Replay of Ascension Call with Dr Turmel

Last week, my dear friend Dr Maurice Turmel did a call on “Ascension into the 5th Dimension” and it was wonderful.

Here are the details for the replay of the call by Dr Maurice Turmel on Ascension to 5th Dimension Consciousness.

http://ascensiontrainingcentre.com/preview

This was a terrific call. Dr Maurice explained really well the terms of “5th dimension,” “ascension”, “consciousness”, “self acceptance” and “connection with your own Source.”

It was a brilliant and you can listen to it for free.

Dr Maurice also did a short meditation from part one of the programme. It is one of my favourite meditations and it is gorgeous. It is the gentlest “psychological flush” I have ever experienced.

Please enjoy the call.
With abundant blessings.

I didn’t like myself very much!

I have been working a lot on myself recently, clearing all of the emotional baggage and unhelpful limiting beliefs from the past.

I was doing a wonderful guided meditation a few days ago with a good friend of mine. The meditation took me into a wonderful garden, which was full of beautiful souls.

Just as I walked in, there, right in the middle of MY GARDEN, with a huge silly grin on her face was a person I have been trying to detox from my life!

How dare she invade my beautiful garden and my wonderful meditation!!!!

In the meditation I saw myself forcibly eject her from the garden and put her behind the hedge at the back. However, no matter how much I tried to block her out and to build a bigger and higher hedge, she was still there looking at me. She had a mixture of this silly grin and sadness on her face.

Ggggggrrrrrrrhhhh!!!!!

Needless to say I did not really enjoy my meditation very much. When I finished, I told my friend about the incident and he said some very profound words.

He told I was ot to eject her from the garden, but I was to talk to her and ask her what message she had for me. It might be that she was reflecting back to me something about myself that I was did not like or did not want to see.

Sometimes I really dislike this personal growth stuff!  – Especially when the inward exploration is difficult and uncomfortable, as I knew instantly this inner probing was going to be.

“I want you to write her a letter,” my friend continued, ” and tell her all the reasons that you are grateful for having been in your life and the lessons and gifts she has brought you – as difficult a person she may be and as much as you want her OUT of your life.”

I could feel a huge “procrastination to-do list”  (such as dog walk, email checking, shopping and hundreds of other time wasting exercises) coming on before I tackled this one.

However, I knew he was right and I found some comfort from his final remarks- “Once you have understood the lessons or the gifts, she will just fade out of your life.”

The more I thought about this, the more I realised that this woman does not like herself in anyway shape or form and seems to have gone to great lengths to “abuse” (for want of a better word)  herself in all areas of her life.

She makes strange, ill-thought- out decisions around money, which seem to me to put her in a position of permanent lack. Having done that, she then seems to blame everyone else for her problems and expect her friends or the Universe to bail her out.

The more I thought about her and the things about her that I did not like, the more uncomfortable I became.

I had to admit to myself that I had also done similar things around money and there had been many occasions where I had not been at all kind or loving towards myself.

It would be fair to say I had abused my body with overeating and lack of exercise and had deprived myself of love and fun in a lot of ways.

It became very obvious that she was holding up a mirror to me and reflecting me back to me. They do say that cameras and mirrors don’t  lie. Well, this mirror was not lying!

Once I allowed myself to acknowledge all of this, I wrote it all out in my journal. As the feelings of self-loathing started to surface, I allowed myself to experience them all and kept writing until I could write no more.

I was listening to one of the Abundant Mystic teleseminar series and the lady was talking about Ho’oponopono.

This is a Hawaiian method of healing, reconciliation and forgiveness which consists of 4 short sentences and essentially you heal yourself for your part in this relationship going wrong – or at least that is my understanding of it.

The 4 sentences are:

  • I am Sorry
  • Please Forgive Me
  • Thank You
  • I Love You

I had heard of this before and never really felt that I had got much from it, however it seemed totally appropriate at that moment, so I started repeating those 4 sentences over and over, whilst thinking about this woman and also about the “Mirror of Lack of Self Love” that she had held up to me.

It took a while, but I felt the feelings start to release.

I finally released the last remnants of it at a fantastic workshop I attended at the weekend, where I broke an arrow that had one end placed against a block of wood and the point was in the soft part of my throat.

Too me, it was a symbolic release of all that lack of self love that had built up over years.

More on that very shortly!

My friend was right. Once I could acknowledge and release the lack of self love for myself, the woman concerned seems to have faded from my life. She has certainly not invaded any more of my meditations.

Perhaps it really is true that we learn our greatest lessons from the most difficult people in our lives.  I am very grateful to that lady for bringing me these lessons and I wish her peace, love, happiness, health and prosperity in her own life.

we are very fortunate at the moment that the rising Earth energies mean we can clear all this stuff quicker than we have ever done before!

With abundant blessings.

Exciting Developments

There has been a lot happening to us over the past few months.

One of the main things has been learning to live in the moment and go with the flow of what each day brings to us. It has been quite amazing how our needs have been met, sometimes at the very 11th hour, yet everything seems to have worked out for the best.

I have got lots of exciting projects that I have been working on to create abundance.

I recently had my first book published- “Develop Your Intuition Through Tarot”, which is now available through most major book sellers. This is designed to help you to use Tarot Cards as a way of tapping into your Intuition and your own inner resources.

I have been doing a lot of work recently with showing people how to use Tarot cards for fun and personal growth. I now have two weekly Tarot related radio shows, which you can read about on the News and Events page.

I am now part of a terrific community called Spirit Quest Radio, which is Radio for the Mind, Body and Soul.

Changing Lives Coaching

My Changing Lives Coaching Programme has grown in leaps and bounds. I still offer personal coaching to identify and clear limiting beliefs and blocks to  success in about 2 hours.

I have converted the whole programme into an audio programme that you can listen to and work with in your own time. It includes all the powerful questions and meditations as the personal coaching.

I recently ran a teleclass, explaining exactly how the process works and how you can use if for yourself. You can hear the full audio on the link below:

Changing Lives Coaching Audios

GogleBox TV

The other really EXCITING Development is GogleBox TV. This is a fantastic community where you can network with like-minded souls, you can promote your business via a video slideshow to global audience, as well as make use of all the facilities for building your own community, for sending newsletters, for runnign teleclasses, webinars and for hosting your own radio and TV shows if you want to.

My Site is Spiritual Intuition and GogleBox. Please take a look. It is really good.

Mastering Your Power of Release

Hi all,

When you think about Releasing Limiting Beliefs or Stress or anything that does not serve you in your life, there are as many ways to do this as there are individual people.

Different techniques will work for different people.

I think the most important part is to start with the INTENTION and WILLINGNESS to let go of old stuff.

Overcoming depression- without drugs!

My friend Buz McGuire of the Viral Happiness Expansion Initiative is an amazing man! A few years ago, he was diagnosed with depression and decided he was going to heal himself- from the inside out- without the use of drugs.

Over time he discovered a whole range of ideas, tips and techniques that he could use on himself to IMMEDIATELY and effectively RELEASE unhelpful thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs and stress.

These ranged from simple breathing exercises to a balloon exercise to writing exercises and loads of other simple and practical things.

He has gathered them altogether into a truly amazing package called “Mastering Your Power of Release”, which has just been launched.

power of release

I was truly privileged to have worked with Buz on this project. I also contributed a chapter on “Generational Clearing” to the companion ebook called “Masters of Release”

power of release

Yes, my very talented photographer husband, Greg Goldston, designed and created the cover designs and the banner.

The Power of Release contains heaps of tips for “Mastering Your Power of Release” from Buz’s 25 year journey of personal development.

The Masters of Release contains the best clearing and releasing techniques from well known authors such as Joe Vitale, Pat O Bryan and yours truly, Amanda Goldston.

It is highly recommended.

The more PEACE, JOY, LOVE and FUN we can bring into our lives TODAY, the more we can do things that make our heart sing, the more abundance we can attract into our lives.

The day I stopped SHINING

Hi all,

I have had some fantastic results recently with helping people Clear Limiting Beliefs in about 2 hours.

Greg has not looked back, Pat has taken off like a rocket in his business, Elly is more organised with a structured plan and Ken, in his words” blew off TONS of emotional charge and had so many realizations that I can’t even remember them all.”

 

Healer, Heal Thyself!

Then there comes the point of “Healer, Heal thyself”. That is to say, working on my own limiting beliefs and blocks.

Hmm, maybe it is time for another cup of tea…. and some “Busy Work”!

I knew it had to be done and it was actually a lot easier than I had built it up to be.

Repeating Patterns

 

Do you find you keep coming up against the same block or the same challenges or you keep getting the same old results and you can’t seem to get past it?

Some of the biggest limiting beliefs for many people have been created in an instant on the back of one incident in your past, where something happened and you made a decision in that moment about it.

You have probably noticed similar incidents in your life and most of those are just re-enforcing the beliefs formed by that first incident.

There may a single incident or a series of incidents in your past, when you stopped “shining”, when that natural joy, enthusiasm, exuberance and flow stopped?

It may have been a simple remark by a “well meaning” parent, adult or authority figure or it may have been a remark that was made out of spite and with ill intent. It may have been an incident, where you overheard something you were not meant to hear.

As children we take on board, without questioning the things that adults, siblings and others say to us and that can have a lasting impact on us.

 

The day I stopped “SHINING”.

For me, I have always struggled valuing myself, and allowing money to flow to me. I have frequently allowed people to walk all over me and have said YES to things, when I really wanted to scream NO , and found myself working long and hard in jobs that could only really be described as “abusive”.

I have not really been happy with myself,with my results, my money, my health, my relationships and my overall level of happiness and I could never really figure out what the problem was.

I have a lot of wonderful things in my life; my husband, my children, my dog, friends, and a myriad of amazing things yet….. something missing still.

 

You must have been a beautiful baby…

Yes, I was. White blond curls, big smile and a happy personality.

I have a shiny, silver cup on my shelf that I won as a beautiful baby, August 1968, two months before my 2nd birthday and I have some photos from that same day.

amanda goldston winnign beautiful baby contest 1968

 

As I looked really closely at those photographs I has an immense feeling of sadness. I felt inadequate, I felt that I did not belong, out of place, a fraud, like some kind of cheat, that the cup and the prize really should not be mine and really quite upset. I wanted to get rid of that cup as fast as I could.

amanda goldston sitting on the wall baby contest 1968

 

 

As I probed further into this, I could hear the jealous, spiteful remarks that were being made about me and that the whole thing was a fix. I could hear one old lady saying that her grand-daughter should have won because she was prettier than me and there were other remarks along lines of the blond, brainless child.

amanda goldston beautiful baby contest lynton 1968

As an adult I am reminded of the quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, “No-one can make you feel inferior without your permission”. As a nearly 2 year old I had no concept of that.

That was the day the light went out and I really stopped shining.

Looking back now, I know why I won that 1st prize cup and it had nothing to do with being a pretty little girl, with a mass of blond white curls, nor was it a fix or a sham.

I won that cup because I was shining the brightest. I had a huge, warm loving smile, I was full of joy of life, fun, happiness, wonderfulness and a sheer delight at being alive. I wanted to share that with the world.

I was shining my light and everything flowed to me easily and effortlessly. Plus, from what I can remember, I wasn’t bothered in the slightest whether I won that cup or not. It meant more to my parents, especially my dad, than it did to me.

It was all about other people’s expectations and somehow I felt I had never quite matched up to those expectations.

I could trace of all the feelings of not being good enough, self worth, not deserving, things should not be easy in my life back to that event. Many of the subsequent events over the years have just re-enforced those patterns and those beliefs.

 

When I was SHINING

However, no more than 6 weeks before that day with the baby show, things were very different.

amanda goldston shining summer 1968 lynton devon south west england

You can see the glow and the natural fun-loving, playful, vibrant, mischievous light in the little being in the picture taken a month before.

That amazing creature was me, playing happily, with the wind in my hair (although Greg remarked that the hair hasn’t changed much! Cheeky so and so!) and not a care in the world. I was living life to the full and enjoying every moment.

amanda goldston shining playful summer 1968

 

I was just BEING ME.

That is one of the very few photos where I am smiling with my mouth OPEN.

I was able to heal and clear the beliefs and the feelings that arose from that event, to choose to take positive learnings from it and to choose a new reality for myself today as an adult, 40 odd years after that event.

It was a very powerful process and having healed the hurts of the past, I decided to allow myself to shine, really shine and to make new choices in the light of the new decision.

Once I went to meet my futures self, there was a whole new wonderful person waiting to meet me.

I was also able to get that cup back out, give it a really good polish and know that it is truly mine, and it always was. I deserved (past) and deserve (now) it for Shining the Brightest.

I have been able to put that on my bookshelf and look at it with a huge SMILE on my face, instead of wondering why it made me feel bad.

Now it is a positive symbol, instead of a negative one.

I now have a choice.

I can allow myself to go back to be ruled by those feelings of pain or inadequacy or I can allow myself to really SHINE.

As a wise person once said (and I am not sure who it was) “Other people’s opinions of me are none of my business”.

A question I have been practising asking myself is “how can I SHINE even more brightly today than I did yesterday?”

Allow your light to SHINE!

With abundant blessings of Peace, Love, Joy and Fun,

Amanda Goldston

Moving Forward

Hi all,

I have to say, I have quite staggered by the changes in Greg since we did a “Limiting Belief Shifting” session last weekend.

I suppose the effectiveness of any coaching can only really be measured by the new and different ways of being, and new action habits that you see in someone over the following days and weeks.

Greg got up the following day an immediately checked out a stock photo agency, that he has been procrastinating with for months. He then made the decision that it was not right for him at this time because of the restrictive clauses in the terms.

He has since ordered and categorised all of his 10,000+ photographs, so that he knows exactly where they all are. He has never done that before!

That means he can immediately lay his hands on any photograph for any situation, whether that is for a competition, a magazine submission or work for me.

That action alone means the difference between being able to generate an income from his photographs and constantly missing deadlines for things because he couldn’t find the photographs he was looking for.

He has seemed much more confident in himself and more focused on taking his photography forward.

Clear a long-standing Limiting Belief or Block in 2-3 hours.

I have refined the process and tested it on several other people. I have come to the conclusion that a major block can be identified and cleared PERMANENTLY in about 2-3 hours, providing of course, that a person is ready and willing to release that block and to move forward from.

I will be offering 1-2-1 coaching with this very shortly. This will be via telephone, in person (for those of you local to me in UK) and by Skype.

That in itself, is overcoming a major limiting belief for me to do that. I have been working with people doing Clearings for nearly 4 years now, in one way shape or form.

Have a great day.
With abundant blessings.

Clear Limiting Beliefs about Money

Hi all,

Recently I have been looking into my beliefs system, particularly around money, and I have noticed several recurring themes where me and money are concerned.

Recurring Patterns

1) The balance of the scales seemed to be tipped in favour of “money going out”, rather than money coming in.
2) I seemed to be a “money- repellant” and had this great desire to get rid of it as fast as I possibly could.
3) As expenses reduced, so did income.
4) I seemed to be at my most creative when there was absolutely nothing coming in.
5) I seemed to get some perverse enjoyment- almost satisfaction- in wallowing around in negative debt stuff.

I have noticed this for a while and it is only recently that I have been really motivated to explore it and do something about it. I also want to ride the tide of change that is happening astrologically now at the beginning of 2008.

What I noticed when I looked at all this stuff, was that none of it made any sense to me. It was not logical. It was completely contrary to all my goals and intentions and dreams.

I have explored this issue before, yet never really got to the real core it. I know that because my behaviour patterns and results were not changing.

Clearing Limiting Beliefs

Last year I had a coaching session with a coach who specialises in clearing limiting beliefs. I was quite amazed at the results of the session and it triggered off an amazing process of self discovery for me.
She identified some pretty deep-rooted beliefs that I was holding about myself, money, rich people, wealthy people, business and business people and the sacrifices that I thought rich people made in order to have money.

As we were doing the session, I got a picture in my head of a wealthy merchant who was looking sadly down at a great pile of gold coins. He looked like someone from the Tudor times in England (1400 and 1500s).

I knew immediately that was somewhere I would need to revisit on my own to get the full story of what had happened at that point, where I had made the decisions and created the beliefs that I felt were holding me back today.

Love or Money.

What I found out was that I had made a choice between Love or Money, and felt that I could not have both. I have seen myself repeat that pattern frequently.

I finished it off myself with a massive release, huge amounts of tears and a feeling of relief.

I was able to go back to that place and whilst I did not change the decision, I was able to pour healing and golden light into it.

Timeline Healing

I listened to a terrific meditation from my good friend Matt Clarkson of Spiritual Growth Monthly who has a brilliant timeline meditation for clearing limiting beliefs.

With that meditation I learnt how to look for the Positive Intentions behind that action and to carry those positive learnings with me, right into the present day.

These are a few terrific resources I have used. However you can create your own and you can do your own clearing, if you want and/or need to.

Clearing Greg’s biggest block.
Greg, my husband and I, were talking about these experiences and got talking about his PROCRASTINATION, his INABILITY to FINISH THINGS and his UNWILLINGNESS to really SHOW his amazing photographs to the world and we ended up in a spontaneous coaching/healing session.

Sometimes if you talk honestly about your situation to a friend, who is really listening, you can identify a lot of beliefs just in the words that you use. Greg and I switched on the little voice recorder and I immediately heard him use a lot of “should, have to, need to” type of words.

As he was talking, he mentioned “fear of failure”. I questioned him on this to see whether that was the case or whether it was a fear of “massive success”.

The Artist.
As he was talking, I got a picture of him as a artist, painting a stunning picture and then being deceived by a wealthy man. The man had commissioned the picture and agreed a price and then told Greg that it was absolute rubbish and offered to pay him only a fraction of the agreed price and the picture’s true worth.

Greg had believed him and had accepted the reduced money. Only an hour before, Greg had the viewed the picture as the pinnacle of his creativity and this was the finest work he was capable of producing.

That had been the beginning of the end for Greg at that time. He could never value his work or himself again. He always created magnificent stuff and believing neither he, as an artist, or his work was “not good enough” gave it all away and allowed people to walk all over him.

We applied some of the same healing processes and meditations.

Whilst we have not yet brought in mega-bucks as a result of this, I have seen a distinct change in Greg. He is more focused and has completed some tasks he has been putting off for some time.

Time for Clearing.
The energetic vibration of the whole Earth is speeding up and clearing old, non-serving stuff has never been quicker or easier. There are Universal forces around, which are helping with that process.

Mostly, all you need to do is to be willing to clear stuff that does not serve you and ask for assistance. It can literally be that quick and simple.

Greg’s process took about 2 hours in total and we have cleared a BIGGIE!

I hope you have found something useful here.

Your methods for Clearing Limiting Beliefs.
If you have successfully cleared limiting beliefs and blocks around money and success, I would love to hear what you did and what resources have worked for you.
Please share them or drop me a line.

With abundant blessings.
Amanda Goldston.

Set your sights on the distant horizon… then go beyond

Hi all,

I would like to share with you one of my all time favourites spots in the world. It is a place called “the Valley of the Rocks” and it one of the most southerly Ice Age glacial valleys in England. The coast is facing West towards the Atlantic Ocean and beyond to USA.

Valley of the Rocks by Gregory Goldston

I grew up in this area.

I have spent a wonderful hour, sitting on the top of the hill and gazing out to sea. It is an amazing place for “clearing the cobwebs” in my brain and letting the creativity flow.

Back behind this spot is a former Iron Age settlement, so the whole place is really ancient. It has that totally timeless, unchanging feel to it.

I hope it inspires you as much as it does me.
With abundant blessings.

An established business

Hi all,

Another way to generate an income from your own business is to buy an existing business, that is already making money.

The Internet has created a lot of opportunities to do that, in just about any area that interests you.

You can buy something that you can refine, improve and build up the profits. (If you have the skills to do that). There are plenty of those type of businesses that you can relatively inexpensively.

The other option is to buy an established, successful, profitable which has been built up over time by their current owners.

They will have already done all the market research, as well as write and tweak the sakes copy, find the most effective ways to generate traffic and refined the sales process so that it works like clockwork.

Some of these can have quite a high price tag to buy the whole thing outright. However, many of these people will also be willing to consider a LICENSING arrangement.

The Internet is a big place and they know thee could never hope to reach all their potential clients with their own advertising.

One such opportunity is a business licence from BANABU systems.

This is a terrific package and the products represent excellent value for money to its customers. It is an amazing product in the Huge, multi billion dollar/pound PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT market.

Mike Kemski, the owner, has built up a business which generates in excess of $250,000 a year and he is now offering a copy copy of this business to a few lucky business people.

BANABU Business Licence

His proven system is excellent.

I had to laugh when I opened my Nitro Blueprint course because Mike’s business development had been used as a case study.

So, it details all the products right from a free report through to a home study course, a monthly membership site, workshops and other products (costing from free to $1000s). It also includes a built in affiliate programme.

When you buy a licence (and you will be stunned when you see the ridiculously low price) , you get all of that included. The beauty of it is that you also get to keep all of the profits.

Well worth checking out.

BANABU Business Licence

Have a great day.
With abundant blessings.
