Lynette now specialises in discovering the emotions behind your illness using crystal therapy, shamanism and energy healing. My name is Lynette and I am a holistic healer. Since the age of nineteen I have been told by all clairvoyants that my path in life is to be a healer. Now at the age of 45, I know completely without any doubt at all, this is my soul’s purpose in this lifetime. My journey started in my 20’s when I became initiated in Reiki and started to devour spiritual books and had moments of being clairvoyant and dreams of my guides trying to teach me how to use crystals but I just wasn’t ready yet. Then at 27 I decided to study Naturopathy and for the last 10 years became very science based working as a clinical naturopath and commenced lecturing at Endeavour College for the last two years. And as all good healers know – there is no escaping – the healer must heal themselves. I know personally that we don’t usually come willingly to our own healings. My healing was undertaken due to sheer necessity, I had many, many food sensitivities and had developed multiple chemical sensitivities. I was taking naturopathic supplements, but they weren’t getting to the true roots of my condition. Now, most illnesses don’t develop over night often taking many months and years to develop along with many months and years of negative thought patterns and self talk and avoidance. And it wasn’t until I was unable to eat a regular plate of food without severly reacting that I was forced to look inward. Forced to see that I had been putting myself last on the list, behind my then husband, child and patient base. I had to become completely honest with myself, look deeply inside and see all the negative emotions I had been storing up over the years, the one’s that nobody could tell were there, the hate, anger, resentment, dissapointments.…I had kept it just under the surface simmering , like women tend to do. Yet, I would get glimmers of it from time to time, but would shove it to the back of my mind, as on some level I knew that dealing with it all would mean I would need to make big changes within my life, and I didn’t want to know about this, as I didn’t believe I had the inner strength to stand on my own in this world. So one day after crying yet again over how unfortunate I was to have severe allergies, I’d had enough. I wanted out, out of the self-pity, the whinging and complaining, I wanted something better. And I decided to commit and to choose myself, at whatever cost that may be. It was challenging, terrifying, difficult and confronting and there were times I felt I didn’t have the strength to do this. But I couldn’t turn back. I knew I had to come into my power, and I did. That meant looking at the reasons I had low self esteem and transforming them. It meant mastering the art of self love, and I have. It meant seeing where my boundaries were weak and strengthening them. Being in your power does not mean you are now perfect, won’t ever feel pain or doubt again or won’t have another issue to transform. But it does mean you have set your inner foundation, you have a knowing and belief that resonates deep from within your inner core and shines outwards. The feeling runs deep, even past this lifetime, you know without a doubt you have a distinct purpose, you are completely worthy of love and you are a spiritual being and that your spirit is eternal and unbreakable. This is what being in my power feels like for me.
