Most of us at some point have compared our life, or our self with that of others, then found our self unhappy by dwelling on what we haven’t got by comparison. We strive to have or become the perceived significant ideology of that comparison. This can only serve to cause, self-absorbed misery and more unhappiness. Even if we do reach that goal, more often we will search for the next comparison to achieve and none of these could bring the fulfilment we are in need of. It’s a constant battle, to belong.
We need to consider that whatever makes one person happy may differ from another, so even though certain people or things may look good, this may not be right for us. Often it is not the things they have or the way they look that draws us to them, it is the energy they express by feeling good about themselves and what they have. This is why we would not gain by comparing our self to others.
Lets take a look at the tree and the bamboo plant, they are different in many ways. Yet they both have strength and beauty, they both are courageous and hardy and they both have many uses for existing. Neither would benefit by comparison or that would take away the individual significance of their reason for being. Even the smallest of flower or the ugliest weed strives for its own existence, it is only the eyes and mind of human kind that categorizes every single thing. Do any of gods creatures or plants care…. no, they just get on with being themselves and existing how they are meant to. They let go when they should, they grow when they should. They just strive to be what they are and nothing more.
I know it seems odd comparing humans to nature but we are all existing for the same reason. Man kind has taken this way out of proportion, so the next time we find our self comparing, we should remind our self that we exist to be individual and not to be a mere fraction of who we are, by comparisons.

Life has many cycles and when completion of one is eminent we begin to consider the process from the time we made the choice that gave birth to the experience. We start the cycle on a positive high, knowing that all is right. Over time which could be days, months or even years we fluctuate up and down through thought, feelings and emotions placing snippets of the bigger picture into place. Most will fit but some either won’t fit or we will try and make them because it seems so much easier than the other option that arises.
We often go through misery and uncertainty during these periods, intensity builds as we become more aware that there is only one way to complete the cycle. The final piece is in place when we move on in body, heart, mind or to spirit. Completion is all part of lives journey, fear of completion is part of our human characteristic, afraid that nothing will take place of what is complete. We should be aware from our own life experience, that when we have chosen to accept completion our next cycle reveals itself.
We also have to be aware that if each cycle brings similar experience, we may not have reached completion in its reality, we may have forced the outcome or turned our back to it. If this is so, we will find life repeating itself in another form. If you find yourself in this situation, you would benefit by connecting with your inner source and make choices with more consideration.
Remember, the end is the beginning with Completion.

There is more significance to this statement than what can be first assumed. It in no way means we need to run out and buy the latest fashion Wellington’s and a spade to plant potatoes. To be in tune with nature is to accept yourself for whom you truly are, to be how you are without accepting ridicule or harming others. Worry less and try not to hold onto control when your true self tells you otherwise through gut instinct. Yes we all do it, we assume we know better than this natural feeling we have been granted and all because our need to control pops a little voice in our head to say “No way, I’m right”. If we really pay attention when these thoughts pop up, we will notice the heaviness in our gut and yes, at some point in our future, we will pay the price of being in control.
This isn’t about being the boss or being controlled, these thoughts are purely man-made and egotistical. This is about being in tune with the natural source from within, balancing the thought process with gut instinct brings energised feelings and excitement through the whole being that emerges with us every day. It brings total relaxation to connect with renewing energies to support our body each day. Some would say having control does this but look at it this way, it may work for a short while but constant control would have to be maintained and this takes energy. Sleep would not be significant as the mind would always be planning the next strategy to keep control, the best outcome in the long run is exhaustion and depression. Then the consequence of our controlled actions might implicate us in violence or uncertain attention.
We cannot change the world as there is so many trying to control it, causing wars and famine or abuse and even death. We can change our self and not play into the opinions of others if it is against our nature. This is where the significance of the statement has more power, we should be true to our self and pity those who need to control, it certainly in no way means we have to be controlled by them. The best action is to distance our self from them, with support if needed. Be in tune with nature.

Changes can have a profound affect on the nervous system, even when the changes were consciously chosen. It seems the more relaxed into it one becomes, the universe has a way of bringing challenges or obstacles to test fortitude. It can be so easy at this point to fall back into the “comfort zone” that may have been the cause of endless issues, especially when confronted by the prospect of a different load of rubbish. Turning back may seem easy but we do have to consider how detrimental that situation was, otherwise why did we make changes at all. This stage is what I consider to be “Riding the Storm”, most of the seemingly new challenges were already there, hidden beneath the mountain of concerns utmost in mind. With that out-of-the-way the rest can reveal themselves and here is where we may assume the wrong choice was made and it will go away if we turn back, I can assure you it won’t. Going back may seem right for a while, then the whole cycle will repeat again and here we will be once again. This pattern can continue repeatedly, with different people and different places until such time we make a conscious choice to “Ride the Storm”

It is only recently that I have realized how much I have been Stuck in the Thought Zone. We all go there from time to time thinking the Mind can solve all the problems. My experience over the past 2 years leads me to believe that it can’t. We need a balanced Mind, Body and Spirit in order to resolve our issues.
I have used too much of my time, in my head, hoping to cure my business needs and personal needs. The only outcome was total exhaustion from the Think Syndrome and the conclusion for a cure was to Stop, Let Go and Rest. I released all the pressing Thoughts that fed on my energy and left me struggling with daily tasks, expecting to pass out on the sofa for a few days and only move when I had to.
The first few days were mostly taken up by closing business and claiming benefits for now, so I was still weary Thinking about what happens next. My next step was 2 days of feeling unwell and hugging the toilet a few times (say no more!). I can honestly feel that I have let go of everything, especially the Thought Zone which in turn cleansed Mind, Body and Spirit.
Today the sofa isn’t calling me as I had expected, the daily tasks seem more achievable and I barely sit down as I have so much to do. I was Stuck in the Thought Zone due to my own stubbornness believing I could Think it Through, yet I have done more by my thoughts, Feelings and Actions working together in a balanced manner.
If you are heavy in Thoughts, take time off and don’t get Stuck in the Thought Zone.
Use Thoughts, Feelings and Actions, together.

The mind is a very powerful tool that can work to benefit us or can be against us. My personal perception due to recent life changes, has proven to me, that Spirit never leaves us. After feeling Spiritually alone in my endeavours to keep business flowing, along with the added tasks of daily life, I felt quitting business was the final choice to bring stability at this time. Don’t get me wrong here because I know it was the right choice, I expected a void to appear as my ability is very significant to me. Instead what I did encounter was an influx of Spirit activity and an expansion of mind energy that compels me to offer guidance in new forms. Releasing the need to conform to “business requirements” has re-established my perception of Spirit and gives more light to the daily matters that get overlooked. It is therefore my perception, that working with others and for others on a Spiritual capacity, is more beneficial than being bogged down with “business requirements”. So if you are feeling alone and not in the right mind, check in on what could be “muddying up” your energy and give it a good cleansing then beneath it all you will find “Your Spirit”.

There was a time in my life that consisted of physical,mental,emotional and sexual abuse. Those were very dark times when I felt so alone and obliged to continue on that path, it seemed to be, all that was. I endured them for many years and at times I was battered close to death, but my will to live for the sake of my children helped me recover each time the abuse happened. I felt fat, ugly, weak and only significant as a mother.
To put the icing on that cake, I started having strange happenings. Abuse came from unseen entities and I would find myself hearing voices and seeing people who weren’t really there. I would go to bed and end up standing by my bed looking down on myself thinking I was dead. “Thats it now, I’m going crazy” was all that rumbled through my mind.
The strangest thing was that the other forms of abuse eventually stopped and these experiences took over my life. A power way beyond my knowledge had saved me in one sense and gave me cause in another, after all I didn’t want to be crazy, how would I recover from that.
Cutting a long story short, I found the “Power of ME” and all the guidance I place before you is from tried and tested experience. It is not all about the psychic abilities, they are not who I am, they are what I can do.The experiences I endured brought Healing to my life and the ability to help others through a Healing process. My main aims are to help those who are suffering on any level to find their own power and use it to better their situation.
When we realise the strength it takes to put up with suffering, then the fear of making changes can be overcome, with a great sense of pride and accomplishment. These are fears we have to face ourself and accept that at times we DO need to ask for support, no matter how “crazy” we feel. How we let any situation, issue or feelings affect our being, is purely down to what we see and believe in our “Self”.

I am a great believer in healing and self empowerment. Having survived the ordeals of trauma and abuse in life and accepting I have the power within myself to make changes, my aim is to pass on the knowledge I have attained from the experience. I had to conquer my demons alone and at almost 50 yrs of age it has been a long continuous journey.
My personal experience encompassed enormous fear of stepping out of abuse, yet when the courage to do so finally dawned, I realised that was the easy step. Over time I walked out of abuse, then found myself back in it with different people and issues. There is only so much that a person can take in these situations and it can kill the soul or push for a right to exist. I did the latter, it wasn’t easy as I had to look deep into myself to discover why I allowed myself to be in this situation. This introduction is only to express why I choose to write and I will only impress personal experiences on my blog if I believe it would help you, the reader.
Here you will begin to read insights, guidance and directions that will hopefully aid in every day issues. Changing thought patterns and actions can help everyone in any situation. Your comments will be viewed with an open heart and mind so do express them respectfully. I hope you come back and view my humble offerings and more so, I hope you find something to help make a difference within your self.
Blessings to you all.
