The inspiration behind this song came from four passages in the Bible: Leviticus 18:22 / John 3:16 / 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 / 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 This song was also meant to be sung to the tune of Elisa’s “Una Poesia Anche Per Te” Probably one of the most personal things I’ve ever written… I’m sure most everyone will realize exactly what I’m talking about in this song without me having to spell it out… getting it out of my system this way is cathartic in a way I can’t even begin to describe. If you want to ask me anything about this song, feel free – I still feel the need to talk about it with anyone who has any sort of idea what I’ve dealt with these past 21 years…

It maybe useful to print this out for reference. There’s a lot of stuff here. These implements of healing; #1 ANIMAL RESCUE, #2 CESSATION, #3 IDENTIFY HARMFUL NEGATIVITY, #4 RELAXATION, #5 RESPECT FOR ONESELF, #6 RESPECT FOR ALL LIVING THINGS, #7 PUSHING ONESELF, #8 TRUSTING ONESELF, #9 CONNECT WITH NATURE, #10 CONNECT WITH POSITIVITY, #11 POSITIVE SYMBOLIC MEANING, #12 POSITIVE SYMBOLIC ACTIONS, #13 CONSERVE ENERGY, #14 RECORDING YOUR PROGRESS, When these are activated by meditation, creative work (all of the visual arts, drama, dance, writings, good food, and music) and also by incorperating these tools into everyday life. There is no going back once this journey is started. I need to shine the torch back through the tunnel of pain that I’ve been through.There is a way out. Based on my experience of emotions and health being linked. I have written this manifesto for many reasons. My Manifesto has elements of alternative practices for healing which I see as most benefical and relevent to my healing experience. A simple bit of information can solve a big problem sometimes. Just one little moment of connecting and thinking. As simple as that. It may be placebo but hey it works! I’m dedicated to promoting healing. I’ve taken on recomendations for books from friends and also attended public talks and have taken notes from The Dalai Lama’s visit to Nottingham Arena. I’ve met life coach Fay Hartwell, sound therapist Nicola Kelshall, Mark Graham a druid, a Elaine Mein a hereditory witch, Robert Hawk and Anam Gemma both shamans. I can see that the essential part of healing is firstly about the power of thought and allowing the body to deeply relax to experience soothing sensations. Dealing effectively with negativity and embracing positivity as much as possible will strengthen the connection with the self,. Body and mind. When you suffer terribly it can make you desperatly want to leave the painful body behind to go somewhere peaceful. All of the genuine alternative healing practicioners work with the intention to get you to feel happy and safe in your own skin again. The experience of a painful illness is a traumatic and powerful thing. The mind is a powerful thing and needs powerful positive experiences to communicate the intention to heal. Nothing to do with hippy dippy mumbo jumbo but a practical intentional management of the mind and body. Things like sensation, visualization, compassion and intention are essential componants of a positive healing medicine. This manifesto works to supply some key suggestions of going about guiding the power of thought to concentrate on healing. This is the foundation of which I base my therapeutic creative artwork sessions on. But also to record what I have found useful to myself and act as a reminder. I hope you feel like printing this out and keeping as a guide so that you can find empowerment and help in this too. Please contact me if you have any questions.
I am / a good listener / a good hugger / a weak hand shaker I think / that i know everything / that i am gods gift to mankind and womankind…
from my past i bring my truth. this is how i am and what i am, i have lied too much and am feeling the burden of the truth unraveling.
These storms go on the entire time, but thats for the inside. If it’s worth being told it will be there when the storm has passed. And…
Just a ranting of mine.

You put my soul at ease / With words I can’t describe, / Giving me a sense of dichotomy
I tend to have episodes where I write a lot and remain fixated on particular themes. In 2006 a big one for me was control. It was a time of desire and longing, change and chaos for me, but like most difficult things – a period of growth. Poem first written 15/2/06 and revised 3/8/06 Linkin Park’s Pushing Me Away I’ve lied to you / The same way that I always do / This is the last smile / That I’ll fake for the sake of being with you Everything falls apart / Even the people who never frown / Eventually break down / The sacrifice of hiding in a lie Everything has to end / You’ll soon find we’re out of time left / To watch it all unwind / The sacrifice is never knowing Why I never walked away / Why I played myself this way / Now I see you’re testing me pushes me away / Why I never walked away / Why I played myself this way / Now I see your testing me pushes me away I’ve tried like you / To do everything you wanted to / This is the last time / I’ll take the blame for the sake of being with you Everything falls apart / Even the people who never frown / Eventually break down / The sacrifice of hiding in a lie Everything has to end / You’ll soon find we’re out of time left / To watch it all unwind / The sacrifice is never knowing Why I never walked away / Why I played myself this way / Now I see you’re testing me pushes me away / Why I never walked away / Why I played myself this way / Now I see you’re testing me pushes me away We’re all out of time / This is how we find how it all unwinds / The sacrifice of hiding in a lie / We’re all out of time / This is how we find how it all unwinds / The sacrifice is never knowing Why I never walked away / Why I played myself this way / Now I see you’re testing me pushes me away / Why I never walked away / Why I played myself this way / Now I see you’re testing me pushes me away / Pushes me away

My children have inspired me to do many things. Writing poetry is one of my greatest attributes.
And if I should fade tomorrow / who would remember me?
Certain feelings can make you do out-of-self things… Such like writing something for someone very dear to you—even if that someone doesn’t know it.
Whatever we project is returned to us because that which we focus on we give power to… it is the power of intention
