The power of an intention.

I have healed from a breakdown, panic attacks, years of depression, fears and limitations. How did I do this? I decided one day enough was enough. Simply by my intention to heal I found a way.

After years of depression and panic attacks, one day I read that having depression means one needs to be on anti depressants their whole life, something inside of me ignited! That something said ‘NO! I got into this state naturally, so I can get myself out naturally!’

I had no idea how I was going to heal at the time, I just knew there had to be a way. A few years after making this commitment I started having therapy with someone called Dorothea Schueler, which was such a relief to express myself fully with no judgment and I’m so grateful for the sessions I had with her. Yet for me, I noticed it wasn’t healing any route causes, I felt that I got good at talking about my life, but I wanted to go deeper to find the route causes of my suffering. So I started seeing nutritionists, going to meditation events, seeing healers, sound healings with Carly Grace, shamanic breath work with Rebecca Dennis, mentors, self development seminars with Tony Robbins, silent retreats, anything that I resonated with. And step by step, day by day I was healing.

I felt drawn to see someone by the name of Jody Shield as my intuitive therapist who held the space for me to heal and guided me on my path. One day Jody’s intuition pointed me to go and see her spiritual teacher called Damien Wynne at one of his teaching retreats in Greece. Which I did, and I’ll hold my hands up, I felt very much out of my depth yet I was open to learn and knew that somehow it will all work out. He told me that he sees me holding a healing space for groups of people, however I didn’t feel ready, I didn’t know how I could ever do that.

It took me a few years of trying different healing techniques before I went back to Damiens teachings. It wasn’t until the events of 2020 that I started listening to him again, as he was for me, the lighthouse I needed through those turbulent times. For 3 to 4 years now I’ve been learning and practising his teachings, I am now doing one to one sessions for others to heal their lives, which feels so good and very aligned indeed.

So life showed me the power of an intention, an intention to heal. And through doing so, I’ve learnt how to support others to heal too. How wonderful is that!

“I felt seen and safe to share very personal topics. I am already seeing and living the change I was hoping to achieve. Thanks Oliver.”
