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

Listen, my child : every life is sacred — the lives of those who walk on two legs, like us
Those who walk on four
Those who have wings and make their home in the air
And all the green things that grow, breathe, and are rooted, as we are.
For we are all children of the same Mother and the same Spirit.”

YOU ARE THE ONE WHO BREAKS THE CYCLE

You are not here to repeat what was…
you are here to END what no longer serves and BEGIN what never existed before.

You carry a power your ancestors could only dream of…
the courage they had to suppress…
the voice they were never allowed to use…
the truth they buried just to survive.

And now here YOU are…

Not by accident.
Not by chance.
But by design.

You are the shift.
You are the healing.
You are the new beginning.

Every step you take in alignment…
every boundary you set…
every time you choose growth over comfort…
you are rewriting the destiny of your entire bloodline.

This isn’t just your life…
this is a timeline collapse and rebirth happening through YOU.

So don’t follow in your ancestors’ footsteps…
RAISE THEM.

Elevate what they started.
Heal what they couldn’t.
Transform the pain into power.

Because you are not the continuation of the past…
you are the evolution of it.

You are the one they whispered about in spirit…
the one they prayed would come…
the one strong enough to say:

“It ends with me.”

And just as powerfully… “It begins with me.”

You are the generational curse breaker.
You are the golden light in human form.
You are the living proof that the cycle can be broken.

Walk boldly.
Move with purpose.
Stand in your truth unapologetically.

Because your ancestors aren’t just behind you…

They’re rising WITH YOU.

And when you fully step into who you came here to be…
when you stop shrinking, stop doubting, and start owning your power…

You won’t just change your life…

You will shift entire timelines.
You will heal generations forward and backward.
You will become the moment everything finally turns in your bloodline’s favor.

This is your era.
This is your calling.

And this… is where EVERYTHING changes.

One of the greatest spiritual disciplines in life is learning what to do when we see the faults of others. The easiest path is to focus outward, to notice another person’s weakness, to dwell on their shortcomings, or to let their words and actions disturb our inner peace.

But the wiser path is the one that turns inward. Whenever we recognize a fault in someone else, we are being allowed to ask a more important question: What within myself still needs correction, healing, or refinement? In this way, the fault we see in another person becomes not a reason for judgment, but a call to self-examination.

This teaching invites us to live with humility. It reminds us that none of us is complete or has reached perfection. We are all walking a path of growth. If we spend our energy measuring others' imperfections, we delay our own transformation.

But if we use every trial, every irritation, and every disappointment as a mirror for our own development, then even difficult experiences become gifts. The harsh word, the unfair action, the misunderstanding, each of these can become a teacher if we respond with reflection rather than blame.

To live this way requires discipline of the heart. It means refusing to let resentment take root. It means not allowing the ego to feed on comparison or superiority. Instead, it asks us to become students of our own character.

When someone’s behavior troubles us, we pause and look within: Am I patient enough? Am I kind enough? Am I carrying pride, anger, impatience, or woundedness that still needs to be transformed? This is the beginning of real spiritual maturity, because it shifts our focus from controlling others to purifying ourselves.

There is also great freedom in this approach. Those who constantly dwell on the faults of others often become heavy in spirit, burdened by criticism, disappointment, and judgment. But those who are sincerely engaged in their own growth have little room left to condemn anyone else.

Their energy is directed toward becoming better, truer, and more loving human beings. As this happens, compassion naturally grows. We begin to understand that others, too, are struggling, learning, failing, and trying in their own ways. This understanding softens the heart and makes forgiveness more possible.

To overcome oneself is one of the deepest victories a human being can achieve. It is not a dramatic victory over another person, but a quiet and sacred victory within. It is the gradual overcoming of pride, selfishness, blame, and harsh judgment.

It is the decision, again and again, to return to humility, patience, and self-responsibility. Each time we do this, we grow stronger in spirit. Each time we choose reflection over criticism, we become a little more whole.

In the end, this teaching is not simply about avoiding fault-finding. It is about transformation. It is about becoming the kind of person whose first response to difficulty is not accusation, but introspection; not condemnation, but growth.

If we practice this faithfully, then trials will no longer merely wound us; they will refine us. We will become more peaceful, more patient, and more compassionate. And in that process, we will help heal the larger circle of human relationships, beginning with the one place where all true healing begins: within ourselves.

Let’s look at Easter through the lens of the planets and the collective field.

This is not an ordinary weekend.
It carries the frequency of Easter — and with it, a deep collective wound around sacrifice and betrayal.

On Friday, the Moon moved through Scorpio, forming a T-square:
opposing Venus in Ta**us, both squaring Pluto in Aquarius.

In simple terms?
The energy is intense, revealing, and impossible to ignore.

The Moon in Scorpio illuminates what sits beneath the surface —
the hidden, the suppressed, the pain we pretend is not there.

Venus in Ta**us reminds us of what we truly long for —
simplicity, peace, grounding…
the quiet joy of just being, and receiving life as it is.

And yet, both are in tension with Pluto in Aquarius —
a force that is returning power back to us.

A reminder:
the only way to heal the wound is to face it, feel it, and move through it.

Alongside this, we have the rare Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries,
aligned with Gene Key 25 — the Gate of Universal Love.

This marks the beginning of a new story.
Much like the resurrection energy we associate with Easter.

As Richard Rudd shares:
“The blood of Christ represents the absolute acceptance of suffering…
It is our unacceptance of suffering that makes us seek —
and eventually we realise that our seeking is rooted in avoiding our wound.”

Aries energy does not allow avoidance.
It asks for courage.

This month, we are being called to face what needs healing —
to walk directly through it, not around it.

We are invited to accept what is unfolding within us and around us.
To feel what we feel.
To honour what we’ve lost.
To acknowledge what we are grieving.

And equally —
to receive love, grace, and blessings without resistance.

Saturn has also shifted into a new Gene Key — 17 —
opening the pathway of the inner vision,
activating the brow,
inviting us to see beyond the illusion.

This is a time of both deep truth and deep love.

Happy Easter 🤍

02/04/2026

Mycelium, or mycorrhiza, is a fungus that expands underground, creating a network of connections between all plant species — something like the internet in our reality.

This allows plants of all species not only to communicate, but also to care for themselves, protect one another, and share nutrients — primarily water.

When a tree is cut down, this mycelium communicates to many other trees in the area that one of them is dying. Through this network, the surrounding trees begin to support the remaining trunk, attempting to sustain its life.

They feed it with water and protect it because that dying trunk is part of the family.
Often, that tree begins to revive — fresh new shoots emerging from what once seemed lost.

Everything on this living planet has a language. It is a universal language.
But humans have, in many ways, lost the ability to understand and communicate through it — often due to our fixation on self, survival, material pursuit, and a separation from the heart.

It is my belief that as we evolve into higher awareness and reconnect with this non-verbal language — remembering that we are all part of the same oneness — peace can begin to return to this planet.

Sadly, as a species, we still have a long way to go. There is so much to learn from ourselves, from the trees, from the unity of nature, and above all, from Mother Earth — and from the animals, who still live in this language of connection.

I believe that if there is to be peace in the world,
there must first be peace among nations and all living beings — just as peace exists within nature.

If there is to be peace among nations and all living beings, there must be peace within cities and communities.

If there is to be peace within cities and communities, there must be peace among neighbours, family, and friends —
for connection is the foundation of all harmony.

If there is to be peace among neighbours, family, and friends, there must be peace at home.

And if there is to be peace at home,
there must be peace within the heart of every person who lives there — for it is through the heart that relationships are formed and unity exists.

So, as I understand it…
there must be a bond between all — beginning with our own bond to self and to our own hearts.

Just like the mycelium — the quiet, compassionate network beneath our feet — creating unseen connections, support, and life between all living things.

With love on this Thursday,
I invite you to learn from the world around you.

If change is to come to this planet,
it must first be born within your own home,
within your own heart — because that’s the only way in which it can flow outward into the world.

01/04/2026

The Full Moon in Libra is here, and many may already be feeling that this is not a light threshold.
It carries the kind of light that brings things into view more clearly.
Not only what feels beautiful or hopeful, but what is truly balanced and what is not.
What is mutual and what is not.
What supports peace and what only looks like peace until the pressure rises.

This is why this Full Moon feels significant.
Libra is the sign of balance, relationship, reciprocity, harmony, and right proportion.
But a Full Moon does not only illuminate these things. It also exposes where they are missing.

For many, this may feel less like outer drama and more like inner clarity.
A stronger awareness of where your energy is met and where it is not.
Where your heart relaxes and where it braces.
Where you have been overgiving, over-accommodating, or holding a version of peace that quietly costs too much.

This is often how a Libra Full Moon works.
It places the mirror closer and asks a very simple question:
is this truly balanced, or have you only learned how to carry the imbalance well?

And this Full Moon arrives as April opens in a 4 frequency month, giving the whole passage more weight.
March moved a lot. It stirred, surfaced, accelerated, and revealed.
But April begins asking what can actually hold.
What is stable enough, honest enough, and grounded enough to be built on.

A 4 month brings structure, discipline, practicality, and stronger foundations.

So as the light of Libra reveals the truth in your exchange, April asks what you are now ready to organize, strengthen, and live more deliberately.
Not everything that stirred in March is meant to continue in the same form.
Some things are being clarified. Some are being strengthened. Some may need to end.
And some may finally be ready to become real.

There is also another layer building beneath this opening.
The 4/4 portal approaches, carrying a more grounded, choice-based energy.
So this Full Moon may not only be showing what is out of balance —
it may be preparing you to choose more clearly what deserves your time, your devotion, your structure, and your steady care.

If certain truths feel clearer now, trust that.

April is not opening as a vague new beginning.
It is opening as a month that asks for stronger roots, clearer choices, and a more honest way forward.

Have a wonderful April.
With Love

Venus has returned home to Ta**us (30 March 2026), and within days, the Full Moon in Libra rises (1 April 2026).

Together, these movements create a powerful inner alignment — a recalibration of self-worth that naturally begins to draw in love, beauty, and compassion as reflections of the self.

Venus, at home in Ta**us, is steady, embodied, and certain.
Her return — which happens roughly once a year — invites us back to what is real, what is lasting, and what is truly worth building.

Not only in love…
but in our relationship with ourselves, our values, and what we allow into our lives.

As ruler of Ta**us, Venus governs worth, money, stability, and pleasure.
How this unfolds will be unique to each individual chart — but collectively, her homecoming initiates a cycle throughout April centered on:
• Reconnecting with self-worth
• Redefining our relationship with beauty
• Expanding our ability to receive — emotionally and materially

There is a quiet stabilisation of energy now.
A grounding.

We are gently guided toward experiences, environments, and connections that feel deeply aligned — not rushed, not forced, but right.

And as we soften into this frequency…
we begin to magnetise:
• More meaningful relationships
• Opportunities for financial expansion
• A deeper, embodied sense of abundance

This unfolding may not be linear.

There may be moments of intensity — of truth.
Emotions may deepen.
Hidden patterns may rise to the surface to be seen, felt, and released.

And then…
moments of alignment.

Encounters that feel fated.
Openings that feel guided.
Connections and opportunities that meet us at a deeper level of purpose.

This is the shift:

When we begin to trust what we feel — without seeking external validation…
When we anchor into our own worth…

Everything that reflects that frequency begins to meet us. Love. Abundance. Beauty.

Then, on 1 April 2026, the Full Moon in Libra (12°) brings this into sharp awareness through our relationships.

It illuminates what is real…
and what has been maintained out of habit, comfort, or emotional attachment.

This ‘Pink’ Full Moon marks a seasonal shift — spring in the Northern Hemisphere, autumn in the Southern — a noticeable change in our emotional landscape.

Across the axis, Aries — influenced by Saturn — brings karmic truth into focus.
It asks for responsibility in love.
For clarity.
For conscious decisions moving forward.

Libra, ruled by Venus, reveals the truth of connection.

It asks us to look beyond surface harmony…
and recognise what is genuinely aligned with the heart 🤍

To notice:
• Where we have overgiven
• Where we have adjusted our worth to maintain connection
• Where we have stayed simply because it felt familiar

This Moon makes one thing unmistakably clear:

There is a difference between love that expands us…and love that asks us to stay small.
And here — we are asked to choose.

This becomes a turning point into self-respect and conscious alignment.
Because divine union begins within. It begins with us.

And as we fully choose ourselves…
we begin to close karmic cycles that no longer resonate.

We open into a new internal cycle —
one that calls in relationships that are clear, mutual, and aligned.

Where love is no longer confusing…
but deeply understood.

What you’re feeling isn’t random — it’s information.

🌊 Water is like the blood of the Earth.
Rivers and streams move like veins and arteries, maintaining the cycle of the ecosystem.

Water relates to our emotions — to the flow of life.

💨 Wind is like the breath of the Earth.
Forests form its lungs, allowing that breath to move in and out, pure and clear.

Wind carries, shifts, and cleanses.

⛰ Rocks, stones, and mountains form the skeleton of the Earth — giving it strength, stability, and form.

They ground us when our emotions run deep.
They hold us when we feel unsteady.

🔥 Fire and magma within the Earth act as its digestive force — processing and transforming what is taken in.

Fire clears, fuels, and ignites.
It is both our inner drive and our emotional intensity.

The Earth is held within an electromagnetic field — just as the human body is.

In the body, this field works closely with the nervous system — supporting how we process, respond, and regulate.

When our elements are out of balance —
when emotions flood (water),
when the mind races (wind),
when we feel ungrounded (earth),
or when intensity runs too high (fire) —
our system can begin to feel overwhelmed.

Consider your body as its own small planet —
and the Earth as a larger living organism reflecting the same intelligence.

To maintain balance, all four elements within us need attention and regulation.
And just like the Earth, your field matters.

A well-supported, steady field helps reduce overwhelm, supports emotional balance, and allows the system to function more harmoniously.

If you feel called to explore this deeper —
whether through understanding & measuring your energy field, strengthening your boundaries, or supporting your system — you’re welcome to reach out.

Your field is not separate from you — it responds to you.

24/03/2026

We have entered a rare 6-week portal with zero planets in retrograde.
We are still integrating the fiery Aries energy — yet no planet is asking you to slow down, review, or reconsider.

Forward motion is here.

Your intuition is heightened, and your thoughts have become your lighthouse — your guidance.
Listen closely… this is your highest path speaking.

This is pure momentum energy.

Old patterns are dissolving, making space for truth, compassion, and higher wisdom.

If something has been stuck, it is about to move.
If something has been unclear, it is about to make sense.
If something has been delayed, it is about to arrive.

Speak with intention… your words carry frequency.
What you say is a seed.

Unconditional love, compassion, understanding, and acceptance lead the way.
Stay open, soften, and let your heart resonance guide your journey.

You are being grounded into:
– alignments
– soul partnerships
– supportive structures forming to hold your mission

What once felt uncertain is now taking shape.

More blessings instead of painful lessons.
Forward progress in areas that have been frozen.
Instant responses from the Universe to your intentions.
Faster manifestations with less resistance.
The sense that an internal chapter has finally, fully closed.
Feeling life flowing with you instead of against you.

Trust what you are receiving.
Move forward from the 🩷.

Your mission is unfolding through you now.

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.
