The Soul Adventure of Healing and Empowerment

by | Jun 15, 2019 | 0 comments

I still have to shake my head and smile in wonderment as I can see the bigger picture of how our soul always leads us to what’s best for us. I never used to see it so clearly until I practiced dropping my judgments and opened up to possibilities. It’s definitely a practice to transcend your ego and that’s exactly what we do when we tune in every day to what our soul is guiding us towards…taking adventures. Because the soul wants these experiences and can’t have them without our humanness. Our life journey has deep and meaningful purpose.

So far 2019 has been a big healing journey for me.

My soul said it’s time to move more of that old, heavy energy from my past out of my body so I can keep moving towards my calling to help others heal, grow and learn to be their own best friend.

It started in the winter as I worked privately with a spiritual life coach, Jeffrey Eisen, whose specialty is channeling spiritual messages and supporting his clients to connect to their inner being and access the feelings that lead to our truth. I had an unconscious coping mechanism deeply in place which would push the feelings down as soon as they started to emerge. It was involuntary and it took support, practice and trust to counteract the response. I am much better at allowing my feelings to come up to be felt and leaning into them. I must say, they have led me to some amazing outcomes.

Although there is a lot of hope and I see change happening, society teaches us to avoid, deny and reject any feelings that aren’t deemed good. This is not healthy for us and mental health is a big issue most of us are affected by. I believe it’s also a big part of our souls’ adventures, to allow ourselves to experience all feelings fully.

I also began to see a holistic chiropractor, Dr. Mike Coulas, on a regular basis as my energy flow was quite blocked in certain areas of my spine and it attributed to way more issues that I realized. Combining physical healing with emotional healing at the same time is very important because it’s all connected.

As spring arrived I went to a few retreats where I was able to participate and share the Soul Adventure game with others.

How cool is that to be able to work and play at the same time!?!

These retreats allowed me to explore and nurture myself, to put me first. I needed the time and space away from my everyday life to reconnect with this new me I have been growing into over the past several years.
In May I went to a Women’s Visshudha Retreat at the Grail Springs Wellness Centre. Visshudha is Sanskrit for the Throat Chakra.

When we arrived we all had our chakras and auras read with the Biopulsar machine and it was pretty fascinating to see the transformation. The owner of the centre is Madeleine Marentette and she’s been doing these readings for over 15 years. We were educated on common themes among women’s chakras. Here’s my before and after the retreat images and you can really see how my throat chakra was out of balance and then came into balance. A balanced chakra is in the range of 45%-65%.

Our chakras manage our energy and our aura is our energetic field that surrounds us about 3’ outwards. If we don’t have good energy flow and are unbalanced for long periods of time our bodies feel it and start communicating to us mainly with aches and pains.

If we abuse our body with too many unhealthy habits our aura will be weak and allows for harmful energies to enter into our energetic field. This affects us in so many unhealthy ways.

I had been struggling with stepping into my true essence, my power, for fear of leaving others behind, for being too powerful that it makes others uncomfortable because they feel my energy.

I don’t mean powerful in an overpowering way, I mean my authentic power which is fully embracing who I am, valuing myself and being ok with being me and knowing that some will not resonate with me.

My past pattern was to be a chameleon and be who others felt comfortable with.  It felt out of alignment once my awareness saw what was happening. I was forsaking myself because I was afraid if they knew the Real Me they wouldn’t like me so I stayed safe and small.

No one should feel they have to do that and this is another soul adventure so many of us experience. Connecting with other women who are all on their own unique path with many similar travels is very empowering.

After this retreat I participated in the Love and Money Bootcamp with my spiritual teacher, Moira Bush. Getting my butt booted to learn more deeply about my shadows that keep me in sabotage, victim and wounded child energy was a game changer for me. To understand the connections between love, money and joy and how we so easily block financial abundance because we block love and joy resonated deeply with me. Allowing myself to experience fun, pleasure and happiness was not a regular occurrence and one I’m still practicing. I’ll be doing my #joychallenge this year!

Using the Colour Mirrors System had a huge shift in my vibration. What came shortly after this experience was synchronicity after synchronicity. I was led to expand my business into the U.S. and was invited to speak at a conscious raising conference called Waves of Light and share about the Soul’s Journey and the Soul Adventure game in Florida in January 2020!

Once again I feel very grateful to combine work and play with like-minded people!

I also pitched my business expansion idea to judges at the Canadian Export Challenge and was short listed from 200 down to 20! I didn’t make the next cut down to 6 but to be part of the 10% originally chosen showed me my idea is viable and “I can do this”. I also got a lot of great information and connections to support me in this area so it’s happening!!

I don’t want to make it sound like everything was perfect and this all got handed to me. That’s not how it works.

I had to show up every day for myself, by putting myself first, taking small steps and moving through the uncomfortable parts of emotions, fear and relationship challenges, with myself and others.

So really my message circles back to the beginning, our soul is calling on us to take the adventures it came here to experience. We can do it with more ease and grace if we are open to it and stay aware and conscious to the healing and empowerment we are being led towards, even when it doesn’t feel like it’s happening.  OR we can struggle with a ton of resistance and suffer the pain even more deeply because we move into suffering and dis-empowerment.

It’s your adventure and you get to choose.

If you’ve had enough suffering and want to lean into it and ride the waves of your adventures I’d love to explore how I can support you in this.

Please book a complimentary, no obligation clarity call with me. You will walk away with next steps regardless of the outcome.

Besides impacting the lives of others to ‘be real and love life’ the most powerful thing about the work I get to do is the reflections of the teachings that come back to me. I always receive some type of wisdom, healing or blessing from the experience, whether it’s a private, group session or a speaking event.

Whatever the message is that I’ve conveyed I am somehow reminded of how it applies to me as well and it guides me towards the next stage of my growth.

Being aware of the subtle messages that are being sent to guide us forward is very empowering.

Last weekend at the Soul Full Day conference, I guided a group of 70 women through a visualization meditation to identify and let go of a fear story holding them back from what they truly wanted for their life, freedom to live their love story.

It was remarkable to witness them releasing the fear and claiming their love stories, seeing and feeling themselves living in the higher potential of their dreams.

This week I’ve been deeply reminded of the fear story that I’ve been carrying, ‘not being well enough to live a fulfilling life because my digestive health is failing’.

This is the same story my grandmother carried, and she died in fear with this story in her which was unconsciously passed on to me, and I accepted it.

For 8 years now I’ve been having various challenges with my digestive health. I’ve seen many different professionals and tried many different remedies and lifestyle changes. Some have worked and some haven’t. Over time things seemed to have mostly settled, then just a month ago the issues flared up again in a bigger way.

This brought up the old fear story for me as I prepare for a trip of a lifetime. I’m going to Egypt on a sacred pilgrimage to the visit the lands and ancient sites with 13 other women. This will be my first trip overseas and I’ve always been fascinated with Egyptian history, never thinking I would get the opportunity to visit until it showed up to me. I was very drawn to go, and decided I was going, even though it felt way outside my ability to be able to take such a trip.

Worries and a wide range of emotions have been coming up for me since these flare ups have been happening. My mind races and makes up stories based in old fears.

What if I am not well enough to fully experience this trip? What if I am stuck in my room and miss the tours, or what if I am not able to digest the food there? All that disappointment and money spent if I might not be able to full experience it.

These stories are very similar to what my grandmother used to tell herself. She was afraid to go far from home, let alone on a plane to another country. Everything centred around her digestive limitations and she was petrified of having an ‘accident’ while out in public. These fear stories debilitated her and she became a hermit and was very lonely in her later years.

I will never forget seeing her in the final days of her life living in fear. I visited her almost every day and seeing her like that was very sad because there wasn’t much I could do other than comfort and reassure her that she would be ok.

What it did do was motivate me to face my own fears and not go down the same path as she did. In this regard, she was a great teacher to me and not long after she transitioned I was divinely guided to take the Radical Forgiveness Master Coach 10 day training in Atlanta.

It was a huge step for me, and again way outside my comfort zone, but in the end it was one of the best things I could have done for myself because it set me on the trajectory of facing my fears, and the journey of living my love story.

I am eternally grateful to be on this path of self-forgiveness and self-acceptance just as I am, and in time I have learned to love myself. I’m still on this healing journey however this year I’ve had some major shifts in this area of my life and feel truly worthy and deserving of this love for myself because I have freedom from the fears.

Numerology 9

This is where the synchronicity comes in again.

It just so happens that this Friday, the day I fly to Egypt, is the 9 year anniversary of my grandmother’s passing, and it’s a full moon!  You just can’t make these things up. I didn’t realize the mysterious alignment of these dates until just a few weeks ago.

In numerology the number 9 represents endings and completions and I have a strong intuitive feeling that this trip is going to be transformational for me as a new beginning.

The other day when I was dancing my grandmother came to my mind, she was dancing with me, and I know she is leaving me these breadcrumb signs to follow to complete this stage of my journey. I made a promise to her that I was going to end the cycle of fear she carried and commit myself to healing into wholeness.

I have no doubt that this is all happening for me, rather than to me.  And unlike my grandmother, I will face my fears and take this trip and I will trust in the divine unfoldment of it all.

I am reminded that everything is always working out for me, even if it doesn’t seem that way and she is cheering me on all along the way.

These are the same phrases I spoke to the women when I was on stage just a few days ago and they echo loudly in my mind as the beautiful blessings of having the freedom to live my love story.

If you would like to experience the guided visualization for yourself listen to the audio recording so you too can be free from your fear story and claim your love story.

In my next blog I will share about my travel adventures so stay tuned, and if you would like to be notified when I share it you can join my email Love Letter list at the bottom of this page.
