Episode 72. Outgrowing your teachers

Have you put your teacher/mentor on a pedestal? Are you struggling with accepting the fact that you've outgrown your teacher and it's time to either move on to another teacher more suited to your needs or realise that it's time you become your own teacher? Are you afraid of offending them or perhaps avoiding dealing with it because it's uncomfortable? Maybe you are afraid of embracing your own greatness and leaving your old teacher is like taking the stabilisers of your bike as you try to master cycling by yourself. Fear of all the falls, the cuts and bruises, and fear of failure. It could also be that you still have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and you keep seeking external knowledge and guidance to satiate that, which leads to moving from teacher to teacher, course to course, and retreat to retreat. In this case it could be that it is time to start looking within much more deeply and learning to establish and develop inner guidance.

Episode 71. What is your medicine and who needs it?

As a healer, are you working with anyone and everyone that comes to your door? Do you feel fulfilled working with them or are you just going through the motions? Do you feel like what you have to offer is not being received or appreciated? Do you feel that you are too much for your clients? Maybe they feel overwhelmed because you are trying to overfill their cup. I feel that medicine resonance is a vital part of fulfilling your potential as a healer. Is your medicine a match for your client's needs? Can they fully receive what you are offering them and feel the benefits of that? To be fulfilled and to be effective as healers we need to know what our unique medicine is and trust that it will be the perfect solution for the right people. Our medicine is who we are at the core of our beings. It is also an embodiment of all our overcomings, life experiences, life lessons, and unique frequency we emit. When we can accept that is who we are and the power we have to help the right people we will feel more aligned with the flows of source and life becomes more graceful and abundant for all.

Episode 70. Challenges in following Infinite intent

Aligning with Infinite Intent is a skill that not everyone can master, but when you do, it can lead to a much more graceful life. The river of life will flow in whatever direction the Infinite sees fit for the perfect moment. We can either align with that or try swim upstream against it because we don't like the direction it is going. In my own experience, and with 20/20 hindsight, I have noticed that with big changes that I have aligned with that I didn't particularly want to do, it has always been exactly what I needed in the long run. Sometimes aligning with Infinite intent can be immediately obvious and a joyous and graceful experience. Other times it can be so subtle that you don't even notice any changes at all. However, it is the times that you feel your whole world is being turned upside and you feel like you've dropped an atomic bomb on your loved ones that you really don't feel like you are going in the right direction. These are the moments that your faith and devotion to the one life, to source, are tested and you really need to pan out and see from the eternal perspective to manage the seeming contradictive short-term upheaval. That faith and devotion is something that is built up over time and is what drove me to surrender to moving to Canada with my children from Ireland. It's what drives me in my daily life too. From the words that come through me to the actions that I take.

Episode 69. Standing side by side

When an issue arises in a relationship I find it most helpful to not take it personally and stand side by side with your loved one as you address the issue together as a team. See the issue as an opportunity for growth for both of you and the strengthening of the relationship. When one person in a relationship has a blind spot for example, they may be displaying distorted behaviour than is very clear to you. Rather than straight up pointing it out to them in an accusatory way, it can be more empowering to approach it with compassion and find a way to address it as something non-personal that is held and viewed together side by side from the sacred space of the relationship container. See it as a game to release an old way of being, coping mechanism, or undesirable relationship aspect, etc., and an exploration to discover a higher version of your loved one, yourself, and the relationship. Your partner will feel more respected, loved, and held and will be more open to sharing deeper aspects of themselves that can bring healing and evolution for all.

Episode 68. 7 Steps to Healing Loss & Bereavement. Part 3

Step 5. Start planning your future without your loved one. This can bring up a lot of guilt, so be prepared to deal with that. Will you stay at the same job? Are you in a situation to take time off? If so, take as much time off as you can so can make a decision from a place of clarity and not distress. What is the best thing to do for your kids? Can you work part-time? You may want to enter another relationship for comfort or maybe to bring a level of stability back to your family. Take your time with this decision too and start by trying to find what you're looking for within yourself before trying to find it externally. Step 6. Start to discover who you truly are without your loved one. Much of what you thought you knew about yourself was through the eyes of your relationship with your loved one and all other relationships for that matter. This will change and so you have the opportunity to delve deeper into your soul to start discovering who you truly are without these external influences. Find out what makes you happy, what inspires you, what makes your soul sing, and start down that path. Step 7. Be your authentic self and be prepared to release all those you no longer resonate with. As you delve deeper into your journey of self-discovery you will realise that your circle of friends will change. Be true to yourself and don't let doubt or guilt stop you from following the path you're meant to be on.
