The choice is to heal yourself or ask someone else to do it!

There are many very illuminated and intuitive healers to go to, once you have identified a need. That need might be physical, in the form of an unexpected illness or injury that just won't go away. Or it might be a grim experience with pharmaceuticals and you suddenly realize that there must be medicines that are actually beneficial to the human body. Then of course there are the extreme allergens these days and people want someone to tell them what they need to avoid!

All these situations are on a different tangent to the Energy Clearing we're working on here. Here at Harmony Hall, we have realized that we ourselves have created our every experience. Yes, that means that our allergic reactions are our very own aversion to something. The unexpected injury is recognized as one of our very own unacknowledged sabotaging dynamics shooting us in the foot, just when we set about doing the thing we always wanted to do. And also, the grim pharmaceutical side effects are the clues we've all needed, to at last wake up and realize that we have been operating with a slight victim mentality: We would rather put our well-being in the hands of others. We put our money in the bank, take our illness to the doctor, our fear to the psychiatrist and sweep our feelings under the carpet... or off to the anti-depressants to keep a lid on them or throw our weight around in an abusive, projected attempt to shake off the bad feeling.

Some great people on the alternative health circuit will meet people half way with this mentality.  It is a valid booking after all. Miracles are worked and incredible intuition is levied and great healing occurs. They include the masseurs and everyone who offers a treatment. They are saying, in effect, we will take some responsibility for your condition for you and try and cure it, or ease it. The thing about pain is, however, that it is only the person's own acknowledgement it needs. No one else's.

So with energy clearing, we hold a space for people to compassionately look at themselves and realize their own ability to heal. That is the thing about energy. It is quantum healing, instant. It points to the fact that nothing is really solid or damaged, there are just energies seeking expression through us. It is up to us every time, whether we share the good, the bad or the indifferent. The sink of indifference is the worst, the bad is the negative drain on our spirits and literally negative creation in action. The good is the commitment to allow love to shine through all our interactions and to genuinely see the gift in every experience. Responsibility becomes no longer a source of added guilt, but instead a source of empowerment. It is also a motivation to set our intentions well and clearly, as we know that 'what we think about will come about'. We had better make it groovy.

So the people who will benefit from energy clearing are those that have seen that their own thoughts are having a negative  effect on their lives and they want to take the power back. Also it will help those that have taken the healing journey already, as far as they can, and are ready to reap the rewards of their expanded awareness.


How To Live As One by Frances Micklem - a guide to healing negativity and moving from an old paradigm way of thinking to a new

A Clear Description of the Personal and Professional Wellbeing & Advocacy service offered by Frances Micklem

Healing by Franc offers an internationally traded healing service. It is a knowledge-based service, offering an innovative reconnection to your real self, in all its glory and potential. Via a deep acknowledgement of your past and aspects of the present, a person is freed from the misplaced identification with narrow roles and limiting beliefs. During the process, the person learns skills of objectivity, perspective and empathy themselves. This continued clarity and ability to navigate through previously emotionally charged situations, leads to self mastery in the highest degree. Energy clearing guides the client from a disempowered way of life, believing that everything happens to us to a new life of peaceful presence and future creations, each consciously chosen, to look forward to.

Energy Clearing is part of the growing culture of alternative health and sustainability. This service is unique, my clients have said, as it offers the missing part of the jigsaw for many people on a spiritual path. I think this may be because I always deal with soul retrieval first. 94% of people across the globe are living without any connection to their soul. Rather than this being a necessary survival mechanism in a busy world with many unfeeling practices, it is actually life threatening. Back in the days before modern medicine, soul loss was documented as the number one cause of death - preempting every disease of the body, mind or even accident.

There are so many ways to work that living in the wilds of Harmony Hall BioArchitecture Retreat seems to offer a perfect setting, rather than a remote location. Some clients send me a greetings card with details of which of their offspring they want cleared - the son in Australia who couldn't find work - the son in Dublin who was being harangued at work - the daughter with Fibre Mialga (spelling always tricky with that ailment) who hadn't been able to get out of bed for months. Others come for a first clearing and then have phone appointments for clarity and support. I work with others on Skype and then there's the fun part when I'm flown in, in person, to clear a new house of its predecessor's traces or a troubled trusty steed. This is crucial work, a real investment in yourself and a chance at a clean slate.

If you like the sound of it but you are more DIY in style, I have a book out called How To Live As One How To Live As One by Frances Micklem - a guide to healing negativity and moving from an old paradigm way of thinking to a new and a video shows the simple tools in action on the Healing by Franc website. Radio shows every Thursday and Saturday on The Creating Calm Network and more videos to follow on my you tube channel. Maybe see you on the dark side…but will definitely see you once you come back into the light, lots of love Frances

In our green and pleasant land of heroes, poets and wilderness!

2000 babies found in an unmarked grave in Ireland! They were killed effectively by a drug company during a trial of drugs for diphtheria. I think they could have safely assessed, after the first one or two, that the drug wasn't great. Then there's talk about nuns handing over babies born or letting them die. So we make our choices about who to blame. The church for their cruelty, righteous judgement, abuse and neglect….or the drug companies for their extreme disregard for life, their misuse of money in covering it up (this particular heap of bodies has been known about for 36 years!) or their systematic degradation of the human life form, oh yes and animals, oh yes and our food and not forgetting our environment! Hang on, we have a common theme here. Are the drug companies our new religion? Governments daren't challenge them, they hold most of the money and they are completely unaccountable….there seems to be a common thread forming here!!

Often I come across horrible old and new practices from other countries, abuses that would've shocked but have now been assimilated into education and thought. Today I am gobsmacked by our very own Ireland and its heavy secrets. Children fostered out as slaves for sexual abuse, 7 days of work, zero food … The government oversaw the system and rather than acknowledge and make amends to those who suffered, they cover it up and denied all knowledge, right up until now. Lets face these glaring malfunctions as they come to light. This is not an old boys' club it is a country of 7 million ish people, all with something to contribute. Well done to the queen of England for taking the decision that the people can sack members of parliament. Lets empower ourselves with clarity and get creative about how we're going to heal the nightmare we've woken up in the middle of. We can't do it as victims but we can can definitely do it as conscious agents.  

Getting centred on a Sunday!

The top ten things I love to do:

Romance - a tantra course should expand on that aspect of life, where desire and conscious manifesting work together for the good, bordering on the totally groovy.

Heal - an energetic adventure into releasing the illusions of separation that keep us from the ocean of life force available to us and that we really are.

Magic - those moments when you realize the whole universe is conspiring on your behalf to bring the people and situations you need, right on time

Ride the horse - to sit on Windy and set off is to instantly transport myself into the the best day of my life, so far…every time.

Write - 'telling it like it is' and 'envisioning it like it could be' documents. It is an area of self-trust and a gift of clarity that I will always be grateful for.

Play the piano and guitar - not usually at once! That 7th dimension of sound is important to me and a God-send in reaching beyond the mundane perspectives.

Dance - It has always been salsa for me but I saw Irish dancing like never before recently and it was as rhythmic and embodying as any flamenco drama I've had the pleasure to watch. Turning any music up and moving is enough though as no-one will know choreographed or graceful my actual dance was.

Garden - There's going to be soya, potatoes, peas and 50 million other things but even tending the soil and breaking it up by hand takes me down in to first gear, peaceful and purposeful.

Chat to the animals in my life. Its the way I have to keep learning and keep loving.

World wide ban on genetic modification and any use of chemicals in agriculture!

There is so much we can do. Lets stop Monsanto. Literally a world wide ban on the use of chemicals and genetic modification, with immediate effect. Jobs will change but not be lost as we will still produce food. Old skills and knowledge will have to be revived to grow organically. New technology is already available to save seeds and sort out the wheat from the chaff….on every level. Great to see so many at the Millions Against Monsanto march yesterday. Lets keep the momentum going and correct this situation once and for all!

Animal Welfare Act - letter to cut and paste today and add what you want!

simon.coveney@oir.ie

Simon Coveney TD and Agricultural Minister is meeting at Dublin Castle at 11am tomorrow to discuss the Animal Welfare Act.

Dear Simon Coveney TD,

Please do your best for the animals tomorrow. I understand that you are deciding the animal welfare act tomorrow. This is a very emotive subject because it is so upsetting to see so much unacknowledged suffering. Please see the demonstrators as the good people of Ireland in general. Everyone here loves animals and would love to see neglect and cruelty stopped. The few of us that you will see are the ones that have the heart, the strength of their convictions and the trust in your department, to turn up and let the government know what is really happening to animals. We hope that you will be motivated to address it, stop it and put regulations in place. Please take this opportunity to expose cruel underlying practices and make them illegal. It is only greed and an unwillingness to change that keep these situations going. We are all relying on you.

1.     Dogs and Cats

It is important to promote neutering and rehoming. It could be that all money from licenses goes towards vouchers for neutering to vet’s and rescue services. It could be that breeding is penalized and rehoming is supported. It could be that people who have animals are told to take a companion animal from a rescue centre. Possibly even one for one. If you have 5 competition dogs or horses, you most likely have the infrastructure, food and land to match that. Or the cost of the additional keep go to the rescue organizations so they can do what’s needed there. It has come to my attention that Europe has paid the Romanian government a lot to support a neutering programme but instead the money has been kept and a massive cull been authorized. Anybody who brings in a dog gets something. This alerts us to the fact that vouchers rather than money should be used so that the good work can be definitely carried out. Also, the SPCA s should be regulated and expanded so that all cases can be checked and addressed. For example, in all of County Kilkenny there is only one horse inspector. Grants and benefits should be available for smaller, professional good will ventures. Puppy farms should be closed.   

2.     Cows, Pigs and Sheep

There are thousands of vegans, like myself, and vegetarians in Ireland who do not believe that it is appropriate anymore to kill another to feed ourselves, when there are so many alternatives. It would be in keeping with the wishes and choices of the people to offer incentives to farmers to convert to growing crops. The climate cost of so many animals is well known as is the amount of water farmed animals use. Many people understand that the grain animals eat would itself go a long way to feeding the world’s population. Rather than producing one meal on one table.

I understand that you yourself have a farm and there might be resistance to change from many of  your voters. While the industry is still going strong therefore, please consider the following amendments. There should be no intensive farming. There is a place in Kildare that takes ‘organic’ raised cows and fattens them over 3 months in intensive conditions. During this time they are given antibiotics to stop the spread of disease and they are fed non organic grain.

Even if you have difficulty summoning up the compassion in your peers to care for animals, please focus on their place in the food chain. Genetically modified feed and chemically sprayed feed brings the toxicity in to the human body. Nicotinoids in round up and all the other pesticides and herbicides do not get processed by the body. They are accumulative.

 

Put in legislation tomorrow to protect the earth, the population, the biodiversity, the farm animals, sport animals and pets. Farmers, via Monsanto and other pharmaceutical companies have been unleashing pathagons into the eco system and the human food chain. All these things are connected. The time of neutrality is over. Don’t let businesses make up their own minds on their own practices, you must influence them. Please be clear in your intention tomorrow. Intentions to date have been short term; to control the source of food, make money and use, misuse and abuse whatever and whoever comes to hand. Medium-term outcomes will be to destroy the eco system and the human being’s ability to live on the planet. What level of hideousness are you prepared to witness or address?

Rabbits for Angora wool ripped out of their bodies? Fur farms? Factory farms, abbatoirs. I ask you to spare a thought for the logistics of these places? In fur farms for example, thousands of animals being skinned – less that half of them dead before it happens. Fur farming has to be banned. It is completely unnecessary.

Ireland has a reputation for its green fields and healthy produce but we all know that this is a veil of illusion. I only eat organic food and in 50 metres of vegetables in each supermarket and small grocers there is often not one pesticide-free product, let alone fully organic. The reputation suits farmers but those cows have often not seen grass for months because the ground is too wet and the grain they are fed is full of chemicals. Many breeds of cow do not even have the lung capacity to live past 2 years  as they are fed so heavily to fatten them up. Then there are the laws that say cows should be killed around the 18 month, two year mark which must serve someone. It is probably difficult to keep them alive without drugs longer than that. Whatever is happening, the good reputation is not a true story. It is bad practice, sad practice and toxic practice hidden behind a green and pleasant façade. We need to clean up our act as everyone will benefit. I suggest a blanket ban on GM crops being grown here, a ban on chemical trailing. Obviously fracking should be banned as there won’t be clean water for man or beast if you let that happen. Even if you can’t inspire a deep interest in welfare, remember the connection between the land, the animals and the people’s health.

Horses

I think the companion horse rule would be successful. Everyone who has a horse should  host and care for a second, less-advantaged one! A simple principle that values kindness above usefulness is called for.

Please ban the use of  nurse maid mares. They are made pregnant and their own foal discarded to make them available to suckle a more valuable thoroughbred foal, as thoroughbreds can sometimes be not as good mothers. But the clue’s in the name, these animals are ‘mothers’ and the whole practice smacks of disregard. This Act that you are working on is going to have to write compassion into it, in nearly every sentence, so that there are no loop holes that ignorant (in the original sense of the word) people can get through. Some people simply do not know better.

Blood Sports

Again, the clue is in the name. Nothing should have to run for its life. It is not a fair competition. The only thing animals have is their lives and their skins and it is not healthy or humane to want to take them from them. Fox hunting, stag hunting, hare coursing all display a disturbing  absence of humanity.  

Birds and bees

The wild life has got to be protected. If you see the images of a supermarket shelf post bees extinction there is nothing much to be bought. Offer grants to people to learn how to keep bees and, again, ban pesticides. The birds will be severely affected if the wind turbines go ahead, let alone the pylons and substations. Don’t let more and more pollutants creep over the Irish countryside, via corrupt short term planning and gain. No living thing can cope with it. It is notable that the 300 billion loan for the Eirgrid plan was decided in Dublin Castle too. Try not to step into that coercion and agree to anything that will just serve the wealthy land owners. This is the day to consider the animals only. Pure and simple empathy and regard for other sentient beings. 

Farming

We have received word that someone wants to raise production 40 and 60%, whatever that means. Don’t let it mean that you compromise on production methods. Focus on quality not quantity. There is plenty of evidence that fully organic production is just as strong as other methods. It works WITH Nature, rather than killing off what we don’t want in the way of weeds and pests. It can yield an equal crop and most importantly is not poisonous. Do not let GM grain and chemicals weaken (change the ph of) our soil and toxify our water courses any further. If you think about raising more animals for export, think of the logistics of that. There is constantly a shortage of hay already. All the grain will be cheap, GM imported feed that comes in to the human food chain and more water will be used, more ground poached and more animals suffering in intensified living conditions. Please come up with a better plan. You can do it and this is the chance.

Circuses

Please ban the use of animals in circuses and don’t let animals be transported for more than 6 hours while still alive. No food, no water, no chance to stretch your legs, claustrophobic, terrifying and accompanied by the sense that you are going to your death. You wouldn’t like it. Its reminiscent of Auszwich. One day everyone will regret how animals are treated and don’t let situations in other countries blind you to the cruelty right here. Please systematically and radically sort this out. Some companies may suffer but maybe they’ve made enough money on the backs of others and can step away. Let life thrive again and with it humanity.

Vivisection 

Also ban the flights of thousands of mice arriving in Dublin for experiments. Vivisection has never healed anyone yet.  For another understanding on how to move forward see

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and

Europeans for Medical Advancement.

We can do things differently, harmlessly and in unison. Thank you for your time and efforts so far.

Best regards, Frances Micklem

New Radio Show - Pascifist Action and Self Sufficiency

I have been offered a chance to shine a light on matters that matter to me….in one sitting the list of topics hit 20! So I look forward to sharing what I've found out and a good perspective too!

For the moment, I am in England for May Day, a time-honoured tradition of singing from the towers and bells bringing in the spring.

Here I met an old friend who I have not seen since I was 12! Still brilliant after all these years and wonderfully I found her in charge of an 800 acre organic crops farm. There were a few animals there but only as pets! Now we're talking! Living proof it can be done and in style.

I had an epic sing song with family - featuring Bela Legosi's Dead, Karma Police and Killing Me Softly- and there were no real casualties thank God. Now I am heading back to Harmony Hall to plant more magic seeds of possibility and pray for this garden to grow!
