Understanding that we create our own reality can be incredibly empowering, but it can also become a stick to beat yourself with.

We can blame ourselves for our chronic illness, our unfulfilling job or our problematic relationships. And if we're not careful our inner critic, which often seems to be a combination of a critical parent and a sadistic PE teacher, can start giving us marks out of ten for how we're doing. We can tell ourselves we're doing self-development to expand our self-awareness when unconsciously we hope it will finally 'heal us' and banish this feeling that we're not good enough.

If you recognise this behaviour please put away the stick and choose to spend your free time doing things that are fun, creative and pleasurable - they will bring you self-awareness born from - and motivated by - love and abundance rather than fear and lack.

The karmic flower essence featured in this issue will also help this pattern as it's marvellous for those of us who feel over-responsible, both for ourselves and others. There's a third eye breathing practice to lower stress and a rebalancing event using song and drumming that encourages you to create from a place of serenity.

If you're interested in feeding your feminine side there's a fascinating channeling around the connection between Mary Magdalene and water as well as a free event to tune you into the path of the feminine priestesses over many cultures and civilisations.

There's also a free event to help you connect with your ancestors during dreamtime and a grounding mat offer that promises to ensure deep, restful sleep.

Lastly - and in this issue only - I'm offering you a free coaching session as part of a starter package. My latest video below explains how I coach, what it includes and why karma coaching offers such a unique blend of powerful tools.

Wishing you friendship

Are you aware of wanting to 'fix' things and take care of people? When there's a problem do people assume you'll jump in and rescue the situation because that's the role you always take? Do you tend to be a spokeperson for a cause - the one who 'gets things done'? Do you worry about others or the future of the planet? Do you often ponder how you can sort out problems? Do you notice others people's unsuccessful efforts and try to suggest solutions? Do you feel weighed down by responsibility? Do your shoulders and neck often feel sore and stiff? Are you often in power struggles with others?

If you lock horns with authority or frequently wish other people would change - even though you know that in practice you can only change yourself - then Wild iris is a great essence to choose It's a karmic essence because it reaches back over lifetimes in which you may have had positions of authority and been accustomed to wielding power and shouldering responsibility.

This pattern can also arise if you were 'parentified' as a child and had to take on responsibility too young for the welfare or emotional reassurance of a sibling or a parent. it can leave a lasting habit of needing to be in control. Anything less can leave you feeling weak, vulnerable. or a failure. It can be hard to receive help or support because you're so used to being the person who gives that to others. You prefer to be taking action rather than accepting other people's expertise. it's difficult for you to watch others making mistakes without stepping in.

Such personality patterns can take a tremendous toll on your emotional and physical health. You may find it very hard to switch off as you mull over how to help - proper rest and deep sleep can be elusive. You may often feel worried, overwhelmed, judgemental or frustrated.

Wild Iris helps you see where responsibility is appropriate and where to draw the line - wishing the person well but knowing that their mistakes are important for their learning, so they can resolve their own karma. You can enjoy an undisturbed night's sleep knowing that the world will continue to turn without your help. You can let go of the steering wheel, get a shoulder massage and remind yourself not to stick up your hand next time volunteers are needed. It doesn't always have to be you - and chaos is sometimes necessary for new creative solutions to emerge. As you take Wild Iris you'll feel lighter, more relaxed and clearer about what's yours and what's up to others to sort out.

Joy is more than a fleeting emotion - it’s a transformative frequency that can dissolve stress and awaken a deeper sense of alignment once you know how to attune to it.

This online event with energy healing expert Tyler Odysseus explores how shifting your vibration toward joy activates a powerful current that soothes the nervous system and opens pathways for lasting change.

In Tyler’s “Third Eye Brain Breathing” practice you can enter a joyful state of presence that shifts your brain chemistry, releases calming neurotransmitters, reduces stress, and restores a sense of clarity, peace, and inner openness.

Throughout this insightful event, you’ll also:

• Explore how shifting into a blissful, energetic state serves as the foundation for accelerated healing and lasting transformation
• Experience the “Energy Pendulum” technique to immediately experience a tangible shift in emotional or physical wellbeing
• Discover how simply holding a compassionate, joyful presence can profoundly shift your emotional and physical health - and that of others
• Learn the role of authentic “precision feeling” - and how to harness it to feel better immediately

Tyler has spent years developing a powerful toolkit of quick, practical energy medicine techniques - many that take just 5-10 minutes - to transform anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm into lasting states of joy, presence, and deep peace that grow stronger each day. 

In a world that often prioritises productivity over presence, returning to joy is a radical act of restoration - one that can lift the weight of chronic stress and illuminate your true potential. If this calls to you, I hope you’ll join us on Saturday, July 26.

'Tyler Odysseus increased my skills more than any prior teacher in my lifetime of doing energy work! He answered questions from his own experience, whereas most teachers do so from their reading. Tyler actively engages our whole being, initiating changes that exist outside of time and place. He helped me through a difficult surgery and recovery as well. He insists on sharing everything he possibly can so that each of us learns and improves our own abilities.' Sandra Solon

Do you ever feel that your ancestors may have deep wisdom that they want to share with you?”

African shaman John Lockley says you carry a well of psychic memory, an ancestral intelligence that holds the dreams, struggles, and spiritual gifts of those who came before you — not just from the past two or three generations, but some of your most ancient ancestors. 

Join John on Tuesday, July 22 (or July 23 UK time), for a fascinating one-hour event and learn how ancestral dreamwork can help you develop humility as you honour your ancestors - not for their personalities, but for their essences. 

During the event, John will guide you in a journey to the world of ancestors. He’ll use his sangoma drum, a powerful chant called masiyembo, and a meditation to aid connection between you and your ancestors — not to ask them for anything, but to send them love and to help you receive messages coming through for you.



This process lays the groundwork for grace to enter your life through your dreams and ancestral remembrance — as you awaken soul-level guidance, deepen your sense of belonging, and activate the gifts that live within your bloodline.

'I'm writing to express my admiration and gratitude for John Lockley, who's made a significant impact on my life and the lives of many others through his book Leopard Warrior and his profound teachings. His story is incredible. His ability to convey profound spiritual concepts with such clarity and humility left a lasting impression on me. I was particularly moved by his genuine passion for sharing the teachings of his ancestral lineage.' Nancy Rebecca Shamanic teacher and healer, and founder of Intuitive Mind Programs

Could your deepest wounds be sacred gateways - leading you not away from yourself, but directly into your light?



And could a deeper relationship with Mary Magdalene be part of how you walk through that gateway?

Join ordained priestess and psychotherapist Elayne Kalila Doughty on Tuesday, July 22 (or July 23 UK time), for a free online event where you’ll be gently initiated into the Way of the Pearl, a journey for transforming long-buried emotional pain and awakening your soul’s gifts. 

The Pearl represents the journey from fragmentation to wholeness, formed through pressure, grief, and sacred remembrance - carried by a sacred sisterhood of women known as the Watchtower Women, a lineage that includes Egyptian Priestesses, Seers and Flamekeepers across time, who have walked this path before.

The Way of the Pearl was always meant for our time. As a mirror, it illuminates the soul’s exile - and serves as a map for its return. 

To begin your initiation onto this path, Elayne Kaila will take you through a guided visualisation known as “The Watchtower Activation.” In this space, you’ll have a chance to receive the frequency of this sacred sisterhood and receive insights into what you’re yearning to remember - discovering the pearl you’re holding within, ready to emerge. 

During this activation, you’ll discover that the Watchtower Woman does not stand above but within. Her energy offers a force for change - and becomes a lighthouse for others.

'There are those rare individuals who truly walk their talk... Elayne Kalila not only does this with embodied grace, but equally with vigilant, tender consideration of the hearts of all who come within her community. Being a part of an impeccable and profound container - especially now during these turbulent times - shall serve any who are called to walk the priestess path with the practical, grounded, and masterful guidance of one of the rare living priestesses of our time.'
