The playing of Self Mastery seems to promote healing. It opens infinite doorways to help you master a fear, a problem, a dilemma or a debilitating attitude. Self Mastery possesses a spirit quality or energy that transforms a situation or changes the perspective of a person into seeing a positive view.

This miraculous change or alchemy can come through one word, a phrase, a card or a symbol during a game play or through interaction with someone in the group who shares their insight. This can trigger an “on” switch for a player causing instant breakthrough, acceptance and surrender.

Enthusiasm and spontaneous energy combusts to burn up the old patterns and ways, forming healthier lives. Old beliefs seem to fall away like autumn leaves, preparing for renewed life.

If a player does not seem to get the message immediately there will be a repetition of words or same meanings until they wake up to the truth. The repetition becomes an affirmation mantra that begins to resonate within and leaves no room for past or future fractured thoughts. One literally wakes up and becomes present. This is one of the reasons a lot of writing is done it slows dow n the process and allows full consciousness.

Self Mastery is used as a support system in times of confusion and difficulties. It does help change perceptions about issues that seem at the time challenging and fraught with confusion. A shift seems to take place and this changes everything.

Feedback stories

Healing occurs due to mastering self and taking responsibility.
This is a card one player drew: “ Why are you in this debilitating belief system? You don’t deserve this.”

Her issue was panic attacks which manifested when she had people around her. Her face would go red, she would stop breathing or begin to hyperventilate, speak incoherently, and act “weirdly.” She would focus on, “How can I hide this fear?” The more she tried to hide it the more it persisted and her thoughts told her how stupid she was. The more she chastised herself the more the problem escalated.

( I do not prescribe Self Mastery as a way to rid yourself of a health problem. It just so happened that this player unexpectedly found healing due to her own insights and her willingness to change her patterns.)

From this “game play: she figured out some profound things about herself and her childhood complications. She had a starting point and is now on the way to self-healing. The major breakthrough was in her taking responsibility for her life.

Self Mastery is boundless and profound.
A group of three friends played Self Mastery all asking their own personal questions. Individually they received poignant guidance and insights. The friend that lent them the game told them about a fantastic reader. A psychic that seemed to be very accurate and positive. Each made an appointment without telling the others they had done so. Each was unaware that they had appointments on the same day, in consecutive order. When one had the completed the hour reading other friend was waiting.

Afterwards they discussed the readings and were amazed that the reader, almost word for word in all three cases spoke the language and content of each persons Self Mastery game play.

After this confirmation of the game’s ability to guide and impart constructive information, they all purchased a game.

Never underestimate the miracles that occur when consulting Self Mastery.
A women in the I.T. sector who played the game told me she received bits and pieces of her life as she circled all four planes: the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. She felt the bits and pieces reinforced her view of her fragmented life. She considered this and saw her perspective on life as inconsistent and bitty. She felt separated from her whole and did not flow on the path of the continuum.

Once she put the pieces together, a bit like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, she was able to view her life as a full picture. Instead of painfully sifting through the details of each fragment she formed a full scope of her life and talents, thus integrating herself. She understood that to be in a constant state of fractured sections kept her isolated. Her realignment meant she could gather her parts together as a full and complete person, confident in the strength she now felt as being fully together.

Even those who are sceptics can change!
A player seemed sceptical. “I suppose once I finish the Physical Plane, I will be enlightened!” He kept up the jokes and criticism until he reached a stage where he received some pertinent information that shut him up immediately. He withdraw internally and began to play as though his life depended on it. Deeply, silently and with great focus he continued to play.

His mind connected with his heart and he began to feel his cynical attitudes dissolve. The connection to his internal emotions and the surrender of the ego had a profound effect. As his armouring dissolved he connected to his heart and opened to the other players. His scepticism was due to fear.

The game comes with its own energy. It will do what it needs to do in order to heal your problems.
A Numerology client told me this story. She had lent her game to her girlfriend who consulted Self Mastery alone. Her question dealt with bonding with her 14 year old son. My client told me that her friend had never bonded with her son even though he was now 14. Because he was a teenager she felt even more alienated, separate and distressed about their lovelessness and the angst her son was portraying.

She received an insight during her “game play” and activated an event that changed their lives.

She went to her son and poured her heart out and spoke of her guilt, her sadness, pain and shattered dreams. Her fear and inadequacy as a mother and how desperately she wanted to let him in and be let in. This honesty and authentic communication connected to the heart of her son. They became a mirror to each other. The pain and confusion seemed to fall away and for the first time they connected in an embrace of hearts that flooded them in tears and love.

He now calls her Mum, helps her with her groceries and pulls his own weight around the house. They speak to each other as mother and son.

The game triggered something in her to take responsibility to heal the rift and speak about it from the heart. Trust and faith was gained.

A family of four decided to spend a Sunday playing the game of life. Both the daughter and son were in their late teens and the communication between parents and siblings was almost non existent. This day things changed. Because Self Mastery has a non-confrontational and win-win way, the family began to disclose their innermost emotions and fears and began to openly and safely share themselves with each other.

The father said that this was the most rewarding and heart connected day he had spent with his family in years. He said, “ For the first time since the children were young our family played a game where there was no upset or conflict.”

Self mastery connects to the subconscious, awakening the truth to the moment of the awareness of now.
You can be assured that if you ask a question, the Source of Self Mastery will answer the appropriate and most urgent question, whether it is the one you wrote down or the one that was in your inner consciousness. An example of this discovery for me came when a woman had asked a question about her business. The information and feedback she was receiving didn’t seem to align to her question. I asked her if when she was writing her “safe” question whether in fact she had another thought or agenda in mind. Of course she did. It dealt with a relationship and when she put that question in context with her reading, it made perfect sense. I have seen this happen time and time again and the game will encourage one to master the self in an area one may not want to go. But consulting Self Mastery is in fact mastering the self which is the source of all possibilities.

Each person is an individual so each question has its own individual merits and guidelines.
A woman running her own business asked a question about the steps she needed to take in order to bring her closer to a one million dollar turn over in her company. Well, you can imagine how much work and determination she would need to sustain an energy to manifest this.

There were four other players sharing this “game play.” The others moved steadily around and up through the four planes while this woman repeated the Physical Plane nine times. On her tenth time around she was given a card that moved her to the player in front of her. She bypassed the Emotional, Mental and Intuitive Planes landing at The Spirit Light where she completed her game with the Revelation and Self Mastery overview at the same time as the other four players. She needed to receive so much practical and physical information as the real stepping stones to her goal. She has put in place the necessary elements in her business to achieve her desire and is brilliantly on her way.

There are always signposts if you are willing to look.
“What appropriate guidelines and understandings do I need to be aware of so my communication with my ex-husband is heard, understood and evenly worked out in regards to our daughter?”

Immediately this player received some synchronistic information that pointed in the direction of a karmic condition.
Karma is simply “cause and effect.”

In her early years she set up her standards and high principles and said she would never involve herself with those that lived below her standards. She married a man who treated her as a second class citizen, controlled and abused her. She had compromised her standards and lived in conflict to her guidelines and beliefs. Equality in a relationship had always been her mantra until her marriage changed that.

As the game unfolded the patterns of her life become clearer and she put things in a perspective and realised she had set up her own punishment for going against the grain of her beliefs thus creating her own karma. By marrying someone who opposed her high standards she felt a guilt that she was at fault and so set up her punishment by having to deal with an abusive, angry and rude ex- husband every time he came to pick up their 11 year old daughter.

When she had the insight about the self-punishment, she became clear and focused on discussing a ritual she would create. Firstly she said she would forgive herself by writing out a list of “What I will forgive myself for and let go of,” The ritual was that of lighting fire to her written words thus burning up her old beliefs and karma and sending it away. As she was talking about the ritual process of release and sharing her reading, a lighted candle on the table accidentally lit fire to her progressional journey thus immediately creating the self fulfilling prophecy of release. What her Universe was reflecting was that she was on the right track for the ritual to take place instantaneously.

The way you play Self Mastery is the way you live your life.
A woman played as though she had a million things on her mind. She was scattered, unfocused and distracted. She said,”I live my life with distractions.”

A supportive player was helpful and overly responsible for the other players. When it came to herself she ignored her problems and was unable to see her way through but her insights and counselling skills for the group were magnificent. She was a therapist and teacher. The saying, “what you teach is what you need to learn,” was certainly apt.

A dental technician analysed and deciphered the feedback and information pedantically, carefully, writing his game play in full detail. There is nothing wrong in playing this way, it just relays the structure of one’s life and career.

Another player never really achieved the patterns of playing Self Mastery. Each time it was her turn she had to ask what to do. Never once did she think for herself. She was only safe in being guided by others. This was her life’s pattern.

You may be the mirror to those you share the “game play” with.
A breakthrough can sometimes occur when a similar pattern is reflected in another player. Like kind can attract. A woman spoke about the antidepressants she was taking. At the same table was another player who had kept secret her own course of prescribed antidepressants. She felt guilty and weak to be in need of such drugs, so never spoke of it until this game play sharing. Through discussion with the group of six she was able to accept that where she was in her life was acceptable. She rang me a week later and was so released from guilt and self pain that she was able to stop taking her drugs. She felt she received the love and understanding from others without their judgements or criticisms. She began to accept herself because a group of five other supporting women connected. Self Mastery somehow creates heart to heart connections.

A player discussed every little detail and expanded on a word to such a degree that it took ten minutes for her to complete a turn. The player partnering her game play became extremely agitated with this woman even though her way was a reflection of this woman’s idiosyncrasies ( slow, laboured and pedantic.) It seems that synchronisity plays a huge part in manifesting that which needs to be healed, discovered and understood.

Those most reluctant to play, to share or to be present have the biggest breakthroughs.
A friend I had asked to play the game seemed reluctant. She really hated board games especially with all the writing involved. She was unwell and resistant and told me so. Her question dealt with why a relationship with a man seemed illusive. She discovered that if she allowed intimacy to occur she would need to surrender herself not to love but to her fear of appearing weak. Her belief was that all males overpower and control. She acted and appeared totally self-contained, unapproachable and in need of nothing. “ I am OK so don’t come close!” How could anyone get close when her energy and attitude suggested total self control. Vulnerability and softness to her meant that a man would take over and control her, oppress and overpower. Her revelation brought flooded tears and an understanding that intimacy and owning up to being in need was not giving up the self but gaining a close relationship to share with someone special.

Living in the head with intellectual chatter and not in the feelings can cover up the truth.
An accountant was railroaded by his wife to play Self Mastery with a group of men. He was not happy and told me he didn’t want to play a silly game. The men did not want to share their question. (There is nothing wrong with this however it is a bonus to do so) I was privy to each of their questions. The question was on his relationship with his wife and how could he tell her how he was feeling and have his needs met. He was totally perplexed, confused and alienated by the information he was writing down. He called me over and whispered his concern. The card he showed me basically said, “How will your partner know what and how you are feeling if you do not speak about it or share from a heart connected state?” He had no idea what this meant. I was floored to say the least. I put it in another perspective and language and something clicked for him because from there on he totally involved himself and his feeling in playing his game and mastering his problem.

Overcoming fears.
When one confronts their fears they no longer exist. A player told me about her reluctance in consulting Self Mastery with others. Her fear was that she would appear stupid, inadequate and maybe put down by other players. She faced her fear of criticism and played. She said, “ It was relaxed, enjoyable, empowering. There was no wrong, it all seemed perfect. I was supported all the way on my journey.” It gave her great strength, courage and confidence in herself.

Self healing occurs due to mastering the self.
A scientist was encouraged to play Self Mastery with his wife and another couple. His question was about his health. He was overweight; physical exercise was non existent and he had been complaining about his sluggish and unwell body. He was too busy analysing and deciphering his science to take time for himself.

He never moved off the physical level and was so disgruntled he never finished the game play. The other players had completed their journey by the time he gave in. Two weeks later his wife called and told me her husband put himself on a sugar and carbohydrate free diet, started an exercise programme and was spending some time relaxing instead of constantly working. He never mentioned his gems of information he received on the physical level but I suspect he received encouraging feedback to heal himself and master his physical unwellness.

Your Universe has miracles in store when you are ready to heal and are prepared to change your life.
This story encapsulates many, many similar stories that are constantly occurring. This is about relationship and love. Those who have not been in a love relationship from anywhere between one year to twenty have asked a similar question: What do I need to change in myself, understand, activate, heal, release, in order to create, embrace and connect to a healthy and sharing relationship with a man. This is a mixture of a question taken from all the individually tailored questions.

Within a two week span of time each one of these women literally fell into a relationship. As some of them have said, “He just fell into my lap.” I feel that what occurs is the willingness to change something in themselves in order to create a flow of synchronisity. By writing down their question the Universe mirrors their readiness for having a relationship. A relationship can be hard work but they have all been prepared to change their beliefs in order to change their situation.

Sometimes Self Mastery can answer questions that are least expected. It can on occasions foretell the future and switch on the intuitive faculty.
I was asked to teach Self Mastery at The New Church. It is a church based on Swedenborg the 17th century philosopher, mystic. He pursued spiritual answers to life’s challenging questions. The only ones that turned up for my lesson were the minister and my helper. We sat as in a triangle in front of the alter and under a huge white eagle representative of higher perspective and insight.

“What guidance am I to be open to in order to follow the balance of the Physical and Spiritual path so that all is in Divine Order and in perfect alignment with my destiny and self-mastery?” My question as I discovered later had nothing to do with my overview. The information overview seemed to have nothing familiar or meaningful in relationship to my game play reading. The personal information to my question was uplifting and inspiring and not one that brought me to tears.

My overview: I feel we have some sadness to overcome. It must not deplete us but empower us to go on, no matter what cross we have to bear. We are the modern warriors and goddesses that can turn challenges into advantages. We have come to move continually on without fear, without loneliness, but to embrace the souls of all in their perfect state.

There is nothing we can not overcome. The way we perceive life in all areas is to be from a centred state and one that leads eternally on. We have always the angels that reach out and guide us.

Two days later on September 9th 2001 the NY Twin Towers Trade Centre came down. I wondered if the overview I received was a message from the angels?

I reread my game play months later and it seems to have given me both the physical and spiritual answers that by coincidence or synchronisity reflected September, 11th. The following is a shortened version of the main guidance out of the 5 page reading. “ Lighten up. There is no reality to fear of anything. There will be intense feelings with a telepathic experience that is sudden and upsetting. Light a candle to celebrate life. A prayer is to be said. Focus on all occurrences with love and not fear.”

You are not stuck!
A player felt he was stuck on the Physical Plane due to his continued circling of this level. He began to use this stuckness as an excuse not to make changes in his life. He began to wallow and collapse in his self-depreciation and his crippling past history. He started playing to his audience because he enjoyed the attention and he made milage out of his difficulties.

Sometimes it takes a player right into their stuff and then out again. What he began to realise was his need to hold onto his wounds. Holding on stopped the energy needed to activate taking responsibility for himself. What scared him was the unknown outcomes if he in fact changed his life. His stuckness was due to his fear of moving ahead. (Sometimes when you repeat any of the four planes it is because you need more information to create clarity).

When he confronted his fears he began to move towards his self-mastery. His breakthrough was profound and lasting.
