I’ve been practicing what I preach – self-love, in Barbados.
Loved all the winks from the universe saying I am on course. Don’t forget to watch for them. More on this later. Received three 90-minute massages from Anita, within the week – the award-winning Basian massage therapist at Dover Beach Hotel. Hence my March special offer (3x 90-minute aromatherapy treatments, get the third half price : )) … treatments to be booked in the same week for maximum healing.
Received interesting insight from Anita about the tension I sometimes feel behind my right scapula. No surprise really that this side she considers my “strong side” ie. I use it more. Note to self. Strengthen my left side … use it more to carry bags. The tension I often feel for no apparent reason around my left thigh which I associate an old ancestral issue – Anita thought a “nervous issue,” which seems a fair point.
How delightful it was to wake at 9am, roll down the stairs and right onto the massage couch, for a 90-minute treatment, then to feel the benefits all day – and then repeat the following day.
Two UK storms missed and two extra nights covered by the airline due to “technical issues” likely stemming from the storm. Win, win, win, win. On the subject of storms. Like depression, they pass. I witnessed some beautiful storms approach and pass through in Barbados. The Sun is always on the other side, waiting, without fail. Got me thinking about how approaching therapy in such situations like depression, is like opening up and letting light in for yourself. Asking for help truly is self-love and self-healing. All healing is self-healing – you must want to be helped, or have those that love you want you to be better and act on your behalf. A recent example is, a lady approached me about her sister who has been depressed for years. Although my client didn’t have the strength at the time to ask for help herself, her sister asked for her and walked her to the Light Centre in Belgravia. The light in her sister’s eyes, that the Lomilomi treatment let in, has to be one of the most rewarding moments of my therapeutic career. More on this in my next blog post.
… On the subject of the universe telling me I’m on course. A few things. Receiving or sending messages, unintentionally, at 11.11 or 1.11 or 04.44 – signifying to me, high vibration.
I sent a photo & message to a new friend at 1.11pm (UK time), mentioning the silver lining that I could see on the beautiful cloud formation I had photographed from my hotel terrace. I have since discovered this new friend has anxiety & depression.
The couple that I get “stranded” with due to the cancelled flight, has a daughter who has severe social anxiety, a subject that her mother needed to discuss.
Message sent to a co-worker at 4.44, mentioning potential/current closure from a design contract. I felt supported when I noticed the repeated digits.
Last but not least. Bumping into a therapist, Dawn Brown of TriYoga, who I had seen for a session, a few years ago, at the airport also on her was to Barbados! Dawn works with the angelic realm and was on her way to Barbados to organise her retreat. The most outrageous thing about this “co-incidence” is that that morning all other breakfast cafe options seemed so unappealing, yet I ended up in my least favourite restaurant, where Dawn was sitting. Turns out, very good granola, and a therapeutic contact re-made.
… This reminded me that we must LISTEN TO OUR INSTINCTS, NOTICE WHERE WE ARE DRAWN TO! and don’t resist the subtle forces that play through us. We are all divine and have some divinity acting and shining through us so we just need to trust and life will flow on quite beautifully.
Mahalo,
