If You could, what Sage Advice and Wisdom Would You Give Your Younger Self

... now 40 Years later?

🌺

Is life a Magic Roundabout,

turning in a Circle of Happenings we are Taken Along on,

seemingly the Same, just Different Scenery? ....

What if we Awaken to its Illusion and Consciously Create Our Own Magic?

Welcome to the

🌼 Start Here 🌼

Section of this Website!

The above picture of me and my then two year old little daughter and my six year old son was taken 40 year ago as of this writing. As a family we lived for many, many years in Hong Kong.

What have I learnt since then? What am I still learning? What is the Trajectory of Life I am moving on?

More importantly, what is my gift to YOU as a result of the second chance I was given after my life transitioned beyond the veil, and I experienced a life-changing Near Death Experience?

Hey, Stop! Unwind! Slow Down! Scale Back from the Overwhelm! ....

Simplify Your Life!

I could have been called a complex knowledge / learning / more-and-more-courses / degrees / certificates hoarder, never feeling enough that I could survive another economic down turn, let alone old age. I felt I was always behind and catching up with what I wanted to achieve in spiraling out of control overwhelm.

My biggest worry and fear was about the lack of financial security at my age. As a wholistic healing-arts practitioner with two psychology degrees, naturopathic certificate, etc., in private practice with no real pension to speak of, I was 'eaten' by fear of the risk of outliving any available funds and money.

I was chasing after the next shiny course or program or certificate promising hope that this would finally give me the security to allow myself to relax and enjoy life.

..... and then it happened

I was emergency blue-lighted into the A&E after the first heart attack, and a few hours later died with a cardiac arrest .... I was finally at peace!

I was floating in unspeakably calm and loving bliss towards warm welcoming golden light. I felt free, unburdened, wrapped in unconditional love and eternal beauty with a sense of joy that knows no bounds. I sensed a glorious oneness with all that was in me, around me, with me. Fear was non existent in that realm ... Frankly, there are no words to describe the experience ...

So, you are reading this, as I was resuscitated, and brought back into this existence here. Clearly my time to remain in the realm of glory beyond the veil was not yet .... but why?

I've been given the opportunity to really learn to trust inner guidance from the Beyond and create a life that is true to myself, living in harmony and alignment with my higher essence and values.

I have been given the opportunity to learn about simplifying my life (which is an ongoing continuous process of re-evaluating and refinement).

It's not about doing less, it's about doing more of what matters most; it's not about reducing the amount of things we do or have, but about focusing what truly holds value and is important to us; it's about being a curator of our life, learning to let go of fear and simply embracing harmony and love, setting clear boundaries, knowing that we are guided and protected at all times ... if we are open to listen.

There are only two energies at the core of the human experience:

love and fear.

Love grants freedom, fear takes it away.

Love invites full expression, fear punishes it.

Love invites you, always, to break the bonds of ignorance.

~ Neale Donald Walsch

Throughout this website, this is my message.

It does not matter if we wish to increase our financial independence

by adding another stream of income,

looking after ourselves with high quality food and food supplements,

enriching our lives with a community of likeminded friends,

or enhancing our journey with personal development,

if we are fear and ego driven regarding what we may loose and how bad our circumstances are,

we will be in for a hard and disappointing time.

If however we choose to be divinely and soul led to live consciously

with the good in mind for all,

especially including ourselves,

we can learn to experience heaven on earth .... just a thought!

💛

.... and, some more food for thought

Identifying Ageism and Empowering Women

Many of you identify as being part of the Boomer generation.

Society often places a high value on youth and beauty, leading to ageism. This cultural obsession with staying young can make women feel pressured to distance themselves from anything that signifies old age. In a society that often sidelines older adults, especially women, there can be a fear of becoming invisible or irrelevant.

Reframing Aging: Becoming an Elder

As you will see in my various writings, I like to play with archetypes to empower women of a certain age to give themselves a different perspective. Instead of viewing yourself as eventually becoming 'elderly', consider embracing the archetype of the Elder.

The Elder is a respected figure in many cultures, symbolizing leadership, wisdom, and experience. Elders often guide their communities and preserve cultural traditions and knowledge. Here are some key characteristics:

Wisdom and Experience: Elders possess a wealth of knowledge acquired over a lifetime.
Community Leadership: They often play pivotal roles in decision-making and guiding younger generations.
Respect and Reverence: Elders are highly respected figures within their communities.
Mentorship: They mentor and support others, sharing their life lessons and experiences.

Desires as We Age: A Deeper Understanding

Let's delve deeper into what many of us desire as we get older, as illustrated in the accompanying diagram.

Whilst the diagram captures essential elements like physical wellness, mental wellness, cognitive fitness, and financial autonomy — foundations that support travel, hobbies, social connections, relationships, and community (all of which is available on this website as inspirations and tips) — there’s a deeper aspect to consider.

Living the Life You Want

One of the main reasons people struggle with aging is the feeling that they aren't living the life they desire. When you are truly living the life you want, you are present and engaged in activities that give you a sense of aliveness. You are too busy enjoying your life to worry about each passing year.

At some point in midlife, we need to identify less with the outer world and more with our consciousness, soul, and inner essence that animates it.

We need to move out of the sphere of being constantly achievement driven, into the sphere of enjoyment, appreciation, and relaxing into the wonder of it all, where we follow our heart and choose what deeply matters to us.

Moving from an ego-driven life to a soul-led life. A life that is radiating from the inside, our Beingness our Soul Essence, that will inform everything else on the diagram representing what we desire.
