Trauma and the concept of self acceptance

Yesterday my bf and I were at the site of an accident where a taxi hit a girl on a very busy road in the middle of the Sydney CBD. It happened to be a day when my bf was free in the morning to walk me to work, and we had been delayed in getting to our ultimate destination because we ended up *just* missing all of the traffic lights! What happened was this - we didn't witness the accident, but we heard the awful "crash" from behind us. It was one of those noises that your brain immediately associates with "this is not good". In the moment both of us spun around instantly, saw the body on the road and ran to her. The initial thoughts running through our minds were "omg omg omg" and adrenaline was kicking in - the typical fight or flight (or perhaps even known as the frozen) response. In that moment both of us froze. For my bf his mind was running at a million miles per hour figuring out what next to do whereas my initial utterance was "is she ok...

Essential oils

I've recently been dabbling in essential oils. From my perspective, something that is natural is better than something that is full of chemicals and I've wanted to see what essential oils were all about. How did I get into it? I just kind of fell into it I guess. One of the students in my Diploma of Remedial Massage course had studied aromatherapy and used a number of essential oils whilst massaging us in the student clinic. She had also prepared for me an oil blend to help me sleep - the blend didn't really work for me but I was definitely grateful that she let me have a bit of a taste of what essential oils were like. Around the Xmas break, I was at my parents place and found that a guy named Dr Axe was putting on a free seminar on essential oils. Did you say free? Sign me up! Anyway, suffice to say I came out of that with a list of around 8 oils to get so I promptly headed to Australian Wholesale Oils (who my friend from the diploma referred me to). I received the oi...

Talking to your higher self

Welcome back from Easter everyone and I hope you all had a great time with your family and loved ones. In this post I wanted to tell you about my encounter with my higher self. I had booked in a personal development session (or a soul session) with my Seichim instructor and after a couple of rescheduling issues, we managed to have it a few days ago. To be honest I had no idea what to expect - for me initially I wanted to learn more about what my instructor has said when she felt I was a multidimensional gateway and I wanted to learn about lizard people (or reptilian people), but the session to my surprise went down another avenue and that was fine with me. Essentially after we did an initial meditation where I connected with my heart, my higher self and the Universal energy, she began to channel my higher self! Yea I know, it was like you were talking to yourself! Later when I look back it's almost like you were chatting to the little voice over your right shoulder that tells y...

A beautiful story about death

Happy Easter everyone! Over here in Australia it's Easter Saturday, and around this time we tend to focus on the death and resurrection of Jesus. Now this post won't be all religious-y - I merely wanted the topic of death and new life to be the topic of this blog post :) If you're a follower of my blog, you would have known that a few posts back, a beautiful friend of mine had told me that she was pregnant. She was in the very early stages of the pregnancy so wasn't sure whether she would carry the baby through to full term given all of her complications but if she did, she was totally down for that. Last week, she suffered a miscarriage. She later told me and my boyfriend the events leading up to the miscarriage, and I have to really commend her for being able to talk to us about it when the grief would still have been quite raw. However, her story is a really beautiful one, and I've been compelled to tell you about it. My friend is an energy healer (amongst ...

The theme of letting go continues

A few days after my last post I received my reading from Angel Souls 444. One of the main messages that was coming through from the angels was that I needed to let go of control - more so letting go of the need to outline exactly how I was going to get certain things, or even more broadly, whether I would be able to get what I *thought* was great for me given that the Universe apparently has some other plans for me which are bigger and better than what I wanted. So setting aside that particular part of the reading, I had that lesson slapped in my face over the weekend. Looking back now the whole episode was somewhat hilarious and I can really see how things will always work out the way they should, but let me tell you when I'm in the middle of it happening, sometimes it's hard to be objective! Here's the story - my bf and I went away to Port Stephens for the weekend and had the idea to come back early on Monday as I had an appointment to make at 2.30pm. We drove up on t...
