Hello Loyal Perth followers!!!

It's Amber here, raw and quickly typed while I enjoy my night time herbal tea and 5 minutes peace. :)

I wanted to touch base with you all to reconnect, to say 'hi' and to let you know the dates I am back in Perth working this month! yay!!! yippee, cant wait! been hanging out!

Next Perth Dates:

Saturday 21st May & Sunday 22nd May

I work from a beautiful new space called - Sacred Space Community Centre - 90 Birdwood St Innaloo.

The change from mum and dads in Stirling has been a bit of a transition. All up in total I have worked from Mum and Dads place for 5 years. It wasn't a decision we took lightly and I had to break the news to Mum and Dad carefully as they had grown to know most of you over the years and felt like part of the show.

Mum is missing her catch ups with you all, Dad misses the cars coming and going and they both miss me popping in and out and sharing stories with them at the end of a working day.  But I felt it was time to find somewhere fresh, something new this time on my return to working in Perth.

I spoke to Vanessa, who owns and runs Sacred Space in January when I attended a school holiday yoga and aromatherapy program with my kids. I remember I felt incredibly nurtured and 'at home' at Sacred Space and we got chatting about rooms for rent, me looking to transition back to working in Perth monthly and find a new space.... and the rest unfolded authentically and without any mountains to climb.

I am grateful for such a beautiful space to work from and hope you feel the same warm welcome the centre offers, on your next visit.

You have all been so loyal to Amber Healing, some of you reading this may feel like a blast from the past as we haven't connected for a few years since I was living in Perth, I have been going through my filing cabinet tonight and realised a large number of you were not on our mailing data base.

The Floating Forest - Denmark

www.thefloatingforest.com.au

I want to share my first magical floating experience with you, after years of wanting to give it a go. It went a little something like this: We spent the weekend in Denmark, WA camping with friends for the Easter long weekend. I noticed the Floating Forest advert in a Denmark Tourism Magazine and booked in straight away. This is an experience I have been wanting to try for a long time.

We arrived at the Floating Forest to a gentle misty rain falling and the song from the birds in the trees that surround the beautiful space.

We are introduced to the pod room and instructed to enjoy a shower then hop in the pod and enjoy an hour of weightless magic.Their brochure suggests, 'Floating is about everything that you won't be doing.’ There is 500 kilos of Epsom salts in the water which is kept at a comfortable 35.5 degrees. You literally float, completely weightless, completely relaxed while all your senses are switched off.

Earplugs are worn as your ears are completely submerged. Only your face is above the water line, the rest of you floats effortlessly.

I felt excited, I rushed through my shower and fumbled to get the ear plugs in, I couldn't wait to finally submerge in the float pod. I was a little concerned the wearing of earplugs could drown out the sound of the gentle calming music that had started playing from within the pod. Once I finally settled in and slid under the water, the music seemed as though it was directly in my head. The earplugs didn't affect the sound at all. Total bliss out started.

I felt absolute weightlessness. Heavy, incredibly grounding.The thoughts that floated in, floated out as easily as they entered. Not once did I feel claustrophobic, scared, out of control. I explored moving my arms and legs around in different positions. But ended up resting in a natural star fish position as I floated away.

It was a most wonderful experience. To feel your body completely submerged in the tank, gentle oscillating coloured lights setting the atmosphere. Calming music filled the pod and as I closed the lid, I sunk into nothingness. The music stopped after a few minutes. I could hear my heart beat soften within minutes of being submerged. Complete clarity and deep relaxation followed once I got in the swing of the flow.... Or should I say float.

As my body started to feel heavy and lifeless, I allowed my mind to wander. All kinds of magical and interesting thoughts entered my head, I switched off the light in the pod, yet I still saw calming lights wander in and out of my vision. At one stage I remember, as a strange thought entered my mind, I had started to judge the thought.

Why on earth am I thinking of this right now??!!

I became aware this very thought was all part of this intriguing journey and I knew if I gave it any more thought and energy, it could awaken me from my zen like state.

As soon as I acknowledged that I was feeling negatively a single bubble formed somewhere under my back and it had started to shift, ever so slowly and gently up my back all the way up to behind my ear. Taking my focus off my negative thoughts, back to the body, back to the breath and my energy shifted. I drifted to a deeper conscious state and felt another bubble form under the opposite side of the body and end at the back of my opposite ear, calming the opposite side of the body as it tickled its way up.

I was drifting into a deep meditative state and I decided to invite my guides, my higher self in and I rested deeply and completely in my own heart energy. Allowing myself to feel completely self nurtured and allowing the feelings of love and adoration to wash over me, through me and within me. I completely let go of the train of my thoughts, as I rested in this water pod of stillness. I drifted off to sleep for what felt like hours.

Drifting effortlessly in the pod I allowed my mind to wander once more, this time, I came to my resting space, a space I had created in meditation years ago and I revisit often for solace and reconnection to myself when ever I feel the deep need to get in contact with myself for a check in. We (my self, my guides and my higher self) sat together on the greenest and softest grass and soaked up each others energy. It was a wonderful feeling, to reconnect with myself. long overdue in fact. I felt my physical vessel, which was sleeping in the pod, twitch and shift as I let go of all expectations and inhibitions. It was the most incredible experience.

The music started to play in my ears again and I knew the time to get out was drawing near. I started to stretch, uninhibited, weightless, gentle yet complete stretches, allowing the last bits of my body that were holding tension to settle and lengthen.

I tried to sit up to open the pod door a few times but the heaviness of my body in the water, wouldn't allow me go. It was the most amazing feeling. Better than waking and being told to go back to sleep for a while! Or maybe it was my conscious mind stepping in and saying, not just yet, one more minute.

I managed to muster the energy to open the pod and headed for the shower. I was feeling heavy yet had a lightness to my entire body as well. I didn't expect and intense clarity.

I sat and drank my lemongrass and ginger herbal tea that was prepared for me whilst I was showering. My mind is as clear as an empty room, my thoughts are full of inspiration, love, endless possibilities and an affirmation that keeps re-instilling itself over and over, "I am one with the universe, I am at peace, I am love."

I think I have found my new favourite pastime.  If you ever have the chance to, I suggest you give the floating pods a go!

Namaste

What brings you joy?

Hello Magical People! 

I have a question for you... What makes you tick?  What makes your eyes sparkle, the hair on the back of your neck stand on end proudly, what brings you pure joy? I recently received this question during a meditation. 

“What brings you joy, Amber?” I have been pondering this question for about 2 weeks now. I’m starting to think I should find a hobby, because the more I thought about the question, the more I thought there was no ONE thing that brings me pure joy.

I love hearing my kids’ infectious giggles. I love to hear kookaburras laughing out the front of our house in the afternoons. I love the feeling a diary full of work, social events and travel brings me. I love spending time with my girlfriends. I love learning more about, and opening up to my spirituality and my gifts. I love sharing these gifts and talents I have been blessed with. I thrive on your support, your loyalty, your love and when I receive feedback, any feedback, my heart sings! 

But again, I had this perception I had to find ONE thing that bought me pure joy. I started to look back over the years and try to pin point certain times and events that bought joy to my heart. But the more I thought, the more I realised they were moments, rather than activities. They are in the past, and only exist in my heart and memory. If I think about a time, such as the birth of our second son, a time that bought such clarity, purpose and intense joy to me at that moment, I can feel that moment of pure joy start to well in my heart again. Upon pondering this question whilst driving the two hours from Perth to Boddington I finally had that ‘aha’ moment. Everything brings me joy. This very moment brings me joy, knowing you are reading this blog now and will possibly share it with your loved ones brings me immense joy!  I have such a deep appreciation and respect for my own life and existence, that every single moment brings me joy. I hear you ask, “but what about the bad times Amber, how can you find joy in sickness and death, in pain and suffering?” And yes, those times suck. It happens to all of us. 

We recently had a sudden death in the family that rocked us all. I mourned deeply and with much sorrow. However, during my mourning I also acknowledged her life, and the joy she bought to the world, to every person she met. I acknowledged the joy of coming together with family and friends, regardless of the sad circumstances, the joy at reconnecting with loved ones we love that we live so far from, shone through the darkness. 

There can not be death without birth, there can not be sickness without health, there can not be dark without light! Our human existence depends on the duality of consciousness! Everything exists in duality! It’s important to know that when we are going through a rough moment, there will be light not long after. When there is pain, be it physical or emotional, the healing has already started to occur! We may not be aware of it, but it is happening! 

I spent 3 days over the weekend just past doing a course. I travelled to Perth to spend 3 days away from my loved ones, away from my beloved animals and from my husband who was on night shift. I explored my own comfort circle and expanded the borders  to challenge myself, to learn, to receive, to laugh and to connect deeply with other people and THIS BRINGS ME JOY! 

I live a truly incredible and inspirational life! I am truly blessed by a gorgeous family, we live in a stunning part of Western Australia, and I run a busy practice here at Amber Healing. I have been incredibly well received in the Boddington Community and I am so proud of this! 

Considering when we moved to Boddington 3 years ago, I was just going to 'play mummy for a while' to our two gorgeous little boys... then within 1 week of being here, I treated my first client... and the rest of you started knocking on the door soon after! It was then that I realised I live an abundantly joyful life! Now I look for joy, light, and love in every situation. What I have learnt from this is that in every situation there is joy. We just need to search for it, acknowledge it and accept it! I took my children to the pool this afternoon for a swim after school despite being exhausted after a huge weekend learning. My eldest resisted getting out to go home for over an hour. I remember catching myself in a moment of exhaustion about to turn into 'Grumpy Mummy', and thinking “would I be this nasty to myself? Why would he be so nasty and ignorant to me?  Everyone is a direct reflection of me right?”. Its true! I would never ignore my self, so why was he ignoring me? What was I to learn from this? 

I thought about this for a bit as I watched him play happily with his friends swimming confidently and giggling, I realised in that moment, HE was experiencing joy...and although in that very moment I was experiencing the opposite emotion, yet he was in pure joy mode! 

This equilibrated the situation immediately and I watched on as he played and connected with his mates. And in a strange way, I too felt joy from his pleasure. A quote I try to live by sums up this story perfectly. 

“at the deepest level, both science and philosophy agree on one thing, and that is that we are all one.” 

So I leave you with the question, what brings you joy? If you wish to share this story with your loved ones please feel free to. Eternally grateful, and full of love and laughter, Amber.
