Roses

Have you ever nestled your nose in the soft petals of a fully bloomed rose?

The almost wilting petals tickled my face today as i closed my eyes and soaked up her intense fragrance. The rose was hand picked with love from the Woodlands gardens and shared herself with me with no holding back, no inhibitions and i responded with total joy.

Every single day i get a front row seat to a glorious show of nature. My consultation room is built in the trees and as soon as patients step into my room, half my job has already been done by Mother Nature, the greatest healer of all.

Today as i sat observing the weaver at work on its sixth attempt at building his nest and the plops in the pond as the fish jumped in and out, i realised that nature has no inhibitions. When the conditions are ripe, each organism expresses itself to its full potential This is only because it is pure spirit, no ego, no fear- no 'what ifs' and 'should i?' or 'what will the other tree thank if i start to bloom?' It simply lives according to its blueprint of perfection.

I think that this is our challenge as human beings( one of many), to understand the place of the ego but not to give it so much power over the spirit that it confines and traps it. Our soul craves for the freedom to express itself. Just take a moment to listen to your soul's today .

I did , as i nestled my nose in the soft petals of a fully bloomed rose...

Song of the Soul

I read a very beautiful story about certain African tribes that gives every single child of the tribe their own special song or tune . The song is specifically chosen as soon as the mother knows she's pregnant. So throughout the pregnancy, the foetus gets to know his soul song as he floats in the womb. The song is played at the time of birth and at every significant time in his life. It is played to soothe him when he's uncomfortable and to help the healing process when he's ill. The healing frequency of soul song remains a part of his consciousness throughout his life.
How amazing it would be if this is a gift we could all give our children as as soon as we aware of their presence.
I told this story to a special patient and friend when she discovered she was pregnant. We have come a long way together- i met her at my first BodyTalk Course( an energy healing modality that i practise) Since then she has being seeing me regularly for sessions. She is a successful career woman but also a very talented musician. She loved the idea and knew immediately the song she would choose- Gabriella's song from the profound movie- "As it is in Heaven"
(Please watch it if you haven't)
I imagine her husband with their baby on his chest, - and her, playing his soul song on the cello...soothing him into a heavenly sleep.

The Gift of Lorenza

I have always loved writing, in fact i would have studied journalism if....
Anyway, life directed me through the path of medicine, which i am truly grateful for.How beautiful that even through this path, i find myself collecting stories and growing through them.
I had heard about blogging but, being the technological retard that i am, didn't have a clue about how it worked... until i met Lorenza, beautiful Italian woman with twinkling eyes, who i met as a consequence of a life changing 12 week process called the Artist's Way by Julia Cameron.
I had suggested this book to some of my patients whose healing process i thought needed to involve accessing their creative potential. Watching how their lives began to transform, i felt drawn to expererience the process myself . Lorenza arrived at the first Artist's Way tea that i had organized.All 5 of us at that first gathering left feeling completely exhilirated and inspired by each other. We were particularly inspired by Lorenza who has had the courage to fulfill her passion for writing and establishing herself as a writer every single day through her blog. Check it out on: www.lorenza-pureenergy.blogspot.com to read more about her incredible story. Areally uplifting read.
A good friend once told me- "Every time someone does the Artist's way, something amazing happens" . Now i undertand what he meant.
Something incredible has happened. I now am able to share and be supported by a group of very special people and i have my own blog!
I now have a forum to share my experiences and thoughts as a doctor, healer and seeker.
This is the space where i finally get to create in a way that i have always dreamt of- through writing. I am bursting with ideas and excitement of what i'd like to write and share.
Until next time...

Medicine as Art

My inner artist has finally emerged. And now, have my given myself full permission to call myself an artist . My life is my art and i have embraced my work as a doctor as my art.
For so long i was feeling lost in the wilderness, having dedicated years of study of medicine and yet feeling like i was missing a huge piece ofmyself. I have gathered pieces of myself from the corners and shadows of my soul. I have given myself permission to be free, to work in a way that feels real and more true to who i am.
It has taken courage, failure, a broken heart and commitment to my purpose for me to emerge as an artist. Every day start with a brand new canvas, and as the day progresses the colours of emotion and shades of feeling emerge through my interaction with my patients.
Their joy and mine, their healing and mine , wisps of energy,blend together in the space between us, creating the art of healing.
