Welcome

In these times of change, it may be time for you to decide why you are on the planet at this time.

Humility, honesty and a sense of deep humanity.
What is the point? Sovereignty surely – playing your own game?

Intention – you to take charge – you can!!

I’ve attended the selfing training intensive a few weeks back. Walked in burnt out, achey and somewhat lost (trying to work out what I am meant to be doing besides mothering my 4 children). I was surrounded by beautiful like minded women and learnt so much how to help myself (and therefore my family). It is very practical, easy to do at home but life changing. After the weekend I was back to feeling alive again, my body was less achey and I felt a sense of purpose and hope. – Josi . .

Maybe wonder

What led you to me?
Why you are receiving this.
Why did you open this email?
Why did you find me – after often trying to get answers for decades?)

(Maybe you came upon me because I taught your relation how to be an acupuncturist in the early 1980’s – or maybe I was called in to stop an impending miscarriage/baby loss – or to sort out your daughter’s gut issues – or you found me online – or anything in between.)

Times were I offered an opposing voice to ‘put your affairs in order ‘ – code for lay down and die. In the last 40 + years (In Feb 1979 I set up my first practice in the middle of Brisbane city – 303 Adelaide St). Since then I have been a voice of practicality, of common sense, of ‘we can do it’ – and of solace – for those looking for different.

Trust life being my mantra

Guidelines – what runs through all I do

Body heals itself
Energy follows thought (we can alter so easily what is – by . .)
Structure determines function
Flows have to flow
Body remembers everything that has ever happened to it

HEATHER IN SERVICE

Me trusted to do my best.
Likely to find out if I do not know
Over giving, over caring and multi talented.

Often the sick were healed. The crippled got up and walked (pain free). Those ‘fixed’ sent others. No advertising needed. Word of mouth. All desperate for different. All desperate enough to change what had led them to me. Or stay stuck. They realised that something had to shift. Them usually.

Initially mainly seeing pain and hopelessness, my task was to turn this around. All options were likely trialed before seeing me. What did I do? Take out what was blocking healing. A different perspective. Pain does this to a person. As does receiving a terminal prognosis. Those who were at the ‘end of the line’ found me. Pain – periods awry was my specialty – as prior to laproscopies, progesterone implants, radical menstrual distress was discounted as ‘women’s lot’. Horrendous joint destruction, back problems – not seen by X rays – bleeding stomach and duodenal ulcers (before medication to kill off Helicobacter), menopausal horrors (before HRT), ‘out of control’ blood pressure – again before medications – ACE inhibitors, and a myriad of body message blockers – all supposedly magic pills to ease the silly life habits – so all could keep CREATING their dramas. Dastardly new discoveries – A new disease – a scourge all terrified of – AIDS – appeared. As all other life challenges – it was conquered – one person at a time – as all was. Personal effort versus hopelessness.

Not for all – many given a death sentence took it home and complied. Often ‘ being good’ and doing all they were told. And living out the expectations. I wondered – why accept limitations? When confronted with AIDS as being the designer, writer and teacher of acupuncturists since 1981 in Brisbane the ‘too hard’ basket was my domain.

People came in and we undid the accelerated aging that was happening. The scurry to find a magic pill ($$$$ not altruism) the beat up of pre antibiotic/ anti bacteria proportions – as leprosy or TB had been in our great grand parent’s days – led me into where no problem escaped solutions. Then the push for jabs of toxic substances to supposedly ward off invaders. Not strengthen the body’s own defenses (‘old wives tales’) – but flashy new ideas (not time tested).

Anyone when walking through my doors – learned of the fact that a body heals itself.

Came to personal realisations. Always told that ‘alternative’ to what the doctor said was somehow radical. Dangerous even. Even when no hope found there – hence the finding of the one who offered solace. Changing what created a problem – changed the outcome.

Being the only woman acupuncturist/also naturopath/herbalist in Brisbane city – I got a large following of desperates – in times before assisted reproduction and before the crash of sperm quality – all lack of baby paths led to Heather Bruce. Then the too scared to birth – prior to C sections on demand (before epidurals – too dangerous). Pain – unrelenting – trigeminal neurelgia, post shingles, extraordinary nerve and structural catastrophies. When told to learn to live with ‘it’ – some heard of ‘the magic lady’ and appeared in my clinic – often from very strange paths to find me. Cancers unresponsive to ‘treatment’ ( more chemical/radiographic incursions – and no personal responsibility taken.

Starting with the elderly with crippling pain – moxa and lymph drainage added into the tricks in needling that I developed – no one left worse than they came in – most stunningly relieved. They followed instructions/suggested life changes. They knew it was up to them to follow through. And did. the more ‘OCD’ ones were more likely to get what the wanted. Results.

Really does – if we undo why the ‘problem’/stuck spot is there.

Life is for living. Not suffering. Such was the younger Heather’s mission.

It all comes down to this. I wrote this page (CLICK) after watching all seeming to expect ME to do their inner work for them. In the late 70’s = early 80’s (till I retired !!! At 29) and only designed acup courses and taught all levels, writing post grad texts and courses – on ‘hopeless’ cases. Back then. I usually saw people x 3 weekly. Making waves in the habits of those suffering. If an acute problem – daily – sometimes (extreme hyperemesis – pregnancy vomiting ) x3 daily. Maybe x2 daily if a pregnancy in peril. To return it all around. And did.

In the 80’s/90’s life changed. Western medicine came up with heroics – and all seemed seduced in continuing to do what had created the problem , whilst buying into the idea that they had no responsibility as to outcomes. Arrived – retail industrial medicine. A pill for every ill. New ways of attending to pain (bodies cry for help) and inner destruction (as no idea of the Owner’ Manual – for someone elses’ profit – meant that ‘despairing folks – hit the pharmacy – not the self help trail. The invention of dastardly addictive additives – to take all of life.

I usually lived out of Brisbane – Eumundi, Tamborine Mountain, Mt Pleasant, Witta – coming in town to work, escaping back home for personal clarity. After all of this. Being entrusted to clear what has been a tangled mess in everyone’s In the newsletters going back to late last year (when Duncan and I got the dreaded lurgy – and recovered – I wrote what o do/take action. Never suspecting the world would be shut down die to this medical incompetence and vested interests. You may also wonder. .

Why are people acquiescing – handing over – their rights, their sovereignty, their future?
Do they wonder – I wonder – if the people trusted are the ones causing the problems?

I took a research unit for a Masters of Health Science in 2012. I learned not maybe what was intended. Do not ask a research question unless you already know the answer. Not to rock the boat. That there are myriad ways to stack a deck. That the way to prove something right is to not be able to prove it wrong.

After the 2008/9 swine flu, the push for flu jabs was ever more insistent. What people had always did – was watered down by the push to hand over personal care and accept that ‘doctor knows best’. Prior to then, what mum always said and did took precedence,. Different families, different cultures within a community had differing habits – the most likely – was to stay in bed and sweat it out Not to pretend all was well and to ‘soldier on’.

Now – the push for body corruption under the guise of ‘helping’ continues. What about ‘side’ effects?

Did you know? That the best way to prove something right is to NOT be able to it prove it wrong.
Have you? I have. I do not like what I find (CLICK).
And have not – BUT in order to help anyone – I have had to be like in a novel: The Discovery Process for the Defense .
Not the most obvious – that is always done by others.
Medical mediocrity is why we are here.
Failure to do real science – hypothesis and observation – ask does it work? In life??
Does what ever we are doing in this century result in . .
better than before?

What is ethics?
I decided that it was biological sustainability. Here is what I did (CLICK) in 2016 – Playing the Fix It Game.

We are here (2021) – shut down till someone ?????

What you signed up for – more than this newsletter?

Why not you?

Always me. I always find answers – I ask different questions.

I doubt that you have done anything like as much research on anything I speak or write of than I have.
Possibly you have opinions.
Mine are based on life experience.
So very often it is ME that has done what I suggest you do not do.
Often it is me that took the steps to do what I suggest that you do not with it listening .
And thinking .
Why?
Because so very often I thought that I was doing what I thought was right.
I thought had done my own due diligence.

Instead – I get in almost all quarters – people saying -“she’s mad’. Or – “that is JUST what Heather says’. From her lifetime of assisting when no one else can.

What have I been doing recently?

Laying low. Waiting for the dust to settle.

Mentoring my students internationally so they may also stay sane and with hope.
Trying to work out where I am most safe.
What can I do to insert common sense in the recent turn of events.

Heather in Queensland

I have come across ‘the ditch’ – and am here briefly. Brisbane/Yeppoon/Cairns Gold Coast – teaching.
I am seeing some people – who will commit to doing what is expected – change their ways – so what ails them leaves. .
Body messages need heeding,

Teaching?

Do YOU wish to learn what I do? Have you been pestering me to learn? Now is ‘later’. I have heard myself say – never again – and here I am. If you hear this call

RIGHT NOW – ring me 0452 407 667.

As the one who write a different acupuncture course for a new college in 1981 – I have the moves. Also the degree in Adult Education and Vocational Training. I do do it all my way – what I have found to work.

If this resonates – I have online and in person (for two months in Qld) classes. Why not reach out? It all works – and the Foundational Moves course as part of the Self Care package will change anyone’s life. It has so many therapists who have started in n my Gentling Ways – this is my gift – after 45 years of active learning – uncovering why bodies are resistant. Comes back to beliefs – maybe unlock yours?
When is the right time?
Now is all we have.

Gold Coast – this weekend – my last Selfing course – one of my students as assistant – we will lead you through what is missing – women’s initiation into what we can do/be. Women’s business – Selfing .

No one starts my work without already having had ‘a life’ – usually of odd things happening – to direct us into serving – as we needed – and what we eventually found – we are handing over. What works. When nothing else seems to.

Can we fix it?
