So Fiona you've been doing this mentoring work this healing work for how many how long it's been doing this now? I guess almost 30 decades. Yeah. Yeah, 30 years. My gosh and you've of course gone through the ups and downs of business like all of us have and and you kind of in in the preparation to this Conversation you kind of was thinking of three particular business lessons you've learned and I'll let you kind of start anywhere anywhere you'd like Well, just as you make an introduction I was reflecting on the fact that when I Decided that that I wanted to share my gift my understanding of healing. I Didn't my intention was not to have a business. It was to share my understanding and You know, I started small with one client and then two clients and then three and then all of a sudden You know, you got to start keeping, you know, records of accounting records and this and that and before long I realized oh, I I'm running a business but it wasn't my first intent and You know, that's really the first thing that springs to mind as the first Insight I had about having a profitable sustainable business, which is to keep serving your people as your priority Never let that slip. Yeah, because when we stay clear that that's our that's our that's our purpose You know, we feel that inside and we we live from that understanding that we're here to serve that Relationship with our self keeps us plugged into our inspiration Keeps us kind of plugged into our power source That that flows as fresh ideas and can pick us up, you know, when we feel that, you know Running the business or how are going to move this forward we have self-doubt that that a connection to our inspiration will pick us up and keep showing the way forward and That that way of being in in business as well as being in life, of course Is nothing about a system. It's not about how to create a business using a system It's allowing inspiration to guide you every step of the way and You know, I've had a few detours, you know myself into business systems So I have learned about that side of business and so my second Insight around business is that There are hundreds and hundreds of systems for creating a business and for rolling a what might start out as a person to person business online to reach more people and and Unfortunately We live in a world particularly in I think it's pretty much globally now in the business world where I Regarded as mostly toxic the business practices the ways of, you know Generating clients through systems and processes It's where profit is the primary motivator and and goal if you like and Customers and clients come second or even further back than that in the line and whilst it's true that systems to to Maximize technology to Draw clients in to a business system like that can work. I Found and I think this is true for any heart-centered business practitioner business owner who is essentially Intuitively in an understanding that they're here to serve is that those systems Just didn't feel right to me Kind of I started to feel kind of sick, you know getting involved in programs that taught like that And it was instructive to get involved in programs that have profit profit even though they might have said we have your clients, you know Primary behind the scenes it was about profit It was instructive to kind of go if you like on into the dark side a little bit of business practices to get a bit street wise about the unhealthy business practices there are and so The remedy to that is to stay true to your heart to Follow that guidance even if it means like it did in my case pulling out of a Program I had paid for and committed to ahead of its finish because I knew it was not aligned with what I was really about and Our heart won't let us down because that's a compass and that will keep us in our integrity and help us to create a business Using some of the very same tools and technologies that the profit-making businesses are using But the use of those tools will be all about serving more And serving more effectively So then then our business becomes sustainable because we're not being worn out and you know in some cases feeling Overwhelmed and sick by the tools and technologies we're using because the use of them is in alignment with with the objective and the primary Interest we just assert Beautifully said beautifully said I hope those of you watching this will Wine this in and Listen to that watch that again to get back into the heart of why we're doing this and how we can do it so The question for you here regarding this is how would you encourage or advise the business owner who Wants to serve as the primary intention wants to give and and heal and Yet they are worried about the material, you know, and You and I am sure we've experienced that In some time in our business journey And some people might be there right now So how would what would I mean? Yes, we can talk about all the pragmatics of what do you do? Financially to make you to make that work, but let's talk about the emotions. How do we continue? To keep returning I guess to the heart when And this is not just true in business, but just in any relationships, right when the material Is calling out for it for attention The material George meaning that the material that we're here to share or no, no, I'm just talking about the The financial needs let's say, you know, it's like, oh, I got to make money. I can't be thinking Material I got it about the the service right now. I just have to out to get people to buy I have to do whatever is necessary. Yeah persuade them to manipulate them Which is the system you're talking about, right, right? How do we how do we? Yeah, how do we shut those that it's a temptation It's just because a spiritual temptation to say well, this is the easy path It's that we can get people to give things to us in ways that we maybe we wish we wouldn't we wouldn't have to but it works Yeah, well, I think the First thing that springs to mind is is is perhaps is a bit easier for someone just starting out in In their business Because I would say I say to people who are just starting out, you know, keep your day job You know keep your day job, you know start saving to create a cushion and then and then drop your day job to part-time When you know it's ready when you're ready to start to straddle that that transition between employment to self-employment Because then it sort of staves off that the insecurity thoughts about paying the mortgage and the bills because there's a steady income coming in Okay, and you start to learn the systems in your business and often for me. I mean literally it was it was it was learning some financial Knowledge I just didn't know how money really worked, you know tax taxes and calculating percentages for this and that Financial literacy is part of owning your business doesn't need to be elaborate and you can have someone else do it for you But so that that's one thing when you're starting out, which is you know, keep your day job for a while Once you go, you know, you jump in with two feet and you let the day job go that that's where I mean, I I certainly felt a very Unexpected transition that was a shock get like jumping in a cold pool of water My fear Really increased, you know, I mean I've already been been part time in my business had clients coming saw how money came as part of serving Yeah, but suddenly it was all on the business. Yeah, it all seemed up to me Yeah, and that is a that's when your insecurity thoughts are starting to get hold It's all on me. I've got to make this happen. Yeah, I've got to do the right thing I've got to get the next client I've got to keep them engaged because only then will the money come in now. That's a slippery slope because We start losing our connection With the inspiration that is behind our business That gave us the inspiration to move into this field of work in the first place Most practitioners can can find that connection in their client work time It's when they can their thoughts about the mortgage to go us to the side because they remember The practice to remember is what they really hear for and they enjoy that time But let's see let's understand what's happening there It's not that I'm good in my client sessions, but not good keeping my business structures going. It's not that at all We feel that well-being we feel that alignment in this when we're connected to our inspiration So if we can So when I felt that fear ratcheted up in me when I went full-time in my business What came to me was it was an intuition that I really did need to learn some nuts and bolts around business structures Around how to keep an account of money coming in and money going out It was as basic as that that just happened to be me And so I and as often happens when when we tune in to What our inspiration is telling is our guidance then within a few days or weeks of months the perfect kind of teacher comes along and Lo and behold this weekend course presented itself and I could get to and it was all about the nuts and bolts and have an understanding of money and also doing some inner inner work to kind of release the fear thoughts about money and So I jumped jumped on that because I knew I needed it So I suppose I'd say be prepared to grow a growth that is not only learning the tools and technologists for your business but a level of understanding about the fact that Our business success is not all on us our business success comes by staying connected to our inspiration and You know, we're different people might have different ways of Cultivating that connection practice meditation But whatever it is is to get interested in that direction Even if it's just in remembering the first instance where you knew That you have something valuable to offer and share and it was helpful to people just connecting with that original time of insight can be enough and That stead is the system it calms the nervous system down start to take care of the emotional life that has been stirred up because it's an alignment that is is consistent and steady and It feels secure when we're in that alignment. So even if we're not making enough money in that moment if we're inner feeling of security Then we stay connected to inspiration that will deliver the next idea and the next client Beautifully said beautifully said I've seen that to be true In my own business as well. It's when there are problems They are problems because it's not obvious to us what the solution is in the moment. That's why we call them a problem but It always surprises us when a solution presents itself Oftentimes it's like, well, why didn't I think of this before? Because well, we weren't in the moment of inspiration and sometimes it just takes some time You know for the for the problem to or the solution to to become ripe enough to present itself So I'd love to spend a few minutes Just having you share more about the kind of healing and transformation side of things and you can you can take it however, what whatever direction you want, but I just wanted to give the audience a taste of some of the merit some of the the message that you share There's there's way more than we can delve into in a few minutes because of all of the experience you've had but What what what's something that you find yourself? Sharing with your audience or your clients sometimes. What's just one one tidbit you can Sure. Yeah Well, really, so I'm offering a reflection right now, which is that You've probably noticed that there are hundreds if not thousands of self-help tools techniques and processes hundreds if not thousands of medications and supplements and You know treatment approaches to disease and many of them claim to be the one that is going to work Gonna help it heal your body cure it and shift just depression or anxiety Well, if that was the case if if the ones that claimed and on all the others really were the one then Why are there so many other new tools and techniques and processes? so just a reflection that No, there's been no invention yet of the tool or technical medication that works for everybody And you think that that that would be created by now since we're so smart so if so that what that tells me is that It's not the tool technique exercise medication or supplements that that Generates healing and Transformation there must be something Else more fundamental going on. We do know that healing happens and transformation happens. Yes. We know that's a fact But if it was the tool and technique then that tool and technique would work for everyone Because we're all human beings. We're all constituted, you know in the same way we all have blood We all have you know nervous system this and that so there's something else going on that is more and comes before The tool technique and process that is actually the the source of the transformation Yeah, and if I can jump in real some people say well the tool technique works for certain types of people Right who may have certain a certain birth chart or a certain, you know age range or a certain problem But yet That same tool technique that's supposed to work for everybody in that category doesn't work for everybody in that category also Exactly, so it's that it's that how whatever level you want to go to Yeah, and work for everybody that it's supposed to work for no So that that leaves us, you know in a space of and in rather than in a space of despair Where that leaves us in the place that is is to get curious so because we do know Change transformation of healing happens. What's really so what's going on there? Yeah, get interested there. You see what's the secret here and for me all healing all transformation Comes about as a shift in consciousness A shift in consciousness as you said earlier George when a shift in consciousness comes then the solution comes to us That we couldn't see before So that's and that's the same for everybody who experiences a shift in their emotional Mental state there a shift in their physical well-being. It's a it's a shift in consciousness first and foremost So that's the understanding I bring in for people So perhaps differently even to how I worked more certainly 15 years ago. I think really my work has been refining it in past five or six years It's really become very very very clear about it's a shift in consciousness that heals and transforms So whereas I used to selectively teach a Process that I had found very helpful. I've even dropped teaching that particular process So now I don't offer any tools techniques or exercises for changing a person's mental state emotional state or physical state What I offer is an understanding That healing transformation comes from a shift in consciousness and how to connect with that shift in consciousness through having a personal insight about the fact of Consciousness being a healing intelligence that that shift in that insight about the the Intelligence that we are That is called consciousness is a healing agent Begins to open up an understanding about how our mind and body really work and how life really works So Because the energy we are the consciousness we are another word I use for consciousness is energy the life energy that we are That energy never gets sick That energy never gets bent out of shape by this or that It's the expression is it's perfectly whole and complete Perfectly whole and complete. So the energy we are Can reveal itself as spontaneous healing. I've seen it happen with cancer tumours Spontaneous healing that the medical profession are not interested in because they can't explain it under their paradigm as Spontaneous or very rapid disappearance of someone's 16 year depression Consciousness jumps the parameters of time and space and there can be spontaneous rapid healing by a shift in consciousness Because the energy of that that is that gets connected with is perfectly whole and complete and That perfection or wholeness expresses itself as increased well-being and sometimes spontaneous miracles in healing the body And I'll just say also sometimes it could be spontaneous Benefits in other areas of life, too Whether it's in one's business. I've heard about why did suddenly these clients all show up, you know new clients I'll show up. It is the shift of consciousness is Foundational like you said, it's powerful. We have just a few minutes left and I want to make sure you're Those of you who are watching this get more. How do we how do we engage more with you Fiona? You have various offerings. Maybe you can share share some of those with us here Well, the shortcut is to go to my website for your own a more calm and you'll see various offerings groups and There's a sign up for my newsletter To get a quick kind of sample of my work if you've got a pressing problem such as it's a decision to make or a treatment choice to make Then I have a I think it's a four-hour package over the course of that six weeks and you can use the time up as you like Let's call breakthrough that for more profound Transformation where you really want to track the entire journey of how your emotional or physical problem is actually an invitation in the catalyst To shift your whole not just your mind your body into a new level of well-being, but your entire life as you say George It's not exclusive to body and mind it the shifting consciousness Reveals a whole new level of life. Then I have a three or six month one-on-one mentoring An intensive which is a personal retreat with me here in Oregon Gives that six month experience condenses it into three days and that is a profound Moment where you walk in as one person or leave as another Kind of literary because your consciousness suits And later this year, I'm excited to be working on now a program I've long been wanting to offer out and now feel ready to offer more because of what I've seen with individual clients, which is Be on broken an online program to heal cancer from the inside out and a shift in consciousness. So stay tuned for that Yeah, fantastic. I'm excited about that too. So wonderful.
