True personal growth ultimately will lead to fulfillment, and it's my intention with these podcasts to connect more deeply with you. Thank you for joining me, Anne Corbin, and my guests, and welcome to this episode. Hi again. Welcome back. And today, I'm very delighted to introduce you to Toni Stevens, who is from Adelaide in Australia. And Toni is a consciousness coach. She has an extensive background in healing as well as coaching.
She spent 9 years operating her own business, which is called Toni's Healing Room, and it it all came out of her own struggles with anxiety, depression, and similar issues. So, Toni, let me hand over to you and tell us how you got started and all the many services that you offer. Thank you, Anne. Thanks for having me here. So yeah. When I was, a young lady, I was studying visual art at university and a lot of my work was based on the mind body connection.
And then I had an experience of anxiety and, you know, I was diagnosed with anxiety and the and I I was just blown away that we could our mind could affect our body so much, you know, that my mind was creating nausea and gut cramps and exhaustion. And I was just blown away by it. Wow. There's so much more I wanna learn here, so I can heal myself. And so I went and studied. I looked for some alternative therapy, some holistic therapy that I could, work with.
And I started with Chiaotzu, traditional Chinese medicine, and Reiki, and Reiki just blew me away. I loved it. It just confirmed for me everything that I felt to be true about life, that we are all made of energy and that we can heal ourselves and we can change how we feel and how we think. And so from there, I have just been studying a lot. I hate I'm one of those lifelong learners. I just love learning more and more.
And and so, you know, then I went and studied meditation and hypnosis and neurolinguistic programming, and then I found, yeah, ultimate consciousness. And I was like, oh, what? That sounds good. I'd like to learn more about that.
And so it's based on these ideas, from quantum physics, that we are all made of energy and that we can ultimately affect our own energy and heal ourselves and be the the creator of our reality, which is, you know, the idea of quantum physics is that we can the observer effect or the creator effect that we can create our reality. And it's also based on, expanded states of awareness, and it's based on, energetic principles.
So the Hermetic philosophy of the 12 universal, laws of energy is what, this idea of, ultimate consciousness sessions is based on. Right. So when a client would come to see you for an ultimate consciousness session, how does it start? How does it continue? Where are you going to take them on this journey? Yeah. So when a person books in for a session, I do say that it is like I call it spirit journey.
And like the, shamanic spirit journeys, this is like the, you know, the hypnotic version or the quantum physics idea of of spirit journey. So it's based on scientific principles, but it is like a spirit journey ultimately. That's where we go. We go into this journey to our high consciousness.
So someone would book a session if they would like to solve a problem, seeking their guidance of their higher consciousness, or if they would like to meet an ultimate version of themselves, which is really powerful experience. And so they start the session by taking them into a hypnotic trance, Just a really beautiful, relaxed state. So they can just let go of, you know, their worries and just really relax their body. And then we take them into an expanded state of awareness.
So they actually leave their body. It's like an out of body experience, and we take them so they float up into So how do you accomplish this? Is it, through use of soft medicine, or is it just simply suggestions that you feed into their minds as they're relaxing? Yeah. That's the great thing about these sessions is that we don't require, any partners that's yeah.
Just following along on a journey and just, you know, like hypnosis, you're just listening to the sound of my voice and being guided by, yeah, the suggestions that I'm giving to you, like, float up out of your body now and, you know, float up into the stars and, you know, experience what that's like, that kind of thing. And then we guide them and we ask them questions along the way, which which is what makes these journeys really different from, some hypnotic journeys that we can take people on.
You know, when we when we think of hypnosis, you know, we think, someone's guiding you and you're just being the recipient. But on these I think many people have this kind of distorted view of hypnosis because of what we've seen on the stage, and people just being, conditioned into doing stupid things to get a laugh. But for medical purposes, hypnosis and hypnotic trances are really very different.
Yeah. And and so powerful that we can just, you know, be guided on a journey by listening to someone's voice and following their suggestions and that we can create real change in our lives. And and that's the point of, you know, these journeys, like hypnosis.
It differs from hypnosis because in hypnosis, I just like to say that we take people down into their unconscious mind so that we can, heal and unravel some of those, you know, deeply, like, unconscious behaviors and beliefs and memories that we might have, that are causing us problems in our lives, you know, patterns that we're not aware of consciously. Right? Which is what we mean by unconscious. So that's like a hypnosis journey.
So the ultimate consciousness journey, instead of going down, we take people up into their higher consciousness to access that place or that energy of, you know, what we would call universal energy, source energy, you know yeah. This higher consciousness place where we can access so much information and where we're connected to all the energy of the universe, right, which is that quantum physics idea. Quantum field and so forth.
But you're talking about connecting with the higher self, the kind of the older, wiser self who's accumulated all the knowledge, and will now be able to share it with you as you're having this transformative experience. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. So if you're going to meet an ultimate version of yourself, you know, what what is that person capable of?
What is the possibility of the person that you could become in the future that this, you know, highest version of yourself that you can possibly imagine, This person actually exists and in a quantum field and so we can access that that version of ourselves, that energy, and we can, ask them for guidance and wisdom and an energy upgrade like a vibration vibrational, healing experience from that person. People have the most profound journeys. It's just beautiful and, yeah, really expansive.
Have you got some particular experiences that you've witnessed with your clients? I have. So one of the most amazing experiences that I've, facilitated was, taking a lady through. He's actually an artist. So I just I just thought I'd say that because she does have a very creative spirit already. Right? And access to her imagination that she met an ultimate version of herself and it was actually a mermaid. And it was just unbelievable and it was so much fun.
And she was just, like, laughing and giggling. Like, she was just amazed at, at her experience that she was having. And I remember her, like, just being amazing. Like, I can actually feel my tail and what it feels like. You know, it was amazing and beautiful. I mean, that's hilarious. I cannot even contemplate imagining something so creative about I know. Your beautiful self. I mean, mermaid just wouldn't come into it. So, yeah, really interesting.
Anything else that you would like to talk about? Yeah. So I've taken people on lots of different journeys. So, you know, I've taken people on journeys to help them in their businesses. So if they're looking to find, you know, more confidence in themselves or asking a future version of themselves, like, you know, what what can you what guidance or wisdom can you offer me? What energetic what energy do I need to help me get where I need to go?
And so, you know, I've had some, you know, yeah, beautiful healing experiences, but I feel more confident in themselves after meeting that successful future version of themselves. Another experience that I wanted to talk about hold on. Was a lady who was experiencing a lot of grief and her brother had passed away. And and we didn't go into the with the idea of, meeting her brother, but that's just what happened.
So when we went to, her journey to meet her ultimate version of herself, her brother came and met her there, and she had a beautiful experience reconnecting with him. Got the, you know, the closure and the, you know, just that beautiful connection with her brother that she needed to help her move forward, on her journey. So that was a really, yeah, beautiful experience to facilitate as well. Oh, I love that.
Yes. Real deep healing because you gave her or you enabled her to create exactly the experience that she wanted. Yeah. Yeah. So one of the I've had many amazing experiences on these journeys, but I did wanna mention one of mine, if that's okay. And it was about, the ultimate version of myself was actually Gaia, like mother earth. And she and and it was confusing at the time because you're trying to follow what, follow along what the, facilitator is guiding you to do.
And it was always like float upwards, go upwards. We're going up. You know, it's never it was never about going down and this energy was really dragging me down. And I was like, oh, I'm not supposed to go down, am I? But then I just trusted and followed this energy down. And, yeah, it took me down in into the earth to experience what it was like to be mother earth and to be, like, a part of her. And I felt like a baby being held inside the earth, you know, like, in in the dirt.
A part of just a part of her. And it was one of the most profound healing experiences I have ever had in my life to truly experience what it's like to be really grounded and what it means to connect and to ground with the earth. You know, people when we talk about energy, we, you know, we talk about grounding all the time, but it was an amazing experience because I now I truly deeply understand the experience of grounding and what that feels like.
And it felt like just completely held and completely safe being there. That's right. I'm glad you asked that. What I said. Sorry. When you had that experience with Mother Earth, what had you gone into the session hoping to achieve? I don't think I wasn't. No. That that was it was just like made an ultimate version of yourself. There was no goal. It was just an experience. Yeah. And see do where it takes you. Right.
Okay. I think it was something from the conversation we were having earlier that, generally, you are approached by clients who have an issue that they want to solve. But you could also be approached by someone who just wants the ultimate experience. Yeah. Is that right? Yeah. That's right. Yeah. Okay. So and apart from consciousness, I believe you offer a a few other modalities? I do.
So a lot of the work I do is Reiki, energy healing, and balancing the chakras, which is just, you know, a beautiful experience of being able to connect with yourself on an energetic level and remember what it's like to be a spiritual being. So that we're not you know, we get so busy in our lifestyle that we, you know, we forget what it's like to be human and what it means to be human. And, you know, for me, being human is being a spiritual being as well.
So, like, body, mind, and spirit, we are, you know, all one. We're not we're not just a body. We're not just a mind. We're not just a spirit. We're a human being. You're a mix of all of those things, intertwined. So Reiki is a really good experience to remember that. I do agree with that blindness. Yeah. It's something that's, really bothers me. We spend all those years at school, and we are not taught how to be human. We're not taught how to do life.
We're just supposed to muddle through and find out who are stars. And those of us who found energy in these alternative practices, we are the lucky ones. Yeah. Yeah. We are. I know you're you're on a mission to spread this information far and wide and raise the consciousness of the planet. Right? Yeah. That's right.
Yep. So the other thing I do is I do 1 on 1 coaching with people, and I take them through so I've worked with, self aware women or people to create calm, confidence, and connection to themselves, to reduce stress, anxiety, or overwhelm, healing childhood trauma, limiting beliefs, you know, first family conditioning and cultural programming. And it's I love these deep, intimate experiences with people where I can see them for, like, 8 weeks. Once a week, we go really deep.
We release, you know, we identify and release and resolve so much emotion and beliefs, these thoughts that we have that hold us back from really being where we wanna be in our lives. I I just absolutely love going there with people like that really deep conversation and connection, like, what that you can only get when you go one on one with people. Yeah. I agree with you because this is what I do as well.
Yeah. My coaching is very similar to what you're describing, so I'm completely on board with everything you're saying, and it it sounds wonderful. So in terms of getting in touch with Tony, naturally, I will put all the contact details in the show notes as usual. And you have a free offer for people as well. Do you wanna say a few words about that? I do.
So I have a free calm your anxiety hypnosis, that you can get if you subscribe to my weekly email newsletter, which is full of inspiring and insightful stories. So and my own personal, you know, stories and reflections of what's going on in my life, but relating them to, growth and, you know, the healing journey because that's what we're all on, a journey of life. And the healing is continuous that never ends. You're very right. You're very right. So now I'm just trying to think.
Have we covered everything? Because we had a bit of a false start, Tony and I. The, the system broke down. We were let down by the Wi Fi. So we have to start all over again, and I'm I just hope that we've covered everything the second time around. I I think so. I'm pretty happy and good with that. Is there anything else that you wanted to, ask? Not at all. It's just been such a pleasure to connect with you and to have you on the show. So thank you again for accepting my invitation.
Thank you so much for having me. I really appreciate it. Yeah. I love going to talk with people, especially people from the other side of the world. I've never been to the UK, but I hope to get there soon. Yeah. I I managed to get to Australia, but I did some traveling on the west side and on the east side. Oh. But, regrettably, I didn't do the middle at all. And I thought I'd be going back, but life didn't work out that way. I got married instead. Plenty of time, Anne. That's right.
Plenty of time. Okay. Well, it just leads me to thank you once again and say bye bye. Thank you again. Okay. You can set yourself up to win the game of life, become familiar with the laws of the universe. You have infinite potential. You can influence reality.
