Dear Simone, I feel so deeply moved by your reflections on John, that blue aura and the throat chakra. The connection between his loss of speech and your thyroid collapse is profound, and something I relate to intimately ... I’ve lived with thyroid challenges for many years, and have come to understand how deeply they’re tied to my own voice, expression and the weight I carry.
Your communion with John and the Team across realms is so beautifully held in your writing, and your ability to listen, receive and translate those multidimensional guidance is a gift to all of us. I especially felt the resonance in your words about retirement and the discomfort of the unknown ... those inner voices that rise up when we’re on the cusp of transformation.
I look forward to hearing more as you allow yourself to dive into those memories.
If you haven’t already come across this one, I can highly recommend "The Inner Work of Age: Shifting from Role to Soul" by Connie Zweig. It’s a gentle, wise companion for this threshold time, and I think it would speak beautifully to your journey. I've read it a couple times now in preparation for my own retirement (December 2026) and will no doubt dip in again.
Thank you so much for sharing a little more of your story, your practice and your presence. May your wee week in New Zealand be nourishing, and may life's mystery continue to find you with grace. With love and deep gratitude for your voice in the field.
Thank you for placing a candle in your windowsill so that all may see the light. 🙏💖🕯️
Hi Deborah, thank you for your reflections and sharing, and lovely to feel your presence.
There are so many layers to the throat — voice — blue orbs and aura; then ...now; what we are collaborating on, with the team. It is unfolding in layers. All of it.
Thank you, re the writing; it is sometimes difficult to put words to it ... I spend considerable time editing at sentence and word level, to try and voice what I am feeling and receiving. So, I appreciate the resonance.
No, I haven't heard of Connie Zweig, thank you for the recommendation — I will look into her work.
Thank you for your insights, openness and gentle grace Deborah; you are a gem. I am looking forward to NZ; seeing a couple of friends and being held by the beauty of the landscape.
I trust you and Lin had a great break. Look forward to reading your writing. Have a great day. 🙏🌀💚
Oh I just wrote on my note but happy to repeat ... yes we had a truly wonderful break, mostly spent deep in the forest. Thank you so much for asking, Simone.
As for Connie’s book ... honestly, it’s fab-U-lous and I wholeheartedly recommend it! I initially mentioned it because I intuit, that you’re already living so much of what she describes beautifully. Her approach to this major life transition is deeply spiritual and archetypal, and has helped me begin to let go of my own long career and step onto the path I’m now walking. If you're curious, there are some lovely interviews with her on YouTube that offer a glimpse into the book before diving in.
One of the reasons I love reading your newsletter is that I resonate so deeply with your reflections on ancestral healing. It feels like it's a core part of my purpose too, even if I'm not sure about how to proceed. Just sitting with that knowing has often stopped me in my tracks. Perhaps all these years of being a therapist, listening to and studying family patterns, is part of the Great Work as well. It must be, as teaching is for you. 💖🙏
Yes, I will have a look on YouTube 🙏. It's a bit weird because my career really 'ended' 10 years ago (in April) when we left Melbourne bruised ... still 18 months from John's diagnosis, we left for a half lap of Aus, then came back to build a house in the country, for our retirement ... I had aspirations to pick up work again (he had retired, being 10 years older than me), and bang! So, the last 2 years with the kids has been a very nurturing space for me, in many ways.
The ancestral healing came about as part of the whole cross realm communication. John's death, and the grief just opened the floodgates to what I had been holding re the family dynamic, the childhood - adolescent-adult stuff etc. Then John's familial stuff. All interwoven from across the veil. Fascinating.
No doubt all of the years of your work as a therapist has lead you to where you sit with what needs to be healed for you intergenerationally. As my work with adolescents and their families.
I have come to understand that the ancestral healing occurs in the human realm of emotions, it is guided by our soul but necessary to occur on the human plane (i sense), the ancestors guide it as it crosses timelines for their human experiences too. If that makes sense? 🙏💜
Oh, I love how your words carry both depth and tenderness, Simone. In them I feel the weight and wonder of your soul journey, and that quiet strength it takes to name it all so clearly.
The arc you describe ... from leaving Melbourne, through grief and the building of a new life, to the nurturing space with the children and young adults these past two years feels like a soul-led pilgrimage. And how powerful ancestral healing seems to be emerging through the veil for you ... woven with John’s passing and the emotional truths long held within. It’s sacred work, and I honour the courage it takes to walk it.
Yes, I deeply resonate with what you're saying about healing needing to occur in the human realm of emotion, even as it’s guided by soul and witnessed by the ancestors. That sense of crossing timelines, thresholds ... of tending what was left unresolved in their human experience, feels so true. I often think of it as a kind of soul composting: the old pain, the buried stories, slowly transforming into nourishment for what’s next.
Your insight about our professional paths shaping this work is so affirming. Thank you so much. I feel it too ... that all those years of listening, witnessing and holding space were preparing me to meet my own lineage with compassion and clarity. May it be so. 🙏💖
Thank you Deborah, for holding space. Yes, the connections across the veil are pivotal in this work for me ... I never imagined how this would evolve, expand and be so transformative, Our society teaches us that death is the end, except we can all keep our soul to soul connection; we will have other lives with our soul group, and the healing does ripple across dimensions. That has been the greatest learning for me — ancestral healing
Your composting metaphor resonates ... pain can transform into wisdom ... generations of buried stories run in our veins, and we can shift the energies of emotions ... "with compassion and clarity" It will be so, because we do have the strength and courage. Thank you too.😇 🙏💖
Thank you so much, Simone, for sharing these radiant Truths. Wishing you, John and the Team a lovely, peaceful evening wrapped in harmonious soul connection and the quiet, loving wisdom of the ancestors. 💖🙏✨
Simone! Have a lovely trip! Thanks for the one you just took me on! “I let the mystery be, until the mystery wants to find me. The door remains open.” Indeed! The physical doors to the other side. The heart space. The expansion. Soul. Swingling blinds. Opening eyes! Blessings and thank you Team John 🙏🧡
Such precious nuggets in this piece, Simone. Again!
"The soul exists in a constant current of unconditional love. Soul observation and subsequent guidance draws on the collective wisdom to assist the emotional evolution in the human experience."
I'll return to that in a future chapter...
And the essential message that "the unknown is safe", correlating with the current chapter I am working on.
Reading such synchronous insights also feels like 'messages from the soul team'. I love it!
Hi Veronika, l love the synchronicities 🙏💚. Yes, that there is not the complexity of emotions at ‘home’ in the oneness, it was a bit of clarity for me, in that we sort of store and then take those patterned emotions into our next incarnation… no wonder our teams are about us, trying to help us shift, for us for them 🤣🤣. I suspect the observational role always comes through the eyes of compassion … we not need fear the judgement that is ingrained in us. Interesting, a couple of friends were over last night and the conversation turned to forgiveness (in light of the recent death of a parent), and just the different understandings of what that concept entails, and how that reflects our realities etc. fascinating really. Look forward to reading your next chapter 🙏😊🌀🪶🌊💜
I'm working on it! 😊 Having to squeeze the writing in between travels, visitors and harvesting olives, but the next chapter is slowly taking shape and should be ready next week Saturday. ✍🏼 💗 ✨
“Fear of the unknown … the human discomfort. Thoughts of the mind, when presenting as fear of the unknown, can dilute the energies that manifest possibilities and opportunities. The unknown is safe, came soul’s guidance.”
Devotional time, for me, is like your meditation time. It is how I begin my days, pre-strengthening myself, my heart and Soul, for whatever comes my way during the day. Its like telling the great mysteries of life, "Whatever you have for me this day, we'll lean into it together, and I'll grow...so, bring it."
I clear my head by walking and it opens my heart and Soul even further. Which is why so many days after I've walked down to the lake, the portal is open and waiting. I don't walk home. I float. Invisibly. It's marvelous! So, yeah, I get the two worlds thing. A lot.
So interesting, too, that John's aura is blue, when it was his speech that went while he was sick and he began, instead, to communicate in other ways. Was that picture you captured that showed his aura taken before he got sick? Was it always blue? Its like the mystery imbued him especially with that aura, knowing all that would happen, and that he would have to find other ways to communicate. mmm. That is magical!!
Hi Soul Sis, You're very sweet, thank you. Yes, your devotional time in nature is meditation. Being in the ocean does that for me too; opens portals. It is interesting how it is that the unseen realm supports the set intent for the day, in the physicality of this world.
The picture of his aura is taken after his death, actually January this year, his outline, walking in the garden. Spiritually, it makes sense, (peace, calm, intuition etc) about him and about the writing (how the earth work experience etc is related to it). There's just a bit of something else I am yet to receive, I feel that. I will send you the photo on DM if you wish to see it. It all blows me away, how he is able to swing the blinds, move the feather etc as ways to confirm what he telepathically drops in.
Thank you for being here Danielle. I amd grateful for the connection. I love you too 💙🌀🙏
That is amazing, Simone. Thank you for offering to share the picture. I'd love to see it. Wow!!
It is a testament to your connection to him and to the ethers that you have been gifted with the ability to welcome those things repositioning, to see the confirmation in them. Beautiful!! XO
Wow Simone. You blow me away every time you share your learnings and realisations. These things are so hard to express on paper. Your team ( from beyond? from within? ) are guiding you and the thoughts are eloquent and tangible. The river is flowing fast, the energy of the team merging with yours.
That flower is stunning! Amazing what flowers can do! What is it?
So much here Simone, the blue energy around the flowering gum, both you and John silenced in every way and now sharing a voice- the power in that!
These quotes:
"it is the intent driving the curiosity, wonder and imagination, that manifests possibilities."
"The unknown is safe." Oh yes something I have been trying to lean into myself, more than ever before. The Mystery of the unknown. Faith.
Look forward to feeling your vibes in NZ. Welcome for Wednesday! xxx🙏🧡
Hi Jo, Thank you, for your generous words. The team — beyond, within — I think it is both ... it just fascinates me and I go with what l feel ... really, John and his signs are just amazing, the synchronicity and confirmation. That blows me away.
I just think our teams relate the universal truths in ways that our human self and context will consider (ego mind 🤣). Hence, no one way in what we receive and how we receive it, though I think mediation puts us in the frequency. It blows me away too ... and it is layered.
Isn't the flower just superb. It is a bell fruited mallee shrub from south-west WA. (Eucalyptus Preissiana), I only know because I keep the tags 🤣. I saw it a couple of years ago in a native nursery that is also a show garden.
Yes, the blue and the throat chakra, his orb and aura — there is something in that and I don't know yet, the all of it. "The unknown is safe".
I am packing for NZ — pretty excited 🖤. Got my hiking boots ready. Will send the vibes your way. Have a great week Jo, and thank you, beautiful soul. 💛
As ever, Simone your words serve as guidance and affirmation. I have missed my meditations over the past few days and need to honour this space more. I hope you have a wonderful time in New Zealand!
Thank you Trudi, l am having a wonderful time away. Thank you for reading and resonating with what l am learning from the team. Hope you have a wonderful day 🙏💙😊
Your writing beautifully captures the complexities of grief, love and spiritual exploration. The way you weave together your personal experiences with deeper insights into the nature of the soul and consciousness is both profound and relatable. Your openness about your journey and the guidance you receive from beyond is truly inspiring. Wishing you peace and continued growth on your path. 🙏💗
Thank you 🙏💜 for your kind and generous comment, for noticing and understanding. May peace and soul expansion continue to grace your human experiences too. 😊🙏
Simone, this is radiant and deeply affirming. I love the way you describe discernment as “bringing thought to translate the vibrations”—that movement from soul-sense into embodied knowing. It's beautiful the way your words dissolve the boundary between the personal and the cosmic, showing grief as a portal to grace and collaboration with the unseen.
Your line “The unknown is safe” landed in my heart—such a needed reminder in these threshold times. Thank you, and thank you to Team John, for continuing to model what conscious partnership looks like across realms. 🌀💙🙏
Thank you Camilla, what a beautiful comment — it is sums up what 'we' intended to convey in the writing. Discernment has evolved into a central aspect of the process I am being guided on, in expanding awareness. The unknown is safe because we are lead by our soul 🙏🌀💙
Simone, yes — that rings so true: gratitude as the current that keeps the portals open.✨ I love how you name the ego’s role here — not as enemy but as a willing participant once it remembers it’s part of something larger. That’s such a great way of framing integration.
Your insight about grief as an alchemical teacher — transforming attachment into awareness — feels like the essence of the bridge you’re walking. It’s extraordinary how your healing ripples through timelines, dissolving those old fear-based hierarchies from within. Thank you for articulating this so clearly; it’s medicine for all of us remembering how to walk with spirit in partnership rather than hierarchy. 🌀💚🙏
There is such wisdom dancing throughout this, from leaving the door open to "On the cusp of retirement, I am being encouraged to lean into the human discomfort. Thoughts of the mind, when presenting as fear of the unknown, can dilute the energies that manifest possibilities and opportunities. The unknown is safe, came soul’s guidance."
Thank you for reminding us to have tea and sit with the unknown 🫖And have a wonderful holiday! xo
Hi Prajna, 'So below, as above', just cracked me up — so typical of John and his quirky way to send a message through laughter and compassion. Yes, looking forward to NZ. Thank you for being here.🙏 💥
Speaking of letting go of a long career, the covid pandemic ended my career path and retirement plans, my LLC business went belly up in a weekend, my financial situation plummeted, I came down with a bump, crashed, smashed and standing on the porch in my nightgown 🤣
I was instantly retired, broke and transformed overnight. I was one of the millions of folks who didn’t make it I am blessed that I didn’t lose my life. I entered a deep recession into a deep freeze, frozen for five years, whoosh, quite the trip. My mind was boggled and my body took over, interestingly, my body and soul wanted to venture back to per motherhood days and pickup what I left behind, like poetry and literature and art and the humanities and no responsibilities!
I entered into retreat and into my little cozy fox den, and didn’t communicate with the world too much, I studied all the time and collected a room full of notebooks, I threw the tv out the door and gave up the pc, blue ink is a muse of mine 🤣 I embraced “crazy wisdom” 💥
Hi Geraldine ❤️, nice to come home from a a long day ... the big exam for the kids is tomorrow, so it has been calm but intense ... and my eyes are leaking a bit. Thank you for this snippet into resilience and reimagining ... note books and blue ink. I have a John Prine sticker on my baritone uke case, "blow up your TV". I don't think I am communicating with the world too much either ... perhaps that is how we acquire wisdom. Sending love your way 🙏💖
Hi Simone. Lovely understandings. This one, in particular, stays with me in this moment: "We are connected to a plethora of wisdom keepers; including self."
I feel like we are trained to dismiss what we know to be true--about ourselves, and about our perceptions of the world around us.
You show what it means to tap in and stay connected to realms in and beyond the physical world. A reminder that no one is ever lost.
Hi Robyn, thank you … yes, l believe we are trained to be subservient, through division and fear of lack, that this one life is all we have. We are eternal. Thank you for being here. I am looking forward to my break. 🙏🖤

Sounds rather lovely Veronika.... Olives, travels and writing. 💗💗💗
“We need not fear the judgment that is ingrained in us” 💥
Hi Geraldine, yep, no room for judgement ... just compassion and understanding. We can just move away, exit from energy that doesn't resonate 🙏.
Oh this is a keeper SS!

Hi Jo, Thank you, for your generous words. The team — beyond, within — I think it is both ... it just fascinates me and I go with what l feel ... really, John and his signs are just amazing, the synchronicity and confirmation. That blows me away.

Isn't the flower just superb. It is a bell fruited mallee shrub from south-west WA. (Eucalyptus Preissiana), I only know because I keep the tags 🤣. I saw it a couple of years ago in a native nursery that is also a show garden.

I am packing for NZ — pretty excited 🖤. Got my hiking boots ready. Will send the vibes your way. Have a great week Jo, and thank you, beautiful soul. 💛
I keep the tags too. 😊
Yes there really is something in all of that...
Make sure you have a rain jacket!
💛
Will do 🤣🙏
As ever, Simone your words serve as guidance and affirmation. I have missed my meditations over the past few days and need to honour this space more. I hope you have a wonderful time in New Zealand!
Thank you Trudi, l am having a wonderful time away. Thank you for reading and resonating with what l am learning from the team. Hope you have a wonderful day 🙏💙😊
I did! Nearly bedtime now. You have fun!
Of course 😵💫, l am heading out for a hike with a couple of friends 🙏🖤. Sweet dreams 😴

Simone
Generous revelations. So below so above
Our soul is always home
And fear of the unknown safe spaces
So beautiful
Bear and baring witness to feelings
I resonate with living in two worlds
The door remains open
Enjoy New Zealand
☀️
Hi Prajna, 'So below, as above', just cracked me up — so typical of John and his quirky way to send a message through laughter and compassion. Yes, looking forward to NZ. Thank you for being here.🙏 💥
Speaking of letting go of a long career, the covid pandemic ended my career path and retirement plans, my LLC business went belly up in a weekend, my financial situation plummeted, I came down with a bump, crashed, smashed and standing on the porch in my nightgown 🤣
I was instantly retired, broke and transformed overnight. I was one of the millions of folks who didn’t make it I am blessed that I didn’t lose my life. I entered a deep recession into a deep freeze, frozen for five years, whoosh, quite the trip. My mind was boggled and my body took over, interestingly, my body and soul wanted to venture back to per motherhood days and pickup what I left behind, like poetry and literature and art and the humanities and no responsibilities!
I entered into retreat and into my little cozy fox den, and didn’t communicate with the world too much, I studied all the time and collected a room full of notebooks, I threw the tv out the door and gave up the pc, blue ink is a muse of mine 🤣 I embraced “crazy wisdom” 💥
Hi Geraldine ❤️, nice to come home from a a long day ... the big exam for the kids is tomorrow, so it has been calm but intense ... and my eyes are leaking a bit. Thank you for this snippet into resilience and reimagining ... note books and blue ink. I have a John Prine sticker on my baritone uke case, "blow up your TV". I don't think I am communicating with the world too much either ... perhaps that is how we acquire wisdom. Sending love your way 🙏💖
I’m happy you’re happy to be home 🔥 and going on a hiking holiday in exotic New Zealand 💥Māori World 🌀
I am happy to be home and touching base with you in present time 😊🙏
Hi Simone. Lovely understandings. This one, in particular, stays with me in this moment: "We are connected to a plethora of wisdom keepers; including self."
I feel like we are trained to dismiss what we know to be true--about ourselves, and about our perceptions of the world around us.
You show what it means to tap in and stay connected to realms in and beyond the physical world. A reminder that no one is ever lost.
Enjoy your week away!
Hi Robyn, thank you … yes, l believe we are trained to be subservient, through division and fear of lack, that this one life is all we have. We are eternal. Thank you for being here. I am looking forward to my break. 🙏🖤
Have a wonderful trip, lovely Simone!
Thanks Rasha 🙏😊💙
