"As I Began to Love Myself" - Poem by Charlie Chaplin
As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY”.
As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody as I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I call it “RESPECT”.
As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it “MATURITY”.
As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm. Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”.
As I began to love myself I quit steeling my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future.Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm. Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.
As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”.
As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”.
As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worry about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where EVERYTHING is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”.
As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me
and it can make me sick. But As I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART”.
We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born.Today I know THAT IS “LIFE”!

I dedicate this blog post to Eilleen Flatley, my darling mum whom died when I was just 14yrs old. She was in and out of psychiatric hospital for many year and when she died she happened to be staying in a locked psychiatric ward, she died at a age younger than I am now from a heart attack that was brought on by 2 types of meds.
Watching her struggles and imbalances in body mind and spirit as a young child gave me the deep desire, courage, strength and dedication to do what ever it takes to go beyond my comfort zones, perceived fear and limitations again and again to discover how to heal & empower thy self. I became fascinated about finding out what creates true happiness and what are the ways of walking the path of an empowered women gentle upon this earth. I know in my heart that by healing my self in body, mind and spirit, I am & have helped my mothers spirit heal too and transform this genetic lineage.
Epigenetic is a new science which shares the discovery that our biology and genes is influenced by the environment we grew up in. With this controversial science comes great potential to liberate and heal oneself by shining the light of awareness on learnt family behaviours, patterns and attitudes. All these can be changed with a strong desire and willingness to transform oneself from the inside out to establish new beliefs, habits and attitudes.
I am blessed to have walked my own unique discovery pathway to becoming the HEALED HEALER & to nowadays support others make this discovery within them self too with as much ease, joy, gentleness, compassion, fun and grace as possible.
I heard it said once " The future is the past healed "
