Numerologist, astrologer and mathematician Cyrilla Gallagher is to hold a series of workshops in Bermuda starting tonight.

Called 'Ancient Mathematical Systems', she will cover much on Pythagoras and the Mayan Calendar.

Ms Gallagher, who ran her own sales agency in gifts and home décor for 25 years, said: "I do numerology, I do astrology, I do a lot of wellness modalities, I work with individuals and organisations to help them understand each other a little better, their strengths and weaknesses, and how to work though those."

Ms Gallagher, from Nova Scotia and who refers to herself as a student in mathematical systems, specialises in the Mayan Code, which is incorporated into her workshops.

"I spent a whole winter delving into Dr. Carl Johan Calleman's (authority on the Mayan Calendar) work and really getting down to what the calendar is, and because I have a fascination with numbers and how these patterns and cycles play out in our lives, I was able to see that the Mayans weren't astronomers, they were mathematicians and they were very intuitive."

She said a lot of the workshop examines how the mind functions and giving examples of how we can go from living in the head to a more heart-centred reality.

"You go away from the 'me, me, me' to the 'we, we, we' and until we get to the 'we, we, we, we' are still not going to be nice to our fellow men, because we are still stuck in that singular mindset, as opposed to the fact that we are all brothers and sisters on this planet trying to live harmoniously together.

"So the workshop helps to focus on self-love and appreciation and then you can look at those around you and work at cultivating the same love and appreciation for them."

She explained that the conscious mind rules only ten percent, whereas the subconscious mind uses the other 90 percent of the mind. "So really the subconscious mind is ruling us, because it is the subconscious we don't know what is ruling us.

"When we begin to recognise that there are two aspects of ourselves we can bridge them together and become the observer of ourselves. We can start to work through some of those patterns."
