Journey of the Light Worker

As I sit down to write this I looked at an Angel tarot card that I pulled for myself today. It was the King of Earth, and the words that resonated with me were "The Midas touch" which, funnily enough, was what I decided to have as the title of this post before I checked the card! Having the Midas touch, or "Divine magic" has been the message for me from my angels this week. As with a lot of cards, I didn't know what it meant at the time, but as this week is slowly unfolding, I am beginning to experience its effects! This week, I got a second SMS from my college offering a 10% discount off the fees for my diploma. I decided to get off my ass and phone them up to see whether I was eligible. The catch was that I had to pay it upfront now and that the offer wasn't going to be valid when I was initially planning to pay it off (i.e. 1 July - this was solely for tax reasons). I then decided to consult my dear friend who is a finance expert, who told me to take ...

Today I finally made it out to see the Gyuto monks of Tibet out at Bondi Pavillion. A month ago the pamphlet had landed in my letterbox at home announcing that they were coming to Sydney, and then my heart fell when I realised that my schedule was packed and I didn't think I could make it. I realised last week that I was actually free today so made sure I didn't book anything in so I could go out to see them. I didn't know why I had to go and see them, but I had a big feeling that I had to - there was something pushing me in that direction so I hopped on a bus and ended up at Bondi at lunchtime. I attended a seminar on forgiveness. The head monk is a very funny guy, and whilst he didn't speak that much English, he got his point across and always had a cheeky smile on his face. He basically said that the meaning of life was "42" and went on to explain that it basically meant that what one does affects at least 2 people - i.e. "for two". He also sa...

This week it seems like I'm on a roll with posts. Things are going incredibly fast, which is hilarious because the other week I was complaining about feeling stagnant and not going anywhere fast! So for this post, I wanted to say that even though we might be in a "rut", we always have to trust that the Universe has our back - even though we don't necessarily see how it has our back at this point in time. The messages I received from my guides and angels over the past week was "Don't give up hope right now because the answer to your prayers is just around the corner, even though you can't see it" and "Trust in Divine timing". Then this week, suddenly I felt an urgency to get things done - sort out my business name, sort out my finances, get my domain name, get my business name registered, announce to the world that it's time I started charging for my massages/healing sessions, etc. Today cemented the fact that the Universe does ind...

Today I had lunch with a dear friend of mine and as usual we end up talking about "spiritual" topics. In terms of "spiritual" however, it's more of the "self improvement" and "change of way of living" rather than the angels, spirits, energy, etc  During our chat, she asked whether I could do a blog post about how I seem to be able to achieve a balance between work, social life and study. It's funny how things appear depending on how it is perceived! To her, I manage to balance my life pretty well. To me, sometimes I feel like I've got way too much on my plate and running around like a mad woman! I.e. too many things to do and so little time! The only real advice I can give you guys about achieving this "balance" is about setting your boundaries and expectations straight. As we should know by now, we create our own realities. If things seem to be out of balance, it's because we've made it that way (whether that is...

Over the past week or so I've been relatively impatient with life in terms of wanting to get stuff moving for my new career and my business. Having now heeded the "impulses" to do certain things, I'm pretty proud of what I have achieved over the past 3 days: Had a quick brainstorming session and came up with the name of my new business; Did relevant searches to see whether the "finalist" business name was available for registration; Registered my business name; Applied to register my domain name; Started a conversation with various people about finding people to design the logo of my business;  Started thinking about my website a bit more;  Figured out what broadband deal I am going to go with; and Made the decision that future massage or healing sessions that I provide to my friends will be charged! No more "donations" or freebies! Now let's look at the synchronicities that led me to get all of the above done in the space of 3 d...

Ugh. It's April and 'tis the time for bills apparently. Usually when this time came around I'd be fine, but with a growing amount of expenditure coming up for me this year, I have to admit that it's made me a bit nervous around my financial situation. The whole point of this blog is to tell you about what's going on in my life - where my head is at a point in time, and my journey from corporate lawyer to massage therapist/energy healer. Obviously whilst I will write about the good things, it seems unfair and against my ethics to not write about the crap that I feel as well because we all have these doubts! Whilst I'm excited of the pending change in my career choices in the next 2 months or so, I can't help but feel a bit worried about what is in store for me in terms of the monetary side of things, and also about the "how am I going to do this transition"? Add to that the impatience of "Can I just do it already because I'm really sick...

I have largely ignored mainstream news for a while apart from watching about 20 mins of Sunrise on the TV when I wake up in the morning - mainly to provide me with some background noise whilst I get ready (and to hear the codeword for the Cashcow that I hope to win someday ;p). Over lunch this week with some of my workmates (we can have some very interesting points of view and discussion over lunch at work), we were talking about the whole fracas around 60 minutes and the Lebanon kidnapping and touched a bit on the poor baby girl who was killed by her mother in Victoria a few weeks ago. What is evident is that the news that we hear doesn't necessarily tell us the entire story - it is spun in a way which creates fear or some other emotional reaction - all for the sake of raising the viewership which leads to more money as advertisers flock to those stations to cut an advertising deal. The other thing that is evident is the amazing fact that people are happy to just 'soak...

This week I spent the 5 working days studying the first component of a myofascial release and craniosacral therapy course. To be honest, I didn't know what to expect going in, and I certainly didn't expect to undergo a lot of release and meet some very like minded people - I probably speak for all of the students there when it comes to that! So let's start at the beginning. When I walked into the classroom, I was a bit apprehensive about the type of people who would be studying it. In fact, I thought I would be the most "fresh" out of the bunch, because I'm finishing off my Cert IV however I was pleasantly surprised that some of the other students were in the same boat as me. Others had finished their diploma of remedial massage, and some others were currently practicing - either as bowen, myofascial  or massage therapists, energy healers and reiki practitioners.  It is very funny how "like attracts like". Straight away I was drawn to a sports ki...
