The Story of "Me"
Funny how we all feel the need for credentials, "this is my background, this is why you should trust me, this is what I can teach you". What if I told you this is simply an exploration that we can do together, just for fun?
The Inward Journey
My story is a common one, corporate career, marriage, motherhood. Left my career to "find myself" and built a Reiki teaching business spanning 30 years. If you like credentials please check those out here! Along the way I discovered nonduality, Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Adyashanti, Angelo DiLullo and many others. I found myself unlearning more and more until no spiritual practice made sense anymore. The story of "me" and what I actually am are two completely different things.
I still honour and hold sacred my Reiki practice and many other tools I have learnt to sooth the body/mind. But the truth of our being needs no technique apart from inquiry, being still and deep looking. Some would say even that is not necessary, and I have to agree.
With years of spiritual seeking, personal growth, path following, and modality jumping, I would say I am a classic ex-spiritual junkie. Ironically, in the weariness and disillusionment, I found what I was looking for.
Creating an Excuse
We can all sit and just be, but it's surprisingly hard and thoughts come in thick and fast. I help hold space for the stopping to take place through organised hours, days and longer retreats into nothingness. Space to do nothing but listen, watch, and observe sensation. Mindfulness without agenda, an excuse to just be.
