​The greatest secret in this world seems to be the lack of mainstream knowledge and media coverage of the great innate power that is within the self. AND yet this is changing fast thanks to Dr.Google and the fact that we are living in a cyber world of global connectivity , which allows us to communicate our personal stories and real discoveries in minutes, while moving our focus away from the mainstream madness and corporate agendas. 

I recall around 7 years ago when I read a book called 'integrity is everything' and it really connecting deep with in me this possibility within each of us. I cried so many tears as I began to realise that I had just been floating along thinking life was happening to me for so many years. I had not realised I had any power to really transform my world in a big way and direct my life path to where I wanted to really go.

Yet on reflection all these years onwards from reading this book I can see there was a divine perfection to every sweet step of my life to get me to that moment of opening to new realisation that resonated deeply within my heart. The pain of that forgetfulness poured through my tear ducts the more I read and the more I read the more  I realised that I wanted to belief it could be true for me. That I could be that powerful and create my life how ever I preferred if I could just get myself to believe. 

MY REVELATION
It was time for me to really awaken to the truth that life was not happening to me, it was responding to my every thought, word and deed. I had already some insight into the power of my beliefs but it was time to take that to w whole new level of embodied experience. 

It was my time to realise that I had been a fly on the wall of humanity long enough by that stage. I had dived deep into forgetfulness and the harshness of human density and emotional woundings for long enough to have a very authentic experience of it. It was time to truly be healed and accept the truth of my very essence and one day soon turn around and share this pathway home to ones authentic divine self by shedding the human hand me downs  of perception of limiting beliefs, patterns of separation, outdated habits and attitudes. To rediscover the heart centred gateway and key to self empowered creation and highest love.

It was time for me to awaken like millions of others around the globe to becoming aware of these special pivotal years on earth as a great new age of conscious awakening has been dawning. 

Self acceptance is a big key here to taking back ones power to consciously create ones life and moving beyond limiting beliefs and patterns of our fore fathers and mothers,  childhood and past life experiences .  Self love is the key to this self acceptance of the greater power within the self. The key step even before that is self care to develop enough caring for body-mind-spirit to eventuate to self love and self acceptance. So it really is true "SELF CARE IS NOT SELFISH , it is quite the opposite in fact. It may even be the mastery key to all eternity.  "The kingdom of god is within you" " knock and the door shall open"  ( Yeshua ) Jesus. 

UNFORTUNATELY RELIGIONS DON"T REALLY TEACH TRUE SELF WORTH OR THE GREATER POWER WITHIN EVEN IF JESUS & OTHER GREAT TEACHERS DID. 
How could I have known my true worth growing up when no one else seem to believe in there own worthiness. The book I read 7 year ago was the start of a epic vibrational change and transformation for me from the inside out. I would love to say it was easy, but heck no I got faced with things within me that brought me to my knees (energetically), eventually into a sweet surrender to even go beyond my deepest perceived imagined fears, limiting beliefs and feelings of  guilt and shame for whom I was. It was through these eventual sweet surrenders of my human 'small me' survival mode that really affirmed the great power within as I released my SMALL SELF WILL to my GREATER SELF ~ THY WILL. That part of me which came into this body as a baby and that part of me that will depart some day as spirit and be fully reunited with all eternity. 

In the beginning of my transformation I wanted so badly to believe what I was reading  on those pages 7 yrs ago  and yet my inner dialog had much work needed to redesign itself and shift the long held ingrained practiced thought patterns, old beliefs structures and childhood attitudes which I had picked up in my formative years from family, culture and religion.  They had formed so many of my inner images of perceptions, presumptions about life & myself within that life.

As children we are like big sponges that soak up our environment as we learn to perceive this earthly reality and our place within it. In today world this new science of understanding this phenomena is called epigenetics. I highly recommend reading a book called "The Biology of Belief" by Bruce Lipton. 

DO YOU HAVE A DISTORTED SELF IMAGE ?
 I recall when my inner self image was so distorted that I felt like some kind of a monster, I actually had to catch myself in the mirror over my teenage years to remind myself I actually was not as bad as I secretly felt within. But it was this distorted self image that kept me feeling shy, awkward, the need to wear makeup, use my hair to cover my face, hold my voice back and not speak up, put walls up around my heart to protect my sensitivities and that seed of eternal light I brought with me that no one else seem to recognise or value. I felt I had to figure out how to make myself strong & tough to be robust enough emotionally to navigate the human ways which seem so harsh, so judgemental, so confusing, so heavy, so unforgiving, so abusive, so disconnected. 

WILL 2016 BE YOUR YEAR TO REALISE YOUR SELF WORTH & THE POWER TO CREATE YOUR WORLD AS YOU PREFER  ? 
In 2016 I urge and invite you to open to your inner wise masterful self. You like me can also discover if you have not already done so that you are truly powerful beyond measure and you are supposed to be fulfilled in every area of your life; your creative wild imaginative self is your greatest tool to expand beyond that which has gone before. AND man do we ever need more of that in this world. Creatives are the solution finders and it is apparent our world need lots of dynamic solutions and fast. 

One thing I must add is that with this inner recognition of the self, comes with it a great responsibility and the ability to respond to life with conscious thought, action and deed means you have got to drop any old victim ideas about self in this world;  that even means dropping blaming the political nonsense for all the nonsense in the world !

Are you ready to go beyond the old victim consciousness of separation ? 

In essence accepting this is a re-rememberance that I AM THE POWER & I A ONE THE VERY POWER THAT CREATED ME. I know that may seem a mega stretch and yet if you are here reading this, something has lead you here so that you can give yourself the opportunity to review this possibility.

What if I can call upon that inner power to project onto this world canvas that which is of my choosing via my every conscious thought , word, feeling, action ? "Imagination is more powerful that knowledge" Einstein

YOUR ENERGY VIBRATION MATTERS TO THE MATTER AROUND YOU. 

In order to make the leap of faith into the bigger self for conscious creation
Our hearts must be open.
We must heal, forgive and release the old wounding memories that created the perceived walls of separation from our very nature within, 
We have to create new thought patterns in our neural pathways in alignment with our preferred new beliefs about ourself and our world
We must be accountable for our emotional feeling nature and start to understand the mind-emotional-body connection
We must expand our perception of self beyond the ego state to move beyond the daily get by survival mode
We must embrace I AM ENOUGH just as I AM

OUR VIBE CREATES OUR EXPERIENCES OF THE WORLD. SHIFT YOUR VIBE, SHIFT YOUR LIFE. 

• Laugh and the world laughs with you.
• Feel down and out and the world will appear dark and unfriendly and a depressing place. 
• Only you can chose your inner attitude, inner state. 
• Judgement about self and others drops your vibes, we only judge others because on some level we have those judgements about ourself 
• Radical Vibrational awareness and responsibility is the key to living your preferred dream into realty

By reading this you may feel more liberated or you may decide what a load of B.S. What ever you chose, own it as it is your god giving free will to chose as you will and no one can ever make you change if you are unwilling to chose that for yourself. It took me many years to really come to that awareness and A-Ha moment of profound understanding and realisation that no body needs to change unless they are truly  ready to chose something different. AND I think we can all agree that none of our ego's likes to be told what to do and if anything the more we are told what to do, often the more we resist the heck out of it; what ever that ' it' may be ! 

I AM READY & SAYING YES TO MY TRANSFORMATION :-) I JUST KNOW IT'S TIME. I AM KEEN TO GET GOING ON A 21 DAY WELLNESS ADVENTURE THAT WILL HELP ME TRANSFORM MY LIFE & LIVE MY DREAMS. 

Answer YES to one or more or all of these to qualify. 

• Are you desiring to empower yourself with greater health, wellness, abundance and freedom 
  
• Are you looking to discover powerful awareness and wellness tools to support your inner transformation and making the changes you desire in your life for once and all.
  
• Are you tired of working in a job you are not passionate about 
• Are you wanting to connect with like minded people that support you being you true self
• Are you deeply caring and sensitive and want to be part of the solutions on earth and not add to the disharmony 
• Are you done with negative self talk and negative conversations with others 
• Are you done with feeling like a victim, being disenchanted, anxious and depressed 
• Are you ready to commit to you 100% and do what ever it takes to be the best version of yourself 

If you said a BIG FRICKEN YES to any and all of the above, then I invite you to join me on a special cyber wellness adventure starting new moon JULY 4th - 24th. A perfect time of the month to set powerful goals and intention. 
 
On this special adventure we will be exploring different tools and attitudes for real and profound inner transformation within the self , I will be sharing some simply, economical, accessible and incredible powerful wellness tools and personal development practices that have helped me heal and transform my life. I have invested 1000's upon 10 x $1000's of dollars to educate myself with over many years so you don't have to. 

The energy exchange for this 21 day transformational and insightful journey is less that $5 dollars a day. Less than a cup of coffee. It is just $99 U.S. and you can make payment via paypal and credit card. 

AND just incase you are thinking shouldn't it be free. The answer is a big ass whopping NO and I will explain why. The truth is we all know that we put our money where our values are;  where our committed YES is! Your payment is a measure of your commitment to your own journey of inner transformation and as a symbolic of your belief of value in that commitment; to actually turning up each day for yourself to be supported with new life style tools that empower change from the inside out. Also everything in life is about a value exchange, so it is a way to create a balanced exchange between us that feels harmonious and honouring to the valuable knowledge and tools I will share with you to empower and uplift your life. In essence you cannot put a $ amount on this. In truth we live in a world that where we put our dollars speaks volumes as it is one of our agreed upon methods of value exchange  for services and products in our modern world.

This transformational wellness course is not for everybody and I am intend on supporting those whom are committed to investing in themselves. Frankly if you cannot say YES to investing this minimal amount in yourself then this may not be the right thing or timing for you to do.

"When the student is ready the teacher appears " . 

Over our 21 day Wellness Adventure Journey I will covered many

• self empowered healing techniques,
• simply wellness daily habits and
• go way more in-depth into the topic of abundance, the universal laws of attraction  and
• how we really create it from our vibe and attitudes and beliefs about what is possible or lack there of.
  

YES we truly are that powerful ! YEAH. 
I have so much insightful, exciting and empowerment gems to share with you if you are willing to receive them and I trust you will make the highest decision for you at this pivotal time in both your life and upon our precious mother earth.

One of my biggest life learnings is that it is not my responsibility to change anyone else but myself. So I know deeply only you can make the call if you are ready to say YES to ignite your inner greatness and be the change you want to see in the world around you. It will be my great honour to be a guiding light and support for you on your forward journey. 

YES YES YES you say ... ! It's time and I am ready. 

I will be starting July 4th 2016.
