Limiting Beliefs and Stepping Up
I want to talk about the past few months. I have really been called to step up, no stone left unturned, and the flow of the universe has met and supported me completely.
I attended a Wharetangata Ora – Womb Massage Workshop here in Perth. Facilitated by the amazing Raukura Sayer, who travelled from New Zealand to demonstrate and facilitate this incredible sacred Maori / Lemurian modality.
From the moment this circled my consciousness, I knew it would be powerful and I knew I needed to be there. Due to timing and finances I didn’t know how I would get there, but I trusted that it would manifest if divinely intended. I had some very interesting experiences leading up to the workshop dates, and as I had hoped it all fell into place.
Experiencing and learning this powerful process was incredible. I had visions of doing this work from many, many lifetimes. Not only that, all of my training and healing over this lifetime seems to have all led me here, back to this work, my calling, my power.
Since then, I have offered some 15+ Womb Massages, each one has been transformational not only for my clients, but also for myself. A process, a journey and deep remembering of who we are, calling those parts back into ourselves. Becoming whole again.
One thing for sure is that it is completed, there is no going back and you are changed on all levels, including at a cellular and ancestral level. Clearing the path for those before you, and those yet to come.
I have been guided some four moons later, that my personal womb healing is complete. I now have complete access to the women through all stands of my DNA and ancestry, by simply calling their wisdom and their experiences into my womb space.
I have also begun working with one ancestor in particular on a deck of oracle cards. I am told these will be completed and for sale later in the year, so it seems I am going to be very busy!
In November, still hungry for learning, I enrolled in Emma Romano’s Family Freedom Protocol training. Holy shit!
Again, I knew this work would be powerful. I had come across one of Emma’s Facebook Live videos purely by chance and felt an instant connection to her and her passion for helping others thrive.
This modality adds another dimension to the mental/emotional/spiritual work that I have been offering for many years. It focuses on releasing emotional trauma, conditioned habits and limiting beliefs held deep in the subconscious, as well as energy healing and cleansing. And its benefits are INSTANT.
Emma’s teaching format requires that you go through the 15 step program, tod own your shit before taking anyone else through the process. Let me tell you, it gets in there. Into the murky corners of your psyche that love to blame and hold on to victim mentality. It is confronting and you have to be prepared to own your shit and step up into taking responsibility and action!
The limiting belief session was particularly powerful for me. It brought up the long held belief that I am a struggling single mother and that life is always going to be a little bit hard, and I am never going to be able to provide for my family. After going through this process and acknowledging where I have been in effect of this belief, and releasing it for good I had 3 new client enquiries, 7 client bookings and several online book orders within half an hour. Yes! Within 30 minutes, I was already seeing an incredible flow of energy and abundance!
I have been seeing regular clients using this fantastic modality to work on the mental/emotional/spiritual layers, and soon will be offering workshops and group sessions too.
That same night, after a year or more of visualising myself pulled into public speaking, I put out the call to the universe. If I am ready to use my voice for the collective evolution of consciousness, then I require an opportunity to reach more people. The next morning I received an email inviting me to join the long running News For The Soul radio broadcast!
As of 29th January, I will be broadcasting Together We Rise once a month at News for the Soul. The intention is to be a channel and conduit for reconnecting, remembering and reclaiming our power and divinity as we rise together in collective consciousness. I am so excited for this experience to kick off and witness its unfolding. I hope you will join me along the way by tuning in with your own questions and experiences.
These three examples that were woven into the final months of 2018 are an example of how the flow of energy works within our universe. When you are truly aligned to your calling and being of service. I have no idea where any of this will lead me, but I do have faith that it will guide me to wherever I need to be in order to honour my truth and purpose.
Being in alignment doesn’t mean that everything is suddenly perfect (what is that anyway?) I continue to be met with unforeseen challenges, stress and anxiety. What has changed is my ability to cope with it all. To know when to pull back, and when to charge full speed ahead.
Honouring the heartbeat of my life, the ups and the downs. Trusting that all is exactly as it needs to be, in order to experience and navigate my way through the lessons.
I am eternally grateful for your kindness, support and love over the weeks, months or years and I am here to walk this journey not for you, but with you…Together We Rise!
Women's Wellness
Why Women’s Wellness?
Women's Wellness?
It has been my focus over the past few months to really steer my work in the direction of my highest hopes and vision. Having had time to reflect on where my passion lies, and who I feel I am best able to help on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.
It has become very clear to me, that my purpose is to provide a safe and nurturing space for women to come to unravel, reconnect and remember who they are at their core. Reclaiming their power as whole beings once again, and sharing their flavour of truth with the world around them.
You will notice some changes in my website, as I bring my focus to this very intention. In fact, the premises for my clinic was previously a conception and birth centre, dedicated to the pre-natal care of women, right through antenatal and postnatal care. So the walls are already deeply connected to this divine feminine earthy energy.
Over the next month I will be officially adding Wharetangata Ora (Womb Massage) to the list of available services to women. This is a traditional Maori technique using massage, energy healing, sounding, herbs and vibrational medicines to reach deeply into the cellular memory. Triggering the release of trauma and wounding from this life, past lives and the lives of our maternal ancestors that is held within the base, sacral and solar plexus chakras.
It is an incredibly powerful modality, that will truly leave clients transformed, and it is an absolute honour to have been trained in this work.
I am part way through Reproductive Reflexology training with renowned English Fertility Reflexologist; Barbara Scott. Currently on the hunt for case study clients who are trying to conceive, or experience reproductive conditions such as; endometriosis, fibroids, irregular cycles, peri-menopause symptoms, menopause, painful menstruation, PCOS etc.
Please contact me should you wish to apply as a case study candidate, or if you would like more information. This is powerful work, that has been developed over the past 20+ years, and is backed by fascinating research and incredible testimonials.
I am focusing on programs for children too. The Kids Meditation Club kicked off this term, and has been received so beautifully by the children. They are really loving the storytelling and the relaxation as well as having a chance to express themselves fully. It has been especially wonderful for helping children with sensory needs too. Keep an eye out for more meditation, wand making and other workshops in the school holidays!
And what about the Men you ask? At this time, it is my focus to work with women and children, or couples who are trying to conceive. This is a personal decision based purely on the fact that I know women, and am able to offer a service of the highest standard for women. I know wonderful male therapists who are passionate and specialise in men's health, and I will happily refer our dear men onto those of the highest standard and integrity.
We now have the ability (thanks to the world of technology), to offer payment plans. This means that if you are interested in workshops or membership programs it is now more affordable than ever before!
I look forward to welcoming you into the clinic soon.
With love, Laura xxx
Modern Biohacking, Why I Need To Share...
When science and nature work together for the absolute best results!
Two months ago, one of my dearest friends shared something with me that she was desperate for me to try. Being that she is a senior nurse, I trust her with my life, and I agreed to give it a go. I am blown away with the results I have seen in my own health and as such, I now want to share it with anyone who will listen.
Although not unwell, I am often exhausted and manage chronic digestive inflammation and anxiety, as well as some arthritic pain. I had kind of surrendered to the fact that this is just how my body is, and naturally, as I get older, shits not going to work as well as it could. Wrong! For two months I have been taking one tablet in the morning and all of these conditions have improved. All…of…them!
My energy has been significantly sustained through the day, without having that real slump around 3pm. My digestive system has been much more regular (like clockwork in fact!) and I have had less bloating and pain. I am feeling generally less anxious and managing the day to day in a much gentler way. And even in these cold mornings, my joint pain has reduced to the point I haven’t needed any treatments or topical creams. Thank God I listened to my beautiful friend!
“So what is this magic pill?” you ask…
It is an NRF2 activator (an ABCD-what-ivator?) NRF2 is a powerful protein that is stored in every cell of our bodies. It lays dormant within the cell until it is activated with an NRF2 activator. It then works to eradicate free radicals within the cells by signalling the production of antioxidant enzymes to repair and rejuvenate the cells.
When our bodies are young and healthy, it is easy for our body to balance between the repair and rejuvenation process. As we age, or if the body is overcome by disease however, this balancing act can become disrupted. This is known as oxidative stress and is accompanied by the production of free radicals in the cells. Oxidative stress and the associated free radical damage contributes to the progression of hundreds of diseases such as; diabetes, atherosclerosis, inflammatory conditions, high blood pressure, heart disease, neurodegenerative diseases i.e.; Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, cancer and symptoms of ageing.
An NRF2 activator is essentially reversing the affects of oxidative stress and bringing your body back into balance and having an anti-aging affect too!
My absolute favourite thing about it, is that it is made up of five completely natural ingredients; milk thistle, bacopa, turmeric, ashwagandha and green tea. These have been formulated into a therapeutic dose that is going to hack your life at a cellular level. My inner herbalist could not be happier!
This NRF2 activator is also fully science backed with 24+ clinical studies on PubMed, and 2 human clinical trials. It is a truly amazing example of how science and nature can work together for best results.
If you would like to find out for yourself what it can do for you, or if you are a therapist and you know how amazing this could be for your clients, click on the link below or connect with me today. Lets be our best selves, living our best lives!
Believing is Seeing
You have probably heard this saying the other way around, seeing is believing, but this is outdated and simply untrue.
Believing is seeing.
You have probably heard this saying the other way around, seeing is believing, but this is outdated and simply untrue.
Waiting to see something first will likely keep you so focused on the outcome of your goal, that you will miss opportunities along the way. The twists and turns along the enchanted path, that are going to nourish your spirit on a much deeper level.
Being open minded, or at its best, open hearted is when you believe in the potential of the infinite opportunities around you and are therefore able to grasp more than you imagined and find the miracles in the unlikeliest of places, creating deep gratitude and understanding.
To believe, practice holding on to thoughts in your heart space and really imagine how it feels to already have and taste, touch, smell and experience. Do this as often as possible and watch how your reality begins to align with this belief, and you begin to see it presenting itself in the world around you.
It’s a way of taking action and responsibility in and for your own life. So many of us are just suspended in a state of habitual passive existence, waiting to see something or know all the answers first. Passing responsibility on to someone or something else, never truly owning your choices or taking action in life.
There is never a good time to make life changing choices or step out of your comfort zone, but the greatest growth comes from pushing that edge. Be it the new job, the new baby, the new home or the next step in a relationship, we are faced with our own discomfort and fears (judgement, failure, success, abandonment) that eventually force us to leap, or just stay the same.
We believed we could, so we did!
You can practice the art of believing/manifesting/altering your reality by focusing on smaller desired outcomes. For example; in the morning when you wake up, take a moment to hold on to the belief that you will have a great day. Hold the thought in your heart space, remember the last great day you had and feel it. Feel what you loved about it and bring that feeling into the present. I promise, even if everything does not go exactly your way, you will be able to tap into that good feeling and rise above any drama that unfolds. You may even notice how much easier it is to navigate challenges and problem solve from within this mindset, and what could have been experienced as a negative, might now present good new opportunities for you to harness, that would have been missed if you were caught up in the drama.
Maybe I am wrong, maybe I a right? I believe for now that I am right, and I believe in you.
A little of my story...
A little about how my path has led me to a career in holistic therapies.
Why Reflexology?
In March 2013, I was excited to learn that I was expecting my third child. Within the first 8 weeks of pregnancy, my body began releasing an overload of hormones to relax the ligaments in my pelvis, for my hips to accommodate the expansion of my womb. This caused a severe amount of chronic pain through my hips and sacrum, and for most of the pregnancy my hips and belly were strapped up and I struggled to walk without the aid of crutches. It was one of the most challenging experiences of my life, also having to care for a 3 and 2 year old, while their father worked away. I birthed my beautiful baby boy at home, and he was perfect in every way. I regained the ability to walk unaided almost immediately, however I suffered constant chronic hip and lower back pain, and very little seemed to help. Physiotherapy and Bowen Therapy, as well as some topical herbal anti-inflammatories would ease the pain for a short while, but never more than a day or so. Then I came across Reflexology and it changed my world! After just a few treatments, I was experiencing long lasting relief from the pain and inflammation I had suffered daily for over 2 years. Not only that, I experienced improvement in my mental health, sleep quality and digestive system too. The benefits of Reflexology truly speak for themselves and I have made it my mission now as a Clinical Reflexologist to focus my intention on helping as many others as possible.
Why Reiki / Energy Healing and Meditation?
As a child I always had the ability to see spirit, and spent many nights with the blankets over my head unable to sleep due to all the paranormal activity. It was my normal, and something I didn't discuss, as I just assumed it's how everyone experienced the world around them. Somewhere around 7 or 8 years old, I closed the door on the spiritual world and did anything I could to fit in with those around me. It wasn't until moving to Perth, Australia at age 12 that the door was flung open again due to the affect of hormones and the change in my energy. Very soon I was experiencing constant spirit presences, precognitive dreams and strange coincidences multiple times a day. I confided in my parents, who gratefully, were open minded and found me a mentor of sorts to help me understand the who/what/why. I was able to call upon her when I needed advice, or needed the spirit world to back off to be able to focus on schooling.
On completing school, I began sitting in a psychic development circle hosted by my mentor. For almost 10 years I met, sat with, confided in and held space with the most remarkable group of human beings. We laugh and we cried on a weekly basis, as we learned the process of unravelling through self healing, psychic development and mediumship. I am forever grateful for these incredible years of spiritual growth and the skills and understanding I learned.
Since then, I have continued my studies in the intuitive arts in between growing and raising my three children. I have hosted meditation groups and development workshops, I have trained to Reiki Master level, worked with nature and herbs, crystals and animals and directly with spirit guides and other dimensions to deepen my understanding. Having an awareness of spiritual process and an understanding of meditation are skills that I honestly couldn't function without. It is an honour to offer these skills and share them with those who feel drawn to healing and/or their own personal development in whatever form that may be.
I am always in awe of the way our life experiences shape our future, and our choices and even how that goes on to affect everyone around us. I am grateful for all of the experiences that have led me to this exact moment, and I am hungry for a life that continues to be filled with more learning and adventure eventually becoming the shape of my future.

The Strength of a Woman
We are the Midwives. The strong ones. The wise ones. We are the bringers of life and the custodians of death. Our gift. Our curse.
Today I am searching for an answer, a conclusion in this time of New Moon, to what has felt like a battle of chaos and confusion. Longing for understanding from a place of unravel and heaviness. A time of quiet reflection and processing.
Interesting, I began finding solace in my own words. Drawn to pick up my book and read the passage Spiritual Midwives;
[Women] We remain focused and unswayed.
We are the keepers of truths
Stored deeply within the folds
Of our collective womb,
Accessible each time we vibrate
In accordance with her frequency.
A reminder that Women are chosen as the portal, the bridge between worlds, the bringers of life because we are the only vessel strong enough to stay the course. The only container equipped to survive the life-threatening process, time after time. The only being powerful enough to remain in their grace, whilst expanding and holding the depth of love required to maintain the selfless act of creation.
But with this great power and responsibility, we are also the only beings strong enough to hold death. Each month, as is reflected with the moon, when the potential of life is not fulfilled nor possible, we are the ones here to hold space for that death as it slowly and painfully crumbles away the lining of our womb. Grieving what could have been. Grieving our right to create and to nurture. Grieving a loss that was never ours to keep.
And as we expand in life and growth, we too expand our capacity to hold death and grief. This is where wisdom is born. A seed of understanding created somewhere in between the lightest and the darkest of our experiences.
We are the Midwives. The strong ones. The wise ones. We are the bringers of life and the custodians of death. Our gift. Our curse.
The Heart’s Capacity for Love
A lesson in love sparked by the kindness of my children.
I was woken up this morning with breakfast in bed. Such a beautiful way to start the day, little pieces of strawberry, cucumber, celery and grapes chopped ever so carefully and displayed strategically over the plate.
I got out of bed and was amazed to find that the dishes were done and the lunches were made! The usual mad school morning rush had already been halved and I hadn’t lifted a finger.
It got me thinking about the children I have brought into this world, and how they are being raised. Three unique individuals, who at such a young age, at their very core have deep empathy and a natural desire to love and care for others and receive joy from selfless giving.
Today I got to experience their hearts in full bloom, and I could not be more in love with them!
I remember the overwhelming rush of love I felt for my first son as he wriggled his way into that special place on my chest. My heart was full, or so I thought! During my second pregnancy, I felt fear rising within me as my belly grew. I was worried about having to take some love away from my son in order to have enough for the this new baby…my heart was already at capacity.
Sure enough, the day came, and like her brother, my baby girl squeezed her way into my arms and into that special place on my chest. The love was unlike anything I had ever felt, I now had two beautiful babies, and my heart space grew to accommodate. There was enough love for everyone!
I learned in these moments, that the heart can never reach capacity, if one is open to love. It simply continues to expand, allowing more and more love to flow in and out to those we share intimacy with, and even those who are not necessarily close to us. There is enough love for everyone!
We breathe in the love, we expand our heart, and so the cycle continues.
I became excited about birthing my third child. I longed for that almost physical experience of the heart’s expansion as I welcomed him earthside. That fear had been healed, as I had experienced this process before, and had an understanding of how the heart works, and it is infinite potential.
Accepting that love is possible in all forms, simply because I have a beating heart. Parental love, romantic love, familial love, friendships etc…there is enough love for everyone and I will continue to expand until the day I die.
Our love is the infinite, suspended within the finite edges of our beating hearts.
With love xx
Meet Merlin
Meet Merlin the magical black cat!
Meet Merlin. The incredibly handsome fluff ball I am grateful to share my home with for the past three years.
He is an amazing room and energy cleanser, and always turns up when I am working in sacred space for Group Distance Healing, and other events. I will literally be setting up the space and he appears from nowhere, or I hear him tapping on the door to get in. Always ready to work!
I have had many cats through out my life, my first, Buttersnap came home with us when I was 4, and I have a love of these beautiful creatures ever since. Merlin is perhaps, the most snuggly and powerful, living up to his namesake. He also has a fabulous cattitude (see what I did there?) and he doesn't take any shit. I appreciate this common expression from the feline community; clear boundaries and honesty about how they feel!
Our bond has certainly grown over the years, and I enjoy having him as my right hand man whenever I work with the spirit world. There is a beautiful partnership and trust between us, and I know he is more than capable of holding a protective space.
His voice actually debut's on my very first Group Distance Healing recording, which is now available for download (click the button below!) You here him stretching and meowing in the last few moments as I bring the meditation to a close and ask for awareness to come back into the body. His timing could not be more perfect!
I have been hosting the Group Distance Healings now for approximately two years, and the power and depth of these is growing exponentially. The feedback that I receive after each session continues to blow my mind, and I am committed to providing an honest, clear, powerful healing experience for all who wish to be placed on the list.
Now guided to offer these healings as a downloadable audio file that can be purchased at any time, to sit any time anywhere, I am sure they will continue to grow in power and reach the wider global community as is intended.
Thank you to all who have and will trust me in future to hold sacred space for distance healing, it is an honour and a privilege to offer this service. I am grateful to be able to do what I love.
With love, L xxx
How To Fine Tune Your Intuition
Simple daily ideas and tips for developing your intuition.
Today I'd like to share some tips on how to fine tune your intuition.
Just like when learning any new skills, the key to developing and harnessing the potential of your intuition and psychic ability is discipline and practice.
Create a sacred space
A sacred space can be a comfortable spot in your home or a quiet spot in nature. My sacred space typically hosts crystals, cards, candles, runes, incense, orgham sticks, fairies, a singing bowl, sage and abalone shell, red cockatoo feathers, a skull and menstrual blood. It changes weekly to suit rituals or intentions that are present.
A sacred space for you could also be a gathering with a community, such as a psychic development circle, on a regular basis. Only commit within your means, so that you are more likely to continue with the practice. Once the discipline integrates into your lifestyle, you can add in another element and gently build your focus to a level that feels right for you.
Meditate
Start with ten minutes of meditation each day, and then build to thirty minutes over time. Meditation practice helps you to hear your inner voice and strengthens your connection to your higher self and spirit. Just a few minutes a day can bring a sense of calm, focus and grounding to your day.
In my meditation practice, I always use 'white lighting' technique to help quiet my mind. I imagine either a star above my head that showers me and everything in white light, or I imagine the points of light expanding from my heart and then around my whole body until I am just made of light. This then expands out and into the rest of the world.
Next, I imagine roots from my feet anchoring me into the earth and thank the mother and the fairies for their wisdom, and imagine my crown opening and connecting up into the cosmos, thanking starbeings, guides and other spirit for their wisdom.
Lastly I focus all energy on expanding my heart and the journey unravels as required. Messages, images, symbols and spirit will come through.
Expand
Once you feel ready to add other elements to your lifestyle, consider some other activities to help fine tune your intuition and meet like-minded people to share in your journey. It could be a yoga class once a week, or a monthly spiritual development workshop.
When I was 13 years old I became hypersensitive to the unseen realm. I spent nights wide awake, talking with spirit presences or experiencing precognitive dreams about events days before they happened. My energy was so concentrated at times that lights would flicker and electronic devices would falter in my presence. I felt out of control and did not know how to deal with the world around me. Fortunately, my parents were incredibly open-minded and
understanding. They were referred to a psychic medium through a local spiritualist church for me to talk with. This woman would become an incredibly important influence in my life. She provided understanding and mindful tools to ground and protect myself, and to switch off when I needed to. I kept in contact with her for many years, and shortly after graduating high school, I began sitting in her psychic development circle.
The key is to find what is driving your passion and development and work with it, so that it can unfold organically, as opposed to being projected and forced into a completely new way of being. This will create resistance presenting as self-sabotage or victim archetype, and may cause more harm than good.
Be aware that as you embark on the journey to understanding yourself on a deep level and tuning in to subtle vibrations, that you may find yourself becoming increasingly sensitive to the world around you. This is because any dis-ease (physical disease, but also emotional traumas) is being reflected back to you for acknowledgement and healing, to clear your pathway to truth.
I'd love to hear where you are at in your journey, if you have any questions, or if you'd like me to expand on any of these tips. Please leave a comment below.
With Love,
Laura
How Do Integrate My Higher Self Without Being A Weirdo?
Taking the leap of faith to live in your own truth, and follow your own path can feel extremely vulnerable. Is there a way of doing it gently?
How do I begin to integrate my higher self into this life without looking like a weirdo?
Good question.
You can’t! Once you dive into the great waters of self development and spiritual exploration, others will begin questioning your sanity, as much as you have begun to question your own.
In the process of becoming who you have always been, you will appear different to others, you will lose friends and old habits. Mindsets and possessions that you no longer need will start to crumble away. It is the great unraveling, stripping you back to that beautiful sparkle at the very nature of your being. It is no thing to fear, it just is. It is terrifying and exciting and most definitely addictive once you dip your toe into the water and begin to understand the delicate blueprint of your hearts truth.
But, just as everything in nature is balanced, so too is your awakening! For every challenge you encounter (which of course is just an opportunity for growth and healing) you will be offered new friendships, soul connections and opportunities to harness your highest potential in abundance and skills to love and accept yourself in wholeness.
You will feel compelled to share your excitement and enthusiasm with others, and you will be mocked. You will want to tell everyone how much you love them and how fucking incredibly grateful you are to have them in your life, and they may take a step back because you are too much.
You will begin to feel more connected to everything around you than ever before, and yet more alone than you have felt in your life.
Your ego will be tested again and again, until you understand that this flesh pocket we inhabit in this earthly life, is nothing but a vessel, a navigation tool to unlock the experiences necessary for the growth and evolution we hope to accomplish on this journey.
Once seen, you can no longer unsee. Trust me though, it is all worth it. You are no longer trying, you just are! And you are such a fucking ray of sunshine and hope on our little green and blue planet. You are the one you’ve been waiting for. Shine your sparkle and love hard!
Spiritual But Funny As F**k
Following a spiritual path doesn't have to be serious all of the time. Find out how humour serves as a way to seed joy in every day, when maintaining healing and spiritual process.
One thing I have learned through the years of peeling back the layers, in all the dark corners of my psyche, there is a common medicine that helps to overcome it all, make way for truth and shine more light.
Good old fashioned laughter! Literally, I start feeling depressed if I don't get a healthy daily dose of the funnies. Sarcasm…check! Toilet humour…check! Sexual innuendos (in your end-o)…Puns…Dad Jokes…check check check! If there is a joke (especially if it comes with shock factor) you can guarantee I am there, front row and centre.
It is my belief that humour is such an integral tool in my life and personal development for many reasons. Firstly, in my years of working through spiritual process, the way to change old habits is to feel into it, acknowledge the ‘who what and why’, and then release it for transmutation and healing. Releasing can be done in a number of ways including a big emotional release, or some mind exercises (eg imagine severing cords to the old relationship or habit that no longer serves you), assistance from alternative therapies such as flower essences, body work etc, or a combination of these.
Often after a release, our energy takes some time to shuffle around, recalibrate and integrate our new way of being. It can feel sometimes like there are little holes within our makeup, and the world can seem overwhelming or unfamiliar while the dust settles. Cementing new positive habits in those old worn out spaces with joy, will assist in create that new foundation for the path you are on, and the simplest way to achieve a state of joy, is through laughter.
As a typical Aquarian, most of the time without realizing, I can appear a bit aloof. My mind is always wandering off into the clouds. A dreamer and over-thinker on a global scale. The chatter rarely stops, and even if I am standing in one place, my mind is likely in several at once. Humour and laughter helps me to reintegrate into my body and be more grounded, in a gentle and fun way, and eases the heaviness of what it feels to be human, allowing moments for connection and inspiration to remain good and positive.
I am also curious about how we connect and interact as human beings. Lightheartedness and laughter is a simple way to make friends, or in some cases scare people off (They are not your people)!
I feel like sometimes when we dive into a spiritual journey or calling, we forget that we are still here to have a human experience and enjoy ourselves. I have known many who've been caught in a game of ‘who is more spiritual than who’, which becomes a freakish display of battling egos, full of judgement and façade as they compete for the most likes on social media. (It can also be hilarious!)
My advice would be, not to take yourself so seriously. Don’t try to be a Guru or expert, just be yourself. Those who resonate will find you, and you will be enough. You are always enough. The very fact that you can feel you heart beating through your chest, knowing you are alive, means that you matter, just as you are, without the needing to be anything different. We are all on our own journey and there is more than enough room for each to be their own unique piece of the puzzle.
And so with love and giggles, I invite you to fart on someone’s head and have a good laugh about it, until next time. xxx
Communicating with the Spirit World
Insight into the mechanics of communicating with the spirit world.
I often get asked ‘how’ I receive messages from the universe or spirit world.
The answer is fluid and open to interpretation, it cannot be defined or backed by a scientific formula to validate my experiences for you. Simply because I work with natural and etheric cycles, which exist based on alchemic formulas, not scientific.
It’s like trying to explain to someone how cars work by giving you a bowl of fruit. Not the same, therefore no matter how long I ask you to examine the bowl of fruit, you will never learn the mechanics of a car?
So... nature, the universe, the spirit world (insert what resonates best here) communicate with me (bearing in mind I can only share based on my own personal experiences, and understand that it varies greatly for others. There is no right or wrong. We feel what we feel) using subtle symbols. And the more one sits in the discipline and practices, the more natural it becomes to receive and decipher messages.
In matters of my own personal development, I find that the symbols will start off very subtle, gently supporting the physical reality. If I miss opportunity for acknowledgement the symbols build and build until it becomes like a lesson in life slapping you in the face.
Another noteworthy point is that intuition always feels good…that is, when you ask yourself a question and tune in, your intuition always answers with a positive feeling.
For example, “Should I sell my car?”…your intuition (or gut) will feel at ease and good if selling your car is best for you at this time. If you get uneasy feeling, you can rephrase the question to sense the alternate response; “Should I keep my car?”…if the gut feeling is positive and at ease, then you are telling yourself that for now it is best to hold on to the car. Judging what feels good or not good to do, becomes easier with practice too!
Another form of communication I enjoy is through the animal kingdom. For example, a butterfly lands on your hand out of nowhere and sits there calmly, drawing your attention. You can tune in to the energy of the butterfly (or search one of the many great animal totem blog sites) and you feel that the butterfly is symbolic of transformation in a particular area of your life, career, love life etc. If you are open to this, you will begin to see animals showing up physically, digitally or in dreams.
Recently, I had an experience where I felt someone was being dishonest with me. I couldn’t quite put my finger on the details (and often the details are not necessary until we are offered the gift of hindsight), but my intuition told me that things were not as they appeared. One night, I had a very vivid dream where myself and a group of friends were sitting around a fire and all of a sudden an ocelot walked through the middle of the camp. It was unusual, and I woke up thinking about ocelots. Out of all the big cats, I can honestly say that ocelots are not up there in my conscious mind's top five. So, I search for this animal totem on my phone (as you do!) and am shocked to read that ocelot appears when someone is not being honest or doing things behind your back etc… So for me, this was the confirmation and forewarning that I needed to protect my integrity by not reacting and becoming either the bully or the victim once the truth unfolded. About a week later, it did bubble to the surface, but because I had processed the emotions, I was able to respond mindfully and not react like an asshole (which would only cause more healing work for me down the track).
That is just one personal example of how messages are able to be received when I am free flowing and aware of what is around me, and how it can be a useful tool to monitor and maintain an gentle space within and not get caught up in the drama of experiences and circumstances.
I welcome you to share your own stories, or ask me deeper questions regarding my personal experiences and understanding.
