The Super New Moon energy last week really assisted me in clearing out some old gunk. I really did have a funk of a February which I didn’t realise till I came out the other end in early March. Here’s a short video blog with my reflections…
I hope you enjoyed watching.
Love,
At the end of last year I shared with you all a post about one of my greatest fears…have a read here to get up to speed.
This year is the year to step forward & conquer this fear. All signs were pointing to “YES, you can do this hit the record button.” I was feeling super supported last week as I headed out into the garden with my laptop to just give it a go.
It wasn’t easy. There was a lot of emotion running through me: frustration, anger, nerves & F bombs, mixed with joy, happiness & pride.
The quality isn’t the best. I have much to learn with creating & editing video’s but at least it’s a start. I have a feeling some technical support will be presenting itself in the very near future from some filming guru’s out there. (I would more than welcome a gift of a GoPro š haha)
Without further a do I present to you ‘My First Video.’ It’s a funny snippet out take that just happened in between the ‘serious’ recording that was going on. Raw, unedited, nothing fancy. Just me in my garden HAVING SOME FUN!
Lot’s of love,
Itās usual this ātime of yearā with, as I write three days left of it, to reflect back & acknowledge what has been.
Except right here right now Iām just not feeling the love to do so. Probably because I energetically wrapped up 2015 over a month ago & a review post doesnāt seem relevant anymore. The moment has passed.
I will say though 2015 has been extremely enjoyable, a huge year of expansion & one to remember for so many positive reasons.
The next chapter has begun. Iāve stepped forward into a fresh new-uplifted energy that is beyond the restrictions or linear perceptions of āhumanā time. Arriving in a āNew Yearā before the calendar has ticked over.
The end of November brought about huge personal shifts, the biggest yet. Challenges & opportunities to heal arose telling me to get things sorted. Loose ends were tied, old issues resolved with love & everything fell into place really quickly. A welcomed cleansing wave washing away the rough to create a smooth new surface to start a new from.
āI was settled & content.ā
This year-end early closure was required as December saw me leaving on a grand adventure. What would be happening next for me needed my full-undivided focus.
Those of you who follow my work here are probably thinking āwhere did she go this time?ā as I do have a habit of being a serial traveller. Never one to do things by halves either I took myself off to Sedona, Arizona, USA.
Many synchronicities lead me to travel half way around the globe right before the festive season. The pull so great I couldnāt ignore it & Iām glad I didnāt.
It was an epic thirty-six hour trip (involving cars, three planes & a shuttle bus) from leaving my house in Perth, Western Australia to arriving at the hotel in Sedona. Driving into town at sunset with every tree & building covered in fairy lights was magical ā I was literally in the land of sparkle.
Sedona at night – Sparkle Town!
Waking to 360-degree views of the stunning red rocks behind vibrant blue skies was breath taking. Of course I had expectations of this spiritual oasis! These were exceeded above & beyond, no disappointments.
The stunning red rocks that surround Sedona.
For a sensitive person being in Sedona I finally felt āplugged in.’ It could have easily gone the other way & whacked me out. The jet lag actually helped ground me, as I needed to be very conscious of what I was doing being in a new place with every sense heightened.
āI moved in slow motion.ā
This was so appropriate & complimentary to the vibration of the land that was super accelerated. Just as we say in Pranayama breathing exercises, āthe slower you go, the better.ā
My wish for Sedona was to āopen my heart to receive.ā Leading up to this trip I was āso doneā & needed a rest. Being a perpetual over giver I had excelled this year by never giving myself enough time to truly fill up properly. Iād fill my cup only enough to half empty it again immediately. Sedona was my time to recharge to full wattage. Time to be offline & work on myself.

To sum up Sedona, as briefly as I can, it is:
“Energy Amplified.“
For me personally being in this vortex hot spot I felt peaceful, I could breathe again; I just wanted to be outside soaking up as much life force energy from the land. Just ābeingā there my wish was fulfilled. It was like coming up to take the first lung full of air after swimming underwater.
In the short week I had in Sedona Iāve never experienced such acceleration of my being. The term I was introduced to – ‘The Sedona Effect’ works beautifully. Sedona heals on a Soul level & quickly. What I felt is beyond the physical, way out past it. The veils between dimensions are thin there (just like the air being so high up!). I was open to expansion & surrendered all control, just letting it be.
A major observation I had of the Sedona Effect was my psychic senses went off the scale. I reached states of awareness that usually arenāt achieved without ābeing in the zoneā in a deep meditation.
During a sacred journey at a vortex site with a local healer I opened my eyes after just a short meditation to see what I usually only see with my āinner visionā & eyes closed. However my eyes were open.
“Wow does not come close.”
Was this waking up & remembering on a new level? I felt a connection like Iāve never experienced before. āThank you Universe.ā Itās hard to transcribe into words what itās like bringing the inner vision into the outer reality except pure love. I didn’t want to leave & just stay there to soak it in. Full confirmation to trust Iām going the right way with all of this work. The invisible was now visible to me, what an honor to receive!

The most amazing gift was the connection stayed. The amplified effect was integrating. It became normal without being intrusive or confusing. Grounding the frequency never felt so simple. Sedona weaving her magic again š
After five days of adventuring into Sedonaās core there was even more love to come & connections to be made. The experience was just getting better. It was time to start the Energy Mastery Retreat with Lee Harris & his teamā¦
To be continued š
Massive love,
When I first arrived in Australia partaking in a spot of solo gal travelling I observed everyone had a story. Each was individual giving the owner a reason or purpose to be doing what they were doing. Some stories I encountered were people travelling the world to heal from a breakup, finding space to discover themselves, taking a gap year from school, the last hurrah before marriage & children or celebrating a milestone birthday.
We should be careful not to fall into the trap of our ‘story’ defining us. It reminds me of the movie āThe Breakfast Club.ā Each character had a label or story. The geek, the jock, the weirdo, the princess & the criminal. Each character played up to these roles at the start, as the movie progressed the ‘real person’ inside started to show through. New stories & friendships formed that were more aligned with each persons true being.
Last week I had a wake up call that I needed to rewrite one of my chapters in my story of life as I was being defined in a way that wasn’t serving me.
Here is whyā¦
Every week I teach one or two early morning yoga classes. My alarm either goes off at 3:45am or 4:20pm. Pretty early hey? Especially when my natural body clock wakes me on a non-teaching morning at around 7:30am without fail. I often get alarm anxiety for these mornings & donāt sleep as well. Checking the clock to see how long I have left to sleep. A yoga teacherās nightmare is to sleep through & miss the class leaving students locked out.
Once Iām up & had my cup of tea Iām ready for action itās no problem at all. Teaching two classes with a break in between for Sadhana & breakfast. Iām on form, ready to work & deliver my best. Teaching the morning classes are fun, especially the Fridayās when we get a good crowd of regulars.
Itās just afterwards.
When it hits me.
Hello tired, wiped out feelings of exhaustion. Not even a fresh green juice can save me.
Usually on the drive home, especially if I stop off for grocery shopping or errands, the wave of tired swims in. I’m always telling myself:
āThese early mornings kill me, Iām always so drained for the rest of the day.ā
Iām actually quite excepting that by 12pm Iāve done my eight hours so itās normal to want to hit the couch for a nap. However that nap usually fills the entire afternoon, till maybe 5pm. I wake feeling groggy & drag myself up to start making dinner & other things I wanted to do with my afternoon at home. It always feels like such a waste to be sleeping that long. If I donāt nap I walk around in a fog till bedtime.
Time to change!
Manifesting our true desires & creating a life we love from the inside out is something I very much believe in. It can work both ways. Just as we manifest what we want, if we are not careful we can easily attract what we donāt.
That is what was happening for me. Telling myself each week that the early classes drain me just attracted even more of that draining energy to the situation. No wonder I was in a cycle of constant flatness.
I didnāt want to stop teaching at this time as it added variety to my schedule. It would mean Iād never be home at night if I only taught in the afternoon. That would not be a good solution either.
Looking at the situation as a whole everything else I was doing: food, hydration, meditation, exercise & fresh air wise was spot on. The rest of the week I had heaps of energy.
The solution was I needed to rewrite my story by changing my thought pattern about the early morning starts.
Time to focus on the positive aspects of the early shift & pull more of that it. Turn around drained into energized.
I made a list of why I love teaching the early classes:
Lotās of reasons that teaching in the morning is a positive thing.
Time to rewrite & refocus my attention to these positives. Instead of saying:
āThe early classes drain meā
I needed to flip it around to:
āThe early morning classes lift me up & give me energy.ā
Ahh what a difference this made! Putting positive energy into the situation really worked. Reminding myself how good the morning classes are & instead of hooking into the perceived lows of the aftermath.
Friday was testament to this new way of thinking. I kept saying to myself “I am energised!” I was home by 1pm, ate lunch & took up my usual position in the couch for a rest. Yes I was feeling a little tired but not the usual level of drained. I watched an old episode of Greyās Anatomy & didnāt fall asleep like I usually would. My 90-minute couch time reviver picked me up even more. I was able to get on with some āoffice workā for the afternoon. In fact I ended up being awake till well past 10pm without an afternoon nap.
One last step I needed to make was releasing the guilt I had associated with napping all afternoon. Instead of seeing it as a āwaste of timeā I accepted that the extra sleep would in fact be beneficial to my well-being. If I slept that long my body obviously needed to play catch up. As I said above Iād done my days work just not in the nine to five sense so it was more than okay to have a snooze. My acceptance of napping & releasing the guilt mean I didnāt need to nap after all.
Is there a story in your life that needs rewriting? If something brings you joy but small negative aspects are over shadowing these itās time to shift focus. Look for the positives in your situation & put your energy there. Above all drop the negative self-talk. Be mindful of your words & thoughts as what you project into the world you will create more of. Hereās to pulling in more of the good stuff.
Iād love to hear your experiences, feel free to leave a comment below.
