  • What keeps you awake?

    I was asked a strange but enlightening question recently  

    “What wakes you up in the middle of the night?”

    I began questioning myself and was crazily looking for some issue or long forgotten worry that was keeping me from sleep. The truth is I couldn’t find one!

    What wakes me in the middle of the night is usually inspiration, information and answers to the questions I have during the day!

    I often wake with the most detailed and intense information but never quite get round to doing much with it. The procrastination sets in! You know the type of thing those revolving negative questions like:

    What if I am wrong?

    What if I am not good enough?

    Should I not wait until I have X, Y or Z in place before I start working with this information?

    What if no one wants to hear this?

    Who am I to share this kind of information with others?

    What happens if I don’t act on this information?

    When  I allow those negative possibilities head space I question things too much. It then  throws me completely off track. Often what then happens is the information that I had but wouldn’t share is then mirrored to me as others share it and take it to the next level.

    Can you relate to this? It is a horrible situation it leaves you feeling deflated and frustrated, mostly at yourself. Self criticism really does push us down into that space where it seems pointless to do anything.

    What is it that really keeps me wakened?

    Its that frustration at myself for now grasping every opportunity that I am offered!

    Its not personal!

    What I have come to understand about this process is that it really is nothing personal.
    There is information being made available, we pick up on what is relevant to us, but if we don’t take steps to work with it and go with the flow it dissipates in the light of day. If we don’t take action on what we receive, then  someone else who tunes into this information will. It really is that simple.

    Learning to trust yourself

    Finding a way to trust that intuitive voice and to allow all this lovely information to flow is a must. This is a key aspect in moving forward. expanding your soul  star connection can not only gift you this confidence but increase the information downloads and also encourages synchronicities that lead us to where we need to be.

    It doesn’t matter whether its relating to  your personal journey, your spiritual growth or your work because the process is exactly the same.

    How to move forward?

    One  essence I can recommend to help with this process is “Sirius – Expansive Communication”.

  • Breakdown to Breakthrough

    Breakdown or Breakthrough?      Yes the choice is ours!

    I recently took a step back from anything that I literally didn’t “have” to do in favour of nurturing myself and having a well earned rest. I had been feeling increasingly triggered by everything and I had so much going on I really wanted to roar and just be left with my own energy to rest and refocus.

    It’s not a nice feeling – I knew something was going on for me but I was unable to see what it was. So I retreated into myself – I had a brief few hours where I had that awful feeling where I couldn’t see the way forward and everything was full of gloom and doom. I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders and I felt almost everyone within that world conspiring against me and restricting everything from my circumstances to my physical being.

    Thankfully I had the awareness to see this for what it was and rather than fall down a deep hole, I could actually now take the time to explore this energy. I felt like I was going through a process of imploding and exploding over and over again. I was exhausted. However when I stopped fighting it – the waves of discomfort slowed in their intensity.

    Rather than breaking down and feeling like I was going under I began to see glimmers of light. I began to breakthrough the barrier and shed the structure that had tightly held me, a bit like a butterfly breaking free from a chrysalis.

    During the process you can’t see your way forward, everything feels like it is breaking down and you feel that you are being swallowed up by everything around you. However that is when the magic happens, that is when you can begin to reform your energetic signature, when you have the chance to shift through previous barriers and restrictions.

    During this process you have to be bold but the boldness is not an external or “doing” thing it is having the strength to look deep within, really looking into the depths and allowing yourself to see what is going on, knowing that shining the light of awareness on it that you have the opportunity to transform it into something fresh and new. To turn it into something more fitting with the version of you that you are having the opportunity to evolve into. You need to let go of some aspect you don’t want to be able to create the room for something new and that also is true of energy. If we keep the old vibration then we will always have that attachment that will hold us in an energetic place where we no longer need to be.

    So, when feelings of overwhelm arise and you begin to have these horrid feelings rather than falling down that hole – why not take time to explore and consciously assist this process.
    You get to choose what parts you are no longer willing to allow to restrict you and in overseeing what you replace with a more positive light you are stepping up and taking responsible action for your own growth.

    It may well be difficult but it will be worth its weight in gold!

  • “Gentle Warrior” helps with a sad goodbye ~ taking my own medicine.

    I always believe there is divine timing in everything and although I can’t always see it I can feel the enormity of it working away in the background.

    I had been guided to release my essence range and to take my programme introducing “A Starlight led journey of self discovery” to the next level. I had been carefully planning what I was doing and everything was going to plan when there was a sudden urgency to just get it “out there”

    I found myself going live with my visible offer much earlier than I had planned and it almost felt that everything was being taken from my hands and divine guidance had kicked in. I needed to let go and trust the process.

    Then suddenly I was thrown a curved ball ~ within a few days of releasing all that I had been guided to, my beautiful 11 year old Border collie was suddenly taken ill. I had that nagging feeling that it wasn’t just a simple blip but I was devastated to find that she was in fact approaching her last few days and there was literally nothing that could be done.

    We were devastated, she was our beautiful girl and we certainly weren’t prepared for this.                             The next morning it was clear she was struggling more than usual and that she was in some pain and was just so tired.  I was solely responsible for making the decisions to make sure her passing was peaceful and that she didn’t suffer any more than she had to. She was “my girl” and it was always me she came to however I was struggling with my heart and my head unable to think clearly and obviously totally emotionally overwhelmed. I felt I couldn’t manage to do this! I wanted to bury my head in the sand and not have to stand and face the situation and do what needed to be done.

    I took some of my “Gentle Warrior” essence – which helps you to deal with things you would rather not have to or don’t feel you have the emotional strength to. It really did help and literally within minutes of taking it, and  without over thinking I found myself on the phone to the vet tearfully discussing our options – actually there weren’t any I just needed to be 100% sure I was making the decision for Meg’s needs and not prolonging her suffering for my own needs.

    We arranged a time for that evening and we proceeded to spend our last day together trying to make the most of it. We went for a short walk and had lots of interaction while trying to keep everything as “normal” as we possibly could. I used the “Gentle Warrior” essence several times over the space of the morning.

    Around lunch time I began using some “Leaf litter” essence on Meg, gently rubbing it over her ears which seemed to be where she was comfortable with it. I also began taking some of it myself. (This essence from Jan Stewart’s essence range helps us with transitional phases and letting go)

    I used a room spray with essential oils and essences that I often used and felt it was helping to keep the energy clear and focussed with a sense of familiarity. It was obviously a very emotionally charged day but we managed to keep things fairly calm and allowed Meg to do what she felt , sleep was becoming increasingly deep and longer as the day went on.

    As the dreaded time was approaching I took both “Gentle Warrior” and “Leaf Litter” again – also offering the latter to Meg, and sprayed the room liberally with our familiar spray. She was comfortable and as long as I was near her she was settled.

    Soon after when the familiar face of the vet arrived I felt really able to be fully there for Meg and to put my own emotional turmoil on the back burner.

    So on the 26th September,  on  her favourite blanky with her favourite treats and a huge cuddle and lots of reassuring words the final act of kindness for her was performed and feeling the love all around her she slipped gently from this world.

    It was a beautiful and fitting farewell to such a beautiful being and “Gentle Warrior” Essence helped me to keep it all together when I really had to. I was extremely grateful for having been able to do this for her.

    I also carried through with the process of releasing my essences and spoke with several people I had arranged to over the coming days. I took Gentle Warrior when I felt the need and I walked through this period of time with a commitment to divine timing and in honour of my beautiful girl.

    I really began to understand the power of this gentle essence and see how it could be helpful in so many situations.

    It had originally came through to help support parents of special needs children who were having a hard time and having to stand up for their children against the system. However any situation that requires your focus and attention when you feel emotionally exhausted and would rather run a mile could be faced with conviction with this gentle ally.
