Rebuilding trust after a betrayal is difficult - especially when you feel like your heart is all caged up and there’s nothing you seem to be able to do to get through to it.

As someone who has been there, I can honestly tell that this is not going to be easy... like forgiveness work, the exercises are simple but can be incredibly difficult to actually do.

Likewise, you’ll hear people say that forgiveness and trust exercises are useless, which is true if your intention is wrong.

Get your intention right and really mean for trust be granted again and it will happen - the exercises will work their magic.

2020 has certainly been a year of surprises! There’s no denying that.

To be honest though, I’m pretty sure many of us were secretly holding out for a zombie apocalypse, if the TV shows and movies of the past few years are anything to judge by!

So I asked myself, what would this be like if this was a zombie apocalypse? And why would a zombie apocalypse be better than the events of the world we’re currently facing?

Here are 24 Reasons Why a Zombie Apocalypse would be better than the Events of 2020 so far.

3D vs 5D reality question

"How will my spiritual growth & knowledge affect my relationship with my spouse and children?

I've already seen both negative and positive shifts; however I can't help wondering if as I grow more, that my inclination will be to separate myself from them - which I don't want to happen."

So this isn’t just about immediate relationships, but every relationship that is around you.

And the short answer is yes - the growth will impact your journey A LOT, and not in ways that you necessarily expect.

The worst thing about being in an abusive relationship with a bully, abuser or narcissist is the long-term damage it does to your self-esteem – the way it changes how you feel about, see and interact with the world.

Maybe it’s a result of the greed and ego focus of the world we live in, but many of us are, or have been in relationship with narcissists and psychopaths.

How do narcissists and psychopaths break down your self-esteem in abusive relationships?

The 7Ps of Ego for Kids is reworked to help kids more easily understand how their Ego expresses - and get an early handle on this difficult concept.

8 dangerous myths about Twin Flame relationships

When you first hear about Twin Flames the idea is appealing - largely because it’s misunderstood at first.

Most people make the mistake of thinking that a Twin Flame means guaranteed love - a guaranteed relationship.

The second reason that Twin Flames appeal is this desperate need we all have to be special - at least to one person… The One.

In this regard, Ego has really screwed us over, as has society, with this idea of entitlement to love, a guarantee of love from Divine sources.

A grief and loss experience, post-ascension

So I don’t often get really tangible experiences to illustrate what it’s like for me since I crossed over, what you can expect and why you want to get there, but my current experience of grief and loss over Eggy is unfolding…. and it’s fascinating.

A healer's perspective on manifestation

A thought just occurred... the whole concept of single-mindedly focusing on a goal when you're manifesting is really difficult to do, and it's where most of us fall over.

And then I realized its because it's an unnatural process - it requires us to ignore the shadow: the doubts and fears etc.

Those ego/shadow emotions are not emotions that like to be ignored - if you just avoid them, they only get louder and louder.

Then I thought, there has to be a way or point that the alignment with the resonance happens instantaneously - as a revelation.

The very idea that you should be able to feel love for them - that you even exist in the first place - that's the Ego trap.

You will change and vacillate as you grow... sometimes you'll have hope, at other times you will feel disdain, at others complete disappointment.

The Ego or spiritual journey has as one of its goals that you accept death, the transience of life.

This is one of the more vague pieces of the puzzle that doesn't readily make sense.

I lived through the apartheid changeover in South Africa. In fact I turned 16 the day after the famous 1994 elections. When I entered high school, I went into a racially-integrated school because racial segregation had been lifted.

Over the past nearly 23 years I’ve watched my country and people evolve… and it has gotten ugly, largely because people are determined to hold onto the ugliness and hatred.

An argument for patience

Since achieving enlightenment in December 2016, barriers have dropped away that have enabled me to see the final connections on stuff that I just could never before.

Like I knew the details of the morphic field, but I couldn't quite see actually how it worked and the mechanisms and how it really all fit in. Now however I can put my mind there and within a while the answer just comes.

So at the same time, spiritual concepts have really made sense and I've really been able to apply them as tools. Concepts like faith, appreciation, patience, compassion, humility.

The most fascinating of these though is patience...

I've been actively applying patience as a tool.

An incredible forgiveness release

What an incredibly powerful and healing day yesterday (16 May 2017) was. In the space of an hour, we reconciled 17 years of pain, abandonment and misunderstanding and achieved a complete forgiveness release among all the parties involved.

Yes - in an hour, really. Then we went out for milkshakes as a family.
