That Goddess Energy – It Fills Me Up Everyday!

And just like that…I ventured into the auras of my upcoming ascension and this is what I saw and felt to a tee through image and words…….
The Goddess energy is a place inside me that has, until now, been hidden. It’s the spark of my intuitive truth. It’s what connects me to Mother Earth and to my human body. It’s the solid foundation that I live on.
This energy is because of the Goddess in me has planted her feet and spread her wings. The more I become in tune with my higher self, the deeper I can go in to the dreams and consciousness of the healing visuals of meditation. I dig my feet into the earth deeper knowing that the vibration is there for me to hold universal healing power for all. I do this, because of the perception deep within myself now, owning my MAGIC. As I step further into releasing my remaining fears, doubts and worries I know that by owning my humanity, I welcome in an even greater divinity of light. This light as I step higher is even more pure and it has more magic hidden where I now sleep. 
As I let myself loose, to wander even higher cliff faces and grassy knolls, I become even more creative and passionate about helping others. This gives me such a freedom filled with wild and deeper experiences, connecting deeper and deeper with beings from many different realms & dimensions.
As this goddess in me awakens, I am allowing my divine masculine energy to rest. There is no more need to fight him. No more need to have pain inflicted on me by him. I am free to create. Free to flow as it is now the time for the awakening of my feminine queen goddess energy. With the deeper and illuminating violet light emerging, I am glowing with an amazingness of the abundant universe. This life truly keeps flowing keeps me feeling connected because I am! These thoughts, feelings , actions and visuals through other realms and dimensions can not be wrong through my intuition but in fact is my emerging intuitive knowledge of myself knowing that I am here to save the world. Yes, I that’s right through this my upcoming ascension I am here to SAVE the world.

If you are looking for a intuitive healing mentor to help you navigate your own ascension- hit me up at http://www.facebook.com/TheBarefootGoddessAU . 
Namaste 🙏🏻 

Meditation Helps To Breathe Wellness Into Life….

I want to talk about two things tonight that I know a lot about! Those things are suicide & meditation. 

I want to talk about them because many people still gloss over meditation as a treatment for suicidal thoughts and urges. They seem to think meditation is too easy! However, I want to educate the world that those suicidal thoughts and urges can and will overwhelm people when life fills mind and body with too much noise. However when meditation is used in conjunction with other forms of mental health assistance, it is a very powerful tool and I will show the world that.

The idea with meditation is to relieve the mind of negative thoughts, so that focusing on the present can clear pain and suffering. There are many types of meditation and I have been very busy developing a project which I am about to launch. This project will endeavour to help all those struggling with their mental health. Allowing them to strengthen their minds and evaporating the dark thoughts from health and life.

Across the next month, I will be tempting you to what I am creating so that when we launch – we can together breathe wellness into life using the art of meditation. 

I hope you will wander with me, allowing your meditative breath to find wellness in mind and body.

Much love & healing

My Third Eye Awakening……

I’ve been striving  to enlighten the darkness that I’ve lived in for way to many years by diving deep and even deeper into the unknown of me. I’ve had some knowledge about the intuitive interface that is within me but nothing truly is preparing me for what is embracing my present stance. All I know is that my inner most torch of curiosity leads me forward.

You see, coming forward has meant awakening me as I was created all those years ago. Healing, learning, loving and finding more about my true purpose has opened my third eye.  Finding the key to unlocking my third eye and my true purpose has been life changing, as it has really allowed me to show the world who I really am and what I am here for.

That unlocking was just a few days ago……and wow I’ve been asking myself since what exactly has happened……because a lot of weird shit has been happening!

Going deeper to find some answers, I’ve learnt that our third eye is a gateway to spirituality and  by opening it, we open ourselves up to the spiritual realm.
Since opening my third eye up, I have begun to see things, I have started experiencing and feeling things around me. These experiences and feelings are entities that have always been around me, but now that I have awakened my  third eye I have a spiritual connection that allows me to see them.
This next step of my journey has opened up some fears that I am not actually sure about. You see, I feel I’ve awakened my consciousness that allows me to pass through the barriers of the physical realm of the present moment and it’s letting me go beyond.  What have I opened up in myself I am not sure, but my strong intuitiveness tells me that I must keep delving deeper. Something deeply imbedded in me is downloading as I write this, telling me that I have a chance to find a lost part of my personality that has long waited my attention. These last few hours have been excruciating with severe pain and discomfort not knowing what it could be? I don’t want to let go because if I do, I may lose some important part of me that needs to be seen and heard.

So with this new level of fear and somewhat excitement I look forward to finding more aspects of me that have been deeply buried. I know already that there is going to be positive outcomes that bring so much happiness but I also expect there is going to be things that scare the hell out of me but I know what comes forward is what needs to come forward for me to wander further on this journey of life for me and so many others across this globe.

So, if you are like me and you are working on healing and learning more about you…..let the clearing take place. Open up and let’s experience the magical moments that make the journey roll through. I would really like you to share your experiences with me about when you opened your third eye.

Much love

Reshaping, Reprogramming & Healing My Broken Brain…..

I haven’t been here for what seems an eternity!

WHY???   Well, I’ve been busy working on my new website, my book and many other things BUT mostly I’ve been working on me…..

Working on me, I’ve learnt an amazing process that has allowed me to improve myself in all areas of my health and it has been gradually improving my life to an extent that is simply unimaginable ( and no, I haven’t found a magic potion). The process is neurosculpting and basically it is learning how to engage both mind and body to connect, reshape and reprogram the neural pathways with positive choices and intentions. Let me tell you, when you have lived with Functional Neurological Disorder with symptoms that include seizures, no balance, brain fog, mycolonic jerks and paralysis just to name a few. 
Stepping out and following the plan that creator Lisa Wimberger gives in her book ” Neurosculpting- A whole brain approach to heal trauma, rewrite limiting beliefs and find wholeness” I have been able to truly for the first time begin to heal my brain. Being able to start the real healing I am beginning to reprogram my brain so that my brain and body will again communicate and work as it should. 

Neurosculpting isn’t magic and can pretty much be learnt by anyone who’s willing to try it out. If you’re able to commit to the steps that are described in the book and through the trainings that Lisa holds you’ll be like me being able to change how you see yourself and how you perceive living in the world. These two factors can make or break your possibilities and opportunities in life.

I never thought I would find a modality which could give me a real healing process. But I have and I am truly grateful…….and I would absolutely tell others that have been living with FND or other invisible illnesses to have a look at this way of healing for themselves.

If you would like any more information or details you can find the neurosculpting institute across on social media or perhaps have a look at the website – http://www.neurosculptinginstitute.com

I am so impressed, I have begun doing the prerequisite classes so that I can learn even more about the brain and this profound healing process and it’s my goal to fully heal and become a neurosculpting facilitator.

So you’ve read my review for neurosculpting, how about trying it for yourselves.

Namaste

Part 2 – The Healing Journey With FND……..

Back on June 26, I told of my introduction to the invisible illness, known as ‘Functional Neurological Disorder’ with “Once Upon A Time….Living With Invisible Illness”.

Once Upon A Time…..Living With A Body Filled With Invisible Illness. – A Barefoot Goddess On A Journey
https://abarefootgoddessonajourney.wordpress.com/2017/06/26/once-upon-a-time-living-with-a-body-filled-with-invisible-illness/

They were dark times…….many days filled with limb spasms, seizures, falls, lots of falls caused by chronic balance issues. Living with symptoms such as these, left me mentally, physically and emotionally drained and it seemed like no one understood. But, it really broke me when the paralysis down my right side occurred……I had to rely totally on those closest to me. Using cutlery was out, I had forgotten how to do my shoelaces up, my walking gait was non existent if I wanted to stay upright, but what made it worst, was that I could no longer crochet. Crochet was my thing….as it was something I could do…..when I couldn’t do anything at all, so not even being able to do that was like a nuclear bomb had gone off.

How was I going to get better…..how could I heal from this, those were my thoughts, constantly.

As, I had mentioned in my previous blog…..I was discharged from hospital with numerous referrals. A couple of weeks went on, when finally I began to receive home based NeuroPhysio to begin the process of helping me learn the art of ‘functional movement’. My home based physio, was wonderful. She pushed me but only as much as I needed. Over what would be four weeks, she enabled me to be able to sit and stand from my sofa, there was still wobbles and shakes but my brain was picking up signals from the body and I was making positive progress. Walking was very difficult and prior to therapy I only had been given a walking stick, which was pretty much useless. My home based physio was able to help me get a walker. Initially I wasn’t completely in agreeable to this mobility aid….but I soon found that it was a godsend. I could use it to help me progress my sit to stand. Using it to help teach me to formulate a walking gait was brilliant. Over, I think it was six weeks, she had really assisted my confidence towards mobility. Home based was then changed to centre based NeuroPhysio. I was lucky to be able to given another therapist that knew what FND was. From day one, we formed a bond. At the Williamstown Hospital where I was having physical therapy, I also began OT (occupational therapy) and thanks to my physio, I had an excellent OT plan created, allowing me to slowly build strength in my paralysed right hand. It was slow going. Some sessions, would see me move my hand, perhaps 5 cm along the table. But that activity caused such fatigue that I would sleep for a day and a half. NeuroPhysio was able to help me again help reconnect my internal software into knowing that to step I had to lift the leg up and down……up and down, again these sessions were also slow. It’s all progress, though and I learnt that even a little is the beginning of reconnecting my brains wiring to my body’s wiring.

In addition to the physical therapy, I began seeing a neuropsychologist. Again, I was sceptical how this could assist but as time went on, I began to learn that it was a spiralling of many things across my entire life that had caused my software malfunction. I had to work through the abuse that I had endured as a child and teenager as well as the many years living with the chronic combination of illnesses. I began to find that as my mind was being able to be cleansed of all the dark clutter that I had chosen to lock inside me, my body also was able to be cleansed. This psych work was working alongside the physical therapy.

I continue to use the physical therapies with the therapy to help the mental trauma, so that I can perhaps live the life that I most love. You see due to extreme fatigue and still requiring the walking frame for mobility when out n about I can’t work a ‘normal’ 40 hour job. I spend everyday working on healing, with the therapies that I’ve spoken about as well as using an adaptive yoga and meditation. I am also a vegan and I truly believe all my healing modalities are helping me to progress to those dreams and goals of living the life that I love. 

Although I cannot work a normal job, I now act as a advocate and speaker for invisible illnesses. Each day, I get stronger I seek to add more objectives and goals for raising awareness, support and research for illnesses, such as FND. If you’ve been following me, you would have noticed that I am creating a ongoing campaign known as #lightingtheflame for #invisibleillness that works on shining a light on all unseen health conditions. My other campaign is #standingup4FND and that is fully focused on functional neurological disorder and will be linked to my future documentary and book.

Functional Neurological Disorder is an ongoing battle to overcome, as the symptoms flow in and out without any notice. Some symptoms can be lived with, others leave me severely impaired. This disorder, is a illness that very few know about and that includes the specialist medical fraternity. For I and many others across my country of Australia and many other countries worldwide to progress with our healing we need much needed awareness, support and so much more research.

Journaling Thoughts, Brings Affirmations That Transform…..

Journaling today, has set my agenda for the new week ahead! That agenda is all about health being without a doubt, wealth. To create the type of wealth I want for my mental and physical health, I need to set daily intentions with affirmations, that keeps my ignition on full power.  Living with invisible illness, that ideology can be hard but with practice, when you set the mind to think healthy thoughts, you can stay on board the track to filling up on a wealth of health.

The connection between our mind and body is becoming more prominent, with regard to healing the illnesses that we cannot see.  You see, a lot of invisible illnesses are heightened by negative thought and emotions because our immune systems have been lowered and compromised for an abundant number of reasons. When we can allow our minds to become still and calm, we give ourselves a chance to heal right down to the cellular core.
Living with chronic and invisible health conditions, many of us allow our emotions to be controlled by our thought patterns and these  very thought patterns are often formed at will, when needed to comfort us when we are in fear or doubt about health and life. Setting intentions using affirmations daily, help us to create new and more positive thought patterns and thus help us to develop new strategies for healing our health.
The quote, “Change your thoughts, change your life” is so profound when building stronger and resilient health foundations. You can fill the mind with new healing health thoughts and actions when you choose to use regular positive health intentions and affirmations. One such affirmation that I use every single day is this beauty – 

“Every passing day my body becomes more energetic, more healthy.”

Repeating affirmations like this one, over and over has absolutely helped me find new and positive steps into healing my health. Even, when the day is glum, simply allowing myself to find a place to be still brings me back to the heart of my affirmation and positivity reigns over the pain and suffering that maybe being felt. The process of repeating a sentence as an intention or affirmation, over and over regularly impresses the subconscious mind, so that it slowly starts transforming the body to align with the mental thoughts that you want to attract.

As I said before , there is more and more  profound evidence through medical research, about chemicals, naturally found in our bodies reacting differently to emotions in our  minds, thus making us negative or positive. When we are healthy and happy, the  chemicals  produce emotions that are helpful to us.  When we are sad and perhaps ill of health, these chemicals are harmful to our bodies. Thus, thoughts affect the body. It is clear that positive affirmations for health can have only positive effects on the body. 

So I believe, by selecting a affirmation that will help create new health boundaries is an important step to finding that wealth of health. The affirmation I mentioned earlier is on repeat many times a day internally and externally for me.  I will generally use one main affirmation for many months or until I can see it manifesting what I am affirming into my reality, but I do have other affirmations and intentions that I can use at particular times. Affirmations complement my more mainstream medical treatments BUT they do not replace them and nor would I want them too. I have not discontinued any treatment or medication, that my doctors have prescribed, however by using affirmations, I have strengthened my mind and body allowing positive change to help me achieve a much better journey towards holding the health and life that I want. By following this path, slowly but surely I am reducing medications and treatments to more natural and holistic ways of healing.

These are some of my other favourite affirmations that I have used and still use;

• My mind is calm and peaceful, allowing me to be more energetic & vibrant in thought and action.
• Every day is a new day full of hope, happiness and health.
• I am my own creator, because I create who I am and what I am.
• I breathe in deeply, so that every cell in my body is conscious to greatness.

So as I closed my journal this morning…..my breath took me to a place where I stand wth so much power.  That power is because I align so closely to the affirmation that sings in my heart with every breath I take and make. Even with my tired days, I can feel energy transforming my most inner self allowing within me that without a doubt health is wealth and I am becoming abundant in all areas of it.

If my ramblings today, about journaling and affirmations have helped you,  that makes me happy.  Because by sharing my experiences of living with invisible illness in despair and joy is why I light the flame for greater awareness. If we haven’t connected in social media yet, make sure you jump by and say hi on the following channels and if you want to light the flame for invisible illness, we launch tomorrow.

Tired, Weary, Broken & Fucked Up……..

So what happens when we fall……and we all do!

You know, those moments when we are tired, weary, broken & fucked up!!!!

These thoughts, feelings and actions occur when we live with invisible illness. These are the moments that make us need to keep fighting the pain of being chronically and invisibly ill. Illnesses such as anxiety, depression, autoimmune and neurological disorders fill us with scars that embed deeply into our mental, emotional and physical being. 

Beginning the process of healing and recovery from these debilitating illnesses takes work BUT throughout the process and progress, low energy succumbs and we fall……! We tire and perhaps stumble from all the work that it takes to recover AND it affects us…..and if this happens, we fall and we break!!!! 

When this happens, we feel that we have fucked everything up……all that progress-RUINED!

But these emotions that come and go when wandering a journey with invisible illness are real and we should not be ashamed of letting the world see them! We haven’t fucked up….it’s a stumble and yeah, if we fall, it’s just that a fall…..stand back up – be present and be YOU! Remember even mentally and physically strong people fall! This conversation that I am having tonight is such a strong anti-suicide message, for why fighting is so important to remember when we are overwhelmed with the chronic pain and suffering of these illnesses.

You are saying. . . but at these moments I’m too tired to keep fighting……Yeah, I get it, I’ve felt really tired too and YES I still tire after all my 15 years fighting……but I won’t give up, I don’t give up!

Invisible illnesses are diseases that can take a life time to recover from. They grind away at our inner most core, sucking the life out of us, just as we are rebuilding ourselves up from the ground. The fight becomes a moment to moment battle everyday and as we go, we have to listen to the self whispering, but more than that we have to stand up to our voices and the external voices who don’t recognise our illnesses as illnesses……it’s exhausting, and it’s why we get tired, weary and feel broken and fucked up!

These illnesses, these invisible fucking illnesses never take holidays so every day and every night you have to fight, fight and fight again. You might be finding the biggest reasons in the world to give up, but those reasons don’t need to be your reality. In fighting these illnesses, no one can see or know how hard you’re working to keep going every day. The fight is hard and in the walk to recovery you will feel broken.

BUT, WE NEED TO FIGHT……I know, you are saying, you don’t want too,  sometimes I have said that too, but you don’t get to stop. I’m sorry, but the statistics say life is better than death and I insist you go on living……I am and I do!

But the good news is that when you choose to fight, you choose to take your next breath. Our invisible illnesses want to steal us of everything that we want to and need to experience today, tomorrow and the days after that. But we are  not going to let these illnesses win. We are going to breathe in and out, one breath at a time, each and everyday knowing that this is our best fight and it’s enough, it will always be enough, because I am enough and you are enough!

Being tired is OK. Being weary is OK, feeling broken and yelling that we have fucked up is OK. But by taking the next breath…..after the yelling session, is all we need to do…..because that’s the process of the healing fight.
If you are resonating with my thoughts, feelings and conversations tonight please let me know, by liking and sharing this blog.

 I write about my experiences with wandering a journey with all the invisible illnesses that are part of me because when we share our stories we connect and help each other.

I am a advocate and speaker who has made it my mission to change the way healing and recovery is seen for all that live with invisible illness.

I’ve Been Gifted & Now I’m Gifting You, The Art Of Meditation….

Today I recorded my first set of healing meditations.

This has been a huge step for me, as it has put me on a platform of knowing that through mindful action I have learnt to control my inner most thoughts and it has set me on my newest path to determining a true quality of life.

Through meditation I have found the ability to control those words that nobody else can hear. By learning how to turn down or better turning off that inner voice, I’ve been able to shift not only my internal actions but also my external happenings. In doing this, I am improving my brain functions that have been severely impacted by a range of of chronic illnesses over many years.

Meditation heals and it has allowed me to go within my own self, learning how my thoughts, feelings and actions can be breathed clearly and freely without stress and judgement that the busyness of modern world gives.

Meditation changes lives and it has changed mine! It has brought me a new level of awareness and a form of gentle art that is changing the way I do things. It allows me a sense of positivity that absolutely brings me peace of mind through an internal light that has been switched on giving me so much happiness to my healing journey. This is why everyday I wake to meditation that sets the foundations to the rest of my day. To ensure my day stays as it starts I will stop for shortened meditation sessions. These shorter meditations are also great, if external stresses come flowing across life! Of course, just as I did when I awoke I also allow meditation in before I go to sleep. These moments of going inwards allows me to let go of all the daily thoughts and actions,  in readiness for my mind and body to rest.

Meditation has given me a gift that I shall always be grateful for and that’s why I would like to offer you the same gift. If you would like to try using meditation to help your healing journey please email me at harmonishakti@gmail.com

Meditation, You Are My Intimate Friend….🙏🏻

Tonight, as most nights I sat with stillness – yes meditation AND can I tell you what I deciphered is that my meditation is sitting intimately with thy self saying hello beautifully and blissfully. 
Being able to develop and create such a internal connection is a special kind of inner relationship that leads me to being able to make amazing magic in life, despite the crippling hurdles that have been met.
I say to you, if you are struggling take a moment or maybe a few and let the journey with mindfulness take you away. Let it take you to you, through your breathe in every beat! What you will find is a friendship like no other AND it’s a friendship that can greet you whenever you choose to take its hand…..
Are you ready?
