Who Am I?
How many of you have ever wondered what exactly is your true self? I know it may sound boring to most of us, after all, who has time to find out about concepts like "true self"! We are more interested in what the latest fad is, the latest celebrity news, the newest political scandal, the hottest gossips.

The Bottom Half Doesn't Matter
I've become lazy. So incredibly lazy. In many ways, this is understandable. Without the added impetus of socializing, or having to commute to work, or... well, anything else, really, days merge into each other. In fact, without consulting my phone, I'm not always sure what day it actually is.

New Year, New Me
I’ll be the first to admit, positive thinking is not my strong suit. I can be cynical, and I’ve battled with periods of depression. After getting through 2020 in all it’s unpleasantness, I’ve decided to try and change that. I’m realistic enough to know it may not work as well as I hope it will, but that won’t stop me from trying.

The Book of Possibilities
I found the book that would change my life on a cold winter day. My life was looking pretty dismal following a series of unfortunately timed events which knocked my perfectly planned young-adult life out of whack. I had just been let go from a career path I had set my sights on for the better part of my 28 years on Earth. Granted, the reasons for it where completely out of my personal control, having been unable to attend said job due to a worldwide pandemic that the likes of, had not been seen in over 100 years. So at least I knew I hadn’t done anything “wrong” to make the gig go sideways. However, it hurt and I was confused.

The Day I Got Thrown The Chair
JD is a consummate professional. By the time I began training with him he had already trained naval rescue swimmers for over 20 years. His wife is a former coach of the New Zealand Olympic swim team. He had once nearly failed inspection in Hawaii. A young man had succumbed to a shallow water blackout, which is very common during the early phases of hypoxic drills in preparation for free dive training. The revival is usually simple.

Spiritual Awakening
As a person who has sufferred 35 years of abuse by various people in my life you can imagine the amount of toxic stress released into my body. As a result of this I suffer from Fibromyalgia and Functional Neurological Disorder, I am 39 years old. I worked as a carer for 17+ years and then went to uni and graduated as a nurse in 2013, unfortunatley I was signed off work in Jun 2020 due to ongoing seizures. It was during this time I realised how much I had neglected my own self-care needs because I was too focused on caring for others. It was then I decided I was going to put myself first for a change, not in a selfish way but in a way that made my own wellness matter especially my emotional health. As a sufferer of PTSD this is very important in order to live a relatively normal life, so I started to meditate. I lit candles, used oil burners that sent the aroma of Laveneder through the house and played music that was aimed at balancing all my chakras. Not knowing what these were I started to study and research so I had all the right information so I could do it right. I also used to be a negative thinker my therapist told me that this was my thoughts and all the negative things I had been told almost my entire life. I am not my thoughts I am not my thoughts I kept telling myself in my head. It was during this time something started to happen to me, I just felt different. I was no longer in an abusive relationship I had finally found a loving man who dotes on me, he has helped me heal immensely. As it was nearing xmas time my stress levels hightened so I started doing 2 meditations per day once in the morning usually aimed at healing and keeping my chakras aligned and the other one I did at night before I fell asleep. I had no idea the amount of guided meditations and music there were there are litarally thousands and thousands. I noticed one on meeting your spirit guides I did this one for 7 days before bed, I had an encounter with spirit my best friend who sadly died but they told me everything was gonna be alright, I felt so calm and warm, after this my intuition got better and my level of conciousness opened up and my third eye opened up for sure, if anyone is interested in meditation I would highly recommend it.
