Have you ever dreamed of starting your own blog? To have a wee corner of the online universe where you can be your own unique self, speak out openly & be as creative as you desire? YES to all the above but just don’t know where or how to get started? Keep on reading.

You may already have a blog that you dearly love & cherish. Would you like to take your baby to the next level? See it grow bigger, spread your message wider & even, who knows, start earning you some well deserved money from it? Does this sound like you but you have no idea how to get things accelerating forward? I may well have the answer for you too.

If you’re screaming YES at your screen now I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. It’s time for round two of the incredible online blog course Bright Eyed & Blog Hearted from Rachel MacDonald of In Spaces Between. This course has literally changed the way I blog forever. It’s all kicking off again on Monday 28^th July 2014. Allow me to tell you more…

My Blogging Background:

I’ve been blogging for nearly four years. The blog you are visiting now is baby number two. My original blog can be found here. Since I started that blog I’ve changed my creative direction & I felt it more appropriate to start a fresh. You’re reading the result.

Expressing my Soul through the written word is something I love. Writing is a great creative outlet for me. Seren Holistic Lifestyles had been running for about year when I hit a bit of a wall. There seemed to be something missing. I’d reached a point of feeling stuck; a bit lost & had no idea where to go next.

I follow a number of holistic bloggers online who have been a great inspiration to me. Their messages are so strong, relevant & passionate speaking straight from their heart. Each of their posts generates strings of comments & lively discussion. They are all over social media platforms with beautiful photographs, quotes & useful shares. Their work is featured on other websites & blogs, they are literally everywhere. It’s not just blogging they offer interesting products, services & giveaways. Above all they have made hugely successful online businesses & careers from what started out as a simple blog. When I grow up I want to be just like them! (But in my own authentic way of course ;-))

How do they do it?

All is revealed in Bright Eyed & Blog Hearted:

One blogger on my follow list is Rachel MacDonald from In Spaces Between. When Rachel launched her first online course Bright Eyed & Blog Hearted I signed up immediately, along with 329 other aspiring bloggers. The course was just what I needed to take my blog from mundane to marvellous (I’m still not quite at marvellous yet, one day).

Bright Eyed & Blog Hearted is for anyone who has an interest in blogging in any which way. The ‘Blog Hearts’ as Rach called us, ranged from well-established bloggers whom already had their feet firmly planted in the blog-sphere to those who didn’t even have a name or where to start with WordPress.

Bright Eyed & Blog Hearted covers everything you need to know about starting a blog & taking it as far as you wish. Right up to professional, money earning global tribal community if that is your goal. The content is delivered in an interesting & varied style over eight weeks. Beautifully designed PDF workbooks & worksheets, videos, audio, interviews & of course the private FB group.

One of the stand out parts of the course was the BE & BH Tribe. Everyone is included in the private FB group & is free to post any queries, great finds, technical support or just share the blog love. Within the first two weeks the Perth based blog hearts & I had already met up in person for lunch. We still keep in touch & support each other’s FB pages & blogs. I met another Blog Heart on an interstate trip. We shared a yoga class & breakfast together to swap stories. Finding your tribe of like-minded people is a true gift.

I was in awe that many of my blog super hero’s had signed up too to Blog Hearted. Ladies whose work I think is amazing were all there in the FB group sharing their struggles, win’s, tips & tricks. Gosh it was hard to keep my focus at times & not get all stars struck & gushy.

Rachel is very active in the group too. A true Mamma Bear watching over us all. You will get heaps of support & extra wisdom with Rach at the helm. It’s not a love you & leaves you too it course. Rach is very hands on.

From my experience of Bright Eyed & Blog Hearted I have gained so much:

I’ve taken my blog from bog standard WordPress to self-hosted. This has allowed me more freedom to craft my site with fancy plugins & a custom theme. I feel my site looks more like a professional website than just ‘a blog.’
I have gotten very clear about whom I am, revealing my truth & how I wish to be portrayed online.
Through the workbook exercises I dug deep to discover who my audience is, where they hang out, what they love & the message I wish to convey to them.
I’ve overhauled my entire blog including my about page, professional services & branding.
I now have a media pack including professional bio, head shots & testimonials.
I’ve discovered Instagram – my new love. I’ve learned loads about social media platforms & SEO’s. My FB followers have doubled since BE & BH allowing my voice to be heard wider a field.
My dream is for my blog to keep on evolving & hopefully reach pro status by the end of the year. I’m excited to be expanding my offering further. Watch this space!
Above all I’ve made new friends both locally & interstate. It’s a scary world outline, support networks are so important.

Round two of Bright Eyed & Blog Hearted goes live on Monday 28^th July 2014. The course runs for eight weeks. It’s self-paced; you can take as long as you need to complete each section. New material is delivered into the online portal each week so there isn’t any skipping ahead for those keen Jean’s. The total investment is $397 AUD. Payment plans are available. If you liked to be part of the next intake I can help you out right NOW.

I am proud to call myself a BE & BH Ambassador. I only put my name on products & services I truly believe in. If you have any interest in blogging I’m sure you will find this course exceptionally useful. Sign up NOW!

Of course huge, massive high fives & gratitude to Rachel for meeting & exceeding my expectations of BE & BH. Rach is a true inspiration, big hearted, generous & kind. This lady knows her blogging. I trust you’ll all be in safe hands come round two of BE & BH. You might even see me there as I’ll be dropping by to review some modules again. Once you’re a Blog Heart you have unlimited life long membership to the course.

Do you have a keen interest in learning how to heal yourself or those around you? If the answer is YES I’m right here to assist you in taking the first steps to learn how.

Who am I?
For those of you who are new here my name is Kathryn (aka Kat) I am a Reiki Master & intuitive energy healer.

What does that mean?
As a Reiki Master I have dedicated my life to a path of well being & spiritual development. Working from a place of love by connecting & living my life lead by my Souls guidance.

Using my intuition or ‘inner knowing’ I connect with the invisible energy of the universe & spirit guides to assist people to heal. The guidance I receive comes through in different forms, either through clairaudience, clairvoyance or clairsentience.

This journey has seen me follow my passion for teaching to a spiritual level through yoga & Reiki. As a Reiki Master I am able to pass the gift of Reiki onto others through the sacred ceremony known as the Reiki attunement. I can teach you how to safely connect & use the Reiki energy to heal yourself & others.

What is Reiki healing?
Reiki translates in Japanese as “universal life force energy.” Reiki guides the healing energy through the placement of hands either directly onto the body or held above. Reiki can assist the release of energetic blockages; break down habitual patterns & balances the Chakras. This holistic modality supports the bodies’ natural ability to heal. In order to move on & grow we must heal what we have held onto in the past. Reiki is a gentle, safe & non-intrusive method to assist this process.

The Reiki Level 1 workshop involves:

Learning the Reiki hand placements on & around the client’s body.
You receive the Level I attunements.
Become aware of your own intuition & inner voice.
You will learn how energy affects the physical, mental, emotional & spiritual bodies.
Reiki Level I can be used on family, animals, plants & for self-healing.

Reiki Level 1 is a full weekend workshop consisting of fourteen hours in total split over two consecutive days. Learning Reiki is a rewarding & self-nurturing process. You will open the connection to your Soul as well as the universal energy.

There are many Reiki courses out there how is yours different?
It is recommended that you receive your Reiki attunement from a qualified Reiki Level III Master – this is me. I am passionate & dedicated to my life purpose of serving the greater good of humanity.

Being a Master is more than a title I live my life every day to that of mastery. I receive Reiki & other healing regularly, I meditate daily, exercise & keep my physical body healthy through good plant based nutrition. I work with my spiritual mentors every month. I take part in self-development programs to constantly keep growing & moving myself forward. What I learn I pass on to others. Through teaching I am always learning.

My courses are detailed & structured based on the way I learned Reiki from my Master mentor. I tailor the course to each individual depending on their levels of consciousness. The energy of the day will lead us where we need to go. I share my own experience & challenges of my personal healing journey with you.

Courses are kept small with a maximum four students so everybody gets one on one attention whilst still benefiting from a group experience. Hosting the course at my private residence in a rural location offers added healing benefits as well as a more relaxed atmosphere.

How do I know if I’m ready to learn Reiki?
If this post has sparked an interest & you feel an urge to learn more then you are ready. Self-doubt can kick in for sure; use this as the positive resistance that you are moving forward in the right direction. Everybody has the ability to learn to heal; just some are called to it more strongly.

I recommend that you have received a Reiki session prior to taking the course. That way you can ‘feel’ how Reiki works & understand what is involved during a session. It would be hard to learn something that you have never experienced yourself.

If you have any further questions please contact me using the form below or via email.

I’m ready! What is the next step?
The next Reiki Level 1 workshop is on Saturday 22^nd & Sunday 23^rd March 2014. It will be hosted at a private residence in Perth’s northern suburbs, address given on booking confirmation. Please see the flyer below for more details. A $50 deposit is required to hold your spot & full payment due by Friday 14^th March.

To book your place on this exciting workshop please contact me for a registration form using the form below or via email. Only TWO places are left for the March workshop so be quick!

I look forward to connecting with you & passing on this truly wonderful gift.

Love Kathryn xx
