Once you give yourself the gift of forgiveness, you can live in the here-and-now and experience true love, balance, and a heart filled with joy and light. You can learn the power of meditation, steps to openly examine your painful past, and valuable tools to help you create balance. Through a comprehensive, holistic approachwhich involves a detailed mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional inventoryyou can begin the healing process.

      Introduction

      OUR JOURNEYS IN LIFE ARE filled with constant changes. There is not a single person on this planet that has not experienced some form of trauma. This book The Gifts we are given is a continuation from my previous book How I learnt to Heal through Spirituality which was an autobiography of my journey and how I have progressed through understanding and growing through Spirituality. This book is about what I have learnt from those experiences and how I have progressed from these learning’s. It is this Gift that I am sharing with you.

      We all go through learning at different times in our lives and some experience traumas from early childhood, which can be a difficult matter to keep in the past, without revisiting them time and time again. It can be a difficult matter to release these experiences until we find the key within ourselves to release the unsettling times and turn them into Gifts.

      There are two different sections to this book. Today there are many different forms of healing available to us and they can be valuable tools to assist us, yet sometimes the past comes back to haunt us. In this book it shows you a method that can assist in those times.

      The first four parts are about the understanding that you are not alone, that all of us have had our own unique learning experiences the moment we enter this earthly plane. The last section is an active learning where you can work through your own concerns on how your journey has affected you, mentally physically spiritually and emotionally. To assist in knowing what actions you can take to release the past, for the most important experiences are the ones we learn in the present, by keeping in mind our pasts, to avoid going through the same experiences over and over, which in itself can be difficult and confusing. This book is a method of releasing the past experiences, to create new learning that assist us in growing as human and Spirit beings.

      Belief in yourself and your Spirituality is a big part of this book, for we all look for answers to assist us in soothing the soul, the mind, our emotions and physical concerns. This Soul Searching can lead us down many paths and sometimes can be confusing with feelings of lost that often occur until we find our answers from within. To quote from an ancient source To heal the body, first we must heal the mind which was said by Plato around 842BC. We as human beings have been looking for answers in our healing since the dawn of humanity and each one of us holds the keys through our experiences within ourselves, to find our healing path.

      In chapter one, part one Track you own evolution can bring up traumas from the past, but can also be a Gift in seeing how these events have affected our lives and progress. Once you discover these answers you may surprise yourself on how much power you really have and it can also assist in finding how these experiences have created the person you are today.

      We all have heard of Vampires and some people truly believe that they exist. In chapter three Are you an emotional Vampire? I wrote about how there are people who feed off others, through control, abuse, negative thinking and feelings. This chapter is about how to protect you from those influences. It can turn your life around in creating a person who does not accept this form of behaviour from others.

      We can often be bombarded with negative emotions of others, and this can cause us to lack in confidence within. Protecting ourselves from these forces can be a difficult matter until we learn the key on how to guard against them. There will always be negative influences around us, but once you discover how to use your power within, these forces will not affect you as they have in the past. Negative and positive are intrinsically linked for the Universe cannot exist without both of these energies. It is up to ourselves on which we prefer to live in. I personally believe it is better to see the good rather than the negative, but also to be aware that there are always two sides and it is a matter of choice in which side you choose. It is also important to see a person as they really are, with both positive and negative aspects of their being, for the whole picture is better than half of the picture and gives a greater understanding of reality.

      Contemplation, meditation, is a valuable source to sort through any concerns, to create the balance of your inner soul needs. The world today is filled with stressful situations and managing our routine or way of life, can be filled with many obstacles. You can imagine how important it is to find ways of releasing stress, in a healthy manner, for it can cause concerns Spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Taking time for yourself can be a difficult matter, but finding the time can be a valuable tool to finding ways of releasing your stresses. It is just as important as creating your goals and desires in life. The interactive part of this book was designed to assist in sorting through your concerns and finding the steps to create your balance. This simple method of looking at you mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally and actions for change, gives a full picture of the healing process.

      Action is an important key here, for when going through a healing process of change it is necessary to follow through to find your answers in life. For without action, it is a thought process that can lead to confusion and lacking in self-confidence, without following through the changes you require in healing.

      Imagine feeling free and in full command of your destination, anything is possible if you truly believe. Be all you can be, for you deserve to be yourself, to be able to live your life with love, freedom and balance. Walk through your fear, for fear is only the imaginations of the mind.

      Wonderful things can happen when you release your past experiences and learning it brings you into the present, the here and now and this is where you can experience true love—balance, and a heart that is not heavy, but light and joyous.

      The Gifts We Are Given

      Track your own evolution

      MY MISSION IS TO BE a source of strength and hope. To show you how to be strong, not be afraid of your power, for their where times when I did know how to use these gifts. I wish to connect and share what I have learnt to understand. To find out what it is like to be powerful people, who stand in their own power.

      There have been heart ranching experiences in my life. Moments where I have been bitter closed down and retreated into my shell. I made active choices to move forward and take these experiences and literally bring them back to a form of reality, so I could move forward and assist others in what I have experienced, in some of the most difficult times in my life.

      My philosophy is that everyone needs to choose his or her path in life. To decide what they want to do and how to remain on that path. I wrote my first book How I Learnt and Healed through Spirituality as an Autobiography, It is also a work shop designed to assist others in their own life experiences.

      Providing not only clear insight, but it also gave me the opportunity to work through my past emotions. It showed me where I was heading and how I could make peace with the past, by connecting to myself.

      Being aware of my past actions and what I had done, was the key to make positive conscious choices for my future and changing my life around! An opportunity to become better at adapting to the challenges by thinking and believing, relaying on myself, by identifying and addressing my weaknesses, and using my mistakes as a teaching tool.

      As a young girl I went into life trusting, shy, naïve and willing to hand over my voice and the sense of self to the hands of strong energies, that came into my life. Ignoring my own inner voice and feelings, knowing that there is a world of experiences, other than the material world. I was following the human law of social agreement and social order, by doing as I was told, to believe in what I was told. Asking myself what choice do I have and how do I live my life. I started questioning who I was.

      Over the years I slowly turned this around and worked through being aware, that this is my "spiritual path". My connection, why I came to the earth, to work in the physical form again. To open up my sense of my true self, to literally turn it around, by using my discernment to know what is right and true for myself, to have faith and trust my feelings, my sense connection to the universe. My gift was working with the healing vibration. Having the ability to connect with people at the deepest levels of
