I went on a healing journey which lasted more than 10 years, and along the way I heard the most beautiful philosophies, which each inspired the continuation of self-healing work, despite countless obstacles I met along the way. The first was how to reveal the shining diamond within you.

It came right in the beginning, around 2015, when I visited a Homeopath for the first time. This Homeopath also introduced me to the concept of synchronicity, which I will cover in a separate post. 

I explained to her my background – my bipolar diagnosis, PTSD, ADD, and around my health issues (at this point I was so unwell I was struggling to function in the world). I also shared how I felt I had so much potential, but there was something ‘in the way’. 

She responded; 

Your are magic. But you are drowning in ‘black muck’. 

Imagine you have a glass, and this glass is full of black ‘muck’ (think dirty water, mud, soot, etc – to be honest I can’t recall the exact phrase she used at the time). Hidden within this ‘muck’, is a diamond, or, that magic part of ourselves that we know is there, but can’t seem to contact. 

The diamond within you represents our authentic self – our soul/essence if you will – our talents, gifts, and unconditional positive regard for the universe. She’s the one who entered the world untainted. 

All the muck that engulfs the diamond is our beliefs, hurts, pains, conditionings, and unhelpful habits and behaviours. Pretty much everything that has been lumped on us as we live in the material world is in this muck. 

As you work through each of these layers, the black muck becomes less dense, and with each stage of clearing, whether it be emotional, mental, physical or spiritual, you start to reveal the diamond (your authentic self) underneath. 

Think further to the conditioning we receive from the media, the junk food that is pushed on us. The fact that we are sedentary, we don’t sleep properly and are highly stressed. All these lifestyle issues add to the muck. Until we start unravelling, and making good choices, we will never know our true potential, as that diamond who is lost underneath it all. 

So here is to revealing that diamond, which is the true essence of my coaching business!
