It was the 6th of feb 2005 that my life changed forever.

My birthday was on the 3rd of Feb. However that year my sister (Tania) was coming to visit on the weekend after (being the 6th).

So I made a conscious decision that my new birthday was the 6th of Feb.

Tania and I went out for a night in Melbourne and met up with a new friend of ours Brad, who happened to be a Reiki Master.

Brad offered to do reiki on me that night, I had heard of it and really wanted to have it done. So after our night was over we went back to my apartment for my Reiki Therapy.

The session was nothing I had expected. It was more to me like an exorcism than any experience I had heard of. (Take note: my first experience with reiki is very rare, and only occurs in people with severe emotional suppression issues).

There was crying, screaming, internal pain and an intense pressure feeling that needed to be released.

I would tell my sister and brad what each pain correlated to as Brad went through by chakra blockages.

My life prior to Reiki was harder than most people could ever imagine. I endured not one but several huge life effecting issues that most never feel in an entire life time, I was only 28. A few life issues were common, such as: child abuse, Neglect, thrown out of home at 13 etc etc. But then there was the big one, the worst ever pain ever. After the most painful pregnancy my Princess Stephanie was born on the 29th July 1997. She had what looked to be hip issues and plagiocephally (abnormal head growth). Doctors said that in time the head and legs would get better. But they didn't, they got worse. Her head kept growing oddly and her muscle tone seemed odd. I would take stephanie often to different doctors trying to get answers and each time being told I was a worried first time mum that needed to relax. After 5 months of age Stephanie had a brain hemorrhage that was caused by a 10x5x2 clot formation that had been there so long it had grown into the developing brain. Due to negligence from the doctors they were very hesitant to tell me exactly what caused the formation.

This is a long story that goes off track to braided souls

More details on Stephanie's issues can be found at http://www.trippypossum.com.au/service5.html

So as you can imagine all my life issues caused many inner issues. I had suppressed my whole life. It was how I had managed to survive. I did not know any other way. Feelings of pure good I had never felt. Even the birth of my child was surrounded with fear of what was wrong with her.

I was on the surface a very strong, happy and positive person. However that was only on the outside. It was all an act of survival.

At times I wanted to cry I would laugh, at times I needed to be held and told "I love you" I would tell those closest that I hated them and didn't want them. Each day was becoming harder to play out the act of survival mode I had created. I was getting tired and ill very often.

Brad left not long after the therapy. I spent the whole day opening up to my sister and crying about all my life's issues that I had kept inside.

By the evening of the 7th my sister left and I was alone to feel myself for the first time ever. I hated it. I could not stand it. I cried, I screamed, I questioned, I felt and I could not bear it. My guard, (my survival technique) was gone.

I wanted to die, the pain was constant and would not stop. Before Reiki I had the same memories of what had happened in my life as I still had after but my emotions were scattered and blocked. Having reiki made me feel for the first time ever, so all the events that had occurred in my life since my first emotional split (@2years of age) were fresh. The feelings from the neglect, abuse and my daughters issues were fresh and real and uncontrollable. I had thought prior to this that I was just tougher than most, that was why I could still smile after all I had endured. However the truth was it was all an act. It was fake. What was real was my pain and now that my chakra was open there was no blocking.

Having no faith in god due to the hand in life I had been dealt, I decided to turn to spiritual higher power. I had in the past had many psychic events occur as well as other spiritual encounters, so I did have recognition of there being MORE...

My daughter was at this time 7 years old. After years of physic I had just gotten her out of her walking frame and using a walking stick 6 months prior. I had enrolled Steph into mainstream school receiving 1 on 1 care. Getting Steph better was my whole life.

My existing soul as tired and drained as it was just could not bear the thought of leaving Steph. I wanted to did due to the internal pain but couldn't as my fear of what would happen with Stephanie would not let me go. I thought of a strange resolution.

As I sat alone in my room I asked aloud if there was any other soul that could please come and help me get through that time. I explained my fear of leaving Steph and need for continued existence (to get things resolved, and find karmic resolution for my soul).

I also explained that for a while I just could no longer deal with things. With-in half an hour I felt a presence in the room. It was strong and I just knew it was another soul coming to join me. I could feel love around me. I kept saying. "I can feel you, your here aren't you", "oh my god your here, where are you handing? I can feel you but not see you?

I then felt the energy enter me. I think it started at the arms then the legs. I could literally feel it hoping in. I was saying. "what are you doing? Are you joining me?

Then there was a switch going on,

a voice started saying to me

"ok just relax, I'm here, it's seems strange like nothing you've ever felt but it's ok?"

"Just relax, it's ok, relax, it's ok

I started to get scared again. I thought "this is what it's like to be crazy"

The voice then said we are together now, we are one. And it will be ok.

just relax.

I some how slept that night.

Waking the next day was strange, I just did not feel right.

I WAS A DIFFERENT PERSON.

I went on with life, the memories were still all there, however it felt similar to how blocking felt in the way that I was emotionally mute to the past experience's. When I spoke of the past it was with a lot more knowledge of the situation on an even angle. It was like a third party opinion on my whole past.

I did however have extremely strong urges to find answers to help me heal and move on from past issues.

I studied Tarot reading and other metaphysical topics. I refused to even think about reiki as it scared the Life out of me (literally).

I changed jobs and started referring to myself as Trippypossum. My interest's, goals and views changed in many ways.

Feb 2008 makes 3 years since my braided soul emerge. I went through agony trying to blend the 2. When ever the walk in would make a bad decision TRACEY would pop back up tired and angry saying "what the hell are you doing, your meant to be fixing things. Can I rest or what?"

Arguments and inner turmoil. the souls were fighting against each other.

Originally I thought I was re-born in 2005 (and I guess in some forms I was). I failed however to get advice on dealing with braided souls. Quite accidently I seen a course on reiki that got my attention. I initially thought "no way, That's bad stuff", then something said, " It's what you need to do, It is you". So I did. I started studying Reiki.

I was hooked straight away. With-in 2 days I said to my friend. This is going to heal me, energy is my gift".

I felt my self aligning. I could distinguish the inner soul and the braided soul most of the time.

I started to be in control of my energies. However it was not until late 2007 that I knew more of what had occurred in feb 2005.

Since 2005 a I have opened The Australian Metaphysical Association (AMpA), I promote all aspects of metaphysics, especially those I have felt them in my life. It is metaphysics that have kept me here.

I have resolved many generational issues that were in my family.

I have also managed to study in detail the issues surrounding my daughters birth. In feb 2008, I have a meeting with the doctor involved with Stephanies birth, and have been told I will have the truth.

Over the past 18 months I have healed and directed many people in the right direction. I am happy that I can do this.

I have created my own therapy technique called Suppression Release Therapy (SRT), that I feel can make a difference where modern medicine can not, most of all when it comes to emotional illness.

Once I have the truth surrounding Stephanie I am not sure if the trippypossum soul

will stay or go. I feel it may leave once Tracey's issues are fixed and ready for her to take over again.

I do feel also that Tracey will keep the memories that Trippypossum created and implanted which will forever make me
