Like you, I am shaped by my environment. The perfectly marvellous combination of transgenerational DNA and environmentally sourced wisdom, trauma and mastery coupled with influences from the cumulative experiences of 40 something years in this form. I’ve been blessed to have been raised by incredible parents, grandparents, siblings, a husband and two step children, a small country town, a public school education and Indigenous and rural people. The unique combination of a hungry spirit, aspiring intellect and the gift, given to me by my paternal Grandmother when I was born as she said out loud, for all to hear ‘she’s been here before’.
In a lot of the personal healing work I have been doing recently I noticed a pattern emerging that relates to safety..particularly around a need to be safe which has been outsourced to the ‘tribe’. There seems to be an assumption in our subconscious that the only way to be safe is when we…
I do love the song ‘never enough’ from the greatest showman except I also don’t like it as it’s a programming tool that keeps us in the loop for the ‘never enough’ syndrome that is RIFE in a scarcity oriented culture we are up against on a daily basis! I LOVE Brene Brown’s work in…
When you read the definition of guilt ‘the fact of having committed a specified or implied offense or crime’ OXFORD you would assume that guilt feelings would only belong to those who have done something ‘wrong’… But in my experience, the feelings of guilt come up frequently and most often for my clients when they…
I quit university after my second year and took off, much to the despair of my family, to the Northern Territory. My reason for quitting was not a lack of love for learning but that the requirements for proof of comprehension (tests and essays) left me baffled and, as I am both intelligent and…
Change is an inevitable part of life. Whether we like it or not, change will come knocking on our doors sooner or later. However, the question is, how do we react to it? Many of us resist change because we fear the unknown, we fear failure or we fear losing control. But the…
In the year I turned 40 my husband came into the house exclaiming there was a piglet in the chookpen… we were perplexed as to how this little one had found its way to our place – covered in the painful thorns from hudson pear, he was the size of a beer can and barely…
I’ve been exploring the pain of betrayal in the energy readings and healings that I’ve been doing lately and really seeing the small betrayals we carry out almost daily on ourselves in the form of broken promises, incompletion, living less than we expect of ourselves and from what I can tell, most of this behavior…
When I was a child I used to love to read the Berenstain Bears, a fun, adventurous children’s series that saw the overly enthusiastic Papa bear enter into all kinds of dangerous scenarios that the very wise Mama bear didn’t approve of but had the eager onlooking youngens intrigued and delighted – and very often,…
We are at war with a lot of aspects of our culture.. it’s so common in the mainstream media to read and hear and see headlines that speak to a war on something… terror, drugs, waste and yes, PAIN. And often the war feels justified – after all we genuinely want people to be…
I appreciate traveling away from home AND getting elevation, it always provides powerful perspective shifts that rattle my cells until they re-settle into a new way of being. I make it my priority to make the most of these experiences so the price paid by planet and people is worth it. As someone who lives…
