I spent most of today at the Yoga Show in London. My main reason for going was to see if it would be a good place to have a BodyTalk stand next year... and it was!
The people there were great, everyone was interesting and all the stands were full of great ideas and products!
After looking around I treated myself to a cup of Pukka tea and some tea bags, then a massage from the "Massage World" tent - a great magazine for people learning massage. I met Carl Newbury a really great guy... looking forward to organising our massage/BodyTalk swap soon!
After some smoothy and a try of Tantric Yoga I had to head home as I had dinner plans. The day was lovely and even better when I got news we had tickets to Take That!!

A few days in Munich...
I just got back from the IBA Instructor & Members Conference in Munich, Germany. It was a wonderful time. Munich is a beautiful city and I want to go back again:
As I sat in the middle of the room at the Instructors conference surrounded by Germans; I listened to what was being said and thought “I know it is so important to be here”. That sums up the conference for me… showing up.
The first European Conference has a theme of “Honouring the Matrix” and that is perfect... we all have a love of BodyTalk; we all see the changes it makes for ourselves and our clients every week - however we occasionally get caught up in our own worlds and forget the other 2000+ practitioners on the planet! We forget we have the vast support network and energy we have in our IBA Matrix. It is important to play our parts in this, the more you put in the more you get out.
When we show up and be in the energy of the conference it is like tapping into the source of a power station – it can only fill you with good energy. Think how you feel when you come along to a class and “plug in” as we sometimes call it: well, the conference is always special.
Apart from being strangely stalked at the Bulvarian (Eloise it is BAVARIAN!!) night (my outfit was perfectly innocent) we had an amazing time at the conference, and it was awesome to see so many CBPs (Certified BodyTalk Practitioners) there from the UK. I hope to see everyone at the UK conf erence including all our friends in Ireland and Europe – our honourary members. Last time we got the UK members together it was awesome, and this time with even more of us it will be amazing to see everyone together. I can’t wait!

Time to Expand Your Mind?
A few years ago I signed up for the MindScape course, because I was told to be a "good" BodyTalk Practitioner I should... I had no idea how it would transform my life!
I sat there on the Friday evening listening to Kris Attard telling me about what we were going to do over the weekend. I was sat there like a child waiting for Christmas as my mind started to think of all the applications of the tool which I was about to learn. I was astonished by what he claimed we were going to learn.
MindScape is all about giving people a tool which can open up your intuition and creativity. I always say it is a playground for adults! You build a "workshop" in your mind over the weekend and learn lots of tools to use within it. The tools and system of getting into "workshop" keeps our left brain something to distract itself with allowing our right brain to engage with us and let our intuition flow.
Using the tools we can use MindScape for many things....
- Personal development - MindScape will show you what you need to see or what you are trying to avoid!
- Revising and studying
- Working out a solution to a problem
- Running through presentations to the audience in advance
- I often use it to find things I have lost; from papers to cats
And much much more...
I use it to do all my BodyTalk sessions, face-to-face or distant as it allows me to be open to more information than I normally am.
During the weekend I was amazed as I am others came up with information about people we had never met! I couldn't wait to use it after the course.
Monday morning I put it to work to help solve an issue I had with a colleague at work (I was still in the corporate world), within 30 minutes she rang me to apologise for how she had been and we were able to move forward with the project trouble free!
Now I use MindScape everyday for one reason or another, it is great as a meditative state when sat idol on planes or trains. I have used it to help with jet lag, lack of sleep and much much more.
If you can get yourself to a FREE MindScape presentation - usually run on a Friday evening. The next one in the UK is Fri 19th Nov 2010 in Reading, Berkshire.

Fun & laughter
I just came back from a training course and had the most laughs I have had in ages!
It felt like the last day of school... we were excited, giggling, sad to split the class up and finish the class and grateful to each other for the support we showed each other during the week.
When was the last time you had such a laugh or a giggle?
It reminded me how important it is to have a good giggle and laugh till your sides hurt. There is a great healing power in laughter.
So book into a comedy club, watch a funny film, or play a silly game with your friends - find a way of making laughter an essential part of your week.
The Magician and the Parrot
A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience would be different each week, so the magician allowed himself to do the same tricks over and over again.
There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows every week and began to understand what the magician did in every trick. Once he understood that, he started shouting in the middle of the show.
"Look, it's not the same hat!" "Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table!" "Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades?"
The magician was furious but couldn't do anything, it was the captain's parrot after all.
One day the ship had an accident and sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood, in the middle of the ocean, and of course the parrot was by his side.
They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word. This went on for several days.
After a week the parrot finally said, "Okay, I give up. What'd you do with the boat?"
