​Don’t you just love all those belief systems that we so easily buy into from others around us.  Particularly those people we see as authority figures.

I had been having a lot of issues with my knees and then after a particularly big fall at Taekwondo they became much worse.  I had managed to tear the meniscus in one knee and had badly bruised the inside of both kneecaps and could barely walk.  There had already been some issues but I knew this was a big message for me personally.  Taking some time out due to the injury gave me time to reflect and I managed, with the support of my closest woo-woo friends, to get to the bottom of why I did not want to be able to move physically and emotionally at that time… so healing began.

Prior to this I had headed off to see the doctor regarding the pain I was experiencing in my right knee.  Guess what I got told….. Yes, it’s arthritis – at your age you have to expect these things!  Excuse me!!  I have pain in one knee and not the other and oddly enough they are exactly the same age.

Fast forward back to the injury.  I had MRI’s on both knees and ended up having arthroscopy surgery on both knees.  The specialist was very pleased to tell me from seeing the MRI images and indeed seeing directly inside my knees with a camera that there was not really any arthritis in there (which, he said, was great given my age lol).

How easy would it have been for me to buy into the doctor’s diagnosis and in turn probably make my knees worse with negative thought patterns!

I am so glad I can see things from different perspectives.  It never hurts to look at things from a different angle and get second, third or more opinion and I would always recommend checking in with your GP if you feel you should, but at the end of the day always fully trust yourself and your gut instinct.

​​Do you get Angel Bumps AKA Truth Tingles?

Have you ever got Goosebumps suddenly when thinking about something even though you may not be cold?  In the spiritual world we often call these Angel Bumps or Truth Tingles… you know those ones that hit from the top of your head and radiate all the way down to the tips of your toes.

For me these bumps are a clear sign that things are working out as they should be and are an indication to keep going along the path – a big fat YES!
 
These kind of bumps, I believe, come directly from your Spirit Team and should be taken notice of.  They could be Aunt Maud trying to catch your attention or one of your other guides letting you know they are around.  Work on building the rapport with your Team by asking for clarification via the Angel Bumps on any number of things.  The more you communicate, the clearer the answers will be.  You may feel silly to start off with but ask questions, in your head or out loud (if appropriate lols), particularly closed ended questions ie, those with yes/no answers.  Then ask that the Tingles will mean a yes and voila – you have your own quick and easy communication system.
 
One of the most awesome things with this sort of communication is that it is with you wherever you go.  You don’t need tools or tricks – just an open mind.

​In my humble opinion and from 12 years’ experience of working in this field I, undoubtedly, 100 percent, believe it works – otherwise why would I still be here?
 I know that the lives of many have been changed by the work that I do. I don’t often put myself out there in this way and some may find it rather egotistical or confronting – but I am who I am – no apologies.  It has taken many years of self-work to get to this point in my life, but here I am warts 'n' all.
 
All of creation is made up of vibration – ie energy waves.  The work that I do taps in to the waves of your life and can find out where and why the waves are too calm, to turbulent or in some cases non-existent. 
 
I find a lot of the people who are drawn to work with me start off with some sort of physical pain or are at a point in their life where they have simply had enough, which acts as a catalyst for wanting change.  Once we connect I drill down using the tools I have learnt along the way, to build a picture (formula) of the underlying reasons for the pain.  So often the pain is founded in emotionally charged memories from this and past life experiences and trauma of some kind.  Recognising the base line for what it is makes it easier for those things to be accepted as part of the life journey, and the hold they have can be allowed to drift away.  This does not diminish what has happened in life or make it have never happened – it just means it no longer has an energetic hold over you that is creating blocks in your life.
 
I need to add – that I do not make ‘healing’ happen, I am just a conduit/observer and if anyone says they do my suggestion is to keep well away as that is from a place of ego. 
 
I hope that this, in some way helps you lighten the load you are carrying,

​As someone who communicates with animals the one thing people always say to me is “I wish I could talk to my pet!”  Well the good news is that you CAN.  You may not develop the skills to hear what they have to say, unless you really want to, but that should never stop you from talking to them because they will be listening.

Animals of course do not talk in the same language as us, dogs in particular are all about smell and body language.  Being able to read body language means that they understand things very well in pictures.  So if you need to let them know something, such as you moving home or going on holiday you can send them images energetically over the airwaves whilst they are in close proximity to you.  Connect on a heart to heart level and send loving thoughts with the pictures let them know they are always loved and that you will be in the new place alongside them.  Imagine what their bed will look like in its’s new spot and the animals will pick that up from you via the airwaves.

The one things animals don’t get in the same way as us humans is time.  We wear watches and have all sorts of devices that keep us on time or remind us that we don’t have enough time (that is another blog right there lols).  So if you need to communicate time to your pet use nature… Sunrise, sun highest (midday) sunset for during a day.  Longer periods can be how many dark times (nights – no point saying x number of sleeps to a dog or cat!), how many moon cycles for months and of course seasons for longer periods.   See it is quite easy and logical once you start to think a little outside of the human box.

Use direct communications too, ask a question such as “do you like the food I am giving you?”  You may surprise yourself and hear the answer clearly in your mind but look for those body signs – did the dogs ears or head drop or did it perk up and look alert, did the cat get up from in front of the warm fire and walk away, or turn and gaze at you?  These are all good indicators of how the animal is feeling. 

As always don’t over complicate it and TRUST the messages you receive, I know your animals will love to get on board and play with you.

I love all the things I have collected and added into my own life and my journey into healing, reading and all things spiritual.  Here in no particular order are some of my favourites.
 
Cards
I LOVE cards of every shape, size and type… did you know that ;).  The first Tarot deck that I bought is still my favourite but others get outings as and when I am drawn to them.  Some cards even get a look in during my healings, such as colour and crystal cards, or even if we need some extra energy or a message from the Spirit Realm.  Cards are for so much more than basic readings as each card holds an energetic resonance, as every single thing  does.
 
Sage
My go-to cleanser for my healing room, my home, myself.  Taking time to light the leaves and walk around with the intention of releasing all negativity is so cathartic.
 
Feathers
I have a couple of smudging wands, one which I made myself.  As well as using these with my sage, I will also use with clients to shift energy from their Aura.  Feathers represent the element of air (to me) and so I will have some around to balance the 5 elements of my home.  These have mostly been gifted to me by the birds that share my peaceful chunk of Australian soil.
 
Medicine Drum
My hand made (again by me) medicine drum hangs in pride of place in my healing room flanked by angels.  She has an amazing resonance and the vibrations travel though you like nothing else on this earth.  Great for shifting and moving energy around whether for a person or space.
 
Gassong drum
Have you heard of these?  Made from a recycled gas bottle, mine is tuned to the heart charkra and sits under my healing bed to be called on as and when necessary.  Because the heart chakra is the central chakra as this balances waves ripple out to the others, thereby bringing all into balance.  The other amazing thing is that due to the notes in makes, you can play it in any way/order and it never sounds ‘off’, how cool is that!
 
Rattle
Another sound tool.  Mine is based on an aboriginal rattle and again is used for cleansing and shifting energy.
 
Energy sprays
These come in all sorts of types, cleansing of the aura, adding any of the 5 elements, balancing the chakras, crystal based, to name but a few.  They can be sprayed over and around myself as well as my clients.  One of my personal favourites is Crystal Clear which was created by my good friend Karmina of Elemental Mists.
 
Crystals
Oh how I love crystals, you will find them everywhere in my house.  Each type of crystal resonates with its own vibrational energy and when it is near other things that have the same or similar energy it will bring the vibration back to where it should be if out of sync.. so if your liver is not happy, keeping a crystal in close proximity with the same vibration the liver should, be will bring back balance.  I use mine for my personal wellbeing, directly on others or in crystal grids to give a positive energy burst to people, places and situations.
 
As I said this is just a very quick overview.  When building your own Spiritual Toolkit, it is important to go with the flow of your own intuition.  If you are drawn to it in a positive way then give it a try.    As long as you start with the intention of doing no harm – then no harm can be done. 
 
Life is for living so let’s make it as easy as possible.
