Transformation

Well the butterfly is out of the chrysalis. After surrendering and giving up the identification of being a writer, a new writer has emerged. Sounds odd I hear you say, let me explain. When you surrender and let go of your identification with who you think you are and what you do it paves the way for new updated versions of yourself to emerge. We are all going through transformations even if you may be unaware of it. Upgrades to our consciousness are taking place and you might have found yourself feeling irritable, sad, unwell or unhappy. These could be signs that you are in the symbolic chrysalis, soon to emerge as a beautiful butterfly. People around the world are experiencing an awakening in varying degrees. For me, I became disallusioned with being a writer and the whole submitting process to publishers who either reject or don't read your mauscript. Most don't contact you to let you know one way or the other. I wondered if my writing had any value and I questioned why I sho...

Letting Go

 I have been through many phases during my long spiritual journey. Letting go is a theme I have flirted with in the past but I am now taking it to the next level. I know that I am not my identity, nor my thoughts, my name or my gender. I like you, am a spiritual being having a physical experience. Duirng the last forty year or so I identified as a  hypnotherapist, a massage therapist, an energy healer, a writer. I am now letting all those labels go just as I once shredded all my certificates and diplomas. So what now?  I don''t know, there are endless possibilies when you let go of the  identification with "me" and "my".  Instead of knocking on the doors of publishers which is often  not only frustrating but also disappointing I am simply getting out of the cycle. What is meaningful to me seems not to be meaningful to others, this is the diversity of being human. I will give up writng for now, maybe for ever, and see what the universe presents me with. I am...

Being Creative

 I never thought I could write a  fictional story, it seemed like hard work to me. I am used to writing non-fiction and poetry. I am not sure that I am a typical writer as I cannot sit everyday to write, if I did I would be staring at the computer for hours on end with nothing to show for it. I can only write when the words come to me, which can be months apart and typically come when I least want or expect them to come such as in bed at night while I am trying to sleep, in the shower or whenever my mind is less busy which is not often. Recently my publisher asked me a question, which was, did I think I could write an epic poem. Firstly I had no real idea what one was and when I did some research I literally thought "I dont think so", I wouldn't know where to start. Also there was no guarentee that it would get published.  I think a day or two after the question had been asked I got the name for a character and a very small inkling of a possible story. I was amazed. I hes...

Make the journey your own

 We are all on a journey whether we know it or not. If you are on a spiritual journey you may be more aware of this. For many of us, we look to others to help show us the way to a more enlightened and fruitful inner life. This is both positve and negative in my opinion. Positive because guidance from those who have walked before us is valuable and helpful, negative because it can set up expectations that don't come to fruition for us and then we may feel like failures and wonder "what is the matter with me". The truth is we are all different and will have varied experiences. The fact is we set out on our journey looking for answers to who and what we are, we may walk a thousand miles and more before we realise that the journey inevitably leads us back to ourselves, the clues may be out there but the truth is inside of us all along. However the journey isn't wasted for we pick up valuable insights and often have amazing breakthroughs in understanding.  No journey is a ...

What does de-cluttering really mean

 De-cluttering isn't just about getting rid of "stuff" it is about moving "energy". Yes, even inanimate belongings have an energy as do clothes, ornaments and jewellery. We ourselves inbibe our  unique energetic signature onto things we wear, touch or own. Every room in our house or wherever we live holds some sort of mental or emotional connection to loved ones, not so loved ones or those around us.  For instance gifts that you have been given may hold pleasant or unpleasant memories, different rooms may signify some emotional attatchment from the past or the present. Holding on to things that no longer serve us, please us, or bring good feelings will silently influence us in some way.  When you are unable to let things go, they hold space that otherwise could bring better things. Making space means clearing the clutter away and allowing energies that are new, positive and that serve you better enter your life. This is not just on the physical level but also on...

Life is like a jigsaw

 I recently rediscovered the joys and frustrations of doing jigsaws. I noticed that when I start a new jigsaw the incessant voice in my head ceases to be dominant and a great concentration takes over. As I begin putting the pieces together I am reminded of life itself and how a jigsaw is a great analogy of how life is. Firstly I noticed that sometimes you have to concentrate hard to find the pieces that fit together, sometimes this takes hours if not days. Some pieces look like they fit and often will fit except that the joining ones don't. So, every piece has another that fits perfectly with it and joins with those surrounding it.  Secondly as the picture emerges you get an idea of how it is going to look but the picture isn't complete until every piece is in place. For me, when all the pieces look the same sometimes frustration takes over and I think I am never going to finish the job and I contemplate giving up. Some how though if I take a break and go and do something else...

Real or not

 This year I am feeling in to what is genuine and what is false. Letting go of old ways of being and old concepts is my aim for 2025. As we move into a new dimensional phase some of us feel between worlds so to speak. Not fully in the old or the new. This can be a confusing time but my simple advice is not to stress about it but to literally go with the flow. Resistance and fear prevent us from making the smooth transition from one phase to the next therefore creating a bumpy ride. So, how about simply letting go of the reigns and letting life take us where it will. It is an interesting idea and one that I hope you can embrace along with me.
