Melanie is KindaProud of her NOTE transformation!

Posted on August 7, 2018 by Katie Mottram

Melanie Morfitt from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada #Emerges Proud to tell us how “Nothing is sacred to the tornado of change whose mission it is to destroy all things not aligned with truth.” That is the transformative power of NOTES…

 “For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn’t understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.”

― Cynthia Occelli

Suddenly Awake – Melanie Morfitt (written August 2018)

As I grabbed my mittens and scurried out into the cold January evening, I was unaware that my soul was totally in charge tonight. My perfect life had led me into a dark depression, and now the internal pleas for help were leading me to a workshop at my local library in Aurora, Ontario Canada.

“YOU MUST PLACE YOURSELF FIRST”, had appeared on the tearstained page I was journaling upon just days earlier. As a mother of two active preschoolers who juggled single parenting most of the time while my husband traveled, placing myself first was a foreign concept to me in 1996.

It had been several years now since I had used writing as a balm to soothe the pain of my childhood. Six long years of wearing full body casts from chin bone to tail bone 24-7 had begun when I was ten years old, and had honed my skills well as a victim of childhood idiopathic scoliosis. Years of plaster and plastic, and doctor’s appointments had left many scars on me, although most of them were invisible.

A few days ago, as I stared at those five words of wisdom demanding attention, a fresh crack appeared in my shell. I immediately walked to the front door of my perfect two storey brick suburban home, retrieved the newspaper from my mailbox, and circled an ad that felt like destiny had called. A free seminar at my local library promised it could bring relaxation and healing to the body. “Great! I could use some loosening up.”

Tonight, thirty fellow spectators are sitting spellbound during the Trager presentation as we listen and watch volunteers receive samples of this peculiar bodywork. Recipients are delighted by the small but obvious changes they experience as the middle aged gentle man with the Egyptian accent at the front of the room works on their bodies. The innate wisdom and ability of the body to heal itself isn’t a new concept to me; however, this method of reminding the body through Trager manipulation certainly is.

“Who has back pain issues?” was the presenter’s next request. As my hand shoots up, our eyes lock, and I excitedly accept my turn for healing. I position myself face down on the small wooden massage table draped with a simple white sheet, and await my relief.

After perhaps 10 or 15 minutes of demonstration I realize that I have slipped into a very welcomed, relaxed state of being. “Hey Mel…are ya still here?”, I hear my friend Tracey shout from the audience. “Yes, I’m fine” I exclaim back in reassurance. I then hear the Trager practitioner softly request, “Now before you get off the table, I’d like you to slowly pull yourself up into fetal position so I can sneak a bit of work directly on your back”. I obediently curl up into child’s pose, and feel a warm palm being applied to my spine, serendipitously directly above the scar on my back where I had been sliced open 18 years previously as a 15-year-old child.

WHAM! I am instantly gone! I am out of body suddenly experiencing the precise moment that my orthopedic surgeon is about to use his scalpel to pierce my skin to begin 4 ½ hours of surgery to my spine. It is now September 1978, not a memory, but I exist here right now in real time. “STOP!”, I attempt to scream out. But as I hover out of body about eight feet above my 15-year-old self in 1978, I helplessly realize that as pure consciousness in this moment, I have no voice. The emotional intensity of the reality brings my awareness back to the massage table in the library in 1996. I hear the calm voice of the Trager practitioner intuitively redirect me, “Just stay with it”, and once again without warning, I am whisked BACK out of body, and deposited back at the same crime scene.

I instantly realize that although I have returned to the same horror filled moment of confusion, I am simultaneous wrapped with a download of understanding and knowingness that exists beyond all thought. I feel the winds of truth fanning the embers within my cells into a full flames that rip through my internal neighborhoods of fear and ignorance. Nothing is sacred to the tornado of change whose mission it is to destroy all things not aligned with truth. As I exist here out of body in this place beyond time, I simply know things with perfect clarity. I understand my entire childhood and the choices and actions and inactions that led me to that moment of hopelessness in the operating room. I KNOW things without questions cloaking their light. I have never been a victim.

And just as quickly as this experience began, I feel myself collapse back into a body that exists in a library in a moment called January 16th 1996. Primal instincts instruct my lungs to breathe as I am suddenly aware of audible sobbing, coming from a depth of pain and overload of new wisdom that simply cannot fit back into this small human frame. 

The moment is perfection, and yet it is complete destruction. I just experienced myself as pure consciousness without a body, in a place more real than the one I have just returned to.

I inhale my first breath as an awakened being, faintly detecting the acrid odor of internal maps and atheist beliefs all around me smoldering from love’s perfect strike. As I eventually get up to leave my chrysalis at the front of the room, a single thought wafts like wind beneath my wet wings, ‘EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON’, and I instantly know that I am suddenly AWAKE.

***

It was after this night of transformation that my healing and awakening journey truly began. I suddenly had no fear of death whatsoever. The reality I had experienced was MORE REAL than this one that I had returned to. My cells now knew that ‘everything happens for a reason’, which lead to a rearrangement of my perspectives from victim into student. Finding myself dropped onto the opposite shores of reality as a spiritual being instead of an atheist was confusing to the mind but has remained permanent. And what was this term I had never even heard of before now pulsing in my veins, AWAKE? The knowingness was instant and undeniable, “I am a spiritual being having a human experience, and not the other way around’. 

Truly remarkable were not just the inner changes that took place, but the physical evidence of my shift. For several months lightbulbs would burn out instantly around me, and electrical devices would malfunction. Inspired writing would awaken me up at all hours of the night, and a thirst beyond all thirsts for reading material of the body mind connection and metaphysical worlds was incessant. (a small challenge in 1996 as the internet was not yet at my disposal for research.) Memories of past lives and dreams shared with my young daughter and lucid dreaming were now firsts for me as were so many other new wonders that made it so magical to finally feel truly alive and wide awake!

We are all on this journey of awakening from the unconscious dream, beginning to remember who we truly are. We are infinite intelligent energy ever expanding and experiencing more in a cosmos that uses love to create. Simple really…

Does this subject resonate with your own experience?

NDE aged 4 has led to a lifetime of study; make the so called ‘paranormal’ normal

Posted on August 6, 2018 by Katie Mottram

Meet Sperry Andrews, founder/co-director of the Human Connection Institute. From an N.D.E. at four, his background is in physics, neuroscience, philosophy, (para)psychology, art and art history, healing, mysticism, and filmmaking. He has explored two-way telepathic awareness internationally with hundreds of groups for over thirty years. 

Here Sperry gives you a glimpse of his younger experiences that led to his incredible work…

SperryAndrews

When I was thirty-two, after a year living in Western Australia, I moved to Hobart, Tasmania.I was then at the same latitude South as my birthplace was North. The presence of Antarctica taught me there can be radiant cold. Its icy presence pierced my bones, until it seemed like they could snap.

I took a plane North up the coast to Cairns, North Queensland and found a free ashram in Mount Molloy – up in the tablelands – run by an English couple. They gave me a garden shed to live in on the edge of their property where I could meditate without being disturbed.

I felt an overpowering need to do absolutely nothing other than be awake and aware. When taking walks out into the bush, I’d sit for long stretches. The more still I became inside, the more Nature came alive.

A couple of months passed and I settled down. One night I was reading a passage from Jiddu Krishnamurti wherein he suggested to make “no effort.” I felt compelled to experience effortlessness. By the next morning, having laid awake all night, without need of sleep, a turgid cloud of psychic matter gathered in front of my face – a few inches away. It seemed to contain all that I had withdrawn my attention from, all of what I had not been conscious of until then.

It was awesome to be hallucinating my ‘disowned’ self. I’d never experienced anything like it before. There was a mental/emotional, as well as physical desire, to turn away from ‘it.’

By sustaining effortless awareness – within the space of a minute or two – the cloud dissolved into the awareness I was witnessing it with. Free from what I had hidden from, who and what I knew my self to be became infused with the radical presence of impersonal awakeness. This continued throughout the day and into the night. And then suddenly, as if by magic, I lost all limitations, becoming a boundaryless Void, seemingly the source of all possibilities and potentialities, without beginning or end.

Everything was made of this one consciousness. Sounds outside my body also seemed to come from inside of me. There was not one place within that did not contain everything and nothing. The most serene bliss came over every cell in my body and heart. My mind was utterly silent. I was indistinguishable from all I was perceiving.

I was not any one thing, yet I was this universe, unfolding as a spaceless timeless awakeness. Stepping outside into the night, I decided it was as good a time as any to go look at a used car I’d seen in the paper. The owners lived over an hour away and I had no phone to call them. I decided to do something I’d not done since I arrived. I walked to the one and only road, to hitch a ride to a phone.

At eight or nine at night, standing on the side of an empty road, there were no cars. The moon and stars were high overhead, yet they felt every bit as much inside me too. Throughout all this, there were no thoughts, only direct perceptions.

I felt and saw the moon was as much in my knee as it was in my heart and hands. There was a distinct sense that the whole universe was within every part of my being – this vast formless featureless awakeness. It was then I saw a car’s headlights in the distance and I had one of my first and only thoughts.

I wondered, innocently, “Wouldn’t it be nice if this person stopped their car, picked me up and took me to Atherton – an hour away. The car approached and its brakes engaged, bringing it – skidding on the dirt – to a sudden halt next to me. A small Japanese woman rolled down her window, seemingly disoriented. “Where are You going?” she asked.

When I told her, she added that she lived just up the road, but she’d take me (two hours out of her way). It was uncanny, though it felt right somehow. Once in the car, I could feel her sensing the effect of our presence. As she started to drive, she asked: “What are you doing?”

I answered, saying: “I’m just noticing, I am everything I’m conscious of.” Energetically, I could feel her recognize our combined consciousness. All she said was, “oh.” Then there was only one of us. We both clearly sensed the sound of each others’ words actually arising from within our common body.

She told me how frightened she had been of everyone, as her husband had brought her here from Japan to live, and she knew no one. That her neighbor from time to time would take care of her newborn baby. She explained how she suffered terribly from thoughts of her neighbor intending harm to her child. Asking, did I think it was true or not ? I said I did not sense it was, and we entered into a deeper peace together.

We maintained a unified consciousness all the way to Atherton. Before dropping me off, we stopped and shared something to eat while we waited for the car owner to come get me. She and I agreed to meet again in a few days time, and said good night.

The people selling the car invited me to spend the night. It was a forty mile round-trip for them to come and get me. Back at their home, they sat me down and started sharing their deepest conflicts. He kicked their cows and what did I suggest they do about it. Both of them were on the edge of their seats hanging on my every word and movement. I had certainly never experienced anything like this, yet it flowed so effortlessly. I was acceptance itself. Reflecting their dilemma seemed to bring clarity and they felt remarkably resolved.

It was after 11 when they showed me to a room with a bed. When I closed my eyes, I did not sleep. It was like being the night sky – light years in every direction – but instead there was only the sparkling beauty of pure objectless consciousness. The night passed without dreams, as if time did not exist.

When I opened my eyes again, the manifest universe re-appeared around me. This quality of experience lasted for several days. I found I could move in and out of ‘it’ by noticing I was everything and everyone I was witnessing – or not.

A week later, I was no longer in this consciousness. I was back to being just a separate self again. The Japanese woman came over to take me out to lunch. She was so tense, she felt like she was electrified with fear.

To make a long story shorter, we were not able to communicate the way we had, and eventually she became so scared she could not stand to be around me. I had to hitch a ride ‘home.’ The insecurity of being ‘unconscious together’ seemed almost unbearable for her. It saddened me.

The difference between that one night and this day a week later was astounding. I was so profoundly moved by how she had picked up, a total stranger – a 6’2” man nonetheless, on a lonely road at night – to drive him two hours out of her way.

The only difference was the quality of ‘my’ consciousness. If I’d been more awake, she’d have been able to relax. I unmistakably realized from this experience I was wholly responsible for ending fear in relationship. That how awake I am is more important than anything else I might do or say.

Sperry talks about his early experiences:

“Sperry Andrews is founder/co-director of The Human Connection Institute. He originated the Human Connection Project, a scientifically-based educational media research project designed to reinforce the underlying sense that human beings are innately psychologically and physiologically linked, even when in widely separate geographic locations. This project has employed a series of six preliminary pilot studies in preparation for an international multiple laboratory experiment. The purpose of the project is to offer an alternative to the current scientific worldview in which humans are considered physically isolated beings.

 Sperry has given invited presentations on human interconnectedness and the Human Connection Project at the United Nations, World Business Academy, Duke University, University of Connecticut, the Association for Research and Enlightenment, and the Foundations of Mind conferences at U.C. Berkeley. His articles have appeared in Frontier Perspectives, Alternative Therapies, Exceptional Human Experience, Cosmos and History, and Kosmos Journal. He is coauthoring a book on our capacity of unity.

Before beginning the Human Connection Project with the help of the Mind Science Foundation in San Antonio, Texas in 1988 and becoming an Adjunct Research Associate from 1990 to 1992, he facilitated group experiences both public and private, enhancing people’s ability to share sensory, emotional, and mental awareness. He then continued to develop techniques to help groups achieve and maintain states of collective consciousness which hundreds of people in the U.S. and Europe have now experienced. Weekly online gatherings, weekend workshops, five-day intensives, facilitator trainings and 100 Days of Co-creation are presented online through East Bay Berkeley offices of the Human Connection Institute.

His interest in consciousness-for-its-own-sake began with a childhood near death experience. Knowing that everyone and everything are connected led him into contemplative and meditative visioning, including healing and teaching work. He was formally educated at Antioch College, Maryland Art Institute, New School for Social Research, State University of New York, and City College, San Francisco. 

He is also a visual artist having painted and shown his artwork in many parts of the world, including a period of four years in Australia and a year in South America. His childhood home and, for many years his workplace, was the Julian Alden Weir National Historic Site dedicated to American Art and Artists located in Wilton and Ridgefield, Connecticut. He has created, shown and sold his artwork for over thirty years. His paintings are now owned by both public and private collections internationally.”

Introducing our KindaProud Rep for the #Emerging through Suicide Pocket Book of Hope and Transformation; Kelly Walsh

Posted on August 1, 2018 by Katie Mottram

Kelly Walsh exudes positivity; if you met her now it would be hard to believe that she’s experienced not only the survival of her own suicide attempt, but also been bereaved by the suicide of her father. Kelly now perceives these experiences as making her the person she is today; proud, positive and full of unconditional love.

We are so honoured to have Kelly as our KindaProud Rep for the pocket book of Hope and Transformation; #Emerging Proud through Suicide. Kelly is a true inspiration and a perfect example of the transformative power of crises…

Kelly-Michelle-Walsh

Ending the taboo of Suicide

Suicide, a subject often misunderstood, rarely openly talked about and in many cases the cause of much pain, shame, guilt, blame and ultimately deep routed fear. Fear of what others may think, fear of a dark guilty secret getting out, fear of the world knowing you or someone close to you tried or actually did end their physical life through suicide.

But, and this is a BIG but; It doesn’t have to be this way. Suicide in my case was not the end, and for various reasons was just the beginning.  The beginning of an incredible healing journey and the acknowledgement and understanding that unconditional love holds no boundaries.

I write from my heart and soul, as a survivor of my own suicide attempt and as a loving daughter whose dear father transitioned home to spirit via hanging 6 years later.

Today I stand tall and proud that I not only survived suicide but also thrived. Thrived in the midst of adversity, thrived in the midst of deep pain and anguish and thrived during the days and nights when the world seemed so dark, un-loving and lonely.

A little about me

I came kicking and screaming into this world in November 1975 and was named Kelly Michelle Walsh.  As a little girl I had an obsession with Wonder Woman and often wore her replica outfit. Like most children, I believed in super powers and our ability to change the world. I still do! But more about that later.

Like a lot of people I had suppressed trauma to heal from childhood.  In 2009 I took a huge overdose and tried to end my physical life.  In hospital I had a profound spiritual experience, travelled through 7 dimensions, experienced the oneness of the universe and the unconditional healing power of Divine Love and was told by Divinity that it wasn’t my time.  The message I was given is that love will heal and transform the world.  I came around from my experience with my arms across my chest and opened them in slow motion and proclaimed that I had met God and angels. The following evening I received a vision and shouted out 9 poignant words:

“Like minded souls will collaborate to change the world!”

These powerful words have never left me and deep in my heart and soul I knew one day I would be sharing my experience in collaboration with others to the wider world. I now feel I am acting on my soul’s purpose but it hasn’t always been that way. Like a lot of people who have had profound spiritual experiences I didn’t initially feel mentally strong enough to talk openly about what had happened to me, through fear of rejection or potential ridicule. I tried desperately to forget what had happened and focus on rebuilding my life.

A number of years later I realized that trying to suppress what had happened to me was no longer an option. It had happened, it was part of my soul’s journey and I had to deal with the emotional rollercoaster connected to my experience in the best way I could. My life was never going to be the same again. My primary focus was to try and integrate my experience into my daily life, whist exploring ways of sharing the love, wisdom and knowledge I gained during my brief visit to the other side.  Little did I know, that my experience and the  understanding it gave me would prepare me for one of the most painful experiences I was going to endure in my earthly life.  The transition of my father, David Walsh by suicide in September 2015.

The pain I felt when we received the telephone call to say he had hung himself is indescribable and the repercussions of his passing and my subsequent family breakdown have not been pleasant. However I truly believe that what I learned during my experience and the subsequent spiritual and healing path I have been on since have helped me to cope with this tragedy in a far more peaceful and dignified manner. I also gain further strength in the knowing that my dad is still very much around me and one day we will be united again.

My dad, like me, had always been a highly sensitive soul and very spiritually aware, however he often suppressed that side of himself to fit in with society.  Two weeks after he passed, I had an awards ceremony to attend but didn’t really feel like going.   However I asked myself, what would dad have wanted me to do and I smiled as I imagined him saying “go princess and shine and sparkle for the night.”  I managed to summon up the strength to get ready and set off in in my car to Blackpool.  On route I silently asked my dad to give me the biggest sign that he was with me.  I pulled up at the car park opposite the venue and as I did, the car park attendant put a cone out and said “sorry love we are full”.  I was just about to drive off when the man suddenly turned around, took a second glance, smiled and said “can I tell you something, you look absolutely beautiful tonight. In fact, you look so beautiful I am going to move my car and you can have my spot”.  I was completely taken aback and had tears welling up in my eyes.  I replied “I cannot tell you what that random act of kindness means. I have just lost my dad and that meant the world.  Can you tell me your name so I can thank you in person” and he just looked at me with the biggest grin and said “my name’s Dave”.  You guessed it Dave was my dad’s name and I knew in that instant my dad had channelled his unconditional love via this unbeknown car park attendant.

Now some people would say that was just a coincidence and I would reply that our deceased loved ones, God and angels are communicating with us all the time but whether we are open to accepting and receiving these messages is totally down to us and our spiritual awareness.

Losing dad and dealing with the family breakdown has not been an easy process but in many ways it has helped me grow in character.  I now recognise, that since childhood, I have been seeking love and acceptance outside of myself when the only person I really needed to seek that from was me.  My life experiences to date, including the pain and suffering, have made me who I am and I wouldn’t change a thing. I believe I chose this path coming into this world so that one day I would be in a position to help others with their healing journey to self-love and acceptance.   I am particularly passionate about raising awareness of suicide and speaking openly and honestly about my experience at both ends of the spectrum.

I really feel more suicides could be prevented if people understood that it is impossible to end their life as our soul and spirit continues with the same issues we were having difficulty with here on the earth plane, and at some point they will still need be dealt with, either in the various dimensions or during their next incarnation. 

It is surely better to stay in the physical body with your loved ones around you and work through your perceived problems so that you can heal what needs to be healed rather end your physical life.  I also hope my story of God’s unconditional love helps people who have lost people to suicide to know that their loved ones are not being banished to a life in purgatory and they will one day see them again.  I realise once again how blessed I have been having the experiences I’ve had, as they have helped me deal with my grief enormously.  I believe the time has come to end the stigma associated with suicide.  We need to encourage people to be able to speak openly and honestly about their feelings around suicide, rather than having to hide them like many do, as a dark guilty secret.

There are more young adults under 35 who kill themselves, or attempt to, in the UK and internationally, than any other cause of death.  The latest statistics I heard was that one person every forty-three seconds ends his or her life.  Perhaps if we could get a life – affirming message out into the world then more suicides could be prevented.  If this approach stops just one person from taking the suicide route then surely it’s a message worth sharing.

I know it didn’t help my dad and you could argue that he had no fear of death due to the things I had told him, and yes, you could be right.  However truth be told I don’t think he ever believed what I told him about my experience as other people close to him had made out I was crazy. However since his transition he has confirmed to me via an incredible channeler that he now understands all the stuff I used to talk about. He has had his life review; it was painful at times, as it is for us all, but he is now continuing to grow and heal in spirit.  His role now in spirit is to help others heal who have transitioned via suicide and he wanted to pass on the message that I too would be helping people affected by suicide on the earth plane. This made me smile, dad and daughter now working in partnership to bring about positive, loving and lasting change. What a dream team we are!!!

I believe most people’s issues stem from an element of low self-esteem perhaps from childhood experiences. Broken adults often create broken children, and the cycle continues.

To break this pattern we need to help all children realize how truly special, beautiful, and amazing they all are and help them to see that as a reflection in others. We have a duty of care to help them develop healthy, happy, hearts, minds, bodies and souls from birth. Education should not be solely focused on academia. It should be more holistic, addressing life skills, creativity, and teaching children how to stay true to our authentic selves.

My beliefs

I have experienced the transformational Power of Divine Love in my own life. It is without doubt the greatest healing modality on the planet.  I am living testimony of this.

Through the Power of Divine love we can transcend all our earthly fears and live a harmonious, joyful and peaceful life.

I have come to realise that it is not our life experiences, perceived as good or bad that define us, but the way we think about our experiences and act upon them.

For many years I was on a course of self-destruction because I held on to a childhood core belief that I was not worthy or loveable.

These feelings of unworthiness forced me to push myself to extremes, making decisions that were not love- based but ultimately based in fear.

Fear of not being successful enough

Fear of not being good enough

Fear of not be lovable enough ……….. the list could go on!

It was only when I had my heart, mind and soul opened to the power of Divine Love that my life really began to change.

By learning to love and accept myself as Divinity loves and accepts me, I allowed the miracle of creation to start working through me.

We are wrapped in loving protection at all times. Nothing is hidden from Divinity. It knows everything about us, and holds no judgement but instead loves us unconditionally.

I believe our ultimate path and purpose is to learn to love ourselves and each other as Divinity does, and stand side by side in love and friendship to SHINE LIKE THE STARS WE WERE BORN TO BE.

Today and every day I am #Emerging Proud through Suicide and will continue to do so until it is deemed I am ready to go home and my work here is done!

The more we Love, the more we Care, the more we share and together through Positivity Power we change the world!

Karina Simieli, Integral life & organizational coach, Catalonia (Spain)

Posted on July 31, 2018 by Katie Mottram

I had the pleasure of meeting Karina at the Integral Europe conference in Hungary in 2015, whilst launching ISEN ; it was one of those special connections that has lasted, despite the distance! Having benefitted from some powerful coaching sessions with Karina to support my own integration process, I thought you might all like to meet her too!

KarinaSimieli

A bit about Karina…

A few years ago, after a trip to Thailand, I started a deep personal transformation and evolutionary journey.

Searching my vital purpose I opened the doors to a new profession supporting people and organizations through coaching with the aim of exploring the emerging future.

The Integral perspective opened new possibilities to me and provided a deep understanding of the systemic interdependency we live in.

I like to call myself an “awakener of Being” because I love accompanying people to discover their inner beauty and the version of themselves that allows them to live and work fully and in the path of well-being.

I believe in the value of the body as a supreme instrument of reconnection with our being and as a gateway for personal transformation. Since my childhood,  I have practiced various dance styles and somatic-emotional development techniques such as Yoga, Biodanza, AlbaEmoting, 5 Rhythms and SPT theater of social presence.

I consider the human being as a whole and from an integral intervention, I use language, body and emotions to achieve ontological coherence and holding the space for spiritual development.

I believe in the power of collaboration and the potential of co-creation to built personal and professional relationships. In group facilitation, I use different methodologies such as Art of Hosting, World Cafe, Dragon dreaming, Appreciative Inquiry and Process Work that help us to explore the emerging future and to manage the complexity in which we live.

For more than twenty years I have accompanied SMEs and organizations in the improvement processes from the departments of quality, HR and CSR. I have trained with great masters throughout my life who have given me a great treasures. My deep gratitude to each of them for their contribution to the person I am today.

I’ll be interviewing Karina about her work in the coming week, but in the mean time you can find out more about her and her work, here:

My story; Sally Collins from Swanton Morley, Nr Norwich

Posted on July 29, 2018 by Katie Mottram

Sally was inspired to share her personal journey through bullying and low self- esteem after seeing Amy’s story for her book; #EmergingProud through disordered eating, body image and low self-esteem. 

Sally’s personal story is a common one for many; childhood bullying being at the root cause of poor self- image and low confidence… but as these brave stories show; things CAN change, and often learning to love ourselves out of darkness leads to our light shining even brighter…

Sally Collines

Hi I’m Sally, I’m age 39 and I’ve always battled with low self esteem and low feelings towards my body image, my weight, my size, my shape and my curves. It has worried me so much that I have felt at times that I don’t fit in, I’m not normal etc.

I was bullied so bad at school which affected my confidence too, way into adulthood. I was bullied because then I was a size 14! Which is slimmer than I am now, and the kids made my life hell because I was bigger than most others.  I made out I was ill a few weeks to my mum so I didn’t have to go to school. The kids used to say I was a sumo wrestler, I had thunder thighs etc.. it was crippling but I didn’t have the confidence to fight back … then as I got older the bullying changed because I had curly hair!! It was ridiculous and I grew up feeling like I didn’t belong, or fit in, or that I wasn’t accepted as I didn’t have many friends or wasn’t cool enough! But it’s only as I have grown older, I have felt more comfortable with who I am, my journey, my body and where I am heading in life.

The last few years I have started to embrace me, and the freedom has come from not feeling like I have to fit in with anyone anymore, I found groups of friends who have accepted me as I am, I have found hobbies, passions and purpose, this has all helped me realise I can be who ever I want to be, I don’t have to be the same as everyone else, and I actually embrace now that I’m not!

I have the most amazing curly hair which I now love, and colour it with fun colours which I feel matches who I am and my personality. This brings me freedom and happiness by being my authentic self. I still have wobble days about my body, like feelings of am I too curvy? Am I too fat?  Am I too out there and wacky?! But I think back and realise this is where I’m at right now, this is who I am right now, it may change and vary but this is me today.  And that’s all I can be, is the real version of me on this day, however that day feels!

We are all on our own journeys, there is no need to compete for we are all unique and special in our own way, which isn’t necessarily the same way as others are. I have found a love for things that bring me peace and balance, including yoga, meditation, chanting, music, sound therapy and alternative therapies that all help me to feel my true self. I see beauty in others that they may not see in themselves, and I’m sure people see beauty in me that I don’t see in myself…

  I am embracing me, I dare you to do the same xxx  Sally.

Well done Sally for embracing your authentic Self, we honour you just as you are ❤

Julia from Slovakia #Emerges Proud to tell us about the transformative power of her ‘NOTE’

Posted on July 28, 2018 by Katie Mottram

Anyone who has experienced a NOTE knows just how transformative they can be; pulling us in a direction that once may have seemed illogical to the world we previously knew. Once you’ve been ‘NOTE-ed’ you just can’t go back, and Julia Sellers from Slovakia knows all about that. Here Julia shares her personal account of her OBE (out of body experiences): an essential component of NOTEs/STEs/EHEs

Julia’s story will feature in Nicole’s book, #Emerging Proud through NOTES (Non- Ordinary Transcendent Experiences).

Julia Sellers

I would like to share my story which began by having spontaneous out of body experiences (OBEs) many years ago. I consider OBEs a wonderful as well as an essential part of NOTEs/STEs/EHEs.

Anyway, it all started back in 1995 when I had my first OBE. At that time, I had no idea what was happening to me. All of my subsequent OBEs were therefore recorded in my diary so I could work with them later on. Basically, each of my out of body experience was thoroughly written down immediately or shortly after it happened for further analysis.

This is how it all started back in 1994: “I remember waking up in the middle of the night. Without checking where I was located I knew I was in my bedroom but clearly out of body. I was hovering above my bed. Suddenly something pulled me very strongly towards the window. I could not resist even though I tried to with intention. I could not resist physically as I was out of body. I don’t remember why I was pulled to the window as I could have been equally pulled through the wall or through the door. When out of body you easily pass through both walls as well as closed doors. I clearly heard my own breathing and my heart beating as if coming from a nearby radio. Furthermore, I was able to hear everything that was going on in the next room as if I was present in the room. Suddenly I was able to see a light coming from either the left or the right. I could not tell which, because when you are out of body, the sides get reversed like through a mirror so the right is left and left is right. The light was getting more and more intense. I also remember I tried to raise my hand. However, I could not see any hand. My hand was a part of my real physical body laying on my bed at that time. What I saw was only the contours of my hand. It looked cloudy, shadowy, and I knew it was not a hand made of physical matter, flesh, muscles, and tissues. It was a phantom, an etheric double hand. At the point of looking at the phantom of my hand, I clearly thought to myself: Get back to your body. And so I did, right after I intended to, with my mind.”

Sounds crazy? Well, shortly after my OBEs started, I kind of switched into a different mode of consciousness. You can call it altered, exceptional, anomalous, abnormal state of consciousness or as I named it in one of my research papers: “State of accreted consciousness” (SAC). I was able to function in my “SAC” for over a year or so. I was not able to hold a job at that time, but guess what. I felt whole, integrated, transcended and deeply transformed during the whole period of my SAC.

I have come a long way since then. I have authored a book on OBEs (under the pseudonym of Iris Krst) titled: “I have seen it tomorrow”. It is about the nature of OBEs, my own OBEs, but mostly on OBEs of a dear member of my family, who has experienced OBEs for over forty years now. He is not ready to come out of the spiritual closet yet. He needs some time to heal and understand that the gifts of OBEs, precognition, retrocognition, visionary experiences, etc. he was blessed with since birth, were deeply misunderstood by society and mistaken for a pathological condition by medical community.

In addition, I have recently founded SEN Slovakia and the Czech Republic which is part of ISEN (International Spiritual Emergence Network). I am also a lecturer on OBEs (out-of-body experiences) in the Czech Republic and Slovakia and consult people with EHEs (Extraordinary Human Experiences) including NHI (non- human intelligence ) contacts.

On my spiritual journey I have come to understand the following: “ You are what you feel not what you think.” Feelings come first. They produce thoughts. Feelings shape your whole being from within. Everything is feeling-based at its core. Feeling is sound/vibration-based. Vibration is feeling-based; oscillation is light-based. First, there was vibration in the form of audible or inaudible sound and only out of sound was light born. At the beginning, there was Logos: the word, the sound, the vibration.  “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1”

By emitting feelings of unconditional love, you regulate your health and the ways your body functions. When you become unconditional love you become whole, integrated and fulfilled.

PLEASE JOIN ME IN BECOMING PURE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

The following is part of Julia’s spiritual contemplation put into words. Since it was translated directly from the Slovak, it may sound a little dissonant:

He who refuses to know the taste of God, will soon know the taste of Xanax

The day I stopped talking, I said the most. I cried out words that no one heard, only the depth of my soul. In the hope that the echo of my forgotten Self will save me from claws of the deafness, I’ve been waiting for long ages. I can only recognize intuitive symptoms of silence. They create water rafts in the well of my dreams. From there, they calmly flow into the ocean of cosmic consciousness. He who refuses to know the taste of God, will soon know the taste of Xanax. The boiling point of the human mud is actually its freezing point. Brain is an extended arm of the heart. Without it, brain would not be able to breathe. Whenever death welcomes a new birth, the Sun changes into the Moon. Hey, you fragile human being. You don ‘t have to become anything. Just become a word.

Serena from Norfolk tells us how it took coming close to death to #Emerge as a new woman

Stepping Out of the Shower into my New Life

I planned to start writing this like all good stories begin – from the start – however I feel the need to lay down bare the impact that my journey of starving and exercise addiction had on me in first instance.

On a sunny day in the late Summer of 2008 I desperately needed a shower as had just been for a 5 mile run in the midday heat, after spending 2 hours on my exercise bike, and having not eaten in 3 days.  My last meal had been my standard hand full of Cheerios and quarter of a tin of tuna, and it was safe to say that my body was exhausted.

As I ran the shower I undressed in front of my full-length mirror, and as I did I felt that feeling of absolute disgust; to the extreme that I had to look away after a few minutes to stop me from bursting into tears.

I climbed into the floor-ceiling shower cubicle, and began to wash my hair, tepid water bouncing off my overheated skin.  As I worked my way down, washing my neck, chest and stomach, my hands knocked into each protruding bone, and glided over muscles that ached from being unallowed to rest.

What happened next caused an absolute 360 degrees turn-around in my life.

As I woke with confusion and blurred vision, I realised that I was immersed in warm water and I could taste soap in my mouth.  The air was close and moist, and I was struggling to breathe from the heavy steam that was laying on my chest.

With my body feeling weak, I managed to use my slender arms to prop myself up against the white tiled wall, so I was slumped over like a tired rag doll.  I used one hand and foot to pull the glass door of the cubicle back and let out a sigh of relief while taking a huge breath of cool fresh air, reminding myself that I was lucky to be alive.

I had passed out, and nearly drowned in a few inches of water.  The realisation of the stupidity of my actions which had caused this incident to happen, made me feel like I was ungrateful and undervaluing of my life and everything and one in it.

I had always been so sensible and in control, so since when did I become so irresponsible?

Rewinding a year, I was fortunate enough to be invited on a university trip to Delhi in India.  With a keen interest in business operations and processes, this trip gave me the opportunity to see first-hand how India’s Financial Institutions operated and also explore the incredible and insightful culture that the country offered.

But, not only did the trip impact on me from an educational and cultural perspective, but it also had a detrimental impact on my health and wellbeing and turned my world completely upside down.

Before the trip, I had begun to enjoy visiting the gym a few times and week and enjoyed a varied and healthy diet.  I was always busy – with uni work, seminars, lectures, 3 jobs and a house to run – so keeping my weight down at that time came quite naturally and with little effort, apart from some gym and swim sessions, which I used as my alone and thinking time, to get away from the chaos of life.

After the trip, my life was a different story.  As well as bringing home memories of an impactful experience, myself and many of my class mates also brought home ‘Delhi Belly’ (which is a severe stomach bug that sticks around for a long time!)

Due to this I couldn’t keep any food or drink down for a good month after, and following the end of the severe sickness and diarrhoea, and the excruciating painful stomach cramps (which kept me up most nights, taking away the sleep I desperately craved to regain energy to keep up with my busy lifestyle) I was unable to eat a diet of anything other than dried toast, cereal, tuna and crackers, which soon became boring and difficult to swallow, let alone stomach!

So, I started to want to eat less and less, and my previous love and enjoyment of food was now non-existent.  At first limiting my food intake and what I ate was a necessary to prevent the dreaded ‘Delhi Belly’ from flaring up, however it soon slipped into becoming an obsession, and even on to being a challenge, where I would see how many days I could go without giving in to the hunger pains.

Within 6 months I could manage about 3 days without eating any food and only consuming water, and for this I praised myself when seeing the weight drop off, going from a large size 12 to small size 10 in this short time.

Even though this was the case, I had the urge that I needed to do more.  So, at that point, instead of my usual 2 1-hour gym visits per week, this rapidly increased to 5-6 2-3 hour sessions, and 4-5 1 hour swim sessions per week – plus daily runs twice a day and lengthy rides on my exercise bike whenever I was at home.

To put it simply, many areas of my life were sacrificed for exercise.  Time with my family and friends, meal times, housework and even some work days (where I could get away with it) would become replaced by some sort of physical exercise.

My brain was consumed with thoughts of food and exercise, and nothing else got a look in.  My work suffered, my education suffered, my sleep suffered, and I was so exhausted that my concentration slipped and all I could focus on was the negative feelings I had about my body.

When I started on my journey with anorexia and exercise addiction I enjoyed losing weight, and I loved the way I felt in my new slimmer body.  But over time every time I saw myself in a mirror all I could see was how large I looked, and I absolutely hated myself.  And as I got skinnier the self-hate just grew and grew, to the point that I couldn’t even face looking at myself anymore, that I had to undress in the dark, or wear the baggiest clothes I owned so I didn’t have to look down and see my atrocious body.

Another 6 months had passed, and I was now in small size 8 clothes, and weighed just over 7 stone (which was a total loss of around 5 and a half stone since my India visit).

Fast forwarding again to stepping out of that shower cubicle, I emerged a new woman.  Still shaking from shock and shivering from the cold bathroom air, I stood staring at myself in the mirror and just sobbed, for hours.

My world stopped at that moment.  Time stood still.  My unrealistic view on my body lifted.  And I just saw a scrawny, pale, skeleton staring back at me.  My face was drawn, and my eyes we sunken, red, blood shot, with dark circles, as tears rolled and rolled continuously down my cheeks.

People say that when you come close to death you experience feelings of gratitude and thanks for your life, and I certainly did.  These feelings were enough to pull me out of the pit of my illness and, once I admitted it to my family, they supported me to gradually eat healthily and exercise safely to become stronger and of more stable state of mind.

When I look back, the struggle to get better was harder than the challenge of starving, and the intenseness of excessive exercise.  Therefore, when people criticise someone for having an eating disorder and just say ‘eat more’ this is certainly easier said than done.  Eating disorders are both mental and physical illnesses that take work, support and time to heal.

And now I end the story, in 2018.  Ten years on I am a size 14-16, after having 2 incredible children.  I eat well and healthily, and enjoy playing with the children and walking my dog, in between rushing about in my (still) busy lifestyle.

Even though I am larger than I have been before, I am proud of my body – all the rolls, scars, stretch marks, cellulite, spots and redness make up me and stand for the huge challenges I have faced in my 30 years of life.  

Pregnancy, child birth, family celebrations, romantic meals, exciting holidays and fun days out have all shaped who I am today, and my eating disorder and exercise addiction also adds to that, so I am not ashamed of it at all…

…I am proud of overcoming it and becoming a stronger person because of it.

Kathleen Donhardt #Emerges Proud to freely speak her beautifully real TRUTH

Posted on July 25, 2018 by Katie Mottram

Kathleen from Mount Gambier, South Australia was inspired by our KindaProud Rep Amy’s story to share her own journey, which will appear in the Pocket Book of Hope: #EmergingProud through disordered eating, body image and low-self-esteem.

We honour and respect Kathleen’s bravery in beating guilt and shame to find her voice and inspire others through her own story…

Kathleen

For 48 years I have carried the SHAME and GUILT for childhood experiences. I have owned & carried the responsibility for what happened to me, wondering why I felt so guilty about so many experiences of abuse in my life, like being born into a home of domestic violence. It’s easy to make the truth all about ‘being provided for’ and acknowledging ‘they did their best with what they knew’.

The TRUTH is, it was traumatic being around the yelling, screaming & hitting that often ended with bruises, blood, breakages, tears and bitterness. Through a child’s eyes it’s terrifying not knowing if she’s going to actually cut his throat with the knife she holds close.

It’s easy to make the truth about a grade 1 teacher just doing her job. The TRUTH is, she was a bully who I was terrified of and I’d wet my pants over daring to ask her if I could go to the toilet, she was mean.

It’s easy to make the truth all about being a liar because I stayed silent for so many years. The TRUTH is, he sexually abused me many times, I was only about 7 or 8. I believed it was my fault and their accusations and denial of the truth cut deeper than the abuse.

It’s easy to make the truth all about it being my fault, my shame that I was only 13 when I gave away my virginity because I didn’t have the courage to walk away. The TRUTH is he conned me and raped me. It’s easy to make the truth about it being all my fault when I fell pregnant at barely 17. The TRUTH is it was my responsibility to tell not only my mother but his aswell & allow him to leave town first so he could get on with his precious life. I believed it was the least I could do as it was my fault, even though he was the one pursuing me all those years.

It’s easy to make the truth all about helping & supporting family because that’s what you do. The TRUTH is they used and abused me for anything they could.

It’s easy to make the truth that I’ve been overweight from a young age because I’m built “just like my grandmother”, or I’m lazy and eat too much like all fat people. The TRUTH is it’s the trauma from all of the above and a tonne more that has set my body up to so beautifully ‘protect’ me from all the abuse, stress and trauma in the only way it knew how. Gain weight and hold on to it for dear life, to keep me safe. The TRUTH is those diets they made me do starting at age twelve, just kept helping me gain even more.

I AM grateful though, oh dearly I am so deeply grateful for everything this has all taught me. I love and treasure the gifts, learning and growth it’s all provided me. Just like how I have fallen in love with me and my body on a whole new depth that is new and nourishing me emotionally, physically, spiritually. Never in my life have I felt safer around food than I do now. Never in my life have I felt safer in this world and in my own skin than I do now. Thirty two years of dieting helped me get so overweight, depressed and hating everything about myself, believing I was the problem. I have learned through these experiences and a passionate search for the solutions, that it wasn’t another diet I needed, it was actually a way to love and accept myself fully and deeply just as I am for who I am and the weight would fall away by itself, just as it is now.

Society shames anyone who dares to speak of sexual abuse, domestic violence, suicide, financial abuse, emotional abuse and this list goes on. It’s the silencing and denial, which rapes us over and over, of the freedom to be who we truly are, speaking freely of our life experiences regardless of what they are.

NOT ANYMORE – Not in my time, not in my life. I will continue to share my truth of how it was for me and the healing I’ve done to come through it. I will NEVER BE SILENCED because others are uncomfortable, that’s what continues to feed the ongoing problem. It’s the silence that allows it to keep happening over and over. I will speak on behalf of others, until they find their voice, their strength and their power. I am not a victim, I am not a survivor, I’ve lived through and from it. It’s not my shame, it’s not my guilt and I will no longer carry it.

I am far from perfect and nor do I strive to be, I have much to keep learning, growing and evolving with, that excites me a lot, and today, right now, my heart is rich and my heart is full and I AM truly FREE to SPEAK MY TRUTH.
