Musings - reflections, truths, and things I’m still learning to say out loud
The deeper work often arrives as a whisper. Here is where I try to catch it in words.
These are the quiet pieces. The words that didn’t belong on social media.
The truths I wrote down before I even knew I was ready to share them.
They’re not polished. But they’re real.
And if they meet something inside you - you’re in the right place.
I now write more freely, more often, and more truthfully over on Substack - under the same name: Musings of a Mystic.
You can visit, read, or subscribe - if the words feel like home.
Earlier Musings
(These words were written before Substack - but they still hold their own kind of truth.)
This is where I began to write in the open.
The language has shifted. I’ve shifted.
But these pieces still carry echoes of becoming - and they may meet something in you, too.
Personal Growth Can Be Painful
I needed my Big Girl Pants!
I spend a lot of time and energy, probably just like you, working on myself. My spiritual focus and beliefs determine the tone and flow of my day.
Some days, that tone is calm, sweet and pure.
Other days, not so much. And these are the days where my personal growth is in action. Painfully.
Recently that pain has been around Judgement.
Having a Spiritual Practice Doesn’t Give You A Free Pass
We practise. We meditate. We space clear and buy singing bowls.
We practise gratitude.
And forgiveness.
We work at being ‘good’ people.
And bad stuff still seems to happen to us and around us.
And when it does, we get angry, frustrated and yes maybe even have a temper tantrum.
Having a spiritual practice doesn’t guarantee you a free pass. It just doesn’t.
Coming Out Of The Psychic Closet
I’m psychic. There, I’ve said it. And make no mistake, it’s taken me years to get to this point where I can say it openly, with deep inner belief and understanding of exactly what that means.
Are You Psychic?
One of the ways I work with my clients is through Spiritual Mentoring. These sessions are where we explore their connection to Spirit, expand their awareness and deepen their practice. Through teaching rituals, tools and techniques a deeper understanding of their relationship with Spirit is allowed to develop.
There comes a point in these sessions where I usually get asked, “are you psychic?”
I always answer “yes!”.
And this is the part I love, because they then ask, “how do I know if I’m psychic and not just a little bit crazy?”
Claiming Sovereignty
As a child I used to have nightmares.
Living, breathing nightmares that would rise up out of the darkness each night to terrorise me.
The black panther pacing back and forth on top of my wardrobe.
The vicious tribal man waiting under my bed, knife poised, waiting to stab me through the mattress.
As a child, all I knew was that I was being hunted and my bedroom was no sanctuary against the onslaught.
To my childs senses, it was overwhelming and terrifying. And very, very real.
Salt Lamps - Do They Really Work?
I’m often asked about the Salt Lamp I have in my healing room – why I have it and what does it do?
Well, the main thing Salt Lamps do is emit negative ions into the atmosphere.
You know that feeling you get after a thunderstorm, when the air smells crisp and clean? That’s due to the negative ions emitted from the electrical charge of the storm.
Ions are atoms, and can be either negative or positive.
