A spiritual chic in the city...

Namaste!

As a spiritual chic living in the city I often find myself feeling claustrophobic and overwhelmed with all that comes with city life. The noise, pollution, people, smells, sights, lack of room to move, and at times the sheer ugliness of it all is just too much. If I could move out into the country or even better, a cabin in the woods, I would be there in a second. But it just isnt convenient for our lifestyle at the moment as my husbands work demands us to be living in a capital city.

Sure there are little patches of nature within the suburbs with parks etc. But it is the noise of people that gets to me. Somehow I need to drown out that noise, with the bliss that comes from turning my attention inwards. I need to feel that stillness and expansiveness that is my own spirit. And if I have to find that peace in the serenity of listening to a nature cd sitting at home, then that may have to do for now.

Fortunately we are soon to move house. At the top of my wish list will be a beautiful backyard with a garden, in a street that is away from a main road and noise. I am putting this out to the universe now. I will draw this to me.... to find a little piece of heaven inside the hustle and bustle of the city.

After all, there must be plenty of spiritually orientated people who have found inner peace with city life. There is certainly no reason that I cannot find it within myself.

Love, light and spirit to you all...

The little tricks of the Ego...

Namaste!

After recently realising how busy I have been lately, I also realised I have also been far too busy for my spiritual development, which used to be of a high priority for me. I started wondering why? Yes my work does keep me busy, as does my toddler son, husband and housework. But why is it that every time I sit and try to relax that my mind starts thinking through my "to do list" of life? I wondered why I have not been able to sit and rest, and just be in silence and meditate like I used to. And this has been happening for a few months now. There has always been time to spare for silence and spiritual connection previously. That got me thinking....

And the answer came. It isnt because I have less time or more to do. The source of my lack of time for my spirituality has been my Ego. Yes that little dark animal inside me that every now and then has a scratch and claw, inducing me into a moments of negativity. This doesn't happen often, but it still does as I am only human :)

But this time its different. This time my Ego is trying a different strategy, probably as it realises its up against a losing battle. All this energy shifting lately is allowing me to let go of more and more layers of Ego and negative thoughts etc. And with all the shifts and releasing, the Ego tries harder and harder to hang on and stay put. Well this time, its picked on my weakness, and that is my love and joy of my job/work. I have a spiritual based business and rely heavily on my intuition and connection to divinity to provide people with healing jewellery.

This is how my little animal of an Ego has been working: By keeping my mind busy and constantly thinking and doing, it has kept me from my spiritual development. It has kept me from my once daily ritual of connecting with the Divine, my meditation, the books I am writing, my healing work, and most importantly engaging with my family. My Ego is so afraid of its losing battle, the only thing left in my life that it could attack was my beloved work, my spiritual work. By checking emails, Facbook, invoicing, ordering, making, thinking, balancing the books, updating services, internet browsing etc although all necessary, has taken over my life. There is certainly no need for me to fill my life with all that. And that is all just Ego.

So there you go, my little tricks of the Ego. But now it has been realised, it will be just another layer I need to shed and release as I reach my true and authentic self, my spirit. The Ego is certainly a cunning little creature, but not anymore.... until it finds another weakness to prey on atleast.

Love, light and blessings to you all )0(

A Goddess in Training?

Namaste!

My name is Narelle, the "Goddess in Training". I began calling myself that as a result of having no name for my beliefs or way of life that is understandable to most people. My inner Goddess is my inner sacred feminine, the Great Spirit that lives within me. And as I am always learning and remembering this divinity, I consider myself to be in "Training". Therefore I am.... "A Goddess in Training".

As of late, I have had much on my mind, too much to keep inside my head. So here I am writing a blog, to release all this information, learnings, teachings, wisdom, and the countless questions that have been building up. Most of you know that I have a few Facebook pages dedicated to my creations etc where I express myself daily, but this is just not enough for me anymore.

We are shifting into a new world right now, the 5th world. The Golden Age, time of The Goddess, The Age of Aqaurius, a new Consciousness.... but also the time of the Throat Chakra (5th world, the 5th chakra). It is time for us all to be speaking our personal and divine truths. And this is one of my means of doing just that.

The intent of this Blog, is to not only give you a glimpse of my divine life and insight into my own energies and thoughts, but to uplift and enlighten you somewhat to a new and fresh way of looking at life and the world. And although I am still young I feel that I have something unique to offer you.

To those of you joining me, I hope you get much out of my words and enjoy sharing this journey with me.

Love, light and spirit to you my friends....
