In The Simplicity Lies Clarity

Clarity and Simplicity   
“Less is more” – Let this be your new mantra

The way everything in the universe works is incredibly simple.

We have the tendency to complicate our lives immeasurably. The consequence of this complication is that it keeps us stuck. We shoot ourselves in the foot so to speak! Complexity leads to an overwhelmed state of mind, and an overwhelmed mind can’t see things clearly.

If you are one of those who overcomplicates his life, try to go back to basics and see how this will change your life for the better.

In the simplicity, there is this enormous clarity. This principle applies to both businesses and individual lives.

One of the main reasons that we complicate our life is, that it helps us to feel important. It is our ego that likes to complicate and confuse things. Our heart is not interested in creating obstacles! 

The guidance of the heart is always clear!

The mechanism of the heart is a perfect example how the universe works. It is essentially doing two things: It is pushing out, and it is receiving back. The analogy of the universe is the same. What we send out vibrationally (thoughts, feelings, state of being) is what we receive back. In other words: we reap what we sow. 

If the energy can flow freely and we don’t interrupt it with resistance and negative thought patterns, we feel energized, vibrant and full of vitality, and, this will be then reflected in our personal and professional relationships. As a side effect, we will find ourselves very often at the right place at the right time and we will be able to grasp opportunities when they show up because we understand that nothing comes by chance.

Of course, it doesn’t necessarily mean that we won’t experience any challenges or intense growth periods, but those challenges won’t throw us completely out of balance for an extended period, and we will be able to find creative solutions to any arising obstacles. Even when we have moments of doubt and insecurity, we will gather ourselves quickly, and we won’t allow ourselves to be out of alignment for too long. In fact, we can use those times of doubt and insecurity to reach higher levels of awareness, confidence, and clarity if we understand that they show up for a reason.

A very intense time or personal growth or times of failure are the best times to plant seeds of creative solutions and success.

However, if the energy gets blocked for any reason (usually through negative thought patterns or when we allow the external circumstances to dictate how we feel or when we feel powerless), it stagnates and gets “smelly” very quickly like a muddy pond. It won’t take long until the effects of these imbalances/blockages will attract unfavourable circumstances. 

Similarly like a cardiovascular system. If there is a blockage, we risk having a heart attack.  A heart attack is the result of a blocked blood supply to the heart muscle. 

In my work as a  Holistic and Intuitive Counsellor and Life Coach, I explore these inner dynamics, and we also look which energetic blocks are preventing the energy-flow, and we clear these blockages in the sessions.

Looking for solutions in all the wrong places

“Traveling is a fool’s paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places. At home I dream that at Naples, at Rome, I can be intoxicated with beauty, and lose my sadness. I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from. I seek the Vatican and the palaces. I affect to be intoxicated with sights and suggestions, but I am not intoxicated. My giant goes with me wherever I go.” 

― Ralph Waldo Emerson

We are wired in such a way that we spend 99% of our time trying to fix things in the external world. We change jobs, partners, countries without realizing that we are always taking ourselves with us wherever we go. We attract as a reflection of ourselves those experiences which are part of our vibrational frequency

If we experience one drama after another in our life, for example, we often spend a lot of time trying to fix things on the outside instead of asking a different question:

“How do I create or attract this?”

The moment we find an answer to this question is the moment of inner freedom. 

We are wired to believe we can control and fix circumstances, and no one has taught us that the external conditions are a reflection of our conscious and unconscious beliefs and of what we send out vibrationally. Our personality vibrates at certain frequencies which send out the messages into the universe.
Everything comes back to us in response to the energy generated by vibration of our own thoughts, emotions, and beliefs.

Realizing that we are a physical expression of a nonphysical consciousness will make all the difference.

In short: You are a powerful being! You can create your own frequency through awareness, focus, concentration, and meditation and by prioritizing what truly matters and withdraw your attention from all objects of distraction.

“Man is a microcosm, or a little world, because he is an extract from all the stars and planets of the whole firmament, from the earth and the elements; and so he is their quintessence.”
-Paracelsus

Many ancient philosophies say that man is the microcosm of the Universe. Man the microcosm, the universe is the macrocosm. Some also say that we live in a holographic universe. Each part is contained within the whole, and the characteristics of every single part are reflected in the whole. In other words, each point of existence contains the infinite One.  There is a relation between inner and outer.
For a better understanding, we can use as an example the whole plant and the seed. In the entire plant, we see a Macrocosm, in the seed a Microcosm.

In the West, we pay more attention to the external world. However, many cultures in the East pay more attention to the inside world because the outer world is a reflection of the inner world. We are the filter; we are the projector. We are dreaming our reality into being, just like in a dream at night.

Neuroscience suggests that our brain receives about four billion nerve impulses every second and that we are only consciously aware of about 2,000 bits, or about 0.00005% of all the potential information.
The remaining information is filtered from our conscious awareness by “deleting.” What we erase depends on our beliefs, language, decisions, values, and memories. The resulting internal representations are how we perceive the world (our reality), and this drives our behaviours, often confirming that our perception is ‘correct.’

Observing this microcosm/macrocosm principle will help you tremendously in your day to day life.

The moment you change, your relationships change. Every time, no exception.

The other person or the situation doesn’t necessarily have to change, but the way you interact with them and view the situation will change.

Next time when you feel that somebody or something is the cause of your suffering or frustration, stop for a moment and start paying attention to the root of the cause and examine your lack beliefs carefully.

  • Once you get in touch with the lack belief that is generating the uncomfortable feeling, acknowledge that this is your current belief.
  • Own it completely! (You can not change what you do not own.)
  • Then ask yourself: “What belief would I like to replace this belief with?”
  • Once you decide what your new preferred belief is, accept it.
  • Adopt it, feel it and be it!
  • Trust wholeheartedly that this new view is now active and functioning within your entire system. 

We do create our reality through the energy which we carry inside. We create the things which we like and also the things which we don’t like. The biggest challenge is that we have the tendency to be vibrationally lazy and live our life on autopilot and we don’t pay enough attention to how we feel and thus what kind of vibration we emanate.

Taking responsibility may be initially challenging especially if you are used looking for the cause in the outside, but it is very rewarding and will improve your life quality in the long run.

However, the fact that you know that you create your reality does not mean that you should accept inappropriate behaviour or put up with everything. 
Many of my clients are kind, peaceful, generous healer type souls, but they often lack assertiveness skills or find it difficult to speak up for themselves. They remain in unhealthy relationships or job situations and try to accept the situation instead of making healthy changes. This is not kindness or wisdom but a lack of self-respect and self-love. If your kindness is just a façade and stems from a lack of confidence or the fear of not being loved or not being good enough, then it won’t serve anyone.

In fact, if you try to be kind with an underlying vibration of insecurity or fear of not being loved you will attract circumstances which will only confirm your fears. 

Choose wisely with whom you spend your time with. Unless you are absolutely rooted within yourself, the type of people you interact with will influence your thought patterns and actions. 
Setting healthy boundaries or leaving dysfunctional relationships and situations is often a very wise act.  

If this is relevant to you please read my article about dealing with difficult people as an empath. 

Clear up your vibration, eliminate negative thoughts and embrace all of your emotions with meditation 

Meditation can help you to connect with your inner wisdom and accept whatever arises without resistance and judgment. A calm mind is a powerful mind.

A client once asked me: “How will meditation help me to deal with all my problems?”

My answer was that there would be fewer problems to solve because we create the majority of our problems ourselves through tension, worry, anxiety, insecurity, doubt, guilt, shame and negative mind loops. Our ego is wired to create obstacles so that we can overcome them and buy into a belief that we have accomplished something great! The irony is however that we have created many of our problems ourselves in the first place through negative thinking patterns. Many perceived obstacles will disappear if we relax into our being.

As soon as a negative thought comes up next time try to let it go immediately.  Drop it like a hot coal and focus on something else. Sometimes, the easiest way to understand a complicated situation is to simply let it go. 

And if you are feeling challenged or overwhelmed by your emotions next time keep in mind that you are given an opportunity to heal and embrace something within you. Lean into your vulnerability and allow your emotions to become your teachers and choose gentle self-compassion and acceptance over harsh judgment. We have the tendency to be our harshest critics. 

Embrace the full spectrum of your experience with unconditional love, warmth, and openness. Instead of suppressing unpleasant emotions, simply focus on your breath, be present and learn to relax without running away from the discomfort or pushing the emotions down. Experience them fully and then allow yourself to release all the stories of unworthiness, self-doubt or fear which are attached to these emotions. Treat your experience with the same friendliness and compassion you would treat your best friend or your child and acknowledge that everything you experience helps you to awaken to your true nature. 

You integrate or dissolve emotions by feeling them fully. If you don’t resist what arises, you can shift any lower energy like fear, guilt, shame, resentment, disappointment or apathy into a higher form. 

However, you don’t have to go through it alone. We all experience periods where we can benefit from some external guidance or simply someone who holds space so that healing can take place. Working with a holistic coach or counsellor on a one on one basis can be very powerful and transformational.

Movie recommendation
Inner worlds, outer worlds is an excellent movie which explains very well that we don’t experience the environment itself but rather the projection, created by our thoughts. 
The thoughts and feelings let us then experience our world in a certain way. If we have fear-based thoughts and feelings, for example, we will attract circumstances which will reflect this. 

Inner Worlds was created by Canadian film producer, musician, and meditation teacher Daniel Schmidt. The film could be described as the external reflection of his own adventures in meditation. It also explains how sound vibration works. Those who are familiar with my work know that Soul Plan reading which is an ancient system of life purpose, guidance, and healing is based on the sound vibration of your birth name. 

In case you are new to my work. I am Erika – (Shri Lakshmi – spiritual name – Prosperiy and Bliss).

I am a life-purpose coach and holistic counsellor. It’s not a requirement but people usually come to me in transition. My approach is both practical and mystical/spiritual. My mission is to invite you into higher states of being by cultivating inner awareness, empowerment and love.
I have been unconventionally living life on my own terms while serving the most gorgeous clients all around for around the world for around a decade now. My heart is full and the work I do is highly fulfilling and rewarding.

I can deliberately enter an expanded state of consciousness and have mastered the ability to tap into the SOURCE of LOVE, WISDOM, ABUNDANCE and POWER and I am strongly dedicated to further learning and expansion.

The boldness, determination and courage to walk the path less travelled has opened many doors that exceeded my wildest dreams and I am very grateful for the opportunity to pass this knowledge and experience on and to be of service to the greater WHOLE.

What is stored in our causal auric layer determines our day-to-day experiences. Mindset work might be a great start but is often not enough to change deeply ingrained karmic and ancestral patterns. No matter how motivated and determined we are to shift things. There is more than meets the eye and even more than meets the mind.

My superpower lies in shattering outdated paradigms and tuning in to the unique karmic frequency of my clients to activate their higher calling, including the highest confidence, self-love and empowerment vibration so that they can move forward quickly, uplevel their personal and professional life without unnecessary detours, holding back and feeling stuck. My life is a demonstration of the expression “be in this world but not of it”. I implement spirituality into everyday life in a practical way and help my clients to collapse time so that their life can start to blossom and bloom in a way they might not have imagined.

Emotional Balance through Forgiveness and Selfless Service

I attended Amma’s event in London last week and it was the third time that I have seen her.  Meeting Amma and spending time with her is not an experience one can describe in words. It would be similar to trying to explain how honey tastes like to someone who never tried honey.   

amma-2

Amma is the embodiment of pure love. 
 Known affectionately as “Amma” (meaning “Mother”), Mata Amritanandamayi’s entire life has been dedicated to serving others, to alleviate the pain of the poor, and those suffering physically and emotionally.

Throughout her life, Mata Amritanandamayi has embraced and comforted more than 34 million people. Amma inspires, uplifts, and transforms through her embrace, her spiritual wisdom and through her global charities, known as Embracing the World. When asked where she gets the energy to help so many people, she answers: “Where there is true love, anything is effortless.”

While Amma is widely regarded as one of India’s foremost spiritual leaders, Amma says that her religion is love. She has never asked anyone to change their religion but only to contemplate the essential principles of their own faith and to try to live accordingly.
 

I came across selfless service (Seva in Sanskrit) in 2014 when I stayed for five days in a monastic community where Karma Yoga was a crucial part of their daily life.

Getting up at 4:45 am, attending six services a day and performing selfless service outdoors while the temperature was below zero degrees is for sure not everyone’s cup of tea. I caught a cold shortly after arriving there and found it therefore fairly challenging, too.

Nevertheless, it was a life-changing, humbling, heart opening and also otherworldly experience and it is not easy to describe the subtlety and depth of what’s really happened there. The energy of this place was incredibly powerful and this visit had a catalytic effect on my life. It took a few months until I assimilated the whole experience.

It was such an amazing blessing and privilege to have spent a few days there and I understood later that even the challenging parts were part of the perfection.
 
I observed the monks and nuns and also the visitors who stayed temporarily with the community. It was very humbling to observe how they performed their work. Some performed their chores in a very self-sacrificing way while ignoring their personal needs completely. Others were frustrated because they felt physically unwell or were tired and didn’t want to work outdoors in this cold weather, some understood the deeper meaning behind it, and some have been so deeply and joyfully immersed into the tasks they have been given that I could say without a shadow of a doubt that they would not have exchanged these chores for some luxurious holidays in a tropical location where they could lie on the beach all day long.

The joy and satisfaction they experienced stem from a very deep and profound connection to source.
Doing this work helped them to empty themselves out of all negative thought patterns. Their aura was clear and pure, their eyes were shining, their heart was open and full of goodness and purity.
 

They describe Karma Yoga as follow:
 

“Karma Yoga means selfless service, but it goes beyond the common understanding of ‘volunteering’ or charity work’ – for it is performed as a heartfelt offering to the Divine. It is the process of harmonizing our conscience, our desires, our thoughts, our words, and finally our actions in a focused and powerful expression of selfless love.

Karma yoga is an extremely effective way to overcome negative and destructive thinking patterns.
The practice of karma yoga forms the essential basis of a strong, happy and harmonious life.”

There are many different interpretations when it comes to karma. 
 

Karma is often known as the universal law of cause and effect. Karma in itself is simply representative to the idea of balancing energy, self-awareness, and responsibility and it is not something to be afraid of. 
 

It is not a punishment or judgment like various traditions suggest, it is simply an indication which choices you have made or continue to make. And during the process of making choices, you are given a chance to explore the momentum this choice has set into motion and the arising polarities, in other words, it is a law of wholeness or full understanding. If you do something and you understand only partly the effects of a certain behavior or choice, your higher self will create various scenarios which help you to understand an event from all points of view.
 

You can stop the wheel of karma by realizing first of all that you have the choice to stop the momentum.

Yes, it is as simple as that! You can choose every moment to feel free and to make conscious choices. 

Compassion, a complete understanding of the entire scenario and forgiveness of self and forgiveness of others frees you from Karma, which means that you don’t necessarily have to experience physically the other side of the emotional experience to complete the cycle of karma.
The biggest challenge, however, is that the majority of the population is fast asleep and as a result, many people are not consciously aware of the fact that they are setting a certain energy in motion by acting and reacting in a certain way. 

We are powerful creators and co-creators. Each time we make a choice to free ourselves from self-imposed limitations, we set a different energy in motion which will be reflected back to us. 

At the same time, it is helpful to know that the limitations which we experience do help us to balance out our karma more quickly if we recognize the lesson behind it and extract all the learning. This requires an expanded awareness and release of all judgments so that we can see each situation from multiple viewpoints without personal biases. Therefore it is crucial to let go of any resistance and to accept the lessons which present themselves to us because if we don’t do that we will need to repeat the same lessons again and again. As the saying goes, “what you resist, persists”. 
 

Another positive side effect of complete understanding is, that we become less reactive. The more biased and limited our viewpoint is, the more reactive we usually are. The reason for that is that we usually don’t see the whole picture but only a fraction of it which is filtered through limited beliefs and judgments.
 

“To be able to put oneself in another’s position, to be able to see and to feel as another person does, this is the rare gift of an earnest spiritual seeker.”
― Amma
 

It’s easy to be compassionate and understanding when we are surrounded with like minded and supportive people or when we are in a peaceful and harmonious environment. However, we all know situations, when it becomes a bit more challenging to remain kind, loving or discerning, and therefore it is important to be compassionate towards ourselves instead of judging ourselves harshly when we react and overreact.

We all need to digest and assimilate many different vibrations and this can be challenging at times. 
We can digest the vibrations easier when we live in the present moment and recognize divinity in each and every moment instead of worrying about the future or dwelling in the past. When you live in the NOW your mind is relaxed and peaceful and your entire nervous system calms down. Another positive side effect is that your body regenerates and heals much faster. It is only when you are in a good place yourself that you can be truly of service to others.

Our current circumstances are the result of our past and present deeds. In other words, destiny is the result of causes. 
Everything that is happening to us today is caused by our earlier or current actions, thoughts and emotions (both conscious and unconscious), and everything that the future holds will be the result of our current state of being, and the way of acting and thinking. 
We shape our future in the moment, in the eternal NOW. Therefore awareness is a prerequisite for any kind of healing or a better “tomorrow”.
We can access the subconscious programming through Self-Inquiry, Meditation or by working with a spiritually aware Therapist, Counsellor, Mentor or Life Coach. The blind spots of our personality are often covered up with a layer of self-satisfaction and complacency. 
The mind loves to play tricks and that’s why all of us can benefit from “external” guidance! A person with a clear and unbiased perception/vision, e.g spiritual teacher, friend, counsellor or coach will often understand you better than you understand your own self! As a result, you will be able to release any unhelpful behavior patterns and stuck energy with compassion, love, understanding, and forgiveness. 

To support your on this journey I have recorded a beautiful emotional clearing meditation which will help you to clear your energy and to release stuck emotions which drive your day to day behavior.

If you would like to go deeper I have also put together a powerful “Raise Your Frequency & Master Your Energy and Emotions” Bundle which contains 6 different guided meditations, handouts, and an e-book. 

With time we can to learn to remain unattached and minimize those emotional reactions and at the same time not to repress and suppress any arising feelings but to let them flow freely or to sit quietly with them. As a result, any unpleasant vibrations/emotions can be dissolved and let go off.  You process your feelings by feeling them and you can then move forward with greater self-awareness and wisdom. 

One of the most effective ways I have come across so far for releasing any uncomfortable emotions is to offer them to a Higher Power, Higher Self,  God,  Universe, Divine or whatever you might call it. To ask humbly for help, because it’s not always easy to understand from our limited human perspective why things happen as they do. (Please feel free to share other methods which have worked well for you). 
 

I often use the following ancient Hawaiian forgiveness prayer when I work on a one on one basis with clients.  

You can use it as your daily mantra!
Repeat it as you go about your day and observe how it will open your heart over time.

  1476534357847

According to the teachings of Ho’oponopono, you are responsible for everything you experience. Everything that you see, notice, think and feel is your own creation.
 

If we observe any arising unpleasant emotions or thoughts in a nonjudgmental way, we will understand that those emotions or thoughts are arising within our own being.

We have created them through misaligned perception and no one outside of us has caused suffering to us. All emotions that we are experiencing are happening in our own mind, within our own heart
By taking responsibility and owning the emotion we can create a space where those vibrations can reveal themselves for what they really are, and as a result, healing can take place. Our reactions to any occurring events are based on the memory from our past.

Challenging circumstances arise that expose us to our shadow side. 

The shadow concept describes all the undesirable aspects of our psyches that we have unconsciously rejected, disowned, repressed or denied. The shadow is our dark side, comprised of everything within us that we don’t want to face.
 

Ho’oponopono’s mantra infuses light into the darkness. It helps us to release old karmic patterns and frees us from our projections and interpretations and the burden of needing to repeat the same lessons over and over again.
 

Don’t be discouraged by your incapacity to dispel darkness from the world. Light your candle and step forward.
– Amma

Love, Erika ❤️ 
Soul Transformation Therapist, Holistic Life Coach, and Counsellor

My name is Erika Brose

I offer a beautiful blend of Holistic Healing, Intuitive Counselling, and Coaching and I help people to cultivate self-love, heal emotional and psychological suffering, develop healthy self-care habits and reach their goals.
The types of issues I work with can vary from clearing emotional pain, clearing creative blocks, integrating conflicting sub-selves, archetype work, breaking unwanted patterns, clearing oversensitivity issues, clearing limiting beliefs, spiritual and emotional healing and most of all helping people find their soul’s purpose and clearing any blocks that prevent them from connecting fully with their soul purpose.

It is my intention to inspire, empower you and help you to find more clarity in life and reconnect with your true self. I help people to become more aware of their gifts and also their beliefs and values they are operating under. As you start to remember who you truly are, you naturally start to re-align with your true self and your life purpose. Your life can then start to flow in a far more creative and joyful way with new meaning and direction.

Through the unique combination of Holistic Healing, professional Holistic Counselling skills, and intuitive gifts, I provide compassionate and deeply accepting space to support you on your journey.

Together, we generate insight and transformation. My work is a co-creative, collaborative partnership with you to create the deepest insight, empowerment, clarity, wellbeing, healing and possibility, and enable you to share this with others. 

I have trained in a number of different healing techniques including energy psychology, relationship healing and a diverse array of therapeutic interventions but I don’t follow any particular tradition or concept as I work intuitively from the heart.

Healing, Coaching and Counselling over the Internet!

Online Counselling and Coaching via Skype is very effective and powerful.  

All sessions can be conducted from the comfort of your home anywhere in the world. A primary requirement is a quiet place and a headset.  You do not need to travel and therefore Skype sessions help you to save time and offer a level of flexibility. Having a session at home allows you to create a sacred space and to rest and integrate the session directly afterward. 

I have noticed again, and again that Sessions via Skype are as powerful as in-person sessions and can facilitate healing, insight, transformation, and eliminate pain and suffering and offer the opportunity to reflect on all aspects of your life. The counselling, coaching, and healing sessions work on a multitude of different levels and help you to let go of everything that no longer serves you so that you have a renewed sense of purpose in your life.

You can have a video chat, or a voice call, like a phone call! Payment for Skype sessions is in GBP, via PayPal. You don’t need a PayPal account, just a viable credit card, and they make the currency conversions.

I have worked with people from Mexico, USA, UK, Germany, Spain, India, Russia, and Switzerland.  

Please note all times are GMT according to UK schedule.

We will need to work together to discover your timezone and make an appointment that works for both of us. Contact me by email on erika.inspiration@gmail.com so we can figure out a good time to work!

Healing and Transformation Journey – Why things get worse before they get better

  • May we heal and evolve quickly instead of hurting each other

  • May we let go of prejudices and judgments and become empty, transparent and balanced

  • May we free ourselves from the attachments of the unconscious collective pain body

  • May we let go of our self-righteousness and arrogance

  • May we see beyond appearances

  • May the veil of illusion of separation and victimisation be lifted

  • May we radiate clarity in the midst of turmoil and chaos

  • May we be of service to others

A Consciousness shift is happening in the world. The universe moves towards a brighter future for all, but at the same time, people are concerned about the shifts and the intensity of the changes. Many of us would like to understand better what is really happening on the planet.

What is going on in the collective unconscious is being brought up to the surface. The world as we see it is an expression of the collective beliefs. If we want to evolve and live in a better world we have to change the belief system first. 

Humanity has been operating from a self-centered, victim and scarcity – consciousness for millenniums and before a shift to unity consciousness can occur, old structures which have been built on fear, control, and power have to be brought into our awareness. 

Awareness of something is the prerequisite for healing.

Sending healing to everyone who would like to receive it! 

We all have heard the saying that all change is happening on the inside. Therefore the best way to support the planet is to stay calm and centred within our own being during challenging times. If you know who you are, a centre of love, wisdom and pure awareness all problems subside and the mind merges into silence. When you practice detachment and discrimination you won’t be ruled by your senses and by your mind and your pure being emerges as the natural state.

In remembering who you truly are the light of unconditional awareness will emerge. 

If something happens that we consider as being an extremely challenging situation or a tragic event we have the choice to freeze in fear or to break open and to create space for compassion and love. 

Our True Self is not the limited mortal body, mind, and intellect, but the eternal, blissful consciousness that pervades creation. When one truly recognises one’s own Self in all beings, one becomes an embodiment of peace, love, and compassion capable of uplifting the world.

In the rest of the article, I will focus on individual healing journeys and how you can deal with the arising challenges. 

Some of you who are new to this transformation journey may have experienced a lot of confusion and inner turmoil. Some of my clients are going through periods where they feel aligned and empowered and then through periods of doubt and fear or they manifest physical symptoms such as constant migraines, body aches, and extreme fatigue.

What happens at the beginning of a healing journey?

Did you ever hear someone saying that things often get worse before they get better, or you might have also heard the term “healing crisis” or “integration period? “

A healing crisis is often part of the healing process. If we want to be true to ourselves, we have to release our old wounds and conditioning. Some people call this healing, others integration.

I believe that any form of healing is about remembering who we truly are. It is about reconnecting with our Soul, our Higher Self, and our Intuition. It is about letting go of conditioning and giving ourselves permission to be who we truly are instead of being who we think we should be. 

The higher Self is an infinite aspect of our consciousness that goes beyond the ordinary ego consciousness and it has a greater overview of all possibilities

Even though I do often use the term healing as many people can relate to it, the term wholeness would be a more accurate expression. The need to “heal” is a duality based concept and assumes that something is wrong, but believing that something is right-wrong or good-bad is duality conditioning.

We all have been conditioned to judge and to believe in lack but if we let duality aside, any arising challenges are understood as part of perfection, a part of the whole. The sole purpose to work through them is to develop compassion and be of service to others. We should be careful that our life does not become a never-ending self-improvement project. 

The good news is that higher frequencies transcend duality. When we raise our vibration, many redundant issues will fall away and we will able to see the perfection in something that has previously appeared to be wrong or ugly. 

When you get more established in the heart whatever happens in your life is a blessing. ~Mooji

To raise our vibration, we can use various permission slips or creative healing interventions. Let your intuition be your guide when choosing which one works best for you.

Here is my personal list:

  • Helping someone in need

  • Reaching out to friend

  • Spending time with pets or children

  • Breaking routine/ doing something creative

  • Relaxation / Meditation

  • Reading a high vibe book

  • Appreciating something beautiful

  • Using high-quality essential oils (rose oil is measured at 320 MHz, Lavender at 118 MHz)

  • Spending time in nature

  • Dancing and listening to high-frequency music

  • Kundalini Yoga/Qigong

I have observed many times after a Soul Plan Reading session for example that some of the stuck patterns simply disappeared. The more we connect with who we truly are the more balanced we become and this can also have a positive knock-on effect on our physical and emotional health.

Feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted for example is often an indicator that we think too much and that our thoughts argue with what is. When we rest in our true nature we feel energised and lighthearted.

Another common trap of wasting precious life-force energy is to mentally living in other people’s business and assuming to know what’s best for them. This usually leads to contraction and tension, and we waste precious life force energy while wondering why we are feeling exhausted at the end of the day. 

As you begin your healing journey, all the dormant, low and stuck energy starts moving. Everything that needs to be healed moves out through you. 

Imagine a pond, which catches stones, sticks, leaves and waste. On the surface, the water may still look clear, but if someone stirs the water, all the mud rises to the surface.

Therefore, it is quite often that individuals who start doing some healing work experience a “healing crisis”, because all those suppressed and repressed emotions come to the surface so that they can be felt, integrated and released. Everything unnecessary has to go. 

You can also compare it with a detox period. If you’ve ever done any kind of fasting or gave up caffeine, you may be very familiar with the various kinds of unpleasant symptoms such as a headache, body aches, joint and muscle pain, sinus congestion, or nausea and noticed that it took some time until your body has released toxins from the system. If you persevered and didn’t give up you started to feel the benefits, e.g. feeling much lighter, healthier and energised. 

Energetic and Spiritual healing is a similar process. The goal of energetic healing is to shine the light of awareness on any stagnant or low energy and replace it with healed, cleansed, and purified energy. There is usually a time lag until this shift happens. 

The majority of the population is unaware that we are more than just our physical bodies. There are also several subtle bodies, or layers, around the physical body. These energetic layers or subtle bodies create an interconnected field of energy around the physical body that is commonly known as the auric field. Even though these layers cannot be seen with the physical eyes, they can be seen psychically through the third eye or with the help of Kirlian photography. 

The physical body consists of energy that vibrates very slowly. That’s why it appears to our physical eyes to be solid. We believe that everything that we can touch is definitely real and everything that is ethereal in nature is not real. But it is actually completely the other way around. The more subtle something is, the more real it is. 

When we start doing healing work, any suppressed, dormant emotions and energies from past trauma or denial get stirred up. We might even attract many emotionally challenging situations which will show us what requires attention and what we need to let go. If we want to heal we need to address the cause and not the symptom. 

If someone triggers us for example, we have the tendency to blame the other person, instead of looking at the situation in such a way that the other person might even do us a favour. The situation or the individual is usually just a trigger or catalyst. The pain was already in us. Otherwise, we would not get triggered, and the other individual is often simply pointing out what requires attention. He or she offers us the opportunity to look inside and get in touch with any suppressed and repressed emotions or to make some changes in the way we respond to certain situations.

During this process, you might also need to set healthy boundaries or leave dysfunctional relationships behind. If someone has a very hostile attitude for example and attacks you in spite of your forgiveness and compassion it is better to remove yourself from this person or situation. 

It can take time until you start feeling those repressed emotions again, and it is important to be gentle with yourself during healing. What often happens is that we start to feel frustrated, impatient, disappointed and upset or even question if we are on the right path if we don’t get immediate results.

It will be easier to persevere if you remember that this is part of the healing and the stuck energies are coming to the surface so that they can be released. It is an indicator that healing is working very well. If you don’t give up, you will reap the benefits and feel much lighter, awake, energised and happier afterwards. 

“Having compassion starts and ends with having compassion for all those unwanted parts of ourselves. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.” ~Pema Chodron

From a higher perspective, we often choose to go through certain challenges but I know from experience that everything goes much more smoothly if I reach out for help during any intense growth, healing and transformation periods. Finding support and connecting with like-minded people during this time is crucial. I recommend spending as much time as possible in nature to cleanse any lower energies. Drinking sufficient water after healing will help to flush out toxins from the body. You might also need to rest and relax more than usual. 

I am happy to give you a hand during this process. The following pre-recorded healing session is designed to “connect you with your inner healer”. In this healing session (36 min.), I will take you on a beautiful journey where you can connect with your breath, the present moment and meet your inner healer.

And the following program will help you to

  • ease any emotional tension
  • clear energy blocks and suppressed emotions
  • Listen to your emotional guidance system
  • Release trapped emotions
  • Feel empowered and respond to your emotions with peace, balance and acceptance
  • Transform emotions such as anger and jealousy into self-esteem and inner strength and compassion

Say NO with a smile

In the following video, I explain how essential oils can strengthen your energy field and help you with boundary settings or speaking up when this is required.

Do you sometimes fall into the “being too kind” or “people-pleasing trap?” Standing your ground and not falling into the people-pleasing trap is the key to any healthy relationship. 

In a sense, you are communicating your lack of value by overgiving. 

The common reason why people are afraid to set healthy boundaries is because they are afraid to disappoint someone or are afraid that someone could disapprove of them. 

Not setting healthy boundaries and staying true to oneself is a breeding ground for toxicity. 

In order to set healthy boundaries, we have to connect with our needs and feelings first and honour and respect them. 

We can only set healthy boundaries when we are centred in our power and are aware of our value. 

If you have a poor self-image it is very likely that you will struggle to communicate your needs clearly and to set healthy boundaries. 

Like any good architect, you can change the blueprint – even a negative, self-worth blueprint.

Just because you have lived until now with an illusionary imprint about your self-worth does not mean that it has to remain like this 

The instant download meditation and the accompanying 16 pages pdf self-help booklet and it will help you to: 

  • Understand the causes of poor self-esteem and re-programme dysfunctional patterns on a cellular level
  • Build self-worth and reconnect with your core strengths
  • Take back your power, and re-discover that you are the source of love
  • Bring out your highest potential
  • Feel at ease in social situations
  • Let go of the need to please others
  • Rediscover the radiant version of yourself
  • Improve your mood and self-talk
  • Learn how to deal with mistakes, setbacks and criticisms with more ease and grace

Get your copy NOW. 

We will always encounter demanding and dominant individuals in our personal and professional lives. Acquiring assertiveness skills will make your life much easier and eliminate stress.

Being assertive is a skill that most people are born with. A newborn relates to the world in a completely honest and open way. Infants have no inhibitions to express their feelings. However, when the individuals around them are not honest and loving in return, the first imprint in the energetic field is made. The baby adapts the belief that this world is not a safe place. To protect himself and to cope with being in the world, the child develops later protective skills. We could also say that we train ourselves to become non-assertive.

As a result, some adults may behave very inauthentic or adopt passive aggressive behaviour for example which is a defence mechanism to operate peacefully in the world. Therefore, many adults need to unlearn various unhelpful behaviours if they wish to improve assertiveness.

Assertion means that a person is connected to their true self and can express his rights, authentic feelings and needs without offending others or feel insecure.

Assertiveness is an ability, to be honest, and trust and to be free from fear.

From an energetic point of view, we are most balanced and assertive when our 3rd chakra is balanced. A healthy solar plexus chakra allows you to be empowered and respect your needs and live a life with confidence and strength. Someone with a balanced solar plexus chakra can set boundaries and be assertive without being aggressive.

Chakra is a Sanskrit word that translates into a turning wheel or disc. These energy centres are connected to main organs, endocrine glands, physiological functions, emotions and spiritual energy.

An unbalanced or blocked chakra can lead to physical, emotional or mental symptoms.

There are 7 main energy centres positioned throughout our body, from the base of your spine to the crown of our head. Each chakra has its own vibrational frequency, that is represented by a specific chakra colour.

Some common symptoms of a 3rd chakra blockage include:

Low self-esteem, feeling disempowered, inability to set or maintain boundaries codependency, lack of self-control, lack of confidence, Anxiety.

In the following article, I share some techniques which you can use to balance your third chakra.

And the following meditation will help you to balance your 7 main energy centres. 

Energy Center (Chakra) Balancing Meditation

Balancing love and wisdom

Balancing love and wisdom, especially for gentle souls who feel everything very deeply and are always eager to help and to give, is not always easy.
It requires awareness, patience, and experience to find the right balance between giving and receiving, taking action and surrendering. What helps is to be in touch with your emotional guidance system and also to be aware of your underlying feeling/vibration.

Do you feel victimised or empowered when you take action or surrender?

Do you give from a genuine place of inspiration or do you give because you try to compensate for a lack of self-worth or self-love?

It’s crucial to be aware while wanting to help that you don’t infringe on other people’s free will. You don’t know how their challenges might serve them. They might be a great catalyst for them which will help them to wake up and create better circumstances for themselves – so don’t think of yourself that you have to rescue everyone. 

You might have heard the expression co-dependency. This would be a whole new topic, and therefore, I will just mention it briefly.
Many of us are stuck in co-dependent patterns without realising it.
Co-dependency can be defined as any relationship in which two people become so invested in each other that they can’t function independently anymore. Of course, it requires discernment to know when it is appropriate to help or when it is more important to take a step back so that the other person can step into their power instead of being constantly dependent on other people’s help or advice. 

If you notice that you support other people’s neediness or devote all your energy to help the other person you might want to explore the topic of co-dependency a little bit more. I recommend the following book, Codependent No More, by Melody Beattie. 

Your soul rejoices each time you treat yourself with self-respect. One little step can bring an entirely different flow into your energy patterns.

The following self-hypnosis session contains a gentle hypnotic induction, positive suggestions and empowering beliefs which will help you to learn to set healthy boundaries and create a shift in your subconscious mind.

Bring Out Your Inner Confidence – Self Hypnosis

    If you have ever inhaled the fragrance of your favourite FLOWER and remember the sweetness of getting in touch with the essence of a plant then you will love and benefit greatly from essential oils.

    There are hundreds of ways how you can use high- quality essential oils including relaxation, emotional and energetic healing, meditation, spiritual practice, personal hygiene, household cleaning, cooking and more.

    Some of the oils will shower you with the elixir of self-love and self-appreciation, some will help you to clear long-standing emotional and energetic attachments, and others will transform you in a way you could not have imagined. The more you open up to the energy and benefits of very pure high-quality essential oils and let go of resistance the more you will benefit from them.

    The essential oils work on many different levels: Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual/Energetic. The measured frequencies of essential oils have been shown to go as high as 320 MHz as seen with Rose oil! Lavender has a frequency of 118 MHz and Sandalwood has a frequency of 96 MHz.  I have recorded several videos where I introduce the benefits and the uses of essential oils. You can access the complete playlist on Youtube here:

    Essential oils Inspiration and Education with Erika

    When purchasing essential oils, it is important to find oils that are pure. The purity of an essential oil determines how effective an essential oil can be. The less pure an essential oil is, the less effective it will be. Too often, essential oils that are on the market are not pure and contain contaminants and filler substances.

    doTERRA oils are different than any other oils. You will get oils which are distilled at the peak potency to ensure the highest effectiveness and quality and they are not treated with pesticides. So it is a massive difference to the oils which you would buy at a grocery store for example. Those who have long-term experience with essential oils will immediately notice the difference.

    In addition to supplying the highest quality, essential oils doTERRA is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of farmers, harvesters, and distillers who contribute to doTERRA’s oil production. doTERRA is family-focused and pro-women. Mamas, children and families are welcomed, appreciated, encouraged and supported through doTERRA.

    To learn about the quality and sourcing, Source to You helps you to learn how doTERRA works with smallholder farmers worldwide to optimize their work and grow the precious plants that grant us and our families this crucial connection to Mother Nature. And here is an incredible resource to see exactly where your oils have come from. It also shows a Gas Chromatography graph that breaks down all the natural chemical compounds that are in each bottle of doTERRA Essential Oils.

    At the base of your bottle of Single Oils, you will see a number. If you enter this into the system all the relevant information for that particular Essential Oils will come up. dōTERRA is completely transparent about all components of their Oils and that’s why it is safe to trust that you are working with the purest oils available.

    Most essential oils are made from fresh leaves, flowers, roots, or twigs, but there are a few special essential oils that are made from the resin of plants such as Frankincense. The oils capture the plant’s scent and flavour also called its “essence.” And they are obtained through distillation or cold-press extraction. 100% pure, natural, high-quality essential oils can help us to tune into higher frequencies, clear negative emotions on a cellular level but also release blockages which prevent us to align with the abundance of the universe. Essential oils have been used for spiritual ceremonies, rituals, balancing emotions and for healing the mind, body and spirit for over thousands of years. I do often feel a pulsating stream of healing energy owing through my body while I am getting ready for the distant healing sessions and I use various essential oils during any healing, coaching or counselling work.

    Here are the detailed steps how you can order the purest high-quality oils for 25% less than retail price. I will also send you a  booklet where I have summarized how the most popular oils can support you greatly in your everyday life. I have included in this booklet many tips and secrets which you are most likely not familiar yet.

The end of confusion – living a heart centered life

“Be grateful for the mind, who’s role is to molest the false version of yourself until it becomes unbearable and you are left with no choice but to give up and come home to the heart.” -Mooji

I used to be a very indecisive person and was stuck in my head most of the time when it came to making decisions. I was pondering about different options, outweighing all of them and the more I thought about each option, the less clarity I had. Little did I know back then how much one’s life quality can improve as a consequence of making heart-based choices. The irony is that making heart-based decisions does not only save time and energy, but it is also always in everyone’s best interest.

If you become quiet, relax for a few seconds, clear your mind and tune into your heart, you will connect to a wisdom that is beyond logical and analytical thinking. Resting in your heart relaxes your entire being, your energy expands, your magnetism increases and you become a beacon of light. When you are in your heart, you can hear your own inner voice. You will see much more clearly from this relaxed and empowered place and make natural decisions without outweighing compulsively thousand different options. 

Elevate the quality of your life by using your natural talents and your spiritual gifts – Life Purpose Activation

Your heart will always direct you into the right direction and show you the way.

You don’t need to know all the little steps in-between to reach your destination or goal. Ultimately, any big decision involves a leap of faith. Follow your heart’s and your gut’s guidance and impulses and rest assured that it will be your most reliable guide.

Many ancient traditions refer to the heart as the seat of the soul. 

Conventional science has taught us that the central role of the heart is to pump blood to all the systems of our body. However new research shows that our heart is the strongest generator of both electrical and magnetic fields.

Compared to the electromagnetic field produced by the brain, the electrical component of the heart’s field is about 60 times greater in amplitude and permeates every cell in the body. The magnetic component of the heart is approximately 5000 times stronger than the brain’s magnetic field.

When You Fear Making a “Wrong” Decision.

“Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth.” ~Pema Chodron

Sometimes we feel that we are not ready to step into our most powerful selves, so we keep playing small instead of expanding further and becoming the powerful version of ourselves we are meant to become.

The bigger our purpose, the louder the ego will scream that we are not ready yet. However, we evolve by releasing our fears! Tuning into our heart can help us to release fear and doubt, and we become more spontaneous when it comes to making decisions.

Instead of looking up to others or seeking advice constantly you can navigate your life from your heart… from your authentic self. Let your heart be your authority and live boldly from the authenticity of your true SELF. This can be scary at first, and we may encounter a lot of resistance or disapproval in the beginning. However, it will pay off in the long run.  We betray only ourselves and give our power away when we don’t follow our internal guidance because we are too concerned what other’s may think.

 
12088483
 
 
When we carry fear-based beliefs inside us, we will constantly be given opportunities to experience them until we decide to release them.
 
When we feel intense fear, for example, we often put a story above the original feeling, and we then start to judge ourselves for being anxious or fearful. However, the resistance to feeling the fear increases the intensity of it. The quickest way to deal with uncomfortable emotions, therefore, is to welcome them in their full range. If we suppress them, we only push them down into our subconscious mind.
 
Accepting any unpleasant emotions enables us to understand them, and to transcend them before they manifest in our physical reality. Sometimes our intuition guides us toward those experiences we fear the most so that we can become aware of our subconscious fears and limiting beliefs and replace them with new ones.

Being fearless does not mean that you never feel fear, but it’s about how you deal with it. 

The next time you feel fear, embrace it, examine it, and if it feels right in your heart and gut, move boldly toward it.  Avoidance has never been a great strategy for success and happiness. If you are fearful of making the first step when you start a new project for example bear in mind that it is natural to feel a little bit insecure and unsure. But in the end, taking a leap of faith and being courageous will help you greatly to move forward in life. 

Simply have your desired outcome in mind when you take courageous action and be aware that you deposit more experience and knowledge into your “intuition account” by moving forward. Developing your intuitive sense and trusting yourself is similar to learning any new skill – the more you practice, the better you become.

     “Whether success or failure, you need to move forward. The momentum is what is critical.”
-Frederique Dame

Being afraid to take action and giving your power away to fear will not only affect your self-esteem but also increase any doubts and insecurity. You deprive yourself of the fullness, richness, and joy of life when you postpone important decisions which require immediate action. The same applies when you stay in a situation that you have outgrown for to too long by clinging to a false sense of safety. Most fear is an illusion and only a very little percentage is a legitimate protection of danger.

If you take action despite the fear, you will break the anxiety cycle and eventually transcend fear. At the same time, you will acquire new skills, open new doors, and free yourself from self-imposed limitations.

“Make more decisions in every day. Because a decision is a summoning of life. That’s why a little chaos is good for you, because often you don’t make a decision until you get yourself in a jam. And then, in the middle of the jam, you make a decision, but that decision summons Life Force. Have you ever been a place where you couldn’t quite make up your mind and you just felt sort of limp? “Oh, I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.” And then you decided, and you felt alive again. We want you to know that you’ll never get it done. So don’t approach this from, “I gotta get on this” because you’re not ever going to get it done, anyway. And the other thing we want you to know is, you cannot get it wrong. So, make a decision. Let it flow.”

–Abraham

Being very concerned about making the wrong choice is usually an indicator that you are too attached to the outcome. The truth is – you can’t make a wrong choice if you choose from a place of calm, love and trust. There is something valuable to be learned on every path we follow. No matter if you define a decision as “good” or “bad,” it will always lead you to experiences and lessons you need at this particular moment in your life. In fact, when we go through challenging times, we often learn valuable life lessons which serve us well for the future. We all encounter obstacles in our lives or face challenges that throw us off balance, and we often understand the value of going through difficult times only in retrospect. Those dark times serve us as a wake-up call and are a catalyst for change, transformation, and creativity. 

Without those challenges, we might not have left our unfulfilling job, moved to another country, reached out for support, acquired new skills within a short period of time or have taken outrageous and courageous action that freed us from many self-imposed limitations. We would have kept valuing the opinion of others above our own inner knowing and would have kept playing small instead of following our heart’s guidance boldly. 

On a deeper level, fear of failure often represents fear of death (death of the ego and identity). We can be liberated from this fear when we dare to fail or to be rejected and realize that we are still loved and accepted by all of the creation.

Know that you are always infinitely guided and supported

The way you feel when you make a decision and how aligned you are with your choices determines the vibration you are emanating and the outcome of your decision. Making fear-based decisions shows a lack of faith that the universe is benign and will always support you and can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Fearless attitude pays off. The more aligned, clear, courageous, faithful and grounded you are in your true SELF while making decisions, the better your future experiences will be. Clarity is the natural result when you commit yourself to one specific direction without rigidity. Be certain about your destination, goal or desired outcome like a captain of a ship that sets off on a journey but at the same time remain flexible and keep an eye on the weather conditions and adjust your actions accordingly. 

Something magical seems to happen if we make a full-hearted, bold and fully aligned decision. When we fully embody the intention of our decision, we become radiant, powerful and magnetic. By embodying the essence of the desired outcome or goal instead of trying to make things work by using our will power or mental energy, we remain open and unattached and allow higher guidance to come through.

The energy of our actions will be completely different when we acknowledge that everything is within us. Any attempt to chase something indicates that we operate from a place of lack and mistrust and that we have forgotten who we truly are.

We often believe that inner discontent can be cured by something external: a high paying job, luxury vacation, a partner who is more loving or understanding and don’t realize that external circumstances are only smoke and mirrors and they can’t replace our own inner source. It is a state of being that reflects all manifestations.  No amount of external achievement or success will compensate for a lack of self-love, self-respect, self-acceptance, confidence and a lack of self-esteem. 

Chasing dreams from a place of lack or a feeling of unworthiness or making decisions without self-love and self-respect is like building your house on the sand. It’s a waste of your energy, time and resources and won’t bring long-lasting happiness.

What you see in the external world are reflections of your internal state. If you want to align with something you have to become it first. If you embody your desire in your heart, you will automatically become very humble and open, and you won’t try to force a given situation to turn out a certain way because you know that everything that is truly yours will come to you. 

Listen to your body!

Your body is a very powerful, accurate, intuitive guide. Most people in Western society are living in their head. They are not aware that there is a connection between our brain and our gut. Our brain and our gut are connected, and it is estimated that there are between 400 and 600 million neurons in our gut. If you pay attention, your gut and your heart can give you very clear signals at any given moment.

Before making a decision, relax for a few seconds, let go of all thoughts and tune into your body! You can prevent difficulties before they arise by listening to your body’s signals. Your body has signals like goose bumps, butterflies in your stomach or chills for inspiration or a churning stomach when something is off.

If you feel that your whole being is expanding, that means a YES.

If you feel contracted or tension in your gut it means NO.

Be gentle with yourself if you still find yourself in a situation where you are stuck or confused. 

Sometimes the possible consequences of a huge decision are so complicated and significant that our emotions get stirred up, and our vision gets clouded. As a consequence, we can’t hear the voice of our heart clearly. I professional life coach, mentor or counsellor can can serve as a mirror and reflect back to you aspects of yourself which you can’t see yourself. It can be such a gift to unstuck yourself and reach out for help and support instead of taking the road of more resistance.

One of my most booked 1:1 packages is the VIP Claity Package. It is especially perfect for those who are in transition but this is not a requirement. My clients ultimately don’t need me but will often get where they want much faster as it is almost impossible not almost impossible not to receive tremendous value from the 1:1 sessions if you show up fully with an open heart and mind. 

In the video below, I share with you a simple technique that works well if you have two or three options, and all of them seem to be equal. 

Set the intention before using this technique that each decision you will make will be a good one, not only for yourself but also for everyone else involved! No matter which permission slip you use, find a sense of natural calm, ease, and joy before leaping into action or making a decision. 

Love, Erika

A great essential oil that can support you with the decision-making process is Rosemary. 

 

Healing, Coaching and Counselling over the Internet!

I offer a beautiful blend of Holistic Healing, Intuitive Counselling, and Empowerment Coaching and help conscious women & men to cultivate self-love, heal emotional and psychological suffering, develop healthy self-care habits, step into their power, reach their goals and most of all connect with their life purpose.
The types of issues I work with can vary from clearing emotional pain, clearing creative blocks, integrating conflicting sub-selves, archetype work, breaking unwanted patterns, clearing oversensitivity issues, clearing limiting beliefs, spiritual and emotional healing and most of all helping people find their soul’s purpose and clearing any blocks that prevent them from connecting fully with their soul purpose.

It is my intention to inspire, empower you and help you to find more clarity in life and reconnect with your true self. I help people to become more aware of their gifts and also their beliefs and values they are operating under. As you start to remember who you truly are, you naturally start to re-align with your true self and your life purpose. Your life can then start to flow in a far more creative and joyful way with new meaning and direction.

Through the unique combination of Holistic Healing, professional Holistic Counselling skills, and intuitive gifts, I provide compassionate and deeply accepting space to support you on your journey.

Together, we generate insight and transformation. My work is a co-creative, collaborative partnership with you to create the deepest insight, empowerment, clarity, wellbeing, healing and possibility, and enable you to share this with others. 

I have trained in a number of different healing techniques including energy psychology, relationship healing and a diverse array of therapeutic interventions but I don’t follow any particular tradition or concept as I work intuitively from the heart.

What is a spiritual counsellor/holistic healing practitioner? A spiritual counsellor or holistic healing practitioner has trained in a number of healing techniques. Their training at Holistic Healing College has included, counselling, energy psychology, relationship healing, hypnotherapy, spiritual life coaching, soul plan and a diverse array of therapeutic interventions.

These integrated sessions address the client on all levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Energetic healing creates space while a practical approach grounds the benefits in the here and now.
