Hi I'm David Polkinghorne

This is a little about me.

I have lived on Tregenna Farm all my life;  I am a practical person and always apply myself to everything in a straightforward and uncomplicated way. 

When I left school I came home to work on my parents' dairy farm, learning the many skills needed from my father and at college.  I was first employed by my parents then worked as a partner and eventually took on the business myself.  After 33 years in the business I sold the dairy herd in 2005 and now dedicate my time to my spiritual development and my healing practice.

I believe working often on my own, with the land, the seasons and elements, trusting my intuition as frequently there were no clear-cut answer to the challenges I faced has helped me become a grounded person who is very much in touch with myself, the planet and nature. 

Healing has always been an integral part of the Cornish way of life.  I grew up curious and open to these traditions. During a visit to a crystal shop in St Ives, I was intrigued to sense the vibration and energy from gemstones.  This prompted me to train in many different therapies and develop the technique that I now practice, which is a complementary therapy derived from Spiritual Healing, Reiki Healing, Emotional Freedom Technique and Acupressure.   

All healers act as a channel, allowing the universal healing energy to flow through them into the recipient.  With this in mind I endeavour to heal as many of my own issues as possible through exchanges and self-healing.  I believe the more I heal my own issues the less resistance there is within me and therefore the healing energy can flow more freely through me and be of a higher vibration. This enables the healing to access deep issues, which helps the healing process to be much quicker and more effective. 

The emotional issues and baggage we carry around within us, are installed by the people and the experiences we have throughout our life.  The mechanism by which they are installed is fear.  These fears affect us as individuals at many different magnitudes and they are of; people, failure, loss etc.

In my view these fears are what creates our subconscious and our ego is the coping mechanism of our subconscious.  A modern style of living where no one stops to consider the consequence of their subconscious reactions when challenged is what keeps us locked into a cycle of similar experiences throughout our life.

I also view these fears as being like grains of sand carried within various parts of our body, according to where we choose to hold them.  Imagine how destructive a grain of sand would be to our body over a long period of time, let alone a bucket full, which is the equivalent of how much many of us have strewn around our body.  

Whenever I feel challenged by something or someone I realise there is fear within me.  This I now see as a gift of awareness that offers me the opportunity to heal an issue that is affecting my life, both in terms of the health of my physical body and the choices I make.

I have always held the belief that the most effective and sustainable way to heal myself is to heal the issue at its core and not use my time healing the subsequent experiences due to the core issue.  Sometimes with very deep issues I understand it is necessary, when ready to revisit and heal it at a deeper level.  This is also the way I work when giving healing to others.

We cannot change what has happened in the past, however by changing what we think and how we feel about it, we change how we respond to similar experiences.  We therefore empower ourselves to make conscious decisions instead of subconscious decisions. 

I believe we are each and every one of us on a journey, a journey of experience, for the benefit of our soul and therefore the combined soul of humanity.  The journey can be enriched by going within for the purposes of remembering and applying the deep and meaningful wisdom of our soul.  A journey towards enlightenment and a life lived in total consciousness.   

I maintain and manage the website myself, it has a lot of insights and guidance that I feel are to be shared.  It is constantly evolving and I feel a great sense of pride in this developing resource.  I hope you enjoy and benefit from your visit and please do revisit at a later date to read future updates and additions.  If you feel a friend may benefit please pass on the address.
