So it's time to stop hiding and finally overcome your fears around showing up and being seen and heard as the real you .

Hello, hello, hello. My beautiful podcast community. I have been a little absent. I had a little break over the last two weeks, and I actually just really needed some time to heal. I took a week off, and in that week off, unfortunately, I came down with some flu symptoms, quite severe flu symptoms, not covid, but um, it really just showed me the importance of taking time out for yourself to just really be still and reconnect.

And I am so grateful that I did because it really allowed me to regain some clarity and to regain a sense of a purpose and , and direction and almost a reset. And right now, this time of the year is a really perfect opportunity for us to be able to do that because we have just had the powerful full Moon in Virgo, which is in the astrological sense, the beginning of the year. And we are also about to move into Equinox as well.

So it is a new transition period that we are experiencing, and this is a fantastic time for releasing and clearing and really reconnecting to what's important to you, simplifying things, removing any distractions or anything that may be negatively impacting your life or draining on you at the moment. Really being conscious and aware of how you are spending your time, who you are spending it with.

Is it uplifting or is it taking a toll on you and, and you feel constantly drained and, and like you perhaps are not receiving what you want from your life, your friends, your family, your work, your leisure, your personal life, your your house. So really just having a holistic view on everything that you are experiencing right now because we are transitioning into the new Earth.

And, and these things are really important for us to get clear on and really be able to let go of things and just let them fall away. Because the less attachment we have to things, the more space we have within ourselves to receive more light and more downloads, more messages, connect to our intuition and our power, really tap into what it is that we really wanna create and bring into this world, bring into your current reality. So that is what I did.

I had a beautiful week off in South Australia, back home where I'm from, and was able to just spend some time on the coast and just allowing myself to really be still and take the time out to heal. And in that process, I also went through a, what I would call a rebirth because I was able to release through , um, my emotions and I was able to take a step back out of my normal rea reality , which is here in Melbourne.

And really being able to pick yourself up out of your current life and just take some time out and really helicopter in and, and have a think about these things is really powerful. Um , and it allowed me to also have , um, put some thought into my business and how I can be helping other people. And that is why I'm here and I'm back. And I really just wanted to take some time off to heal myself before I can impart more of my wisdom and knowledge that I've picked up onto , onto you guys.

So , um, yeah, I apologize for the absence, but I am back and I am new and improved. I had a wonderful experience when I got back. Um, I had a three day meditation course and Reiki course. I have been studying reiki for about two years, 20 end of 20 20, 20 21. And it is something that I have always had a fascination with.

I have always just been attracted to energy healing and spiritual , uh, modalities, but it wasn't until obviously Covid when I just decided that that's what I, I wanted to learn , um, how to practice reiki. And my intention back then was wasn't really what it is now, but I really, the outcome of me learning reiki was that I learned to heal myself. And this is the thing. We all have the power to be able to heal ourselves.

I didn't become a reiki healer so that I could be, so that I could , uh, make a profit out of it . I became, well , perhaps I did. So initially when Covid happened and I lost my job, actually, I resigned from my job because it was quite toxic, and I just had this time and this space to really reflect and connect to myself. And I started my spiritual journey back in 2020, end of 2020.

And in that space, I was able to just write down a few things that I would like to do, or I actually think I said to the universe, I think I said , um, please show me a way that I can make a living , um, creatively, because I didn't, I didn't want to go back to a standard nine to five. I wanted to continue to have time for myself, to work on myself and to heal myself. And I am so grateful looking back now that I had that intention and I was given that choice and opportunity to do that.

So what came out of that was that something that I wrote down in my journal was that I wanted to learn reiki. It's something that I thought, you know, perhaps if I learn reiki, then I could be a , a Reiki healer and I could make a living and support myself that way, doing something I love. And I never really understood where it would take me. I didn't, I didn't really think about anything else apart from something to viewing it as something that I could use to support myself.

But what what actually happened in that process is I learned reiki. I went to level one, and it really just opened me up to energy and working with, connecting to and being able to tune in to my energy and what was going on in my body. And in that process, it really allowed me to reconnect to myself and to embark on a soul awakening journey, because the more I learned , the more I was fascinated and the more I was able to heal myself.

And so for me , the, the process of learning reiki and , and the intentional or the the outcome actually became more than just wanting to create a living for myself.

It became this journey of deep transformation and self-discovery and reconnection and, and really reclaiming who I was, my identity, really understanding what I wanted and how to really reconnect to my energy, my emotions, and really just turned into this beautiful experience of finding myself again, really reconnecting back to my body, my energy, my spirit, and my soul. And it was just this really unbelievable experience that I have had in the process and this journey.

And just really looking back at everything now, having just graduated , um, as a reiki master, looking back on my reiki journey, it, it really was just a , as I said, a journey. It was a journey of learning and growing and expanding and everything I needed to do in order to find myself again. Because prior to that, I, I was lost. I was hurt, I was disconnected. I wasn't able to regulate my emotions or my nervous system.

I was stressed out, depressed , um, borderline alcoholic, and I was really probably at a rock bottom in my life before I found reiki. And it's, it was the catalyst for me to be able to change. It was , um, a tool that I could use to help me understand and help me to heal. So really at the end of the day, it reikis is , uh, a healing modality and a relaxation method that allows you to get out of your own way.

It allows you to get out of your head and , and connect back into your body and allow your energy to flow freely without getting caught on all the gunks and , um, snags in your energetic field that might be blocked or might be taking up space in your body from stored emotions that you perhaps , um, are not releasing or, or you're not even conscious that , that they exist in your body because you're not aware or you're not connected or you're not conscious of, of your energetic field and your

emotions, perhaps because you don't have the awareness or you don't have the understanding or the, the knowledge to be able to heal these things. And this is where I really believe that we all have the power to be able to not only heal ourselves, but also create this beautiful transformation.

And re we have the power and the , the choice to really take back our power and reconnect to our bodies and just start to let go of these things that we are unconsciously holding onto so that we can welcome in the things that we want. And this is where a lot of people might struggle if they don't understand the process of healing, and even that they know that they can heal themselves.

But I don't wanna discredit any reiki practitioners or reiki healers out there having just obviously become a master myself. What I, what I really am wanting to emphasize is that Reiki is a really fantastic tool to allow you to connect to spirit and your energy in order to be able to take you on this healing journey and give you the tools to be able to heal yourself. And there are so many tools that we have available to be able to heal ourselves. And this is just, this is just one of them.

And it's really beautiful modality, and I have really loved reconnecting to it, and I am going to continue to love using it and also using it in conjunction and in combination with a couple of other modalities that I have learned along my way and along my journey so that I can provide my clients with the most , um, what's the word? The most powerful , um, healing session that is going to be able to make some energetic shifts and also some, some conscious shifts as well.

It's really important to , uh, look at everything holistically. Not just the body, not just the energy, but also working with your mind and improving your mindset and changing your belief system. So all of these things , um, really for me, combine into my healing style and my teaching style so that you can have a, a better experience and a and a more powerful healing and , and realizations and , and you can have the best chance at being able to start to heal yourself.

And the first step in learning how to heal yourself is really all about connection. And it's something that I talk about, it's something that I go on and on about, but it's something that will never change. Connection is a really big part of learning, learning to heal, because you need to be able to connect to your body, your emotions, your energetic field , your beliefs, your needs, your your wants.

You need to be able to connect to yourself and understand and really get into the nitty gritty and understanding who you are deep down or understanding who you are , perhaps who, who you are not, because we need to allow these false beliefs or stories that you have perhaps told yourself to fall away so that you can reconnect to your true sovereign self. And that's why connection is so important. And, and this is something that I am diving deep into in my masterclass soul connection.

Um, if you'd like to come along and really learn how to create that deep connection with your soul and really start to build something that is, and that is going to have an impact and really create a change in your life, then I invite you to come along. I'll pop the details in the show notes so you can jump onto the link and register. But connection is a , is a really important step in learning how to heal yourself.

In fact , it's probably the biggest step and the biggest part of the, the most powerful part of your healing process is connection. Learning to reconnect to yourself in so many different aspects is really the key to your healing. Because without connection, there is no way for you to be able to be in the present and sit with whatever is whatever needs to come up in your body or in your energetic field.

And healing is really, is a process of bringing awareness to something that may have happened or something that you may have experienced in the past that is unresolved and potentially storing and taking up space in your, in your field or in your , uh, emotional body.

And it is the process of bringing awareness and light to this and then sending love and , and allowing it to be released and letting go and shifting this from your, from your space and from your body and from your field that is healing because you are letting things go. You're letting them move out of your body. You're getting rid of them, you're making space.

And the more you make space, the more you can invite in, the more light and love and abundance and wealth and whatever it is that you are wanting to attract more of, you need to make space for it. So going back to the start of the podcast where we talked a little bit about , um, it's a really good time at the moment to get clear on a few things. What this means is it means that you want to really define the aspects in your life.

You wanna simplify them, you wanna remove that emotional clutter or distraction or toxicity out of your, out of your life and out of your energy field. So that, that , that's not taking up space.

Usually the first place is taking up space is in your mind, and then that also translate into your energy and your body, and you are just holding onto these things that are , uh, perhaps weighing on your mind or , um, those little niggles that we kind of, we know are there, but we avoid dealing with them or addressing them, and we just leave them there.

So it's really about clearing them, getting rid of them, and just really making as much space in within yourself , um, but also within your life and, and your even your home, even clearing things out of your home, your clutter, you know, maybe doing that, that wardrobe , uh, cleaner or, you know, an autumn clean instead of a spring clean.

Really maybe doing that that seasonally so that you are constantly allowing more energy to come into your home, more love, more light, more anything, anything that you, that you are wanting to attract. And this is just , uh, a part of, of the, the healing process when we start to clear things. So the connection side of it is the key to allowing you to, to do that.

And this is where reiki is really powerful at allowing you to build and , and create that connection within yourself and also to your spirit. And, you know, the higher version of yourself. It's allowing you to clear and shift things in your energetic field so that you can make more space for more energy and more flow and more ease to come into your body and then consequently , uh, beam out into your life and , and radiate around you.

So that is the link between , um, reiki and establishing and building that connection to yourself and really more specifically your energy body where you are allowed to clear the decks and , um, just start to be free of those things that you may not be aware of that are physically taking up space in your body. So, so I think I am gonna leave it there for this one.

I think , um, there is a lot of juicy information in this podcast and I am , I'm really just grateful to you for being able to listen and tune in to me.
