One of my greatest intentions is to help others remove their limitations.

My own soul has been urging me to ‘go beyond’ . . . go beyond . . . go beyond.

So when people were interested but held back (yes the Christmas/New Year timing wasn’t the best move), I had to look within and TRUST that my highest intentions were to gather the people – to uplift them and provide the place for them to actually EXPERIENCE THEIR SOUL THROUGH CREATIVE EXPLORATION.

I had to TRUST that letting go of monetary reward in regard to the community was perfect for now, and that I’d be inspired in other ways and with other opportunities for bringing in money (it’s never been my main motivation).

So, you can join in The Creative Awakening Community for FREE!

It’s my gift to you, to let you know there’s a place to come and explore the divinity within, without the common obstacle of finances.

Whether you feel you’re creative or not, this community is a haven for your soul, a place to just explore and play . . .

to JUST BE YOU!

Let’s gather the soulful, creative, READY-TO-LET-GO-OF-THE-CRAP peeps!

P.S. I do a mini-reading for ALL new members – two oracle cards for insights into the year ahead – some inspiration and encouragement from spirit!

We can get caught up in thinking that “our bliss” is our life purpose and that this “life purpose” is something set that we have to discover.

I now understand that there is nothing set for us. Disappointed?

Our purpose was to come here and be in the experience of the now, as spirit in physical form.

Our purpose was to awaken to who we are and to integrate that into our life right here on planet Earth.

Our purpose NOW is to just flow in connection with our greater self/fullest self/higher self.

We can “flow” when we are self-aware and can gauge when we are feeling good and when we are not. In that moment we can steer ourselves towards more of feeling good, before “feeling bad” gathers momentum.

Our bliss is something that can be identified in each and every moment. It comes when you take notice of what feels good…what feels exciting…what feels inspired and expansive to you.

Then, you take action on those inspirations and feelings of excitement about that thing or idea.

This is how your soul communicates through you – through your feelings – through your body.

As you take action on your inspirations and excitement, you FLOW your spirit through you.

You are being what you came here to be.

You didn’t come here to “do” something in particular (e.g. to do healing work in service to others).

You came here to BE a living expression of your greater self – spirit in movement (e.g. inherently BEING a healer through your natural presence).

There is therefore nothing to discover that is not known to you…nothing to find that is hidden…nothing to seek that is behind a currently locked door.

Simply be here. Be aware. Breathe your soul consciously into you. Let go of all the limitations and restrictions.

and…

follow your bliss!

Follow your joy and excitement each day and you will be in alignment with your soul.

You show up so often in the details.

When I’m filled with inspiration I’m in my ‘all-knowing’, ‘anything is possible’, ‘there are no limits’ place of being.

It’s glorious!

Then, I start to think (therein lies the problem!) about the details…

How can I bring this inspiration into being?

How can I juggle my family time with my ‘work’, my calling, my desire to assist others?

How can I package up my inner wisdom and gifts, to connect myself and what I have to offer, with you out there?

Oh, it’s those kinds of ‘how it looks in the physical’ type questions that soon have me STUCK all over again.

Woe is me.

Today as I contemplate all of this stuckness, I see that wanting things to be perfect before actually doing them is more about control and wanting every detail to be known in advance.

This makes sense to a degree. After all, I have to be able to allocate time to seeing clients and facilitating groups.

As I try and think about the finer details that I’m always trying to know in advance, I’m finding it hard to think of them right at this moment. This is because they truly aren’t relevant. They are a great distraction to stop from having to actually make choices and do what I know I’m called to do.

So what does it all boil down to my friends…

FEAR.

Anything that feels bad and holds us back is always related in some way, at it’s core, to fear.

Fear, you are my friend. I know you are. You show up to test me. You show up and let me know that I’m not trusting myself and I’m not trusting the universe. What a gift you are!

The more we go down the rabbit hole of the mind, the more apparently ‘lost’ we become.

It’s a great illusion.

Just let go of it, breathe with your inner knowing and follow your heart.

Details, schme-tails…

Let the universe deal with the details!

Our world is changing right now to something that has never been experienced (not even by our spirit friends!).

I now suspect that there is much more of a transformation taking place than we could ever have thought about or predicted. Why? Because even just ‘thinking’ is very much an illusion and the whole way our world has been set up, the way we’ve accepted it all and lived within it, all of that is changing.

The virtual rug is being pulled out from under us my friends.

As we awaken to the deeper truths and feel our presence in the moment that is now, it feels amazing. It’s so much joy feeling really and truly ALIVE.

But be warned, you may find that you suddenly ‘crash’ into the murky depths of your illusion and wonder what the hell happened to your connection with your enlightened self!

Wild emotions, unexplainable downers, questioning the unquestionable, unquestioning the questionable!

Breathe into it and through it my friends. Allow whatever is happening to happen. Don’t fear what comes up (or drags you down). Everything is changing and much of it is not describable with words.

Just know that you are here for the experience of it ALL.

If I remember that fear is giving my power away, I can re-centre myself, breathe and just be where I am.

You never know when the light will beam back your way. It’s often unexpected and just when you think you’re going to be stuck in the murkiness forever, you’re feeling so tuned in and amazing again.

Roll with it my dear friends.

Trust yourself.

Go into YOU for the answers. Yet, in our increasing world of paradox, don’t even seek answers.

It’s not about having answers. It’s not about making sense of anything. It’s not about working it out or knowing the plan (because there isn’t one!).

We’re making it up as we go along!

Holy shit! ha ha

Isn’t that delicious? (no, it sucks when you’re in the shit! lol)

We can’t hang onto anything we know because that’s our old world.

Being real, breathing, feeling every part of your body and senses, walking on the grass. Just BE-ING.

The aliveness will come from the senses and experience of being you, flowing, creating from a pure deep place…just LIVING.

This is actually VERY new to us and we’ll just have to flow with it as we go along, day by day.

So don’t look to what you know, feel into who you are!

I used to envision and feel my path as one that would lead me more and more outward to assist others.

It’s been disconcerting to not achieve that over the last few years.

One can begin to doubt oneself so easily.

If it’s all Divine timing, then when will the right time ever be?

That’s the question that’s been hanging around.

But…

Now there’s something different happening.

What really matters is none of that.

No expectations.

No agendas.

No goal-setting and achieving (or failing to achieve).

Settling down into this energy…into this awareness.

There just is…is-ness.

Being.

Breathing.

Choosing.

This topsy-turvy see-saw I’ve been feeling for a while…

somewhere here in the old and somewhere t/here in the new.

One foot in both worlds.

I feel a little more in the new now.

Or do I?

Ha ha, does it matter?

That’s key…

does it matter?

First instalment…

Healing is something I’ve always done naturally, even as an aspect of listening to people and offering intuitive guidance.

Healing, to me, is about bridging a gap. It could be bridging a mental gap between someone seeing themselves as ‘stuck’ or confused, and offering a glimpse of the bigger picture, helping them see or at least feel a pathway forward or an alternative mindset. It could be bridging the gap between energetic stuckness and flowing in wellness again.

Even the intuitive ability and spiritual connection I have is bridging a gap between the spiritual realms and the physical. Perhaps this is why the eagle is my totem and also why I’ve often been drawn to shamanism? A shaman bridges the gap between the spirit world and physical.

It’s all merging in together now as we enter a new era in human experience. We’re blending our physical selves with our fuller divine spirit selves and this is why I feel that offering energetic healing services right now is most beneficial to others. When I work with the spiritual guidance side of things, we’re still ‘talking’…we’re still using the mental faculties that get us into all our troubles in the first place.

As we wade through new waters, it’s about feeling and being in a whole new-to-us way. I’ve come to personally experience how futile it is to try and problem solve and think your way out of life’s problems. All this does is send you around in circles. There’s something very powerful about energy work that bypasses the mind and goes straight to all that you’re hanging onto deep within and allows it to be released without travelling through the mind to ‘work it out’. Stop trying to work it out. Just know that you no longer need it in your life…all that heavy sad baggage. It’s grown old. You’ve outgrown it, but have you realised it yet?

Time for an energetic wardrobe overhaul! This is what I’m seeing in my mind right now. We, as divine beings here on Earth, are still wearing our old worn clothes but we don’t realise just how much we’ve transformed and the old clothes no longer suit us or serve us. We’re so beautiful and light…even ‘shiny’ comes to mind. We’re beautiful beings and we still think we’re the haggard struggler from the past. No, we are not that person…all those past life persons, any more. Can you get a sense of that??? Can you get a sense of the fullness of who you really are?

I’ve become a bit philosophical writing this but I’m seeing this as a vision and I know this is coming through as a channel now. I want to get back to my journey with healing though. Sometimes I cringe at the word ‘healing’ because it presumes there is something wrong that needs fixing. Really, I feel it’s about releasing and letting go of the energies that don’t serve you so your natural spirit essence can flow back and be predominant again. Your feeling of wellness and well-being is really about being in fuller connection with the true and full YOU. As we release and reclaim our divine presence within us, we awaken to a whole new experience.

Somewhere in the midst of all this is me, as a ‘healer’ – a bridge? a channel? a well-being facilitator? a reminder of one’s own beauty, power and light? … all of these things. I began with the hands-on modality I’ve been trained in – Reiki. Simple. Pure. Natural. Yet I’ve also known that I’m a healer from many lifetimes and there are aspects that would come together to form my own expression or gifts in healing. Reiki is beautiful, yet it’s not complete for me. There’s an expression of me that is who I am as a healer, and as I write this, it’s the first time I realise it as such. On the other hand (no pun intended), it’s not about me at all, but about serving others.

What I want to share here is that with anything, you have to start trusting that divine self within. You have to trust yourself enough to let that inner being shine and guide you. At the psychic fair yesterday, I noticed other healers using a pendulum in their work. This isn’t new to me, but it was standing out to me a lot and I knew this meant that I would find it beneficial to use a pendulum too. It’s not about copying, but following an inner pull.

So today I found myself sitting on my bed, asking questions using a pendulum. I really got into a ‘tuned in’ space quickly and was pulled to go to my sleeping 9 month old daughter with the pendulum to check her chakras. All chakras being okay, I asked if my daughter would benefit from healing energies and the pendulum indicated yes. I was drawn to simply hold my left hand up in the direction of her head (not close to it), while I asked the pendulum in my right hand to continue to spin to indicate the duration of the healing. Immediately I felt the energy flowing towards my daughter and I noticed the pendulum spinning strangely as if slightly slower than it should be for the diameter it was circling in. I was very much ‘in the zone’ for a few minutes and soon realised that the pendulum was spinning very largely, almost pulling my hand around with its force. This was very interesting to me and definitely felt like a ‘step up’ in my personal ‘technique’.

At the point I felt to finish, I pulled both hands, one with the pendulum, quickly to my heart area and gave thanks. This felt like a special connection. I went with the whole feel and just stood there for a few moments, appreciating the energy and gift. I then started falling back on my feet a bit and at the point where I thought I could fall right back, the energy would shift in my legs and feet and I would stabilise. Again, I was trusting the energy. I’ve experienced this a few times before when very relaxed. It’s like an involuntary energy release from the body, twisting and turning. I leant to each side and felt a process of tension and release in the muscles in my back, gradually working their way up. I love this because it’s so natural to flow with the energy and move.

All of this energy work…it’s no natural. That’s one of the things I’m determined to do…to keep everything as simple and natural as possible. In fact, one of the things I appreciated in the healing I did with my daughter, was that I held my hand in one place and there was no need to move to different placements over the body. This is something I had intuitively felt when following the ‘usual’ Reiki method of hand placements. It’s really worth trusting yourself and finding something so much more powerful when you allow your divine knowing to come through.

Perhaps someone who reads this is also a healer (we all can be our own healers). I want to encourage you to go with whatever feels true to you. Use other teachings and techniques as your learning ground and a starting place, then go where your inner being guides you. You are unique and have unique gifts. Share of yourself in the way that is unique to you.

The fairs do the rounds of the local-ish area and this one will be held at…

Jimboomba Community Hall

I’ve had a few spiritual websites over the last 5 or 6 years and while I now have the Spirit Direction site as home to my spiritual guidance articles, resources and online courses, I’ve been called back to my personal domain for my in person services, workshops and for sharing my blog.

Actually, I’d like to use this blog for my inner journeying and messages, channelling, wisdom from my higher self, inspirations and contemplations. Spirit Direction has articles that are helpful in regards to guidance and healing so this blog is going to be a SHARING from my soul. I know these writings can be equally helpful, inspiring and contemplative for others.

I hope you enjoy my writings.
