Sarah Brown
Natural healer, Alexander Technique teacher, and writer.
Oh, but I was a miserable child! There wasn’t any reason for it, because my parents are wonderful. It was simply that I couldn’t see any other way to be.
I spent most of my early years in dread of what people thought of me. This fed into teenage angst and coagulated into a dark, dense feeling that sat squarely across my stomach and limited my every choice and thought, so that I was left with a sense that I simply didn’t dare to proceed.
Then I hit adulthood and viewed myself as a failure and a freak. Had some suicidal moments. Made my friends thoroughly miserable with my moods.
Then, one day, a physiotherapist I met at a party told me that my posture was awful (which I knew) but that there was something I could do about it (which I didn’t). He recommended that I try the Alexander Technique.
I went for some lessons, and some of the physical tension I had carried for so long unwound. And suddenly this depression that I had lived with for as long as I could remember was lifted! I felt free, for the first time in my life. That was the first time I realised the mind/body connection. I decided to train to be an Alexander Technique teacher.

It was the
start of my journey. As depression was a habit, it
would return every so often to challenge me with
varying degrees of intensity. It was during one of
these bouts of depression that I met a healer, who
accosted me and interrogated me for two hours (it
felt like twenty minutes). I began working with him
and had a good look at some of the illusions in my
life. Around that time I discovered A Course in
Miracles, and started working with that amazing
book too, and also met my guide in White Eagle.
And somewhere amongst those different experiences, I came to realise the profound nature of the mind/body/spirit connection.
And the upshot of all of this and the many wonderful people I have met along the way is that I am healed of depression and I work with others to help them heal themselves too. I don’t just work with depression – I help people with all manner of mental and physical disturbances. Because my journey involved such a long time in the dark, the people who tend to be the most drawn to work with me seem to be the ones who feel themselves to be stuck there.
I help them to learn new ways of thinking, to meditate, and I help to clear the dark stuff from their energy fields so that they can begin to understand what it is to be in the light.
I also write a blog for this purpose at http://www.healingthroughenlightenment.blogspot.com, and have recently published a novel, Forgiveness, which is a story about love, loss, and learning how to live – there is more information about this to be found at www.healingthroughenlightenment.co.uk.
