Spiritual Healing

What an unusual year 2020 was for me, my loved ones, family, neighbours, community and the global village we call planet earth.

We experienced great change alongside loss, crisis, grief, uncertainty, despair, anger, sadness and a whirlwind of emotions. But with this comes renewal, rebalance, rejuvenation, realignment, reevaluating and rewiring to make for a better planet. Maybe you can't see it now, but the universe and our planet have an intelligence that is much greater than our own.

Carl Jung pointed out that our ancestors believed in gods; we believe in vitamins — both invisible.

Speaking about the ego and the grip of the rational mind he went on to say,

“We congratulate ourselves on having reached a pinnacle of clarity, imagining that we have left all these phantasmal gods far behind. But what we have left behind are only verbal specters, not the psychic facts that were responsible for the birth of the gods. We are still as much possessed by autonomous psychic contents as if they were Olympians. Today they are called phobias, obsessions, and so forth; in a word, neurotic symptoms.”

 The tarot invites us to see life as a great adventure, if not a quest.

When I first discovered tarot as a teenager it offered a richer view of the world and its mysteries than what I experienced going to a strict and sombre all girls Catholic school.

Showing a natural affinity for reading intuitively for friends, I seized opportunities that presented to read cards for people in Sydney cafes and markets.

Within a couple of years, I found myself in Ibiza where I did tarot readings for locals and tourists, which showed me that the symbolism of the tarot transcends language barriers.

Venturing Beyond the Bounds of our Comfort Zone

“At times you have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself.” - Alan Alda

Of all the ironies, is there any greater than the fact that we work (or at least labour) extremely hard to build a comfortable life only to then discover that this comfort atrophies into debilitating states of depression or numbness? It used to only afflict those at midlife, but with the advent of the quarter-life crisis, we are being provoked to get real earlier than ever before.

Wellbeing Health Retreats

Words such as "depressed" and "anxious" don’t exist in some American Indian and Alaska Native languages. Quite a contrast from modern society, where The World Health Organization names depression as the single leading cause of disability globally.

If you were born after 1945, you’re 10 times more likely to experience depression. From 2005-15, cases of depressive illness increased by nearly a fifth. Around 1 in 5 people won’t make it through the year without having a battle with mental illness.

Magician in Tarot

The Magician card is the first in the major arcana, with the Fool card given the numbering zero being both the start of the soul’s journey and the end.

It begins the first pairing, or polarity, between the masculine and feminine or yin and yang.

Whereas the High Priestess represents going inward and nurturing our intuitive capacities, the Magician represents taking action and being fully incarnate in the physical world. 

You may have heard the aphorism, “some people are so spiritual they are of no earthly good to anyone.”

This is not the case with this tarot card.

Couples Counseling Retreat

Of all the myths causing heartache, few compare to the one which says that once we track down our elusory soulmate, everything will fall into place for us.

Anaïs Nin put it succinctly when she said: “Where the myth fails, human love begins.”

Tarot the Lovers

To understand the lovers tarot card it’s important to recognise that it is one of 22 major arcana cards which represent archetypal development or what we could call the soul’s journey.

The fool tarot is numbered as zero. Some say this is because we start our journey as the ignorant fool and grow into the wise fool. Others hold that it recognises our unlimited potential, thus it should be unnumbered. Then some argue the Fool is outside of the number systems as he is the character experiencing the journey.

Childhood trauma & the benefits of breathwork in releasing it

Among the paradoxes we wrestle with is the tension between human resilience and fragility.

Humans have been described as all-terrain vehicles with supercomputers inside that can go anywhere. We’ve survived world wars, major pandemics and outlived dinosaurs.

Breathwork Healing

We’ve been programmed evolutionarily for fight or flight.

The problem with flight is that we tend to store intense emotions in our bodies.

One of the great things about entering midlife is that your life makes more sense and you gain a clearer understanding of who you are.

What is transpersonal therapy?

Transpersonal is defined as areas of consciousness beyond the limits of personal identity.

Cheap Tarot Reading

The collective culture is always impacting our state of mind. With the pandemic stirring up economic fears and concerns about job security, I've noticed a rise of people looking for express readings to accommodate their budget.  

Holotropic Breathwork

As we enter the festive season, a transformational breathwork session may well be one of the best self-care investments you can make.

Hanging Man Tarot

Our Wild, or Instinctual Nature, is growing increasingly more endangered. Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés argues that we all have access to this, “powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing.”

Looking Beyond The Conscious Mind

Of the many people who will do a web search for something like fortune telling Sydney, far fewer attempt to understand how it is that a tarot reading works. While psychology permeates our culture, understanding the human mind is a relatively new field of study. Philosophers may have discussed it frequently but few ancient people earned their livelihoods from it, unlike today.
