Working locally (on what happens within) makes a difference globally.
Each time I witness a client moving through their fearful perception and into a new expanded awareness, I feel a thrill within. For I realise in that moment that each time it occurs, the butterfly wings of awareness spread out and through everything globally. One more layer of darkness has lifted and light is restored.
So sometimes when people get caught up worrying or feeling powerless about how they could ever make a difference in the world, how little ol’ them could change the way that their country is being governed or the decisions that are being made by corporations, then I say that you must keep bringing your attention back to yourself and take responsibility for how you are showing up and how you are feeling. That is the way that you can contribute powerfully in creating the shifts you wish to experience and see in the world.
If you are waiting for things to change in your life story or are getting frustrated and feeling unable to deal with the circumstances around you, this is the time when you have forgotten the truth of who you are and just how powerful and capable you are. It’s also the time where we easily go into a cycle of self-sabotage, disgust, shame and victimhood and when we have that going on, we end up behaving in all kinds of inauthentic and limited ways.
So what are you prepared to do differently? instead of waiting.
How might you begin to bring your attention back to you and how you are turning up in life? instead of blaming others or circumstance for what’s happening.
In my experience working with my clients, shifting context in this way takes firstly the willingness to do it! It can also mean that things have got really hard in your life (that way, you’ll sit up and listen and want to make a change because its uncomfortable!) and it takes rigour and discipline as you break old habits and build new ones.
If you have been sitting with a feeling of frustration and feeling powerless, then maybe it’s time you stopped stalling and give me a call.There’s work to be done and fun to be had! I would love to partner up with you and support your new way of turning up.

Why are you waiting for the discomfort to be so intense before you do something differently?
If you ponder on that for a moment, you will see that it is often so true. People wait until the circumstances in their lives get so uncomfortable, so unbearable that they almost back themselves into a corner and they don’t feel like they then have a choice.
Why do you wait to have a courageous conversation? Why wait to go ahead with that project or business you dream of? Why put off something that you know deep down is true and feels right?
When you realise the universal truth that life is- and can only ever be- lived in one place, the here and now, then things can really start to shift.
So, what are you putting off? and have you asked yourself why? Why are you biding time for the right moment?
In my experience of working with people I see it all the time. People telling themselves that it’s not quite the right time, they don’t want to speak the truth in case they hurt someone’s feelings, they need one more qualification, another few thousand in the bank etc BEFORE they can do, be or have ‘X’.
All of these are excuses! No wonder there are so many people who feel such a deep sense of powerlessness about their circumstances when they continually and habitually keep putting things off. And when you realise why you play games with yourself this way, you will (metaphorically) kick yourself!
For anyone interested in truly living an authentic and true path and who is tired of this limited ‘delay game’ THE TIME IS NOW. The truth moves through you in each moment, moment to moment, but are you listening to what your truth is?…and are you willing to act upon it?
I am interested in working with people who have had enough of avoiding and putting off stuff in their lives and who are ready to tell themselves the truth. I am welcoming a further 5 people to join me for my coaching partner program where you will have both one-on-one focussed support AND a fortnightly online group-coaching session to really forge a fresh way of turning up in your world.
How about you seize the moment which is NOW and send me a message so we can explore the option of partnering up.
It’s one thing to become more conscious and a whole other thing to to take action on that new awareness. That’s when you must walk the talk, not just talk the talk.
Awareness without action is dangerous because it breeds cynicism and spiritual passivity. You know, all those books, courses and sessions you’ve attended but the old habits creep back in and you are convinced that none of it works! Its not IT that doesnt work, its you who needs to work at it!
When you begin a practice of consciousness it is something that mustn’t be treated lightly- take it seriously without being serious about it- there’s a big difference between the two.
It’s all part of taking responsibility for the awareness that you are.
Don’t be fooled by looking for the easier route, there isn’t one. Deepen your connection to who you truly are THROUGH YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE. Use your coach/ mentor/ practitioner to support you in your journey rather than expecting or hoping that they will do the work for you. That means getting in and getting dirty, metaphorically and sometimes physically scruffing your knees and feeling bruised. It’s through the very challenging times that we learn so much more about our strengths and capabilities so stop avoiding and agreeing with your small voice in your head. As I say to my clients, just keep putting one foot in front of the other and use the support you have around you.
Integration as you go along is far more important than more and more accumulation of knowledge.
If you are someone who has a lot of knowledge but are not seeing the benefit of that knowledge, then give me a call. If you are a coach who wants to go deeper with your clients, give me a call, I love to support you in walking YOUR OWN deepening awareness path.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
Are you playing safe? Life’s ok but a bit blah and unadventurous?
Are you ready to turn up on the ‘edge’?
As you expand your awareness, you stop avoiding discomfort. You will find that you won’t wait for challenge to come, you will look for your ‘edge’. You know that expansion only occurs at the edge of comfort, the edge of feeling safe. I call it the comfortably/uncomfortable edge!
This is where you can become very aware of the paradox we live. On one hand, when we follow our head and its ideas, we are comfort seeking missiles, always looking for the safe and easy way out with little to no struggle. On the other hand when we are present and aware of the feeling that pulls us from within, we are coming from a space beyond thought that is all about fearless expression and experience. Turning up alive, engaged and involved and seeing what happens!
When working with individuals, I support them in their own experience of what this fully expressed space is about and how valuable it is. A fully expressed liver of life doesn’t look for their life to be safe and smooth, in fact they would naturally be wary if it did. Instead they are actively involved and present to the opportunities that surround them, knowing that it is better to have jumped in and tried something and ‘failed’ than to stay in the comfort zone.
I would love to hear from you and share how I can partner with you to support you to find your edge and stay there. Remember, there is no ‘right’ time to do anything, there is right here and now and it only takes one step at a time. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
