States of Transition

Every now and again you will recognize a state you have previously been in that has been sent to teach you something…

Phases thru my life that you might identify with:

Upon reflection of my own life these are the phases that I have noticed…

 Quarantine- all must stop change be emptied let go of and things need to cleaned up…

Persistance- you’re committed to the 90^th percentile but finding it difficult to stay on the path…You know what works and constantly remind yourself to listen to that wise little voice within…but the personality actually doesn’t like change so “persists” in engaging in more of the same…

The Screamer – you are trying so hard to do what you “think” is right and this is suppressing what you feel is right…What you feel is too painful to put into words so at the right trigger you find yourself having no capacity to stop and observe the pain…you find yourself at worst screaming and at best crying because you cannot explain your feelings.

Bliss- everything in that moment is perfect…You are not worried about the future, not thinking about the past, just enjoying the present to maximum capacity. Like the joy felt witnessing a dolphin swim past or the enchantment of watching a beautiful butterfly, magnificent starry sky or sunrise/sunset. BEING IMMERSED IN NATURE WITH NO BOUNDARIES…A FEELING OF ONENESS with EVERYTHING and EVERYONE.

 Whatever phase you might find yourself in...know that it's only temporary...

Energy is constantly moving from Order to Chaos and it's our job to bring it back into alignment...

Pure Consciousness Meditations facilitate techniques which are designed to get you off the treadmill of avoiding pain and seeking pleasure..as the very thing that can make you happy one day can make you unhappy the next...

A classic example of this in my life, was when my  late husband Craig went to extraordinary extents to get me on his first classic silver 900FE Ducati motorcycle...He had a pillion seat spray painted just for me and after months of preparation couldn't wait to take me on my first official ride on "The Duke". 

Unfortunately for me...I didn't have the proper riding boots and the zip on the boots that I wore cut the paintwork back to the fibreglass...Hence Craig went  from proud as punch  "Bliss"  to the "Screamer" state within about 20 seconds of his mate Terry saying ..."Ah mate, I don't spose you've noticed this...Now mate don't get angry at Sorelle...she didn't mean to do it"...

Unfortunately for me...Craig did his best to refrain from cussing and swearing in the moment...however I paid for it for the following month, when the slightest little mistake would cause him to vent irrationally...just like Happy Gilmore!!!!

Ah such is life and the learning curve of transitioning to more empowered states. You can only do so if you recognize the benefits of staying relaxed, confident and centered. Meditation can assist you to  refine pain and become more truthful, helping to eliminate stress, so that it is not suppressed... opportunities consistently present for us to become more conscious of our truth and speak it with integrity and love, as what is suppressed eventually needs to be expressed.

Welcoming The Winds of Change-Creating a Work/Life Balance

Quick Lunchtime Meditation
If you find that your daily life has you glued to an office  chair, running from appointment to appointment or looking after everyone else but yourself...Creating a  work life balance starts with your intention.
This quick 3 minute meditation is designed to realign your mindset and state to a relaxed and confident state.It can be used as a beginners guide to quietening the mind and carving out an intention to bring peace and nature into your day...
Set aside 5 minutes to create balance in your day...it all starts with a thought.
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain...

Free 3 minute Full Moon Meditation - Welcome 2012

Meditation is a gift you give to yourself...the best way to get started is to punctuate your day with 3 minutes of mindfulness. Start small and set a goal to aim towards 10mins a day. There are large volumes of research documenting the value of this practice for the human condition.

This short clip was taken at Nannup Hideaway Spa Cottages in the beautiful south west of Western Australia on full moon. It aims to elicit the Relaxation Response for your body, mind and spirit.

Remember that it is not what you do occasionally that creates lasting change...it is what you do consistently...

Pure Consciousness aims to enhance Wellness for those who have a Pure Intent to change the quality of their life experience...The body is self healing, all you need to do is to be able to let the life force do it's work.

My intention is to facilitate balance and provide a tranquil space of grace to enter. To feel life's rhythm, to notice the sacred order and to see the gifts and opportunities for growth in the most challenging of situations are some of the many gifts that you may become aware of through the courses I facilitate.

In every moment of our lives we are choosing between safety and growth, In choosing to open ourselves to deeper insights and personal transformations and realizations, we come to recognize that there is more to living than mere existence and more to life than mere survival.

Namaste and enjoy...

This is just the beginning.

New Tools for Your Tool Box

Using your instincts or intuition is not something that you may consciously consider on a daily basis. However sometimes when we are literally stopped through illness, change of circumstance or misfortune it may pay you to get in touch with skills and abilities that are beyond our everyday thought processes...

Let's face it...thinking is addictive! The mind is a live stream of both constructive and not so constructive processes...and we can become consumed with the tiny part of reality that we can percieve with our senses...This leads us to having lop sided perceptions about a range of experiences that we polarize into good or bad, happy or sad...Negative emotions are often put in the too hard basket as it takes courage to have a deep look at what's not working in our lives...Too often there are many distractions to take us away from feeling and learning and to gain distance from our thoughts takes training and a level of discipline...

Pure Consciousness offers you many different tools to refine your ability to elevate your perceptions and enrich your life experience. My mission in life is to research, refine and explore systems of personal transformation and self education and I attract only those with a pure intent to improve the quality of the life they are living.

I have recently added a new tool called The Equiliberation Process which for those who are time poor, allows you to clear an issue which may have been caught in an emotional cycle...This process allows you to work through issues that have not been resolved in your consciousness so that you can percieve the wholeness of the situation and experience the situation from an elevated perspective...It allows your energy attachment to be cleared. You will know the type of issue that I speak of as they tend to repeat themselves, cycle after cycle...until you have gained the clarity to evolve the immortal nature of the heart. This process allows you to cease blaming others or yourself for your situation and allows you to percieve the gifts that were inherent there at the same time. Your job is to identify what needs to be worked on and have the courage to bring it to the table. These sessions are one on one, private and confidential. For more information please contact me.

Pure LUCK! Its the Preparation that counts!

This morning, I awoke and happened to look at a collage that I had created in my early 20's that I felt represented my essence. I had just bought my first computer and was having fun playing with clip art. As I glanced at it...I thought..I would like to put that up again somewhere as it really captures how I feel...Let me explain...

The sentiment is how I choose to feel and the images are the essence of who I know I am. I am an adventurer, I love to travel to and explore the mysteries of the universe, I am constantly unveiling transforming and transmuting negative unconscious beliefs and I work in strong partnerships with those that are around me. I look for beauty in the world around me and know that every negative emotion is the impetus for positive change. I believe that just as the universe is billions upon billions larger than what we can perceive, so is the universe within.
I welcome new life and seek to value and nurture my children to stand on my shoulders and elevate their perspective of the world. I know I am a lucky girl.

The pictures on the page are as valid to me now as they were when I first created the document. It has been my blueprint.

After glancing at the picture this morning...I ran around with the kids and then head over to my local shopping centre to enter a competition that would allow me to win a fashion voucher. The irony was that I had tried to enter the day before but the centre had run out of surprise envelopes for that day...The kind lady advised me to come back tomorrow...(that being today)...Lucky or unlucky? I chose to view it as lucky as I would have more chances to win...You could enter this lucky dip with a receipt as little as $10 and as I had just spent a considerable amount of money on a new modem ($200) and printer ink ($100). So I thought why not? I head back to the centre in the pouring rain this morning and handed in my receipts for validation and to my surprise and pure delight I received a $250 voucher for my efforts...WOW!!!
It has made my day and reaffirmed to me that when I choose my attitude about the way in which I perceive my world...what I perceive I receive.

The synchronicity of life has no co-incidence. I choose to align my spirt with the purest perspective and what I focus on, I get more of...

Do you wish you were rich? Then you are feeling poor!
Do you wish you were not a negative person - then you are empowering the very thing you wish you were not...
We don't get what we desire - we get what we are...and the most beautiful part is that only you can define that perspective...You create the life you experience by acknowledging you thoughts and feelings. Often we are so busy creating the physical and mental experience of our world, we bundle and safely package and wrap the emotions for another day...However these act as blocks that prevent you from manifesting the life that you want...It is when you are not attached to any outcome that you receive the outcome you want...

Our state just not just happen...it is defined by our thoughts ( which we can choose) and our feelings. (which we need to feel). Our feelings are our greatest gift and teacher.

This blueprint that I have for my life, is not defined by things but the feelings that those pictures evoke...My life is rich because I see the value in the painful times, in teaching me something about my life that I may not have necessarily been inspired to learn, had their been only good times...

Twenty five years later, I have travelled the world, I have been married to a beautiful man who is now with me in spirit. I have had beautiful children and I continue to do the work that it takes to refine my physical vessel, and my emotional and mental state.

Through meditation I connect with the spirit, light and power of my soul. I am aware of the way in which my mind can work and actively seek to grow and change and develop new ways of doing more with less...


Last night I had facilitated my fourth Pure Consciousness Meditation for Relaxation Level One course and I felt extremely lucky to be in the right place at the right time with the right people.


Their testimonials were as follows:

Shelley Tucker: (Canningvale) " I can move forward , live in the moment, stop worrying about things that may never happen. I have learnt how to relax and create space. I think positive and know change can happen"

Sonia Brooks; (Sorrento)" I can believe in myself. Trust in life's process. I have learnt to meditate. I will continue of my new beginning and continue on with the next course to align myself to my true values."

Di Ridley(Harrisdale) "Being part of a group made the experience more intense and by coming to group sessions, has made me experience things I didn't think were possible. This course is more personalized and you are able to put the techniques into practice based on your own experience. I have learnt to let go and trust that I can do things I have never been able to do before (meditate). I will continue to try to meditate at home, use my voice to let people know what I need and be more concsious of my own emotional needs."

So today when I awoke I first chose to align myself with my spirit by sitting in front of a candle for the first 5 minutes of my day. It is there that I hear my essence, (my core). I had the intention take another baby step to eliminate the amount of stimulants I have in my diet.

I was grateful for my bag of lemons that Sonia, (one of the course participants) had brought for me on the last night...Infact I am grateful for all the resources that find their way to me...I know that luck is preparation meeting opportunity...

Are you going to commit to making some small change to create space, to value your life and realign with the power and light of your spirit? Do you have your own blueprint?

Pure Consciousness can and does help those who have a need to change their alignment and the quality of the energy with which they choose to live their life...Why not find out more today? YOU DESERVE IT!

Change Your Consciousness - Change Your Reality...

Redefining Our Connection to Self

What is Pure Consciousness?

Essentially Pure Consciousness allows us to be in charge of our own healing process through focussing on the unique spiritual capacity of every human being to be in an alert non-judgemental attentiveness to one's thoughts, actions and feelings.

When we practice this mediative approach to life we discover the unchanging eternal centre of watchfulness - the centre which has the capacity to be creative and invent solutions to the challenges that we face. The same centre that allows us to become aware of the thoughts, feelings and actions which may be causing us to be in a state of unconscious stress or dissatisfaction which leads to a state of disconnectedness.

Ironically this disconnection will compell us to look for satisfaction and connection in a world of temporary external experiences and if left unchecked this underlying restlessness will encourage us to stay in a state of unbalance and excess, driving us to extremes inorder to numb our current reality...All of the tools of modern life ( eg. mobiles and text, computers - emails and Facebook) all can undermine our connection to what is real and if over utilized tend to replace real relationships and mirror the relationship you begin to have with yourself. Is your relationship with yourself similar to that on your Facebook Page...100 or so possible connections but nothing deeper than the images posted or casual one liners?

I define rich, not in the assets you own but in the relationships you have in this lifetime...Do they mirror your connection that you have with yourself? Can they weather conflict? Do they have enough depth to survive the storms that present in life? The most important relationship and the only one you can really rely upon and/or change, is the relationship you have with yourself. Self doubt is an insidious creation of the ego from which there can be little respite if you are too busy to go within...Fear is there to guide and protect you if you're willing to experience it. Every emotion, experience and person in your life is there to help you evolve. Each has it's purpose to define and refine the quality of your life and the filter with which you view it.

The Pure Consciousness Course- Meditation and You... facilitates spiritual insights and mindfulness techniques in a way that is fun and creative. The relaxation response actively heals and breaks the bondages of the mind and nurtures one's individuality and sense of equilibrium. The journey of self discovery is absolutely unique to each individual - whilst the core truths to be discovered are the same regardless of race, gender, class or religious upbringing. This course will allow you to relax, reflect, refine and refocus the lens with which you view your life.

Pure Consciousness is a tool for the modern times that helps you to tune into your compassion, heightened sensitivity, courage and individuality. It is not about denying the outer world and focussing only on the inner world - it is about BALANCE...Allowing yourself to enjoy the depth of connection, understandings and wisdom and bringing balance to a modern life that doesn't always provide the time and space for the type of healing we require.

Balance...Boredom and Popular Culture....

In today's world of "Extreme Makeovers" it seems that lifestyle is everything but it's your ability to take life to the extreme that gives you cudos... The young and trendy not so young seem to treat having an addiction to exercise, retail therapy, computer games, their mobile phone, a brand name or a hobby as a good or trendy thing to have..How often have you heard the term "I'm addicted to..." bandied around in light conversation...and whilst used as an attention getter...just continues to promote the illusion that going above and beyond for physical gratification is so okay...Pharmaceutical companies are getting wealthier and wealthier on the inventions of their next quick fix...regardless of the impact on society at large...

For example we face epidemic levels of attachement to prescription drugs and their use, is seen as normal...Infact any performance enhancers are no longer discretely discussed...they are advertised as yet another quick fix to your problems...Did you know that the largest prescribed drug for women in Australia, in the last five years has gone from the pill to anti-depressants?...Is there any wonder we find it difficult to balance our wants and needs... when the causes are not treated...only the symtopms...

This perpetuates an insatiable adrenalin enhanced lifestyle...which just makes you run a little harder on the "had to be there" treadmill. We are so focussed on the highs that the inevitable accompanying lows keep us on the hyped up roller coaster of the busy modern world and inevitably numb our senses and lead us to exhaustion at the end of the day/week/month.

Tell tale signs that you are running on adrenalin and living an addictive lifestyle is that you need to control everything, find it difficult to do nothing and making unrealistic to do lists for the day...or that you think if only I had_____________ I'd be happy.

Values account for much of how time is spent by any individual and your own personal definition of "making it" and "success"..."Life is short so play hard or go home..."is the motto for many...However if you have lost your passion for what you have always done and all that used to bring you pleasure no longer does...It is time to stop, relax, reassess and learn something new.

Creating balance need not be boring.

True inspiration knows the challenges and opportunity costs but allows you to empower yourself regardless...If you somehow feel like you're missing a bigger picture..perhaps you are looking in the wrong places?

If you dwell in the past or the future - one used to exist but no longer does and the other has even started yet...Doing something because you are addicted...means the ego is involved...and that means what you think of me is more important than what I think of myself...Doing something because you love it on the other hand...is from you inspiration, your true purpose and path...

What happens when the lines are blurred????When something you are addicted to...is also something you love? You need to reframe...Are you in someway avoiding feeling pain? Are you unable to stop thinking, thinking and more thinking...

If you are finding more ways to gain more speed then you may have the belief that life is running out...Your Ego gives you a identity in society and your physcial senses will never be able to be fill the void if you remain satisfied with it.

The lows are there to alert you to the fact that you are alive and there is some authentic growth to be done. Life is full of endings and beginnings. Letting go and trusting that you are always in the right place at the right time, can be difficult when we face extreme loss, grief, or change...However we learn the most from these times if we are open to feeling the difficult feelings that are there. Anger can be clarifying - all feelings are ok. That it is to be human...it's how we act as a result of them that is the clue.

Everything in moderation is the wise old saying. Balance needn't be boring.
Making sense of our world occurs when we choose to relax. If we have to go on endlessly achieving - we will not know the gifts of the environment we are in. Every heart, every experience comes to teach us...even if it is only what we don't want. Happiness is purely relative to how we make sense of the bigger picture... After all, we who live in the Western World, live in the top 5% of the world's population...all our physcial needs of food, shelter and clothing are met relatively well next to the other 95%.

Being relaxed and at home in your own heart all depends on your perspective and ability to make sense of the challenges that come your way. You are the light within, not the lamp but the flame. The more you love this comfortable space within, the less need you will have to be addicted to anything external...prescribed or not, legal or not...Our generation has alot to be accountable for and the way in which we use language and normalize certain behaviours in the midst of being youthful and cool, fun and carefree. The next time you admit that you are addicted to something...ask yourself if you can rephrase it by saying..."I really love....." It all starts with a thought...True freedom comes from balance and being totally in the present. Being addicted means that short term pleasures are going to lead to long term pain. If you are ready to go deeper, to change the patterns of behaviour and to find space to rejuvenate, meditation can help.

Pure Consciousness Meditations assist to find that space within.
