‘Magical’  ‘on Earth as it is in Heaven’

When the pupil is ready the teacher appears; Throughout life we meet many teachers

Living Magically by Gill Edwards

A few years ago I was introduced to this book by a very good friend of mine – ‘Ian Brown’ (Not The Stone Roses Front man – although a spiritual lyricist if ever there was one) but one of life’s friends who have vision – a different perspective that puts the things that your thinking into some kind of rational order or coherent communication.

The Teachings;

The main ethos was about how to; Create your own heaven on earth – and learn to grow through joy… rather than struggle!

For those that are interested ‘Living Magically’ offered a magical blend of metaphysics, shamanism, psychology and spiritual awareness for everyday life.

Written in a practical, down-to-earth approach with emphasis on living with joy, creating true prosperity, fulfilling your higher purpose, freeing your soul – transforming your life -

Living Magically offers a practical wisdom that derives from the mystic heart of the world’s spiritual traditions. It encourages us to take full responsibility for our lives, to honour the Light within ourselves and others, and to create a heaven on earth.

Remembering the things that time had forgotten.

At 2.20am the morning of Saturday November 19th 2011 – A Teacher within her own right – Gill Edwards died, her family said that she had finished her mission on earth. Her Mum and her brother, Brian were with her, and her much beloved son, Kieran had been with her earlier that evening.

The family agonized about what to say to all the many thousands of people who love her and follow her work, but then Brian opened her laptop and a letter jumped out that Gill wrote to someone grieving a loss. Brian has adapted that letter, so go to the Message from Gill page here, and Gill can tell you how she would like you to think about her passing. You can also leave comments, tributes, or memories of Gill on that page.

Thank you Gill RIP.

 Hello and welcome.

I’m Dawn Pugh and I’m a registered Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist practicing in Manchester and surrounding areas

If you are reading this, then it is likely that you are in some kind of emotional distress, and you want to make changes in your life.

I have helped over 5000 people to make changes in their lives, and so live happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives – so why not you?

As an ancient Chinese sage once said;
“The longest journey starts but with one step”.

By reading this you are making that first initial step. I encourage you to continue your life’s journey along this new path to a happier, more fulfilling life.

As you continue to read my page you will begin to notice how much more attainable a happier life could be.

But only reading websites – mine or anyone else’s – will not in itself change anything! You can sit back, continue to do nothing, and hope and pray that somehow, some magical change is going to happen;

OR YOU CAN MAKE THAT CHANGE HAPPEN NOW!

You need 3 BASIC ESSENTIAL FUNDAMENTALS to make change happen:

1. BELIEVE that you can achieve the desired change

2. WANT to achieve the change

3. BE WIILING TO DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY to achieve the desired change.

If you have these three basic essentials, you no longer need to ask the question:

“Will I achieve my desired change?”

The question now becomes:

“How long will it take to achieve the desired change?”

With these three basic fundamentals in place I can guarantee results I just cannot say when these results will happen for you.

The answer, of course, depends on how committed you are to achieving change, and how experienced and expert the therapist is (and therefore how effective) is the help you could obtain.

Google lists me as being an Expert Therapist and as a Therapy Expert.

To check this out just click on any of those links above and you will usually find me at the top of the first page.

So you can see that the more experienced and expertise the therapist can offer is then reflected in the help that you obtain, then the more you gain the opportunity to achieve your desired outcomes.

No matter what tasks we undertake, generally it is much effective and somewhat easier if we can get expert help. I am an expert, but I can’t help you unless you contact me.

Because you are still reading this that tells me you are interested in getting some help and making some small but significant changes to your life.

Let me ask you; “Why do you continue to be unhappy and unfulfilled?”

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “We must become the change we want to be”.

We may not be able to change our past experiences, but we do not have to let these experiences impact negatively on our current life.

Have a browse through the following pages, but reading alone will not in itself change your life.

You need to TAKE ACTION, so I sincerely urge you, please CONTACT ME!

I offer a FREE NO OBLIGATION consultation, to enable a tailored made therapy that will suit your current needs.

I will not work with anyone whom I feel is not ready for change and does not show commitment to them selves.

Quite often I do not like to label issues and prefer to regard them as difficulties.

I’m extremely experienced at treating numerous and variable conditions such as Depression, Phobias, Panic Attacks, Anxiety, Stress, Anger, Relationship Difficulties, Lack of Self Confidence, Addiction and Bereavement – to mention just a few and might I add, the majority to a successful outcome.

I also offer Supervision to other counsellors and psychotherapists, from students up to qualified and experienced practitioners.

I offer Counselling, Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy  throughout the Greater Manchester area.

I’m within easy reach of most of Manchester and Greater Manchester by a number of ways including public transport and cover all surrounding areas, particularly Bury, Bolton, Rochdale, Oldham, Ashton, Salford and Swinton.

What happens on a First Contact therapy Session?

The first contact, sometimes called an assessment session, a consultation or even a contracting session is the opportunity to explore any issues that could affect the therapeutic relationship as well as any personal needs that you have for counseling.

Are my sessions Confidential?

Most of what you discuss is confidential between you and the counsellor or psychotherapist. There can be certain legal exceptions and you and the practitioner should clarify this prior to any business or agreement for working together. This usually means any major concerns about self-harm or suicide, current child abuse or terrorist information, by law many professionals have to disclose this.

Do your research, find counselors in the area in which you wish to be seen, get in touch with them, preferably by phone so you can hear their voice and get a general idea about them. Ask them questions like;

What time the sessions will be?

Where will they take place?

How much do the sessions cost?

How long are the sessions?

Are there any charges for cancelled appointments and holidays?

You may also wish to enquire about the counsellor or psychotherapist’s professional membership, experience and training. During this time you will build up an idea of what is involved and you will be able to make up your mind if this is a person you can work with. It is a general rule important to be clear about what you want and what the practitioner is able to offer, although often people just need to talk things through with a professional and as a result of this can make significant changes.
What do they specialize in?

What are there qualifications?

What is their registration number so that you can verify them?
After you have finished on the phone you may wish to ask yourself some of the questions below:-

1. Did I feel respected?

2. Was I allowed to talk without interruption or contradiction?

3. Were they Genuine, warm and accepting?

4. Is this someone I feel I can trust?

Remember it is your decision as to whom you appoint. You can always change your mind if you find that the therapist you have initially chosen is not suitable, as long as you are honest and declare your un-certainty at your assessment or contracting session or at any time during your sessions.

Having confidence in your therapist is crucial and will enable you to get the best out of your therapy sessions.

Funny New Year Resolutions

My friend Linda announced that she intended to lose some weight she had put on recently so decided to commence on a diet.”Great!” I exclaimed. “I need to lose some weight too. We can be dieting buddies and help each other out. When I feel the urge to drive out and get a burger and fries, I’ll call you first.” “Great!” she replied. “I’ll ride with you.”

New Year resolutions should be easy to follow. A simple rule is: Set only achievable goals. Do not expect too much from yourself. Try to find out what you can do and stick to it. Going out of the way to prove your self to others is of no use.

Do you recognize any of these funny resolution statements?

Prefix all with “I intend to….”

Spend more time with the family.

Keep fit

Quit smoking, and or reduce my alcohol/ drug intake

Enjoy life more. Work less. Take it easy.

Get out of debt

Learn something new

Help others

Get organized

Give up chocolate totally. 100%. Completely. Honestly….

What exactly is a “Resolution”?

“A New Year’s Resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a project or the reforming of a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous. The name comes from the fact that these commitments normally go into effect on New Year’s Day and remain until fulfilled or abandoned.

Recent research shows that while 52% of participants in a Resolution study were confident of success with their goals, only 12% actually achieved their goals. Men achieved their goal 22% more often when they engaged in goal setting, a system where small measurable goals are used (lose a pound a week, instead of saying “lose weight”), while women succeeded 10% more when they made their goals public and got support from their friends”.

Source: Wikipedia

Where do resolutions originate from?

The tradition of the New Year’s Resolutions goes all the way back to 153 B.C. Janus, a mythical king of early Rome was placed at the head of the calendar. With two faces, Janus could look back on past events and forward to the future. Janus became the ancient symbol for resolutions and many Romans looked for forgiveness from their enemies and also exchanged gifts before the beginning of each year.

Do rememeber that ‘All work and no play can make life really dull and boring’.

And may all your troubles last as long as your New Year’s resolutions! LOL!

Let me know your resolutions.

Alledgedly a Saguenay businessman, Chantal Audet, who worked under contract for Loto in Quebec, has developed a device that he says will effectively, stop compulsive gamblers from playing electronic gambling machines. In response ‘The province’s lottery corporation’ are not happy.

Chantal has worked on the device for two years and says it works by implanting a tiny computer chip into a person who has trouble with gambling addiction on Video lottery Terminals (VLT machines). A similar chip would then be installed on all of the province’s VLT machines, they stop working as the gambler approaches. The same technique could be used at the entrance of casinos to block access to someone at the turnstiles…

3 Ways to Relieve Stress

We all have to deal with stress. In fact, a day probably doesn’t go by when you don’t feel anxious, angry, annoyed, overworked, or just plain overwhelmed. This is why finding simple ways to relieve stress is so important.

You don’t have to go into a dark room and meditate for an hour, or drop everything and run off to a tropical island, to relieve the tensions of your daily life. In fact, there are things you can do at any time, no matter where you happen to be, that can give you instant stress relief.

Slowly Count To Ten

Yes, some problems can be stressful. But how you react to stressful situations is the key. If you immediately get worked up over every problem or challenge that pops up in your life, you’re going to spend a lot of time feeling tense and anxious. But, if you can stay relatively calm and in control, stress won’t be as much of an issue for you.

When something bad or unpleasant happens in your life, don’t react immediately. Instead, take a moment and slowly count to ten. As you count, rate the stressor on a scale of 1 to 10.

Your boss yelled at you? On the scale of bad things that can happen on any given day, that’s about a two.

You lost your keys? That’s about a 4. Not an ideal situation, but one you can handle.

Counting to ten gives you time to really evaluate the stressful situation. Once you put things in perspective, you might find it’s not worth stressing over.

Take Some Deep Breaths

In a way, stress is a fear response. One thing that happens when you are afraid or in danger is your breathing becomes quick and shallow. And the same thing can happen when you’re anxious about a busy day, or nervous about giving a speech. And this impaired breathing can actually make your stress and anxiety even worse.

So concentrate on taking slow breaths, breathing deep so that your stomach expands, then slowly letting the air out. This is a way of tricking your body into thinking the stressor is gone, and you will start to actually feel more calm as a result.  

Massage Your Temples

When they are feeling stressed, some people instinctively reach up to massage their temples. And it’s a good instinct to have.

Gently rubbing your temples in a circular motion is an acupressure technique that helps relax tense muscles, especially those in your shoulders and neck. And, as your muscles relax, some of your stress will drain away.

There are many ways to relieve stress. And, with these quick and easy techniques, you can ease tension, and help yourself feel calmer and more in control, no matter where you happen to be.

Low esteem or low self esteem can mean lack of self confidence. Low esteem can affect confidence building confidence does improve what we think of ourselves but there is rather more to low esteem than that. People with low esteem suffer low esteem symptoms, low self worth or self value and do not like themselves very much.  The key is raising low esteem and fundamentally achieving self improvement. We can do this by numerous means: Psychotherapy, Counseling, Hypnotherapy, life coaching etc… Alas! most therapist have waiting lists, so…

A good way to take action in changing your low esteem RIGHT NOW,  is to invest in a self help E-book: I have found some very effective E-books for your perusal, you will explore them and choose one which best suits your needs.

Many people in the public eye fall into this category. Actors, comedians and singers in particular can glow with assurance and confidence on stage, yet off-stage feel desperately insecure and depressed they all suffer with low esteem.

You can begin by accepting that you are certainly not alone, lots of people all over the world have this problem.
Think of the late Princess of Wales or Marilyn Monroe and you’ll see that public adulation is no guarantee of high esteem.

You are a one off. A unique individual.  Nature has made you the way that you are. So you should accept that you’re important, and that you have as much right as anyone else to be on this planet?

The word ‘esteem’ comes from a Latin word that means ‘to estimate’. Self esteem is how you estimate yourself.

People with poor or low esteem often fail to give themselves enough time and space. 

Give your self 10 minutes every day to be alone, and to just sit and do nothing.

Start  to think of yourself as someone who has rights, opinions and ideas that are just as valid as anyone Else’s.

If you’re seriously lacking in self-esteem this could take weeks, but persevere.

This will help you to improve your self esteem.

Let me know how you get on…I am interested and I would like to help.
