WOW!

2021 surely felt like one giant leap of faith.🏃‍♀️

Faith that if I simply continue moving through layers of challenging emotions, life ALWAYS brings solutions to even the most challenging questions!

So, here is a quick summary of some of the

💎Things I am Proud of Myself for Accomplishing in 2021💎.

✅Becoming a certified PSYCH-K instructor,

✅Becoming a "Standing Strong" Instructor and teaching 1 term of an after-school activity, targeted at strengthening body, mind and heart for primary school kids.

Both inspiring and challenging experience.

✅Embracing a 3-min ICE BATH experience, as the part of the 8-week "Invictus" course.

It was more about the 8-week period of facing deep fears and suppressed emotions before the actual dip, but still very daring and challenging overall experience;

✅Finishing 30-day Running Challenge🏃‍♀ after 10 YEARS of not being able to run due to asthma, anaemia, and sleep-deprivation.

✅Completing Visceral Osteopathy training and over 100 hours of practice with amazing results within 2-months only. Still amazed at the depth of this practice.

✅Studying herbal therapy, and gaining deep knowledge of how to use over 50 herbs.

✅10-days spent on herbal teas🍵 with honey ONLY with literally zero discomfort. Amazing what our bodies and capable of!

✅Completing all of the above practices resulted in normalising functionality of various organs and systems , after being diagnosed with all sorts of "hormonal disbalances", "inherited diseases" etc.

✅Restoring insulin levels back to normal in 2 months from the highest the doctors have seen in their career.

✅Completing a big de-cluttering project.

I felt a very strong correlation between the release of the inner "old baggage", and being able to let go of material things.

"As within, so without", so to say.

Really cool to see it manifesting every time.

2022.

I don't know what it's going to be like.

But I am curious to find out what else is possible🍾

Forgiving ourselves for making a mistake is a very difficult thing to do.

Despite all of the awareness that we may have about the importance of forgiveness, we often tend to reserve to

🔔avoidance,
🔔predending it never happened,
🔔looking for someone to blame,
🔔covering it up with excuses, food, alcohol, cigarretes etc.

Everything but simply admitting the mistake.

And forgiving ourselves for it, grateful for the lessons that it taught us.

So simple in theory, but so difficult at times, when we do feel like a 6-year old who is about to get into trouble for some sort of a mischief or misbehaviour.

Next time you make a mistake, see if you can look your inner child in the eyes and really forgive him/her for whatever happened.

🌟Dear Diary- Part 6: Instant Manifestation🌟

Ok, to lighten things up a bit I will share a funny story.

So, as I was looking for an office space for client sessions, I found an amazing space with a beautiful waterfront view.😍

I caught myself thinking that I should book it for the next 6 months, so that I don't end up in a situation when I need it and it's not available.

But then I realised that it was going to be an action, based on FEAR that there wouldn't be availability when I needed it.🤔

So, using one of the subconscious mind programming processes, I "downloaded", so to say, a new possibility statement:

"There is always a SPACE for me when I need it".

So far the office has been available on the days I needed it.

However, there were also unexpected BONUS side benefits over the following few days:

❤ A car pulling out right next to me, whenever I needed a parking space, even on busiest parking lots!

❤ Doctor appointments(spaces) suddenly appearing at really busy clinics,

❤Course spaces becoming available for last minute registration.

Cool!?

Power of Transforming our fears and limiting beliefs😁

Would you be interested in finding out how to identify those limiting beliefs that prevent you from achieving your desired goals in life?

🌟Dear Diary- Part 6: Incompletions🌟

There is hardly anything that challenges us more than certain incompleted experiences, unclosed Gestalts, if you prefer psychology terminology.

We prefer to pretend that we don't have those incompletions - we prefer to numb them with various comfort foods, addictive substances, even physical exercise - anything just to not feel the pain of incompletions.

My breakthrough this time was allowing myself to be sad about certain incompletions from the past, allowing myself to feel vulnerable instead of trying to shift, move, transform them, as inconveniences.

Simply embracing and letting them be.

That allowance came with some strong emotions surfacing, but then it felt like an ocean after the storm - calm and silent.

Empowering.

Dear Diary- part 5

Did I mention all of the above happened within a 4-week period. Can hardly believe it myself😂

Ok, a day before the birth I previously described, I attended a second week of the 8-week Women Healing Circle Course.

Again, I can probably write a book or two just about that, but will keep it short and sweet for now.

I sort of came into the course expecting to hear more of the same stuff I already knew about breathing, connecting within, self-nourishment etc.

Little did I know that being a part of that course would bring me such powerful insights.

It was about shifting something I had been desperately trying to connect to with no consistent results over about 19(!) years of my life, which caused a lot of inner resentment that there was this one area which wouldn't move despite so much effort being directed towards it.

So when this long-awaited shift in my perception of my inner energy and my body had actually occurred literally overnight, I officially allowed myself to claim, that everything was possible.

Simply amazing what the Power of Intention is capable of, even if with some areas of life it takes a while to manifest.

Totally and completely worth persisting despite the lack of instant results!

🌟Dear Diary, Part 3🌟

In the midst of it all, a good friend of mine is due any day and she asks me to be a support person for the hospital birth.

Ok, it can be a very long story here, as me and hospitals pretty much had a non-existent relationship.

I had to stay there by myself as a kid a few times, and my inner child perceived it as quite a traumatic experience.

So, to cut the story short, for my own 3 births I was willing to dig and rewire my entire conscious, subconscious, unconscious, superconscious, younameit-conscious mind, just to avoid having a baby there.

And it worked - I had 3 home-births, with the last being an unplanned freebirth (I caught her myself) without pain.

For the whole story, listen to the episode of a "Hey Mumma" podcast I had an honour of being a part of.

Link in bio⬆️.

But my avoidance of hospitals still stayed.

So an idea of attending of hospital birth brought up a lot of emotional unprocessed layers.

Thanks Universe I had PSYCH-K® and all of my other tools and techniques, to shift very quickly from a complete resentment and fear of being overwhelmed at the first sight of hospital procedures and regulations, to peacefully embracing the whole experience.

And the most amazing part-it ended up being an incredibly healing experience.

Short for words to describe what it feels like to see another person's baby being born...

Anyone who had seen it will understand.

It was the most sacred, inspiring and incredible thing I have ever witnessed apart from my own children born.

Still amazed at the depth of that experience❤

Dear Diary, part 2🌟

"Exciting New Beginning"

Ok, following the emptiness I feel after launching my "Healing from Within" online course ⬆️, we pack to go on a camping trip.

I take one book with me, which I have been meaning to re-read for quite some time: "Biology of Belief" by Dr.Bruce Lipton.

I have been following the guy for over a decade, but somehow reading his most popular book stayed on my "some day one day" list.

Ok, so I start reading it in a tent and I simply can not stop.

I literally spend the next 2 days glued to that book, until I finish it.

Quick summary - "Mind-Blowingly Amazing!".

The way Bruce Lipton combines decades of his molecular biology insights and observations with deep spiritual messages is just pure gold.

So, I feel inspired to check where in the world I can do the PSYCH-K® facilitator course the author speaks so highly of.

This modality is used for releasing stresses, anxieties, bad habits, limiting beliefs, and reprogramming subconscious mind to generate breakthroughs in various areas of life.

It sounds like it will complement beautifully everything else I have been using in my life coaching practice up until that moment.

If there is one guy I trust, that would certainly be the Harvard professor who managed to do the impossible and introduce spirituality and quantum physics into mainstream biology with incredible results.

So, given the worldwide situation, I expect the course to be available maybe in 2022 somewhere in the U.S...

I check and find out there is one starting locally in my city in Australia (for the first time in 12 months) in 4 days! 4 days!

Well, I obviously signed-up for it to become the PSYCH-K® facilitator, and you will keep hearing a lot about the breakthroughs that followed...😉

Link in Bio for Bruce Lipton's interview about "Biology of Belief" and PSYCH-K®⬆️

See you back here soon with the next insight❤

All I can say is WOW!

Last month, leading up to my 36th bitthday, has been one heck of a month with so many insights and breakthroughs that it would have been enough to write a book or two😂

Doing a NYE reflection, I had no idea that wishing for a "Breakthrough" would manifest into a shape and form it did within such a quick period of time.

At the beginning of this year I have also created an intention to share more of my deeper insights and realizations.

As I believe a true relationship is the one built on sharing vulnerable moments and not just our wins.

So, I have decided to start these "Dear Diary" Series to share with you some of the amazing things that have been happening in my life.

So, here it goes.

🌟Dear Diary, Part 1🌟

Ok, so this "boring" month started with me staring at what seemed like a blank space.

I had spent December 2020 pulling together the pieces of the "Healing from Within" Online Quiz and Video course, which is a tool that pretty much nicely summarises everything I have been working on over the past 6 years.

It felt fantastic managing to finally pull it all together just before I was interviewed for a "Pain-Free Birth" episode at a lovely "Hey Mumma" podcast.

Both the Podcast Episode and the Video Course links are in Bio⬆️

However, following that, I felt that emptiness inside that often comes after achieving a challenging goal.

If should be satisfaction right?

But ironically I find that often it is not.

Following the initial joy and cheer, there is often a bit of sadness until a new project or goal appears.

Can you relate to that? Have you ever experienced something similar after achieving a big milestone?

Would love to hear your thoughts❤

How powerful is this quote!

Such an amazing reminder that step-by-step we can truly transform our life by releasing the disempowering limiting beliefs we have picked up along the way.

✊❤

When was the last time you nourished yourself?

Not for a moment or two, but really allowed yourself to relax completely, switch your mind off, and simply be, without trying to get I's dotted and T's crossed.

What would it take for you to create such an experience for yourself, even if it is just an hour long?💆‍♀️🛁🧘‍♀️🍵

Such experiences are as valuable as periods in sentences:

🌟They allow us to process the sentence that we have just written,
🌟Take full lungs of air and
🌟Embark on the next part of the journey with renewed vigour and readiness to tackle challenges life throws at us.

Book one activity in your calendar that you are going to take this month to give yourself a precious and much needed gift of relaxation.

Comment with a ❤, once you do.

When I came to Australia for the first time 14 years ago and watched surfing lessons at Bondi beach, I never ever thought that Australia would become a place my 3 daughters would be growing up 🏄‍♀️

For me personally it was always going to be a temporary stop, which ultimately (to my big surprise and years of resistance) turned into a permanent place of living.

Isn't it interesting how for some things we need to work so hard, while other happen almost effortlessly, sort of against all odds.

Over the years I have learnt a very hard lesson to let go and simply enjoy surfing the waves of life with all of its unexpected turns, as fighting it and trying to swim in the opposite direction was costing me way too much energy and efforts.

Have you ever been in a situation, when an unexpexted turn of events in your life brought you where you were not planning to end up?

10/01/2021

Are you feeling uninspired?

Wanted to share a motivational poem I have recently come across in Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich book.

Hope it inspires you too!🌟🌟🌟

"If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't,
If you like to win, but you think you can't
It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!

Have you ever wished you had a magic wand?🌟🌟🌟

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if any time you felt disempowered, resentful, or resigned you could wave the magic wand to disappear the overwhelming state of mind?🤔

I certainly have.

So, I spent the past 5 years creating such a magic wand!

It is a unique one of a kind "Emotional Transformation Tool", which is an interactive quiz that takes you on a step-by-step journey of identifying and releasing various challenging emotions.👣

The Tool is meant to be used on the go anywhere any time to empower you at times you feel stuck, stressed and overwhelmed.💫

Well, it takes a bit more effort than simply waving thr magic wand, but it certainly feels like magic once you learn to dissolve challenging emotional layers!

1️⃣ First, the tool takes through a simple quiz which helps you to discover WHICH emotion is actually overwhelming you.

As we are all different, there are options for those who find it easier to define emotions in terms of words, visual images, and even body sensations.

2️⃣ Once you have identified which emotion is overwhelming you, it's time to take some actions to move through that overwhelm.🏄‍♂️🏄‍♀️

In addition, to make it easier for you to understand the whole emotional process, I have built-in a short Video Course into the tool.🎥

For every single step of the process you can watch a short video to get a better understanding of what to do.

How does that sound?

I am just putting some final touches on the Tool, and soon you will be able to register to have a free 30-DAY ACCESS to it to see for yourself how powerful and effective it is.

Dm "Interested", and I will send you the sign-up link when it's ready!

Big hug,

Festive Season Magic is in the air!⛄⛱

Had so much fun doing a cute photoshoot with my girls the other day (check the carousel for more pics).

Was a bit of a challenge to convince them to dress up, as Aussie kids are way too casual in their dressing preferences, but they loved it at the end😊

Which picture is your favourite?

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

May 2021 bring you:

🌟 One step closer to discovering and bringing your passion to life,

🌟 One step closer to people you love the most, and

🌟 One step closer to feeling empowered and confident on your journey.

Sending lots of love from the sunny Land Down Under❤❤❤
