Journey of the Light Worker

Yesterday the Australian government finally legalised marriage equality. That's a HUGE win for Australia and our beautiful LBGTI community. Whilst I am so extremely happy for my LBGTI friends and believe that this moment is a very good example of people coming together to effect massive change, when I reflect on what has happened for us to get here, and the actions of the people who were responsible for this (and by this I don't mean the people who voted YES, I mean the politicians), I get angry - I get really angry and it pisses me off to see the hypocrisy of the situation. For those who don't know, in order to get to this point, the Government put forward a plebiscite because the Government or the politicians did not have enough courage or balls to actually just made a the most obvious and fair call for the Australian people - whether marriage equality should be recognised. Because of this, the Australian Government spent about $122 million in asking the people of Austr...

Since my career change from being a lawyer to a massage therapist/energy healer in July, my life has been dramatically different. There have been so many ups and downs and I'm beginning to understand and have empathy more for parents and my friends who say "I just don't have enough time to be able to do my housework or cook". When I was a lawyer, I seriously could not understand how my friends couldn't organise their time effectively. I prided myself on being a very efficient person - I pretty much had a schedule that factored into account housework, cooking ,etc! However, moving into the unknown territory of being an entrepreneur, I wasn't exactly ready to be smacked in the face with a lot of lessons. For those who read this blog occasionally, you probably already know that I have learnt the lesson of being in the moment, or rather, being OK with not knowing what my days are going to be like from a work perspective. I have also learnt the lesson of being ...

I never really understood the extent of unhappiness seeping through Sydney until an incident 2 weeks ago and today. As someone who works with energies, I would quite rarely get glimpses of the "sentiment" around particular towns as I was driving through them but nowadays the sensitivity (or perhaps the work that I need to do on myself) is increasing and I can feel a lot more. A few weeks ago I was out at Double Bay for their fair. I was doing some work there for a few hours. Initially I was fine, and then I started to feel anxious. I didn't know what it was. Walking through Double Bay I began to find it so difficult to breathe I was almost panicking. My bf got us to the car quickly and took me back home but I still couldn't shake off the terrible feeling I was getting - that was until I went to the park and touched a tree. That tree saved me a lot of pain!  But I digress - what this experience made me realise was that people are bloody unhappy. Double Bay has a re...

Never underestimate the power of your intuition. As an energy healer, we are taught and ultimately must trust our intuition and how it speaks to us. It is through our intuition that we are able to pierce through the superficial issues that are presented to us in our clients and really be able to dive deeper to discover what the underlying issues are that give rise to what our client is currently experiencing. The biggest hurdle we face is to trust in that intuition - trust that gut feel. Many times our left brain likes to kick in and persuade us using logic that what we think we ought to do just does not make sense at all and for many of us, it's a constant struggle between left brain (logic) and right brain (intuitive) thinking. For me personally, when I am performing energy healing on others, it is easier for me to trust and be guided by my intuition. All of my experience working on clients has shown me that my intuition is spot on 98% of the time and so I am quite comfort...

It's been a while since my last post so apologies for that. Things have been a bit hectic with the studies and also with trying to figure out what to do to try to build up my business. To be honest the past month or so has been a big test of my character - not having any clients at my CBD clinic for a month was tough to go through, even tougher when my boyfriend was in another country and I couldn't lean on him for support like I usually would. However, it did teach me a number of things in terms of patience and also the great friends that I have (especially my "Witch Sister" for keeping me sane). The biggest lesson that I was taught however only dawned on me last week, and that is the lesson of gratitude. You all know in the New Age and spiritual circles there is a lot of talk about being grateful for things. Some people practice the art of keeping a gratitude diary or journal, or other people ensure that before they go to sleep or when they wake up, they list the ...

Today I went and watched Kingsman: Golden Circle at the movies. Prior to this, I have been avidly watching videos on Gaia about a variety of subjects - and one was around how movies contain certain subtle (or not so subtle) messages. A number of movies were discussed like Batman, Inception, 2001, MK Ultra, etc and Kingsman - the first movie. After this I was interested to see if I could pick up on subtle themes or messages from Kingsman: Golden Circle. For those who haven't seen it, I suggest that you stop reading this now and come back when you've watched it (although I will try to avoid spoilers as much as possible). Here are a few things I picked up from the movie that is currently playing out in the world (btw - this is my opinion only so if you don't agree that's fair enough): The War on Drugs: In the movie, the main "baddie" has laced drugs with a some sort of disease and this has spread to most people around the world. She gets the US president on...

A little over a week ago I attended a shamanic retreat in northern NSW. I didn't have much expectations going into it, and to be honest I actually had a very little understanding about what shamanism was all about! So in today's post I will try my best to explain shamanism based on my experience and perception. I believe that shamanism is a very old and traditional way of connecting with your spirit guides and the powers of nature in order to bring about healing for yourself or for other people. It's a technique that has a very long history and taps into knowledge that in this day and age, we have forgotten. We are so disconnected from nature and our ancestors that we do not know that they have so much untapped wisdom that can greatly help us. If you are to walk the path of a shaman or at least want to be a recipient of a healing that a shaman provides, be open to the fact that you will most likely undergo powerful shifts. It's not to be taken lightly. You ...

I have always been the type of person who wanted to understand why I acted in a particular way or why I had certain blockages around my body (e.g. sacral chakra and throat chakra) and over the past few months I had been trying to get to the bottom of these issues during my own personal meditation. Suffice to say that during my own personal meditation, I didn't get that much insight into what the blocks were. In fact, my arms would just start moving or I'd feel an energy shift and that would be it - none the more enlightened!  At the shamanic retreat that I went to, we did a number of things including healing past life issues and soul retrieval. During these sessions, I didn't really get any flashes of insight into what had happened to me previously. In fact, when my partner was doing the past life work on me, she told me where my main blockages were but when she asked my guides for more information about them, she wasn't given anything. Hmph! What I have now learnt ...

I've just come back from a week long shamanic retreat. That will be the subject of a separate post, but today I wanted to talk to you about loss.  As you know, I've recently been blogging about spirit guides and the like and many of you know of my spirit guide, Laughing Bull, the Native American Indian guide. For me, I had kind of ignored him for a long time (knowing that he was there), and one of the purposes of doing the retreat was to connect with him more fully. Well, the Universe had other plans. On Saturday we did a soul retrieval ceremony. During the entire ceremony I couldn't really see anything via my third eye - I could feel parts of me coming back but didn't necessarily know what the underlying traumatic event was to make them go away from me. At the close of that session, I finally got to see Laughing Bull - he had an animal coat on of some kind and had his back to me. He turned and look at me and disappeared - a part of me consciously knew that his time...

So I received a request on techniques or exercises to try to increase your psychic abilities. I'm pretty sure I've written about some of them before (e.g. using a pendulum, automatic writing, etc) but I will try to give some other examples as well. What I've found is that the most important thing to do before you actually want to try things out (like connect with your guides), is to center yourself . Centering yourself basically means bringing all of your attention into the present and being aware of you in your own body. There's a few ways to do this: Meditate (imagine for example the flower at your crown chakra opening up and roots extending from that flower into the light of Source and feel the energy come down through your chakra and rest in your heart. Similarly, focus on your feet and imagine roots planting your firmly into Mother Earth and draw the energy up from her into your feet and up your body and rest in your heart. Feel both simultaneously and then yo...

I'm currently taking a class whose main purpose is to assist us to develop our psychic senses. At the end of the day, I believe that we all have psychic senses - we were born with them completely open and the more we lived in this world, the more it shut off because of society. For example, did you guys ever have imaginary friends as a child or did you "see" things when you were a kid that other people couldn't and it just freaked you out? Or you kind of knew that there was tension between your parents and some other people but you couldn't figure out why?That's our psychic senses coming to the fore. And like with a lot of abilities, if you don't exercise them, you ain't gonna be that good at them (unless you're really gifted.. but that's another story)! So what are psychic abilities? The more I learn about this the more I think that being "psychic" is just about trusting your intuition. If you look around the web, you'll see th...

Today I achieved the Master Level for Seichim. I finished Seichim Level 1 back in May, and the reason I did it was pretty much because my "witch sister" sent me the link telling me she was doing it and my Higher Self told me to do it. And let's face it - if the Higher Self tells you to do it even though you have NOOO idea why, you do it. Anyway, after that time I had used the Seichim energy consciously sporadically and that was about it. A few months later however the thought came up about doing the Master level and once again, my Higher Self told me to do it and actually told me the date to do it on. That day was today. When I arrived, another lady had turned up before me. We were introduced to each other and made some small talk. The more she was talking, the more I was getting and inkling that she might actually be the energy teacher of my beautiful "witch sister"... so I summed up the courage to ask her and turns out that she WAS! I had head a LOT about ...

So it's been about 6 weeks since I said goodbye to the law and hello to being a massage therapist and an energy healer. I thought I'd just provide a quick update on where I'm at in that neck of the woods as the point of this blog was to document my own transition (with its ups and downs) and also focus on spiritual topics that have some sort of relevance to my own life. If I look back over the past 6 weeks, all I can say is that I feel very grateful. The pay isn't as great as being a lawyer, and it's been a significant dent in my paycheck actually, but I had set myself up so that I had some savings I could use and that would get me by in the first couple of months whilst I tried to find a new foundation for myself. The 6 weeks really has been about change and flexibility! Having gone from a job of 3 days work sitting in an office on my ass and 2 days of being at home with the occasional massage here and there, I've now landed myself in a position where I am ...
