Have you ever wished your body could speak?

Have you ever been so frustrated with your energy levels that you go round in circles looking at different techniques, diet, sleep patterns, time commitments and still haven’t found an answer? Do you get that sinking feeling when your children ask you to take them to the park, your partner wants to go on an evening out or your job needs you to be more active? Is this the kind of chatter going on in your head every day:

“Will I have enough energy to make it until lunch break?”

“Can I say yes, and cancel if I don’t feel up to it?”

“I will be fine! If I manage an hour on the sofa after lunch I’ll be able to collect the kids.”

Well, if so, then I’m also sure you have asked the question,

“Why can’t my body talk and tell me what it needs?”

My name is Hazel Macfarlane from Designed to be and I discovered that your body CAN speak, you CAN find a solution and there IS a way of hearing what your body says AND what it needs. Using techniques based on 1000’s of years of knowledge it is possible to bring your energy back into balance.

Let me share with you how I discovered this amazing possibility. I trained and worked for 20 years as an architect, had a stressful workload in the commercial sector in London and latterly ran an office in Berlin. I had just started married life when I suddenly had a series of panic attacks and anxiety spikes that stopped me in my tracks. From one day to the next I couldn’t manage to go out, drive the car or even cope with the daily jobs. It was incredibly frightening, not to mention puzzling, and I looked into every possible option to get back my energy and my life. However, this led to a long process that spanned almost 15 years. Yes, 15 years of ups and downs in energy levels.

I began to feel like I would never get to the bottom of it and had resigned myself to just coping! I tried everything including many alternative therapies and some worked for a time but then I would have a relapse. However, I then discovered one that changed everything. After all this time of mental analysis, worry and questioning of my situation (Was I going mad, was I a hypochondriac?), I discovered a technique that removed my brain from the equation and went straight to my body………I was hooked. This technique talks directly to the body’s energy systems and so allows the body an opportunity to explain where it is struggling and where it needs help.

So why is this technique exciting? Well, if you have suffered for many years with energy issues then you will have tried many different therapies and had many confusing diagnosis. Why try this one? Well, perhaps think of it like this:

If you have a problem with a service or product who would you rather speak to, the customer call-centre or the head of the company? With health, there are many amazing practitioners who have experience of specific issues and if you find the right one to match your problem then great, but as each of us is unique with different life experiences, put that into the mix and the chances of finding the right help can take a long time. Just like the call to the call-centre. However, if you had the option of going directly to the head of the company, wouldn’t you take it?

Our body IS the head of the company and you can talk directly to it. There is no equipment involved but just using simple arm and leg movements it is possible to get an energetic response that communicates with the body. Then using specific exercises, you can support your systems and bring your energy back into balance.

Now, I make this sound simple but as you know when one part of your health starts to suffer it affects other areas and there is always a knock on effect as the body naturally attempts to survive and find balance. You are a complex organism with many systems working together and if the issues have been going on for some time there may be a number of layers and static that have built up just allowing you to get through the day. It means the body is giving out confusing signals. By using energy-testing techniques to talk to the body it is possible to remove the static and empower you to understand the body’s voice. When this happens, not only does your energy start flowing but having a greater awareness of your personal blocks means you don’t repeat old patterns and you learn to trust your body again.

You see, the first stage is having the tool to communicate with the body but the next part is to understand the vocabulary it is using. The techniques and mindset I apply have all one thing in common, they look at the body as a whole, the bigger picture. As an Architect, you are trained to work with the overall design. To learn about each of the component parts and understand how they function, fit together and identify where there are problems. Unlike buildings our bodies have an inner intelligence and it is communicating with this intelligence that makes it so exciting. Energy Medicine is rooted in traditional teachings that identify ALL the body’s subtle energy systems, how they communicate and how they work together to keep us surviving and thriving.

To illustrate this better let me tell you a client’s story. A lady came to me 2 months after returning home from travelling. She needed to be hospitalised for suspected Pneumonia and followed by many rounds of antibiotics, she was still struggling with low energy and poor breathing. She was developing side effects to the medications too. The combination had left her unable to work, study and even go out with friends. After the 2^nd visit, where her body was responding to the dialogue and exercises, she reported stopping the car on the way home to cry. She felt she could suddenly breath, more deeply than she had in months. It wasn’t a sudden healing but the start of a process that helped her understand how her body was struggling and where she could best support it. This also included supporting her system with simple exercises when she needed to take medication, minimising the side effects. All this finally gave her the energy to get out, see friends and start working again.

I am passionate about helping people unravel the root cause of puzzling, unresolved health conditions. Our bodies are designed to heal themselves given the right circumstances. When we have a dis-ease it is our body’s way of highlighting a problem.

“Energy is the language the body speaks” – Donna Eden.

By learning the language it speaks means it doesn’t have to scream before we take notice.

TALK TO THE BODY,

LEARN THE LANGUAGE and

REGAIN THAT INNER TRUST AND KNOWING YOU WERE BORN WITH.

My clients are generally women, in their 40s and 50s who have been struggling for years with unresolved, low energy levels. Committing to a regular schedule and appointments is overwhelming, affecting family life and work. It is the first thought they wake up to and the last thought before going to bed. Working to understand the body’s dialogue helps clients shift old patterns. This brings back the energy so they can finally make those commitments to children, partners and work with ease and freedom.
