Facilitator : Jill Gordon

I have worked as a general trained nurse for 50 years, graduating from a major Sydney hospital in 1957. For the first 9 years I was employed in the public hospital system in Theatre, Out Patient & Casualty departments.

In 1966 I was employed as Director of Nursing in the Aged Care sector. In those days, much to my horror, there were very few regulations regarding care and staffing in these facilities. The residents asked me if I would stay and take care of them until they died! I was determined to improve their lifestyle – which was non-existent. They just sat in chairs and stared into space, or dozed their entire days away. I became determined to operate my own aged care homes and provide better care.

 

In 1967, after advertising and trying in vain to find an Occupational Therapist to work in one of my facilities, I granted a scholarship through my company to the College of Occupational Therapy in Sydney. This was the beginning of what is now known as Diversional Therapy in Australia. At the time I did not realize that this would become a standard requirement in Aged Care throughout the country. I knew then that my 300 residents in three facilities were leading more interesting and active lives.

 

During my 35 years as an Administrator in Aged Care I became very conscious of the incredible amount of medication my residents were prescribed on a day-to-day basis. This was just to keep them settled and relatively content. In the late 1970’s I began using amethyst crystals and crystal clusters placed throughout my buildings, and aromatherapy oil burners wherever it was safe to do so. I noticed that my residents did need less of many medications and were much more relaxed – although I did not explain to the visiting GP’s how this was being achieved!

I became interested in all of the alternative modalities available. For the last 25 years I have studied Chakra Balancing, NLP, Time Line Therapy, Hypnosis, Reiki (Master Level), Image Consulting, Colour Therapy (Level 2), Aura-Soma (Practitioner Level), Orion Healing (DNA 1 & 2), Serenity Vibrational Healing Technique (Teacher Level 1, Practitioner 1& 2), Crystal Healing (Diploma) and Meditation (on many levels). I have now begun a 12 month Diploma course in Crystal Bowl Playing-Sound Therapy. I also offer workshops in Manifestation, Visualisation and Automatic Writing. I am a regular guest speaker on Colour Healing and Balancing at the MindBodySpirit Festivals in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

 

Up until recent times many of these alternative modalities were viewed with much skepticism. When I began Automatic Writing 25 years ago I was told by my Spirit Guides not to discuss this subject with friends or students because the world was not ready to accept or understand it! I know I have always been guided in my life by a power much greater than any on Earth. I was born, as I believe everyone is, with psychic abilities and am able to tune into the vibrational patterns of most people at will. I intuitively know where to find information I need in my studies. Everything is vibration, and if I were to call myself anything it would be a Vibrational Therapist.

 

This generation and the generations of the future are creating new and complex complaints and diseases by their lifestyles. For example drugs, fast foods, computers, TV, microwave cooking, artificial lighting and temperature control (ie air conditioning and heating) all play a part. A lack of fresh air, natural sunlight, fresh and unprocessed foods, exercise and a balanced use of colour all contribute to decreasing our quality of life on this planet. It will be the role of the therapists of tomorrow to turn this cycle around and assist in creating a healthier future for millions of human beings. They will be able to work together with traditional medicine to prevent and cure complaints such as depression, obesity, chronic fatigue syndrome and computer fatigue. They will teach new and easy ways to use colour, sunlight, exercise (outside not in gyms on electrical equipment!), sound and music to prevent unnecessary illness.

 

I truly believe Light and Colour Vibrational Healing is the way of the future!
