ESP Souls

Some people have a LOT of opinions. And they certainly like to share them (!!) - irrespective of how helpful (or not), how respectful (or not), or just plain hurtful they are. It's one thing to do 'the work' and to pursue a life that is wildly true to you... it's a whole other thing having to navigate it within the world of opinionated people.

One of my favourites, Brene, refers to the Roosevelt speech about the man in the arena. But when it comes to guiding friends, clients, (and myself!) through this stuff, I love this part: "It's not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better."

(The speech goes on to describe the courage and the vulnerability of the man in the arena.)

But the critic is the one sitting in the stands - in the cheap seats - with popcorn, throwing taunts and judgment. It may be masked as "feedback" but, unless they're in the arena with you, unless the life they're living is one you respect, admire, or aspire to, then their feedback is not welcome. It is just unwanted opinions.

So, if you find yourself wobbled by some opinions or some "feedback" from those around you, ask yourself if it's coming from the cheap seats or from the arena. And then proceed accordingly.

THERAPY SERIES: There are a number of incredible therapies available to support you on your healing journey. And I love that each one can offer different things to different people. I wanted to explore some modalities to remove some of the uncertainty that surrounds seeking counselling and to share an overview of some of the powerful techniques we can utilise together.

Counselling is no longer just learning to master your thoughts.

And kicking it off is one of my favourites: Gestalt therapy. It keeps you focused on the present and is a transformative approach that can develop your self-awareness to a whole new level.

Whether your past is messing up your present, or you’re seeking greater clarity in your life, Gestalt therapy has some powerful tools on offer.

Feeling like your world’s been turned upside down? Or maybe you’re feeling unsettled and unfulfilled? Holistic counselling is amazing at supporting you to create the next evolution of your life. One that feels really good. ✨

Meditation is increasingly being recognised as an incredible way to support your mental health.

But there's so much more to it than that.

As the scientific world catches up with what traditional medicine knows to be true, we are now seeing measured effects, not only in the mind but in the body, too.

In such a fast-paced life, sitting still, in silence, quietening the mind is a practice that alludes many.

The skill to be able to sit in nothing and allow your brain waves to slow takes time, practice, and courage to not be distracted by your thoughts.

Have vou noticed any specific benefits from vour meditation practice?

Are you trying to figure out your life direction? Unsure of your next step?

Having a deep sense of knowing your true life path is so powerful which is exactly why I became a holistic counsellor.

To support those who feel lost, stuck, and uncertain to gain clarity and connection with their intuition.

To know your next right step.

To get clear on your path in life.

With all of the benefits of talk therapy and spiritual modalities - it is absolutely the best of both worlds 💫

I would be honoured to work with you as you pave your new way forward.

How often do you get stuck, trying to figure out what the “right” decision is?

Especially if you tend to have some perfectionism pop up its head!

But the best decision is the ‘right’ one, the second best is the ‘wrong’ one, and indeed the last is no decision at all.

What are you putting off doing for fear of making the ‘wrong’ decision when, actually, not doing anything is holding you back?

Can you trust that even if you make the ‘wrong’ decision you’ll figure it out? And it could perhaps lead to something even more magical than you had planned?

There is something thrilling about the thought of making life up as you go along.

Also, terrifying.

Because it means giving up control. Surrendering to the universe. Being vulnerable to the current of life.

However, in my experience, the universe has a plan for your life way more incredible that you could possibly plan for yourself. Except, you need to loosen your grip in order for it to happen.

Do you trust yourself enough to make it up as you go along? Set goals, have dreams, get clear on what you want, sure. But get ready to pivot along the way if you want the most magical adventure for your one precious life.

Choosing to create a life more in alignment with your true self can be tricky at the beginning, when we're so used to being told what a "good life" looks like. Letting that go is an unlearning process.

Tuning in to your intuition can take time.

Learning what the true desires of your soul are, and then courageously pursuing them with trust and intention takes practice.

In the meantime, let's recognise and celebrate the "not this". It is the first step in co-creating your most epic adventure of a life.

Do vou want to be someone who journals but writing doesn't come naturally?

Or you love journalling but are keen to try some other ways?

I'm a huge fan of journalling (and the clarity it brings!) so I've created a free ebook lovingly designed to be a resource to help you access your intuition and expand your self-awareness.

Journalling really doesn't have to be with words. Download your copy and let me know which of my five alternatives speaks to you the most.

I truly believe that we can have everything that is meant for us in this lifetime. But, as humans, we aren’t exactly designed to multitask 😅

So, life gifts us our very own seasons. Times where we get to focus on, narrow in, and really step into the fruits that are waiting for our attention.

Of course, we’ll often be pulled and distracted and guilted into trying to do everything at 100, 100% of the time. That’s the nature of the fast-paced society that we live in.

But our intuition knows. And often our manifesting gushes in, with a particular focus, when that’s where we’re being called. It’s a matter of giving ourselves permission to be “in it”.

Just like a chapter in the book that is our life, this too shall pass, and we will move on to what is next for us.

What season are you in right now?

Eclipse Season is almost upon us. This is bookended with the new moon (April 20, 2023 at 2:12pm AEST) and the full moon (May 6, 2023 at 3:36am AEST).

In my opinion, Eclipse Season isn’t talked about enough and it can be an intense time (!!) so scaffolding yourself with a little extra support can only be a good thing.

There’s a whole blog post up if you’d like to read more!

May this period bring you illumination, clarity, and positive change.

Happy New Year, superstars.

A little late, I know, but it’s felt like a bit of a slow start this year. Maybe you too?

Yes, according to the Gregorian calendar, Jan 1st marks the new year and we get to dream of the possibilities and the feelings we want to call in for the year ahead. But honestly, with Mercury Retrograde drawing us inward and to be contemplative (rather than active) the last few weeks, I just haven’t quite got the gear stick in drive yet…

The good news is that Jan 1st isn’t the only ‘new year’ to work with! Tomorrow marks the Lunar New Year with the new moon in Aquarius peaking at 7:53am AEDT and the Human Design (or ‘Rave’) New Year kicks off tomorrow also, at 5:38pm AEDT as the sun transitions into Gate 41.

Also, Mercury went direct a couple of days ago so hopefully we should start to see a little more clearly soon! (And hopefully any tech issues sort themselves out 😬)

If all of that seems like a bunch of jumbly words (!!), just know that energetically we’re still shifting into new year vibes so if you haven’t found your groove yet, you’re not alone ✨

May your 2023 be magical xx

Happy New Moon and Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

This year my tree looks a little different. Simple and small and low key. I’ve done the tree with all the trimmings, swimming in a sea of gifts, and absolutely loved it. I’ve done the quiet, slow, solo Christmas and felt so much peace. I’ve done the breakfast at one place, lunch at another, and the big shindig to follow, creating some very special moments and fond memories.

All have been beautiful.

I made it my priority to choose people over presents, memories over expectations, and doing what feels good instead of what feels obligated.

I love that Christmas can look different each year. Whatever it needs to be for that day, in that chapter of my life.

It can be a difficult time, full of pressure to show up in a certain way, for everyone, with everything.

But as we plant the seeds of our desires under this new moon, consider how you want to feel this Christmas and each year to follow. It’s a special time of year and we get to create exactly what that looks like for our own life, on our own terms.

May yours be exactly what your soul needs x

Eclipse season is a really powerful time to get stuck into some journaling practices, examine what’s beneath the surface, and work through what’s coming up from your subconscious.

Remember: journaling doesn’t have to be pen and paper. It doesn’t even have to be words.

The other day I shared on my stories about the everyday, ordinary courage it took for me to go solo to a packed out wool shed event in town and I thought I’d share with you here in case you missed it since it sparked some beautiful conversation in my inbox.

We often focus on the big courage - moving to a new place, ending a relationship, going all in - because they tend to be defining moments. Times we look back on and admire our bravery and can distinctly see the growth that resulted because of it.

But I think that a brave life requires the everyday courage too and just maybe those moments have a greater impact (on ourselves and on those around us) than we think.

“How you spend your days is how you spend your life.” Annie Dillard

So, a little something to reflect on for your Wednesday evening… What does ordinary courage look like for you? Is it holding firm on a boundary? Hitting send on a vulnerable email? Walking into a counselling session? Having a difficult conversation?

Whatever is your everyday brave moment today, tomorrow, forever - keep chasing them. And if you’d like to be witnessed in your courage, my inbox is always open.

You know that Mercury retrograde is here when, at country music night, all of the mics and sound equipment had issues!

As the energy around communication and technology slows over this three-week period, it’s an opportunity to stop hustling forward and take time to review. Take a deep breath and go introspective. Slow down and reflect.

Also, read contracts, save your work (just keep clicking save 😅), be patient with technology and any delays, and don’t go talking to your exes xx

My favourite time of the month! Tonight we have our new moon in Virgo.

New moons are incredibly supportive of connecting with what we wish to manifest into our world. Set your intention, grab a journal (if that feels good to you), and feel into what you want the next month and six months to bring.

I read a version of this today and it felt important to share.

“Think you’ve failed? What if you’re just measuring too early and you’re actually in the middle of succeeding?”

We shifted into the new moon in Cancer today and, as always, now is a beautiful time to slow down and connect with your intentions and desires.

In Human Design, gate 52 is all about stillness and knowing when to move into action - how very fitting for the energy of a new moon!

Cancer is sensitive and nurturing and rules the fourth House of the home and your private life. Make space for your emotions and carve some time for you to dream about your luscious, supportive home environment and what the next evolution of that looks like.

Introducing 'Soul Sessions'...

An online spiritual health and wellbeing session offering support, guidance, and the space to come into greater alignment.

Every session uniquely blends oracle cards, clairvoyant messages, and space holding to provide whatever your soul needs in that moment.

Just as we seek support for our physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing, these sessions are specifically designed to nourish your spiritual wellbeing.

We have made it to the end of May! I don't know if there is one person I've interacted with that hasn't felt some of the intensities of May's energy. And to finish it off, we have a beautiful new moon in Gemini tonight (9:30pm AEST) to shift our perspective and start to reconnect with manifesting.

New moons are the perfect opportunity to be introspective and tune into your desires. This is the time to plant the seed (we're not taking action just yet!) and become really intentional about that which you wish to create in your reality over the next month, six months, or even twelve months.

Gemini is the perfect time to get curious! An intellectual sign that is open-minded and analytical, now is a supportive time to ask yourself some good (tough) questions.

We do still have Mercury in retrograde (and new moons aren't the time for the 'doing' yet anyway) so feel into what is coming next so that as Mercury stations direct (June 3rd) and we move into the first quarter phase, you're ready to rock and roll!

Technically, ESP Souls turned one a couple of weeks ago but this Projector was napping the day away after the big move! But it's never too late to celebrate a birthday if you ask me and rarely should they only last one day... So, to celebrate a whole lap around the sun with ESP Souls in the world, we (me and the biz) would like to be the ones to give the presents to YOU.

For anyone that purchases an 'Alchemy' reading during the month of May*, you will receive a free, personalised and intuitively chosen gift bag/box/whatever-shape-it-comes-in of beautiful items in the post. No two gifts will be the same - I will tune into your energy so it will be completely personalised. Gift certificates available.

Birth chart readings are such an affirming, permission giving, purpose clarifying, soul connective experience. If you're curious and would like more info, check out the Alchemy and FAQ pages on the website.

And if May is a super hectic month, you can schedule your session further into the year, no worries at all!

All the details are on the website (www.espsouls.com/alchemy) and I'm always here in DMs for any Q's.

Much love,
Ellee xx

Heads up, my loves, eclipse season is almost upon us. In my experience, this time can bring up some big feelings and, while my intention is not to create a self-fulfilling prophecy, I think that knowledge is power. And sometimes when the skies are making some big energetic shifts, if we're not aware, we can wonder what is wrong with us and where the bloody hell did all these big feelings come from?!

The next two weeks are not a time to manifest. Now is the time to surrender, release, and allow the lessons that will lead to our growth to just be.

Eclipse season can be pretty hectic and intense.

✨ Journal, meditate, or do whatever will help you move through your emotions
✨ Remind yourself that it's an energetic shifting and it will end soon
✨ Reach out to your support system if it starts feeling too much

If you're on my email list, I'm going to pop into your inbox with some more love and tips on navigating this energetic upgrade.

My DMs are always open xx

As the time to start a new chapter approaches, I'm navigating a whole lot of feelings and, unsurprisingly, bittersweetness is among them.

𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘮𝘪𝘹𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺/𝘴𝘢𝘥 (𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘬 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘦) 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢 𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳.

As I pack up the home I have created over the last five years, the first space I made for myself by myself, I am overcome with gratitude, excitement, anticipation, nervousness, alongside a small slither of sadness and loss. I actually wouldn't have called it bittersweet because I thought that specific emotion implied equal parts (or at least a particular measurement/recipe). But if it is simply the oscillation of the two emotions then maybe you can be more of one and less of the other depending on the moment.

Maybe some occasions will bring more sorrow, some experiences may bring less; maybe the composition of 'bittersweet' looks different every time.

Identifying our emotions and having access to language to better understand them ourselves and communicate them to others is an important part of the human experience. As we move through life with a heightened awareness of what it is that we're feeling, I believe we become better equipped to not only navigate the emotional landscape ourselves but also to support our people, too.

And personally, I think finding my abs is wayyyy harder! 😅

This little message came through on a long drive a few weeks ago. I was happily communicating with my guides, receiving messages, when the thought struck me that not many people do this... But we all can.

Whether you call them 'guides', the universe, your higher self, Spirit/God, or anything else, it's all about tuning out the world and tuning in on something greater.

Just like developing our abs takes nutrition and exercise, receiving messages from our guides takes space and trust.

I'm working with my spiritual team to create something that will help others tune in to their own guides/inner knowing, but you can ask them to send you a sign to establish your connection with them. Be open to whatever comes through and feel free to share it with me! I love this stuff 💖

PS. This Projector loves playing with ideas after 'being invited'. Send me a DM if you'd be interested in exploring this more - your invitation may be divine inspiration ✨
