Finding the diamond within
Set in the meeting room at the idyllic gardens of the Chalice Well in Glastonbury, I receive a warm, relaxed welcome to the Diamond Within workshop, hosted by Debbie Clayton. Entering the informal workshop space is like being wrapped in a warm, comforting blanket.
One participant, who is here with her daughter from Oxford, informs me that she is at the start of her spiritual path but very much lacks the confidence to go forward with her healing and connecting with people. She first met Debbie five years ago at an Angelic Initiations workshop, when she was suffering from a bad skin condition and could not sit outside in the sun. She tells me that from that first attunement her skin condition started to get better.
Others attending include an NHS hypnotherapist, an Inland Revenue worker, a shop assistant, and a young man from Reading who says he has miraculously managed to completely cure himself of Multiple Sclerosis.
After a brief chat over a cup of tea, the workshop begins, and we each sit on a cushioned seat in a circle and settle down. Debbie begins by invoking six Archangels to raise their swords and create a safe space using the protection of the six-pointed star, and asking only to connect with higher vibration beings.
Debbie works using her intuition and is guided by angels who “Always work for the higher good”. There is no rigid structure to the workshop, it is free-flowing. The loose itinerary for the morning session is to start with a guided meditation to enable clearing, which needs to occur in order to progress. Debbie then trance channels and we are blessed with group and individual angelic readings.
Diamond energy
The purpose of the Diamond Within workshop is to call upon the angels to work in conjunction with diamond energy, to shift the blocks within us and allow our true potential to shine, enabling participants to feel uplifted and confident. Debbie explains: “If you feel ready to leave the old behind and find a new way of life feeling joyful and fear-free, then certainly this workshop will be helpful. Being attuned to the higher light frequencies of Diamond Spectrum Healing reveals your inner beauty and soul’s knowledge at the time.”
Diamonds in their purest form are carbon and we are made of carbon; we are diamond energy in its purest form. Diamond energy is a cold, indigo energy and working with it unites us with our inner power and aids personal growth. The aim of this workshop is to activate and link to the diamond energy within, to encourage self-belief by connecting with your inner light. Participants are encouraged to open up and realize what their role is in this life, to stop beating themselves up, and to acknowledge why they are here.
As additional tools, Debbie uses Quintessence, Auora-Soma colour therapy, by placing a drop in the palm of the left hand, to cleanse and balance aura, thus allowing a stronger connection with spirit. Debbie uses Sanat Kumara ‘Divine Will’ – orange and diamond spectrum healing spray (created by Debbie, and sourced with help of star beings and diamond energy) for the first clearing meditation.
Messages from the angels
“Angels work in a very aware and beautiful way,” says Debbie. “They make shifts and changes happen very gently so that you always feel safe and comfortable.” Debbie channels an angel called Serena who gives us group and individual readings. The message to our group is: “I have come to bring hope and to uplift and to confirm that your journey as a whole is not as long and arduous as you think. As the planets are shifting so are you shifting forward, making enormous strides. At times you may feel out of balance as new shifts come around, but just be aware of this as it is not a big issue. Take time out for yourselves and perhaps slow down to allow for changes to occur. We must help them to realize not to hold on to fear, but to allow love and light into their lives. Each of you should be a guiding star.”
The clearing meditation and individual reading was very helpful and accurate, it brought to the front a block that I didn’t even realize was there. I felt a physical shift in my solar plexus. The angelic message I received was astoundingly insightful, leaving me feeling lighter and comforted. I was blessed with the wisdom of Archangel Michael.
Just as stomachs are starting to rumble at around 1pm, we arrive at a natural break. Debbie’s husband Ian comments: “Angels are great, even though they live in a timeless dimension, they know that we need our lunch!” Everyone had brought food to share and the result was a wonderful feast.
Following lunch, each person chose an ‘Angel of Light’ card from Debbie and was encouraged to read out to the group our individual message and share the accompanying image. My card is ‘Open Doors’ a particularly pertinent choice for me at this time.
The next stage is a meditation and attunement to Diamond energy, followed by a session of healing, calling upon the power of the angels and using the method of toning (creating a sound chamber and powerful vibration through our combined voices). Colour is also used – The quintessence, Maha Chochan, a turquoise energy that works with the throat chakra. A few drops of a diamond essence, made by Debbie, were also placed on participants’ tongues.
Debbie channels Archangel Michael who delivers pro-active, succinct messages and advice to each individual in the group. All of whom are greatly inspired and encouraged. At the end of the workshop, at around 4.30pm, I feel buzzy, light and very comforted. I have been given a lot to think about and work on. It was a wonderful, uplifting and informative experience with beautiful energy that was shared with a relaxed, welcoming group of people.
About Debbie Clayton
Debbie lives with her husband, Ian, and two daughters in beautiful Cornwall, England, on land that originally was an old tin mine. She says: “We have nurtured the 100-year old land so it is now a magical paradise with a fairy tree house and spacious yurt for our amazing workshops and retreats.
“My mother, Pauline Bendell, who was a healer for the White Eagle Lodge in Liss and Bournemouth, encouraged me with my spiritual development. She opened the doors for me to meet many amazing and interesting people including Diana Cooper who was a close friend of hers and I consequently did some training with her.
“My first interest was colour healing and I trained in stages 1 and 2 with Aura Soma and followed this soon after by becoming a Reiki master. My guides Ranu and Watchful Fox then trained me by opening up opportunities for me to meet Elsa Ayling, a psychic artist and spiritual teacher, who helped me tremendously in developing my clairvoyance and confidence. Angels came into my life more fully after a life-changing trip to Israel (my spiritual home) with Mike Robinson and ever since I have followed the Essene teachings and meditations, meditating with the Angels each day. I am a trance channeler and all of my workshops have been channeled from spirit for optimum transformation and guidance. My spiritual pathway is forever expanding and changing, and I now use toning and various other techniques that I have been told I used in past lives in Egypt and Atlantis.”
How the workshop evolved
Debbie explains that the workshop was channeled to her after a series of experiences in which she allowed others to take her power. “Spirit said that was enough. Three years ago, I was given 12 diamonds by a complete stranger. I had asked for a diamond to use for healing after attending Diana Cooper’s Atlantis workshop so Spirit heard.”
Debbie used those diamonds to make sprays and, through using these with another essence, she learned of her past lives and about her soul’s role in this lifetime. “I am now so excited to share this information and healing with as many people as possible, as was shown to me, and spread the message of the diamond and the rose.”
She hadn’t even been sure if the workshop space was free for her to do this workshop. “I am always amazed how spirit works” says Debbie, “I only recently booked this weekend thinking that I would have to wait months for a free space. Lo and behold the first weekend I asked for was free. Diamond energy and the power of Lord Melchizedek and the Archangels lead the way in an amazing weekend. The course involves healing through the power of the diamond and a six-pointed star, plus using powerful guided meditations and empowering invocations to place us in wholeness and a place of complete peace. So, if you feel drawn to attend and find the word ‘diamond’ coming into your head and are seeing it written down, then your place has been pre-booked by your guides and Angels...”

Try this at home
Lie down and put on some relaxing music and feel where there is any discomfort in the body, usually you may feel this in the solar plexus or in the throat or heart chakras. Focus on the feeling that comes up and pull it into the heart centre and say you are willing to let go, and just trust that the angels will shift your blocks.
You can also focus on your inner light or inner diamond; see it as a brilliant light coming from your heart and spreading out, literally blazing in true brilliance.
Debbie also does one-to-one Angel guidance readings and Soul Life readings starting from £50. Workshops and diary dates available on her website www.angelsoflight.co.uk. The cost of a one-day workshop starts from £75 which includes an attunement.
