Surviving the Washing Machine of Life...

This blog is inspired by a brief conversation I had with a fellow mum at school this morning...She likened her life during the school  term to a Washing Machine...getting the load in and out, rushing to make it on time here there and everywhere and constantly feeling tossed and turned like the clothes in a washing machine...

I thought her comments were a clever analogy and I must admit I know the dread of being in that washing machine.

I know this feeling only too well. Life has a way of tossing and turning you upside down...when you least expect it and you find yourself confronted with big decisions...you never dreamed you would have to make.

Sometimes it is easy to feel trapped in a place of no choice because of financial pressure and listening to your heart just is not the practical option.

Intuition is rarely practical but it is amazing how things turn out for those who dare to create change in the direction of their  hearts. Aligning your focus with your highest vision for your life is scary as it means you will need to let go of something in order to attract in something new. The same principle is true of learning...In order to learn something new, you need to let of something you thought to be true and the person that thinks they know it all cannot change, grow or evolve. It is a risk.

For true change to be invited it is important to acknowledge the depth and height of your situation and the opportunities and opportunity costs it initiates. You have established yourself in this situation to learn, grow and move beyond what you don't want. You may not like it at times but it is familiar and familiar is somewhat more comforting than the threat of life being out of your control. This is not a judgement of good or bad...it can be just they way things are from time to time.

There are pluses and minuses to all situations in life...the key to understand how well it is working for you is your attitude to it all. This is not to say that this gorgeous mum had a bad attitude...far from it...This amazing mum always radiates a positive nature...and makes the best of her life daily. The intent to this blog is to stop and recognize the energy it takes, to allow all of our life events to move through us like wind blowing through leaves on a big old tree. Roots firmly planted moving with grace and our spirit being able to move beyond being earthbound and growing wings to fly to creative heights of your intuitive imagination. You may have an inkling that there may be a better way of juggling your life circumstances..often that inkling is right.

If life is passing you by and everyday feels like a bad hair day...not enough time, not enough money, not enough spontaneity...this work life balance clearly needs to be refined.

The truth is we live in an abundant world...we live in the richest country and we have the most resources per person across the globe to dispose of. The most expensive resource  which we seem to undervalue is our time.

I crossed another Mum's path this morning who had just cut back her work hours. She radiated lightness of energy. Her comment was that she was not going to get this time back with her children. It was a brave move but one that paid immediate dividends.

The truth is we all need to find our own sense of balance and what works for each of us in our own unique growth pattern..Sometimes in order to achieve such clarity we need to align ourselves with those activities that allow us to relax. Continually functioning on adrenalin taxes our body in many, many ways over time.

We may be able to send our kids to the finest schools, enable them to pursue most interesting extra-curricular activities and take them on exciting holidays but what use is all of that when you are feeling tossed, turned, frazzled and displaced. Our kids resonate with us more than what we know and they in turn then reflect back to us...our unloved parts. The stress that we would prefer to run from and eventually run into.

Negative emotions can be the motivation for positive change if you are open to stop running from them.
The dark and the difficult are as necessary as the light and the easy...each compliment each other in turning challenges into strengths...However even our strengths eventually turn into our challenges over time...such is the duality of life. WE ARE ALL CONTINUALLY EVOLVING and we are exactly where we need to be for the next stage of growth.

Pure Consciousness offers a place of respite and relaxation. A place of pure space and intent for you to be born anew. Pure Consciousness develops skills designed to assist you to find your true North and allow your mental, emotional, physical self to integrate with your spirit, allowing you to be centered in the height and depth of your current life experience.

Shelley Tucker of Canningvale explains the effect of the Pure Consciousness Meditation and You Course on her life in the following testimonial:

"As a result of completing the course, I can move forward, live in the moment, stop worrying about things that may never happen. I have learnt to relax and create space for my own meditation.

Firstly I had very little knowledge of meditation and heard about it and was curious, after my first session was very impressed with what I got out of it. I saw this as the beginning of an adventure and knew that this was for me.

I found each session very pleasant and welcoming and it really created positive changes for me. It has prepared me to face the future with acceptance.

The science behind why we think the way we do and how we can all change was amazing. I looked forward to every session and went away very positive looking forward to all the challenges that life presents. Changes didn't happen overnight but I'm sure they happened much faster as a result.

I had no idea what a major turning point this was to be in my life and my hope that it's best years lie ahead, I am on a mission.!'

"Progress is difficult to define because it depends on who is doing the defining..."

Micheal Chorost - Science Writer based in Washington DC wrote in the New Scientist 2012
"Progress is difficult to define because it depends on who is doing the defining"

How do you define progress? Is it by the new house that you aspire to live in one day? The new car? The next job or the next experience that will  move you away from pain and closer to pleasure?


Our definition of progress is purely relevant to the challenges that we perceive we are up against. We may be moving in a certain direction and then out of the blue (or so it seems) a catastrophe happens and we become constrained and our development is taken in a new direction...or is it?


In the billions of years that this planet has been evolving...there has been one catastrophe after another. As the universe has evolved and aged, the systems within it have grown ever more complex. Once the earth was nothing more than a piece of hot molten rock circling the sun...A collision with a huge meterorite allowed the moon to be born and slowly the earth has evolved from being amongst the stars and galaxies, into a planet with bacteria, plants, animals, brains, societies and technologies.


Put into this context we can see the sophistication over time and earth and it's inhabitant's development has continued to move in a direction. Evolution though subjected to ice ages, fire, flood and natural disaster has been constrained from time to time but evolved just the same. Direction however has not defined purpose.


Your definition of progress will definatively define the purpose behind your motivations.
It will influence not only what you do but how you go about it...


To me being able to step outside of your comfort zone and take a risk...is a sign of progress. To not fear failure but be able to feel the joy of taking steps in the direction of your dreams is progress, To me stopping still long enough to move beyond the logistics of your life into self care, nurture and education is progress.
To me being able to acknowledge, feel and move beyond the frightened parts of your personality is progress.


To understand change is the natural order of things and to be able to recharge your spirit and reinvent the parts your personality that are not in alignment with the you. that you know you can be, is progress. 




How do you define progress? It really is a question worth pondering...

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.

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...

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!
