This week's blog is a quick update about my new book ... 
And as the title suggests ... it is SOOOOOOOOO CLOSE to being ready ... I can smell that new book smell, I can feel the book in my hands, I can even see myself standing on stage and sharing the stories inside with all of you. 
And it is not quite done yet ... 
Have you ever had a desire or a goal that took a bit longer than you expected?
Have you done most of the steps and there is only a few more to take?
Have you felt that feeling of ... almost?
It's frustrating right??!!
And so, today ... in my feeling of 'almost' I'd like to share with you some tips on how to release the feeling of frustration and enjoy the nearly there. 

TIP #1 - List your achievements so far:
I have to remind myself that I have created a book (for heaven's sake!) ... I remembered stories, wrote them down, found a supportive and authentic publisher, put the stories into a readable format, had friends help me to do first edits, let strangers read my work (eek!), had great feedback from professional editors, reworked the stories so they flow, got friends from all over the world to review the manuscript, have 3 x celebrity endorsements ... and started to create a network of supporters who are excited to read the final product. 
I am a lot further along that I thought. 

TIP #2 - Celebrate the present moment:
When we are working toward a goal it can be very easy to slip into the mistaken mindset of only celebrating when the final product appears. It's super-important to celebrate the present moment. That is where we live. It is NOW. Right now! If we wait to celebrate later we will likely lose our inspiration and motivation for the goal.
So, I celebrated the positive appraisal. I celebrated the encouraging first edit. I celebrated the wonderful feedback from my friends. I celebrated the celebrity endorsements (Yay! Thanks Brian David Bruns, Catherine DeVrye and Dr Carol Head). And now I am celebrating the final edit going back to the publisher ready for formatting. *happy dance*

TIP #3 - Wallow in the imagination of the goal:
As adults we are not really encouraged to use our imaginations ... it's usually only allowed for kids. 
But Denise Linn says that we need to reclaim the imagination and use it for healing our past and creating our futures. 
You see the Universe doesn't know the difference between real or imagined.
It responds to the feelings that you are creating.
So, if you are imagining a goal, believing in it completely and seeing how you will get there ... and feeling excited and hopeful ...
Then the LAW OF ATTRACTION states that all the roads will clear and the thing you are imagining will magnetically be attracted to you. Because things that are the same vibration connect with each other. 
That is why you can't attract something that you don't believe will ever happen. 

Carolyn Myss says that we are ON our destination ... our journey of life IS the destination ... if you are asking 'where am I going?' or 'when am I going to get there?' you are asking the wrong questions. 
May your journey be as enjoyable as your destination.

This week's blog is about the super-power of raw clear quartz crystals ... 
Quartz is the most powerful healing and energy amplifier on the planet because of its unique helical crystalline form. 
Its found all over the world. Australia has some beautiful quartz ... in areas like Queensland - Cloncurry district; New South Wales - 
Mt Hope, Inverell Area; Eastern Victoria - Beechworth, Mooralla; Northern Territory - Kalkarindji - Wave Hill Station; and Western Australia - Yellowdine Lake. 
When my parents do their yearly caravan trip to warmer weather (to escape from the Tassie winter) they usually collect some beautiful raw quartz pieces for me. There is a photo of some of them attached to this blog. 
They come in all sorts of colours ... pink, grey, green, blue, orange and white.
They don't look like the quartz you see in a shop because they haven't been polished and manicured. 
It is said that the natural or raw pieces have a much higher vibration than the polished ones. 
Makes sense ... all natural is best! 

Did you know that Clear Quartz Crystals can be used for these conditions and situations:
* Unblocking stuck emotions - that could be causing pain in the body
* Absorbing negative energy in a room, house, office or your body
* Regulating energy and  stimulating the immune system
* Protects against radiation because it generates electromagnetism.
* It doubles your Bio-magnetic field
* It cleanses and enhances organs and subtle bodies and acts as a deep cleanser
* It raises the energy to the highest possible level
* It enhances psychic abilities and attunes your spiritual life purpose
* It dissolves karmic seeds - use for past life regressions
* It aides concentration and unlocks memory
* It is a great energy saver - you can put quartz on a fuel line of a car and save fuel
* It is excellent for soothing burns
* It harmonises and aligns the chakras 
* And ... they are used in Ultrasound Machines around the world ... true! *see below blurb about ultrasound machines.

So, if you'd like to have some clear quartz crystal of your very own, let me know.
I have a selection of amazing natural pieces that you can purchase. 
This week is also WELLNESS WEEK ... so call me to book an appointment.
Or check 'What's on for the month' for available appointment times. 
Wellness Week special offer ... 90 minute Reiki Healing session with a free piece of natural clear quartz $150

CLEAR QUARTZ CRYSTALS IN ULTRASOUND MACHINES
"The transducer probe is th­e main part of the ultrasound machine. The transducer probe makes the sound waves and receives the echoes. It is, so to speak, the mouth and ears of the ultrasound machine. The transducer probe generates and receives sound waves using a principle called the piezoelectric (pressure electricity) effect, which was discovered by Pierre and Jacques Curie in 1880. In the probe, there are one or more quartz crystals called piezoelectric crystals. When an electric current is applied to these crystals, they change shape rapidly. The rapid shape changes, or vibrations, of the crystals produce sound waves that travel outward. Conversely, when sound or pressure waves hit the crystals, they emit electrical currents. Therefore, the same crystals can be used to send and receive sound waves." Reference: https://science.howstuffworks.com/ultrasound2.htm

This week's blog is about angels ...
Sometimes I like to meditate and imagine that my guardian angels are really sexy, hot men ... 
I mean ... who doesn't right? L.O.L
But seriously, when I first learnt about how to communicate with angels I was in my training with Doreen Virtue in QLD. 
She was talking about all of the 15 different Archangels and their specialties ... 
**I will send you the list of the Archangels and their coloured light / special skills for your Friday Freebie (look out for it). 
It was fascinating. I had never really thought about the possibility of a TEAM of angels helping us with our lives. 
Then we did an exercise to discover who our personal guardian angels are.
This was a revelation to me too ... I didn't grow up talking about angels ...
I mean I'd heard of them ... but I was excited to know that I had my own guardian angels I could ask for help.
You can do this exercise if you like ... it's very simple.
1. Sit in a quiet space ... in nature works really well ... but your living room chair is good.
2. Close your eyes ... take three (3) deep breaths.
3. Ask in your mind - or out loud - "Dear guardian angels, please come into this room and let me know you are here." 
4. Pause and feel for any changes in air pressure or heat / tingling nearby
5. Then ask - "Dear guardian angels, please tell me your names." 
6. Pause and listen, feel, sense their answer.
7. You may think of a name that is a good friend or a family member or maybe it will be an unusual sounding name.
8. Don't logically override ... trust what your angels give you.
9. Last step is to ask your guardian angels - "Please show me a sign in the next week to confirm that these names I heard are correct." 
10. Then be open to getting your confirmations.
This is a great way to start trusting your intuition and hearing / confirming your angel's guidance.
My guardian angels are Rosa and Andrew ... (and yes he is very hot ... much like the guy in the photo below ... wink). 
If you'd like to learn more about how to communicate with your angels ... you could book in for the 5-week "How to communicate with your guardian angels course" - at Wonthaggi Mitchell House - starting Tuesday 16th October @7pm.
​Investment: $100 (concession) / $150 (adult) / $120 (teens).
I look forward to meeting you soon.

This week's blog is about using your intuition to make decisions ... 
I have to tell you that most of my life I didn't know I was using my intuition. 
You know when you are looking for jobs and there is an advertisement that 'jumps out at you' ... 
You know when you are meeting a person for the first time and you get a 'good vibe' from them ...
You know when you want to travel to a certain country and you've just 'felt like it would be a cool place to visit' ...
Well ... THAT is your intuition!
That good vibe ... that feeling ... that seeing something jump out at you ... that's your internal GPS (your intuition) giving you tips.
And we've all had those tips when we are going the wrong way too right?
You've been in a job that 'makes you feel sick' or 'irritated' or 'frustrated'...
You've all been in a relationship that you knew felt 'wrong' or 'off' from the beginning ...
You've all been in a situation where you feel 'uneasy' or 'fearful' but can't quite pin-point why ...
So, I have a cool process that I learnt from Robert Holden (author of Shift Happens) that can help you to tap into your intuition and make better decisions.
He says to use the Traffic Light System when making decisions or choices.
a) Think about the decision eg. should I take this job? or start this relationship? write this book?
b) Feel in your body ... when you consider this question does it have a RED light reaction (STOP! NO!) or an ORANGE light reaction (MAYBE) or a GREEN light reaction (YES!) ?
c) Feel in your heart / soul ... is it a RED light, ORANGE light or GREEN light?
d) Feel in your head / mind ... is it a RED light, ORANGE light or GREEN light?
Once you have your answers ... consider ... 
If you have 3 of the same colour that is your clear action to take. 
If you have 2 of any colour that is most likely your true authentic answer - note which part of your body is not in alignment. 
If you have 1 of each colour that is usually a maybe ... more information is needed.
Remember that your head / mind will usually go for the practical answer, but this may not be good for your body, heart and soul. 
Most times we make decisions from the head / mind only. 
Meanwhile our body, heart and soul are crying out ... Noooooooooooooo!
I encourage you to try this method for a week. 
Do it with big and small decisions ... see what happens. 
You might be pleasantly surprised at the results.
Perhaps you'll make different choices from now on.
Let me know how you go.
