I was so worried about coming back here to Australia but it has been lovely so far. Stepping into an Australian summer was the best thing I could have done to get a break from the cold Andes in Peru, with the warm and sometimes the hot weather, it feels so inviting to be here.

After a few days of adjusting to the time difference and basically getting over my jet lag, I went back to my intention of why Im here and so yesterday began my journey with healing. The first professional healer I saw was my long time Chinese Herbalist and doctor that Ive been seeing regularly since I was about eight years old. Ive witnessed this man grow and develop spiritually over the years, from a regular GP and herbalist in the 90s to now a very spiritual and quite enlightened individual. One of my favorite things about him is that you get the truth holistically when you get a consultation. So I went in there yesterday assuming that I was just going in to fix my physical body of all the little things that have been not functioning so well, but of course he pulls in the emotional connection straight away. And it was quite interesting.

As you probably know if youre a regular reader of this blog, Ive been dealing with months of chronic throat and ear infections which Ive assumed have been linked to mono (or glandular fever). I havent officially been tested in Peru which is one thing Ive wanted to do here, in fact I just gave blood this morning to have my official test. But walking into his office yesterday with the assumption that my throat problems had cleared up, I was surprised to find that he said my throat was in fact still infected and swollen and that would explain the chronic fatigue and general feeling of being off balance that Ive been feeling. So being a doctor AND a herbalist he gave me a course of antibiotics (which Im very reluctant to put into my body) and a large amount of Chinese Herbs to take and told me that the herbs were the most important thing because theyll keep working on the root cause even after the infection has gone.

Root cause yes .. thats often not what Western medicine deals with. My herbalist knows that Ive been living in Peru and doing a lot of shamanic healing. In fact he was quite proud and impressed by it which is a normal reaction from someone who has known me inside and out from when I was a child. But he said the problem was that I was releasing stored emotions too quickly. He said that I have a lot of fire in my belly (hes been saying that I have too much fire EVERY single time Ive seen him over the years) from stored up fear and anger .. and that with the shamanic work Im releasing it faster than my physical body is comfortable with. So these stored emotions are rising up and getting a little lodged in my throat on the way out causing the fire and the burn to get stuck there and create an infection from all of the heat. This made a lot of sense to me because Ive been working a lot recently with releasing my anger in a healthy way in addition to the fear and stuff that comes out during my shamanic medicine ceremonies in Peru.

Of course I realize that this is just another theory on top of the few that I already have for the reason as to why Im getting sick so much but Im going to keep trying to work on these ideas until I find the one that actually does work to fix me up. I havent had a full blown bed ridden infection since the last one over Christmas, but my tonsils have been permanently swollen ever since and I do get the occasional slight pain and slight tonsil pus (yes lovely I know). And Im very ready to get rid of it.

Being in Australia has been very physically healing. It has been a blessing to be able to access contemporary and good quality medical and alternative practices. It has also been a blessing to be exposed to so much fresh organic foods and clean and pure energy in nature. There is something very special about the nature here .. I think it has something to do with the low population we have for such a giant country. Its as though our areas that are a little removed from urban environments still hold that special little frequency of happiness and bliss which I associate with the plants and the trees being happy. I often feel it very strongly in the rainforest but since Ive been back I feel it very strongly at the beach. There is something so lovely about laying on the sand and swimming in the ocean of a beach that holds a frequency of such a young, happy and healthy energy. Its like wrapping yourself up in a bundle of youth and breathing in health. Oh gosh, I really am so blessed and proud to come from this amazing country!

I have another three or so weeks here before I leave Ive booked my ticket back for after the first week of March and Im going to squish as much gentle healing as I can in before then to see how far this transformation can go. Everyone in Peru talks about taking their light from Peru back with them to their home countries and sharing it with others .. but Im talking about doing the opposite. Im taking some of this beautiful healing energy from here that Ive newly discovered and Im taking it back to Peru to share with my family over there. And if I can heal up my physical problems within the time that Im here, well then that will just validate yet again that Australia is a lot more awesome than I thought it was!!! Wish me and my health luck.
