I want to tell you about my recent experience with major changes in my life. This is all my own interpretation, but it might help you see similar patterns in your own life.

Numerology tells us that we go through cycles that last approximately seven years. The more we are aware of these cycles, the better we can learn from them and the richer our lives become.

I have just completed a major cycle in my life - the 7 times 7 cycle. To me this means that everything in my life has over the past six months been turned upside down in a way that makes my jaw drop, but that is a story for another day.

What I am aware of is that I am seriously entering a new life phase in my life - a far more challenging one than I have ever experienced, and it is so exciting. That is what my heart and mind says, but there is evidence to the contrary in my body. Let me explain.

In my experience each new phase conquers more fear and expands my awareness massively. With every change I become more aware of the power of the prayer of Jabez.This prayer is in the Bible in 1 Chronicles 4:10 and reads as follows: "Oh that thou wouldst bless me and enlarge my border, and that thy hand might be with me, and that thou wouldst keep me from harm harm so that it might not hurt me". Each life change enlarges my border in the sense that more false illusions are broken down and more blessings come my way. Read the book The Prayer of Jabez for a very insightful explanation of the prayer.

I regularly deal with clients that are going through these big life changes, and in the readings that I do the changes are often described as shedding a new skin. It conjures up the picture of us leaving an old, dry skin behind, but this only happens at the right time when the new skin is in place. The new skin is soft and beautiful like a new baby skin, and something to treasure and enjoy. The process of moving from one skin or phase to the new one of course leaves us vulnerable and sometimes feeling alone on our spiritual journeys, because we often forget that we have been in this space before.

Because I have started to recognise the pattern and my awareness has grown over the years, it has become easier for me to recognise the new cycle. Of course when you know you are at the bottom of a foothill, you forget to look back at the part of the mountain you have conquered, and only see the series of foothills ahead of you. It then becomes so easy to resist and to say this is too much for me, I cannot do this, I want to have a break and so on.

That is what happened to me. My mind and heart know that there are exciting times ahead, but my body decided to resist. Of course our bodies simply express the state of our souls ' like a barometer, and I had fears that I did not want to acknowledge to myself.

I am normally in very good health and have never been allergic to anything in my life. Imagine my surprise when recently I woke up one morning, covered in dark red spots, literally from head to toe. My first thought was that I had picked up some contagious disease and I was at the doctor's surgery before opening time.
