How The Worst Thing That Ever Happens To You
Can Also Be The Best Thing That Ever Happens To You And Can Open You Up To Your Spiritual Awakening. Kelsey Ward | Clairvoyant, Clairaudient, Clairsentient, Claircognizant, and a Medium.
toxic including every person, job, and situation in my life, it instantly improved. At first this felt extreme and became lonely because I didn’t understand it. Please know if people start falling out of your life instantly, this is simply part of your spiritual awakening and is redirecting you toward your highest self and for you to be able to reach your fullest potential and follow your souls’ purpose in this lifetime. This is imperative in order for you to be able to follow and trust both your path and purpose.
We’ve all been through it. The one thing that breaks us down more than we could have ever imagined and seems like the end of the world, crushes both our soul and spirit and makes it seem nearly impossible to get back up and recover. Today I’m going to share a story of how the worst thing that ever happens to you can also be the best thing that ever happens to you. There is always a way out of the darkness and there is always a major breakdown before a breakthrough. In 2017 I was living in the Northern Virginia, Washington DC Metro area and I lived alone in my dream apartment that I felt was my safe space and I called home. Little did I know this apartment was by far the worst thing to ever happen to me but also the best and the beginning of my spiritual awakening. To preface, a spiritual awakening is a phase in one’s life where everything seems to be going wrong all at once in every aspect; however, it’s doing so in an attempt to open you up to following your spiritual path and purpose. It does so by placing you in the most difficult situations that may seem near to impossible to overcome; however, this is the catalyst for change to shed any and old layers of yourself to be who you were meant to be, also known as your highest self. This was by far the most difficult phase of my life. This apartment had made me extremely sick from toxic black mold which I was unaware was in the apartment. It had been growing behind my drywall and in my heating and cooling system for 4 | OneTribeMagazine.com
five years. I would constantly get sick while living there and couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. I had visited multiple doctors while living there and was never able to receive proper diagnosis. Little did I know, the mold was an identical representation of all of the toxicity which was overflowing in my life at that time. All of the toxicity had to go as well as everything I owned as it started to grow all over every single item of furniture and clothing I owned. I ended up being forced to throw out every single thing I ever owned. This was what had begun my rebirth in addition to my spiritual awakening which helped me blossom into the person I have become today. Although this situation proved to be complex, it was by far the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Once I was able to rid myself and my life of everything
Spiritual awakenings can be extremely scary; however, they are absolutely worth it in the long run. Please know when every aspect of your life feels like it’s going awry and nothing is making sense, this is simply your guides clearing and making way for the new and positive to enter your life and detoxing the negative. You must endure the hardships in order to find the good. As with everything in life, there is always light at the end of the tunnel and always a solution. It is your job to find the hidden message in every hardship and turn it into the best thing that could have happened to you in order to find the gratitude and peace you deserve.

Fibromyalgia Devastating But Not Incurable. Annemieke van Eijkeren Rapid Pain Elimination Therapist & Mind Mediation Therapist, Therapeutic Counselor.
Fibromyalgia is primarily characterised by chronic and widespread musculoskeletal pain, physical and mental fatigue, poor sleep and general physical illness. For many it is like a curse, a permanent and ever increasing blight upon a person and their family, as if cast by a particularly angry wicked witch in a particularly dark fairy tale. Once Fibromyalgia took a hold of me I firmly believed that my fairy tale was over, there could be no more happy endings for my story. I was wrong, even this curse can be lifted. No frogs were harmed in the telling of this story (there are no frogs in it). Unfortunately there was no spinning wheel for me to prick my finger upon. No angry witch with a grudge to settle. There was no fairy tale narrative at play, but how I wished, how I’d begged for that spinning wheel since that day when my life so undramatically changed. Just like any other day I had risen, washed, dressed and prepared to face the day ahead. Though it turned out that I wasn’t prepared at all. I was sore and I was exhausted. Pained in a deep rooted way, in a way that only some fictional sleep echoed in the great fairy tales of the past, tired in a way I would soon know intimately, daily and, so it once seemed, unendingly. This was just the start of a journey I could never have contemplated, a journey that seemed too unreal and yet real at the same time. There was no narrative to follow, no predetermined path, no Holy Grail or buried treasure, and unfortunately no handsome prince who would come along, kiss my exhausted lips and bring brightness, energy and life back to my failing form. 6 | OneTribeMagazine.com
The theme of fairy tales is a good one because ‘normal’ rapidly becomes the fairy tale you wished that you could live. Normal was a story that we could once strive to reach for, with heroes and heroines and dragons to slay, potions that fix everything and spells that bring an end to all suffering. Before I knew it things were spiralling beyond any form of control. The medical professionals, doctors, rheumatologists and endless pain specialists presented like our princes from far off lands, although instead of the wonderful kiss of true love they bring endless recommendations for things that make very little difference. Pills, potions, drugs, supports, crutches, exercises that almost cripple and helpful modifications to our cars, homes and even our clothing to make the pain of life easier to bear. If you’re reading, I’m sure you know already the curse that we call Fibromyalgia. It isn’t simply tiredness : there is weight gain,
appetite loss, a foggy, fuzzy way of thinking, depression, anger, angst. There is grieving for the life we lost, but for each day we find something else from the day before that is no longer feasible. How long before walking the dogs, or brushing my hair takes so much effort that I don’t even bother any more. The person we see in the mirror is no longer the person we grew up being, that childlike innocence gone, maybe now we are the Beast awaiting Beauty? More fairy tales, our dishes don’t wash themselves, and that clock, which is one hour out thanks to daylight savings time and my inability to reach up there, take it from the wall and twist the dial back and forth to make it accurate once more. It simply sits, ticking. Endless time and yet out of time. This certainly sounds like a lot of self-pity, and for a long time this was very much my life. I’d gone from motorcycle riding, horse-riding and folklore dancing, enjoying sports, being endlessly active to an inactive cripple. An excited and proud mum that I knew my daughter could be proud of, a woman who was capable, desirable and passionate, excited about tomorrows and proud of yesterdays, and I guess I just didn’t notice at the time. I had all that in my grasp, taken for granted and then quietly, stealthily taken away. You bet I felt pity, anger, frustration and loss. I grieved for the glowing flare I was. We become warriors. Fighting against ourselves. Our bodies sending endless signals of pain, almost passionate in their need for us to stop. To just stop. Of course we’re not going to be beaten, and so we keep going, fighting, pushing, using our anger and grief and frustration to push, push PUSH.
One day I found I no longer needed to push. I no longer needed to fight. You could say I found my fairy tale, my Beauty, that slowly but surely the Beast curse is being lifted, and I’m once again filled with hope, with love, with excitement for the future. Now it is time to step away from the fairy tales and share a reality, an understanding that I wish now that I’d gained decades ago. An understanding that could have been the difference between having this tale of suffering and sadness, and a tale of excitement, drama, success and inner-power. Through working first around and then alongside a fantastic team of people, exploring the principles of pain both subconsciously and physically and the many psychotherapeutic approaches to managing the symptoms of pain, I was exposed to a whole new approach to recovery, a different process aimed at all kinds of pain. Physical, emotional, chronic but most importantly no longer relevant pain. The unique thing about this team is the trials and testing, the exploration of the sciences, as well as simply the results. I saw clients suffering from auto-immune conditions quickly finding that their pain is dramatically reduced, and therefore their fatigue and mood are lifted. I saw cycles broken, lives regained, and I gained hope for the first time in what seemed like that one hundred years. At first it seemed like magic, as if still part of this distantly remembered fairy tale, but as you learn to understand the deep connection between stress, emotional pain, depression and physical pain it quickly becomes obvious how everything plays together to make this illness all that it is. Even the mentality, the warrior mindset, plays into the hands of the illness, wearing you down, tiring you out, increasing your mental, emotional and physical stress.
I used to be a Fibromyalgia patient for many years, to the point where I couldn’t get out of bed by myself. Used to be, but not anymore, because of RPET and Mind Mediation Therapy.
population being affected. For the first time though, the investigation is about more than chemical compounds, surgical intervention and pain killers. The mindset, emotional and mental health are all being covered with startling findings. The modalities used by me and my fellow Rapid Pain Elimination and Mind Mediation Therapists work directly with emotional and mental health, targeting the deep sources of emotional stress which contribute greatly to the longevity of this illness, to the severity of the symptoms and prevention of remission, and with fantastic results. I remember wishing that I could find a magic lamp, rub it and ask the genie for just one wish, the release of this pain. I didn’t find the lamp, as I said, life isn’t a fairy tale. I found something much greater, much more powerful. I found myself, my strength, my voice and I found the path to once again living. I now stand in front of the mirror with hope, and I see in my eyes that vibrancy, that excitement for tomorrow. There are no fairy tale endings, and that’s fine. It’s 2019, how could Sleeping Beauty ever consent to a waking kiss? However life is not about the endings, it’s about the story we create along the way, the character development and the plot lines we cover. My story has had its darkness, now I stride confidently towards the light. If you want to walk with me and step away from that cursed disease then contact me via the links below and we’ll get you going again, on your way to a new life.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you feel out of balance? Does life appear extreme to you at times? Does that exhaust you?
Then it’s time to change the metaphor! Nina Sadlowsky | International Results Coach & Speaker, Yoga Instructor, Essential Oils Lover.
So, clear out the energy that you don’t want or need anymore, clear out the tensions in your body, the thoughts in your mind and the feelings in your heart. Let them go. Make space in your water glass.
Our life and how we live it, is based on our culture, education and interpretations which over time develops a certain belief system, a thinking pattern, eventually our reality of life.
Examples of what I keep hearing from my clients: Others have a negative energy. I am not loveable. I feel tense about money. My shoulder and neck are often tight.
This reality of life, however, is not generally valid. Your reality is not mine, just like my reality is not the same as anyone else’s. We all perceive life through a certain lens, subject to the stage of life we are in or moving through at the moment. The good news is the lens is changing and adaptable, and you can change and are adaptable. So, at all times in your life, you have the power to look through a different lens. You hold the power to experience life differently, i.e. not stuck, but in flow. Not out of balance, but balanced. Not in extremes, but on the middle lane. Not exhausting, but empowering. Isn’t it powerful to know that you hold this power within you? Isn’t it great to know that your life does not depend on someone else, but solely on you, your consciousness, your desires and your willpower to take action? Isn’t it awesome to know that you can stop living life by default, but design your life instead? If you feel like you have lost your power, let me tell you, you haven’t lost it. You probably just forgot about it. So, do you want to reclaim your power? Do you want to reclaim your life? 8 | OneTribeMagazine.com
WRITE IT ALL DOWN. Journaling is one of the best ways to clear out your body, mind and soul system. Step 2: NOURISH
Then follow this 3-step-programme. 5 4 3 2 1, GO! Step 1: CLEAR OUT The first step of clearing it all out is so critical. Imagine a full glass of water. When it is full, no more water can be added. It runs over. It is the same with our body, mind and soul. When it is too much, it’s simply too much and we cannot absorb nor process anything else. This is because we hold on to things, that we don’t need anymore. Our energy that should ideally be running through our body and mind freely, stagnates. We’ve stored (disruptive) energy that we don’t need any more in our bodies, we’ve stored thoughts that we don’t think any more in our mind, and we’ve stored emotions that we don’t feel any more in our heart. This is all taking up space in your water glass.
The second step is equally important. When it comes to personal development, you might want to think about your personal growth, your transformation and how you can become the best version of yourself. So, after step 1 and clearing it all out, my question to you is: What are you nourishing? What is it that you want for yourself in life? How do you want your life to look like? How do you want to feel? What do you want to invite into your life? Which energy do you want to feel and attract into your life? Examples of my clients: I deserve success. I am loveable no matter what I achieve. I always do my best in every given situation. I attract abundance and prosperity into my life. WRITE IT ALL DOWN. Journaling is also a fabulous way to express your desires to someone or something, even if it’s only your journal.
Step 3: HARMONISE After you have defined the aspects you want to clear out of your life and those that you want to nourish more, it’s time to harmonise. This third step is about inviting it all in. Invite the new energy that you want to be in. Invite the feelings that you want to feel. Invite the new higher frequency that you want to vibrate at. Harmonise your new energy and frequency in your body, in your mind and in your heart. Introduce these new patterns into your life, no matter what. Vibe your own freedom by inviting it all in. You deserve this. You deserve to be 100% happy. You deserve to live a life you truly love. Examples of my clients: I’m loveable no matter what. I am successful with my business. I let difficult situations run through me. I don’t always react immediately. AGAIN, WRITE IT DOWN. Let your journal serve as your best friend that you can tell EVERYTHING without judgment. Trust and enjoy. Remember: If you are stuck, change the metaphor. Change the question you ask and you’ll see a new answer. Change your perspective. Look through a different lens. If you do not know what is right (yet), switch into ‘Let’s see’ mode and gift yourself time. Go through life from moment to moment and adapt the lens whenever necessary. You’ll notice just how beautiful life is. Enjoy the process and enjoy the ride! Yours, Nina PS: You can continue your practice with my Amazon Bestseller eBook “Feel Understand Heal – Design your life for results”.

2020 ~
Robert Landau | Motivational Speaker, Certified Life Coach & Published Author. When it comes to the fine art of setting goals, successfully arriving at the finish line is what it’s all about. Many often forget that it’s all about how you choose to manage the race along the way. It’s the journey that counts because once you have your goal in mind, how you take the next series of steps makes a huge difference in jumping into ultimate success and realization.
It’s easier than you think but you must be focused and dedicated to making a change in a better direction.
What does the month of January mean to you? Is it just another month in the progression of years that seem to accumulate all too fast or could it possibly be another opportunity to get closer to the reason why you came here in the first place? Always remember that how you choose to feel about jumping into something that’s right at your doorstep is a good indication as to what will actually happen as the new year unfolds.
If you follow this simple process and dedicate yourself to making each step along the way the best it can possibly be, then you’ll find yourself in the company of a select few who have earned their place at the finish line.
What if I told you that you have the opportunity to make this your best year yet? If you don’t believe me, I would ask you to seriously reconsider. You have a hand in how your future unfolds. You want to be sure that when you jump, you’ll land successfully on both feet. Are you an innocent victim of life’s seemingly random circumstances or might you consider the possibility that you are a willing co-creator in what happens to you along your journey? Jumping into a new year means that you have yet another opportunity to get things right. What a blessing and gift it is to be able to take things to the next level… each and every year. So how can you make this year better than any year before it? 10 | OneTribeMagazine.com
Creating intent gives you the upper hand in setting the foundation for great things to happen in the near future. Thinking isn’t as important as feeling when it comes to jumping into the next phase of your life.
This is a process that shouldn’t only be used at the beginning of the year. The quest to create and realize goals is something that you should be engaging in throughout the entire year, every year. Don’t sit around waiting for something to happen, roll up your sleeves, jump in there and make it your business to use your amazing power of intent to create the best future for yourself ever imagined… and here’s how. The Easy 5-Step Journey to Jump into Any Goal 1. State your goal 2. What will you do to realize your goal each and every day? 3. F eel what it feels like to already have achieved the results of your goal 4. Get out of the way and don’t let self-doubt become a major player 5. Be patient and open to receive Let’s take a closer look at each of these important steps; 1. Stating your goal Briefly state what your goal happens to be. Many find writing this down to be extremely helpful. Seeing it on paper makes it real and official. Make sure your goal is attainable and realistic. Trying to jump into something that is too farfetched will only serve to create unnecessary disappointment. You deserve better than that. 2. What will you do to realize your goal each and every day? Plan out a time-line on a calendar of what you’ll get done when
this, the better. Don’t be your own worst enemy when it comes to achieving your goals. 5. Be patient and open to receive A lways make sure you’re expecting your goal to be fully realized. Even though adjustments might have to be made along the way, think positive and check yourself to see if you’re totally open to receive success once it occurs. Rome was not built in a day. Have faith and feel that what you will end up receiving is exactly what you need, not necessarily what you want. The Universe always has your back but the question is, do you believe it? If you follow these five easy steps, you’ll soon find that setting and realizing goals is so much easier than it might have seemed. Stay the course and you’ll soon find that will be well worth the journey. on the way to achieving your goal. What small steps will you need to take to get your goal accomplished and what specific days and times will those particular steps be realized? Remember, the smallest steps forward create the biggest waves of change. 3. Feel what it feels like to already have achieved the results of your goal F eeling, even more than thinking, is one of the most powerful tools you have to get anything done in your professional and personal life. Science is now proving that if you can feel what it’s like already having accomplished your goal even before you start it, you’ll have a much better chance at arriving at the finish line. Good times to do this are right when you wake up in the morning and just before you fall asleep at night. 4. Get out of the way and don’t let self-doubt become a major player nce you’ve got your goal-setting O wheel in motion, it’s important to remember to stand out of the way and let the results be brought to you. The less your mind-chatter and self-doubt interferes with
Jumping into the new year might indeed be the best thing you’ve ever done for yourself. You’re the only one that can make this happen. If you take the steps to get there you’ll find that you have plenty of help along the way Just ask and you will receive!

From A Spiritual Junkie Back To Being A Real Human Linda Liv Doktar | Expansion Coach for High-Performers
that by showing up this way we have in fact only kept feeding a ‘brokenneed-fixing’ identity & addiction?
I finally jumped off my unicorn and back into the Human Experience. I took my head out of the clouds and came back to planet earth.
The only way that I came to realise this was to take the journey myself. I took the journey from 3D to 5D to 12D to 5D, and back to 3D again. No-one told me that the magic in life occurs in the physical dimension. The very dimension where our manifestations also become real.
I was immersed in it all… In fact, I was addicted. I was addicted and attached to crystals, tarot cards, ceremonial cacao, full moon rituals, plant medicines, pendulums and all the rest. I was always chasing the next healing and the next 12D activation. Because I wanted to transcend and expand. I wanted to keep elevating my consciousness. Yet soon I realised I had been operating from ‘broken-need-fixing’ mentality and belief system. The present was never good enough so I kept seeking the next thing that would help me expand and grow. I didn’t know when to stop. And I didn’t know I had been creating separation instead of wholeness. So, I recently made a decision to quit. I quit my addiction to spirituality, as I realised I had developed a way of being where nothing was good enough. This also meant that I believed I wasn’t good enough the way I was. So I kept doing all the things that would help me evolve. And on this journey of addictive ascension I had been partaking in spiritual by-pass and missing what life was truly about… The enjoyment of the now. It’s almost like spirituality has become a trend. We begin showing up differently and speaking differently. We begin to engage in ‘conscious language’ and start using different words. Some even begin to channel light language, and soon 12 | OneTribeMagazine.com
The truth is we cannot just sit in meditation and think about what we want to manifest. Every dream and desire must be backed by a physical action in order to put the universal wheels in motion to deliver our desires. we find ourselves so removed from the 3rd dimension of the human experience that we reject and avoid the magic that has been gifted to us. It’s almost like crystals, incents and tarot cards have become ‘cool’. And we then tattoo our bodies with spiritual and cosmic symbols. Even yoga has become a new trend and easy ‘go-to’ for relief after a ‘bad day’. Now suddenly we find ourselves by-passing our human emotions, and the moment we feel challenged on the inside we escape into meditation. We also think that because of these challenging inner states we must be missing something, we must still be ‘broken’, So we keep doing more and more. And this is a trap. It is an addiction to ‘doing’ rather than ‘being’. So how and when do we know when to stop? How and when do we know when to take the foot off the pedal? How and when do we come to realise
Most people who embark on an addictive journey of ascension lack embodiment in the now. This is who I also was. I was living with my head in the clouds and lacking embodiment in the now. And everything happens in the NOW. Time is an illusion, and the question is – What do we keep re-affirming in the now? That we are ‘broken, not enough and need fixing’ – or that we are ‘whole, happy and abundant’? I resigned from my healing addiction and ongoing 12D activations. I put my full-moon rituals on hold and said ‘No More!’ And as a result, I have integrated back into the 3rd dimension and began to experience the magic in the now. I now feel as complete and whole as a Queen in a Queendom! And I never knew that THIS kind of fun, happiness, contentment and joy was even possible! I have never felt more happy, content, fulfilled and powerful than

One of the most powerful and important things I have ever learnt in my journey thus far, is that my soul always knows. My soul is my compass. My soul is my navigation system. And when I follow it, I simply can’t go wrong. – Linda Liv Doktar

I do at this point in my life. I feel like a magician. My manifestations also show up instantaneously. We never know what we know until we step into the next level of Self and reality. Until we peel back another layer and align another degree to the highest truth of our soul. But how did I know it was time to press pause on the 12D world? My soul spoke to me. My intuition gave me a nudge. I was guided. And to have the ability to connect to this level of inner guidance is a practice itself. No more healings. No more activations. No more releasing of blocks. Only one simple thing – To enjoy the fruits and bounty life has to offer. And to enjoy getting to know the new self I worked so hard to create. Now, it was time to be a true human again. To play, enjoy and explore. And since then, I have been playing! I have been enjoying and exploring! I have been having a such a good time! With zero judgment, resistance and escaping of the present. Just simply making love to the now. And the magic that keeps unfolding in front of my eyes. The speed of which I receive my manifestations is mind-bending! Lately I have been invited to several activations and offered free healings. And the old me would have jumped at every opportunity. Yet the only thing I feel in the now is contentment, happiness and wholeness. Therefore, no part of me feels the need to accept any further healing. I am not stating this as a ‘forever’ fact. The 5D / 12D journey has played a big part in my life and my growth. And I don’t reject any dimensions or any parts of Self. Right now, for the very first time in my life, I feel fully embodied in the all-ness of the human experience. So, my point here is – Do YOU know when to stop? Do you know when to take the foot off the pedal? As the saying goes “don’t fix what’s not broken” is also a great reminder that we are never broken - unless 16 | OneTribeMagazine.com
we embody an identity and belief system that we are. Because then, no matter how many healings or activations we do, we’ll never feel complete. We’ll never feel good enough. This is a shadow side of the spiritual ascension and the ‘consciousness space’. One of the most powerful and important things I have ever learnt in my journey thus far, is that my soul always knows. My soul is my compass. My soul is my navigation system. And when I follow it, I simply can’t go wrong. Whatever I ask for it guides me to the exact thing one way or another. Or it guides me without my conscious asking. But I always trust. Even when the rest of the world is going Right, and my soul wants me to go Left - I trust and I go Left. I go wherever it wants me to go. Your Soul is your most important life coach and your biggest cheer leader. So it’s time to stay in your own soullane. Everything and everyone you get to experience here on earth is a bonus. It’s a gift! And if you don’t know how to access your soul guidance, intuition & inner wisdom find someone who can teach you. Do not solely rely on external healings and activations. Learn to become your own healer, guide and activator. Operating solely from external guidance is a trap. We must learn to embody all parts and all dimensions of Self. We must learn to return to wholeness and to the truth of who and what we are. And most importantly, we must learn to integrate all the magical ‘woo-woo’ into the 3D. It’s HERE where the REAL magic happens. So from a space of truth, alignment, awareness and surrender – let’s enjoy this human experience to the fullest! It’s what our soul came here for. Let’s embody real happiness and fulfilment without pretending. You deserve it all. We all do.
