The Pure Consciousness Experience

Turning Negatives into Positives
 The following testimonial is a note that was pasted on my facebook page last week by one of my clients - Thea.
 
"Today I lost my iphone whilst running the dog, for a moment I panicked...this was not the first time the first time the universe had warned me to get a grip on reality and out of cyberspace...
I went back to search for the phone with my kids...and had the best experience with them...by the river...tranquil and peaceful...I watched them be children...innocent and full of life and wondered how they came to be so wonderful. My daughter sang with her heart and my son ran like the wind. We all enjoyed the comfort of our company.
It was a test for me, to remind me of what mattered the most. Thanks for your help and teaching me how to be present, open my heart to the love that exists within me and enjoy the peaks and plateaus of life as it unfolds xox"

About Sorelle Miller:
Sorelle Miller is a contemporary meditation teacher who has combined the contemplative practices of the East with the most usable, relevant scientific information and research of the West, to deliver Wellness programs that are insightful, fun and informative, designed specifically to elicit the Relaxation Response.

Sorelle’s techniques are varied and designed specifically for the individual or group, to quickly allow you to slow your thinking, increase your awareness and develop your ability to trust your own intuition.

Sorelle was born in Perth Western Australia and is of Asian descent, her family originating in Myanmar.  Her passion for systems of self education that promote resilience and total health and well being began with the completion of a  Bachelor of Arts Degree  in Education and Psychology .  Sorelle became a primary school teacher and aerobics instructor in her early twenties and continued to expand her focus on health and wellbeing after completing a Graduate Diploma in Business.  Sorelle’s personal growth and development has been enhanced by a variety of courses of study and travel around the world, shifting the focus from head to heart based knowledge.  Her passion to learn and immerse herself in the healing philosophies of different cultures and religions has inspired her to travel to many countries and locations around the world. Specifically the Navaho countryside of Utah and Arizona, Monument Valley, Death Valley, the Grand Canyon, the Mayan Ruins  in Mexico, the Stonehenge in England,  Vatican City in Rome,  the Pyramids of Egypt and marry in the 130 million year old rainforests in Terranganu, Malaysia.

 Her inspiration to strengthen and consolidate her skills to fully engage in meditative practices began in 2001 with the birth of her first child, balancing a career as a facilitator and sole parent as her husband worked offshore for long periods of time. At this time Sorelle facilitated and developed a variety of personal growth courses in Self Esteem, Communication and Parenting for a local Non Profit community group. Simultaneously Sorelle explored many alternative meditative processes that would deepen one’s ability to align the energy systems of one’s thoughts to reduce stress and found that her techniques were being requested by many of her course participants. In 2002 Sorelle was one of the first in Australia to participate and certify in Doreen Virtue’s Angel Intuitive Program. In addition she has explored Reiki, Luxor Light Meditations and the practical strategies of Kinesiology.

 Sorelle’s interest in Neural Linguistic Programming and Neuroplasticity began in 2007 when her  husband became a paraplegic. Sorelle’s husband had a motorbike land on his chest at a racetrack in Perth and suffered extreme pain from a myriad of injuries. The sudden change of circumstance impacted Sorelle’s philosophy and life direction immensely. Through this traumatic time, Sorelle’s resilience and ability to focus wholeheartedly on what needed to be done,  tested the skill set that she had developed over the years.  However the gift of this situation was that she saw her life purpose with new eyes.  Sorelle focused with intent on the skills she had developed and also educated herself about the brain’s ability to rewire itself, with the research of Norman Doige. Fortunately, her husband had been accepted into a 6 million dollar study into Neuroplasticity at Curtin University. However just as the program was about to commence in 2009, Sorelle endured the tragic passing of her husband unexpectedly. As part of her healing journey, Sorelle chose to travel to Chaing Mai, Thailand to study the art of playing the Tibetan Bowls and bells with a Tibetan shaman who is renowned in his field of healing.


The combination of her educational background, insight, intuition and ability to cope with grief has allowed Sorelle to recognize her true purpose in sharing these gifts and coping mechanisms with others. 

Sorelle’s philosophy focuses on balance, awareness and your perception of the world around you and facilitating an understanding of the structures of the personality and mind that move you from ease to dis-ease. 

Her inspiration for life and down to earth authenticity is exemplified in her work in which her mission is to introduce effective, sustainable wellness for individuals in their life and provide them with the tools to enable, empower and inspire life balance to achieve total health.  Her gift specialises in meditative processes facilitating the Relaxation Response to enable individuals to shift mindset and achieve enhanced wellness whilst improving their self awareness and mental clarity. 

The fast-paced life-forces of this century has eroded humanity of the ability to recognize and deal with the mental and emotional confusion that arises out of coping with the complexities of everyday life.  Total Health and Life Balance through a state of Pure Consciousness provides as a catalyst to help us deal with the challenge of living in the 22nd century!

Changing Direction

Today I contemplated exactly what experiences I wanted to align myself with for the future. It's very exciting to write a Business Plan when it involves your life's purpose. Knowing it is half the battle, however then pursuing it and building it with a solid foundation of TRUST IN THE FUTURE YOU CANNOT SEE is another experience yet again.

So often in life, we reach a point in time when we definitely know that we need to let go of something in order to create something new. If your glass is full, there is no room for anything else. Just how do you do this in times of rapid change, financial responsibilities and information overload.

I have a secret I want to share...
  • First you need to stop. 
  •  Second you need to feel.
  •  Third you need to surrender.

It's amazing, we are all so good at being busy. We will often ignore the warning signs that something needs to change. It's not like we haven't had that experience before, as with each phase in life brings endings and new beginnings. However what has changed is our need to control it all, to cause the least discomfort possible.

I have been juggling and juggling this last year. Well aware of my financial responsibilities to my two children and myself, I have attempted transitioning into a new career in a safe fashion...Still holding onto the old, and chunking off  the new. However with every opportunity there is an opportunity cost. Over the last two months I have been feeling the costs...literally...I have come too far to want to go backwards...however I have reached a kind of middle limbo...doing everything part time but not seeming to get the results I really want.

However in my moments of fear and doubt...something wonderful has transpired. I have realized that unlike the me of the past...I no longer numb myself so that  I cannot feel the pain of change. Through the skills and knowledge I have acquired, I realize that I have come a really long way in my readiness for change. I stop each morning before the day begins. I feel the adrenalin that runs through my veins as a result of the many outcomes I want to achieve for the day and I then surrender to the this present moment.

This brings such great respite. It brings such clarity. It's okay because I now know that these feelings don't last and I can choose my alignment in my life. I choose to be grateful. I choose to allow my fears to inspire me in a direction that is less frantic, more nurturing and understanding that I am worth the discipline it takes to make the necessary changes. The direction now is not about being the BEST IN THE WORLD (ego driven)...it is about BEING THE BEST FOR MY WORLD. (Emanating from my essence.)

In feeling my resistance, I notice my fear, embrace it and  surrender my limitations...as they are often just old conditioning and belief systems that need upgrading.

So, if you find yourself wanting to change direction but are fearful of the consequences...Take a moment and stop. Give yourself the space to feel your feelings. Allow what challenges you to inspire a new level of self awareness and self worth. You do deserve this time. You can take one small step today to appreciate yourself in a new way and empower yourself to know...that your limitations begin mentally and as you allow yourself to think in new ways...Energy follows thought...you will feel yourself being in new ways...

Affirmation: I allow the light of my awareness to shine brightly, illuminate the darkness and support my growth. I am brave. I am strong. I let go of  past disappointments and humbly move forward knowing I am worth the effort it takes to change and realign my thoughts.

Namaste
Sorelle

Movie Review "The Descendants" with George Clooney

Today I decided to listen to my body and give it a rest...

In our adrenalin fueled busy world this is no mean feat...especially for a single mum like me:)

However I do surrender to my body as I value it's wisdom and inorder to focus on rest I hired a movie called "The Descendants" with an old favourite of mine...Mr George Clooney.

Life is a mirror and this movie is a fantastic look at the frailities of humanity. There is adrenalin, infidelity, illusion, unruly children and teens,. money. power. greed and the duality of peace. forgiveness. loyalty  acceptance, respect and joy with a bit of humor thrown in!

It is about a father who is a lawyer, who is so busy making money and providing above and beyond for the monetary needs of his family who is woken up to the state of dysfunction within his family unit by a serious accident involving his sporty,  adrenalin fueled wife. The movie is set in Hawaii and has many important themes in our busy modern day lives. At one point the main character reflects that the members of his family are like the island state of Hawaii  ...all separate but functioning under the same identity.

This movie touched me to the core as it so beautifully illustrated the depths of illusion and denial that we can operate in when it comes to having a serious look within. The parts of our actions and attitudes that we disown, often show up in our nearest and dearest...that being our children.

From many ancient teachings... the cycle of life exists in a triangle of build, maintain and destroy.
The first generation build, the second generation maintain and the third generation (if they do not hold the same values) often destroy. It is in the destruction of the old that a new level of understanding and growth can appear. It also cleverly depicts the need to live fully, love fully and let go fully. The third part of the equation requiring introspection and forgiveness.


For me personally, it mirrored my own journey through life. For those that don't know me...My husband and I were adrenalin junkies in another life. Totally for goal setting and pushing ourselves harder, stronger and faster way beyond what often was humanly possible. My husband worked offshore in an adrenalin fuelled industry and when he came home he rode motorbikes...to keep the level of adrenalin going. In balance this is ok...however when have you lost the balance...like a junkie it is very hard to slow down. If you miss the signs, life has a way of bringing you to your knees.

In the cycle of build, maintain and destroy...my husbands motorbike accident, paraplegia with extreme complications and then death two years later has come with extreme pain but also a multitude of blessings.

There is one line in the movie when the George Clooney's character states:
"Goodbye my love, goodbye my pain, goodbye my joy, Goodbye my love"

I love this line because it reminds us that if we are aware of the reality of life...
you will know that emotions are incomplete states of awareness.
You cannot have a pleasure without a pain, or a pain without a pleasure.
For every opportunity there is an opportunity cost.

Grief is an assumption (along with years of conditioning) that who ever or what ever you  miss had more benefits that drawbacks. Yet we are sent of of it...the support and the challenge to learn. In reality it is human nature to create a value from a void...so when we don't have something or someone or we are faced with the threat of losing them, we value whatever it is even more.

So today I chose to make an opportunity out of an opportunity cost of being a bit under the weather. I chose to value the guidance system of my physical body and value it's awareness to nurture myself back to health.

YOUR HEALTH and YOUR MINDSET are your biggest assets...The best way to expand the use and effectiveness of your energy is to become more aware of it.

Extreme adrenalin fuelled highs are always accompanied with an extreme low...the difference with the meditative life is your ability to balance and self correct...To have reflective awareness is to  be able to shift your mindset out of lopsides emotions and systematically release them. This is the business of Pure Consciousness...you are not only taught the beautiful tool of meditation but also a range of strategies and techniques to create wellness and re align your mindset.

I highly recommend this movie...a beautiful reminder that it doesn't matter what's on paper. A family is made not by a marriage or birth certificate but by the time put in to communicate, understand differences, compromise and reflect on what is working and not working.

A film well worth watching...Namaste

GOING WITH THE FLOW...Looking at the OPPORTUNITIES THAT PRESENT ...

Going with the flow...we all know intuitively that we need to trust the ebb and flow of life...but how often do we hear ourselves say..."If ONLY...THEN...I could rest, relax...be happy".

This week I chose to go with the opportunities that lay in front of me...which meant late, late nights and early starts...I was fortunate enough to speak to a good friend on the Monday evening when all seemed quite daunting to help me realign my thoughts from...
"I haven't got enough time and energy to get through this week..."
to
"I live in a state of balance, all that I create all that I need to create what I want...."


I also consciously chose to listen to my body...I was conscious that my adrenalin levels were already high to meet my deadlines... I needed to work with my circumstance...in that I didn't need my usual "hour of power" to start the day...(20mins meditation, 20mins exercise, 20mins visualization) I needed to get as much sleep as possible  so the 20 minutes meditation was the only practical option...I needed to stop, recharge before I got ready for the next day...

The main thought that kept me going was that "THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY"...

and whilst I kept my thoughts positive and level of endurance high...with my mindset...

my daughters reflected back to me the parts I was ignoring...
"Mum I have a sore back...Mum I don't feel welll"

So today the UNIVERSE has red flagged me and asked me to stop...

I am grateful for the guidance...I am looking after my little girl today because that is what is required in this present moment...I listen, I trust and I take guided action...

Wiith every opportunity cost, there is an opportunity and vice verser...

The key is to listen...the solution is always there if we go with the flow...

and choose to align our best efforts with what is needed in the moment...

Wishing you peace in your day today and may you go with the flow...

CREATING YOUR GLOBAL MISSION...WHAT DO YOU WANT AS YOUR DESTINY???

I truly believe that by knowing what you value in life and in commiting pen to paper and writing down your mission...you get more of what you focus on...For the last 5 years I have been affirming that I utilize technology with ease (LOL!!!)  and am supported in my process of learning and expansion. By this process I receive equally pure hearted and beautifully honest individuals driven by the highest intent. The dynamics of our combined integrity and commitment to authentic growth allow my operation in personal development, leadership, meditation and  mindset training to become one of the highest recommended  and sort after locally, nationally and internationally...BOLD I KNOW!!!YOU HAVE TO THINK GLOBAL!!!!

I am supported by a large number of professional services who are on the same page and heartfelt in wanting my business to prosper, succeed and influence a variety of people in their every day lives...This type of mentality is called a"horizon mentality"...In that you have a big, big picture of how you would like your life to unfold with the highest intent for your purposefulness on the planet. John Demartini calls this your "telos".

Well to date this has been manifesting slowly over the last three years...Given Pure Consciousness is only 3 years young. I am supported by my local doctors at the Southlands Medical Surgery and, thanks to the vision of Dr Andrew Ong...co founder of the Australian Institute of Holistic Medicine, my local Naturopaths and beauticians...and this has generally spread out more and more as I focus about my mission and articulate the  vision for my life which is: to connect people to their creativity and intuition and create a tranquil space for grace to enter and to research, explore and refine methods of self education and self care, that combines the lastest western scientific research  based techniques and align these with the ancient wisdoms and tools of the East to promote balance and authentic growth.

So imagine my delight today when I received a wonderful recommendation in the http://www.newagestore.com/favorites.aspx by a beautiful earth angel called Jen who is the founder of this site of guidance and inspiration.  I was lucky enough to spend some heartfelt time on the Cruise ship the Royal Oasis with the Masterminds of the Carribean. Birds of a feather flock together...

Please check out this amazing site and what she has to say about the new Pure Consciousness CD...

Pure Consciousness is all about you deciding to change the course of your life and aligning it with your highest values. I teach by example and my path is illuminated by the voice of my intuition. My hope for you,is that by becoming truly centred and by seeing the value in your own life, that you will be able to do the same.
