Gathering of Minds

Gathering of minds is something I wanted to organise after seeing how the global shift in consciousness is now in full force. We need to join together and make things happen.

The World is an amazing place, despite what the media tries to tell us. We can step away from this and focus on what is good in the World and how we can help raise the vibration of the planet by helping more people.

We will be focussing on the good in the world and the positive, rather than paying the negative any energy and feeding into it.

Life is about helping each other. The focus is on this helping others. This can be on any sort of level. As the shift is in full swing and it can be a confusing time for people, its nice to get together for a positive and constructive meetup.

Some of the topics we will be discussing -

- Consicousness
- Good News
- Motivation
- Living in a positive way
- Meditation
- Postive Psychology in Sport and Work
- NLP
- Reiki
- Self worth and loving self
- Health
- Nutrition
- Meta-Physical matters
- Astral Projection
- Benefits of Raw food
- Fitness
- Mind, Body, Sprit 

The gatherings will be taking place across London every Month. I then plan to cover other areas and produce videos for online viewing
Next event is 17th Sept in Central London
Gathering of Minds Tickets! Only £6 only or £10 on the door x

Amazing healing :)

Been meaning to write this since last week but have been ran off my feet with work and organising Gathering of Minds. I really wanted to tell everyone about this because it was such a great experience.

I met Magic and Lia at a Raw food detox weekend and they work together and individually with their healing.

They offer many services within their healing but I opted for the intuitive body massage which was amazing. Because of my fighting and training, I get a lot of injuries which were quickly found by the girls. Even injuries which I had a few years back, that seemed to have flared up again were pin pointed. I found this amazing! The energy from the injuries was released and it had an immediate effect on me.

The session was really personal and a lot of other things happened which I don't really wanna talk about on here but I can HIGHLY recommend going to see Magic and Lia!
