      My friend no longer believes he is totally non-psychic, but is a little shattered to find that he reacts so badly to something he cannot see. The most unbelievable things in this world are those that we cannot see, sense or touch – that is the magic which can, in an instant, turn your life around when you experience it for the first time. I pointed out to him that these energies affect every living thing, especially birds, who have to find their way through the tangles we have created in the Earth’s magnetic circuit.

      Animals, birds and insects are particularly sensitive to negative or black energies, and avoid areas where massacres have taken place – not massacres just of their own kind, but of humans too. Where terrible crimes have been committed, like the horrors that were carried out in concentration camps, the surrounding area is completely smothered by negativity of such a high density that it forms an indelible map which can never be erased. When in the future the whole world begins to use the psyche for survival, evolved humans will be able to read this map and wonder what kind of uncivilisation lived on this planet in earlier times.

      The natural world inspires not only artists but those of us who want to interact and learn how to communicate with it. Like the human mind, the life force that surges throughout the whole of the natural world is independent of matter.

      Through the systematic poisoning and destruction of the land, it has become increasingly difficult to maintain a healthy environment. Trees, plants, hedgerows and all living matter are affected. It is vital that each and every one of us should take into account the terrible damage that greed has done to our environment and reverse this trend where we can before more major disasters occur.

      For centuries, Britain has had hedgerows, marking boundaries in a way that made our landscape look like a giant patchwork quilt. Small mammals, birds and insects found sanctuary in the tangled undergrowth, along with wild flowers that sheltered from the wind. Frogs, toads and other amphibians also sought shelter in the ditches that ran beside the hedgerows.

      Yet over the past fifty years, the heart has been ripped out of the countryside. Now little over sixty per cent of these havens are left. Without the hedges, which act as natural windbreaks, winds have forged a path through crops and copse, causing considerable damage to the environment. Little thought was given to the consequences until it was too late.

      Although farmers are now replacing some of the hedgerows, the land can never return to what it was before. The birds and other creatures which fed on and sought shelter within hedges have gone. Those which survived are few, and many have become endangered species.

      The liberal use of poisons on the land has also affected humans, as the sickness in the soil reflects the sickness in ourselves. Over forty years ago, many people – myself included – did all we could to stop the use of DDT. At that time we were considered odd (at the very least) but we were right. Unfortunately, the greed had already set in, and more and more pesticides were approved and used.

      It was clear that this insanity would gain ground, so I looked for a way to protect my family from harm and became a vitamin and mineral therapist. It was obvious to me, through study, that life-saving antioxidants were essential to healthy body maintenance.

      At that time, whenever I introduced this subject into a conversation, people looked at me as though I was speaking a foreign language. Worse, they didn’t care. Now antioxidants are being hailed as the new science and are being used to treat a host of major and minor complaints. If they had been introduced forty years ago, many lives would have been saved.

      ‘You are what you eat’ is a slogan that has been used many times to encourage people to cut out unnecessary (and possibly harmful) foods. But it applies equally to so-called healthy food such as fruit and vegetables when it has been grown on contaminated land. It is extremely difficult to find land that is clean, and in some cases it will take a hundred years or more for contaminated land to recover.

      If they have a choice, animals, birds and bees will frequent areas that are undisturbed, because their natural instincts tell them that these places have not been contaminated.

      Some farmers, who were considered too old fashioned when they kept to the old ways of farming, are now reaping the rewards. People are now prepared to pay a higher price for food that is truly organic, so that their children will have a better chance of health and survival. It is better to eat a not-so-perfect apple, grown organically, than the designer apple which may be suspect.

      Wherever you are, even if it is in the heart of a city or at the top of a tower block, you can still close your eyes and allow your mind to visit beautiful places. Free your mind and you will open your life.

      At one time I lived in the very heart of the country. Surrounded by trees, woods and valleys, it was easy to enjoy the beauty of all the seasons. But on one particularly gloomy day, I felt as though I needed something beautiful to brighten up my life, so I sat down and dreamed about the colourful birds that I had seen whilst meditating. I suppose my daydreaming lasted about fifteen minutes.

      An hour later, I decided to pick some herbs for my dinner that night. I opened the door that led into the back garden and saw, sitting on a wall immediately in front of me, two of the most beautiful peacocks I have ever seen. Our eyes met, and we stood transfixed for about five minutes. Then I quietly moved into the main part of the garden. They didn’t move an inch – and they never took their eyes off me the whole time. I stayed with the peacocks for two hours. Then, when I went back into the house, they flew away.

      I lived in that house for four years, but I never saw them again. Then again, I never dreamed about birds from the spirit world again. Magical moments come in small doses, and I didn’t want to push my luck.

      To enable you to understand what it feels like to be at one with nature I would like you to take a virtual walk with me. First of all we are going to walk through some woodland.

      Because it is spring, there is a feeling of expectancy in the air, and if you are intuitive you will be able to perceive this and absorb the energies. The crackling of the leaves underfoot will open up your senses to the past, and in doing so will automatically propel you into the future. For example, the very sound of the old leaves will remind you that in the previous year they had been fresh and green. Now dry and crunchy, they will decompose, adding nutrients to the earth which will then sustain the new life that is about to burst from the buds. If you close your eyes now, not only will you be able to visualise this, but you should also be able to hear it happening before the event. It may take time before you can experience this, but the more aware you become of your surroundings, and of the creatures that lurk in the undergrowth, the more it will become second nature to you to hear sounds and vibrations that have eluded you in the past.

      The next step is to hold out your hands as you approach a tree. Take note at what point your hands begin to tingle. This way you can judge the health of the tree by the size of its aura. The size of the aura will also depend on the type of tree you are dealing with. As you get closer to the base of the tree the strength of the aura will increase, and if you lean against the trunk, you will feel the full impact. In summer, when there is a canopy of leaves, the aura will naturally become more intense, because every leaf has an aura of its own.

      If you would like to experiment with self-healing, then you can do no better than to sit under an ancient oak tree. Noted for their longevity – a life-span of three hundred years in some cases – they also have magnificent auras. Their auras are so powerful that under favourable circumstances they can elicit a mental ‘timeslip’ which can allow you to decode the memory blueprint contained in the tree and propel your mind into СКАЧАТЬ
