I am never at a loss to choose who's going to be my inspiration for a Muse Mantra.

I am surrounded by entrepreneurs, authors, artists, singers, creative planners and organisers, sacred space workers, shamans, healers, designers, bakers, painters, coaches, therapists....... {this list is endless!}

Inspiration comes from those that may be in the public domain but more so those that are quietly doing 'their thing' softly, gently and making a huge difference within their community online and offline.

Marie Forleo is one such woman who I have to sit down and admire.

She has created a wonderful experience called B-school.  I joined B-school last March so I'm in my 2nd year of it (the great thing being that once you join, you are a member for life and can re-do it every year).  This all helps to clarify and focus on new business products, refine your practice, marketing, communications, website, products etc plus meet and connect with a whole new cohort from around the planet.

I have met some really wonderful peeps through B-school who I have struck up friendships with online and met in person too!

Marie uses this mantra all the time and if I'm correct, it originates from her mom.

Here's how I use it:

No matter what shit you're hit with ...... Everything is Figureoutable

No matter how dark things are ..... Everything if Figureoutable

No matter how stressed you are ..... Everything if Figureoutable

No matter how pulled you are ..... Everything if Figureoutable

No matter where you're at with your business ..... Everything if Figureoutable

This list can go on and on and on, can't it?!

There are many times we can throw in the towel. 

When we have money worries, health worries, or relationship worries......

*________ worries.... {fill in the *}

Yet, we have to believe that Everything if Figureoutable.

Whether we seek support from others, reach out and speak our truth, open up and say something is not working, or just asking for help.

We have to remember this mantra.

Last year when I joined B-school I created a Muse Mantra of Marie that helped me to get through those weeks of implementation and creating some basic business foundations.   

Clarity comes from engagement not thought.

And boy, did I really need to hear that one daily.

You BET ya!

Relax the thinking Jules and start engaging, this brings clarity, honey.

When I look back to my Muses and how I have developed my practice over the last 12 months, I can really see development and that is from "DAILY DOING."

I am proud to have created these two Muse Mantras of Marie, one of about 200 I now have and I move forward with my business with gusto.

Much love

If you're interested in following this journey, you can subscribe to receive my Museletter, which you'll get every New Moon and Full Moon, plus you'll receive a free Muse Mantra for download every month.  There's lots of other products and goodies that I'm working on and hoping to release in the next few months.

Have you been feeling out of balance, out of sync, out of wack? 

Do you feel constantly tired and exhausted?
Are you wanting to review your total health and well being?
Are there certain aspects of your life that needs healing?
Would you like to receive inspirational healing muse mantras?
Would you like support?

As we move through the change in seasons, we often feel this way between the shift from winter into spring.

Yet, there's something else - perhaps you're generally feeling very low, with not much oomph.

I have written Re:Balance ME to help you look at various aspects of your health,  exploring one small thing every day for 30 days.  At the same time, I will be writing my third book, so your input will be invaluable.

Why am I guiding this journey?

When I was in my 20s, I suffered a very debilitating illness for pretty much the whole of that decade; M.E, (myalgic encephalomyelitis) sometimes also known as CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome).

I was very fortunate, because by the time I was 29, I was well, healed, having embarked on such a long journey of investigation and healing work.  I had to deal with intense flu-like symptoms and fatigue, lack of coordination, muscle wasting, headaches, coordination problems and pain, throat restriction....... I could go on....

I pretty much tried every complementary therapy going and became my own private investigator.

There wasn't one thing that healed me but a collective bundle. 

re:balance me

Will take you on a journey to look at six different areas of your health. 

physical
intellectual
emotional
social
spiritual
environmental

Would you like to join me?

In January my first Muse Mantra Monday was Anne Frank, I feel very proud of this Muse Mantra because of the time I spent focusing on Anne's photographs, the connection I had to her and her journal writing. 

So imagine my surprise to recently be introduced to a modern day Frank.  Recently, I met 24 year old Australian, Caroline Frank in Jerusalem at a friend's family celebration.  She had taken a huge leap of faith and was accepted for an Internship at The Jerusalem Post in Tel Aviv.  Transforming her life as a community journalist in Perth to the hustle and bustle of the big city of Tel Aviv.

We hit it off immediately.

On so many levels. 

We shared experiences of self healing and our spirituality.

It felt like we had known each other for a very long time. 

The obvious next step for me was to create a Soul Portrait and Muse Mantra for Caroline.

Caroline very kindly offered to answer a few question for me as this was a very new experience for her.

1. How did you feel choosing your photos to send to me?
I enjoyed picking the photos but it was tough to pick five. I wanted to choose photos that represented my authentic self and feel I achieved that, especially including the photo of me with a notebook and pen in my journalistic state.

2. How about answering the questions I asked, how was that?
I love writing but I have never really thought about the colours that represent me before and my colour story. That was something different and made me think consciously about what I wear.

3. In thinking about your mantra, can you say how you came to this ? Where does it come from?
I live by the phrases  "Live the moment" and "What have you got to lose?" because life is too short to be worrying about insignificant things. After all, you only live once (#YOLO) - so live it up while you still can!

4. In now seeing your muse mantra, how do you want to use it?
I am using my muse mantra as the background to my laptop and my mobile phone. I want to see it as often as I can to be reminded of its meaning.

5. How would you say you feel about yourself now that I have reflected back the essence of you?
I enjoyed seeing the bright colours and loved the purple shoulder bag - it was like looking at my true self.  My soul feels happy.

It's Afternoon Tea Time and I was lucky enough to spend it with Jen Lashua, also known as Jen Tea because she owns The Artisan Handcrafted Tea Company called Love and Tea (ain't that the best company name?!).

We kept our chat to about 30 mins and believe me, we could have gone on and on chatting (and you can tell because I completely forgot what I was going to say - that's how authentic this is!!).

Without further ado, grab yourself a cup of tea and sit back to join Jen and I for Afternoon Tea.

Much Love

This is the Muse Mantra that I did for Day 3: Seeds of Love, the course written by Eithne Egan and illustrated my me.  Let it be known that I am totally loving receiving them every morning and I know that you'll love them too.    There's still time for you to sign up here.  It runs till 20th March but you'll get access to the previous emails.

Last year I created my own Soul Portrait, after finishing drawing 75 women within The Joy Up, I was asked by Hannah and many other women why I hadn't created my own?

A very good question. 

I don't know!

I remember feeling extremely vulnerable to look at myself and draw what I saw. 

Then I remembered that actually, I needed to do exactly what I was doing with all the other women.  To capture the essence of who that woman was and fill the drawing with Reiki blessings.

Yet, it was still a challenging thing to do.

For myself.

But I did it. This is from January 2013.

My healing art has evolved over the last 12 months - I am now extending my Soul Portraits and creating The Muse Mantra, which I just adore (and I hope you to do!)

I had wanted to do a Muse Mantra for myself, and I really allowed the Mantra to appear to me. 

This all happened when I read Happiness by Thich Nhat Hanh.

It was here, during learning some Mindfulness breathing techniques that I just went Ýes.

Every morning, i spend time breathing through this and it so captures how I would like to start my day.

Till next week.
Much Love

Today's Muse Mantra Mentor takes me back to when I worked with Fay Chapple.  Fay is the creator and founder of The Clarity Centre in Ontario, Canada.

We focused on the entire healing package of Soul Portrait Medicine {soon to be released!!} 

An holistic audio visual healing experience.

It all starts with you

Creating sacred space 
Calling in my Reiki Guides 
Spirit Guides, Animal Totems.

Sketching
Drawing Reiki symbols within the marks
Healing past hurts
Balancing present issues
All powered up.

I soak in a sense of you 
Your soul whispers
I record messages

Following the lines
of your form. 
Feeling the flow
of your essence
Reflecting your divine self 
Calm,
Meditative
Incense
Nurtures 
Candles
Light the way
Drum provides the beat
You're lying before me
Feeling the healing.

The wisdom begins to reveal
Unfold Muse Mantra
Absorb feelings
Energy in Motion
Prayer, Quote, Affirmation
Guiding light
Inspirations to support 
Anchoring feelings
 Divine self
Frame it, post it
Make your own, 
Feel protected
Seen
Beautiful
Just as you are

What are Soul Portraits?

They are upper body illustrations that are filled with Reiki symbols.  They are, I like to call them, a ‘healing by proxy’ as once you experience one, it begins to have a domino effect in your life and you start to feel the healing emanate through the colour, lines and form. 

The finished Muse Mantra becomes a powerful totem, used in healing spaces, altars, walls, meditations, journals and vision books.

The entire process from start to finish:

Muse Meditation Video:  During the creation phase, I record the process in photographs; Listening intuitively I notice what's being said to me. This finished video can be used regularly by you as a meditation and boost. 

Hope you have enjoyed a walk through of Soul Portrait Medicine.

I will catch you next week.

Much love
