Words are magic.

How and what we speak create all of these little spells that in turn create our reality. Whether it be our inner voice, or words spoken to or about others.

When we are conscious of how we speak, we understand this clearly and see how in realtime we are manifesting in every moment. Our thoughts become words, our words become energy, the energy becomes action.

When we unconsciously choose our words, we are also creating our reality - but wonder… why does this keep happening to me? why do things never work in my favour? why does this pattern keep repeating for me?… and honestly it is because of our little spells.

So, how do we begin to choose consciously?

Through awareness.

Take note of how your mind speaks to you, speaks about you. Take notice of the words that come from your mouth unconsciously. Do you talk in a way that opens new pathways or closes them?

This is without judgement, simply observing the language we use. Is it fatalistic or extreme? Do we talk in absolutes? Are we kind, thoughtful, considered with our words?

A simple example is this -

‘Everything is always hard’. An absolute statement with the words ‘everything’ and ‘always’. There is no chance of it going any other way. And then when everything is always hard, your mind is like well see… I told you so. Confirmation and manifestation as to what you spoke becoming your reality.

A simple change?

‘Everything is easy…’ ‘things come to me and happen for me easily’.

Even if you do not believe it right now, your body does not know the difference. Speaking the words as if they are true starts to change the energy around us. So if I am wanting to be healthier, I simply start by saying _ ‘I am healthy and each day make healthy choices for myself easily’. By repeating the words that we want to be our reality, our body, our mind, our heart starts to go, oh ok then and let’s make this our reality. And then… it does become our reality.

It really is so simple.

I am a great surfer,

love in all ways finds me easily,

everyday is a blessing and full of surprises,

each day my vibrancy grows,

new doors of opportunity are already open for me…

Whatever YOU choose to speak, becomes your reality.

Words are powerful.

Words are able to heal, to express our deepest desires, to proclaim our love.

Words and language are our communication, or inner voice, the way we connect to others.

Our words have the power to be either medicine or poison in every moment. Becoming aware of our words and the language we use changes them from an unconscious poison to lovingly delivered medicine.

If you were to take a stocktake of the words and phrases that roll around your mind, what would you find?

Is there cheering you on, words of encouragement?

Do you have the sweet words your loved ones have shared with you?

Do you have the inner critic, your own voice, a voice from your childhood that crashes in anytime you try something new or different?

Think of the most simple, innocuous comment that has spent a lifetime rolling about your mind from which a story has been created and it has been given the power to affect each and every decision you have made.

From my own childhood there have been ‘a good girl is loved by everyone’ ‘money doesn’t grow on trees’ ‘be nice, give this person a hug/kiss’

The effect that this had on me means that unless I was ‘good’ at all times, I would not be loved.

That money is out of reach, unattainable, difficult to come to me.

That in exchange for affection, I will be seen as nice, and may even have money put into my hand. As was the custom, our relatives would give us money in exchange for affection. Transactional love? It was bred into me.

Looking at these statements, I know I have shed their value and they no longer have the same unconscious effect on me. It has been a process of inner reflection of what actually rolls around inside of me, what is it that I no longer need or require? What affects my peace? What is my truth?

Words have a profound effect on us. When we choose to speak consciously, and one of these old and worn programs jumps in to say things like, that’s silly, I can’t believe you did that, you’re an idiot, it won’t work, why are you even trying… we can take a step back and ask - is this my truth? Or is this something that I have allowed to become my truth?

Each word carries its own vibration or frequency. We choose what energy or emotion we attach (if any) - which alters the frequency and vibration. When we use or hear a particular word or sentence, we create this energy or field of frequency around us. The energy then matches what we put out into the world. So by me saying something like ‘my inner world is calm and peaceful and my outer world reflects this’ - means instantly I feel at calm and peace and I walk through my world this way. Less and less I am affected by disturbances around me, as I know I am peaceful and calm within. It has become my reality through my thoughts, my energy and my intention.

The same for if something said affects me and changes my vibration, more of this kind of energy comes to me.

We create our reality through our language that we speak in our inner and outer worlds.

How we honestly see ourselves is how the world sees us also. So, can we be more loving, kind and tender with ourselves?

This focus on language for me over the past week or so has been coming through in the way the words we use to describe each other, use to describe ourselves.

The two sides of this have been shown in real time recently. Someone who I love dearly and who I have loved my whole life referred to me as undiagnosed crazy. HA! Hahaha oh boy, now I can sit back and laugh though honestly, at the time it truly affected me, made me sad, questioned their motives for doing so, and then, I just let it go. I have no need to respond, to question or to prove myself. Maybe many people think I am crazy. Maybe others perceptions of me make it easy for them to categorise or define me in this way. If they do not understand me, or what I do, or how I have changed - this is an easy definition to make them feel more comfortable with who they are, and who I am. The unconscious ways we speak of ourselves and others - I had the choice to either allow another to define who I am, or see that is always my choice what is my truth.

Crazy? Crazy about loving people, crazy about changing peoples lives, crazy about myself, crazy about bringing more love into the world. Call me crazy - I am crazy - about love.

When I closed my eyes at the time, I asked - what am I? And the response? You are content. Another “C” word.

I am content.

And if this feeling of contentment or peace, or calm makes me seem crazy to another, then so be it. My peace is so much more valuable than defending or responding to another’s perception. I trusted myself above another’s opinion, I believed in myself more than another’s words, I know that they speak from a place not of love, and that’s ok. I choose how I speak, I choose what I feel and how I feel. My emotions and my responses I choose rather than reactions and I communicate easily what and how I feel, always through love.

A simple life, free of judgement, a loving freedom bound by no one outside of me, a peaceful existence where my only intention is to help others see how amazing and magical they are.

Offhand and innocuous comments can leave a lasting impression, they also can be deeply healing when we create a space to explore what has been activated within us. Without this experience, I would not have had this piece of writing, I would not have had the opportunity to change the energy around a simple word, I would not be told I am content. Gratitude to all those who see me as crazy, for here I am, surrounded by contentment. What a life, what magic, what deliciousness, when we see the big picture.

Words - and the energy we have around them… create magic, create medicine, create loving kindness & create a better world. Choose wisely.

I love you, nicole xxx

big big big news…

I have made the decision this past week to step away from all of the face - face in person work I have been doing with true woo cronulla, and to shut down one-one sessions. This has been an easy decision as I have created space to focus more on my teachings, my writings, my group programs and online courses. There are still many ways to connect, I have been running a daily clubhouse meditation room, I will have different online courses and workshops and will be focused with helping people step more into their love, their practice & their freedom.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out here -

I would like to say a big thank you to all who came along and supported my meditation classes and workshops, to true woo and all the practitioners who supported me here. It is time for me to be unbound by a physical space, and to create an online world where we can all be connected, no matter where we are x
