When we meet the direct experience of each moment, and surrender completely into it without agenda,  we drop into a non-dual experience. No little me separate from my experience.  Here we become merged, or 'one' with the moment, completely surrendered in it.  That is a state of grace, and that is where healing happens.  In this moment, all that is not true dissolves. For many years I resisted doing 'healing' work.  Some part of me knew that it wasn't me that healed, and I was truly scared of 'my ego' taking on another identity 'the healer' which held the responsibility of healing someone else. Finally the call was very strong and I realized that my very own salvation required that I step toward this work.  I learned the hard way how the power to heal was not 'mine' and that I should remain unattached to an outcome to heal anyone.  Now it is easy, as 'I' don't need to do anything.  Anything I might do, would be in the way.

When we move Awareness to the Heart, we literally transform our life, our relationships and the way we perceive the world. Begin or continue the journey to discover ‘who you are’! When we move our Awareness to our belly/womb we connect with the force of nature herself, the divine feminine, where we can rest and be and all that is required becomes manifest to support us. When we become whole we integrate love and power to serve the world through our minds where the full alignment of ‘thoughts, words and actions’ is the completion of the soul’s journey into the human form.   When we speak or act from this place we have the support of the whole Universe:  Indeed  Heaven on Earth. Bali for me is a magical place where the feminine energy is strong, and manifestation and magical synchronicity abounds.  What better place to do this exploration together, within our  own beings and out there… in Ubud. Join me for 10 magical days on a ‘do it yourself retreat’.  Half [...]

Stop, breathe, connect to yourself... becoming busy to avoid this is only going to make it worse; your soul is calling, it has something to tell you, and you are not listening.... The glamorization of busy is an epidemic in our modern world. Overwhelm is inherently a lack of integration in our nervous system. The cause is likely to be a blend of unresolved past experiences, trauma, something you are not attending to because you haven’t felt all the feelings that would integrate the nervous system. You are stuck unwilling to take a step and make a change. You are also disconnected from your soul. The material behind overwhelm is something your soul is calling you to attend to. Unattended, it runs, or ruins, your life. Integrated it reconnects you to your soul’s purpose and a state of well-being. Overwhelm is an opportunity! Most people, who feel overwhelmed, tend to keep going, keep pushing, they get busier until… they can’t. With overwhelm, it is like the list of things to [...]

Everyone is empathic, some overly so, and others are not even aware of it. It is a matter of degree. There are many articles written on the traits of an empath, however, I have yet to find one that shows how to transform these traits into a powerful gift. Being empathic means we are aware of subconscious, and unconscious information and often neurologically wired to use that awareness to create safety. I have met and worked with many empaths.  Many empaths end up as healers, as did I (for a time).   I am also an empath who has been on my own profound journey with both the challenges and gifts that this experience provides. Often I hear from empaths that they feel 'other people's stuff'.  It sure can seem that way.  However as we do our own inner work, of reclaiming ourselves and discerning what we are responsible, we may come to find out that what we are feeling in our system, is not actually anyone elses stuff, rather [...]

Pain is transmitting a message of danger.  It's really here to protect you.  However, it may not actually be 'real', or rather it may not be related specifically to just the biology of what is happening right now. The biology is transmitting a message to the brain for evaluation, this happens really quickly, and if anything similar has happened before the information of the past is included to evaluate the possible danger in the present.  This means that pain is actually also about meaning, and thus the intensity of  the pain you feel can be directly related to past experiences.    If we can access the pain through a different perceptual reality, not connected to past experience, or heal the past experience, we may be able to find the gift of pain.  The piece that can let you reclaim your soul back from the past.  Herein lies a a lot of potential... and some of the potential maybe to heal the pain completely. An attitude of openness, 'not knowing' and [...]

Everyone is empathic to one degree or another. I am focusing on those who are challenged by it, either by being overwhelmed, or drained.  Being empathic generally means we are sensing and feeling other people's pain (emotional, mental, physical). However, what most people don't realize is that their pain is resonating with our own unresolved pain inside us.  There is an energetic resonance between our own hidden pain, that is hooking us up to the pain of the person we are empathically aware of. This situation is a kind of neurological wiring which is based on situations when we have not been able to stay present when something painful happened; emotionally, physically or mentally.  Either that or perhaps as small children, a parent isn't supportive when you are in pain, or perhaps they are not willing to hear your expression of it.   There is a lack of presence, yours, or your parents when you were very young.  Instead of feeling and expressing what is going on, we are 'taught' to [...]
