My new home study course is now available. This much anticipated, superb value package will take you on a transformational journey into the real You of You. This book and its supporting audio presentations are a step by step guide to creating the life of your dreams.

People are often blocked from true success, health and happiness, their life is compromised in some way; perhaps by their past, their upbringing, their conditioning – perhaps they are dancing to someone else’s tune, rather than living a truly authentic existence.

Being Really Grounded

Sun, 05 Dec 2010 21:04:17 +0000

Many of the Life Upgrade students learned about the importance of grounding this year and have been sharing their experiences with others, and so the awareness of what it means to be really grounded is becoming more widespread.

Nourished by the Earth
As well as being barefoot when and where possible, I have been sleeping grounded for quite some time and have noticed many benefits. I always use a grounding mat, or strap, whilst on my computer and for me personally this has made such a big difference to my sense of wellbeing.

I used to feel a little cranky, or drained, if I spent too long sitting in front of a computer, but now I am completely unaffected by EMF. Even through the winter when it is too cold to go barefoot, and when indoors, I am grounded by using the latest technology. This means that I am actually shielded by the Earth's electrical mass, and this connection feels deeply nourishing.

Scientific Research Not Mumbo Jumbo
My natural curiosity and intuitive observations inspired a search for further clarification on what it really means to be grounded, to understand the benefits of our Earth connection and to see what research had been done in this field.

What I had been taught previously and what I saw energetically in people everywhere did not add up. After a great deal of experience and observation I doubted it was really possible to ground the physical body effectively by just 'imaging roots coming out of the soles of the feet, going into the Earth'.

Though this meditative process is widespread it not only doesn't work for many people, it often leaves many feeling that they are somehow doing the process incorrectly, as they get little or no positive effect.

New Technology - Inspiration - Innovation
Meditative processes generally are very valuable to both mind and body, but 'rooting' in this way does not provide the body with an actual electrical connection to the Earth required for the benefits of grounding to be fully experienced, especially the physical benefits.

Of course imagination is the key to everything that comes into being, and so it has taken imagination, inspiration and scientific information to create this great new technology - helping us all make a quick, easy and full connection to the Earth's field regardless of what other distracting energies are prevalent. It is a very practical, modern solution to any number of 21st century problems.

Utilising the Power of the Mind
I remember sometime ago someone told me they had spent a lot of time trying to use the power of their mind to straighten their curly hair. They were dissatisfied with how their hair was naturally and believed that if they focused their mind enough, and changed enough beliefs and perceptions then in time their hair would eventually become straight. Perhaps that's possible, I really don't know - what I do know however is that someone else used the power of their mind, imagination and intelligence and they invented hair straighteners.

Upgrade to a New Grounding Experience
I am so pleased that a greater awareness of what it really means to be grounded is here, along with the scientific research and the actual technology to make it possible, now.

You can read the research here, get your own personal grounding kit and start feeling the benefits of being really grounded!

Dark Times & Tinsel

Fri, 03 Dec 2010 21:04:18 +0000

Remembering
There is something very powerful and special about this time of year; it has many highs and lows, as we look back over the year just passed, and remember those who are no longer with us, though still very much in our hearts.

Special Time
This newsletter comes with a special thought and blessing for those of you, and your friends and family, who are grieving for loved ones at a time when others are celebrating happy news. With so much focus on celebrations, new babies being born, promotions at work and bright opportunities ahead, it is important to take time for those who don't feel so jolly, no matter how hard they try to lift their spirits.

This time is one of increasing darkness for a while, until the light is reborn and the Winter Solstice is celebrated with the Return of the Sun.

A Helping Hand in the Dark
If you, or someone you know has been feeling a little 'dark', then know that this can be due to the time of year and it will pass. Take time to acknowledge the sadness and pain, as in doing so the shadow will fall away and the light will return fully. Know that being in a dark place is only temporary, and if you or someone you love is still experiencing the dark after the 21st then take action steps to help bring them into the light - with fun, socialising and oodles of love, tinsel and chocolate.

No matter what this year's journey has been about, take time to let the light shine in your heart, and out into the hearts of those you love.

Happiness is Contagious

Sun, 14 Nov 2010 18:16:53 +0000

Make it your mission to spend as much time with happy people as possible.

if you have to spend time with people who are not so happy, make sure that you come away feeling bright, and leaving them feeling better.

Your mood is contagious, spread the happy vibes and don't let anyone bring you down.

Goal Setting

Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:16:56 +0000

Goal setting is really dream getting. If you don't set goals then you will never achieve your dreams. The mind works in such a way that you have to focus on what you want; most people focus on what they don't want.

When I got to 40 I realised that I was happier, healthier and had more energy than when I was in my 20s. I set a goal then to have even more energy, vitality, wealth, health and happiness at 60 than at 40. Now that my mind knows what I am looking to achieve it can go about sorting the finer details, like how to make this happen.

Your Goals
What goals are you setting today?
What is the big picture for your life?
What is the next step you need to make today?
What would be in the way of achieving that next step easily?

Set the big goals, and also the smaller goals which focus on making all the little steps required.

Set goals, and then take appropriate action.

Your World - Your Choice
You create your world through your thoughts, intentions and the power you have to imagine yourself achieving your goals. If you don't set goals then it is like going to a restaurant and just sitting there waiting for your favourite meal to arrive, even though when the waitress came to take your order you said that you would just have anything.

Be Specific
If there are specific things which you expect to be delivered, be absolutely clear in asking for what you want. If you leave it up to the Universe you will just get what you usually order, more of what you have already had - which is fine if what you have currently makes you happy, healthy and wealthy - but if not then you need to change your focus, order something new from the menu and be prepared to accept it when it arrives.

Imagine if you were in a restaurant and you had ordered your very favourite thing from the menu, and when it arrives you say 'Oh sorry, I can't possibly have that, I'm just not worth it - I'm not good enough, I don't deserve it!'

You're worth it
Place the order which you really want most of all, something that will satisfy your desires, and when it comes receive it with gratitude.

FEWsteps Programme

Mon, 08 Nov 2010 18:16:57 +0000

The FEWsteps programme is just getting under way. It was initially inspired by those of you who showed an interest in making this winter one in which you felt fitter, healthier and happier than ever before, rather than struggling with the usual winter blues. We decided that it would be a great opportunity for me to share lots of insights and information with you - things I often don't get chance to cover in the course of a weekend's workshop.

There are often many questions about how to keep up momentum through the dark times, and what basic measures you can take on a day-to-day basis to keep yourselves smiling, happy and healthy.

Free
And so if you haven't already decided to get on board with this programme, this is your chance. And it is absolutely free!

The programme is guaranteed to be jam-packed with great tips and tricks that will motivate, inspire and not only keep you fighting fit this winter, it will also get you ready for the best 2011 imaginable. By the time next summer is here you will be so ecstatic about your life that you will be ready to get out there, and live your dreams.

I am already starting to put stuff together on my blog page and on facebook, so this is your chance to join us by taking a FEWsteps.

Positive Living - Talk in Bath

Fri, 05 Nov 2010 18:16:55 +0000

I will be talking to the Positive Living group in Bath on Monday the 29th November.

If anyone would like to attend this event then the details are below.

Cancer Prevention

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 21:38:51 +0100

When I worked as a practitioner I saw many people with cancer. It is a truly awful disease, as anyone knows who has suffered, or who has had loved-ones experience its pain.

What I saw awoke many questions within me, questions that I have pondered and meditated over for the past few years.

Cancer is the leading cause of death in the over 65s, though we know that it does not discriminate and people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures fall victim - and the numbers are increasing all the time.

Some find themselves on a life changing journey of self-discovery and recover fully with a renewed sense of what it means to be alive. Others, we say goodbye to, until next time - and their sad departure stays with us, in our thoughts and memories, our questions left unanswered.

I have spent the last couple of years looking into cancer, researching how it is created and what we can do to prevent it. I realised, having seen so many people who unfortunately left it too late to make the necessary changes, that where possible prevention is really better than cure.

Information Overload
Correct information is vital, but even more importantly: what is understood must be applied if risk is to be reduced. There are so many things to consider and this can feel overwhelming which means that people often do nothing, as they don't know where to start.

Incorporating lifestyle changes which affect mind, body and spirit, taking into consideration important environmental influences - introduced and acted upon step by step, bit by bit, small bite size pieces at a time - will eventually make up a whole change in overall health and well-being.

New Understanding
The old paradigm of eat healthily, get some exercise and keep yourself in balance to live long and prosper is no longer enough. I have seen people who have lived by this basic philosophy and they have still died as a result of chemical poisons.

Many of the toxins which are accumulating within the body have only been around for the last 50 years or less. We need radical action, revised methodology, new understanding and to incorporate this as a lifestyle if we are to live to be healthy and vibrant as we age.

Sharing
I will be including more of this information into all the classes I teach. Life upgrade is a powerful detoxification program, which as we and others are exploring further, is able to assist in making fundamental changes in how we store data and accumulate toxicity at a cellular level.

Empowering
There is so much information which I am ready to share and we will be finding new, interesting and fun ways to bring this information to you. Our intent is to bring you the most cutting edge information in a way that you can make use of in your day-to-day life, empowering you to take care of your own health.

Water

A Basic but Essential first step

Drink water, spring if possible, filtered at worst.
Not tap water. Avoid plastic bottles, drink from glass.

Make this the first step - Upgrade your water. Buy a filter, visit a natural spring, buy a glass container - whatever is the next step for you.

Put this in place today and make the necessary changes, perhaps put post-it notes up to remind yourself to drink if your memory isn't so good, just until this becomes a new, natural habit.

New Habits - New You
Making small but essential changes to everyday habits will go a long way to helping you live free from disease. One step at a time, day by day, as you focus on the direction you want to go in, you can create great health for yourself and your family.

Go drink some beneficial water now! :)

Immune System Booster

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 21:38:52 +0100

I have just collected, dried and stored away rose hips for the winter.

All rose hips are edible and are a powerful storehouses of Vitamin C and other important nutrients.

Compared to an orange, rose hips contain 25% more iron, 20-40% more Vitamin C (depending upon variety), 25 times more Vitamin A, and 28% more calcium. Rose hips are a rich source of bioflavanoids, pectin, Vitamin E, selenium, manganese, and B-complex vitamins, they also contain trace amounts of magnesium, potassium, sulfur and silicon - a true superfood, and free!

Tasty Tip
You can dry rose hips on a tray for a couple of weeks, until completely dry. Then store them in an amber jar, or in a darkish cupboard. You can make tea with them. Be inspired and mix them with other things you like. I just ground ours into a powder which I will spoon into smoothies and other foods to give us a boost over the winter months. Better than any over the counter vitamin C supplement.

Empower yourself - take responsibility for your own health.

Seasonal Changes

Sat, 25 Sep 2010 21:38:53 +0100

The leaves on the trees are starting to turn, the Autumn Equinox is here. The colours are so beautiful, every shade of red, orange and gold will soon be seen across the landscape. A time to reflect on what you have created in your own life - over this summer period of growth and development.

Get in the Flow

Let the colours of the trees awaken your imagination to what is possible. See how quickly things change, and how transformation occurs easily when things are allowed to flow in their own natural rhythm, the powerful ebb and flow, the endless cycles of regeneration.

How balanced and in the flow are you right now?

What are the fruits of your labour?

What have you harvested recently?

Will all that you nurtured, ripened and picked from life's bountiful tree, see you through the coming winter months, as the journey within begins?

What else might you need?

Are there extra resources that you could squirrel away now that will make the winter easier?

All of your thoughts, like seeds in your mind, grow and create the reality that you find yourself in.

Set a clear intention about what you require, and take action to get these things in place.

What will you continue to grow in the garden of your mind that will benefit you most?

What do you wish you had weeded out right at the start?
No matter how big, it is never too late to pull a weed!

Change
There is nothing that you cannot change, as life changes constantly. There is nothing that you cannot do, as you are a powerful creative being. There is nothing holding you back other than a lack of imagination, and perhaps worries and fears - tripping you up and getting in the way.

Do you think the leaf is fearful as it changes from green to brown?

These natural cycles are without fear, they find a perfect balance by truly being One with everything else. There is innate trust, wisdom, knowledge and intelligence, way beyond what human beings experience when they live in fear, doubt and self limitation - get connected to nature and feel truly alive and aligned.

Dream
Take a leaf out of the tree's book, let yourself transform gently, and without fear. You may not know what will happen next but if you colour your dreams with a little imagination, you can trust that great things will come into being.

Equinox Wishes
Oh and of course, don't forget to take a walk in nature at this time, especially when the leaves begin to fall. The inner child likes nothing better than catching a falling leaf and making an equinox wish.

Enjoy this special time.

Be a Clear Channel

A fun packed, experiential journey into your deepest wisdom and innate knowing.

New Audio - Deep Cellular Change

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 12:45:45 +0100

I just can't get enough of this new 3 part audio series. Though I have already listened to it many times, I sense that I have not finished with it yet and have been amazed how much deep cellular change is occurring.

My initial intention was to create something that would dig deep into the cells of the body and release anything that was no longer needed and could potentially be toxic and creating poor health at a time when it is essential that we elevate consciousness and increase wellbeing. When I channelled it I was so amazed by the metaphor given to the subconscious mind that my own understanding of living within the Field was taken to a whole new level.

The Life Upgrade course helps to put all this insight together, creating a new way of being by shifting the mind, body and spirit into a more intelligent field of awareness. This audio presentation can be a very important step on this path for those who have not yet 'Upgraded', or can be used as an amazing tool for assisting increased health and wellbeing both individually, and collectively for those working to Upgrade the whole.

All in all, an important step at this time and one I am taking time to indulge in regularly.

New Audio - Being in the Flow

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 12:45:46 +0100

This 4 part audio series called “Being In The Flow” has been designed to help you move beyond limiting patterns of behaviour and thinking, and on into a bigger, brighter arena - where life flows with ease and you find yourself in the right place at the right time.

This audio series is beautifully relaxing, insightful, and transformational at a very deep level - calling you home to yourself, opening you up to the true flow of your life, inspiring a new way of being.

You can listen to a sample online, and the audio series is available as a download or on CD.

Evolution made easy

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 12:45:47 +0100

It seems to at last be common knowledge that the patterns held deep within the subconscious mind are responsible for habits and behaviours which can be difficult to change. Though many agree with this, it can still be difficult to access this deep rooted information as it often lies beneath conscious awareness, and therefore beyond conscious control.

All of the audio presentations I create are channelled with this in mind and with the understanding of how to access this information and move beyond it. In a busy world, where there is often very little time to relax and unwind, channelled audio meditations such as these can be a perfect remedy for a variety of issues and complex behaviours which could be limiting the true enjoyment and fulfilment of life.

There is nothing more you have to do than give yourself a little quiet time to listen - you are worth it after all! Many people put their audio meditations on when they go to bed at night. Even though you will probably fall asleep whilst listening, the subconscious mind will make effective use of all the guidance and insights given, as the subconscious is always listening.

These powerful guided meditations are written in the language of the subconscious and can facilitate deep and lasting change. Repetition is the key, as you get into a new habit - listening to them over and over - the subconscious mind will use all the metaphor, imagery and new ideas to create a new neural net of information, inspiring lasting change, and improved health and wellbeing.

Stress, anxiety and depression cannot coexist with deep relaxation, and through regular listening these audio presentations will teach you how to be more relaxed - relaxing the mind, quieting everything down and reaching a new level of awareness deep within yourself. This new level of awareness can show up in so many ways, as once deep relaxation occurs, real lasting change is possible - the mind shifts from being caught up in old patterns to instead being able to receive insights, clarity and understanding, as well as feeling able to let go of the old and embrace something new without fear, or resistance.

All in all, if you wish to make noticeable, incremental, evolutionary steps within consciousness, then guided meditations such as these, and the energy transmission they hold, are the key to your personal transformation at this time. Nothing could be simpler, relax back and enjoy a few quiet moments - no effort required.

So much new stuff to share!

Sat, 21 Aug 2010 12:45:48 +0100

The Summer is such an abundant time. I have been overflowing with creativity, and channelling it into new material to share with you throughout Autumn, Winter and on into next year.

With the release of two brand new audio series, a new psychic development/channelling course, and the anticipated collaboration of myself and Kate Magic of Raw Living, there is plenty to get stuck into for mind, body and spirit over the next few months.

We look forward to sharing these further journeys with you and inspiring you to continue to increase the vibration of your life, and your body, at this time of great expansion and global transformation.

Being the true authentic you is all you really have to do. Evolution occurs naturally as you let go of all that you are not and gain access to a clearer, lighter field of intelligence which supports you to show up and shine brightly.

Presence

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 18:14:16 +0100

I absolutely love watching the ease with which people have changed using Life Upgrade. We are halfway through the year already and it has been a phenomenal time so far. Simply being present is the key, but it can be difficult to be present when there is all that background noise going on.

The background noise consists of so much out of date information, memories from the past playing as if they are still relevant to the present moment, both your own memories and those held as part of the collective consciousness. It can be both the voice of your inner critic, as well as the voices echoing from the depths of your family history.

I have always called this stuff 'monkey chatter'.

It can be a constant distraction to many, and often tries to take over your life, pretending to know what's best - thinking it's some kind of authority, or guide.

Often the language it uses can feel overbearing, judgemental, criticising.

At other times it can seem damn right rude, it can insult you and tell you you will never make anything of yourself. It is the inner voice that says you're too thin, or too fat, or purple & black.

Whatever it says and whatever you feel, one thing's for sure: if you listen to it you will never create the life of your dreams, and you will never be completely healthy, happy and well.

This voice, the internal dialogue of the subconscious mind, often streams unchecked and unchallenged, its scream can be constant.

Our most dominant thoughts create our reality, and yet we only consciously choose a small percentage of what we think, the rest of it is 'monkey chatter' - no wonder life shows up the way it does sometimes.

So -
What have you been thinking about today?
What are your most dominant thoughts?
What chatter goes on unchecked in the background?

These might be the thoughts creating your reality.

If you are not yet where you want it to be, doing what you want to do, then there is one very simple answer to it all: being present, and getting into the flow.

It sounds so simple, and it is, but it takes shifting to a new way of being to make it your everyday living reality.

This transformation, with Life Upgrade, takes just 3 days.

Life Upgrade is so much fun, and if you are bored of all that background noise, then it's time to tune into a new station, receive some new information, and resonate at a new frequency.

Presence is the Key. Flowing is allowing presence to be.

Having a clear mind is essential. How else will you be able to use the creative power within you you to manifest your dreams?

Otherwise it is like trying to paint on a canvas that has already been painted on a thousand times before - it just looks like a mess. Clear your mind first, and only entertain the thoughts that paint the canvas of your mind with the shapes and colours you really wish to see.

Happy Words Expressed

Sat, 17 Jul 2010 18:14:13 +0100

I was touched to receive this in an email from Angela C. after the Expanded course:

"These were 3 of my happiest days of my life to be with like minded people and to discover that my gifts are easier to access than I thought. Fear and support was the only thing stopping me. Once I got rid of fear and had the support of Tracy and of course all my new friends on the course I had a massive breakthrough, no going back for me now.

"I cannot express the happiness in my heart that is overflowing ... I know now that I will make a difference in peoples lives by just being myself. How good and easy is that!"

Bubbling Pot of Potentiality

Sun, 23 May 2010 23:53:04 +0100

I often use the analogy of a 'bubbling pot' when talking about our potential to create reality.

It would seem that often people spend a lot of time and energy stirring the pot, perhaps worried, concerned, efforting to get things right.

When I ask the question "Well, what's cooking?", often they don't know. I will say "So did you set out with a certain idea in mind, a recipe of what you wish to create here, a soup, a cake, a delicious main course?" The answer invariably comes back "No, I have been too busy stirring to think about that!"

Being the head-chef in your own metaphorical kitchen of life, will help you serve up nourishing and sustainable goodness for you, and your family to enjoy.

Being a great chef takes practice, and experimentation. A great chef will learn basic skills first and then develop them. A chef will use intuitive knowing, as well as experience, to prepare a fantastic meal.

There will be a plan, menu or recipe to follow, a gathering of all the right equipment, preparation of ingredients, and of course, insight, experience and know-how - built over time and through continual practice. Knowing when a dish simply doesn't work and letting it go, putting it down to experience.

Eventually, the chef doesn't even think about the equipment, the recipe, or the experiences they've had and all the know-how acquired - it's just there to hand, and preparing great food becomes easy, automatic.

So, when creating your life, decide first what it is you would like to see served on the plate, and then ask yourself -

Do I have all the necessary equipment to hand now?
Do I have all the required skills and experience yet?
Do I have the ingredients?
Do I know what I need to do to prepare for this?

Once you are ready, and there is no hurry in completing any of these stages, just take your time, then -

Do you 'intuitively know' when to stir the pot, when to let it bubble, and when to admit defeat and start again from scratch? Knowing that every small experience adds to your overall experience.

Make sure you taste what you are creating, and if it isn't to your liking, then change it. This is where you can experiment - 'a little of this, a touch of that' - let your taste buds, your senses, your intuition, guide your potential to create the most amazing feast.

Think of creating reality in the same way as learning to serve up delicious food. Take your time to experiment with your tastes, your likes and dislikes. As you practice observing yourself in the metaphorical kitchen of life - how are you doing?

Does it all get too hot, and intense?
Or are you endlessly stirring the pot without seeing any change?
Do you know what it's meant to look like?
Has your sauce gone lumpy, but you're too stubborn to start again?
Or did you forget to stir, and now the smell of the burnt pan wafts through the air?

What is the kitchen metaphor which best describes your life right now?

One Person's Experience

Wed, 19 May 2010 23:53:05 +0100

After a recent Life Upgrade Foundation course, one of the attendees wrote of their experience and emailed it to me to share with you. I would like to thank her very much for taking the time to do this. I was touched by what she wrote, and also I know that you all enjoy hearing people's feedback. This is what she wrote:

This is the most enjoyable, empowering and authentic course in which I have ever participated.

It was a real privilege and is also the answer to a long held dream, as I have spent many years, many thousands of £££s and many air miles travelling to far flung reaches of the globe in search of 'it'.

So the sense of relief at arriving HERE is huge.

...

Re: Tracy's approach and teaching style -

I really liked Tracy’s whole approach and teaching style, so I wrote a few words about how that came across for me at the weekend -

I find Tracy to be an engaging and excellent teacher, as well as a gifted practitioner –with the ability to facilitate real change in people.

I was impressed with her compassion and empathy and her ability to be truly present for everyone.

No question was too trivial and received her fullest consideration. Every person benefited from her most whole and patient attention until resolution and transition occurred for them.

It was graceful, inspiring and gentle.

Put simply - CHANGE HAPPENS around Tracy and this is surely the ‘gold standard’ for a course 'guaranteeing a shift'. It’s where the ‘rubber meets the road’, so to speak.

In my case, just being able to attend the full course for 3 whole days in a row was a ‘miracle’.

The seemingly impossible becomes possible in her presence – doors open, paths clear, ‘things’ come together and lives change forever.

Tracy is rarer still in that she uses her skills, knowledge and insights to empower her students to empower themselves to make their own change.

We became able to see for ourselves, perhaps for the first time, the immensity of what is possible for us as individuals and, by extension, for everyone.

We took away practical tools to be put to good effect immediately, and used confidently - right now.

I also think she did really well to explain an entirely new concept, or ‘way of being’, in only 3 days AND make it fun in the process!

I consider Tracy to be a gifted facilitator, a compassionate visionary and an innovator in her field.

She has had the confidence to step outside the current paradigm of human beliefs and thought, to explore the unknown with a keen and pioneering curiosity and has brought back practical, life changing and inspiring gifts for everyone.

She has also had the good grace to present them in a simple and accessible way - thank you!

Spring clean with supergreens

Sun, 16 May 2010 12:23:19 +0100

If you have ever looked at a bright green drink and thought, yuk, then I would like to set you a spring clean, supergreen challenge. If you have ever looked at a bright green drink and thought “that looks yummy and full of goodness”, but have never let one pass your lips then you too can take the challenge and let me know how you get on.

All you need is a blender, the thing that goes zuizzz.
Take some pineapple (tinned organic is fine if you can't get fresh and ripe)
A handful or two of organic spinach
(you can increase the amount over time, to your acquired taste)
Add enough water to get it to blend, and to your taste.
And zuizz in the blender until scrummy with no bits - this will depend on how good your blender is.
Pour into your finest glass, and enjoy through a straw, with optional umbrella.
Delicious and sweet!

Energy drinks like this are so easy to make and are so good for you. As well as detoxing your system they will fill you with energy - believe me you will love this little baby.

For a variation use mango instead of pineapple or lambs lettuce instead of spinach.

Avoid mixing too many different colours together. As with painting, if you mix your pallet too much you end up with brown sludge. So leave the strawberries out of this one. You can have those blended with bananas and other berries for a pink or purple berry delight - yum.

With this little beauty you will not only easily be getting your 5 a day, you will be slim, youthful and energised if you incorporate them as part of your healthy lifestyle. Who says looking good and feeling great is hard work - take the challenge and feel a spring clean inside and out, as well as a spring in your step.

Questions to Answer

Tue, 11 May 2010 12:23:20 +0100

I was contacted this week by a magazine who are interested in finding out more about Life Upgrade. I realised that it's a bit like watching the TV or listening to the radio - easy to do but not so easy to explain when someone asks you how it works. When sitting watching the TV or enjoying the radio, how it works seems somehow unimportant. It is the actual experience that counts.

Anyway, I answered some questions as best I could and have put what I wrote on our new micro-site for you to see:

"Best course of my life!"

Thu, 06 May 2010 12:23:21 +0100

We have had a few couples attending the Life Upgrade course, and we've also seen a rise in the numbers of people booking their partners to attend upcoming training. A shared journey indeed. We have continued to receive great feedback from all those attending, and the feedback I like the best is that which comes in the post or via email, weeks after the course.

This feedback is from a lovely couple who attended the Foundation course and who would like to share their comments with you, to inspire and uplift.

Kevin says -

“I initially attended Life Upgrade on the strength of testimonials and past courses. I am very glad that I did so, because Life Upgrade is beyond words.

“Tracy Holloway has transformed herself as well as what she teachers and I feel privileged to be introduced to and be part of this leading edge material.”

Kevin's lovely wife Saiya says -

“This is the best course I've ever been to in my life!
Love it. Thank you.”

Thought for the day

Wed, 21 Apr 2010 12:16:09 +0100

When people pay attention to their inner world and allow themselves to find a peaceful space, then the outer world just flows.

Shifting consciousness

Wed, 14 Apr 2010 18:22:37 +0100

Being happy and healthy is essential. Moving into a new way of thinking means that the old way of doing things just doesn’t work any more. Many people work on changing the way they think in order to change the way they feel and then they wonder why their physical health is worse. Those of you working in the holistic field know that the mind is not separate from the body and yet when it comes to change and transformation the mind is mercurial and consciously changes quickly, whilst the old subconscious habits which are ‘stuck’ hold energy and toxicity within the physical body and can be harder to remove.

The mind can know without doubt that the food eaten will leave the body feeling bloated, tired and overwhelmed, but still the auto-response says eat, and so you do.

As your awareness shifts and changes, and all the new insights which guide your life integrate and consciousness expands, the physical body struggles more and more to keep up. As your consciousness changes and your vibration becomes lighter the foods you eat feel denser.

Many people are finding themselves in a quandary, the body feels heavy and often toxic. The result of this is sickness and disease. The mind is conscious of the need for change and the information available has never been more accessible, and yet the choices can be hard to make as the habits run deep. But more than that, the Upgrade to super-consciousness is not done through mind alone – the body has to make its transformational journey too and will do so through super/living foods.

Moment by moment, step by step, choices are being made which either tie you to the past or awaken you to the Super Being you are.

As the consciousness of humanity shifts, chocolate is most certainly on the agenda, but as with many things within this Great Shift, not everything is quite how it seems, not everything you believed to be true is so, and not everything you will learn along the way has to be hard or traumatic, or emotionally challenging.

Some changes are made difficult due to lack of knowledge or limited perspective. As the mind finds greater knowledge and changes its perspective so the body will follow.

A new mind is on the horizon, it is intelligent, powerful, inspired and creative, it lives consciously and because of this it intuitively knows how to make choices which keeps its body healthy, fit and strong. The new mind seeks a new way of thinking, which creates a new way of being. The new mind, and its new energised body, creates the most vibrant and sustainable vessel through which the true Divine self can shine out.

A great shift in humanity's consciousness is taking place through the tiny conscious choices you make on a moment by moment basis. Choose to do things differently, because you know it makes intuitive sense.

Chocolate choices

Mon, 12 Apr 2010 18:20:14 +0100

There is always a way of upgrading your life when you open up to making new, different and inspired choices. This forms new healthy habits for the future you, the happy you – full of energy and vitality.

Remember, if you keep doing things the same way then you will always get the same results. If you want different results then you have to make different choices – fact.

Making different choices with regards to food can be absolutely transformational and yet people are often stuck in habits, because of automatic subconscious responses, which make them eat the same old stuff, even when they know intuitively that their body does not necessarily respond well.

Breaking free from old, out-dated subconscious programs has never been more important, and when it comes to food there are endless opportunities to reprogram and start making positive choices, which will inevitably result in more energy, vitality and improved health.

Often people make the choice to deny themselves the things that they believe they shouldn’t have - setting up a cycle of self-denial, failure and guilt. There are so many choices which you can make which will help you live free from guilt and be successful in achieving your goals, whilst allowing yourself greater health benefits and increasing energy.

Energy Boost

Sat, 10 Apr 2010 18:17:35 +0100

Many people feel that they don’t have enough energy to do all the things they need, or want to do. Many people find that they rely on sugar and caffeine to stimulate their energy levels only to find themselves on a roller-coaster of ups and downs.

I love superfoods as they are so energising, and cacao, raw chocolate is my all time favourite. A food of the gods, for all you gods and goddesses. Making conscious food choices which optimise health, promote well-being, increase stamina, energy and vitality makes effortless healthy living sustainable.

Many people crave chocolate, they intuitively know that chocolate is good for them, but rather than eating this healthy gift as nature intended, we’ve been duped. We’ve had our healthy raw cacao taken away and instead we’ve been sold a sugary, over-processed alternative which has no health benefits at all.

If you want more energy eat raw cacao.
As a powerful sources of magnesium it will help keep you alert and active whilst elevating your mood. Magnesium is one of the most deficient minerals in the human body and eating cacao sure beats taking all those supplements – and is much more fun.

A lack of magnesium can leave people feeling sluggish, agitated and stressed.
As well as magnesium, and many other minerals, raw chocolate also contains tryptophan – an essential amino acid – which helps naturally produce serotonin. This will not only boost your mood and help you feel good, it makes life flow better and leaves you feeling energised and in control, rather than tired and overwhelmed. It can also help regulate sleep.

Making your own cacao chocolate is almost as easy as making a cup of tea. Do it once and you will want to do it again and again. This will soon form a new healthy and happy habit within your subconscious mind - taking the place of some of those less healthy patterns and habits.

Healthy Chocolate

Thu, 08 Apr 2010 18:13:54 +0100

It isn’t just children who love chocolate, it is a great favourite of adults too. People love it, perhaps women more than men, particularly at that special time of the month.

So, why is it that chocolate is responsible for so much inner anxiety, stress and emotional turmoil?

Why do so many people battle with their thoughts and feeling about chocolate?

Why is it that so many people feel such and uncontrollable urge for it, which they either deny, or succumb to and then feel guilty?

The answer to these questions and so much more, is in the chocolate choices we make. We are surrounded by these colourful wrappers and bombarded with clever marketing which invites us to savour the delights of chocolate. It’s a multi-million dollar industry and one which we have been brainwashed to have guilty pleasure in.

However, real chocolate called cacao (pronounced ka-cow) is so tasty and incredibly good for you that you can eat it everyday without guilt. Yes ladies, I did just say that you can eat this amazing choc everyday - in fact I highly recommend it!

I am not in anyway talking about those choc bars that you see in the shops, those ones that shout at you from the shelves all day, everyday, everywhere. Not that over processed, sugary, fatty gack - there is nothing healthy about that chocolate at all, no matter how beautifully they wrap it or how cleverly they market it.

I am talking about the real stuff – Raw Cacao.
It has the highest antioxidant value of all the natural foods in the world. When it comes to supplying your body with effective antioxidants, no other natural food can even come close. The antioxidants in cacao are easily absorbed by the human body, and are more stable and long-lasting than those in any other foods. Cacao is a good source of magnesium, calcium, sulphur, iron, copper, zinc, potassium, manganese, as well as some B vitamins.

To think, you can have all that scrumptious pleasure as part of a healthy lifestyle and at last let go completely of all those emotional highs and lows.

Chocolate Cupcake recipe

Sat, 03 Apr 2010 18:25:19 +0100

Many of you have asked me for recipes, particularly easy cacao/raw chocolate ones which will keep you buzzing and energised. Here's the recipe for the Chocolate Cupcakes I brought to the recent Life Upgrade class. I know you will enjoy making them as much as you enjoy eating them. Share with those you love, especially yourself.

Chocolate Cupcake recipe (yum!)

Makes 12 mini cupcakes

1 1/2 cups raw walnuts
Pinch salt
8 pitted medjool dates
1/3 cup raw cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon filtered water</list>

Whiz walnuts and salt into food processor until finely ground
Add the dates and process until the mixture begins to stick together.
Add the cacao powder, vanilla extract, tiny bit of water and process until all gooey.

Take bits of mixture and squidge into cupcake case.
(I use those re-usable silicone cupcake cases / anything will do)

Choc Topping

1/2 cup dark agave syrup or maple syrup (less or more depending on your taste)
3/4 cup raw cacao powder
1/3 cup virgin coconut oil, melted
Pinch salt

Put coconut oil in a little dish and stand dish in hot water until it melts.
Mix all ingredients together either using a spoon or blender.

Spread choc topping on each cupcake. Decorate with a little piece of date or walnut if you fancy.

Chill the mini cupcakes in the fridge for a while (30mins plus) - whilst licking the bowl, spoon and eating any leftover topping!

Happy Easter

Fri, 02 Apr 2010 18:11:21 +0100

The egg, the symbol of new life. At this time of year new life is springing up everywhere. The daffodils are finally out, there are lambs in the fields, and at the Nurtons last weekend I saw the first of the duck eggs.

We have an annual Easter egg hunt here at Magic Cottage. It is always so much fun and quite chaotic. After all the children have arrived it is the job of one adult to sneak off, to the end of the track, and place the empty basket there for the children to find. Once in place, another adult suggests that perhaps the Easter Bunny is in the area, and that the only way to know for sure is to take a walk through the woods to see if there is a basket anywhere. All the children then go off in search of Bunny’s empty basket, a sign that the eggs have been delivered.

The empty basket, strategically placed at the end of a track, has to be picked up by the children before the eggs ‘appear’ – it’s Bunny magic of course!

The children are escorted by a few adults, whose pockets are full of shiny chocolate eggs, the children are told to keep their eyes peeled along the way to see if they can spot either the bunny or the eggs, but of course there aren’t any eggs, as they don’t appear until the basket is in their hands – this is how Bunny magic works!

The adults who are walking with them discreetly throw the shiny eggs behind them as they walk, whilst the children look ahead in anticipation!

It is amazing how quickly the children get to the end of the track and find that empty basket, and in that time the rest of the adults are running around the garden and woods of Magic Cottage hiding eggs in all kinds of nooks and crannies – it’s hilarious.

As we hear the children coming back we frantically throw the last few eggs on the ground and act normally, as if nothing has happened and try not to look too out of breath!

They arrive excitedly, with calls of -
‘The bunny's been’,
‘We've found the basket’,
‘The eggs started to appear along the track as soon as we held the basket!’
Everywhere they look now they can see the shiny eggs and the further adventure begins.

How many are there?
How will they know when they’ve got them all?
What if there is just one more hiding?
They look a little harder, for a little longer and even the very last one is found.

All the eggs are put into the basket, they have to be returned before they can be shared. The children love to count them and share them out. Bunny Magic says that the more you share, the more you get, and so you can eat one or two along the way but the more you get into the basket, the more you will have, and the more you will take home with you at the end of the day.

Chocolate heaven

Sat, 27 Mar 2010 19:12:41 +0000

In yesterdays class, students were discussing the endless battle of having to deny oneself chocolate, you know how it is when you 'need' to be pure and yet your body is screaming out for a trip to chocolate heaven!

I began to tell them all about cacao, which is real raw chocolate which tastes fab and is really good for you - it is full of antioxidants and makes you buzz blissfully. Most of them had never heard of it and so I said I'd take some in today to get their taste buds tingling.

So last night I made delicious chocolate muffins, made from all raw ingredients and I took them into class for afternoon tea. The response was immense - they loved it.

I realise that we are changing consciousness one chocolate muffin at a time!
Yum yum - I love positive transformation which includes chocolate :)

Rave Reviews

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:28:55 +0000

We have had such fantastic feedback from those who attended the recent Life Upgrade training and there are now many attendees wishing to share their thoughts and feelings with you. We have posted some of their feedback on our website and also one here just to get you inspired:

“Ever since I can remember I've asked questions about how 'it' all works: the universe, our role within it, our human beingness. And until I did Life Upgrade I found partial answers. After having done Tracy's course and read her book, I now 'know' in a way that no other course, book or teacher has shown.

“The simplicity yet profoundness of the Life Upgrade course has left me with a sense of peace and contentment, and most importantly tools that I will have forever which can only make life even better. Tracy's teaching style is engaging, fun and you can tell that the information comes from a really pure place. It's an opportunity of a lifetime to do Life Upgrade because you get to be in complete control of your life afterwards, what a gift!”

Chinese New Year

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 14:03:47 +0000

2010 is the year of the Tiger. I am fortunate to have many Tigers in my life including my wonderful husband, Seb. So, I am looking forward to what this year has to offer, as with all years.

Isn’t it always the way though, with all things mystical, that there is always someone with ‘wise words and bad omens’ who could dampen your otherwise good spirits.

I picked up a magazine to browse whilst waiting for a friend, the title caught my eye offering new year predictions for the Tiger. That’s my husband I thought, I wonder what it says, what insight can I gain?

Oh no, I read, the Tiger doesn’t like me. I was born in the wrong year. I was born the wrong animal. What a disaster. The year ahead is doomed. My marriage will be in tatters, it's written as clear as anything, we are completely incompatible, even though until now we’ve been getting on so well. It is written as clear as day, in print so it must be true, written in the stars and read by Chinese mystics – we should avoid each other, nothing good can come from us being together. Warning - keep your distance, it says.

I giggled to myself, a deep sense of knowing within me. A sense that says ‘Well that’s not me and my Tiger!’ Who writes this stuff. What baloney!

Discernment is such a wonderful thing. To know, and trust what one knows, and to let all else fall away. Discernment is one of the keys to happiness and at the foundation of a successful life, it is well worth harvesting.

I put the magazine back, amused by such ‘fortune telling’ - thankfully I have no further thoughts or feelings about what was said. Except it did leave me wondering how different I might have felt if I did not have the necessary discernment to disregard such suggestions. How easy it might have been for me to take on this tale as my own and become the victim of my own self fulfilled prophecy, based on inaccurate or misguided information. How perhaps in many ways we are unconsciously shaping reality based on what we see, read and hear without the necessary filter in place, without discernment.

There is so much information out there, so many opinions, ideas and potential for discussion. It can be so easy to be swept along by the breeze and separated from one's true essence, one's self.

Knowing yourself, tuning into who you are, and being unaffected by the worries, fear and projected perceptions of others is essential, whether these projections are from well meaning friends and family members, or the greater world around.

Being unaffected by the barrage of negative input, and instead remaining centred and balanced will keep you strong in both mind and body. Strength comes from not doubting, not giving your power away to fear or uncertainty, and instead trusting completely in what you innately know to be true.

The more discernment you have, the more tuned into your inner knowing you will become. Flowing with your knowing will always bring good fortune and happiness regardless of what Chinese animal or star sign you are. The inner knowing within you is the greatest mystic of all, and knows exactly how to guide your life to be everything you dream of. Tune into yourself and guide your own life.

This year is Your year, regardless of any mystical readings or ancient insights. It is your year to shine bright. Have the discernment to disregard anything which tells you otherwise.

I am certainly going to have the best year ever, and I invite you to have the best year ever too.

Blessings for all that you are and all that you allow yourself to express, may it be a greater expression of truth and happiness than ever before. May your light shine bright, your body beam with health and vitality, and your world be abundant, as you share your many blessing with all those you meet.

Think yourself well

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 11:58:02 +0000

Your thoughts create your body moment by moment. Within each moment there exists an opportunity to think powerful positive thoughts which will supercharge the systems of your body, boosting you at all levels.

Becoming aware of the power your mind has over your body makes it possible for you to become your body's own health and fitness coach. The words you speak to yourself, the thoughts you entertain and the images you let play out in your mind are all instructing your body how to show up.

How are you coaching your physical health currently?

Do you focus on the problem, the ache, the pain, the low energy?

Are you always looking for the next physical complaint to show up?

How you think about your physical health is creating it now, perhaps keeping it stuck in old patterns from way back. The power of this very moment is with you and you can instantly change your biology and your genetics, just by changing your thoughts - remember be consistent.

Switch every negative thought around. Affirm the very best for yourself in the present tense and start coaching yourself to optimal health. The body can only show up in ways the mind can imagine.

Are you imagining the best or the worst health for yourself?

Let your mind set the standard for your body to achieve.

Use the power of your daydreams to initiate change.

Food and Exercise

If you want to get more exercise then start by daydreaming about enjoying exercise and if you are consistent with it and generate positive feeling responses, then before you know it you will be exercising and enjoying it for real – without effort.

If you want to eat more healthily then daydream, fantasise about eating lovely healthy foods, get those brain chemicals buzzing and soon enough you will be inspired to make those healthy choices.

Generating the necessary imagery and thoughts, to start the chemical responses, will inspire you effortlessly into action.

Eating the wrong food and feeling guilty just doesn't work, it keeps you in the loop. Not getting enough exercise is yet another negative loop which creates more self loathing and self sabotage. That's the past, that's yesterday, it's gone. Today is brand new, and it's sparkling for you.

Lift your mind to new heights and your body will follow.

You are what you think you are.

Think yourself healthy by imagining all sorts of ways to be healthy.

Swap the snacks, biscuits and chocolates for fruit, nuts and seeds.

And place inspiring pictures around your space, and on your desktop. Perhaps pictures of healthy food & drink, spring walks in nature, summer beaches and beautiful bodies. Whatever inspires you to feel good. And rather than thinking that it is unobtainable, change your thoughts and know that anything is achievable when you let your own mind coach you to success.

New courses

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 23:22:43 +0000

I am really excited about the new course material and I know that you will love it. As you know I like to keep things simple whilst also pushing the boundaries of what is believed to be possible. Life Upgrade brings simplicity of being to everyday life, whilst showing you how to create the necessary space within you to finally access and fulfil your true potential.

The Foundation, is a completely fresh start. If you have ever had an old room or house in need of decorating, naff old wallpaper, scuffed skirting boards, stained carpet etc and you’ve ripped the whole lot out, sanded the floors, painted the walls and made everything fresh and new, then you know how good that feels. And if you’ve ever thought ‘I wish I could do the same to my mind and the rest of my life’ – then this course is for you!

It’s a new decade, lets get it off to a good start and rather than looking at what needs to be done and feeling overwhelmed, let’s get stuck in, clear a bright new space and create the necessary foundation to the new 2010 You. This course will inspire you to look at yourself and your life from a whole new perspective - freeing you from the past, and any limitations imposed by patterns of self sabotage.

Generally speaking, stress, anxiety and depression all have an impact on the health of the physical body, and on the mind’s ability to create reality. It is an innate requirement for each person to live authentically, meaning ‘true to who they really are’, and yet often people feel restricted and unable to allow their true nature to be seen or expressed. This endless and often habitual need to enforce control over the expression of the Divine self, leaves many feeling dissatisfied, disillusioned and living without integrity. For many it just doesn’t seem possible to simply Be.

Holding the power of ones own Divine light in such a small space is like squeezing the essence of ‘who you really are’ into a jam jar and tightly closing the lid. It may still be possible to see the light, but it does not have the space required to express its full power and magnificent beauty. Is it any wonder that people can feel sad, confused, misunderstood, cut off, small and insignificant – is it any wonder that the body can feel exhausted, or become unwell.

Many of the patterns of lack and scarcity stem from the soul’s innate wisdom crying out for more, more space, more expression of truth within that space. And as the mind tries to offer solutions, by creating reality, it imprints the experience into existence in ways in which we observe – e.g. life feels hard without money, or without love, or without the necessary support.

Space is required, clear, bright shiny space, a place in which the soul can play and experience itself and express its many wonders.

I use to think that it seemed unfortunate that people weren’t given a ‘user manual’ with their mind, so that they could know how to use it effectively, and create the space in reality that their soul requires to sustain the physical body through joy and happiness. I have now written a ‘user manual’ and the new courses guide you through how to do this and more. I have created new ‘software’ which gives the mind the information and resources it needs to get back to what it innately knows how to do. This system is a ‘Life Upgrade’, and creates for you a whole new way of being!
