What If You Knew You Could Not Fail?

What Would You Do, If You Knew You Could Not Fail?

Life! Good, bad or indifferent, we are all participating in it. So, how’s it going for you? Do you feel like the captain at the helm, or rather like a feather on the breeze, pulled this way and that, at the mercy of whatever life throws at you?

The truth is, we are all, to some extent, subject to the changing nature of life and what it throws at us. We cannot control every aspect of our lives and if we believe we can then we are deluded. What we can control is our responses to situations and the degree to which we allow life’s events to determine how we live our lives.

‘Failure’ is a nasty word in our language that is used to label and demean and criticise the efforts of others (and ourselves). It is something that paralyses many of us and stops us from trying to achieve our hopes and dreams because of our fear of failure.

Like it or not, life is going to continue to change, move, evolve and happen around us. And the truth of the matter is that the only failure that exists is the failure to participate.

Life is filled with challenges. Many of us consider this to be a bad thing and yet challenge is what helps us to grow and experience and achieve things that we would not achieve otherwise. So are you allowing challenges and the fear of failure to paralyse you and keep you stuck? Or are you willing to think outside the square, get out of your comfort zone and find solutions to those challenges rather than blame them for your current state of affairs.

If we choose to blame events or other people for our circumstances we become victims to life. Blame puts us in a position of powerlessness and takes away our ability to find satisfactory solutions to problems. Life is not defined by the problems we have, but how we choose to meet those problems. The greatest achievements arise out of adversity.

So, as long as you continue to participate, YOU CANNOT FAIL. Sure, you’re going to make some mistakes along the way.  That is all part of the process. You cannot succeed unless you make mistakes. Provided you learn from them, with each mistake you make, you are one step closer to success.

And sometimes success is just one more failure away. How will you know unless you keep trying? There is a terrific saying, “It is better to try and fail than to fail to try”.

So, what’s going to be better for you? To stay a victim, blaming everybody and everything else for your situation, and ultimately never have the opportunity to realise your dreams? Or to keep trying until you succeed and realise your dreams. Because that’s the truth of it. If you don’t give up, you are destined to succeed.

Wishing you success, freedom and happiness,

Realising Happiness

Hi all,

I feel compelled to share my experience with you all from a new phenomenon that is sweeping the world called the Oneness Blessing or Deeksha as it is known in India.

This movement was started a few years ago by two avatars who were born with an extraordinarily high state of consciousness and are now helping others to raise their states of consciousness and free themselves from their pain.  And the best thing is that it is completely passive.  What I mean you don’t have to spend years meditating, or in therapy, or doing anything, except receiving!

Now I’ve either got your interest or you’ve switched off thinking I’ve been taking drugs. Well, I can honestly say I have not.  But the amazing thing is that I really am not interested in what your perception is.  This is a new experience for me!

As you know I am a great advocate of EFT and have had many incredible breakthroughs with Emotional Freedom Technique and still use it almost every day.  I believe it is responsible for helping me being where I am right now in my life.  However, the Deeksha I have received in recent times has accelerated this experience to another extraordinary level.

I had my first Deeksha in about August last year.  It was a group gathering and the blessing givers (there is a 21 day process in India to initiate blessing givers) gave each of us 4 blessings that day.  A blessing entails the giver placing their hands on the receivers head (although the blessing can also be given over distance) and facilitating an energy transfer that closes down the brains primal or fear centres and opens up the frontal cortex which increases our connection to the Divine. 

On this day I felt a sense of peace and tranquility which was nice.  I also noticed brief (very brief) gaps in the incessant thoughts that continually parade through my mind day, after day, after day.  It was nice.

My second gathering I received 3 blessings and again it was nice.  I felt a deeper sense of peace and tranquility and I knew something had shifted but again it was subtle, but the experience was definitely deeper.

The third experience was just a few days ago and the result has been truly profound.  I received 7 blessings that day which kind of blew my circuits a bit.  The following 4 days I was laid very low with a cold which is most unusual for me.  As a health practitioner I am very conscious of my nutrition and I haven’t had such a debilitating experience with sickness for many years.  But through it I knew the reason: I had received a deep spiritual shift and I was cleansing and integrating.

As I began to feel better this afternoon I noticed something very exciting.  I no longer associate happiness with anything “out there”.  I thought I had worked on that issue and I didn’t think that I was dependant on the external to determine how I felt.  How wrong I was.  I won’t waffle on forever as our language is completely inadequate to describe the deep sense of inner peace I now feel. It is the most empowering feeling as I now feel completely free to follow my heart without concern for the outcome.  I now have a deep inner knowing that I am completely supported by the Universe as I allow myself to do whatever fills my heart.  Does this mean I am going to sit on my lounge and watch movies while I eat chips and chocolate for the rest of my life?  Absolutely not!!!  It means my only consideration now is what fills my soul; what inspires me; what is my purpose?  And I know everything else will follow.

I have come a very long way in recent years because of EFT and I have achieved many things subsequently. Also, the work I have done has paved the way for me to be able to make this new profound shift in my life.

As with everything, everybodies experience is different. There were no fireworks or out of body experiences for me. Nothing of the sort. Each shift was subtle and each has deepened my sense of self and connection with the Divine and I am really looking forward to my future Deeksha’s because this part of my journey is just beginning.  How exciting is that?????

If you feel inspired to I encourage you to investigate this beautiful process and make your own decision as to whether if it something you to would like to experience.  Visit www.onenessuniversity.org. 

Your Mind Can Create and Cure Cancer

Hi there,

I discovered this video posted by Dr Mercola and wanted to share it with you all as an inspiration to those with cancer, or any other illness or condition I find it extremely exciting that science is now embracing that anything is possible with the power of the mind.

 

Breakthrough!

Hi there.  Marguerita here, and I just had to share with you one of the most incredible moments of my life that came just 2 days ago. 

But first, a little background.  If you have read my story on this blog, then you will know that my life has been a little ‘different’.  I have tried many things and failed many times.  And when I failed, I would pick myself up, brush myself off, make some changes to my method or direction and try again.  This has not always been easy.  In fact, there have been times when it has been incredibly emotionally distressing.  To keep trying, creating some of the best opportunities possible, and then having them amount to nothing for seemingly no reason, was incredibly frustrating and at times soul destroying. 

Don’t get me wrong.  I have been very blessed in my life and don’t claim to have insurmountable odds to overcome in order to achieve great things.  This has possibly been the most frustrating and confusing thing of all.  To hear inspirational stories of people who have come from circumstances that are so difficult, even desperate, and have achieved things I would not dare to even dream of, would break my heart when I have been gifted with such fortunate circumstances and couldn’t make anything work.  It was incredibly confusing. 

Several years ago I read a book called “The Power of The Subconscious Mind” by Joseph Murphy and this was the beginning of my world in conscious creation.  This developed over the years, to the point where I saw the movie “The Secret” which struck a deep chord within me.  Inspite of the glaring omissions from this movie, I immediately understood its’ message and filled in the blanks from all that I had read over the previous few years and took my conscious creation to a new level.   

I soon discovered some of the most powerful healing tools on the planet and met some very gifted healers who helped accelerate my healing journey.  All the time I asked many questions, including “Why haven’t I been able to achieve my goals and realise my dreams?”.  I kept asking these questions over and over wondering why I wasn’t hearing the answers!  

My healing over the past year during 2007 has been incredibly powerful and accelerated (though often not fast enough as patience is not one of my strong points), and often very difficult.  I have shifted so much subconscious negativity and faced a lot of buried pain.  And, finally, two days ago, came the moment I had been seeking.   

I was sitting with a cherished friend and colleague and we were discussing my gift for expending great amounts of energy and making my life more difficult than it needs to be.  This is a conversation we have had a few times before.  All that we talked about and she shared made so much sense, intellectually and emotionally.  And yet, there was something missing, just as there always had been. 

Then a thought struck me, that fact that the work we do as energy healers brings peoples pain to the surface.  Though we do not cause the pain, we cannot, we are responsible for bringing it to their attention so they can repair the damage and heal.  This is also causing and will continue to cause a great deal of upheaval and confusion within the world as the torment and pollution of the human mind is reflected by the human condition and mother nature.  Collectively, the healers work rocks the foundations of the human spirit and consequently the world.  This is necessary, but this is why I have continued to sabotage everything I have ever strived for.   

Subconsciously I have been unwilling to admit that my work will cause people to acutely feel their pain and this was unacceptable to me.  I want to heal peoples’ pain, not cause them to feel the depth of it.  So, subconsciously I put the breaks on.  I refused to allow myself to succeed if this is what it meant.  I wanted no part of it.   This realisation immediately bought a flood of tears.  I finally heard the answer I had been seeking. 

This understanding now means I can step into my truth fully, be who I truly am, and realise all my dreams.  Do I want to witness the pain of others?  Of course not!  But I know that in realising the pain they have pushed deep inside that people can heal and become whole.  How do I know this? Because this is what I have recently done. 

I still have more work to do to continue my healing journey. I don’t think that will ever end during my life time.  But I believe I have healed the worst of my pain. So, the 20^th of December 2007 will forever be one of the most empowering moments in my life and I am so excited about my future.  I now believe that there is nothing I cannot achieve. I hope my story inspires you to seek healing, follow your passion and realise your dreams. 

Love,
Marguerita

We Have NO EXCUSE!

It’s December 22^nd, 2007 and I have just finished watching an incredibly inspirational TV program about another wonderful project that Oprah Winfrey has undertaken.  Myself and my husband were in tears through much of the program (don’t tell him I told you, it will be our little secret……sssssssssshhhhhhhhhh!) and I felt inspired to write my thoughts and share them with you. 

The TV program was called “Building A Dream” which showed how Oprah has spent years building a “Leadership Academy for Girls” in South Africa.  She and her team then carefully chose a group of South Africa’s brightest and best young black South African girls to attend the school.   All of their tuition, board, etc is paid for and if they wish to carry on to University after their graduation, Oprah will pay for this too, at any University of their choosing, anywhere in the world!   

Whatever anybody says about this woman, she is a true inspiration and thank God for the Oprah Winfrey’s of this world who have the courage and determination to really make a difference of such magnitude. 

What truly touched me is the amazing story of these young girls and how they have lived through such enormous hardship and trauma in their lives that for most of us would be unimaginable, but still remain so bright and positive and determined with their schooling.  They have never stopped striving to be the best they can be and have a dream to make a difference. These girls don’t come from privileged families. In fact most of the houses they were in have no running water or electricity.  Many have outhouses for toilets and some families lived in tin lean-to’s.  There were many stories of girls who had lost one or both of their parents, either to suicide or aids or violent crimes and many of them were being raised by their grandmothers or other family members. To travel to and from school was often treacherous, risking sexual abuse and rape, even death, just by wandering through their communities to get to the bus that would take them to school.  And they still choose to go.  

Oprah herself came from similar circumstances and has aspired to the kind of greatness few of us would dare to even imagine, let alone do what it takes to realise her achievements.   I felt so inspired by these girls who have such incredible odds against which they are persevering and winning!!  And yet, we, who have everything virtually given to us on a platter, very rarely aspire to realise our dreams or to make a real difference in the world.   

WE HAVE NO EXCUSE!!!! 

We are born into lives and circumstances many of these South African girls would not even realise were possible and yet we squander our opportunities for the best education, the best careers and then being able to give back once we have aspired to the great heights we are all so capable of. 

It made me wonder what is the difference between those who have so little and we who have so much? Perhaps we have too much and it’s all too easy.  I don’t believe life is ‘meant to be difficult’, but I do believe that the human spirit is at it’s most powerful and creative when rising to a challenge.   

Does this mean I think those who have to strive for the basics that we take for granted are better off?  Certainly not!  What I believe is that our circumstances empower us to set greater challenges and reach for greater heights that in turn enables others of smaller fortunes to achieve great things.   

We have no excuse for not reaching for our dreams. 

We have no excuse for not sharing our incredible wealth with the millions who are suffering and enduring unimaginable pain and circumstances.

We know we are capable of so much and yet we give up all too easily. 

I believe the reason we give up at the slightest adversity because we already have so much, it’s just easier to leave the hard stuff to somebody else and live a life of mediocrity in relative comfort.   

WE ARE WASTING THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE OPPORTUNITY! 

Alone, we can achieve great things, but as a community we are capable of the impossible.   These girls are not consumed by their anger or bitterness toward their circumstances like so many of us.  They are not paralysed by their misfortune or dwelling on why they ‘can’t’.  Instead they remain focused and positive and rise above their situation to triumph against incredible odds. I feel positively ashamed that I have allowed so many little things to stand in the way of reaching my goals. 

I’m not saying I haven’t tried, but I have not persisted in the face of such adversity as theirs. Sure, things get tough sometimes.  Much of the magic of our journey is overcoming our obstacles and triumphing in spite of them.  It is when things are toughest that we must come together to support each other and achieve what others will say is impossible. 

So, what is my dream?  What am I referring to in my life?   I am referring to helping to create a peaceful, loving planet.  Many are already tirelessly working toward this seemingly impossible dream.  And I know it is possible.  I know, that no matter what treacherous and hideous acts our human race is capable of, we are all capable of love that is unimaginably more powerful and beautiful than the most heinous crime ever committed against another living thing. 

It is this for which we who have so much must strive for.   We must stand up and draw on the inspiration of those such as Oprah Winfrey, Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, Princess Diana and so many other inspirational modern day heroes who have aspired to greatness.  These people who have worked tirelessly and overcome great challenges in order to improve the human condition and to bring awareness and, most importantly, to share their love with the world in the most selfless and productive way possible………………..by their actions! 

So, ask yourself, what is holding you back from your dreams?  What is your gift?  And don’t think that you don’t have one, because we are all born with the most amazing gifts. 

What is your passion?  This is where your journey lies. 

If you can’t answer these questions, then start asking and keep asking until the answer appears. And if, like me, you have tried and failed so many times that you feel emotionally exhausted and unable to keep hoping and striving because the failures hurt too much, then ask what is holding you back.  What belief systems are keeping you from achieving great things?  And keep asking until you hear the answer. 

I have been asking that very question constantly for almost 2 years and just 2 days ago, on the 20^th of December, 2007, the answer finally came to me.  It was literally an epiphany that struck me instantly and had such an impact that I sobbed for some minutes.  I immediately knew that this was the belief system that had caused me to sabotage my hard work and opportunities so many times.  And I have a deep knowing that just having this understanding has disempowered all obstacles I will ever face in the future and gives me the strength to continue to persevere and strive for my dreams, no matter how great and seemingly impossible. 

This is not a call to throw away all your earthly possessions and wealth and live a life of abject poverty dedicating all your time and energy to the service of others.  Far from it!  Look at the incredible work Oprah, Bill Gates, Steve and Terri Irwin and many others because of the wealth they have created and enjoy.  Wealth gives us power!  And these people enjoy their freedom and their ability to live well.  This is your gift to yourself!  And nobody is more deserving than you to have everything your heart desires.  Never question this because it is truth. 

By achieving great things, we show by example what is possible and inspire others to greatness.  By small acts of selfless giving and kindness, we show our love and enable others to open their hearts. Dream big, and act on those dreams and you can achieve great things. 

And the key is persistence.  There is a saying of people being an overnight success.  Very, very few of those who achieve greatness have done so without overcoming great odds.  Those in our world who have become the greatest teachers, mentors and idols are those who have persisted against the odds and never given up.  Most have taken many years of hard work and commitment to  achieve what most of us dare to dream. 

If you wish to find out more about the story I am referring to, go to http://www2.oprah.com/presents/2007/academy/academy_main.jhtml.    

Of course there are many other people who do great and inspirational work.  If you have a specific person who inspires you, follow their actions.  Stay in touch with their work so you can continue to be inspired particularly when things are toughest. I hope this article and Oprah’s story with inspire you to follow your dreams, find your passion, share your gifts with others, and make a difference. Merry Christmas and may all your dreams come true In 2008. 

Love,
Marguerita 

Merry Christmas Everybody!

Hi All,

Just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I have been particularly slack this year and I haven’t even sent out cards.  Sorry about that. 

So, what I decided to do is sing you a Christmas Carol.  Myself and my singing partner, Elke Hook, sang at Ryde Christmas Carols this year (as we do every year) and somebody video’d some of the performance. 

 

 Wishing you lots of joy, love and happiness this festive season.

Love,
Marguerita

My Story

G’day friend! 

It’s great to welcome you to my blog!

I’m sitting in my lounge room early in the morning on the Central Coast of NSW in Australia. The dogs, or fur family, (that’s 2 rottweiler’s and a lab) are playing together, or should I say systematically destroying the house! It’s a cold and wet spring day, and I’m really excited because this is my first ever blog and I have so much I want to share with you.

You see, this whole human thing is proving to be a real trip for me and now I have the opportunity to share my experience with the rest of the world. 

I’ll begin at the beginning.  Don’t stress, I’ll try to keep it brief!

As a kid, I always felt really different, though I didn’t know why, and I was treated as such.  My peers were far from kind. I reckon they knew just how different I was 30 years before I had any idea. People don’t like “different”, they seem to find it threatening.  So at school I was largely teased and ostracized which, as a 6 year old, is a little hard to understand.

 Anyway, I fuddled my way through.  I was intellectually gifted but quickly learnt to dumb myself down so I wasn’t noticed in class; I loved the stage and the stage loved me (what a way NOT to stand out, get on stage and scream “look at me”!!!)  I also had a pretty good singing voice which made me pretty popular in school musicals and plays.  At least nobody picked on me for that – go figure!

So I got through those years feeling pretty much like an ugly duckling and not knowing why.  Little did I know that there was a beautiful swan so desperately trying to emerge.

The next 20 years were interesting, and disappointing. I dropped out of Uni after 2 years of computer science (what a boring subject that was), I bummed around at home for a couple of years and then I was accepted into the Queensland Conservatorium of Music as a vocalist which shocked the hell outa me!  The next 10 months were pure bliss.  I had to pinch myself each day as I walked up to the Conservatorium building. I felt I had found my place in life and like I was finally amongst people who understood me.

This was really short lived because after that first year, the Conservatorium decided I was not “acceptable” to be a part of their clan (sheez, here we go again!). I was devastated.  Thankfully, at the same time, I fell in love with my future husband.  This kept me sane.  An Australian Soldier, I spent the next 12 years following him from one posting to the next around Australia.  I worked hard with private singing teachers attempting to keep my dream alive of becoming an Opera Singer.  As much as I was very gifted, technically I was never brilliant.  I struggled to just allow my true voice to blossom by trying too hard to be perfect (this seems to be an unfortunate trait of mine!).  So the general public loved to hear me sing, but the “experts” just saw all the flaws.

So, after years of hard work and determination, coupled with a rejection after rejection, I started my own Opera group.  I figured that if nobody else would give me the opportunity to prove myself then I would take the bull by the horns and show them myself!  I knew some fabulous singers and we got together and rehearsed lots.  I put up the money and co-ordinated everything. 

Singers came and went. Nobody had my patience or stamina (or incredibly stubborn streak!). They had lives and when results were not forthcoming, they just fell away.  I persisted for 5 years, but I was a singer, not a promoter, or agent, or marketing expert.  And you know, it doesn’t matter how good your product / act, if you ain’t got the marketing, you ain’t got nothin’!

At the tender age of 36, and after spending much of our had earned cash on this opera thing (this was becoming a little unpopular with my ever loving life partner) something really strange started happening to me (yeah, even stranger than the rest of my life!).  I started having spontaneous cathartic reactions where my body, particularly my arms, would just start moving uncontrollably all by themselves!  This was pretty scary to start with, particularly since I was brought up Catholic……………I thought I was possessed or something.  I mean, being woken up at 2am by suddenly uncontrollably sitting bolt upright in bed with my arms flailing around all on their own, just imagine!  Pretty scary stuff!  Thankfully, I had become associated with some pretty amazing spiritual healers and they supported me and encouraged me through this bizarre period and stopped me from admitting myself to the luny ward at the local hospital.  As time went on, the spontaneous gyrations started to take some form and actually became quite beautiful.  I still didn’t understand them, but there was definitely a purpose to their existence and I learned to control when and where they happened.  I was able to go out in public again!  Pfew!

More people who would be instrumental in my development suddenly started appearing in my life and gradually it all came together.  It turns out I am a sound and energy healer.  You see, I speak the Language of Light which is also referred to as the Language of the Heart, or the Language of the Angels.  I have been speaking this language in my sleep for years, so my husband used to tell me frequently in the mornings ……………….. “Honey, you’ve been speaking that weird language again!” 

This just happens to be an incredibly powerful healing language as it speaks directly to our higher consciousness or our cellular memory (are you seriously weirded out yet?  If not, you’re doing better than me! Thankfully I am accustomed to being treated like a freak, at least now I know there is a good reason for it!). 

Believe it or not, I am really just like you.  A girl (almost 40 and I still think of myself as a ’girl’, yep, definitely deluded – not to mention I am having little conversations with myself on my first ever blog that I want to share with the world, the luny ward’s looking better all the time!) who has been trying to find where she fits almost all her life, and survive the many challenges life brings.

Anyway, this language, combined with my vocal gift, actually has the power to heal people physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally!  How cool is that?  It’s really quite special and I feel very blessed to have this amazing gift.  And you see, this is why I’ve posted this blog (I do get to the point eventually ……. my husband tells me that I can be quite long winded …… maybe he’s right!)  I desperately want to share this gift with the world.  I am still amazed at the incredible stories people tell me about what they experience when they hear me sing with the intention to heal.  Pain disappears, anxiety and stress fades away, some go on incredible journeys to other worlds, others feel their hearts open or even explode (that’s in a spiritual sense, not literally thank God!), many say they feel like they go home and the majority say that they feel changed for forever.  A vast number of listeners are moved to tears (I think that’s a good thing???) and everybody has a deep sense of inner peace following the healing.

There’s plenty of stuff on the web about sound healing and light language if you want to know more.  Just google it, or you can visit my website at www.soundhealingguaranteed.com.  I’ve also listed some good sites on the right hand side if you want to find out more.

And I’d love to hear from you too!  If you have any experience with healing and sound, or you want to ask some questions, go ahead.  I’m going to keep sharing my journey with you because this is just the beginning and I get the distinct impression it’s gonna get lots more interesting from here on in! 

So, have a great day and come back soon to find out what’s happening in my weird world!

Cheers,

Marguerita
