~ Michelle Morrison ~
When I met Michelle Morrison of the Balanced Soul the first thing I noticed was that her eyes smiled more brightly than anyone I had ever met. She beamed with joy and welcomed me as if I was someone she had known for years, even though we had just been introduced. We had a short intuitive reading, and as she spoke, the feeling I had was that of a deep sense of understanding and support from her. What unfolded in the session was so amazing that I knew I had to learn more about this wonderful woman and what she does. Michelle Morrison’s passion is helping people discover their highest potential and empowering them to make the changes they want. Michelle is an Intuitive, Medium, Reiki Master Teacher and Shamanic Practitioner. She works one on one with individuals through intuitive readings and healing sessions. Michelle is also a writer, speaker and workshop presenter. Recently, I had the pleasure of taking her weekend workshop in Tigh Na Mara called Awakening, Empowerment & Miracles.
ers. The awakening is when you become aware of where you put your energy--into anger, frustration, guilt --or into happiness, joyfulness and gratitude. Do we make decisions based on fear or on love? So how can we make these shifts? Michelle: Being mindful of your thoughts. Knowing you can make conscious choices to change thought patterns. Why is the workshop format so effective? Michelle: When you gather like-minded people who are looking to let go of what isn’t serving them, it is so powerful because they learn so much from each other. When we share ideas with others we realize we are not alone with these thoughts - that we are more alike than we are different. It isn’t easy to travel this path alone, and it helps to find people who are cheerleading along with you.
What inspired you to create this workshop? Michelle: In my practice I am seeing a theme with clients right now- people are seeking a deeper meaning in their lives, and are wanting to make every moment count. They want to get off that merry go round and bring forward something that creates more happiness and fulfillment. Are they doing what they are meant to be doing? What can they do to remove blocks and fear to live a truly empowered life? The most powerful tool I learned is the awareness of miracles, which is what you describe as simply a shift in perspective from fear to love. What happens when we experience this shift? Michelle: We live the life we truly want to live for ourselves. We become guided by our own inner voice and not by the ideas of oth-
I can attest that after the three day intensive with 16 other amazing people, I had a bunch of cheerleaders on my team! The amazing thing was, when I was connected to them, I felt absolutely connected to myself. This brought forth a feeling of peace and pure trust in myself. I have since been able to tune into my intuition and it has helped me focus on want I truly want. Thank you Michelle for your kind guidance, support, and help to trust my inner power. Michelle has another workshop Empowering and Creating an Exceptional Life May 25th and 26th. We have the benefit of her amazing talent being offered here in Kamloops.
