Sleep, the best healer

Not such a great day today. I woke up feeling the pain and promptly went back to sleep.

I went out last night and had a fabulous time but as the evening wore on I could feel my joints tightening up and the pain returning.

Each time I woke for the toilet, the pain was there. As I was waking this morning I wondered if I would/should go back on the prednisolone and I think I had made the decision that I would. As I got up and got moving things weren’t as bad as I thought. My knees were sore but not painful, my neck was sore but manageable, the only thing that was really ‘ouchy’ was the index finger on my right hand. It is swollen and extremely tender to touch. So I am sitting here typing with it stuck in the air!

I have been quiet today and not so buoyant. Was very sleepy as the day wore on. Had a client this afternoon for Bowen and was pleasantly surprised that with my finger in the air I could still perform the moves. We had a great session, so even though I was tired I was upbeat. ThetaHealing clients are fine for me as there is no bodywork involved and my concern, or fear I guess, was that if I don’t resolve this I am not going to be able to do Bowen.

As always while I was in the shower I had some insights into some inner work that I need to do.

Now I am extremely pleased that I waited to see before I rushed in and took the prednisolone. Another day down! I’m still taking all the supplements and have started on the eating program so I am wondering how long it will be before I notice a difference. I was also given the name of an holistic doctor today. I have rung them and they are sending out a questionnaire for me to fill in and when it is returned they will make an appointment.

All positive things and I feel like I’m moving forward. Now because it’s such a cold and miserable night my bed is calling and I’m listening. Sleep really is the best healer.

Money is the Root of All Evil …

Did you hear that when you were growing up? Perhaps you heard ….. ‘Money doesn’t grow on trees’, ‘we can’t afford it’, ‘I don’t know how we’re going to pay these bills’, ‘you need money to make money’, ‘you have to work hard to earn

Our body is always talking to us?

Sadly, most of us don’t listen.   Or we only listen when we are brought to our knees.   I admit that even though I have known this for a long time and have been teaching it for the past twenty years I don’t always

Gratitude is an Attitude

A funny story from a long time ago …

When I first heard about gratitude, years and years ago, I thought

that if I was grateful for what I had in that moment that meant I would be stuck there and never have anything better!

And because that was my belief at the time I didn’t carry out the act of gratitude for many many years.

Definitely not a smart move

I was living in Sydney at the time and wanted desperately to move out of the rat race to somewhere quieter that would feed my soul.

Twenty years ago next month the dream I had held onto for so long came to fruition

and we moved to Kiama, the best decision we ever made!

Before that eventuated I had to sit in the situation I was in at the time and have gratitude for all that I had in my life then and there

I had let go of the belief I’d had such a tight grip on that to be grateful in the moment meant I would be stuck there

So not true!

In fact it was the reverse

Once you begin to have gratitude for what you have in your life then more things start to flow to you

The most important thing is to know what it is you wish to manifest in your life

Most people when asked what they want in their life come up blank

We all have a great long list of all the things we don’t want and nothing on the ‘do want’ list

So what happens is we are focused on the ‘don’t want’ and surprise, surprise that’s what keeps on showing up!!

The lesson here is to have gratitude for everything you have in your life now (just look around you) and focus on what you do want in your life.

Gratitude is a powerful manifestation tool.

TIP: if you have a list of what you don’t want it is easy to flip it to what you do want
