THANK YOU! ❤️ To those who attended this week’s meditation classes. After some Buddhist words of wisdom, we practised Mindfulness of Breathing. We then learnt that mindfulness is one of the most scientifically researched meditation practices and one which induces neuroplasticity, physically changing the brain’s wiring and unwanted patterns of behaviour. Scientific research has found the following key benefits: Reduced stress, anxiety and depression by lowering cortisol levels and decreasing rumination; improved cognitive function including improved working memory, focus and attention; better sleep quality; improved immune function; lower blood pressure; reduction in chronic pain symptoms and enhanced Self-Awareness helping to fight behavioural issues like addictions. Research has found measurable structural changes in the brain leading to reduced Amygdala size responsible for fear and stress responses and strengthened Prefrontal Cortex leading to better logical thinking and emotional regulation. Studies have also found increased levels of empathy and compassion in those practising mindfulness. Of course there are also numerous anecdotal and spiritual benefits, some of which we pointed out in the class. We then practised our Guided Visualisation “Journey to the Inca Citadel of Machu Picchu.” Glad you found the classes relaxing and beneficial. Due to other commitments, there will be no Saturday class in a fortnight’s time. Hope you are able to join us for our Thursday evening class. Love Heather and Richard of Claire Healing/ Meditation Matters!💜xx

Hi All, with just 6 weeks to our next ‘Free Spirit’ Group event I thought I would share some information on Shamanic Journeying which you may find of use. Richard will be guiding you in meditation to the Lower World with the intention to meet your Power Animal or Guardian Spirit. For clarification, you do not need any meditation/ journeying experience or have a Shamanic belief system to attend...

Shamanic Journeying is a practice based upon the belief system of Shamanism which is a spiritual phenomenon centred on the Shaman. Believed to be at least 100,000 years old, it can be considered the first spiritual practice of humankind. The word ‘Shaman’ often translates to mean ‘one who knows;’ ‘one who sees in the dark;’ ‘a wise person’ or ‘healer.’ The shamanic viewpoint (Animism) sees everything that exists as alive with a Spirit and part of the whole, the ‘Divine,’ the ‘all that is.’ The shamanic framework consists of 3 realms or worlds which the Shaman journeys to; the Lower World, the Middle World and the Upper World.

The Shamanic Journey or Soul Flight is a universal shamanic practice popularised in the West largely due to American anthropologist Dr. Michael Harner. Shamanic Journeying can be considered a form of meditation (sometimes guided) where you enter a trance or altered state of consciousness. This trance state is usually induced by using a drum beat or rattle in a process known as brainwave entrainment. Research shows monotonous drumming slows brainwaves from Beta (normal consciousness) to Alpha (light meditation) or Theta (deep meditation). As well as quietening the logical mind and allowing access to the subconscious, this state has a positive effect on well-being by providing deep relaxation, reducing stress and anxiety, boosting the immune system, Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and emotional stability, as well as alleviating chronic pain conditions.

With intention and appropriate guidance, everyone is capable of undertaking a Shamanic Journey for healing and insight. Journeying provides the opportunity for self-discovery, direct revelation, enhanced intuition and a sense of connectedness. With experience, the practice can also be used for divination, trauma healing and shadow work.

Further information will be provided to those attending. If you would like to join us call/ message me in 07813 629781. Love Heather of Claire Healing 💜xx

Claire Healing 💜/ Meditation Matters! will collaborate again with the amazing and talented Zen With Ben for our next ‘Free Spirit’ Group event. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into a softly lit, calming space designed to help you slow down and unwind. We’ll begin with an introduction to Shamanism/ Journeying, followed by a short Shamanic ceremony. You will then be gently guided into a Shamanic Journey meditation, supported by the rhythm of the drum - helping you to relax and move into an altered state of consciousness. Periodically, the drum will be directed over the body to enhance the healing effects of the rhythmic vibrations. The intention will be to journey to the Lower World to meet your Power Animal. From there, the evening will flow naturally into a deeply immersive Sound Bath with crystal bowls, harp and gongs. Expect rich, layered tones, subtle harmonies and carefully guided transitions designed to help your body fully relax and your mind drift into stillness. This is not just sound - it’s a guided experience, allowing you to switch off, reset, and be carried through a journey of deep relaxation.

This event is suitable for adults only and is restricted in terms of numbers so prompt notification of attendance is advised. Advanced booking and payment is therefore necessary and is £20 per person. No previous experience of meditation practice nor Shamanism is necessary for either session and full guidance will be provided. The Shamanic Journey and Sound Bath meditation are ideally experienced lying down on air beds which will be supplied, although for those who find this difficult, suitable chairs will be available. Further details will be provided to those attending and we will require completion of forms including a PAR-Q & Liability Waiver, unless previously completed and on the assumption there has been no changes in your circumstances which may for health reasons preclude your attendance.

Please arrive from 7.00pm for 7.15pm prompt start and expect a 9.00pm finish. If for any reason the event cannot go ahead, is rescheduled or significantly changed, a full refund will be given. Please call/ message 07813 629781 for payment and reservation. Complimentary bottle of water provided, but for comfort and warmth we recommend you bring your own pillows/ blankets etc. Depending on numbers, Claire Healing 💜 intends to make a discretionary donation from the entrance fee to a charity. Looking forward to seeing you there. Love Heather of Claire Healing 💜xx

THANK YOU! ❤️ To those who joined us for some meditation this week. We commenced with our Guided Meditation “Cultivating and Directing Healing Energy,” which involves first generating healing and love for ourselves, then directing this positivity out to the Earth, then to all its lifeforms. We followed this with an overview of Christian based meditation practices and learnt that these often centre around the contemplation of God or reflection on scripture. We continued on a similar theme, learning about Analytical Meditation and how this valuable practice can be used for uncovering solutions to a variety of topics, including problems/ decisions to be made, as well as a better understanding of concepts, doctrines and teachings. After first choosing a topic to focus on, we practised a Guided Analytical Meditation. Some really interesting feedback, so thank you for kindly sharing this as well as your chosen topics. Hope to see you in two week’s time. Happy Easter! Love Heather and Richard of Claire Healing/ Meditation Matters!💜xx

Today Richard and I took the collection boxes to Trust Links which they opened and counted in front of me. There was £26 in them. I then gave them a cheque for £90 from my business Claire Healing 💜 as a donation from last Friday’s ‘Free Spirit’ Group event, so in total £116 was donated to the Charity. Thank you for contributing to this event and for any donations made. I will attach the letter of thanks from the Charity once received. Love Heather of Claire Healing 💜 xx

THANK YOU! to everyone who attended our ‘Free Spirit’ Group event yesterday evening, Friday 27th March. We were fully booked, although sadly we did have a few absentees on the night. It was an evening of deep relaxation and healing with a Yoga Nidra session followed by a Sound Bath with crystal bowls, harp and gong. We commenced with our Yoga Nidra session guided by Richard with the Sankalpa ‘I AM Love and Kindness,’ our wish for the Yoga Nidra session. Thank you to Ben for his contribution with the music to our live Yoga Nidra practice. This transitioned seamlessly into yet another incredible Sound Bath experience with Zen With Ben. The whole session was accompanied by Heather providing hands off Reiki healing. Thank you so much to Ben and Simonne for their contributions in making this another successful event. It was very rewarding to hear your personal experiences of the evening and that many of you have indicated that you would like to attend our next event which will comprise a Guided Shamanic Journey Meditation followed by a Sound Bath with Zen With Ben. This will be on Friday 22nd May. Further details to follow in due course. In line with our Love and Kindness Sankalpa, my business Claire Healing 💜 purchased and gave all attendees a little crystal heart. Thank you to Lisa’s Crystals and Witchy Wonders for supplying these.

We were raising money for Essex based mental health charity Trust Links. We shall take the sealed collection boxes to them on Monday and will let you know what we raised soon, as well as the donation to be made by my business Claire Healing 💜.

Take care everyone and please feel free to comment about the event. Love Heather and Richard (Claire Healing/ Meditation Matters!/ Free Spirit Group)💜xx
