“My Dyslexia makes routine incredibly difficult… You must capture the IMAGINATION!” Michaela Daystar

"Spiritual teacher Michaela Daystar,
her experience growing up HSP,
finding spiritual connection and building
her spirituality off of life’s difficulty.

In this podcast we hear from neuro-
divergent people like us who have
created a spiritual way of life that
really helps them thrive and ultimately
to give the gifts of their wild heart to
the world"

Holy s**t, about to release the first podcast episode

hahaha a friend sent me this - I forget sometimes people are watching me on TV these days hahaha 😅😆🤞

Are you sensitive✨🍁🌳 neurodivergent 🧠🌈🫣✨ and need more spoons? Meet me in the Bayswater studio or online
🥄🥄🥄🥄
❤️❤️❤️❤️

So you’re wild hearted neurodivergent, sensitive being, on a journey to change your life through spiritual practice?
So that you can live your life purpose with the time that you have?
By embodying your feelings, embracing your spirituality and becoming your authentic self?
Well, what if you from 10 years into the future, could come back to you now and tell you things that WOULD REALLY HELP on this journey?
AND INSPIRE YOU to keep going?
And help you not feel so alone in your experience?
Well... I don’t have YOUR future self here…
BUT
But I did interview 5 wild hearted, neurodivergent sensitive people who HAVE already done what you have set out to do. These are people like us, Dyslexic, Autistic, ADHD, OCD who are way down the journey already.
Wanna hear their stories?

Are you going through anxiety right now like me? Here are some cool rocks, trees, mushrooms and moss for u ❤️🙏🙇🏽‍♀️
It's tough going through anxiety.
I hope this helps you settle for even a moment.
And know that the anxiety will pass eventually and you'll be calm again 💆🏻‍♀️🫶🏻
MWAH 🌈

One of the toughest experiences of being a neurodivergent, highly sensitive autistic person with a strong spiritual awareness....

Feeling alone in this experience.
Feeling weird.
Not being able to share this experience with anyone
Feeling invalid.

It hurts right in the heart.
Because, this experience of the unseen... it's so just beautiful. It has all meaning that we search for in our lives, but don't find in the material world.

It's like going to the most wonderful gallery of the most beautiful art, by yourself and never getting to talk about that with anyone, because they don't even know the gallery is there.
And if you told them, they would never believe you.

So, you tuck those feelings inside and try and act `normal'.
You have to to survive in the world. At least that's how it seems.

And every day, without this shared experience, you grow a little more distant.
Even the idea of returning to the gallery, can be painful.

So it's really important, I've found, to find kinship in this experience. Someone who gets you. Who can listen to you and nod without judgement.
Someone who loves trees and rocks and hears the music of the changing seasons in their blood and bones.
Someone who is on a spiritual path into the unseen like you too.

This is a true gift, to have a travelling companion to reexperience this wondrous gallery of the most beautiful art, that gives us a path, right back to our heart.

I'd love to hold your hand, and for you to hold my hand in this tiny community for wild hearted sensitive people.

Will I see you there?

Free Your Wild Heart
https://www.facebook.com/groups/freeyourwildheart/

Opinions, at the root of them are feelings. The need to be heard.
To be heard, truly heard, is what our hearts crave.
It's hard to feel opinions that rub against our own. It can really get inside us. Because it's touching something important to us, our feeling of self....
Those of us that are skilled, really pushed and pulled, to be healers, to heal ourselves, can do so much work inside, that we're able to hold our own feelings in our awareness, and to hear, really hear others.
We're able to hold a really deep void of listening, so empty it's like velvet to the soul.
In that space, the opinions are merely a pathway through the wild woods, back to the feelings, back to the heart.
Back to Love
It's not that we have to do this.
It's just that it's a really nice way to spend some life energy.
So you end up holding two candle flames side by side in the enveloping darkness of the cave of creation.
Opening to the eternity of our hearts.
Even just for a time
Here is true peace

Yay, this is awesome! So pleased! 11 new subscribes in the last week 😊🌈✨
I hope I can uplift you a bit or inspire or give you some ideas if that's what you need, my wild hearted wonder-unicorn!🦄
If you know anyone who should be here too please, let them know too! MWAH
🦄🦄🦄✨✨✨

Happy IDAHOBIT 🌈 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ a world free of trans and homophobia is one that’s A LOT closer to true peace and A LOT safer for everyone

Make that `grateful for 5 more' ☺️

An unfortunate automatic transcript in today's short video about encouraging daily meditation.... 😆😅😂
​
Joshin Kokyu Ho is a beautiful meditation originating in Japanese Buddhism, focused on opening up the capacity of our gut to allow us to emotionally regulate... and a little more than that.
​
If you're interested in trying it pop you name below, I'm releasing a video soon on it!

Skills swap time!
ARE YOU AN AVID GARDENER?
Are you Reiki curious for self healing and meditation?
Do you suffer from anxiety and overwhelm?

I'm a really great Reiki teacher in the Japanese tradition BUT I'm really 💩 at regular garden maintenance! 😂
(on account of being neurodivergent and fitting like a square peg into this round holed world hahaha)

So if you'd like to chat about swapping YOUR gardening skills, for my Reiki training or treatments, then pop a comment below!

I'm located in Croydon, Melbourne's outer east.

If you're neurospicy, sensitive and spiritual and just want to connect, please do! 🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨

shining like the sun
the great cosmic dancer
vibrates every living being
every cell, every particle
flashing like rotoscope
the intimate embrace
of our own bright light
all of creation
in her mind
the great joy

Not that we needed proof, but here’s my badge 🤣 🦄

I'd love you to have this recording - 30 minutes of my soothing voice, guiding you through a self love exercise, where you surround yourself in the highest love 😁🥰😊
Pop a comment down below and I'll share the link - relish at your leisure 😊

a charged particle
ghost energy flitting merrily
any single point in the universe
all at once
impossible to freeze
even the frozen is alive
fading into fire
back to
original mind
of joyful ease

Our `natural' state is a goddam mess hahaha
If our thoughts are going round and round without pause and we're acting in a way that seems almost prerecorded, we're not living authentically.
In fact this pattern can work ok when we've got enough energy and sleep, but take those things away, add more stress and we can easily spiral in a direction that is not where we want to be.
Suddenly, we're overwhelmed.
We could wait for the next holiday, the next weekend or the next time we get sick, to break ourselves out of the spin.

Or we could try a method that's been used for thousands of years.
You see our `natural' state, is a mess to be honest. If we leave ourselves in our `natural' way of thinking and being, our garden will overgrow. Our surface appearance might be `together', but underneath we're piloting a little tugboat on rough seas trying to find land, hoping the seas don't get too rough.
Good sleep isn't enough on its own, good eating and exercise aren't enough to liberate our mind - BUT of course these things are vital.
If we never investigate our own internal world, the place we spend ALLLLL our time... well um isn't that a bit of a loss? Like spending all our days literally never discovering what is possible inside. Why do we spend so much time learning about SO MANY things in the world, BUT NEVER spend time learning about the most important thing - OUR OWN INTERIOR WORLD?!

What is the solution?
The solution is this - start a simple practice. Do a practice. The practice could be this - I will focus on all the things I am grateful for. OR I will focus on breathing into my diaphragm. OR I will sit quietly with my thoughts in a non-judgemental manner.
Do this thing each day for 5 minutes. If you can't do it for 5 minutes because you're too tired, then simply go through the motions of setting up for the practice, sit for one moment, then finish - by that way you're telling you're brain `this is important'. You're creating a pattern.Then try this for long enough to see a result - 4 to 6 weeks, 5 minutes a day. If you feel like going longer then do so, but otherwise do it for 5 minutes minimum.
Then see the difference. See what you get.EXPERIMENT! Trust me that this experimentation might seem small, but when we do this, we are saying `I AM HERE NOW, I AM IMPORTANT, MY HAPPINESS AND MY AUTHENTICITY ARE IMPORTANT' When the 4 to 6 weeks is up you have a choice - stop or continue.
Whichever one you choose is ok, because you have done a thing. You have developed experience. You have seen some result.You cannot decide to do a meditation practice for the rest of your life! It's impossible. BUT you can decide to do it for foreseeable amount of time. AND by doing this we start to get our inner garden tidier.
I challenge you to try it!
And I am here for you, and I have an upcoming event designed for you.
Wild Spirit Woman is here for you.
Isn't it time to free your wild heart?

Just got back from Bayswater library ‘Reiki With Sally’ talk. I love it. ❤️🌈✨ I love this practice and I feel humbled to be able to share it. We had a lovely Japanese Australian woman there and apparently I pronounced my Japanese well! Hahaha which is great because it was on my mind hahaha 😂

Having a daily practice is what has changed my life the most. ✨

Bringing the sacred into each day, setting my intention about how I want to behave as a human and exercising gratitude is rewiring me from feeling overwhelmed and disconnected to resourced, stable, resilient, still and aware of my connection with everything. 🫶

Each day is all we have. We have to make the most of what we have.😊

It’s really important to find the practice that suits your individual needs and aspirations and inspirations. And to find a practice that is not just about coping in the world but rather, thriving and even reshaping. 🙇‍♀️

If you think you want to try creating a spiritual/ meditation practice that suits you or you want help expanding or getting more out of an existing practice, please let me know by commenting below. I am running a pilot program in May, for this very purpose!

Don’t save yourself for a rainy day ❤️ ☔️

Free Your Wild Heart with Sally Carmichael - that's me! Are we really overwhelmed because we don't have enough time and too many things to do..... or is there something else going on here?

Could it be that our experience of time is actually emotional? And if we were able to give more space to our emotions... well could our experience of being overwhelmed change?

(Well the answer is yes of course! Come see why)

Overwhelmed? Exhausted? BUT YOU'RE TIMELORD...?! Are we really overwhelmed because we don't have enough time and too many things to do..... or is there something else going on here?Could it be that our expe...

My name is Sally and once up on a time I found it very difficult to thrive in this constricting world. I was burnt out and thought it was normal. I was suppressing my beautiful deep human qualities to fit in and not be `too’ weird. I was stuck in a loop, making a living but not living. Life was passing me by and I was overwhelmed.

When we care very deeply about the world, and nature and our very existence we have a problem because our modern culture does not possess the pathways to support our deeper needs. So we have to build them! We have to return to them.

So please enjoy the warmth of this free healing group, a little gift paid forward to the community.

Nurturing Our Wild Hearts - 5pm PST/12pm AEDT 2nd Sun/Mon of Month If life is restricting and overwhelming you, if you feel out of place... come reinvigorate your powerful heart! 2nd Sunday of the Month

Diary note to self hahaha

I help SPICY heart shaped people who feel constrained by the world to free their hearts and be real.
Like REALLY REAL! 😅😂

Paw paw is one of my joys, it’s even on my joy list. As is Japanese alt rock. Both of which I am currently enjoying!

This resonates for me.

In traditional Reiki there are no chakra balances, no concerns for blockages or openings. We simply set the intention that we will receive what it is that WE NEED to receive at that time.In that way we are working with the hands of creation, helping in the unfolding nature of this precious existence.

No more no less.It can be difficult for a modern western mind that wishes to `DO' something, to be comfortable trusting the nature of the body-mind.

THE HEART OF LOVE

Do not try to open your heart.
Never tell a closed heart it must be more “open”.

It will shut more tightly
to protect itself,
feeling your resistance.

This is the supreme intelligence of the heart:

A heart unfurls only when conditions
are right.
Your demand for openness
invites closure…

Instead…
Bow to the heart…
If it is closed, let it be closed…

Trust that when the heart is ready,
it will open…

There is no rush for the heart…

Trust the opening and the closing,
the expansion and contraction.

This is the heart’s way of breathing,
the beautiful fragility of being human,
all held in the most perfect
Love…

Sink more deeply into the
unchanging vastness at
the core of your being.

Rediscover the heart of who you truly are,
beyond the mask,
behind the carefully constructed facades,
the infinitely creative defences…

Simply fall into the Heart of Love,
your very nature.

- Jeff Foster

Poor guy 😅

The TGA has approved the use of psychedelic medicine in Australia by psychiatrist prescription for two special cases.

This is such a great move forward. I hope for people with treatment resistant depression this provides some healing or at least improved life. And for people who are undergoing the greatest transition of death I truly hope this brings you relief, freedom, connection
