Journey of the Light Worker

Happy lovely morning everyone and I hope you are excited about the new year being just around the corner (i.e. tomorrow)! I've spent this morning doing card readings for a bunch of my friends giving them a general theme/message for the new year - every one of them have been on point so far and have been extremely positive. My personal message for the new year is abundance. Funny that because that's been a consistent theme for me for the past couple of days/weeks. The precise card from the Angel Tarot deck is Six of Earth - Gifts of money, time or effort. New career opportunities. Receiving a loan or paying off debts. It's an extremely positive card which spells out some really good things for me. For example, the new career opportunity I'm hoping will be something closer to "home" being closer to my path as a healer. I have also been looking at buying an investment property (yes yes I know... I'm about to change careers and how the heck can I afford an...

Ever since trying my hand at automatic handwriting a few days ago I've tried to practice once or twice every day. I find for me that it works as long as I switch off my mind and don't really try to control my hands, but obviously there are some times when I'm trying to interpret what is being written to no avail. I read on a few blogs about writing down questions and addressing it to whoever it is you want so that you can get the answers. I decided to do this yesterday and ended up getting some more scribbles and some letters here and there but they were difficult to interpret. So this morning, I decided to try it on a word processor instead. So I did my quick protection prayer this morning and sat down at the computer with hands on my keyboard waiting for something to happen. Slowly but surely, my hands began to move. First my left but then it seemed that my "higher self" (this is who I wanted to communicate with) preferred moving my right hand... so much so ...

I hope you had a wonderful Xmas break and had a lovely time spending it with your loved ones. For me it was just eating and eating and I'm sure I gained a few kilos :P For my family, we generally have a big Xmas eve feast and don't do much on Xmas itself. However this year, one of the Catholic priests (who's my dad's best friend) invited us down to his place for a Xmas lunch. There ended up being about 10 or so of us, my family, another family, the secretary and her two kids, a trainee priest, 2 students and 2 nuns. I've known the nuns for a number of years now... the first time I met them was were they came over to our family house years ago for a Xmas dinner that I had cooked. They're a bunch of great people with hilarious personalities. What I was grateful for however was when I told the nuns I was changing careers and was telling them what I was doing from the energetic healing perspective, they got it. In fact, they started talking about chakras, and sa...

Gratitude and my thanks It is important to express your gratitude for the even seemingly small things in your life because once you begin to appreciate and recognise them, the Universe will keep sending beautiful things your way. I keep forgetting every morning to express my gratitude for the day, but I definitely have it as part of my practice to give thanks before I go to bed for the things that happened during the day. If you're one of those people who struggle to figure out what to be grateful for, how about being grateful for the roof over your head, the fact that you can afford to eat food, the fact that you have a job, that you have children (or a dog or a pet), that you have a family or a partner who loves you, that you have friends who will support you no matter what or that you are alive? When you look at your life from this perspective, there are sooo many things to be grateful for every single day. For me, I want to say thank you to all of you guys. You support me...

There's so much to say so I thought I'd do a quick post on a bit of everything that I've done/learnt the past couple of days. Letting go of previous behaviours that no longer serve me As you know, I was brought up a Catholic. On Sunday, I made the first decision NOT to go to church. Why? I was partly hung over from the day before and couldn't drag myself out but also I just realised that a lot of what the church teaches doesn't resonate with me. Well, more like if I go to church I'm generally a drone sitting there thinking about other things and not really concentrating on the Gospel. At the end of the day, I'm beginning to have a better idea of the beliefs that I have (and of course I still believe in Jesus, Mary, the Saints, etc), but I'm becoming to realise that the Catholic "religion", like all religions, is an institution with certain rules laid down by who knows who and there is a lot of other stuff that they miss out on telling us. ...

Today I went to see the sports kinesiologist that had been recommended to me by my mentor. I think the best way to describe the experience of meeting her and chatting to her was pretty much mind blowing and absolutely phenomenal. When I first met her, she had a very "bloke-ish" aspect to her, and as the session went through it was quite clear why. All I can say is that she is an extremely amazing (and VERY powerful) person, and she pretty much says it like it is. Once she figured out that I was on my spiritual path and open to learning sorts of things, she opened up a lot and told me about what happened to her to make her confront the fact that she was a medium and she spoke a lot about her "power team", which are essentially her spiritual guides (being her deceased brothers, etc etc). One of the first things she did whilst talking to me was place her hand around my throat chakra because she saw that it was a bit off. She was talking to me and all of a sudden sh...

Ok I admit it, work has been a bit boring of late (not that I mind.... having some boring time is GREAT given the crazy year I've had), so I've been reading... reading lots of stuff. I thought I'd do a quick post on the Akashic Records. I can't remember exactly when I stumbled upon this "concept", but it's essentially a record of your soul's life, journey, learnings, past, present and future (yes future). The future obviously is based on your current state, and can be changed depending on your choice. When I say record, it's not like it's written on a piece of paper, it's more of an "etheric" concept that anyone can tap into, at any given time, provided you have the right intent and that you following the right steps to open access to it (including ensuring that you are protected). Everyone has their record and you could potentially access other people's records too but ensure that you have obtained consent. The Akashic Reco...

I have just spent the weekend in Melbourne learning a new technique called Applied Neural Skeletal Movement. It is essentially a technique that can identify via muscle testing miscommunication between the brain and areas of the body. It was a great weekend, and it turns out that my fears about being the most inexperienced student in the room were baseless as the people turned out to be really nice, the content put us all the same page and it really made me realise that there are sooo many natural and complementary modalities out there that can be used to make people healthier and happier. I was there with MM, and as always, MM was impressed the students and the lecturer with this knowledge. He seemed really excited about the new stuff, and we were practising the techniques on each other. We even managed to bypass a lot of the hands on swiping stuff by just "asking" the body - kinesiologists would understand this concept very well.  It was quite weird because everyone was ...

Today I went to see my crystal healer in order to try to make some sense about the emotions that I was going through at my work retreat last week. I had thought that a lot of it was to do with the haunted nature of the place, but after this morning, part of it was also because of what happened to me in one of my past lives (of which everyone has a few)! As some of you know, ever since focusing on my spiritual journey this year, I have become fascinated with past lives. Being a Catholic, it is a concept that is not even heard of - there is no such thing. However, the more I read about it, the more I know that the concept of past lives is true.  You can take various forms in your past life, and often the people who you know now and have an important role in your life were also with you in your past life. You are expected to learn different life lessons in each life, and the people you meet are part of that. One of the reasons why I went to the crystal healer earlier this year w...

It's been a relatively tough week for me. It started off with heading to Q Station out at Manly for a 3 day 2 night work retreat. For those who have never heard of Q Station (or Quarantine Station), it's a place that is situated on North Head Manly, and was where people were quarantined from the rest of the world if they were suspected of having contagious diseases. It's a gorgeous place to be - close but far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and a quick place to have a retreat. It is also famous for being haunted - apparently one of the most haunted places in Australia (great). Sunday started off fine with great weather and a quick dip at Quarantine beach. The vibe felt really peaceful and I seemed to be fine. Of course knowing about Q Station being haunted, I carried a number of crystals with me throughout the day - the main purpose was to be shielded and protected from the spirits.  On returning to my room after dinner, I settled myself into bed. Since I s...

I thought I'd take the opportunity today to use this post to congratulate everyone on how far they have come so far. Obviously by the law of attraction, I have been very fortunate to know a lot of people who have taken big steps towards what they want to really do with their lives. Whether it's to completely focus their efforts on pro-bono work, to taking steps to building a creative and arty business, to becoming a personal trainer, or like me, to become a massage therapist and energy healer - all of this meant that we all had to take positive steps towards our real desires. In relation to those particular people, I have noticed such a big shift in their attitude and how they now perceive obstacles, stress and difficulties - the shift has been incredibly positive and beautiful! I think it's true to say that once you view the world a bit differently and figure out what you want to do and where you want to be, making decisions about what you need to focus on becomes very v...

Today was my second last time at the student massage clinic. Next week will be my last for the trimester, and then a welcomed "break" <-- Not really a break, I'm going to a 2 day course in Melbourne in the 2nd weekend of December to further my skills in other areas and intend to use the next 3 months to read up on Anatomy Trains and Esoteric Anatomy - books that MM gave me months ago and I've barely touched the surface on. Anyway, I had two clients back to back this morning. At the end of each massage session, we seek feedback from the client. My first one wasn't the most complimentary, the second one was fine. When my supervisor told me that I had unfavorable feedback from a client, I had that shiver down my spine that I had referred to before. Essentially during the massage she kept asking me to apply more oil and then in her feedback she said that I could have gone faster on some areas of the body (fair point as I ended up missing her arms and neck). The t...

I admit it - today was a crap and challenging day. Anything that could go wrong, essentially did, and for me now looking back (and after a very good yoga session), I can now see it as a "challenge" to test how far I had come in terms of dealing with certain situations. I'll focus on the one example which really hit home how important it was to separate the emotion from the facts. Nearly two years ago, and all times before then, I was a very emotional person at work. If work was getting too tough for me or I was too stressed out, I'd break down and cry. I was always told I was very emotional and I had to take the emotion out of things and see it objectively. Obviously when you're not in the middle of all of the stuff happening to you, it's really easy to see that! When you are in the middle of it, it's a lot harder. I'm sure you're all nodding in agreement. So today I was in the middle of a meeting of work and then I started to see a flurry of e...

Yesterday I had the really good fortune of attending a seminar held by renown mystic and medical intuitive, Caroline Myss. I only read her best selling book, the Anatomy of the Spirit, a few months ago and thanks to synchronicity, managed to sign up to a rare seminar she was holding in Sydney. As jet lagged as she was, Caroline exhibited the most wicked sense of humour I've seen and also had a really great way of explaining spiritual concepts. There's so much to tell you (and so many quotes to share), but let me start with the one analogy that really resonated with me: your body is a building. Essentially, if we think about the building being an apartment block, you'll see that it has a number of levels. The building as a whole doesn't "move" per se, it's the inside of the building that does. Are you with me so far? So now think about the building having 10 levels. Anyone living in the building would have a different view of the world depending on wh...

This week has been a bit of a crazy week in terms of making big decisions and also learning more things. I am constantly challenged every single day to be a better person, and believe you me, some days are a lot harder than others! Today I caught myself creating a stupid assumption that a work mate was pissed off at me because I wasn't easily going to sign a document for him and got someone else in on the deal. Stupid huh but I'm sure you guys have been there and done that. So what else has happened? More avenues of healing have opened up to me. On Tuesday, I was massaging someone and when I was working on his glutes, I started to feel a circular and pulsing sensation underneath my fingers. Then as I was working on around his scapula area, he commented that he was feeling heat from my hands but the heat wasn't uncomfortable. What did I feel? I didn't feel any heat whatsoever and all I felt was a pulsing sensation - not circular like around the glutes. I was due to hav...

Today is a turning point I believe in my career. This morning I was chatting to a friend and another workmate in the kitchen and telling them about the snag I've hit in relation to the study of the Diploma of Remedial Massage. My workmate then said "You have to think about yourself first, not about this company. Do what's right for you". He then suggested that I consider the possibility of studying full time in order to fast track my transition. My instant reaction was "but I have a mortgage, etc" and he basically said "well you can work on the side - consider whether it's feasible to work for this company but in a contracting role and narrow the scope of the work you currently do". As soon as he said that, I started to seriously think about it, and if you know me, I start thinking about everything I will need to do in order to make that possibility a reality. So first thing was to email my former boss (who coincidentally came over last night...

With all of my previous posts of positivity and thinking in the right way, I wanted to give you an example that shows that it's not as easy to comply with all of my advice as you think it is! I'm the perfect example of a person who knows logically that the advice is sound but I let my own fears/worries get in the way. However, I also wanted to share that if you ever hit a "low" point, you need to know that the angels and ascended masters/spirit guides work even harder to get you to listen to their positive messages! On Saturday, at my usual massage clinic, I realised that if I wanted to study the Diploma of Remedial Massage, it was likely that I would have to do my remedial clinic on a weekday, which meant taking a few hours off work each week. Initially my reaction was "that's ok - this is doable" and I left it at that. But then on Sunday, I had a feeling that I had to look a bit more into how the recent changes to the diploma would impact me, so Sund...
