What is a Holistic Balancing Practice?
A personalised holistic & balancing approach appreciates the interconnectedness of our body-mind-spirit-universe; where all tensions or traumas resonate throughout our whole being & prevents us transitioning to a balanced flourishing state, tapping into our potential.

During our joint work together during & between sessions, I find Balancing Practices that would suit your whole being that I have acquired over the years to restore us & to prevent them from occurring.

As a Space Psychologist & being a Director of the Centre for Space Medicine for over 13 years, defining methods to support astronauts on the missions to the Moon & Mars, I have identified methods to bypass our conscious & subconscious barriers & fears. As these barriers keep us running in circles until we are not just mentally, but become critically physically ill as well.

I work using whole mind-body-spirit-universe practices that help us to find a new balance. I acquired these balancing practices across the globe which allow us to identify the core of tensions & traumas, and find personalised approaches to digest and to release them, tap into our potential & to become curious about ourselves & the world around us.

Here are examples of holistic practices I practice:
* Breathwork & Re-birthing sessions
‌* Family Constellation one-on-one / group sessions
‌* Healing spiritual regression practice
‌* Guided personalised meditative practice
* Connecting with ancestors
* Life Timeline event integration
* Transformative Spiritual Experiences integration, e.g. Near-Death Experience, Spiritual Insight

What is a Family Constellation group practice?
Family Constellation was developed by Bert Hellinger (1925 - 2019)

Do you have repetitive situations (family, relations, work) or experience recurring feelings?
Do you have challenging relationships and strained communications?
Do you wish to experience an understanding of why this might be happening?

During a Family Constellation practice, we start to feel invisible family threads and patterns on a deeper level stretching across generations. At some point in constellation work, the veil is lifted, the pattern is revealed and inner understanding arises. We see the pattern or roots of repetitive situations and recurring feelings, realisation, and release follow.

Some people prefer this work to psychotherapy or in addition to, as we are able to feel, experience and see the situation unveil and play out in front of us and within us. We are able to use our voice to heal the relationships and be heard. We are able to rediscover, reconnect and acknowledge the rightful place of all of our family members; to heal the connection with family members that are no longer with us.

As a result of deep and open-hearted work our potential opens up within us and the Universe around us responds to our willingness to connect and to create in a loving state.

HOW DOES A FAMILY CONSTELLATION WORK?

The person requesting Family Constellation brings a question that becomes the entry point to begin the work. For example:
* Why am I unable to maintain relationships?
* How can I break ... recurring pattern?
* Why am I unable to move on?
* Why do I feel rushed all the time?
* Why can’t I meet the right partner or have a baby?
* How can I harmonise the relationship with family members (partner, children, parents)?

As the constellation facilitator, I will continue asking questions to connect with you, your family, and your situation. The first question is like a lighthouse pointing the directions of the journey that would lead to the next set of questions and situations. Together we find a feeling or a situation and based on that we will create a constellation and allow it to unfold.

Then I will guide your to form the first part of the constellation, by inviting participants to serve as a representative of your family system. It can be either just one other person or several people representing you and the situation, such as your parents, children, aborted children, or grandparents. They are positioned in the room in a
particular way. Some time is given for the Family Constellation field to work, feelings, emotions, interactions, and information arises experienced by people in the constellation. The Constellation is guided to move and to reveal as much as it is possible on that day for the transformation and for realisation to take place.

The Constellation work takes time to reveal in the life and across the family and situations. It can be immediate or as soon as the person makes the decision to work. I recommend taking time to observe how the situation unravels , not make any decisions and to wait for a few weeks. As we all need time to process and to take on board what is happening within us and around us.

Often blind spots become visible and people reveal themselves. The understanding arises of what interventions are possible. We and our family system receive the resources and energy to evolve. We gain a new or a different perspective on the situation and it becomes clearer how to act or NOT to act. We pause and observe and may request another constellation if required.

The work happens at our own pace to make it healing and productive.

I just hold space for you.
What are Transformative Spiritual & Anomalous Experiences?
Transformative Spiritual, Extra-ordinary & Anomalous Experiences have been reported throughout the human history (Pasulka, 2019) & are more common than we may think (Rabeyron, 2022; Ross & Joshi, 1992). Three in Four (North) Americans believe in paranormal (Moore, 2005). I believe it is essential to offer support & understanding to those who have had them. With continued research & study, we may gain a better understanding of the nature & significance of these experiences in our lives. More importantly, find ways to integrating them into our daily live, using practical strategies.

According to scientific research, anomalous experiences are those that fall outside the commonly accepted definition of reality shared by individuals, cultures, & time periods. These experiences are diverse & ever-evolving, from spiritual epiphanies to vivid lucid dreams, there are numerous human experiences that can be classified as extraordinary & anomalous.

The American Psychological Association (APA) classification below may or may not include a category where you feel your experience falls within:
* Synesthesia
* Lucid Dreaming
* Out-of-body experiences (OBEs)
* Anomalous Self and Identity Experiences
* Alien Abduction Experiences
* Encounters with non-human entities (NHEs)
* Psi-Related Experiences
* Anomalous Healing Experiences
* Past-Life Experiences
* Near-Death Experiences
* Mystical Experience

‌If your experience does not fall under the category above, it does not mean it is not real or did not happen. This means there is no category yet to describe it in this association.

The American Psychological Association (APA) has recognised that anomalous & transformative spiritual experiences can have a significant impact on individuals’ lives. These experiences can challenge our understanding of reality & lead to transformative changes in beliefs, attitudes and behaviours.

There is a need for further research and understanding of their nature & significance, as well as keep developing practices to assist people going through these changes. By acknowledging & studying these experiences, psychologists & researchers can gain valuable insights into the human mind & the nature of consciousness.

How do I work with individuals with Transformative Spiritual & Anomalous Experiences?
3 steps at your own pace:
1. Discovery & familiarisation session: 2 hours (1 session) or 2 sessions 1 hour each.
2. Deep dive into integration & healing practice: 6−8 hours (3−4 sessions)
3. Developing personal strategies for the future, e.g. exit strategies from unwanted experience, learning to become conscious & developing navigation strategies within the experience: 2 hours per session

4. Integrating extraordinary experiences in to your everyday life.

I am developing the EARTH LANGUAGE and its alphabet for newborn babies all the time, one symbol at a time. To do this, I require to upgrade my hand-made equipment. The professional equipment cost £12,000 GBP and collecting funds to purchase this equipment.

So far I have managed to build a temporary hand-made version of this equipment, which takes 10 times as long to setup and to calibrate every time I use the equipment. Hence the progress is rather slow. To produce one good quality symbol, I go through over 200 images manually inspecting every line so that the baby is able to see it clearly.

This project is my passion and is outside my university work. I give my personal time to it and fund it myself see far. I would like to do this work full time. If you know of funding I can apply for or you are interested to invest in the future generation yourself, please do write to me. I would love to hear what you can offer and how we can collaborate, if wish to do so as well.

Let me know if you wish to contribute in another way and to interact with me and the community.

With Light and Love for our beautiful WORLD.
