2012 - a year of Conscious Self Care

What is Conscious Self Care?
The purposeful intention of caring for all dimensions of yourself in order to live a more enriched, enchanted and enlightened life.
Its practical tools with a soulful underlay, there is clarity, structure and strategies in place which provide a platform so that healing, wholeness and grace can work their magic.
It´s where modern day living, ancient wisdom and universal laws all meet to form a pathway to follow.
I invite you to sit back, put your feet up and take 5 minutes just for you. Because my friend, you deserve it!

Testimonies

"I won bronze and silver medals in softball at the Sydney and Athens Olympics so I can relate to your "peak performance" philosophy. Now as a mother of two, still training plus being in a management role, I loved your women in business focus."

Let Your Mess Be Your Message!

Written by: Karina Stephens | April 22nd, 2011 | | 0 Comment

On a trip back to visit my parents I bumped into an old school friend. We hadn’t seen each other for over 20 years and I was interested to find out what she had been up to. Over a coffee she proceeded to tell me that life hadn’t really gone to plan. She was going through a rather messy divorce, had lost her mother to cancer less than a year ago and had major financial issues that were worrying her. She truly felt that she had wasted a lot of years with the wrong man and had given up a promising career in radio in order to raise a family. She was in the middle of a winter season and couldn’t see a way out.

I truly believe that great things are birthed from great pain. Child birth is the perfect example of this. Not that I have experienced this personally and being 40 now I have no desire to rush out and try it just so that I can prove my theory. I did see my nephew being born and witnessed first hand my sister go from a loving feminine soon to be mother to a demon with teretts syndrome and back again in the space of 9 hours.

The pages of life’s history books are filled with the stories of great overcomings. Ordinary human beings facing extraordinary circumstances and against all odds, coming out the victor and inspiring others in the process. This is what life is all about isn’t it? Rising up against adversity, stretching and growing and transcending through life’s levels.

Each level containing Universal Laws which are hidden behind our unconscious living and Egotistic States and as the eyes of our soul are opened up we ‘remember’ a life law revealed to us, waiting for us to finally ‘get it’ so that we can continue to progress through life living our purpose.

In the midst of our pain lies the darkness, confusion and brokenness. The light is absent here except for the next step. There is no illumination on the future. No brightness to light the wilderness with which we trek. Out steps are heavy with the weight of this yoke on our shoulders.

We’ve all been here or presently here and we all will return again. For these are the Labour Pains of Life. There is no birth without them. Trying to numb the pain with drugs and alcohol only lengthens the gestation period.

But as with every birth comes a new life. A new beginning just as spring follows every winter, there is a rebirth. For this is the cycle of life. The old needs to die before the new can be born. Everything is as it is meant to be.

And just like the snake who sheds its skin we need to shed our old self so that our new enlightened self can shine forth. The snake does not carry its old skin around with it once it’s shed. It leaves it and moves on.

Unfortunately a lot of us hold on to our pasts like excess baggage, cluttering up our hearts and minds and limiting our true potential. Baggage is classed as anything you can not say thank you for and just like the snake we need to leave it behind and move on.

This process is called letting your mess be your message. A powerful tool for liberating yourself and empowering others to do the same.
