Sweden.....


Am currently in Lulea - right in the north of Sweden. It's been a pretty hectic few days - loads of things to do before I left Liverpool with work, my Mum falling on Sunday, Rachel 'representing' Jim on a Macclesfield hospital mission, enjoying to get to know her better.

Then travelling to Sweden and participating in a completely different network. Key Note speaking - to an audience that 'knows their onions' as Chris's Mum used to say... and they did and I feel very happy after today - it was really special and I learnt so much - love it!!!!!!!!!!! Just really, really love it when so many things make sense to me - and today has been one of those - 'falling into place' sort of days - great stuff.

Heard yesterday from Jenny that Mum had had the plastic surgery operation on her hand - she fell on Sunday on her way to church - and managed to completely skin the back of her right hand - 3 skin grafts worth - it was horrible - like a piece of meat. She was amazing - recognised how lucky she was not to have broken anything - and having four daughters - all of us being able to take a stint in the process - and yes she is lucky to have that - but her appreciation and gratitude is truly awesome.

Next week is another SiS conference in Porto, Portugal - it seems only like 2 minutes from Zagreb - yet so much has been done - so much happened - but all in a blink of an eye - life does seem to be whirling by, accelerated time!

Working and living life also seems so very blurred now - the two aspects of me - Tricia and Alegra - separate but becoming closer - today has been a real Tricia day - but I have ended up making the most amazing Alegra connections - and sitting in the audience of the final plenary session - recognising the language; co-creation, transformation, connection, focusing energy -all Alegra language in a Tricia context - pretty amazing stuff!

It's also very good to talk and to be more open - about the stuff that I do - the vision for the future that I have -and then to get such affirmation - felt very wonderful.

Didn't see the northern lights - but knew they were there - just above the rain clouds - but then I hadn't charged my battery properly in my camera - so I wouldn’t have been able to capture them! Off to Amsterdam to see Jimmy in Leiden - that's good - and Alex has been offered two jobs, one in Grenoble and one in Paris - so looks like they'll be staying in France!

Recognising and appreciating my happiness - lucky, lucky me...........................

Busy in Belgium... sort of wierd!


I have been coming and going to Belgium several times over the last two months as I have been doing the course - 4 long weekends over 4 months. It is a course on 'Sound Healing' - and it has been an extraordinary experience for me. I decided to do it - very spontaneously - and very quickly after I had experienced Tuvan singing in the valley - a sort of singing/meditation - it was that which drew me - and I didn't really think about the 'healing' bit at all - and certainly not that I could be a healer. Well strange things have happened and I have been open to them - and though it feels very wierd to write it - I am a healer!!!!!! Of course we all are - but this is MY journey and MY realisation - and I am amazed that I have the confidence to write this. I am not certain what I will do with this yet - but I know I do want to work with people - certainly to continue practising - and see where it goes - there is a beautiful right feeling about all this - I am not musical - not a musician, never been able to play an instrument or have the confidence to sing - but Georgia was amazing - I found my voice - then Vlad's workshop in the valley - and one amazing night of just being open to let the 'sound', 'singing', 'voice' come out of me - but now I have had 3 weekends of 'system/theory' - and practice - all giving me a shape for something very intuative - and something that feels so very right to me. OK - so I am still pretty high after the last weekend - and then yesterday I came back to the extraordinary world that I also live in - speaking in a reception/debate in the European Parliament - it was a small group and over a dinner - I spoke during the soup!!! Today has been full of meetings - I am shaking my head as I write this - I am still so amazed by what I do! So tonight I am in a hotel room - for a change! But with a suitcase which now contains - 2 singing bowls and several tuning forks - writing this on the ipad - no spellcheck or formatting - and just loving being here - becoming a Sound Healer - and not feeling too crazy writing that! And just loving being me!!!!
