The answer to my prayers

Wow - this last week has been pretty powerful for me in terms of manifesting and having my prayers answered.

 As you know, last week I finally took heed of my "explore your options" message and got off my ass to see what other options I had in terms of my studies of the Diploma of Remedial Massage. This morning, I went to this new college to check it out. I had a really good chat with the careers guru and by the end of it, I had enrolled in the Diploma of Remedial Massage which starts on July 4!

 Let's rewind to my original prayer around this aspect. I wanted the following:

  1. To get my qualification of the Diploma ASAP;
  2. I wanted it to be at the right price;
  3. I wanted it to start pretty soon (my Cert IV Massage Therapy finishes in May so I was wanting to start the Diploma this year);
  4. I wanted the Diploma to be recognised by all private health insurance providers; 
  5. I wanted the full time study to be flexible enough so I could work at least 3 and a bit more days per week at my current job in order to keep the money coming in; and
  6. I want to work for the Sydney Swans in the future.
Now, this year, I had planned it to go out in this way:
  1. I would study the Diploma at the college that I was currently studying the Cert IV Massage Therapy course at;
  2. I would start the Diploma in June and this would go for 52 weeks full time so I'd be qualified by July 2017;
  3. I would have to do an extra module as part of the Diploma in order to be recognised by one of the main private health insurance providers in Australia;
  4. The Diploma would cost $10,000;
  5. Based on the current timetable, I was expecting to spend 4 days at the college and be working after hours at my current job; and
  6. I had absolutely no idea how I was going to work for the Swans.
Now, it shouldn't be a surprise that your prayers generally are not answered the way you EXPECT them to. Here's what happened to me:
  1. Over the weekend, I got a letter from my work telling me I had been awarded a bonus. Unexpected money - hooray! Mind you - the angels told me this was coming.
  2. When I went to the new college, I was told that their Diploma was approved by all private health insurance providers;
  3. The Diploma would start on 4 July 2016;
  4. My Diploma would have me qualified as a remedial massage therapist by the end of this year (YES, end of THIS year and not mid next year);
  5. The institute usually does not accept enrollments from people who haven't actually achieved the prerequisite qualification (ie. Cert IV Massage Therapy) but I got a special exemption from the coach;
  6. The Diploma intake is only limited to 16 people;
  7. My timetable was Wed and Thurs every week from 9am - 4pm which gives me 3 full days at my current job plus the flexibility that I can work another 6-7 hours after my studies on Wed/Thurs so I can get almost a 4 day work week in;
  8. Diploma cost was less than what I had budgeted and my bonus covers most of it (I just need to pay a little bit on top but I've now asked for the Universe to provide me with that money anyway hehehe) - oh and the career guru waived my $300 admin fee "because we had a really great chat"; and
  9. The institute has "career partners", one of which actually provides remedial massage services to the Sydney Swans!!!
HELLO?! You can't make this stuff up man! You have nooo idea how happy I am with how everything worked out - I mean, I will be a qualified remedial massage therapist at the end of this year! Not to mention the people at the institute seem so positive, so friendly and really motivated and that's the type of people I want to hang out with.

So the moral to the story is, if you want something, put it out there and be about what you want. Try not to set an expectation of HOW your prayer will be answered - just set it and then "let it go" (which btw was a lyric in a song that I've been playing in my head all day today haha and no it's not Frozen). Don't let your ego take over with the whole "But I don't deserve this" type of thing - at the end of the day, you do deserve it so go and grab it!

Happy manifesting peeps!

P.S. As a side note, I did make a mental thought a few months ago that I needed a new backpack because my one for the last couple of years is about to die. Guess what, the institute gave me a new backpack today too! Ha!

Your body is a temple - well not quite but close enough

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...

It pays to being open to receive

I would like this blog post to reiterate to you all the importance of being open to receive from the Universe, especially if you have asked the Universe for help. For me, the past week, I believe that this has been the main theme for me, especially as my reading from Angel Souls a few months back had advised me "to be open to suggestion" and to not be fixated on how I was going to achieve a certain outcome. Many of you know that I am a few weeks away from saying good bye to my law career and fully embracing my massage/healing career. For the months leading up to this stage, I was excited about what post-June would hold for me, but as I was coming into May, I was getting a lot more apprehensive about what I would be doing post-June as I hadn't really been proactively chasing any opportunities (and nothing really fell into my lap). You may recall a few months back I had applied for a massage job at a particular clinic that I could see would really lead me to achieve my ...

Seeing the positives from the negatives - it's a question of perspective

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...
