‘If we wish to dance with the angels, it is not necessary to sprout wings or sign on for harp lessons. We simply need to become ourselves - to express our uniqueness, realise our own potential, consciously create our own reality - and have fun doing so….’
( from ‘Living Magically’ by Gill Edwards)

I’m a chartered clinical psychologist by background, and worked full-time in the National Health Service throughout the 1980s. I grew up in a haunted house, began yoga and meditation in my teens, and have been on a spiritual path for 30+ years. In 1989, a mystical experience changed my life - and I resigned from the NHS to write my first book, ‘Living Magically’ (Piatkus, 1991).

I trained in metaphysics and shamanism in the USA, Britain and Hawaii, and have run Living Magically workshops in the UK and abroad since 1990. Over the past six years, I have trained intensively in energy psychology and energy medicine. I have a Diploma in Flower & Vibrational Essences, and have produced my own range of Lakeland Essences. I’m a certified practitioner of Meridian & Energy Therapies-and trained in Advanced EFT, TAT, Advanced Psych-K, Emo-Trance and the Sedona Method. I am also a practitioner of Matrix Energetics-a form of quantum healing.

I’m the author of the best-selling ‘Living Magically’, ‘Stepping Into the Magic’, ‘Pure Bliss’ and ‘Wild Love’, (Piatkus), plus a range of self-help tapes. My latest book, ‘Life Is A Gift’ was published by Piatkus in 2007. It offers a practical guide to making your dreams come true-by aligning with the flow of the cosmos. I am currently working on a book about health, energy and consciousness-the cutting edge of new-paradigm medicine-which has long been a huge passion of mine. I believe that all dis-ease is created by consciousness - and so can be un-created using conscious medicine.

I live in the heart of the English Lake District-a landscape that I love-in a fairytale house which nestles amidst lake, woods and waterfalls. I feel truly blessed!

My life-long focus is on expanding our consciousness: walking with a ‘foot in both worlds’, so that we release our natural state of boundless love, joy, freedom and creativity. I see consciousness as the source of everything. Since everything Is One, I believe that as we develop more of our own potential-and move from fear to love, from struggle to joy-we also help to change the world.
