When I was in my 20's, I first learned of the Seth material and I really did not understand much of what I was reading. I was studying martial arts at the time and learning how to move energy. So I was curious about all the material of personal reality I could find. I found the Elias material, when it started, much easier to integrate. However, I have never pushed myself to follow it closely or read all the Seth or Elias material I as I was a very busy nurse at the time. I am also Sumari belonging and Tumold aligned (see info on essence families) so the healing arts took priority. When I started exploring naturopathy, herbal medicine and kinesiology doing energy balances with tuning forks and acupuncture I found myself drawn back to the Elias material and then again the Seth material. In 2014 I wanted to do a personal Elias session I asked him about energy exchanges and he had expressed it was highly likely I would be doing one as I was clear medium. I was astounded and humbled at the same time. Then he asked me to guess who? I had no idea at first as I did not know the names of the 12 participating. Then I heard the words Tompkin, as clear a bell in my head and I spoke it even before I could think screening my answer. He said correct!
Exercising
I then followed a series of exercises he gave me to expand my medium skills to a new level. practiced everything. One funny example was picturing myself dancing with Tompkin and spontaneously letting myself hear music. I knew Tompkin was there when I heard circus music! Then I just began. I tried in the presence of friends and then with the Elias people who volunteered. Those people still support me today and have become wonderful friends over the past 9 years. It was in 2016 I started publishing content for others to follow.
Elias said this in 2016 to Lystelle regarding what we go through starting an exchange:
"Now; what I would express is regardless of the concerns and the apprehension and even the fear, (which there is some fear in that), which I would acknowledge is very common. I would express that in relation to fear, I might have identified Michael as being terrified initially.
Now; this individual that is engaging this energy exchange with Tompkin, regardless of that fear and apprehension and regardless that they are creating more thickness than is necessary by questioning, and concern[ed] with outside perceptions, what I would express is a tremendous acknowledgement that she expresses such bravery - that she would allow the energy exchange, allow the expressions even with her limitations. For her limitations are what create that obstacle of the other essence expressing a recommendation to engage myself. That is her limitation that is generating that; not the other essence. The other essence would not advise you or encourage you to validate with myself. They would do it themself. Her limitation is creating that. But even with that limitation she is expressing such bravery to allow that exchange to the capacity that it would include that recommendation that you verify with myself.
Another individual might not express that bravery. They might look at that exchange and hear that recommendation and be horrified and discount themselves and not trust the other essence, for they may not recognize that they are what is creating that obstacle. That is bravery. And she will develop and she will likely become excellent at what she is doing but it will require time".
- (Elias 2016)
In 2023, I can now do an exchange with minimal effect on my body, I can remove myself completely and allow others to have their privacy and even talk about me without me knowing, which is very funny at times when they tell me later, and the caller always has privacy. If I am interrupted and that privacy is compromised, I stop and tell them, and then go into a trance again. I simply go for a walk with my horse in my head, we mentally head off into the desert. I sometimes get images from Tompkin to tell the people about, people really enjoy those. I can also now talk to my own essence, Niella directly and find this very encouraging when I am looking for ways through this shift to remain on my own path or intent, without the influence of others.
Skills
The expansion in my skills also expanded into energy work that was much greater than I ever expected and I have treated more than seven thousand patients over the years, and those that kept an open mind, found surprising results with our joint efforts. I use a combination of kinesiology and tuning forks, Bowen therapy and acupuncture and the results have amazed me. When I add in herbal medicine and nutritional medicine, there is a provision for what my patients require with much for their bodies to choose from. The Tompkin chats are sometimes the only thing they need, others do not operate in that framework with their beliefs, so we incorporate the natural medicine. Their journey is a privilege to share. I am grateful Tompkin is also there to help so many and I often see him standing at the end of the bed hanging onto their feet offering supportive energy. What an incredible gift! May we continue my dear friend Tompkin for many years to come!
Girl on the swing
People often ask why the girl on the swing with the paint palette? Well it's a boomerang paint palette that has the chakra colours on it. Firstly, I am an artist, I paint in several mediums. Second, the boomerang represents Tompkin as he has had so many lives with me as an aboriginal in Arnhem Land, my grandfather, my teacher, my mother. Many lives. Mostly I see him as my grandfather who raised me in one life. So the boomerang palette is representing him but also what you put out into your reality is what you get back! In this life I am a cheeky redhead with my swing hanging from the boomerang, just flying along with the dead dude. It is a reminder to be playful, have fun, we have many lives, but we need to relax and enjoy the skin we are presently in!
