that you own this within yourself, you step closer to your vision of health as happiness begets happiness.

Robert Holden will be one of the many awesome authors speaking at the “I Can Do It” conference in Tampa this year. He is funny! And he knows what he is talking about after studying happiness for 20 years.

For many it is one thing to see evidence of the placebo effect when it comes to a biochemical change in the body, but when it comes to a change to the physical structure, something that is apparently solid, it reaches us at an altogether different level.

It proves for us that it is not about “believing when I see it” but “seeing it when I believe it”.

Our bodies are more than just machines. They are energetic bodies, and our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual bodies are connected. Your thoughts influence the physical structure of your body.

Please note that I still recommend that people seek out advice from a health professional. The visualisation and mind training is supplementary.

The BodyMind is the basis of the work that I do with people when it comes to health and fitness. It is the basis of the Sacred Fitness Workshop that is coming up this Saturday in Victoria at the Victoria Truth Centre. There is still time to sign yourself up.

SACRED FITNESS WORKSHOP

From the very beginning he jumped into some of the great scientific breakthroughs that have come to the world in the last few years. The work of Candace Pert who demonstrated the mind body connection and that emotions are not simply chemicals in the brain, they are electrochemical signals that affect the chemistry and electricity of every cell in the body. That was a big breakthrough. The many breakthroughs in the field of quantum phsyics. Entanglement, which demonstrates that electrons separated by vast distances that were once connected are activated at the very same moment, not after any set time period. Awesome stuff!

His latest book “Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul” is probably my favourite of his books to date. Probably because it aligns so much with the principles of Sacred Fitness. He speaks of breakthroughs in understanding that lead to breakthroughs in emotional health and soul health.

In a nutshell, here are the breakthroughs for reinventing the body:

#1 – Your Physical Body is a Fiction – his main premise being that the nonphysical aspect of life is stronger than the physical. Your body is the junction between the visible and invisible worlds.

#2 – Your Real Body Is Energy – You’ve heard this one from me often enough. The tiniest change in energy, can lead to massive physical disruptions. It also makes adventures in fitness truly joyful. Knowing that it is all about working with energy.

#3 - Awareness Has Magic – There is reflection ( taking a look at old habits, beliefs, and assumpyions ) , Contemplation                  ( focusing on a thought or image until expands as far as it can) and Meditation ( finding the level of the mind that isn’t conditioned).

#4 - You Can Improve Your Genes – We are not victims of the genes that we picked up from our parents. Our genes can be changed, they are no more physical than any other parts of our body. Most of us with a western education have been programmed from a young age to believe that our genes do govern our existence and so there is usually a little debugging to do on this. It profoundly affects physical fitness when it is grasped at the subconscious level.

#5 -Time Isn’t Your Enemy – I loved the chapter where he covers this. All too often when it comes to fitness I hear about aging being something that people are afraid of. They think time is working against them and they physiologically respond to this in their body. Begin to change your beliefs about aging, and watch how your body responds. Gregg Braden says that there is no scientific reason why we cannot live until we are 200 years young, and I believe him.

These are just the breakthroughs when it comes to our body. He also covers 5 breakthroughs when it comes to the soul. Just as enlightening, a must read book. Here is the link to it……..

Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul

The one that I have just finished reading, that Deepak co-authored with Debbie Ford and Marianne Williamson, also covers some fantastic information about the gift hidden behind our shadow energies. At the weekend Deepak described the motto of the shadow as “I am the part of you that will embarass you if you don’t listen to me.”

The Shadow Effect Interactive DVD AND                   The Shadow Effect Book

I always remember the line from Spiderman, “With great power comes great responsibility” and it used to scare me.  I never wanted to grow up because of the responsibilities that came with it.

Don’t allow thoughts like this to take you away from your power. When you can handle the responsibilities that you currently have, then you will be able to handle greater responsibilities and will allow yourself to take them on. We don’t have to take it all on at once.

What is Responsibility?

Responsibility is NOT about 1) blaming others 2) blaming yourself or 3) blaming the world.

I see responsibilty as something to stand for in the moment, especially when it comes to health. You are responsible for that. Not your doctor, trainer, physiotherapist or chiropractor. They provide guidance but ultimately the choice comes down to you. I know too many people who pop pills, fully trusting their GP without asking even what is in it. Or taking a weight loss supplement because their friends taking it, without knowing how it may work with their own biochemistry.

You are responsible for your thoughts, feelings and actions in each moment. Not anyone else’s. It is about your ability to respond to situations in life. Do you respond to mistakes and failures with punishment or kindness. Your response will have a profound effect on the long term outcome.

When it comes to health and fitness, you are responsible for what goes in your mouth, what exercise you do, and all your thoughts feelings and actions. And releasing the need to blame others for the poor choices you have made, or the negative influences they may have had on you.

TAKING ON TOO MUCH

So many of the people that I work with end up with health conditions because they have taken on more responsibility than they needed to, and weighed themselves down as a result. They have become so overly responsible for others, that they have become irresponsible with regards to their own health.

Always commune with your higher self to seek what actions you can take in any given situation with regards to people and situations in your life. Be aware of the level of responsibility you are taking for your own life.

Release The Burden of Responsibility

It does not need to be a heavy burden but yet the shoulders of many in the world are weighted down by responsibilities they think they “should” be taking on. They take on responsibilities of the future that have not even happened yet, or hold on to burdens of the past, or take responsibility for things that they need not, in the now. Even worse, they are taking responsibility for something that really had nothing to do with them.

I would recommend some meditation time, with a clear question “What am I responsible for in  my life at this time?” Sit with your higher self and begin to observe what comes to your awareness. Allow for anything that is not your responsibility at this time to be left alone.

May I suggest creating the intention to create peace with the word responsibility. It is not the word that is at fault, but people’s understanding and use of it. It creates intense feelings in a lot of people, what about you?

Did this cause a strong reaction within you? Maybe time for a little more exploration. Through one-on-one coaching I take people on a journey to understanding how responsibility affects all areas of life and how, when it is assumed, it creates very positive outcomes.

What do you take from this? A laugh? Some deeper wisdom? Please comment below ……….

Maybe he is living and breathing example of what Joan Borysenko is sharing in the following video……..

What do you think?

Self-acceptance could really be stated as the underlying foundation for Sacred Fitness. We can either be kind to ourselves or we can beat ourselves up for mistakes. One leads away from love the other towards love.
