NAME of AWAKEN THE FLOW:

The name of AWAKEN THE FLOW is our original idea. 

AWAKEN THE FLOW is our original name. 

This name was created by me and my loving partner in 2003.  We had just returned home from an energy healing training course, which had been followed by some time spent with various practices during more travel.  Back at home, we looked at each other and said ‘What should we call our new business?’  Then on the spur of the moment, one of us came up with the name of “Awaken”, and the other came up with the name of “Flow”.  We looked at each other, smiled and laughed, and at the same time we both said “Yes”.

....... 

WEBSITE:

I created this website in 2003.   We established our healing business.  Our goal was, (and still is), to help people.  What a beautiful new beginning in our lives.  I always work with true integrity, as does my partner.  I believe that truth is a higher light and a higher energy to live by. 

.......

CONCEPT of AWAKEN THE FLOW:

The concept of AWAKEN THE FLOW first came to me after the tragic loss of our stillborn baby boy in traumatic near-death circumstances, where I was helped and comforted by angels until other surprise help arrived.   As part of my recovery journey, I was at home, shell-shocked, sad, and in a daze, and experimenting with various healing techniques to try to help myself to recover and feel better.  Then guided by Spirit, I became aware that all that you need for true healing, recovery, health-building, strength, peace, and the resilience to create a new beginning, is already within you, as long as you combine that inner work together with higher spiritual guidance. 

 So that’s where the concept of AWAKEN THE FLOW came from.  As many of you know, I first shared that insight here on this website back in 2003.  I healed myself with the information in my books, with a combination of various holistic healing techniques and spiritual practices, and I recovered.  Then Spirit guided me to write my first book, "Little Gems of Wholistic Healing and the Spiritual Path".  That book was recently updated and republished this year, in April 2024.

 When you “Awaken The Flow” from within you, then you can truly create a better life regardless of where you’re starting from. 

This AWAKEN THE FLOW concept is the basis for all of my books. 

​.......

​SUPPORT DURING DIFFICULTIES:

It’s normal that some of the people in your life won’t necessarily understand the impact on you when something really difficult happens in your life.  But you’re never really alone because Spirit is always there to guide you, together with your inner guidance too.  My books will help you too. x 

.......

WHY THIS WEBSITE WAS CREATED:

This “Awaken The Flow” website was originally created to share information, ideas, and techniques, regarding the fact that all that you need for the balance and resilience to create a new beginning is already within you, including your connection to something greater. 

You’re one part of the whole, which is the All That Is.
There's a flow to life, which permeates you and everything else too. 
There's a way of things. 
  Your still small voice within, (aka your consciousness, inner light, your soul/spirit) is also your connection to that something greater. 

I call that something greater ‘Spirit’ with a capital “S”, but you might also call this God, deity, divinity, the Universe, Universal Consciousness, Energy, Nature, the Light, Source, Para Brahman, the That, Paramatma, Supreme Soul, the Dao, the Flow, Universal Flow, or another name. 

Spirit works through you, and through your consciousness, with the best ways to reach you and help you.  This could be through your intuition, your hunches, meditation, prayer, when you have an inner intention to maintain principles and ethics and integrity, when you have an inner calling about your individual purpose, when you receive a moment of inspiration or clarity, solid ‘knowing’ that comes from ‘somewhere’, a strong social conscience to do what’s right, a kind word that you receive from someone at random at a time when you really need to hear a word of kindness, other help when you really need it, and with other ways.

​The holistic healing approach in my books helps you to work together with the energy of the greater purpose to life. 

When you connect with that something greater, whether you see this as Spirit, Source, God, the Universal Flow of Life, or something else, this holistic approach helps you to fully resolve daily life issues, gives you more help in times of need, helps with your spiritual journey, and overall helps you to create a better life. 

………………..

ABOUT ME: 

*   Due to my personal experience, I know for sure that there’s a meaning to life. 

There’s a greater purpose. 

There’s an afterlife. 

You’re going somewhere else after here.  So you have your own greater purpose too.  Your consciousness/soul continues after the death of your physical body.  You have an end of life ‘review’.  Karma is real.  What you do matters.  What you put out comes back to you.  You sure do reap what you sow.  I also know that there are many benefits with a holistic approach to creating a better life, and getting through problems, and with your spiritual journey.  I also know for sure that a greater presence/greater power exists, which has the power of life over death. 

*  Guided by Spirit, I’ve helped people from all over the world with spiritual teaching, natural healing, holistic healing, energy healing, spiritual healing, holistic self-help, soul readings, life direction, and spiritual guidance and healing help through my books and posts.

* My books are written from a higher consciousness perspective which includes help for the bigger picture.

 *  I've built an extraordinary resilience and inner strength.  My past was shockingly tragic.  But I rose up to help others. 

  *  I don’t see myself as ‘only atheist’ or ‘only religious’.  I've experienced that you don't have to be only one or the other.  I've personally experienced that your beliefs don't affect the supernatural help you receive when you really need help.     For want of a better word, I see myself as 'spiritual', where I aim to become a better person, doing the best I can as an adult, just as a child does their best to learn their way in the world. 

* I’m tolerant and open-minded to ALL bona fide truths.  I think that the teachings of ‘only worshipping one God’ and also ‘not worshipping false idols’ refers to placing more importance on the greater presence/greater power/That something which is greater, however you see That, and in whatever way That resonates with you, in preference to placing higher importance on material possessions and other material stuff which you can't take with you when your time comes to leave this world. 

* Form and no-form approach:  Since my ‘after death’ experience where I experienced a greater presence as a bright white light and a greater energy, I can respect that there are two ways to perceive that greater presence/energy. 
 
(1)  From the perspective of energy and the no God/no soul/no form approach, that white light presence could be seen as higher consciousness, Christ Consciousness, Buddha Consciousness, Shiva Consciousness, Krishna Consciousness, Para Brahman or ‘the That’, Light, Spirit, Source, the divine or Divinity, supreme soul of yoga, the all-pervading Dao, the Flow, Nature, or simply as higher energy. 
 
(2)  Whereas from the perspective of the approach of God/soul/the form approach, that white light presence could be seen as God, Christ, Jesus, Buddha, Shiva, Krishna, an angel, deity, spirit guide, cosmic guide, ascended master, and so on.  (I’ve talked about this in my book “Awaken Your Soul Within”,  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47NHQXN .)

*  I respect the ‘form’ approach AND the ‘no form’ approach to God/greater presence/greater energy, for 3 reasons:
(1) I respect that what I personally experienced of the greater presence could be perceived as either form or no form, (that is, God, or white light).

(2) I respect that we all do our best to trust, understand, connect with, and have faith in what we believe about the full absolute truth UNTIL we’re not only free from the confines of our physical body but we’ve ALSO moved on to our next destination after this earthly realm.

(3) I respect that the variety of spiritual ways, beliefs, and choices means that help and guidance can be received by more people. 

* Science vs supernatural vs natural:
I have a science-based degree, so I’m trained and experienced in applying practical logic and reasoning, and asking questions, and thinking for myself rather than accepting something on face value.  I also have years of helping to counsel people which includes methods of proven psychological assistance.  At the same time, I've also experienced things during my life, travels, and during the course of my work with helping people, which can't be proven by science at this time. 

But here's the thing.  Just because science can't 'prove' something by scientific means doesn't mean that it hasn't happened.  I know I'm in my right mind.  I know what I've experienced. 

Also, just because science can't 'prove' something doesn't mean that it's supernatural.  What I've experienced has been natural.  Things happened in my life which caused other things to happen.  A near-death experience naturally gives you an awakening where you revaluate things, and then you can change because of that new perspective.  Also, when people needed help from me, then there were ways that I could help them which were new to me.  

I think there are many natural laws in the Universe.  There are many bona fide scriptures from various beliefs and religions which speak of God/White Light, deities, angels, demons, clairvoyance, clairaudience, leaving your physical body, resurrection, ascension, and more.   This information came from somewhere.   I trust that we find out about and prove new concepts, including the discovery of ancient wisdom teachings, when we're ready. 

Speaking of what's natural, my experiences of the supernatural have happened naturally.  As with other energy healers, I’m aware that mind-altering substances change your aura, your energy, and your light vibration, and this affects your consciousness.  Sometimes you can't repair auric energy damage, and other times you can.  It's a gamble.  I believe with all my heart that this matters, because we’re all going somewhere else from here.  What you do, and your motivation and intention, matters.  To me, natural is best.

* I’m grateful to have found answers which substantiate my experiences.  I’ve done my fair share of study, research, travel, and genuine practice, with metaphysics, spirituality, various world religions, the Dao, yoga, science, philosophy, theosophy, New Age, ancient wisdom, ancient cultures and geography, self-help, healing, and more.  I can respectfully see that there are many bona fide spiritual choices and paths Home. 

* My life has had periods of time where daily life, and also my spiritual journey, is anything but perfect, the same as with everyone else.  But I follow the ideas and information in my books, and these practical holistic techniques continue to help me.  So my sincere intent is that the ideas and information in my books will help you too. x 

* There have also been an unusual amount of attempted 'distractions', interruptions, and obstacles, with the writing and publishing of my books.  I write and publish my books from my heart, guided by Spirit, with a sincere intent to help as many people as I can.  So I see any distractions to my purpose with helping people as a sign that I'm on to something, and this gives me more motivation and determination to keep going. :)     It took me a while to understand this, but now I turn around each distraction and obstacle in order to benefit love and light, and I also now include this in my writing too.  So any attempted interference or ‘distractions’ with my purpose now backfires.  Instead, the side of love and light gets stronger EVERY TIME.  

​*  My books are written with guidance from Spirit together with what I've learned through experience, study, and helping people.

WHEN I DIED:  (Never give up) 
 

During the June Solstice full moon this year 2024, while I was watching pods of whales on the ocean, I experienced a clear epiphany about the meaning of being returned back to life after I died. 
Here it is.
NEVER GIVE UP.

This epiphany is so important.  No matter the distractions, interruptions, or obstacles, or other attempted interferences while you’re living your daily life, or while you’re on the spiritual path, or while you’re following your calling or your purpose,
KEEP GOING.
Never give up.
 
I learned this the hard way, when I died.  Previously, this website had been up and running for some time, and I was helping people.  I was helping to heal people, I was writing my simple self-help books, and people had begun to buy my books.  But then a string of very bad things happened.  One of those was that I was bullied by two groups of people at the same time, including the people who lived directly behind me, so I had no peace.  That was a very traumatic time in my life.  I eventually became so stressed, anxious, depressed, and sometimes suicidal, that I became sick.

Something in me had given up, but I wasn't aware of this until it was too late. 
Then to my surprise, I died. 
My life was over. 
It all happened in a split second. 

While I was dead, a greater presence (bright White Light/God/Source) granted me the choice to be returned back to life at that time, on the condition that I agreed to resume my book writing.

This is how I know for sure that a greater power exists. 

During that experience when I was dead, I already 'knew' that there WAS a greater power.  The knowledge and memory was already within me, in my soul memory in spirit.  Something within me ‘remembered’ to have great respect for, and to be humble before, that greater presence.

The clincher for me was that I chose to be returned to life because I wasn’t going to give the dark side the satisfaction of keeping me down. 
Then as I made that choice, the greater presence instantly returned me back to life, in the blink of an eye.

Ok, I’m not going to sugar coat this.  When I was returned back to life, my circumstances and the situation around me didn’t change straight away.  It was still very tough, at first.  But I got through it.  You see, I had changed from within.  I knew for sure during my everyday life, with 100% certainty, that there was something more to everyday life.  From then on, I knew for sure that we’re all going somewhere else, and it’s up to each of us as to what we choose to do about that.  I had clear focus from that time onwards, and that increased my inner strength, balance, resilience, and personal power.

My takeaway from that experience is to NEVER GIVE UP.
KEEP GOING.
Never give up when you’re finding that things are extra tough, whether that’s with a situation or with people, or your romantic partner, soul mate, your job, school, teachers, studying, raising a family, helping someone, working on your wellness or fitness, finding the right support, trying to get through something really difficult or painful, looking for meaning, your spiritual journey, or whatever else you’re here to do right now at this time in your life.  

Look, I know darn well that sometimes it feels like there’s no other choice than to give up.
But here’s the thing.  No matter how difficult something is, you always have a choice.

We all have ups and downs. 
This is normal. 

Regardless of the situation, you have free will to think as you choose.
Nobody can take your free will away from you.

You need to fight for your freedom, for whatever this means to you at the time.

For me at that moment, it meant fighting for the freedom to do what I was here to do at that time.

NEVER GIVE UP.
Hang on, as best as you can, in any way you can. 
Things always change again. 

Also, remember to ask for help too. 

Do the best you can according to the circumstances, and according to each particular situation.
You can only work with what you’ve got, and with where you are right now.

 My books are written with compassion, understanding, and gentle techniques to help you to KEEP GOING with a balanced and holistic approach to healing, and for better health and wellbeing, creating a better life, problem solving, spiritual upliftment, other spiritual help, and also, better balance and more resilience to create a new beginning whenever you want.

​​​TRUST 

My work in the world including my books, posts, and all else, is guided by Spirit.

Since my after-death experience, I see Spirit as form and also no form, religion and also no religion, within and without, and also as the help you receive through the still quiet voice within, your hunches, moments of inspiration, intuition, living with principles, integrity, and a strong social conscience to do what’s right, and that kind word you receive from someone at random at a time when you really need to hear a word of kindness.

​I’ve experienced that Spirit works through you, and through your consciousness, with the best ways to reach you and help you.  It doesn’t matter if you don’t ‘believe’ in Spirit, because you’ll receive higher help anyway.  This is what happened with me when the angels helped me when I lost my baby.  I didn’t call out to or pray to the angels for help on that day, but the angels appeared and helped me anyway.  At other times I’ve received help through a single moment of inspiration, which came from ‘somewhere’, that completely altered my life course and helped me to move forwards again. ​

 I trust that you'll be drawn to my energy, books, and posts, if this is right for you.     It’s my heartfelt and sincere intent that my books are a source of guidance and support for you, to help you, guide you, and empower you to create a better life and a better spiritual journey. 

I respect that people are at different places on their life journey and spiritual journey, and this is normal.  We all have a different story which is based on our life experiences.    My books will help you, regardless of where you're at right now in your life. 

The intent of my books is to guide you to HELP YOURSELF to create a better life with simple and practical techniques, in your own space, at your own pace, no matter where you're starting from. 

"... Life ISN'T about what happens TO you.
Life’s about what you DO with what happens to you.
You CHOOSE what you think, say, and do.  
You CREATE your own destiny.  ".   (SD, 2003)

 ​Make time today to be still, and to really listen, to the small, quiet voice within.  
Your journey may have already begun, but you CHOOSE where you go from here.

"Awaken The Flow, to your own Divinity within.
When you become aware of who you really are, and why you're really here, 
Then you're at One, and at peace, with All That Is".  (SD.)
(This was my first quote, posted in 2003 when this website was created.) 

 
Namaste, in the highest light, love, peace, and truth,
xx Shanti.
