This apprenticeship was very secretive and lasted almost exactly one year. As his health was rapidly fading the day finally came as any other day. I came to the clinic and he said to me “today is your last day with me, it’s finished, you know it all and I can teach you no more”. Of course, this came as a complete shock!! Yet I could accept this as I knew this is how it’s done. It broke my heart, yet rebuilt it in a whole new way. I left him that day reborn. So the story goes on endlessly, he passed his blessing onto me, gave me the lineage, and the rest is history, too much to go into in this space… suffice to say that I carried the torch with dignity and honour, travelled all over the world with it for almost 30 years and made the most common mistake of all gifted healers…..I burned out, burnt myself out completely. My health disintegrated from a lifetime of selfless service, giving till the vessel ran dry, then giving some more till the vessel broke. It was overdue to ask Source to provide an apprentice, someone to pass the blessing onwards to and now we come to Dawn Charlton.

After 7 years of severe illness and on several occasions near to death, the only thing seriously holding me back from that liberation was the need to pass the work onward to find my apprentice….The quest began….and the telephone rang….It was a woman from Australia who asked me if I would come to teach in the centre she had just built, and being a student from study with me previously I said yes, even though I was still very sick.

I began to prepare for the journey, knowing all the while, that the apprentice was there, almost ready. Three courses were arranged and filled up to capacity almost immediately. This woman and former student had done a magnificent job managing the whole venture. Gathering the last bit of strength, supported by her and her group’s prayer circles, I managed to come to Australia. It is thanks to this woman that all of what began here has evolved so beautifully, and in respect for her privacy her name will be kept as such. I bow to her in deepest gratitude.

The first time I met Dawn, I knew, well here she is finally. There was an immediate shock in the lower spine and recognition as clear as day. I didn’t meet her till weeks later when she attended the third course and so I watched and waited.

Three years later, again I’m pulled out of restoring my health by a phone call from a former organiser, asking if I could teach a group she was bringing to Maui. Being very ill I said I will if I can. Thanks to prayer, I pulled the leaky vessel together and when I came to meet the group, here is Dawn, from Australia! Again, immediate recognition occurred, events transpired and from that point on it was certain.
