Getting the most out of your home !

Getting the most from your Home !
As I explained in my last blog, I believe that houses hold memories of all the events that have taken place in them !
In order to get the most from your home, I suggest space clearing every six months or so, this gets rid of the negative energy and enhances the positive. Making your home more comfortable place to be and even can enhance your health and relationships.
How can you do this? In fact it is very easy although very weird but incredibly wonderful!
Keep an open mind and give it a go, here are step by step instructions.....
1) always best to clean first
2) make sure you have candles, incense or white sage (this can be brought over the
Internet, but incense will do just as well) a bell or singing bowl
3) after you have cleaned have a strong intention in your mind ' I am clearing the energy
In my home to enhance the positive'
4) light a candle (if you can in each room) tea lights are good as can be left to burn out
and this is ideal.
5) light the incense, I prefer to do one room at a time, but you can do the whole house
together. Wave the incense so the smoke gets in every corner, along every wall, with
the intension of clearing the energy.
6) now clap, listen, you will hear the energy change from an echoey sound to a deeper
sound, pay special attention to the corners, as energy gathers here!
7) now use you bell and do the same again, I like to use 2 or 3 bells and then a singing
bowl, as all sounds have a different vibration, but one is fine !
8) if you like you can stand in the middle of the room and take a deep breath and breath
out love and imagine, that your love fills every corner ! If you don't feel comfortable
Doing that then don't !
That is how you can really get the most out of your home ! Your intention is the most important this, go with what feels right for you, there are no time limits how long or not you should do each step.
The first time you do this you will feel like a nutter, but then it just becomes normal the more you do it !
I told you it was weird, but give it a go, you will feel the difference !
Happy space clearing !

Love your home but .........
Wednesday, February 13, 2013
LOVE your home but .....
- something just isn't right
- have unexplained smells
- objects move
- unexplained noises
- uncomfortable feeling
- you are often unwell
- mood swings
These things can happen because everything that happens in a building is imprinted into the fabric of the structure. Actions, behaviours, strong emotion, traumas, illnesses and death can all leave these imprints.
If you have ever had the experience of walking into a room after an argument, you know you can literally feel it, people say 'you can cut the air with a knife!'
This is true of all imprints, even if you can not feel it, it may still be having an impact on your health and happiness.
The good news is that these negative imprints can be removed !

Clutter !
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Clutter !
What is clutter ? Well it is all the junk that we all have in our houses, that have no purpose, no sentimental value or that we have just stopped using !
If you have moved to Spain, it is more than likely when you moved here you got rid of a lot of stuff, I know we did ! But over time it builds up again.
But is this having a negative impact of your health ? Maybe !
Are you tired for no reason, even embarrassed to invite people over ?
By clearing the clutter you may just find more energy. If your house is a mess, get rid of the embarrassment and tidy it, you will feel better !
The bigger the mess gets, the harder it becomes to sort out !
You have three choices
1) leave it (but it will never get better)
2) just get on with it ! Ok I really don't want to do this but if I don't it will stay the same !
3) email me and I will give you free one to one email advise (samritchie419@gmail.com)
A good rule is if you haven't used it,or with clothes worn it for more than two years you are not going to, so get rid !!
If something has sentimental value, that is a different thing ! Only get rid if it is now time to let it go and you will know !
Their are many charity shops, that will be delighted to have your clutter and also don't be afraid of the rubbish bin!
Happy clutter clearing !

Have Fun !
Saturday, February 9, 2013
Have fun !
Having fun and laughing makes you feel good. Your body releases chemicals into your blood stream that give you a natural high and help the body to heal itself!
Smile at a stranger in the street, most will smile back you, how does that feel ?
Great, right!
I am writing about fun today because in a few hours time I will be dressing up to join the Carnival here in Serón !
This will be our fifth year.
Year one I didn't know what to expect, my two daughters dressed up, with a group from school. I didn't dress up because I didn't know I could !
The second year I dressed up and went with the school group we were Mexicans !!
This will be the third year with a group of shop keepers. The first year we went as Scottish people, they thought I would know about Scottish culture and music because I am British, I had to explain I come from near London, have never been to Scotland, so know as much as them !
Last year we were the 101 Dalmatians and came third wining 100euro prize which went into the pot for the drinks and food at the next fiesta !
The Spanish understand the importance of fun, family and friends. As a rule they are much healthier and happy !
Go to your local carnival, you don't have to dress up, although it is always good to get in touch with your inner child ! Watch everyone having fun, you will find that just by watching it, puts you into a happier place. Enjoy !

Friendship !
Friday, February 8, 2013
'Friendship is not about who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you" and proved it.'
Thought I would share this quote with you today.
People come and go in our lives, some are constant and always there for you without judging, even if they don't agree with you. These are special and rare. I am lucky to have some of these living Angels in my life. Now we live in Spain we may not see each other from one year to the next, but I know they are there and they know I am here for them, always.
Living in a different country brings up some strange friendships. Look around you, are you spending time with people you like and if lived in England would spend time with ? I know that when we first arrived here we spent time with people only because we couldn't speak Spanish. As time has gone on we have found out, mainly the hard way, that they are not friends. But every time they stabbed us in the back, it hurt a little more. I found it hard to believe that people can act the way the have towards us, I would never treat people like that, yet for some reason I had attracted these people ( some of whom were damed right vial to us). I have learned to follow my heart and that has left us in an amazing position, we have managed to loss the chuff and keep the true friends, the ones who prove it !
Today I was given the opportunity to prove I am a friend. I was at the market in Serón, early, straight from dropping the girls at school. A Spanish friend I may have known at the most 2 years, has a stall every Friday. She was delighted to see me and asked if I had lots to do or would it be a quick visit. I told her I wouldn't take long, 'great' she said can you get me some cable ties. As I was walking past the shop anyway it wasn't a big favour, so of course I did. On my return she started to try to hold up these big metal hooks and tie them to the wrecker behind her stall, on her own. At which point I jumped behind and held it for her. This small act didn't only help her but made me feel great.
See if you can prove you are a friend to someone today, really it will make both of you feel amazing !
'Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap,
But by the seeds that you plant.'
Robert Louis Stevenson
A kind act today will come back to you in the future !

Feel better !
Tuesday, February 5, 2013
First of all I would like to share a great tip that I saw on facebook earlier which really falls into the category Weird and Wonderful.
Use a trouser coat hanger to hold up recipes, attach it to the kitchen unit door, leaving you with more work space and no more splashes on your recipes !
Thought of you guys when I saw that one !!
Is there something not as you would like it in your life ?
Health, relationships or finances ?
Feel better about this issue, a very easy way and you may find the problem just melts away and even if it doesn't it will not be a weight around your neck !
These is very simple but not always easy !
Be grateful for what you do have !
Find a stone or if like me you love Crystals, a tumble stone. Turn this into your gratitude stone.
Every night before you go to sleep hold it in your hand and think of all the things that happened during the day to be grateful for.
The next morning start your day being grateful for being alive.
Turn it into a habit, look around you, be grateful for the roof over your head, the food in your tummy, the clothes on your back, the more you do it the easier it becomes.
Even when you are feeling hopeless about a situation there is always something to be grateful for and by looking for it will, not only make you feel better, but also attract more things for you to be grateful for.
Click on the link 'The Secret' to find out more about attracting what you want in your life.
If you would like your very own Crystal tumble stone contact Shambala retreat.
One last thing the tapping solutions world summit started last night, but you can listen to replays via that link.
Thank you for reading !

Give yourself head space !
Monday, February 4, 2013
After reading Gerald's blog 'The Phony Move' I have decided to share with you how I get things done on a daily basis and when have a big project, like moving to Spain on a monthly basis.
I start everyday by writing a list of things to do, I call it my daily B.P. (battle plan), you can call it, my to do list or what ever you like, it is your list.
There are two ways you can lay it out first, you can list and number the items with the most urgent being number 1 or if like me your brain can't order without it being on paper you can just write them in list form.
Why is this so helpful ?
Because it gets it out of your head, which means you have space to get the jobs done, rather than just thinking about all you have to do. You can forget all the jobs and just concentrate on one thing at a time.
I like to put things that have to happen everyday, like taking the kids to school, because I do it anyway, but when I cross it off my list, it feels great, I am achieving what I set out for the day !
When you have a big project, you may want to do a longer term BP (battle plan) this of course will change as you remember things and other things may turn out not to need doing so you can just cross them out.
Transfer the most important things on to your daily BP.
You can do a project BP, a weekly or monthly BP whatever suits you best.
I find that it makes life less overwhelming and manageable.
I have been doing BP's everyday for about 16 years, it really helps me stay focused without stressing and get the job done !
Give it a try, does it seem easier ? Also things can roll over to other days.
For example I agreed to teach a Spanish bar owner how to make Chilli con carne, but she was unable to do it on the day we had arranged, so that rolled over to another day.
Things happen, be flexible !!
Give yourself head space and give it a go !

What is Tapping ?
Saturday, February 2, 2013
Have you heard of EFT or Tapping ?
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technic.
If you have a problem anything ranging from pain to anger and anything In between this may help you !
On the surface it appears to be really weird and off the wall, however if you can get past that it really does work and the best bit is you can learn to do it yourself and it is totally free !
Basically you tap on a number of meridian points around the body, whilst speaking out your problem - for example if you have a headache you would go through these points saying something like : Even though I have this headache I deeply and completely accept myself.
I highly recommend that you take a look at the link for The Tapping Solution, this is a website which offers free advise and even a video of how to start. It is really easy and I have never paid a penny for this information.
There are professionals who can help with one to ones, if you feel the video isn't enough for you, however I don't know of any in Spain, if you do please add their contact details in the comment box !
I have been using this technic for about six years after teaching myself from a book, I didn't have the benefit of 'The Tapping Solution ' website and video.
It really came into its own at my Mum's funeral, I had decided that I wanted to read a poem, but as I sat in the church I became overwhelmed with grief and lost control of the tears. I managed to regain control by using just one of the tapping points called 'The Karate Chop' on the side of my hand. Thanks to this technic I was able to read the poem and send my Mum off in the way I wanted, I know that without it I would have been unable to do so.
So as you can see although yes it looks weird, it really is wonderful !
If you have any issues in your life I can not recommend strong enough that you take a few minutes to watch the how to start video on 'the Tapping Solution ' link.
Also they have an Internet Tapping World summit starting on February 4th, again this is free to listen into, I listened a few years ago and it is well worth the time, I will be again this year !
One last thing for today relating to yesterday's blog, Olive oil also removes children's face paint when nothing else will, I had 4 red children here earlier and now they are back to normal !!
Until next time happy tapping !

Do you know ? And olive oil !
Friday, February 1, 2013
Do you know how many different uses there are for Olive oil ?
Do you know what chemicals are in your everyday bathroom products ?
Okay let's start by naming just two ingredients that when you take a look will appear in most of your bathroom products, lets name them and discuss what possible impact they may have on your health.
1) Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS)
This is a harsh detergent and wetting agent used in garage floor cleaners, engine degreasers and auto cleaning products.
SLS is well know in the scientific community as a common skin irritant. It is rapidly absorbed and retained in eyes, brain, heart and liver, which may result in harmful long term effects. SLS can also delay healing, cause cataracts in adults and prevent children's eyes developing properly.
2) Propylene Glycol
A cosmetic form of mineral oil found in automatic brake and hydraulic fluid and industrial antifreeze. In skin and hair products it works as a humecent, which is a substance that retains the moisture content of skin or cosmetic products by preventing the escape of moisture or water. Material Safety Data Sheets warns users to avoid skin contact with Propylene Glycol as this strong skin irritant can cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage.
Now these ingredients may not cause you any problems at all, however for me it was a risk I was not prepared to take. As a result of changing my bathroom products the psoriasis I suffered with since the age of 16 became 80% better, that's life changing !
I do know people with a range of different skin complains that have disappeared by removing such chemicals.
Go have a look in your bathroom, shocking isn't it all or almost all your product have these in ?
Good news you can buy products without these nasty chemicals in, if you look hard enough in the shops they can be found or take a look at the linked website. The website is for a company I have been using for over 10 years called Neways they do NOT have over 3000 ingredients that have a questionable nature.
Now for Olive Oil, living in Spain if you are like us you will have it in your kitchen. Most of my cooking is done with Olive Oil.
But if you find that your body lotion has questionable ingredients, you now have a choose at your finger tips right now ! Try it don't use the body lotion use the Olive oil, I promise you will feel a difference, your skin will feel smooth, soft and healthier. Maybe don't use olive oil on your face during the day as leaves a shine and also in the summer you may burn !
Also you could heat it slightly (only slightly or it will burn you!) and use it in your hair is a fab hair conditioner and brilliant if have a scalp problem, you can leave it on over night, cover the pillow with a towel to avoid marking ! Wash out well, otherwise you will look a light unwashed !
Olive oil makes a great eye makeup remover
Add to a warm bath add your favourite essential oil, lay back and relax
More off the wall uses :
Use to clean garden tools
To make stainless steel shiny
Free a stuck zip
Get rid of headlice (nits) change shampoo to one without chemicals to avoid getting them again ! My kids have never had them, whilst rest of the class have, only difference is the shampoo !
Furnish polish
Will remove those horrible sticker marks
Polish shoes
Pour a small amount into an aching ear and watch the pain disappear (if it doesn't see your doctor)
Go ahead try it ! Olive oil is for so much more than just cooking !
ENJOY!
