Reflections on 2022+ 2023 and what I've learnt.
How is the start of the year going for you? I have to say that mine has started off really well and I have huge amounts of gratitude for all the magic that has already happened in the first two weeks of 2024.
There has been a lot of reflection on what 2023 was for me. It would have to be the year that I used my own offerings for myself and made huge headway in my biz and personal life.
The offering that I am talking about is my Empowered Woman Meditations. There is something healing about channeling through a meditation script from my guides that has then supported and has been a huge part of my healing. To be honest 2022 was huge for the emotional work that I did and 2023 was about seeing the results of that. I have found a pattern with the even years I retreat and go within and have huge opportunities for self-development and growth and the odd numbers are the years for action. The even years are my feminine energy and the odd years I am in my masculine energy. It’s really quite cool and I love the rhythm and flow of it and the rituals that it creates that light me up.
So in 2022 the meditations that hit me in my feels big time and felt that I learnt the most were forgiveness, self-worth, acceptance and power. I had a lot to deal with in 2022 and the aftermath of some huge shit in 2021. I left a toxic relationship, packed up a house with a broken ankle, moved interstate, dodged border closures to come back home to support mum to look after my dad who has dementia and not long after went into full time care in Adelaide. It was a lot. The biggest thing that I learnt during that time is that your world around you can feel like chaos and be dealing with hard shit but you can also stay calm, present, fulfilled and happy. You don’t have to sit in the shit. You can still practice self-love and self-care to help you keep your head above water. You can meditate and really become aware of your heart, soul and all of the emotions that move through you. I am so grateful for the support that the empowered woman meditations gave me. It helped me release the emotions, become aware of what I was feeling, connect with my heart and soul and feel it all and to connect with my higher self so I knew where I wanted to go next, what I wanted to create and how I wanted to feel.
What I loved about this is that I got to experience it for myself. I had seen the changes in other women after they would come to me for a healing where I would support them with their emotions and the changes that would happen in their lives shortly after. It made me so excited to hear their stories and the changes it made just by processing and releasing your emotions. It makes miracles happen.
Just to let you know I am an introvert. I am a sensitive soul. I am an empath and a recovering people pleaser. I found it hard to receive healing from others because I wouldn’t have the boundaries I needed to switch off and receive. I would end up giving my healer messages and talking about all the things that I didn’t just relax and go there for what I really needed and the messages for me. It just led me back to myself, to connecting and receiving healing on my own healing table and listening to my own healing meditations. It is so empowering. When you know that you can just do it yourself. Disclaimer: there are times when it is good for you to just receive and be held and supported by another.
Getting back to experiencing it for myself. Gosh…!!! Did I receive. I did so much deep emotional work in 2022. I felt like for most of 2022 I was hibernating in a cave and just excavating my emotions. Ok things started to shift for me when firstly I healed my relationship with the masculine. I had a huge insight into why the people I loved didn’t love me back. Guess what it had nothing to do with me and everything to do with the situation and my own self-worth and what I was allowing myself to receive. ←—- Ooft there is a pattern here that I am only just learning about as I write this to you. We never stop learning!
I got really clear about what I wanted in my next partner. I knew that he was just around the corner. In September 2022 I met a gorgeous man who is sweet, caring and thoughtful and we want the same things. How refreshing!!! I knew in my heart that I completely deserved that kind of love and partnership.
In February 2023 I was given the opportunity to rent a house. You might have the belief that rentals are hard to get. The rent has gone up significantly and I was starting from scratch, relocating my life and biz, no job (yet). On paper I am not going to lie it looked shit and the landlord took a risk and wanted me in the house. Spoiler alert it all worked out.
Ok back in 2015 I had been asking and manifesting for a job that I could do for 15 -20 hours a week for around $30 an hour so I could live and also have my spare time to work in and on my biz. It might have taken 8 years but it happened. In February 2023 I started a job in mental health as a support worker. I wanted to do this for extra income to reach some income goals and as well to meet people that I wouldn’t normally meet and support them in a way that I knew I could from what I have learned for the last 10 years. The hourly rate is more than what I asked for in the beginning and the job is super rewarding and I support some awesome people.
Also in February 2023 I set up my own healing space at a yoga studio. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it and I did it. It’s a beautiful space and have enjoyed welcoming clients into the space. However it no longer aligns with my new goals for 2024! Eeek. I am sad and excited at the same time.
That’s not all! In December after being head down, bum up saving me and my man bought a caravan. I was manifesting a Toyota Coaster but I found too many roadblocks and regulations that didn’t allow us to do what we wanted to do and things just felt way too overpriced. One of my highest values is freedom. I also love using the mantra ease and flow. This was not at all feeling like it was moving forward with ease and flow. I had to let go, surrender and drop the idea of the Toyota Coaster and see what the universe presented us with. It wasn’t long and I had come around to the idea of a caravan because you could unhook the caravan and take your car with you. You couldn’t do that with a bus. Even looking back there were signs to go with a caravan. You wouldn’t believe the model caravan we got is called a freedom and she is a beachy little tiny home that we are in love with.
So what’s in store for 2024. Being an even numbered year I will be back in the feminine going with my natural flow, going within, connecting with my heart, soul and higher self and uplevelling to the next chapter in life and biz and I can’t wait. I know that it will be uncomfortable, emotional and out of my comfort zone but in an entirely different way.
My mission here on earth is to learn and grow and then teach you what I know. I have chosen to do that through meditations, workshops, healing and coaching specialising in energy and emotions.
I would love to support you in 2024 to help you manifest what you desire. You are worthy and deserving of it.
Love Michelle x
