It All begins with an idea
“You can make a difference. You can”.
Those words have resonated in my heart for
what seems like forever. Has it been the same for you?
Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s I’ve always been drawn to Elvis, the Rock’n’roll era, Solid Gold Hits and the Bee Gees. I’ve many happy nostalgic memories of the record player spinning like a shiny plate of licorice in the warmth of our lounge, belting out snazzy beats as I grooved my way through my youth.
“You can make a difference. You can”.
When and where I first became aware of this phrase, I don’t actually know. But it has been an incessant sub-conscious beat over the years that, at times I’ve ignored, until it played continuously, growing louder, until I knew it was time to listen to my inner calling.
You see, I’ve always had a fascination with the energetics of anything - of our natural world, of a room, of people, of our cats, a bee, a tree, an apple blossom - anything. Based very much on how things ‘feel’ and what feels like ‘harmony’ and what feels like ‘disharmony’. I always knew that the core of us was spiritual in nature, and that our human-ness sometimes creates a sort of amnesia of the self, often causing us to forget who we really are. We can literally stumble around, feeling ‘lost’ and not know where our true North star is.
It took something like 30 years for me to find my ‘true’ pathway and yet when I look back I was on it all along, as with each experience, jobs, relationships, friendships, new places to live etc. was adding to the richness of my life that would give me a solid basis of learnings and understandings. Even those times of feeling ‘lost’ or ‘unsure’ was actually all about me finding myself and working on my inner-confidence, and yet I didn’t know it at the time.
My decision to leave an amazing well-paid University job with an incredible team, to pursue a new pathway to work energetically with people and animals felt uniquely blessed. After 22 years, and listening to the call, that I could make a "difference” in a completely new way, I knew it was time to change.
My calling has led me to devoting my life to helping people energetically, to remember who they are. To help them to come home to themselves, through reconnection of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual elements. By embracing their human-ness and their inner connection with self, through the modalities of Reiki and Healing Touch.
“You can make a difference. You can”.
If you have a calling, a dream, desire, or dharma to fulfil, let your heart guide you and your mind will follow. I can’t say that it will always be smooth sailing, because it won’t, but then a smooth sea, never makes for a good sailor anyway. So ride those waves and pull in the sails when needed and find calm bays to rest in for a while.
“You can make a difference. You can”.
Ahhhh, that familiar melodic verse again. Reminding us that we are so much more, then what we perceive ourselves to be.
