Personal Stories From Embody Participants
Being a participant on Embody at Boondocks was a profound experience. On the workshop I experienced how my body is a precise compass for my own joy. If we are prepared to listen and respond when our body communicates what it wants and what it does not want, we are certain to live the life that is most satisfying to us. Every ounce of unexpressed pain, rejection, anger and love along with all the other emotions we experience are cumulatively stored in our bodies until we are ready to deal with them. On Embody I learned to communicate, touch and listen to my body in a brand new way. Thank you Ang for your deep wisdom and your relentless passion for personal growth. The sense of freedom and confidence that everybody left Boondocks with is something I will never forget. I love my body and especially my Belly!
After a wonderful sleep last night, today is a brand new start. I find my awareness of my body, which I now fully appreciate as the home of my-self, is functional after having been asleep for so very long. Thank you, thank you for providing Embody, in all its facets, for me to do this. I am so very grateful.
The Embody workshop was more, much more than anything I could have imagined. I signed on the workshop because I have had a sore, aching body as far back as I can remember and despite the self work I have done, which is a lot, I just never seem to get to the understanding of the pain. It stops me from so much of my life, I was worn out and fed up. I did not know what the workshop would entail and was sufficiently desperate to try. Had I known the detail of the program I would have backed out because it confronts the deepest personal resistances anyone can have, and that is their body. Now that I have completed Embody I am in awe of everyone who participated, particularly myself because we were wonderful, magnificent, beautiful and freed beyond imagination. I have returned home with a new view of myself and a deeper understanding of the ways in which I was damaging my body. I have seen how I have carried responsibility for my adult children, family and friends far too long. At last I begin to feel a freedom which allows me to be an authentic friend and to follow my path without illusionary burdens.
For me that is the optimim space for anyone to embark on Embody. It is best not to know detail about the program other than you are willing to give it your best shot. You will not be disappointed, your faith will be restored in humanity and you will come away loving yourself and life unconditionally with incredible excitement. What a gift.

My weekend at Boondocks, carrying out the EMBODY workshop was more than life-changing. Each process allowed me to take a step forward towards my own devine beauty. Never have I felt so free in all 34years of existance on this earth. Every step I took was magical and it unlocked a new aspect of deep understanding to the questions I have always asked regarding my body. WHY, is my body the way it is? Never will I need to ask that question again. I have discovered my new best friend (my body). The miricles have continued into my everyday life and GRATITUDE is the only word that comes to mind when I think of my weekend at Boondocks.
Thank you Angela from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you, thank you.
Driving home in the car just now I was thinking of the weekend and what I have learned from it. The first thing that came into my mind was the money I invested. It is probably the best money I have ever spent. To put it into perspective, I bought a dress for a wedding the other day for R2020. Where did that get me???
I have taken so much away with me, too much to really write down in a
paragraph.
Some of the breakthroughs that stand out for me the most are as follows:
Needing to nurture my inner child at the age that I was abused, to allow
safety and one of the tools to a better sex life.
To find a career that brings me joy will allow my body to unblock and
shift.
To listen to the messages my body gives me regarding pain and food.
To give my body through nakedness, touch, play, sleep, dance, and
pampering (no money need be invested in this)
This weekend has allowed me to truly love my body. I look at it with new
respect, and will treat it so.
It was so amazing working in a group, I learned so much through other
people’s processes.
I have identified that I have replaced sex with food, therefore the need
to eat constantly. Food is my ultimate pleasure, but through putting
into practise the tools and knowledge I have been given over the
weekend, I will eventually find balance.
I have been stretched out of my comfort zone in so many ways, and with
that I have grown and moved forward in my personal development
I got home this after the workshop and my husband and kids had gone out to lunch. When they got back my 6 year old daughter drew a beautiful picture of me. She said to me "'mommy, you are all shiny", I said what do you mean. She said ‘you have a sparkly dress on because when I first saw you today, you looked all sparkly".
Isn't that amazing!!!
An afternoon with Angela…
By Lisa Steingold

We all have a life story. Our stories are intricate webs woven with threads of love, heart ache, happiness, disappointment, joy, anger, resentment, inspiration, connection, creativity, excitement and so much more. I have throughout my life felt, however, as though I were the fly caught in the trap instead of the master spinner.
The week before I went to see Angela I sat down one day and after a lifetime quest for understanding, I surrendered. I was divorced, broke, in a volatile work situation and an abusive relationship. I felt I had failed in every aspect of my life. I felt I had failed not only myself but all those around me. I sat on the floor of my bathroom and cried. I cried even though there were no more tears left to spill. And when the crying finally ceased I found myself praying. Unlike so many times before when I had prayed for things to go right and be okay, that day I prayed for wisdom, strength and courage.
I went to see Angela as an act of desperation. I had reached a point where I could no longer make sense of anything. My heart had literally ached everyday for more than 2 years. I sat across the table from Angela and from the moment she spoke I cried. I cried not from the pain that was so familiar but from the release of it all. I expected to be told that everything would be fine and that X, Y or Z would occur in my life. Instead I was given a deep and profound insight into why I had experienced the people, places and situations in my life. The words that were spoken were so wise and yet relevant to me that I did not for a moment question it. I cried from realising that I was not being punished, that my life had purpose even if I didn’t always understand it and that I was a divine being.
I have been to many psychics and ‘spiritual workers’ in the hope that someone would be able to give me the answers. The epiphany I had when going to see Angela was that I realised that there are no answers from the outside in, only the inside out. The reading gave me the permission to finally accept myself and my life choices for what they were. Not mistakes, not lessons but choices; choices which had allowed me to deepen my experience of life.
I have to say that I would not have been able to change my web, had I not been prepared to surrender. That said I also saw a therapist for a number of years and I know that she had helped too, to get me to a place of readiness and openness. In fact every situation and person I had encountered had helped bring me to a place of readiness.
If I was not prepared for the reading, I was certainly unprepared for the events that followed suit. I could not have imagined how an afternoon with Angela could have such a profound impact on my daily life. I am more grateful to her than I can express. I started changing my thought patterns. Suddenly the pain in my heart lifted. I actually felt light and accepted everything that was happening. All of a sudden things I started doing went well, extremely well. Only a few months later and I have a new job ahead of me, I have been able to set my finances on the right track and am very much enjoying single life. I feel fulfilled, “charged” and full of life.
The single biggest thing that I have taken away is that the knowledge and wisdom shared from Angela’s reading is an invaluable tool with which to “spin” my own life philosophy; a philosophy that supports me and helps me navigate the rivers of life. I liken my life philosophy to a sail; it changes with the wind but its support structure stays the same.
Funnily enough (the universe has a fabulous sense of humour) I was sent a quote today by a dear friend of mine which most accurately describes how I feel;
"The path to self discovery is a long and winding one. It is not for the feint hearted. It takes more courage than you can ever imagine but to find your inner self and be at peace with what you find is truly enlightening."
Received everything - thanks Garrick.
A profound message that really stirred my emotions deeply and although
directed at me, I sense that it is a message for the world. I'm thinking
about the deep divide and wounds create in people because of religious
teachings .....and although I haven't belonged to a Church in many, many
years, I'm wondering where / when my own disconnect happened, What
lifetime I've brought this from.
Lots to think about and lots to cry about .... and lots to be grateful
for.
Please thank Angela for her integrity in receiving,. I am very grateful
for my connection with you both,
Nothing like a gentle and lovingly delivered "skop in die koek" to set
one straight!

Thank you so much, I received the disc but only when I returned from our trip to Clarens, which was Saturday 3 January. In amongst all my house guests I managed to find a quiet moment and listen to the cd. What a gift it was at this time of my life. It was an experience of unconditional non-judgemental love. I have downloaded the message onto my ipod so that I can listen frequently and not forget the suggestions that were given to me.
Please pass my thanks onto Angela for making this available to me.
Hi Angela,
This is to thank you for you. Our meeting has had a profound effect on
me.

Shamim
Hi Angela
Just to say you truly “served me magnificently” today. Thank you so
much. I have only been to see you twice but both times have been
awesome!
Love
Michelle
Dear Angela,
Thank you very much for the reading despite you not feeling well. I
found it encouragingly helpful and fine tuned. It also initiated a bit
of a healing crisis and brought on some heavy-duty clients in duplicate.
I found it accurate, to-the-point and gentle and amazingly practical in
its suggestions.
I do really appreciate and feel privileged.
Christine
Hi Angela
Thanks so much for the reading. I must say, I was a little apprehensive
at first it being my first reading, but soon I sensed that it was coming
from a place of such love and divinity and truth with the most
unbelievable insight into me that it blew me away!
I can’t wait to get home tonight to listen to the CD since I can only
remember snippets.
Love
Julie
Just want to let you know that the beautiful advise I got from our
last session is having a magical effect in my life already and I have so
much more hope for healing and having a full happy life.
Thank you so much. Meeting you have really been a blessing for me.
Sending you lots of love

Dear Angela,
Just wanted to say thank you for the personal channelling session last
night. It has put so many things into perspective for me. It has
definitely increased my sense of awareness of my inherent
"wisdom/calmness" and I am grateful for your time and energy that you
put into making this clear to me.
I hope to see you soon
Love
Hello Angela
I just wanted to thank you so much for yesterday's session, both P and I
really enjoyed it. He was very nervous to start with but soon settled.
You have a very unobtrusive way of communicating with our guides and
it's very comforting.

Hi Angela
Thank you so much for this transcription and wonderful reading, in the
beginning I was very overwhelmed by all the information being brought
across, but it has allowed me to move greatly forward with huge
understanding.
I am in gratitude to you for sharing your gift of channelling with me.
I look forward to hearing from you again.
Kind Regards
Tracy
As for the channelling experience! - I feel honoured to have
experienced first hand the unconditional love and support of my guides
and to know they are there for me all the time.
thank you for that and look forward to seeing you again in Cape Town.
with love
Fiona
Thank you so much for coming to Cape Town and giving us such a wonderful insight into channelling and your experiences in this area. I feel that my journey in this regard has taken such a beautiful path by meeting you.
Thank you again for channelling the message that my guides had for me
last week, I am extremely grateful to you for your gifts and how you
helped me with them.
Andrew
I wanted to share with you that I had a remarkable insight –
experienced just as a deep knowing and real understanding of a ‘problem’
I have been working with for many years. It occurred when I was reading
one of the readings on your website – and it has stayed with me.
Cheryl
My reading was one of the best things that have happened in my life,
thank you.
Zandile
Just wanted to say thank you for the work you do. The reading was one
of the most amazing and influential events in my life.
Love
Delita
I cannot find words to thank you and the guides who were with us
yesterday for the enlightenment that was brought with the reading. I
feel renewed and it is true - the shift and the insight is as wonderful
as it was with Joy Spring. It seems I just have to be reminded more
often...
My husband and I started with the first tape yesterday night and I
really can see that the insights that were presented to me will benefit
our relationship. Since yesterday I am also in conversation with God and
He has made some things clear for me that I had problems with. I had
some issues that God allowed me to sort out and He has guided me
tremendously to see the truth in this. I am thankful for that.
I can only pray you a blessed day and I hope that you experience the
same peace that you were able to channel to me.
Love,
Marinda
Thanks for the newsletter. I am very happy that you have reviewed
your fees. And also that you have decided to do this full time. There
can few more awesome callings than to relay such immense insight and
direction with such clarity. I'm slightly embarrassed at not showing
more appreciation and gratitude both to yourself and my guides/angels/soulgroup
on the night, but as you might have noticed :-}, I was somewhat overawed
by the deep kindness of the process (and still am ....).
I wish you well with your undertaking and congratulations and blessings
to both you and Garrick on your great forthcoming event!!
much love
Jeanne
Dear Angela,
This is just a BIG ‘thank you’ for the love, light and energy you so
willingly give to others.
You have a Blessed Gift and I have a need to tell you that you are a
Very Special Person! You also need to give herself more time to indulge
a talent [not your channelling] it is creative and will give you great
joy…..don’t know where that came from but needed to tell you.
Thank you again for the gentle and caring way in which you allowed
yourself to be used so that I may hear what my guides and angels needed
me to.
Love and light,
June
My reading has been life changing :) Fabulous. I've listened at least
seven or eight times and have worked hard on taking the advice of my
guides. Please thank Angela again for me. A number of things have
shifted so I may get another reading soon.
Namaste ~
Elaine
I want to thank Angela again for this morning's reading. Something
inside me that had grown hard and shrivelled has unfurled and started to
grow again.
It's a blessing beyond my expectations.
My reading is fabulous. What I love about her work is that it's not
your regular sit-on-your-arse-and-I'll-predict-for-you channeling.
Through my readings, I'm growing in leaps and bounds. Love it!!
I have a lot of work to do before we chat again. In the meantime, take
care Garrick and my thanks and regards to Angela.
