Waveform 1 and 2 Loch Lomond March April 07

This course is an ‘awakening’, both pulling down old concepts and ‘remembering’ new ones. I am learning to trust ‘receptors’ - new material, learning to ‘play’ more. Three months apprenticeship in Scotland might be useful! O.Z

The course has enabled me to feel instantly without intellectualising. What I have gained from the workshop is confidence in my inner abilities to be able to feel what is happening where I am, here and now. JG.G

The teaching was first rate. Waveform has added another dimension or two to my shiatsu and helped to bring my experiences into focus. R.U

The course gets to the ‘nitty gritty’ of the subject and does not jump over sections G.M.
The workshops for me have linked the invisible with the visible, and my perceptions on healing have changed.
A deeper understanding of energy connection. Enjoyed the whole experience, which enables me to work in a more effective way with people/clients. With Love thanks and gratitude. R.R

Heightened awareness of my receptors – the confidence to go away and develop this sensitivity. V.H
Gained consciousness of the finer energies for healing and body awareness. S.L

What I have gained from this workshop is, that I know that what I now feel is real for me, not my imagination. I am sorry that I waited so long to have all this. M.K

I now have much more confidence in my abilities. A new vision of what I am trying to achieve in Shiatsu – a deeper appreciation of energy and how to feel it. C.M

The workshop fulfilled my expectations - all extremely ‘simple’ in many respects – why is this appreciation of energy not taught at the beginning of (therapy) training in energy work?
(From this workshop) I have gained an awareness of feeling energy, I now need to go out and practice.

‘This workshop was really inspiring’ RR

‘Excellent support and explanations’ DC

I didn’t have any expectations before the workshop therefore it was all very exciting for me. MK

‘The workshop made me think about how real my ‘feelings’ are and how I can use this to access benefits for my clients quickly’. MK

‘Realising that I am aware of energy, even though perhaps I thought that I wasn’t connecting much’.

I learned to hold back from giving too much information, and enable new people to discover for themselves - 'Guide' not 'feed'. Sandra George - Waveform Grad (Assisting on the workshop).

‘Excellent workshop; of great benefit to my acupuncture particularly in increasing my awareness of the energy of points as they change’. GB

Excellent, light hearted and very effective teaching. I found the concepts very useful and exciting. Of great help in my healing practice’. RW

‘The workshop was well presented and interesting, and the topic was well explained. I expect that it will be highly beneficial to my work and life in general. I think that this course could benefit most people’. AC

‘A very useful and equally enjoyable workshop’. AG

‘I did/do have high expectations, however I am not disappointed’. KV‘

The workshop exceeded my expectations’ AC

‘A measurable response to energy; your course does what it says ‘on the tin’. KV

’Realisations re; ‘change’ - pre-conceptions – focussing on understanding energetic fields within the aura will help my healing work and daily life’ RM

’Sense of Stillness! Essential new skill to use with clients’. PW

‘I feel more able to trust my own experiences’ RG

’Increased awareness of energetic change, moving from the academic up in my head, to my heart and my intuition’. GB

I received validation of changes in energy I already sensed (but dismissed). This workshop will help me in my work and general life. Hopefully I will become even more aware of energetic changes and their therapeutic benefit’. AC

"The training I did with you this year was just the right thing at the right time - thanks for being there.
It was also enormous fun, with great tutors and trainees, and I still can't get over how Stella did all that caring and catering, as well as teaching on the course, and all without visibly breaking into a sweat". MB

Quotes from our Graduates in reply to the question ‘What are the benefits that you feel you gained from the workshop?

“Consolidated my understanding of receptors- strengthened my appreciation of ‘peaks’ and ‘rumbles’, and gave me a lot of ideas about how to apply it in practice”. GL Osteopath.

“Confident in using receptors and integrating Waveform into my Shiatsu Treatments”. ML Shiatsu Practitioner – MRSS.
”Really built on Waveform 2 - helped how I can incorporate it into treatments with Reflexology. Confident now to use it on its own”. PG Reflexologist

“The Practical work more than clarified the verbal explanation, and the coaching through this was excellently performed.
A course like this can only improve confidence, awareness and ability and so much more - and it did. It is not only something to take into Shiatsu practice but daily life in all respects. Bring on more courses like this; they are invaluable”. S.H.

“You were very patient with my need for further clarification, and your workshops are never long enough. This workshop boosted my confidence; now I need to carry on believing that I can do it, and remembering to do it”. A.B. “I gained confidence, clarity and confirmation of what now seems normal”. C de G.

“I’m glad to get more help with specific work with distant healing. I have gained more confidence, tools and method, more inspiration and lots to assimilate. Great to see the DVD-lots to reflect on. Great work Stella and Mike – thank you”. L.C.

“Reinforcement of all current learning and encouragement to continue”. S.G.

I gave my first reiki treatment at the weekend (quite an impromptu thing) where I instinctively took my cues from Waveform and my receptors, rather than consciously looking for them.
It was very interesting, the friend who I was treating (who has just started training in NLP and is becoming more open and aware) commented how much stronger I had become since I first started practising Reiki.

Time and experience help, but having a bigger tool box and better understanding were just as important. Waveform has helped me to get to this point. I am eager to keep moving forward. L.D

"At last a down to earth and empowering workshop, practical and theoretic, working well on scientific and spiritual sides; excellent tuition; fun and serious; great individual attention which made it work so well.
Looking forward for more - brilliant!" R. D. member of staff -College of Psychic studies.

"A very, thoroughly enjoyable experience; learned new skills and look forward to developing and using these further". Y.B

"Very effective and fun - All great!" J.W – member of staff -College of Psychic studies.

"This workshop has been well presented, I found it very interesting and definitely want to know more about the subject and attend the following workshops about Waveform". G.G.

"Excellent – applicable to everyone interested in energy, we need Waveform 2 and 3 please." P.S.

"Very good, I hope that they do the second weekend here, love the receptors and exercises, very practical." G.C.

"Fascinating! Of interest for both my personal and Professional development. Waveform has real reference across a wide range of energetic practice". P.P.

' I'd had a break from years of different types of energy work and was ready to come in fresh from another angle.
I found this workshop absolutely ideal for the thinking person who wants to explore the wonder of energy without the mumbo jumbo. Great tuition with great people - and I've come away with many fascinating and useful things to work on.'

Thank you so much for a wonderful insightful weekend. The course was extremely thought provoking, and in an original way.

Perspectives given are very much on target for today’s world, and it is the best approach to marketing I have ever come across. I hope that more people will take advantage in the expertise contained in this approach to marketing.

My daughter had a riding accident on 21st May when her horse reared and fell back on top of her. She was taken to hospital where it was discovered she had broken her pelvis in five places; a nasty injury at the best of times, but she was due to be married on 19th August in Ireland and desperately wanted to be able to walk down the aisle. For the first couple of days she was in a lot of pain but the painkillers made her extremely sick.

Having attended a Part I course at Holycombe some months before, I called on the help of Waveform as I had read how other alerts had helped people and was told that two recent graduates would be helping her if I just sent in a photograph. The first report highlighted her pelvic area but also her knee as having a problem. When I went into the hospital the next day I asked if she had had pain in that knee and she wondered how I knew. She had not complained although it had been painful enough to keep her awake but she said it had suddenly got better.

She had to spend a month in hospital on her back without getting out of bed and a further month on complete bed rest at home. During this time one of her Waveform helpers correctly noted and helped her backache and a bad spell of asthma (neither of which had been mentioned). When the consultant saw her Xrays which were taken one month after the accident, he thought they must have been two months afterwards due to the rate of healing shown.

She was meant to then have a further month of using a wheelchair and then gradual weight bearing and we were told she would probably be on crutches for the wedding. However, she very quickly tossed the crutches aside and began walking normally and, five days before the wedding she had her final Xray. The consultant was amazed that she was walking unaided and that she had more flexibility and movement in her hip joints than he did!

The happy ending to the story is that the wedding was wonderful and she not only walked down the aisle but managed to enjoy the entire day and danced until 3.00 a.m.!

Pathfinder Workshop with Joy Foubister and Mary Tulloch
Loch Lomond June 3/4 and 6/7 2006

Hi, Mike and Stella

Sorry it has taken so long to write and thank you for a brilliant weekend at Joy and Mary's workshop. I feel really privileged to have been part of the group. What a perfect location your home is.

Another Waveform/Pathfinder course has more than come up to expectation. I knew I would enjoy it and I knew I would learn from it - as I have done on every course. I found the work soul-searching. Everyone I worked with, and everything I did for myself, pointed in the one direction, so when it came to the self-healing time on the Sunday afternoon (with some very valuable help from Mike) I was able to take a big step forward to creating the new me. I left Loch Lomond feeling much lighter and determined to keep working on the new me.
I have had some time off this week and have joined a gym - and my business will only benefit from me being less stressed and much fitter.

I feel very reassured after the weekend that I am on the right path.
Joy and Mary were wonderful to have around. Mary is so much quieter but you can almost see her brain working. She and I did not have a lot of contact but she was responsible for pushing me a bit more when doing the work in the garden - and it worked. Joy was so encouraging and gentle but so spot on with her comments. I just wish I could have spent more time with them as there is so much to learn. Hopefully they might be encouraged by this workshop and will consider further Pathfinder courses - I'll be on the list!

I look forward to receiving the e-mail addresses of those on the course. There are a few people I would like to thank for their readings and advice - all of which I am trying to act on.

With love J x

Dear Mike and Stella

I cannot thank you enough for hosting a wonderful and profoundly healing experience.

Each time we beat a path to your door, it is opened and a whole new world appears, bigger and brighter than before as we become who we are.
I feel a great privilege to have been able to work with Joy and Mary, and to feel their ( tremendous and) wonderful healing power. I look forward to the next episode, and to bask again on the sunny shores of Loch Lomond.

Just a quick note to thank you very much for hosting the week-end it was very valuable to me. Can you please thank Mary and Joy for their help and care.

Stella and Mike thank you once more for your hospitality and kindness. I felt very vulnerable but yet so good. Have not received so many hugs and love for a while and it did me so good. I expected an intensive workshop and ended up opening my soul to the deepest point where I have not been for some time. It probably had to be this way so that I can move on.
Mike I will think of your words next time somebody tries to put me into places or wants to change me. And Joy, I will think of your sentence about love. My deepest respect and love to the two wonderful ladies I felt very well looked after.

Hi Mike & Stella,
Many thanks for holding such an incredible course last weekend at Holycombe, although I have practised some of the exercises we did in the past, and have done other similar ones in the past on Shiatsu courses and in Tai Chi, this was a totally new approach and had totally different results!
For the past week I have had on & off strong sensations in my feet and root chakra and a lot of activity in my hands, and I woke up in the middle of Wednesday night because the room was filled with lines of light on the ceiling - a wondrous sight - I have been much more aware of energy surrounding people, animals and objects and occasionally seen colours around clients. I'm already seeing the potential waveform could have in improving the quality of my work as a practitioner and teacher, and I am definitely going to take part in Waveform 2 at Holycombe in November, and look forward to seeing you then.

Many thanks Mike for passing on what you have learnt - a lot by transference I feel - it was a very special weekend.

Love & light

Miriam

-----------------------------------------

Mike and Stella,
A big thank you for the weekend, it has been an extremely rewarding experience and I'm looking forward to seeing you at the end of March for part two.
Today I've treated my first client since the weekend and had the opportunity to apply my new tools. Amusingly, I found that because I could 'lock in' on what wanted to change and applied appropriate techniques I became concerned that I'd need to almost 'pad out' the remainder of the treatment. To me I feel that what we learnt as 'centering' is actually building our frame of reference from which to work from. Last night I was teaching a class and performed some sticking hands with several students I was amazed at how I could sense the intent of where they wanted to strike and this allowed me to calmly redirect and respond into their openings. Very enjoyable and truly relaxing (for me anyway!!). I guess it wasn't that stressful for my partners either because they ended up just laughing at how frequently they were getting 'tapped'.
Anyway, just wanted to thank you once more.
Best wishes and good health..
Joel.

Tom,

Waveform is everything and more what I have personally been looking for since my Ju-Jutsu teachers death nearly eight years ago. In just 20 years of martial arts I've seen/experienced a lot of things that border on the fantastic; unfortunately most teachers that can demonstrate anything do just that; demonstrate. It is an affliction of the weak that they sit more comfortably upon their pedestals with little hero worshippers at their feet than actually fulfilling the role of a sensei; to guide other individuals to their own understanding.

For me Waveform has clearly given me the tools to now go away and learn the 'how?' of these things I've experienced. My shiatsu and martial arts have already made big improvements in under a week! Looking forward to the next one.
Best wishes to you

Joel
(Shiatsu Practitioner and Martial Arts Teacher)
