Are you noticing there’s a lot of FEISTY energy around at the moment? You know, that frustrated, agitated, slightly moody but not pissed off, worked-up but not downright angry stuff. I’ve noticed it around and also in the clients I support.
What I notice then is the judgment that comes up about being feisty!
“I’m spiritual and am not meant to be feeling anything other than peace!”
or “I shouldn’t be getting annoyed here but… (inferring that they are above that, or should be beyond it by now!)”
What’s so is that ‘feisty’ in itself isn’t a bad thing, or to be squashed or avoided. In fact I see it as absolutely necessary as you move towards birthing a new expression of yourself into the world. Whether that is a new art piece, a new business idea, a new way of being in the world. It’s about how you funnel your feisty that really counts. When you funnel your feisty, you are using that powerful creative energy and tension towards what you are being invited to bring out in the world.
This is a critical time to STOP and get present to what you are feeling. Notice what is happening around you…what is capturing your attention? what is inspiring you? where’s the animation in the room so to speak.
When you drop your judgment of the so called negative thoughts and emotions, you stop pushing it away and instead you practice self-reflection and ask what is this feistiness pointing towards in your life.
The very thing that is pushing our buttons and creating all this feistiness CONTAINS INSIGHT FOR YOU. It would be a shame to keep ignoring it or continue to relieve the tension. When you learn to harness that tension, that creative energy, powerful stuff happens.
If you are Mr or Mrs Feisty right now and would like to understand more about how to work with your feisty energy, then contact me to see how I can partner with you to bring focus and insight to what you are experiencing.

Are you ready to shift your context in 2015, from the old, habitual one where stuff happens to you and you have either good luck or bad luck to one that places you firmly in the driver’s seat of your life in order to experience your infinite power?
Now is often the time when people use the energy of the completion of one year to take stock and refocus on what they are wanting to experience. In my experience, people have one thing in common when it comes to living an authentic life they love and that is PEACE OF MIND. Think about it for a moment, if you had peace of mind right here and now, how would your perception of your problems change? Would they remain the same and take up all your headspace or maybe, just maybe you would see the myriad of problems with fresh eyes and perhaps even as opportunities.
This new view, or context shift isn’t going to be easy, lets be really honest here and say that nothing that is truly worthwhile is easy! All it takes though is a willingness to listen, truly listen with presence to your feeling inside. I’m not talking about the unstable, change like the weather emotions here, but the deeper, quieter feeling that we all have and know when we slow down enough to hear. This is where you will realize that you have whatever you are looking for already inside. That sounds like some woo-woo spiritual statement doesn’t it?! But unless you have given yourself a truly committed go at this self-realisation or conscious awareness path, then how would you know for sure?
I am opening up 5 more spaces for my one-on-one sessions to people who are ready to start January 2015 with fresh eyes and who are looking to be supported in their own authentic experience of true PEACE OF MIND. I am looking for people who are no longer content with mediocrity and a ‘fixing,changing, managing and improving’ view on life but rather a thirst for truly living their life from an authentic and powerful platform. For people who would like to be able to view their myriad of problems as opportunities and to find whatever they feel is missing.
Is this you? If so, please message me BEFORE 5pm Sydney, Australia time(GMT+11) on 31st December. I have a special festive season offer for a 10-session pack which will only be available until that time.

Wishing you all a present, powerful, love-filled moment- right here and now, not in the future, but now! xxxx
One of the biggest challenges I see and have experienced on a path of self-realisation is the immense effort that goes into staying open-hearted (and minded) when the pressure of your circumstances in your story is on. Whether that pressure appears to be coming from your relationships, your business, your finances or something else, the pressure comes from the judgmental thoughts and ideas you have about what is or isn’t happening. It is only when you reflect on the past or project into the imagined future (based upon the past) that the problem arises. In effect you literally flavour the challenges with the past and with what you have deemed positive or negative.
Your thoughts have no hold on you when you are in the here and now. When you make it your practice to be present, you allow yourself to be still internally where you are able to come from a certain, no-doubt space. Your actions will come from a deep and grounded place within rather than a headspace of stress and reaction. This is true leadership and you will find that the people around you will be attracted to that in you.
So what can you do to stay open-hearted and minded under pressure?
One great way is to be conscious of who you spend your time with. You don’t have to do it alone but are you the type of person who shares everything about your challenges with anyone who will listen and open yourself up for advice? ( which you don’t really need nor ultimately listen to or heed anyway!) This habit opens you up to other people’s thinking which, if you hadn’t noticed already just makes things more cloudy and complicated and pollutes your space. Sometimes it is great to have a sounding board, a ‘get it off your chest’ session to allow yourself to let the emotions move through you can be very useful so long as the person you do it with knows how to hold space. By holding space I mean that they are present with you but do not go into resolve your situation, they don’t judge whatever it is that you are going through no matter how painful it may appear. They are aware and know that their presence is enough. This is where an excellent coach or facilitator comes in. I find these people to be very rare but well worth having if you can find one.
Another way is to remind yourself of a couple of points:
You would never put yourself in a position that you cannot handle. Yes things can appear very crazy and out of control and bring up a lot of fearful emotions but it’s impossible that you don’t have your own back. The secret is to practice dropping out of your head to listen to what it is you already know and be prepared to follow through on that. Build a practice of this!
If you look historically in your life, the times where you have felt most expanded and empowered has always been preceded by a really tough time. The old adage, “the darkest moment comes just before the dawn’ makes a lot of sense here. When you are going through challenges times, it is there to support you to know yourself and your capacity to a greater degree- or else it simply wouldn’t be happening. Stop having amnesia about this!
Make it a practice of placing your attention on the one thing which is in front of you at a time. Our energy and attention scatters and our anxiety and stress levels blow out the moment we try to fix, change and improve everything all at once. When you get more practiced at becoming present and dropping out of your headspace, you will find the power that lies in giving your full attention to whatever is in front of you. You will feel sharper and more focused overall and will find that you achieve more by doing less.Remember one thing at a time!

I have no advice to offer you because I know that everyone has their own answers already. But I do have the single, most important thing anyone can offer you and that is presence and non-judgment which allows you to enter the here and now of your life. The only place where anything happens.

Train your mind to see the countless ways in which you are truly supported in your life rather than going along with the habitual focus on what isn’t working.
