Forthcoming Workshops

HEALING and SELF-HEALING WORKSHOPS
with Dr. HELEN FORD

Tel: 01384 379740 (Stourbridge) - 01766 762559 (Ffestiniog)

Basically everything I do in these workshops is directed towards living in a love based reality by being true to your own soul and consistently putting your heart into what feels totally right to your inner being. Inevitably this means working through the various influences that drag us or lure us into the other available realities, including the miasms. This can be fun if you take it in the right way - rather like the challenge of playing a video game where you know you can win once you have located the enemies and mastered the best moves to defeat them! So the approach that I take in the workshops is to find ways for all of us to enjoy the process and have a nice time together whilst doing the work

The weekend workshops (Friday evening to Sunday afternoon ) at my farmhouse in Ffestiniog, Snowdonia, are generally more productive of really deep understanding and constructive change than a day workshop. However, if you can't manage a weekend, there are some workshops in Stourbridge, which is pretty central, being close to Birmingham . Also if you would like me to do a day workshop or an evening/daytime talk in your area just ask. I have taken to doing day workshops for mothers with kids starting around 9.30 am and ending around 4pm. These seem to work well. You just need to get 6 people together for me and someone's house to work in. Everyone brings food to share and we have a good time together.

Workshops in Wales include (shared) accommodation or you can camp.(All beds provided with full bedding and electric blankets!) Everyone brings food to share for the weekend and also shares in either preparing meals or cleaning up afterwards, so bring food that you like with you. Remember, we are in the mountains so bring warm clothes and good boots in winter and lots of strong sun cream in summer.

Regarding the aura diagnosis courses; I am constantly looking for ways to help people (and myself!) to reconnect with all aspects of their own truth and sort out their own issues for themselves. I feel delighted to have found a really effective way of doing this through the aura diagnosis courses. Once you have mastered the basic techniques, this becomes a brilliant way to access and resolve your own blocks, including the more difficult inherited parental, ancestral influences, miasms and unfinished business from past lives. You can learn to do all these for yourself in part 4. This does of course mean completing the first three parts first unless you already have considerable experience in reading auras and are familiar with the recognition of miasms, in which case you can do part 1 and go straight on to part 3. If you are really committed to being true to your own soul, then this series of courses will give you the tools you need and after that it is up to you to practice until the desired perfection eventually arrives! The other great thing about these courses is the way they make it completely clear that everyone does fundamentally have their own answers to their own issues.

If you are interested in learning to do the aura diagnosis or even just taking part in the courses for the sake of the tremendous amount of insight and healing you can get from them, then phone me as I generally wait until I have 6 people before starting a new series.  

The other thing is that I still do random courses at short notice, especially the healing for spirits of the dead, so it’s worth phoning me if you suddenly fancy doing a workshop and there’s nothing on this website at the time

I I haven' t quite confirmed certain dates for 2011 so this is just what I am sure of right now. There will be more! My aim is to do as many as possible of the LIving the Right Life of your Soul workshops for different groups of people because this is a really really helpful workshop for anyone who wants to stay aligned with the loving reality that Spirit offers to all of us.

By the way sorry about the apparently random fonts and various bolds and non bolds in the following text. Unfortunately none of my computer clever offspring were here when I typed this and it seems to have just done its own thing!

January 15/16 w/end Wales ** New Year Special** £100

This workshop will be about getting a really clear picture of the habitual paths we might unthinkingly follow during this next year and getting an even clearer picture of the paths that Spirit makes available to us. You will get a clear sense of the paths that are s right for your own soul in areas of personal growth, business and relationshipsand make a remedy for yourself to carry you through this next year. We will also be looking at specific fears that may inhibit your choice of personal right path and do some work in healing these fears for ourselves and others.

******* Resolving Old Fears ********

Sunday February15 Stourbridge £50, £35 concessions 9.30 am to 4.30 pm

This workshop is intended as a follow on to Living the Right Life of Your Soul

The reason we don't just follow the natural flow of our own souls is that we accumuulate fears which inhibit us from doing so. We inherit some fears from our mother which we acquire by passive absorbtion in the womb. We also absorb fears from our surroundings, from the prevailing attitudes in our society and in our particular social grouping. We also develop fear as a result of direct shock. The worst shocks occur when we are innocently doing what comes naturally with a completely open heart and we receive a blow from some negative energy in our environment - this may be a result of someone else's fear or their jealousy - whatever it is it invariably comes from someone who is not currently being fully true to his or her own soul. Since young children tend to take everything personally, they generally believe that their own behaviour is directly responsible for the negative input. As a result they learn to shut down their own truth or at least keep it well hidden whenever they sense the presence of any negative energy that resembles that of the original agent of shock. As a result many people find it very difficult to maintain the open heart that is neccessary to success and fulfilment in the world. Some also come to feel that they cannot trust their own feelings of inner rightness and others come to doubt their own direct perceptions of what is really going on.

This workshop looks at these fears and at how we can train ourselves to maintain an open heart and trust our own inner rightness even when faced with situations similar to those which we have learned to fear and have shrunk from in the past. We also look at ways in which the offer of love/approval and the threats of withdrawal of love/approval may have influenced us and caused us to deviate from our own right paths. We see how we can replace a need for love/approval from others by the awareness that we are always loved and supported by Spirit and the understanding that doing what feels right to the soul will always draw true love to us as we proceed through life

.March 12/13 w/e ***Exploring Illusory Realities***** Wales £100

This will be about the way we shift between the brilliant reality Spirit offers us on a daily basis and the other realities that vie for our attention. We will particularly be concentrating on the miasms and especially the syphylitic miasm. We will be looking at what makes us vulnerable to the miasms, like not trusting our own intuition and doubting the information we acquire through our own 6th senses, not believing that our own inner truth has the power to create what we want or bring about truly reliable and satisfying connections. We will also look at the lingering effects of childhood fears, especially fears of judgement and of abandonment. We will look at ways to free ourselves from the influences of illusory realities and to strengthen our own buffer zone of love and light. We will also look at ways to let go of attatchment to past injury so that we can have compassion for those whose actions may have caused us harm and thereby free ourselves from continuing to be influenced by them. (Carrying a sense of injury attaches you to the injury itself and to the person who has caused it.)

If you fancy this workshop please phone me on my mobile 0954412973 as I shall be away until just before the workshop begins Thanks

Sunday April10 * Living the Right Life of your Soul* Stourbridge£50, (£35 concessiojns) 9.30 am to 4pm

This is a workshop for those who sincerely wish to be completely true to their own soul and  are willing to take full responsibility for their own lives and the consequences of their own choice of actions

Each soul has its own right place in spirit’s perfect reality. Each of us is free to choose to enter that place. Entry is theoretically simple- all you have to do is listen inwards to the true desires of your inner being, pay careful attention to your own feelings of inner rightness and put your whole heart into taking the actions that feel good and right to you. Not as easy as you may think when you have a whole load of learned habitual responses to the environment that can quite easily either over-ride your own inner knowing of what is right for you or interfere with your ability to get on with it with an open heart!

If you do shut down your own inner knowing or close your own heart or fail to take action on what feels inwardly right to you then you will end up in a different space, in a man made reality. We are surrounded by people living (and unfortunately beleiving in!) man made realities. However there are also many people who offer us inspiration about how to live according to inner truth and be happy, successful and fulfilled. So we have the opportunity to look at the facts of what brings happiness and fulfilment and what brings unhappiness and dissatisfaction. This workshop is about understanding and demonstrating that Spirit’s reality is always available to everyone and that everyone has the wherewithal to take their own right place within it. The aim of this workshop is to help you stay centred in your own soul's truth and aligned with spirit's perfect reality. It is also to help you get back into truth when you have been shifted out and to prepare for situations that habitually knock you off centre so that you can stay steady when they do occur.

We start the day by a cleansing meditation. We go on to work on methods of aligning with soul’s truth. We consider how we can be sure of right action and direction and how we can recognise the true desires of the heart i.e. the ones that come into us direct from Spirit ('god ideas' my friend calls them!) We consider how we can come to trust the direct knowing that comes to us though our 6th senses and how it can often help us far more than the knowledge that comes to us from others as information. We look at ways to maintain a full and open expression of soul’s truth even in difficult circumstances and at how we can develop a deepening trust in the support that is offered from the spiritual dimension for every action that derives directly from the soul.  Then we do an exercise using our own direct perception to find out what Spirit’s reality is offering us for that day and how we can help ourselves align with it. We also discern which of the energy patterns that are approaching us from the future or are already present have the potential to tip us out of centre and into a man made reality. We then work with our own inner guidance to find the best way for the soul to meet these potential hazards from a strongly centered place

* Living in Harmony with Spirit and Your Own Soul *Sunday April 17 Afternoon Talk in Bristol for New Dimensions time 3 pm, place Friends Meeting House, 126 Hampton road, Redland, contact leasurs@tiscali.co.uk for details.

Helen will explain how the life your heart/soul desires is already there waiting for you to step into. To access this life you need to be fully aligned with your own inner being and be willing to listen carefully to the internal signals which consistently provide you with clear information about your soul's plan. Helen will discuss methods of alignment and explain what inner signals you need to look out for and what each of them is telling you. She will talk about ways you can bring dreams out of the mind/imagination and into their perfect physical manifestation so creating your own particular piece of heaven here on earth. Helen will also consider ways to deal effectively with external pressures that frequently inhibit the expression of the soul, such as incoming projections and judgements, anger, jealousy and the fears and suffering of others. www.drhelenford.co.uk

May28/29/30 ***The Whole Truth Workshop**** Wales £120 This is one of the very best workshops I do. It really helps you to understand how your own energy feels when it is flowing freely and naturally through you. We go through each of the chakras in turn so you can see for yourself what each of them does for you. This helps you increase your own confidence about knowing and doing what is right for you. The workshop also helps you to become more aware of the signals from your own body and those from your spirit's internal warning system that will tell you when some external trigger has tipped you away from your soul's natural flow. We also look at ways to help each chakra return to its natural flow when its energy has been blocked.

I will be doing two separate weeks this year. The first is combined with a raw food detox and for the second you may continue with the raw food if you wish. These workshops are about thoroughly clearing yourself of the things that interfere with the free flow of your own soul's inner light. Come for both weeks if you can as I guarantee that once you have done one week you will want to stay longer! beaches and sea and scenery amazing. We work in the mornings and a little in the evening after dark so the whole afternoon and early evening is free for beach, exploring, whatever you like. This may be the last year Kalikalos run these Greek workshops so take this opportunity if you can.

Look up the Kalikalos website (www kalikalos.com ) on the internet for details of mine and others' workshops, prices etc. Contact me about travel times so we can arrange to share transport from airport (Athens or Thessaloniki) -much cheaper, easier and more enjoyable to hire a car if more than two people are travelling at similar times.

lChoosing Your Own Reality

Wales October 1st weekend residential Cost £100

We all have the option to have a perfect day every day. Spirit makes this newly available to us at each moment regardless of what we may have done with the moment before. However there are various triggers in the environment that have come to have the power to shift us into other (man-made) realities. Spirit's reality is totally pleasurable, fulfilling, interesting, full of colour, light and beauty and completely satisfying to the heart. Man made realities are altogether duller and often painful or stressful and exhausting to live in. Yet we may have been brought up to believe we have no choice. This is not true. We do have choice. This workshop is about how to discern the man made realities that currently have the most power over your life and how to shift yourself out of them and step back into the fulfilling reality Spirit has waiting for you. Bring your best and worst memories with you! Also bring food to cook and share.

October 15 weekend The Power of Love Wales £100 Love is the greatest power that we have. Pure love can make everything right and bring everything back into its natural state of harmony. Unfortunately because love is so necessary to us it can also easily be used in an impure way to control and manipulate.

Once we know how to generate pure love for ourselves we become completely immune to manipulation. For this we need to be sure of our own individual true nature and know that this is our best gift to the world regardless of what others may seem to want of us. This workshop will look at the absolute power of pure love and at the ways in which love can be used to pressure us to shift away from our truth and at how we can effectively resist these pressures.

October 21 st PERCEIVING AURAS 7.30 p.m.

Talk and demonstration for the Greater Manchester Dowsers at The Mosses Community Centre, Cecil Street. Bury BL9 OSB

This talk will show you how to see auras, how they change according to what we are feeling and how they can be influenced by things like colour, posture and what other people are thinking about us. Helen will also explain why we come to be afraid of fully expressing ourselves and what we can do about it. She will show you how you can train yourself to resist the effects of other's fears and their judgements and projections and hold your self steady in your own true light. She will also explain how you can rid yourself of stress and disease by maintaining your own truth with a steady and open heart.

Expanding  Awareness of the Human Aura

Monday October 24 at The Natural Harmony Centre Llanerfyl, Welshpool

You can learn a great deal about yourself and about how to bring more fulfilment into your life by studying the human aura. This workshop will be about making fuller conscious use of your 6th senses - clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience (the ability to pick up feelings) and the capacity for distant viewing or direct knowing (perceiving the future, the past, under the surface and what is going on in other places) . You will find your own areas of natural strength and learn ways to strengthen any as yet undeveloped abilities to discern subtle energies.

You will see how your own attitudes and the energy field you generate can profoundly influence the way others see you and respond to you.

We will also work on techniques to help you prepare for potentially difficult situations and deal with them in the true way that comes from your inner being rather than simply falling into habitual patternsof behaviour.

I am always open to requests so if you have any particular areas of interest or any issues you specially want to deal with just let me know at the start of the day.

 Contact Nick or Carol Cumber 01938 820663 at the Centre to book. Contact me direct if you would like a one to one after the workshop

This workshop is about seeing clearly with the eyes of the heart. It is about seeing what love can do and how empty and desolate life becomes without it.
