David and Goliath

David and Goliath!

Have you ever wanted to succeed in something however things keep getting in the way? My passion since becoming a kinesiologist has been to make the modality of kinesiology a widely used therapy for our Senior citizen population. One day it will be a standard form of care, and I look forward to that day with hope and enthusiasm. What is side tracking me is the situation of financial independence.

Our family has been swept along in an event of mammoth calamity along with nearly 3000 other Australians in the collapse of a large financial company. The life savings and in many cases the family homes of the survivors have gone. It wasn’t declared a national disaster or even spoken about with alot of sympathy by many others, but it has torn the hearts and souls out of the people involved. It has become a case of David and Goliath, where the everyday mums and dads are David and the banking systems are Goliath. What the Goliaths did not expect was the support, friendship and downright tenacity of the ordinary folk.

Unfairness of any kind is not tolerated well by the Australian public and this group of people have been treated most unfairly. So like any minority they have formed a common group and from the ground up have sought support and help from many avenues. We have had to face the public censor of being called greedy, been shown in the media as victims, written Parliamentary Inquiry submissions that bear our angst to the world and to live with the knowledge that possibly it is all to no avail. Many lives have been permanently shattered with some having no hope for getting back their life savings, all has gone. This has come at a high price for many as, like most everyday people, being in the limelight is not always comfortable or welcome.

However this will be a long battle with no guaranteed outcome, so it is dependent on all the families to survive however they can. On one of my many sleepless nights I felt impelled to write a poem, not any poem but an inspirational and energetic poem. This poem would be my and many others salvation, I didn’t know how it would work I just knew it would. I wrote my poem then called “For what am I bid for this fantastic precious piece of string?” and have since then have been putting together my knowledge to release it to the universe. I have gone to internet courses, inspirational weekends, written blogs, joined and embraced Face Book, conquered technology (sort of), and am gradually getting ready.

So my energy and focus have been split between my two hearts missions and they have been entwined together as they both require each other to succeed. The change I will make in the world is that I will make a difference to peoples’ lives, for the better, I will succeed. If I can pass subjects like Chemistry, Bio Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, Muscle Skeletal, the majority with 7’s and overcome my fear of the weird stuff like Chakras, Auras and Meridians and the like, all the time having hot flushes and fried brain function from menopause. As well as still be a Wife, Mum and daughter, start up a successful small business, well as Helen Reddy says “I can do anything, I am women”

I want to create peace in my life. To have the financial abundance that enables me the opportunity for people to choose to change their lives.....for the better.

What next for Green String!

What Next for Green String

The processes involved in any plan can often be momentarily sidetracked. At present in my home town and state there is a natural disaster unfolding and for now my blogs will reflect this. However it does not mean that I have given up , it just means there are actually some other things on my priority list for now. The same happened whilst I was enhancing my Internet Marketing skills to enable me to help others with my inspirational poem. Life has a way of giving us more to do and also to allow us to take a break from the emotional trauma and be practical. This allows our adrenal response to settle down and get ready for the next wave. A group that was formed for preserving sanity and as a life line for the Storm Financial Survivors was called Storm Investors Community Action Group or affectionately known as SICAG. I will talk more about them and how they have helped a group of people stay alive and connected in a further chapter.

For now however please enjoy this next article written by Performance Forums PF which is very relevant to the people of Queensland in January of 2011.


Tips to clean up after a flood

A Friends practical advice! for Qld Flood Assistance.

I want to help with the QLD floods but don't know how

by Annie Evett on Wednesday, January 12, 2011 at 11:38am

There are a few ways people can help right now ...

• you can donate to the flood relief appeal -http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html
• if you live in or around Brisbane and can help with accommodation register here - http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-can-give-shelter-to-the-flood-victims-in-QLD/179213392111896
• You can donate to specific towns that have been affected as most have set up their own appeal
• You can if your local register with Disaster Managment Council - group formed made up emergency services and local govt reps with EMQ on all decision making they also are the ones who have a register so you can list as a volunteer, accommodation assistance with pets, caterer for evac halls etc - registering is important
• If you are any type of entertainer, can face paint, or look after kids with games and activities turn up to one of the evacuation spots and start a show. There are alot of scared people who need their spirits lifted.
• You could assist with those who have been evacuated as they could not take pets to the evac centres
• You could adopt a town - search for alistings of towns - this changes day by day
• Gather any of your unwanted or excess stationary, books or IT gear and get it ready for donation to school in affected areas.
• your community group or group of friends could adopt the town and support the local newsagency and assist with replacing items - same as trade services etc - each town needs money put back in - not in 5 weeks but immediately so the best way to help them get on their feet is find out what the town most needs and support them from there.
• Organise a clothing, blankets and basic necessity collection and take it to an evacuation spot - or get it to Red Cross or one of the other charities.
• Keep an eye out for charitable fundraisers such as the 100 stories for Queensland ( contact Jodi Cleghorn regarding this) which will directly assist those in need.

IT is important you understand that working with Disaster Management Council will allow needs to be met so get in touch through Brisbane city council or Toowoomba or the council for the town you wish to adopt!

Good luck and together we can unite and help rebuild!!!

Trust your Intuition!

Trust your Intuition!

With so much happening here in my home town of Brisbane, I have found it not so easy to do my blogging so will share with an article that I wrote some time ago. It is still regarding my poem, My Green String. I had written it to explain in my words how I feel the universal Laws of Attraction works.

“Intuition”

Have you ever been told to trust your intuition? What exactly is meant by that? For that matter what does the word intuition mean?

Wikipedia states:-

• Intuition (philosophy), the act by which the mind perceives the agreement or disagreement of two ideas
• Intuition (knowledge), understanding without apparent effort

Oxford dictionary states:-

(Noun)

• the ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning:we shall allow our intuition to guide us
• [count noun] a thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning:your insights and intuitions as a native speaker are positively sought

Hi and welcome to my place. I am a professional kinesiologist and own a boutique clinic called Kinique, which is kinesiology uniquely for you! Recently I was guided to write an inspirational poem, Green String, and I would like to share with you some of my journey along the way.

I have used the expression “trust your intuition” and if you are like the old me that may not appear quite so easy. When first starting my career as a Kinesiologist, (one of the natural therapy modalities) I was in denial about the whole metaphysical aspect of life. You would not have found me within cooee of such things as auras, chakras, meridians and as for intuitive belief or psychic guidance I cringed at the thought of it. I did however have the family belief that you should have a trust in what you perceived as the truth. A family motto passed down to me by my maternal grandfather was the saying “to thy own self be true” and it was this saying that assisted me greatly during my studies into the metaphysical aspects of life. If I thought it was getting too weird, I reminded myself of the above thought and I gradually became aware that these sometimes strange words and ideas were in fact tools to identify aspects of life. As I gained knowledge and learned to trust that knowledge a whole new world opened up for me.

I also realized that I had often prayed for assistance and had regularly asked for help from long deceased relations, so just why I was so against the idea of Divine Guidance I am not so sure. It was gradually borne on me that trusting your intuition or guidance was no stranger than praying and asking for strength from others. We are all guided; some by self trust others by family or religious beliefs and many by the utter belief in another’s word. For me it came down to three basic rules that I set so that I could acknowledge and relay information that came my way and these are:-

*To believe in your self

*To be honest about why you need to know

*To be able to share without harming others with words

We are each unique as such we will all have our own way and method of acquiring and sharing knowledge. That’s one of the great aspects of being human, our uniqueness and individuality. Just imagine how dull it would be if we all had the same views and ideas. Another aspect of the unique you is your inner vibration. This vibration is at the very heart of everybody, it is how we communicate without words, how we share our thoughts and emotions with others. It can also be referred to as our life energy or Chi and it is our unique ability to live our lives to our highest ability.

Learn to find your unique vibration and with it the gift of being able to tune into and connect with others, learn to trust your guidance and to be confident in your messages. Tap into the Universal knowledge bank and above all trust the process.

Ask yourself the following questions

*Is the information beneficial to me?

*Is this information beneficial to me on all levels?

*Is this information in my highest good?

Listen and speak with your heart. Start to take notice of seemingly unrelated or sudden thoughts you have. Write them down on post it notes or in a small book. After writing them down, walk away from them and return to whatever you were doing, safe in the knowledge that you have captured your thoughts/guidance. Later when you re-read your notes, allow the energy/vibration of the messages to return and you will easily pick up the thread. The notes will begin to make sense and you will find the answers to many puzzling questions or situations.

How often when a particular event takes place do you find yourself saying “I should have listened to my inner voice” or “I knew that was going to happen”? These are examples of snatches of thoughts or ideas that are given to us daily and most often we forget them or take no notice of them. They form the basis of the vibration of our dreams and wishes, the answers to many of our puzzles in life.

Enjoy your journey, cheers

Day two Internet Marketing Overload.

Day two Internet Marketing Overload!

What an amazing day that had been! I listened in awe and some disbelief at what was being shown and told about having a successful business on the internet. I was certainly being encouraged to think outside of my personal "square" and to embrace the idea of this whole new world that was opening up at my feet. Both presenters had very different styles, however they were both very inspiring and I might add very uplifting.

By the end of that day I had bought a book for 4 paperclips, exchanged a @20 note for $40 and had my brain exploded and buzzing at the same time. If that wasn't enough a challenge was issued.......

Whoever sold the most copies of a book called.....Yota, which by the way had the most amazing Dragon and gold coins on the front cover!, would win $1000. That was certainly a great motivator, and on the journey home I had not only decided that I would win it, I had worked out what to spend it on as well. Lucky for me when I got home I could get straight into selling my copies of the book. This book was written by Sean Rasmussen, Aussie Internet Marketer, one of the inspiring seminar presenters.

The children were all out and my husband had been called into work.....peace and quiet for me:) Money for jam was the thought that popped into my head. However remember that energy called the Universe, well she had decided I was getting ahead of myself and the first glitch of the night was.......NO Internet! Surely not, I didn't even have any kids on hand to fix it....ugghh! I had so many plans, and lots of homework and I needed the internet to do them.

You also have to remember my code word...'Mum Not Geeky', boy was I in trouble. Then I had a brainwave, we had recently bought a little black stick thingy that was supposed to get you onto the internet. A wireless internet connection, was I game to plug it in and get it to go. My son had frequently given me some very strict instructions that if I was unsure about what I was about to do to the computer...do not do it! But surely I couldn't do too much harm, by just having a go? Fingers crossed and lots of good luck, I actually managed to get the thing to work and to get connected to the internet.

I mentioned homework, well that part involved writing a blog...not really sure what a blog was, I had to sign up to a rather dubious thing called facebook! and I had to sell as many copies of a book that I could. I had figured that 10 copies would be plenty. At this stage it was close to midnight and I had hardly started, in fact I was getting increasingly convinced that I had no idea of what I was about to do and how! I read over my notes and found that I was supposed to sell them via an affiliate link......a what? and again to whom?....and how? Rereading my copious notes again, it was starting to make sense sort of! I was to write a blog and attach an affiliate link and sell the books that way.

At the seminar it had sounded so very easy. Finally I managed to write a very blobby blog, and can I please ask if anyone finds any of my initial blogs in cyberspace could they either return them or burn them. I lost count of the number of times I pressed a button ( and I still not sure which button that was) and all my hard work would disappear...never to be seen again. So I would restart and it would happen again, and again...UGGRRHH! I might add by this time it was 3am and I had not sold a single book. I had however joined Facebook, and I was scared stiff at what I had done.

I am sure you can also be aware at how emotional I was at this stage, how the heck if it was so damm easy why was I finding it sooo hard. I was not only fighting blogs! I was also fighting tears of rage, disappointment and self doubt. If I couldn't even find someone to buy a book from me how on earth was I going to sell them a poem?

Enough of this, I conceded defeat and went to bed. I am sure that I had just gotten to bed when the alarm said it was time to get up. There was however a bit of hope for me, if I could get to see my son before I went to the seminar, I could get him to show me how to buy the books, I would buy 10 copies and sell them from my clinic. I would convince him to help with a good old fashioned bribe.....I would share the $1000 with him.

Armed with this plan........

Internet Marketing Overload

Internet Marketing Overload!

Have you ever decided to do something and five million things stop you? That sort of thing happens to me all the time, and a question I have often asked of people in general is "How long do you keep on having a go before you say enough is enough?"

Well having received my two free tickets to this big Internet Marketing Course in Brisbane, absolutely nothing got in my way! The tickets turned up, transport was arranged, the family commitments slotted in fine, I had no clients booked in....you get the idea! How exciting and thrilling, I was sure that I would find out exactly what I require to launch my Poem into cyberspace and the rest would just happen:) My Dad had always told me to keep my eyes and ears open, and to never slam a door shut with regard to business and knowledge. A family motto handed down by my Mum's father was "to thy own self be true", so I figured I would use both of their advice and listen, learn and act.

Since becoming a natural therapist and owning a Kinesiology Clinic, I have learned that we are constantly given hints, sometimes nudges, via the Universe and it is very useful to be aware of this process. I must admit prior to starting my Kinesiology journey I had not given that aspect to life much of a thought. My favourite male singer is John Farnham and at a previous workshop had been asked to bring in a the song that meant the most to me on a personal goal level. I had chosen "Your the Voice" by John Farnham, so you can imagine my total amazement to hear this song being belted out at the Internet Marketing workshop.

I was so in the right place!

There were literally hundreds of people milling around waiting to get their names ticked off and being given a notebook, pen and name tag. Everyone looked very excited and ready for fun. I managed to get a seat near the front and wasn't quite sure what to expect. Well this youngish man bounced onto the stage and started talking about the opportunity of using the internet to make wealth and how it was a great modern vehicle to reach out to people worldwide...PERFECT! Just what I wanted to know:)

He then got the audience to participate by giving us all a coloured paperclip.......I know! Remember that was what started it all a red paperclip!....What we had to to do was to share or exchange with others something for the paperclip, and whoever had the most paperclips or got a item of value was kind of the winner. The only catch was we were not allowed to approach the person on stage. Fair enough I figured, that was OK. In my mind I was not going to give someone else my paperclip, I was going to get the most back. Not sure of what I could swap, I decided to use my business cards as a bait....guess what I ended up with 5 different coloured paperclips...pretty good I figured. As it turned out not good enough to win that prize at that stage, and some people even managed to swap blocks of time from the person on stage...Yes I know we were told not to do that, but apparently, you were meant to anyhow. So next time I will know.

I was still pretty pleased to have swapped 4 others with my business card, and being a natural therapist my mind instantly recognized that I nearly had all the chakra colours. A few minutes later the speaker picked up a book and casually tapped it against his other hand, quick as blink I raised my hand and asked if I could swap my paperclips for the book. I know very cheeky of me, and I figured he could only say no, and of course I was very safe as there was not another person at the venue who knew me, so I didn't even have to feel self conscious. Guess what.......he said yes! Now I was the proud and I must say rather chuffed owner of a book called "Secrets of Internet Entrepreneurs Exposed"...how perfect was that, I was having so much fun:)

By lunchtime my mind was reeling with information, words that I had never heard of being constantly used, and my note book was being filled with all this stuff! OMG! Underlining the entire day was the attitude of ....take action! Be responsible for your own destiny! Boy did I require food and coffee!

By the end of the afternoon session I was on yet another mission.........My mind was going ten to the dozen, little cogs going in all directions, my thoughts jumping from here to there back to here!

That was just day one..wait until tomorrow..........!
