INTRODUCTION

Many people are seekers of spirituality and the deeper meaning of life, what is often overlooked is the returning back to ourselves to truly begin the transformation within us. Spirituality is unique to each individual and is the intimate affair that you have with yourself. There is no other person’s way that is right for us all, rather in using your own sense of inner guidance and reflecting further within yourself, do you find many answers to your life’s questions. A truly remarkable human existence is what we are experiencing by having being granted a lifetime of potential understanding through self-awareness.

By you being drawn to read this book, you most certainly would be that courageous seeker of your truth and this is not to be downplayed, as it takes much courage to venture on a path that is less travelled. However, in doing so, you are going to be able to reward yourself with a freedom you never knew could possibly exist. In looking further into the awareness of yourself, you are gaining more clarity to transform your life in a completely honest way. I was inspired with greatest of love, compassion and transparency to share my heart and learnings with you, to assist you to help yourself and to expand your own understanding.

There are no challenges, or hardships of experiences you have gone through in your life, that cannot be understood and transformed. It is irrelevant what age you are, what culture you live in or circumstances you have placed around you right now, that are not able to be reshaped by yourself to live your life from the truest version you can be. If you feel lost, alone, anguished or any other emotion that is overwhelming you, then you may just be ready to revert your glance inwards and return back to you.

There is no other person that can have as much impact on your life and the direction of your growth, other than yourself. You are and can be your own hero of your journey. The one that you have been seeking has and will always be within you. You will see this at a later time, if you have not seen this understanding as yet, for it is through experience that we grow and reveal this deeper essence of ourselves. In highlighting this, I state emphatically of the options and choices that you have presented before you are much more than you may believe right now. There has been a suppression for humanity as a whole that has covered up the power that we all contain, the healing capacity and further abilities that can be revealed as we redirect ourselves back to our core natural state of being. This whole book is from a focal point of experiences that I have encountered in my lifetime and revealing the truth of what I have found, to assist with the remembrance of your own unique capacity to unfold your freedom within. Use your own inner guidance when reading over my work or anyone else’s and gauge from yourself how you can understand, relate and action the details of what are shared. Through offering the experiences of a life lived in self-exploration and the search for deeper understanding, I hope to inspire, encourage and support you as you awaken yourself to the wonder within.

Remember, to be kind to yourself, whilst reading this book, as you may be allowing yourself to gain further understanding of what you were not ready to hear before. For this I applaud you and share my support through relating of the impact of your strength arising within you. When you remember to give yourself a break as you learn your way through life, you form compassion for yourself that you would normally just give to others. You also neutralise the effects that your beliefs of ‘rights and wrongs’ have self-judged in you before. This is when you open the doorway to endless potential and capability to relate to yourself and others much more than you may ever have previously.

When you are looking back at past experiences and actions, instead of judging them, you can choose to focus on the forefront in understanding why without tearing yourself apart. You cannot be held completely responsible for actions if you did not understand them at the time or even know that you had another choice. However, you can begin to take responsibility for the cause of what your actions may have impacted on both to yourself and others. Focusing on this, is taking ownership of yourself in your expansion to also redirect your life and take conscious actions, thereon. This will become naturally easier as you provide compassion for yourself too. So, this is where you can again and again give yourself that break to appreciate your growth, rather than berating yourself for past actions. Yes, you may perceive the detrimental choices you may have made previously but honing in on just this focus, can get you nowhere fast and leave you feeling even more dis-empowered. By focusing on gaining understanding and bearing witness to your actions, you will be in a more present place to transform your life and release any pain of the past.

There may be times, when you may feel uncomfortable in reading parts of this guidebook and that is okay. Indicators of uncomfortable feelings are blessings in disguise and are presented to further conceive a greater awareness about yourself. You may use them
