One of the things that brings me a lot of bliss is having a sense of space.  Being autistic and quite sensitive (ie acutely aware of everything!!) ‘having enough space’ is a necessity for my overall wellbeing.  I simply don’t function without it.

Without a sense of space, it feels like my whole world collapses into a tiny claustrophobic box that is about to suffocate me. I lose the sense of being me. Do you know what I’m talking about?

I am also discovering my need for space becomes greater as I become more acutely aware of the thoughts, feelings and emotions of other people. So as I expand my psychic awareness of everything in the universe, I require a lot more space!  

I used to be able to create space by immersing myself in a nurturing physical space such as nature or a calm dark room with no stimulation.  These tools still work, but not nearly as well as they used to!

No More Space Invaders!

A couple of weeks ago I was at an Access Consciousness™ class in a remote part of beautiful New Zealand where there was lots of space (that's a picture of the gorgeous beach at the Carrington Resort above).  And yet I still felt like I was in that tiny box! It sent me into a mini-meltdown as I couldn't stand to be near almost anyone, despite the space and beauty around me!! Truly!! How does that work?

And just yesterday some selfish and insensitive people sat right on top of me in a café that had plenty of other seating choices - it made me more than a little cranky!  I had just been for a beautiful walk in Noosa National Park and felt as big as the universe… until they and their small minds thoughtlessly invaded my space!  

Being as aware as I am, space invasion mostly feels like a daily occurrence to me. (Quietly hides under covers in dark bedroom while wanting to scream...)

So what could change this? 

We identify this need for space as physical, emotional or mental and we usually go searching for solutions in those areas, often with little success.

After the mini-meltdown in New Zealand I discovered (thanks to the magical Dr Dain Heer) that if I ask ‘How much space can I occupy?’ and then ‘How much MORE space can I occupy?’ at least 10 times or so, the energy will lighten up and I will feel a lot less like my space is being invaded and a lot more like ME!  

Dr Dain explained that anywhere that I feel like my space is contracted is where I have made my energy as small as the people I am around.  Oops! That would be me being cute but somewhat insane!! 

Now that I am aware that my universe is a whole lot bigger than most people’s, I am much more able to be around people without feeling tiny and insignificant and squashed and suffocated!  You see, none of that contraction is actually mine… a quick return to sender is definitely in order!! And conscious awareness of bliss becomes mine once more!

What else is possible? 

You’ll need to be on our email list to find out!  I’m gifting a heap of new ideas and possibilities to BlissTribe subscribers over the next few months as we start to evolve BlissTribe into a community that creates greater and different choices in the world!

Do you realise there is a difference between a fantasy and creating a possibility you truly desire to see in the world?  This short video with Dr Dain Heer gifts you a great tool for not getting stuck in fantasy realities when you would really like to be creating something totally different! 



What would you be willing to see about the possibilities and potentials before you that is not a fantasy that could totally change your life if you would choose to have it?

A couple of weeks ago I had the gift of 4 days with Gary Douglas, Founder of Access Consciousness and wow, did I have my fantasy world rearranged!  I'm so not looking to build castles in the air anymore - it's exhausting!!

Instead I'm looking for the playful creative energy that already exists that allows me to create the changes I wish to see in the world... and that is a totally different feeling to wishing and hoping for something that has no energetic base... that is just a figment of my imagination... we value imagination but what if following the energy of what is possible can actually deliver something much greater than we can imagine?

And you know what else?  When we stop following fantasies and start following the energy of possibilities, all of a sudden there is a whole lot less that is required of us, there is a whole lot more ease and joy and amazing stuff just shows up without us even trying... so how does it get better than that?  Would you be willing to find out??

After all, bliss is simply the energies of love, lightness and joy... so would you like more of that in your life?  It's just a choice to have more consciousness about what you are creating :)

I had a great giggle at this... it made me ask a lot of questions :)



I loooooooove how this girl gave each of these people the opportunity to see the world differently!!

• How much do we have fixed points of view about how things 'should be'?
• How much do we love to control the outcomes rather than go with the flow?
• How much do our expectations dictate our responses?
• How much judgment are we willing to receive for doing things 'my way'?
• How much joy is there in having no point of view about something being 'right or wrong'?
• How much freedom could we have if we found the humour in everything we experience?
• How much fun can we have NOT meeting everyone else's expectations?

Just a few of the ideas that came to mind as I giggled my way through this playful video... enjoy your Friday!!

Today I have a gift for you that can be literally life-changing.  Have you ever wondered if there is an easier way to create greater possibilities than you have used so far?

I have been playing with the awesome Access Consciousness tools for three years now and have had many an unexpected possibility show up with ease.  In the last couple of weeks I have been working closely with the Access Consciousness team to produce a series of 12 introductory e-classes around the theme of Creating Greater Possibilities.

I am delighted to share these classes with you for free!  Ten tools that are simple and easy to use,  that can change everything if you choose!  All you need to do is sign up at CreatingGreaterPossibilities.com and you’ll start receiving the tools via email.  There’s some cool videos and audios and surprising examples of the difference the tools can make – I hope you enjoy using the tools as much as I have!

Choose Bliss!

PS If you have any questions, there are some introductory classes running in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast in July 2011 - or you can email your questions in and Gary Douglas will answer them in class - recordings are available if you can't be there in person! Details on the Creating Greater Possibilities website. How does it get even better than that??

I often look back at my life in awe.  All those jobs that I really didn’t enjoy provided me with the perfect mix of skills and experiences for creating the joyful businesses I now have the pleasure of playing with!

When I really delve into it, I can see exactly why every single one of those experiences happened how it did.  Through my choice, and for my ultimate benefit (even though it definitely didn’t feel like it at the time!)

And now, as I’m going through a personal situation I am finding quite challenging at times, I am discovering a peace with it. This morning for the first time I saw it was possible to have this same internal knowing that whatever it looks like on the surface, and whatever happens, ultimately it will be perfect!

And so it is with all of the ‘negative’ experiences we choose… they hold us up, spin us out, create havoc and ultimately show us different possibilities which could never arise if we didn’t start to look at what else is possible amongst the chaos we sometimes find ourselves in.

So today, I have much gratitude that everything is in perfect order… and I’m willing to choose even more ease, joy, bliss and abundance in my living than I’ve ever had before!

Please know I’m not saying that we should lie down and take everything that drops into our life without question… there’s always choice! So, on those ‘not-so-perfect’ but ultimately absolutely perfect days, here’s a question you can ask to start changing the energy into something closer to what you desire:

What energy, space and consciousness can I contribute to my living today and in the future that will generate, create, and institute more than I imagine possible?

You don’t have to answer it, just be willing to follow your own knowing about what’s required to create a blissful change, within you or externally!

What will you do today to choose bliss, despite what your external reality is displaying?

My head is spinning.  Six long deep insightful extraordinary conversations in less than a week and more on the way...  I feel like Alice in Wonderland… my exploration of just Being was the cake. Eating it with delight spun me into the rabbit-hole.  Now I’m in an awesome wonderland of possibilities I had no idea existed just a week ago. WOW, how does it get even better than that?

If you’ve met me, you’ll know I love a good conversation.  I love exploring new possibilities, discovering more about the mysteries of the universe and what else is possible...  Love creating new ideas out of serendipitous moments, casual encounters and conscious collaborations.  This is my idea of bliss – in living and business.

Last week all of that and more showed up like a waterfall after a storm, washing away the old debris and cascading a flow of awareness beyond my imagination.  Ideas are falling together with ease. Connections are showing up as lightly as a butterfly floats from flower to flower.  There has been much joy, laughter and awesome aha moments… the path into wonderland truly is bliss!

I started BlissTribe knowing it was demanding to exist, but not knowing what it was, what it was to create and generate or what it looked like in a tangible sense (yes I know you are probably thinking that’s pretty strange for a business coach who can see connections in everything!!).  I didn’t even know why the name… I just had a knowing that the name was perfect…

For almost twelve months I have found it difficult to put into words and impossible to explain my vision – I could feel the magic of it but it was still very intangible.  So I’ve been playing with what it feels like, but not really knowing what it is… that creative, out of control ‘what else is possible?’ energy has become very familiar in the past year!

Each of us has turning points where nothing will ever be the same in our lives. These conversations have delivered that beyond measure for me. The missing pieces of the puzzle were delivered with ease and I am standing on the highest mountaintop in wonderland, seeing paths connect in the most perfect of ways!  Like an oil painting, the layers are forming a vision way beyond what I first imagined.

When we choose to step up into our potency, our being and our joy, the universe delivers infinite possibilities.  This week I felt to connect with people that feel good to me, that felt aligned to my (previously unexplainable) vision, even though on the surface I wasn’t at all clear what the connection was in most cases.

These conversations were full of joy, freely and naturally exploring our individual projects and ideas from the energy of “what can we contribute and how can we collaborate?” This expansive curiosity has delivered the most stunning ideas, possibilities and potentials for creating new adventures for all of us. I’ll share more on the tangible outcomes as they start to take shape!

The essence of this experience is one we can all have if we choose.  If you are willing to be the energy of the awesome project you desire to bring into the world (even if you don’t know what it looks like yet), you will attract a buzz of people who want to taste the essence of your special nectar.  

When you are willing to explore possibilities without having a point of view about there needing to be a purpose or an outcome, just having conversations and connections for the joy of it, you are BEing the essence of your business or project and you are tapping into the space of oneness where we are all connected.  It is this that creates the magic.  Go forth into the world and create more than you ever dreamed possible… when you BE the flow, the doing becomes effortless!  It really is as simple as ‘What’s next?’

How much more joy can we all create in our beautiful world by playing with the infinite possibilities that await if we choose?  If you could have anything in your life, what would you choose?  Choice creates everything.  NOW is the time! You are an infinite BEing, with unlimited possibilities… what bliss will you invite into your playground of possibilities?

Conversations like these allow you to remember who you truly BE and to have awareness of everything you know deep in your being… they allow you to perceive more about what’s possible and they allow you to receive gifts of awareness and gratitude from people that love you more than you can ever imagine…

Do you remember how satisfying that feeling of discovery and connection is to your soul? What if you could choose that every day? Focus on BEing and this energy will arrive in your life with ease.  We are one with everything… there is nothing that is impossible.

(With thanks to the many gorgeous people who shared these luscious conversations with me... you know who you are!!)
