Sophie Nevill, M.A.
The Journey
After a few difficulties around health and relationships as a teenager, Sophie decided to learn meditation at the age of 18. Since this time Sophie has now been meditating daily for over 15 years. So inspired and encouraged by the incredible life-changing benefits of meditation, and also seeing a great need for a deeper sense of peace and serenity amongst her peers, Sophie started teaching meditation at the University of Edinburgh when she was undertaking her degree. Since this time, Sophie has been teaching meditation to many people across various cities around the world.
Although teaching meditation has always been Sophie’s greatest passion, she also started to find that it wasn’t always enough to help her students integrate, and deal with life’s difficulties and challenges. As we know with meditation - it helps the 'unconscious' become 'conscious' - yet it doesn't always teach one how to integrate this unconscious material that arises. Subsequently in order to gain a greater understanding of the human mind, body, and soul, Sophie undertook a full-time, 4 year training and Masters program in Transpersonal Psychology and Mindfulness-based Counselling. Now practising as a fully qualified transpersonal psychotherapist, Sophie has a much vaster and deeper understanding of the human body/mind, as well as the Self beyond and within this unique manifestation, and is subsequently able to fully support her clients in navigating, and integrating the inevitable ups and downs of life in a deeply grounded and secure way.

Alongside this journey and training Sophie has been undertaking her own ever-deepening meditation practise and inner Self-work, which has led her to have a number of very profound and deep Awakening experiences. At the age of 23 the ‘self’ spontaneously and completely dissolved and she experienced herself as Every-thing and No-thing. She was then shown all her past lives in concordance, very much like a movie screen, and for the next few weeks was able to see and experience first-hand how consciously resting in and as, this inherent ‘impersonal’ Void of Everything would then bring her ‘personal’ thoughts and prayers instantly into manifested form....with very little personal 'self' or thoughts arising - there was no distortion or unconscious mental/emotional blocks inhibiting manifestation - it was simply God meeting God. Life meeting life. No separation.
The profound affect of these few weeks has never left Sophie and her journey since then, has been an ever-deepening Awakening too, and embodiment of this infinite Stillness and Peace, into every area of this unique human holographic reality. Alongside these experiences, Sophie also had a profound meeting with a Shaman in Australia when she was 18 and proceeded to learn and work with her for 10 years after. This journey opened her mind and heart to our true multi-dimensional nature and Soul's infinite journey, through all 'times, space and dimensions' that she now integrates into everything she now does...
Recognising and experiencing ever-more deeply that God is both within and beyond all things and You are that. Sophie aims to hold this multi-dimensional level of Awareness with every client she sees and person she meets. Gently and compassionately holding their unique current personal ‘story’, their Soul's many 'past' and 'future' lifetimes and incarnations, and the infinite timeless Self beyond it all, without bypassing any of it. Allowing every facet to be seen, honoured and acknowledged, so that all can be brought back into alignment with the essential unconditional Love and Wholeness that I Am. Allowing this divine Love 'down' to clear all density and distortion that has built up over time in the body/mind, so that all can start to experience a permanent shift in conscious and complete transfiguration of the DNA…true 'cellular' Enlightenment.
Furthermore, throughout her life Sophie has suffered from various health issues and chronic pain difficulties. These experiences have brought her ever-more deeply into understanding the wisdom of the Body and the profound importance of truly integrating and honouring the Body on the spiritual Awakening path. It has led her on a journey to study the mind/body connection in very great depth. Her passion for healing both on the physical and non-physical realms has led her to focus more specifically on the role of emotions and the unconscious in dis-ease and learning various ways to help her clients connect to the deeper wisdom and message of their illness and pain. Sophie is currently writing a book called 'The Role of Emotions of dis-ease; Understanding the Body as a Map of the Unconscious' - based on her Master's Thesis that was based on the same title and theme. Subsequently Sophie also specialises in seeing clients who may have chronic health and/or pain issues and aspires to help support her clients in compassionately navigating, and finding the higher reason behind this sometimes arduous journey.
Finally, in the last few years - after some very clear visions and dreams - Sophie has also has been putting her focus on working specifically with helping women to Awaken to their inherent Power and re-member this sacred path of the Rose...an ancient Mystic path of embodied Love and 'feminine' heart-centred path of Awakening that the world so deeply needs at this time. She birthed a festival called Heart of the Rose and is currently in the process of inheriting her families Land and building an international retreat centre. This is following a vision she had at 18 showing her the reason 'her Soul incarnated into this family and Land was to use the Land for the good of all humanity' and bring 'as much Light to this area of the world as possible'. This vision and dreaming has been 15 years in the making and is now finally starting to manifest. For more details, please see www.heartoftherosefestival.com
