Global Rising Summit ~ Stand up, Speak out , Be Seen

4/13/2017

0 Comments

 

This is a very special summit platform of 36 speakers sharing there authentic self, stories, visions and gifts to offer hope, encouragement and inspiration to others at this time of humanities transitions, challenges and opportunities. 

Picture
I Mary Jo, Vibrant Living Retreats Co-director put my hand up and said YES to this invitation by the lovely hosts Janine & Heather. In essence I felt the resonance and the perfection of this platform to share my authentic personal stories growing up in Ireland and how that propelled me in my journey to seek out and to discover the answers to 'what create's true happiness, health and empowered transformation' ? . 
On this summit I share my deep passion for empowered wellness and how this came to be with the help of a very challenging and stressful upbringing. At age 14 my mother died of a heart attack in a locked up psychiatric ward being diagnosed with schizophrenia. Over the years she had been in and out of hospital which left me as more of the mother figure for my younger siblings and her as the child.

My father was 47 years when I was born and 27 years senior to my mother. He offered great insight of another generations post war years as he would recall the rationing stories of his younger years, the regular whipping that was given at school and the time's of no money to buy shoes to walk to school and so on. Growing up as his oldest daughter, his mind often times seemed like a record of repeating stories about past events and people flavoured with his own opinions. Opinions that I did not care to take on board as my own so I learned ( decided !)  to tune out from his repeating ramblings of what I felt was other peoples business, certainty not mine. I decided I did not want to meet people through his biased filters of them at young age.

Even to this day I have to be very conscious in my intentions to remember peoples names and I have little to no interest in gossip conversations. I tend to zone out very quickly when conversations go this way around me. I love speaking first hand with people and listening from the 'horses mouth' as genuine people share there own authentic stories of personal experience and discoveries. 

As much as I loved my parents growing up I knew there had to be a different way than the harshness, dramas and struggles of life that was presented to me daily as the norm. I had no idea what that was only that it was not the ways of my mother or father. I knew I needed to get out into the world to discover something different. 

So through knowing how I did not want to be in life gave me a deep determination and courage to seek out new experiences and to follow the impulses and illogical nature of my heart as it guided me the pathway to heal, free and transform my self from the limitings perceptions, guilt, low self esteem and lower vibrations that was normal living once upon a time. 

That journey took me along the road of alcohol, drugs, partying, travelling, laughter, tears, ill health and a turning point to decide to discover and invest in the ways of greater health, empowerment & happiness with nutrition, yoga, alternative modalities, meditation, healing, more travel, massage trainings, access consciousness, mind-body connection, entrepreneurship, energy intuitive, awakening kundalini experience, universal laws, experience of creation, mother nature, conscious creation, dec 21th 2012, new energy, transformation, ascension explorer, vibration and frequency, 5d, surrendering to divine service, rainbow bridge of light, inspired speaker, co-creator of new paradigms, acceptance of the god-source light within.  .... & BREATH ! ! ! :-) 

So here I am coming out and allowing myself to be seen more publicly sharing my authentic source light through my compassion for our humanity through the discovery of it for myself. I offer my insights, awareness, discoveries and wisdom with the intend to be of divine service to the highest good of all and to light the path of hope, encouragement and inspiration for whom ever resonates with my flavour of authentic relating, personal stories, a-ha's, imperfectly perfect nature and vibrant caring energy.  

I would be delighted to receive your comments after you watch the youtube video below and discover if you found  our conversation insightful, resonate, uplifting and any other ways that it has been of benefit or left an impression with you.  Also feel free to ask me any questions and I will do my best to respond. 

" change the way you look at something and the thing you look at changes " 

Namaste & Thanks for BEing HERE. 

Love, Light & Freedom 
Mary Jo

    Mary Jo,  Steve & the Vibrant Team !  

    Our Blog is a resource for us at Vibrant Living to share the good news, news; that which supports our human empowerment, V.L. updates and wellness inspirations to seed new possibilities,  insights, hope and connections. 

    Most of all we intend to share the good vibes that enhance living a vibrantly empowered and creative life in body-mind-spirit. 

    Vibrant Living is our dream vision coming to life and it is our greatest honour and joy to have the capacity to offer our wellness services in our beautiful retreat sanctuary in the alpine village of Hanmer Springs, New Zealand. 

    We acknowledge we are living in some of the most wondrous and crazy years on planet earth. Years that are proving themselves to be years of great changes, life transitions and transformations. Years that  at times will challenge each one of us individually and collectively to dive deeper to the very core of us, with the aim to crack open our hearts, release the past and reveal something new and liberating.  

    We are each in so many different ways being challenged to review our understandings of life as we thought we knew it; uncover our highest values and core beliefs about ourself and our place, direction and purpose within this life. 

    However in the midst of the challenges, chaos, stressful living, over whelm, anxieties, daily pressures and shocks to the body-mind-emotional system is a great opportunity to grow in ways beyond anything we have realised.  Hence the wellness industry if one of the fasting growing industries on the planet as more and more people want to empower there health, fitness, vitality and general well being. 

    " When things seem to be falling apart, what if they are actually falling together " .

    At Vibrant Living we are here to be of support to those that resonant as a bridge of  authentic light;  lighting up with care, vibrancy and compassion the opportunities to release the old daily habits and paradigms that does not work anymore or are simply outdated in our modern world that is in fact birthing a new cosmic 26,000 year cycle of energies and vibrations onto our planet earth.  There is a much bigger picture to current events and we are each being asked to play our unique and relevant parts. 

    We are in a new galactic cycle in which humanity is being encouraged to co-create a new template of living that restores personal empowerment,   harmonious living, innate abundance and sustainable wellness in body, mind, emotions and spirit.

    It is a great paradigm shift and a very rewarding one for those who choose to open to the new possibilities and make heart centred & gut guided choices with trust being redeemed in ones own life guiding source once more to follow ones passions, purpose and joy.  

    Vibrant Living just happens to be ours and we feel blessed each and every day to embrace this beautiful gift of life and be of divine service to this glorious life we are co-creating.
