I was tuning into my Mindscape workshop, and part of the process is going through a nature scene. The scenes represent aspects of the subconscious mind, so it is a great way to get extra information about life. 

As soon as I went into my nature scene a galloping horse ran past me. I immediately jumped on without thinking about it, and held on for the wild ride. I felt the immense power of the horse beneath me, the muscles contracting and extending, the heat and smell of the body as it reached it's maximum potential. I was gripping tightly to the hair beneath my hands, maintaining my balance, determined not to fall off. 

The horse stopped and i dismounted. I asked the horse 'What is your name?'

'I am Destiny, the Spirit Horse' the horse said

'Do you have any advice for me?' I asked

'Hang on, Keep your balance, Enjoy the ride' Destiny replied

Sometimes opportunities present themselves, and I often get a little hesitant. Having had some limitations in the past, I have a tendency to ask 'Am I able?'. When I was younger I often asked that question, but I became very bold in my 20s and travelled solo through many countries. I was pretending, I had a good mask stapled on top of everything and I did a good job of it.

Health challenges bought the insecurities and lack of confidence back up to the surface and I have been gradually working through them during the past years.

​There is a difference between 'I think I can' and 'I know I can'.

Sometimes you've just got to hop on and enjoy the wild ride. 

A few years ago I was having lots of problems with Electromagnetic Frequencies: wifi zones, sensitivity to computers and phones. A friend suggested getting an Earthing mat, so I purchased one. I found it made a subtle but significant different to my overall health. My husband used to get lots of electrical twitches while he was going to sleep, and was often a restless sleeper. After sleeping with the earthing mat all of that stopped. 

The Earth has it's own natural frequency called the Schumann Resonance. Human bodies have evolved in contact with the Earth, and it is only recently that we have become so disconnected. Through concrete floors, rubber soled shoes, and other frequencies in our environment. When we are in contact with the Earth, the theory is that it gives us a unlimited supply of negative free electrons, which help stabilise free radicals in the body. I notice less fatigue and pain when I sleep on the mat. 

The Schumann Resonance has been fluctuating regularly, and it is a great idea to ground daily to make sure you are in sync with the Earth. It is a bit like jumping up and down on a trampoline and making sure you are in sync, rather than getting double bounced (which can result in emotional and mental chaos).

So what are some other useful ways to ground? We can ground physically and also mentally using our thoughts. 

• Standing with your feet barefoot on the Earth.
• Massaging your feet to make sure your soles are awake and receptive (we have a minor chakra, and also a map of the whole body on the soles of our feet.
• Taking the energy from your mind down to the feet and connection mentally with the Earth. 
• Drawing the Earth energy up through the soles of your feet with your mind (you can imagine a drinking straw, or a silver bubble drawn up into your feet).
• Imagine being a tree and growing roots down into the ground.
• I find it really useful for adults and kids to imagine being a horse or your favourite animal, and what it feels like to connect with the Earth through their feet.
• Going for a swim. This is a super way to ground as you are completely surrounded by the seawater. 
• Buying an Earthing mat. There are lots of sites online that sell them. They can be expensive but I have found them to be a good investment. The most recent one I bought is called a Sleep Deep pad and it slips under the bottom sheet. We wash it much less than the other type which had direct contact with the skin, and the washing makes it loose its efficacy. Ours lasted about 2 years.
• Hugging an animal which is also standing on the ground. Animals are naturally more connected to Earth than we are. 
• Hugging a really grounded person. I once heard of a man works in the Margaret River region pruning grapevines. He never wears shoes and prunes all throughout winter. Some people are naturally more grounded than others.
• Eating root vegetables. Carrots, sweet potatoes and beetroots are all great ways to ground from the inside. 
• Deciding not to do things that make you feel ungrounded. For me this might include tv, social media, fantasy novels, sugar or flavour enhancers. Sometimes I can get ungrounded by other people's energy. When I notice that I will either mentally ground myself or move away if I need to depending on the situation. 
• Activities which I find help ground me include going for a walk, stretching, yoga and body meditation (Vipassana). 

There are other metaphysical reasons why it is such a good thing to ground, but all of the above are good food for thought. 

​If you have any other suggestions or favourite ways to ground, I would love to hear them. 

Happy Earthing!

Self acceptance has been a struggle for me most of my life, and I see it as a consistent theme within client's sessions. It is probably our shared resonance of this issue which draws these specific clients to me in the first place. The Law of Resonance, like attracts like.

I always saw myself as ugly, flawed, geeky, not cool enough, too fat, too much of everything and not enough of anything. Years of travelling and working in certain industries revolving around image and success didn't help the situation.

​I even left a job once because the boss said I laughed too much. So not only was my self acceptance lacking within, but the outside world was also reflecting and pushing the button about how unacceptable I was. Even when I was laughing I was unacceptable. What an absolute crock of bullshit!

​Thank goodness I found BodyTalk, as I got myself into a right state within body and mind. I created for myself a lot of illness, mental and physical through rejection of my core nature which is joyful, loving and fine just as it is, even when challenging emotions pop up. Yes, I am an emotional, passionate women that likes to ask 'Why?'.

The horses have taught me a lot about just BE-ing, allowing yourself to BE just as you are regardless of form, or emotional state. This is a powerful lesson to learn, especially when emotions arise which are painful, distressing and unwanted. To learn to sit and be with whatever is coming up, is to discover a sense of peace, presence and inner depth. 

What is your vision?
I'd like to share my vision for the future. 
A future focused on bringing balance to people's lives through my Bodytalk and horse work. 
Creating a place where people and animals can come together to heal and find JOY.
A rediscovery of the childlike delights of the soul, while we all give ourselves the gift of happiness on a regular basis. 
My dream also has to be self sustainable, to heal the deep wounding around money, worthiness and divine feminine healing work, so that we can become a beacon of light for those in need.
Of course my dream involves horses, adventure and balanced living.

Are you unsure about what this life is all about?
These are words I hear from clients on a regular basis
'I don't know why I am here?'
'I don't want to be here anymore, it is too hard, I want to go back'
'What is the point?'
'What is my purpose?'
'I feel a lot of anxiety on a daily basis'
You are not alone. 
I can see that many people are starting to ask these questions in their head, to question their existence and to wonder if there is more to life than what they have been told. Although it might seem like there are a lot of questions unanswered, the process of asking these questions is part of the drive for change. Sometimes change comes with the ending of things, of certain ways of living life, of certain friendships or careers, which can seem catastrophic at the time. This is a necessary process to go through in order to create something new. It is part of the inherent cycles of nature. To create a change towards a more fulfilling life, a simpler life, a life that transcends the limitations of what you've been told life should be like and should be lived. 
Part of my purpose is to remind people that on some level they CHOSE to come here and there is a purpose. What that purpose is, is for you to decide. By listening to your inner guidance, by tuning into your experience and discovering the richness inside. Perhaps that purpose is just to BE you, in all your magnificence. It is ENOUGH.
Don't despair, you are not alone. There are many of us, you don't see it in the media, you might not hear it talked about in the small talk, the people that are doing this questioning come in many different forms but the wave of change is rising.
