Simone's Story

Blessings dear one. The following story touches on my journey thus far, the highs, the lows and the opening of my heart to the One Heart. I share this with you in the hope that it helps you too to open up to the Divine Love of the Universe, to face your fears and live as a magnificent light being, a god-goddess of light.

The Early Years - remembering & forgetting

During my childhood I loved to play with my friends outdoors, my so called 'imaginary' friends the fairies, angels and nature devas. For hours we would laugh, sing, dance and play and my world was filled with much love and beauty. My spirit guide was my best friend and he would take me flying in my dreams, comfort me when I was upset and give me much love and encouragement to learn. I knew I was always safe and protected. On many a night I would lay in bed and watch all the coloured lights float around my room and it never once occurred to me that not everyone saw their Angels and other celestial energies. Their presence was a comfort to me and I felt eternally loved.

When I started school and made new friends, I lost contact with my 'special' friends. I lost the gift of vision and over time lost contact with them completely. Of course they were all still with me, loving, protecting and comforting me in every way but I was no longer aware of their presence. Over the years growing up there were lots of miraculous events and angelic inspirations, yet I most usually rationalised these as 'coincidences' or chose to ignore them completely. I had always been a sensitive, meaning I knew what other people were feeling and often thinking, could predict events and had this innate sense of knowing and of a higher purpose. I had always felt different, like I didn't belong here on earth, so I did not want to allow any unusual events in my life to ostracize me any further from my school friends. All I wanted to do was fit in and be like everyone else, so I chose to hide the truth.

In my early-twenties I was residing in Sydney, Australia and living quite an affluent lifestyle. I had attended University and completed a Bachelor of Commerce Degree, and was working as an Operations Manager for a Merchant Bank. On the outside I seemed to have it all but on the inside I was desperately unhappy. I could no longer find the meaning for life, why I was here, why my relationship/s weren't working and why I always felt different? How can I have it all yet feel I have nothing and feel so empty inside? As my career was progressing and I was fast tracking the corporate ladder, my health was declining at an even faster rate. The more I pushed in my career the sicker I got. I could not understand why nothing seemed to be working for me. Surely this was not what life was all about ?

Alcohol, food and drugs became a wonderful diversion to the pain I was feeling. Abusing substances was a great way to stuff down the unhappiness deep inside of me. Growing up as a teenager I often abused alcohol to make me feel as if I 'fitted in'. In my teens I felt desperately unloved. I had been sexually abused at fourteen and at that point completely shut down my gift of 'feeling'. Even though my family were loving and supportive, I really believed I was not loveable and substance abuse killed the pain and made things better, or so I thought!

The re-awakening

At 26, in the face of extreme emotional and physical exhaustion I arrived home from work late one night (14 hour days were the norm back then) and was faced with an emotional and verbally abusive confrontation with my then husband. I was depleted and had nothing left to give, let alone the strength to argue, so I walked out the door and went for a long walk. Although I had lost contact with my angels, fairy friends and my spirit guides and had turned my back on who I was, I felt desperate for help and needed a way out of my problems. I vividly remember throwing my arms up to the sky, looking up to the stars and saying 'Is this what my life is about ? Is this what I planned for? I just don't get it ? Give me a reason to go on as I no longer wish to continue in this life?'. Then at that moment a voice entered my being, a deep yet warm and comforting voice that said

"…my dear one it is time for you to reclaim your life as a healer and teacher, go and study natural medicine to set you on your path.."

This was my turning point. These words trembled through my whole being and I knew there was no turning back. My heart chakra had been opened, and I was feeling again for the first time in years. I felt a complete lightness of being, and as I stood on the darkened street I was emanating this soft glow. I felt loved. I cried for hours afterwards…tears of happiness as I felt my reconnection with spirit and tears of sadness as I felt the pain I had created in my life and needed to release. I knew in my heart and my whole being that the time had come and I was beginning to see my illuminated path. I had never felt more sure about anything in my entire life. I had led my life up to that point always wanting to do what was best for others, to please them, seek their approval and be loved. I was now about to embark on a new journey of doing something for me. Learning to love myself and respecting my own needs would allow me to help and heal many people in more ways than I could ever imagine was possible.

I began to let love back into my life as I reunited with my spirit friends. My angels and guides helped me to peel away the layers, release the emotional pain and open my heart so I could accept healing and learn to love myself again. This process has taken many years and I am still on a path of self discovery. With the help of many beautiful people in my life as well as energy healing, vibrational medicines, herbs and of course my passion and love for crystals, my angels are bringing much healing and love into my life. I am ever so thankful for their unconditional love, light and guidance.

The re-re-awakening (yes I am a light-being in a human body!)

It was early October 2003 and my life was on the pinnacle of change. I was running a very successful Naturopathic practice on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, remarried to a wonderful man named Shaun Matthews and raising two beautiful children together. Life was hectic at times and we had our ups and downs, but the love the four of us shared was real.

My practice had grown quite rapidly since relocating from Brisbane. Clients were getting wonderful results and I felt I was genuinely helping people to heal and make positive changes in their lives. Yet I also knew something was missing. I was still grappling with the issue of my own spirituality and felt uncomfortable speaking openly about my visions, conversations with my 'friends' and so called coincidences. I was putting on a professional front to clients, trying to be the person I thought they wanted me to be for fear of retribution, being condemned for my beliefs or labelled as some 'new age quack'. I was being authentic on the inside but not the outside.

I had been running evening meditation classes utilising the concept of Crystal Light Healing ™ for the last couple of years but my spiritual growth, and hence the growth of my students, was being stunted as I wasn't fully embracing who I was.

This charade of non-authenticity I managed to uphold for many years. When prescribing herbs I would often use my crystals, vibrational remedies and many shamanic techniques given to me by my Council of Healers. During my consultations my healing angels would guide me to ask certain questions, give clients certain affirmations or even perform healings as I casually chatted with my client. This of course helped my clients and wonderful results were achieved, yet I felt a sense of loss and deep sadness. I knew on the inside I needed to break this karmic link with the past. It was time to stand in the light and bring forward my knowledge as a healer and do this openly and with love, however I had a deep fear of persecution and this was keeping me frozen.

During November 2003 my family and I headed to Byron Bay in northern New South Wales for a month of camping by the ocean. I was looking forward to long sunrise walks along the beach, healthful organic food, afternoon siestas and spending much needed time together as a family. I also new this would be an opportunity to take stock of my life and to come back to the Sunshine Coast with a strong sense of self.

During this time, global energies were going through dramatic changes. On November 8/9 the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and Chiron aligned to form a Grand Sextile (Star of David formation also known as a Star Tetrahedron or Merkabah), referred to as the Harmonic Concordance. In addition a total lunar eclipse occurred within the Grand Sextile. Many astrologists agreed that this was a significant event in our history giving way to a shift in planetary consciousness between now and the end of the Mayan calendar on 21st December 2012.

Over 8 & 9 November, I performed a Sacred Crystal Healing Ceremony to give thanks and gratitude to Mother Earth and the Starry Heavens and to ask for guidance and life direction for my healing work. Here is an extract of some of the information channelled at that time:

"……It is time to stand in the light dear one and help people in their awakenings. It is time for people to acknowledge who they are and follow their purpose….you must lead by example. No longer will it be possible for people to hold onto the old and resist change. These new energies will bring through much emotional turmoil for many and it is the lightworkers who are to help with the ascension of people on a global scale……you are a teacher dear one, and have made a soul contract to help people awake from their sleep….."

Trying to bring in these new energies - into my life and into others

The Harmonic Concordance had a profound impact on my life. In the weeks following the astrological alignment I was opening my heart more to truth and finding it easier to speak from a place of love and reveal my true self to the world.

As I opened up so did my clients and I experienced many profound healings in my clinic. However the ensuing months after the Harmonic Concordance were very turbulent. Letting go of the old was painful and facing fears head on was quite daunting. Yet I knew I was never alone and my spirit friends were always there to help and guide me. I just had to ask!

I decided to cut down on my hours of work and spend more time on writing and my own spiritual development. I knew I was to run workshops and work with groups of people (as I child I always thought I would grow up to be a teacher) and it was now time to allocate time to manifest my visions, bringing them into reality. I would often in my dreams go to school where I was both Student and Teacher and I was now being told by my Council of Healers that it was time to bring this information through into this world.

As we gradually integrated the changes into our lives, the most extraordinary things began to happen. Opportunities would arrive out of the blue, new friendships were formed and a lightness seemed to surround our lives. We were no longer struggling up hill, but rather we were travelling with the ebb and flow of the universe. Most poignant to myself was the fact that my spiritual gifts were returning (they were actually never lost, just suppressed) and my life had purpose and meaning.

Bringing the Dreams & Visions into Reality

Through meditation, channelling, writing and teaching I am now living my life purpose. I am now living my dreams and working with my visions so kindly given to me by my Angels and Council of Healers to bring much healing and light into my life and into others.

Through my Council of Healers, I have been given access to my past lifetimes in Atlantis, Lemuria and Egypt, and have reconnected my communications with many other light system beings, such as the Pleiadians. My Family of Light from the Light System Zayaan have also been of immense help on my journey and have helped me to feel 'at home' here on earth. They all have lovingly helped me to access other worlds/dimensions and bring forward this sacred knowledge for healing.

I cannot express in words the beauty, magnificence and freedom of living when you live your life authentically from your heart and love unconditionally - both yourself and others. Understanding who you are and what your purpose is in this lifetime gives life meaning and brings much joy to your existence. My life has changed in so many ways, and every minute of every day I am grateful for just being. I am loving the journey of life.

I look forward to working with you and helping you too to realise your dreams and create a life filled with much love, abundance and happiness.

Blessings in the One Heart
