Energy Flow 

Hello 🙂 

How are you?

I am well and have some exciting news today 🙂 I have had a client for a few years now, Kitty Shukman, who is a streetwear and shoe designer. There was an instant connection between us from the start, which is always lovely, and also with her mother, author Jessica Pryce-Jones, who comes for sessions with me as well. Over time, we each bonded and became friends as well as healer / clients and the sessions continued. Kitty was recently bestowed with the prestigious honour of being selected as one of only a handful of young designers to present their own brands at London Fashion Week. Having established herself with several enigmatic streetwear brands and fashion houses, the opportunity to present what she had created independently was priceless for Kitty. She asked me to support her with the show, both to prepare her for such an undertaking and to do space clearing and personal healing at the show itself, being there to hold space for her and her crew. 

I remembered at that point, our journey together with Amma at the Los Angeles program this summer. I managed to get us onto the stage with Amma when Kitty entered the hall. We were seated at the back of the stage, yet Amma found Kitty’s eyes several times and gave her a deep gaze. For some reason, probably Grace, we were kept on the stage for more than an hour, which is unusual nowadays especially for a first-timer. When it came to Darshan, Amma spent a great deal of time with Kitty, playing like a child with the healing chocolate characters she has created, along with her amazing tarot cards and shoe designs – part of the collection for her brand ‘Again’, aka ‘Positive Energy Flows Again’. Amma then reached over and handed her an apple. That was when I really knew…something is going to come of this. 

Skip on a couple of months, and back here in London I was doing an in-person session for Kitty. One of the things I did was to create a Divine Door for ‘Positive Energy Flows Again’ (an EW4 MRLN Mendra Divine Door), placing it in one of the shoe prototypes and more widely into the consciousness of the whole brand. Merlin prompted me to ask Kitty to get specific about her intention with her career, which she did. I won’t share what she said, but suffice to say it was both sincere and selfless, so much so it brought tears to my eyes. Again, at that moment, I knew…something is going to come of this. 

The day came for the show last Friday and it was so exciting! I felt intimidated going in, to be honest, but thankfully I realised quickly that I had indeed managed to rummage out good clothes for the occasion – lol! I had a clear intention for being there, which also helped a lot : to be a healing presence for Kitty, the crew and models, for Kitty’s artistic vision, for the work itself and to channel on the set. Things were already underway when I arrived at midday and Kitty’s sound designer and I discussed how to create the right atmosphere for the show. He was very open to Amma, so Kitty asked him to play the 1000 Names loudly on set while I cleared the whole space. That was one of my favourite moments – pure magic : there I was, with Amma’s Swami chanting over the speakers, entering into this fascinating and unknown world and doing what I most love to do. The show itself was centred around a shoe – the infinity shoe :-

Suffice to say, when showtime hit and it came time to welcome the 400 guests from the fashion world, everything was spectacular! And Kitty said she felt that I had fixed a major lighting issue, by creating a Divine Door and then sitting with the situation in the Global Healing Grid. It’s hard to remember everything else now, because it was such an intense and thrilling day, but the feelings are something that I think will stay with me forever. 

Here are a couple of snippets :-

The following day, I was on the tube and received a Telegram message from an Amma friend. She wondered if I knew a designer who had mentioned Vortex Healing and Amma in her interview for Vogue magazine? My mouth fell open… I opened the link she had sent me and stared, with absolute astonishment… There, right before my very eyes, were the words ‘Vortex Healing’ written at the top of an entire article in Vogue. Not only that, but Amma’s full name – Mata Amritanandamayi – was also in the article, plus the ‘energy healer’ referred to was me. I marvelled at what Divinity had created… I was in awe…

I got off the tube at my stop and, in a usual rush, ran to get the escalator and continue my journey to the next client. But as I crossed over that way, I broke down in tears. I was crying, right in the middle of the tube station – I simply couldn’t stop those tears. I was, quite literally, overjoyed. If there was any story behind the joy inside my tears, it was about what this could mean for Amma’s dream for humanity, for Kitty, for Vortex Healing and for me. Then in my heart I silently prayed, thanking Amma and Merlin over and over again. Things have been very challenging on a human life level for me recently, yet this miracle from God just wiped all that away. The drama came to an end. As I cried, all I could feel was Divinity. I was reconnected. And in that reconnection, it was like I was looking through a window, which I realised was a window into Reality. I perceived that Reality never changes. I could also feel that I am always and only looked after, always and only loved, always and only in Divinity. And so are you. It was a revelation…a total sensing, an insight which included everyone and everything.

I am travelling to Portugal tomorrow, this time to the south of the country first. I am scoping out that area as a possibility for living. I also want to get a feel for Portugal again, now that I have experienced so much transformation with Amma and The Magical Jewel class. 

Here is the link to book online private sessions, which continue as usual from Portugal :-

I would like to finish by recounting a brief tale. This was told to us all in a satsang during Tour, by a Brahmacharini in yellow whom I greatly respect. She said a man had come for Amma’s Darshan and asked Amma for advice on his sadhana (spiritual practices). Amma’s answer was very beautiful, with a touching yet profound simplicity which only She seems able to convey :- 

“Any action which doesn’t harm the world is sadhana” ~ Amma

Real bliss is within 

Hello 🙂 

“Just as the flower falls away when the fruit takes shape, worldly desires will disappear when detachment ripens. No desire can bind such a person afterwards, whether he lives at home or in the forest. One who has established God-realisation as his goal will not attach any importance to anything else. He has already understood that nothing physical is permanent and that real bliss is within” ~ Amma

Another way of touching on this area, is to perceive – fully, without holding back – that what we want and what we need are rarely related. I’m sorry to break it – if it is news – to you, but it’s true. And yet, in every single moment we are getting exactly what we need. 

The Free Online Group Healings are now weekly. I hope you are as pleased about this as I am 🙂 Other than dates I cannot do, I have begun scheduling these weekly instead of fortnightly. The link below will allow you to book them. The next Free Online Group Healing is Friday 20th September @ 1pm London time. If you feel drawn to do so, please let your friends / fam / etc. know by sharing this link with them.

I thought I would share some of my notes from Amma’s U.S. Tour with you now. During Oakland program, Amma explained to us in a speech that we must never try to compare ourselves with others. Instead, always see from the perspective of the True Self. 

During the Washington D.C. program, there was a public Q&A and a young woman (probably 20 or thereabouts) asked a beautiful question concerning what to do when, although we do not express anger  or resentful feelings to a person directly, when we walk away from the conversation with them, these are still going on in our mind. Amma said, if we introspect, we will find that the anger we feel towards someone really arises from expectations or from being judgemental. She continued, saying that sadness also gets expressed as anger or as revenge. We do not understand the mental state of the other person. The world is like a mental asylum, with each of us being either crazy or on the verge of being crazy. 

Although a snake may be frozen in ice, if it is left in the sun the ice will melt and the snake will all-of-a-sudden rise up and could bite us. Only by going through the circumstances of life, will we understand what our own latent tendencies are.

If we get into conflict with someone, immediately we should move away from the situation and contemplate – go within. In order to become aware of the gap between our thoughts and actions, we need patience. Amma said that each situation is our Guru, our Teacher. Seeing any person as a mirror for ourself, we will learn a lot. 

Anger is a double-edged sword, with which we get hurt first. Or it could be likened to a hot iron ball : when we throw it at someone, we get hurt first. 

However, if an animal like a deer is eating our vegetable patch, it is no good saying, “My dear, dear, dear deer, please stop eating the vegetables.” Instead, we need to take a stick, wave it at the deer and shoo it away with words. 

The world is like an examination hall. We need to go through many circumstances in life in order to learn all the lessons. Amma said that we may fail when facing a situation, but never give up. 

‘Awareness’ was the only word which Amma used repeatedly in English throughout this Q&A (the rest being in Malayalam as usual), which I found interesting. Amma continued : whatever action we perform, the first 10% is not within our control. But the following 90% is within our control. If through having the proper awareness, we can make the initial action as positive as it can be, then the rest will follow accordingly. In order to develop such awareness, we need to do spiritual practices like meditation or Archana (the 1000 Names) regularly. 

Amma finished by saying to the woman directly, “Whatever your conscience tells you to do, you should do that.”

Free Online Group Healing : yes, this Friday :-) 

🕉 Om Amriteswaryai Namah 🕉 

“In spirituality, the seeker renounces all that he has to the Supreme Principle, God. All that one can claim as one’s own, all the attachments and aversions one has are the product of one’s ego. They can also be referred to as vasanas or accumulated tendencies. All these things which we claim as our own do not, in fact, belong to us since we have no control over them. Reputation, fame, position, our homes, wives, husbands, children – none of these can stay with us permanently. We may have such things now, but who knows what is going to happen the next moment? But this is not the case with the accumulated tendencies, with the ego. The ego is our own. It belongs to us. Nobody else can claim it. Therefore, real self-surrender is surrendering or renouncing one’s ego at the feet of the Supreme Self.”

I am flying out on 5th July and back on 13th August. Although I am not offering private sessions during that period, please note that I am considering going ahead with the Groups which fall between those dates from ‘Tourland’ 🙂 🙂 🙂 I think it could be a fantastic and rare opportunity for you to feel Amma’s direct presence as part of this community 🙂
