The mystic poet T.S. Eliot said 'we all have the experience of life but few of us get its meaning.'

 

In 1992 I was in the midst of a busy life as wife, mother and successful career woman. My position as regional manager for WordPerfect Pacific was exciting and rewarding. And then one day out of the clear blue sky tragedy struck. A famous philosopher once said the greatest tragedy in a person's life was to not have a tragedy. The gift of great emotional upheaval is to see how we have been living as the unconscious, breathing, walking dead.

 

Our process through life can be equated as unstoppable bullets hurtling towards impenetrable brick walls. The impact will leave us permanently victimised or we will have been catapulted up to a higher level of thinking.My impact came one afternoon while waiting in my car for traffic lights to change.

 

A new thought formed in my mind and in the following trillionth of a second everything made sense. The enigma of life was solved. Einstein said a new thought is the only way to change any situation.

 

There was no choice but to live vocation rather than career. I left the corporate world and spent the next decade travelling the world and studying human nature. In Switzerland a synchronistic meeting with the President of the Jungian Association paved the way for post-graduate study.

I work as a Transpersonal Coach for those who have hit the wall. Sessions begin with a Biographical Guided Tour of life. My clients find the most beneficial tools are dream analysis and the Harville Henricks model of intimate relationships and birth order. As an accredited Myers Briggs practitioner I also bring insight to the different modes of behaviour, or archetypes, we adopt during each part of our emotional journey.

 

The analogy of tuning forks has intrigued me since reading about it in the metaphysical literature. Supposedly if you bring a non-resonating fork up to another that is vibrating at a particular note the first fork will begin to resonate at the same frequency of the second. I wanted to test this in reality. The owner of the music store was intrigued and later surprised when the two forks in the photo above confirmed the theory.

 

The metaphor shows how we are affected by the 'vibes' of other people. We have all experienced this. We feel on the same 'wavelength' with someone or not.

 

Have you felt energized by being around someone who is optimistic and depleted by the heaviness of a negative person? Confucius said we must only have people in our lives who are our equal. He could as well have said only those who are on the same wavelength and vibe.

 

Di Granger is a friend and colleague of many years. I agree with her when she says she defines herself by who she is rather than what she does. Her positive and authentic ideals resonate with my own. We are both attuned to the same purpose to enrich the world and bring heart to the workplace.
