An open letter to the apparent “spiritual community”. I don’t have to be who you want me to be and I don’t have to say what you want me to say. And just because you think you know what I’m communicating, doesn’t mean that you actually in fact do. Hiding behind keyboards has given people false courage to say things that they would never say to your face. I will never be who you want me to be, and I love that.

I’m sometimes embarrassed by my own field if I’m honest.
The work itself I trust completely. But what embarrasses me is most of what gets built on top of it to sell it.

So much of it rests on a promise that someone, somewhere, holds a power, and that for a fee they can switch it on in you. Call it awakening, call it activation? Once that’s the premise, you have to keep coming back, because the next session is always the one that finally makes a difference. I don’t want any part of that.

Spinal Energetics doesn’t work that way, because it doesn’t share that view of a person. It doesn’t claim to awaken anything, because I don’t believe there’s a dormant thing in people waiting to be switched on by another. Nothing is being transmitted from me into anyone. The whole thing rests on the opposite assumption, that the body already holds exactly what it needs.

A nervous system that holds tension for years and won’t fully settle as a result, is usually doing something intelligent. At some point it found a way to manage something it couldn’t yet meet, and it has gone on managing it loyally, often way longer after the original reason has passed. The tension is a strategy and it deserves respect before it deserves changing.

So the work isn’t about forcing that open and you can’t push a system out of a pattern that was keeping it safe and expect anything good to come of it. What you can do is offer it enough safety and enough information that it becomes able to find a newer, freer strategy on its own. When that reorganisation comes, it belongs to the person. They didn’t receive it from me, they developed it. My hands are only there to help the system notice what it’s doing and sense that it could do something else.

I understand why dramatic moments and “releases” become the story for lots of people, but the release was never the point. The real work is underneath it, in the slow reorganising that you can’t capture.

Maybe that’s also why I’m careful with words. I would rather undersell this than make a claim of awakening. I’m offering a way of working with what is already there, and a respect for the fact that a person’s system knows things that I don’t.

God, I hate crying.

I thought I would be more comfortable with it by now. When I’m alone, I am. But around other people, even the people I love most, I still find myself trying to hold it back. There’s a voice that immediately appears: Don’t do it. Stop it. Keep it together. I wonder what it looks like to other people if I cry. And if the tears do come, I almost always find myself apologising for them.

Tonight, my friends wrote me letters for my birthday, and I wrote letters to them. I wanted to read my words aloud, but my throat tightened and my eyes filled. For once, I didn’t fight it. I let it happen.

Maybe tears are an invitation.

Maybe when people see us cry, they feel permission to soften too. Maybe they don’t see weakness at all. Maybe they see love. Maybe they see sincerity. Maybe they see the depth of what another human being is capable of feeling.

I spend so much time trying to stop my tears that I rarely stop to appreciate how extraordinary they are. How beautiful that something we feel so deeply inside can become visible on the outside. How remarkable that an emotion can quite literally overflow.

What more evidence do we need that our emotional lives live within the body? A thought can make our heart race. Grief can weaken our knees. Fear can tighten our chest. Love can bring tears to our eyes.

Perhaps every tear contains a little bit of both love and loss. A reflection of what matters. A tiny expression of the heart making itself known.

Sometimes I wonder what tears would look like under a microscope. Whether they hold tiny crystalline shapes, intricate and unique, like snowflakes. Or perhaps they look like miniature hearts, carrying traces of every person, memory, hope, and longing that brought them into existence.

Whatever they are, they seem far too beautiful to apologise for.

YOU DID NOT MANIFEST YOUR GRIEF.

One of the cruellest things grief does is convince us that we somehow caused what happened.

Maybe you had a bad feeling.

Maybe you worried about it.

Maybe you imagined it.

Maybe, somewhere deep inside, you sensed something you couldn’t explain.

And now, because the mind cannot tolerate randomness, it begins constructing a story.

“If I hadn’t thought it...”

“If I hadn’t said it...”

“If I had done something differently...”

“If I somehow brought this into my life...”

Grief is a relentless detective. It searches every memory, every conversation, every intuition, looking for a reason.

Not because the answer is there.

But because the alternative is far more frightening.

That terrible things can happen to good people.

That love does not guarantee protection.

That some losses arrive without our permission.

Many people carry guilt after loss and not because they are guilty.

But because guilt feels easier to hold than helplessness.

At least guilt offers the illusion of control.

If I caused it, then perhaps the world still makes sense.

But your thoughts did not create their illness.

Your anxiety did not cause the accident.

Your fear did not write their ending.

And your love certainly did not fail.

Sometimes grief asks us to stop searching for the reason and start learning how to carry the reality.

Not everything that is feared becomes true because it was feared.

Not everything that is sensed is created by the person sensing it.

And not every tragedy needs a culprit.

Sometimes the most courageous thing we can do is put down the burden of self blame and simply mourn what was loved.

This is me at my 30th birthday party, with my sister and mum. I’ve been sitting with the deeper reasons as to why I’m feeling such various and intense emotions leading to my 40th day on this planet. And it came to me, I’m looking at this old version of myself - and know deeply how she was in an ignorant and somewhat “bliss” (well at least at times), and how all I can think is “she doesn’t know what’s coming!” And I said “she” because that person no longer exists. This may seem like a simple or common image, a normal photo taken on an ordinary day, but for me it is somewhat a transcendental moment in my life, a photo that represents what sometimes feels an “unbroken” memory of what was once “me. The is a time of the “calm before the storm”, before my world and what seemed at times- my self, was completely shattered (I’m not sure that this gives it justice, it probably doesn’t). There’s a new me now, one that’s looking back on the last decade and now the unknown of the next. I know it’s a privilege, a mystery, a journey, but god im sometimes scared of the potential future pieces. So that’s why im really scared to turn 40 (well one reason). But lucky to as well ♥️

Somewhere along the way, we have turned mental health into a concept of moral achievement.
We admire the person who copes without medication and we congratulate the person who comes off it finally. I find this especially true in the spiritual world where needing medication can be ignorantly framed as “not doing enough work on yourself”. And I see it amongst people who feel extraordinarily deeply in this world- like artists, musicians, creatives or writers; who find it hard to exist in the current society.

And to be honest most of us also quietly worry about the person who needs the help, as though extensively suffering is somehow more noble and socially acceptable when endured unmedicated.

But mental health is not a character test and life is far more complex than just choice or decision of a “better”mental state.

I have spoken to people who feel ashamed they ever needed antidepressants and people who feel horribly guilty for still being on them. People whose parents have been diagnosed with cancer, people who have lost children, people who need to take care of a sick family member, people who have lost loved ones, their husbands or wives, their previous lives and versions of themselves.

I have observed people who come off them and desperately want to immediately feel happier, clearer, mentally stronger. And people who need to go back on them and feel as though they have somehow failed because what kind of person needs medication to survive the day?

The reality is often far more complex than what we give it credit for.
Taking them is not a failure…Coming off them is not a success…Going back on them is not a defeat.

None of these are not measures of strength, weakness, healing or worthiness as a human being.

They are simply decisions made within the extremes and complexity of a human life.

Can you tell that I’m happy to be back in clinic? 😃

Maybe it’s just me, but Melbourne feels angry right now and anger is often grief wearing a cloak of armour.

I can see it in the traffic, in the way I hear people speak to strangers, in their impatience and short fuse and mostly in the chronic exhaustion.
There is a subtle aggression sitting just beneath the majority of our everyday interactions. And it is palpable.

Now I definitely don’t think that people are inherently becoming worse, but I do think that many are excessively overstimulated, financially stretched, emotionally disconnected, under-slept, overworked, and carrying far more than their systems and hearts were designed to hold for this long.

And anger is often the biggest disguise for our inner grief.
It is essentially our stress and fear wearing some masked armour.

People are not just simply reacting to the moment in front of them, it is the accumulation and build up over time. The waves that keep on crashing before you get your breath.
They are reacting from months (and sometimes years) of accumulated pressure in their lives, like a kettle reaching absolute boiling point.

So maybe the most radical thing that we can do right now is remember that not everyone we meet is actually fighting us directly. Some are simply trying their hardest to just hold themselves together and survive another day.
