The Angelsword story
Angelsword Health Centre came into being in January 2001. It’s predecessor was a home based Practice which had rapidly expanded and was literally “bursting at the seams”. Cars were often gridlocked in the small parking area, the bottles of herbs had been relegated to under the examination couch, all available space in the original cupboard set aside for supplements was occupied, and new additions had taken up residence on kitchen shelves.
It was a difficult decision choosing a name for the new Practice. As it happened I was reading the book “Bush Flower Healing” by Ian White at the time and I came across Angelsword.
The following paraphrases Ian’s observations: Angelsword is a native to all states of Australia. It is drought and frost tolerant and is often found in subalpine forest. It prefers light soil and an open sunny position. Viewed from one aspect the purple Angelsword flower is sword shaped like a Fleur de Lis, from the opposite way it resembles a Merlin like monk in purple robes. The image is accentuated by the yellow stamen marking the third eye area. Angelsword brings out and enhances the quality of discernment, allowing a person to cut through with the spiritual sword of discernment to find what is their own spiritual truth. It clears and removes confusion and misinformation and allows us to perceive with our heart and inner knowing.
It establishes clear communication with your higher self. Both Angels-word and Angel-sword are totally appropriate. As the Angels-word it does allow you to hear the words of the angels and also the word of your own angel-your higher self or inner guidance. The Angel-sword cuts off and removes from the psyche mischievous or negative entities or other sources that interfere with reception of clear communication from your own higher self, or who attempt to feed in false information. Another aspect of Angelsword is that it helps you access and retrieve gifts and skills which you have developed in former lifetimes.
Once I had digested all that Angelsword represented, I discussed it with my partner, Marion. We knew that the Practice would bloom under the Angelsword banner. With Ian White’s nod, it was full steam ahead. The Practice did indeed thrive with a current patient base of over 9000 patients. At times the waiting list for new patients has been up to 6 months, and on average I would see 5-6 new patients every day. Most would return initially on a monthly basis, but in some cases a patient would not reappear for 5 or 6 years, stating that their original problem was “fixed” and help was now needed for a new set of symptoms.
It is now March 2009. A decision to relocate to Tasmania in a few months time will see Angelsword now based from this new website. It is my intent that Angelsword will continue to offer help and hope to many patients who are seeking a new and different way of addressing their health problems, one that is non invasive and seeks to define the underlying cause, whether on a physical, emotional or spiritual basis.
This approach is heart based and aimed at assisting in the evolution of humanity, with humility, respect and compassion.
