Engaging in personal development and exploring new parts of yourself, can introduce you to wondrous opportunities and techniques for healing. This is one of the most creative and exciting aspects of the healing process - discovering what works for your body, system and spirit.

However, I am writing today to remember - and champion - some of the essential aspects of healing. 

The process of learning and evolving is continual throughout life.

We move from one successive goal and, after some consolidation, find that there is a new goal awaiting us. From one life challenge... we find there is another lesson to be learned.

There is a Divine plan, a Divine Will for your life.

Destiny in motion, something far greater than we can imagine. Fuelled by Source, God, the ultimate Creative Design.

And you are the co-creator.

Are you able to vocalise your authentic thoughts and feelings?

Are certain opinions, beliefs or feelings censored in some way?

Are you able to express your purpose openly in the world?

There are a great number of ways to connect to the spark of life: Art, Science, Nature, Prayer.

It does not matter what your word is or how you connect. What is vital for your spirit, your wholeness and the alignment of your being, is to invite this greater power to fill your life.

In Brené Brown's book Rising Strong she talks frankly about what happens to us after we "fall down".

I don't know many writers, or researchers, who discuss so openly the real difficulties of showing up as authentic in our lives.

Brené talks about authenticity as stepping out into the arena - being vulnerable, opening your heart, entering into your emotional world. It is inevitable that if you step out and show up, that sometime you will "fall down".

This is a delicate subject, but one I think about often.

Life can seem too hard sometimes, especially with the many tragic events that have happened recently in the UK.

People are struggling to find peace.

Inviting in an intention might not always get you exactly what you want straight away.

There, I said it.

It's disappointing I know. We all want our dreams to work out exactly as we have planned in our minds. It's human nature to want to control each step as well as the outcome.

Have you ever had that sense of being pulled forwards? Have you ever wondered what - or who - is doing the pulling?

If a future version of yourself is calling you forwards, they have the knowing of a future dream or destination. And they know the optimal next step.

Are you looking for inspiration?

Something to make you sparkle daily?

Something gorgeous that lights you up, and is there at the click of a button?
