Now it begins….
July 11th, 2007
Hi everybody.
Welcome to my ‘Now you are Awake’ blog. This blog marks an exciting new step for me - a place where I can make more contact with those of you that follow my work, plus share what is going on and what’s coming up. And I’m looking forward to the evolution of this blog - who knows what it may become in the months and years ahead?
But right now we are ‘today’ and this is post number 1! So here is what’s been happening recently….
As those of you who listen to the radio show each month may already know, in May (directly after we finished creating THE FREEDOM EXERCISES) I went through my own personal experience where freedom is concerned. I literally burnt out and was physically and emotionally brought to my knees, because I had over done everything. I had been trying to do as much work as I could possibly do, and then I wondered why life was not fulfilling to me when I wasn’t working. The reason I had been so blind (to what now seems very obvious to me and no doubt many of you) is that because of the healing and learning path that I am on daily, coupled with the work that I do with people, I believed that;
A) If you are privileged enough to do what you love doing as your work, then surely burn-out is not an issue you ever deal with because your love of what you do is fuel enough
B) If you are working day to day with spirit, you are being automatically renewed through the source of energy you tap into and surely the work would give you all the balance you need.
Now while I do believe that the above 2 factors are perfectly possible as a reality, it appears I had quite a lot of my old ’human habits’ that were interfering with this possibility - habits that needed to be laid to rest. I have always been a fast learner and implementer and when I am driven by something I am creating I will put all of my energy behind it - the inspiration of what I am doing is energy enough for me. So this can lead to burn-out if you don’t keep an eye on the balance. But also, ever since I left studying my work had been a mixture of jobs I was passionate about and many jobs that I wasn’t but that I did purely to earn money so I could pay my rent. These 2 mentalities were a part of who I was and had been with me all through my life, but ever since my full time work became my channeling and music (age 29 - 2 years ago) I had begun to change my way of being and seeing very fast. This ‘old’ side of me however, of ‘giving everything you have in work’ and in a sense being a ’slave’ to work had remained quite hidden to me and thus never been released.
So this burn-out experience was very difficult for me to go through on many levels. It was confusing because I did not see it coming at all, but it was also sad and quite emotional too as it was literally the ‘death’ of this part of myself that i had identified with and lived with for so long. A part of who Iwas that was no longer needed for my next part of the journey. And I now see that THE FREEDOM EXERCISES (TFE) catalysed me into this state so that i could exercise my freedom by exorcising one of my own inner traps. A trap that I needed to lose and lay to rest now that my work had changed.
So I have recently received emails from many of you saying how powerful TFE has been for you in your lives and I wanted to share with you today that the power was not lost on me, even though I was its creator! When Story and I were creating the project (and that period of creation was very guided, intense and fast) we knew it was a powerful work as it literally gripped us until we had completed it.
But now it’s 3 months later and I see how I have changed so much in my life. My old ’slave’ side was fully laid to rest by me on a recent holiday to Palma, where my energy started to return plus Story and I had a wonderful time in the energy and heat of the sun. And we also re-thought and refocused so much for ourselves and for the future of Limitlessness. One of the products of our time to rethink was the birth of our blogs and there is more change to come. I am also now eating only natural/living (non-processed) foods about 95% of the time, to stabilise and better support my physical energy and the energetic work that I do, which has been an incredible experience. And much has changed and evolved in my channeling. Both of these topics I’ll share more on in the coming weeks as there is much to say in each area.
I have named this blog ‘Now you are Awake’ as that is the title of the book I am in the process of writing, But that book will now be a 2008 release as this summer Story and I will work on the book version of TFE, which is very exciting as it will contain not only the information in the audio recordings but a great deal of expansion and new information too. I can’t wait to share it with you all.
In the very immediate future though, my new audio recording on ’The Eye of Awareness’ should be out early next week, which contains the channel released as June’s Invitation To Remember and a new channel and a talk on ‘awareness and its impact on your life’. More on that in the days to come, and there are a few music projects underway also which I’ll let you know about when the time is right.
But for now, I wanted to say hi to you all. It really is an incredible journey we are taking here - a journey where I feel my connection to all of you taking it with me. My path would not be the way it is if it weren’t for the people who wanted my channeling. I never ‘consciously’ chose or set out to be a public channeler or dreamed that I would be doing this. It was a series of events back in May 2004 that started everything. I’d been able to channel for 7 years at that point but that May I helped out a dear healer friend with some of her life issues when we were in a cafe one day. Based on the information I intuitively received for her, the issues she was experiencing literally transformed overnight. So she suggested that I begin to offer my ability publicly rather than keeping it as a casual private thing between me and my friends. Initially I was nervous and did not believe I would get many people coming to me. I would also only do written channels by email and it was all on a donation basis. I had 60 clients in the first 60 days though, based purely on word of mouth. I was stunned as I had no idea it would take off in the way it did or that people would just keep coming, recommended by their friends.
So I credit those clients in that first year of sponsoring my growth as a channeler. It may be strange for some of you to hear but I actually learnt the value of my channeling through first hearing and seeing how valued it was by others. After I had got over the shock of my ‘unusual’ job and life change, I learnt to really love and appreciate what I do. This past year particularly has just been so wonderful work wise. When I look at what Story and I are doing now, it would be an extraordinary sight to the ’me’ that I was 3 years ago. But then that is the gift of change and growth. You never know what is around the corner for you.
And as well as everything else that we do, I continue to do one personal session per day and I love doing it. My experience of it just grows and grows and connecting with the souls of others in this intimate way is such a privilege.
So just as my channeling was designed to be shared, this blog is for all of us because we are all sharing this journey together. So I’d love to see you freely posting your comments and opinions and I know others would benefit from hearing your voices on here as well as mine.
So until the next post, big love and a smile to all of you.
Lee
