A bit about my healing journey...........

It goes without saying that any persons choosing to follow the path of the healer would quickly decipher upon on set that it is not for the faint hearted. Every aspect of you will change, your thought patterns and your perspective on just about everything from where you think you come from to why you’re on this planet. Upon commencing my first healing course I was absolutely clueless as to what awaited me. My time since embarking on this journey has altered not only my daily life but also the way I view myself and the world around me. It is with humble gratitude that I can attest to these changes for they did not arrive with ease or without challenge but it has surely been the greatest adventure with a promise of way more to come!
A few months before I had joined with school of Intuition & Healing I had developed a daily meditative practice and a keen interest in esoteric material. This fuelled my hunger for knowledge as my mind began to expand into the unknown. It was however through the carefully thought out healing course programme that I learnt in great detail the potential and purpose of meditation as the world of energy healing unfolded before me. The simple act of grounding, which proves difficult at first as we learn to develop our visualisation techniques has now become a sort of natural unfurling of my roots from the minute the soles of my feet touch the floor in the morning. A very deep and loving connection to Gaia that offers me unfaltering comfort and security. A sense of being held greater than anything I’d experienced before. Equally mind blowing was the act of attuning! There are not words fit to describe the sensation of receiving that divine spark of source energy & light as every fibre of your being responds, acknowledges and aligns with your maker signalling an end to the subconscious belief of separation. A state I’d easily remain in forever and one I carry with me all day. For the first time in my life, I was at home within myself!
Coming from an intuitive background where I was able to access other realms and unfortunately be accessible to denser energies, the foundation that the healing course delivered provided me with a new outlook regarding my abilities. My then limited fear-based perception began reshaping itself in truth, in learning and rediscovery. My heart opened up and I began to see the world around me a whole lot differently to how I’d seen it before. The colours were brighter, the sight of nature reduced me to tears and within me grew a deep sense of empathy and connection to my fellow man. I wanted to heal the world! Which I’m sure is every healers eager starting point. Little did I know that I had begun my own personal healing journey which seemed to weave its way symbolically through my patients, my relationships to not only my loved ones but also myself. Oh what a beautiful journey its been.
Priceless and purposeful!
People began approaching me at random in public or locking eyes with me as we crossed paths. They would come up to me unexpectedly and sometimes in what seemed like the middle of their train of thought, begin sharing their difficulties with me. I began to feel as if above my head a sign read: “ASSISTANCE WITH LIFE MATTERS HERE”!
Still in the process of learning to guard my energy and sustain healthy boundaries I revelled in the idea of these sometimes very spiritually and emotionally charged encounters. I soon came to realise that every encounter with patients or the sporadic ones presented me with an opportunity to view myself, my beliefs or my perception on something in a different light. These lessons began to unfold one by one as I moved through the healing of each chakra and the magnitude of knowledge and insight they stored. I began to notice the ebb and flow of healing. The sometimes very elevated 5D consciousness and all the beautiful wonder it brought along with it…. And then too the very deep introspective abyss of our path through our shadow work, pain and past trauma. It is then that I came to realise that the journey to the centre of my being would not be an easy one. What transpired was a massive purging of limiting beliefs, unconscious bias (on things I never cared to notice I held onto), the very severe death of my ego (several times over lol) and just about everything from sustaining a divine balance of above and below within me to creating safe boundaries. Over a year and some months I slowly began to peel away at the many layers of trauma which I soon discovered spanned out into family creating an energetic chord of healing throughout my life.
As my conscious awareness began to expand and the teachings at the school deepened within me, my purpose became clearer. This in itself was the point in my life I had not been able to reach in my unawakened state. I was fascinated and still am today at the incredible ground breaking work this was. The writing was on the wall – there was nothing else I’d rather do with my time, with my energy, with my soul. I was a healer and nothing would stand in the way of me pursuing it.
My thoughts and ideas about myself, what I did with my time and who I spent it with began to change rapidly. People, places and things that no longer aligned with my purpose somehow began to fall away even when attempting or re-attempting to engage with it/them. I began developing what I like to call my “tribe” as I met like-minded people. Ideas sporadically would appear in my thought process of a life somewhat different to the one I was living. For months this continued as I metamorphosed into this new sense of self……. and in doing so touching, helping and healing the lives of many in the process.
This work has humbled me. It has awakened me and I’ll never go to sleep again.
Thanking you for reading this.
With love
