The Vibe And Shine

I decided to do a light and fun post this week. Not everything has to be "serious" all the time... We are allowed having fun with the work we're doing too. This week is ' The Matrix ' Appreciation Week. At least in my universe it is... If you haven't seen 'The Matrix', do yourself a favour and watch it. I watched it the first installment when it originally came out, with no clue of how 'in your face' it was, parading around as a Box Office science-fiction smash hit when in truth it's actual genre is more 'Science-Fact'. That movie premiered on big screens around the world and millions of people flocked to see each installment, and as a young 20-year-old, my friends and I thought 'The Wachowskis' had the most incredible imagination ever for coming up with such a fantastic storyline.  The plot would thicken with each installment of the trilogy and it would just get more and more mindblowing and everyone raved about how ...

I read somewhere that the first seven years of our life are the most important, and that the events we experience during those sensitive years create the basis for who we become as adults. What unfolds emotionally for each person during childhood often has happy and painful parts to it, some more of one than the other. Some of the things that happen at such vulnerable ages will be traumatic and will be the breeding grounds for psychological issues as an adult. Other things will be more conducive to becoming well-adjusted adults who have their head screwed on properly. It's up to us, as adults, when we get triggered, to unpack the feelings and thoughts around the long-gone event and process it from a more mature mindset, and understand that sometimes we put things away that are too big for us to understand when we're children. These re-manifest later on when we're adults as disproportionate reactions to certain situations. Often it's stuff that doesn't w...

Someone asked me yesterday how I decide on a topic to write about because my words always seem to synchronise with where they are at in their life. My answer was quite simply that each week I choose to write about what I am sitting with in my life at the time of writing. I have a list of subjects I want to write about in case I am ever stuck for something to pour out and pay forward, but for the most part, either inspiration hits me, or a process of my own is unfolding and I am remembering the tools and skills I have learned along the way to navigate my way through it. This week, I'm in a state of emotional purging. It always begins the same way: my life is in a wonderful space and I am building a better and better life for myself daily. I am dedicated and committed to my personal evolution and being the best person I can be. I like who I am, respect who I am, and love myself. I have everything I need and want. I have amazing people in my life. I am busy and my life is...

I would like to speak about vulnerability in an upcoming post, but I felt it necessary to first be vulnerable with you and let you know you're not alone in your journey through your shadow, and that creating a better life for yourself requires tough emotional work that all 'wayshowers' also face. It's because we've chosen to face the darkness inside ourselves and move through our shadows that we can show you the way. It's not because we were brought to this earth without darkness and only know how to navigate the light. We know our way through the dark and show you how to find your way through yours. Just because I've decided to pay the knowledge I've acquired forward to help others does not make me immune to pain from now on. I'm a human, just like everyone else, and while I have worked damn hard to rise above much of my earlier suffering and bust through many barriers of my mind that kept me trapped, I do still get tripped up in life on ...

Last week I spoke about the role faith plays in the manifestation process. The recap: It doesn't matter who your religious icon is or if you aren't even religious. You just need to believe that it's going to come. I personally like to believe in myself and my ability to bring in what I want through the flow of life. This week's post is very synchronistically one that's on point by life of a reminder for me of the grace in letting go by teaching it to others. To speak personally of something so close to my heart that I've been working on manifesting for almost two years now, it's come to the time for me to let go. I have done everything I can to bring it in. I've aligned my vibration and have the knowing, but energetically it's come back around for another round of me wanting it too much, and needing to let go even more. Until recently, I had arrived at a point of not even really wanting it anymore, but when a whiff of it got up in m...

Photo by: David John Long First up on the list of 'focused energies' involved in the manifestation creation process is 'thought', and how to harness it and direct it intentionally to bring in what you want. Let me be abundantly clear: Each and every human being has the ability to create physical change in their life. It's not a gift bestowed upon life's select favourites. Life has no favourites. Life is truly what we make of it, and everything that comes into our reality is an external reflection of what is going on internally within us. Everything. As gnarly and nasty as it gets. Somewhere inside us we are at war within ourselves over something we've interpreted as a 'wrong' or 'bad' experience. When we've judged an external event as good or bad, we create a belief system around it, and our beliefs are thoughts, which is what creates the world around us. We need to create new beliefs to replace the negative self-limiting...

Photo by: Monique Grobler. Learn How To Manifest Keen to learn the exact steps for successful manifestation every time? Continuing on from my science posts, where I reported to you that quantum-physics has scientifically proven we create our realities using our observation and attention (and also by learning to cultivate and harness our emotions to influence the energy field in and around all things of this world) in this post, I will break down what our 'observation' is. We also look at why our observation, or attention, makes such a difference when it comes to the manifestation of our world around us. What is our observation? And why is it important for manifestation? Well, we have eyes, nose, skin, mouth and ears... but without our 'consciousness', there is no receiving 'observer' to translate and choose how we experience the sensory inputs such as enticing smells, comforting tactile textures, decadent tastes, music that sings to our heart, or breatht...

Linda, 34, Cape Town "I met Nicholette in 2016, at a very low point in my life. I'd moved cities, with two very young children, with little support base and almost no friends. We gelled instantly and I was amazed by her personal confidence and development, the likes of which I've hardly seen in anyone else. She helped me grow myself into a stronger, more confident person while at the same time nurtured my inner child. She always understood the problems I had and never judged or spoke condescendingly towards me, and gave me relevant insight on how to move through a difficult emotion or state of being. We have both been on a very similar path since we met and we constantly confer with each other on how we can better our selves and the world around us." Angela, 29, San Diego "I've known Nicholette since 2015 now, and since the beginning it was clear that she had so much to share with this world. Nicholette has seen me through highs and lows and throug...
