Whether we realize it or not, all and every human being is motivated by the desire to live a abundant life and in order to live an abundant life we must first learn to live consciously.  I began my journey wanting to heal my life, and help others do the same and somewhere along the way I came to the realization that to do this I virtually needed to let go of every limited thought pattern and subconscious belief that I and my ancestors and teachers ever had. I came to understand that when we heal our lives we not only heal our relationships but we heal every aspect of our lives and in doing so restore the balance and our ability to create or manifest a wealth of experience.

True wealth is a direct result of living with 100% consciousness, when we do the combination whereby we manifest wealth in experience, wealth in monetary value - wealth of attitude - wealth of relationships. The aim of the journey of our soul is to manifest an abundant life it is only now I realize that the journey through spirituality was simply a tool for me to understand the flow of universal energy and in truth understand that all things simply lead to one ultimate conclusion. Ultimately in doing so being able to manifest all the resources possible so I can experience an abundant life. All living creatures have the ability and the power to create their reality; human beings however have the power of thought and logic with which to focus their energies.

For years I have written and worked towards inspiring and supporting people to manifest truly abundant lives. A life, which encapsulates all the experiences, we can imagine, including wealth, health, and happiness and most of all the feeling of self-fulfillment and inner peace. Just thinking about wealth is not in itself enough; just being thankful will draw experiences and opportunities towards you. However, if we do not know how to negotiate the passage, change our reactive thinking to be supportive and common sense response, the opportunities will simply pass us bye.

A wealthy life is to have the power to manifest “Unlimited Potential.” This includes having enough money that you are able to have and experience everything you could ever want to experience, and in doing so inspire all those around you to also step out of the limits and patterns of limited thinking. Years ago when I began writing my first book, I sat at the computer with such a powerful force stirring in my stomach, that I didn’t know where to begin to write.

I felt like the energy or the wanting of the book to be written was so great it was about to make my body explode in a million pieces. I sat closed my eyes, and just began to write. The first days it was simply a jumble of chaotic thoughts, however in the days and months that followed all the pieces began to form shape, and with the shape came also an unexpected gift, that gift was my own understanding of my path and how my journey was in fact to create an abundant life. I once heard the saying, “Desire is the stirring of Gods passion for us to achieve in his image.” The universe is a living thing, being feed by our thoughts and beliefs, growing every day. The secret is to treat all aspect of the self as equal. Body, mind and soul all have equal importance and none should be sacrificed at the expense of the other.

There is a science to creating wealth; of this I have no doubt. Our every thought creates our reality, good and bad, supportive and destructive we weave and create with a power that few of us consciously understand. We are co-creators on this planet and its time to understand how our thinking manifests our reality.

Magic is simply the art of conscious thought and understanding everything that thought creates. It is that simple, and yet that complex. And the act of living consciously will open every door you could ever dream of.

"So many people lost and alone, so many people far away from home."

"When your down and troubled and you need a helping hand, and nothing, nothing is going right, just close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there to brighten up even your darkest night."  The radio blares out the words and she sits mindlessly singing along, not even listening really, just singing to herself.

                       _________________________________________________

Life had not turned out the way she dreamt; every day was just more hard slog, more stress and more unhappiness.  How she wished there had been someone to call out to and to ask for a helping hand, but in the dingy apartment there was only her and her cat.  The walls needed painting, the carpet was worn and everything old,  even at 29 she felt incredibly old, just sad and old and the thought crashed into her mind, " is this as good as it gets?"

When we are children our imaginations pave the way for incredible adventures, a child can be a famous Indian chief one minute and an explorer the next, anything is possible.   The year 2007 and is what I call a world where we want instant gratification and everyone wants to be someone, and if you don't look like a supermodel and aren't a millionaire by the time your 30 then its too late and you might just as well give up.

The pressure this sort of expectations places upon our lives is totally unrealistic to say the least.  On the other side of the coin, there are those who conform, they park their dreams on a boat to tomorrow and for today, do what they believe they have to do in order to survive, sometimes succeeding simply by being practical other times loosing their soul, prostituting themselves living a life doing a job they hate, in a city they despise, waiting for tomorrow to come so they can be happy.  

Within each and every person on this earth there is a plan, a code, a path, a destiny there are a unique set of skills and talents, just waiting for a fraction of a second for inspiration to crack open the vault of potential that sooths the soul, nurtures the heart and makes for a fulfilling life.  Problem is in 2007 we are so darn busy that mostly we don't get time to breathe let alone allow our creative talents to come to the fore and be nurtured into life time careers.

Where are you in your life right now?  On a scale of 1 - 10 are you fulfilled with your life?   Maybe you are, maybe you are one of the lucky ones who have no regrets and are living the dream job, with the perfect family.  If you are I would like to hear your story.

Mostly people who contact me resonate to my work and articles simply because they are searching, they are looking for the code, the script, the way to begin living life and still provide financially, physically and emotionally for their own well being. 

This is where I come in:  If you are feeling lost its simply because you have taken on things, habits and perceptions that are not 100% to you and your soul. Don't panic, its natural, we often take up parcels of energy from our parents, teachers, relatives, there are many different influences that can change our paths in life, and the change happens because at some time we changed ourselves to be what we thought other people wanted us to be, we conformed.  Conforming is about being average, and can I ask you have you ever met an average millionaire?  Not likely not unless they inherited it, and even then they are often anything but conformists.   Society does not encourage us to get honest with ourselves, to discover our likes and dislikes, to discover our talents and dreams.  Society would have us believe that to be successful you must conform, and yet the most bizarre truth is the most fulfilled people I know all don't conform.   The live life with passion and only study, explore, involve, and live life being involved in things that stir their soul, that drive them passionately into facing fears, and overcoming incredible odds.

To find life fulfilment the one main ingredient is courage - do you have it?  If now how can you develop that quality in your life?  Well you can start by being self honest in a way that honours and nurtures your life, that's an easy place to begin.  One day at a time, just tiny steps into respecting and honouring your true spirit, never being afraid of rejection, knowing and trusting that your spirits intuition will lead you to find the answers and in doing so take you on the most magical journey of all - the journey of self discovery - believe me its worth the effort.

Unfolding of Spirit , the presence of a loving mothers ghost. 

This is a story about something that happened last week.  The fact it happened inspired me to write about it, so maybe, just maybe this story will help someone else.

Just over a week ago, I received a call from a woman wanting an appointment to see me for some help.  I didn’t know her story, but could feel that there was something I could help her understand or help her to resolve in her life.  She came to visit and first asked me what was it I did? After all she didn’t know why she had found her way to my home, but things had just fallen into place and here she was a series of coincidences?  Well I don’t believe in coincidence I believe that miracles happen and if we are ready the sign posts will always lead us to where we are meant to be.   When she asked what I did, my reply was, “well what do you need.”  She looked at me puzzled and I laughed, then I began to explain that I am a healer, who is also a medium and clairvoyant, and I have helped people this way for over 30 years. 

We began talking; she said she had come back to the place where she was born, because it was 50 years since her birth and 50 years since her mother passed away.  Her mother had died in childbirth and for some bizarre reason she couldn’t work out why for the last few moths she has been absolutely plagued with grief and the need to return to the place she was born.  She sobbed as she told me some of her story, the grief was so overwhelming, and she asked would she ever stop crying. I replied yes, its time and proceeded to explain a few things too her in regards to how her mother was with her right now, and her grandmother also was with her, and that her mother needed to pass over, and be healed, that she was very tired, and it was time.  This is why she felt the overwhelming grief, her life was about to change and things were about to be moved and healed.  We discussed many things that day, and spent over 4 hours just talking and listening, explaining about what happened when people die, and sometimes when they die, they are not ready to die, and want to stay, just as her mother had done.  Her mother may have physically died but she had been living through her daughter for the last 50 years, trying to make sure her daughter was ok and that she was protected. 

The mother let me know she was sorry if she had interfered in her daughter’s life, she said she never meant to do that, she only wanted to protect her from the hardship of life.  As we spoke it came to me that I was to take her on a journey to a special place where we would do a small ceremony to say goodbye to her mother, and let her spirit pass through to the other side, where she could heal and gain more perspective on life.  The lady was astounded that everything I had said to her she in fact had written in her diary the night before, she had begun to let go and understand that her mother had been such a strong presence in her life that now at the age of 50 she didn’t have a clue who she was.

I wont go into great detail as I am trying to keep the story brief, any way, that night as I slept I heard someone call out to me and when I opened my eyes there in the corner of the room was this woman’s mother and grandmother.  Well they were the typical Italian mothers, dark clothes and strong women. The next morning I met again with this woman, and told her what the grandmother had conveyed to me, including her name, a name I could not have guessed, which gave her confirmation of their presence.  We proceeded out into the national park and I took my camera with me to record the day, so I could give her something special to take back in way of good memories.   The question was asked, “Lesley how do you know something will happen to day?”  My answer to my client was, “ I just know we will be given a sign, something before the end of the day to show you that your mother is now at peace and everything is alright.”  We had a lovely morning, just being out in nature, the ceremony to bring the sweetness back into life was done, and we asked for the blessings of the traditional owners of the land and the ancestors and you could feel their presence and the peace was profound.

I just stepped back and left my client to sit in peace for a few moments, all the while I kept taking photos, and just recording the sadness and then the totally change to such serenity within my client.   We drove home and I offered to put the pictures on my computer straight away so she could see them, this is when we were both astounded.  

I took over a hundred pictures that morning, and I do have a very good camera.  What we saw in the photo absolutely established that spirit was with us and that yes her mother was there and yes she did pass over.  Just at the before the ceremony of releasing her mother and the sweetness to the river, there appeared to the right of my client a huge orb of white light, you can even see where it is standing on the wooden bridge overlooking the steam.  And then after the ceremony, the same orb has moved off to the right and two more glowing balls of light one blue and one pale blue are clearly visible in the top of the frame moving upwards towards the heavens.

 My client had her sign, she was given reassurance and confirmation and not only that she was astounded that she had actually felt peaceful for the first time in longer than she could remember.  She stayed on at the resort for a few days, and it was as though she was a totally different person, the weight had gone and even people who knew nothing of what had occurred remarked on the change in her.  

In my line of work, I am lucky enough to meet a wide range of people, many of which naturally come to me when their life is in turmoil.  Turmoil comes in many shades of grey and in pure black and white too, so many issues can adversely affect a person’s life.

People just find me, someone tells someone and someone tells someone else, and so things go round and round.  My websites are the only place I tell my stories, and only then to inspire other people to understand that – death is not the end, it is the beginning, and that there are so many things that we have been indoctrinated to be in fear of, that truly are not to be feared.  In this case the answer was simple, the mother was a young woman when she passed in childbirth, she loved her daughter so much that she could not leave her, she wanted to protect her and that is exactly what she did. The time had come for her to go, to pass back to the source from whence all people come, to see the whole picture, to receive her healing, and to let go and trust that the daughter she loved so much was ok.  You see just because someone dies, doesn’t mean they know it all, they continue to learn and to live through our lives, sometimes they do interfere, sometimes they do impose their energy upon us, sometimes they simply love to much and cant let go.

 The spirit is constantly evolving, and moving towards greater understanding of itself and to peace.    

What makes you feel good? 

Is it your spouse, your parents, your job, your freedom, your finances, your hopes for the future or all of the above?  For some people they spend mega bucks in a never ending quest for that solution to “feeling good.”  The feel good syndrome thanks to media has grown more and more directly linked to money, love, status and who you know.   Magazines encourage the addictions and would have us believe that if we are not swimming in cash or head over heals in love then we are doing something wrong, when in fact 95% of the population are just like us.  Lives are often shattered because people like you and I just cant live up to the unrealistic expectations of life.  

So many young people in particular feel like failures, when in fact they are far from it.  Even new age media hype up things like “The Secret,” telling you that it’s your fault that you are not rich and abundant and smiling all the way to the bank. Sadly so many people spend even more $ trying to be what the books and videos tell them they have to be only to end up even more hurt and lost for the experience.  There are some people, who get lucky, and yes they do change their lives, but generally these people improve their lives simply because they break the patterns of negativity that have kept them in a downward spiral.  The magic is they once again begin to feel good about themselves, and once you feel good about yourself then miracles happen.  

My aim with this article is to help you put things in perspective, and maybe just maybe, we can help you on the way to genuinely “feeling good.”   Would you like to simply “Feel Good,” irrespective of circumstances? Do you think it’s possible?  How about we take a little time and shed some light on the real issues behind the need to feel good, and how we can feel good without needing anyone else to boost our ego, or spending money.

Have you ever noticed that people who have astoundingly successful lives all have tons of self confidence? And, on the other side of the coin did you know that people who lack self confidence and self worth often $ over spend?  So where do you fit? Are you one of those unstoppable self confident people, who just know you, will win at the end of the day?  Or when things go wrong do you plummet into self doubt and self abuse? 

It’s often as if something inside of us has been cross wired, and in most cases it has and it’s that simple. The person who over spends, over eats, over does everything and anything, has made a connection or association between the need to feel good (warm and fuzzy) and a behaviour that very often involves the compulsive need for instant gratification.   No one goes out in life saying I am going to do this to myself, oh what fun it will be to give myself a hard time; 

Our lives today are a result of subconscious and conscious choices, and these choices are driven by our needs base first and secondly by our value and ethics base.   Instant gratification is a part of every day life, and this is what I call the “feel good now ~ pay later,” syndrome.  We go out and buy that new shirt when we cant afford it, spend the rent money going to the club, or do something equally as inappropriate, convincing ourselves, “I’ll catch up next pay day, it will be ok.” But do we ever catch up?  And what ultimately ends up happening to us after we have indulged, “we feel lousy and spend days beating our selves up in our self talk and telling ourselves how stupid it was.”   

The need to feel good, is often an addiction in itself, people throw thousands of $ at self help products and workshops to try to attain it, they rush from relationship to relationship in search of eternal bliss, and spend hard earned cash on things that they don’t really need desperately trying to fill the gap in their soul, when in fact the one thing and only thing they need is to learn to nurture their selves and live with self respect.   The latest craze “the Secret,” is making squillions of $ for the writers, and rightly so they found a fantastic marketing tool and went for it, but how does it honestly relate to the lives of every day people?  Is getting everything you want as simple as, imagining it, owning it and then expecting the universe to hand it to you?  I wish it were. 

For some people maybe this is the case, however I believe the real secret to happiness and feeling good about your life is much simpler, it’s really about simply liking the person you are, and having trust and confidence in yourself and your choices.    It sounds so easy doesn’t it?  Strangely enough it really is that simple, it’s so simple that most people over look it.  I can hear people now saying, “Nurture myself,” what sort of crap is that?  “Self respect,” I respect myself but the problem is no one else does! It’s the relatives that are the problem, or, I don’t have the right job, or, the boss hates me, or, I married too young, or, or, or…….  All of the “or’s” are just lame excuses or lies we tell ourselves to convince ourselves, “there is nothing wrong with me.”  Am I right?   

When you get right back down to basics of life, a person with out self respect is always going to be looking towards someone or something else to make them feel good about their life.   So without thinking about it often people try to gain the feeling good through the money, sex, drugs or what ever is available, but ultimately they are just a temporary substitute that keeps us distracted from dealing with the real issues. So how do we deal with the real issues without turning ourselves inside out, going to an ashram, and having psychotherapy for the rest of our lives? It’s easy, very easy, want to find out?
