January 2023 - Toni's Healing Room

Interestingly my kids were watching Young Sheldon yesterday and he had a dream that the no 1 and 0 were talking to him about the binary nature of life. Very much like the Taoist beliefs about living in harmony and the idea of opposite forces of yin and yang. Everything exists in life in a balance of opposites, light-dark, male-female, sun-moon, sky-earth, night-day, being-doing, winter-summer, order-chaos, etc. I loved it! Thanks Sheldon, as this is a part of my philosophy and beliefs in life.

This duality in life is what I know to be true, even though I sometimes rally against it. Against the truth that chaos is needed, that suffering exists, that violence, selfishness and hatred are a part of this world and help create a balance and harmony. Without one, we would not know the other, it sucks, but that’s reality. We need to accept it, or we rally forever in this push/pull motion between love and hate, fear and hope. Stuck in angst, conflict and needless suffering, trying to find meaning in it all, as we are prone to do.

I don’t think I’ve written about my spiritual journey before, of course I write about this topic everyday, I just haven’t offered it up as a whole life journey so far. It started when I was a teenager, our way of life just didn’t make sense or give me meaning, I needed more than Catholic Church on Sundays. I needed more than what our popular culture offered, buying the latest and greatest, cheap thrills, competitive sports or another activity to fill my days.

My soul yearned for more, for more meaning. I had to seek it out on my own, as I didn’t know this was what I was missing. I did however, love hanging out with my friends having D & M’s (deep and meaningful conversation) about life and death, I loved studying art and religion, things that gave me a sense of awe and wonder about the nature of reality and life itself. A philosopher at heart.

What I wanted to write about today was my spiritual journey, I started meditating and channeling as a teenager, it was powerful for my young, open mind. My search for meaning found ridiculous old religious dogma, it just didn’t resonate with me, we were living in a new age of scientific invention, technology and exploration, I needed more.

All I knew was that there was more to life than what we see, I felt it. (A true religious or spiritual experience right) I felt the energy of life, the earth, the stars, the people, I felt this invisible energy. Unsatisfied, I searched for meaning, I studied art and traditional chinese medicine, “feel the Chi flowing” they said. So next step, I learnt Reiki, I was BLOWN AWAY!

Learning how to feel and see energy was a trip, the most eye opening journey of my life. Confirming all the things I thought to be true, that there is more to life. That the inner journey is just as important as the outer one. It showed me a place of peace, truth and wisdom within. It took me on journeys of the spirit. To seek guidance. To connect deeply with myself. To create stillness within, and therefore without. That the mind is the body and the body is the mind, we are energy. That we are all connected by our energy. To find deep love for myself. To open my mind and my heart. To find balance and harmony. To free myself.

Reiki energy healing grounds me, it centers and balances me in my body, in my mind, I feel calm. It connects me to myself, deeply, I trust in myself anew and most importantly, I feel love for myself again.

This story wasn’t the end of my journey, only the beginning.

Peace and Love, Toni

A quick note to say ‘THANK YOU’ for being here, I am so grateful for you.

My intention this year is to work on GRATITUDE. I realised I haven’t been very grateful this year as I sat meditating on my intentions for the year ahead.

I complain way too much for my own liking. It is a problem for many of us that we are not grateful. If we spend out time only focusing on our own problems and not think about the suffering or happiness of others, we are in a state of imbalance. It is also a fine line to walk between making a good life for ourselves and doing too much for others.

Being a spiritual, energetic coach you would think I have this down pat. So What is it holding me back? Keeping me stuck? What do I need to let go of in order to move forward? First I ask myself, what is it I want?

I want to feel “Freedom, Peace and Love”. These things lift my spirits. So everything that is not bringing me this is making me cranky. My crankiness is A SIGN – I need to work on myself. There is some thing I need to let go of.

I need to let go of the attachment to my guilt, to my responsibility for others’ health and happiness, then clinging to my own disappointment and resentment when I don’t get what I need. What have I been gaining from holding onto these things?

That I am important? That life is meaningful when I am helping others?

In setting an intention to bring in GRATITUDE, I know that more good things will come my way. That’s how energy works, what you focus on, you attract. To feel gratitude for what I want, like I have it already.

Retrospectively, it has been a hard year for many of us doing this deep, soul healing work, but necessary to go through these dark times. Finding our way back to the light, to shed what is holding us back, no matter how much we are attached to it and don’t want to change, is for our own growth, our own peace and happiness. LET GO. Even if it’s just for a moment, What does it feel like to let the thing go?

In letting go of my guilt, my disappointment and resentment, I feel freedom, peace and love again.

So what is it you want more of this year? Set your intention.

Peace and Love, Toni xx
