I had been thinking about life journeys lately as I made the return to Australia from Okinawa. Although it felt like I was returning to the same place where I grew up, I knew that life was not going to be the same. The year away from home was a part of the process of life, to transform who I was and provide me with valuable experiences that I could share with those in Australia.
Before leaving for Okinawa in 2012, I was carrying with me an urgency to hide some aspects of myself from people in the general public, like say the feeling of holding my Spiritual Self back from family and co-workers at school. However, when I arrived in Okinawa, it was like I could really just be myself and be honoured and accepted as I was. I had a discussion about this with my friend Lucy. She put it really well into words and told me that "sometimes we have to get away from home for a while to feel at home with ourselves."

Reflecting upon this, it was like I felt the need to do some soul searching and needed to be away from those whom I'd grown up around and thought they knew me best. Perhaps some of it came down to the need for changes to occur on the inside and the outside. Being away from Australia gave me that opportunity, and now I am back to claim and celebrate all that I am and all that I have.
What I really enjoyed about being able to claim my individuality, was the opportunity to teach in a school that was very open-minded and gave me a lot of freedom in terms of my curriculum. This was the perfect opportunity to incorporate my own experiences with the younger generations of people.

I taught English to a Middle School class at my school. Each morning in class, I would meditate with them, using sound, crystals, and visualisation, and I used this as stimulus to develop their creativity, imagination, self-expression, verbalisation, and writing. I was so delighted that they took it on board so easily and openly, and I must say they have improved quite a lot in their English skill.
One of my students shared this with her Mother, and you know what? As a teacher, the most humbling and satisfying thing to hear and gives me the feeling that I have done my job right, is when a parent says to me that they "wished they could be a part of my class".
Thanks Vibhuti! Please join my class next time! :)

http://hdwallpaper.ws/31907/ Another time, we were watching an Anime called "Kiki's Delivery Service", which is about a teenage witch who needs to find her place in the world. This led us to explore the history of witches and debunk the myths around them.
When we were analysing scenes from the film, there was a scene in the film where the cat could understand the communications going on with the other animals. I asked my students how they knew this, and this led into the topic of mind to mind communication. This led into the concept of telepathy and I happened to use a pointed Clear Quartz Record-Keeper Crystal on me that day. So from talking about telepathy, I taught my students a simple telepathy exercise, which they excelled at and really enjoyed.

To me, the satisfaction is not about how many kids do well in their exams or get the best report cards, but it is the fact that hearts, minds, and lives can be changed just by your presence and our future generations can be inspired. My students are my teachers and I'll always be grateful for having them in my life. As I am reminded to celebrate being myself, I have returned to Australia with a sense of comfort, ownership, and respect for who I am as a Clairvoyant Healer and a Teacher of people of all ages.

Each of us has a unique story to tell. We have all walked our individual journeys and we have all experienced something unique in our lives that only we will ever face. No two life journeys are the same, and we are all here to teach and learn from each other. It is the differences in our lives that add so much value to the experience that we have of life in our own individuality and when sharing with others.
Because we all have our own pasts and backgrounds, we all carry something that represents us, to the places and situations that we find ourselves in during our lifetimes. Some of us are born knowing what we are here to do, while for others, it takes them days, weeks, months, or years to find out what this purpose is. However long, it matters not, for at the end of the day, these experiences make the journey and give the person something special to learn from life and to teach to the world around them.
