FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER

An important day February 14th!!! It's the biggest match of the Six Nations rugby tournament- Wales v's England. Some of you may have been thinking of a different cause for celebration on the 14th, whilst others are dreading the day (England being thrashed by Wales at rugby). Just worth noting that sometimes you may give a lot of thought and emotion to an event in your mind and someone else is on a completely different track. It's not personal, just an indication of the mismatch sometimes between our thoughts and what we actually communicate... To expand on this check out this months article in High Spirit magazine I wrote on relationships. http://www.juleswilliams.com/press-room.htm

WELCOME

Welcome to all of you reading this months newsletter. So much for February heralding a whiff of Sping! As I write this there is a foot of snow outside and a chill wind howling through the streets of London. Lots of exciting experiences coming up, and many ways you can get involved with your own healing and self development. First up this month is the five day residential retreat in West Wales. I have only 2 places left for those who, like me, sometimes enjoy making last minute descisions. More details of what it entails and how to book are below. Already The Mind Body Spirit Festival in London is taking bookings for my seminar on The Weigh Forward programme I developed. This is on monday 25th May (bank holiday). More workshops covering past lives, spiritual development and monthy psychic reading days are also available. www.juleswilliams.comto find out more.

WELSH RETREAT

Cold weather or spring sunshine, either way the 5 day residential retreat in Camarthanshire on the 22nd is shaping up to be a corker!! If other commitments allowed I would run one every month, because the depth of work we are able to cover over the intensive five days is fantastic and so rewarding. Someone asked me the other day if I chose Wales to hold the retreat because of bias (that was before they saw the rugby comment above) and in all honesty - no. Yes the landscape of Cerrig llwyddian and nerby Tresaith and Mwnt is awe inspiring, but so are parts of the Lake District and Rugged Scotland... The actual reason is that part of a retreat is taking yourself out of your everyday environment, out of your comfort zone and even the travel to the venue is an all important part of de-linking subconsciously - an emptying out of our glass of busy life if you will. So being remote from your day to day life and then also having the right energy, atmosphere, facitlites and ancient landscapes are all factors too. There are a final 2 places left as I mentioned above as of today's newsletter. Check out the link for more information and to book a last minute place. http://www.juleswilliams.com/residential-retreats.htm

MBS FESTIVAL

After the success of the Past Life Seminar I gave at The Mind Body Spirit Festival in Manchester last year, I have very kindly been asked to run  a two hour workshop on my unique 'Weigh Forward' programme at the London festival in  May... As many of you are aware the 'Weigh Forward' has helped thousands of people who have been unable to lose weight  and keep it off through stale, dated and traditional means. The Weigh Forward works with the subconscious to clear the emotional blocks of weight and its association with 'protection' and helps re-pattern the body back to a balanced natural weight with healing and understanding. There have been many articles published in magazines about my programme over the last 12 months and more and more people are attending the workshops. To book a ticket for the MBS Festival workshop on Bank Holiday Monday 25th May, follow the link. I look forward to seeing you there.  http://www.mindbodyspirit.co.uk/london.php 

BLOGS, BLOGGING AND MORE BLOG

Thanks again for all your generous feedback on my weekly blogs (I aim to post on Fridays)... here is an e-mail I received today to give you a taster...'I absolutely love your website. My friend, told me about it and reading the different articles has made me feel so positive and resonated with a lot of thoughts I have myself. I look forward to future articles that you post on your site.' A x. Last weeks was on giving yourself a break!!! http://www.juleswilliams.com/news-events/blog/give-your-self-a-break.htm The soul mates one I wrote back in December seems to be a popular one this month (Probably something to do with the Rugby match on the 14th, or maybe Valentines Day ;-) - http://www.juleswilliams.com/news-events/blog/soul-mates.htm. I genuinely write the articles as a stream of consciousness over about ten minutes. They are musings but I do try to incorporate a piece of my spiritual understanding and relevance into the piece. Please let me know if there are any topics or questions close to your heart that you want me to cover and I will see what I can do. You can e-mail me at jules@juleswilliams.com.

JULES'S JOURNAL

Everyone who knows me will be all too aware of my writing journal going everywhere with me. Yep, meetings, the television studio, on dates, to the pub and even international rugby matches. These people will also know how many times I have come close to losing or in the old days of number 1 journal actually misplacing it (I'm on journal number 4 now). However It always makes its way back into my hands. Anyway back to the point!!! I have grappled with the idea of sharing  some excerpts from it each month. I write all sorts in it and cut out pieces from newspapers / magazines / postcards etc too to go in it. So what I thought was each month I will share a word, saying, anecdote or poem with the hope it may spark an interest, inspiration, or discussion  in some way. I came across the word 'RECHERCHE' (ruh-shair-shay) the other day, meaning 'sought out with care' which I felt could be used with relevance for how we seek out our friends, our partners, our choices for how we live our life, our goals dreams and aspirations - A great word to remind us to check we aren't doing the opposite and allowing all and sundry to invade our space, our time, our thoughts and our experiences.

ELK MEDICINE

Elk has wandered into this February's newsletter, probably just to prove, I channel the most relevant medicine animal for all of our highest good each month rather than one that could tick all the neat little boxes. Elk is really about stamina, about recognising that you need to pace yourself and work steadily towards your goals (relationships / work / personal dreams etc.) That is the strength you can utilise this month by focusing on forging ahead steadily and smoothly. In order to do this Elk maybe reminding you to nurture yourself physically too and not burn the candle at both ends, definitely a cross country race not a sprint this month.

Elk also is quite rare medicine in that apart from mating time it only socialises with members of the same gender. Before I hear all the quips about Friday night's and Valentines day, the bigger message is about spending time this month to nurture your same sex friendships - the power of the brotherhood or sisterhood if you will. If you can manage this it helps overcome feelings of competition or jealousy with your friends and offers a support group to safely share your worries and doubts about the love in your life, and day to day challenges.
