I feel to share a little personal chapter of my story with you with the intention of inspiring and energising you…
Over the past year, I have been intentionally cultivating a new flow in my life, and its arrival has been like a wave of sweet, golden honey….a tsunami of JOY has arrived and it seems to be here for the long run. However, to get here I had to clear out some space.
That space was where I did “the work”. The chapter I dedicated to consciously dissolving fear-based distortion fields and loving and integrating the neglected parts of me—is largely coming to an end. I am deeply loved…by me. This took about 9 years (or 90 lifetimes?!).
However, by no means am I saying I am done…but it did free up an enormous amount of energy and attention I had been using to hold all that sh#t down (goodbye coping mechanisms!).
It’s beautiful because it is the same shadow work and inner-child healing I have been passionately facilitating in the lives of my courageous clients, and witnessing the same profound and lasting change. We are more present, more powerful, more gentle, more loving, more clearer on our path, and more consistently joyful. We’ve also had the support of this auspicious time on our planet of solar storms and spikes in the Schumann resonances effecting our brainwaves, DNA and heart rhythms.
Now I get to play.
Previous to this very intentional healing period, I had spent a couple of decades quite unconsciously working very hard to be enough, and to do, produce, and achieve in order to prove this. I would also spend endless hours a week in consumption of external ideas to make this work – seeking an external success model that would be my breakthrough. I’ve since learned that over-consumption blocks creation; just as overthinking blocks feeling.
But grace helped me step into a higher awareness, and off that merry-go-round.
This was the point several years back when I started my private practice to help my former niche of high achievers and perfectionists also see the truth of their programming: We were never required to prove our worth by doing, or comparing, or seeking external signals.
The days of living in the paradigm of hustling, busyness, seeking approval, escapism, and resting only when it feels like I’ve done enough—are over.
Now I am choosing to bring great joy into my life.
My direction centres around one word: Playfulness
I am no longer operating from force or mental management. Instead, I have learned to live from a place of presence and attunement, using the powerful technology of my heart and inner guidance system to attune to the field of love and connect with my highest possibilities for joy and playfulness in this life. It is not about a small-self identity that needs to be seen to feel worthy or that needs to have a “mission” to feel part of something greater. The mission is to be ME. I am being the change I want to see in the world.
Life has become an adventure again.
I have always loved The Hobbit (a perfect Hero’s Journey metaphor) and its inspiring tale of allowing the journey to unfold one day at a time, one step at a time, with a sense of adventure, mystery, and playfulness. The trials, enemies and allies we encounter along the way help shape us into who we yearn to become, our own greatest hero.
Along the path, we meet new characters, receive moments of rest and recovery, moments of play, moments of creativity, inspiration and productivity. There is a beautiful balancing of yin and yang, the divine feminine and divine masculine, allowing life to be appreciated from a creator’s perspective.
A life of play is awakening from the trance of survival programming and choosing to create your own playbook instead. Perhaps a love-story or adventure rather than a horror story or drama.
I have spent the last year intentionally moving from an externally-led paradigm to an internally-guided life. It is incredibly liberating and freeing, and it has taken a great deal of courage to quiet the external noise and trust what I am becoming is true for ME.
Living Sovereign & Honing Intuition
For me, the choice to live a sovereign life means getting to be more of who I truly am without the distortion field of fear (the perception of separation: lack, competition, scarcity, and seeking external validation).
It means embracing presence, wonderment, awe, bliss, my interests, passions, strengths, truths, gifts, talents, and skills—and bringing it all together into simply being me, and within my own timeline (not an external timebound pressure). True sovereignty is connection to the field (light/love); allowing life to flow through us. Ultimately, what we become on the inside will be reflected in our external experience of life…
Do you feel abundant? What distortions need to be addressed about your “story”? Is your identity limiting you?
Abundance is an inside job!
That is the role I am playing now, and I am 100% committed to it.
I am receiving guidance as I go, allowing the next steps to reveal themselves.
This devotion in my life has lead me to the intentional development of my intuitive abilities—my internal guidance system and the inner technology that exists within all of us.
It is not something we are generally taught how to access or trust within our reality-making programming, yet I am discovering just how powerful it can be.
Over the past months, I have been absolutely delighted to find that I can trust myself more deeply—my ability to know, to see, to hear, to feel truth within my body and being, and to recognise truth (for my highest good) when it presents itself. I have certainly been tested on this journey!
One of the gifts I have become increasingly aware of is my ability to see. Throughout my life, I have often had visual insights, impressions, and imagery arrive naturally, both in my dreams and in waking life, and I am now intentionally learning how to refine and trust this ability more fully.
I recently joined an Intuition Club, where I am developing these skills in a grounded and practical way with others who are devoted to doing the same. It’s affirming to discover how much wisdom is available when we learn to listen deeply and trust ourselves. As a counsellor, we learn to say: “I wonder if…”, to soften the approach before offering a challenge to a client. In psychic training we do the exact same thing before offering an intuitive insight. It’s been so much fun!
I have found it fascinating to link my neuro-linguistic programming training with my current intuition training and see the correlation between the two. As we know, there are many labels for the same thing, but essentially what I discovered is that our core means of processing information—in other words, our representational systems—whether visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, or digital correspond with the various psychic abilities. I’ve enjoyed discovering more about our internal intuition technology, especially considering I am a visual artist and find my strongest intuitive ability is clairvoyance. I believe we will find ways to measure this with scientific instruments soon enough. Take a look at the chart I put together below…
My intention is not simply to strengthen these abilities for myself, but to become a more attuned guide for others as they navigate their own lives, challenges, opportunities, and inner knowing. I know this is where my next role is leading me.
I am excited to continue exploring this path and to see what becomes possible when we learn to trust the intelligence and inner technology that already exists within all of us.
My Next Role
My soul is guiding me on a journey to create equality whilst being deep in the heart of play. For me, equality is that beautiful balance between the feminine and masculine within each of us.
It is the ability to rest and receive, feel and express, while also taking inspired action to create, contribute, and bring our gifts into the world. It’s about attunement to what is aligned in each moment.
It is harmony within ourselves.
I am currently spending precious time in contemplation and surrender as the role I am stepping into marinates in the light of consciousness. I see a more intentional role forming where I assist others to attune to their own inner guidance system and find their unique path forwards in joy and play. I see this being interwoven with my developing song circle and conscious community building.
Creating Through Song
One thing I have deeply enjoyed over the last few months is creating a Song Circle for conscious women to come together and express themselves.
A couple of weeks ago, I facilitated my first Song Circle practice with some magical women, and it was absolute joy to witness how delightfully easy and beautiful our voices could be together.
I feel more confident in the song leading facilitation skills I have been developing, and I am excited to receive further inspiration as this offering unfolds.
I feel drawn towards creating more experiences in nature—attuning to the sounds of the natural world while bringing our own voices together to create beauty. I sense this may have something to do with birds moving forward, which is funny because my parents used to find me in my crib, singing with the birds when I was a baby.
My vision is for us to open our hearts, express our voices, and experience joyful connection, both with each other and the earth. When we attune to the natural world, we can hear the ancient rhythms call our name. I feel this beautiful harmonious resonance in the background of life now constantly. I wish to share this knowledge and remembering with others.
If you’re in the SE QLD area and would like to be a part of my song circle please reach out. 🎶
The Conscious Counsellors Circle
I recently held a Conscious Counsellors Circle.
My intention was to bring together some hand-picked high-vibrational leaders within the counselling space—people in my network who inspire and delight me, and in whom I see that sparkle of energy.
These are people who are owning their lives, recognising themselves as creators, and allowing their unique gifts and paths to unfold. No more rescuing others, excusing themselves as victims, or distancing themselves out of fear. These wonderful souls are not living in drama cycles and instead, are leading by example.
I am passionate about helping bring those gifts forward, supporting people to keep their focus on their own journey, and encouraging deeper belief, confidence, trust, and surrender into the process of becoming truly sovereign.
It was wonderful to bring these people together, inspire one another, and strengthen a sense of community—something that is very close to my heart.
A Final Reflection
Did you get to the end of my big update? My wish for you is that you give yourself more love and grace, surrender back to life being a mystery unfolding, trust your soul has a greater path for you, listen to your intuition, and focus on what brings you joy. Things often work out when you follow your bliss.
I also wish for you:
More clarity.
More confidence.
More belief in yourself and your intuition.
More trust.
More ability to let go, surrender, and receive (to give yourself grace and gentleness).
May you recognise and remember who you truly are.
May you open your heart to the light within you.
May you remember the power you have to be a creator in this life.
And most importantly, may you enjoy your creation.
With love,
Malise
