Living authentically in the now—the ‘isness’ of life

Your most authentic state is when you are present and alert to the moment, not when than anxious about the future, or weighed down by hurts and limitations acquire from our past. In these moments, we are most switched on to our personal power.

Learn the power of ‘isness’, and how it is connected to authenticity and living in the ‘now’ from spiritual and creative leaders like Allan Watts, Deepak Chopra and Picasso.

How to deal with Relationship Sabortage.png

Some of us enter a pattern of sabotage, replaying a cycle of damage and repair in relationships. For some people, as much as they want love and intimacy, they can unconsciously sabotage their relationships for fear of getting too close.

Are you sabotaging your romantic relationships or friendships? Read more to learn to recognise if you are and what to do if you are.

Are your emotions holding you back?

June 10, 2021 Sasha

It takes courage to step up and pay attention to our feelings and bodies, but the truth really does set us free.

In our culture, we have often been taught to suppress our feelings. To ‘toughen up’, and to ‘get on with it’. However, with the unprecedented amount of alcohol and drug abuse, domestic violence, ill health and poor mental health, obviously something is not working for us…

Feeling stuck, or an inability to move or progress in life is difficult and particularly disheartening when you have tried different things to move forward.

When we feel stuck, we not only fail to progress in life, we can feel unmotivated, and physically and emotionally heavy. We can experience depression, guilt, shame and isolation.

Whether I am supporting someone to move forward in life, business, or relationships—I often start by introducing a life-changing, evidence-based process to people, Self Directed Healing. This safe process works simultaneously on the mind, emotions and body—and gets results quickly…

Holding space

November 13, 2020 Sasha

This week Australia acknowledged both Naidoc Week and Remembrance Day. It makes me think about 'holding space'. Holding space is when we are physically, mentally and emotionally present for someone, as they experience their feelings.

Holding space is when we are physically, mentally and emotionally present for someone, as they experience their feelings.

Holding space is about being with someone without judgement and not trying to ‘fix’ them.

We can hold space in our families, with mates, with loved ones, and with people we cross paths with as they share their experiences and stories.

Sometimes it is just sitting with someone and listening. We can focus on their story, ‘listen to understand’, temporarily putting our own needs and opinions to the side.

We can be heroes

This is a difficult time—and just as our ancestors have experienced famine, war and disease, and other traumas, this is our ordeal that we are experiencing together.

I don't talk much about coronavirus. There's so much chat and speculation—what I know is that people and families are struggling, to say the least.

Just as in every classic hero's journey, in mythology, and films and stories, this is our ordeal. Our road of trials.

And, just like in our film and movies and stories, our lives also take an arc, they have chapters, and themes that run through our life.

These themes, ordeals and challenges—they can be hard. This is part of the human experience. It comes with being a human.

But it is these ordeals and challenges that expand us into a better version of ourselves, that help us evolve into a better species—it changes our biology…
