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
Imagine being open to the idea of magic!
That when you believe in something… Magic Happens!
Do you believe you are powerful, free to be you, to speak your truth, to walk the path you truly desire. You need to believe it, to feel it, for it to manifest.
Believe in a feeling of peace and calm in your body and mind. That you are confident to walk this life you’ve chosen for yourself. That you are fully connected to yourself, soulfully aligned to trust again.
Trust and believe in yourself, in life, your journey, and the universe.
Believe in the beauty of magic happening!
To free yourself…. Free from the overwhelm, the chaos and confusion.
What have you been thinking and believing, what have you been manifesting?
Freedom!? Abundance? Love? or something else?
Freedom from our thoughts, our expectations of what life should be, how we should be, and where we should be right now, compared to our own dreams of the future is an important concept to contemplate when we want to manifest or magic up what we want.
Imagine being free from the constraints of this human vessel, our pain, free from our vision of the best version of ourselves that we aren’t living up to, freedom from bad shi..t happening, freedom from a world where people suffer.
This journey is a challenge, it is your adventure. What challenge can you face and overcome today, in each moment? Can you make decisions, or are you stuck in conflict with yourself?
When we find ourselves stuck in negative thought loops, stuck in pain, or illness, there is something we are not facing. What is it?
What decision are you not making, or making that is keeping you stuck in this inner turmoil? Can you face the challenge, meet your opponent face to face and see what it is you haven’t been able to see?
The opponent is yourself, always. The unconscious mind does what it does to keep you safe, to stop you from getting hurt, taking risks. But what does that get you except the same thing. For if nothing changes, nothing changes right?
What internal shift could you make to help you see the situation differently? If you were able to do this, would you want to?
That is the question that really keeps you stuck, you don’t want to change, it’s scary, it’s hard, you’ll be vulnerable. It’s actually inevitable, for if you don’t face yourself, own your story, be authentically you, you will remain stuck in this cycle until change is forced upon you, and that might be harder than choosing for yourself.
Find the freedom you crave, take a healing journey with me to Free Your Inner Spirit.
Imagine if you let go of all that, how would you feel about yourself, how would your life look.
Imagine being open to trust, yourself, the universe, and letting love flow in and out…
Imagine being open to the mystery and magic of life…
Imagine where that might take you…
When there is fear, worry, and tension, we are shut down, closed off, we cannot see ahead, we do not let freedom, love, abundance or magic in. We get stuck here.
Let me be your guide to feeling free and flowing….
The journey of healing, of letting go of old ways and stepping into the new, is a whole new adventure of
Exploration, Empowerment & Evolution.
Choose to believe in you and magic will happen!
Peace and Love, Toni xx
