Carlie DalyPOR T FO L I O

Today I danced with a gentleman, laughed with a freckle-nosed child and got tipsy with some beautiful fairies; a magical, soul-filling experience that lifted my vibrational level to dazzling heights. It was not a dream, or the beginning of a beautiful fantasy, but a real life adventure in a popular

park in the middle of London.

With Maria Zhuravleva as my energy guide, I felt relaxed about the prospect of talking to trees. Having worked with energy for several years, Maria loves taking groups on energy healing walks in different parks and locations around central London. She believes that we can connect through energy to everything and everyone around us in order to heal ourselves from the inside. She is a passionate teacher who is delighted to share her knowledge with those willing to experience it.

When we step inside the park, it is a hive of human activity. Around us, people are lapping up the gorgeous weather bestowed upon a city often hampered by Mother Nature’s moods. As we approach a cluster of trees, I look to Maria for guidance. ‘You will know which tree to pick’, she encourages me. ‘Just look towards the one that stands out to you the most’.

I spot a handsome looking elm up ahead and casually saunter towards him. Him? I sense his masculine nature before I even reach the spot where he stands tall. ‘You can hug him if you like. The trees like this’, Maria whispers. Hesitantly, I reach my arms around his trunk (should I ask him first?) and breathe in. As I embrace this strong-barked deciduous, pressing deeply into his rigid folds, I immediately feel a sense of calm; a pro-tection and strength that seems external to my own energy.

I am transported to a ballroom sometime in the late 1800s, with petticoats and frills where I waltz with my big handsome man in uniform. It feels intimate, romantic and safe. ‘I love this one’, I declare to Maria, who giggles with delight and knowing. ‘All trees are different; they have unique personalities and stories to tell through their energy’, she says.

Picnics, floral dresses and sparkling champagne are all on show as we weave daintily amongst the buzz, hugging trees as we go. Gradually, I become less aware of the curious human glances and begin to trust the green magic.

I’m enthralled by each beautiful tree-soul that I’m introduced to, some of whom have become Maria’s own personal friends. There are such distinctions between each tree that we touch that I begin to grasp the idea that humans are much more connected to nature than we truly understand. It reminds me of my own words many years ago, when I was on a family trip through the rugged wilderness of Tasmania and professed my hate for nature with such indignance that it became a family joke.

I eat my words humbly today because just when I think I have mastered the tree talking business, Maria guides me towards a bush of white daisies and explains the incredible power of flowers. ‘Stand in their aura and just breathe them in’, Maria lovingly instructs.I do as she suggests and within moments my head is spinning and my body energised with an incredible lightness of being; I am drunk. I have become a bee, lured to the sweet elixir of nature - who needs champagne!

In my awakened state, I become bold; touching plants, leaves, flowers and rocks, anything that might give me some sweet soulful exchange. An aura of natural energy surrounds both of us like we have taken a dopamine pill straight from the earth itself. I don’t want the feeling to end and, thankfully, it stays with me long after I leave the garden.

I must admit that later, when the low vibration shadow reproaches and I doubt that such a journey could be anything but fantasy, I remember what Maria taught me: even if I can’t quite get my head around the logic and I put it down to pure imagination, it doesn’t really matter; the feelings and visions are real, the energy is electric and if my imagination can make me drunk, then I really can’t be complaining.

I’m hooked! I’ve found some natural healing in the middle of this busy existence we call life and I highly suggest you give it a go. Have a party with the trees and shift your consciousness to a brand new level.

I am sure many of you will agree that playing with your food as a child was met with much resistance and reprimand. However, I would like to suggest a return to this practice, all in the name of good health. As we know on this journey, we carry much wisdom as children that is evidently rubbed out of us as we immerse into accepted societal structures. As adults, we have the opportunity to return to this divine wisdom and I know that by reading this, you are one of these magnificent sparks of light and knowing!

So, if we played with food as a child, ultimately we were once attuned to sens-ing the energy vibrations within this vital source and systematically working out what we needed. But what about the chil-

dren that avoid vegetables? I hear you say. Surely they aren’t acting on any enlightened

wisdom?

I offer you this thought; if we have the power to listen to our bodies and nourish them according to our specific needs, then we also have the power to ignore those needs in order to nourish our desires. We need to remember that on this planet, we have the divine gift of ultimate choice, something that sets us apart from other galaxy beings.

We are constantly tempted (children too) with luring and addictive foods that speak to our minds and not our souls.

As we grow, this moves from sweets and junk food to more intoxicating and illicit substances like drugs and alcohol. The immediate comforts of these consumables often outweighs the better judgement of our subconscious and we indulge in patterns that are whilst mostly socially acceptable, have a profound effect on our connection with spirit.

Recently, I’ve taken up the exercise of choosing my food and drink based on sense and intuition. You can hear about this on the podcast here. It is an interest-ing little game that has led to a decrease in my consumption and an increase in my energy and overall health.

In short, here are the steps to follow:

1. Enter a store/market that immediately draws you. Look for healthy and vibrant looking produce that captures your attention, rather than your shopping or mental ‘should have’ list.2. Once inside the store, forget all else and allow your senses to speak to you. What stands out most in colour, energy vibrations or smell?

3. Pick up a piece of food that draws you in and hold it in your hand. Feel it and see if you can make out what messages you are receiving. It could simply be a sensation, a word or an emotion.4. Try out some foods that don’t draw you in and see what effects these have when you pick them up. Can you tell the difference?5. Buy the food that has spoken to you and use your intuition to prepare these nourishing friends for your meals.

Some helpful hints:

• Don’t worry about how the food will go together, I truly believe that each piece has it’s own energy and will let you know what you are to do with it. Per-haps, you are being called to just eat one thing at a time. Feel the freedom of eating in a way that your body calls you to, rather than what is expected of you.

• Don’t try to shop in bulk, this will only confuse your senses and you are likely to bring your conscious mind into the process rather than driving with your intuition.

• Produce in bags is usually to be avoid-ed, it indicates more processing than that of others.

• Seasonal products should stand out to you more because they have been grown locally.

• Trust your inner guidance to show you what you need. Keep note of the food you pick and any effects you feel after consuming.

You may not always have time to sense your food but it is a practice that you could adopt once a week to build up your ability. You may like to try this technique when ordering food in a restaurant to see if you can sense the most beneficial food for your soul through a menu.

Let me know in the comments below if you have any experience with this type of sensing or if you have tried it out for your-self.

Happy food shopping!

Ithink it is important to post this interview first, as an introduction to teachings behind my newly discovered knowledge. It’s a bit of a long one but I am hoping It will give you

some insight into the magic we are working with and the powerful teacher who has opened this universe for me.

“Energy is all there is” - Maria Zhuravleva

Maria Zhuravleva is an energy healer and hypnotherapist who is originally from Moscow and moved to London in 2010 when her spiritual awakening process began.

What began as “a deep inner yearning to discover intuition and extrasensory perception”, has blossomed into a powerful life-purpose that enables Maria to heal others by connecting to the energy within. I sat down with Maria to find out a little more about who she is and how we can be healed in this life.

When people ask what you do, what do you tell

them?

I usually say that I am an energy healer and I help people to find their own gifts. My main dedication is past life regression work through Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique.

How would you describe the work that you do?

I work with energy to help people recognise their own gifts. It is time to remember again how to heal ourselves and help the world to raise the vibration. My job is to assist people to remember their own power. I have found through my work that there is healing energy of a truly magical quality available for all of us in the space. If we can learn to use this energy and direct it towards healing and

well-being, our lives will be enriched. Our powers are truly magnificent! It is time to remember. I would like to believe I help people reconnect with their true calling.

What can people expect when they come to see you?

People can expect to be treated with love and respect. I use my experience and techniques to bring a transformational change in the person. I treat every person individually and connect intuitively to their situation so I can feel how I may help them in the best way.

How did you discover that you could read energy

from people’s hands?

This was a very interesting experience that came to me a couple of years after I learnt Reiki. At some point of my life I felt I could read objects with my hands and I literally felt drawn to touch different objects and connect to them energetically: trees, stones, pictures.

The turning point came when I was with a friend who was asking for personal advice. I suddenly felt an urge to take her hand and connect deeper. It was as though I felt I could help her more if I channeled a message with my eyes closed hold-ing her hand. And I discovered this was a beautiful healing experience. Messages started coming to me from above, and they were of a very profound and healing quality. I feel really blessed to be doing this work.

Who are your main influences/ guides in your own journey on the path of healing and spirituality?

In the beginning of my journey I was very much awakened by the work of Dolores Cannon, as it made me remember my purpose and what I am here to do. I was also interested in the work of Diana Cooper who talks about Angels, Orbs and Unicorns, the brilliant work of Echkart Tolle and the Law of Attraction. Having said that, I always felt that I should be truly guided from the inside and pay more attention to the guidance that came to be directly from above. I feel this is the power that we all have.

INTERVIEW with Maria Zhuravleva Maria’s Universe

July 2016

Carlie DalyPOR T FO L I O

When you say a ‘strong intuitive feeling’, was there a

particular event that led/ caused this?

There wasn’t. I guess it was just the right time. Back in 2010, suddenly the events in my life started to take a faster synchronic pace, I could feel a sense of magic in the air. I had a strong guidance to look into the field of spirituality and I followed it. I didn’t know where it was leading me at the time but I knew I had to see it through. I started looking for all possible information on the subject: attending courses, reading books, practicing various meditations and techniques. All that could help me reconnect and remember.

What were you doing before you became an energy

healer?

I was a normal person (laughs). Well, I guess I never really was, even as a child I felt very different from the world around me. When I was a little girl, I felt I could connect with the spirit world and I strongly believed there was “another world” somewhere beyond this one. I found it hard to get used to the physical world and felt lonely very often.

I followed a fairly regular life path, I graduated from the Linguistic University in Moscow, then started to look for jobs in many areas. I tried modelling for a while as I have always felt drawn to cinema and art. I ended up working in tourism as I felt at least it could provide me with a less ‘mundane’ office job. However, I always felt emptiness and a sensation that I wasn’t doing the right thing in all of these previous occupations.

You speak about Dolores Cannon being your major

source of inspiration and you studied under her at

the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Academy. How did

you first find out about her work?

I accidently pressed the play button on a YouTube video that someone shared on Facebook. I had an instant calling to press it and as soon as I did, I was astounded. Her voice, the vibration of the interview and, most importantly, the deep subjects that she spoke about: life after death, spirit guides, the Subconscious - all struck me so much. I immediate-ly knew this was real and I had to follow it. It was as though I suddenly remembered a lot of knowledge that I used to know long ago. I would never forget that day as life has never been the same since.

What specifically about Dolores’ teaching spoke to you?

The tone of her voice, there was something so pow-erful and ‘other wordly’ in it. The confidence with which she was speaking. Most importantly, the truths that she shared within her work. Dolores’ work covers the massive scope of old knowledge on metaphysical subjects: ancient mysteries, old civilisations, spirit world, healing, other lifeforms and more. Once you get in touch with this information, you are fully connected and never the same again. This is the knowledge that we all have but have forgotten.

Why do you think we have forgotten this knowledge

that is obviously so important to our own under-

standing of the world?

I feel that the human population has moved into a different direction of development focusing more on the rational mind, relying on the technology, looking for answers outside. There is an infinite amount of love, higher consciousness and divinity which exists within each one of us and when we know how to connect with it, we can truly ascend and overcome many illusionary blocks, like illness-es, misfortune and so on. When we are disconnected from ourselves and from the energy, we tend to get lost in the material world and only believe “what we can see” or what “can be proved”. When in fact, it’s the other way around. We live in a Quantum Universe, where what we believe in and how we see things affect the way our reality is. This is just so important to understand as it makes life easier!

How do you see the energy around us? Does it have

colours or textures?

I can say I am more a “feeler”. I sense energies in a very profound way, for example I can connect to one’s gifts, life purpose, mood, past experiences. I can hear trees talking and crystals healing. I also see occasional sparkles of light and perceive auras around trees and people. I believe energy is all around us, it is constantly moving, connecting and disconnecting, joining and separating. The energy has a vibration, a certain frequency which we can all perceive on a telepathic intuitive level.

This is where my teaching comes from. If we were only to focus on our abilities to sense and to feel, incredible gifts will be suddenly open to us! There is so much more beyond this physical world!

Carlie DalyPOR T FO L I O

What is your foundational knowledge about the

universe- what drives you to do what you do?

I feel very inspired to let people know how power-ful they are. To take their attention away from their minds, concepts, beliefs and others people’s opinions. I really would like to help the world to start healing naturally and believe in miracles and their own powers again. I would love people to start feeling energies and understand that there is a great expansive world beyond what they see everyday. I would love people to see the power of energy work and find how beneficial it is. I would love people to start connecting to each other from the heart, through energy, to go from the surface to depth. I would love people to recognise that all around them is alive, including nature, water, stones and earth. And teach them to communicate with it. All the messages and information is already there, we just need to tap into it.

Tell me about spirit guides, how can these be

manifested and what forms might they take on?

The Spirit Guides are the beings assigned to each spirit when we enter a lifetime. They take care of our soul development and look after our journey. Some spirit guides stay with us through lifetimes and some may change and go as we enter new levels of evolvement. There is usually a team of spirit guides on the other side. They look after us, making sure we are following the right path. The Spirit Guides really know our spirit well and are aware of our challenges and lessons.

Spirits are guiding us constantly through signs, in-tuition, dreams and inner awareness. It is possible to be in touch more consciously with the Spirit Guides through meditation and inner connection. They are beautiful, knowledgeable, advanced beings. They are made of energy and can take any shape that the person feels more comfortable with (a native American, an old wise man, a woman, a child, an animal). This will also be connected with the energy that they carry and with wisdom that they share with us.

Being in touch with the spirit guides is very helpful for us as then we receive information not just on the physical level, but also on the spiritual level. We are more clear about our path, we trust our powers and our journey, we have more belief in ourselves and our abilities. And we have love and support. Very often spirit guides are here to give us comfort and support, to let us know that we are not alone.

This is what they say:“You are good”, “Everything will be alright”, “Believe”, “Trust”, “Don’t be afraid”, “Just do it”, “Don’t doubt.”

SYNOPSIS

Body Control is about an average teenage guy called Beau, who is triggered to think about his body image. A photo prank on social media suddenly brings issues of body image to the fore and Beau is thrust into a world of dangerous eating and excessive exercise regimes. Developing a voice in his head; Lex is a character that comes to life to coach Beau into becoming the ‘perfect’ image of himself.

Along his journey, we see Beau’s interactions with various important people in his life including his mother, his English teacher, best mate Steve, and a potential love interest; Lacey. The idea behind this play is to understand and explore the seriousness of body image disorders in males as well as females. Male body dysmorphia is still a taboo issue in society as men struggle to be open about their feelings about a historically perceived ‘female’ condition.

“I’ll stop all of this soon, I mean when I reach the perfect size I wont need to cut meals and over-exercise. Like I said before, when I get to my goal, my life will be perfect. I’m still in control…No matter what Lex or anyone else thinks. I can stop whenever I want.” - Beau

“I don’t know what’s up with him. We used to hang out all the time doing…just normal guy stuff. We played footy, checked out girls, cracked jokes and just hung out. I think something might be up but I dunno, maybe he just needs to work it out on his own.” - Steve, best friend
