Why would you be lucky if the healing’s never done? Because, for most people, healing is the fastest way to accelerate spiritual awakening! That’s because of the Great Onion of Consciousness. Your radiant higher self is at the core, surrounded by layers of unhealed pain and trauma. Each time you peel off one of these layers, it exposes more of your divine self — which deepens your awakening! In this 14-minute video, I illustrate my points with tales of my own healing and awakening journey. I also discuss the “slingshot effect.” This explains why the most challenging traumas, once healed, result in the biggest spiritual breakthroughs. And I mention my free Healing Invocation, which can make your healing much faster and easier by delegating it to your higher self! Read more…

Amanda Kate: “Divine. Messy. Human.” Awaken, Heal and Thrive! Podcast #23
In this very special episode, I’m honored to interview the extraordinary human being known as Amanda Kate. She’s the author of the wonderful book “Divine. Messy. Human. A Spiritual Guide to Prioritising Internal Truth over External Influence.” She’s also a kinesiologist, mentor, archetypal life coach, mother and much more. Highlights of this fascinating 64-minute interview with Amanda include: How insights gained from her agonizing decision to end a toxic marriage – and realizing how much abuse she had suffered – changed her self-perception from “fundamentally flawed” to “fundamentally human.” How kinesiology succeeded when western medicine failed to cure serious physical and mental challenges – inspiring her to help others heal by becoming a kinesiologist herself! Moving past religious intermediaries to experience the God within you. The positive role of anger to expose boundary violations – especially for women. Why it’s so important to complete and release our stress responses. Using emotional fluency to identify and befriend all your emotions. When to shift a challenging emotion, and when to sit with it. How the truth has 144 sides. “Wholing” vs healing. How your troublesome wounded parts are actually trying to help you. Amanda’s favorite technique to regain your calm center. (It’s so simple!) The critical importance of being “of service to,” rather than “in service to.” Why serving and loving ourselves empowers us to optimally serve and love others. Understanding self-love as a skill that can be strengthened – and how it can be gritty, hard, and firm in setting and enforcing boundaries. Why your “comfort zone” is better understood as your “known zone.” How to stay alert to the many ways your internal guidance can nudge you onto the best path, and How shadow work can help you embody the light that you really are. This conversation is loaded with life-transforming insights. Enjoy! Read more…
