Self Reflections

Self Reflections Self Reflections is the home of energy enhancing wellness. https://selfreflectionshea.wixsite.com/selfreflections I am an Energy Enhancing Facilitator.

I started my healing journey in 2000 when faced with a severe health issue which manifested a period of 7 weeks of silence & stillness for me. During this challenging period of my life I lost the gift of speech, something which revealed itself to me as an aspect so often take for granted by many!!! Unable to communicate with the outer world left me only one other choice - turning to the mystery of my inner world. Connecting with my higher-self, the wonderful aspect of me I had really never gotten to know before. During this period I learnt to listen to the wisdom which had laid un-noticed within, I learnt to listen to the profound silence which had all the answers I had ever seeked, I leant to trust and follow the guiding voice of my inner self. I connected with the ultimate voice of my mind my heart, my soul. I connected to the messages that had laid dormant within, the light of my multi-dimensional being - all being the first step of my spiritual journey, the step that led me to where I am today. Nothing happens in life without reason and even though we don’t always understand why things do happen, contained within every struggle, every challenge is a lesson. Is every step a soul evolution. My lesson I came to learn, was that I became aware that we are so much bigger and more powerful than our physical existence. I came to understand that we are 99.999 % energy beings, so much more than our perception of being mostly physical form. I learnt that going inward is the only way of finding true purpose and authenticity for anyone. I learnt that to be able to live a true aligned life we need to dive into the feared abyss of our so called “shadow” self. Something I also learnt is so very valuable!

… and so it was that I followed my internal guidance and landed up journeying through almost three years of intense inner work …

I faced my hidden self and admittedly it was was no walk in the park for the more I worked on self the more stuff seemed to surface. Like an onion I peeled off layer upon layer. Shedding, shifting and diving deeper I found myself on a road I had never envisioned travelling on ! During these three years I met many great teachers. Each one taught me something different, each one gifted me a new tool. Each played a very important and meaningful role in where I am today. My spiritual teachers, energy healing facilitators, mentors, Masters, loved ones & friends were the golden keys which helped me unlock the doors I encountered along my journey - they helped me unlock ‘me’ on a very deep level. They were my healing and I am eternally grateful to each and everyone one of them. Most still active in my life today others remembered always. It was not an easy road to travel but the end result has been phenomenal not only to me but to everyone I in turn work with today. This challenging time in my life was needed to help me open to my GIFTS I did not then realize I had,
(Although honestly speaking in hind sight I should have known, for my gift has been passed down through many generations, lifetimes and incarnations)

I was taught through the challenging & often difficult inner work that I was a human with an actual PURPOSE. I learnt that WE all have more reason & purpose to be than simply living a mundane life of no value. My PURPOSE in this incarnation is to heal the planet and it’s human and animal co-inhibitors. My purpose is to share my gift with many, to change polarities, to restore harmony, to shift energy, to balance & align, to teach and serve humanity & the PLANET with honor and respect and pride. My purpose I learnt is to live a life filled with integrity, authenticity and play my role in changing the world into a better place for all. And so it was that I started to put myself out there to serve as an energy healing facilitator. I started doing what I love and what universe had intended for me to do. I founded Self Reflections in 2003. I have not ever looked back, I have never stopped serving, I have never stopped growing - I
can never stop, this is my PURPOSE. Of course I have taken a few breaks here and there but my PURPOSE is to serve, and serve I have done, and serve I shall continue do. I have been truly blessed to learn in order to teach and today I find it is my turn to rejoice through the gratification of the work that I do. It is my turn to help others who search for their own authenticity and purpose. I rejoice in gratitude when I see the fruits of my work unravel gifts for a hundred others. Through my own challenge I found my PURPOSE and through the ability of helping others I have given birth to Self Reflections. In the comfort of my beautiful space I offer numerous ENERGY HEALING MODALITIES all of which will help enrich the lives of all who commit to finding PURPOSE and PEACE. Do it, it’s worth it! Love, Light & Blessings

Time although perceived to be real is nothing but an illusion, other dimensions do not run on time.

So, the best way to incorporate higher dimensions is to ground yourself deeply in the now.

The present moment is the only reality that exists, learn to live moment by moment, breath by breath.

In the last two decades as practioner I have come to understand through witnessing that time does not heal all wounds, it just gives them space to sink deeper into the subconscious, where they continue to impact emotions and behaviors.

What does heal is going inward, understanding the root of the wound, loving yourself through the process.
Accepting yourself and your stories with forgiveness, and listening to your own needs.
Addressing your attachments, releasing the cords, and shifting beliefs.
Recognizing your emotional history, learning how to let go with love.
Facing fears unconditionally, and following the guidance of your intuition and the light of Source with trust.

Here's a little food for thought on this day.

"Everything that you are now is created by your past."
Read that again S.L.O.W.L.Y

Your experiences moulds and defines you, and your history is the reason you are the person you are today.

That includes all of the good bits ❤️... and the damaged bits too❤️‍🩹.

Damage from the past can weigh heavily on your emotions, making it seem impossible to move forward, develop healthy relationships, and enjoy true happiness.

You may not even be aware of how much the past is affecting you... yet feel an invisible dark shadow looming over your daily life. Feel that you put one foot forward, and slide 3 backward …. often, always.

Now this subconscious emotional burden you are carrying can and does keep you in poor health, in grief, in poverty, and in pain.
In repetitive cycles in life.
In poor relationships, which include relationships with self.

IT. IS. TIME. TO. HEAL. IT. IS. TIME. TO REWRITE. YOUR. STORY. IT. IS. TIME. TO. RELEASE. THE. ISSUE. FROM. THE. TISSUE.
ASK. ME. HOW.

Always show up even if showing up is not always easy ~ the presence of your breath moves mountains in unseen realms.

Your courage shifts timelines and brings great healing.

Your grace makes the Universe proud and your Soul expand.

Keep walking, keep doing the right thing because you are rewriting your reality ✨

The human body has a morphic feild which emits from the heart.
This field is like an energetic blueprint that shapes and organizes living systems ~ from cells and organs to habits, relationships, and even collective memory.

It’s what holds patterns of behavior, form, and resonance and this frequency gives and receives vital information for the body with other humans within a 1.8m radius of their field whilst we are alive.

When the body dies, the biological system that anchors the morphic field dissolves. What happens next depends on perspective.

The Scientific view (Sheldrake’s angle) states that
the individual morphic field loses its “local anchor” (the body) and dissipates into larger, collective fields upon death.
In other words, the patterns you carried don’t vanish, they just ripple into the greater human and universal morphic resonance.

The Spiritual view can be linked to traditions which describe the morphic field as carrying the essence of the soul’s journey.
At death, this field withdraws from the physical and transitions into subtler dimensions ~ like the astral or causal bodies.

Therefore what you’ve cultivated (love, wisdom, fears, unresolved energies) shall continue as part of your soul’s frequency. It shall inform the next stage of your journey, whether that’s returning to Source, reincarnating, or existing in other realms.

What’s important despite perspective, is that nothing you’ve lived is wasted.
Every thought, action, and vibration you’ve embodied strengthens the resonance in the collective field, influencing those still alive and those yet to come.

So in general the morphic field doesn’t “end” ~ it transforms.
The personal dissolves into the collective, while the soul’s signature continues beyond the body, always carrying its unique imprint into new states of being.

Now let’s look at life & death, this magical dance which both holds the imprints of your morphic field.

For me to live is to breathe deeply into the present moment, to honor the beauty, the ache, and the fleeting nature of all.

To die is to return, to release what you’ve carried, and to dissolve back into the great mystery.
And life itself is the thread that weaves them both together, like a great reminder that each sunrise is borrowed, each embrace is sacred, each heartbeat is finite yet infinite and all that you experience is continuous.

When you remember this, you shall then also stop waiting for the “right” moment in life ~ you will begin living in the now but more gently, more courageously, more truthfully, more consciously.

For after all in the end, it is not the length of your days that matters, but the depth of your living within them because it is understood that each moment will imprint you into your morphic field which continues into infinity …. !

Out of all the lives you have lived ~ gifted, powerful, and challenging ones ~ this is the life where you remember: Your light. Your power. Your purpose in these times of massive transformation.

You are the one who brings all forgotten soul parts back together.
The one who reactivates ancient wisdom and gifts.
The one who, through your healing, supports the healing of others.
The one who cuts cords of karmic cycles.
You are the one who reunites them all ~ the many parts of your magnificent soul.

And with that, you uplift the collective.
That's truly how powerful you are.

Everything is in the dream of mind
the ugly and the beautiful
the dense and the holy

Even the sense of awakening
is just another story

The mind judges, interprets,
measures progress, counts knowledge
imagines going somewhere

It’s all part of the dream

The dream ends
when the dreamer vanishes
only existence remains.

Every time you choose to invest in yourself, your growth, your healing, and your spirit with openness and without resistance, you are declaring to the Universe:
I am worthy. I am ready. I trust 💫

And in return, it flows back to you as clarity, peace, opportunities, alignment, and abundance.

Trust the flow.
Trust yourself.
Trust that what you give always returns multiplied.

The Ten Universal Laws

LAW OF DIVINE ONNENSS
Everything is connected; every thought, action, and event influences the whole.
LAW OF VIBRATION

Everything is energy in constant motion, resonating at its own frequency.

LAW OF CORRESPONDENCE
"As above, so below; as within, so without." Outer world mirrors inner world.

LAW OF ATTRACTION
Like attracts like; focus draws matching experiences.

LAW OF INSPIRED ACTION
Aligned action is required to manifest intentions.

LAW OF PERPETUAL TRANSMUTATION
OF ENERGY
Energy constantly changes form; you can transform your life by shifting your vibration.

LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT
Every action has a corresponding reaction, seen or unseen.

LAW OF COMPENSATION
You receive according to what you give in thought, energy, and action.

LAW OF RELATIVITY
All things are neutral until compared: challenges are opportunities for growth.

Today, September 6th is a big date because Uranus ‘the great awakener or planet aligned to a wake-up calls’ stations retrograde in Gemini.

readers note:
~ a retrograde is when a planet appears to move backward, inviting us to pause, reflect, and realign with its lessons ~

~ Gemini is the sign of curious communication, quick-minded, adaptable, playful, and Gemini is always seeking variety, connection, and fresh ideas.
In shadow however, Gemini may bring up scattered energy, overthinking, restlessness, and the possibility of saying more and listening less ~

Uranus will remain in its retrograde placing until February 3rd, 2026 and during this period it will be pushing us to transcend beyond self-imposed boundaries and those open door prisons.

This period of retrograde may bring chaos for a while but the chaos is literally the light that shine on something better, the light at the end of the tunnel.
It’s like the bitter-sweet or the pleasure in the pain.

As a planet Uranus symbolizes revolution, rebellion, innovation, and sudden change.
Uranus will vacillate unexpectedly between breakdown and breakthrough, ups and downs, feast and famine, and will bring to consciousness the things that we have been afraid to admit to ourselves but that we need to confront.

It is the planet that gives us the strength to break free from restrictions, limitations. Uranus totally challenges the status quo.

It encourages nonconformity, originality, which aligns us back to our uniqueness and individuality and by the time Uranus turns direct in 2027 we would have broken free and will be ready to go after what we truly desire.

Whilst in its retrograde placing it will create ✨great awakenings, jolts us back to that sense of knowing & intuition.
It will bring enlightenment, and will expand our ability to see beyond the ordinary in reality and past its stagnancy.

It will liberate us from the ties that bind, offer opportunities to truly decide what we want to let go of and what we truly desire to hold to, it will show us if something is or isn’t of value for the future.

This planet in retrograde offers us a chance to reassert, to bring in fresh, exciting experiences back to ourselves. Some of which may meet us unexpectedly or by surprise, the bitter & the sweet.

On a greater global level, Uranus in retrograde may also bring in some alarming or less pleasant situations especially in relation to transportation, communication and how our words are carried and understood.

Over the past week there have been moments of failed communications, even accidents involving cars and other method of transportation and my invitation around this topic is to remain mindful and when engaging in communications or whilst out and about through your days.

Then tomorrow., Sunday 7th we will also experience a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse which may further present experiences to awaken us, inspire us, and help us align deeper to our emotions.

Over this period of lunar eclipses and retrogrades you may be left feeling somewhat depleted, because this season is known to create sleep interruptions and out of whack sleep patterns.

For the dreamer, remember that your dreams are about to become shorter and for the rest of us, be prepared for your energy to be somewhat scattered!

If you can look into what house of your natal chart Uranus will have most influence for you.

For me Uranus is in Libra in the 7th house which may bring unconventional togethernes, and positive change, freedom-loving energy & harmony to my relationships.

One needs to stay calm and centered to see that every problem comes with a solution. Everything is fixable if handled correctly.

Panic blurs vision, fear prevents from doing what you need to do, and stress allows a future to be created with wrong thoughts.

Staying calm ~ even through the toughest times ~ will help create the future in the best possible way.

Your imagination was once wild, free and magical.

Deep in your heart you believed that anything was possible. Then you grew older and were told to live in the "real world".

You were told to take sensible action, to be responsible and learn facts and figures instead of dwelling in daydreams.
You were led to believe that hard work was the only way to get results.

This thinking cut you off from your magic and blocked you from using one of your most powerful manifesting tools.

Return to your childlike mind that was full of wonder and to your belief in magic and miracles.

Instead of being limited by reason, allow yourself to fly high into possibility and believe you can be, do and have anything.

If you can see it happening in your mind, it can become real in the physical.

Spend time each day to powerfully dream of what you want.

Let your imagination activate feelings of joy, delight, gratitude, amazement and surprise... as if your wildest dreams have already come true.

I am an energy healing therapist. I started my spiritual journey in 2000 when I was faced with an health issue.

During that difficult time in my life I lost the ability to talk . Unable to communicate for a period of time I turned inward and this is where I connected to the guiding voices in my mind and the messages contained within the pulse of my soul- they have led me to where I am today.

My lesson back then was that I knew I was bigger than my actual existence. I knew I was more than my reality. I knew then that I had to go inward to find my true purpose. We all do!

And so it was that I followed my internal guidance and landed up doing over two years of intense inner work on myself. This I must say, was a road I had not envisioned travelling upon.
