Based in the Gold Coast since December 2020, having transitioned during a time when many of us may have been challenged, I experienced COVID/ having to vaccinate or not work/having to vacate my rental in Sydney, changing borders, natural disasters, managing my nervous system health, taking care of others, becoming my mother’s carer.
I juggled practicing with continuing core practices on-line, or in-person.
Then it became clear: the world has changed. The way we see our lives and manage our body systems has become more prevalent. More practitioners and many more people have embraced the knowledge I’ve set about sharing for many years. It was time for me to move into my elder years, wisely accepting the invitation from our Divine to evolve yet again.
During 2021/22, I felt - and saw that with all these planetary & energetic changes there’s a a greater need to reach many of those people who cannot source help; many more who struggle with the mental body, trying so hard to utilise digital formats for news, social formats for comfort and often government programs for mental health support when they are at their lowest and unable to live efficiently enough. '
It saddens me to have seen so many people fall below the poverty line; some of whom I work for now, are reliant upon NDIS support after collapsing from the struggle of maintaining their daily lives within a framework of what is known as ‘survival mode’.
This is becoming the norm.
In maintaining my personal, long term vision of helping others to move from this ‘survival mode’ and into ‘thriving mode’, I have yet again understood that I am called to become aware of how uncomfortable life is for many of us today. And it is during this discomfort that I have met with the Divine and asked for guidance. I was working with some incredibly challenged clients; going along with them to their psychology appointments, oncology appointments, holding their hands and taking them through grounding practices.
However, this was not enough anymore.
This year, with awareness and acceptance, I stepped back into study. It was never my intention, however I am always open to learning. Also this is an opportunity for me to offer a branch to those communities who are stuck within governmental programs; many who are now embracing these ‘alternative’ breathwork and tantric practices within their sessions.
It is my intention that, with a Degree in Psychological Sciences, I will be able to focus on deepening and expanding my research into the fundamental values of human evolution: the definition of existing body+mind variables in the context of eco friendly mental health services, social justice & equality.
With my first year of study coming to an end, I am grateful to be maintaining a nice balance with work. I am also finding my feet again, in a world that pretty much sent me spiraling; dizzy, tired, disillusioned, and exhausted by all the toxic political agendas getting airtime.
I am always reminded that it is my purpose to feel into, and explore the philosophical aspects of life; to look at the big picture and accept my place in it. Where can I do better? What can I change? What kind of world do I wish to be a part of?
By always seeking guidance, I find meaning in the many positive experiences of working with people - especially those who have indeed continued to shape my perspective and offer support as we remain vigilant and mindful of building a strong community, I thank you for being courageous and look forward to a brighter future for all of us.
In closing, I ask that you sit somewhere quietly, out in nature and ask yourself; “How am I managing my life and relationships post COVID? What has changed for me? Am I happy or in need of guidance? How can I trust that everything will be ok?”
Firstly, always trust in our Divine. Trust that there is always guidance from the Universe, and you too will raise your vibration to enhance positivity and embrace change. We are all in this together.
Love Taryn
