Healing the Planet from Within
I grew up in Canada but now live in Australia. I've been nomadic since 2015.
What
inspired you to author this book?
The
essence of this book came to me when I was studying Counselling and Psychology
at University. You see, I had a friend who worked intimately with Lazaris (a
channelled entity) and how he guides people to realise their thought patterns
and sabotaging core beliefs. I worked with my friend on a particular issue of
mine for about two years as we explored the depth of a core belief. When we
finally solved that mystery, I could look at it for what it was -- we did the
transformation. After that, my life changed. All the habitual negative patterns
of my mind around that issue vanished, and I felt so much freer to form deep
and meaningful friendships. Since then this has expanded in my beingness. I
didn't realise the impact so much until I was studying at University and
noticed how the work with thoughts and beliefs were similar - they positively
changed people's lives. I was inspired to take this to the next level. How much
could a person step into a positive life? Then I discovered Barbara Frederickson's
work on Positivity, in positive psychology. I started activating the 10 forms
of positivity in my daily life - and WOW - what a difference it made! I didn't
have to feel stuck in bouts of anxiety and depression any more. I could simply
choose to activate a positivity and the negativity vanished. One simply can not
hold depression and joy in the physical body at the same time. THEN, I thought
- well, if this feels so good for me what would it be like if everyone around
the world knew how to do this!!! If everyone around the world knew that they no
longer had to be stuck in their personal template of negative thoughts and
feelings and sabotaging core beliefs - if they had a CHOICE to live a life they
loved, and feel happy and satisfied in every moment. AND knew how to activate
feelings of JOY, LOVE and PEACE within their physical body.... well, the world
would be a different place. The research on positivity is amazing and I
dedicate a very simple website to this knowledge: https://PositivityforBetterLiving.com
Where
did you get the inspiration for your book’s cover?
This
is an interesting question. I guess this book cover just evolved. I wanted a
visual to help people understand the concept of this project.
Who
has been the most significant influence on you personally and as a writer?
India
was a significant influence. I was in Rishikesh, India doing my Yoga Teacher
Training and seeking knowledge of higher consciousness last year
(August-December 2019). I was absolutely fascinated by the 8 Limbs of Patanjali
and how it clearly describes and step-by-step journey to self-realisation and
enlightenment.
What
were your struggles or obstacles you had to overcome to get this book written?
It
took me about two years to write this book. I was a single parent at the time,
studying at University and working as a tutor and sessional staff at
University, and learning how to build websites to share my work with the world.
So, most of my writing was done during this time period.
Tell
your readers about your book.
When
I read bits of my book today I see how much I could improve on it. I've
expanded my journey so much since writing it. I've evolved. But I've decided to
leave the book in it's original format and instead focus on trying to get the
message out into the world on Instagram. So, it's become a project of mine to
inspire people to really love their life and activate as many forms of
positivity as they feel to.
Most interestingly is that, when lockdown first occurred, I found myself living
in a tent in nature for two months and made an online course to help people
understand and practice this way of living. I called the course: Mysteries of a
Modern Mystic 21-Day Online Course. I've been running the course for the past
three months; we start on the 1st of each month. Student reviews have been
amazing as the content is really quite eye opening and experiential - so
they're getting the changes they desire in life.
The next step along my journey is to create a Consciousness Centre. This might
be in India or Australia, I haven't got a clear message with it as yet.
Who
is your target audience, and why?
I
find that women between the ages of 30 and 50 mostly resonate with my book and
my project.
What
do you consider your greatest success in life?
That
would be a lengthy answer. My life has been very fascinating. But one greatest
thing in my life that I'd like to share with you now is the birth of my
daughter. It was a home birth and was the most beautiful moment of my life -
the first time, this lifetime, that I experienced unconditional love.
What
one unique thing sets you apart from other writers in your genre?
I
haven't really thought this through.
