Throughout history colour and light have been used by every culture, religion and society in a variety of ways. By altering the colours that surround us, colour therapy proposes that we can alter our state of health. It has been proven that light, or the absence light, can have a great effect on our mental and physical states of health. Colour therapy has grown out of this ancient use of colour to enhance health and wellbeing.
We are in a world where colour dominates our lives, from reading signs on the road to identifying ripe fruit by its colour. Colour affects our moods – blue is calming, red can make us tense. We use colour everyday in our lives without even appreciating it. But, it’s the colour we choose that acts like a mirror to us and can reveal our hidden potential, our gifts, talents and so much more.
Using the seven colours of the spectrum, colour therapy aims to balance and enhance our body’s energy centres or chakras, and also to help stimulate our body’s own healing process. Therapists consider your aura, which is an array of colours that emanate naturally from all of us but which few of us can observe. Colour therapists also believe that the seven colours of the rainbow relate to the body’s seven main chakras. So, if you’re feeling blue, a multi-coloured treatment could be just the thing your internal colour palette is yearning for.

At the end of 2011, I embarked on a pilgrimage to visit the timeless Temples of Egypt. I moved through the awe-inspiring temples, sensing both the silence of mystery and the myriad voices that teem from the walls. I felt these ruinous but illustrious buildings as interstellar portals yielding forth the freedom that drives the culture and the people to the liberation they seek. Indeed, these hallowed halls were created by ancient beings whose vibration still lives in the whisper of their resurrection. For surely our loving reverence as we greet such sites is a reference to the fact that the mighty ones still live in our hearts: the gateway to our souls.
The loud voices of the Egyptian Gods and the great alchemist Thoth speak while unseen priests teem through the ancient porticos with their shaved heads and white tunics, bringing offerings of fruit and incense to enchant our connection with the divine. They all remind us that life is evolutionary, if we so live through the quickened pulse of our spirit.
While meditating in Medinet Habu, the Temple of Thoth, I received prophecy for the year of 2012 about health, wealth, and relationship issues. We will experience an acceleration of change within our physical bodies as we cultivate new regimes for eliminating disease. More so, discovery of regenerative cellular processes will change the notion of ageing and old Western medicinal procedures will become history.
As we experience the higher frequencies of our evolving galaxy, which currently finishes a cycle of 26,000 years, our focus will be taken away from our vulnerability towards disease created by stress – as we live in the higher frequencies where our soul’s intelligence reigns supreme. So, the production of laboratory-made diseases will cease. Therefore, we will see increased visitation from extraterrestrial beings that bring alleviation from the poisons that fill our atmosphere, such as radioactivity and other gamma rays that create disease. In conclusion, as we develop ‘sound’ bodies, we will utilise the healing power of sound to bring us back to harmony.
Debt and the belief in scarcity will be removed from our consciousness as we move into co-creative social behaviour. In truth, within the source – infinitely unfolding creative possibility full of love and joy – there is no scarcity, and so we will remember that we are sorcerers, drawing our abundant creative energies from its wise and bountiful presence. Through this belief, wealth will be redistributed, and abundance will be restored from a belief in the purity of the force, rather than the current heavy reliance on other thought paradigms or substances like fossil fuels.
New discoveries within the field of information technology will abound, allowing communication devices and social networking to permit access to anyone anywhere at anytime. And through the achievements within the science of holography, the innovation of teleportation will arise, for through holograms we allow instantaneous connection with past and future events. This increased communication means that working competitively will result in us managing our lives collaboratively, and so everyone benefits. This satisfaction of shared commerce means no one is needy as the energy of love proliferates.
Nourished by these foretellings, I hope you have all the love and abundance you need, and may you create, and create and create.

Just two years ago, I was working in a book store and I knew that I wanted a career not a job. I had always been interested in the oriental view of health and healing, so I looked at many therapies and many colleges but they all seemed either too long, too vague or too dogma-laden.
A friend suggested trying Kore therapy. Kore therapy uses five core principles: medical systems such as traditional Chinese medicine; mind-body therapies such as NLP; manual therapies such as acupressure; and bioenergetic therapies such as Qigong. So I went for a Kore therapy treatment and was instantly struck by how practical, immediate and profound the therapy was. Within days, I had booked my place on their next therapy diploma course.
From the first day of the course, I couldn’t believe how quickly and naturally I was learning the new material. The instructor made it light and enjoyable, while helping us gain our new skills.
Before I knew it, I had my diploma and was seeing my own clients and the rest is history, as they say. I’m still amazed at how quickly I have gone from having a job to having a successful practice and doing something that I love and enjoy.

Crop circles represent many things for many people. I have never stood in one so I am not qualified to comment in that regard. However, I have spent many hours totalling days immersed in creating mandalas based on the geometry exhibited in crop circles.
There is a sacred code that keeps recurring in many circles year on year. This code was known by the architects of Stonehenge, was harnessed by the philosopher Plato and points to the patterns of the heavens. Literally. This sacred code is made up of certain power numbers: 5040 is particularly significant.
Cosmologically, the radius of the earth in miles is 3960, and the radius of the moon in miles is 1080. Add these two together and you get 5040. Mathematically, it divides the numbers one to ten at the pivotal number seven. 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 = 5040. 7 x 8 x 9 x 10 = 5040.
One crop circle appeared overnight at Whitesheet Hill in England in 2010. There were 168 small circles (84 solid and 84 with centres), multiply those by the medium-sized 30 circles (168 x 30) and you get that magic number 5040.
Gematria is an ancient art that connects letters of the Greek alphabet to each number. You can use this to translate numbers into their corresponding words. When you apply the convention of gematria to the number 5040, it means either the good or the holy.
Just for fun let’s take a look at the seven large circles remaining. Seven divided into 5040 gives you 720 – another number of this cosmic code, and through gematria, it means divine intelligence.
So there you have it: this crop circle is pointing to ‘the good, the holy, divine intelligence’ of the creative principle itself. Whoever are the authors of these divine imprints, there’s no doubt they have very enlightened minds.

With Rachel Chambers and Tricia Lyle-Stirling, I run the Dublin Therapeutic Massage Clinic. We worked together for years at another centre, playing the EuroMillions and dreaming of opening our own clinic and charity that would give massge therapy those needing it but unable to afford it. We haven’t won but when the centre closed, we were handed a client list and an opportunity.
Despite crazy circumstances – I was six months pregnant – we embraced it and opened two weeks before my son was born. We wanted to do things differently and now that we are our own bosses, we feel we can achieve this. Helping our clients in a truly holistic way, we have a passion for healing and now we can begin to realise its full potential. We can offer tools, as well as tips, to help each client move forward on their journey. We aim through treatments, listening and education to empower clients to take control of their own health: it is the client who does the healing after all.
It is important to see people progress from needing a treatment to enjoying some time out. With this approach, we are seeing amazing transformations with quicker results.
We’re having fun, that’s the best part. We are doing what we love and it’s working. We are happy, healthy and satisfied, meaning we have more to give back to our clients. We are grateful for this chance, and everyday brings us closer to our EuroMillions dream, even without the winnings.

Laughter yoga is taking off in Ireland. In the one year that I have been a laughter leader, I have seen the interest in this type of yoga grow rapidly. Simply put, it is a laughter class. Yoga is a Sanskrit word, literally meaning to join or unite. In this case, it is union through sharing laughter together.
A typical laughter class starts off with some breath work to relax the mind and help us to be fully present in the class. This is followed by childlike playfulness that is lead by the laughter leaders. All you need to do is play along. It is proven that fake laughter is as beneficial as real laughter. The body can not tell the difference. Being in an environment surrounded by laughing people, it is very easy to forget ourselves and get caught up in the silliness of it all. And that’s what its all about.
Laughter yoga is extremely effective at bonding people together, as laughter is a universal language and a much deeper form of communication than words. I see laughter yoga as a means of practising laughter and consciously choosing to feel good.
