Being a Human Lighthouse

To integrate a ego pattern of unprocessed energy- whether it is appearing as a physical symptom, pain or a behaviour or a repeated life circumstance it is vital to become aware of the issue. Awareness is the first step to integration/healing. Often the awareness will shift a lot of the problem, but sometimes a tricky pattern or energy can require the safe presence of a compassionate witness. The e...

I asked to meet and live from my soul- from my own Higher Power, the part of me that is whole, loving, compassionate, wise and knows it is connected to the universe. This spiritual seeking triggered a dark night of the soul. I am still in this dark night. What does the dark night of the soul mean? It is the universe and soul’s way of leading me towards my request. To become whole and our true self...

Sometimes on the journey to healing or knowing our SELF we use a variety of tools and techniques from various practitioners. Sometimes these tools and techniques are helpful at guiding us closer to our inner wisdom and higher self. At other times they can be a bandaid, used to cover up the patterns and energies that require changing because we give the technique the power. We believe they will be...

I was at a film night with friend. We watched ‘The Wisdom of Trauma’. My friend asked about the concept of inner children, so I described them like a series of Russian dolls…with every moment of our life represented by the dolls in a linear way…until the present moment. The doll’s shape may change or the expression may alter at a point when a trauma or unprocessed emotion occurred. With somatic th...

From my learnings I have have come to view humanity, each of us, as having an inner essence, inner wisdom, a perfect version/template of ourselves and that eons of human existence with its imperfection, ego driven behaviours has acquired layers upon layers of ‘stuck’ energy from our lives and those we have inherited. This has created an outer armour of unprocessed energy & emotions. What has happe...

There is more usually, to physical chronic pain, injuries & illness. Recovery is not just about the body but also about how we are thinking/believing, what unprocessed emotional issues are running unconsciously in the background calling for our attention with the symptoms or even the spiritual aspect to the issue. Connecting to our inner wisdom, being in awe when in nature or when gazing at the st...

We all have an inner wisdom/inner voice. The clue is in the name - INNER wisdom/voice. It is within us. We all have it. But we are often blocked from connecting to it. Having a dysregulated nervous system, a.k.a being in chronic stress blocks access to our inner wisdom. Every emotion has a corresponding frequency & vibration. It has been mapped by Dr David Hawkins. Shame & guilt are the lowest fre...

A true spiritual journey requires your to go your own way and abandon the well trodden tracks of others before you. There are no maps, no paths, no signs with directions (well maybe the universe provides a few directions, though they may be cryptic & not easily recognised or understood). It requires trusting yourself and accessing your inner wisdom & understanding the universe gives the next step,...

If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path . Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path. Joseph Campbell No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Buddha March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp...

In my opinion our unconscious beliefs are one of the most important factors driving our health issues and any other issues or patterns in our lives. Often formed when very young, too young to question them. They crystallise into an iceberg of congealed repeated thoughts, where the deepest, largest parts are hidden from view. Somatic and other healing therapies assist bringing these submerged hidde...

I am a somatic therapist & counsellor. I believe we all have an inner wisdom/inner voice/soul etc that is our whole perfect selves. This inner wisdom knows what is best for us in all areas of our life. It is connected to the universe and All-That-Is etc but gets blocked/covered up by all the traumas/patterns/issues that happen to us, to our ancestors, or collectively, that we have not been able to...

I have never been one to be able to make long term plans for my life. I once had a friend decades ago who was very rigid about making 5 year plans. I used to joke back then that the Universe only allows me to make 5 minute plans. I feel this time frame may have speeded up since 2020. Just when I feel I have a structure or some idea which path I am taking, I feel the hand of the Universe step in an...

I find it fascinating that when someone holds space for another, or I do a process or technique that connects me to myself on a deeper level, the outer circumstance can (appear to) stay the same but inside everything is lighter, calmer more peaceful. This change can happen almost instantly. This makes me realise the circumstance is not as important as our inner reactions. I need to only work on my...

Chronic pain, injury and illness are issues many in the world are dealing with despite improved science and medical interventions. In my opinion there is often a missing link over looked and that is how past traumas, patterns and poor programming as well as faulty beliefs which have come from unprocessed issues from our own lives or from ancestral or collective trauma. These create energy blocks w...

I have learned so much in regards to science and spirituality. I apply all my tools and practices. I realised that I still have had a pattern that has been there in the background sabotaging me. (We always will have some patterns, they just get to deeper levels until we hit Christ Consciousness or Buddha status) It is a stubborn pattern. But I am aware of it and am willing to sit with it and surre...

This time of the year is always challenging for me. I feel myself slowing down, reflecting and analysing how the past year has been for me. I often feel sad, lonely, isolated at times, as here in Australia it is a time for family and holidays and many things close down for 4-6 weeks. It is when I go within for deeper healing. This is when I allow these feelings so they can be healed within me. I e...

Today, I discuss how we all have inner wisdom but it is blocked by our faulty beliefs, unprocessed emotions, suppressed and repressed energies. I show how we can start to let go of this ‘outer’ energetic armour to access this inner wisdom. And I finish with my nervous system balancing meditation and self healing activation process. Let me know what comes up for you? Did anything shift? This is a p...

Our body talks to us in sensations, feelings and we label these as emotions. If we do not have time or resources to process them they get trapped and suppressed/repressed in our body and over time they can use up so much energy keeping them down and hidden that we open ourselves up to physical pain and injuries and health issues. Today I start a short discussion on this and use my meditation proce...

We can only change ourselves. Sometimes we only need tot week one thing, maybe our diet, then everything changes or maybe we need a combination of exercise, diet or inner work….it is an individual combination. We need to tune into ourselves and find the best way our body needs to be in true health and optimal alignment. Today’s podcast is an introduction to this process. If you live in Australia a...

I have renamed my podcast from Talking to mySELF to the same name as my Substack posts, ‘Being a Human Lighthouse’. Today I have an introduction to the way I wish to focus on my podcast in future. I am a Transformational Somatic Therapist & Health Coach and I am a catalyst for people to assist them to improve their health and life by integrating the whole self, the body, mind, emotions and soul. T...

To be our true authentic self, the false patterns and programs that were created to keep us safe before we had developed the tools to deal with them, need to be identified and allowed to be present while we integrate them into inner peace and wisdom. It isn’t easy or fun at times but is part of the process to living aligned with our true essence/soul. Today I am dissolving pattern in real time. Th...

This week I am talking about how loud the chattering voice of fear is compared to the quiet whispers of our soul/inner essence. Learning not to respond to fears screams can be a challenge as it blocks access to our inner essence and its wisdom. Try my meditation presensing process to turn down the volume on fear and better access your own inner quiet so you can listen to the whispers of your soul....

I used to always feel ashamed and guilty when I learned something new and unpleasant about myself and realised I had not been perfect in the past, before I learned this new perspective or new consciousness. I expected myself to have like a quantum perfection - if I learned something today it should automatically update everything I did in the past. How great would that be if it worked? Beating our...

This week I am pondering why so many who are interested in true health and have made the effort to change diet and exercise but are reluctant to acknowledge their own shadow self. The shadow is our unconscious, all the unintegrated emotions, beliefs and faulty programming that is running the show in the background on autopilot - until we make it conscious by shining the light of our conscious awar...

I love the metaphor of the caterpillar to the butterfly. Three times now people have told me I am in this phase or I have been listening to a teacher of mine and they have talked about caterpillars turning to butterflies….right now I feel I am in the chrysalis…wondering how long it might be before I break out as a butterfly:)…..changing from one form to the next is a process that takes time and is...
