• Put on some mood music to get you in a happy space.  Arm yourself with a glass of champagne or wine to get you in the mood and relax you! Then stand in your full, glorious nakedness in front of a full length mirror, really looking at yourself positively and fully accepting your body.
• Describe out loud what you see from head to toe, using non-judgemental words such as ‘my face is heart shaped, my skin is brown, my eyes are blue’ etc.  This helps you understand the difference between your appearance (what you actually look like) and your body image (what you think you look like) which usually are quite opposite.

• Experiment with different poses of your body both standing and sitting, from all angles – even crazy ones, to see which you like best.  Have fun doing it!
• Come up with some positive affirmations – this is very important ongoing and reinforcing work.  PLEASE, contact me if you would like help with this – Shakti Gawain is the Queen of Affirmations.
• It’s important to continue building your body image confidence to aid and empower your ongoing self healing.  Here are some more tips:

• Use the images from the GoddessGuide oracle cards as inspiration, these are all REAL women!
• Begin a body diary.  Write down all the great and positive bits about your body that you love and focus on these only until you can start to see all parts of your body in the same way.
• Support them with positive affirmations and repeat frequently throughout the day i.e. when you first wake up in the morning, before going to sleep at night, getting into the shower, driving around in your car etc.  Remember, no one can make you feel better about yourself than you.  Make you your best friend.  You might as well, as you will be together all your life!
• Be confident, even if at first you don’t feel it, others find it attractive and sexy.
• And most importantly, be grateful for your body, its health and how well it has served you thus far and is still serving you.

On our stand we sold the GoddessGuide healing card decks, posters and greeting cards.  We also gave mini card readings so people could see just how accurate the messages were.  These  were a huge success and we’ll be repeating them at the next MBS expo.  Here are some pictures from that weekend.

If you have any questions or want an obligation free chat, call me now on 0459 343 828.

Read here about the GoddessGuide concept.

Together we create a sacred, safe and intimate circle where you can be yourself and voice anything that is holding you back, that you want support with.  Nothing revealed leaves our circle.  Each of you has the opportunity to be heard and work on real issues.  The workshops are designed to show you, using the healing GoddessGuide cards as a tool, how to hear your inner voice and more importantly, learn to act on it.

As a GoddessGuide Host there are exciting rewards and incentives.  Read more about how YOU can host one of these powerful, fun and inspirational workshops in your area. I am currently travelling the east coast of Australia around Sydney and Brisbane, with many workshops scheduled on the Sunshine Coast.

I’d love to hear from you now on 0459 343 828 to discuss your interest.

GoddessGuide Intuition Workshops

Often the cards we choose bear messages we don’t want to hear or know about, perhaps about an issuewe’ve been avoiding facing or dealing with.  You have to trust in whatever intellectual force surroundsus, that they (or could it be your Higher Self?) know better than you, your conscious and ego self, andwhat is pertinent for you now.  You know the old saying, the Universe moves in strange ways.  Have faith in what you’re given at any time, it’ll always be for your growth and higher good.  Glen

A:  Hi Joan!  Yes isn’t it amazing when you see first hand the transformations that take place with the support of a Life Coach? I’m delighted your friend is blossoming from his experience.  As I mentioned last month, coaching is holistic and addresses all areas of your life – relationships/family, love/romance, job/ career changes, work/home balance, spirituality, contribution, health/fitness, social life/fun, money and wealth, e.g. you may come to me about help in getting a job promotion.  Along the way, and as part of the coaching process, we go through your goals, then we might identify that what you really want is to start your own business.  So we address that and anything else which comes up.  All you need is the commitment to change, together we do the rest.    Once you’ve decided to go ahead, you work out how many sessions you need.  They come in blocks of 4 or 6 one hour sessions, plus one extra free.  The frequency is up to you – weekly, fortnightly – bearing in mind there will be fun tasks we set together to be completed in between.  Sessions can be face to face or over the phone which is actually how most coaching is done – I currently have a client in Brussels and we communicate over skype.

FEATURED CARD – Fire Goddess

This is a gutsy goddess.  She is full of confidence and very sure of her Self, her image and her way.  She knows that she has been created in perfection exactly as she is, by the Divine Source and she is, just as she is meant to be.

Her approach is one of surety and absolute certainty and she wants you to know that with complete trust you will be guided and provided for in all ways.

Fear of any type will only cause you to  falter and loose your direction.  Unshakable faith and belief will always lead you to abundance and love.

The Flame Goddess coming to you now is to say ‘fear not, glow slowly and steadily onwards toward your dream.  It is yours to have’.



A:  It’s appropriate that you ask that as in a very recent survey on Life Coaching it showed that low confidence and self esteem is one of the main issues that bring people to a coach.  There are numerous others – relationships, health/fitness, career change, better work/life balance, personal growth and many more.  Life Coaching is a very practical and results based way of tackling a problem.  You would certainly benefit from coaching if you are both committed and ready to make the necessary changes.  As your partner in this journey, a Life Coach will be there to listen, support, encourage, challenge and  guide you to make it happen.  Life Coaching is holistic so we address all aspects of your life, not just one.  Coaching is not counselling or therapy.  We explore your present, design and create your future, then make it happen!  That’s quite different.  We identify your goals and dreams, then take you there.  What you will notice, often after just one or two sessions, is a feeling of being much more positive and in control of your life.  You will break through your own limitations and be on your way to clarity and achieving your full potential.  There is a great saying “if you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always got!”

Q:  A friend has taken on a Life Coach and although he’s only had a couple of sessions I can see such incredibly positive changes in him.  Can you tell me what you coach and how it actually works?  Joan C. (August 2008)

Q:  I am so happy that I decided to work with you, I can see how positive and supportive Life Coaching is.  It was great to have the first session free, it gave me a glimpse of the amazing tools you have such as the Wheel of Life (below).  I was surprised at the things I didn’t know about myself and what was revealed.  I realise how through coaching you peel away the layers and get down to the real issues which aren’t at all what I thought they’d be.  I feel I can now start to work on myself without having to ‘go it alone’, in which case I’m not sure I would do it.  Knowing my main issue is lack of self esteem which prevents me moving forward socially and workwise, I can at last tackle it.  Apart from what we do during coaching sessions, how can I help myself in-between?  Joan C. (September 2008)

A:  Glad you liked the Wheel of Life Joan, it’s so enlightening showing clearly where you are at any given moment in all areas of your life.  Best way to help yourself is committing to carry out the tasks we set together after each session.  And they’ll be fun, challenging and designed to take you forwards.  You only do what you feel comfortable with – such as the dinner party you’re planning because you believe you can’t cook despite everyone saying the opposite!  I can’t wait to hear what a roaring success it was.  Remember that you have unlimited email support between sessions so you can always get in touch if you need to.  Glen
