I am fully supported.
I lived in fear for most of my life.
I had developed such a sense of lack in my life that even though I always had clean clothes and food to eat, I was acutely aware that it could all be taken away in an instant. I ‘knew’ money didn’t grow on trees and you had to work hard for everything you got. I ‘knew’ that even if I did that, there were no guarantees so I had to squirrel and save and never enjoy myself too much in case that somehow made me greedy and my happiness or support or money would be taken away.
I learned this as a fact. It was a belief that I felt kept me safe for years. Until I realised that it didn’t.
It gave me the impression of safety, whilst keeping me trapped in a prison of my own making. It stopped me achieving my potential, being vulnerable and connecting with others fully, because I was scared the world was out to get me, and I had to watch my back.
Changing those beliefs took a long time. It took many books, many courses, many teachers. I still drop into lack thoughts every now and again. The last couple of weeks tested me. And yet, I PROMISE YOU, it is worth it.
The thing is, if something doesn’t feel good, if it doesn’t nourish your soul and give you a sense of peace and purpose, you get to change how you think and feel about it. You have that power.
If something doesn’t feel good, there’s a belief or judgement or opinion – a meaning you’re making of it – that is coming from a place of fear, lack or attack. You can release that and ask to see with love and abundance instead.
Your choice. I can only tell you that when I notice that feeling of fear, of worry, and I consciously shift my thinking to one of being fully supported, and not having to know HOW I will be supported, I am always supported. Money always comes. Opportunities always come. Friends always come. Everything always works out.
If you’d like a coach and accountability partner to help you make love and abundance your regular state of being, send me a DM and let’s talk x

On a purely physical level, fear creates stress. Stress creates inflammation. Inflammation weakens the immune system.
On a spiritual level, ACIM teaches that all healing occurs at the level of the mind. Fear comes from a lack of acceptance of our experience. Peace and holistic wellness comes from a being with what is, doing what we need to do, without attachment or fear of any unknown outcomes. Knowing that all is well.
It is too easy to feel the collective energy of fear and lose ourselves in it. So I am reminded daily of my wellness, and that we are surrounded by love, if we choose to see it. All is well, and exactly as it is supposed to be for our higher learning and consciousness.
When I bring my attention to the still place inside me where I know love is, I can expand that sense of peace outwards and know there is no need to be afraid, and that we are all one. How can we support each other if not through expanding our sense of peace and love out into the world (and supporting our immune system in the process)?

I’ve worked with more than one client recently who realised that they were choosing to hold onto their own pain. They could see the light…just….but it was under a layer of pain that they were choosing on some level to hold on to.
Whenever I have more than one client experiencing the same thing, it’s normally an invitation to look within myself as well for the same thing. Where am I choosing to hold on to pain, instead of allowing it to transmute to love?
And the question then becomes….how do we ALLOW the pain to move (to transmute, shape shift, or move into the background)? For me, this work begins and ends in forgiveness. Forgiving ourselves, forgiving others, removing our judgements and opinions about victims and perpetrators, right and wrong and good and bad. Life happened. We had an experience. It felt painful. We saw it through the eyes of fear. How long do we want to continue to hold that pain? Will letting it in, accepting it and allowing it to move so we can see the light within, somehow mitigate or condone what happened?
It comes down to this: would we rather be right (I got hurt – I’m entitled to feel hurt), or happy (it happened, I don’t know why, so perhaps, I can see this situation with love instead of blame)?

Two quotes are really playing over and over in my head today. I’m not sure why, but I’ll share them with you anyway, for whoever needs them… “I am not here for your understanding of who I am. I am here for your understanding of who you are. I am your mirror. How you feel about me, what you see in me, the thoughts that arise from your encounter of me, the judgements you hold about me, are all reflections of you. They have nothing to do with me.” ― Emily Maroutian, Thirty: A Collection of Personal Quotes, Advice, and Lessons
And, “I am here only to be truly helpful. I am here to represent Him Who sent me. I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do, because He Who sent me will direct me. I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes there with me. I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.” – A Course in Miracles, T-2.V.A.18

Breathe. Whatever is happening, however you feel, come back to your breath.
I’m being reminded these last few days how powerful our breath is: how much it controls our nervous system and how we can release the tension held in our bodies when we remember to use it consciously. The breath is one of the few systems in our body which is both conscious and unconscious – it happens all by itself, without any intervention from us, quietly, in the background of our lives, requiring no effort and, when we choose, we can consciously direct our breath to cool us down, warm us up, calm us, enliven us and heal us.
I am so grateful to the yogic teachings of pranayama for all the wisdom that has been shared with me about how powerful the breath is, and yet, at it’s most simple, it is equally as potent a healing tool.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Allow yourself a few moments of calm to turn inward and rest
